When the Soviets were training the Kuwaiti army, the major U.S. arms giants were preparing to jointly put pressure on the military, the White House, and Congress. Although this time it only cost McDonnell Douglas a billion-dollar arms order, the impact was very bad.

.In the past, the United States dominated the international arms market. Due to other reasons, the Soviets would never put the most advanced weapons and equipment on the shelves.

Because of Bao Zixuan, the Soviet Union was less conservative and more open-minded. Except for the United States, no country in the world could threaten the national security of the Soviet Union. However, the two superpowers competed behind the scenes and really did not dare to confront each other head-on.

.The main reason is that it is difficult to stop, and it is easy to turn a cold war into a hot war.

It can be said that the two countries still have a tacit understanding and will try to avoid direct conflicts.

In the Korean War, when the Americans took action, the Soviet Union sent more military advisers and provided corresponding assistance to support China and North Korea in contending with the United States. The same was true in the Vietnam War, when the Americans took action, the Soviets provided military assistance to the Vietnamese. In the Afghan War, the Soviet Union

The purpose of launching an attack and providing free weapons and equipment to Afghan guerrillas was to weaken the strength of the Soviet Union. It was quite cost-effective to exchange one missile for one Soviet helicopter.

Both countries have nuclear weapons capable of destroying each other, so how can they directly attack them?

Even if the Americans know the performance of Soviet fighter jets, what does it matter? Soviet weapons and equipment have always been simple and practical. Countries that should buy them will still buy them. As for NATO countries, they will definitely not place orders with the Soviet Union.

Kuwait is a special situation, mainly because Heiyun Group is involved and Bao Zixuan coordinates it. Even the payment is through Heiyun Group, which makes the efficiency so high.

The Soviets have definitely tasted the sweetness. They suddenly feel that they can make a lot of money by selling the latest weapons in service to countries with better economic conditions. Whether they admit it or not, the economic strength of the Warsaw Pact countries is generally very poor. Let alone spending a lot of money to buy them.

The Soviet Union's advanced weapons made it difficult to survive alone. It would be a blessing if the Soviet Union did not help.

Kuwait is just a small country in the Middle East. If the market is opened in this way, the future is definitely promising. I wish the United States would do this kind of thing a few more times and take advantage of it later. Although saying this is a bit demeaning, it is not that country or that company.

What a bargain.

Although Xiao MacDonald knows that many people look down on him, thinking that he is just a rich second generation who has not learned a lot, and is the kind of person who cannot support the wall with mud. But he must be called upon to do this, and I believe that several other companies will give him face.

After all, this matter is closely related to everyone's interests.

As expected, the boy was not disappointed. He learned that McDonnell Douglas invited everyone to discuss the issue of overseas market development. The presidents of Lockheed, Boeing, Northrop, General Dynamics, and Raytheon all attended in person. This was the first time before

It's simply impossible, at least little Macdonald doesn't have the face to do so.

It seems that they are serious this time and want to collectively put pressure on the officials. If this continues, everyone will have to fight against the northwest wind.

McDonald knows his status well. He does not have any advantage in terms of company size or industry experience. However, the matter started because of McDonnell Douglas, so he must say something first, at least to resonate with everyone.

.

McDonald Jr. said very formally: "You are all seniors in the industry. Logically speaking, it is not my turn to speak first. But after all, the matter started because of McDonnell Douglas, so I will just introduce the specific situation to you."

After seeing that no one had any objections, Little MacDonald continued: "Heiyun Group went to the Middle East to inspect, and somehow, it actually made Kuwait decide to replace most of the weapons and equipment in service. The Kuwait Commerce Department also contacted them immediately

McDonnell Douglas wants to buy either F-15 or F-18 fighter jets."

"The price given is absolutely exciting, and Kuwait is even willing to increase the price."

"Although the F-15 and F-18 fighter jets have good performance, they have no technical advantages compared to your aircraft. Kuwait is willing to pay a large price to buy them, so of course McDonnell Douglas will be interested."

"After all, there is no precedent for exporting to Kuwait before, so we can only apply to the military. But do you know! The application report was just returned when it was submitted. It was just because the officer responsible for the approval was a Jew and thought that the aircraft would be sold to Kuwait.

It is against Israel’s interests.”

"This is the United States of America. First of all, we should protect the interests of American companies and American citizens. Now we are actually harming the interests of the United States and protecting Israel. Although Israel is also a major arms purchaser, we cannot sell products to other countries just because we cooperate with it.

Country!"

"If there is such a requirement, I would rather not do this business. You cannot give up the entire forest just because of one tree."

"Without approval, the military had to resort to the next best thing and ask Kuwait to purchase F-4 Phantom II fighter jets. You should know that the air forces of various countries around the world are gradually phasing out such products from 30 years ago, so how could Kuwait possibly purchase them.

"

"Customers now have many choices, and they feel that McDonnell Douglas's move is an insult to Kuwait. Therefore, it has decided to retire all weapons and equipment produced by McDonnell Douglas, and will not even purchase any weapons from McDonnell Douglas in the future. This is not to mention, it has already affected Kuwait.

McDonnell Douglas has already let down its partners, and it will definitely be difficult to do business in the future."

"But looking back at the Soviets, they immediately transferred aircraft from frontline troops to Kuwait, and the weapons and equipment were just recently put into service by the Soviet army. This courage is worth learning. Could it be that if Kuwait buys a few aircraft and brings them back, it can threaten the interests of the United States?

Dare to attack the United States mainland."

"It's because some people infringe on the core interests of American companies for the benefit of individual countries."

"Compared to yours, McDonnell Douglas' weapons and equipment can only be considered average. What if that country wants to purchase your company's products, but the military does not agree, or is unwilling to sell in order to protect the interests of other countries."

"In the past, French and Soviet companies competed with us, and now the Black Cloud Group is included. If we can only sell to allies, and allies are divided into three, six, and nine levels, then how should we do business? American weapons are the most advanced.

Fake, but compared with other countries and companies, there is no obvious technological advantage. At least our products from 30 years ago are definitely not as good as other people's current weapons and equipment."

"If the thinking does not change, relying solely on U.S. military orders will at most be able to maintain the company's basic operations. It will be very difficult to grow and develop."

Little Macdonald had definitely prepared a speech. Although it was not a speech, it was also very emotional, which made several people present feel a little impressed.

Boeing mainly develops in the civilian field and also does arms business, but its proportion is not as large as that of other companies. Lockheed is mainly engaged in the production of weapons and equipment, and its experience may be deeper.

The president of Lockheed said with a serious expression: "What Mr. McDonald said makes sense. No profit means no R&D funds. Now we can still rest on our laurels and occupy some technological advantages, but what will we do when other companies catch up?"

"We cannot sacrifice the interests of American companies for the interests of other countries. Therefore, I suggest the establishment of an arms alliance; American companies must first unite and discuss matters together. We cannot continue to fight in our dens when we are facing a powerful enemy."

McDonald's words may not have enough weight, but no one dares to ignore Lockheed's president. As the most famous arms company in the world, their weapons and equipment have always occupied the largest share in the market.

In terms of company size, Boeing may be bigger; but when it comes to weapons and equipment, Lockheed is definitely the well-deserved overlord. Especially in the aviation field, there are almost no opponents.

Most of the high-tech aircraft during the Cold War came from Lockheed, which shows how terrifying its technical strength was.

It is also a good thing to establish an arms alliance, at least everyone can discuss things together when encountering problems.

Although it was convened by McDonald Jr., the first president of the American Arms Alliance was the president of Lockheed. No one had any objections to this, at least he was more convincing.

It seems that the arms alliance is still relatively loose at this time, including the presidents of the five companies. However, it does not infringe on the core interests. If anyone wants to harm their interests, they will definitely roll up their sleeves and fight you.

The establishment of the American Arms Alliance has brought a lot of trouble to Heiyun; of course, this is just a story later. Now these companies must first find trouble with the military, Congress, and the White House.
