Plagiarism - 540 America's largest arms sales project

For a while, everyone fell silent.

Tan Jiabao laughed and said: "We borrowed troops only to deal with the short-term threat of the country headed by the Soviets. In the long run, we still need to have our own sea, land and air forces and our own cutting-edge weapons. So, this time we When we come to the United States, in addition to "borrowing troops" from the US government, we also need to purchase large quantities of weapons and equipment in the United States and Europe to deal with countries and groups that threaten us in the future. I know that the Rockefeller family has many famous military industries Enterprises, such as McDonnell Douglas and Lockheed Martin, so I want to buy some cutting-edge weapons and equipment to build our land, sea and air forces."

In fact, everyone knew the purpose of Tan Jiabao's trip, and everyone knew that he would buy civilian equipment first, and then wait for the opportunity to buy some military products.However, Tan Jiabao proposed to buy military products when he opened his mouth. Both McDonnell Douglas and Lockheed Martin are companies that mainly produce fighter jets. Their products are all cutting-edge products and cannot be sold to others casually. .

At this time, David Rockefeller interjected: "Dear Mr. Chu, both McDonnell Douglas and Lockheed Martin are companies that have signed strategic agreements with the government. To sell to whom needs to pass the bill of the Legislative Council, and the White House has to pass the bill to sign the order, so their products are not easy to sell to your Excellency.”

Tan Jiabao still said calmly: "Dear Mr. David Rockefeller, do you think we will threaten the security of the United States? Besides, the quantity we purchased is very large, and American companies may not be able to afford so much. What about purchasing?"

If you don't sell it to me, someone will naturally sell it to me.We have money, are we afraid that we won’t be able to buy things?Tan Jiabao absolutely does not believe that these companies will not be tempted. He knows that in the last life, in order to sell weapons to Japan, Lockheed Martin also bribed Japanese Prime Minister Nakasone, which eventually caused a scandal that caused a sensation in the world and led to Nakasone's dismissal.In this life, the life of American industrial enterprises is not easy. McDonnell and Douglas have just merged, and their financial situation is also stretched.The situation of Lockheed Martin is not much better. They have lost money for three consecutive quarters, and their liquidity is seriously insufficient. They are seeking bank loans.

All this information was obtained by Qian Niuwei. For this trip to Europe and America, Tan Jiabao also did enough homework.

David Rockefeller has spent half his life in the American economic circles. How could he not know the stakes? He quickly said with a smile: "Mr. Chu misunderstood, it's not that they don't want to sell products to you, it's just the There are too many links. Of course, we think that Oceania has just been established and is far away in the Indian Ocean. Of course, it will not pose a threat to the United States. How many American products are you buying?"

Tan Jiabao also smiled and said: "Our purchase this time is not too much. If we cooperate happily, our next purchase order will be even bigger. This time we have the most urgent demand for military products, and we plan to purchase 330 Various fighter jets around 10 tons; order two aircraft carriers of about 100 tons and their supporting frigates, destroyers and submarines; purchase more than 500 missiles of various types; also purchase 500 tanks, 800 armored vehicles, and 330 doors All kinds of cannons, all kinds of guns and ammunition, etc., we are going to spend about [-] billion US dollars on military projects.”

"Oh..." As soon as Tan Jiabao's purchase amount came out, there was an uproar in the living room. They were surprised and suspicious of such a huge purchase amount, because this arms sales item would be the most valuable order in the history of US military sales. , This amount even exceeded a quarter of the US defense budget for one year at that time.

"With all due respect, your project is too huge. The US Congress should not approve this purchase order. Socotra Island is located near the Middle East. Such a large number of weapons entering this area will cause anxiety in this area. The third Middle East war is not over yet, and your appearance will cause even more turmoil in this region. In addition, due to well-known reasons, both Mr. Tang Xiao and you, Mr. Chu, are from Red China. We doubt your nation-building action this time. Is it an act of a state.” Kissinger, who was on the sidelines, finally spoke, and the global strategist hit the nail on the head when he spoke.

Seeing Tan Jiabao thinking, Jin Yong quickly replied: "Socotra Island is located near the Middle East, it is a fact. But this island was sold to us by South Yemen, and South Yemen is at war with North Yemen supported by the Soviet Union. We also sent people to participate in this war, but this is only a civil war in Yemen and has nothing to do with the third Middle East war. It is also a well-known reason that the two sides in the third Middle East war are the Arab League supported by the Soviet Union and Europe and the United States Supporting Israel is going to war, and this time it is precisely the Arab League that is unanimously opposed to our statehood, and it is for this reason that we feel the need for a strong military force, just as Israel can resist the Arab League.”

Jin Yong refuted Kissinger's first point, but it seemed that he was not easy to refute the Red China point. He took a sip of coffee and took the opportunity to glance at Tan Jiabao.

Tan Jiabao laughed and said: "The red China you mentioned is our motherland. Our hometown is there, and we have relatives there, but what we are building is our own country. The Westerners who came to the American continent to establish and build the United States. Our relationship with Red China is like the relationship between the Americans and the British. However, in the early stages of our nation-building, our motherland will support us, just like It is the same as the British government backing the independence of the United States. What I want to say is that many of us should not look at Red China from the old perspective, but should look at China from the perspective of development. For now, China and the United States have a common The enemy is the Soviet Union. I believe that the United States and China share a common language. I also believe that it will not be long before the two countries will eliminate their confrontation with each other, and the two countries will start dialogue and establish diplomatic relations! Dr. Kissinger, Please look at the issue from the perspective of a strategist, do you think a strong China is more in line with the interests of the United States?"

Kissinger was momentarily stunned.

But McDonnell Douglas, Lockheed Martin and several other military companies are getting impatient. They don't want to throw away such a big business to benefit the Europeans. They unanimously sided with Tan Jiabao. They asked Tan Jiabao to sign an agreement of intent with them, and they were responsible for persuading the US Congress.

Why didn't the Rockefeller family want to facilitate this transaction?The three brothers discussed for a while, and finally agreed to sign an agreement of intent between their military enterprise and Tan Jiabao.

Except for the controversial products like military industry, other products are much easier. The Rockefeller brothers urged these manufacturers to sign contracts with Tan Jiabao as soon as possible, because there will be other companies in the United States that are not under Rockefeller’s company coming to negotiate with Tan Jiabao at night. Rockefeller Got a head start on this deal.
