"Mr. Lu, your generosity is really admirable, seeing you, I seem to see the future of China!"

"Mr. Paulson, you are really a compliment, it is my lifelong honor to be friends with you"

"Mr. Lu is really joking, oh, by the way, if a final agreement can be reached this time, I hope that Mr. Lu can have time to visit the United States, and of course your wife, I heard that she is about to graduate from college, and she is very willing to study abroad, if Mr. Lu is willing, I think we at Gage Cinda will be happy to provide all necessary help to your friendly Chinese friend!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Paulson, I will consider your suggestion carefully, but you also said that the most important premise is that a final agreement can be reached this time, and you know that although we have reached a consensus, your company's conditions are still somewhat beyond our tolerance!"

"Now that there is a consensus, then everything is easy to talk about"

"Yes, yes"

After nearly two hours of negotiation near noon, Lu Jiadong and Paulson walked out of the small conference room side by side, both with satisfied smiles on their faces, and they talked happily with each other.

I would never have thought that in the past two hours, the two of them had been back and forth in front of the negotiation table, arguing with each other, and fighting with each other, but although they did not give in to each other at the negotiation table, the final result was basically satisfactory to the two main negotiation opponents, otherwise it would not have been possible to form a preliminary consensus in the end.

Because of this, the negotiators of the American Gage Cinda Company who followed Paulson were all relieved, and they were all full of happy and relaxed smiles, as if a group of students who felt that they were doing well but did not know their test results were in a good mood when they learned that their results were as expected. Happy, cheerful, relieved, relaxed, but not so excited and excited, but in any case, after all, after all, the core interests of Americans are safeguarded, and Joyy Fun should also be.

But among the relaxed and joyful Americans, there is one exception. And this person is none other than Phelps, the senior sales representative of Gage Cinda Company in the United States, at this time his slightly obese face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water, if it weren't for the fact that he was Caucasian, it is estimated that the dark face would not be recognized when thrown into the coal pile, and the eagle-like eyes stared at Lu Jiadong, who was talking happily with Paulson in front of him, and kept replaying the scene when he re-entered the small conference room in his mind:

"Our company prepares"

"Sir, may I interrupt and ask who is the chief negotiator of your company?"

"Mr. Lu. I apologize for my previous attitude"

"I don't know if I'm qualified enough, but I hope your company is qualified to negotiate with us!"

"Mr. Lu, I"

"I only hope that Gage Cinda will focus on the big picture!"

Then he went to the parlor next to the small conference room, with the tacit approval of his companion and the courtesy of the waiter, where he spent the longest two hours of his life, knowing that he Phelps had never been in such a terrible situation, neither in the United States Air Force nor the CIA, nor in the present Gage Cinda Company. He had never been treated like this.

But today he not only enjoyed it, but also had to pretend to be calm and uncomplaining. It seems that he is very happy to enjoy it, if it were in normal times, with Phelps's temper, he would have jumped up, but now he has to put away his arrogant and arrogant face and accept everything.

After all, what they heard in the corridor was so shocking that all the negotiators of the American Gage Cinda Company, including Phelps, were shocked, and they never expected that China's tank and armored vehicle technology would develop to such a point. The hunter-fighter fire control system and the Chobham composite armor alone are enough to dominate the whole world, and this is only what they have overheard, and how much more have they not heard? High-power engines, advanced large-caliber smoothbore guns, and new anti-tank ammunition that can change the principles of tank engagement

Phelps didn't dare to imagine it, and neither did his colleague and friend Paulson. None of the negotiators of the entire Gage Cinda Company dared to think along this line of thought, because it would be a super-first-class tank that would be enough to shake the world, although such conventional equipment could not change the pattern of the world like a nuclear ~~weapon~~, but it could change the strategic situation in the entire Far East!

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, an advanced tank is at most a worry for some countries, as for affecting the situation in the entire region at all, but Phelps and Paulson and others are not ordinary ordinary people, but senior experts who have been in the army, intelligence systems and arms companies for many years, and they also serve as personal advisers to many senior government officials, so they have long been trained to have a pair of sharp eyes, and the so-called knowing the arrival of autumn only by seeing a leaf is not difficult for Phelps and others.

For example, the maturity of the hunter-fighter fire control system shows that China has made great progress in the field of military electronics, and many technologies can be applied to electronic communications, satellite navigation, missile control and guidance, and aircraft avionics systems in the future.

In addition, China's elaboration of the expansion reaction layer in Chobham armor shows that China has made long-term progress in the field of materials, especially in the field of composite materials, and now they are applied to the armor of tanks, and can be applied to armored vehicles with a little simplification, and strengthened can be applied to the construction of warships。

And this is only a small part of what they hear, other related fields will only be more, and if these technological achievements are applied to tanks, it is good, if they are expanded, and then enter other military industrial fields, and with the quality of Chinese hard-working, over time, what China's weapons and equipment will look like, including Phelps, all Americans involved in the negotiations can not imagine, then it will not be such a simple thing as changing the regional strategic pattern, it may rise to a competitive power, and then shake the pattern of the whole world, that is a big thing。

"We can't let China turn these new technologies from paper to reality, we have to find a way to interrupt their development, and now is the best chance!"

"I agree with your idea, Paulson! We can't miss it anymore, you must know that this place is a guest house of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the people who can come here to discuss technology are all China's top experts, but the people in charge just now are all sixty or seventy years old, and there are few young people at all, taking advantage of the fault line in China's military industry to completely strangle their technology!"

"The way to be familiar with the road, as long as you are slightly flexible and lower your posture, you are not afraid that the Chinese will not enter the trap, and besides, the young man also has a plan, then push the boat with the water"

"That's right"

Phelps thought about it, and involuntarily thought of the scene where he and Paulson decided to re-find Lu Jiadong and Hood Kuan to negotiate together, although he did not personally participate in the whole process, but seeing Paulson's satisfied smile, how could Phelps not know that the progress was not much different from the discussion between the two, so his eyes when he looked at Lu Jiadong's back turned from anger to disdain again, and an imperceptible indifferent sneer appeared on his face:

"It seems that this arrogant and somewhat ambitious young man is nothing more than that, but in any case, he is indeed a good 'friend' of the Americans!"

"I will report to the company headquarters as soon as possible!"

"I'll report to my superiors as soon as I can!"

"Good luck, Mr. Lu!"

"You too, Mr. Paulson!"

Just when Phelps was wandering into the sky, the group had already walked out of the guest house, Lu Jiadong and Paulson said goodbye "reluctantly", and with the start of the black Toyota Crown car, the American Gage Cinda Company and his party rode away in the dust

"Jiadong, how is it? Is everything going well?" After Paulsen and the others left, Hu Qinghua, who was hiding in the corner, rushed out impatiently, and Zhu Guangrong, Zhong Xiaomo, and Zhu Haifeng, who followed him, all had nervous expectations on their faces!

"Smooth! It's unimaginable!" Without waiting for Lu Jiadong to answer, the canopy standing next to him replied with excitement:

"The Americans not only promised to return the original production line of the Northern Plant, but also prepared to sell the tank fire control system to us in large quantities, which they had never dared to think of before, and even the composite armor that they had always hidden was taken out this time."

"When did the Americans get so happy?"

"It's not because you acted too well and let these audiences from the United States get too involved in the play!" Looking at Hu Qinghua's surprised expression, Lu Jiadong laughed and teased, while Zhong Xiaomo on the side raised his eyebrows:

"You Chief Master Lu don't look at how hard we old bones are, the whole body is sweaty when we speak, if these Americans don't enter the circle again, a few of us will have to get a swimming ring."

As soon as Zhong Xiaomo's words fell, a cheerful and happy laughter sounded in front of the guest house of the Academy of Sciences (to be continued. )
