"Finding Grumman to cooperate is the best choice, but eggs must not be put in one basket, if Grumman does not cooperate with us for various reasons, we must also have another choice, Britain can be counted as one, and Israel can also be regarded as an option, they have a lot of experience in using and maintaining early warning aircraft, and defense electronics technology is also very good."

The reason why Israel is said here is entirely based on the memory of Yang Hui's previous face, and Israel can be regarded as an aviator who uses AWACS aircraft, and before the nineties, even US imperialism could not be compared with Israel.

During the long-term war, Israel has accumulated a lot of experience in the use of early warning aircraft, and on the basis of Israel's own fairly good industrial and technological capabilities, it has gone from maintaining American-made early warning aircraft to finally developing Israel's own early warning aircraft.

From the first flight of Israel's Fercom early warning aircraft in 93, we can specifically calculate the approximate project age of the Fercom early warning aircraft, as an early warning aircraft that can be compared with the E3, Israel definitely had the intention of developing an early warning aircraft in the eighties.

Now it is also an appetizer to find Israel to cooperate with small AWACS aircraft, presumably Israel will be happy to follow it, after all, a normal person will not let go of an opportunity to practice, and the possibility of cooperation is very large, and the last one dared to sell such a thing as Ferkang, let alone now.

As for Israel, the Republic knows that the reason why the country attaches importance to early warning aircraft is not unrelated to Israel's excellent use of early warning aircraft in previous wars, and in addition to the fact that it has a fairly good underground lover relationship with Israel, in the eyes of the General Staff, Israel can indeed be regarded as a spare tire.

"So very good, our AWACS project can have a good choice, it seems that all aspects are very feasible, I think this project can be approved, that is, your navy can squeeze out money?"

Again, this is a very real problem. In the eighties and nineties, any project had to mention a problem of funding, and it was really like after 2000, when you could go to several projects together, it was still just a dream.

The navy also looked sad when it heard this, and after thinking about it, it could only give one sentence: "The money is not much, our navy can give some, but the cost may not exceed 30 million." It can only be RMB, absolutely no USD! ”

The navy is called a poor ah, although the first two years and Yang Hui partnered to make a big vote, but the money was invested in the construction of Yongxin Island Airport, this year just said that it will be completed, and the money has already been spent.

Immediately afterwards, the Southwest Science and Industry launched the Jian-74 aircraft and the West-flying H-6 aircraft, and the navy is now busy making money to purchase aircraft, and can allocate 50 million people to develop new early warning aircraft. It's already pretty good.

Speaking of this, the Navy can only look at the General Staff with blank eyes, hoping that the General Staff will show mercy and give some funds for the development of new aircraft.

The General Staff Department should also take into account the benefits brought about by the successful development of this early warning aircraft, because after all, it can train a team for the development of early warning aircraft. This is also something that must be taken into account by the General Staff Officer.

After some whispering from the General Staff, a decision was finally made. I still have to give some support for this project.

"We think that this project can be launched, the conditions in all aspects are relatively mature, more reliable than the Air Police No. 1 aircraft, and we can give you some support, but don't be too happy, the money will definitely not be too much, about 20 million." It's also a name coin, no dollars! ”

Hearing this, Yang Hui understood that although the Navy and the General Staff Department gave money, it was all a name coin. I am afraid that the precious dollar is not even to think about, the sum of 70 million people is indeed a lot, these money is definitely enough for the project to be used in the domestic research and development, the only problem is to ask for foreign aid to have real dollars to work.

After grinning and finishing with a strange expression on his face, he reluctantly asked: "We are going to ask for foreign aid, it won't work without dollars, why don't you give some dollars, you really can't do things without dollars!" ”

Yang Hui's bitter gourd face did not reap any good results, the navy and the general staff did not know the family background of the Southwest Science and Industry, with various operations, obtained the right to import and export, not only did not have to hand over the national commission, but even left a few percent of foreign exchange.

I have long drooled over the foreign exchange of Southwest Science and Industry, but Yang Hui's mouth has never been very tight, except for the exchange of foreign exchange for Changhong Factory back then, he has never opened this mouth.

There is no way to dig out foreign exchange from the hands of the Southwest Science and Industry, and now there is a project that is naturally impossible to give foreign exchange, although the Southwest Science and Industry itself spends foreign exchange is also very fierce, but the Navy and the General Staff are not in the oil and salt.

In unison: "No, there is absolutely no foreign exchange, you Southwest Science and Industry will find your own way, or this project will have to be yellow, you weigh it yourself!" ”

After saying that, the two research teams who were still very concerned about the new machine made a look of love, so Yang Hui had no way to take them at all.

In desperation, he could only admit it: "Otherwise, our southwest science and industry will first give some foreign exchange and ask foreign teams to develop the aircraft, and when the development is successful, the navy must make up for this money when it is procured, whether it is a one-time supplement or a batch of supplements." ”

Yang Hui This is also a matter of no choice, you can't let the money go down the drain, no, all aspects should think about it, after the successful development of the aircraft, the navy has real items there, and it must be paid!

At this time, it was the turn of the General Staff to look at the Navy with various glances, indicating that the Navy could agree to this condition, and that the state had invested little in military scientific research equipment in recent years. On the one hand, it is because there is really no money, and on the other hand, it is afraid that all kinds of fishing projects that cannot be taken out after investing money can be obtained, as long as they can come up with real things, the state is still relatively supportive.

In particular, the AWACS aircraft will definitely be interesting, and the Navy certainly knows this, and when the time comes, it will always be possible to blackmail subsidies from the state when the finished product is available, and everything will come out.

"Okay, you guys now advance some of the money first, and then our navy will make up the money when the things come out, and not only that, but we also buy it at a premium of 20 percent according to the manufacturing cost."

What he said was called an atmosphere, but Yang Hui was pouted when he heard it, what is going on! Military equipment, which is a profiteering product, is at least 30 percent premium even if it is purchased by the country, and some equipment that is not sold well for export is subsidized even more, and early warning aircraft are such things.

It is indeed 'conscience' for the Navy to give this premium, after all, the Navy is poor! After thinking about it, Yang Hui can only endure it, and the current foreshadowing is just so that there can be a team that can win the future large-scale early warning aircraft development project in the future, and eat a loss!

However, Yang Hui is not so easy to dismiss, the navy is 'bleeding', and the 20 million given by the General Staff should definitely not be, and it must be supported again.

"We in Southwest Science and Industry have won this project, but I heard that we have also done early warning aircraft projects before, and the development team of Air Police No. 1 should be able to find some more, right? I hope the General Staff can help a little! ”

The research and development team of the Air Police No. 1 has solved a lot of problems in the development of the Air Police No. 1, at least in the modification of the early warning aircraft body, which is exactly what the Southwest Science and Industry needs.

The research team of the General Staff finally understood why Southwest Science and Industry can develop so fast, and there is such a general manager who can see the benefits of stitches, how can he not do nothing! Flourishing development is the most normal.

Shaking his head helplessly, he could only agree to this request that was not too excessive: "It's really yours, you can always think of various ways to get benefits, so let's do it, our general staff doesn't give much money, but try to help you coordinate." At that time, the 603 Institute (Xifei) was responsible for the development of Air Police No. 1, and now those older generations have retired for a year or two, and they can still be rehired. ”

Although the technical staff have retired, it is still not long, and the re-employment can still be used, Yang Hui nodded and said that it was acceptable.

This is the completion of the entire early warning patrol aircraft project, and the navy is full of joy: "Then it is decided, you can start the project preparations, and the time must be fast." (To be continued.) )
