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

Two days later.

The Xinhan weapons bidding meeting officially began.

Each arms company submitted its own project promotion documents. As for whether Xinhan would choose them, it depends on the attractiveness of their promotion books.

When these promotion books reached Xiao Yunhai, two more days had passed.

"Your Highness, these are some weapons and equipment and quantities selected by the military."

Ding Lingfeng handed several promotion books in his hand to Xiao Yunhai.

Hearing this, Xiao Yunhai reached out to take it.

It was the offer submitted by Boeing's McDonnell Douglas for the F15K fighter.

Wow.

The price has risen to 120 million US dollars per aircraft, which is nearly 200,000 US dollars more expensive than before.

This does not include ammunition and spare engines.

Although he complained that the Americans sold it at a high price, he also knew that Boeing sold so much because of the "friendship" between the two countries.

Otherwise, the price will probably go up a lot.

You should know that the F15SA purchased by Shaluotuo cost a full $300 million per aircraft.

In comparison, this $120 million is much cheaper.

Shaluotuo's F15SA version is mainly because of the redesigned model. Xinhan bought F-15K, which was equipped by South Korea in the early stage.

Xinhan bought it, which is equivalent to a mass-produced model. Once it is mass-produced, the cost will naturally drop.

"Forget about 36 aircraft. Cut it down to 24, just enough to form two flight squadrons."

After seeing that the Air Force wanted to order 36 aircraft, Xiao Yunhai rejected it.

Including spare engines and parts, the cost price of 24 is at least 3 billion US dollars. If 36 aircraft are purchased, it will be close to 5 billion US dollars, which directly accounts for half of it. He also wanted to buy some good things for the army.

Besides, with 24 F15Ks, plus the existing 40 F15K and F15E fighters of New Han, the long-range strike capability is already 64, which is enough.

Besides, this time we will order 35 White Crane fighters from the Star Navy Factory (an additional 17).

Total New Han has 64 F15K and F15E fighters, 72 White Crane fighters, and 24 F35A stealth fighters, a total of 160 fighters.

This number is at least in the top 20 in the world, if not the top ten.

And all of them are fourth-generation aircraft or above, not those fighters that are just for show.

Propeller fighters like the 22 A-29 "Super Tucano" can only maintain patrols or provide fire support to the ground after the outbreak of war in the New Han Air Force sequence, and are not included in the mainstream fighter sequence.

This number is the highest in Southeast Asia.

After hearing Xiao Yunhai say that the number of F15s was reduced from 36 to 24, Ding Lingfeng quickly recorded it.

Turn to the back and you will see the price of Apache helicopters.

Two models.

An AH-64D, also known as the Longbow Apache helicopter.

A world-famous helicopter, known for its durability and stable performance.

The latter is an upgraded version launched by Boeing, namely AH-64E, also known as "Apache Guardian".

The price of the former is 79 million US dollars, and the price of the latter is 86 million US dollars.

This price is cheaper than Boeing's sale to South Korea and Shaluo.

It is much cheaper than the original sale to Java.

In 2011, Java ordered 8 AH-64Ds from the United States, with a unit price of 177 million US dollars.

It can be seen that for the same armed helicopter, the Americans directly double standards when selling weapons.

However, in the words of many people, it is good to be able to sell it to you.

What I am afraid of is that you will not sell it to you even if you pay.

Just like the Argentine country, you can't buy fighter jets even if you pay.

No way, no one wants to offend the United States and Britain.

Including Longguo and Mao Xiong at this time.

Although Europe and the United States are now imposing sanctions on Mao Xiong, Mao Xiong does not want to completely break up with Europe and the United States, and still has illusions.

Hope to ease the relationship and let Mao Xiong join the group.

Harvest the world together.

However, the United States needs to create a powerful enemy.

This will make Europe feel a sense of urgency.

And then it will be easier to station troops in Europe.

Maintain the hegemony of the United States.

At the same time, sell arms.

Think about it, if Mao Xiong joins the group, Europe will have no enemies, and the demand for military power will decrease.

Then what weapons will the United States sell?

And if Mao Xiong comes in, won’t the United States lose its right to speak in NATO?

So, as long as the United States is there, Europe is destined not to play with Mao Xiong.

Unless they have a complete falling out, Putin will not sell weapons to Atin.

"For the Apache E model, follow the Army's plan and purchase 24."

"Why don't I see the CH-53?"

Turn to the back and only see the CH-47 Chinook, not the CH-53.

"Your Highness, I have already consulted Boeing about this, and they said that the CH-53 helicopter is not for sale and cannot be exported to us."

Hearing this, Xiao Yunhai frowned.

Compared to the CH-47 Chinook, he wanted to buy the CH-53 Sea Stallion heavy transport helicopter more.

Unfortunately, they don't sell it.

No choice, so he had to settle for the next best thing and choose the CH-47.

This time, the model Boeing handed over was the CH-47F, an improved version of the CH-47D.

According to the description on the atlas, the changes are quite large.

It adopts a series of facilities such as a new rotor hub, T55-714A shaft engine, extended-range fuel tank system, glass cockpit and avionics, which is basically equivalent to a core change.

Improve the maneuverability of the helicopter while avoiding fuselage overload.

This model is basically NATOThe model used by the group.

The price Boeing offered was $93 million per aircraft.

This price is quite fair, slightly more expensive than the price within NATO, but much cheaper than other countries.

Years ago, it was reported that White Elephant purchased 15 CH-47Fs from the United States, with an order amount of $1.5 billion, almost $100 million per aircraft.

White Elephant's strategic position is not as important as New Han.

Winning over New Han is equivalent to controlling the Strait of Malacca and the entire East Asian and Southeast Asian routes.

The United States wins over White Elephant in the hope that White Elephant can contain Longguo, and even instigate White Elephant to attack Longguo, but everyone knows that White Elephant is a fence-sitter and is not reliable at all.

And it has an ambiguous and close relationship with the US's mortal enemy, the Russian Bear. (To read the exciting novels, go to Flylu Novel Network!)

Although Xinhan is also a fence-sitter, it is definitely an enemy of the Russian Bear.

The key is that Xinhan is rich.

Its combat power plays an absolute deterrent role in Southeast Asia.

And with a small population and abundant resources, it is exactly the perfect ally that the United States wants to find.

Just like the countries such as the Camel and the Emirates in the Middle East.

In addition, Xinhan's economy is now booming, with a total economic output of 1.97 trillion US dollars,

comparable to the Russian Bear.

Such a large economy naturally needs to be won over to consolidate the hegemony of the US dollar.

"Purchase 20 CH-47E and form two transport squadrons."

After thinking for a while, Xiao Yunhai said to Ding Lingfeng in front of him.

"Okay!"

Ding Lingfeng quickly wrote it down.

"How much has been spent?"

"Your Highness, according to the number you just read, the order amount is about more than 6.9 billion US dollars." []

Ding Lingfeng calculated and replied.

"Hmm~~"

Xiao Yunhai nodded slightly.

The budget is 10.7 billion US dollars (27 billion Chinese yuan), plus the sale of second-hand fighters and tanks this time, the total procurement budget this year is more than 11.6 billion US dollars.

This means that there are more than 4.7 billion US dollars left, which can be used for other equipment of the army.

Pick up the albums of several other arms companies.

Italy Iveco Arms Company, the weapon promoted is the Centaur 2 wheeled assault gun, which is known as the most advanced assault gun in the world, equipped with a 120mm direct-fire gun, capable of attacking third-generation main battle tanks.

It's just that the price is too expensive.

The unit price is 11 million US dollars.

For this price, he might as well buy two main battle tanks.

At least the main battle tanks have much better protection than this wheeled assault gun.

So he just passed it.

If it was more than 4 million US dollars, he would consider buying some as equipment for medium-sized combined brigades.

Next, it was the German military industry enterprise album.

The recommended weapons were the "Weasel" infantry fighting vehicle and the "Boxer" armored vehicle.

BeforeXiao Yunhai doesn't like the latter because it's too expensive.

The Germans' stuff looks exquisite and has good aesthetics, but it's too expensive.

And the weapons are too rubbish, just a remote-controlled 12.7mm machine gun, what's the use?

Of course, there are multiple models of Boxer.

But Germany submitted this recommendation with this firepower.

It can still be used to maintain public order.

And it costs more than 800 US dollars per vehicle.

He will only buy it if he gets kicked in the head by a donkey.

South Korea also submitted a project recommendation, recommending their K21 infantry fighting vehicle, K2 main battle tank, and K9 self-propelled howitzer. The price is cheap, especially the K21 infantry fighting vehicle, which costs 3.5 million US dollars per unit. However, Xiao Yunhai is skeptical about its firepower, reliability and protection capabilities.

South Korea is a country known for boasting.

Also, he remembered that when this tank was released, it seemed to have reported defects and was rejected by the South Korean Army. Weapons rejected by their own army must not be good stuff.

After passing South Korea, the only one left was Longguo Northern Industry.

There are many products recommended, including anti-aircraft weapons, wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, tanks, etc.

However, the former Xinhan has bought all of them.

As for the armored weapons of the army, don’t rush to confirm them. ”

“Let’s talk about what I just said with major arms companies and see if we can lower the price.” Xiao Yunhai said.

Although Xinhan has money, it would be best if it could be cheaper.

“Yes!”

(Ps: Request custom order! Go for it).
