At that time, the French government decided not to oppose the negotiation between French and Taiwanese businessmen on the sale of frigates to Taiwan Island. The scope of the negotiations was limited to the hull and shipboard equipment that did not include weapons. The French government has repeatedly emphasized that the implementation of this decision will in no way undermine France's consistent position of recognizing the Beijing government as the sole legal government of China.

But in fact, everyone knows that this kind of guarantee is actually just to hide the ears and steal the bells. If the ship-borne weapons and equipment are not sold, what is the use of such a hit on the sea?

The Lafayette frigate is a kind of missile frigate with comprehensive stealth. In order to achieve stealth from the radar, it puts anchoring equipment such as windlass, fairleads, bollards, and cable reels on the main deck below the upper deck. On the upper side, the main deck is enclosed by an inwardly inclined bulwark which plays a role of stealth. There are working holes on the bulwark for the purpose of casting and mooring when docking. These working holes are covered with covers during sailing.

Except for the helicopter landing deck, all gunwale railings were removed from the upper deck, and the gunwale boats and davits were also retracted into the superstructure. In addition, the masts and chimneys are also designed to be inclined structures, and even inclined cover plates are installed on both sides of the anti-aircraft missile launching device. The shape of the artillery and radar wireless has also been improved to enhance stealth. After such thorough technical measures, when the helicopter on the ship lifted off to perform a mission and needed to return home, the mothership could not be found with radar, and the mothership was asked to retract the rectangular manhole net curtain on the side of the superstructure, deliberately increasing it. The location of the Lafayette ship can be found only after the accumulation of large radar reflections.

Its infrared stealth measures are mainly aimed at hot areas, such as exhaust chimneys, etc., instead of being made of steel plates that are prone to infrared radiation, glass fiber reinforced plastics are used instead, and special coatings are applied to strengthen thermal insulation to suppress infrared. The strength of the spokes.

The Lafayette ship uses four French diesel engines. The total power is 20,000 horsepower, dual-axis propulsion, the nacelle is usually unmanned, and the control is carried out in the entire ship control center, where the power plant, power station, anti-rolling system, three prevention system and damage control system can be manipulated.

In terms of sea weapons and equipment, it includes two quadruple flying fish anti-ship missile launchers, arranged on the top of the central superstructure, equipped with eight missiles, with a range of 70 kilometers, and the missiles fly over the sea. A 100mm automatic gun is installed on the deck. With a range of 17 kilometers, there is a magazine that can hold 600 shells. When the helicopter is loaded with flying fish missiles launched from the air, it can also perform anti-ship missions. For this purpose, the ship has a missile depot under the helicopter landing deck, and is equipped with a dedicated lift.

Although this advanced weapon is said to be a guided missile frigate, as long as it is equipped with a missile, it is more than capable of defending or attacking. Therefore, Beijing was very opposed at that time.

"It is not easy for the Taiwanese to buy. France sold six frigates to Taiwan. The total price originally agreed was 11 billion francs, but the final transaction price was as high as 16 billion francs. About 2.7 billion US dollars. The price is more than three times that of Singapore’s purchase of the same number of Lafayette frigates.” The ambassador said to Fan Wuyin, “and the contract signed between France and Taiwan at the end of last year for the purchase of 60 Mirage 2000 aircraft is also worth the same. Not bad. **** Although we first made representations to the French side and said that we would never tolerate this. Then we sent an economic and trade delegation to France and made it clear that if the French side abandons the sale of the Mirage fighter, the Chinese side can buy two in cash. A billion-dollar French product. At the same time, a project list with a total amount of 15.4 billion US dollars was provided to the French side—"

"This kind of thing can't be stopped--" Fan Wubing said to the ambassador. "People don't just count the income from selling arms. More importantly, the profits from arms are too great. The benefits of bribery are also great. With the courage of 1.7 billion US dollars, at least 700 million US dollars can be used to pay bribes! Although you offered to buy 2 billion US dollars of French goods, this has no practical benefit for government officials! Which one do you think people would choose? "

"Is it not? Is it because of hundreds of millions of dollars, they did this kind of damage to the relationship between the two countries?" The ambassador heard Fan Wuyi's words and felt that there was no reason at all.

"This is because the French feel that the Chinese are easy to bully--and there are also political needs. It is estimated that the election is troublesome, and there are also people who want to make a profit--" Fan Wuyao gave the three most important reasons. Listed.

The ambassador nodded, and what Fan Wubing said was indeed reasonable.

At that time, the French Socialist government was facing a domestic election and lacked anything to tell, so it was hopeless and desperate, trying to reap the immediate benefits as a ruling achievement. ^^^^ At that time, there were still many people in the French decision-making stratum who believed that China's practices were weak and could be deceived, thinking that China would swallow this glass of bitter wine.

As a result, France's wishful thinking was wrong. Later, China began to react strongly and cancelled some of the large-scale cooperation projects that were under negotiation with France, such as the Guangzhou Metro, the second phase of the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant, the purchase of French wheat, etc., and strictly controlled the exchanges of personnel above the vice ministerial level between the two countries. , Immediately closed the French Consulate General in Guangzhou, etc.

"The French Socialist Party has stepped down this year, so the new government must seek to improve Sino-French relations. Taking into account actual interests, this negotiation must continue. However, we still have to severely sanction several companies that sell arms to Taiwan." The ambassador said to Fan Wuyao.

Fan Wubing shrugged his shoulders and said, "Such sanctions are meaningless to them. Anyway, does China not buy their weapons?"

But in this way, Fan Wubing finally understood the reasons why those Taiwanese would appear here. He was quite interested in these people, so he got together there, wanting to hear what they said.

It turned out to be really bad. Those people were arguing with the French Foreign Minister Roland Dima, but they were all in French. Fan Wubing couldn't understand a word. All in all, they quarreled fiercely and blushed with thick necks. "What are they talking about?" Fan Wuyi asked the sisters Giselle and Adriana.

After listening for a while, Gisele said to Fan Wuyin, "Those Taiwanese said that the warships we sold to them were of substandard quality, and many of them were worn-out equipment, which did not meet the conditions specified in the contract. Unwilling to accept these warships. ***** We demand compensation from our company and act in accordance with the contract."

"How does that old French man answer?" Fan Wuyi looked at Roland Dima and asked Giselle.

"He said that this is a commercial dispute, and it should be negotiated by the French and Taiwanese companies, and has nothing to do with the government." Giselle relayed to Fan Wuyao.

"This old man pushes very cleanly!" Fan Wuyao said with a smile.

The current military leaders in Taiwan know some places. Lee Teng-hui can't continue to work, so he is thinking about how to defeat the current government, and give up all of Chiang's wealth. A-bian again chanted slogans to take office. The political and military circles are plagued by the black gold problem, and many gangsters are vying to spend money to run for legislators. There is basically no combat effectiveness in the army, and the high-level military is very serious.

In the arms sales case this time, it is estimated that there are not a few high-ranking officials within the Taiwan military who have taken bribes, and it seems that Lee Teng-hui cannot escape. Without his authorization, the military could not come up with so much money.

Adriana was still listening to them, and after a while, she said in surprise, "The Taiwanese said. He now has thirty-four defects on the Lafayette frigate, so he is going to return to Taiwan to propose a motion to the military. Cancel the arms purchase plan this time."

Oh? Fan Wubing couldn't help but took a serious look at the man. He found that he was a colonel officer who was under fifty years old. He looked quite capable and looked like a top professional. ****The kind of people who rely on their own strength to get the upper ranks.

but. This guy is too naive.

Even if you want to reject the arms purchase case, you shouldn't foolishly talk to the French in person, right? After returning to Taiwan. Talk to the upper level about the problem, and it will do. He is so fiercely opposed to this business, but it will offend many people, and it is estimated that many people now even have the intention of killing him.

The arms dealer wants to kill a small officer who is not pleasing to the eye, but that is a matter of stretching his little finger, which is really nothing.

So Fan Wuyao solemnly said to the two sisters, "I bet this guy will be out of luck!"

But suddenly encountering this kind of thing tonight made Fan Wubing another heart. If he wants to buy a French Airbus plane, he should also keep a handle in his hand. This money is definitely not a one-time payment. If you have paid in full, you have to make at least one installment payment, so as not to be shoddy and deceive yourself by using second-hand goods. If any parameter does not meet the requirements of the product manual, Fan Wuyi has the right to demand a deduction. land!

Fan Wuyao strolled around in the hall again. This time, many people greeted him enthusiastically. Probably many people have learned about Fan Wuyao from various channels and learned that he is the sixth in China. The hot business tycoon is still a big crocodile in the financial market. At this time, looking at his eyes, he will not be underestimated.

Facing the warm greetings from so many people, Fan Wuyi seemed very calm and comfortable, but when the two sisters around him suddenly realized that their boss had suddenly become the focus of Versailles, they were shocked.

"Sister, is our annual salary set a little lower?" Adriana looked at the dignitaries who greeted Fan Wuyi, and said regretfully to her sister Giselle.

Giselle glanced at his sister with a little dissatisfaction. Isn't it possible that this kind of thing will change when it changes? Although she also felt that Fan Wubing's identity was not trivial, and that he might be a wizard, but since everyone had come out to confuse, she couldn't be unbelievable, otherwise, it would be difficult to gain a foothold in Taoer.

Fan Wubing seemed to have heard the conversation between the two sisters, so he looked back at Adriana, and then said with a smile, "It is easy to want a raise, but the premise is that your job is worthy of my raise. Work hard, little girl!"

Adriana suddenly became a little angry, watching Fan Wubing stammered and said, "Oh my God! You actually called me a little girl?! Is this how you talk to a hereditary earl?!"

Fan Wubing shook his head and said, "To me, a little girl is a little girl, whether it is an earl, a duke, or even a queen, stripped of clothes, it is actually the same."

Looking at the two sisters who were blushing a little by his bold words, Fan Wubing smiled, "Well, or it should be a little different, the smoothness of the skin should be different."

"Rogue--" the two sisters commented unanimously.

Fan Wu was unaware of the illness. He just looked at the French Foreign Minister Roland Dima who was still talking there, and then said to the two sisters unexpectedly, "Do you think Roland Dima will have a lover?"

If the Chinese listened to this, it would probably be a little bit slanderous. After all, that guy is already an old man~www.wuxiaspot.com~ That virtue and the title of a high-ranking government official, how can he not in his private life? Isn't it so unruly? Fan Wubing said that it was a bit too much for a high-ranking foreign government official.

If it was the ambassador who heard it, he would have to say something about Fan Wubing, such as saying something that is not conducive to improving Sino-French relations.

But what happened to hear him was two little French girls, the romantic feeling of the French, the lover is really not a big deal, so Giselle replied, "It should be there, right? Just check it carefully. , It’s not hard to see."

"Very good!" Fan Wubing said to Giselle very satisfied, "This is the first task I give you. It is to find out Roland Dima's lover, as well as as much detailed information as possible to complete this. For this task, there will be a bonus!"

After the two sisters listened, they were a little tempted. This kind of inquisitive work fits the nature of their previous work very well, and it can be said that they are familiar with each other.

It's just that it's very challenging to check the French foreign minister, the fifth-ranked man in France.

But the two sisters are also dependent, after all, they are also nobles with the title of earl!
