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

"I'm sorry, but I can't accept the additional conditions."

After careful consideration, Pierce flatly rejected Lin Kaifeng's unreasonable wishes.

Who did Lin Kaifeng think he was, the man who went to blackmail the US Chief of Staff?

In order to obtain the coveted Su-27 fighter jet, the United States has shown the utmost sincerity.

There are three types of military helicopters, totaling ten in total, with a total value of more than 200 million US dollars.

Spending 27 million to exchange for a Su- is definitely a win for Longguo.

As for Lin Kaifeng's proposal for five additional F-16 fighter jets, it was pure wishful thinking.

Pierce refused to give it to China not because he was worried that the F-16 would fall into the hands of China and be copied in the future.

The reason can be summed up in two words.

cost.

The f-16 fighter is an important component of the United States' high and low altitude combat.

The export price of an F-16 fighter jet is nearly million US dollars.

Five of them would cost 1.5 million US dollars.

Including the ten helicopters promised previously, the total amount has exceeded 400 million.

Once the news gets out, the Western media, who are accustomed to making groundless accusations, will inevitably criticize Pierce for betraying American interests.

In the 1960s, the cost of building a main aircraft carrier in the United States.

It's only 4.5 million US dollars.

A Su-27 fighter jet was purchased from Longguo at a price equivalent to that of an aircraft carrier.

Either Pierce is crazy or Lin Kaifeng knows how to hypnotize.

Hu Aimin and Wei Yunwei kept winking at Lin Kaifeng.

He signaled Lin Kaifeng to quit while he was ahead and be careful not to ruin the business.

Apache, Chinook, Black Hawk helicopters are all world-leading military helicopters.

The United States is willing to exchange ten Su-27 fighter jets, which is already very generous.

If Lin Kaifeng pushes his luck further, things will most likely be in tatters.

Lin Kaifeng said calmly: "Mr. Pierce, will you consider it again?"

"I think there is no need to consider this matter any more."

Pierce said expressionlessly.

"Mr. Lin, military equipment transactions are different from civilian commodity transactions. The series of things involved are not something you, an entrepreneur, can handle."

"I advise you to give up your unrealistic ideas. If you agree to the deal, I will immediately contact the country and deliver ten helicopters to your Dragon Country as soon as possible."

"If you think the Su-27 is a priceless treasure and you can get more conditions from the United States, I'm sorry, it's impossible."

"I will make a suggestion to your superiors to replace the personnel to connect with me."

Pierce bluntly warned Lin Kaifeng that everything should be done in moderation.

It is true that the United States is rich, but it will definitely not allow Lin Kaifeng to make excessive demands.

"Calm down, Mr. Pierce. I can bet that you will change your mind soon."

After hearing this, Lin Kaifeng did not feel any disappointment or resentment. Instead, he smiled extremely brightly.

"Absolutely not!"

Seeing Lin Kaifeng's confident smile, Pierce felt extremely unhappy.

Not to mention a moment, even if ten years had passed, Pierce would not regret it.

"It's already noon, Mr. Pierce, go eat first. After dinner, we can talk about other things."

Lin Kaifeng called the foreign affairs staff to accompany Pierce and Nathan to the institute cafeteria for dinner.

As the two of them took a step forward, Hu Aimin said helplessly: "The attitude of the United States is very clear. They will only exchange ten helicopters for one of our Su-27s and will not add any additional conditions."

"Anyway, we have more than one Su-27 fighter jet, so I think that's the way it is."

Hu Aimin was worried that Lin Kaifeng would not give up, so he continued to bargain with Pierce.

He tried tirelessly to dispel Lin Kaifeng's unrealistic ideas.

With three types of US helicopters, not only can the construction of the Army Aviation Force be completed as soon as possible, but it can also enhance Longguo's research and understanding of military helicopters.

Wei Yunwei chimed in, "Comrade Kaifeng, we all understand your patriotism. You want to do your best to gain more benefits for us, but then again, Americans are never vegetarians."

"In the past, they were the only ones blackmailing and threatening others. We have finally gained some advantages from the United States, so we should stop making trouble."

Hearing this, Lin Kaifeng said, "The superior leaders have trusted me and entrusted me with the task of selling the Su-27. Your task is to fully cooperate with me. I have my own ideas on whether I can get more benefits from the United States."

"Now, please follow me."

Hu Aimin and Wei Yunwei followed Lin Kaifeng to the institute's office building with helplessness on their faces.

A moment later, loud shouting was heard from an office in the office building.

Inside the house, the two looked at Lin Kaifeng as if he were aliens.

It is impossible to guess what Lin Kaifeng is up to.

He went straight to the point and asked the institute for relevant research data on the Su-27 fighter jet.

After receiving the Su-27 fighter jets, Hu Aimin immediately led the engineers of the Shenyang Aircraft Research Institute to conduct a comprehensive disassembly and research on one of the aircraft.

During the disassembly process, relevant personnel recorded a large amount of internal data.

at the same time.

In the institute cafeteria a few hundred meters away from the office building, Pierce and Nathan enjoyed their lunch with their own thoughts.

The Chinese are really crazy about poverty. They only got a Su-27 fighter jet, but they immediately treated it as a treasure that they demanded inexhaustibly.

They attempted to continue to demand benefits from the United States based on the ten helicopters.

"The export cost of five F-16 fighter jets is as high as more than 16 million US dollars. Even after technical cuts, the selling price of F- fighter jets will never be less than million."

"No need to say more. I have made our attitude clear. Lin Kaifeng should know what is too much or too little."

Pierce put down the cutlery and signaled to Nathan that there was no need to ruin his mood over such a small matter.

Of course, Nathan was right.

Even the scaled-down version of the F-16 that was originally intended to be sold to Longguo is not cheap.

The country in the world that knows the situation of Longguo Air Force best is Longguo itself.

Secondly, there is the United States.

In the US's variant version of the Great Arsenal Plan, 35% of the content is related to the Dragon Country Air Force.

The Dragon Kingdom neither wants to accept the new large arsenal plan nor wants to get more from the United States.

It is impossible to expect rewards without paying any price.

After that, Pierce picked up the toilet paper and wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth gracefully.

Nathan said, "Sir, should we protest to the Dragon Country's top brass and ask them to send someone to replace Lin Kaifeng and arrange for someone else to receive us?"

"There is no need for that. Lin Kaifeng's rude request is nothing more than an attempt to ask for an exorbitant price and pay it back on the spot. From a transaction perspective, others may not know how to deal with us better than Lin Kaifeng."

As he spoke, Pierce remembered something.

The fact that Longguo is willing to sell the Su-27 to the United States means that they have not reconciled with the Soviet Union.

As long as the two countries have no dealings with each other, the United States will have plenty of time to complete its various deployments against them.
