Chapter 173: Buy, Buy, Buy
"To be honest, I am grateful for all that His Highness Albert has done for the Government of India." Zubin? As soon as Singh sat down, he thanked Albert, leaving Albert confused, but then he figured it out, Zubin? Singh was talking about Kuchlan, and he couldn't help but think that this group of Ah San really believed their own nonsense. So Albert pretended to be modest and said, "It is right to do your part for your friends." β
It is not clear whether there is oil under Kuchrann, but the Indian side did detect that Pakistan sent geologists to Kuchlann to explore, coupled with Albert's reminder before, the brain-opening Asans naturally thought that the Pakistani government had found oil in Kuchlann and was ready to do a big job, and everyone was immediately in a hurry. So I hurriedly sent people to participate in the North American Air Show to see if there were any advanced models that could be bought back to fill the faΓ§ade, and by the way, lay the foundation for a battle. Ah San's idea was to wait until Pakistan was halfway through the digging to have a blitzkrieg and catch these people off guard.
So when Zubin? Singh's eyes lit up when he saw the F4 Phantom fighter, and he was still struggling with whether it was better to buy the F86 Sabre fighter or the cheaper F80 fighter, but after watching the F4 Goblin's stunt show, Zubin? Singh's eyes lit up, yes, it was him.
Although Zubin? Singh is not the one who makes the final decision, but his words will also play a certain role in the procurement of the Indian Air Force, and Albert will naturally fool him as a wronged leader. Take a step back, even if you don't want to sell in India. When the time comes, Albert will sell the F4 Phantom fighter to Pakistan at a 20% discount, and you will cry on your knees when the time comes.
"Your Highness Albert, I came here this time to talk to you about the F4 Phantom fighter." Zubin? Singh finally made his intentions clear. "I just watched the performance of the F4 Phantom fighter, and it was really exciting, so I wanted to know more about its data."
"Wait, this kind of professional question should be answered by a professional." Albert turned around and burrowed into the crowd and temporarily put Zubin? Singh hung aside, and after a while he pulled Messerschmidt out and asked Zubin? Singh said. "This is the chief designer of the F4 Ghost, the famous Mr. Messerschmidt. You must have heard of the BF109G fighter jet of Germany in World War II, which came from him. β
"Hello." Messerschmidt's friendly relationship with Zubin? Singh shook his hand. Smile asked, "May I ask you what kind of performance our Phantom fighter is?" β
"In any case, the more detailed the better. Without revealing confidential data, of course. "Zubin? Singh added a sentence at the end.
Messerschmitt cleared his throat and put into words the numbers he had memorized in his head. "Our fighter jets use J79-GE-17 afterburner turbojet engines developed by the two companies. A single afterburner thrust is 79.6 kN, that is, 8120 kg, and the fuel consumption rate is 0.2 kg/Newton? Hour. The total fuel load in the aircraft is 7022 liters. A 2,270-liter drop fuel tank can be hung under the belly, and a pair of 1,400 L drop fuel tanks can be hung under the wings. β
"The cockpit layout is tandem, with two control systems and ejection seats, which is one of the things that sets it apart from other fighters. The nose of the aircraft is relatively drooping to ensure a clear view when flying at a certain angle of attack. At the same time, it is also conducive to ground attack. 3 sets of independent hydraulic systems. The air-conditioning system is used to open and close the canopy, extend the nose gear struts and extend the emergency ramjet turbine. β
Zubin? Singh nodded. While making notes on paper in a small notebook, he asked, "What about speed and range?" Let's explain the fire system in detail. β
"This is an all-weather high-altitude interceptor, if it is used for interception operations, its radius is 1,226 kilometers, for defensive air combat, its combat radius is 795 kilometers, and for blocking operations, its radius is 1,145 kilometers. The fire control system is currently equipped with the company's latest 30 mm gun. β
The Vulcan system, contracted by General Power, was not planned to be produced until 1951, so Albert did not plan to install the M61 Vulcan pod on the F4 Phantom fighter.
"Of course, such excellent performance has to be worthy of the price of the F4 ghost fighter, we only sell 900,000 US dollars per fighter, if we purchase five at a time, we may also reduce the price of 50,000 US dollars, we will not disadvantage our old friends." Reported a Ling Zubin? Singh's staggering price.
"Nine hundred thousand dollars? It's better to grab this price! "Just in Messerschmidt and Zubin? As Singer discussed, a rude Scottish-accented English interrupted the conversation, and Albert turned his head to see a guy in a suit walking towards him angrily.
"Is it true that the tutor of an English gentleman is to teach his children to interrupt other people's conversations without being polite?" Albert stepped forward and stopped in front of the man, raising his head and staring at his fleshy face. The other party also unceremoniously accused, "Do you know who is standing in front of you?" I'm a sales representative for Gloucester in the UK, Scott? Gloucester, acquaintances, get out of my way! β
As soon as he heard about the British Gloucester Company, Albert immediately understood what was going on. It seems that this guy wanted to sell his plane to the Indians at the air show, but it was unfortunate that he killed him halfway and intercepted his beard, which made the so-called sales representative angry.
Thankfully, Zubin? Singh just gave him a blank look, and then continued to talk to Messerschmidt. Seeing that the Indian representative ignored him, this guy was also anxious, and shouted directly, "You Hindus, aren't you afraid that the British Empire will support your opponents and drive the Indians out of Kashmir completely?" β
"Enough!" Albert suddenly went berserk and put Scott? Gloucester was startled, and Albert said coldly, "I don't care which onion you are, or a bastard born from an uneducated guy, but business is first-come, first-served, don't you see Zubin?" Is Mr. Singh negotiating with us? If you don't get out, I'll call the security guards. β
Perhaps frightened by Albert's momentum, Scott? Although Gloucester is a dead duck with a hard mouth, he has already retreated in his heart, and he doesn't want to make a big deal out of it, if his uncle who is the president knows, Scott? Gloucester couldn't eat anymore and walked away.
"Who are you who dare to force my client?" Scott asked forcefully.
"Who I am depends on which identity you want to hear." Albert said confidently, "Is it the current crown prince of Belgium?" Or the president of Talest Heavy Weapons? β
"Are you...... Crown prince? The corners of Scott's mouth tugged, squeezing out an ugly smile, the British royal family and the Belgian royal family have a certain connection, and it is said that the leader of the Communist Party also has the status of a distant relative of the Belgian royal family. So he hurriedly lowered his head and apologized, "I'm sorry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please forgive me for my offense." β
Albert didn't even think about talking to him, and said directly, "Three seconds, disappear in front of my eyes, get out!" β
Even the crown prince said get out, Scott had to run back in disgrace, originally this time the British government wanted to make a good profit for those companies that supported the Labor Party, but now all the limelight was stolen by Talester Company, before leaving, Scott looked at Zubin with a vicious look? Singh and Albert glanced at each other, and said with hatred in their mouths, "It's good that you are an Indian, you dare to betray Great Britain, and you feel good to go back to the government." β
"Thank you to the crown prince for helping us out." Zubin? Singh said apologetically, "This Gloucester company is really annoying, relying on the backing of the British government, always forcing us to buy their Meteor jet fighters. β
But Albert didn't think so in his heart, how could he let go of a rare wronged boss like India, if he wanted to pit him, others wanted to get a piece of the pie? No way.
Albert waved his hand and said heroically, "It's just a gesture, and do you have any opinion on the price of our fighters?" You can just say it. β
"That, maybe it's a little more expensive, I hope I can be more accommodating." Zubin? Singh scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I can persuade the purchasing department to purchase two planes and try them out, but I hope the price can be more favorable." β
"It really couldn't be more favorable." Albert sighed and came up with a compromise method, "Otherwise, you buy two F4 Phantom fighters, and I'll send you two more Mustang fighters, how about it?" (To be continued......)
