"Mr. Feng, I'm serious. ”

Pragnell showed a serious expression and said to Feng Fei: "The suggestion you put forward is very important to us. We are interested in cooperating with your country, including through participation in your country's ultralight howitzer development programme, as well as in other equipment procurement. But all this cooperation must be premised on the fact that your government can send Mr. Feng to our country as our military adviser. If this condition is not met, we will not consider the above procurement plan. ”

"This ...... What's the need for this?" Feng Fei was dumbfounded, he went to stay alone, and he was actually tied to the export of equipment from the entire country, how could he afford it.

Feng Xiaochen and Zhang Heping are also second monks, and they don't know what Plagenel is doing. At the beginning, Feng Xiaochen really felt that Pragnell was joking, or he just said it casually, which was equivalent to expressing his appreciation for Feng Fei in disguise. But when he heard Pragnell say so seriously, and the expression on his face didn't seem to be fake, he was a little puzzled, his second uncle didn't seem to have anything outstanding except for being cheating, how could the military leaders of the country of Diego take a fancy to it?

Actually, Pragnell wasn't kidding. Outsiders don't know, he himself knows very well in his heart, the current situation of the government army of the Dienation country is very unoptimistic, he is anxious to invite a few military advisers from which country to help, how can he be willing to let go when he encounters a talent like Feng Fei?

Originally, the government army of the Diego State had been guided by Soviet advisers, and the military training of officers and men and the internal management of the troops were greatly dependent on Soviet advisers. In the past two years, the Soviet Union has adopted a new mindset and withdrawn its troops and military advisers from all over the world, and the government forces of the Diese State have suddenly fallen into chaos. Pragnell has no problem in engaging in strategy, and he also has considerable authority in the military and civilian population. But when it comes to internal management, he is blind, firstly, he does not have so much energy to manage all kinds of details, and secondly, he himself does not have such ability.

Artillery fire suppression is such a thing, Pragnell has heard from Soviet advisers in the past, but he does not know exactly how to do it. The artillery battles on both sides have always been you fighting yours and I fighting mine, and a lot of shells were wasted, but nothing was achieved. The civil war dragged on, the country's economic construction was dragged down, and the heavy military burden also made the finances miserable, all of which put great pressure on Pragnell. He wanted to change the situation, but he didn't know where to start.

In fact, as early as the time when the Soviet advisers were withdrawn, Praganel thought about going to other countries to ask for some military advisers to help. But after looking around, I didn't find it. Western countries are on the side of the rebels, so naturally it is impossible to send him any advisers. There are a few countries in the eastern bloc that have the ability to do this, but they either offer too high a price and attach a series of political requirements, or they also have a mess of things in their own country that have not been settled and do not want to meddle in things.

Pragnell had also sent someone to contact China, but was politely refused. China has always claimed that it will not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries and sent military advisers, but it has not done such a thing for many years.

This time, Feng Fei and they came to sell howitzers, and Hesth called Pragnell to inform him of the matter, and Pragnell didn't think much about it, but just arranged a car to pick up people, wanting to hear what equipment the Chinese could provide and what price they would offer. Yesterday, the Sok battalion engaged in an artillery battle with the rebels, and actually hit the rebels' artillery positions, inflicting a lot of losses on the rebels, which was a rare victory for the government army in recent times. As soon as Pragnell inquired, he learned that the reason why the Sok battalion was able to obtain such a front was actually due to the guidance of a Chinese military system engineer, which made Pragnell moved.

He asked Suo Ke to leave Feng Fei and his party on the position, and he personally rode to the position to learn the details of the artillery battle the day before. From Soke, he learned everything Feng Fei had done. Sock was full of praise for Feng Fei, saying that he was not only excellent in artillery skills, but also had a kind attitude and was extremely patient in teaching the essentials of artillery, which was completely different from the previous Soviet experts.

In the past, the level of Soviet specialists may have been very good, but the arrogance was not flattering. One of the most common words used by Soviet experts in training Die's soldiers was "stupid". What technique is taught twice, if the soldiers do not master it well, he will no longer teach, saying that the quality of the Diet people is poor, they can't learn it, and there is no need to waste time.

Yesterday, Feng Fei not only helped the government troops measure the position of the opponent's position, but also corrected many of their operational errors, which were not understood by the Soviet instructors in the past. Sock reported to Pragnell that if he could keep Feng Fei as a consultant, he was confident that he would raise the level of the artillery battalion to the level of a first-class artillery unit in Africa.

Pragnell came to Feng Fei's tent with this in mind, and after a few words of conversation with Feng Fei, he also became deeply interested in this honest Chinese engineer, so he took the opportunity of the other party to talk about howitzer business with him, and put forward a request that he stay as a military adviser.

"Your Excellency General, this request has made us a little embarrassed. Feng Xiaochen spoke, he saw that Feng Fei was unwilling to accept this invitation, but he didn't know how to refuse, so he came out to speak for Feng Fei:

"Mr. Feng is just an engineer, not a person from the military, so he can guide the subordinates of the battalion commander Soke, just because he understands howitzer technology, and is not good at other aspects, how can such a person serve as a military adviser?"

"No, we just need him to guide our howitzer operations. Pragnell said.

"Moreover, our country is a peace-loving country that has always adhered to the creed of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries. The civil war in your country is also an internal affair, and we cannot participate in it. ”

"But aren't you planning to sell us military equipment? aren't you intervening in our civil war?" retorted Pragnell, who was not stupid at all.

Feng Xiaochen was a little speechless, he hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Uh...... Your Excellency, there are some things that everyone may understand, in fact, even if you plan to purchase our equipment, we will not sell it directly to you, but will resell it through a third country, which does not violate our principles. But if military advisers are sent, the nature is different, which is not the same as the resale of weapons through third countries. ”

"I understand, I understand. Pragnell laughed. In this world, there are many things that cover your ears and steal bells. When a big country does something, it has to do some camouflage, resell weapons through a third country, fight proxy wars, etc., are common tricks, and Pragnell can mix into the position of military chief of staff, so he is naturally not a pedantic person. He laughed for a moment and said:

"It is inconvenient for your country to send us military advisers, I fully understand, but your country has sold howitzers, so you must always provide after-sales service, right? You just said that Mr. Feng is not a member of the military, but only an engineer of an enterprise, so what is the obstacle for your country to send him to serve as an after-sales service consultant?"

"After-sales service?"

Several Chinese widened their eyes, and they all said that Uncle Hei was simple, and the old black in front of him was not simple at all, just as cunning as an old fox. Sending someone over in the name of after-sales service is indeed not a military adviser, and there is an explanation in the international community.

But will the state allow such behavior?

Zhang Heping was the first to react, he nodded, and said, "General, this request of yours is still reasonable. If you are willing to purchase our equipment, and the purchase amount reaches a certain amount, then we send some after-sales service personnel to guide you to use these equipment, which is also necessary. However, as for Mr. Feng, he is not an after-sales engineer in the company, I think we will send a formal after-sales engineer for you after asking the superiors for instructions. ”

"Thank you very much to this gentleman. Pragnell nodded to Zhang Heping, then pointed at Feng Fei and said, "However, we hope that Mr. Feng's name is in the middle of the list of after-sales engineers, and we want the after-sales service to start from now, otherwise it will ......."

He won't say anything about the rest of the words, which is not only to leave some room for himself, but also to show that he doesn't want to argue with the other party anymore. It was not easy for him to grasp Feng Fei, a pleasing consultant, who was willing to let go casually. If Feng flew away and the Chinese side "studied and studied" and dragged on for another year or two, wouldn't he be blind? He made up his mind to blackmail these Chinese and want to sell howitzers, so he would leave them behind.

"I can stay!"

While Zhang Heping and Feng Xiaochen were pondering how to deal with Pragnell, Feng Fei spoke:

"General, I can stay first. However, this matter must be approved by my superiors, and if they can't, then I can't obey. ”

"Feng Gong!"

"Second uncle!"

Hearing Feng Fei's words, Zhang Heping and Feng Xiaochen were shocked, and the two of them shouted to Feng Fei almost at the same time. As soon as Feng Fei said this, it was equivalent to agreeing to Pragnell. In the future, as long as the state agrees to send "after-sales engineers", then Feng Fei will inevitably be on the list, unless the country really does not plan to do this business. Sending to Africa is a difficult and dangerous job, and this work is not Feng Fei's job, but he does it because he has the idea of sacrificing himself.

"I totally understand. Praganel hurriedly said, "Mr. Feng, I will immediately arrange a car to take you back to the capital, and you can report this matter to China at the Chinese Embassy." I guarantee that as long as your country agrees with Mr. Feng to stay, our military will immediately sign a contract with your country for the purchase of 50 traditional howitzers and 100 ultra-light howitzers. ”
