Chapter 145: $3.2 Billion Transaction

"Some time ago, there was some air exchange between the Soviet Union and Pakistan. Although Pakistan won, Pakistan's equipment was indeed not good." Secretary of State George Schultz said: "We sold them the F-16, and they only had combat capabilities and were not enough."

"Schultz, do you also think that these F-14 fighter jets should be sold to Pakistan? That will reveal the secrets of our Navy! This is the main fighter jet of our Navy!" said Poindexter.

Poindexter is an assistant to national security affairs and a lieutenant general, and he is on the same line as Weinberg.

"Even if it is not sold to Pakistan, it will be leaked long ago. The Iranian Air Force is well aware of the performance of the F-14 fighter jets." Schultz said: "Don't neglect our security in Central Asia for some small profits of the Navy. If the Soviets go south and gain access to the Indian Ocean, all our strategies will be readjusted, and the Soviet Union will become a terrible existence that is rampant around the world."

The navy's small profit made Poindexter's old face blush.

"Bush, what do you think?" Reagan finally looked at his partner, Vice President Bush.

"Isn't it better to hand it over to the Senate group?" Bush said: "What they discussed is definitely more truthful and completely correct."

Among this group of people, the real old fox is the Vice President Bush who is hidden here. It is sold to Pakistan F-14. There are pros and cons. How to make a decision and hand it over to those MPs can better ensure the safety of those here. After all, the economy has fallen to the bottom now. Democratic MPs are likely to use this matter to criticize the government, and no matter what they do, it is wrong.

"Okay, we will make a decision when the Senate reaches a conclusion." Reagan finally made a statement.

Weinberg was delighted. Those people couldn't make any decisions without half a year. Pakistan could not wait for this batch of fighter jets, so it would be better to wait for the next batch of F-16s. Yes, there is also F-20. Anyway, the domestic one doesn't plan to be equipped, so it's better to make money from exports.

But he didn't know, in fact, Bush said this. It was more meaningful, because he already knew the reactions of the Senate members. After this time, those members, after being lobbyed by Grumman Company and Mhamad, who visited Pakistan, had already tended to help Pakistan and agreed to export those fighter jets.

It is beneficial to both sides, Grumman has gotten rid of the burden, and Pakistan will attack the Soviets more effectively. After all, the Soviets are now the biggest enemy of the United States.

It's just. A brand new fighter, from purchasing, equip the troops, training, maintenance, and a series of tasks. Without two or three years, it will not be able to form combat effectiveness.

Even if they are sold to Pakistan now, they can only rely on those F-16s to fight for the time being.

Grumman Company.

"Brother General Mhamad, the Senate has passed the proposal and agreed to us to export F-14 to your country." Pierre said to Mhamad with a smile on his face: "Now, it's time for us to move into the next stage to discuss the specific price of the fighter jet and your payment method."

Mhamad nodded: "You have said last time that it is delivered to our country as the price you give to your navy."

"Yes, in order to support our friends, our company is willing to provide you with a discounted price of 50 million US dollars per aircraft. What do you think?"

Fifty million? Hearing this, the smile on Mhamad's face froze: "His Excellency Pierre, do you think we have arrived here from afar and convinced the elders of the parliament to be cut by you in the end? We are not the only option of f-14, f-15, and Dassault's Phantom 4000, which are all our subjects of our investigation. If you want to continue, please show your company's sincerity! We have also come here under the tremendous pressure in China. Many people laughed at us and bought the hangar queen."

The Hangar Queen is F-15! Pierre is also dissatisfied with Mhamad's misconduct, but now that the contract is about to fail, if Pierre is a little tougher, he may have really left. Those who fight on the battlefield will be tough in everything.

"How much does your country plan to make?" Pierre asked.

"I'm a soldier, straightforward," said Mhamad. "The one you sold to the U.S. Navy is ten million dollars a plane."

"That was the early price!" Pierre exclaimed: "That was the price that had just been signed for the contract! Later, due to inflation, we lost money when we sold it to the Navy. Now it is not the price, it is 30 million US dollars per machine!"

If it was really ten million dollars per car, then the business would not be able to continue, and Pierre would lose money and even not even afford to wear underwear.

"Okay, that's 30 million US dollars." Mhamad said: "That's 2.4 billion US dollars. We still need 500 Immortal Bird missiles, 1,000 Sparrow missiles, 2,000 Aim-9l omnidirectional attack fighting missiles, plus these missiles, the contract amount is 3 billion US dollars, including the cost of your helping us train personnel, and some vulnerable parts..."

The Immortal missile is very expensive, one is worth millions, five hundred, which is 500 million! These things are not from Grumman, they are products of Hughes. They are packaged for sale by our own company? That is too cheap for the people in front of you, right?

"No, it costs at least 3.2 billion US dollars!" Pierre couldn't help but say, calculating the prices of those missiles.

"Okay, deal!" said Mhamad. "This is a detailed list of vulnerable parts we need."

The other party agreed so quickly? Pierre's eyelids began to thunder. He looked at the detailed list opened by Mhamad. At the front were forty backup engines. These engines were worth 100 million US dollars! Look at the others, they were not cheap!

This guy doesn’t know how to only know how to fight, he is clearly the smartest businessman!

"Mr. Pierre, I heard that the Iranians have paid for the inventories of those fighter jets. How much you sell is all the pure profit." Mhamad said: "We have not gained any benefits. This price is our bottom limit. If it is high, we really can't afford it. Many people in China complain about this. At this price, we can already buy more F-16 fighter jets. Moreover, we still need to import a lot of parts in the later stage, and your company can still increase revenue through later maintenance."

This is not a one-time transaction. After the fighter jet is sold, it can continue to sell various parts, which can prolong life in the medium term and earn more dollars through continuous upgrades. Especially in countries like Pakistan, there is no aviation industry, at most it has a J-6 major repair factory. In such a country, the later maintenance of fighter jets will make Grumman Company earn more.

After hearing Mhamad say this, Pierre finally agreed: "Well, Brigadier General Mhamad, we are all trying to support our South Asian brothers and resist the invasion of the Soviets. Our Grumman Company is willing to do our own obligations to defeat the Soviet Union."

The two hands were held together: "Mr. Pierre, I wish us a happy cooperation."

Until now, the cooperation between the two sides has been very pleasant. In addition to the price just now, Pierre felt that it was a little less, but if it was finally sold to the Navy, the US Navy would give it even less.

"Brother General Mhamad, when do you plan to formally marry my daughter?" After saying this, Pierre continued to ask.

It is not appropriate for him to say this, but now my daughter is with this person, and it is obvious that this person will be a big figure in Pakistan in the future, and Pierre supports his daughter's choice.

"I'm sorry." Mhamad said: "You know, I am a soldier. The marriage of a soldier must be approved by his superiors. When I return to Pakistan, I will report to the Ministry of Defense. When the president approves it, I will marry Lilith. Our wedding also symbolizes the great friendship between our two countries, and the president will definitely agree."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." Pierre said. His daughter married a Pakistani brigade general, or was chosen by his daughter himself. Pierre had no reason to object.

In the United States, freedom is always advocated, and no matter who his daughter wants to be with, it is his daughter's own choice.

When I returned to the hotel where I was temporarily staying, I just closed the door and stretched out my arms behind me and hugged Mhamad from behind.

"Dear, are you back?" Lilith's mouth was right next to Mhamad's ears, and a seductive breath came into Mhamad's nose. Mhamad felt his lower body begin to expand.

"Well, I'm back, and I've discussed with my future father-in-law about introducing fighter jets." Mhamad said: "This matter is a good thing for Pakistan and Grumman."

When Lilith heard Mhamad say that her future father-in-law was suddenly filled with sweetness, and her red lips kissed Mhamad's stubble-shaped face, and put her tender tongue into Mhamad's mouth.

After a long kiss, Lilis felt that Mhamad seemed to be absent-minded today. When the two of them were freed, Lilis asked, "Dear, why do you seem a little unhappy?"
