Chapter 952: We're going to have a F_16, we've succeeded
It has been a while since Jiang Chen left the capital, and although he has been very busy during this time, he has been paying attention to the situation in the direction of the capital and the progress of that project. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info is just for the sake of strategic needs and confidentiality needs, and the information that can be revealed is very limited. It's the same for Jiang Chen, although he is also a participant and foundation person of this project, but once this project is officially determined, it will have to be carried out with all its might, and Jiang Chen can no longer intervene casually. Just when Jiang Chen was about to forget about this matter because he was busy, a call came from the capital.
"What did you say, I didn't hear clearly?" Jiang Chen said with some disbelief on the phone.
"Hehe, at a young age, why are your ears bad. Well, I repeat, our project has made great progress. At present, the two sides have reached an agreement that in order to jointly deal with the security threat of the Soviet Union in the Asia-Pacific region, Laos and the United States have agreed to provide us with 24 F16A/B fighters within two months after the agreement is reached. Among them, there are eighteen single-seat A-type aircraft, about two squadrons, and six-seat-two-seat B-type aircraft, which will jointly form a training and multi-functional combat squadron. In addition, the 24 planes were accompanied by related auxiliary missiles, spare parts, flight instructors and ground support teams. These people will come to China to help train and teach our pilots and logistics support personnel, as well as advanced training methods and tactics for these new fighters. And the first batch of six planes will arrive in Jinmen within half a month. Deputy Director Song's laughing voice came from the phone.
"Great, I made it, I really made it. Jiang Chen shouted excitedly.
Immediately, Deputy Director Song's laughing and scolding voice came from the phone: "What are you doing so loudly, my eardrum almost burst." Also, what is your success, this is the credit of our whole team, young people need to know how to be humble. ā
"Yes, yes, you're right, I accept criticism. Jiang Chen realized that he had just lost his temper, so he hurriedly responded with a smile.
"Well, but you did play a big part in it. Even when we were negotiating, the American personnel asked you where you had been, and the chief in charge of the project praised you a lot. Deputy Director Song said with a smile.
"Hehe, this is what I should do, chief, and what about our follow-up plan. Jiang Chen hurriedly asked.
"Look at your little monkey eagerness. Deputy Director Song scolded with a smile: "This project is still in progress, but you are also a member of the working group, so it doesn't hurt to tell you, you should pay attention to confidentiality." ā
"Ah, forget it, the phone is not secure, or you might as well stop talking about it. Jiang Chen hurriedly cried with a sad face.
"Go, you kid. Let me tell you, this matter has spread on a small scale, and everything that should be known is almost known. Those dogs have more noses than us, which is why we were able to reach an agreement so quickly. Deputy Director Song explained.
"Oh, it leaked out so quickly, it seems that my Uncle Yu is not doing their job well, I have to call him another day. Jiang Chen played the treasure road.
Deputy Director Song rolled his eyes and said angrily: "It's not our problem, it's Lao Mei's own problem." That's one reason why they're so happy. It is to urgently provide us with equipment to deal with the response from the north. ā
"I see. Jiang Chen nodded and said, "According to what you say, there is already a move in the north, did you send the Tu-22 to the Far East?"
Deputy Director Song shook his head and said: "It's even more serious than this, they not only sent the Tu-22 to the Far East, but also reinforced the two Su-27 flight regiments that had just been commissioned to the Far East. The station of one of the sections is only thirty or forty kilometers away from our border, and it only takes a few minutes to reach our territory after taking off, and the threat is very great. Recently, they have also stepped up their flight raids and even crossed the border on several occasions. In addition, the conflict between South Korea and the Japanese and the old American forces on the other side and the north has become more and more intense, and I am afraid that there have been several confrontations. Therefore, taking these factors into account, Lao Mei made a lot of concessions in the negotiations with us, so that the project could be passed so quickly and implemented immediately. ā
"I say, but we have to be cautious in this regard, don't be fooled by the old beauty. Jiang Chen said suddenly.
"Haha, you just put your heart in your stomach, it's more thoughtful than you. Deputy Director Song smiled and said, "You must know that these fighters were originally given to us for free, but in order to refuse some of their conditions and requirements, we insisted on payment." However, because of these recent emergencies, the prices of these second-hand fighters will be very cheap, far lower than our original expectations. ā
"Really, how low can it be to make you so happy. Jiang Chen said curiously.
"I won't talk about the specific price, we have an agreement with others. Anyway, it's very low, about half to two-thirds of what we expected. Deputy Director Song couldn't help but reveal a rough figure to Jiang Chen.
And Jiang Chen pouted after pausing: "I thought it was so cheap, but it turned out to be so expensive." ā
"Stinky boy, people have to learn to be satisfied, I'm talking about the average price in terms of the parts and other expenses that are rationed. "Deputy Director Song didn't have a good air.
"Oh, that's pretty much it. Jiang Chen also smiled.
"You, okay. Deputy Director Song teased Jiang Chen for a moment, and then continued: "The two sides have reached an emergency assistance plan on the scale of a division, that is, the size of a flying wing of Lao Mei. The first of these, the F-16 fighter flight regiment, will arrive in the country within two months, while the other two are the F-15 combat flight regiment and the other F-16 fighter flight regiment. These two regiments are expected to arrive one after another within half a year. This time, they have made up their minds to raise the combat strength of our air force. ā
"That's a good thing and I'm sure we'll see results in the future. Jiang Chen nodded and said, "What about our new fighter project, how is that project." ā
Hearing Jiang Chen's question, Deputy Director Song put away his smile and said: "This project is still in progress, you know, according to the goals we set before, what we want to seek is the latest C/D model of these two fighters, so the negotiation is relatively slow." Moreover, the old United States is also cautious about our plan, and their internal arguments are also very fierce. However, as the situation in the Asia-Pacific region continues to deteriorate, I believe that the United States will soon be unable to bear the pressure and want us to relax. Moreover, the results of this cooperation between the two sides can be regarded as laying a foundation and template for the two sides to continue negotiations. With this template in place, I believe that the next negotiations will be much better. ā
"Well, it's tough. But this is also what we can think of, after all, what we want is Lao Mei's heart. Jiang Chen nodded.
The two sides were silent for a while, and Deputy Director Song opened his mouth and smiled: "Okay, I called you today, mainly to tell you that you know that you care." In addition, I want to tell you that the previous negotiation was between us and the Lao and US governments, and the next negotiation is to contact the two major manufacturers of Lao and the United States. You have experience in communicating and negotiating with businesses. So I'm afraid you'll have to take the time to come back, but the chief above has ordered your general. ā
Hearing Deputy Director Song's words, Jiang Chen nodded and said, "No problem, I will definitely be on call." ā
"Well, there's no rush in this matter, it's still a while. Now that this negotiation has just ended, there are a bunch of follow-up things to do. You finish your side first, and wait for me to inform you when the time comes. Deputy Director Song smiled.
"Understood, don't worry, I'll take care of the work at hand as soon as possible. Jiang Chen nodded and replied.
