934 The ultimate buyer of the Super -7A (1/5 for the big alliance to eat)
"Indeed, the performance of Chinese-made fighters is backward, although the price is not high, if you want to sell it at a higher price, unless you need a country that urgently needs fighters. At the moment, Iraq is ...... with the Persians," Alex said, nodding.
It was he who proposed to sell the Chinese fighters.
He already had a plan in mind.
They even discussed the possibility with Capers, otherwise they wouldn't have been so happy to sign a contract of intent.
A contract of intent is also a contract, isn't it?
"Could it be that they were sold to Japan and South Korea in East Asia?" someone guessed, and immediately shook his head.
South Korea and Japan, that is the first line of defense against China and the Soviet Union, the equipment must definitely be the most advanced fighters, otherwise it will really start a war with the Soviet Union, what can these fighters do?
"Taiwan?" said someone happily, "it is a very good idea to let the Chinese Air Force use its own produced fighters against the Chinese Air Force in the territory that Chinese has not recovered! If the Chinese top brass were to know about it, I wonder how wonderful their expressions would be." ”
When the United States established diplomatic relations with China, President Nixon signed the Sino-US Joint Communiqué with China in 1972, in which the United States recognized that there is only one China and that Taiwan is a part of China, and confirmed the ultimate goal of withdrawing all US armed forces and military facilities from the Taiwan region.
Although the United States does not want to recognize one China, and even disregards China's opposition to selling weapons and equipping the troops on the island, so as to make it more difficult for the mainland to recover the island, on the surface, they still believe that Taiwan is part of China.
Taiwan obviously does not want to be recovered, so it has always tried in every possible way to equip it with stronger weapons and has been constantly purchasing advanced weapons and equipment from all over the world.
Selling fighter planes produced in Chinese mainland to Taiwan is definitely a place for the United States to watch the excitement with a small bench and melon seeds, especially to enjoy the wonderful expressions of the Chinese military top brass who are so angry that they vomit blood.
"That's not possible, unless we're ready to restore diplomatic relations with China." Capers shook his head.
The excitement of the crowd also came to an abrupt end.
It is absolutely a great event to really transfer Chinese fighters to areas that China has not recovered.
"Who are you going to sell to?" even President Reagan was curious.
Obviously, Capers is ready to sell these fighters.
The United States does not need so many, and it is impossible to equip too much, even if it is used to simulate the Soviet Air Force as an imaginary enemy, 15 aircraft is enough, and the research needs a maximum of five planes.
So, at least 80 of them have to be sold.
The average small country simply cannot support such a huge purchase of fighters.
At the same time, you have to increase the price.
"Not only do we have to sell it and recoup our costs, but at the same time, we have to disgust the Chinese, don't they want to blackmail us? Capers looked mysterious.
Still don't say who to sell to.
"Sell it to whom?"
Everyone was in a hurry, eager to open Capers's mouth, or knock his head open to know the answer.
If you want to disgust the Chinese again, you have to sell to powerful countries, and what other country around China has a bad relationship with China but has a good relationship with the United States, and can afford to spend more than a billion dollars on purchases?
Singapore?
That's too far from China.
Thailand?
Thailand has always had good relations with China, even though the United States has a military base in Thailand.
Pakistan?
From the time of the Third Indo-Pakistani War, in order to win over India, which had been in the arms of the Soviet Union, the Americans quickly abandoned what they had always called their best friend in Asia.
Pakistan, which has always been determined to follow the United States, was delayed by the US military in various names before the war and temporarily withheld weapons and equipment that should be delivered quickly, while India received a large number of advanced Soviet fighters, and India obtained air supremacy at the beginning of the war.
What's more, China's Super 7A project has Pakistani investment?
Unless it is given to Pakistan in vain.
"India!" Alex said with a smile as everyone's curiosity was completely aroused. "Selling to this country, which has always been at odds with China, but does not have its own fighter production and design capabilities, can not only make China suffer a dark loss, but also give Pakistan a warning. ”
The crowd felt that there was not enough brains.
Thinking about any country in the world, no one thought that the defense minister wanted to sell fighter planes from China to India.
Will India want it?
India was taught a lesson by China back then, and it has always been haunted by it.
What's more, India has always purchased Soviet equipment.
"It's not possible. Even if it is sold to South Korea and Japan, it is an easy thing, and India is not possible. Admiral Faircon felt that Capers was joking.
The head of the Asia Strategic Analysis team is simply an idiot.
Sell to India?
It doesn't have to be given away for nothing.
"Nothing is impossible. The reason why India was chosen to change hands is because this can maximize the benefits of these fighters, and the Indians have many reasons to accept this fighter. Capers said lightly.
He was pleased with the surprised expressions on the faces of these people.
Just like the shock he heard when Alex told him that he was selling to India.
No one can think of it, so as to achieve unexpected results.
Capers did not explain, this kind of thing, he does not need a secretary of defense to explain.
Alex looked at the crowd and said, "First, India has always regarded China as their enemy, and after the Sino-Indian War in '62, especially after the Third Indo-Pakistani War in '71, India regarded China as its biggest enemy...... If this will be the main fighter of the Chinese Air Force in the future......"
On this reason, no one can raise objections.
Just as they had to get China's Super -7A after seeing the bloodline relationship between the Super 7A and the MiG-29, plus the Chinese-made fighter that was similar in appearance to the MiG 1.44, a new generation fighter being developed by the Soviet Union.
Only by understanding the enemy's equipment and then adopting targeted equipment and combat methods can it be easier to win.
This is what the Chinese have taught the whole world in the art of war, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and being invincible.
"Second, the Pakistan Air Force is jointly developed with China, and even if China does not equip this kind of fighter, Pakistan will equip it. The Indians have one more reason that they can't refuse......"
"Third, India seeks to purchase a larger number of MiG-29s, and the Soviets not only have to pay a very high price, but also have a lot of additional conditions, and even force the Indians to drink alcohol during the negotiation process, which makes India very unhappy......"
"Fourth, this fighter has a great similarity with the MiG series fighters that India has been using, and India can take this opportunity to increase its bargaining chips with the Soviet Union. At the same time, for us, it is also possible to prevent the USSR from getting more money from India......"
"Fifth ......"
Alex listed a total of eight reasons why India could not refuse, and as the head of the Asian Strategic Studies Department, he knew the situation in Asian countries very clearly.
India really has no reason to refuse to receive these fighters.
The Americans have been delaying the delivery of the F-16s ordered by Pakistan from the United States until now, that is, to prevent the Indians from purchasing more fighters from the Soviet Union.
At the same time, India is also in contact with companies such as the French company Soda and El Al Airlines, hoping to obtain advanced fighter jets and even production technology......
"And for very good reason, Colonel Alex, India has never had very good relations with us, even if we have delayed supplying F-16s to Pakistan. ”
"The Indians want our F-16......" said John Otto, who had been silent, "we can't come directly to this matter, we can go through Israel." ”
All along, Israel has been supported by the United States.
Without the support of the United States, Israel would have been destroyed again by the Arab countries.
This is indeed the case with everyone.
How good it would be to sell fighter planes designed and produced by China to India, and then let them use such fighter planes to provoke China and Pakistan.
"Aren't we going to study this kind of fighter of the Chinese? We can completely sell the technology we have researched to the Indians, don't the Chinese like to steal the technology of the world? We also let them taste the taste of their own technology being stolen by the enemy!"
"That's a good offer. Not only can it sell fighter jets, but it can also help the Indians speed up the development of their Tejas fighter program. ”
A bunch of high-level U.S. executives are getting more and more excited.
What a wonderful thing.
How good is it that the United States can study the fighter technology of China and the Soviet Union, and someone can provide research funds?
As a result, the original discussion plan changed.
They began to discuss how to better help the Indians upgrade the Sino-Pakistani fighter jet and then crush the original design of China and Pakistan......
In fact, no one brought it up, so that the US government and the Ministry of Defense would no longer have to be pressured by the major military production teams in China.
"Just do it, get in touch with the Indians first, and if they are willing to accept these fighters and accept our help to upgrade the technology, sign a formal contract with Chinese......" Even Admiral Fercom thinks that this thing can definitely be done.
As long as it can get the technology, and it is closely related to the MiG series technology that they are equipped with in large quantities, as long as they digest this fighter made in China, India can even upgrade the MiG fighter that is already backward in their country......
Alex breathed a sigh of relief to see that no one objected anymore.
They can't get back the anger they received in China now, so they let the Indians help find trouble with China.
He is very much looking forward to what kind of performance the Chinese will have when they know that the fighter technology they have painstakingly developed has been stolen by the Indians.
"John, you're in charge of this. Also, Mr. Secretary, I have to take you on a trip to Israel......" President Reagan said excitedly.
