Chapter 207
“Mr. Ruslan, these fighters are ordered by your country, you can check them out.”
Davis took Ruslan to a corner of the base and pointed at dozens of F15E fighters parked in front of him.
Hearing this, Ruslan took a deep breath and tried to pretend to be calm, but seeing the fighters in front of him, he couldn’t hide his excitement.
“Rumi, take them to check”
“Yes!”
After receiving the order, Rumi waved his hand and led nearly a hundred pilots to conduct the inspection.
All the planes were brand new, so there was no problem.
An hour later,
Rumi came to the two of them.
“How is it?”
Seeing Rumi coming over, Ruslan asked about the situation.
“No problem, everything is brand new, no signs of use.” After a pause, Rumi looked hesitant.
Seeing his hesitation, Ruslan couldn’t help but shudder:”What? What’s the problem?”
Rumi looked at Davis, and finally said:”General, there is no problem from the appearance, the main reason is that it has not been tested, and we don’t know how the plane is.”
“This is easy.”
Davis smiled and waved his hand, and immediately asked someone to go to the base to find a pilot who could fly the F15E fighter. Although
Columbia had not equipped the F15E fighter before, it still had the F16.
The cockpit design of American fighters is very similar.
As long as you are experienced and familiar with the operating manual, you can get started.
It’s just that you can’t compare with those professional pilots who fly F15E fighters.
Soon, a pilot trotted over, and Davis explained the situation to him.
The latter nodded, then found the operating manual and learned about the aircraft.
In less than forty minutes, the pilot said it was okay.
Davis nodded, indicating that the pilot could Take off.
After receiving the order, the suicide pilot recruited from the system, with the assistance of the ground crew, slowly drove out of the apron and taxied towards the runway.
Arrived at the take-off site.
In about a minute, the hot flames at the tail instantly spurted out, and the plane’s taxiing speed became faster and faster.
Then, when it was still fifty or sixty meters away from the end of the runway, the plane had successfully taken off and flew straight into the sky.
It performed a routine flying posture in the air, such as 207 dry land onion pulling, rolling, and high-angle oblique flying, all of which performed well.
Then the plane slowly descended, and on the runway, the tires”sizzled” and left marks.
Finally, it landed successfully and slowly slid to the parking area.
“Mr. Ruslan”
“Mr. Rumi, do you have any questions?”
Davis looked at the two of them with a smile.
Ruslan laughed:”Of course there is no problem with the planes sold by Mr. Davis.”
Then, he pretended to be angry and glared at Rumi:”This is Mr. Davis, how dare you question the weapons he sells.”
Rumi apologized to Davis after hearing this:”Sorry!” Davis smiled and waved his hand, not caring whether the two were singing a double act
“Mr. Ruslan, according to the agreement, you need to pay 30% of the total amount before you can drive away these fighters. After the fighters arrive in your country, you can pay the remaining 20% of the balance.”
“Got it. I’ll call right away.”
Ruslan nodded and immediately asked someone to take out the satellite phone and contact China.
These were all agreed upon when the contract was signed.
When he came this time, the Chinese side had already prepared the remaining balance.
He called back to China and explained the situation on the scene.
About half an hour later, Ruslan received a call from China and learned that the money had been remitted to the other party’s account. He quickly walked up to Davis and said,”The second 30% payment has been remitted to the designated bank account.”
Hearing this, Davis called to confirm. After all, there was no mobile banking fund arrival reminder function at the moment, not even an SMS function.
However, the 2G mobile phone that Blue Ocean Electronics is about to launch has an SMS function, which can remind bank card fund changes via SMS.
“OK！”
Davis, who hung up the phone, smiled and said to Ruslan,”When are these fighters going to be shipped?”
Ruslan looked at his own pilot who was still chewing the operating instructions, and shook his head and said,”It may take a day or two.”
Hearing this, Davis nodded, and did not urge him. Not everyone is as good as the Colombian pilot.
In the afternoon.
Davis received people from Samba.
Compared with Atin, there are a lot of people coming to Samba this time, a full 500 people.
It’s not surprising, after all, Samba ordered a full 275 fighters this time, so naturally there are more people coming.
Two days later.
After getting familiar with the operation, the pilots of the two countries finally did not make any trouble and flew away this batch of more than 300 fighters.
After a few days, the remaining 20% of the balance was received.
Compared with the first transaction in South America, which still has a skeptical attitude towards Galaxy Trading Company, there is no doubt at all in the Middle East countries such as Shaluotu.
After a long voyage, Colombia’s Medellin aircraft carrier battle group successfully arrived at Dammam, an important port city in the Persian Gulf.
As for the US aircraft carrier battle group, it had already left and docked in the waters of Oman.
Although the two countries have ceased war, in order to avoid conflict, Bush Sr. decisively ordered the evacuation of the aircraft carrier battle group in the Persian Gulf.
After learning that the Colombian aircraft carrier battle group had arrived, the elderly Prince Sultan personally came to greet it. After all, it was he who facilitated the joining of the Barranquilla Cooperation Organization.
Naturally, he was the happiest about the arrival of the Colombian aircraft carrier battle group.
Even King Fahd came to see in person after knowing that the aircraft carrier battle group had arrived to see if the Colombian aircraft carrier battle group was really better than the US aircraft carrier battle group.
At this moment, a huge monster was docked in the military port. The huge figure of the aircraft carrier could be seen from a long distance. Around it were two 005 destroyers, several 052 destroyers and several frigates docked.
Upon learning that King Fahd and Prince Sultan were coming,
Fleet Commander Vice Admiral Rowell personally greeted them.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Rowell took Fahd, Sultan and other important members of the Saudi Camel royal family to visit the Medellin aircraft carrier.
When they arrived on the deck, they saw a dense array of stealth fighters, electronic warfare, and early warning aircraft parked, and the Saudi Camel royal family members gasped.
It’s not that they haven’t visited the US aircraft carrier battle group before, but the US one is obviously not this big.
“General, how much did your country spend to buy such an aircraft carrier?”
Fahd asked curiously.
Sultan also pricked up his ears.
Lowell smiled and said,”I don’t know the exact amount, but the purchase price should not be less than 6 billion US dollars.”
Hiss!
6 billion US dollars for an aircraft carrier.
This price can buy dozens of stealth fighters.
If just one aircraft carrier is so expensive, then the entire aircraft carrier battle group will cost 10 or 20 billion US dollars?
Sure enough, this aircraft carrier battle group is something that rich people play with.
“In fact, given your country’s actual situation, if you want to strengthen your navy, you can consider purchasing an amphibious assault ship.”
“Amphibious assault ship?” (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Sultan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head:”What’s the use of this? We are not attacking islands.”
Lowell smiled and said:”Amphibious assault ships are not only used for attacking islands, they can also have the functions of aircraft carriers, and can launch fighter jets and helicopters from the deck.”
“I can understand helicopters, but I have never seen a fighter jet take off.”
“Indeed, there is an amphibious assault ship, the Columbus, which can vertically take off and land Lightning B fighter jets and can carry 20 fighter jets. It is much smaller than the Medellin aircraft carrier, weighing less than 30,000 tons, and is very suitable for your country.”
Hearing Lowell (cibf) say this, King Fahd and Prince Sultan instantly became interested. If their Shaluo Camel was equipped with one, wouldn’t it be the first country in the Arab world to own an aircraft carrier?
Of course, this is the idea. Compared with the navy, Shaluo Camel pays more attention to the air force and the army.
The main reason is that the narrow Red Sea and the Persian Gulf waters can be easily covered by missiles.
Even some long-range rockets can easily hit them.
In such a narrow sea area, equipping an aircraft carrier battle group is undoubtedly a live target.
So based on these circumstances, most of the purchases made by the Shaluo Camel Navy are frigates, patrol ships, missile boats and the like.
After visiting and witnessing the Columbia aircraft carrier battle group, Fahd and Sultan seemed to have taken a reassurance pill.
Especially after learning that Columbia has 4 aircraft carrier battle groups like this, and 2 amphibious assault ship strike groups, they felt a little uneasy. It is completely gone.
The president and prime minister of the Emirates also came to visit.
Originally, the relationship between Shaluotu and the Emirates was very close. Now, after joining the”Barranquilla Cooperation Organization” which symbolizes the alliance relationship, the relationship has become closer and they have become allies.
A week later.
That is, in late October.
Shaluotu and the Emirates announced that a new oil settlement currency, the new Colombian peso, would be added.
When the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar around the world.
Everyone looked at the United States across the ocean.
After all, the United States was the biggest impact of this incident.
Before this, oil settlement was in US dollars.
At this moment, the White House of the United States.
All military and political officials looked unhappy.
Shaluotu and the Emirates are important oil-producing countries in the Middle East. Although only a new trading currency has been added, who knows whether the next step will be to kick the US dollar out of the settlement currency.
Once the US dollar is kicked out of the settlement system, how can the United States reap the world’s wealth?
“Mr. President, we must put pressure on the Camel and the Emirates. This gap cannot be opened, otherwise it will shake the United States.”Vice President Dan Quayle said seriously.
The others followed suit.
The Camel and the Emirates quietly announced the addition of a new oil settlement currency.
They were all afraid.[]
I am afraid that next time, they will be kicked out of the settlement currency without any sound.
And even if the two countries do not intend to kick the US dollar out of the settlement currency, the addition of the Colombian peso will cause the US dollar to no longer be the only major currency in circulation in the world, shaking the status of the US dollar.
This is more serious than losing a war and sinking an aircraft carrier fleet.
At this time, Bush Sr. was also furious.
Colombia is now aggressive. It controlled the Panama Canal before, and now it wants to shake the US strategic layout in the Middle East. It simply wants to disintegrate the US hegemony.
It must fight back, otherwise they will really treat the United States as mud.
“Dan Quayle, you personally visit the Camel and the Emirates, and force them to give up this decision no matter what means you use.”
After a pause, Bush Sr. looked at Secretary of State Colin:”You go to Venezuela and seek reconciliation with them, and express our support for Venezuela. Colombia is pursuing expansionism and has even proposed to restore Gran Colombia. I believe Venezuela is the most nervous right now.”
At this point, Bush Sr. laughed:”Doesn’t Colombia like to go against us? Then we will also trip him up. This time, Venezuela, Chile, Bolia, Samba and other countries will clamp down on him.
In addition, we will secretly support the resistance forces in Miru, Eguar and Colombia, so that Colombia will fall into internal friction. After our strength is restored, we will fight them head-on.”
Everyone did not have much confidence in Bush Sr.’s proposal for a head-on battle.
“Mr. President, why don’t you just nuke Colombia and launch thousands of nuclear bombs at it? Even if Colombia has the ability to counterattack with nuclear weapons, the number will not be too large, and the air defense system will definitely be able to intercept them.
Even if they are not intercepted, it will be a minority. As long as it does not shake the foundation of the country and eliminates a powerful opponent, I think it is worth it.”Defense Secretary Cheney said that at this moment, he was more worried about the growth of Colombia’s military strength than many congressmen and politicians.
The evacuation of the aircraft carrier battle group in the Persian Gulf this time is the best example.
When will their US aircraft carrier battle group be because the enemy is coming, and the main���Withdraw.
Even when the Soviet Union was at its strongest, the United States was not as cowardly as it is now.
“Cheney, are you crazy? Colombia has nuclear submarines. One nuclear submarine can launch more than a dozen Trident intercontinental missiles. A nuclear warhead can easily destroy a city. Do you plan to let the whole American be buried with you?
And no one knows how many nuclear submarines Colombia has…
I will not agree with your proposal.”
Cheney’s words immediately aroused opposition from the Secretary of State and the Vice President.
Although both of them agreed to suppress and carry out color revolutions, they were unwilling to start a nuclear war.
It is said that the missile system can intercept, but who can guarantee that it can intercept?
Bush Sr. was also frightened by Cheney’s shocking words. He shook his head and said,”Forget this suggestion. Nuclear war will affect the whole body. It is better not to fight. It is better to find a way to disintegrate Colombia from within. This is the most effective way.”
“Increase infiltration into Columbia and try to stir up internal conflicts among them.”
“The same is true for Panama.”
“Just like we disintegrated the Soviet Union and other countries.
Holding high the banner of our democracy, we are not afraid of not being able to disintegrate Colombia.”
Dan Quayle echoed:”Mr. President is right. When facing a country with nuclear weapons, the most effective way we should take is to disintegrate it from within, support their anti-government armed forces, and mess them up. This is the most effective way.”
The others also agreed to disintegrate Colombia from within.
In this regard,
Cheney sighed and said nothing more.
