Chapter 1220 Exhibition IX
All the words of dare are, all of them are paving the way for the last sentence, Marcus couldn't help but smile, but he was relieved in his heart, the dissatisfaction of Shenma military industrial enterprises, the security threat brought to the United States by Shenma's weapons and equipment transactions, and Shenma are all floating clouds!
The JSF Joint Strike Fighter Project led by the US Government is known as the world's largest fifth-generation fighter replacement project and the largest fighter program of NATO military organizations, and its influence is very huge.
At present, all the main fighters of the US armed forces, especially the Air Force and Navy, such as the F-15 Eagle fighter and the F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter, must be phased out and mothballed, and the main force will be completely turned into joint strike fighters, and such an air force will be almost invincible.
The original plan was that the number of joint strike fighters procured by the US Air Force and Navy would reach 2,400, which would cost the US treasury more than $200 billion.
In addition, the United Kingdom, Italy, the Netherlands, Canada, Norway, Denmark, Australia and Turkey and other countries have also provided funds and obtained procurement rights, and the total number of aircraft will exceed 6,000 with the subsequent Japan and South Korea, and the initial investment is expected to be worth more than 600 billion US dollars.
It is a pity that the ideal is very plump and the reality is very skinny, and the US Government feels that it is a slap in the face that its joint strike fighter project has not yet taken shape, and it has spent tens of billions of dollars, but there is not a single decent finished product, which is really embarrassing to the extreme, and has also aroused the suspicion and strong dissatisfaction of the allies.
Italy, Spain, Brazil and Argentina, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands and Finland, Saudi Arabia, Britain and France, Australia, Germany and Canada have all become customers of the mercenary corps, and the total amount of transactions is said to have reached more than $300 billion, equal to half of the annual military budget of the United States!
Is there a comparison between a mercenary organization and a superpower?
However, the mercenary corps used the experts and scientific researchers of the former Soviet Union in their hands, but they insisted on making this project, and it was also produced and put into service on a large scale, and they have never heard of any failures and dangers in fighters due to technical problems.
While gritting its teeth, the presidential administration has to face the reality that if the joint strike fighter project can't be done again, all the customers will slip away, well, maybe Japan and South Korea will continue to wait, they have no second choice.
"What does Your Excellency the Minister mean is that you want us to mercenary corps to hand over the core technology of the ShieldDefender-2 fifth-generation fighter and promote the joint strike fighter project of the United States?" Marcus said with a frown.
In other words, other countries want to get the core cutting-edge technology of the fifth-generation fighter, Marcas can definitely spray each other's face, it's just an international joke, for this main fighter of the Air Force and Navy, how much did the mercenary corps pay, this project is simply a gold-swallowing beast, not to mention the money, the experts and scientific researchers of the mercenary corps, how much effort did they put in to get the current results, and they didn't sell it for any amount of money! But the problem is, it was the United States that said this!
The mercenary corps is not afraid of the United States, and no one can touch the bottom line, but the strength of the United States is here, and people have F-22 Raptor fighters in their own hands, which are no worse than the strength of the mercenary corps, and the electronic equipment is even more high-end, so this problem will become a deal.
"A full set of technology is not needed, in terms of road-based fighters, the US Air Force has its own F-22 Raptor fighter, which is no worse than your Shield Guardian-2 type, and now the most troublesome thing is the vertical take-off and landing fighter, the Shield Guardian-2 single-seat single-engine stealth supersonic vertical take-off and landing all-weather fighter developed by you, the technology is obviously much stronger than that of the United States, and the US government hopes that everyone will communicate more in this regard and exchange technology and experience with each other." The Minister of Defense shook his head and said.
You're really joking internationally, we're the United States, the United States! Do you know what that means?
The world's most powerful scientific research capabilities and industrial strength, which are the accumulation and inheritance of a hundred years, are the heritage of a superpower, and it is already a shame to be able to pull down your face and ask the mercenary army for a technology, which is not yet a complete technology, what do you think of the United States?
The U.S. government will not take advantage of you in vain, everyone knows that it wants to take advantage of mercenaries, it is wishful thinking! The U.S. government has dollars, some resources, and from the technical exchanges, your scientific research experts can also get more inspiration and solve many technical problems, and can also dispel the suspicion of the presidential office.
"Mr. Minister, this technology is nothing to the U.S. government, but you also know what it means to mercenaries, this is the most core cutting-edge technology at present, after two years of practice, it has tended to mature stage, I need a good excuse." Marcus is also the Lord who does not see the rabbit and does not scatter the eagle.
"Mr. Marcas, aren't you mercenaries getting enough out of the hands of the U.S. government and the Department of Defense? If calculated according to the foreign price of the US government, the value of these weapons and equipment will be trillions of dollars, right? ”
"The presidential office is also very difficult, some congressmen in the United States have publicly criticized the US government for giving too much to the mercenaries, but the actual return is very little, and Mr. President also needs the mercenaries to understand his difficulties."
"At present, the Golden Triangle Federation and the United States have become strategic partners with interests bundled, and they are worried that they will lack benefits in the future. The Minister of Defense said with a smile.
Mercenaries habitually ask for benefits, which is completely expected by the US government, and it is not a pipe dream to let mercenaries work for nothing without getting paid? But this time, the U.S. government doesn't want to continue to get used to the mercenary corps, and we don't care how you get along with others, so we just want to see if this superpower that has been supported will listen to itself.
"But Mr. Minister forgot one thing, I would never say such a thing in another time period, but as soon as I became the chief executive, I had to use the core interests of the mercenary corps, and I have always had a relationship with the United States, you want me to be the chief executive, right?" Marcus said slowly.
The U.S. government is deliberately trying to use threats to test how much energy the mercenary team can rebound, and Marcas knows better than anyone that the other party doesn't care about some pay, but it needs absolute control over the mercenary.
At this stage, the mercenary corps must not go head-to-head with the US government, this is the principle formulated by Wu Chen, Marcas is full of heart, of course he will not do anything irrational, and he will throw the problem to the US government with a roll of his eyes.
