Of course, in this kind of major event involving state-to-state transactions, Meng Jianye still plays the role of an intermediary, and the specific implementation is the military attache of the embassy in Egypt.

There is no way, who made the northern factory a key shipyard of the state, and the liquidated damages of more than 80 million US dollars are not only painful for the northern factory, but also difficult for the country to accept.

Because of this, there is only a glimmer of hope, and the country will not watch the northern factories be fined.

Of course, it's not that no one thinks that Meng Jianye's things are just for a 50,000-ton cargo ship, and the project is not too cheap.

For example, He Cheng has been complaining that Meng Jianye has suffered a loss, so he has to build two 30,000-ton freighters and take them back for a ride.

In this regard, Meng Jianye also felt that he was a little soft-hearted, and he should be pitting tens of millions of dollars for the Germans.

However, when the military attache in Egypt found him and asked him if he needed a five-axis machine tool for Endeavor Factory, Meng Jianye was stunned, and said that he was soft-hearted, but the undertaker was powerful, why not.

So He Cheng's resentment was taken as a deaf ear by Meng Jianye.

As for how the military took this opportunity to get the German five-axis machine tool back to China, it was not something that he, the middleman, could intervene in, but there was one thing that Meng Jianye had confirmed, that is, the two five-axis machine tools were all undertaken by Endeavor Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.

As for why, quite simply, Germany agreed to sell two large five-axis machine tools from China after comprehensively weighing the interests of foreign sales of 209-class submarines, as well as China's relations with the West.

However, it is clear in the contract that these two five-axis machine tools cannot be used in the manufacture of weapons and equipment, but can only be used in the civilian field.

Because of this, the vast majority of domestic units that are qualified to use Wuzhou machine tools were instantly PASSED by this prohibition clause.

Because those units are not only completely state-owned units, but also have inextricable links with the military.

But if all these machine tools were to be placed in a purely civilian unit, how could the military be willing? Could it be that the things that were finally obtained were made to make a water pump blade or a complex metal craft?

Therefore, the number of counts, that is, Endeavor Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. is the most suitable, there is no way, Endeavor Factory is the first to complete the joint-stock transformation in several major industrial systems, not to mention, secretly and the navy is very close, so it gives face to Germany, and it is natural to make good use of the good things that they get inside.

As a result, the No. 4 Machinery Plant of Endeavor Shipbuilding Joint Stock Company, which manufactures marine propellers, officially broke ground in the southeast of the headquarters of Endeavor Factory under the direct attention of the Military Commission.

Liang Mingqiu and others, who have studied propeller manufacturing in a large factory in East China for more than two years, also returned to the Endeavor Factory and became the core team of the so-called Fourth Machinery Factory.

Of course, what the fourth machinery factory is a disguise, are to cover up the real intention of the two five-axis machine tools, in fact, after these two machine tools settled in the Endeavor factory, as the main family of the Endeavor factory really has not been used a few times, most of the time is occupied by aviation, aerospace, weapons, nuclear power and other industrial sectors.

No way, there are too few domestic five-axis, this kind of German original precision five-axis is even rarer, those units that need five-axis processing only need to report to the General Staff Equipment Department, after the audit is passed, you can come to the Endeavor factory to process the so-called "propeller".

Therefore, in the years when the five-axis machine tool settled in the Endeavor factory, the propeller output of the Endeavor factory was called a high, and the German experts who often came to check the production status of the five-axis machine tool sighed, you Chinese production propellers are really hard.

But that's all for later.

Now, no matter how grateful Kong Hua is, he should go or go, Meng Jianye has been sending Kong Hua to the airport, and then he returned to the station.

However, three days later, Meng Jianye came on another day trip to the airport, because Hecheng's goods were finally gone.

In fact, Meng Jianye also wanted to return to China, but the Egyptian side told him that he wanted to continue to purchase more Type 037 hunting submarines.

It's just that this wait is more than a week, and in desperation, he can only go to his old acquaintance Janede and ask what is going on, and Janede is also confused, because he has not heard that the Egyptian Navy will purchase more Type 037 hunting submarines.

This made Meng Jianye confused, since the Egyptian Navy didn't want it, why did he still swear to tell him to buy more?

Meng Jianye's doubts were quickly uncovered by the arrival of an Iraqi Ministry of Defense official.

It turns out that Egypt's purchase of additional warships is just a pretense, but it is just to provide a cover for Iraq, and there is no way, who let the two sides of the Iran-Iraq war be ordered by the United Nations to impose an arms embargo.

It is inconvenient for Iraq to come forward, so it naturally wants to find someone to act as an agent, and Jordan has been making white gloves for Iraq in the international arms market, frantically purchasing weapons and equipment for Iraq to fight with Iran.

However, Jordan has a congenital flaw in its due diligence, and that is that Jordan is a landlocked country.

Although all countries know what Jordan is buying equipment for, they should not be too blatant, and common sense things should be avoided.

Since Jordan can't buy naval equipment, it would be better to change to an agent who can help it buy naval equipment, so Egypt has become Iraq's white glove on naval equipment.

Meng Jianye really didn't expect Iraq to come to the door, but after careful questioning, it was clear that the Type 037 hunting submarine that was still on sale had attracted the attention of the Iraqis.

After inspecting the ships of the same type purchased by Egypt, it is felt that this type of ship is not only easy to operate, but also has sufficient endurance, powerful firepower, and flexibility, which is very suitable for the "ship raid war" that is currently unfolding in the Persian Gulf.

In particular, in recent times, Iran has taken advantage of the superiority of its surface warships over itself and frequently used its warships to place mines and blockade shipping lanes off the coasts of Iraq and Kuwait.

Iraq also wants to make some-for-tat counterattacks, but its own surface ships are too ineffective, and the Italian "Wolf" class frigates ordered have just started construction, so in addition to sending the air force to carry out some symbolic "air strikes," they can only stare dryly.

At this time, the Type 037 hunting submarine began to become popular in the international arms market, and Iraq, which was already highly concerned about naval equipment, immediately attached considerable importance to it, but it was a pity that Iran launched a counterattack offensive at that time, and Iraq was tired of coping with it, so the procurement plan was delayed.

It was only at this moment that it was restarted, and it was purchased from China under the guise of increasing the purchase of the Egyptian Navy.
