Chapter 187: Press Conference

Regardless of the tricky questions that will arise at the press conference, it is necessary to bite the bullet now, this is an established matter, and there are many things that need to be announced at the press conference.

The hall at the press conference site is very exquisite, the British, now there is only the poor to pay attention to, and it is better to follow the local customs. After a commotion, the reporters below found their own positions, and long guns and short guns also occupied all corners of the scene, waiting for the press conference to begin.

The Briton who was in charge of the on-site order walked to the back to inform that the site had been arranged, and the Southwest Aviation Science and Industry United Company represented by Yang Hui was the main contractor of the project.

A burst of flashing lights hit immediately, but it was in a hurry, and it was in a hurry, and the main thing at the press conference was to talk about Super Annihilation Sect VII, and everything else was on the side.

"Dear friends from the press and the aviation industry, good afternoon, I am very pleased to meet you today at the Farnborough Air Show to convene this press conference, where we will announce a series of important cooperation items to deepen the traditional friendship between China and the UK."

After the applause, it was time to get to the point, and the first issue to be announced was the introduction of radar technology with Ferrenti.

"As everyone knows in the morning, our new aircraft uses the Blue Fox radar, and now what we want to announce is that our radar is not only purchased, but also technology transfer, that is, we will buy the Blue Fox radar technology."

The transfer of Blue Fox radar technology, which caused the surprise of everyone below, this radar is the main airborne radar in service with the Imperial Navy. Is it really good to sell technology?

The vice president of Ferenti stood up at this time, and it was time for him to speak: "There is nothing wrong. Our Blue Fox radar deal comes after we purchased 50 radars for this aircraft. There will be a transfer of technology, a transfer of production lines, and this has been approved by the Imperial Ministry of Defense, so don't read too much into it. ”

The reporters below have no time to interpret these news too much, and they are all writing hard, for fear of writing even one word less.

Seeing this situation, Yang Hui immediately announced that the introduction of radar will be mainly undertaken in 0780: "The introduction of radar this time is undertaken by Changhong Company, the oldest airborne fire control radar manufacturer in our country. ”

As soon as Yang Hui finished speaking, Ni Runfeng stood up and held hands tightly with the vice president of Ferenti Company to show that they attached great importance to the transfer of Blue Fox radar technology.

That's all it takes to get the radar. It's the same process again, and Marconi introduced avionics, Martin Baker purchased ejection seats, and other matters were carried out one by one. During this period, a lot of photographers' film must have been wasted, and this one can't be run.

Finally, it has come to the head of this press conference, and when it comes to the background of the Arab countries in Super Annihilation Sect VII, this is a big issue that everyone is concerned about.

"So let's talk about the Arab background of our new aircraft, and now we have two distinguished guests from Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to speak."

After grinning, Sultan said that the new aircraft project was gushing: "We in Saudi Arabia have been purchasing fighters that have been developed by other countries for decades, but in many ways they do not best meet our actual needs. So we have this epoch-making collaboration. We're going to build a fighter that's right for us in the Middle East, and it's going to be a breakthrough for a long time. ”

The sand tyrant talked about how good this new plane was and how much it met the needs of Saudi Arabia, and I don't know how disgusting these reporters were by his words. Boy. What do you mean by this is that the weapons that we, Western countries, have provided to you in the past do not meet your needs, so what else do you procure? That's too naked.

Fortunately, Madad saw the problem in time. Hurriedly interrupted Sultan's speech and gestured. He took the microphone and said.

"Of course, this training aircraft project is the most important thing to meet the needs of our Pakistan. As a united Muslim nation, we help each other, so Saudi Arabia has taken into account their needs and has also participated in the development of our new trainer aircraft, for which we in Pakistan are very grateful for their generosity. ”

Hearing Pakistan's words, everyone laughed, this is right, it turned out that Saudi Arabia participated in the research and development in order to help them get Muslim little brothers, and just now I really thought that Saudi Arabia was going to turn to the Eastern Republic in the purchase of weapons, which is really a false alarm.

At this time, there was finally a reporter below who couldn't help it, although you haven't reached the stage where the reporter asks questions, this reporter also asked boldly.

"So what is the investment ratio of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and the Republic of China in the development of this new machine, which we are more concerned about."

When it comes to the question of money, Saudi Arabia is energetic again, and Sultan is the first to answer: "I will answer this question of funds." We, the Saudi side, will provide 50 percent of the research and development costs, and Pakistan and the Red Republic will each bear the remaining 25 percent. ”

'Shhhh

This is the real tyrant, Saudi Arabia as an investor does not undertake any research and development tasks, just a high-quality buyer, which bears 50% of the research and development costs, such a country is really rare in the world, and it is really a nouveau riche.

At this time, some reporters who have a good relationship with the British mainland restructuring mechanism have already begun to make up their minds whether they can also bring Saudi Arabia to participate in the development of British fighters in the future. Saudi Arabia is also our student of the British Empire, and the current Saudi Air Force was established with the help of the British, which must be put to good use.

When these reporters did not come back to their senses, Yang Hui and Sultan exchanged a look with each other, saying that they could talk about the procurement of new machines.

Sultan was now very happy, and seeing the surprised expressions of these reporters, and the shattered glasses, he felt that he needed to add some more surprise.

Take out a copy of the contract template from your bag, hand it to the accompanying staff, and project the most important purchase quantity of the template onto the screen next to it.

"As you can see now, after some consideration, our Saudi side decided to purchase the first batch of 30 Super J-7 combat trainer aircraft for pilot training, tactical deduction, and border patrols. We purchased these 30 fighters at a cost price of 4 million US dollars, a total purchase amount of 120 million, and if the performance is good, we will have a follow-up purchase order for a total of 70 fighters. ”

Although everyone expected the purchase of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, Saudi Arabia announced the purchase quantity at this time, which still surprised everyone. The first batch of orders for 30 aircraft, not to mention the intention of at least 70 aircraft.

The order for a total of 100 aircraft is definitely not only used for pilot training, I am afraid that it will be used more for regular border patrols, these posts are carried by this super Jianjiao VII, and it is inevitable that the fighter market in Western countries will be topped down, and I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

But after thinking about it, it seems that now our British Empire does not have this kind of light fighter, so naturally we can't talk about exports, as long as we don't care about the British Empire, then let him be. At least the British Empire was involved in the development of this aircraft, and if this aircraft sold well, Britain also benefited.

Seeing that Saudi Arabia has announced the procurement project, Pakistan is not lagging behind, and the Madad who came to participate in the press conference this time also brought domestic purchase orders to build momentum at this air show.

Under the surprised gaze of these reporters, Madad also took out an official document from his briefcase and handed it to his entourage to withdraw the Saudi contract and project and their large order.

The projector faithfully projected Pakistan's purchase list onto a huge screen, and the reporters, as well as the staff of Marconi and Ferenti sitting on the stage, also gasped in unison.

"This Nima" (To be continued......)
