Chapter 490: The Contest Begins

As if the heavens were looking forward to this man-portable bazooka contest between China and France, early in the morning of April 2, the dark clouds that had been gloomy for a long time finally dispersed, giving way to the long-lost spring sun, and officially bringing the whole of Frankfurt into the warmth of spring.

The warm spring breeze blows the green field, and the cheerful birds soar happily between the blue sky and white clouds, but the people on this field have no intention of appreciating this beautiful and picturesque scenery, because they are only thinking about one thing in their hearts at this time, that is, the contest between China and France......

"Hey, Pete, what do you think will be the outcome today?"

"Needless to say, I haven't read the newspapers of the past two days, my dear David! The technology of China's individual rocket launcher is not up to par at all, and I heard that there were casualties during the test, and maybe it can explode when it is displayed!"

"What newspaper, why haven't I seen it!" asked the man named David, a little puzzled, but at that moment the man named Pete took out a few copies of the latest newspaper from his briefcase, pointed to one of the pages on it, and said:

"That's it, the Herald Leader, and several mainstream European media have reported on this, it can be said that China's individual bazooka is definitely not a good equipment!"

"Well, it seems so!" David opened the newspaper and looked at it a few times, then nodded, and then continued thoughtfully: "It seems that I have to adjust the bet and lower the odds of winning for France, otherwise, I will lose a lot this time!"

"Then you hurry, hurry, this time is running out"

The two TV reporters who had come to the scene to cover the news had just set up the equipment they were carrying, adjusted the angle and focal length of the long guns and the short guns, and privately discussed the question of winning or losing between China and France today. And this was just one of the many talking scenes in the Frankfurt demo room......

As soon as the confrontation between China and France was reported, it immediately became the most eye-catching focus of the Frankfurt Weapons and Equipment Expo, and some media with a keen sense of smell took this opportunity to copy the heat of the Sino-French confrontation to the sky, attracting the attention of countless people in just two days, and under this heat. The related gambling game is also quietly opened in the light or in the dark.

It's just that these gambles are like a good discussion, none of them are optimistic about China, the reason is very simple, that is, China, a technologically backward and weak country, can move its equipment to the test site to compete with the technologically developed France, which is already a great honor, as for winning, hehe~~ It's just a dream!

Because of this, conversations similar to those between Pete and David resounded in the demo room. And the focus of their conversation is not who wins or loses, but to what extent is it appropriate to reduce the odds of France to win, after all, in their eyes, the win or loss between China and France is already obvious, and the biggest suspense left is how France will beat, or how to easily defeat China, of course, before solving the suspense, as a small gambling entertainment program. Naturally, the big and small bookmakers in these games should try to avoid unnecessary losses.

"Lu, it seems that the situation is not optimistic!" The noisy discussion in the demonstration hall can be said to be endless. Lu Jiadong, who was in an inconspicuous corner of the Frankfurt demonstration venue, could naturally hear it, but for him, these were not a big deal, but his old friend standing beside him, the former senior technical director of the American company Cinda Cinda Company, has now been promoted to the company's senior vice president and partner. But he frowned deeply, and said worriedly:

"The newspapers of the past two days have been very bad for you, and it is clear that this is the usual method of the French, and I think that no matter what, you will not be able to achieve the desired propaganda effect this time!"

"And what if we win?"

"Win?" Paulson looked at Lu Jiadong with an indifferent smile in disbelief. only felt as if his ears had heard it wrong, and when he saw that Lu Jiadong had no extra reaction, he knew that he had not heard it wrong, so he shook his head helplessly:

"Lu, I think you, as a military industry expert, should know better than me that there are only a few core technologies of individual rocket launchers, if strictly speaking, there is no good or bad at all, and it doesn't matter if you win or lose, so the key is to look at the means outside the demonstration field, for this, even we Americans are not as shrewd as the French!"

"Mr. Paulson is right!" As soon as Paulson's words fell, Blomberg, who was standing on the other side with his hands around his chest, took over, at this time he had already invested in the company and became the largest shareholder of the company, and this Frankfurt Weapons and Equipment Expo, he, a senior arms dealer, naturally could not miss it.

Of course, he will not forget his old Chinese friend Lu Jiadong, at this time he and Paulson came to find Lu Jiadong, but also so that Lu Jiadong does not have to care too much about this competition:

"The virtue of the French is to be unscrupulous, so no matter what the result is, I don't think you should take it to heart, if you want to publicize China's weapons and equipment, there are many methods, but it really can't work, and I and Mr. Paulson are here, although we are not very well connected in Europe, but there are still a few friends in the media, if not, let them open a few pages for you to publicize and publicize. ”

"It's better to say 10,000 sentences, it's better to bang and bang, it's too early to judge victory or defeat!" Blomberg's words were just halfway through when Lu Jiadong took over with a smile:

"Anyway, I pressed China to win, a hundred dollars, one to one hundred odds, very profitable, do you want to follow?"

After speaking, he showed a brighter but extremely confident smile at the two, and then strode towards the demonstration field, leaving only Blomberg and Paulson, who looked at each other, and the two glanced at each other at a loss, and then shook their heads helplessly, and walked towards the demonstration field behind Lu Jiadong......

At the same time, in the center of the temporary observation area next to the demonstration field, Sarkozy, sales director of Thomson Technologies in France, was facing large and small long guns and short cannons and more than a dozen microphones around him, and made a very enthusiastic speech in his charming French tone:

"The code name given to this new individual rocket launcher by our French Thomson Technology Company is 'Thunder', as the name suggests, it is to make him a thunderbolt in the hands of soldiers, completely tearing the enemy to pieces, it can be said that this bazooka is the culmination of our Thomson's latest technology in this field,

It can be said that it is the most advanced rocket launcher in the world, as far as we know, the main armor of the world's active tanks can not withstand the direct attack of this rocket launcher, in addition, we have also developed infantry killing ammunition and strong fortification damage ammunition according to different needs, truly achieving the diversity of tasks!"

"And what about the recoil of this bazooka?" asked a veteran defense correspondent.

"The recoil of 'Thunder' is already unbelievably small, how it is, you will be able to see it with your own eyes later!"

"And what do you think of similar products in China?" another reporter asked.

"Opinion?hahaha~~~" Sarkozy didn't care about the camera in front of him that was recording his words and deeds, laughed loudly without scruples, and then said contemptuously: "I just hope their bazooka doesn't explode in his hand!"

"Hahaha~~~"

Listening to Sarkozy's words, a group of reporters also laughed loudly, anyway, Sarkozy's statement represents the unanimous view of their Western reporters, just like that, in a cheerful laughter, Sarkozy ended the interview, and at the same time as the reporters dispersed one after another, Sarkozy's assistant Le Pen walked to Sarkozy's side, whispered a few words in his ear, and then pointed to Lu Jiadong and others who were walking not far away, Sarkozy raised his eyes, his blue eyes suddenly narrowed, and he couldn't help but snort coldly:

"Hmph! There are really Americans!"

"So what the gentleman has laid out is really too correct, otherwise, you will inevitably fall into the trap of these cunning people!"

"They are cunning, and we are not stupid, what cunning fox have you ever seen that can fight a clever hunter?" said Sarkozy with a conceited expression, and a look of complete control appeared unabashedly on his white and proud face:

"No, not from ancient times to the present! Today, just today, let them see how we, the clever hunters, strangled those cunning foxes!"

"That's right, with Mr. Sarkozy here, we will definitely peel off the skin of this little Chinese fox, and see if he dares to do anything with us in the future!"

Le Pen's sycophant shot was obviously in the right place, which made Sarkozy sound particularly comfortable, and the smile on his face was even brighter, and he glanced in the direction of Lu Jiadong, then raised his arm and looked at his watch:

"It's almost nine o'clock, and this good show is about to start, and then let's see how such a wonderful drama will go down in history!"

With that, Sarkozy and Le Pen walked towards the front of the observation deck with laughter all the way......

The hand of time soon pointed to nine o'clock, and the atmosphere in the Frankfurt demonstration hall suddenly reached the highest point, because everyone knew that the Sino-French bazooka contest that countless people had followed in the past two days had officially kicked off......
