v2 Chapter 1307: father jiko filial piety

The Tiger gunship should be one of the few bright weapon platforms in the post-war Britain. Considering the unique and hip aesthetics of the United Kingdom on the weapon platform, it is hard to imagine a country that manufactures helicopters without tail fins. Such a successful weapon platform came out.

From this point, we can know how suitable Alan Wilson's ability to copy the shell is, it is a perfect match for the United Kingdom.

As of today, it is mainly exported to European countries and the Middle East. Indians still prefer tanks. They don’t think armed helicopters will be very useful. I hope this will change after the India-Pakistan war.

The export of nearly a thousand Tiger gunships has proved its reliability. Alan Wilson guessed right. The United States is indeed researching a kind of armed helicopter, but it has just been tested. It was a large number of equipment used by the United States during the Vietnam War. Cobra Gunship.

As for the prototype Apache of the Tiger gunship? In fact, it didn't catch up with the Vietnam War, and it was Saigon Iron Fist when it first flew.

Alan Wilson speculates that the Americans are only temporarily ordering Tiger gunships to solve the urgent need, and to improve the recent embarrassment of the United States without reliable gunships. Once the Cobra gunships start mass production, the United States will not need the United Kingdom. It is impossible to expect the United States to drive the development of British weapons platforms during the Vietnam War, because the morality of the United States is overestimated.

But even if he knew in his heart that there was no such thing as a large arms sale order, Alan Wilson still acted as if he hoped that the order would succeed, giving Donald a reassurance. What is the special relationship between Britain and the United States? Alan Wilson implemented the special relationship between Britain and the United States with practical actions.

The military technology exchange between Britain and the United States still needs to continue, and the doorway must be carefully planned. Donald left with a smile. After he left, Alan Wilson fell into thinking. He didn't know what the price would be. Concerned, arms sales are huge profits, but they have to be distributed to whom.

Take the Tiger prototype Apache as an example. When the first Apaches entered service in the 1980s, the average cost per aircraft was 19 million U.S. dollars. The price of foreign arms sales is definitely different according to different countries. Simply put, the poorer your country is, the higher the price.

It costs 50 million US dollars to sell to South Korea, but it is even more expensive to sell to the Philippines. 250 million US dollars is more expensive than 35.

Britain's arms sales of Tiger gunships also follow this rule. The prices of Germany, France and Italy in Europe and the pro-British countries in the Middle East are different. The former are all industrial countries, and the price of selling them is too high, and they make their own after calculation. Middle Eastern countries do not have this ability, so they sell more expensive.

After returning home, Alan Wilson informed his wife of the news, and expressed his thoughts, "My suggestion is to sell it. It is good to be famous. And the price cannot be higher than that sold to Europe. Now The Royal Navy is facing a problem. In terms of destroyers and frigates, the Royal Navy still has a large number of warships in service during World War II. We have dealt with the bulk of aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines. The **** force should also be given attention. The cabinet is definitely unwilling to hear this. Good news for spending money. If you can get help from the United States, save some costs, and orderly replacement will be much easier."

"Spend a small amount of money to do big things, right? Exchange the Tiger type for the electronic equipment technology of the American destroyer?" Pamela Mountbatten has shared the bed with the supreme authority for so many years. As long as this man speaks, she will know the next development, "My The product loses money, but the British Empire makes money, doesn't that mean."

"A strong military can't solve all problems, but it can also solve most of them." Alan Wilson pulled his wife's body over, holding his wife's body while enjoying, "I'm also going to fight for the construction of the Mountbatten guided missile battleship." U.S. support. Do you know why?"

"Why?" Involuntarily, Pamela Mountbatten followed her husband's established track and began to abandon the high IQ. The whole process was very smooth, as if it should be so.

"Given that we still have the configuration of the US Navy, it is impossible to find another way on this kind of arsenal ship. This is undoubtedly self-defeating. Do we still want our aircraft carrier battle group?" Alan Wilson said temptingly, "Once this kind of route Changes will bring heavy pressure to the country, and we simply cannot afford to change. Considering the current tonnage of the Royal Navy and the US Navy, if the US Navy wants us to work **** the arsenal ship?"

The U.S. Navy also uses aircraft carrier battle groups as the core of the navy. The Pentagon must know how much financial pressure this kind of attempt will increase. The aircraft carrier battle group has been tested in wars. The arsenal ship is just beautiful, but it must be a thankless effort to try now.

To build a missile fleet, in fact, the most suitable is the Soviet Red Navy. The Red Navy has no sinking cost, and there is no difficulty in riding a tiger.

"Well, the Americans will definitely agree. Their country is bigger than the United Kingdom. They can watch us try and make mistakes before deciding whether to follow. If I were an American, I would almost encourage the United Kingdom." How about Pamela Mountbatten Said to be the daughter of the Admiral of the Navy.

"The United States definitely wants to abolish the Royal Navy and take away all sea power in the world. Once the Royal Navy goes astray, the Americans must be very happy." Alan Wilson said with a smile, "We require the United States to provide Technical support is exchanged by lowering the selling price of the Tiger. In this way, the United States is simply a win-win."

"Well, the Americans won twice. They took away the British's rare fist weapon to fill the gap during the war, and they might think of leading us on the wrong path." Pamela Mountbatten nodded, and now she understands What the husband wants to do, trade gunships for British frigate electronics upgrades to get the next generation frigate ready for service.

It is not an exaggeration to think about the United States from the bottom line of thinking. Let alone other things, the United States is still drawing the ppt of supersonic airliners. There is wind blowing from Washington. Supersonic airliners are the trend of the future. Boeing 2707 The supersonic passenger aircraft will replace the existing passenger aircraft of various countries. This is the first and only civil aviation passenger aircraft research and development project directly led and funded by the US government in the history of the United States.

It seems to be the case. Alan Wilson remembers that the Boeing 2707 supersonic airliner is basically the Star Wars program aimed at the United Kingdom. The then US President Kennedy formally established the "National Supersonic Airliner Program" and promised the US government Seventy-five percent of the cost of developing a supersonic airliner will be funded.

The design requirements of the supersonic aircraft were successively sent to major aircraft manufacturers in the United States, and the fuselage and engine were bid separately. Competitors for the fuselage included Boeing, Lockheed, and North American Aerospace, while for engines Curtiss-Wright, Pratt & Whitney, and General Electric.

As a result, the United Kingdom, which collapsed because of the comet airliner, united with France with the ambition of making a comeback, and took the lead in manufacturing the Concorde supersonic airliner. However, the United States terminated the supersonic airliner plan and said I was joking.

Now the Comet Airliner is running well, so come on again? Alan Wilson is really going to argue with the French, using ppt against ppt to see who is more similar in acting.

Of course, first of all, the most believable person is Pamela Mountbatten who sleeps with him. Now this time to sharpen his acting skills, Pamela Mountbatten also agreed to see what her husband can get back with Tiger Style.

Alan Wilson first left the American ambassador out for a few days, and seriously discussed the future development of the arsenal ship with the Ministry of Defense. When Donald came to the door again, he said that Pamela Mountbatten was an entrepreneur and she wanted to make money. Yes, this is not the time of World War II. A tank is more expensive than a bomber. Now a Tiger gunship costs more than three times that of a Chieftain tank.

If the United States needs more, it's okay to say that if it only buys dozens of emergency planes, it will not take Britain's richest woman seriously.

"However, if the United States can provide some technical support on the guided missile battleship, such as electronic equipment. I am still willing to facilitate this arms sale, or when we sell arms to each other, give each other a little discount. I don't know what the ambassador thinks Sample?"

Britain is not verifying, in fact, it has already started to build the only battleship started after the war. Facts have proved that Britain has really started to think about the application of arsenal ships~lightnovelpub.net~Donald just needs to inform the Americans about this accurately up.

The Pentagon, the symbol of the power of the US military, the number one figure in the US Navy, David Lamar McDonald, listened to Earl Wheeler's exposition on the Vietnam War, and finally heard what he was interested in, " The British side does not prohibit the export of Tiger gunships. Our Cobra gunships have just flown, and we really need the British to help fill the gap. But the British don’t want to suffer. They hope that we can provide some help in the guided missile battleship project, especially It’s on the electronic equipment. I heard that work has already started.”

"This is a good thing. The British seem to want to make an effort to regain the First Navy. However, our Admiralty has demonstrated that this is a wrong line, and the British will definitely regret it in the end."

When Macdonald heard this, his eyes were filled with stars. "The Soviets clamored every day to use missiles to solve the problem. The Soviet Union is so close to the UK. The British seem very worried."

"McDonald, do you think this is a technology exchange that is beneficial to both of us?" Earl Wheeler asked seriously, has the Admiralty fully demonstrated another naval route?

"Chairman, of course we have argued that at the same time, British armed helicopters are very helpful to the Army's operations in South Vietnam." Macdonald looked at the Army Chief of Staff Harold Keith Johnson at this time, "Harold, do you think What about this exchange, will we suffer a loss?"

"In terms of specific projects, the production of the Cobra gunship still needs time. Of course, we will not suffer a loss. Generally speaking, if we really carry out technology exchanges, then we will not suffer a disadvantage."

After hearing the words of the Chief of Staff of the Navy and the Chief of Staff of the Army, Earl Wheeler nodded clearly, "Then send someone to have a good talk with the British. It is a win-win arms sales project for us."
