Chapter 211 Dwarf? Equipment that is already lagging behind even before mass production!
Thirty billion dollars?

Five years?

Upon hearing these two numbers, Alster's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

They Black and White Eagle are very rich.

But that’s not how money is spent!
Who can withstand tens of billions of dollars?
And more importantly, even with 30 billion, it will still take five years to restart the production line!
Five years!

How have they spent the past five years?
Will Longcun wait for them for five years?

Or should we let them huddle up and wait five years for the production line to restart?
No matter which one it is, it is impossible for them!
After a long time, Alster finally suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and then said again:
"What about our Lightning fighter? Can it be put into mass production now?"

After hearing this, Preston immediately said: "As for the Lightning fighter, Lockheed Martin has already given a reply. As long as our order funds are in place, they can mass-produce the Lightning fighter at any time..."

After receiving the response, Alster's face brightened slightly.

Lightning, this is their latest model of stealth fighter.

More than 80% of the villages in Blue Star do not have a hundred fighter planes!

Moreover, the cost of building a Raptor is too high, and the maintenance cost of the iron-based stealth coating is even more staggering!
For the raptors built before, in order to protect those golden bumps, they even had to spend huge sums of money to build special "air-conditioned rooms" for the raptors!
Without an "air-conditioned room", the Raptor's stealth coating would be easily eroded and destroyed by the natural environment!

One hundred and twenty doesn't sound like much.

However, due to some other reasons, the production plan of the Lightning fighter was delayed again and again...

The highest price of a Lightning is only $1.5 billion, and the most expensive Lightning is a quarter cheaper than a Raptor!

Thinking of this, Alster took a deep breath, and then asked again: "Has Lockheed Martin given a quotation? How much does the Lightning Fighter cost? If it is produced now, how much will they produce in a year?"

It is also a new generation of main fighter aircraft used to replace the Raptor, and even gradually replace the main forces such as the Fighting Falcon and Eagle fighter jets!
The development time is slightly later than that of the Raptor, and it absorbs and draws on many mature experiences of the Raptor.

"As for production issues, Lockheed Martin stated that with their current production capacity, they can provide at least 120 Lightning fighters a year..."

But that's a fighter!

Hearing this number, Alster nodded slightly.

The purchase price of a single Raptor is as high as 200 million U.S. dollars!

Looking around the world, there are only a handful of villages that can possess 120 fighter planes!

And it’s also a stealth fighter!
And in addition to the output, the price of Lightning is also cheaper.

But now, a Raptor reboot is clearly out of the question.

“In terms of price, the price given by Lockheed Martin is US$135 million for a model A conventional Lightning fighter, US$140 million for a model B short-range vertical take-off and landing Lightning fighter, and a price of US$140 million for a model C carrier-based Lightning fighter. One machine costs 1.5 billion knives..."

As early as six years ago, the Lightning fighter completed its first test flight.

There are even many villages that don’t even have fighter planes!
Not to mention an annual production of 120 fighter planes!

One hundred and twenty?

And these fighters also include old second-generation or even first-generation fighters...

Not just Raptors, but Ghost Bombers too!

Facing the inquiry, Preston pondered for a moment, and then slowly said:

The money saved by purchasing four Lightnings is enough to purchase a brand new Raptor...

But just when Alster nodded, Preston, the confidant in front of Alster, spoke again:
"Sir, with all due respect, although Lockheed Martin's Lightning fighter can be mass-produced, according to the data we have, the performance of the Lightning fighter is not enough to compete with Longcun's Sword Twenty!"

"Although the stealth ability of the Lightning Fighter is similar to that of the Raptor, it is still weaker than the Sword Twenty..."

"Also in terms of speed, although the Lightning fighter can cruise at supersonic speeds, the maximum speed of the Lightning is only Mach 1.6, while the maximum speed of the Sword Twenty is as high as Mach 2.2, and the cruising speed is as high as Mach 1.8!"

"In terms of speed alone, Twenty Swords are completely crushing against lightning!"

"In addition, the combat radius of Lightning fighters, even the C-type Lightning with the longest combat range, has a maximum combat radius of only 1,200 kilometers!"

"The shortest B-type lightning has a combat radius of less than a thousand kilometers!"

"In addition, in terms of bomb-carrying capacity, the maximum bomb load of the Lightning is only six tons. Without sacrificing the stealth performance, even the C model Lightning with the largest bomb load has a maximum internal bomb load of only Only a ton!”

"On the other hand, Longcun's Sword Twenty has a maximum bomb load of up to eleven tons, and the built-in magazine has a bomb load of more than four tons!"

"Although this data has not been confirmed and verified, even if it is reduced by half, the ammunition load of Sword Twenty is far greater than that of Lightning!"

"In a head-on confrontation, Lightning does not have any advantage..."

Hearing this, Alster's brows, which had just soothed, wrinkled again.

At this moment, Preston continued:

"In addition to these, there is also the radar of fighter jets. According to the information we have, the Yinglong fighter jets exported from Longcun can even detect targets of 1 square meter from kilometers away!"

"It is possible to detect targets of 0.5 square meters within a hundred kilometers! These data are all verified and real data!"

"In comparison, the radar carried by Lightning can only detect targets of no less than 5 square meters at a distance of 1 kilometers, and the detection range for targets of 150 square meter is only kilometers..."

"And the Yinglong fighter jet is just a fighter jet used by Longcun for export..."

After listening to what Preston said, Alster's face also became a little ugly.

The radar performance of the fighter jets exported by Longcun has reached such a terrifying level, and the radar of their stealth fighter that has not yet been put into service is not as good as the radar of the fighter jets exported by Longcun!

In other words, the radar of Longcun's own fighter planes is likely to absolutely crush the radar of their stealth fighters!
At this moment, the information Qian Zhizhong said in the previous video emerged in Alster's mind involuntarily.

According to the information disclosed by Qian Zhizhong in front of the whole world, the radar detection range of Jian Erwen is as high as 350 kilometers!

The maximum detection range of the Yinglong fighter jet previously disclosed by Longcun in the desert was 250 kilometers. But now they discovered that the radar of the Yinglong fighter jet can detect targets of one square meter even from a distance of 250 kilometers!

Doesn't that mean that the detection range of Jian Erwen's 350 kilometers also refers to the detection range of a one square meter target 350 kilometers away?
So within the 150-kilometer range of the latest model of air-to-air missile just announced by Longcun, what level will the Jianwen's radar detection capability reach?
Is it possible to directly discover their stealth fighters?

Thinking of this, Alster suddenly shuddered!

Suddenly, the entire office fell into dead silence.

You can hear a pin drop!

Looking at Alster in silence, Preston didn't say anything more.

As a staff member, he has reminded him of everything he can...

I don’t know how long it took, but Alster finally came back to his senses.

Then, Alster's deep voice sounded quietly: "Don't we have more advanced stealth fighters?"

Hearing this, Preston was startled, and then fell into silence.

A more advanced stealth fighter?

The most advanced stealth fighters they currently have are the Raptor and Lightning.

Even if price and cost factors are put aside, the Raptor is more advanced than their latest Lightning!

Of course, in terms of avionics and radar systems, the Raptor is definitely not as good as the Lightning, but these things can be replaced!

If the Raptor production line can be restarted, they can completely replace the Raptor's avionics and radar.

But, does this make sense?
Even if all the Raptor's avionics radars are replaced, what advantage will it have against the Jian Twenty?
Lightning's radar is not as good as Yinglong's radar at the exit of Longcun!
Not to mention Longcun’s own radar...

And what else do they have besides birds of prey and lightning?
That ugly big-mouthed monster that failed to compete with Lightning?
Not to mention whether the research and development of that thing has been completed, even if it is completed, it is still unknown whether it can be used against the Sword Ten Changes that Longcun put in the desert to promote, let alone the Sword Twenty!

Facing Preston's silence, Alster's face became even more gloomy.

Seeing this, Preston sighed slightly, and then slowly said: "Sir, I think we need to consider what Antonio said before..."

"Before we figure out the specific details of Jian Twenty and the weaknesses of Jian Twenty, or find a way to restrain Jian Twenty, we must think of other ways to check and balance Longcun, or stabilize Longcun!"

"We have the most powerful economy, the most powerful scientific research capabilities, and the most powerful military power. In the past few years, we have slacked off because we have no opponents, but we have enough foundation. As long as we are given some time, we want to surpass Longcun It’s not a problem at all, Longcun’s lead now is just temporary..."

Hearing this, Alster also came back to his senses, took a deep look at Preston, and then fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Alster raised his head again, turned his gaze to Preston, and said in a deep voice:
"So, Preston, what do you think we should do now?"

Facing the inquiry, Preston was silent for a moment, and then said:
"Our top priority now is to solve the problems of other villages first. Because of Long Village, our status is now seriously challenged!"

"Various villages are thinking more and more about us, especially in the desert. Recently, the poor camels have been moving more and more frequently, and the sand camels have been flying into the sky frequently with the fighter planes they just bought from Longcun. , and even flew near our base several times!”

“Such a trend must be suppressed!”

Hearing this, Alster nodded slightly.

However, he didn't say anything, but quietly waited for Preston's next words.

Preston did not sell out and continued:

"We are currently unable to form an effective check and balance on Longcun in terms of armed forces, but other villages are different. Even Shaluotuo, they have advanced fighters provided by Longcun, but no matter how advanced those fighters are, to put it bluntly, they are only fourth-generation aircraft. It’s four and a half generations at most!”

"But we have a fifth-generation machine like the Raptor in our hands! The Raptor may not be able to deal with Sword Twenty, but it can easily deal with that Yinglong Tianlong!"

"As long as we can suppress those restless camels, even if we are challenged by Dragon Village, we will still be the king of Blue Star!"

"We want all the villages in Blue Star to know that we may not be able to deal with Long Village, but we can easily deal with them!"

After a pause, Preston continued:
"I suggest that our competition should continue, but the location of the competition should be changed from the Pacific Ocean to the oil sea area!"

"Put it on the doorstep of Desert Camel's house! At the same time, invite those Desert Camels to participate, so that they can feel who is the real overlord of Blue Star!"

"In addition, we can also let the squids out. A peaceful desert is not what we want, what we want is oil! And what the desert needs is a vicious dog..."

After listening to what Preston said, Alster fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Alster nodded slightly, and then said again: "What about Longcun? What do you think we should do? Leave it alone?"

Hearing this, Preston pondered for a moment, and then said: "Longcun's current armed forces have grown explosively. There are Sword Twenty and that incredibly huge bomber fleet. Within their absolute territory, we want to It will be impossible to suppress them with armed force in a short time.”

"But beyond the absolute realm, Blue Star is still our world! We have Blue Star's most powerful fleet! In this regard, we still have an absolute advantage over Longcun! We can definitely use this to negotiate with Longcun!"

"In addition, we also have absolute advantages in economy and technology. Most of Longcun's high technologies have to rely on us!"

"For example, their high-end machine tools, their high-end medical equipment, their computers, their industrial software, their chips, their large aircraft, their operating systems, their artificial intelligence, etc., even ballpoint pens Beads, they can’t even produce them themselves now!”

"We have absolute control over these things, and we can completely block them from them! We can even use this to make them hand over the data and even technical information of Sword Twenty and even Thunder and Thunder God!"

After hearing what Preston said, Alster's eyes flickered slightly.

Yes!

Longcun may have the most advanced fighter planes and the most advanced drones!

But so what?

In other aspects, Longcun is still a dwarf!
Now Longcun is like a deformed monster!

Just like the old polar bear who only developed heavy industry but not light industry!
The heavy industry of the old polar bear even made them panic for a time!
But in the end, they still played the old polar bear to death!

But now, the gap between them and Longcun is wider than the gap between them and the old polar bear back then!
Almost all civilian high-tech fields in Longcun depend on them!
In other words, it depends on the Angsa Circle centered on their Black and White Eagle Village!
In this circle, they are not allowed, who dares to say no to them?
They can deal with Longcun just like they dealt with the old polar bear!

Then they cannibalized Longcun bit by bit!
