Chapter 1120: Revenge for the Ring Project
Originally, Liang Shao Xiuquan just listened to Casore’s words as a background story.
After all, the export model can never be more important than the self-use model.
Even if the other party tells the truth, I will definitely have to focus on the Air Police 2000.
However, after hearing what the other party said, he immediately completely threw his previous thoughts behind——
Liang Shaoxiu didn't care too much about what happened to Ericsson.
After all, the relationship between China and Sweden is purely commercial competition.
Just like last time in Siam, and later in South America.
Even if there is a victory or defeat, it is still a matter of business.
But Erta Company...
Or bidding for early warning aircraft?
Sorry, this involves personal grudges.
Although the hole dug in the ring project did not really reach Huaxia because of Chang Haonan.
But this will not go away so easily.
No matter which company the Middle Eastern oil man will choose in the end, as long as someone competes with David, our Haofei Group will definitely help!
Of course, thinking to himself, on the surface, Liang Shaoxiu still had to be steady and couldn't act too eager.
So he pretended to be calm and asked:
"Are we the only three participating?"
However, the reason why Kasore said what he just said was because he looked at It is certain that the Chinese side could not swallow the aggressive tactics they played in that tone back then.
If the person standing opposite him was an old fox like Zhu Linyu or Lin Zuoming, he might still be able to fight.
But as a technician, Liang Shaoxiu is still a little behind in his acting skills.
In fact, before he even opened his mouth, the changes in his eyes and expressions had already betrayed his inner thoughts.
However, Kasolei will not point it out.
After all, everyone’s goal is the same.
So I still pretended that I didn’t hear it and replied directly:
"If I have to say, there was another E2C that also participated in the bidding, but it was rejected after verification on paper... Of course, Northrop Grumman probably didn't take this order seriously, so it actually participated in the bidding in the end. There are only three of us.”
As a carrier-based early warning aircraft that compromises everything for catapult takeoff, the performance of the E2 series is indeed relatively average.
I'm sorry not to mention the range and speed. The key is to carry a two-coordinate radar. The only advantage is that it can detect in all directions, but it is offset by the cheating mechanical scanning...
< br>There is really no way to compare with the other three heroes.
What's more, the entire E2 series is equipped with more than one hundred aircraft, which is indeed not bad.
After a little preparation, Liang Shaoxiu asked the part he was most curious about:
"Is there any information about the products of the other two companies?"
In 2003, although Huaxia had already It has closer contacts with the West, especially Europe, but after all, it is still not considered "one of our own" in terms of military matters.
So a lot of information that is considered public to our European and American counterparts cannot be transmitted smoothly here.
The information gap still exists.
"Ericsson is mainly promoting products after replacement. It is still in the early stages of development, and there is no accurate information... The carrier aircraft should be the Global 5000 that made its first flight at the beginning of the year. It is similar in size to the Falcon 8Z, but it has longer range and speed. It’s a bit worse, which is a shortcoming.”
Casore did not forget to emphasize the performance advantages of his own platform -
Although a large part of it comes from China’s contribution. But at least the overall design is still the work of him and Ed Steiner:
“As for the Kingdom of David...the main promotion this time is the EL/W-2085 radar, which is similar to the one they are preparing to deliver to India. , it just changed from a disc antenna to a conformal array... you should be more familiar with it than me in terms of performance."
After saying that, he looked at Liang Shaoxiu with a meaningful look.
Arch fire.
Full of fire.
But I must admit, the effect is very good. Although Liang Shaoxiu has not lost his mind yet, he is already a little red-tempered:
“The comrades in charge of radar development and testing cannot leave yet, but if the information is complete, then we may be able to Let’s first start to understand the load conditions and structure of the platform..."
While the two were talking, the ground crew had already dragged the aircraft into the nearby assembly workshop.
At the same time, Liu Yongquan also came to Liang Shaoxiu to sign a pile of documents.
"Mr. Liu, I see that the academician selection results came out last week, so Academician Chang should be still in the capital now?"
He took out his pen and scribbled down his own Name, he asked casually to Liu Yongquan next to him.
Whether it is Falcon 8Z or optically controlled phased array radar, Chang Haonan plays an important role in them.
Although the latter did not continue to directly participate in the Air Police 2000 project after completing the communication technology verification, it is reasonable to send someone to report such a big matter.
However, Liu Yongquan looked shocked:
“You don’t know?”
Liang Shaoxiu stopped writing and looked up at the other party:
“What do you know? ”
"Academician Chang is in Haojing. He should have just arrived yesterday..."
Although Liang Shaoxiu and Chang Haonan have a close relationship, they are not in the same unit after all, and there is only one layer between them.
It is normal for information to be less timely.
"Then I have to go find him personally..."
...
Liang Shaoxiu is relatively efficient in doing things.
After making arrangements for Kasolei and his party, Liang Shaoxiu found a time to go to Haofa Group in a private capacity.
Of course, it is said to be a private identity, but it has only been four or five years since the separation of the two parties. Moreover, there is always a work connection, so it is not possible to really deny him as a person.
So I met Chang Haonan smoothly.
As soon as I came up, I naturally congratulated you as usual.
But Chang Haonan immediately saw that the other party had other purposes for coming here, so he quickly found an opportunity to change the topic:
"Old Liu reported to me two days ago, saying that it has been completed. The handover of the Falcon 8Z... So Comrade Shaoxiu, your visit this time must be related to the early warning aircraft, right? "
After these few days, Liang Shaoxiu also knew that he was not acting like one. , so he simply told the whole situation.
To be honest, although Chang Haonan originally positioned the "Gaoming" system for export, and it was mainly export sales to big dogs, he really didn't expect to find a third company besides France so quickly. Two buyers.
I can only say that luck can indeed work.
And when the other party mentioned that one of the competitors was David's Felcon System, he became excited instantly.
It’s just that due to the burden of my current status, it’s not easy to swear:
“Just wait for me...”
Chang Haonan has one hand on the table Knocked a few times:
“It’s time to take revenge on the Ring Project!”
Seeing that Mr. Chang's reaction was similar to his own, Liang Shaoxiu, who was still a little nervous at first, also gained confidence:
"I have already understood the specific situation with Mr. Didier Casore from Dassault. As far as the technical level of the product is concerned, we should have an absolute advantage..."
"I am confident about this."
Chang Haonan smiled and waved his hand.
After all, he came up with the idea of optically controlled phased array radar, and its advantage of wide bandwidth and angle scanning is absolutely unique in this era.
Therefore, he changed the topic again:
“But since we know this, then the other party must also know it...”
“So, in order to ensure that we can win the bid in the end...or at least To ensure that the Kingdom of David is not selected, some additional preparations are needed.”
