Chapter 1843 Don’t Want a Two-Seater
Being able to sit in the position of a member of parliament in charge of military procurement proves that the other party has enough basic knowledge. Even from a distance, he can still tell a thing or two about ace aircraft from various countries.
When Yang Cheng mentioned the Su-30, Jose frowned, "The Su-30 is a good aircraft. It can be said to have become famous in one battle at the Chilean Air Show. However, the main reason why it has not received many orders in South America is that It's because of demand.
The long-range advantage of the Su-30 cannot be fully utilized in South America. Even Brazil and Argentina, which have the largest geographical areas, cannot use the large fuel tanks of the Su-30.
Another reason is that it is not easy to train a pilot. If Su-30 is purchased in large quantities, it will undoubtedly encroach on our originally small pilot echelon. "
Yang Cheng suddenly realized that Jose was worried about the two-seater problem. As for the long range, it had never been a problem. If the range is long and it is not needed, it can be refueled less. Half a tank of fuel can also ensure the maneuverability of the aircraft.
As for the two-seat issue, in fact, what many countries lack most is two-seat fighters because they can be used as training aircraft.
But since Jose said this, it proved that Peru had little interest in two-seater aircraft, so he had to change his mind.
Trying to find a fighter model in his database that could suit the needs of the Peruvians.
But after searching for a long time, he felt frustrated. It seemed that there was no more suitable aircraft than the Su-30.
The one that is more advanced than it is the Su-35. This is a fourth and a half generation fighter aircraft with certain stealth performance and the maneuverability of the Su-27. It can be seen from its name - Super Flanker!
But this aircraft is too expensive. The unit price is close to the price of an F35. The key is that so far, the Su-35 has only been exported to one country, country Z. It is not available in other countries. Where can he get second-hand goods?
As for the Su-34, which is called the "Platypus", it is even less suitable for the needs of the Peruvians. Despite the praise of the polar bear, it is known as an all-round fighter, but the biggest shortcoming of the Su-34 is that it does not have stealth, even if the Peruvians No matter how low the demand is, you don't want your plane to be detected by the enemy's radar as soon as it takes off, right?
The old rival, the MiG-35 used to replace the MiG-29, is not even recognized internally by Polar Bear, let alone sold externally.
No matter from which angle you look at it, the Su 30MK is the most suitable model. It is perfect for fighting against the F15C. It is cheap, sturdy and durable. However, the Peruvians do not like it. For the first time, Yang Cheng felt the frustration of the sales staff. No matter how awesome your Mercedes-Benz and BMW are, people will still like Lexus. What can you do?
It’s not that there are no models from other countries that can replace them.
But the problem is that Yang Cheng can't get the goods, and he won't waste time on things that can't make money.
Just as he was scratching his head, Jose made a call. After hanging up, he asked, "Mr. Yang, I wonder where you got the news?"
Yang Cheng's heart skipped a beat, had his trick been exposed?
However, his good psychological quality made him calm down and said calmly, "Secret~ I'm sorry, I have my source."
No matter what, as long as you make it mysterious, it will make the other party think more, and once people think too much, they will naturally forget their original thoughts.
Sure enough, seeing Yang Cheng's stern expression, Jose immediately explained, "Mr. Yang, don't get me wrong, I have no intention of inquiring into your secrets. I just want to confirm that my colleague just told me that Chile has not sent any information to the United States." purchase order."
Yang Cheng spread his hands, "If you want to purchase a secret weapon, will you make such a noise that the whole world knows about it?"
He paused and glanced at Sanchez, "Well, for Sanchez's sake, I might as well tell you that Chile is planning to purchase this batch of F15C through me."
"What?" Jose was dumbfounded. Can this business be done like this?
Just after completing someone else's order, he turned around and went to the leader to sell the corresponding model of fighter jet. Isn't this too shameless?
Although Jose was still very excited inside, how could he have received such useful information if it hadn't been for this greedy businessman?
No wonder Yang Cheng swears by his news. It turns out that it was the Chileans who personally delivered the news to Yang Cheng. Is there anything to doubt about this?
Of course, Yang Cheng still said something high-sounding, "My biggest wish is for world peace, how can I maintain a peaceful situation?
That is, if the enemy and we have the same military strength, so that both sides are afraid, and war will naturally not happen.
That's why I came to Peru as soon as I received the order. While telling you the news, I also hope that you can respond and maintain the hard-won peace. "
As soon as Yang Cheng's shameless words came out, Jose's understanding of Chinese people was immediately refreshed. After all, there were many Chinese in Peru. Jose thought he had a good understanding of this race. Unfortunately, that was because he had not seen it before. I have met Yang Cheng, otherwise he would have a hundred thousand reasons for the thickness of human skin!
"Ahem~ Mr. Yang, I understand your good intentions, but the problem is that we can't find a fighter that can compete with the F15C."
Yang Cheng cursed in his heart: It's not that he can't be found, it's that you have many problems. You don't like this one and you don't like that one.
He complained in his mind and said, "Jose, how about we change our thinking. I heard that you have a batch of fighter jets that have been used for many years and are almost ready for retirement.
Of course, adhering to the principle of no waste, these old fighters can be used to train new pilots. You can't use the Mirage 2000 to train novices, right?
However, in the flight stage, the Su-30MK can play the role of bringing the old with the new, while also performing defense and air control tasks. I dare not say anything else, but the Su-30 has inherent advantages against the F15C. "
If you think about the same thing from another angle, you will get a different conclusion.
Yang Cheng's words were reasonable and Jose could not refute them. Of course, this was also related to the fact that he was a non-professional. He only had a basic understanding of military knowledge, but it was impossible for him to do analysis like a professional. He was really looking for No reason to refute.
After much hesitation, he asked, "Where's the price?"
Look, there is never any difficulty in choosing when buying something. The only difference is whether you can afford it or not. Obviously, Peruvian people’s pockets are not too thick, otherwise they would not hold the airplanes of the last century as treasures.
Yang Cheng was determined. Since he asked the price, it meant that the other party was interested. Most people would not ask you how much a plane costs because they knew it was useless to ask. If they couldn't afford it, they just couldn't afford it.
People with a monthly salary of 3,000 will be scolded for being fanciful if they care about the price of a Mercedes-Benz, let alone an airplane that costs 200 Mercedes-Benz?
“The price is easy to say, the unit price of a new phone is only around US$50 million. Of course, this is the price for polar bears to use for themselves, and second-hand ones are definitely cheaper.
I will try my best to obtain supporting equipment and related services for you. Believe me, Iota's service is definitely the best. "
Yang Cheng looked like the leading actor in a Hollywood blockbuster. He had successfully negotiated a deal, and he looked like the king of the world, domineering.
After clinking glasses with each other, Yang Cheng felt that it was not easy for him to come here. It was not satisfying to get such two orders, and it was not enough to pay for the plane fuel.
As soon as my eyes rolled, I had another idea. You must know that Chile is not the only neighbor of Peru.
He heard that a few days ago, Chile and Bolivia had serious disagreements over the use of water resources in the Sirala River. Bolivia threatened to take the case to the International Court of Justice. Once Bolivia takes action, it will be the country's second issue following the Pacific Ocean outlet issue. , taking Chile to the International Court of Justice for the second time.
The grievances between the two countries can be traced back to the Guano War. As a neighbor of the two countries and with the same interests, Peru cannot avoid being affected.
As mentioned earlier, as the three early independent territorial countries in South America, Bolivia, Peru and Chile were originally in peace with each other. In the 1840s, the people of the three countries jointly resisted Spanish colonial rule and embarked on independent development paths.
But later, the conflicts between the three countries became increasingly acute around issues of territory and resources.
In particular, the Atacama Desert area located at the junction of the three countries has become the focus of competition. The climate there is extremely arid and it is a barren land. The three countries did not pay attention to it at the beginning of their independence.
However, by the mid-18th century, people discovered guano, silver ore and saltpeter there. These resources could bring huge wealth. For the three countries that were not wealthy at that time, whoever controlled the area would undoubtedly take the lead. No country will refuse such a temptation to embark on the path of prosperity and power, so the governments of the three countries have focused their attention on this region.
After many negotiations and negotiations, the three parties reluctantly reached a settlement and signed an agreement. In the saltpeter mining area of Atacama, Peru controlled Tacna, Arica and Tarapaca, while Bolivia occupied Antofagas. Tower, while Chile controls the remaining small saltpeter mining area south of the 24th parallel.
At that time, Chile controlled the smallest area and had been trying to expand the scope of its occupation, while Peru and Bolivia cooperated under the common threat and even signed a military mutual assistance alliance.
However, the good times did not last long. Within a few years, a storm hit Antofagasta, a port under Bolivian control.
In order to restore the post-disaster economy, local authorities in Bolivia decided to increase taxes. However, the city's main wealth is controlled by the Antofagasta Saltpeter and Railway Company, a joint venture between Chile and the United Kingdom. Therefore, the resolution was severely protested by Chile.
As a result, the Bolivians refused to reason with you, let alone play tricks, and forcibly confiscated the property of the relevant saltpeter companies. So, under the instigation of the British, Chile prepared to resort to war to solve the problem, and wanted to take the opportunity to occupy the entire Atacama region.
Because of this, this war, which was recorded in history textbooks by later generations, got the title of "Guano War" or "Saltpeter War".
But to the Peruvians, they seem to be a bit unjust and were completely dragged into the war. Of course, this is just their own idea. In the eyes of outsiders, no one is unjust. Everyone has their own interests. If you don't fight if you have the ability, Are you watching your interests being robbed?
