"Our C801 anti-ship missile uses a solid rocket engine, and the designers have applied the concept of 'one bomb for multiple purposes', making it extremely versatile and ......"

Lu Jiadong pointed to the C801 anti-ship missile model on the platform, detailing the data of this anti-ship missile, in fact, from the first glance of Messi and Riquelme, Lu Jiadong knew that these two were not ordinary people, although they were wearing civilian clothes, and they looked like ordinary visitors, but the unique temperament revealed in them was not an ordinary person, more like an active soldier.

Especially Messi, who is over half a hundred years old, has the kind of bearing and leader posture like a Western aristocrat revealed between his eyebrows, not to mention Lu Jiadong, even Lao Guo, who was in charge of the reception in the exhibition hall just now, and Hu Qinghua, who came out with him, both know in their hearts that these two Argentines are definitely not military fans who come here to hang out, and they are very likely to be important military and political officials in the country.

Therefore, it is not uncommon for them to introduce Lu Jiadong's polite and intentional products to these two Argentinians, in any case, it is not a few days before the end of the exhibition, and the military and political officials of any country must hold the principle of preferring to catch mistakes and not let go, and vigorously sell them.

Otherwise, the sales report card of this exhibition is really too ugly! Lu Jiadong's idea is actually the same as that of Hu Qinghua and Lao Guo, but deep down in his heart there is another unknown idea, and this idea is none other than the "Falklands Naval Battle" that will break out in a few days.

For Lu Jiadong, the "Falklands Naval Battle" is extremely familiar, but in his mind, this battle for the islands, which is more than 10,000 miles away from China, seems too far away, and there are no Chinese weapons and equipment in his memory to rebuke Fang Xuan, so even if he knows that there is this island battle that is enough to change the direction of future naval battles. Lu Jiadong did not think about this aspect, but set out to consolidate China's original arms market share.

Therefore, Lu Jiadong had prepared a few days ago to go to Tehran, Iran, after the Frankfurt Weapons and Equipment Expo, where he would sell Chinese weapons and equipment to Iran, which was in the stage of counteroffensive. If time permits, you can also go to Pakistan to sell some inventory to the guerrillas of the Afghan resistance group, and the combination of the two will not make this trip abroad empty-handed.

But as the saying goes, "People are not as good as heaven, and plans can't catch up with changes!" Lu Jiadong didn't want to find an unfamiliar Argentina, but Argentina's Messi and Riquelme came to the door by mistake, Lu Jiadong didn't care whether the two Argentines were out of curiosity or whim, as long as he stepped into the door of the hall. Just catch them anyway.

You must know that once China's weapons and equipment can be Yang Wei in the South Atlantic, it will be no less than a propaganda advertisement for China's military industry that shocked the world, and from then on, China's military industry may take advantage of the sales of low-end equipment such as Type 59 tanks, and completely enter the sales of high-end weapons and equipment with higher technology and greater profits, and China's military industry can also take this opportunity to transform gorgeously and achieve a new round of industrial upgrading.

It was precisely because he saw a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that Lu Jiadong took the initiative to introduce Chinese-made weapons and equipment to Messi and others. And also, consciously or unconsciously, focused the presentation on the new Chinese C801 anti-ship missile:

"Our anti-ship missile has a range of up to 40 kilometers, and the warhead is a semi-armor-piercing explosive munition. With a weight of 165 kilograms, a 3,000-ton battleship will sink as long as it hits one shot, and a 5,000-ton battleship will be a heavy blow even if it is not sunk, as for the self-guidance method, it is inertial navigation in the early stage, and active radar self-guidance in the attack stage. Skimming the sea, strong penetration ability. ”

"And what is the overall weight of this missile, and what about generalization?"

"The overall mass of our missile is 815 kilograms! In terms of generalization, I have already said before that our anti-ship missile can be used for both ships and aircraft. In the future, we will also develop a submarine-launched type, which can be used on all naval platforms!" Lu Jiadong replied with a smile, from Messi's curious, but seemingly unwavering eyes, Lu Jiadong knew that the Argentine high-ranking official's interest in C801 was not ordinarily strong.

In fact, it is true that the important purpose of Messi's trip to Europe is to see if there are similar anti-ship missiles in other countries and arms companies in the world in addition to the noble American "Whaling Fork" and the unreliable French "Exocet", but what disappointed him is that he has traveled all over Europe and the United States, but there is no similar missile, to be honest, if it were not for the invitation of Sarkozy of the French Thomson Technology Company, Messi and his party might have gone to Moscow in the east to try their luck.

However, what he didn't expect was that with strong curiosity, and just casually came to the Chinese weapons and equipment exhibition hall, he unexpectedly found the anti-ship missile that he had been looking for for a long time, although the booth was only a full-scale model of the missile, but the slender missile body, the rounded and slightly pointed warhead, and the compact overall structure were the unique characteristics of the "flying fish" and "whaling fork" in his memory.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that such an anti-ship missile, which can be ranked among the advanced in the world, would appear in China, which was extremely vague in his impression, as if it could only produce some ancient oriental countries that were slightly more advanced than during World War II......

"General, the more I look at this missile, the more it looks like a child's toy, not a real missile, I don't believe you look at other Chinese-made weapons and equipment around, there are few in the sixties, and this missile is the most advanced technology crystallization in Europe and the United States, how can China ......?"

Just when Lieutenant General Messi fell into deep thought, the adjutant next to him, Riquelme, leaned his head over and whispered softly in his ear, Riquelme's words were not finished, but his meaning was overflowing, looking at the Chinese showcase, it was true, the booth was full of weapons and equipment, large and small.

However, most of the equipment is the products of the fifties and sixties, and compared with the mainstream equipment of the eighties, especially the Western weapons and equipment that are experiencing the electronic information revolution, it is really not a little backward, but the C801 anti-ship missile, because of its smooth shape and unique structure, has a feeling of standing out from the crowd.

It's like a peacock suddenly running in from a group of miscellaneous chickens, how do people look and think, this peacock and that group of miscellaneous chickens are not the same breed, but belong to a more noble race, or it is a useless tablet deliberately placed in order to elevate the status of this group of miscellaneous chickens!

Messi nodded slightly, I don't know if it was a response to Lu Jiadong's introduction, or an affirmation of his adjutant's whispered reminder, his white face was also unfazed, and there was no trace of expression in his deep and dark eyes, just like a thoughtless ancient Roman statue, standing there quietly, looking at the Chinese weapons and equipment in the booth.

Messi's concerns, how can Lu Jiadong not see it, let alone Messi's, even if he is changed, everyone will have the same idea, this is like going to the mall to buy clothes, it is obviously a cheap store in an ordinary shopping mall, but there is an authentic limited edition "Louis Vuitton" on the central display cabinet In any case, it will not let customers associate this luxury product with the real thing, and the situation in today's Chinese military exhibition hall is similar, so Lu Jiadong feels that it is normal for Messi to have concerns, if not, it is unlikely that this person with the same name as the football superstar of later generations will not be able to serve as a high-ranking official in Argentina.

"Mr. Messi, can you tell us about your position in your country?"

"Ah, this. Messi didn't expect Lu Jiadong to turn the topic so quickly, he thought that Lu Jiadong would continue to take the trouble to explain the performance of the C801 anti-ship missile, or gush endlessly to justify the advancement and progress of China's military industry, but he didn't expect Lu Jiadong to say this, but suddenly asked about their identities, so that Messi did not react from the doubts about Chinese equipment for a while, but in any case, Messi has been in a high position for a long time, where can I not see that Lu Jiadong and others have noticed their unique temperament, so I couldn't help but smile and responded:

"I'm the head of the General Directorate of Armament of the Argentine Joint Chiefs of Staff, and this is my adjutant, a captain in the Air Force!"

"It's an honor for Your Excellency General and Mr. Captain to come to us!" Lu Jiadong still smiled, Lu Jiadong didn't want to talk about China's equipment anymore, but he knew that no matter how much he said it, it would not be effective, and there was no strong proof that he could do it, that is, Lu Jiadong spit lotus flowers in his mouth and said that the dead man was alive, and it was impossible to win the trust of others, after all, in terms of weapons and equipment, whether China or foreign countries all pursue pragmatism, it is difficult to convince people without real things.

It's the same for Argentina, but Lu Jiadong is not worried, because it's March 31, less than 100 hours before the official start of the epic naval battle, Lu Jiadong, who is familiar with the countless details of this war, knows very well that the predicament faced by Argentina after the outbreak of the war on April 2, as long as the time drags down and leaves a good impression on the Messi general, the sale of Chinese equipment to Argentina will naturally be a matter of course.

Just as Lu Jiadong changed his strategy and chatted with Messi and Riquelme about the scenery and football of Argentina again, a messy footstep broke the good atmosphere in the Chinese exhibition hall, and then a familiar French voice came in quickly:

"Dear General Messi, I thought you had gone somewhere, but I didn't expect to run to our dear Mr. Lu!"

As soon as the words ended, Sarkozy, an uninvited guest, appeared in front of everyone uninvited (to be continued. )
