I, the super rich crown prince, will build the richest country

Chapter 111

Leave the ground.

The Bifang helicopter rises vertically.

Gradually getting higher and higher from the ground.

Ground.

The camel nobles were completely excited at this time.

"God, it really took off successfully."

"It's amazing."

"It flew, it really flew."

In fact, before coming, they were skeptical.

After all, they had never heard that Xinhan had developed a helicopter before.

And it was purchased in the United States before.

Now suddenly saying that a new type of helicopter has been developed, which is more advanced than the current US military helicopters, this is somewhat difficult for them to believe.

However, the reality is that they are not bragging, they really fly.

At this time, the "Bifang" rotor helicopter in the sky flew to a height of hundreds of meters and began to change. The two engines that were originally standing up slowly lowered and parallel to the fuselage, and flew forward under the power of the power.

It can fly as fast as the V-22 Osprey.

There was already applause below.

"Mr. Xia, this aircraft is so cool? How much is it for? We want it from Camel."

Tamim Al-Thani said excitedly.

With this armed helicopter, Camel will become the most handsome guy in the Middle East and one of the few countries in the world equipped with tilt-rotor helicopters.

Xia Qiming smiled when he heard this: "Mr. Tamim, this helicopter needs to be approved by the cabinet before it can be exported. It cannot be sold without authorization. Moreover, our military has placed an order. Even if your country places an order, it will not be able to get the goods in a short time."

"And the price is very expensive, with a price of $100 million."

The cost is only $28 million, and this is still a prototype. If it is really mass-produced, the cost can be reduced. It is estimated that the cost of a "Bifang" tilt-rotor helicopter is $25 million.

This is already a high cost calculation.

If optimistic, the cost price will not even reach 25 million US dollars.

100 million US dollars per aircraft, this price is not cheap, only less than 20 million US dollars cheaper than the US V-22 Osprey helicopter.

And the V-22 Osprey is obviously much larger.

The Osprey can accommodate 20-30 people without the crew.

The "Bifang" tilt-rotor helicopter can only accommodate 14 at most without the crew.

It is much smaller in size.

However, the avionics equipment and other electronic instruments are better than the V-22 Osprey.

And the flight distance is much better than the V22 Osprey, with a maximum range of 4,973,900 kilometers, while the Osprey can only fly 1,628 kilometers.

The speed is also much faster.

It can reach 560 kilometers per hour.

The most important thing is that the V22 Osprey can only be purchased by NATO countries or countries that have a particularly good relationship with the United States.

Otherwise, even if you have money, I will not sell it to you.You.

Besides, NATO doesn’t sell to you just because they want to buy. It depends on the relationship.

I heard that it costs $100 million per aircraft.

Tamim Al Thani didn’t care: “Mr. Xia, regarding the export issue, I believe that with the relationship between our Camel and your country, we will be happy to reach an export agreement.”

“Also, we are not in a hurry. You just need to satisfy your country’s orders first, and then produce and deliver them.”

“In addition, to show my sincerity, I can give you an extra $10 million per aircraft and order one at a time.”

Although Camel’s GDP is only more than $160 billion, it has a small population and a per capita GDP of more than $90,000. It can be said to be a truly wealthy country.

Even the Emirates has to admit defeat.

Xia Qiming’s mouth twitched slightly.

Sure enough, it is a wealthy country. It wants to order 40 aircraft without blinking an eye.

And for fear that it will not sell, it adds $10 million to each aircraft.

Where can you find such a tyrannical customer?

Xia Qiming readily agreed: "As long as the cabinet approves the export to your country, I am happy to reach this agreement with your country."

Such a large order.

And the profit is so high, only a fool would not do it.

Seeing Xia Qiming agreed, Tamim Al-Thani showed a happy look on his face.

With this good start, Tamim Al-Thani set his sights on Bell 360, the "Zhongming Bird" stealth armed helicopter.

"Xia, I think your helicopter is pretty good, I like it very much, name a price, I want to buy dozens of them back."

Tamim Al-Thani looked at the helicopter in front of him with interest.

Xia Qiming heard this and said, "Mr. Crown Prince, this is a high-speed armed reconnaissance helicopter, which is mainly used for special operations and to provide fire support and reconnaissance for ground forces. Is your country sure you want it?"

"Well, let's talk about the price first. As long as it's not expensive, I'll buy some to play with."

Tamim Al Thani nodded.

Buy it to play with?

Good guy.

If you have money, you can do whatever you want.

Buy an armed helicopter (cdcb) to play with, so awesome!

What Xia Qiming didn't know was that for a country like Kazakhstan, it just likes to show off its wealth.

Otherwise, Kazakhstan would not be said to be the country that likes to show off its wealth the most in the Middle East.

With a per capita GDP of more than 90,000 US dollars, it is indeed qualified to show off its wealth.

"The price is not cheap, 87 million US dollars per unit, not counting ammunition, missiles and rockets."

The cost price is less than 20 million US dollars, even after it is equipped with Hellfire missiles and rockets.

Tamim Al-Thani frowned, obviously the price exceeded his expectations.

For this price, you can buy the Apache, which is known as the most powerful armed helicopter on the surface.

"How much are the missiles and rockets?"

"Equipped with anti-tank missiles, each costs $80,000, and rockets are cheap, costing $2,000 each. ”

Ammunition is priced at a reasonable price, not too high.

Take anti-tank missiles for example. When the US bundled them with Apaches, each missile reached 100,000 to 150,000 US dollars.

Xinghai provided the improved Hellfire anti-tank missiles, which also used radar and laser guidance. The speed was greatly improved from the original 1.3 Mach to 1.5 Mach, and the maximum range was increased from the original 8 kilometers to 10 kilometers.

A very reasonable price.

Compared with the Americans, Xinghai is undoubtedly too affordable.

There is no way. If it is sold too high, people will not buy it.

Or only a few countries are willing to buy it, and it is difficult to open up the international market.

After all, the act of purchasing weapons is more often a continuation of politics.

Tamim Al-Thani was a little undecided whether to buy it, mainly because they had just purchased dozens of armed helicopters for Camel last year.

"What do you think? Do you want to buy it? ”

Tamim Al Thani asked the accompanying personnel.

“Your Highness, just buy a few. Their system cannot be connected with our existing combat command system, which is not conducive to forming a system combat.”

“I also agree to buy a few less, just as a trial, and it will not be too late to buy a large number if there is a real need in the future.”

“I agree with what they said. ”

The representatives of Camel are inclined to buy a few.

To be honest, they value Apache more. Although the unit price of Apache is as high as 100 million US dollars, the key firepower is strong enough.

And this stealth armed reconnaissance helicopter of Xinhan does look good, but how much ammunition can this small body hold?

In addition, it was previously equipped with European and American weapons. If it rashly replaced with weapons and equipment from other countries, it would be worried that it would not be able to integrate into the combat command system.

Tamim Al-Thani thought for a while and decided to follow the advice of everyone. He decided: "Mr. Xia, the price of this armed helicopter is too high. In this way, I will buy 6 to support the development of your company."

Wu Qiming nodded slightly: "Okay!"

"What about anti-tank missiles? Do you need rockets?"

"200 anti-tank missiles and more rockets, 5,000. "Tamim Al-Thani thought for a while and said.

"OK, no problem!"

Wu Qiming immediately said no problem and agreed very readily.

"By the way, how much do you sell your attack drone called the Sparrow?"

Tamim Al-Thani remembered that he had seen that drone at the defense exhibition before, and thought it was very good for enhancing the army's combat capability.

Ka Camel is just a peninsula country.

The population is small.

The land area is also small.

This has led to Ka Camel only being able to take the elite route.

By purchasing various advanced weapons to improve combat effectiveness.

It can be said that Ka Camel's human lives are more important than weapons.

"150,000 dollars for each one. If you buy in bulk, 1,000 at a time, you can get a discount of 4,500 dollars per one. ”

“Then let’s buy 2,000.”

“No need for discounts, just give away 50,000 special grenades.”

“Sure, no problem. ” (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Wu Qiming readily agreed.

The grenade is only a few dozen dollars, and the cost price is only 5 dollars.

50,000 pieces, the cost is only 250,000 dollars.

The drone is not discounted, which means that each drone earns an extra 5,000 dollars.

2,000 drones.

Equivalent to an extra 10 million dollars.

How could he not agree to such a good thing.

After the price and quantity were agreed, Kalutuo proposed to sign a contract on the same day and paid a 50% deposit readily, as if he was afraid that the sale would not be made.

And this is just Kalutuo's family.

After sending Kalutuo away, people from Shalutuo also visited, and even Longguo sent representatives to purchase the "Bifang" tilt-twin rotor helicopter.

And this.

The Xinhan military is also in talks with several arms companies in Longguo.

Xiao Yunhai also attended this meeting. After all, he is the director of the Military Equipment Bureau, and purchasing equipment is part of his responsibilities.

The procurement projects are mainly 155mm truck guns and A200 rocket launchers, Wei N1 wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, ST-1 wheeled assault guns, and FK-1000 short-range field air defense systems.

There is no need to purchase tanks. []

These equipments can form a combined brigade with the existing tanks and drones of the Xinhan Army.

And it is a heavy-duty combined brigade.

Xing Tianming took out the purchase quantity that had been negotiated before and handed it to several arms companies in Longguo.

"This is the number of weapons we plan to purchase and the corresponding prices. Please consider it. "

Hearing this, Lei Weidong and others took the list and looked at it.

108 155mm truck guns, 20,000 rounds of ammunition

54 A200 rocket launchers, 10,000 rounds of ammunition.

600 Wei N1 wheeled infantry fighting vehicles.

108 ST-1 wheeled assault guns, 10,000 rounds of ammunition

6 sets of FK-1000 short-range field air defense systems, 720 surface-to-air missiles.

1 billion rounds of various types of bullets.

Basically according to the configuration of six synthetic brigades Buying.

The Guardian 2D rocket launcher was eventually cancelled.

Price issue.

Too expensive, and not precision-guided.

After consideration, the cheaper A200 rocket launcher was finally chosen, with a maximum range of 300 kilometers.

And it is precision-guided.

Even the inertial guidance error range is only 20 meters.

Smaller than the Guardian 2D.

Used as field firepower.

200 kilometers is not much different from 480 kilometers.

The 480 kilometers are more for tactical strikes.

What he needs is to enhance the army's offensive capabilities.

Of course, the most important issue is the cost-effectiveness.

After Lei Weidong and his companions read it, their eyes widened and they took a breath.

One 155mm truck gun costs $2.55 million, and 108 guns cost $275 million.

One shell costs $10,000, and 20,000 shells cost $200 million.

One A200 rocket launcher costs $1.65 million, and 54 is close to $90 million.

There are two types of shells with precision guidance, $65,000, and 10,000 shells cost $650 million.

One Wei N1 wheeled infantry fighting vehicle costs $1.85 million, and 600 vehicles cost $1.11 billion.

Each ST-1 wheeled assault gun costs $1.72 million, and 108 vehicles cost $185 million.

Each shell costs $10,000, and 10,000 shells means $100 million.

One set of FK-1000 short-range field air defense system (including one control vehicle, six launch vehicles, three transport and loading vehicles, and one test and spare parts vehicle) costs $5 million, and six sets cost $30 million.

KS1000 air defense missiles are very cheap, imitating the Russian bear, with a range of only 10 kilometers, one missile costs $35,000, and 720 missiles only cost $25.2 million.

Including various bullets, the total price reaches $2.7 billion.

The price is roughly the same as their budget, or the psychological price.

Hand the list to several other companies.

"Take a look, there is no problem here." Radar Dong said.

The other Longguo military industrial enterprises looked at the prices and quantities of their weapons lists.

"No problem on my side."

"No problem at our precision instrument company either."

"..."

Several people shook their heads, indicating that there was no problem.

The price was not cut too much.

Besides, the quantity that Xinhan wanted this time was indeed quite large.

It can be said that Xinhan is now the largest military trade customer of Longguo.

It was no problem to see several people, Lei Weidong said to Xiao Yunhai who was sitting opposite: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, we have no objection."

"Okay, that's straightforward!"

Xiao Yunhai said: "I hope this batch of arms can be delivered as soon as possible, preferably within half a year."

Half a year?

Lei Weidong didn't expect the other party to be so urgent.

After thinking about it, it can be done in half a year.

"Okay!"

"OK!"

Xiao Yunhai said: "Since there are no problems, let's sign the contract."

Waving his hand, Xiao Yunhai asked someone to bring the contract over.

After both parties confirmed that there were no problems, they signed their names.

"Happy cooperation."

Xiao Yunhai stretched out his hand.
