"Just say if you can get it. You don't have to worry about other things. Even if they drive F35 to fight sparrows, you won't care."

Yang Cheng sucked her teeth and seemed a little embarrassed, "I can't speak to the F35's exit. I have to speak from above or Los Angeles Company, but I can contact you to see the situation before talking~"

"Okay, you can have some snacks anyway~"

"OK, thank you no matter what.

"Don't be polite, I said, I am grateful to me for being able to move the headquarters of the Yuanshan Bank to Liechtenstein."

"Ha, guy who can't get up early without profit, don't worry, I will consider this~"

...

At 10 o'clock in the morning, two Austrian officers Alois had made an appointment appeared in the hotel and entered Yang Cheng's suite cautiously.

One of them is a senior executive of the Federal Army and a big shot who has a say in arms procurement. However, this person is very low-key, wearing ordinary casual clothes, and looks no different from a retired old man, but his huge hooked nose still reveals his bloodline.

Speaking of which, the Austrian army is still very interesting. They do not have an independent air force, while the so-called air force is more like a department under the army.

As for the navy, haha, although Austria is an inland country, it also has a navy. Not only Austria, but also Hungary next to it, and Mongolia further apart, are also naval-based.

It is not a joke that Mr. Guo said that Mr. Yu's father once served as the commander of the Mongolian navy, although there are only 7 people in the navy.

However, the word "navy" is now still in the memories of the Austrians. There was a heavy artillery pocket patrol boat "Lower Austria" that had been around for nearly 50 years and had never been willing to abandon it. It has been wandering on the Danube for a long time. It can be regarded as the undeserved new force of this small European state in the core of the empire.

The Austrian "Naval" fleet has a total of 2 "motorized floaters" such as those that can be called small boats.

The first was the "Col. Brecht" patrol boat that was allowed to be built after the occupation forces first withdrew in 1955. It was completed and delivered in 1958. It uses a steel hull with a total length of 12.3 meters, a maximum width of 2.51 meters, a displacement of 10.83 tons, and a draft of 0.8 meters.

The engine was originally two Grafsteft 6-cylinder diesel engines. After 1986, it was replaced by two new Mann diesel engines, with a maximum speed of 15.5 knots. Therefore, it is not entirely wrong to call this thing "water motorized floating objects". It is just that it can drive, and its speed cannot keep up with a huge ship of tens of thousands of tons.

The "Col. Brecht" is equipped with a 12.7mm machine gun and an 84mm anti-tank gun, which is the "Karl Gustav resilient gun".

With these two weapons, it has some deterrent power, which is equivalent to tying an axe on a petite thin man's hand. It looks quite intimidating, but for the Austrians, the "Collector Brecht" is not only responsible for daily patrols, but also for military transport, personnel training, and even as a boatman and a waterway surveyor, although the crew is at most 6 people.

In the following half century, Austria has been taking good care of the "Col. Brecht", adding steel plates and changing to "bridges". In 2000, it even painted a brand new blue, white and gray camouflage.

The "Lower Austria" is made up of the remaining hulls on two old-fashioned boats of the age of **. The boat was also built by the Kohl Newcastle Shipyard. It was put into service in 1970 and was put into use four days later.

The original plan was to build a total of 12 ships to protect all the bridges and coastal power plants on the Danube River. The tone was really great, but such a huge sum of money was really hard to come up with. In order to be more psychologically, the number was reduced to 9 ships first, and soon it was lowered to 6 ships. Of course, it was just a beautiful dream. The final number was 1 ship, although the personnel training of Boat 2 was almost the same.

However, from the appearance, it is much more imposing than the "Col. Brecht". It is similar to an amphibious tank. It uses a fully welded aluminum hull and is equipped with 8mm special steel armor.

The size is much larger. Although compared to the real warship, it is still a pocket toy. It has a total length of 29.64 meters, a width of 5.41 meters, a draft of 1.1 meters, a displacement of 73.06 tons, and is equipped with two 16-cylinder diesel engines, equipped with Mannheim turbochargers, a maximum speed of 23 knots, a cruising endurance of 1,700 kilometers, a standard crew of 9 people, and a maximum of 12 people, but there are only 10 berths, which means that if you sail with full load, two people cannot stay overnight on the ship.

The main weapon is an Erickon 20mm cannon, which is uniquely installed on the top of the bridge, can rotate 360 ​​degrees, with a fire rate of 900 rounds per minute, and can deal with targets up to 2.3 kilometers away. There are also 12.7mm machine guns, two 7.62mm machine guns, and two 84mm Kargustav bazooka launchers. The cabin is also equipped with 8 boat assault rifles and 8 grenade launchers. The bridge is equipped with a dual- or triple acoustic alarm device, which is the speaker.

It was not until 2003 that radar was added, which was considered a modern modification.

For many years, the "Col. Brecht" and the "Lower Austria" have been roaming back and forth on the Danube borders of Germany, Australia and Slovakia, using "giant cannons" to deter criminals who may be lurking on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, or act as tugboats or disaster rescue platforms when encountering accidents. If the mind wants to go to a certain place to inspect and enjoy the beautiful waterscape, it will also be picked up and sent back and forth.

As the endorsement of the image of a national river chief that has long been low-key, the "Lower Austria" has also visited neighboring countries twice: Slovakia and Hungary.

However, in the end, the Austrian "Navy" patrol boat squadron was disbanded. The retired main boats were sent to Vienna and delivered to the Military History Museum. The maintenance was carried out by Admiral Franz Ferdinand's Grand Duke Ocean Association. The modern Austrian "Navy" that had been spending a 70-year-old finally dissipated in the dust of history.

In such a country, now it is suddenly said that it will be equipped with several F35s that are beyond the ages. Yang Cheng feels like a joke no matter how she hears it.

Of course, he can't laugh at him in front of other people's Austrian officials.

Back to the point, Alois revealed the news to Yang Cheng in advance. In fact, even if the matter was finalized, Yang Cheng didn't need to worry about negotiating.

Since the other party is willing to come, it means that the cooperation intention is very strong. When you are willing, the dialogue between the two parties is very friendly. After a few rounds, the cooperation matters will be almost confirmed.

But when it comes to the topic of F35, the powerful boss in the Austrian Jun side asked, "F35 has been reduced recently, right? I wonder if Mr. Yang can get the biggest discount~"

Yang Cheng was speechless, thinking this was a wholesale toy model? It also had the biggest discount~

But he still said truthfully, "As far as I know, the unit price of F35 has dropped to $89 million in the big orders that Los Angeles just sold."

He hesitated for a moment and said kindly, "My suggestion is that you are thinking carefully. The F35 will fly outside the border by just stepping on the accelerator. You are not very useful.

Furthermore, you may not be able to afford the high maintenance costs~”

He was telling the truth, but for the people on Junfang, this was a bit too much, as if he was mocking their military strength.

Sure enough, the two guanmen looked not very good, but they didn't say much. After all, it was the fact, and Yang Cheng's smile was very friendly, so they couldn't choose.

"This price will definitely be lowered later. After all, when it was first delivered, it was a sky-high price of more than 100 million yuan. Who would have thought that you could buy one for less than 90 million yuan now?

However, compared with the sharply reduced single-machine price, maintenance costs are increasing, and the US military is complaining about this~”

The other party asked, "What's the reason?"

Yang Cheng shrugged, "As far as I know, it is a problem with parts. Due to the high technical content, the maintenance of stealth fighter jets has always been a difficult problem. In order to reduce the later maintenance cost of the F35, Lockheed Martin has developed an automatic logistics information system (ALIS) for the F-35, which can maintain the fighter jets throughout their life cycle.

However, if you want to achieve full life cycle maintenance, you cannot do without the collection of information about the various components of the F35 stealth fighter. The historical information of the components, the remaining life and other information are all within the collection range. After obtaining detailed data, technicians can determine whether an F-35 has safety hazards in a short period of time. Once a certain component is found to have problems, they can quickly replace the components to maximize the combat effectiveness.

If the automatic logistics information system can be promoted, the US military's fighter aircraft maintenance will enter the information age, which can not only improve maintenance efficiency but also reduce maintenance costs.

However, many suppliers that provide parts for Lockheed Martin have not used automatic logistics information systems, or the data is incomplete, resulting in the system not including information about all parts, which makes technicians unable to fully trust the information provided by the automatic logistics information system. After all, there are still many information such as the service life of the parts that have not been entered into the system.

When encountering parts with incomplete data, technicians can only suspend their work and notify Lockheed Mart, asking Lockheed Mart to provide relevant data. Lockheed Mart also needs to ask suppliers for information. In this process, it takes a lot of time to collect data and obtain new parts.

I remember that before, the F35 ejection seat data was incomplete. In order to solve this problem, the US military had to spend several months. At the same time, as the user of the F35 stealth fighter, the US military had to pay a lot of fees.

There is no doubt that the problems existing in the automatic logistics information system make the later maintenance of the F35 stealth fighter more complicated and expensive.

Generally speaking, a fighter can serve for 20 years or even longer. During this period, the F35 needs to replace a large number of parts to maintain combat effectiveness, so later maintenance will become a heavy burden. If you think clearly, I will not miss the opportunity to make money, but because Alois is sandwiched in the middle, I am willing to explain these issues to you clearly, and you should consider the rest yourself."

The other party said, "Thank you for your advice, we will consider it carefully~"
