Chapter 1104

The latest website: Since the Kuwaiti royal family gave face, Bao Zixuan also promised others to help coordinate. In addition, the big head still belongs to the Black Cloud Group, so of course he cannot leave at this time. It's a good time to take the opportunity to take a good rest and organize your thoughts. I have been very confused recently, how to go in the future, although there is already a direction. But still a little worried, after all, what I want to do is too big. Success means a promising future, and the consequences of failure are also unbearable for the richest man.

But now that we have come to this point, we must keep going. It's not Bao Zixuan's style to give up halfway, maybe even himself will look down on himself.

As for the Kuwaiti side, now that it has been decided to do it, and the entire royal family has agreed. Then you have to take advantage of others to strike the iron. King Jaber managed to convince other members of the royal family that the opportunity must not be wasted.

McDonnell Douglas suddenly received a business negotiation from Kuwait, with an obvious meaning, hoping to export 24 F-15 or F-18 fighter jets to Kuwait. At the same time, he also said that the price is easy to discuss, but the speed must be fast.

An order for 24 aircrafts for one model is not a small amount; and it comes from a big family in the Middle East who is not short of money, and McDonnell Douglas has no reason to refuse. But seeing that Kuwait actually wants F-15 and F-18 fighter jets is also very embarrassing.

These two models are the main fighters of the US military. Except for their hard-core allies, other countries have not obtained export licenses. But I really want to make this money, after all, McDonnell Douglas is in a bad situation. And little MacDonald knew that Bao Zixuan was in Kuwait. He must be intentional to help, otherwise the Kuwaiti military would not be able to focus only on F-15 and F-18 fighter jets. You must know that the F-14 and F-16 fighter jets are also very good models, at least little MacDonald can't guarantee that the fighter jets he produces are stronger than others.

Although I don't want to, I still want to call Bao Zixuan. To see if there is room for coordination, the export of these two aircraft to Kuwait is very difficult. It's okay to fool Kuwait, but it's impossible to fool Bao Zixuan. I just wanted to ask the richest man Bao to persuade the Kuwaiti royal family to see if he could change his mind.

After Bao Zixuan answered the phone, he said angrily, "Mike, I'm in the Middle East now; if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, it will be difficult to convince yourself not to beat you up next time we meet."

It would be uncomfortable to be woken up at 3:00 in the morning, no matter who it is. Little MacDonald knew of this, of course, but time was running out; if he didn't hurry, he probably wouldn't even be able to drink the soup.

Little MacDonald said apologetically: "Bag, my friend. I know you are in the Middle East. Kuwait's application to McDonnell Douglas to buy 24 F-15 or F-18 fighter jets should be your suggestion; I express Many thanks."

"But McDonnell Douglas wants to export the most advanced fighter jets to Arab countries in the Middle East, like Heiyun Group; the military, Congress, and the White House will not approve them. Although these two fighter jets were developed by McDonnell Douglas, they can also be invested by the military in the early stage. A huge amount of money has been spent. To sell it abroad, you must obtain the consent of the military, otherwise McDonnell, as a manufacturer, will have no choice.

Of course I understand what it means, but this is what I want.

Bao Zixuan: "Don't make money without making money! Or exporting 24 planes to Kuwait can threaten the national security of the United States. Or just relying on 24 fighter jets Kuwait can attack the mainland of the United States, or dare to attack the US troops stationed in the Middle East."

"What's there to worry about, the Black Cloud Group has won a lot of orders in Kuwait. Thinking that you are my good friend, I recommend the aircraft of McDonnell Douglas. Kuwait is willing to spend a lot of money."

"McDonnell Douglas can add 3-5 layers of sales to Kuwait on the basis of the US military's quotation. This is a real profit, so why not do it. I don't know how McDonnell Douglas survives. If the company wants to grow bigger, You have to do business all over the world.

"The Middle East is the most profitable. I can deeply understand this. It's up to you whether you want to make money or not. I can't help you with anything else. Customers spend money, just want to get the most advanced and combat-effective weapons. It depends on how you think about it."

Little MacDonald wanted to say something, but Bao Zixuan said so. He was really embarrassed to speak, after all, people also consider the interests of customers. And it is very rare to be able to recommend McDonnell Douglas for the first time; it is absolutely interesting.

When McDonnell Douglas applied to the military to export F-15 or F-18 fighter jets to Kuwait, it was directly rejected. There wasn't even a meeting to discuss it, because the officer in charge of approval was Jewish. This makes McDonnell Douglas very excited, after all, hundreds of millions of dollars in profits are in sight. Coupled with the lack of money in the company itself, little MacDonald was really angry.

But the Kuwait side couldn't wait and could only find other ways.

McDonnell Douglas suggested to the Kuwaiti military that the production capacity of the two fighter jets was insufficient, and the military did not agree to export to other countries. Therefore, it is hoped that Kuwait can purchase F-4 Mirage II fighters; the price can be negotiated.

King Jaber invited Bao Zixuan to come to the palace and told the suggestion of McDonnell Douglas. Although I know a little about the American F-4 Phantom II fighter, I still want to hear the opinions of professionals.

Hearing McDonnell Douglas' alternative, Bao Zixuan was not polite at all; he said directly: "The F-4 fighter is an American two-seat, two-engine, all-weather, long-range, supersonic air defense interceptor or fighter-bomber."

"The F-4 fighter is a typical representative of the second-generation fighter, and its performance is relatively balanced in all aspects. It is not only good in air combat, but also in ground attack capability. The disadvantages are that the turning radius is too large, the maneuverability at large angles of attack is poor, and the high altitude It has slightly worse performance at ultrlow altitude, and requires higher runways when taking off and landing.

"The aircraft was designed by the American McDonnell Douglas Company in 1956. The first prototype was tested in May 1958, and the production model was officially delivered to the Navy in October 1961. In November 1963, it entered service with the Air Force. It was the main fighter of the U.S. Air Force and Navy in the 1960s and 1970s, participated in the Vietnam War and the Middle East War, and was once the performance aircraft of the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds."

"Actually, after the Korean War, air combat theory and fighter equipment technology have developed by leaps and bounds. Before the Vietnam War, the mainstream fighter design ideas included the following points. They believed that the high speed of the aircraft was the main factor determining air superiority; Purpose tactical fighter; advocates speed and long-distance air combat to win; must have a large range; can accept the decline in combat performance; ignore the role of the gun; does not pay attention to the role of the pilot in air combat.

"Aircraft designers have developed second-generation fighter jets, including the F-4, based on these ideas. The maximum flight speed of this generation of aircraft is about Mach 2, and some even up to Mach 3. Avionics and weapon systems The performance has been greatly improved, and the ground attack capability is emphasized, and the "large-scale" tendency is obvious. From the perspective of its aviation technology level and the performance of the aircraft, it has indeed improved and developed significantly compared with the first-generation fighter. However, in the 20th In the Vietnam War and other local wars that began in the late 1960s, the use of second-generation fighter jets was not ideal because the air combat methods in actual combat were very different from those originally envisaged."

"The United States stopped producing F-4 Phantom II fighter jets as early as 1979. Does McDonnell Douglas want to restart the production line. But for 24 fighter jets, restarting the production line is not cost-effective."

"And even if Kuwait bought it, it's not very useful. After all, this fighter is outdated and not suitable for modern air combat."

"As a simple example, let's say the pilots are at the same level. The Israeli Air Force only needs to dispatch 6 F-15 fighter jets to eliminate the Kuwaiti Air Force's 24 F-4 Phantom II fighter jets. And the Israeli Air Force's losses will not exceed at most. 2, maybe even zero casualties."

"F-15 fighter jets can kill targets at a distance of 100 kilometers~www.mtlnovel.com~ But F-4 fighter jets can only kill targets at a distance of 20 kilometers or even closer. The design concepts of the two fighter jets are completely different by an era. , Buying this classic aircraft back is not suitable for the Kuwaiti Air Force."

"Of course, if the price is suitable for use as a trainer or a target aircraft, after all, compared to the F-15 fighter's quotation of tens of millions of dollars; the F-4 Phantom II fighter's quotation to the US Air Force is only more than 2 million US dollars. And fundamentally Don't buy from McDonnell Douglas, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona, USA has a lot of stock. I have a good relationship with the admin, if the Kuwaiti military is interested; can go directly to buy it, definitely not more than 100 Ten thousand U.S. dollars."

"If $500,000 is invested in rectification, it is guaranteed to perform combat missions."

Hearing what Bao Zixuan said, the faces of several important members of the Kuwaiti royal family were very ugly.

McDonnell Douglas really has a good plan, are the Kuwaiti people really that stupid? Let's just forget about using a plane designed 30 years ago and still want to sell it at a high price. The price of each plane is more than 6 million US dollars, which is still so easy to deceive the Kuwaiti people.
