Super military empire

At this time, Liu Yijiu knew clearly that he could never let go.

Anyway, the money in the military's small treasury must not be easily given up. This is not a question of how much money, but the military must be aware that the Ninth Institute is also a unit of their subordinates, and it has always been self-financing and self-financing. .There is no problem. The problem is that the military cannot reduce the investment that should be given to the Ninth Hospital for this reason.

"Is this matter not discussed?" Long Yaohua frowned and asked Liu Yijiu.

The latter shook his head firmly, indeed there was no discussion."Chief, aren't you going to retire soon? Are you worried that if you give such funds to the Ninth Hospital before you retire, you will be scolded?"

"Am I afraid of being scolded?" Long Yaohua couldn't help getting angry."If you are afraid of being scolded, you have been under such pressure for so many years, we need to give you to bear it? This is a military industry, and it is the top military project!"

"If that's the case, don't you have it?" Liu Yijiu said calmly, "The military had to solve the problem of existence first. It shouldn't be said that the money is used to carry out the projects we are currently doing. The above should be clear about the results, and other units should also be clear. How many scientific research funds are allocated to other units each year? How much is actually used for scientific research? Our domestic scientific research costs are basically It is the lowest in the entire world. No one can deny this."

Why didn't Long Yaohua know?

The problem is that there are some problems that cannot be put on the surface.

"Let’s talk about this later, but what is the specific issue about your fighter production capacity? How do you think about the J-10? The military has been negotiating with you for such a long time. There really is nothing. The result of this!" Long Yaohua does not intend to continue struggling with this billion-dollar funding issue.

Turning to focus on the negotiations on the fighter plane.

Not to mention this, Liu Yijiu is really not angry, and now he is extremely angry.

At the beginning, his negotiations with the military were only about the Dragon Guard tanks, and did not include the negotiation of fighters. In the end, the military sent people to negotiate with the relevant personnel of the Ninth Academy, but because the price gap between the two parties was too large, there was no such thing. Negotiate.

The military didn't ask Liu Yijiu about this matter, and Liu Yijiu didn't bother to talk to them.

"The military is really shameless. How much dollars do we export? Your people are good. Let alone cost us, I am embarrassed to offer a price of 50 million per aircraft, which is equivalent to US dollars. Ten million dollars a piece, this is the third-generation heavy fighter!" Liu Yijiu really didn't want to mention the price given by the military."If it is said that the military does not have funds and we need to subsidize it, let's tell it on the face that this is not a problem. Anyway, we belong to the military. The problem is that your people are negotiating with us in the market according to commercialization!"

Liu Yijiu's words made Long Yaohua a rare face red.

He knew about this. Originally, they knew that hundreds of F-14s exported by the Ninth Academy had a price of over 50 million U.S. dollars per aircraft, and at the current exchange rate, it exceeded 300 million yuan per aircraft. Someone pointed out that before the Dragon Guard tank, the Ninth Institute exported several million U.S. dollars, but it was sold to the military for a few million yuan. This shows that the Ninth Institute's profit is very high.

It is to allow the Ninth Academy to subsidize part of it, and at the same time spit out part of the profits from the fighter jets they export, so as to solve the problem of the shortage of military funds.

The military leaders knew that this matter was a bit disgraceful, but they did not have any objections and expressed their tacit approval.

Therefore, the negotiations have been at a stalemate, and the members of the Ninth Court even directly terminated the negotiations. This made the military feel a little surprised.

Forced to issue orders, even if it is not paid for a penny, the Ninth Academy will ultimately be impossible not to produce these fighters. The problem is that the Ninth Academy was originally a military science and technology pilot unit supported by the military, and it is a market-oriented reform for many domestic military industry units. Pathfinder.

If this is done, too many people will be chilled.

"What's your lowest price?" Long Yaohua didn't talk about the right, wrong, and inauthentic issues in this matter.

Instead, he asked Liu Yijiu directly how much price he would need in this regard.

It was just to make this matter come to a satisfactory end, so that when he abdicated, he still left such regrets. The next term will not force the Ninth Institute to produce for free, but it may also be caused by the relationship with the Nine Institute stiff.

"Internationally, the price of the third-generation fighters is clear to everyone. Although the profits are very high, the Ninth Academy needs to rely on these profits to develop and support the research of more technical projects." Liu Yijiu admitted The profit in this is very high, "Moreover, no matter how our Ninth Academy develops, everything belongs to the country and the military. This is no essential difference from the billion dollars in the military coffers! "

"You just say how much money you need, don't make a mistake here!" Long Yaohua couldn't help but get angry.

Know that your profits are high, but how much profit, who knows?

Unless the Ninth People's Court agrees that finances will be monitored.

But in this way, the skin was completely torn, and the foundation for the rapid development of the Ninth Academy was completely gone.

"One hundred and fifty million, which is about 20 million US dollars." Liu Yijiu thought for a moment, and gritted his teeth and quoted a price that was painful for himself.

According to the technical performance of the J-10, this thing has to be sold for at least 60 million US dollars in the international market, but he can't do that.

The development of military technology is mainly for national defense.

On this, Liu Yijiu knew very well that if the price was too high, the money in the hands of the military would not be able to equip a few aircraft.

As in the United States, the performance of the f-14 is excellent enough, far surpassing the f-15, but now the f-14 has long been out of production.This is because of the cost.

The cost of each f-22 that was originally planned to be equipped with thousands of aircraft exceeded more than 200 million US dollars. The United States, the richest in the world, could only equip more than 200 aircraft.

The price is too high, how can the Chinese military afford it?

Can't afford it, what's the use after researching it out?

If it hadn't been for making a fortune with the J-11 before, Liu Yijiu would not dare to offer such a reserve price to the military.

"Can't the price be lowered anymore?" Long Yaohua looked at Liu Yijiu and asked seriously, "I know the Ninth Academy needs funds for development, but the current situation of the military, you should know. If you give you one billion U.S. dollar funding, coupled with the purchase of at least 30 J-10s, will get another 4.5 billion here, and the more than 10 billion funds will be gone..."

"Chief, you should be clear that these are two things. The J-10 is the J-10, and the large aircraft is a large aircraft. If the price is unavailable, we have nothing to do." Liu Yijiu said angrily."This is nothing else. Fighters are different from tanks. The entire system is very large and complex."

"Okay, don't talk so much, give me the truth. If you are given a billion dollars in funding for the large aircraft project, the price of the J-10 can be controlled within 100 million?" Long Yaohua knew Liu Yijiu's dissatisfaction.

The Chinese military has never used such extravagant weapons and equipment.

Such a fighter plane was only able to be used by the two powerful nations, the American emperor and the Soviet revisionist.

Liu Yijiu, who was too lazy to speak, shook his head feebly. The price of the J-10's avionics and radar systems were not low.

"At the beginning, when we negotiated with the United States for the modification of the J-8ii, only the avionics system cost 10 million US dollars, right?" Liu Yijiu reminded Long Yaohua.

Long Yaohua's face turned redder.

"How about 120 million? Can it be produced? The number of orders is increased to 50."

Almost gritted his teeth, Long Yaohua squeezed out the price, "No matter how high it is, the military can't accept it. This is the limit that the military can achieve at present."

Liu Yijiu was silent.

Although Long Yaohua’s quotation is far from his target price, the order of 50 aircraft can make the Chinese Air Force’s technical equipment level rise a big step.

A lot of maintenance costs are required every year. Indeed, this is the limit the military can achieve.

After coming down, Long Yaohua held a meeting with several leaders of the Blue Army to study the issue of the construction of the Blue Army. Liu Yijiu, a major general in charge of logistics equipment, was absent. He was discussing with the leaders of the Ninth Institute Management Committee whether they could Sell ​​a batch of J-10 to the military at this price.

"J-10 was originally the most top-level equipment researched for our own country’s army, Xiao Liu, if our army can’t afford it and the equipment is not available, what is the point of our research? The price is 5,000 yuan as a joke before. Wan is completely sincere. Although the price is almost equivalent to our J-10 construction cost after including the R&D cost, I don’t think we need to care too much about the profit in this area..." It’s not the first to say this. Wang Shunyi was not someone else, but Zhao Min, a committee member who was basically unrelated to the military industry.

The purpose of the Ninth Academy is to study the most advanced equipment for the military.

In the end, they spent countless time and energy to research advanced fighters such as the J-10, but because the prices of the two parties could not be negotiated, China’s army, which was already much behind the world, has been too late to get any fighters. To equip...

"Yes, I also agree with Comrade Zhao Min. For foreign countries, we must strive for the highest interests. But for China, I think that while the Ninth Academy can continue to develop, we can completely subsidize the military. "Women sang their husbands, Wang Shunyi naturally supported Zhao Min's opinions.

Others basically supported Zhao Min's opinions one-sidedly.

In the entire conference room, it seemed like Liu Yijiu had made a big mistake.

"Nor can we say that. All the equipment funds of the Blue Army are borne by us. It is only the equipment of the Blue Army. The funds we need are not a small amount..." Wang Yueshan still supports Liu Yijiu, "If the price is right now Start subsidizing, and wait until the military has a lot of equipment? If we equip one hundred or one thousand, can we still afford it?"

Most of the equipment of the Ninth Academy has high prices.

If you don’t subsidize the military, you simply cannot afford it.

The entire huge research institute is currently relying on the profits of fighters to support its development.

"We are different from other units. They first solve the existence and then make improvements. And we always put the goal to the highest, which makes our product prices impossible to be too low... But everyone must first To understand one thing, what we are studying is to enhance our national defense capabilities. If the army has no experience in using it, various training tasks are not done well, and a war breaks out, what if we can provide the most advanced weapons and equipment?" Wang Shunyi said, Let everyone fall into contemplation.

This is a very prominent contradiction.

The weapons and equipment studied by the Ninth Academy have advanced performance and high prices, which are in contradiction with the country's low economic level and the fact that the army is very poor.

"Although we have no profit, the military's order at least allows us to recover part of the scientific research funding investment on the J-10. These funds can continue to be invested in the project, and the institute's funds can be less invested in this area. Allocated..." Xie Heping also agreed not to provide profit to the military. "At the same time, if the number of 50 aircraft is provided, our army's combat capabilities can be effectively improved. This part of the fighter aircraft will form a combat aircraft. There will be many areas for capabilities and functions, such as the Taiwan Strait, the South China Sea, and even other border defenses..."

Liu Yijiu listened in silence, rarely expressing his own opinions.

One hundred and twenty million fighter jets are still very expensive equipment for the current Chinese military.

Fifty planes are worth six billion.

According to 150 million, the price will increase by 1.5 billion!

In the Chinese army, 1.5 billion, what can be done?

Among other things, just based on the 6.5 million Dragon Guard tanks, it can equip more than two hundred more. If it is equipped with other domestic tanks, the number can even be thousands!Even the modified J-8ii fighters can be equipped with dozens of more!

Not to mention the new rifles and others that cost only a few hundred dollars.

"In that case, let's follow this price. Regarding the military's billion dollars, we don't want money, but in the form of orders. What do you think?" Liu Yijiu asked everyone, "Since our purpose is for national defense, We cannot leave the army building unchanged for our development..."

He accepted this opinion.

The J-10 is not just samples and drawings.

If the troops cannot be equipped as soon as possible, and the military can form a certain combat capability, the Chinese Air Force will not be enough to look at the future crisis in the Taiwan Strait and the defense of sovereignty in the South China Sea!
