"Some time ago, there were some air exchanges between the Soviet Union and Pakistan, and although Pakistan won, Pakistan's equipment really couldn't do it." Secretary of State George Schultz said, "We sold them the F-16s, which are only capable of fighting, and there are not enough of them. ”

"Scholz, do you also think that these F-14s should be sold to Pakistan? That would reveal the secrets of our Navy! This is the main fighter of our Navy! Poyndexter said.

Poyndexter, national security adviser and vice admiral, is on the same page as Weinberg.

"Even if it is not sold to Pakistan, it has long been leaked, and the Iranian Air Force knows the performance of F-14 fighters inside out." Schultz said: "Don't neglect our security in Central Asia for the sake of some petty naval gains, if the Soviets go south and gain access to the Indian Ocean, all our strategies will have to be readjusted, and the Soviet Union will become a terrible existence that rampant all over the world." ”

The Navy's petty profits, this sentence made Poindexter's old face red.

"Bush, what do you think?" Reagan finally looked at his partner, Vice President George W. Bush.

"Wouldn't it be better to hand over the group of members to the Senate?" Bush said: "What they have discussed is certainly the truth and is completely correct." ”

Among this group of people, the real old fox is Vice President Bush who is hidden here, and the sale of the F-14 to Pakistan has pros and cons. Those Democratic lawmakers are likely to use this to attack the government, and whatever they do is wrong.

"Okay, when the Senate has a conclusion, we'll make a decision." Reagan finally took a stand.

Weinberg was overjoyed, the people. Without half a year, there is no decision to be made, Pakistan can't wait for this batch of fighters, just wait for the next batch of F-16s, yes, there are F-20s, anyway, the country does not plan to equip it, it is better to export to make money.

He didn't know that Bush actually said that. It was even more meaningful, because he already knew the reaction of the members of the Senate, and knew that during this time, those members of parliament, under the persuasion of Grumman and the visiting Mhammad of Pakistan, had been inclined to help Pakistan and agree to export those warplanes.

It would be beneficial for both sides, Grumman got rid of the baggage, and Pakistan would have fought the Soviets more effectively. After all, now the Soviets are the worst enemies of the United States.

It's just that. A brand new fighter, from the purchase, to equip the troops, training, maintenance, a series of jobs. Without two or three years, it will not be possible to form combat effectiveness.

Even if it is now sold to Pakistan, they can only fight on those F-16s for the time being.

Grumman.

"Brigadier General Mhammad, the Senate has agreed to allow us to export F-14s to your country." Pierre had a smile on his face. "Now, it's time for us to move on to the next step, to discuss the specific price of the fighter and your payment method," Xiang Hamad said. ”

Mhammad nodded: "You already said last time, the same price as for your navy, it will be delivered to our country." ”

"Yes, in order to support our friends, our company is willing to provide your country with a preferential price, 50 million dollars a plane, what do you think?"

Million? Hearing this, the smile on Mhammad's face suddenly froze: "Your Excellency Pierre, do you think that we have traveled all the way here to convince those elders of the council that you will be cut in the end?" We are not the only F-14 option, the F-15, and the Dassault Mirage 4000, are the objects of our investigation, if you want to continue, please show your sincerity! We also came here under huge domestic pressure, and many people laughed at us and bought the hangar queen. ”

The queen of the hangar is the F-15! Pierre is also dissatisfied with Mhammad's practice of putting on a crown and wearing a crown, but now that this contract is about to fail, if Pierre is tougher, I am afraid that the person in front of him will really slap his ass and leave, and those who fight on the battlefield are tough in everything.

"And how much money are you going to have?" Pierre asked.

"I'm a soldier, straight to the point." "What you sold to the U.S. Navy is 10 million dollars a plane," Mhammad said. ”

"That's the early price!" Pierre exclaimed: "That's the price at which the contract was just signed!" Later, due to inflation, we lost money when we sold it to the Navy, and now it's not this price, it's 30 million dollars a plane! ”

If it was really 10 million dollars, then the business would not be able to go on at all, and Pierre would lose so much that he couldn't even afford to wear underwear.

"Okay, then $30 million." "That's $2.4 billion, and we need 500 Immortal Bird missiles, 1,000 Sparrow missiles, 2,000 AIM-9L omnidirectional attack combat missiles, plus these missiles, the contract amount totals $3 billion, including the cost of your help in training personnel, and some vulnerable parts..."

The Immortal Bird missile is very valuable, one is a million, five hundred, that is, 500 million! These things are not Grumman's, they are Hughes's products, and their own company sells them in a package? That's too cheap, isn't it?

"No, at least $3.2 billion!" Calculating the price of those missiles, Pierre couldn't help but say.

"Okay, deal!" "Here's a breakdown of the wear parts we need," Mhammad said. ”

The other party agreed so quickly? Pierre's eyelids began to flutter as he looked at the list that Mhammad had opened, and at the front of it were forty backup engines. These engines are already worth $100 million! Look at the others, none of them are cheap!

This guy, where he only knows how to fight, is clearly the most shrewd businessman!

"Mr. Pierre, I heard that the Iranians have already paid for that batch of fighters in stock, and how much money you sell is pure profit." Mhammad said: "We don't have a little light, this price is our bottom limit, if it is higher, we really can't afford it, many people in the country complain about this, this price, can already buy more F-16 fighters." Moreover, we still need to import a lot of parts in the later stage, and your company can still increase its income through guò later maintenance. ”

This is not a one-shot deal, after the fighter is sold, you can continue to sell all kinds of parts, you can extend your life in the medium term, you can keep upgrading through guò, to earn more dollars, especially in a country like Pakistan, there is no aviation industry, at most there is an overhaul plant of J-6, such a country, the later maintenance of the fighter, will make Grumman earn more.

Hearing what Mhammad said, Pierre finally agreed: "Okay, Brigadier General Mhammad, we are all here to support our South Asian brothers and resist the aggression of the Soviets, and we Grumman are willing to do our part in order to defeat the Soviet Union." ”

The two hands shook together: "Monsieur Pierre, I wish us a happy cooperation." ”

Until now, the cooperation between the two sides has been very pleasant, except that the price just now made Pierre feel a little little, but if it was sold to the Navy in the end, the US Navy would give even less.

"Brigadier General Mhammad, when are you going to officially marry my daughter?" With that said, Pierre continued to ask.

In this case, it is not appropriate for him to say it, but now that his daughter is with this person, and it is obvious that this person will be a big man in Pakistan in the future, and Pierre supports his daughter's choice.

"I'm sorry." "You know, I'm a soldier, and I have to get married with the approval of my superiors, and when I go back to Pakistan, I will report to the Ministry of Defense, and when the president approves it, I will marry Lilith," Mhammad said. The wedding of the two of us also symbolizes the great friendship between our two countries, and the President will definitely agree to it. ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." Pierre said. Whether his daughter was married to a Pakistani brigadier general, or was personally chosen by his own daughter, Pierre had no reason to object.

In the United States, freedom is always admired, and no matter who his daughter wants to be with, it is his daughter's own choice.

When he returned to the temporary hotel, he had just closed the door when he stretched out a pair of arms behind him and hugged him from behind.

"Honey, you're back?" Lilith's mouth was next to Mhammad's ear, and the seductive breath entered Mhammad's nose, and Mhammad felt his lower body begin to swell.

"Well, I'm back, and I've discussed with my future father-in-law about introducing fighters." "This is a good thing for Pakistan and Grumman," Mhammad said. ”

Hearing Mhammad talk about his future father-in-law, Lilith's heart was suddenly full of sweetness, her red lips kissed Mhammad's bearded face, and her tender tongue reached out to Mhammad's mouth.

After a long kiss, Lilith felt that Mhammad seemed to be absent-minded today, and when the two were relieved, Lilith asked, "Honey, why do you seem to be a little unhappy?" ”

"I heard that Grumman has written a new program for Tomcat's radar, which has a better downward firing ability, which can help us detect Soviet planes more easily in mountainous areas, but unfortunately, this is written for the US Navy, and out of secrecy, they will definitely not hand over this new program to us Pakistan." "Also, the F-14 engine has a high failure rate, and I heard that they replaced it with an improved Spey engine, but unfortunately, we can't get it," Mhammad said. (To be continued......)
