"Le Pen, quickly bring your freshly brewed coffee, these damn Chinese, it really hurts me too much!" Sarkozy, who didn't get anything from Lu Jiadong, returned to the booth of Thomson Technologies in France in a huff, and as soon as he entered the door, he loosened the tie that had been bound under his neck for a long time, unbuttoned the neck of his shirt, and sat on the wide sofa in the lounge of the booth, at this time his assistant, Le Pen, had already brought the freshly brewed coffee and handed it to Sarkozy who was slumped on the sofa:

"Sir, your coffee!"

"Thank you!" Sarkozy replied politely, took the coffee, took a sip very elegantly, and then put it on the small table next to him:

"How's it going? What's the reaction from the demo side?"

"The AMX-30 tank has been favored by several African countries, the Milan missile's live-fire target is also applauded, and the Mistral air defense missile has become a high-profile star, and many countries have a strong interest in this light air defense system."

Sarkozy listened to Le Pen's introduction, nodded with satisfaction, and then raised his eyes and continued to ask: "What about our newly developed portable bazooka?

"It's beyond imagination!" Le Pen let out an incredulous sigh with a passion peculiar to the French: "Facts have proved that Mr. Sarkozy, you were right last year in advocating the introduction of the new type of individual rocket launcher from the Swedish FFV Arms Company, and you must know that General Huey Lawrence, the commander-in-chief of the US Army in Germany, also arrived at the demonstration site today, and it can be seen that he is very interested in our new individual rocket launcher, and he also personally went into battle to fire a shot!"

"What does General Lawrence say?" Sarkozy smiled brightly, his charming eyes revealing incomparable shrewdness.

His assistant Le Pen laughed even more uncontrollably, and said excitedly: "General Lawrence hopes that we can give him a detailed tactical fact sheet, which looks exactly as you expected, sir." Although the US military has an unrivaled technological superiority in armaments, it has an unknown disadvantage in individual rocket launchers.

This can be seen from General Lawrence's attitude, you must know that in the eyes of this arrogant American general, it is difficult to find a weapon and equipment that can enter his eyes, it can be said that today, our Thomson Technology Company portable bazooka. Beat the crowd and become a veritable star of the show!"

"As long as it can attract the attention of the U.S. military, after all, Uncle Sam's M72 is too old and has little potential for modification, so I conclude that the U.S. Army must seek the next generation of portable bazooka to replace the M72 that has been in service for decades!"

"As it turns out, sir, your inference is completely correct, and if the U.S. Army can procure it, it will not be a simple billion-dollar arms order. The demonstration effect will inevitably spread around the world, not to mention these Western allies, but also the third world countries that follow closely with the United States.

In this way, this small individual bazooka alone will be worth tens of billions of dollars, and at that time, it will not only be a resounding slap in the face to the antiques who opposed the introduction of this patent at the time, but Mr. Sarkozy will also take the opportunity to step on their heads one step further."

Sarkozy listened to Le Pen's compliments and just savored his coffee, as if his assistant was talking about someone else. And not like himself, yet beneath a calm and watery exterior. Sarkozy's heart has long been happily slapped by Le Pen's sycophants.

You must know that at that time, in order to introduce the technical patent of the new individual rocket launcher of the Swedish FFV arms company, there were great differences within the French Thomson company, and many veterans of the French military industry raised objections, feeling that Sarkozy was simply deviant, and the arrogant French nation either did not do it.

To do. In addition, what is it necessary to introduce the technology of other countries is not a high-tech military product, but only a very inconspicuous individual rocket launcher, so Sarkozy's proposal has aroused strong opposition.

However, at that time, Sarkozy was based on his long-term observation in the arms market and his understanding of the equipment of the armies of Western countries. It was keenly discovered that the American-made M72 man-made rocket launchers equipped by Western countries could no longer pose a threat to the growing armored strength of the Soviet Union.

Although the ammunition is constantly strengthened, the limitation of the 66mm caliber makes the power of this old rocket launcher very limited, which can be seen from the fact that the US military continues to improve but constantly abandon, so Sarkozy believes that this individual equipment that does not seem to be very technologically advanced has unlimited market potential.

If nothing else, if the main army infantry in Western countries can be equipped with one, it will be millions of purchases, which will generate tens of billions of dollars in sales, and the key to snatching the huge pie is to speed up development, for which he has set his sights on the Swedish FFV arms company.

Because he knows that the "Carl Gustaf" recoilless artillery produced by this Swedish company can be called a classic of Western weapons and equipment, and not only that, but the Swedish FFV Arms Company also has a unique and profound attainment in the field of individual rocket launchers based on the successful experience and related technology of the "Carl Gustaf" recoilless artillery.

In particular, the new individual rocket launcher being developed can be said to be a subversive equipment, and because of this, Sarkozy, who is eager to seek such equipment technology, used a strong relationship to use both soft and hard measures against Sweden's FFV arms company, and successfully forced it to sign a technology transfer agreement, but he did not expect to be strongly resisted by the company, but fortunately, Sarkozy's background is deep.

With the support of his father Sarkozy Sr. and other allies, Sarkozy's plan was forced through, and it turned out that his vision was very clever and correct, this individual bazooka was displayed at the Frankfurt Weapons and Equipment Exposition, it attracted the attention of the commander of the US Army in Germany, and in front of this free advertisement with the participation of American generals, the performance of this portable bazooka naturally did not have to worry, he considered how to take this opportunity to take down the vital market of the United States in one fell swoop:

"So, let me say, Mr. Sarkozy, you are worthy of being the leader of the French military industry, with a unique vision, accurate positioning, and decisive shots, there are really few people in France who can compare with you, coupled with excellent appearance and charming demeanor, I believe that Mr. Sarkozy you will definitely stay at the Palace of Eschery (French presidential palace) all the way while harvesting the hearts of a large number of beauties!"

"Lend you good words!" Sarkozy replied with a sip of coffee, a smile, and then a pair of slightly golden eyebrows twisted a few times towards the middle:

"The road to Acheli Palace is not so easy, but it would be a pity to take China down"

"What? The Chinese side rejected your proposal, sir?" Hearing this, Le Pen suddenly remembered that Sarkozy had just come in with that tired appearance, and Sarkozy couldn't help but nod and said with emotion:

"It's not a refusal, Lu Jiadong, the head of their delegation, wants to exchange China's military technology for our military technology, in principle, he wants to be close to my thoughts, but they are too whimsical!"

"It's not just whimsical, it's just a fool's dream!" As soon as Sarkozy's words fell, Le Pen picked up the conversation with a contemptuous face:

"Mr. Sarkozy, you would rather miss the opportunity to meet with General Huey Lawrence, the commander-in-chief of the US Army in Germany, and deign to go to the Chinese booth to discuss cooperation matters, which is already considered to be a great face for them, but I really did not expect that these poor and backward Chinese would be so ignorant and want to exchange their military technology for our military technology?"

They don't pee and take a look in the mirror, not to mention some slightly richer developing countries, not to mention some African countries that are so poor that they can't even wear pants, the opening of the Frankfurt Weapons and Equipment Expo has been a few days, and the Chinese military industrial delegation has not even reached a million dollars in sales, becoming the worst among all the participating countries and manufacturers, if you want to find the facts, this is the truth!"

"Hehe~~~ Mr. Le Pen, your vision has become very old now!"

"I haven't learned from you, sir!" Le Pen smiled modestly, and then slowed down his tone and comforted: "So let me say, it's better to give the Chinese a little color to see, no matter what, a closed country always doesn't know the height of the sky, unless you give a lesson will make them sober!"

"En!" Sarkozy nodded thoughtfully, and a grim smile immediately appeared at the corner of his mouth: "It is indeed time to give them a little color, the Chinese have a saying, called killing chickens and scaring monkeys, and now what we lack is a chicken"

"General Messi of Argentina has arrived in Frankfurt!"

"Oh?

"Yes, he's here for the Exocet missile, maybe we can do this"

Just when Sarkozy and his aide Le Pen finalized the so-called plan to "kill chickens and set an example for monkeys", the "chicken" they called only the slaughter, Lieutenant General Messi, director of the General Directorate of Equipment of the Argentine Joint Chiefs of Staff, had been wandering around the Frankfurt weapons and equipment exhibition for some time at this time.

It's just that, unlike representatives of other governments and military generals, General Messi today is not wearing the standard military uniform of the Argentine army, nor is he wearing a well-fitting suit, but a casual sportswear, which from a distance looks like an ordinary person who comes to visit, and this is exactly what he wants (to be continued). )
