I finally came to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base once, and I also caught up with such a good opportunity, of course I can't miss it. The U.S. Department of Defense has promised to help Heiyun Group solve the funding problem. For huge interests, paying that little interest is nothing at all.

Although this air force base has been investigated in detail before. In combination with the memory of later generations, it is also relatively familiar with Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. But today I found that I was thinking too much. The heritage of the United States is really not to be underestimated, and it is a long way to go to surpass others.

The CH-47 Chinook transport helicopter has been negotiated, and there are still many good things to be discovered here. And the army transport plane has been purchased, and the navy certainly cannot lag behind.

In the early 1960s, the US Marine Corps wanted to equip a heavy transport helicopter, and then Sikorsky's CH-53D was selected, starting the glorious history of the CH-53 series in the Marine Corps.

CH-53D made its first flight on October 14, 1964 and entered service in November 1966. The CH-53 "Sea Stallion" medium transport helicopter is an important part of the US Navy's helicopter force and undertakes a large number of amphibious transport missions. The CH-53 is often deployed on the Navy's amphibious assault ships and is one of the main assault forces of the U.S. Marine Corps from ship to land.

The aircraft uses two General Electric T64-GE-413 turboshaft engines with a single thrust of 3925 horsepower. The general layout of a single main rotor and a tail rotor, the cabin is in the shape of a long cube, the section is square, there are multiple side doors and a large tailgate to facilitate loading and unloading. The CH-53 is one of the few U.S. military helicopters that can take off and land on a standard military base with onboard equipment in low-visibility conditions. At present, CH-53D has been replaced by CH-53E, and all D-types have been transferred to the base for backup purposes.

Of course, the richest man in Bao knows this transport helicopter specially designed for the ocean, and he is bound to get it. If you want to get the weapons and equipment, you have to buy them back.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "The update speed of American weapons and equipment is really extraordinary. I think this CH-53D sea stallion medium transport helicopter can be sold to Heiyun Group!"

In the future, the CH-53 and the tandem twin-rotor CH-46 will be gradually replaced by the MV-22 "Osprey" tilt-rotor in a few years. What's more, the retired D-type helicopter, of course, will not refuse the richest man.

Colonel Freiburg said: "There are currently 548 CH-64D Super Stallion transport helicopters at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base; 404 are in normal use. After all, many parts of this aircraft are common to the E-type aircraft. There are relatively many dismantlings.

Hearing the number, Bao's richest man was shocked at once. Only God knows how many secrets Americans have. Unlike the high cost of the CH-47 Chinook, the CH-53D is much less expensive. In addition to the fact that the U.S. Navy has always been a giant beast of gold, it is normal to manufacture more equipment.

The number of retired helicopters here may be more than those in active service in most countries, so it seems to be a treasure.

Bao Zixuan: "If you can buy all of these helicopters from the Black Cloud Group, the business will be bigger."

There are more than 400 planes, although they are second-hand equipment, and the amount is quite large. I did not expect that this young man in front of him would dare to buy it at one time. It seems that poverty limits the imagination, and this is the real rich man.

The Ministry of Defense agreed to sell retired military aircraft to the Black Cloud Group, but the number should still be limited. After all, there are too many sales, and the hidden dangers in the future will not be small.

Ian Wright: "Is it a bit too much to buy 400 aircraft of a single model at one time? You must know that no country can take such a large order, mainly because it is worried that it will not be sold and will be wasted."

Said to think for themselves, in fact, is worried about causing a partial imbalance of force. Americans will support some power, but at the same time limit it. This is a balance that cannot be easily broken.

Bao Zixuan: "Thanks to General Ian Wright for his kindness, but I don't like to leave any hidden dangers in black business. The initiative must be in my own hands; if I can't buy all of them, what if something goes wrong!"

This kid's purpose is self-evident, he wants to get absolute pricing power. If the United States keeps some CH-53D sea stallion transport helicopters, once the black cloud group opens the market. The US side can take the opportunity to intervene; then there will be a price war, of course Bao Zixuan does not want to see such a thing happen.

Ian Wright: "I understand Mr. Bao's concerns. The Ministry of Defense will never do anything against our partners. Please rest assured, and we are no different than companies, which have many restrictions on selling products."

This is what he said, but Bao Zixuan didn't believe it, and he couldn't believe it. Americans are not reliable, but there are many experiences and lessons before us.

Bao Zixuan: "Of course I believe in General Ian Wright, but business must be completely controlled. Only such a business will be shot by a black cloud. Otherwise, I would rather not do it, please understand."

Bao Zixuan's attitude is very clear, that is, he can't buy all of them, and he will definitely not want this aircraft.

Seeing General Ian Wright nodding, Colonel Freiburg said: "The CH-53D was priced at $8 million from the factory that year."

For the price, Colonel Freiburg is definitely kind enough. The richest man Bao did not have any entanglement, and directly arranged for engineers and technicians to inspect the aircraft, and financial personnel to connect with the Ministry of Defense.

The transport helicopter has been purchased, and the next step is to purchase a general-purpose helicopter. Bao Zixuan had a goal in mind, and the Americans would definitely agree with that.

The UH-1 helicopter is an American military medium-sized general-purpose helicopter.

The UH-1 helicopter was designed and manufactured by the Bell Helicopter Company of the United States. According to the naming tradition of the US military, it was officially named "Iroquois", while Bell Helicopter Company has another nickname called Huey, and the name "Huey" is more widely known. The UH-1 helicopter is designed for multi-purpose, and its U stands for universal, which is suitable for all operations from replenishment operations to attack missions. It is the first helicopter equipped with a turboshaft engine in the US military.

Its civilian version is the famous Bell 204. In the Vietnam War, the UH-1 helicopter became the iconic image of the U.S. military and appeared in the press photos of the media. The superior performance of the formation of the aircraft, without an outstanding record, the US military will not let the aircraft show its face like this.

In the Vietnam War, the UH-1 proved the role of helicopters in modern warfare for the first time, and it was also the first time that helicopters went to the battlefield on a large scale. Also on the Vietnam battlefield, the UH-1 helicopter equipped by the U.S. Army demonstrated its excellent performance and became famous in the first battle.

The UH-1 helicopter is currently replaced by the UH-60, which has been gradually retired in the U.S. military. Regarding Bao Zixuan's purchase request, the military did not hesitate. Each aircraft is only 2 million US dollars after discount, and Heiyun Group purchased a total of 128 aircrafts from the United States.

Many countries have been to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base before, but none of them are more refreshing than Bao Zixuan. It's not about the price, it's more about the courage to do business.

Colonel Freiburg: "Many people have said how fast the Black Cloud Group has grown, and they have been skeptical before. It seems that we can't always look at problems with the same old eyes, at least not for young talents like Mr. Bao. "

After Colonel Freiburg finished speaking, Lieutenant General Ian Wright was stunned for a moment. What happened to this old man, how to learn to compliment people, I can't imagine it. Could it be that Bao Zixuan is the illegitimate son of the old guy, after all, the old man served in Asia. But it doesn't match the time, which is really strange.

Bao Zixuan doesn't know the character of the old man; but when people compliment you, especially an old man, you should express something no matter what~www.mtlnovel.com~ In addition to the kindness of the quotation, it is not an exaggeration to send a gift.

Bao Zixuan: "Thank you for the approval of Colonel Freiburg. After my military museum is completed. I will definitely invite you to come and have a look. Then we will have a good time."

Bao Zixuan's drinking capacity is recognized in the world, and the old colonel is also a good drinker. It's no secret in the U.S. military, it's really a blind cat meets a dead mouse;

Colonel Freiburg: "You don't have to wait to go to Xiangjiang, you can drink here. It's dinner time. Please taste the food at the base."

Hearing that he was drinking at the air force base, Bao Zixuan felt incredible. So he said, "Is it appropriate to drink at the base!"

Ian Wright is also very embarrassed, after all, the regulations strictly prohibit drinking in the military camp.

Colonel Freiburg: "I have the final say here. I can say yes. I will talk about other things tomorrow. You shouldn't leave so soon! After all, we still have a lot of good things here. I guess you are reluctant to bear it."

Bao Zixuan quickly had Huaxia Moutai moved out, and let these American soldiers taste the famous Huaxia wine in the middle.
