Chapter 573 Follow-up of the Phalcon AWACS

   Ten million dollars!

Mr. Wang and the others stopped talking. As long as Qin Tao comes, then leave the negotiation to Qin Tao. They just need to listen on the sidelines. Now, when they hear this number, their hearts are full of fear. very excited.

   President Qin is so powerful!

  The radome is indeed very complicated. The shape 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 brainstorming at the beginning.

  However, the real manufacturing cost is about 1 million RMB. Now, Mr. Qin directly asks for 10 million US dollars. Now, the research and development funds for the domestic early warning aircraft will be even more!

  Will the other party agree?

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

Afik was very excited and nodded repeatedly. Boaz frowned and nodded: "Okay, then ten million dollars. If we have orders in the future, I hope you can continue to produce and provide us with This radome."

   "Of course no problem." Qin Tao nodded immediately: "Besides, we guarantee that the price will not increase within five years, and it will still be 10 million US dollars. We will make as many as you want."

   There was a burst of excitement in Wang Lao's eyes, and he could continue to make money in the future!

  The most difficult thing about this kind of radome is the first one. As long as the first one is built, you will not worry about it 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, and 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, if you can export the technology to us for your latest Viper missile, we would still welcome it."

Boaz smiled bitterly. The ability to export the Snake-3 missile in the 1980s appeared in that specific historical environment. Now, if they dare to export the latest missile technology to the East, it will not be long before the United States has to Come to interfere, when the time comes, their contract will be cancelled, and they will have to pay a large sum of money.

  Wait, Mr. Qin said that, so he came to Pengci to ask for compensation, right? 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 we finalize our negotiation today?"

   "Of course, we will sign it together with the transfer contract of the radome!"

  Back to the residence, Wang Laocai asked inexplicably: "Boss Qin, why did we sell the radar dome to them?"

"Of course it's for making money." Qin Tao said with a smile: "We made another fortune by selling the radome, so that we have an extra sum of money for our self-developed early warning aircraft. Hmph, last time I thought it was unreliable , you have to sign this agreement, now, there is nothing else left, only to make a fortune."

   Is that all?

Elder Wang still wanted to ask, but Qin Tao continued to explain: "No matter which country we try to obtain an early warning aircraft, it will fail due to the interference of external forces. Therefore, I have no other way but to develop it myself. Research and development It needs to invest a large amount of money, and we need to find a way to get this money out, and it is also good to be able to sell a few more radomes.”

   "Well, that's the only way." Elder Wang nodded.

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

   It's not too late to talk about it after you go back.

The Davids want the radar dome, naturally because this early warning aircraft has been favored by other customers, and in this era, there are not many countries that have the money to buy early warning aircraft, Ah San is almost the only customer of Falcon .

   After all, Ah San also has foresight. He knows that the early warning aircraft is a multiplier of air combat power, and he has no strength to develop it himself, so he can only buy it from outside.

  Americans don’t sell it, and Da Mao’s performance is too poor, so there is only one Falcon early warning aircraft from the Kingdom of David.

However, these people will not know for the time being that this radome has already been tampered with by their own side. When the Davids completely assemble the Falcon early warning aircraft and start testing, they will find that they have encountered various Such a technical problem, after repeated debugging, can't solve the problem. After several years of tossing, it is found that the problem is the radome.

   And when the time comes, even if the Davids come to criticize, our side has a reason to leave it clean. After all, this radome is also the first radome developed by our side. It is normal to have problems. As for our side's intention? How is that possible? It is absolutely impossible for our side to intentionally sabotage our own early warning aircraft!

Of course, since you guys say there is a problem, you can also bring over the revised drawings, and we can help produce brand new radomes. However, it is absolutely impossible to bargain for a price of 10 million US dollars. It will be good if the price is not raised. .

   It will take a few years for the thunder to break out, and Ah San will be the one who will be the one to get in the way. Making Ah San's progress in equipping the early warning aircraft a few years later is also a good foreshadowing made by Qin Tao.

  Right now, Qin Tao is still playing his role. He is the Emperor of Prophecy, and he has long said that he is unreliable. Now, he can only make up for the loss and ask for more money. There is no other way!

  Boom boom!

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

  Xu Zhengyang went to open the door, and then saw two people outside, one of them was Katz who had received them last time, and the other was Itan, the person in charge of David Country Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.!

   "Please come in, both of you." Qin Tao said with a smile on his face, "Mr. Katz, have you changed your career?"

Katz had a wry smile on his face: "Yes, we lost a lot of money because of the early warning aircraft project, and the aircraft company had to find someone to take the blame, so they fired me. Now I work for our Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., this Itami Sir, Mr. Qin should have seen it before."

  Qin Tao nodded: "I met you at the banquet last time, and we talked very happily. Is there anything you want to visit this time?"

   "Mr. Qin, we want to order the 039B submarine from you!" Itami was also unambiguous, straight-forward: "We want the world's most advanced submarine!"

  Order from your side? Qin Tao was taken aback by this request. You must know that the country of David is an arms exporter! During the years of war, the weapons they developed themselves have been tested in actual combat. This is a golden brand and it is easy to sell.

   Didn't expect them to import from their own side?

  However, their thinking is also understandable.

   After all, the Mingzhou Group has already started exporting submarines to the Pyramids. They feel the imminent threat, so they want the same type of weapons!

   "Aren't you making submarines yourself?" Qin Tao asked curiously, "Why do you want to buy ours?"

On April 15, 1996, the most important submarine of the David Kingdom Navy was launched and named "Dolphin". Since then, this submarine of the David Kingdom Navy has also been named the Dolphin class. , numbered 800 in Lubeck Engineering Office, Germany, is a further improvement on the basis of Germany's best-selling 209-class 1400 and the German Navy's own 212-class diesel-electric submarine. It can be said that it is the same type of submarine built in Germany. best performance.

  Its basic structure is similar to the Type 212 of the German Navy, except that a compartment for divers to enter and exit is added to meet the needs of the Davidian 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 David Kingdom Navy, and it is also the best underwater force of the David Kingdom Navy. Originally, the David people planned to rely on this kind of 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, God knows what will happen in the future? Therefore, they must have modern submarines!

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

Suitable? Why is it not suitable? Itami was a little curious.

"Our submarine has an underwater displacement of more than 3,000 tons. If you add an additional frogman compartment according to your needs, the displacement may increase to 4,000 tons. Your navy mainly Fighting in shallow water?"

   Itami frowned.

Qin Tao is right. For David, the threat is mainly on the ground. Their first development is the air force. All enemies are within the combat radius of their air force. Their navy patrols the offshore area. Mainly missile boats.

  The current Dolphin-class submarines have an underwater displacement of more than 1,000 tons. If they introduce more than 3,000 tons of submarines, how will they operate? For activities in shallow water, the greater the quality of the submarine, the more inconvenient the operation!

   "Our 039B is an ocean-going submarine, which does not meet your operational needs. Unless we redesign it and reduce the displacement to more than 1,000 tons, but in this case, it will be no different from your Dolphin class." Qin Tao said.

"Boss Qin, you are right, we took the liberty." Yidan heard that Qin Tao had come to the Kingdom of David, so he came to talk about the introduction of submarines. Although he hadn't reported it to his superiors, he would talk about it first after contacting him. Now, after Qin Tao's analysis, he has also discovered that he is indeed too reckless, and the 039B submarine is 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 it can no longer adapt to the increasingly complex sea environment. More advanced warships are needed."

The Navy of the Kingdom of David has always been very hard-pressed. The previous models were called missile boats. After the Saar 4.5 missile boats, the Saar-5 developed was finally called a frigate. The displacement increased from 488 tons to 1075 tons. With a full load of 1227 tons, it is currently the most advanced guided missile frigate of the Davids.

  It only has a displacement of 1,000 tons, what can it do? In Qin Tao's eyes, it's quite tasteless!

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

"But your firepower channels are seriously insufficient, and you can't resist saturation attacks at all." Qin Tao said: "In modern naval warfare, saturation attacks have become an important attack method, do you have the ability to survive saturation attacks? "

   There is only one reason why a frigate with a displacement of 1,000 tons can actually install 64 anti-aircraft missiles: the missiles are very small.

  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, the East does not look down on it, after all, what the East needs is regional air defense capabilities.

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

   "We have air force protection." Itami said.

   "If it's a fierce war and all your air forces are attacking? Besides, why does your navy have to rely on the air force all the time? Wouldn't it be better if you could have a strong interception capability yourself?"

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

   If you can not rely on the Air Force, that is of course the best.

"Of course, your navy doesn't have enough funds to develop large warships. However, small warships can also be transformed. Have you ever thought about it? If you modify the current Saar-5 and install a four-sided phased array radar on the bridge, it will Can Barak-1 obtain real anti-saturation attack capability?"

Although there are 64 Barak-1 missiles, they are all assembled in groups of eight and arranged in a seamless arrangement. They do not have a shooting range of 360 degrees. 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 it does not have multi-channel control capabilities.

  If you install a phased array radar, you can solve these problems!

  Itami's eyes lit up.

  Old Wang was a little curious. Mr. Qin turned down the submarine contract, and then talked about surface ships. What benefits can Mingzhou Group get from it? Isn't it more expensive to sell submarines?

   "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.

  President Qin is just to sell design drawings?

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

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

  Davids have needs and funds. It should be possible to purchase a few submarines from Mingzhou Group. However, Qin Tao does not want to do this kind of business with 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. Three submarines, and other potential customers together, may purchase ten or twenty submarines.

  Qin Tao can still calculate this account.

And more importantly, 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 must use this submarine as a killer. All kinds of confidentiality measures will be taken well, but the Davids are different. As long as the Americans need it, they will invite the Americans to the submarine and leak all kinds of technical data to the Americans.

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

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

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

   "How to change President Qin's plan?" Itami asked curiously.

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

   Of course we can’t say exactly how to change it. It’s just a matter of design ideas. If it is fully explained, then the other party will definitely make changes by themselves.

   "Expand the displacement?"

"That's right, even if the displacement is only expanded to two thousand tons, the layout of the warship will be easier." Qin Tao said: "Besides, your Barak 1 missile is only a point defense missile. Ship missiles, the interception window will be greatly shortened, you need missiles with a longer range, and this Barak 1 missile should continue to be upgraded."

   Itami 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 strong combat performance. When facing 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 get 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 of the IWC brand, but Ah San also has ideals. They also want to realize their own development and production of weapon systems. Therefore, Ah San's air force has LCA fighters, the navy has Delhi-class destroyers, and the army There is also Arjun Tank. Of course, due to Ah San's high-minded personality, the performance of these weapons is not good, and their own troops are unwilling to equip them, but Ah San's eagerness is still understandable.

"Currently, Ah San is still renovating the Chaoriwang. I heard that the short-range self-defense system on the Chaoriwang has not been installed yet. Your Barack 1 missile is good. It can completely open Ah San's market. Their aircraft carrier is refitted and installed, and at the same time, they can start consultations on new missiles, and maybe they can jointly develop them together."

  Wang Lao was a little curious, what did Mr. Qin say about this? 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 Yidan 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 your help to design our modification plan!"

  The other party agreed?

   "Okay, then hand over your original design to us, and we will complete the modification within three months. As for the design fee, we won't ask for more, just two million dollars."

  A two-million-dollar deal, and that's it?

Elder Wang had a lot of doubts in his heart. He could understand that what Qin Tao said just now could indeed make Yidan feel Qin Tao's selflessness in his heart. That's definitely not worth it!

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

Anyway, even if Qin Tao doesn't say anything, the relationship between Ah San and David will become closer and closer. After the contract between himself and David's Phalcon early warning aircraft falls through, Ah San will rush over to buy it. , the radome produced by our own side will also be installed on Ah San's early warning aircraft.

   Qin Tao was never ambiguous about digging holes for Ah San.

As for Ah San’s Chaoriwang aircraft carrier, you will find out how weak it is during sea trials. Even if this kind of Barak 1 missile is installed, it is meaningless, because the aircraft carrier itself has problems, and the short-range defense system is simply not enough. It can't play any role, the only purpose of this is to make Ah San 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, the technology research and development is not so easy. It will take quite a long time.

  Let these projects consume a lot of Ah San's defense funds, there seems to be nothing wrong with that.

   In this way, you can also gain the favor of the opposite David, and you are completely considering the issue from the opponent's standpoint! Don't even think about whether this will pose a threat to the East.

  Once approved by the other party, it will be much more convenient to contact in the future.

"Thank you Mr. Qin, we look forward to seeing your amazing design." Katz said: "Mr. Qin, I am also ashamed that the early warning aircraft project was forced to terminate, but if you need it, we can use some of the above Some technologies are exported to you, such as the production technology of T/R components."

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