"Pay the full amount first? Are you kidding?" What the Americans did not expect was that as soon as they offered to purchase the Super-7A developed by this unit that they did not know where in China, the Chinese made a request.

Jonathan, who had been irritable because of all kinds of troubles, suddenly roared.

The Chinese are so shameless!

Even Capers felt that the other party did not understand the international arms trade, and looked at Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan, who were accompanying them.

Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan had long understood the urine nature of the 404 gang of people who wanted money, and they threw a faint smile at the US Secretary of Defense in surprise.

So angry that Capers almost vomited blood.

Alex also felt that the Chinese were joking, looked at Xie Kai, and looked mocking, "Sir, do you think we have to buy your fighters?"

Xie Kai didn't care about the other party's ridicule, "Mr. Colonel, our request has not been finished. Not only must we pay for the goods first, but in order for us not to lose money, we must sell at least 100 ......"

"Dream!" Jonathan erupted.

The smile on Alex's face was even better, in his eyes, Xie Kai was a complete fool, a tease who was found by the other party to adjust the atmosphere.

Capers couldn't sit still, and looked at Long Yaohua and them, hoping to get a satisfactory answer, "Two, we are preparing to purchase with sincerity. ”

Whether the Americans have the sincerity to purchase, Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan don't know.

But Xie Kai made such a request, which caught them all off guard.

It is understandable to raise this issue for Iraq and other countries that do not have any military industrial production capacity, are at war, and are in urgent need of equipment.

After all, if you get the money first, the interest generated every year is a huge amount of money.

But it's the Americans on the other side!

The Americans are not in dire need of Chinese fighters, or even, if they want them.

Such a good opportunity, doesn't Xie Kai know?

Zheng Yucheng and Wang Guilin did not stop them, didn't they know that the reputation and advertising effect earned by selling fighter planes to the United States were far more effective than getting more profits?

"Your Excellency, they run their own business...... Our reform and opening up is to learn from Western countries, guided by market demand, and when there is no danger to the country's development and security, it is not easy for the higher-level authorities to interfere too much. Although he didn't understand, in the face of the Americans' doubts, Li Mingshan still unswervingly pushed back.

For a moment, Cappers's face turned pale.

Western countries have always accused China of not having a market, but now they are being given a market economy that is in accordance with the market economy, and the government cannot interfere too much.

Alex was eager to ask, why did he recognize the higher authorities again?

When I asked before, I said that I had to find the relevant department......

But they really can't refute Li Mingshan's words.

Western countries accuse China of not having a market, but now they follow the rules of the market, and buyers and sellers must reach an agreement in order to cooperate successfully, what can they do?

If the supplier's requirements cannot be met, look for another supplier.

But at this time, where to find other suppliers?

Is it to let the Soviet Union sell the most advanced fighter planes to the United States, let the United States understand the performance of their fighters, and at the same time simulate the combat style of the Soviet army to train the American army?

"Yes, Your Excellency Minister, isn't this the rule of the market?" Long Yaohua was about to laugh out loud.

It's so marketable!

"Aren't we sincere?" Xie Kai was dissatisfied, "Your Excellency Minister, we don't set different additional conditions and set different prices for this fighter because of who the buyer is. In full accordance with the rules of the market, with no political conditions attached, and no restrictions on transfers to third countries......"

Xie Kai's words made the Americans even more unable to sit still.

Isn't this a roundabout scolding the United States for all kinds of additional conditions for selling equipment, and its attitude is still arrogant?

"This is originally our most advanced fighter in China, and now the Sino-US relations are harmonious and there is a lot of technical cooperation, so we are willing to sell it, otherwise, it is impossible to sell it just by leaking national defense technology and threatening national defense security!" Zheng Yucheng added.

Isn't the advanced technology of the Americans all used this as an excuse?

At every turn, someone else buys it back, which will leak their technology and endanger the national security of the United States.

Actually?

Just to get more benefits.

Long Yaohua didn't know what Zheng Yucheng wanted to do, and it was hard to say anything at this time.

Can only listen to it from the side.

"Do you think we have to buy your fighters?" or is there no other country in the world that can provide fighters?" Jonathan never expected that they would come to sell fighters to China, but instead the Chinese side stuffed a bunch of fighters.

Hundreds of planes are bought back, won't it squeeze out the order share of several major military production enterprises with fierce domestic competition?

"Mr. Colonel, we don't feel that way. After all, we need to weigh the cost, and this fighter was originally only partially introduced by Egypt, and the R&D investment exceeded a billion dollars...... Our Air Force is underfunded, and the cost is already high...... After all, one is only $14 million......" Xie Kai said the price.

Unexpectedly, this made Americans feel that they were excessive.

"Why are these fighters so expensive? You sold them to Egypt for only $10 million a plane!" Alex was furious.

They also said they don't ask for different prices depending on the customer.

Is the U.S. government wronged?

"Colonel, when we sold to Egypt, we didn't expect the cost to rise so much. In recent years, China's economy has developed rapidly, and prices have risen rapidly...... At the same time, the price of engines on the Soviet side doubled...... After all, this is an engine from the Soviet Union, and it uses exactly the same engine as the MiG-29, and if we know that it is sold to your country, it will be more difficult for us to obtain ...... in the future," Xie Kai revealed the news to the Americans.

Sure enough, as soon as they heard that it was said that it was the same engine as the MiG-29, the Americans began to make eye contact.

"The reason for this request is also something that cannot be helped, we only have 200 RD-33 engines, and many of the performance of the entire fighter is comparable to that of the MiG-29......"

"In addition, although this is only a light fighter, but our primary positioning, is completely designed in accordance with the trainer aircraft! The general-purpose advanced trainer aircraft, for pilots who have just had a flight foundation, whether it is the avionics system or the fire control radar, is enough to use, our design fully considers the design style of Western fighters and the design style of Soviet-style fighters...... Xie Kai began to introduce the relevant technology of the super-7A.

About the engine, it is completely fooling the Americans. But the latter one, it's really not.

The super-7A reserves the upgrade space for the installation of a four-degree fly-by-wire system, and the layout of the cockpit is not only designed according to the domestic basis obtained from the Soviet fighters, but even refers to the design of the F-14 cockpit obtained from the 404 base.

Although the Super 7A was made out of chaos, it fused a lot of things, and it was originally just sold to small countries that were accustomed to Western fighters and operating habits.

I didn't expect it to be used to fool the Americans now!

Americans have absolutely nothing to do about such a situation.

I didn't see the real thing, but the more I knew, the more I wanted to get it.

Most likely, the Soviets helped to get it.

Either?

Not either?

For a while, the Americans were embarrassed and couldn't talk about it, so they had to go home first.

Now that relations between China and the Soviet Union are beginning to gradually return to normal, the Americans are not unaware.

So what?

It is also a sovereign country and a big country.

A great power that the United States must co-opt and help share the pressure on the Soviet Union.

You can't ask China, you are not allowed to have good relations with the Soviet Union, are you?

Now that the Chinese are bent on making a small amount of money, they are all throwing aside national defense construction, and the United States can only do it on the side, isn't it?

If China desperately expands its military strength, the Soviet Union will naturally not dare to withdraw those elite troops on the border. As far as the US government is concerned, what is most in their interests is for China to fight with the Soviet Union, and then the United States desperately sells weapons to China and supports them in fighting the Soviet Union.

However, one can only think about it.

At present, China only wants to make a small amount of money, to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people of the whole country, to get rich, to become well-off, and not to go to war......

As for the war still going on on the southwestern border?

Is that called war?

At best, the two sides can be regarded as a confrontation, and the Chinese army goes to train in batches every once in a while, and there is not much waste of bullets and shells on both sides!

"They're retaliating! Retaliating against Project 82, we are asking the Chinese side to pay the cost in advance!" Alex said with certainty after coming down.

At the beginning, when the United States and China cooperated in the 82 project to improve China's J-8 fighter because China's military spending was too small and foreign exchange was even more scarce, the Americans did not have any interest at first.

China is too petty, and from the beginning it wanted the Americans to help with the design or something.

In the end, the United States demanded that a certain amount must be reached!

As a result, after several rounds of negotiations, China finally reluctantly signed a contract with the United States to improve 50 J-8IIs, each avionics system and fire control radar system for 10 million US dollars, China purchased a total of 55 sets, including five sets of spare, with a total contract value of 550 million US dollars.

No one could have imagined that now the Chinese side will demand the United States in turn......

"We have to see their fighter planes in fact first and understand the specific situation!" Jonathan now began to worry.

As a strategic analysis department, no one wants to see China's military technology surpass their grasp.

"Yes, you can take this opportunity to thoroughly understand the level of aviation manufacturing in China. We must comprehensively reassess China's technological level and limit our technology exports to China!" Alex echoed Jonathan's statement.

Jonathan has selfish intentions, and Alex is acting for the good of the United States of America.

"If that's the case, do you really buy 100 from China? What are these fighters that can't be used in combat for?" asked the two men.

"It's worth spending more than a billion dollars for national security!" Alex said firmly, "understand clearly, we can sell these fighters to the Indians, or to those countries in the Middle East that have money and no technology!"
