    On the second day after arriving in South Korea, formal diplomatic negotiations began. However, I don¡¯t know whether it was at the request of the South Korean government. On the street outside the mansion where the meeting was held, there was a demonstration procession of about a thousand people, holding high anti-China slogans.  , protested to the Chinese diplomatic mission that came to South Korea.

    Some diplomats in the mission had unswerving expressions, but Qi Yiming looked calm and told everyone: "It is better to have someone protest than no one. In the past, we only protested against others, but now it is others' turn to protest against us."

    A younger foreign ministry officer was puzzled and said: "Why do we still want others to protest? We, the diplomats, should try our best to keep other countries friendly to us and establish a positive image."

    Qi Yiming still smiled and said: "It is impossible for everyone in the world to say good things to you. Even if you give aid to others for free, people may say you are stupid behind their backs after taking it. The third level of international politics  The first principle is to be realistic. Carrots alone will not work, and sticks alone will not work. Therefore, only by using carrots and sticks together can we have healthy and good diplomacy.¡±

    Wu Xuejian also agreed: "We Chinese people, coming from ancient times, have had a strong egocentrism and excessive good face for thousands of years. Just like in ancient times, when foreign countries said a few good words, our domestic situation was not good, and our domestic situation was not good.  We will give generous gifts to foreign countries, which only gains face, but loses li. The situation in the country is different now. We have to establish a new concept of justice and benefit. There are so many countries in the world.  Maybe everyone is nice to us and everyone who respects us can get along well and make progress together, but those who are hostile to us must see how powerful we are.¡±

    Mr. Foreign Minister unified the thoughts of everyone in the mission and officially entered the conference room prepared by the Koreans.  Similar to what Qi Yiming had seen on TV before, two long tables were put together, with China sitting in a row on one side and South Korea sitting in a row on the other side. The most important person was in the middle.  According to the principle of diplomatic reciprocity, that is, Wu Xuejian and Li Yuanjing.

    As the host, Li Yuanjing began by stating South Korea's position: "We strongly protest and condemn China's infringement of our airspace and attacks on our fighter jets. At the same time, we also welcome China's willingness to return to the track of handling the problem correctly. We  We require China to compensate for the losses caused to us and ensure that such incidents will not happen again in the future.¡±

    Everyone knew what they would say before. Wu Xuejian said: "We deeply regret and apologize for the losses caused to South Korea, and are willing to pay certain compensation to South Korea. At the same time, we also hope that South Korea will make the three  The perpetrators were sent back to China.¡±

    Li Yuanjing immediately said: "According to my country's handling principles, we can repatriate two parties who are willing to return to China, but one of the parties' personal wishes is to go to Taiwan, and we cannot send him back to mainland China."

    Wu Xuejian frowned and said, "We cannot accept South Korea's handling. We hope South Korea can reconsider."

    Li Yuanjing had long expected that the Chinese would be entangled on this issue. However, their meeting today was basically to explain their positions to each other. They would definitely not be able to reach an agreement at the first meeting. After returning, the two sides would need to study and discuss again to see what concessions can be made.  , and a compromise can eventually be reached.

    "As for the amount of compensation, we require China to pay us compensation for the loss of all 15 fighter jets, compensation for the victims' families, mental losses, and my country's apology, totaling 140 million U.S. dollars."

    When Li Yuanjing said this number, the people in the Chinese delegation no longer cared about foreign affairs disciplines and started to make a slight noise. The foreign exchange in the country was more than 2 billion US dollars. Of course, Qi Yiming also had his own small treasury, but there were also  It has a special purpose. Because it has shot down 15 Korean fighter planes, the Koreans will have to pay 140 million US dollars. This is basically a money grab.

    As long as the Chinese people have a natural resistance to reparations, reparations have brought huge harm to this nation and country in the century-old history of shame, and reparations are a symbol of national shame. Some younger diplomats  The anger on his face could no longer be concealed.

    Wu Xuejian is a diplomat of the older generation and has good self-cultivation. He also knows that this is a drama of asking for money and paying back the money, so he replied: "Unfortunately, our country's economic situation is not good, and such a sum of money is too large.  "We can't afford it. We are willing to pay the South Korean side $2 million in compensation, but we can't afford any more."

    In fact, Li Yuanjing didn't dare to ask for too much. He knew that this matter was not at all the responsibility of South Korea. China was taking the initiative to give in, but if it wanted to cut meat from them, the Koreans couldn't do it. They wanted to find the American boss.  Brother, please help. The Americans are definitely not willing to offend China over this matter.  China and South Korea are large and small, and have completely different strategic roles. If the United States can win over China,It doesn't matter whether South Korea is a good or bad supporter.

    What Li Yuanjing is worried about is that if China is offended and then uses military means to coerce South Korea, it will really be a waste of money.

    However, the explanation still needs to be explained. Li Yuanjing added: "The Air Force of the Republic of Korea lost a total of 9 F-4E fighters and 6 F-5E fighters in the incident. If China cannot reasonably compensate the losses of the Air Force of the Republic of Korea, I am afraid that  It¡¯s unjustifiable, but we can also understand China¡¯s difficulties. We don¡¯t have to ask China to compensate for the price of the new machine, but it is still necessary to compensate for the depreciation value.¡±

    An F-4E costs US$2.4 million, and the F-5E is slightly cheaper. This is the initial price, and the price will rise even more in the 1980s.  However, even if depreciated, a dozen fighter jets are worth tens of millions of dollars. China will definitely not be able to accept such an asking price, and Wu Xuejian still clearly refused.

    Just when the conditions that should be set were completed and everyone could not reach an agreement, Qi Yiming, a well-known troublemaker, appeared. He would not overstep his bounds and directly express his thoughts. Instead, he said to Wu Xuejian: "Wu  Minister, it seems that the Koreans are mainly concerned about the fact that we destroyed 15 of their fighter jets. Since they want fighter jets, we will give them fighter jets for nothing.  We have won two orders from Pakistan and Iran to produce dozens of FC-1 fighter jets. You might as well ask the Koreans if they want the fighter jets we produce. We will give them a 30% discount. The more they buy, the more they will get.  The cheaper it is. If they buy a dozen fighter jets, the discount alone can cover the compensation of more than 30 million US dollars they want. And even after we deduct 30% of the price, the profit is still considerable.  The Koreans have replenished their aircraft, received compensation, and increased their combat capabilities. We have also received benefits, so why not do it.¡±

    Wu Xuejian absorbed Qi Yiming's idea for a moment, and then sighed: "Xiao Qi, you are really the number one arms dealer in our country. You never forget to sell arms wherever you go. You only sell Korean fighter jets.  If it involves too much, North Korea will definitely rebound, and the United States has a long-term monopoly on South Korea's arms market. The United States will not be happy if we insert a stick in this way. "

    Qi Yiming thought for a while and said: "As for North Korea, it's not a big problem to appease them. After all, we still hold the protective umbrella. We really can't just give away a few J-6s and J-7s that we bought for. If North Korea doesn't  On the road, then we will use other methods. It is easier for the United States. Grumman has been interested in the advantages of our light fighters for a long time and has always wanted to cooperate with us to develop the Xiaolong. I used to know that we can do it from beginning to end.  If South Korea considers the United States, we can outsource some other parts to some American companies. For example, if they are willing, they can replace the F-404 engine with an American one and the radar of the F-16.  APG-66 is also possible, as well as American weapon systems such as AIM-7 and AIM-9. However, the price we offer is only for parts produced by ourselves. Haha, in fact, the performance will not be the same if these American parts are added.  Significant increase, but the price will rise relatively quickly. Optimistically, it is estimated that replacing some American components will increase the price of our FC-1 to about 11 million. The Koreans are willing to be taken advantage of. "

    Wu Xuejian couldn't help but be impressed by Qi Yiming's whimsical idea, and said: "This is indeed a better way. If American companies can participate in this project, the resistance will be smaller. Haha, Xiao Qi, you are the best  This is a matter of borrowing strength. However, if the technical details of our FC-1 are known to the United States, will it not cause problems? "

    Qi Yiming smiled and said: "FC-1 is for export, and we don't use it ourselves. Why are we afraid of leaks? Moreover, we are the general contractor of the project. It is up to us to decide what kind of company to choose to cooperate with us.  Integrating an FC-1 with American origin is not difficult for us. So many companies in the United States just want to understand the details of FC-1, which is not an easy task. What's more, we export the self-produced version of FC  -1 They are all domestically produced equipment. These are the more critical things, and Americans don¡¯t have the slightest understanding of these things.¡±

    Wu Xuejian nodded and said, "Since you have already made your plans, let me mention it to Han Fang like this."

    So after the short recess, Wu Xuejian immediately proposed to Li Yuanjing to provide next-generation fighter jets to the South Korean Air Force at a low cost as compensation. However, he did not initially give as much as the 30% discount Qi Yiming proposed.  I shouted a 15% discount.

    Li Yuanjing has not made any statement yet, but the South Korean military personnel who attended with him immediately became uneasy.  Because the Chinese Air Force shot down eight of their fighter jets with two fighter jets, it had a huge impact on the South Korean Air Force.  Some South Korean Air Force personnel engaged in equipment research exclaimed, "The era has come when over-the-horizon air combat determines everything. The Republic of Korea must exhaust all means to obtain the ability to attack the enemy beyond visual range."

    A semi-active mid-range projectile like AIM-7 is definitely not availableIt makes so much sense, shooting and leaving it alone is the right way to go.  Except for the AIM-54 Phoenix in the United States, only China's PL-12 is a fire-and-forget mid-range bomb.  Koreans have a personal pain in the face of this weapon. If they can get it, it is really the best choice.
