Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

"Do you know what you are talking about? I gave you a Su-27 fighter, not a MiG!!!"

General Constantine said coldly: "Once you have the ten Su-27 fighters I gave you, your Dragon Country will have a trump card to compete with the West in the air."

Immediately, General Constantine showed off the performance of the Su-27 fighter with a forced smile.

Even if Lin Kaifeng didn't know what the Su-27 fighter jet represented, the military generals of Longguo would definitely understand.

How important is the Su-27 fighter jet to the national defense security of Dragon Country?

Not to mention 600 million, even if it was 1.6 billion US dollars, Longguo would spare no effort to pay it.

Some things can be bought with money, such as the Su-27 fighter, a heavy fighter jet that Longguo could not buy no matter how much money it spent before.

General Constantine was not worried at all that the Dragon Kingdom would reject the price he offered.

Now that Lin Kaifeng has arrived, he will accept the total transaction price of US$600 million on behalf of Longguo.

Unexpectedly, Lin Kaifeng actually refused!

Lin Kaifeng said calmly, "Comrade Constantine, you are too wishful in some things."

"Humph!"

General Constantine snorted coldly: "I don't believe that your Dragon Country's military generals and military scientists didn't tell you how excellent the performance of the Su-27 fighter is."

“Its performance is truly outstanding, and the price is very interesting.”

Lin Kaifeng sneered: "Sixty million US dollars for a Su-27. This price reminds me of a profiteer."

"A few years ago, the price that Gaul set for their Mirage 2000 seemed to be million."

"Comrade Constantine, don't you think it's interesting to sell a fighter jet worth more than 20 million US dollars for 60 million US dollars?"

"you!"

General Constantine was furious.

To ordinary people, this matter is a big secret.

In the early 1980s, Longguo was preparing to purchase a batch of new fighter jets.

At the beginning, Longguo contacted Gaul.

There is considerable interest in Gaul's Mirage 2000 fighter.

Lin Kaifeng smiled and said, "The price given by Comrade Constantine is exactly the same as the export price of the Gaul Phantom 2000. Did you communicate with them in advance?"

As soon as these words were spoken, General Constantine's expression changed subtly.

He naturally had no contact with the Gauls.

The price of 60 million was offered for an aircraft, and the price of Gallic Aviation Enterprise was indeed taken into consideration.

General Konstanbing has long served as the front-line commander of the Soviet Union's fight against the West. He not only has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, but also a large number of intelligence personnel.

In 1982, Longguo and Gaul held lengthy negotiations on the introduction of fighter jets.

The Mirage 2000 fighter jet deal fell through because Long Guo offered too high a price.

The Mirage 27, whose performance is far inferior to that of the Su-2000 fighter, is sold for more than million yuan per unit.

Why can't the Su-27 fighter jet with excellent performance be sold for million?

This price seemed very reasonable to General Constantine.

Lin Kaifeng said slowly: "The export price of the US F15 and F16 is only 27 million. Even if the performance of the Su- fighter is better than the two combined, it is not worth million. For the same money, our country can buy two fighters from the West, but you can only buy one."

"Also, even if I buy ten Su-27 fighters from you, it will be difficult to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time."

"Comrade Constantine, you are doing a business with no capital investment. You are comparing your price to the standard export price. This is not doing business, it is asking for too much."

"How much do you want to give?"

General Constantine said unhappily.

Lin Kaifeng said without hesitation: "Twenty million US dollars, ten million will be paid in cash, and the other ten million will be used to pay for the material deduction."

"This is impossible!!!"

General Constantine flatly refused.

He only wants US dollars, not supplies.

"Comrade Constantine, this is not East Prussia. Even if you don't need supplies, your officers and soldiers may need them."

Lin Kaifeng said meaningfully.

"Only when subordinates are well fed will they serve their boss wholeheartedly."

"Comrade Constantine, do you want to stay in the Far East forever and not make any further progress? Don't you want the star on your shoulder to shine even brighter?"

General Constantine was moved when he heard this.

Lin Kaifeng's meaning couldn't be clearer.

He, or the Dragon Kingdom behind him, intends to establish a long-term business relationship with General Constantine rather than a one-time deal.

"Everyone in the Soviet Union's garrison in East Prussia has his own way of making money. Even if you take all the spoils, the people below will not starve to death. But this is a different time. This is the Far East, not East Prussia."

"The only income for the hundreds of thousands of troops under your command is internal appropriations. As the highest commander of the army group, if you continue to eat all by yourself, the soldiers under you will definitely cause trouble for you."

"For ordinary soldiers and middle and lower-level officers, sometimes supplies are more important than money. You have channels to spend US dollars, but they don't have channels to use US dollars to buy and exchange supplies. Therefore, various necessities of life are what they need, and it is also the best way for you to win people's hearts."

These words caused General Constantine to think deeply.

The officers and soldiers of the Soviet group army stationed in East Prussia had various ways to make money.

The generals above made a lot of money, while the soldiers below made a small fortune.

The smuggling and reselling business is booming.

Once you reach the Far East, all avenues to wealth disappear.

There are neither decent businesses nor any channels to connect with the West in the Far East.

If you want to make money, you can only focus on weapons and equipment.

"Fifty million per plane."

After careful consideration, General Constantine reduced the price by 10 million.

As for the 20 million mentioned by Lin Kaifeng, that is simply impossible.

Fifty million per aircraft, thirty-five million in US dollars as payment, and the remaining fifteen million in the form of material transactions.

Lin Kaifeng shook his head again and said, “Comrade Constantine, I’m afraid you haven’t figured out one thing. You are not the only channel for our country to obtain Su-27 fighters.”

"Do you have other channels to obtain this fighter?"

General Constantine was puzzled after hearing this.

Is there anyone in the Soviet Union who is bold enough to sell Su-27 fighter jets to other countries?

Lin Kaifeng smiled faintly and said, "You are clear about the actual situation between our country and the Soviet Union. The Su-27 fighter is currently a classified weapon, but in one or two years, or three or four years, will it change from a classified weapon to an export weapon?"

"Comrade Konstantin, don't forget that you are not the only senior Soviet leader who is short of money. The other military groups, military regions, and senior leaders of various departments of your Soviet Union are also short of money."

"You can think of selling weapons and equipment, but they can't think of it?"

General Constantine's face darkened and he stared at Lin Kaifeng fiercely.

Trying to use his power to force Lin Kaifeng to compromise.
