Chapter 211 The Air Force’s 9 million order, to be a teacher for Hans Air Force?
Situ Fei looked at Admiral Connor in shock.
That’s more than 2700 aircraft, with a unit price of 10 marks, and that’s just an exorbitant price he quoted.
He was originally prepared to wait for the other party to bargain, and his target price was 7 to 8 Reichsmarks per aircraft.
Unexpectedly, the other party did not even bargain for the price, but bought all the more than 2700 Mustangs in one go.
Then he became ecstatic and began to silently calculate the value of these more than 2700 aircraft.
2.7 million Reichsmarks, if you add spare engines and spare parts, the total value is about 3 million.
After all, one engine costs at least 3 Reichsmarks, so it is normal to have a few hundred spare engines.
This time, Situ Fei felt the heroism from the great powers.
He doesn't even bargain, he's really rich.
One feels that the money is worth it, and the other feels that the other party gives too much. This is also a win-win situation.
Situ Fei was very excited at the moment after selling all the Mustang fighter jets in stock in one go.
But the Air Force not only has Mustangs, but also a large number of Thunder and Il-10 attack aircraft, which are no less numerous than Mustangs.
You should know that at its peak, the Renaissance Army Air Force was equipped with more than 15,000 fighter jets of various types.
The three musketeers, Mustang, Thunder and Il-10, account for more than half.
So we can also find ways to sell these two fighter jets.
Compared with the stingy Hans Army, the Air Force has extremely sufficient funds. That is why Admiral Connor is so confident in saying, "I want it all."
If all these 2700 advanced fighter jets can be successfully returned to the country, they will be enough to arm the most powerful air force in Xizhou.
This is a force that is powerful enough to influence the air situation in Xizhou.
He only spent less than 300 million Reichsmarks to purchase these fighter planes.
This is where he feels the value for money is excellent.
At this moment, he became more interested in the other fighter planes of the Renaissance Army.
If he could bring back all the propeller fighters retired by the Restoration Army.
In just three years, Hans's Air Force will become the strongest air force in the West, and will be able to defeat John, Gaul, and Tsarist Russia.
Admiral Connor saw this as a shortcut, the only cost being more money.
Before coming, Golson, the commander-in-chief of the Air Force, applied for permission for 20 billion Reichsmarks for him.
So he started to urge Situ Fei instead.
"My dear friend, I would also like to see your other models. As long as they meet our needs and are reasonably priced, we will purchase them."
Admiral Connor has now come to his senses and needs to bargain.
That's why I said the four words "reasonable price".
Situ Fei was fine with it, suppressing the surprise that welled up in his heart, and said calmly, "Of course, our prices are fair and honest, absolutely very reasonable."
He really meant what he said.
When setting prices, they all make reasonable prices based on the current international arms trade market. Without any political conditions attached, the prices of the weapons themselves will not be too outrageous.
Since they wanted to see it, they were taken directly to the war exhibition area that had been set up on one side of the airport.
Various types of fighter planes are neatly arranged here.
It can be said that except for some special models and B-29 bombers, almost all of them are here.
The special aircraft here refers to the early warning aircraft.
Radar technology must never be leaked.
As for not selling the B-29, it was not because of the fear that Hans would use this bomber to threaten the ancient country, nor was it due to any other factors.
The main reason is that if the B-29 is sold directly, can the B-17 still be sold at a good price?
Eat the food one bite at a time.
After they bought the B-17 and needed a new bomber, it would be a natural progression to promote the B-29 bomber.
When the Hans Air Force delegation came to this exhibition area, they couldn't take their eyes off it.
P-47雷电、伊尔-10、P-38闪电、P-61黑寡妇、B-25中型轰炸机、FW-189框架、C-47运输机、C-54运输机等一系列退役下来的螺旋桨飞机全都在这里了。
It can be said that the Air Force brought all of its previous assets here.
Admiral Connor took a quick look and could no longer remain calm. Instead, he strode to the front of the fighter planes and looked at them one by one.
Air Force Commander Situ Fei followed him and acted as a commentator at any time.
The other delegation members watched in groups of three or four.
After taking a quick look around, Connor also saw clearly what types of fighter planes these were.
Then he stood in front of the huge P-47 Thunderbolt fighter.
However, it is no longer called P-47 Thunderbolt, but uses the Air Force's foreign trade name - FC-47 Thunderbolt.
The Mustang is the FC-51 Mustang.
There are two main reasons why Admiral Connor was attracted to this fighter.
The first one is big, the second one is ugly!
In his eyes, this fighter jet is just big, black and crude.
This also made him not interested in this fighter, but he could still learn about it.
After all, this fighter jet appears very frequently.
At this time, Situ Fei knew that it was time for him as a commentator to play a role.
Situ Fei, the Air Force Commander, really likes this Thunder fighter.
It can do almost any job and is the fighter jet with the most sorties in the Air Force, without a doubt.
"In our order of battle, it is both a fighter-bomber and a high-altitude interceptor.
Because it is equipped with a 2569 horsepower air-cooled engine and has the ability to inject water to boost power, the power can be increased even higher in emergency situations.
"How many?"
When Admiral Connor heard the words "2569 horsepower", his face was filled with disbelief, and he looked at the big, black fighter plane again with an expression of astonishment.
2569 horsepower, what kind of concept is this? He couldn't even imagine it.
Let’s compare them with their current engines.
700:2569, the gap is more than three times.
After digesting this information, Admiral Connor's eyes changed when he looked at Lei Dian.
No longer dare to underestimate this huge and bulky-looking fighter jet.
"Our Thunder fighter has a high-altitude speed comparable to that of a Mustang, and is capable of intercepting bombers at medium and high altitudes.
Moreover, its maneuverability at high altitudes is very flexible. There are very few fighters that can defeat it at high altitudes, not even the Mustang can do it."
Admiral Connor was a little puzzled at this time: "It is equipped with such a powerful engine, but its maximum speed is only 700 kilometers per hour?"
Situ Fei was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, this is almost the maximum speed of a propeller plane. Due to design and aerodynamic reasons, the speed of a propeller fighter cannot exceed 800 kilometers per hour."
This was little-known knowledge to Admiral Connor.
Because there are currently no fighter jets in Xizhou that can reach a speed of more than 600 kilometers per hour, let alone the 700 kilometers range.
This raises another question.
"So the jet fighters you're equipped with must be able to reach speeds exceeding 800 kilometers per hour, correct?"
Admiral Connor asked tentatively.
Situ Fei did not answer, but smiled without saying anything, which was also a disguised response.
If he says that jet fighters have supersonic capabilities, how can he sell his products?
So we definitely can’t tell you the specific value, let them guess it themselves.
Admiral Connor also understood this and became excited.
Sure enough, jet fighters are the trend of the future.
But now that the Fuxing Army is unwilling to sell, they can only settle for the next best option.
First strengthen the air force and then consider the issue of jet fighters.
Then Situ Fei continued to introduce Thunder to Admiral Connor.
It can be said that the Thunder has almost no shortcomings except its poor low-altitude maneuverability.
It also has a one-ton payload capacity and can carry two 500-kilogram bombs for ground attacks.
There are also 8 12.7mm caliber aviation machine guns, with a terrifying ammunition capacity of 3400 rounds.
Only this largest single-engine fighter can possess such terrifying firepower and ammunition capacity.
You should know that the Mustang only has 6 machine guns and 1880 rounds of ammunition, while the Thunder's ammunition is almost twice that of the Mustang.
Now Admiral Connor understood why the Restoration Army liked to use this ugly-looking fighter so much.
He can do almost any job and is a true all-rounder in the Air Force.
Moreover, its huge size also gives it heavy armor and strong survivability.
"And what's the price?"
"15 Reichsmarks."
The P-47 Thunderbolt cost much more to manufacture than the Mustang.
The Thunder costs $8.5 to build, while the Mustang only costs $5.1.
So Situ Fei's bid was also higher than Mustang's.
At this time, Admiral Connor frowned.
"For 13 Reichsmarks, we will purchase 1000 within two years."
Twenty thousand Reichsmarks were cut in one go.
Situ Fei said without hesitation: "Okay, then 13 marks per plane."
Although Admiral Connor did not shout "I want them all" this time, Situ Fei was already very satisfied.
These 1000 aircraft cost 1.5 million marks, of course this includes the price of engines, spare parts, etc.
In less than half a day, 4.5 million marks were sold, which is equivalent to 9 million yuan in ocean currency.
This also made Situ Fei even more enthusiastic.
He simply pulled Admiral Connor to continue reading.
The Il-10 attack aircraft, with a unit price of 6 Reichsmarks, was nicknamed the Sky Death God.
This attack aircraft also meets the ground support needs of the Hans Air Force.
So here is another intention order for one thousand aircraft.
The number of fighter jets purchased by the Hans Air Force alone has reached more than 4700.
Of course, these are not one-time purchases, they are just orders of intent.
Even if they purchase the planes now, they don’t have so many pilots available.
That's why, while placing the order, Admiral Connor also made a request.
Hopefully, the Renaissance Army can help them train pilots.
They will provide them with venues, food, clothing, housing, transportation and instructors, and they will pay all expenses for these novice pilots.
At this time, Situ Fei was also in a trance.
I didn't expect that Hans, one of the top powers, would come to see the teacher.
