Chapter 878: A Contest in the Details

[Unmodified Version]

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Vincent shrugged his shoulders a little embarrassed and said, "Okay, Jiang, what you said makes sense. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info but I think my smile seems to have never been lacking, proving that our decision was sincere. Okay, let's not waste all of this on that, let's get started. ”

Oh, Mr. Vincent, then do as you wish. Jiang Chen said with a smile: "Then we are very happy to be able to contact and negotiate with Grum Company to discuss the possibility of cooperation with this fighter." We have an understanding of your company and the f_14 Tomcat fighter you manufacture, the company is very powerful, and the f_14 Tomcat fighter is also a very good fighter in the world. Although we have only just started to contact on the spot, we are very interested in your company and the f_14 Tomcat fighter you have produced, and we hope that this meeting will make the progress that we both want to see. ”

Yes, Jiang, we are also looking forward to this meeting, and we have been waiting for more than a week, if we say that we have been waiting for eight years since we first came into contact with you. Vincent looked at Jiang Chen and said, "I believe that you have already understood the relevant information of our company, so I won't repeat it." But I would like to emphasize that our company is much stronger than you think, and it is also a well-known arms manufacturer in the world, and has an independent R&D and production system, so we are very confident in our company's products. Of course, this is also what our company has always insisted on, that is, to provide the best products to our customers, which is also the credibility of our company, it is the soul of our company. In fact, as early as eight years ago, we advocated cooperation with you on relevant weapons and equipment. You should know the kind of environment at that time, and we were able to put forward this idea and put it into practice, which was actually a big risk, and we were also the first group of 'red factions' who advocated reaching out to you (the people in the old American diplomatic think tank who advocated reaching out to us were called 'red factions'). We've been working on this for eight years, and we've made progress. It's just that we didn't expect that you would abandon us, a partner who has long shown goodwill to you, and turn to other countries and companies. ”

For Vincent to say so much, in fact, Jiang Chen didn't feel how moved, because this is nothing more than business cooperation and commercial interests, not as great as he said. In this regard, Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "Mr. Vincent, I'm sorry, although you have made a lot of efforts in this regard, what I want to tell you is that this is an arms trade, and we can't just face you. This is not in the rules of the business game, nor is it in our interest. And this global tender is imperative, and we treat everyone equally. Of course, if your weaponry and your conditions really impress us, we don't mind giving you priority. ”

Well, Jiang, I am sure that our sincerity and our weapons and equipment will impress you. Vincent was obviously a little helpless, but he continued: "This time we recommend to you our company's main f_14 Tomcat fighter, but I prefer to call it a panda, hoping that it can really settle down in your country." The fighter is a two-seater supersonic multi-role heavy fighter capable of performing a variety of complex missions, including defense, alert, interception, strike, and reconnaissance. The aircraft adopts the most advanced and only variable swept wing starting shape in the world, and with the addition of two of our latest TF30-P-414A afterburner turbofan engines, a single afterburner thrust of 9490 kg, can enable the fighter to easily cross the sound barrier and achieve supersonic flight. The oversized fuel tank allows it to store more fuel, allowing it to have a combat radius of 1,200 kilometers and a transit range of 3,000 kilometers. If it is equipped with auxiliary fuel tanks, it can extend its combat radius by 300 kilometers to 1,500 kilometers, which is more than enough for you.

And with a climb speed of up to 152 meters per second, it has a maximum practical ceiling of 19,000 kilometers, which allows you to deal with almost all aircraft and missiles in the world, and you can easily gain an advantage. The fighter is equipped with our state-of-the-art pulse Doppler radar. Depending on the size of the target, it can intercept air targets within 120 to 315 kilometers, simultaneously track 24 targets from ultra-low altitude to 30,000 meters above sea altitude and at different distances, and give priority to attacking six of the most threatening targets. The fighter can be equipped with up to six AIM-7 air-to-air missiles, or four AIM-54 air-to-air missiles, and if a ground strike is required, it can also be equipped with four GBU-16 laser-guided bombs. And we have also equipped it with an M61A1 "Vulcan" 20mm six-barreled cannon, with up to 700 rounds of ammunition, which can fully meet the needs of fighters in hand-to-hand combat, which is also in line with the current combat driving of your air force, I believe you will like it. So Jiang, I've said so much, I don't know what you think. ”

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, looked at Vincent who was drinking coffee, and said, "Mr. Vincent, after hearing you say so much, I have a few questions, I hope you can help me answer them." ”

Oh, you say. Vincent put down his coffee and smiled at Jiang Chen.

That's the case, Jiang Chen picked up the notes on the table and said to Vincent: "I know from what you just said that what you are providing us with is a f_14 fighter, not the F-14B fighter that you just put into production last year, or the F-14C/D fighter that you are developing and improving. ”

Hearing Jiang Chen's question, Vincent was a little surprised, and then hurriedly said to Jiang Chen: "No, Jiang, we think that the f_14a fighter has been able to meet your needs, as for the F-14C/D fighter you said is being developed, we think that it is impossible to succeed without three or four years, which is not suitable for you who are in short supply of aircraft." As for the F-14B, you know it only went into production last year, and we can't guarantee that you will be able to convince the government to approve it. In addition, we can assure you that the f_14a fighter we produce for you is not much different from the F-14B, and the performance will be very close, so don't worry. ”

Oh, is it? Jiang Chen smiled and said to Vincent, "For example, can you upgrade and improve the radar, avionics, and missile payload capacity, or can you change the TF30-P-414A engine you just said to your latest F110-GE-400 engine?" ”

Hearing Jiang Chen's question, the smile on Vincent's face suddenly froze. And the companions next to him also began to communicate in a low voice, judging from their demeanor, they obviously didn't expect that Jiang Chen would understand so carefully. And Director Yuan and Deputy Director Song didn't expect that Jiang Chen's performance would be so good. However, while being surprised, he was also a little puzzled, how did Jiang Chen know so much detailed data. The scene was at an impasse for a while, Vincent and the others didn't know how to answer, and Jiang Chen didn't make a sound, but sat there enjoying the scenery while quietly waiting for the next step.
