1078: C1078 Highly Arrogant

C1078 Highly Arrogant

Today's visit at the base was quite pleasant. Seeing that President Bammou had already decided on this introduction and that it was time to continue the discussion, it was time to sign the contract. At this moment, Qin Guan frowned slightly.

Another group of people came from afar. Qin Guan relied on the powerful Spirit Focus scanning system to know that they were from Northrop.

It was no wonder that they had been promoting the F-5G here recently. It seemed that the negotiations were about to be successful. Suddenly, Qin Guan interrupted them again. The duck in their hands was about to fly away. How could they not be anxious?

Generally speaking, the countries that were promoting did not meet with each other. If they met, wouldn't they start fighting? However, they had been shut out for a few days and were very anxious. They heard that President Bammou was here to inspect. Thus, they took the initiative to attack.

The leader was the chairman of the Northrop company, the decision-maker, John. Thomas personally attacked because this project was of great importance.

Northrop relied on the F-5 fighter aircraft to make a lot of money in the international Arms Market. In their eyes, there were thousands of F-5G markets. How could they not value it?

Northlop was one of the major aircraft manufacturers in Y Country. It was founded by John Northlope. Northlope's famous products included the P-61 Black Widow Night Combat Jet, F-5 Free Warrior. F-20 Tiger Shark, B-2, T-38. And the YF-23 Black Widow that lost to F-22 in the competition!

It could be said that their military aircraft research and development ability was quite powerful, especially the YF-23. This aircraft was simply a sci-fi technology. In the competition, it should be their performance that was better.

Unfortunately, the Y Country Air Force was afraid. In the research and development of the third-generation F-15, they kept looking at the indicators and felt that the F-100 engine indicators were high enough. What was the result? There was a problem with reliability. The F-15 had been stuck for several years because of the engine problem. Therefore, he still felt that science fiction was not good. It was better to focus on this point.

Northrop's fighter aircraft had failed to bid because it was too advanced. It was simply a miracle.

Although it had failed, they had succeeded on the B-2 bomber. Because the B-2 bomber, a futuristic flying wing model, had been successfully developed by them. It had become the strategic force of Y Country, but unfortunately, their cost control was not good. Because of this, Y Country was unable to afford it. In the end, they simply equipped twenty or so of them. It was just symbolic.

In the future, the Northrop and Grumman Company merged and became the world's number one weapon giant (or number 2).

Now, the Northrop company was at its most difficult time.

It was very difficult to continue selling the F-5 Second-generation Aircraft. It had to go through an upgrade before it could be sold. This kind of engine needed to be changed. Airlines and other improved planes needed sufficient funds. If it could be sold in advance, of course it would be the best. The company's investment would not go down the drain.

At the same time, another project of the company was also unpredictable. This was the advanced diamond.

The success of Lockheed in the F117 made Y Country Air Force very satisfied. They all hoped to continue working hard. After all, the F117 was just an attack aircraft with a short range of attack. They could not satisfy the needs of Y Country Air Force. They wanted to make an invisible bomber.

As the main company that developed the military aircraft, Northrop naturally would not give up this opportunity. After all, the order of the Y Country Air Force was as high as a hundred units. This was a huge market.

The code name of the Northrop's plan was "Advanced Diamond." It was an advanced airplane designed by the wings. It looked very sci-fi, and the code name of the Lockheed's plan was "Advanced Nail." It was similar to an enlarged version of an F-117.

"Advanced Diamond" was the company's main project. The company's advanced plan was to let the company's Vice President, Velko E? The director of the plan was Howl? Mal Kaliang was currently in the bidding phase, so their investments were all on the company's own. It was quite a burning money.

Although they were determined to get it, due to the Lockheed's achievements in stealth technology and the collaborative unit, Rockwell's experience in the B-1 project, people generally believed that the team would win the competition.

Now, it was the time to decide life and death. A few more months would pass. On October 20, 1981, the Y Country Air Force announced that Northrop would be the winner of the ATB contract, flight number B-2. They also signed the initial contract of six probation aircraft and two static testing aircraft, as well as the intent to order 127 production bombers. The plan was to achieve initial combat ability in 1987.

This outcome was very confusing. In fact, from a technical point of view, it was not appropriate. The important thing still had to depend on the Y Country Air Force's own considerations.

They had suffered a loss on the F100 engine. Because they had chosen PFC as the contractor, after losing the competition, Pu Hui Company ended up being high and mighty, even though they knew there was a problem with the engine. They just didn't want to improve it, and they just slowly carried it out. The capitalist's face showed no doubt that he was asking for funds from the Air Force.

It was only when the air force could not bear it anymore that General Electric's F110 engine came out. This time, Pu Hui Company felt the pressure and started to power up to mature the F100 engine.

YCountry Air Force had suffered a huge loss in this aspect. If it was not for the F110, who knew how long it would take for the F100 to start. How much money would it cost?

Hence, their eyes were only filled with competition.

Lockheed had succeeded in the F117 project. If the B-2 project was handed over to them, Lockheed would monopolize the company. If they continued to delay... The Air Force really had no temper when it came to funding. Therefore, the Air Force had to support another company to be on par with them.

Unfortunately, the Northrop company that came later was really disappointing. Their cost control was a mess. The cost of building the company continued to rise, and in the end, it made the Y Country Air Force lose their patience. They also lost the opportunity to develop the YF23. When the Air Force was selecting the model, it definitely took into account the cost control of the two families.

In a few months, they would have the results of the bid for the B-2, and the hope was still very small. Of course, they attached more importance to the current F-5G project.

Thomas's expression was gloomy as he looked at the few people present. He snorted from his nose and swept his gaze across Qin Guan and Stanley. Then he said to Vice President Bammou, "Mr. President, we are very sincere in promoting our aircraft to you. But I didn't expect you to secretly abandon us and have such a relationship with the Han people. Are you looking down on our Y Country? "

Hearing the arrogant attitude of the other party, Qin Guan couldn't help but feel delighted in his heart. Who would talk about business like this? It would be a miracle if the business didn't collapse!2

Initially, he was afraid that it would be difficult to deal with them, but after hearing what the other party said, Qin Guan was confident that he would be able to deal with them. Today, he would just kill you here. Do you think that you can stand straight just because you are backed by Y Country?

One should know that the vice president in front of him hated this kind of arrogance the most!
