Paulson looked at Lu Jiadong opposite nervously, even if there were inadvertent fluctuations on his face, Paulson would interpret it carefully, especially Lu Jiadong's eyes when he looked at the latest memorandum of cooperation conditions drafted by Williams in his hand, which was the focus of Paulson's attention.

Perhaps because there are too many spoilers about the US arms spoilers that he has recently visited, or because this young man with superior wisdom has mastered too many advanced military technologies and has too high a vision, although Paulson has not seen much change in Lu Jiadong's attitude, but in other Lu Jiadong's assistants and colleagues, Paulson clearly feels an inexplicable sense of imminent separation.

In fact, from the bottom of Paulson's heart, he understands this attitude of the Chinese very well, after all, now China has become the favor of major military powers in the Western world, especially several major military-industrial complexes in the United States, with the breakthrough research of silicon carbide, the key material of the main armor of the T-80 tank.

Just like many rich and handsome people in the pursuit of the noble goddess in their hearts, mansions, luxury cars, and spending a lot of money, as long as they win the smile of the goddess, they can be said to be unsparing, and on the other hand, Gage Xinda Company, compared with those huge military-industrial complexes rich and handsome, is a complete short and poor dick, except for gritting his teeth to get a bouquet of flowers in his hand, how can such a "gift" be able to enter the eyes of the goddess named China?

In this regard, even the concrete implementers and operators Paulsen are not confident, but even so. This bouquet of "flowers" is already the best thing that Gage Cinda can get his hands on, and it is precisely because of this that Paulson wants to go all out to work hard, after all, the current Chinese affairs are related to the life and death of Gage Cinda Company, and it is closely linked to his future development of Paulson.

If the matter is resolved satisfactorily, Gage Cinda will suffer some losses. But if it backfires, it is very likely that it will be a chicken-and-egg fight, not to mention Blomberg, who has long been eyeing it, and even other military-industrial complexes can take advantage of the failure of Gage Cinda to eat them to the bone.

"Mr. Lu, this power pack is our company's latest diesel combined power system!" Paulson had a warm face and a firm tone, and he couldn't see the dazed and unconfident in his heart at all. Since you have done this, you must seize the opportunity and go all out, even if the final result is inevitable failure, you must make 100% efforts to deal with it, otherwise, it is estimated that there will not even be a chance to speak, Paulson constantly cheered himself up in his heart. The nervous look on his face gradually eased, so that even the tone of his speech became much calmer and more natural:

"It can be used for tanks. It can also be installed on armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery, self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, infantry fighting vehicles and other related combat vehicles, and this power pack is compact and easy to maintain, which is enough to support the needs of your country's main combat vehicles for more than ten years in the future, and the upgrading and transformation of this power system is also very convenient."

"What is the model of this power?" Just as Paulson was talking about the performance of the tank's diesel engine on the memo, Lu Jiadong, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly put down the memo in his hand. interrupted Paulson's words in an extremely flat tone, then clicked on the memo on the table, showed a hint of indifferent smile, looked at Paulson on the other side and continued to ask:

"It doesn't seem to be clearly marked in the memo!"

"This" Paulson hesitated slightly, and a hint of unease flashed in his brown pupils, but it disappeared in an instant. After settling down, he explained in a firm tone again:

"This is just a preliminary memorandum plan, for some reason, when transferring from the United States, we will omit the specific model, but since Mr. Lu asked, it doesn't hurt to say it, this diesel engine is our company's latest product, the model is DDA82V this one"

Paulson's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally it was almost nothing, and his face was even more cloudy, because Lu Jiadong, who was sitting opposite him, always had an intriguing smile on his face, as if he was listening to an extremely beautiful story, although the content was very exciting, but the story from beginning to end was a story, and it could never be a fact

"Mr. Paulson, you can bring this memorandum over, which is enough to show that your company is sincere, but what I hope more is that we are both open and honest!" Before Paulson could come up with a remedy, Lu Jiadong's words had already sounded in his ears, which made Paulson's heart sink and his face was difficult to see, but at this time Lu Jiadong's words did not stop, but opened the memorandum, pointed to the technical parameters of the diesel power system above, and continued:

"The model of this engine is called DDA82V, yes, but it seems that this is just the internal model name of the United States, and its prototype should be the German MB870Ka-500 diesel engine, if I remember correctly, this engine was developed in the sixties, and it is a supporting power project for the MBT-70 tank jointly developed by the United States and Germany, and then the two countries were divided into the whip because of huge differences, and this diesel power system with German blood was also put into the cold by the United States!"

As he spoke, Lu Jiadong picked up the teacup in front of him, gently took two sips of tea in the cup, then raised his eyes, looked at Paulson, who was facing the cloudy face opposite, with his indifferent but seemingly see-through gaze, and asked with a smile:

"Mr. Paulson, I wonder if I'm right?"

After listening to Lu Jiadong's question, Paulson was stunned at first, but soon nodded heavily, but he felt that his head was as heavy as lead, and it was always difficult to raise his head when he nodded, let alone look directly at Lu Jiadong's seemingly questioning gaze on the other side.

"These self-appointed clever guys. Why don't you all see God!"

At this moment, Paulson only had this idea in his heart, and he scolded the eight generations of Williams's ancestors who led the drafting of this memorandum, in fact, before this memorandum was sent, Paulson had suggested that it should be done to the Chinese, especially the seemingly young one. In fact, Lu Jiadong, who is extremely smart, is open and honest.

Williams felt that there was no need to make it public, because in his opinion, such a power system was packaged into the latest American technology coat, which was enough to make Chinese excited, not to mention that in the eyes of the helm of Gage Xinda Company, Chinese's understanding of high-power power systems was limited to old-fashioned and crude Soviet-made products.

Besides, if you say it completely. It will inevitably reveal that this engine is an old equipment more than ten years ago, or a discarded product in the United States, such an image falls in the eyes of Chinese who blindly pursue high-performance advanced technology, and will naturally be listed as a low-end product, so that the only bouquet of flowers in Gage Xinda Company will also be ruthlessly thrown into the garbage heap by the Chinese goddess.

But what Williams and others don't know is that China not only has strong ambitions to pursue high technology. He also has a pair of discerning eyes that see through everything, for this. Paulson, who has been dealing with China for some time, can be said to have a deep understanding, but his advice did not outweigh Williams's stubbornness in the end, and he even lowered his head under the high pressure of the veteran of the US military industry who was over 60 years old.

However, the truth is just as Paulson expected, Lu Jiadong not only saw through it, but also explained the ins and outs clearly. Think about the LM2500 gas turbine that GM is about to sell recently, the Loma company takes out the main F-16 fighter jet, and Northrop sends the advanced command and control system to the door

In order to compete for the core technical parameters of the main armor of the T-80 tank, the main military-industrial complexes can be said to have done everything they could to take out all the good things. In contrast, Gage Cinda's diesel engine, which has even hit the cold palace in China, is really not on the table, and in such a situation, it should be open and honest, but now

Paulson closed his brown eyes tightly, as long as he is a person with a sound mind, he should understand that in the face of so many good things sent to the door, there is no need for China to ignore the mediocre technology and scheming Gage Cinda Company, and this will inevitably push Gage Cinda Company into the abyss of no return, as for him Paulson, what awaits him is not a smooth road of light, but endless darkness and fear

It's too late to regret it, complaining is even more useless discouragement, what we have to do now is to give it a go, and try our best to redeem it before being kicked out of the conference room by Lu Jiadong, even if the chance of success is very slim, but if you don't give it a try, all that remains is failure and pain.

Thinking of this, Paulson opened his eyes again, the kind of adventurous blood of the American nation flowing in his bones, burst out of his body, and then emanated from every pore, maybe because of this, or maybe it was a strong desire for success, Paulson's face was not changing uncertainly, his eyes became more firm, staring straight at Lu Jiadong's face with an indifferent smile, and nodded lightly again:

"Mr. Lu, you are right, this diesel power system is indeed the supporting power project of the MBT-70 tank developed by the United States and Germany more than ten years ago, although this power system was launched in the United States, but its improved version has been applied to the German Leopard 2 tank, in addition, the improved version of this thing system is also ready to be equipped with the British and several other European countries' combat vehicles, it should be said that this is a diesel power system with excellent performance!"

"Mr. Paulson, I never said this diesel powertrain wasn't outstanding!"

Hearing Lu Jiadong's words, Paulson couldn't help but be stunned, but then he reacted immediately, they are all old birds at the negotiation table, how can they not hear the deep meaning of Lu Jiadong's words, but this kind of unexpected surprise came too suddenly, which made Paulson very unbelievable, and opened his mouth for a long time, but he never said a word.

"Your memo says that your company has mastered the full set of technology of this power system!" Lu Jiadong did not mean to let Paulson speak, and continued while flipping through the memo on the desktop:

"But this does not explain that the so-called complete set of technologies is all the design drawings, or the whole set of production and processing technology and material preparation system."

"All, all" Paulson knew that this was a rare opportunity, so in the interval between Lu Jiadong's words, he hurriedly took over the speech:

"Because one of the main contractors for the joint development of the MBT-70 tank with Germany was our Gage Xinda company, so our company not only has a full set of intellectual property rights for this power system, but also the design drawings and related production processes are also very detailed and retained, and the technical situation is definitely not inferior to the original technology of the German MTU company!"

Paulson said this with confidence, but in fact it was true, you must know that Gage Cinda invested a lot of resources in the MBT-70 tank project, originally thought that this tank could bring unprecedented profits to Gage Cinda Company, but did not expect that the plan could not catch up with the changes, and the United States and Germany both discontinued the project because of differences.

And this also made the Gage Xinda company greatly damaged, completely reduced to a small and medium-sized arms company, but even so, about the MBT-70 tank technology reserves, Gage Xinda company still retained, the so-called joint tank development project for China most of its technology is derived from the MBT-70 tank, of course, at that time Gage Xinda company did not take out the power system, but now it is to move out all the good things at the bottom of the box.

And what Lu Jiadong wants is the good things that are pressed at the bottom of the box by Gage Cinda Company, and because of this, when he saw the memorandum submitted by Gage Cinda Company, he was deeply relieved in his heart, only to feel that his hard work for so many days was not in vain, and when he listened to Paulson's slightly excited words, his hanging heart was even more relaxed, and then the indifferent smile that was originally on his face became even brighter (to be continued). )
