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

Fighter jets do not exist alone. After purchasing a fighter jet, you also need to purchase a large number of spare parts, train ground crews, build airports and control towers, and perform routine upkeep and maintenance on the fighter jets.

After going through the entire process, the cost of maintaining a fighter jet may be as high as tens of millions of US dollars.

How much does this two-seater rotorcraft in front of you cost?

Lin Kaifeng himself said it very clearly that the military version of the two-seater rotorcraft only costs 50,000 Dragon Country dollars.

If you sell it overseas, the price can be tripled or quadruple, and it can definitely be sold for 100,000 US dollars.

Small countries may not be able to carry fixed missiles or anti-tank rocket launchers on two-seater rotorcraft, but they can at least get them.

The person in front is responsible for driving, while the crew in the back uses rockets to attack from high above.

As for accuracy, just practice more.

After talking about the value of the two-seater gyroplane in the military and export fields, General Liu, with great curiosity, asked what other unique advantages the two-seater gyroplane had.

Lin Kaifeng said without hesitation: "In addition to being used in military operations, two-person rotorcraft can also be used in disaster relief, forest patrol, geological survey, water source survey and other tasks."

The two-seater rotorcraft has at least ten special functions, which not only saves manpower but also reduces unnecessary casualties.

Lin Kaifeng gave examples on the spot.

Longguo organizes a large amount of exploration work every year.

The scientific expedition workers traveled through ravines and climbed old forests, often going deep into the mountains, bad waters and dangerous places.

Danger can occur anywhere and at any time.

The survey of some dangerous areas can be completely replaced by a two-person rotorcraft.

Two-seater rotorcraft is also indispensable for border patrols.

The Dragon Kingdom has a vast territory and a long border.

The border environments vary from place to place; some are located in jungles, while others are covered with snow all year round.

Some border areas are also located at high altitudes.

You can imagine how difficult it is to patrol in such a place.

"As the income level of the domestic people is getting higher and higher, the prospects of the civil aviation market are definitely promising. However, under the current situation, it is difficult for two-seater gyroplanes to be rolled out in the domestic civil market. I plan to take two steps. The first step is to supply the two-seater gyroplanes to the military and relevant departments in need. The second step is to sell the two-seater gyroplanes to Heilongjiang."

Lin Kaifeng said so.

"Why not sell it to the Desert World? The Desert World is your old 'base'.

Wang Changsheng said curiously, "The last thing the desert world lacks is money. This novel and unique two-person rotorcraft will definitely attract the interest of many princes and nobles in the desert world."

"Lin Kaifeng smiled bitterly and said, "Minister, you have overlooked one issue. The desert nobles may buy it, but they will definitely not purchase it in large quantities."

"Firstly, the aircraft is rather crude in design and may not be appealing to them. Even if I repeatedly assure them that the two-seater gyroplane is unquestionably safe, they may not believe me."

"Secondly, most desert countries are oil-rich and have a lot of channels to buy weapons. They don't need such cheap and good things. When they buy things, they always buy the most expensive ones, not the best ones."

"Even if I talk my mouth off, they will only buy a few dozen planes symbolically, which is already a great favor to me. In the Black Continent, the situation is different. There is a fundamental difference between the Black Continent and the desert. One produces oil and the other produces minerals. Logically, they should both be wealthy places. However, the desert countries are relatively united. If anyone dares to touch their core interests, they will fight to the death with the enemy."

"The Black Continent region has long been a mess. It has a lot of mineral resources but no control over them. Due to various historical reasons, fighting is commonplace for them."

"When you see this two-person rotorcraft that can serve as the main force in war, you will definitely buy a lot of it even if you have to sell pants."

Lin Kaifeng made a vivid analogy. When the black guys in the Black Continent buy weapons, they always use whatever they have.

On the other hand, the rich people in the desert always buy the most expensive things, not the most correct ones.

"Hahaha, it's really unparalleled that you have achieved such success in business."

General Liu laughed uncontrollably.

"You are right. The rich people in the desert may not be interested in our high-quality and low-priced products."

"People are more willing to buy Western aircraft."

“Our small planes will only really attract attention if they reach the Third World.”

In order to extend their hands into the desert world and gradually control the oil here, the United States and the West have used their usual practices and pretended to offer warmth.

Relying on various small favors, we gradually build closer relations with various countries.

By using the method of boiling a frog in warm water, they allowed their own enterprises and capital to fully enter the desert world and regain control of oil.

The saying that it is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away is so fitting when applied to Western countries.

As long as the desert countries have demand, all types of weapons from Western countries can be sold to them.

In the eyes of Western countries, even if the desert countries are armed to the teeth, their combat effectiveness is just that.

Therefore, they have no worries that the modern weapons they sell to the desert countries may be used on themselves one day.

Even if this happens, Western countries have ways to solve it.

Through sanctions and technological blockades, the power of weapons has been greatly reduced.

After visiting the two-seater rotorcraft of the Northern Aircraft Manufacturing Company, General Liu, Wang Changsheng and Lin Kaifeng went to the office to rest.

Assistant Bai Ru acted as a waiter and prepared tea and cigarettes for the three people.

Then, Bai Ru politely left the office.

Wang Changsheng struck a match and lit a cigarette.

"We have almost collected the food supplies, and we have also prepared 100 million US dollars. Kaifeng, can you contact General Constantine and ask if the transaction can be carried out in advance?"

General Liu added: "The United States has verbally agreed to help us keep the secret, but you know the United States' consistent style. They say one thing and do another. Who knows when they will sell us out completely."

Lin Kaifeng understood what they meant immediately.

Fearing that things might get more complicated later, they tried to get the Su-27 fighter production line and related information into Longguo's hands as soon as possible.

Even if the United States reveals the matter, it will not have much impact on Long Country.

Seeing that Lin Kaifeng agreed immediately, General Liu said, "There is one more thing. See if you can get it done in advance."

At the last meeting, Lin Kaifeng mentioned in front of General Liu and a large number of aviation experts that in addition to advanced fighter jets such as the Su-27, the Soviet Union was also developing a new intercontinental bomber.

The maximum range is an astonishing 16,000 kilometers.

The combat radius is about 7,000 to 8,000 kilometers, and the bomb load is nearly 250 tons.

Compared with early warning aircraft, the intercontinental fighter secretly developed by the Soviet Union is more to the military's liking.
