Chapter 357: Order Roller Coaster

Yes, the charm of the Zeus-3 UAV is really unstoppable, as the only long-endurance UAV in the world that can perform tasks at an altitude of more than 8,000 meters, its appearance is simply subversive.

In addition, the actor aviation systems company that developed and produced Zeus-3 is another authentic German company, and it was openly and secretly helped by the Federal Republic of Germany, so it quickly won UAV orders from most countries, including the Federal Republic of Germany, Italy, and Norway.

There are a total of 86 sets of intended orders, and the total value is nearly half less than that of the previous H company, reaching 580 million US dollars, after all, the unit price of the Zeus-2 UAV system is only 5 million US dollars, and the spare parts are purchased from Japanese and European suppliers, which is much lower than the price of American products, so the overall cost control is very good.

And the performance is not worse than the American product, but in some respects it is a lot higher than the American product, after all, to this day the United States has not had a long-endurance drone that can fly to an altitude of more than 8,000 meters, and this alone is enough to despise the United States 10,000 times.

Cheap, good performance, or a native European company, European countries naturally feel that the Zeus-3 UAV system is very mellow, coupled with the Federal Republic of Germany's matchmaking, it is naturally a crowd of applicants.

Of course, the reason why Europe is a developed region, but it always falls behind everywhere on the international stage, is not that they are not developed enough, but that there are always some-stirring sticks inside

This time, the Federal Republic of Germany relied on its own Zeus-3 drone to snipe the American aviation giants, and while defending the European aviation industry, it once again brushed a wave of German-made unique presence, which was immediately envied and hated by the rest of the countries.

The most typical is France, as the only country in Europe that has mastered the entire industrial chain of the aviation industry, France has always regarded itself as the boss of Europe, and as a result, whether the United States uses Company H to sweep Europe, or the Federal Republic of Germany uses the actor company to fight back, France, the so-called European boss, can only watch from the sidelines.

That state is like watching others play mahjong, scratching their ears and cheeks and wanting to push away a senior mahjong friend who is directly on his arm, anxious, but there is no way to let people move away, because the pocket of this goods is cleaner than the face, how can you play cards without money?

France is so embarrassed, no matter what they have done in fighter jets and passenger planes, there is a big gap in drones, and without diamonds, they naturally can't do porcelain work.

The Eurofighter project, which was originally jointly carried out with several European countries, was very unhappy, and now it has been marginalized in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles, so that many countries feel that France is outdated in the aviation industry, which hurts the pride of the proud Gallic rooster.

So with the mentality that I can't let you have a good time together, I first opposed the entry of Company H with the Federal Republic of Germany, raised the European Community's standards for nuclear and chemical defense drones, and kicked the giant beast of the United States away, and then sat on the opposite side of Germany, saying that the Zeus-3 UAV did not meet France's own national conditions, and was ready to start a better one.

If it was just France, it would be fine, but at this time Britain was on the side of France, so the two quickly got together and prepared to jointly build a new UAV that would benchmark Zeus-3.

The division of labour was clearer, with France taking care of the overall design and airframe manufacturing, and the UK, as always, providing their best aero engines.

In this way, the European Community troika is tied together to fight against the Federal Republic of Germany, but the Federal Republic of Germany is still a defeated country in World War II, and it is naturally a head lower than Britain and France, which has caused many countries to begin to waver.

The most significant is Luxembourg and Belgium, which are close to France, because they are too close to France, they have long been deeply tied to France, so they are also the first countries to change their ways, followed by Sweden in Northern Europe, after experiencing the pressure of H company, with Zeus-3 to drive away the beast, this Nordic industrial power is of course not willing to be lonely, its own fighter jets can be engaged, UAVs are naturally not a problem, so they simply announced their own development and production.

Coupled with the fact that Spain and Portugal have fallen to France and the increasing number of wait-and-see countries, the 86 sets of orders that have not yet been covered by Action Aeronautical Systems have been reduced by more than half in an instant.

When the formal order finally fell into the hands of Zhuang Jianye, there were only 38 sets left, including 12 sets in Germany, 16 sets in Italy, 8 sets in Greece, and 2 sets in Austria.

It can be seen that Zhuang Jianye is straight, this NM is a list of European Axis countries.

I really didn't expect that the Federal Republic of Germany, as the first existence in the European economy, still has such a pitiful influence, and it has not been out of the circle for so long after the end of World War II, which is really speechless.

"I knew this was the case, I settled in France at the beginning, but unfortunately I didn't know French, so I ......"

In the administrative office of the new aircraft factory of the Tengfei Plant, located near the Xiping Zero Degree Plant, Evans sighed with a sullen face, and there were 38 sets of 86 sets left at once, with a total value of only 260 million US dollars, from 580 million US dollars.

The order is like riding a roller coaster, high and low tormenting people, not to mention, in the end it turned out to be such a result, saying that it is not lost, it is fake, but Evans can't help it, because the level between countries is too high-end, and he can't afford to participate in a businessman who has no heels, so Evans regretted it very much, he knew that the Federal Republic of Germany was so useless, how good it was to stay in France.

flipped through the order briefing given by Evans, and then put it on the desk, Zhuang Jianye shook his head with a smile: "As long as you are in Europe, it is the same when you go to that country, there will always be stirring sticks out to make trouble, otherwise, with the economic and technological level of Europe, if you really want to pinch together, the world will not be a bipolar pattern between the United States and the Soviet Union, but a tripolar pattern, but unfortunately the Europeans don't have that ability, so you can have more than 30 sets, and the order of more than 200 planes is already very good." ”

Zhuang Jianye is really right, Europe has been united since World War II, and it has been united for more than half a century, and it seems to have achieved remarkable results, but the more it is united, the weaker it becomes, and the root cause is that it has never been able to complete the integration of China and the United States.

External competition has intensified, internal constraints are everywhere, and it will be difficult for Britain to form a unified pace for a long time, from the entire strategic planning to the aviation industry.

So why the United States is not afraid of Europe, and even despises Europe a little, the root is here.

If you engage in joint forces with me to fight the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, you will make rifts; if you engage in international settlement of euros, I will fight Iraq and weaken your monetary attributes; if you and Russia are in harmony with me, I will overthrow Ukraine and make this rotten boy a hemorrhoid for Russia and Europe, and you will have to grit your teeth when you.

Whenever this happens, Europe doesn't even raise a voice to protest, is it because they don't want to say it? The problem is that the internal voice cannot be unified at all, how can it be said?

It can only be that individual countries occupy their own positions, so the seemingly complete and unbreakable European crystal ball is actually full of cracks when you look at it with a magnifying glass.
