Chapter 869 Funny Europeans
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Charles and the others were obviously caught off guard. They didn't expect Jiang Chen and the others to make such a request.So they all started communicating in low voices, and after a while, Charles said to Jiang Chen, "Sorry, Jiang, we have no intention of cooperating with the outside world for this fighter."

"Oh, really. If we are willing to bear part of the development costs, and the purchase of it will exceed one division (wing) in the future." Jiang Chen said.

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Charles and the others communicated again, and then Charles shook his head at Jiang Chen and the others, "Jiang, we also want to cooperate in this regard, but we really don't need it right now. Thank you for your kindness. I I think we should continue to communicate on the "Dragon" fighter. We really think this fighter is very suitable for you. As for the backwardness you were worried about before, I think you don't have to worry about it. We can even use this fighter Basically, equip them with the most advanced engines and avionics systems at present. We will also upgrade the radar to make its detection distance longer. Moreover, the price of our fighter jets is also quite favorable, only for the current Western countries. Two-thirds of advanced fighters. Even if you need it, we can also sell its related technologies and production lines to you. Haven’t you been looking for this before, and now the opportunity has come. How can you feel our sincerity? Bar."

Hearing what Charles said, Jiang Chen didn't feel anything, but Deputy Director Song and Deputy Director Zhao were not calm.One by one, they started chatting with Charles and the others, and Jiang Chen also watched and listened, and stopped talking.For him, Charles and the others are developing this 'Gryphon' which barely meets Jiang Chen's needs.But his focus is still on the fighters mentioned before, and he has no interest in this 'Dragon' fighter.It's just that he needs to put on a show so that he will have room to bargain when negotiating with others in the future.As for the thoughts of Deputy Director Song and Deputy Director Zhao, it is not difficult for Jiang Chen to guess that they are still thinking about how to introduce the aircraft production line.Of course, it is a good thing to be able to import and produce by yourself.However, according to the current domestic situation, it is obviously impossible to produce in a short time.And the end of the honeymoon period is coming soon. Instead of introducing these production lines whose life or death is uncertain, it is more practical to introduce more advanced fighters.And is it so easy to introduce such a fighter jet production line? I'm afraid it is unlikely.

Their first contact with Charles ended without any real progress.Although both parties expressed that they would continue to contact each other, in Jiang Chen's view, there was basically no possibility of success.Of course, Jiang Chen didn't want to do that anymore. After all, their goal wasn't this, so he didn't want any surprises.After finishing with Charles and the others, Jiang Chen and the others came into contact with Italy.Do you have to do enough to act? Now that the heat is not yet ready, you have to boil them down.However, Jiang Chen really didn't like the Italian weapons and equipment.They make nice motor yachts, but maybe the people are 'peaceful' by nature.Therefore, he is not very good at fighting, and he is a well-known "pit goods" in modern history.Although they are no longer fighting now, they seem to have extended this 'pit' to the weapons and equipment they produce, so Jiang Chen doesn't have a good impression of this country's weapons and equipment.

Of course, Jiang Chen and the others try to prolong the negotiation time for those who are anxious.As for the Italians, in order to please Jiang Chen and the others, or their own inherent enjoyment habits, they invited Jiang Chen and the others to dinner and entertainment.Even in the end, this group of people wanted to invite Jiang Chen and the others to go to Italy, to travel and inspect the performance of their fighters.However, they were rejected by Jiang Chen and the others because they had limited time. This made the Italians annoyed for a while, thinking that Jiang Chen and the others didn't know how to enjoy themselves.

Next is the United Kingdom. Speaking of it, it is actually a bit sad and desolate.The former strongest overlord in the world is now in decline, even more depraved than France, which they have always looked down upon.So much so that in terms of fighters, they actually don't have any good advanced fighters, and even this situation has become more serious in the 21st century. It can be said that they are heavily dependent on old American fighters.And the cute representatives of the United Kingdom actually sold Jiang Chen and the others the Sea Harrier fighter that is said to be their pride, and they also proudly declared that this fighter is the most unique in the world, even if the entire runway was blown up It can also be launched into the air to fight, and it doesn't even need a runway, just a flat land.

Moreover, these lovely representatives tried their best to sell a trainer plane to Jiang Chen and the others, thinking that as long as there are excellent pilots, no matter how bad the plane is, it can win.Regarding this, not to mention Jiang Chen, even Deputy Director Song and the others couldn't stand it anymore.So after rejecting their invitation to the reception, they fled in a hurry.And these proud representatives actually disclosed this matter to the media, so the media in the United Kingdom reported that Jiang Chen and the others did not have any gentleman spirit, and thought that it would take some time for them to become civilized.This made Jiang Chen and the others both angry and funny. What kind of logic is this? No wonder even God can’t figure out what these United Kingdom people are thinking (the media reports during the Brexit vote made fun of it).

After contacting the representatives of several countries in a row, this made the old beauty who thought she was sure of winning couldn't sit still. They used various channels to exert influence on Jiang Chen and the others.As for France, they took advantage of their geographical mastery and blocked the hotel where Jiang Chen and the others were staying.What caught Jiang Chen and the others even more by surprise was that one morning, someone from the French authorities suddenly came to the hotel, saying that their president was going to meet them, and asked Jiang Chen and the others to go with him.When Jiang Chen and the others asked the reason, this person said it was to meet the delegations from various countries participating in the air show.When asked who went there, this person said that it was only his family.And after Jiang Chen and the others got the news, after considering the current situation, they immediately understood that this is not an interview, it is clearly a banner to promote their products.This made Jiang Chen and the others dumbfounded, and they still played like this.But since everyone's boss is out, then whether you like it or not, you have to show face.When Jiang Chen and the others reported the news to the country through the embassy, ​​instructions came from the country asking them to attend and to take this interview seriously.Well, since the whole country has said so, Jiang Chen and the others have to participate even if they are reluctant.Director Yuan, who is stingy for this, spent a special time buying a set of suits for all the interviewees.
