The Republic's dispatch of military instructors to Iran "can be regarded as the rest of the financial turmoil." Starting

As part of the after-sales service, after the first batch of 12J-1 and 12FC-11 fighters were delivered to Iran, the "Zhongzhong Company" not only provided Iran with simulated flight training equipment, but also hired 1C retired officers of the Republic Air Force to go to Iran as instructors to help the Iranian Air Force familiarize itself with and master the new fighters.

On March 12, instructor 1C departed on a passenger plane from Beijing to Tehran.

On the same day, the first VLCCC, loaded with 500,000 tons of light crude oil, sailed from the port of Abadan to Guangzhou, a city in the south of the Republic.

+ Muhua also arrived in Guangzhou on this day and signed formal contracts with 3 private oil companies for the transfer of crude oil.

Everything was carried out according to a pre-arranged plan, with each shipment of arms being delivered, Iran transferring a consignment of light crude oil to the "China Heavy Corporation", which in turn resold the crude oil to the Republic's private oil companies at a lower price than the market.

By this time, the "Medium and Heavy Company" had made several more deals with the help of the Military Intelligence Agency.

At the beginning of March, the "Zhongzhong Company" signed a contract with the Sudanese government to provide Sudan with 150,000 811 and 81-11 rifles, 250,000 squad light machine guns, 7,500 heavy machine guns, 2,500 Type 69 rocket launchers and 800 light mortars, as well as 15 types of ammunition, 250,000 rockets and 1 mortar shell, with a total contract value of 80.

These equipment are all second-hand weapons that have been eliminated by the Republican ** team.

According to the previous approach, most of the aid will be provided to "friendly countries" by the military intelligence agency or other intelligence agencies, except for some of the "aid materials" that will be given to "friendly countries" free of charge. For example, in 20111 the MIA provided enough light weapons to the Government of Myanmar to arm five infantry divisions, in 20133 to Cambodia enough to arm three infantry divisions, and in 2014 to Tanzania enough light weapons to arm five infantry divisions.

For the republic. Obsolete second-hand weapons will be made available to other countries free of charge. It also saves a lot of money on destruction.

+ After Mu Hua learned about this. Offered to "help" the Military Intelligence Agency with "scrap". Not only do you not want the CIA to pay a penny. It was also promised to hand over 25 per cent of the net proceeds from arms sales to the Military Intelligence Agency.

It's such a good thing. Pan Yunsheng naturally won't let it go.

Finish the deal. "Medium and heavy companies" are famous in African countries.

By March 15. Some African countries have taken the initiative to contact the "medium and heavy companies". It is hoped that second-hand arms will be purchased from the republic through the "medium and heavy company".

than buying "first-hand goods". The price of buying second-hand land is much lower.

Because the republic's ground light weapons have always been known for being "reliable", most of the second-hand weapons eliminated by the republican ** team can continue to be used, and their performance is not bad. Take the deal between the Sultan and the "Medium and Heavy Company", if it is all new weapons, enough to arm 20 infantry divisions and light weapons are worth at least 220, which is 40 more than buying second-hand weapons! What's more, unlike Western arms dealers, the "medium and heavy companies" must pay cash from the buyer. Sudan paid 60 percent of that amount in oil, silver ore and mines, and $2 billion in cash alone. For African countries that are poor in foreign exchange, the ability to exchange the resources available everywhere for arms is a very great attraction.

After the "Zhongzhong Company" spread out the stall, Pan Yunsheng had to sigh that too many "resources" had been wasted in the past.

Later, Pan Yunsheng had to try to persuade Zhao Rundong to get the Führer to agree to speed up the rearmament of the army, especially light weapons; It is also necessary to persuade Peng Maobang to agree to trade a lot of mothballed light weapons to provide sufficient "supplies" for the "medium and heavy companies."

In fact, not to mention selling second-hand goods, even if it is "first-hand goods", it is also very profitable.

Take the Type 1 rifle as an example, in the list of items sold by the "Zhongzhong Company", the unit price is 1,500 yuan, the actual production price is only 700 yuan, and the transportation and other costs are less than 850 yuan.

It is more profitable to sell advanced weapons and equipment directly to rich countries than to engage in "second-hand trading".

After the signing of the arms sales contract with Iran, the next big customer of the "China Heavy Goods Company" is Argentina. At the beginning of March, + Muhua personally flew to Buenos Aires to consult with the Argentine Minister of Defense, the Minister of Finance, and the Chief of Staff of the three armed services, and attended the dinner hosted for her by the Argentine President before returning home.

As early as 2015, Ji Youguo took the opportunity of visiting Argentina to sign a huge arms purchase contract with Argentina.

In the 20166 year, the first batch of Type 24J-10 fighters was delivered to Argentina. By the end of the year, the second batch of arms in the mainland, including J-10 fighter jets, 200 Air Police 200 police planes, 240 C-803 missiles, and missile speedboats, would be delivered to Argentina. In February 20177, the first AIP conventional submarine equipped with a class composite battery and the first air defense frigate built in the Republic were delivered to the Argentine Navy. According to the contract, in addition to the second and third AIP conventional submarines, the remaining 3 submarines and 3 air defense frigates will be built in the form of parts and components provided by the Republic and assembled in Argentine shipyards, and the other 8 missile boats will be delivered to the Argentine Navy in full by December 311, 20177.

After receiving the first batch of weapons and equipment, the Republic sent a team of instructors and logistical maintenance personnel to Argentina.

After more than half a year of training, most of them

Military pilots have mastered the J-10 fighter and are full of praise for its performance. The performance of the AWACS aircraft was also greatly appreciated, and the Argentine Navy was very satisfied with the performance of the missile boats in the South Atlantic.

In this context, Argentina has expressed its interest in continuing to procure arms from the Republic.

The two sides began contacts at the end of 20166, but negotiations were not reached because Argentina did not have sufficient foreign exchange to buy arms in cash.

Upon learning of this news, + Muhua immediately asked for the "Zhongzhong Company" to come forward to negotiate with Argentina.

Before leaving office, Ji Youguo personally gave instructions on this matter, asking the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council to come forward to coordinate with all arms manufacturers, and the "Zhongzhong Company" would contact Argentina on behalf of all manufacturers.

+ Muhua flew to Buenos Aires to solve the problem of lack of "cash" in Argentina.

According to the terms proposed by + Muhua, Argentina can exchange its resources, or the right to exploit resources, for arms. Argentina, for its part, wants to exchange its domestic surplus of agricultural products for arms.

After the first round of contacts, both sides expressed "sincerity".

In March, the Argentine purchasing delegation arrived in Beijing. According to Argentina's idea, it wanted to exert influence on the "Zhongzhong Heavy Company" before Ji Youguo left office, but Ji Youguo was busy handling the work before leaving office and did not meet with the Argentine defense minister who led a delegation to visit the country.

At this time, the "China Heavy Goods Company" also made concessions and agreed that Argentina would pay 15 percent of the price for arms purchases in agricultural products.

While this is a big gap from the 50 per cent proposed by Argentina, the differences between the two sides have narrowed a bit. In Pan Yunsheng's words, there is no contract that + Mu Hua can't negotiate.

On March 13, + Mu Hua returned to Beijing from Guangzhou and "revealed" a message in an interview with reporters.

Argentina's arms procurement activity may be as much as 1 (about 180 yuan), which will be the largest arms deal in Argentina's history.

As soon as the news was released, the British government could not sit still.

The Republic sold arms to Argentina in 2015 worth a total of 120 yuan, which has already made Britain feel the pain; This time, it sold 180 yuan of arms to Argentina, can Britain hold it back?

Of course, no one can say exactly how many arms will be sold to Argentina before the contract is officially signed.

Also on this day, + Muhua announced that the "Zhongzhong Company" will participate in the bidding for the "Future Fighter Procurement Plan" of the Brazilian Air Force based on the J-10C fighter improved J-10CB fighter.

At this time, the United States and Western European countries could not sit still.

In the bidding that ended in 20166, the F-35 won a total of 72 orders from the Brazilian Air Force, beating the EF2000, which was jointly developed in Europe. As a result, because Eurofighter believed that Loma had engaged in unfair competition in the bidding, a complaint brought Loma and the Brazilian Air Force to the Brazilian courts, asking the court to re-rule the bidding process. In January 20177, the Brazilian government had to invalidate the first round of bidding and re-evaluate the F-35 and EF2000, as well as all the fighters that participated in the bidding.

At that time, the French company Dassault "returned to the battlefield" and announced that it would continue to sell Rafale fighters to the Brazilian Air Force.

Russia's United Import and Export Corporation has also announced that it will replace the Su-37, which was finalized in 2016, with the Su-37, which was last "put in power", to participate in the competition.

No one expected that the republic would intervene at this time.

Although the J-10 is a third-generation fighter, the J-1's performance is fully comparable to that of the EF2000, and it is a typical third-generation and a half-generation fighter. What's more, the J-10CB: the unit price is less than half of the EF200, only the Rafale, 30% of the F-35, which is lower than the Russian fighter.

In terms of cost performance alone, J-10CB is undoubtedly the best choice.

Of course, the vast majority of Western media are not optimistic about the J-10CB. The Brazilian Air Force has always used European and American fighters, and the logistics support system has nothing to do with the weapons and equipment of the republic; In the request for proposals, it is clearly stated that there is a certain potential for improvement. As an improved version of the third-generation fighter, the J1CC is not competitive in either of these areas.

Regardless of the outcome, the fact that the "China Heavy Goods Company" took the initiative to participate in the competition for international arms tenders shows that the company has become a world-class arms seller. Even if they can't get orders from the Brazilian Air Force, the arms dealers of the United States, Europe and Russia have one more competitive partner in the international arms market.

Considering that a series of new fighters such as the J-14 and J-15 are about to enter service, the potential of the "medium and heavy company" is immeasurable.

The emergence of electric vehicles has dealt a fatal blow to the automobile industry in Western countries; The emergence of the upper flight made Boeing and Airbus meet an invincible opponent; The emergence of the "Medium and Heavy Companies" has caused big problems for Western arms dealers.

Needless to say, arms are the highest-end market, and there are less than 10 countries that can sell arms to the outside world.

The competitiveness of arms products in the international market is a direct manifestation of the international competitiveness of a country's high-end manufacturing industry. The ability to sell arms abroad is a direct reflection of a country's international influence.

Can the republic replace the United States as the world's number one arms exporter?

All it takes to answer this question is time.

Damn it**
