Chapter 879: Compete for the initiative and press on

In the end, Vincent still broke his calm and said to Jiang Chen: "Jiang, I have to say, you have studied our company and our fighter jets very thoroughly. www.biquge.info I believe that this will help us to communicate and understand each other, and promote our cooperation to move forward. But if you know so well, you should also know that this fighter is a complex project, and there are strict controls on whose parts are used and how to upgrade. Otherwise, the components may be incompatible or malfunction. You know that in the field of military equipment, it is not the most advanced equipment that is the best, but the kind of mature equipment that has been recommended for a long time is more reliable. And your own technology and industry are relatively weak, if you bring in this immature advanced fighter to go back, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to maintain and protect it. In addition, the price of these new parts will increase significantly, and you will need to invest a lot of money in maintenance. I'm afraid that's not realistic for you as you stand. In addition, there are strict restrictions on the export of some military equipment and spare parts, and we can use these equipment, but it does not mean that you can use it. So I'm sorry that we can't accommodate you. ”

Hearing Vincent's words, Jiang Chen shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Vincent, I think you must be greeting my relatives in your heart at this moment." There is no need to be so anxious to refute, I can fully understand, at least when we first started to contact, I first greeted your relatives in my heart, so we evened out. ”

Hahahaha、、、 the people next to Vincent laughed. And Deputy Director Song here, while laughing, they were also secretly a little worried, would this Jiang Chen be a little bold and make such a joke on such an occasion.

Looking at Vincent's somewhat embarrassed expression, Jiang Chen continued: "We are negotiating with you now, and what we want to buy is the f_14b fighter that you have already started to produce equipment. As for the upgrades you mentioned, I didn't plan to ask for them. Even if we wanted it, you wouldn't be able to give it, let alone approve the export. As for the high maintenance and maintenance price you mentioned, I want to tell you that the maintenance price of your aircraft itself is already high enough, so what does it matter if it is higher. Besides, if we can spend so much money on your fighter, can't we spend a little more money on some parts to improve the performance of this fighter? As for the export control aspects that you mentioned, I believe you have a solution. As you said, your company is stronger than we thought, and I believe that such a powerful company should have your own political lobby. Sir, it's time for them to move, so much money can't be spent in vain every year. In addition, I would like to tell you the fact that we are not the only one company we are targeting, in fact, there are many countries, including your old United States, there are still three companies in the queue behind. Among them is your sworn enemy and strong competitor, the f_18 Hornet fighter from Northrop. It seems that your navy prefers this fighter, and it is said and planned to replace your f_14 fighter with this fighter. So we're also very interested in this, and want to know what kind of fighter this is, and what kind of fighter it can be said to be able to replace your advanced fighter. ”

No, Vincent retorted, "Jiang, you can't do that. Northrop's f_18 is simply not comparable to our fighters, and in many air exercises and confrontations, it has been kicked in the ass by our fighters. As for what you said about the Navy replacing us, it was entirely the result of this company's own hype, and it was advocated by a few well-connected generals. In fact, their fighter is a mess, and even I doubt that this fighter will disintegrate at any time in the air. And this fighter cannot be compared with our fighter in all aspects, whether it is in the combat radius or in the ceiling, acceleration, and the detection range of Leidan. Jiang, although there are many companies that have been attracted by you this time, I would like to say that we are definitely the most sincere. We can even sell you some of the technology you can master according to your needs, so that you can use the cheaper parts of your own country in the later maintenance of fighters and the replacement of spare parts. You know it's not just economic, it's military, it's important. It's not possible for other vendors to do this, and they won't allow you to master these technologies. Once you have purchased these fighters, you will have to choose their company for the entire maintenance and component updates of the aircraft. It's like being choked by the neck, which you know is militarily dangerous and economically disadvantageous. ”

"No, Mr. Vincent. Jiang Chen shook his head and said: "Although there is a gap between this fighter and your fighter in some performance, it is not so useless as you say." First of all, this fighter is a single-seat, twin-engine, supersonic multi-purpose combat fighter/attack aircraft that is both a fighter and an attack aircraft. Like you, it was originally designed for naval aircraft carriers, but it also has excellent performance in the road-based air force, especially the f_18l they have improved for road-based fighters, which are better than the original sea-based type in terms of overall performance. This is something that your fighters cannot match, and what you have recommended to us so far is a sea-based model that has not been specifically improved. In addition, the combat space of this fighter is relatively large, and it can be used as an air superiority fighter fighting for air supremacy, or as an attack aircraft for ground strikes, so as to achieve seamless connection, which is also very valuable in battle. ”

Seeing that Mr. Vincent's face was getting darker and darker, Jiang Chen did not stop but continued: "More importantly, the overall price of this fighter is much cheaper than your price, and the cost of follow-up maintenance is also much lower than that of your fighter. As for what you said about selling and sharing technology to us, it is only in some irrelevant secondary aspects, and you will definitely not give us the real core technology. So what's the use of these inconsequential technologies, anyway, in terms of key technologies and components, we still need to buy from you. So for us, it's just a matter of choice, and it's up to us to decide who to choose. Mr. Vincent, if you want to get our approval and get this order, then you need to be more sincere. I think we should be more pragmatic and work together, rather than just working on beautiful phrases and flowery sentences. ”
