Chapter 619 Selling the Bay F-16

Election! The four-year presidential campaign in the United States has begun again!

In history, Bush Sr. won the Gulf War, but lost public opinion, lost to Clinton in the campaign, and left the White House sadly.

The main reason why Bush left the White House was because of the high fiscal deficit. Bush was a torpedo pilot and loved fighting very much. During his term, the United States launched several wars, especially the Gulf War. Although the oil majors in the Middle East provided some funds, the United States still had to pay considerable fiscal expenditures. In addition, Bush was very careful with the military, and the approval of various projects of the military was smooth, which led to a steady increase in fiscal expenditures.

In order to deal with the fiscal deficit, Bush finally took a stupid move, which was to increase taxes! This directly led to the dissatisfaction of American taxpayers. As a result, in the election, Bush no longer had his original approval rating and was driven out of office by the public.

But now, the situation has changed. On the one hand, the Soviet Union, the biggest enemy of the United States, still exists! Although the Soviet Union has begun to gradually retreat, as long as the Soviet Union exists, the Cold War will continue, and the increase in military expenditure of the American people is still tolerant.

Besides, the bigger reason is that the Gulf War did not break out. So many precision-guided weapons in the United States are still staying in the warehouse and not being used. When war enters the era of precision-guided, when war is in war, it is just a matter of making money. Without money, there is no way to fight.

Therefore, although the United States has a large fiscal deficit, it is not as good as the deficit must be eliminated by raising taxes. Bush's butt is still sitting firmly.

Now, in order to defeat his opponent Clinton in the election, Bush can still take advantage of his advantages. He is to do one or two more beautiful things during his term of office to win public opinion!

The US elections are planned by a think tank, and the current subordinates of Bush are all his think tanks. If he step down, these people will almost step down, and the new president will have new subordinates.

So, hearing the words of National Security Assistant Brent, Bush's eyes lit up: "What opportunity?"

"Now, China's economy is rising, especially their agricultural products and light industrial products, have been sold to our United States in large quantities. Many of our companies have suffered losses," said Brent. "So, many people have begun to have opinions about China, especially many Jews, and your relationship with China has always been very friendly. This is not good for your campaign, and many people will be dissatisfied with your behavior."

Bush has a good relationship with China, which starts with Bush's resume. He has been an ambassador to China for so many years. He still has a good impression of China. It was for the purpose of checking and balancing the Soviet Union, but now the Soviet Union is actually not a big threat. At this time, if the United States' attitude is changed again and appears in a tough manner, it should be able to win more support.

"You mean, we want to sell arms to Taiwan?" Bush said: "Selling F16 fighter jets to Taiwan? This is contrary to our original joint communiqué."

"But this will win more support from more people." Secretary of State Baker also agreed: "Now, China's economy is progressing rapidly. We must be more careful about China and increase Taiwan's national defense capabilities. This will also build momentum for your election. We will also win more support from more people, and selling to Taiwan fighter jets can also make our arms dealers complain less."

He beat the number of people at one stroke, especially to build momentum for the election! Bush was finally moved when he heard it. Wanwan was pitiful enough. Over the years, he has always been a stepmother. Now, it is time to give Wanwan some sweetness.

A tough president will be loved by the people. Americans like tough presidents, but if the economy is not done well, Americans will also be dissatisfied. Now, through arms sales to Bay, the United States can make more profits. This is very beneficial to the Trump-Sr., and it will build momentum for the election!

Pakistan, Islamabad.

"Mr. President, thank you very much for your reminder. We discovered that Wanwan is trading with the Soviet Union and the people are all getting stolen." Robert said to Mhamad, with a smile on his face. This cooperation is very pleasant. How great would it be if he cooperated like this in the future!

Mhamad said: "This is what we should do. I have said a long time ago that we have many of the same interests as your country. Now, have you made the decision to sell military aircraft to Wanwan?"

"Yes, Congress has passed the president's proposal to sell a total of up to 160 F16 fighter jets to Bay Bay," Robert said.

"Congratulations to your arms dealers for making another big profit from Wanwan," said Mhamad.

The contract that Wanwan originally negotiated with the Soviets was 35 million US dollars per Su-27, but now, the contract with the United States is 45 million US dollars per aircraft, and it is also the main force of Americans' promotion to the outside world, f16/79! Using the old turbojet engine model! Americans can earn at least 25 million US dollars per aircraft!

Seeing Robert leave, Musha Aff was worried: "Mr. President, isn't it bad for China to do this?"

No matter what model of turbojet engine it is, this is always the f16, a third-generation aircraft that uses edge wings and has excellent fighting performance! Moreover, the number is huge, and when Wanwan acquires these fighters, it will pose a threat to the mainland.

"Yes." Mhamad said: "But, compared with Su27, which fighter jet do you think poses a greater threat to China?"

"That's all right, of course it's Su 27!" Musha Af said, and he understood the president's meaning at the same time.

The main reason for this incident was the Soviet Union. In order to make money, the Soviet Union could sell anything and any country could sell it. But it didn't care about China's attitude. After all, China bought too few Soviet fighter jets. Even if it was not sold to China, but only to Wanwan, it would be enough for the Soviet people to make a big profit.

If Wanwan gets the Su-27 fighter jet, it will be very unfavorable for China. After all, the Su-27 fighter jet is a heavy air-control fighter jet with strong maneuverability and long range, and great potential for body improvement. Wanwan's electronic technology is very good, and the Su-27 will become a sharp sword hanging over the continent.

The only one who can prevent Wanwan from buying Su 27 is the United States, so this news must be told to the Americans and let Americans stop Wanwan. And the result is that the United States can only sell fighter jets to Wanwan for coercion and inducement. After all, it is still that Wanwan was forced to buy Su 27. Even if it does not buy Su 27, it will buy Phantom 2000.

In history, Wanwan also obtained the F16 fighter jet in 1992. In the early 1990s, Lockheed Martin, which was responsible for the production of the F16, fell into a serious crisis due to various reasons. The F16 was not as popular as it is now, becoming the world-class fighter jet second only to the MiG21. At that time, there was no order for the F16 and almost the production line was about to be closed. At the same time, the relationship between China and the United States also fell to a trough. With the support of this international environment and in order to "save" Lockheed Mart, Bush announced in 1992 that it would sell 150 F16 fighter jets to Taiwan. Not only did he temporarily save the Fort Worth factory, it also brought back the F16 fighter jet that was facing forever discontinuation from the gates of hell.

Now it is just a repetition of history. What should happen will happen. Mhamad knew that he could not stop the Americans from acting at all, but now it is different from history.

In history, before the arrival of the Su-27 fighter jet, the Chinese Air Force had such a slack combat capability, and it did not even have a medium-range interception capability. The improvement project of the J-82 fighter jet, which had high hopes, was left alone for various reasons, and the United States detained the prototype.

At that time, Wanwan obtained the Su-27, which was a great stimulation to China. After China purchased the Su-27, the first batch of equipment was Wuhu's Air Force, which was for the need to fight against the Wanwan Air Force.

But now, it is completely different. China's J-10 fighter jets have begun to be put into service in large quantities, with an annual output of more than 30. The front-line air force, especially the air force in the Wanwan area, has long been replaced with J-10 fighter jets. Although the engine performance is still different, compared with the F16, it is definitely a complete victory.

At the same time, imitation of Tomcat fighter jets has also begun. The combination of Tomcat and J-10 light and heavy can completely allow the Chinese Air Force to pose an overwhelming air advantage to Wanwan. Wanwan wants to pose a threat to the mainland, it is just a dream.

However, if Americans do this, China will definitely not be satisfied. The rest depends on how China deals with it.

Mhamad guessed quite accurately. Just after the United States announced the arms sales to Bay, the whole world was in an uproar.

On the same day, the spokesperson of China's diplomatic affairs made a stern speech. The US government sold F16 fighter jets to Wanwan, which seriously violated the three joint communiqués of China and the United States, seriously interfered in China's internal affairs, seriously endangered China's national security, and damaged China's great cause of unification and Sino-US relations!

The Chinese leader urgently summoned the US ambassador to China on the same day and emphasized the attitude of China to the US. If the US insists on doing so, China will cancel the contract with the United States to import 20 Boeing 747 passenger planes just reached!
