"The other side is collecting taxes. France is not stupid. The other side has issued such a generous order. If we don't have an aircraft carrier formation here, no matter how we purchase it, we can't balance the interests."
Nearly ten billion US dollars of military purchase orders have been opened. Only by purchasing aircraft carriers and ancillary carrier-based aircraft systems can the Republic achieve a balance in the amount. Therefore, the Charles de Gaulle-class aircraft carrier is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed in negotiations.
Even if the essence of the negotiation is deception.
Going to the opposite side to collect taxes is too close to the position of the traitor and traitor. The future Liang Tuhao will have to be hung up and sprayed if he makes a slight mistake. Liang Yuan naturally has to be careful and careful.
For example, first of all, you cannot spend money to directly force the other side of the strait away. Ning Lei and others may still slightly believe in the credibility of the government on the other side of the Pacific and the binding force of the announcements between the two countries in the 1970s, but Liang Yuan does not believe it at all. Liang Yuan's purpose was to let 4v spend its budget on French weapons instead of going to the other side of the Pacific to make large purchases.
Secondly, no matter how weak it is, France is a leading force in Europe. Even deception cannot completely offend France. In the future, Britain, France and Germany will be the republic's first, second and third source of technology introduction respectively. As far as Yuanjia's corporate strategy is concerned Spending money on technology to maintain a good relationship is still necessary.
In the Internet era that is about to come, the possibility of gaining a say in information companies across the Pacific is so small that it can be ignored. Instead of this, it is better to cultivate several companies within Europe that can compete with those across the Pacific. Therefore, together with Britain and France Improving relations between the three governments of Germany and China is related to Yuanjia's long-term strategy.
No matter how simple a countryman Liang Yuan is, he knows that the future will be an era of confrontation between unilateral hegemony and a multi-polar world. This pattern has not changed even before smuggling.
"I told Uncle Ning in the first half of the year that since we don't plan to have a decisive battle with some countries in the ocean, it is inevitable that the first big ship will tilt in the amphibious direction. Based on de Gaulle, making it smaller or bigger are possible options. In addition, Uncle Wilson and I have complained more than once, and we don¡¯t like having nuclear triggers pressed against our heads, so this is a good opportunity to fix the nuclear reactor along the way.¡±
Liang Yuan knew that if he wanted to influence the Republic's naval equipment to make strides and bypass certain pitfalls in the future, convincing Ning Lei was the necessary and only step, so Liang Yuan directly put his idea on the table.
"If you have an aircraft carrier, even if you focus on the amphibious direction, you have to consider carrier-based aircraft. The Rafale is too expensive and has a single purpose, so you don't need to consider it. Although the Super Etendard is cheap, its performance is lagging behind, so I won't consider it for the time being~"
Liang Yuan paused for a moment as he said this, seeming to be thinking about something.
"Xiaoyuan, these are the only two types of ships that can be put on board in France. Does Xiaoyuan plan to go to the UK to introduce Phantoms? Although Brilliance can solve the engine problem, Phantoms and Super Ensign are on the same level, right?"
"Uncle Ning gave me this advice, but he forgot it himself."
Liang Yuan replied with a smile.
Since Li Yuanling has been optimizing the Sibei aviation engine, Sibei has continued to make small modifications. Brilliance did not contact XAC and said, "Brother, I have a modified engine here. Do you want to try it? Generally speaking, try it." It means spending money. Xifei's J-H-7 is really a waste of money. If you break a penny in half and spend it, you will have no money to follow Brilliance's project progress.
What¡¯s more, Xifei currently has 40 to 50 original Speys in its warehouse. If Brilliance doesn¡¯t take the lead, Xifei won¡¯t be able to use Brilliance power for the time being.
"My advice to Xiaoyuan?"
Ning Lei thought about it for a while but still couldn't figure it out, and said: "Little Yuandong's movements have confused Uncle Ning for a long time. He can't remember what his idea was."
"Xifei's J-H-7 is on board, why did Uncle Ning forget it? The shape of the J-H-7 is inseparable from strong winds, ghosts and other things."
"Well, it looks quite similar, and then what~"
Ning Lei first followed Liang Yuan¡¯s tone and answered the question about how the J-H-7 resembled ghosts and blasts, and then continued to ask Liang Yuan¡¯s follow-up.
"I accidentally saw the report of COMAC a few days ago and found that MBB had a desire to cooperate with the Republic before the MP75 project, but we were too poor at that time and the matter fell through in the end~"
"I just mentioned it when I looked at the document. About the year before last, it seemed that the UK was taking the lead and planned to sell Tornado fighter jets to China. They offered a price of one billion US dollars and even brought over the production line~"
"That's right, that's what happened~"
Ning Lei nodded frequently and added in agreement.
Liang Yuan glanced at Ning Lei suspiciously, feeling that something was wrong, but since he had come to this point, Liang Yuan could only continue.
¡°The wing box shaft of the F14 fighter jet is still very difficult for our industrial base., it is almost impossible to introduce it from the opposite side of the Pacific Ocean. The wing box of the Tornado fighter happens to be developed by MBB. I wonder if I can get MBB to change the J-7 into the Republic carrier version of the Tornado, for the F14 fighter and the fourth generation heavy fighter. Lay the foundation. "
Speaking of which, before the Internet became popular, a lot of news was limited to a small circle, such as the F14 fighter jet procurement negotiations back then.
When the Republic was investigating the F14 fighter jet project on the other side of the Pacific, the European Republic was also investigating similar arms purchase projects.
The Republic purchases F14 fighter jets to fight against the Backfire Reaper in the north. Similarly, the Republic investigates the Tornado fighter project to fight against the ocean of T72 tanks on the ground.
The pressure the Red Giant puts on the United States is mainly in strategic directions, such as strategic bombers, strategic nuclear submarines, intercontinental missiles, etc.
The military pressure put by the red giant on the Republic and Europe is completely different from that of the United States. In addition to the strategic pressure, the tactical pressure is more direct and real, such as the overwhelming Backfire Reaper and the overwhelming T72 ocean.
If the F14 fighter jet is a weapon developed against the Soviet strategic bombers, then the Tornado fighter jet is Europe's military-industrial answer to the Soviet Union's huge tactical pressure.
Although in the future Internet era, compared to the Su-27, F14.15 and other star models are not as well-known, but in terms of ground attack, self-defense capabilities and long-range interception, the Tornado fighter is definitely the top fighter in the 20th century. attack aircraft.
The decline of the Tornado fighter after the new century is nothing more than the Soviets playing ball. The disappearance of the sea of ??tanks is somewhat similar to the disappearance of the dinosaurs in history.
Before the demise of the Soviet Polar Bear, it had always been the life and death enemy of the Republic. It is normal for the Republic of China to inspect the Tornado. If it were not for the lack of economic capabilities, the Tornado fighter would be the most needed aircraft for the Republic.
The original intention of developing the Flying Leopard fighter was that the Republic could not afford the Tornado fighter and decided to do it on its own.
