Chapter 1104 Digging a pit for McDonnell

Since the Kuwaiti royal family has given face, Bao Zixuan has promised to help with coordination before. In addition, Datou still belongs to the Black Cloud Group, so of course he cannot leave at this time. It is also a good opportunity to take a good rest and sort out his thoughts. I have been very confused recently, and the future

Although we already have a direction on how to go, we are still a little worried. After all, what we want to do is too big. Success means a promising future, and even the richest man cannot afford the consequences of failure.

But now that we have reached this point, we must keep going. Giving up halfway is not Bao Zixuan's style. Maybe even he will look down on himself.

As for Kuwait, since it has been decided to do it, and the entire royal family has agreed, it must be struck while others are there. If the anger is relieved, things can easily happen. King Jaber finally convinced other royal members, and the opportunity must not be wasted.

.

McDonnell Douglas suddenly received a business negotiation from Kuwait. The meaning is very clear. It hopes to export 24 F-15 or F-18 fighter jets to Kuwait. It also said that the price is easy to negotiate, but the speed must be fast.

.

An order for 24 aircraft of one model is not a small amount; and it comes from a big player in the Middle East who is not short of money. McDonnell Douglas has no reason to refuse. But it is also very embarrassing to see that Kuwait actually wants F-15 and F-18 fighter jets.

These two models are the main fighters of the US military. Except for hardcore allies, other countries have not obtained export licenses. But I really want to make this money, after all, McDonnell Douglas is not in good condition. And little MacDonald knows,

Bao Zixuan is in Kuwait. He must be willing to help, otherwise the Kuwaiti military would not be able to only focus on the F-15 and F-18 fighter jets. You must know that the F-14 and F-16 fighter jets are also very good models, at least small

McDonald cannot guarantee that the fighter jets he produces are stronger than others.

Although I don’t want to, I still have to call Bao Zixuan. See if there is any room for coordination. It is very difficult to export these two aircraft to Kuwait. It’s okay to fool Kuwait, but it is impossible to fool Bao Zixuan. Just thinking

Let Bao Shaofu persuade the Kuwaiti royal family to see if they can change their mind.

After Bao Zixuan answered the phone, he said angrily: "Mike, I am in the Middle East now. If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, it will be difficult to convince myself not to beat you up next time we meet."

No matter who it is, being woken up at 3 a.m. would be uncomfortable. Of course, little Macdonald knows this, but time is tight; if he doesn't hurry up, he may not even be able to drink the soup.

Little McDonald apologized and said: "Bao, my friend. I know that you are in the Middle East. It should be your suggestion that Kuwait apply to McDonnell Douglas to purchase 24 F-15 or F-18 fighter jets; I express my opinion on this."

Thank you very much.”

"But McDonnell Douglas is no better than the Black Cloud Group. It wants to export the most advanced fighter jets to Arab countries in the Middle East; the military, Congress, and the White House will not approve it. Although these two fighters were developed by McDonnell Douglas, the military also invested in them in the early stage.

A huge amount of money has been spent. To sell it abroad, it must obtain the consent of the military, otherwise McDonnell Douglas, as a manufacturer, has nothing to do."

Of course I understand what it means, but what I want is this effect.

Bao Zixuan: "Isn't there money to be made? Or exporting 24 aircraft to Kuwait can threaten the national security of the United States. Or can Kuwait attack the U.S. mainland with just 24 fighter jets, or dare to attack U.S. troops stationed in the Middle East?"

"There is nothing to worry about. Heiyun Group has won many orders in Kuwait. Thinking that you are a good friend of mine, I strongly recommend McDonnell Douglas aircraft. Kuwait is willing to spend a lot of money."

"McDonnell Douglas can definitely add 3-5 layers of sales to Kuwait on the basis of the quotation of the US military. This is a real profit, why don't they do it? I don't know what McDonnell Douglas relies on to survive. If the company wants to grow bigger,

We must expand our business to the whole world.”

"The Middle East is the most profitable region, and I know this very well. It's up to you whether you want to make money or not. I can't help you with the rest. Customers spend money just hoping to get the most advanced and most effective weapons. It depends on how you think about it."

Little Macdonald wanted to say something else, but Bao Zixuan said this. He was really embarrassed to speak, after all, they also consider the interests of customers. And it is very rare to be able to recommend McDonnell Douglas immediately; it is definitely interesting.

When McDonnell Douglas applied to the military to export F-15 or F-18 fighter jets to Kuwait, it was directly rejected. There was not even a meeting to discuss it, because the officer responsible for the approval was Jewish. This made McDonnell Douglas very angry.

After all, hundreds of millions of dollars in profits were just around the corner. In addition, the company itself was short of money, and McDonald was really furious.

But Kuwait couldn't wait any longer and could only find other ways.

McDonnell Douglas suggested to the Kuwaiti military that the production capacity of these two fighter jets is insufficient, and the military does not agree to export to other countries. Therefore, it hopes that Kuwait can purchase F-4 Mirage II fighter jets; the price can be discussed.

King Jaber invited Bao Zixuan to the palace and presented McDonnell Douglas's recommendations. Although he knew a little about the American F-4 Phantom II fighter jet, he still wanted to hear the opinions of professionals.

When he heard McDonnell Douglas' alternative plan, Bao Zixuan was not polite at all; he said directly: "The F-4 fighter is an American two-seat, two-engine, all-weather, long-range, supersonic air defense interceptor or fighter-bomber."

"The F-4 fighter is a typical representative of the second-generation fighter. Its performance in all aspects is relatively balanced. It is not only good in air combat, but also has good ground attack capabilities. Its shortcomings are that the turning radius is too large, the maneuverability at high angles of attack is poor, and the high-altitude

The performance is slightly worse than that at ultra-low altitude, and the runway requirements are higher during takeoff and landing.”

"The aircraft was designed by the American McDonnell Douglas Company in 1956. The first prototype flew in May 1958. The production version was officially delivered to the Navy in October 1961 and entered service with the Air Force in November 1963.

, was the main fighter jet of the U.S. Air Force and Navy in the 1960s and 1970s. It participated in the Vietnam War and the Middle East War, and was also the performance aircraft of the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds Aerobatic Team."

"In fact, after the Korean War, air combat theory and fighter equipment and technology have made great progress. Before the Vietnam War, the mainstream fighter design ideas included the following points. It was believed that the high speed of the aircraft was the main factor in determining air superiority; it advocated the development of multiple

Purpose tactical fighter; advocates speed and long-distance air combat to win; must have a large range; can accept the decline in combat performance; ignores the role of cannon; does not attach importance to the role of pilots in air combat."

"Aircraft designers have developed second-generation fighter jets including the F-4 based on the above ideas. The maximum flying speed of this generation of aircraft is about Mach 2, and some even reach Mach 3. The avionics and weapon systems are

The performance has been greatly improved, with emphasis on ground attack capabilities and an obvious tendency to "larger". From its aviation

Judging from the level of air technology and aircraft performance, it has indeed been significantly improved and developed compared to the first generation fighter jets. However, in the Vietnam War and other local wars that began in the late 1960s, because the actual air combat combat methods were different from

There is a big difference from what was originally envisioned, and the use of the second-generation fighter jets is not ideal."

"The United States has stopped producing F-4 Phantom II fighter jets as early as 1979. Does McDonnell Douglas want to restart the production line? But it is not cost-effective to restart the production line for 24 fighter jets."

"And even if Kuwait bought it, it would not be of much use. After all, this fighter jet is outdated and not suitable for modern air combat."

"To give a simple example, assuming that the pilots are at the same level. The Israeli Air Force only needs to dispatch 6 F-15 fighter jets to destroy the 24 F-4 Phantom II fighter jets of the Kuwaiti Air Force. The Israeli Air Force's losses will not exceed

2, maybe even zero casualties.”

"The F-15 fighter jet can destroy targets 100 kilometers away, but the F-4 fighter jet can only get close to 20 kilometers or even closer to destroy the target. The design concepts of the two fighter jets are completely different by an era. Buy this classic aircraft

Coming back is not suitable for the Kuwait Air Force."

"Of course, if the price is right, it can be used as a trainer or target aircraft. After all, compared to the tens of millions of dollars quoted for the F-15 fighter jet; the F-4 Phantom II fighter jet was quoted to the U.S. Air Force for just over 2 million U.S. dollars. And it's not at all

You don’t need to buy from McDonnell Douglas. There is a large inventory at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona. I have a good relationship with the administrator. If the Kuwaiti military is interested, you can go directly to buy it. It will never exceed 100.

Thousands of dollars.”

"If US$500,000 is invested in rectification, it is guaranteed to be able to perform combat missions."

After hearing what Bao Zixuan said, several important members of the Kuwaiti royal family looked very ugly.

McDonnell Douglas is really good at calculating. Are the Kuwaiti people really that stupid? Even if they let us use the aircraft designed 30 years ago, they still want to sell it at a high price. Each aircraft is quoted at more than 6 million US dollars, and the Kuwaitis are still like this

So easy to deceive.
