After saying that, Sir Carl respectfully handed the folder in his hand to Su Rui. When Su Rui took the file and took a brief look at it, his expression changed quickly, but he was annoyed.
Handing the document in his hand to Li Zongren, Su Rui looked at Sir Carl and said with a faint smile: "Sir Carl, I don't know how your government calculated this list, but for this return list
From the list of supplies compiled by the government, I can tell you clearly right now that this is absolutely impossible!"
Suri's voice was not loud, but it was resounding, and his expression was very determined, full of unquestionable flavor.
Sir Carl was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened: "Why? Don't you know that our government urgently needs these fighter planes to protect my airspace?"
At this time, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi also came together to look at the list. After they took a rough look, their faces became a little ugly. Before Su Rui could speak, Bai Chongxi spoke first: "
Sir Carl, the requirements for this list are not low. Let me see, not only do you require us to provide you with two hundred F6F Vixen fighter jets, one hundred P-51 Mustang fighter jets, and one hundred P-47 fighter jets within a month,
Thunder fighter jets, and even fifty B-24 Liberator fighter jets, do you want to pack all our belongings back to the UK?"
Now that he has been united with Su Ruibing, Bai Chongxi naturally regarded the belongings in the Fourth War Zone as his own. Regarding the list proposed by the British, he could see the sinister intentions of the other party at a glance. It stands to reason that the British suffered
It is true that when the Germans bombed, they urgently needed fighter planes to defend their skies. But buying fighter planes does not mean that the more models, the better. Generally speaking, the one that suits you is the best. Now the British have used all the excellent fighters in the four theaters
All the fighter planes were captured in one fell swoop, and the meaning behind it can be imagined.
As we all know, Britain is the most established industrial power, and its industrial foundation is needless to say. Although it is not as good as the United States, a country that has caught up from behind, it is one of the best in Europe. If these fighter jets fall into their hands, they will not be able to use a few of them.
Their engineers will be able to fully understand the performance of these fighters through reverse engineering and produce them themselves. In this way, the air superiority of the four theaters will become transparent to these Western countries.
What makes Bai Chongxi even more annoyed is that the British even plan to pack away the B-24 Liberator heavy bomber that they don't urgently need. They are planning to take the blame.
Faced with Bai Chongxi's accusation, Sir Carl's expression did not show the slightest fluctuation, and he continued to say in a calm tone: "General Bai, our government has no intention of spying on your country's fighter planes, but we don't know which one at the moment.
Fighters are the most suitable for us. Therefore, we purchase some of each of your fighters and let pilots evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of these fighters through actual combat. Finally, we can decide which fighter to purchase in large quantities. As for why even heavy bombers are required
The reason for buying them together is because our government has decided that since German bombers can bomb London, the great capital of our British Empire, then we must retaliate in kind. We will send bombers to bomb Berlin, Germany. And we also heard that you have a very excellent heavy bomber.
, so I expressed my intention to purchase.”
"hehe……"
Bai Chongxi was so angry that it was as if he had discovered for the first time that these foreigners were so capable of telling lies with open eyes and their cheeks were amazingly thick. Just when he wanted to continue to accuse the other party, Su Rui stretched out his hand.
Stopped him. He turned to Sir Carl and said: "Sir Carl, I am very grateful to the returned government for paying such high attention to our fighter planes. But if we buy them all and test them out before studying them, there is no need. Here I can introduce one to you.
It is an excellent fighter aircraft and I think it is very suitable for taking on the responsibility of protecting your country's airspace."
Sir Karl said seriously: "Really...General Su, please speak."
Suri smiled slightly and said: "I think that P-47 Thunder fighter is very good. It has powerful armor, excellent dive speed and maneuverability. It will definitely be effective against the German BF-109 fighter.
People have unexpected effects. There is a proverb in our country called "You can't bite off more than you can chew", which means that people who are too greedy will end up with nothing."
In his words, Suri pointed out mercilessly that the British were spying on his fighter planes and technology, which made Sir Carl blush so hard that Nono was speechless for a moment.
At this time, Hurley on the side spoke: "General Su, what about your bomber nicknamed the Liberator? Don't you plan to sell it?"
After listening to Hurley's words, Suri turned around and looked at Hurley with a half-smile: "Why, is the U.S. government also interested in our military's bombers?"
"Yes!" Unlike Sir Carl, who wanted to refuse and welcome back, the Americans were much more straightforward on this point. Hurley said frankly: "Our country is indeed very interested in this bomber of yours. If you
We would be very grateful if you could sell it to our country."
"Yes!" In the stunned eyes of everyone, Suri miraculously agreed to this almost impossible and unreasonable request, "As long as your government is willing to buy it, of course we can sell it to you."
"What, are you telling the truth?" Hurley swallowed hard and shouted out loud. Only when the words came out one by one did he realize his gaffe and quickly changed his words: "General Su,
So what price do you plan to sell it for?"
Suri slowly stretched out a finger and said with a smile: "A B-24 Liberator bomber costs 900,000 US dollars. If you want to buy it, you have to buy at least 100. A P-47 fighter jet costs 300,000 US dollars."
There are two hundred aircraft in one batch. I wonder how many aircraft your government plans to buy?"
"Hiss..." There was a gasp of cold air in the office, and a thought came to everyone's mind, "Black... so damn black!"
Hurley's expression also changed a little, and he said very unhappily: "General Su, as far as I know, even the most advanced bombers now only cost about 300,000 US dollars, and the most advanced fighter jets only cost about 300,000 US dollars.
It’s one hundred thousand U.S. dollars, and it tripled as soon as you asked. Isn’t this price too high?”
"Is it high?" Su Rui sneered: "Colonel Hurley, we are all smart people, let's stop talking in circles. If you buy our fighter plane, you just need to take it back and do some reverse reasoning, and it won't take long
You can build exactly the same aircraft, and then our secrets will be gone. Don’t tell me that you just bought it for viewing. That will make me look down on you. The reason why I offered this price is because of the
Including our patent fees.”
"Uh..." As soon as Su Rui said such blunt words, Hurley was speechless. Because Su Rui was telling the truth. Whether it is the United States or the United Kingdom, they will definitely dismantle these aircraft after they buy them back.
Hurley is even sure that as long as these aircraft are bought back and used within three months, relying on the strong comprehensive national strength of the United States, those aircraft manufacturers can imitate exactly the same thing.
But Su Rui quickly said with a smile: "Of course, this is only the price of the first batch. If you want to continue buying the second batch, we can lower the price and I will give you a 50% discount! Opportunity
It’s rare, so don’t miss it. Also, Sir Karl, do you need any weapons? I have anti-aircraft guns, semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns, light and heavy machine guns, howitzers, and even trucks, everything you want, I can buy it
Sold to you, we guarantee a lot of discounts on price!”
Seeing Su Rui selling his products so diligently, Hurley and Sir Carl couldn't help but smile bitterly. This General Su really has the qualities of a profiteer.
Looking at Suri who was eloquent there, Hurley couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "General Su, I really wonder if you worked as a salesman for an insurance company before joining the army."
"Insurance salesman?" Su Rui was startled, "I did do it, but I only did it for less than half a year and stopped doing it."
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed bitterly, but everyone took this as a joke from Suri.
Only the client himself understood that he had really worked as an insurance salesman, but he stopped working after a few months.
The reason why Su Rui worked so hard to sell these weapons to the other party and sold them something as important as the B-24 Liberator bomber was because Su Rui knew that even if he did not sell it to them, the United States, which has a strong comprehensive national power,
People will develop these things by next year at the latest, and they can still sell them at a good price now. If they wait until the Americans come up with them themselves, they won't want to sell them to others even if they want to sell them.
And the most important thing is that Suri knows that the British still have a foreign exchange reserve of up to 4.5 billion U.S. dollars. Rather than taking advantage of the Americans, it is better to take advantage of himself. He does not expect this 4.5 billion U.S. dollars.
It would be a great thing to get them all, but even if you could get half of them, you would be able to do a lot more.
Thinking of this, Su Rui couldn't help but look at Sir Carl with a golden light, as if he saw a golden mountain waving to him.
The talks continued, and after two hours of wrangling, Sir Carl finally purchased 200 P-47 Thunder fighter jets on behalf of the British government, and jointly purchased 100 B-24 Liberator bombers with the U.S. government, as well as 200
M107 cannons, three hundred M75 anti-aircraft guns, two hundred M118 anti-aircraft guns and one thousand M1919A4 heavy machine guns, bullets and shells are not included, and these items added nearly 200 million US dollars to Suri's account.
