Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

It can be said that little Ustinov's answer is quite domineering, and it makes people feel passionate when listening to it; but all this is based on the country's strong military strength! It is estimated that only the Soviets in the world dare to say this; and the United States still has no choice but to sit on the sidelines and worry!

The American reporter was very angry, but thinking of the other party's identity, he really didn't dare to say anything more. In recent years, Ustinov Jr. has been very exposed. He does not say that he will become the supreme leader in the future, but he will definitely enter the core of power.

Even at this moment, the identity and status are still not something that a small reporter can challenge. Others are right. There is no need to look at the face of the United States when the Soviet Union sells weapons and equipment to that country. If you directly stop it, it would be equivalent to interfering in the internal affairs of the Soviet Union. Recently, some old idiots have become much better-tempered, but they will still fight against you.

After all, some things involve the bottom line and no country can compromise.

Among the reporters on site were insiders from the French company Dassault, who developed reporters into spies during the Cold War; this was a routine operation. It's just that they belong to different forces, and some even serve multiple organizations.

After the French reporter got the opportunity to ask questions, he said directly: "Mr. Mohammed, you were negotiating business with Dassault in France a few days ago. What was the reason that prompted the Libyan side to finally choose to sign an agreement with the Soviet Union. Was it unfair treatment? , or a threat.”

Hearing this, everyone at the scene held their breath; openly threatening a national delegation, even if the country is weak, will inevitably be condemned by the international community.

The French are clearly making trouble, can they say something to their face?

Fortunately, Mohammed was well prepared and said directly: "I have not suffered any unfair treatment, let alone any threats. The Soviet people are very friendly, at least I feel their sincerity."

"Previously, all weapons and equipment in Libya were basically purchased from France; this is why France was chosen as the first stop this time."

"But the French government vetoed Libya's contract to order 120 Rafale fighter jets from Dassault, so it had no choice but to choose the Soviet Union. Fortunately, Minister Ustinov finally accepted Libya and agreed to sell fighter jets and other weapons and equipment!"

"Libya has a weak industrial base, not to mention fighter jets and missiles; it cannot even produce ordinary rifles. Fortunately, there are massive oil resources buried in the land, and life is gradually becoming richer."

"Having wealth is a good thing in itself, but not being able to protect it is a disaster."

"In recent years, the country has suffered too much unfair treatment, which has basically paralyzed the Libyan military. We have never thought about invading anyone, and the purchase of weapons and equipment is purely to protect the territorial integrity of the country and the safety of people's property."

"Dassault's price for the Rafale fighter jet is 24 billion francs for one fighter jet and supporting parts. It clearly knows that this is not very reasonable; it is even more than double the purchase price of the French Air Force."

"But whoever makes it impossible to produce, the premium is reasonable; but even so, the French government still does not agree."

"When the enemy comes to the door, let the Libyan soldiers fight with the enemy with swords and spears; that is not bravery, but death in vain!"

"I have no choice but to come to the Soviet Union; fortunately, the effect is very good; the price is even much cheaper than French fighters!"

French journalists are undoubtedly slapping themselves in the face because they are willing to spend money to buy French fighter jets; but if you yourself don’t agree, aren’t you allowed to go to other countries to buy them? You have to stop this, are you taking yourself too seriously? Or it can be said that you don't take Lao Maozi seriously!

After all, the French reporter gets an extra salary from Dassault, and the more critical the moment, the more he cannot give up easily!

Even if it can't be undone, it's okay to make both parties sick!

The French reporter then asked: "As the former sovereign state of Libya, France does not agree to sell fighter jets to Libya. There must be reasons for this, or other deep considerations. Assuming that French officials agree to Dassault's sale of fighter jets to Libya, will they allow you to do so? change one's mind!"

"Even if you don't buy in France, you can choose other countries; why the Soviet Union!"

The second question itself was not in compliance with the rules; after hearing the content of the question, the audience looked like they were looking at fools.

How did this guy become a reporter? He is such an embarrassment to his peers.

It is simply unreasonable to reject others with such high-sounding words. In the 20th century, it is still a suzerain state.

Even if France has deeper considerations, it must recognize the reality; after Libya was bombed by the Americans, its air force was almost completely lost. Is it too bullying to really let people fight the enemy with swords and spears?

And he dared to directly map the Soviet Union. I really don’t understand the French reporter’s brain circuit!

Mohammed sneered and said: "What I want to say is that this is before the 20th century. African countries have become independent. I hope you understand."

"There is no denying that France has indeed made a certain contribution to the development of Libya; but no one can estimate how many resources and wealth France has plundered in Libya, and even in Africa as a whole. The number is so large that even French officials have been unable to calculate it!"

"Libya, or Africa as a whole, does not owe France anything. On the contrary, France should apologize to the African people for the crimes it committed in Africa."

"Libya, as a sovereign country, does not need to report to any country when purchasing weapons and equipment. I hope the reporter can understand and not act like a sovereign state; that will only make people annoying!"

"And if France doesn't sell weapons and equipment, can't it buy it from other countries? It seems that there is no law that stipulates that Libya can only buy weapons and equipment from France."

"Even if France officially lifts the ban, it is currently impossible for Libya to purchase fighter jets from France. First of all, the financial strength does not allow it; Libya is a small country with a small population and does not need so many fighter jets; buying them back is a waste."

"Also, a contract has been signed with the Soviet Union. Libya is a country that attaches great importance to international credibility; it will never unilaterally breach the contract!"

"The original plan to purchase French fighter jets was more out of emotion and the desire to quickly restore combat effectiveness."

"The Libyan army has always used legal weapons and equipment, and the Rafale fighter jets are naturally more convenient. In addition, the previous cooperation has been good, and at least Dassault is still very trustworthy. This is why it was decided to use the Rafale fighter jets as the first choice."

"Actually, I was worried before. If Dassault was under external pressure and did not deliver the goods after receiving the payment, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for Libya!"

"Or once a war breaks out, the French company Dassault cannot withstand the pressure and directly leaks the weaknesses and technical characteristics of the Rafale fighter jets to the enemy. Then the fighter jets will undoubtedly be living targets in the air, and the results can be imagined!"

"After all, Argentina and the Exocet missiles are lessons learned from the past. Even so, there is still no other choice; we can only go to France to negotiate first. Libya has nothing, and it is already a very happy thing to have fighter jets in the sky, and it can also cheer up the people. .”

"However, things are backfired, so we can only find solutions from other countries."

"As for what the Soviet Union is, the only countries in the world that can provide advanced fighter aircraft are the United States, the Soviet Union and France. The performance and convenience of fighter aircraft produced by other countries are much worse."

"The United States doesn't need to think about it, it's simply impossible; France has already rejected us, so we can only come to the Soviet Union and give it a try. Fortunately, the results are satisfactory, otherwise there is really no way to explain it to the people."

This was Muhammad's first public appearance in front of the Western media, but it left a deep impression on people; he was clear-cut, eloquent and well-educated. No wonder he was entrusted with important tasks at such a young age. Perhaps Colonel Ka valued his abilities.

The Western media's impression of Libya has changed a lot, and they are even somewhat sympathetic. At the same time, I began to feel disgusted with the arrogant Gallic rooster; at the same time, I thought, are the French stupid?

If you don't sell fighter jets to Libya, you won't be allowed to come to the Soviet Union to buy them. If you agree directly, nothing will happen! If you don’t make money, you’ll get the old man’s advantage in vain; isn’t this just giving someone a blood transfusion?

Now they are still brazenly criticizing Libya. When will the suzerain country change its style? The French must suffer a little and not take themselves too seriously!

Then he asked several related questions, mainly whether Libya would fall to the Soviet camp; and the Soviet Union's national strategy in Africa.

There was nothing wrong with the two people's answers; the most important thing was that the Soviet Union did not show too much ambition. At the same time, it was announced that the sale of weapons and equipment would not be accompanied by any political conditions; all countries were welcome to send delegations to the Soviet Union for inspection!
