040 Iran Compromise
Originally, Nazar wanted to launch an attack, but Qi Yiming turned it into a sales meeting. At this time, Nazar also knew China's tough stance, and it would be absolutely impossible to get them to spit out the dollars from their pockets.
Impossible. If China, which only knows money now, is tricked by Iran, it is very likely that it will retaliate against Iran at all costs as Qi Yiming said. If Iraq really receives a large amount of Chinese aid, it will still be unlucky.
Iranians themselves.
Although it did not achieve the results that Nazar had hoped for most, it was still a benefit to a certain extent.
However, in exchange for China's promise not to sell aviation weapons to Iraq, it would have to spend a large amount of money to purchase 30 Xiaolong fighter jets from China. What is gratifying is that China's delivery speed is very fast and will not
Like ordinary military procurement, it may take many years from ordering to final delivery. Basically, delivery can be completed naturally within a few months.
In the end, Nazar only said that he would report the situation to the country and did not leave any comments. Obviously, this Persian with no grace was very dissatisfied with Qi Yiming's intimidation towards him.
Qi Yiming didn't care if he hated him. He was an ordinary envoy abroad, and he was still on the Tu family's own territory, so he couldn't make any big waves.
Liao Huairen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he followed Qi Yiming out of the Iranian Embassy, but he felt as good as eating shaved ice in the summer. In diplomatic situations, diplomats who are languid will not be liked by others, and diplomats who speak loudly are not liked by others.
It's admirable. Back then, when the Chinese diplomats were relatively poor and weak, they dealt with others in a hidden way. For example, some very small things, such as an American reporter seeing Premier Zhou using a Parker pen, making fun of the Chinese Prime Minister.
Using an American pen, the Prime Minister smiled and replied that it was a gift captured by the volunteer soldiers from the Korean battlefield. Another example is Comrade Xiaoping's visit to the United States. The US President asked him to allow Chinese people to freely enter and exit the country and immigrate to other countries freely. Comrade Xiaoping replied
, I throw 10 million people to you, do you dare to accept it?
Although Qi Yiming's tone was louder and more domineering, he also took a fancy to the Iranians' tough temperament. When doing diplomacy and negotiations, it is absolutely impossible to be afraid of losses, let alone look forward and backward. As far as Qi Yiming is concerned, he lost Iran.
The 70 Tomcats are definitely a huge blow, but Qi Yiming believes that he can bear this kind of blow. On the other hand, whether Iran, which has offended him, can withstand his thunderous wrath is another matter.
Whether they fully support Iraq or completely cut off arms trade with Iran, it will bring unpredictable and even devastating consequences to Iran's war situation. So the Iranians seem to be angry, but they are just like Qi Yiming.
Intimidation. It’s just that their threats were very weak. Qi Yiming refused to accept them, and then they threw them back to the Iranians, but the Iranians couldn’t take them.
Liao Huairen asked Qi Yiming: "The Hongqi-2B is our country's main anti-aircraft missile. It was just finalized and mass-produced last year, and our troops just got one battalion. If the Iranians really want to buy it, will we really sell it?"
Give it to them?”
Qi Yiming couldn't help but smile: "We have at least provided one brigade of Hongqi-9 air defense missile systems to the Air Force's missile force during this period. Naturally, it is impossible to keep things like Hongqi-2 in our hands. Hurry up.
Let’s take advantage of someone who wants to sell it cheaply. There is a huge gap in performance between it and the Hongqi-9.”
In fact, from a purely technical point of view, the combat capability of the Hongqi-2 is still stronger than the Sam-2 air defense missiles that are more common in this era, mainly due to its relatively strong anti-interference ability and larger size.
The later version of the Hongqi-2B has greater range and accuracy.
In fact, although the Hongqi-2 has been in production for a long time during this period, there are not many battalions of anti-aircraft missile units in the country. Compared with the huge scale of nearly 120 battalions equipped with various types of anti-aircraft missiles in later generations, the current missile unit has one battalion to fight against
There is little equipment, few launch vehicles, and the missiles are also quite backward. Because the homeland air defense mode currently built by Qi Yiming is mainly used as guidance missiles for fighter aircraft, the air defense missile force has not increased its production capacity at full capacity.
"Giving our current air defense missiles to the Iranians, the money in exchange is not the PLA's own military expenditure. I don't have the spare time to allocate the insufficient production plan to the production of Hongqi-2, which will not be used anymore.
On top of the weapon."
Liao Huairen said: "Isn't the FC-1 Xiaolong not equipped with our troops? You are still producing it."
Qi Yiming immediately retorted: "That is different. The production after Xiaolong will also be transferred to Chengfei. I will not continue to produce this. It is mainly to give our foreign trade fighters a good start and make
Advertising or something like that. In the future, we won’t be able to use weapons like Rhino tanks, Xiaolong fighter jets, and Hongqi-2 at home, but they are cheap, powerful, and cost-effective, so they are a pretty good choice for some other countries.”
"Well, you plan to sell thirty more Xiaolongs to Iran. How much will they cost?"
Qi Yiming chuckled and said: "This is real money, but compared to other fighters in the world, the price of Xiaolong is still very cheap, 8 million per plane. This is the price of flying away. If
Including personnel training, infrastructure construction, weapons procurement and follow-up maintenance, the cost is about US$10 million per aircraft."
Liao Huairen couldn't help but gasped: "That's 300 million US dollars?! It's really easy for you to make money."
He thought for a while and asked: "What are you going to do with the money you have earned?"
"Well, I haven't thought about it, but I can't keep it all in my hands. It doesn't look right. I plan to hand over 60% of the profits to the country, and the remaining 40% will be used for other construction of the base, including the purchase of F-
Let’s wait for the operational investment of a series of projects until 14.”
Liao Huairen breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Qi Yiming would use this opportunity to "grab" a lot of benefits, otherwise it would not look good in the eyes of interested people. As long as it was handed over to the country and used in a legitimate way, there wouldn't be many problems.
Qi Yiming himself is quite generous with money. Besides, there are not many places where he needs to spend money in this era, so he has never thought about getting some money from other places. Before time travel, he still had a
He had a small wish to become a rich man, but after time travel, he felt that these thoughts were all vain. The things he built could be more meaningful and valuable than the rich man's industry.
About half a week later, the Iranian embassy did not send anyone to see Qi Yiming. Instead, it directly sent them an application for purchasing weapons and a memorandum of understanding specifically banning the sale of Iraqi aviation weapons via fax. This must be
Iran had to compromise, but Nazar was ashamed to see Qi Yiming, or was still very dissatisfied with him, so he conveyed his opinions in this way.
However, even if it was faxed, he still had to sign what needed to be signed. As an ambassador to China, he could not avoid seeing Qi Yiming.
The new procurement application includes 30 FC-1 fighter jets and related weapons, plus 6 battalions of Hongqi-2 air defense missile systems. These are not all, Iran has also filled in some other needed equipment.
The list includes 100 122mm towed artillery pieces, 100 130mm towed artillery pieces, 250 classic Type 63 107mm rocket launchers, and 500 Hongying-5 shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles.
The entire list includes both advanced and backward products, with a total value of more than 400 million US dollars. It is another sweet and super big cake.
Except for FC-1, which is mainly produced by Qi Yiming, other equipment is produced by other military industrial enterprises. However, the FC-1 produced by Qi Yiming is the largest piece of business in terms of unit value.
Iran actually wanted to buy some of those MBT-1000 Rhino tanks sold to Iraq, but this time the bleeding was too severe. After squeezing his wallet and finding that there was not much money left, he had to give up temporarily.
With the end of this farcical incident, the first batch of F-14s transferred to China finally arrived at Dalian Port. From here, these F-14s will be handed over to the Shenyang Aircraft Group, which will be handled by them and Grumman engineers.
Work together to absorb and digest the technology, and upgrade new fighters based on this.
Originally, there was a dispute over who should land the F-14, but Chengdu Aircraft had already obtained the FC-1, which would be exported to countries all over the world. Next, they had to conquer the relevant technologies of the J-10;
XAC is also concentrating on copying the JH-7 and Y-20, as well as special aircraft developed on military and civilian platforms; Hongdu has already transformed and started to produce training aircraft platforms such as Shanying and Falcon; and Daxing
AVIC has also begun establishing new aircraft manufacturing plants to develop drone platforms.
Only Shen Fei is relatively lonely. Qi Yiming allocates tasks according to the actual conditions of his time. However, Shen Fei's role is quite special. He has a powerful nickname "Shen Hoy" that is resounding throughout the world.
Shenyang Aircraft Co., Ltd. thrived on the Flanker series after the 1990s. By constantly understanding this series of aircraft and adding some of its own creations, Shenyang Aircraft Company developed the J-11, J-11B, and J-11B aircraft.
-15 carrier-based aircraft, J-16 heavy-duty multi-purpose fighter and many other models. Later, the Falcon, a purely independently developed fifth-generation medium-sized fighter project, was launched. Of course, those who want to find fault can also say - why is this so?
Like the F-22?
Qi Yiming has not yet unlocked the development of the fifth-generation aircraft, and he does not want to directly throw out the Flanker family to attract the hatred of the furry bears, so Shen Fei is embarrassed. Fortunately, with the introduction of the F-14 Tomcat project, Shen Fei can
They continue their copycat business in another dimension. It’s just that this time the copycat target has changed from the Su-27 to the F-14.
Based solely on Shen Fei's own abilities, he has absolutely no ability to digest the corresponding technologies related to the F-14 in a short period of time and work on the upgrade work with Grumman people. So Qi Yiming sent a 160-person team
