Chapter 747 Huge Interests Behind the Arms Trade
PS: Thanks to "My memories are not mine" for sending a total of 400 yuan red envelopes to Huali on Alipay, this chapter is still added for him.
—————
The arms trade is often all about political interests, and the military industrial enterprises of each country can only sell military industrial products to another country after the government negotiates.
Especially the U.S. dollar, relying on its own advanced weapons, the United States has used arms sales to achieve strategic goals.
Among them, India is the most obvious example. The United States is now constantly grabbing arms orders from India.
And these orders are often accompanied by a lot of political interests, the most important of which is to win over India to form a military alliance to jointly curb the rise of China.
Another purpose is to compete with Russia for arms orders from India, the world's largest arms importer, which is a real monetary benefit.
This is also why the current US president and high-level officials like to communicate with Indians. As long as they successfully win over India, the benefits to the United States will be too great.
Even the United States is willing to sell the electromagnetic catapult technology to India even for the second domestically-made aircraft carrier that India is currently designing.
However, if India really takes a fancy to the American electromagnetic catapult, it may not be too strange to grit its teeth and agree.
Of course, the Americans are not willing to sell everything. What India really wants is not the electromagnetic catapult of the United States, but the nuclear power reactor on the US super aircraft carrier.
As for the nuclear reactor technology on the super aircraft carrier, the United States also stated that India should not think about it. Even if it forms an alliance, the United States cannot give it to India.
The super-carrier nuclear reactor is one of the top-secret technologies of the U.S. military industry. Only the United States has this technology in the world, from the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Enterprise to the current third-level nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Ford. in the field of nuclear power. The United States will be difficult for other countries to surpass.
India intends to use nuclear power on its second domestically-made aircraft carrier, but the development of a nuclear power used on an aircraft carrier is not as simple as a reactor on a nuclear submarine. How many years did France develop it. Not without results.
And France's level of military technology is definitely second only to that of the United States. Even the United States can't produce a professional aircraft carrier nuclear power reactor. India, a country that even needs to piece together aircraft carrier design drawings. India, which has not even officially entered service with its first nuclear-powered submarine,
It is simply impossible to complete.
Even if it is given to India for thirty years. The most optimistic thing is to come up with something similar to the Arjun tank and the brilliant fighter.
Thinking about the technological age thirty years later, it would only be a tragedy to create a reactor that is not useful.
And if the electromagnetic catapult is placed on a conventional aircraft carrier. That's a tragedy, too, because there isn't any conventionally powered setup at all. An electromagnetic catapult that can provide enough power to an electromagnetic catapult without sufficient power is naturally a tragedy.
but. It is not true that the United States has rejected all of India. They plan to give India the electromagnetic ejection technology, so the United States is not willing to see that the electromagnetic ejection technology it gave to India is embarrassing in India. Otherwise, if you don’t know, you think the United States gave it India is a piece of rubbish.
Therefore, the United States also prints India. If the conditions are negotiated, the United States will assist India in completing the design of its own domestic aircraft carrier nuclear reactor.
For India, this news is definitely great news, but agreeing to the terms of the Americans, even with various technical assistance from the United States, is still a difficult decision for India.
And this is the main purpose of the US foreign arms sales, and its goal is to firmly grasp the military power of the purchasing country.
Don't think that if India and the United States have reached an agreement this time, India can sit back and relax. A weak country has no sovereignty. This is a cruel reality.
Even if India agrees at that time, with the help of the United States, it will really come up with a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and it will also be equipped with electromagnetic ejection technology, but I believe that the Indians think it is impossible to play with such an aircraft carrier.
I'm afraid I don't even have the ability to maintain electromagnetic catapults, and then I really have to completely rely on the Americans.
Otherwise, India may not be able to take off and land aircraft on this aircraft carrier.
And the United States has used such methods not once or twice, and many countries have also been recruited in this way.
Almost all of Japan's high-tech weapons and equipment, the key technologies are all in the hands of the United States, and for Japan's fifth-generation fighter jet, Xinshen, the United States' response is, don't make that useless toy, it's better to be honest Buy more Lightning fighters!
On the basis of the F-16, Japan produced its own domestically produced F-2 fighter jet. It was because the core technology was in the United States, and Japan still had to purchase the fighter system and core components from the United States, making the F-2 fighter jet in Japan. The production price is actually more expensive than the F-16 sold by the United States to Japan.
Japan naturally has its own ideas. When it comes to fighting wits, the United States may not really be able to play against Japan.
Of course, the United States also has its own cleverness. It has firmly grasped the core technology of all the main battle weapons and equipment of Japan's navy, land and air forces. No matter how clever Japan is, it cannot escape the control of the United States.
Therefore, regardless of the fact that the annual global arms sales add up to tens of billions of dollars, there is not even half a month's turnover of the Future Technology Group.
But in fact, the seemingly tens of billions of dollars in the arms trade is just a small cake that can be seen from the data. Behind this small cake are the real benefits.
And arms sales are definitely a business that does not lose money, and it can also achieve both social and financial interests, which is why all countries are so flocking to it.
Cai Ruichen naturally wants to intervene in this interest, but it is not the main reason for him to intervene in the global arms market at present.
The reason is very simple, there are only so many cakes, once you get involved, you will inevitably compete with other countries for this benefit.
Before there is no certain strength as a foundation, such an approach is really unwise.
After all, the future technology group is different from those countries that have developed, and the time is still too short. Advanced weapons and equipment are indeed good products to open up the international arms market, but the development time of its own strength is too short. When the country is a big power, it is inevitable that it will lack confidence.
Cai Ruichen understood the reason behind this at the beginning, so he would rather postpone it for a while, and then make a strong advance. After all, the customer is still there and will not run away. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
