[185] Strong five

Because he was too tired after talking all day, and he didn't get enough rest after drinking at noon, Xiaoqiang felt very tired.

Seeing that it was time for dinner, Yuan Kedi and Li Mubai, who had been busy all day, also felt tired, Yuan Kedi heard Xiaoqiang say that this procurement had been basically completed, so the three of them briefly discussed it and decided to fill their stomachs first and eat dinner.

Dinner was changed to a Cantonese restaurant, the taste was relatively light, but the dishes were very rich, and just a jar of Buddha jumping over the wall made Xiaoqiang full of praise.

The three of them all ate violently, with food in their stomachs first, and then two glasses of wine, and the fatigue of the day was relieved.

"Come, let's first thank Mr. Cao Xiaoqiang for his support to our country's national defense and military industry, come, Mu Bai, let's be together. A toast to Xiaoqiang. Yuan Kedi was in high spirits after eating something, and said to Cao Xiaoqiang with satisfaction.

Xiaoqiang hurriedly replied: "Don't dare, don't dare, it's not so much my personal support for the country's military industry, but the state's encouragement and support for our private traders." I should have a glass of good haode for the two of you. ”

As he spoke, the three of them clinked glasses and drank their wines.

After Yuan Kedi drank a few glasses, he began to inquire with the intention of drinking. After all, the conversation at the wine table is not so formal, and it will not seem too serious to inquire about things. He first asked Xiaoqiang's hometown where his hometown was, how the old man in the family was in health, and after some greetings, he changed the conversation and said:

"But Xiaoqiang, you have done a good job of secrecy, whether it is the warships, planes, guns and weapons you purchased before, even the most capable intelligence department in our country has not found out which specific country you sold to! We've dealt with each other a few times, as the saying goes, once born and twice cooked, in my eyes, I see you Xiaoqiang as a junior in my own family, well, let's put it this way, I hope you can reveal to me a little bit, which countries are your arms sales channels for? You can rest assured that the Ministry of State will never compete with you for customers. ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Kedi paused, and said with a little encouragement: "Also, Xiaoqiang, in the area of transportation channels, don't take the crooked path!" Your previous shipping seems to be very strange, huh? Hundreds of warships, all of which disappeared overnight! Which shipping company do you think you're looking for? Which tugboat company? Can you pull so many warships away overnight? Not even the radar that gave us the Navy did not detect it. None of our naval patrol lines in the open sea, including hydroacoustic buoys, were aware of the passage of such a large fleet. You do this, be careful of making mistakes. ”

Yuan Kedi's words were listened to by others, but in Xiaoqiang's ears, they rang like a big bell. The deafening and deafening suddenly dispersed Xiaoqiang's slightly smoked wine without a trace.

In Xiaoqiang's opinion, maybe as long as he keeps this harmless state of people and animals, the Ministry of State will turn a blind eye to him, adopt the three no's principle, do not encourage, do not oppose, and do not investigate.

Just when he had gradually adapted to the current rhythm that was favorable to him, Yuan Kedi's words made him realize that the Ministry of State had been staring at him.

Xiao Qiang didn't even dare to wipe the cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and hurriedly raised his wine glass again and said: "That's my friend doing me a small favor, it may be a bit against some national regulations, well, so I can't just sell my friend." I'm really embarrassed to do it here as a respectful person, and I'm sorry to give General Yuan a confession. ”

With that, Xiao Qiang tilted his neck and drank the wine in the cup dry. The heart said, the order of 12.7 billion can't stop your mouth! If this matter is to be successfully fooled today, I am afraid that there will be some more blood.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qiang didn't wait for Yuan Kedi, who was groaning, to speak. hurriedly continued: "In fact, today's 12.7 billion procurement is not over. I'd like to buy some other weapons and equipment. In addition, I not only purchase weapons and equipment from our country for export, but I also buy a large number of various industrial products and industrial equipment for export, which can help our country exchange for a trade surplus. I think the state should be very supportive of a patriotic businessman like me, right? ”

As soon as Yuan Kedi heard Xiaoqiang say this, he stopped asking questions about this issue. The comrades of the intelligence department are not dry food, and this matter will always come to light one day.

Yuan Kedi said: "I don't want to criticize you when I talk about this topic today. Your contribution is seen by all leaders, and this cannot be erased. Let me tell you, there are several old chiefs who are very pleased with you. ”

Speaking of this, he changed his words and his tone was a little more serious: "But the more this is the case, the more you have to clean yourself." Don't get involved with some crooked things. ”

Xiaoqiang heard Yuan Kedi say this, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Next, Yuan Kedi immediately shifted the topic to the aspect he was interested in, and asked: "Xiaoqiang, you said that there are still some purchases." I pondered, you didn't buy any Air Force equipment today, your Uncle Yuan, I guess according to your way, should you buy Qiangwu? ”

Saying that, Yuan Kedi showed a smile on his face. That expression reminded Xiaoqiang of the aunt in the commissary downstairs in the dormitory in the university.

"I've heard that the pilots of the J-6, if they change to fly the J-5, they only need to train for another three to six months. General Yuan, is this true? Xiao Qiang asked before stuffing a chopstick and asparagus into his mouth.

Yuan Kedi put the two chopsticks neatly in front of him. He said confidently: "That's true, three months is enough for emergency training, and if you follow the step-by-step plan, you can successfully transfer to fly in six months." ”

Xiaoqiang was very excited, after all, if New China had a large number of strong five, the tactical strike capability of the front line would become a powerful existence in the fifties of the 20th century. The strong five* not only has a strong ground attack capability, but also has a certain air combat capability, even if it encounters a fighter in the 50s, it will not suffer a loss in an air battle.

He hurriedly said to Yuan Kedi: "General Yuan, I want to buy some strong five." ”

At this time, Yuan Kedi was not in a hurry, he said unhurriedly: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, I'll talk about it tomorrow, I'll talk about it tomorrow." Let's not talk about work tonight, come to Xiaoqiang, I'll toast you again. ”

Xiao Qiangxin said are you trying to get me drunk or what? But now that the day's work is over, it's okay to get drunk. The three of them then exchanged glasses and lamps, and did not talk about business, but just chatted, and ate until late at night.

Xiaoqiang got up the next day, and his head was still slightly swollen. I thought of making an appointment with Yuan Kedi and Li Mubai today to discuss further arms purchases. Quickly finished washing up and rushed to the Ministry of State again.

Yuan Kedi smiled and looked at Mimi's hair, and he didn't have time to comb it, and walked into the conference room with Xiaoqiang, who had a head of chicken nest and messy hair.

"Xiaoqiang, how did you sleep last night?"

Xiaoqiang joked: "It's almost like being in a coma." ”

All three people in the room laughed.

Xiaoqiang began to talk about business, and said straight to the point: "General Yuan, how much can you sell me the Qiang Wu in your hand now?" ”

Yuan Kedi said: "Next year, that is, in 2012, after AVIC's Hongdu Aviation Zuihou delivers another batch of strong five, the entire production line will be stopped, and China will no longer produce this model." At present, the number of strong five in my country is sufficient, but you can tell me, how much do you want? ”

Xiaoqiang thought to himself, this must require at least 48 planes in four brigades, right? Two more standbys.

"I want 50."

Yuan Kedi said: "The strong five export model is the strong five C, which is commonly known as A-5C, this model we have exported to Bangladesh and Pakistan, and the reputation of these customers is very good." In the eighties our export price was 5 million dollars. How about counting you $5 million now. ”

Xiao Qiangxin said that this is not nonsense, have you seen the price of pork, eggs, and vegetables, but have you ever seen the price of TV sets and refrigerators, and industrial products will only decrease with the increase of a country's industrial productivity.

"The aircraft is an industrial product, and the model and configuration remain the same, and I think the price should be cheaper, and I think the $5 million is a bit high." Xiaoqiang responded.

Yuan Kedi didn't see that he was confused, he was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "What you said is also right, so let's go back and I'll give you an internal price on the airborne weapons and ammunition, so it's okay." These strong five will be delivered in about a year. ”

As soon as I heard that it would take another year, this is something that really makes Xiaoqiang anxious, and the war is imminent.

"Uncle Yuan." Xiaoqiang began to get closer, and called his uncle directly.

Then Xiaoqiang made a request:

"My customer is in a hurry, I really can't wait to produce this batch of aircraft specifically for foreign trade, can you sell me a batch of our army's active Qiang-5B?"

Yuan Kedi hesitated for a moment and said, "Your customer is so anxious? Can't even wait a year? The production of fifty aircraft is not fast or slow, I estimate that it will be more than ten months. ”

Xiaoqiang said: "My customer wants to equip it immediately, and time is tight." I think you will give me the remaining strong five Bs of our army directly. ”

Yuan Kedi said: "To be honest, the performance of the strong five B in terms of avionics equipment is slightly worse than that of the foreign trade strong five C, but since you are in a hurry, then I will directly give you the old strong five B, and the price will be discounted to you, calculated according to 15 million yuan per plane." Fortunately, you only need fifty planes, and if you want more, I really can't make up the model of the Qiang-5B, and the remaining Qiang-5B in our army have been modified to E/F and other models. ”

Xiao Qiang hurriedly agreed, and then the three of them discussed it and equipped Qiang Wu with all kinds of airborne ammunition. These include the Thunderbolt-7 air-to-air missile for anti-air combat; ammunition for 30 aviation guns; 57mm, 82mm, 130mm rockets and launch vehicles; 250 kg and 500 kg low-drag bombs.

After being equipped with a large number of equipment for the Strong Five, the price of each Strong Five has risen from 15 million to 25 million. 50 aircraft totaling 1.25 billion.
