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

Although the purchase of ground armored forces has not been finalized, Xiao Yunhai is still quite interested in Longguo's air defense system, which is synonymous with good quality and low price.

When he bought the Patriot 3 air defense missile system before, he was treated as a sucker and bought more than 10 sets at a price of US$800 million per set.

The range is only 50 kilometers, the maximum interception altitude is 20 kilometers, and the speed is Mach 5.

It was previously rumored that Husky in the Middle East ordered FD-2000B (H-9B) from Longguo, and one set was only US$280 million, which is nearly 3 times cheaper than the Patriot 3 air defense missile system.

And the performance is better than the Patriot 3 air defense missile.

The range is 125 kilometers, the maximum interception altitude is 30 kilometers, and the speed is Mach 6.

It uses active radar.

It also uses phased array radar.

Its performance is not inferior to the S-300 of the Russian bear.

But the Russian electronics industry is notoriously weak.

Even if the range is ahead, Xiao Yunhai doubts whether the Russian radar is as powerful as it is boasted.

And the Russian S300 is not cheap.

That is to say, one set of Patriot 3 air defense missiles can buy three sets of FD-2000B.

This is still the purchase cost. The future use costs, such as missiles, are all cheaper than those of the Americans.

There was no choice before.

For economic development, Xinhan must rely on the Americans.

It is different now.

Things are different now.

Xinhan is now strong enough to make powerful countries dare not act rashly.

It is not the country that could be easily controlled before.

So, this time he plans to purchase the Longguo air defense missile system.

After all, where can you find such a good quality and low price.

As for why not develop it yourself.

There are too many research projects at the Military Research Institute now, and the main targets are nuclear submarines, stealth fighters, satellites, rockets, intercontinental missiles, main battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, air-to-air missiles, armored vehicles and other major weapons and equipment.

It is impossible to study everything like Longguo.

There are at least one or two million people in Longguo who are engaged in military industry.

How many are there in Xinhan?

Xinhan has only more than 20,000 people who are actually engaged in research and development.

So there is no comparison, and we can only focus on the field of high-tech and core weapons.

The news that Xinhan wants to purchase H-9B (FD-2000B), H-22 (FK-3) and H-16 (LY-80) soon spread to Longguo, and it immediately attracted attention.

This is a big order.

And Xinhan is a long-term buyer of Longguo's military exports.

In recent years, we have purchased weapons worth nearly 20 billion US dollars from Longguo.

Buy more than Baba sheep.

Add to that the strategic importance of Xinhan and the fact that they are both Chinese countries, so they quickly reported to the leader.

Ask whether export is allowed.

After all, this involves the export of sensitive military weapons.

Especially FD-2000B, which is the export version of Longguo H-9B.

Obviously it has been allowed.

After all, even Husky can be exported, so there is no reason why it cannot be exported to Xinhan.

However, Xinhan requires a range of 200 kilometers, which is different from the export of Husky.

After getting the export permission, the Science and Industry Group quickly contacted the Xinhan Military Equipment Bureau and sent the quotation.

Ding Lingfeng also reported to Xiao Yunhai as soon as possible.

"FD-2000B, $280 million per battalion, each battalion is equipped with 1 command vehicle, 4 communication and maintenance vehicles, 1 missile control vehicle, 1 target radar illumination vehicle, 1 search radar vehicle and 8 missile launch vehicles, which can simultaneously launch 32 air defense missiles with a range of 200 kilometers and a speed of Mach 6.

In addition, there are 32 spare missiles."

"FK-3 air defense missile system, with a range of 100 kilometers, a speed of Mach 6, and a range altitude of 27 kilometers... The price of each battalion is $110 million."

"In addition, the LY-80 air defense missile system is the cheapest, at $53 million per battalion."

When Xiao Yunhai heard that the final offer for the LY-80 air defense missile system was only $53 million, his eyes lit up.

"Finally, what is the range of this LY-80 air defense missile system? Is it the H-16 we requested before?"

"Your Highness, according to the information they handed over, this air defense missile is indeed H-16, but the range is only 40 kilometers."

"40 kilometers is not bad, almost the same as the Patriot 3 we are using now, only 10 kilometers away."

When Xiao Yunhai thought about the fact that he bought more than a dozen Patriot 3 air defense missile systems at a unit price of 800 million US dollars per set, he couldn't help cursing the Americans in his heart.

But then again, even if he was asked to go back a few years ago, he would still choose to buy it.

To put it bluntly, what he bought was not weapons, but protection and economy.

Without the military orders worth tens of billions of dollars, Xinhan's economy would not have developed to the current level.

So from another perspective, it is worth it.

But from a military perspective, it is obviously a big loss.

"For FD-2000B, buy 12 battalions and form 2 long-range air defense missile brigades."

"For FK-3, buy 12 battalions."

"For LY-80, you can buy more and deploy them in important places such as steel mills, ports, oil and gas."

"In this way, buy 18 battalions of LY-80 air defense missile system and form 3 air defense missile brigades."

After thinking for a while, Xiao Yunhai said the purchase number in his mind.

FD-2000B is a long-range air defense missile system with a range of 200 kilometers. It is mainly used to intercept ballistic missiles, stealth fighters and other heavy weapons.Targets of high value.

Helicopters, cruise missiles, ordinary fighters, etc. are intercepted by the FK-3 medium- and long-range air defense missile system.

The latter model provided by Longguo has an interception range of 100 kilometers and a speed of Mach 6.

Each interceptor missile costs $200,000.

The interceptor missile of the FD-2000B air defense missile system costs $1 million.

The price is several times more expensive.

The LY-80 air defense missile system has a range of 40 kilometers and a speed of 4 Hertz, and each interceptor missile costs $80,000.

The latter is used to intercept targets within 40 kilometers.

If all FD-2000Bs are used to intercept targets, even if Xinhan is rich, it will not be able to withstand the consumption.

Choosing FD-2000B, FK-3, and LY-80, such a high-low-medium combination is the most reasonable.

Otherwise, why did Longguo develop so many air defense missiles with different ranges? It is nothing more than wanting to reduce the cost of air defense and achieve the ideal effect at the lowest price.

Moreover, purchasing these three air defense systems from Longguo can also be networked to form an air defense missile system network.

In this way, Xinhan has two air defense systems.

As for field air defense systems, there are more.

The Avenger field air defense system provided by the US military, the "Tengu" field air defense system developed by Xinhan, and the FK-1000 air defense system of Longguo.

Field air defense is assigned to the front-line field troops. It doesn't matter if there are more types. Anyway, there is no need to network.

But the three types of air defense systems, short, medium and long range, are best to be a system.

Given that the price of the US Patriot 3 is so high, it will definitely not be purchased again in the future. Therefore, from a long-term perspective, Longguo is more suitable, with good quality and low price, which obviously meets the combat needs of Xinhan.

Ding Lingfeng's scalp went numb when he heard the numbers Xiao Yunhai read out.

42 missile battalions.

According to the calculation of 6 battalions in 1 missile brigade, it is equivalent to forming 7 missile brigades.

The total cost is as high as 5.634 billion US dollars.

And this does not include the purchase of additional interceptor missiles. If thousands of additional interceptor missiles are purchased, it will be a considerable expense.

Forget about the money.

The key is that there are not so many people to operate it.

"Your Highness, this is a bit too much? This adds up to nearly 5.7 billion US dollars, which is far more than this year's military budget."

"In addition, forming 42 missile battalions at once requires a large number of technicians. I'm afraid the army doesn't have so many people."

Ding Lingfeng spoke in a tactful tone and looked at Xiao Yunhai cautiously. (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

"Overspending?"

"Yes, it is."

"It's fine if it's overspending." Xiao Yunhai didn't care. Spending more money to build an air defense system is also to ensure that the country achieves economic results.

Besides, the government's treasury is now full of funds and there is no debt, so what is there to worry about.

"Just do as I say."

"We also need to buy interceptor missiles."

"Just buy 200 more FD-2000B interceptor missiles as backup."

"We can buy more FK-3 and LY-80 interceptor missiles. These two air defense missile systems will be used as the main air defense interception in the future. Buy 800 of the former and 1,000 of the latter. No, buy 3,000. Including our previous Patriot 3, there should be 4,000 air defense missiles in total, enough to deal with various crises."

(2,000 does not include field air defense missiles and man-portable air defense missiles.)

Ding Lingfeng: "..."

He really wanted to ask, is it necessary to buy so many?

Among the surrounding countries, does anyone dare to take the initiative to deal with Xinhan?

However, he is not Xiao Yunhai, and he is not clear about the future trend of the situation, let alone the pressure Xinhan will face in the future.

Besides, the price is so cheap, if you don’t buy more now, you will lose money if the price goes up in the future.

One anti-aircraft missile with a range of 40 kilometers and a speed of 4 Hertz costs only 80,000 US dollars. It is so cheap that it is cheaper than Shinhan’s own production. If you don’t buy more now, what else can you buy? []

Even if there are 3,000 missiles, it is only 2.4 US dollars.

It is simply a great value.

Xiao Yunhai ignored what Ding Lingfeng was thinking and continued to read: "You don't need to worry about the personnel issue, I will solve it, you just need to be responsible for the procurement."

"As for the money, you can first withdraw part of the 10 billion Han Yuan military expenditure from domestic procurement."

"I will contact the finance department and increase the military budget by an additional 10 billion Han Yuan this year to support national defense construction..."

An additional expenditure of 10 billion Han Yuan, for the Xinhan government with a treasury fund of 144 million Han Yuan, let alone an additional expenditure of 10 billion Han Yuan, even 100 billion Han Yuan can be easily taken out.

Looking at the world, Xinhan is the only one.

Whether it is the United States, Britain, Singapore, or the government of most countries in the world, none of them is not in debt.

Long's main debt is still due to local debt problems.

Let’s take a step back and say that the Xinhan government is really out of money. Let’s not talk about royal subsidies. Let’s directly divide the area and develop real estate. Buying a house will give citizenship, and ensure that a large number of people from all over the world will come to buy a house.

Just like Hong Kong in Longguo.

If the economy is not vibrant, relax the threshold for naturalization, and buy a house to immigrate to Hong Kong.

Following a similar logic.

If Xinhan develops real estate, it will definitely be more attractive than Hong Kong.

After all, medical and tourism resources, as well as men being able to marry multiple women, such a policy is too attractive to men.

However, Xiao Yunhai does not want to engage in real estate.

Raising housing prices will lead to a decline in residents’ consumption capacity, and even affect his previous plan to develop the manufacturing industry.

So, this is why he insisted on selling commercial housing only to foreign citizens.

If the houses of domestic citizens are not big enough to live in, they can either be demolished and rebuilt, and the government will provide loans with interest rates below 1%.

Or they can rent low-rent houses built by the government.

So that domestic residents do not have to bear mortgages.

After hearing that he does not need to take care of personnel and the fiscal budget will not allocate an additional 10 billion yuan for military expenses, what else can he say?

The two chatted for a while, and Ding Lingfeng left.

Three days later.

The official website of the Xinhan Military Equipment Bureau released two weapons procurement contracts.

The first one is that Longguo ordered 24 F15K fighters, 24 AH-64E armed helicopters and 20 CH-47E helicopters and related supporting parts and personnel training and maintenance from the United States, with a total amount of US$6.9 billion.

The second one is that Xinhan purchased 42 air defense missile systems and spare missiles from Longguo, with a total order amount of US$6.2 billion.

The two pieces of news were released by some military media and then spread overseas.

It attracted widespread attention.

But no one was surprised.

In recent years, Xinhan has purchased weapons from the United States and Longguo.

Especially the United States, basically all the air force and helicopters come from the United States.

Longguo mainly buys naval and army equipment.

In addition, Xinhan is generous in purchasing weapons every year, rarely less than 10 billion US dollars, and has occupied about 10% of the global arms market share for many years.

Seeing that the United States and Longguo take billions of dollars in military sales orders from Xinhan every year.

European arms companies are also jealous.

They also want to get a piece of the pie.

However, they have not been able to compete every time.

When the news came out, for Longguo netizens, especially military fans, it was very exciting, like a shot of chicken blood.

We once again exported 5.3 billion US dollars of our own weapons, and the order amount reached 6.2 billion US dollars. How can we not be happy with such a huge order?

In addition, more people are paying attention to the fact that New China purchased 42 air defense battalions.

They discussed why New China bought so many.

After all, the land area of ​​New China is actually only 770,000 square kilometers.

"What do you think, is New China preparing for buying so many air defense weapons? 42 air defense battalions, that's scary."

"Not only that, you are talking about missile air defense battalions. New China also has a large number of field air defense forces. In addition, it has previously purchased 14 Patriot 3 air defense missile systems from the United States, which adds up to 56 air defense missile battalions. Based on 1 brigade and 6 battalions, there are 9 air defense missile brigades."

"Tsk tsk, this is probably the country second only to the five major powers, right?"

"To be precise, it should be second only to our Long country, the United States and the Russian bear."

"Logically speaking, New China doesn't need to buy so much. Who dares to provoke New China in Southeast Asia now?"

"I think there must be other hidden meanings here. I guess Xin Han is going to use some big moves. I am afraid of attracting pressure from the international community, so they bought so many air defense missile systems. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense."

"Big moves? What big moves? Could it be that Xin Han has nuclear weapons?"

"Not necessarily. Don't they have ballistic missiles?"

"Do you think nuclear weapons can be made just because you want to? It's not that simple."

"Why do you worry so much? With our Long country here, who dares to touch Xin Han?"

"That's right. If someone really touches Xin Han, our country will definitely not sit idly by. Not to mention that we are both Chinese countries, even if we are protecting our financial backers, we will protect Xin Han."

"......"

Next, we will try to seize Sumatra Island and then completely control the Strait of Malacca.).
