"What Yefimov just said is that there is indeed such a model, but it is still under development and has not been officially equipped with troops." Nikolai could only say: "So now, this S-300PU
, it is indeed the latest model.”
"Nicholas, since you said so, then I believe you." After saying that, Qin Tao glanced at Yefimov with dissatisfaction in his eyes. He was bragging just now. I was almost deceived by you.
.
Yefimov let out a long breath. Although the look made him blush and thicken his neck, at least he did not mess up the matter. They are still waiting for this arms sale to get good things in return. Diamond Central Design Bureau
and Pioneer Factory, are looking forward to it!
Although in this era, the money returned from selling things is still under the unified control of Moscow, but most of the business with China is barter, and they can always get some, as long as they can share it
If they arrive, it will greatly alleviate their lack of daily necessities!
Therefore, after the Chinese delegation left last time, they initiated relations and did a lot of work with their superiors. In addition, the development of the third-generation system went smoothly, so their superiors opened this hole and allowed them to export the S-300PU.
Who would have thought that he was almost screwed up.
"However, it's not too late to eat well. Since there are more advanced models, we can wait and wait until the new models are successfully developed before placing orders. Now, spending US$400 million to purchase these backward models is really a loss.
Already." After Qin Tao finished speaking, he glanced at Mr. Lin and Mr. Wu.
Of course both of them knew what Qin Tao meant. Although the Air Force had long coveted this advanced air defense system, it still had to hold back now.
The two of them nodded: "Yes, we can wait."
You can wait, but we can't wait! Yefimov felt miserable.
Nicholas spoke again: "Qin, my friend, since you are here, you can't leave empty-handed. It's best to buy back the four battalions of missile systems. The price is easy to negotiate, Yefimov.
What do you think?"
The role of Nikolai is really great! Qin Tao was extremely happy. This friend is interesting enough and he will do more business with Nikolai in the future.
"Nicholas, my friend, since you said it, I have to give you some face. Otherwise, since it is an outdated weapon system, then sell it at an outdated price, with a 50% discount, 200 million
How about dollars?"
Yefimov's eyes suddenly widened. Subconsciously, he wanted to say, this is impossible! This is the price we sell to Eastern Europe. How can we give you half the price? Can you compare with Eastern Europe?
However, he also knew that if he blurted out these words, these people would probably run away. They had gained nothing from the business in Eastern Europe. Now they have seen the completion of the Su-27 project negotiations, and the Sukhoi Design Bureau and the Communist Party
Qingcheng has received a large amount of Chinese light industry products and materials, and they are extremely envious.
what to do?
Nicholas was still considerate. After seeing Yefimov's expression, he knew what Yefimov was thinking, so he said: "Qin, my friend, this price is a bit difficult for us to accept. Can you
Add some more?”
Qin Tao is good at doing good things and is very popular with Nikolai.
"In that case, Mr. Lin and Mr. Wu, should we add more?"
Mr. Lin and Mr. Wu were overjoyed. Qin Tao was such a ruthless bargainer! He cut the price in half at once, and the other party seemed to still be full of expectations. In this case, of course they must continue to work harder.
"We can add another 20 million, but we need to give us more ammunition."
According to Yefimov's introduction just now, an S-300 missile launch battalion includes a 30n6 multi-function phased array radar and a 76n6 low-altitude target search radar. Such a system can control 4 launch units at the same time, each
Each launch unit has two quadruple launch vehicles. In this way, a missile launch battalion has 8 launch vehicles and 32 missiles.
Our side plans to purchase four launch battalions, plus a base number of bombs, which is a total of 256 missiles. If we encounter a large-scale war, these missiles will be consumed very quickly.
"That's right, the base number of missiles has been increased by one, and the total is 384." Qin Tao said: "In this way, the total contract amount is 2.2 billion, and we will pay half in cash and half in items. If you can agree to this price, then we will
Just keep talking, if we can't agree, then we... can only say sorry, if it's that new model, we'll get every cent of the US$400 million!"
Qin Tao has been killed. It's not that we are unwilling to pay according to your price, but that you don't give us advanced models. We are actually at a disadvantage, all because of Nikola's face.
Fortunately, the guy named Grishen was not here, otherwise, the other party would definitely slam the table and refuse to sell weapons at this price.
Yefimov fell silent, the scene was quiet, only the clock was clicking, one minute, two minutes, five minutes, ten minutes later, Yefimov finally took a deep breath and spoke with difficulty: "We are willing to use this
We can sell the missiles at a certain price, but I hope you can keep it secret."
That's natural. Why should you be so nice when you get a bargain?
This kind of price is not cheap for the country. After all, the motherland's foreign exchange reserves are not large enough now, but compared with the Patriot missile, it is very cheap.
In 1993, a certain region spent US$56.5 billion on ordering three sets of "Patriot" systems and 200 "Patriot" PAC-2 missiles.
Mr. Lin and Mr. Wu were both very happy and brought Qin Tao over. With such a trick, together with Nikolai and Xinni, they successfully purchased the S-300 weapon system at half the price. Moreover, once the price was determined,
In the future, if the other party wants to raise the price, it will not be so easy, and the amount will not be particularly large.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Everyone, we have brought a lot of fine wine. To celebrate the completion of today's deal, we want to celebrate well." Mr. Lin suggested.
Every time I come to Lao Maozi, I always bring wine.
Nicholas was overjoyed to hear about drinking, but when he glanced among the crowd and saw the figure of the God of Dionysus, he frowned a little.
"Of course, but he drinks by himself, not with us." Nicholas pointed his finger at the God of Bacchus.
Li Daming was very unhappy.
The atmosphere of the dinner was still very good. No one drank with Li Daming, so Li Daming went around looking for people to drink with his wine glass. There were always some people who didn't know how good Li Daming was.
As for those who knew how powerful he was, they stayed away from Li Daming for fear of capsizing in Li Daming's place.
Qin Tao stood with Nicholas holding a wine glass.
"Nicola, my friend, thank you for your help today. By the way, the watermelons over there are about to mature. Do you want to send a boat over to you?"
watermelon?
Nicholas nodded repeatedly: "Of course, no problem, I will give you good things."
Qin Tao smiled: "You can give it or not."
"Our friendship is friendship, and business is business." Nikolay said with a smile: "At that time, I estimate that I can get you a few 5v55u missiles, which can hit 150 kilometers without high-throw ballistics."
The 5v55u is the third missile, which still uses semi-active guidance and has a real range of 150 kilometers. The next one is the famous 48n6e2 missile with a range of 200 kilometers.
A few of these missiles can replace a boatload of watermelons, and since they are universal, they can be directly attached to the weapon system that Qin Tao and the others have negotiated without modification.
However, when Nicholas said this, he revealed a big secret.
Nikolai is a marine!
The S-300 system is separate. The Navy uses the S-300f, which was designed by the Anerta Design Bureau. It is completely different from the current Diamond Central Design Bureau. How can the Navy have missiles for the Homeland Defense Air Force?
system?
Qin Tao's heart was like a bright mirror, he knew what was going on.
Lao Maozi installed the S-300F system on his cruiser, which became the regional air defense force of the Navy. It is very different from the weapon system of the Homeland Defense Air Force. In addition to the launcher using a revolver, radar, etc.
There are also differences.
For example, on a nuclear-powered cruiser, two 3r41 top-cover radars are installed, which can fire at twelve targets at the same time. A conventionally-powered cruiser has only one top-cover radar, which can attack six targets flying in one direction at the same time.
In this era, it is already a great achievement. After all, saturation attacks are what Lao Maozi does, and their enemies do not have the strength to do saturation attacks.
However, this system is mainly used to intercept aircraft. Facing the new generation of American Harpoon anti-ship missiles, Tomahawk C-type anti-ship missiles and other systems, the interception efficiency is very poor.
Therefore, the Lao Maozi Navy was very dissatisfied with the performance of this missile. They set their sights on the latest s-300p system of the Homeland Defense Force and decided to put this weapon system on warships. They also gave it an S-300f number, as if
It was upgraded from the S-300f. In fact, it is completely different from the previous one.
For Lao Maozi, this is nothing to be embarrassed about. Most of the Navy's anti-aircraft missiles are transplanted from the missile systems of the Homeland Defense Air Force, which also declares that they have given up on the products of the Anerta Design Bureau.
When Nikolai came here, he actually came to inspect with other naval officers, and he would also get a few sets back to test-fire them first, to test that his Pacific Fleet would also have such things.
However, after completing the inspection, he heard that a Chinese delegation was coming, so he stayed for one more day. As a result, he actually met Qin Tao.
There is still no problem with the route of Lao Maozi's plan, but it's a pity that their movements are slow.
By the time they finished testing, the Red Empire was gone!
Lao Maozi's economy deteriorated rapidly, and those powerful nuclear-powered cruisers became a burden. The first ship to be modified, the Peter the Great, only had the bow of the ship modified, and a 30d6 radar was installed. The tail was still 3r41
The top-mounted radar is still usable at least.
As for the cruisers Admiral Zakhalev and Admiral Nassimov that were subsequently modified, they could only be parked at the dock to bask in the sun and wind, and were eventually eliminated. The two S-300F systems that were originally planned to be replaced were also replaced by the old cruisers.
Maozi was sold and exchanged for something.
Now, thinking of this, Qin Tao is still very emotional.
"Nicola, my friend, thank you for supporting us, cheers!" Qin Tao raised his wine glass.
Their wine glasses touched each other.
"Qin, what else do you need when you come here?" Nicholas said to Qin Tao, "I can help you."
Nicholas is very generous to his good friends.
Qin Tao thought for a while and then said: "Yefimov has hidden a brand new S-300 system from us. I am very curious about this system. It would be great if I could go and have a look."
Nicholas smiled, knowing that Qin Tao had this inquisitive style. He nodded: "Actually, there is nothing advanced. The main thing is that there is a brand-new regiment-level radar. This kind of radar has a larger area and can search
The distance is farther and multiple missile battalions can be coordinated to fight together. However, it was developed by the Novosibirsk Institute of Surveying Instrument Science and is not in Moscow. If you want to see it..."
Qin Tao nodded: "Well, I'm looking forward to it very much, of course, if I won't trouble you."
"Qin, my friend, I am going back to the Far East anyway. If I take the ground route, I will pass through Siberia. There is no problem in taking a look. Of course, I can't bring too many people with me."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It's just me and my wife, should it be okay?"
Nicholas nodded.
So, on the next day, Mr. Wu and Mr. Lin continued to negotiate on the details of the introduction of the S-300, and at the same time went to the Pioneer Factory to see the actual product. Qin Tao and Zhao Ling were already galloping across the vast land of the Soviet Union, heading towards Novosibirsk.
Go to the state.
Novosibirsk Oblast is located in the southeastern part of the West Siberian Plain, with most of the land located between the Ob River and the Irtysh River. The capital, Novosibirsk, is 3,191 kilometers away from Moscow.
The location of this city is very good, so it is an important city in the interior of Laomaozi. In terms of scale, it is the third largest city in Russia after Moscow and Leningrad, and is larger than Stalingrad.
It was built in 1893 and has a history of nearly a hundred years. Over the years, the city has vigorously developed the machine manufacturing and metal processing industries. In addition, the power industry, food industry, chemical industry, ferrous metallurgy and non-ferrous metallurgy have also
Very developed.
Many of Lao Maozi's research institutions have established branches here, such as the Moscow Academy of Sciences, which has branches here, as well as nuclear physics, lasers, etc. There are also a large number of universities here.
Although it is inland, when you come here, you can't see the desolate Siberian scene of exiled prisoners, but only the bustle of the city.
The Novosibirsk Scientific Institute of Measuring Instruments is located in a corner of the city, surrounded by green trees and pleasant scenery.
"Qin, let me introduce to you, this is Kuznetsov." Nicholas took Qin Tao and Zhao Ling to find his old acquaintance, and introduced Qin Tao enthusiastically.
