"Okay, that's natural. If Your Excellency Qusay is willing to use legal missiles, I think our technicians are very willing to cooperate with French technicians." Fred said from the side, this deal can be regarded as a conclusion A preliminary order intention has been made.

"Let's talk about our price." Hill said: "The first ten complete machines cost 1500 million U.S. dollars each, 1300 parts are sold at 400 million U.S. dollars each, and the remaining 600 are assembled at your side, but The engine and some key equipment still have to be imported, about US$3000 million per engine, plus other equipment such as radar, which translates to about US$[-] million for each aircraft, and US$[-] million for the production line, equivalent to a total of US$[-] billion and US$[-] million, a fraction We don't want it. You need to pay us $[-] million upfront."

billion dollars!This is definitely an astronomical sum. When Zhang Feng heard it, his head grew bigger. Wait!In my impression, even the whole machine is only $1100 million, right?This Yankee's asking price is too harsh!This is just a light fighter!

You must know that this fighter jet only spent 270 million U.S. dollars during the entire development process, while the U.S. Air Force itself equipped 16 F-6s with a total cost of more than [-] million U.S. dollars.

Moreover, this is only the price for export, and the next 70 will be produced in China, so the production line and other expenses will definitely cost one billion US dollars!

20 billion US dollars, build 100 light F-20 fighter jets, each equivalent to 2000 million US dollars, is it worth it?Only Zhang Feng himself knows, the absolute value!

1 Chapter [-] Secret Agreement ([-])

1 Chapter [-] Secret Agreement ([-])——

"Price is not the problem." Zhang Feng said, "Then when can I receive the first ten planes at the earliest?"

"Our company is doing a test flight. It should take half a year to finalize the design. As for the pre-production model, it is estimated to take about a year." Hill said.

"I hope you can do it as soon as possible. You know, we are always facing the threat of the Tomcat." Zhang Feng said: "Equipment such as engines and radars for our assembly can be delivered to us in advance."

"This company will do what it can," Hill said.

Zhang Feng knows that if it is a completely new fighter, it will take about ten years at the fastest from the aerodynamic layout, to the design of various systems on the diagram, to the manufacture of the prototype, and to the test flight, but this F-20 is only It was developed on the basis of the mature f-5 series fighter jets, so it can be manufactured in such a short period of time, and the production line can also improve the original f-5 production line:.

Although it is said that a production line is required, the engine and avionics and other equipment to be assembled still have to purchase finished products. The company that produces the engine is not the same as the company that produces the aircraft. It is simply too difficult to introduce the engine production line of the other party. I know that aircraft engines are the top strength of a country's industry. Even if the entire engine is exported, it will face various pressures. That's why Zhang Feng mentioned purchasing the engine in advance, which can be stored in advance.

"Then, since we have already negotiated, I also hope that your company can lobby the government of your country, so that this transaction for us can go smoothly." Zhang Feng said.

"Yes, Your Excellency Qusay, we will definitely do our best," Fred said.

With this batch of orders, Nopoulos will definitely step up research and development and invest more in research and development. At that time, if the US government bans this export, Nopoulos will be crying without tears and lose everything. !

Zhang Feng looked at the back of the other party leaving, and already held a note in his hand. When the other party left just now, Hill deliberately fell behind. When shaking hands, he gave Zhang Feng a note.

Zhang Feng opened the note, which was written in scribbled Arabic. Hill hoped that he could meet with Zhang Feng alone to discuss other matters.

Other things?What else is he more interested in?In Zhang Feng's mind, he had already guessed seven or eight points, and the good show was finally on the stage.

In the evening, in a private room of a hotel in Basra, Zhang Feng met Hirki again.

Before coming, the special forces had deployed guards on the whole street, and there were secret sentries everywhere in the hotel. Zhang Feng knew that Uday's assassination was also a warning to himself, so he must pay attention to his own safety. I am the hope of Iraq's future!

"Your Excellency Qusay, I'm really sorry this time, because we're talking about confidentiality, and I don't want more people to know." Hill said: "I came with peace and sincerity."

Peaceful sincerity?Zhang Feng smiled: "Mr. Hill, you are really honest!"

"Your Excellency Qusay, this time the export production line, you must know that we have spent a lot of effort to get the high-level military and government officials to agree to this matter. We did this only for one purpose." Hill Looking at the person opposite, knowing what he is going to say next may play a key role, or it may make him disappear here immediately.

Although I am the director of Nopoulos Company, and I came here for business, but, speaking of my real purpose, if Qusay hated the Jews very much, then I would definitely not be able to leave the gate here.

Hill was fearless, he said: "I hope you can let the general go, I know, he is still in your hands."

After speaking, Hill waited quietly, watching the other party's reaction.

Zhang Feng was not surprised. In fact, he had expected that after the armed rescue failed, the other party could only go this way, because this is an Israeli general. If he is not dead, then staying in Iraq is very dangerous. However, if Iraq discloses the whole matter, Israel will fall into a passive position in the international arena, and its reputation will be greatly hit.

Since force can't solve it, it can only be done in this way.And what Zhang Feng expected was the same, and this was why he had captured the Israeli general without making a fuss.

In this world, the most important thing is two words: interest.

"What if I disagree?" Zhang Feng asked.

"Then, our sale plan this time will definitely be strongly opposed by some officials in the government. Even if an agreement is reached, it will be wiped out." Hill said: "With the general alone, in exchange for the advanced The production line of fighter jets, Iraq should make a lot of money, right?"

"The general is more than this price." At this time, Zhang Feng was completely like a profiteer, and said: "The general is an Israeli general. I don't know how many generals there are in the Israel Defense Forces?" "

"What do you mean by that?" Hill asked.

"The general's status is so high, and, in my place, I have eaten my food for so many days, and there is a special person to take care of it every day, the cost is very high..."

"Your Excellency Qusay, the price of the fighter plane is already the lowest price that the company can offer. If you continue to bargain, then this business will really fail." Hill said: "The price is set by the company. , we just dredged the government's joints for you, so stop bargaining."

"I'm not trying to bargain, I just think it's not easy for you to untangle the joints once, so it's better to sell them in a bundle and sell me something more:" Zhang Feng said.

When Hill heard it, he couldn't help feeling uneasy: "What else do you want?"

There are so many things in the U.S. treasury. Since he can get all the contracts for the fighter jet production line, he can naturally come up with something else, right?

Hill was very nervous, afraid that the other party would blurt out something like f-15, f-16, etc. The other party said it easily, and no matter how high the energy of the domestic side was, they couldn't get it. Besides, if the f-20's range was not too short, It will not pose a threat to Israel, otherwise, even the f-20 will not be considered.

"The Persian fighter jets are too powerful, and Iraq lacks long-range early warning radars. I want you to help me get two sets of an/fps-117 early warning radars." Zhang Feng said.

Hill's eyes widened, dude, you are really a lion!

an/fps-117 warning radar is a three-coordinate air warning radar.Mainly used for air alert and auxiliary navigation.It is mainly composed of planar array antenna, operation control system, generator and other parts.

The an/fps-117 radar has a range of 9 to 300 kilometers, an operating frequency of 1215-1400 MHz, azimuth coverage of 360-, elevation angle of -6- to 20-, detection height of 3 meters, and scanning method of azimuth machine scanning. The elevation angle is phase-swept, and the antenna speed is 5 rpm. It is a main air-to-air warning radar equipped by the US military.

It is simply impossible to get this kind of radar.Hill shook his head: "This is really impossible." Please remember the URL, if you like "Babylonian Empire" written by Huadongzhixiong

Chapter 141 Secret Agreement ([-])

Chapter 141 Secret Agreement ([-])——

"Then get [-] sets of Hawker surface-to-air missile systems, this shouldn't be difficult!" Zhang Feng said.

The Hawk surface-to-air missile was the main surface-to-air missile of the United States before the Patriot appeared, mainly used for medium-range and low-altitude defense.It can deal with various targets such as jet aircraft, rotorcraft, unmanned aerial vehicle and cruise missile.

However, it is impossible to export this kind of thing. Hill shook his head helplessly again. This kind of request is very difficult to fulfill, but he is also very nervous. If he refuses the other party twice, will it make the other party furious? , thus ruining the mission that had already been completed this time?

Sure enough, the other party was upset, and His Excellency Qusay's face became gloomy.

"Please don't be angry. These two things are indeed equipment that our country strictly prohibits exporting. Your country is not qualified." Hill said, gritted his teeth: "At most, I can get some Stinger shoulder-launched missiles."

Stinger?Zhang Feng is already very satisfied. He knows that the United States will never export those things just now. It is just asking for prices. Besides, even if he is equipped with them, the Americans know all the parameters of the radar. , as long as the seeker of a morrator is modified, then it will be a pile of scrap iron:.

The Stinger is different. This shoulder-launched missile is definitely much better in performance than the Soviet Sam-7.

In 1971, in order to replace the "Red Eye" portable missile, the U.S. Army chose the improved "Red Eye" ii as the future portable air defense missile, the model is fim-92. In 1972, the "Red Eye" ii was renamed " "Stinger", known as the second-generation portable air defense missile. In February 1976, after several years of development, the US Department of Defense was satisfied that various problems with the system earlier had been overcome. In 2, the Stinger was finally approved for small-scale production. In April 1978, General Dynamics won the first contract for mass production of the FIM-1978A missile. In 4, mass production of the first production models began and deliveries began.

This portable missile, until the 21st century, is still a fairly mature portable missile.

Because it is only a small portable missile, and the main concept of the U.S. Air Force is offense, this missile is only a last-ditch defense measure, and it doesn't matter at all, which is why Hill feels confident that he can get it.

"Okay, then give me five hundred stingers." Zhang Feng said.
