Chapter 573 Follow-up Processing of the Falcon Early Warning Aircraft

 Ten million dollars!

Mr. Wang and others stopped talking. As long as Qin Tao comes, they can leave the negotiation to Qin Tao. They only need to listen on the sidelines. Now, when they hear this number, their hearts are filled with excitement. Very excited.

 Mr. Qin is so awesome!

That radome is indeed very complex. The appearance must meet the requirements of aerodynamics, and the interior must meet the requirements of radiating electromagnetic waves. The thickness is constantly changing. They spent a lot of time on it at the beginning.

However, the real manufacturing cost is about one million yuan. Now, Mr. Qin directly asks for ten million US dollars. Now, the research and development funds for domestic early warning aircraft will be even more!

Will the other party agree?

With such doubts, Wang Lao looked at the person opposite.

Afik was very excited and nodded repeatedly. Boaz frowned but nodded: "Okay, then ten million US dollars. If we have another order in the future, I hope you can continue production and provide us with This radome.”

"Of course there is no problem." Qin Tao nodded immediately: "Besides, we promise not to increase the price within five years. It will still be 10 million US dollars each. We will make as much as you want."

 Mr. Wang’s eyes were filled with excitement, he could continue to make money in the future!

The most difficult part of this kind of radar dome is the first one. As long as the first one is built, there will be no worries in the future. Although the contract for the early warning aircraft fell through, it is quite good to be able to establish other cooperative relationships now.

Boaz nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Qin, you are indeed our best friend. We hope to be friends in the future."

"Of course, we can't do this kind of business. Other businesses are still fine. For example, your latest Monster Missile. If you can export the technology to us, we would still welcome it."

Boaz smiled bitterly. The ability to export the Snake-3 missile in the 1980s appeared under that specific historical environment. Now, if they dare to export the latest missile technology to the East, it won’t take long for the United States to have another If they come to interfere, then their contract will be cancelled, and they will have to pay a lot of money.

 Wait a minute, Mr. Qin said this. Could it be that he came here to pay compensation? This is a good opportunity to make a fortune! As the most profitable nation in the world, Boaz suddenly thought of this.

"You have difficulties? Forget it." Qin Tao said: "Then can our negotiation be finalized today?"

“Of course, we can sign it together with the radome transfer contract!”

After returning to his residence, Wang Laocai said in confusion: "Mr. Qin, why should we sell the radar dome to them?"

"Of course it's to make money." Qin Tao said with a smile: "We made another fortune by selling the radome, which gave us another fund to develop our own early warning aircraft. Huh, I didn't think it was reliable last time , you have to sign this agreement, now, there is nothing else, only a profit."

 Is it just that?

Mr. Wang still wanted to ask, but Qin Tao had already continued to explain: "No matter which country we try to obtain an early warning aircraft from, it will fail due to the interference of external forces. Therefore, I have no other choice but to develop it myself. Research and development. It requires a large investment of funds, and we need to find a way to raise this funds. It would also be good to sell a few more radomes."

 “Well, that’s all.” Mr. Wang nodded.

 There are some things that Qin Tao cannot say here. After all, the Mossad of the Kingdom of David is pervasive. Even if it is checked many times in advance, there is no guarantee that there are no bugs here.

 It won’t be too late to wait until we get back.

The Davids wanted the radome, naturally because this early warning aircraft has been spotted by other customers. In this era, there are only a few countries that have the money to buy early warning aircraft, and Asan is almost the only Falcon customer. .

  After all, Asan is also discerning and knows that early warning aircraft are multipliers of air combat power. He does not have the strength to develop them himself, so he can only outsource them.

The Americans don’t sell them. The performance of the big hair is too poor, and the only one is the Falcon early warning aircraft of the Kingdom of David.

However, these people will not know for the time being that this radome has been tampered with by their own side a long time ago. When the Davids completely assemble the Falcon early warning aircraft and start testing it, they will find that they have encountered various problems. Such technical problems could not be solved after repeated debugging. It took several years to find out that the problem was the radome.

When the time comes, even if the Davidians come to accuse us, we will have reason to brush it off. After all, this radome is also the first radome we have developed. It is normal to have problems. As for whether we did it intentionally? How is that possible? It is absolutely impossible for our side to deliberately sabotage our own early warning aircraft!

Of course, since you said there is a problem, you can also bring over the revised drawings and we will help produce a brand new radome. However, for 10 million US dollars each, there is absolutely no bargaining. It would be good if the price does not increase. .

This mine will not explode until a few years later, and it will be Asan’s fault by then. As a result, Asan’s equipment of early warning aircraft will be delayed by a few years. This can be regarded as a good foreshadowing made by Qin Tao.

Now, Qin Tao is still playing his role. He is the prophecy emperor. He has long said that it is unreliable. Now, he can only make up for the losses and ask for more money. There is no other way!

　　咚咚!

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

Xu Zhengyang went to open the door and saw two people outside. One of them was Kaz, who had received them last time, and the other was Idan, the person in charge of David Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.!

“You two, please come in.” Qin Tao said with a smile on his face: “Mr. Katz, have you changed your mind to the family?”

Katz had a wry smile on his face: "Yes, we lost a lot of money because of the early warning aircraft project. The aircraft company had to find someone to take the blame, so they fired me. I now work for our shipbuilding company, this Idan Sir, Mr. Qin should have seen him before."

Qin Tao nodded: "We met at the banquet last time, and we had a pleasant conversation. What's the matter with your visit this time?"

“Mr. Qin, we want to order 039B submarines from you!” Itami was also unambiguous and went straight to the point: “We want world-leading submarines!”

 Order from yourself? This request shocked Qin Tao. You know, the Kingdom of David is an arms exporting country! In years of war, the weapons they developed themselves have been tested in actual combat. This is a golden sign and can be easily sold.

 I didn’t expect that they would actually import from our own country?

However, their thoughts are understandable.

  After all, the Mingzhou Group has begun exporting submarines to the pyramid countries. They feel an imminent threat, so they want the same type of weapons!

“Aren’t you making your own submarines?” Qin Tao asked curiously: “Why are you still purchasing ours?”

On April 15, 1996, the most important submarine of the Patriot Navy was launched and was named "Dolphin". From then on, this submarine of the Patriot Navy was also named the Dolphin class. It was designed by Germany. , numbered Type 800 at the Lübeck Engineering Office in Germany, is further improved on the basis of Germany's best-selling 209-class 1400 type and the German Navy's own 212-class diesel-electric submarine. It can be said that it is among the same type of submarines built in Germany. Best performance.

Its basic structure is similar to the Type 212 of the German Navy, except that a compartment is added to provide access for divers to meet the needs of the Great Patriotic Navy, which often uses frogmen for special operations.

This kind of submarine with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons is the best choice for the Patriotic Navy and the best underwater force of the Patriotic Navy. Originally, the Davidians planned to rely on this submarine to dominate the region, but this Everything changed after the Pyramid State equipped the 039B foreign trade submarine.

 They suddenly discovered that they could not find any trace of this submarine at all! Although their relationship is still very good now, who knows what will happen in the future? Therefore, they must have modern submarines!

"Of course." Qin Tao nodded: "Of course we welcome your ordering submarines, but are you sure that our 039B is suitable for your needs?"

Suitable? Why doesn't it fit? Itami was a little curious.

"Our submarine has an underwater displacement of more than 3,000 tons. If an additional frogman cabin is added according to your needs, the displacement may be increased to 4,000 tons. Your navy is mainly in Fighting in shallow water, right?”

 Itami frowned.

Qin Tao is right. For the Kingdom of David, the main threat is on the ground. They first developed the air force. All enemies are within the combat radius of their air force. Their navy patrols offshore and has long been Mainly missile boats.

 The current Dolphin-class submarines have an underwater displacement of more than 1,000 tons. If they introduce a submarine of more than 3,000 tons, how will they operate? When operating in shallow waters, the greater the mass of the submarine, the more inconvenient it is to operate!

"Our 039B is an ocean-going submarine and does not meet your operational needs. Unless we redesign it and reduce the displacement to more than a thousand tons, but in this case, it will be no different from your Dolphin class." Qin Tao said.

"Mr. Qin, you are right, we are presumptuous." When Yidan heard that Qin Tao came to the Kingdom of Wei, he came to discuss the introduction of submarines. Although he had not reported it to his superiors, he wanted to contact him first, and Now, after Qin Tao's analysis, he has discovered that he was indeed too reckless, and the 039B submarine was indeed not suitable for his side.

"Actually, the surface ships you want to develop." Qin Tao said: "Currently, your most advanced Saar-5 frigate has a displacement of just over a thousand tons and is no longer able to adapt to the increasingly complex maritime environment. More advanced warships are needed.”

The Patriot Navy has always been very difficult. The previous models were called missile boats. After the Saar 4.5 missile boat, the Saar-5 developed after the Saar 4.5 missile boat was finally called a frigate. The displacement increased from 488 tons to 1075 tons. The full load reaches 1,227 tons, making it the most advanced guided missile frigate of the David people.

 With only a thousand tons of displacement, what can it do? In Qin Tao's eyes, it's completely worthless!

"A more advanced frigate?" Itami was a little curious: "Our current Saar-5 frigate is already very advanced! Our warships are equipped with 64 anti-aircraft missiles!"

"But your fire channels are seriously insufficient and you cannot resist saturation attacks at all." Qin Tao said: "In modern naval battles, saturation attacks have become an important attack method. Do you have the ability to survive a saturation attack? "

A frigate with a displacement of one thousand tons can actually install 64 anti-aircraft missiles. There is only one reason: such missiles are very compact.

 The Barak-1 air defense missile loaded on it is an air defense missile smaller than the Sea Sidewinder. It is 2 meters long, weighs less than 100 kilograms, and has a maximum range of only ten kilometers!

 This kind of missile is not favored by the East. After all, what the East needs is regional air defense capabilities.

 However, this is not a shortcoming for the Davidians. After all, they have their fighter jets for long-range air defense! They just intercept the fish that slip through the net.

“We have air force protection,” Itami said.

“What if in the middle of a fierce war, all your air force goes out? Besides, why does your navy keep counting on the air force? Wouldn’t it be better if you could have strong interception capabilities yourself?”

 No matter in any country, there are struggles between the military services, and the Kingdom of David is no exception. For a long time, their navy has been the weakest and has the least funding. Of course, they are also aggrieved.

 It would be best if we could not rely on the air force.

"Of course, your navy has insufficient funds to develop large warships. However, small warships can also be modified. Have you ever thought about modifying the current Saar-5 and placing a four-sided phased array radar on the bridge? Can Barak-1 gain real anti-saturation attack capability?"

Although there are 64 Barak-1 missiles, they are all arranged in a group of eight, and they do not have a 360-degree firing range. This is not a problem. After all, this missile has vector propulsion technology. , it can turn after being launched vertically. The biggest problem is that its guidance system cannot cope with multi-target capabilities and does not have multi-channel control capabilities.

If you replace it with a phased array radar, these problems can be solved!

 Itami’s eyes lit up.

Mr. Wang was a little curious. Mr. Qin turned down the submarine contract and started talking about surface ships. What benefits could Mingzhou Group get from it? Isn’t it more expensive to sell a submarine?

“If you need it, our Mingzhou Group can help you modify the design of the Saar-5 frigate to make it more perfect.” Qin Tao said.

 Mr. Qin just wants to sell the design drawings?

Now that we have encountered it, it is a matter of convenience. Qin Tao knows that the third "Harnett" of this kind of Saar-5 frigate was modified in later generations and installed the EL/M-2248MF-STAR new type of shipboard Source phased array multifunctional radar and Barak-8 missile.

Now, if we can fool them, Mingzhou Group can earn a design fee. As for selling submarines? forget it!

The Davids have needs and funds. It should be possible to purchase several submarines from the Mingzhou Group. However, Qin Tao does not want to do this kind of business of the Davids.

The reason is also very simple, because once the Davids use the same type of submarine, those potential customers may give up purchasing due to various concerns. This will be more costly than gain for the Mingzhou Group. After all, the Davids purchase the most On the other hand, other potential customers may purchase ten or twenty submarines.

 Qin Tao can still calculate this account.

What's more important is that once the submarine is exported to the Davids, the Americans will be able to figure out the technical details of the submarine. Customers from other countries who purchase submarines will definitely use this submarine as their trump card. All confidentiality measures will be taken, but the Davids are different. As long as the Americans need it, they will invite Americans to the submarine and leak all kinds of technical data to the Americans.

This submarine has no secrets from the Americans. Even if it is not for personal use, it will affect the export business.

 So, even if the Davidians really want to purchase it, Qin Tao will not export his most advanced 039B submarine to the Davidians!

However, since the other party took the initiative to come to the door, Qin Tao of course had to show enthusiasm.

“How to change General Qin’s plan?” Yidan asked curiously.

"Of course it is to modify the bridge. On the one hand, it must improve the stealth. On the other hand, it must have a four-sided phased array radar, so that it can become a fully functional air defense ship. Of course, if you want to expand the displacement, then this The performance of these warships will be more complete, please believe in the strength of our Mingzhou Group."

Of course I can't say how to change it specifically. It's just a matter of design ideas. If it is thoroughly explained, the other party will definitely change it themselves.

 “Expand drainage?”

"Yes, even if the displacement is only expanded to two thousand tons, the deployment of warships will be easier." Qin Tao said: "Moreover, your Barak 1 missile is only a point defense missile. Once faced with supersonic counterattack, For ship-to-ship missiles, the interception window will be greatly shortened. You need missiles with longer ranges, and this Barak 1 missile should continue to be upgraded."

 Edan nodded, deeply agreeing with Qin Tao's suggestion.

The Barak 1 missile with a range of only ten kilometers only solves the problem of availability. This missile does not have very strong combat performance. When faced with advanced supersonic anti-ship missiles, its interception efficiency is very low.

“However, it will cost more money to develop a missile with a longer range. At present, our navy’s funds are seriously insufficient.” Itami said.

“Then you can find a sponsor.” Qin Tao said simply: “For example, Ah San should be interested in your new missile.”

 Itami’s eyes lit up.

Ah San’s weapons and equipment have always been from the IWC brand, but Ah San also has ideals. They also want to develop and produce weapon systems by themselves. Therefore, Ah San’s air force has LCA fighters, the navy has Delhi-class destroyers, and the army has There are also Arjun tanks. Of course, due to Ah San's ambitious personality, the performance of their weapons was not very good, and his own army was unwilling to equip them, but Ah San's eagerness was understandable.

"Currently, Asan is still renovating the Super Sun King. I heard that the short-range self-defense system on the Super Sun King has not been installed yet. Your Barak 1 missile is good and can completely open up the market for Asan. Their aircraft carriers can be renovated and refurbished, and they can also discuss new missiles, and perhaps jointly develop them."

Mr. Wang was a little curious on the sidelines. What did Mr. Qin say? The relationship between Ah San and us is not good. If Ah San's aircraft carrier is really capable of combat, wouldn't it be a threat to us?

However, Mr. Qin’s words made Yi Dan, who was opposite him, very happy.

“Mr. Qin, your suggestion is very good! On behalf of our shipbuilding company, I would like to express my gratitude for your suggestion. We ask you to help design our modification plan!”

The other party agreed?

“Okay, then give us your original design, and we will complete the modification within three months. As for the design fee, we won’t ask for more, just two million US dollars.”

 The two million dollar deal was just negotiated?

Mr. Wang has a lot of doubts in his heart. He can understand that what Qin Tao just said can indeed make Yidan feel Qin Tao's selflessness in his heart. However, if he helps Ah San speak just for the sake of closing the deal, That's definitely not worth it!

Qin Tao smiled. He knew the doubts in Mr. Wang's heart, but he also had a clear conscience.

Anyway, even if Qin Tao didn't say anything, the relationship between Ah San and the Davidians would become increasingly close. After the contract between ourselves and the Davidians for the Falcon early warning aircraft fell through, Ah San would come over to buy it. , the radome produced by our own side will also be installed on Asan's early warning aircraft.

 When it comes to digging a hole for Asan, Qin Tao has always been unambiguous.

As for Asan's Super Sun King aircraft carrier, you will find out how useless it is during sea trials. Even if the Barak 1 missile is installed, there is no point because the aircraft carrier has its own problems and the short-range defense system is simply useless. It can't play any role. The only purpose of this is to make Asan spend more money!

As for the upgraded version of the Barak 1 missile, which is the Barak-8, this missile was originally jointly developed by Asan and David in history. However, technology research and development is not that easy. They have to spend huge sums of money. It will take quite a long time.

 Let these projects consume a large amount of Ah San’s defense funds. There seems to be nothing wrong with this.

And in this way, you can also gain the favor of the Davidians opposite you, and you will consider the issue completely from the other side's point of view! Don't even think about whether this will pose a threat to the East.

 Once you are recognized by the other party, it will be much easier to contact you in the future.

"Thank you, Mr. Qin. We look forward to seeing your amazing design plan." Katz said: "Mr. Qin, I am also very ashamed that the early warning aircraft project has been terminated. However, if you need it, we can put some of the above into consideration. We will export some technologies to you, such as the production technology of T/R components."

 Itami brought Kaz here not only to discuss shipbuilding with Qin Tao, but also to serve as a lobbyist. After all, Kaz originally worked for the David Aircraft Company.
