Chapter 918: Making a Big Profit
The Blue Eagle 1 anti-submarine fixed-wing aircraft, the Sea Falcon-1 anti-submarine helicopter, the Unicorn-1 heavy transport helicopter and the An-71 carrier-based early warning aircraft are the four new equipment that appeared in the mercenary regiment founding ceremony, the first two have a huge attraction to coastal countries, the third is suitable for any country, and the last is suitable for countries that have aircraft carriers or are equipping aircraft carriers.
Although everyone likes good things, not every country has to buy them, the reasons for this are both complex and simple, the equipment of the mercenary corps is high-tech, and the price excludes more than half of the countries, and there is not so much money. Doing business with mercenaries is measured in $100 million, and the average country cannot afford such an expense.
What's more, the need does not mean that the purchase is not necessarily necessary, take the two anti-submarine aircraft as examples, even the US Navy is looking at the red, compared with the P-3C Orion anti-submarine aircraft and the Sea Hawk anti-submarine helicopter they currently use, which are much more advanced in technology.
But the United States will not place orders for mercenaries, a dignified superpower, with the world's most powerful scientific and technological research and development capabilities and industrial manufacturing capabilities, can't the United States study what mercenaries have researched?
And then there is the political level, if the US Navy buys weapons from mercenaries, it will not be able to pass the congressional hurdle alone, and the domestic military manufacturing enterprises will not make a lot of noise? The president of the United States did not dare to take such a risk and offend the domestic arms giants, which would affect his throne.
There are also Japan and Indu, the former will definitely not cooperate with the mercenaries, involving the issue of the South Kuril Islands, everyone is strictly an enemy, and even if they want to buy, not only the mercenaries do not agree, but the US government is also unlikely to agree, although several weapons and equipment will not pose much threat to the US troops stationed in Japan, but nothing is much better than having it.
The latter has relatively little concern, the Asan family has a strong heart, and the spirit of perseverance is worthy of admiration, the famous Arjun tank and glorious fighter are the best examples, thirty years of sharpening a sword!
Yindu and the mercenary corps have cooperated, especially in terms of second-hand aircraft carriers, which have made the mercenaries make a lot of money, but the magical open country has a unique thinking, and it is impossible for the mercenary corps to agree.
"Shenma? The Yindu government ordered 10 Blue Eagle 1 anti-submarine fixed-wing aircraft, 20 Hai Falcon-1 anti-submarine helicopters, 50 Unicorn-1 heavy transport helicopters and 10 An-71 carrier-based early warning aircraft. Wu Chen, who was refreshed, was in a good mood, he had just fallen asleep with Meng Shuang, he was sitting in the study drinking green tea and smoking cigars!
"Boss, the other party put forward a condition, that is, only order half of the finished products for each type, and they will produce the rest by themselves, and ask us to provide relevant technology, paralyzed, just those bird companies in Yindu, can manufacture such cutting-edge weapons and equipment, I doubt it!" Marcas said.
"Where to let the representatives of Yindu go coolly, I don't worry about them getting cutting-edge technology, I'm afraid that Yindu's production enterprises will smash the golden signboard of the mercenary army, produce it themselves, and it will be fast if it can be built in ten years, this is all flying in the sky, and a fall is a big accident, I guess the speed of their construction is definitely not as fast as the speed of falling, we will not do this deal, stay away from their homes." Wu Chen said.
Mercenary weapons and equipment manufacturing is now also a shining signboard, involving trillions of dollars in benefits, the world's largest arms manufacturer, supplying half of the world's armies, and its rapid expansion has made the eyes of traditional arms exporters the United States, Russia and European countries look green. Quality is the guarantee of making money, if it is messed up by Yindu's group of open bird companies, it is absolutely unacceptable to fall so three or two in a month.
The orders for the An-71 carrier-based early warning aircraft are eight for each of the Gulf countries, Huaxia, and Russia, and four for France, Iran, Italy, Spain, Brazil, and Argentina, each with a price of $280 million, for a total of 48 orders, totaling $134.4 billion.
These belong to countries that have aircraft carriers or are equipping aircraft carriers, carrier-based early warning aircraft are naturally indispensable, and not every country can be equipped with nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, this kind of carrier-based early warning aircraft that can take off on the deck without catapults has become a necessary choice for everyone.
Although France has purchased the E2C Hawkeye early warning aircraft from the United States, after the establishment of the European independent defense system, the US government is bound to implement a technical blockade on European countries.
Blue Eagle 1 anti-submarine fixed-wing aircraft, which is a road-based anti-submarine aircraft, uses the Il-76 tactical transport aircraft as a carrier platform, can stay in the air for a long time, equipped with an active phased array radar, is a magic weapon for dealing with nuclear submarines of various countries, and is also the main component of coastal defense.
This type of anti-submarine aircraft has the highest frequency of sorties, so the value is also the most expensive, although it is impossible to find a nuclear submarine 100%, but the probability is the largest at present, after all, the mercenary corps can be compared with the United States in terms of cutting-edge technology research and development.
China, Russia, France, Germany, and Italy have 12 planes, and Spain, Brazil, Argentina, the Netherlands, Sweden, Cuba, Mexico, Venezuela, and Australia have all six planes, with a total of 138 orders, with a unit price of $380 million, and a total of $524.4 billion.
The Sea Falcon-1 anti-submarine helicopter is a conventional weapon equipped with a large number of weapons in the navy, whether it is a destroyer carrying out a separate mission, a warship formation or an aircraft carrier battle group, it must have an anti-submarine helicopter to protect its safety, and anti-submarine has always been a key target of the navy.
The Gulf countries, China, Russia, France, Germany, and Italy each had 48 aircraft, and Spain, Brazil, Argentina, the Netherlands, Sweden, Cuba, Mexico, Venezuela, and Australia had 24 aircraft, making a total of 504 aircraft with a unit price of $180 million, for a total of $90.72 billion.
Unicorn-1 heavy transport helicopter, this is a piece of equipment that Wu Chen is very optimistic about, the army and navy of the mercenary corps will be equipped in large quantities, just transport a hundred heavily armed soldiers at a time, dozens of planes can deliver a brigade-level combat team to the battlefield, and it can also improve the transportation capacity and speed of the navy.
However, Russia, a developed country and a military power such as a European country, does not need heavy transport helicopters very much, and its own helicopter technology is also among the most advanced in the world, and it also exports a large number of helicopters, so this time the Gulf countries ordered 120 planes at one time, China ordered 60 planes, and Brazil and Argentina both ordered 20 planes, a total of 200 planes, according to 1.6 billion US dollars each, a total of 32 billion US dollars.
