After hearing what Bao Zixuan said, little Ustinov stood up immediately. He couldn't help but feel nervous. After all, these weapons and equipment are all active weapons of the Soviet army. Among them, the S-300 anti-aircraft missile is in service

It won't take long. If it is sold, there will definitely be a lot of resistance in the country. Moreover, the Tu-22m is a strategic-level bomber, and it will be difficult for the international community to explain it.

Only the IL-76 transport aircraft is not a big problem, after all, it has been exported to many countries.

Ustinov Jr.: "What I just said was a bit exaggerated. The S-300 air defense missile system has just been put into service by the Soviet Army, and there are still some troubles in trying to sell it. The Tu-22m Backfire is a strategic-level weapon.

"The sale to Fucairah was a big risk because of our relationship."

"As for Saudi Arabia and Iraq, there are still some difficulties."

Upon hearing this, Bao Zixuan said directly: "Is the Soviet Union preparing to attack Saudi Arabia, or does it want to attack Iraq?"

Although he did not understand why the other party asked this question, Ustinov Jr. still answered truthfully: "Of course it is impossible to attack a sovereign country out of nowhere. The Soviet Union is not that arrogant."

Bao Zixuan: "That's it. Since we are not planning to attack these two countries, exporting some weapons and equipment to them will not pose a threat to the powerful Soviet Union. Moreover, the prerequisite training time can be longer, which means that the Soviet Union must at least control

This army only needs a few years. In that case, even if the Americans want to play any tricks, there will be no way."

"The S-300 is an anti-aircraft missile. It is estimated that if Soviet fighter jets do not fly into other countries' airspace, no one would dare to take the initiative to attack the powerful Soviet aerospace force. As for the Tu-22m Backfire, it can only threaten neighboring countries in the Middle East. After all,

It is not equipped with a nuclear warhead and is at best a tactical bomber."

"The Soviet Union sold not just air defense missiles, but an entire system. This is a huge amount of revenue. If you believe me, the S-300 air defense missile systems sold to Saudi Arabia and Iraq alone are worth US$5 billion. Middle East

These people are very rich, and their vision is getting higher and higher now; if they really want to buy American weapons and equipment."

After hearing Bao Zixuan's analysis, Ustinov felt that it made sense. Selling them weapons and equipment would not threaten the powerful Soviet army, and they could also steal meat from the Americans. As long as the Soviet instructors were in Saudi Arabia

With the guidance of the Iraqi army, it will not be so easy for Americans to obtain intelligence.

Moreover, the S-300 air defense missile system alone can be sold for 5 billion US dollars; so what are you waiting for? Let uncle use his spare energy to deal with domestic affairs.

After confirming everything, Bao Zixuan and Ustinov drank some wine together. Of course, considering the amount of alcohol they drank, it was definitely not too much. It was just that they hadn't seen each other for a long time, so it wouldn't be that bad if they didn't drink. But I also know that

We still have business to do tomorrow, so we can't be greedy.

At the same time, McDonald Jr. was discussing the sale of C-17 transport aircraft with the U.S. military. I’m afraid the whole world knows what countries Saudi Arabia and Iraq are. There are twelve of them at once, which is a big order;

Not to mention McDonnell Douglas, no company can ignore it.

The sales volume of large military transport aircraft is limited; but the profits are very high. McDonnell Douglas is currently short of money and must get this order.

Little MacDonald did not ask for help, but came to the location of the U.S. military delegation.

France is a tough country. Currently, there is not even a single U.S. military base in France. Moreover, France itself is not a NATO country. Relatively speaking, it has higher military autonomy.

After de Gaulle returned to politics in 1958, he actively pursued an independent foreign policy. Therefore, he challenged the hegemony of the United States as soon as he came to power. He believed that NATO should be an alliance of sovereign and independent countries that are completely equal to each other, and

It cannot be an organization with a master-slave relationship. For this reason, he called for a thorough restructuring of NATO to make it compatible with the independent status of the country.

On September 24 of the same year, he stated in a memorandum to the heads of the United States and Britain that NATO no longer meets the basic security needs of the entire free world. France’s responsibilities have also expanded to all parts of the world, so it proposed to

Established a council composed of the United States, Britain, and France to control the decision-making power of world political and strategic issues. As a result, it was politely rejected by the United States and Britain. When he understood the intentions of the United States and Britain, he decided to adopt a policy that was not subject to NATO.

Restrictions on free movement.

Gu Luan

De Gaulle was also a ruthless man, and he actually quit the group. And on March 14, 1967, the US military stationed in France had to lower the Stars and Stripes and all withdraw from France. It can be said that the military came to France to participate in the exhibition, and they could only stay in hotels. After all, they

There is no military base here, and we have to admire the French from here.

As the world's largest weapons producer and the country with the strongest military strength in the world, the U.S. military will definitely send a delegation to watch the exhibition, and inspecting opponents is also part of their job.

The leader of the delegation, Lieutenant General Braun, can tell by his last name that he is of Germanic descent. This is very common in the United States, and most of the people in power are descendants of British and German immigrants.

Seeing Little MacDonald coming over, Lieutenant General Braun said very enthusiastically: "Hello, Mr. MacDonald! I don't know if I can help you or if McDonnell Douglas encountered some trouble at the exhibition."

The U.S. military is used to being arrogant, so when aircraft manufacturers come to visit them, they intuitively think they are asking for help.

Although Little Macdonald didn't like the tone of the other person's words, he still had to lower his head when he was under the eaves. So he smiled and said: "There is really something that needs your help, General. As you know, the competition in the aircraft market is very stressful now.

The C-17 transport aircraft just developed by McDonnell Douglas is favored by many countries, and Saudi Arabia and Kuwait both want to buy it. So let’s see if the military can relax restrictions and allow manufacturers to sell freely.”

"At the same time, we will ensure that military secrets are not leaked and some core technologies will be restricted."

To put it bluntly, it is a castrated version, which is normal in terms of appearance. It can be said that Xiao MacDonald is already very polite; of course, McDonnell Douglas's largest customer is the US military, and they do not dare to offend easily.

But what he didn't expect was that Lieutenant General Braun said directly: "The C-17 transport aircraft is the next generation main transport aircraft of the US military. The military is very optimistic about this project. It is not currently allowed to be sold to any country. I hope you will take care of it."

The overall situation; the enemy must not be allowed to know about the most advanced weapons and equipment of the U.S. military."

"If customers want to sell transport aircraft from McDonnell Douglas, they can purchase other products. As a world-renowned aircraft manufacturer, does McDonnell Douglas only have one transport aircraft?"

Hearing what the old boy said, Little Macdonald was very excited. These guys are really unworthy and don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. Aircraft manufacturing requires quantity. If there is not enough production scale, how can the cost be reduced? Just share the research and development costs equally.

It’s an astronomical sum. Relying solely on funding and orders from the U.S. military, aircraft manufacturers are not having an easy time.

At present, the United States has not broken out into armed conflicts with other countries, and the number of weapons consumed is limited. But now it can only say soft words when asking others.

McDonald Jr.: "General Braun, if the customer agrees to purchase other types of aircraft instead, then I will not come to you. Can you please communicate with Washington? After all, McDonnell Douglas is not in a good situation at this time.

Hope you can understand."

When he heard about Washington, Lieutenant General Braun immediately changed his expression and said directly: "If Mr. McDonald feels that he is using Washington to suppress me, then he can give it a try. It is the national strategy of the United States to sell those weapons and equipment. As the United States

The most important military industry giant, don’t you even understand this truth?”

"Don't you think about the relationship between Iraq and the Soviet Union? Therefore, the U.S. military currently absolutely does not allow the sale of C-17 transport aircraft to foreign countries, especially to countries like Iraq."

The guy in front of him was struggling, but McDonald didn't give up. Instead, he directly asked the public relations team to lobby the Ministry of National Defense, hoping to get a chance of survival.

But it was destined to be disappointed. Secretary of Defense Weinberg did not agree to sell to Iraq; the strategic transport aircraft that the United States had just put into service. At this moment, all roads were blocked, and even if customers came to the door, they could not do business. This made Little MacDonald almost caught up.

Crazy. Now it seems that we can only hope that Saudi Arabia and Iraq can change their minds.

In fact, he also wanted Bao Zixuan to lobby for it, but he gave up immediately. Helping introduce customers is already a big deal, so you can't expect others to help you too much. We are all in a relationship of interest, and no one owes anyone anything!
