Chapter 455: This is the profiteer
"Your presence is very welcome." The first stop of the inspection was Dassault, and it was not the first time that everyone came, and the person in charge of the reception was still Dassault's overseas sales director Boileau, with a kind of French arrogance on his face.
After receiving everyone, they went directly to the Dassault factory, and they could see that the production line in the factory was producing the latest Mirage 2000 fighter aircraft at full speed, and after the next order from India, their production could continue for several years, which greatly increased their confidence.
"Our aircraft has now been improved to the latest RDM radar." Boileau said: "In addition to air combat, this kind of radar also has a good ground attack capability. ”
Hearing the other party's words, General Lin's face became gloomy, the meaning of the other party's words is obvious, is it showing off this kind of fighter plane purchased by India, is it a huge threat to his side?
His face was cold, and at the same time disdainful, if he wanted to scare us with this, it would be a big mistake, we have been threatened for decades, our backs have always been straight, we are not afraid of the threat of nuclear bombs, will we be afraid of this kind of plane of yours?
"Therefore, the price of this fighter should be slightly increased, and the inflation in the past two years has also been very strong." Boileau continued.
Hearing his words, General Lin finally understood, this guy turned out to continue to ask for a price, the French, really a profiteer.
Their single-engine medium-sized machine, the price has caught up with the American twin-engine heavy machine, this is not enough, now looking at their own eyes to come, interested in ordering, actually continue to add money?
"This kind of radar can perfectly guide the medium-range Mika missile for over-the-horizon attacks, which is what you need the most." Boileau continued to introduce to everyone, but no one listened, everyone originally thought that the price of the Phantom 2000 was quite high, this time, but the superiors gritted their teeth and tightened their belts, so they decided to buy a few tests first, and what about the other party? It seems that he is sure that he will definitely buy it, so he asks for the price again!
It's too much, it's really too much for the other party to do this! General Lin's heart was quite angry.
"We are also developing an updated RDY radar, which will give the fighter the ability to deal with multiple targets at the same time, and in terms of air combat interception, it is not inferior to the combination of AWG-9 and the Immortal."
The boast of the other party is getting more and more powerful, the immortal bird, the range is more than 100 kilometers, this is a real range, and what about the Mika missile?
They claim that the maximum range is 50 kilometers, but in fact, the effective range of this missile is not even 30 kilometers, that is, it is just enough to reach the edge of the over-the-horizon range, and its performance is not even comparable to that of the Sparrow missile.
However, after thinking about it, you can understand that the introduction of fighters is a systematic project, the introduction of fighters is not enough, but also the introduction of spare parts, but also the introduction of backup missiles, especially missiles, must be introduced in a batch, stockpiled, so that it can be consumed when fighting, at the same time, there is no qualified medium-range missile in China, if the other party's missiles are introduced, they may also be equipped on other fighters, so that a series can be formed, the demand is very large, and the other party wants to export missiles, Keep making more money.
The French, sure enough, will make money.
This day's investigation ended quickly, and at the end, Mr. Gu cautiously made a request to the other party to purchase a fly-by-wire control system, and sure enough, the other party's asking price made Mr. Gu squirt out a mouthful of blood, the price of a set of systems, just catch up with the cost of an airplane, and people still don't export the source code, hand it over to others to debug, write programs, in this way, nothing can be learned.
In this case, everyone left France the next day, and this time the purchase that had been in high spirits was poured with cold water.
"The French, they are really arrogant!" The first stop of the investigation is France, after all, the Mirage 2000 fighter has been inspected many times by the Air Force, and it is almost the most suitable choice.
However, this time, everyone came with such sincerity and got such a result, and no one felt good.
"The French are sure that we will buy it." Qin Feng said: "If we win the scheme, then they may continue to find a way to raise the price, we can't do this." ”
"yes." General Lin said: "Capitalism is all mercenary, we can't be this fish and meat, except for France, we have other objects of investigation, next, let's go to Italy!" ”
Regardless of the whole machine, at least in terms of medium-range air-to-air missiles, we must first find a more suitable seller, so we have to go to Italy to investigate!
Although Italy does not sound as famous as other countries, it still has its unique advantages in terms of defense, and everyone has been planning for a long time.
"Lao Gu, don't worry, since it's all out, let's take a look." Seeing that Mr. Gu was unhappy, General Lin said: "After going to Italy, let's go to Germany, there must be a way to control the fly-by-wire system." ”
Mr. Gu nodded.
Italy, located in the Apennine Peninsula, where the huge Roman Empire was born, is the proudest era of Italy, at the same time, it is also the place of the Renaissance, for Qin Feng, the most attractive, is the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
At that time, on the famous Leaning Tower, the great Galileo Galilei did an experiment in which two balls fell to the ground at the same time, which broke the reasoning of Aristotle, who had ruled for many years, and the heavier fell faster than the lighter, introducing the experiment into physics, and finally entering the palace of modern technology.
Qin Feng really wanted to visit here, but after landing, he didn't have this opportunity, so he went to the Selenia Company with the entire delegation, which is a well-known Italian aerospace company, as early as the sixties, began to make achievements in the field of missiles, fire control radar, and even earth satellites, have deep research.
Unlike the arrogant French, the Italians are warm and unrestrained, and their welcome to the Chinese guests is quite warm, right in the lobby of the hotel, everyone sits together, and then, everyone smells the fragrance, the most famous spaghetti!
In China, noodles are not a food that is elegant, but here, noodles are everyone's favorite food, otherwise Italians would not be called pasta.
