Chapter 221: Let's Pit Him
(The fourth update is over, thank you fjk19940408, Lantian 80's reward, 10,000 words today, Chenchen is cheeky and asks for a reward here, last month's reward was not as high as Qingshan, not convinced!) As for my relationship with Aoyama, ahem, I won't talk too much about it. )
Shouldering the sacred mission of improving Sino-American cooperation, the heads of Sikorsky set foot on Chinese soil again, and the last time they learned the power of the Chinese military representatives, they negotiated with the representatives of the Soviet Union and the United States almost simultaneously, and then used psychological warfare to suppress each other's prices in order to benefit from them. It also cost Sikorsky a large amount of revenue, and on this point, Sikorsky was angry with the Chinese side and the intelligence agency.
Although this time the intelligence bureau claimed to be a separate transaction, without the slightest hint of third-party involvement, Sikorsky still couldn't believe their words, but this time it didn't dare to open its mouth, it could only be said to be a tentative attack with a price. And this time, the person in charge of the transaction is still the General Zhang mentioned in the mouth of the Soviets last time.
They had learned the level of deception of this military personnel, so much so that when they saw him appear, everyone looked like they were facing a great enemy. But General Zhang still looked calm, greeted them in a standard American English tone, and put on a look that you don't have to be nervous, we are harmless to humans and animals.
Of course, this animal is harmless, whoever believes it is unlucky.
"In 1987, a helicopter in China crashed in Nuomuhong Township, and it was later found that the accident was caused by the rupture of the tail rotor transmission shaft due to product quality problems. Do you remember when Sikorsky paid a total of $3 million worth of spare parts and compensation? There was no mention of the quantity and price of the transaction, and General Zhang asked about this accident a few years ago as soon as he came up.
The negotiation delegation of Sikorsky Company was stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and did not know what cards the other party was going to play, so they had to nod and reply. "Of course we know about it, but Sikorsky is very confident in its products and it will never happen again."
"Wait, I remember you said the same thing after the plane accident, insisting that we used copycat materials or that we made a mistake." General Zhang continued to take advantage of the victory to pursue and ask the other party.
"I don't know what you're trying to say. Could you please be clear? "Sikorsky representatives don't like going around in circles at the negotiating table, and they want the Chinese representatives to make their demands directly. Open the skylight and say something bright, of course, this is the moment that the Chinese representative is waiting for.
"We all know that your materials are not necessarily 100% guaranteed, so are you embarrassed to set the price when you sell it? Unless you can guarantee that there will be no accidents, we are willing to accept the price of 7 million. ”
Without the previous Soviet Mi-17 helicopter as a competitor, and China's demand for Black Hawk helicopters is large, and the price does not dare to cut too hard, and now China can only use bluff methods to deter Sikorsky, you are not known as the best helicopter. Then come out with the attitude of the best helicopter and prove that your plane crash can only be a human problem, not a quality problem.
No one dared to give this kind of guarantee, and Sikorsky was unwilling to let go, so it had to make some small concessions, such as reducing the price of Black Hawk helicopters by 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, in order to reach this agreement. Two to thirty thousand dollars can be a huge amount of income for one person, but for the scary price of the Black Hawk. It's nothing at all.
"We are willing to accept the price offered by the US side to buy 40 planes, and if you are willing to reduce the price by another 100,000 US dollars. Then we will procure sixty Black Hawk helicopters. General Zhang knew that some bargaining chips could not be used once, so he had to give the other party a temptation in terms of quantity.
After a long exchange of words, Sikorsky's negotiating delegation said they were willing to accept the Chinese side's request for a price reduction, but they also canceled some of the helicopter commissioning and handed it over to the Chinese themselves. Of course, in the past eight years of dealing with Black Hawk, the PLA has also known it well.
The negotiations reached consensus in a rather pleasant atmosphere. Even CIA agents are secretly glad that the operation was not messed up, and that the U.S. embassy will be praised and praised by the president.
After that, there was nothing to do with Sikorsky, and then the CIA personnel contacted the military representatives of the Liberation Army, and they offered to return what had not been exchanged to the Chinese in the Peace Model Project during the operation. But a separate contract had to be signed with the United States, and certain economic cooperation between China and the Soviet Union had to be terminated.
The representatives of the Chinese military lost their temper at that time. You are threatening China, even interfering in China's internal affairs. At that time, the Chinese side did not sign the agreement, and the United States did not stubbornly do so, and they hoped that China could think clearly about whether it was worth giving up the deal for the sake of economic and trade that was not worth a fraction of the value of this batch of arms.
Just when the Chinese side was in a dilemma, Beijing received a reply from Moscow, saying that the Chinese side could sign the contract if it wanted to, and that they did not care about the feelings of the Soviet Union, and they only wanted to know what kind of weapons the United States had provided to China.
When the Chinese side said that there was a new type of avionics and a Black Hawk helicopter, the Soviet side showed great interest, saying that it was willing to buy a set of American avionics systems and a Black Hawk helicopter, and they hoped to cooperate with the Chinese side in a helicopter project for the Black Hawk to create their own highland helicopter with superior performance.
China has channels but no technological imitation, and the Soviet Union has excellent heavy industry technology but does not have enough channels, so the two sides hit it off and decided to join forces to secretly digest American technology.
A few days later, the Chinese military contacted C.I.A. officials and said they were more than willing to sign the contract to work with the United States against the Soviet Union. This change of attitude caught the CIA officials by surprise, and they were very happy to sign a contract with the Chinese side and promised that all weapons would be delivered to the Chinese side in the next six months.
The Chinese side stated that their contract with the Soviet Union would continue unless all the weapons were in their hands. How could the elated CIA officers know that this was just a bureau set up by the Chinese side and the Soviet Union in order to defraud the United States of secret military technology.
Sure enough, half a month later, the Chinese got their wish and got the avionics system they urgently needed, as well as two modified Jian-8 fighters, radar systems and advanced torpedoes. The Chinese side did not hesitate to unilaterally terminate some cooperation agreements with the Soviet Union and threatened to withdraw all scientific and technical personnel. In order to cooperate with the acting, the Soviet Union only symbolically protested a few words, but secretly, these cooperation projects will continue, and the Chinese side only said that it would withdraw scientific researchers, and it is not that scientific researchers cannot continue to work.
But this effect made Woolsey very happy, and he reported the news to US President Mario, claiming that thanks to the efforts of the United States, a crack had finally appeared in Sino-Soviet relations, and all that was needed now was to continue to widen this rift.
After China obtained a series of coveted equipment, the Soviet side also received the avionics system and Black Hawk fighters secretly sent by the Chinese side, saying that with the equipment sent by the Chinese side, the Soviet Union could finally make a breakthrough in the electronic warfare technology of the fighters. In these technologies, China and the Soviet Union cooperated with each other.
At present, Yanayev's serial plan has been fully achieved, first using the Kiev-class aircraft carrier to seduce the United States into taking the bait, and using the military deal between China and the United States to achieve its goal of obtaining the latest American high-tech equipment, and only the United States is still in the dark, thinking that this is a major victory in the war against the Soviet Union.
What China has to do is to continue to play the role of this black-bellied collaborator, using the economic development of the United States and arming itself with the military-industrial complex of the Soviet Union. (To be continued.) )
