Chapter 1571 - Upper Eye Medicine: Up
Would Chen Geng be indifferent to the actions of the Germans?
Of course not.
Chen Geng has always believed that the Germans are a bunch of white-eyed wolves, why do you say that? Because this can be seen from the FAW Wolfsburg Automobile and the SAIC Wolfburg Motor.
In the original time and space, the Germans were the earliest to cooperate with our automobile industry, but the Germans have always only regarded this cooperation as a tool for profit, and have always strictly guarded against the transfer of technology, and do not allow any adjustment of the product by the Chinese partners.
But the partners of the United States and Japan are different, people make money and make money, but they still transfer some technology, I don't know how many riders still remember the car of Hongqi Shengshi? To put it mildly, Hongqi Shengshi's car is simply a Toyota crown majesta that has changed its brand; for example, in the early days of our national car brands, how many brands of models are imitating Toyota's old Corolla (including Geely Emgrand, which has now entered the top 10 in the compact car market all year round);For example, the Haval H6, which occupies the first place in the SUV sales list all year round, is actually a reverse CRV; and for example, before 2015, how many domestic automobile companies are still using Mitsubishi's 4G15, 4G18, 4G63, 4G69 series engines?
To put it mildly, in the early stage of the development of the Chinese national automobile industry, Japanese technology and products played a vital role, of course, Dongying people did not come to do charity, they did not make less money in the process, but in any case, it is much better than the Germans' indefatigable temperament - who has heard of which national car brand which car uses the German engine?
Not only that, let's take a look at the things that the Germans have done, while desperately making money in the Chinese market, they are playing with their lives, such as the old monk incident of a German luxury brand two years ago, for example, the reason why a certain Sartre can get the lowest evaluation of P in the test of the China Insurance Research Institute is because the lowest evaluation of the China Insurance Research Institute is only P......
So, after knowing the little abacus of the Germans, how could Chen Geng be indifferent?
His approach was also very simple, and he contacted Schroeder directly, saying that he did not want to see Wolfsburg cars appear in China, let alone see the German government personally promote this matter, and hoped that he would consider this matter carefully.
There is no doubt that Schroeder simply refused - how could he not see the benefits that Wolfsburg cars could see?
Chen Geng was not surprised by Schroeder's refusal, what he wanted was Schroeder's refusal, and after being rejected by Schroeder, he immediately contacted Little George and said that there was something that needed to be interviewed with Little George, which was related to the national strategic security of the United States.
Little George is a little strange, what is it that can be related to Millican's national strategic security?
He couldn't figure it out, but it didn't matter, since he couldn't figure it out, let's listen to what Chen Geng said, this guy is the governor of Michigan, and he is also one of the few people at the top of the American ruling class, and what he wants to do must be to protect Millican's interests......
Chen Geng, who came to the White House, did not go around in circles with Little George, and directly expressed his opinion: "George, have you noticed that our allies have been taking advantage of us all these years?"
Chen Geng's words made little George stunned: "Hmm, how do you say this?"
Chen Geng did not answer this question immediately, but asked Little George: "You should know very well the proportion of military spending in GDP in the past two years, right?"
George Jr. nodded, as the Grand Commander of Millican, he was of course very clear about this: "Last year, military spending was about 3.4% of GDP, and this year, because we have two wars at the same time, military spending has risen to 3.7% of GDP. ”
"What about next year?" Chen Geng asked again: "Judging from the situation of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, military spending should be further increased next year, and its proportion in GDP should be further expanded." ”
Although I don't know what Chen Geng's purpose is in asking this question, little George hesitated for a moment, but still said: "I am right, according to the current situation, next year's military spending will account for about 4% of GDP." ”
"George, this is the problem," Chen Geng sighed and said to little George: "In order to protect world peace and for our responsibility, our military spending on Millican has been increased repeatedly, but what about the countries we protect, they secretly laugh at us for being fools......"
Speaking of this, Chen Geng glanced at Little George, and the regret on his face was overflowing.
Little George understood the meaning in Chen Geng's eyes: they were not only laughing at us Millican for being fools, but also laughing at you, Little George, the great commander of Millican, for being fools.
Well?!
Knowing the meaning in Chen Geng's eyes, little George was immediately unhappy, he didn't think so.
However, being able to sit in the position of the Grand Commander, Little George still has the self-cultivation, although he was a little unhappy, but he was not angry, but took a deep breath and asked Chen Geng: "Fernandez, what do you say?"
"Quite simply, we Millican are the guardians and protectors of the civilized world, right?"
Little George puffed out his chest and nodded without hesitation: "Of course!"
After the Second World War, Millican's military presence was almost all over the world, and at its peak, Millican established more than 2,700 military bases around the world except the United States. As a result of the readjustment of the US military strategy and the opposition of the people of the host countries, the number of US military bases has been greatly reduced, but even so, up to now, there are still as many as 374 overseas military bases in Milliken, distributed in more than 140 countries and regions, and more than 300,000 troops stationed overseas.
These overseas troops tightly control the "chokepoint" of the world, that is, the straits, including: the Gulf of Alaska, the Korean Strait, the Makassar Strait in Indonesia, the Sunda Strait, the Strait of Malacca, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait at the southern end of the Red Sea, the Suez Canal at the northern end, the Strait of Gibraltar between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf, the Florida Strait north of Cuba, the shipping route from the southern tip of Africa to North America, and the Greenland-Iceland-British shipping lane.
From this point of view, it is not wrong to say that Millican is the "guardian and protector of the civilized world", but it is not wrong to say that Millican controls the whole world.
