"Colonel, this is not cabbage, and you can't bargain like this. Zheng Yucheng was the first to react.

Iraq is really curious, it doesn't want Pakistanis, it's too poor to be poor, and it's going to die of slamming the door.

"At this price, if you want, we can sign a purchase contract today. Although I don't know what your production cost is, it is absolutely impossible to reach 200,000 yuan, or even 100,000 yuan. Ibrahim obviously didn't want to dwell too much on this, "The first batch of 200 sets, if the performance is really good, we will talk about it later." But I'd love to work with you on other things. ”

"Colonel, what kind of cooperation?" Zheng Yucheng still wanted to ask for more price, but Xie Kai shook his head, he could only give up, and instead asked the Iraqis what cooperation they wanted, "Let's talk about it first, we can't do nuclear bombs, we can't cooperate." ”

His words made the entire conference room laugh.

Even if they do have the technology, it is impossible to talk about cooperation with them.

Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan both just came back to their senses.

At the beginning, the tension was still raging, and in just such an instant, the two sides reached a contract for the purchase of air defense missiles of 20 million US dollars!

That's 20 million US dollars, not 20 million yuan, that's foreign exchange.

It seems that something becomes easier when it comes to 404, is there really nothing that 404 can't solve?

They wanted to see what kind of medicine was being sold in the Iraqi gourd.

"Anti-aircraft missile tank?" Xie Kai didn't understand what the other party wanted to cooperate with, and given such a big price, their cooperation couldn't be too simple.

"Anti-aircraft missile tank, we need to see the performance of the 359 tank prototype that you cooperate with Pakistan. The design of the wedge-shaped turret, even if we procured it, is a target for the enemy's air strikes. Ibrahim said.

Xie Kai's introduction in workshop 359, they really paid attention.

An anti-aircraft missile launcher disguised as a tank, a Western year, is placed in a pair of round-headed Soviet-style tanks, which is to clearly tell others that there is a problem with this tank, and it is strange not to be beaten first.

Really engage in air-to-air missiles?

Xie Kai was stunned, the Iraqis weren't joking, right?

"The reason why we are willing to place an order of $20 million without determining the specific performance of your air defense missiles and without seeing you hit targets again is that we hope that you can make use of the existing air defense missile technology to further improve and provide an air-to-air missile with advanced performance for the Jian-7 fighters we have purchased from your country!" Ibrahim's words made everyone feel incredible.

Especially Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan.

Isn't that foolish?

Sure enough, the Iraqis were generous for no reason, and they took this opportunity to ask 404 to help them develop an advanced air-to-air missile.

Xie Kai's face became a little weird.

The Iranians have successfully attached the "Hawk" surface-to-air missile developed by the United States in the 60s to the F-14 Tomcat fighter, so that their most advanced fighter has a new long-range air-to-air missile after losing the supply from the United States.

The Iraqis also had a big brain, dismantling the Scud missiles purchased from the Soviet Union and replacing them with two, effectively increasing the range of their missiles and having a longer attack capability, and from then on, Saddam Hussein had missiles with a range of 600 kilometers that could attack from their borders to Tehran, the capital of Iran, and Tel Aviv, the capital of Israel.

The good story of "three bombs and two bombs, doubling the range" has since spread in the rivers and lakes.

Now these guys have asked them to transform surface-to-air defense missiles into air-to-air attack missiles, which makes Advisor Xie have nothing to do, he has never been exposed to air-to-air missiles before.

For a moment, his face was extremely strange.

"Colonel, air-to-air missiles, you can find our domestic professional air-to-air missile research units, and they will definitely provide products that satisfy you. Long Yaohua said.

The fact that the 404 base was able to produce surface-to-air missiles was already an accident, and the talent and technical reserves were insufficient.

Now the Iraqis want to cooperate with 404 and let 404 engage in air-to-air missiles, isn't this nonsense?

"No, the guidance mode of their missiles is very suitable for changing to air-to-air missiles. The laser guidance of the launch system can be installed on the radar of the fighter and transmitted to the data processor of the missile guidance center through the fire control system of the fighter...... "Ibrahim said solemnly.

"You can let other units make improvements according to your requirements. Li Mingshan also felt that these Iraqis were too nonsense, "This unit is not a professional missile research unit, they do not have a lot of talent reserves, and their technical foundation is weak." ”

"We work with them, and it doesn't matter to us whether they work with other units or if they do it themselves. Ibrahim shook his head.

didn't give Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan face at all.

The $20 million purchase of 200 sets of avant-garde individual missile launch systems is not because they value the advanced nature of the avant-garde, but because they want to give the 404 base a sum of money to invest in transforming the avant-garde into air-to-air missiles.

"No problem. We can provide you with such missiles, but we don't know what you need...... "Zheng Yucheng doesn't care so much, as long as he has money and a beautiful knife to earn, he will not refuse."

404's money is too small, and he, the director, can't stand up straight.

Xie Kai made it very clear to him that the gold-swallowing monster of the Yunshi Project, ten or even fifteen years, maybe twenty years or even more time, do not expect to make money, you must continue to invest, and the more you invest in the later stage, the greater the amount of money.

He always felt that he was poor, that the base was poor, and that he could not support such a project.

Now that the Iraqis are taking the initiative to send money, they are still in front of Long Yaohua and others, how can he not do it.

"As long as the modification performance is not bad and the order is at least thousand, we can sign a contract of intent to entrust research and development. Ibrahim's words suggest that he is not joking.

"There is no predetermined fee, and it is useless to sign a contract of intent, when the time comes, we will come out, you don't want it, what should we do?" Zheng Yu said embarrassedly, "Perhaps, we can cooperate with the Pakistani side in research and development, or you will invest in it, and we will develop it." ”

If you don't see a rabbit or an eagle, Zheng Yucheng will not be interested in no matter how big the cooperation intention is, when he doesn't get the money.

If you don't have money, don't talk to Director Zheng about business.

"We are not interested in this cooperation model, and we have not co-developed it with you. It stands to reason that when we purchase fighter jets from your country, your country should provide excellent and advanced air-to-air missile support, but unfortunately, your country's air-to-air missiles are too poor, and many of them are imitation products. Ibrahim's words really didn't leave any mercy at all.

The J-7 negotiations with China have also been seriously affected by the poor performance of the air-to-air missile.

The strength of the fighter lies not only in the fact that the fighter has an advanced fire control system and early warning radar, but also has an advanced air-to-air missile to match it.

Otherwise, the enemy is spotted, but it cannot be attacked, and it will either run away or become a target.

Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan's faces couldn't be hung up.

But what the other side is telling the truth is that there are no sufficiently advanced air-to-air missiles in China, most of them are imitation products, and even many imitation products have not yet succeeded.

This cannot be denied.

"Colonel, none of our professional research units in China can meet your requirements, and I think it will be difficult for us to meet your requirements as well. Xie Kai thought for a long time and finally spoke.

"Xiao Xie, how can you be so unconfident? We have the foundation of surface-to-air missiles, and it is not too difficult to develop air-to-air missiles on this, is it? Song Deming, do you tell him that it is difficult?" Zheng Yucheng was anxious.

As long as there is a project, it is entirely possible to reach out to the top to ask for projects, funds, and even professional and technical personnel for research on air-to-air missiles.

The restoration of the glory of the former 404 base is just around the corner.

How could Xie Kai refuse?

"No, I think you can meet our requirements. Infrared guidance technology has been developed for many years, and you are the first unit with a mature helium-cooled indium antimonide detector in many military units and scientific research institutes in your country. This infrared detection technology is far more comprehensive than the detection range of the electrolyzed lead sulfide detector...... Ibrahim's words tell everyone that he can sit in this position and have the right to decide, and he has real skills.

"Chief Li Mingshan is right, we have insufficient talent reserves, weak technical foundation, and it is not possible to establish a project for development. Xie Kai's words made Zheng Yucheng extremely anxious.

How can you refuse!

Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan were also surprised, this was the first time they met Xie Kai to push the project out.

No unit cares whether it has the ability or not, anyway, get the project in hand first.

"If you need an air-to-air missile with helium-cooled indium antimonide detector guidance technology, we can provide it to our sister units, and they will help you develop it. Xie Kai's words made Zheng Yucheng so angry that he wanted to jump up.

On the side, he kept giving Xie Kai a look and making small movements, but Xie Kai didn't seem to see it at all.

Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan guessed Xie Kai's purpose.

This kid has never been a good person, and he has such a kind intention to give projects to other units and provide technology?

They don't believe it.

Only Song Deming understood Xie Kai's thoughts, and he knew better than anyone else that the success of the avant-garde individual air defense missile was an accident, and they did not even have the ability to develop missiles.

"It's your business, we just want to work with you. Regardless of whether you transfer the project to another unit or cooperate with another research unit, there is only one condition, and I hope that you can provide air-to-air missiles that meet our needs when the Jian-7 is delivered to us!" Ibrahim insisted on his own opinion.

Everyone didn't understand why he had to blame Base 404 for such a thing.
