Chapter 260: Neocolonialism

"It's been forty minutes!" Brown in the middle of the conference raised his arm again, looked at his watch, and then looked at the door of the conference room, although he was still expressionless, but from the slightly throbbing tone when he spoke, he could also feel the excitement in Brown's heart at this time:

"I haven't seen the shadow of a Chinese yet, it seems that the arrival of their so-called big chief is indeed extraordinary, and even the minimum time is not observed!"

Although Brown's words were a complaint, the words were full of disdain and sarcasm, and Anderson, who was sitting next to him, still had a gentlemanly smile on his face, and while playing with the pen in his hand, he said seemingly casually but very confidently:

"I told you a long time ago that the Chinese have a different style of acting than we do, they like to follow a unified tone to carry out orders, in their words called 'guiding spirit', and the same is true for negotiations, since China is in contact with us so frequently, it proves that their leadership has set the so-called tone, if someone wants to break through this rule, it can only be said that he is looking for death!"

Listening to Anderson's words, Brown couldn't help but nodded, and then praised Anderson: "My old friend, now you can be called an authentic Chinese expert, and you are too accurate in your understanding of the hearts and practices of the Chinese!"

"This is nothing! The Chinese are actually very simple, with your ability, Mr. Brown, you can figure out everything in this country in less than a year!" Anderson waved his hand, and then said modestly, but as he spoke, Anderson suddenly changed his words and said quite seriously: "This time, the old head of their military scientific research and foreign trade in military products came here a little unexpectedly. If it weren't for my adjutant who went outside to get my cigar and stumbled upon his arrival, we would have been in the dark!

However, it is good that he is here, which proves that China's high-level officials attach great importance to our arms sales project this time, and not only that, but it is also a certainty for Lu Jiadong's disposal. Such a blatant and open opposition to the policies formulated by the high-level, this Lu Jiadong really does not know how they write 'death' in Chinese, and the disposal of Lu Jiadong also shows that our plan can be smoothly advanced, and in this respect, this old chief can be said to be beneficial to us without harm!"

"You're right, Mr. Anderson, I seem to be able to see Lu Jiadong now. The sight of being reprimanded by their so-called chiefs, and the solemn scene of us formally signing the contract!" Brown's face showed an unnatural smile of hope, and his gaze was even more faint, as if everything he had said was happening right in front of him. But it didn't take long for Brown's face to fall silent again, a pair of slightly thick eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then said to Anderson beside him:

"My dear friend, although Lu Jiadong, an opponent, may be kicked out of the negotiating team, we still can't take it lightly, if the situation is different from what we estimated."

"Don't worry, my dear Mr. Brown, even if they are different from our estimates! Do you think the Chinese have any other choice?" A disdainful smile flashed across Anderson's face, and the corners of Brown's mouth turned up after listening:

"That's right, they really don't have a choice at all, and they're here!"

Brown was halfway through his words. The door of the conference room was suddenly opened, but to Anderson and Brown's surprise, the person who came in was not the so-called China** trade group composed of ** individuals before, but only Liu Haotian, who was responsible for the specific leadership of the entire arms sales project, and a personal translator, of course, there was a person who came in behind them, and that was Lu Jiadong!

I saw these three people come in. Especially when I met Lu Jiadong, whether it was Brown or Anderson. Both were surprised, but the two quickly calmed down. Especially Anderson, although he didn't know how Lu Jiadong managed to retreat under the opposition of many people and continue to calmly participate in the next negotiations, he knew very well that the contract drafted by Brown would inevitably be rejected by the Chinese opposite!

Anderson was right, when Liu Haotian and Lu Jiadong and the others sat down, Liu Haotian swept the British opposite with cautious eyes, and then said straight to the point:

"Mr. Anderson, Mr. Brown, after our careful study, we believe that the content of the contract drafted by Mr. Brown is seriously biased and has significant potential damage to our interests, so we propose to abolish this contract and let both parties jointly formulate the terms of the contract!"

"Oh, there is a serious bias in the contract, which damages the interests of your country?" As soon as Liu Haotian's words fell, Anderson's face flashed with a trace of incomprehension, and then he raised his head and glanced at Liu Haotian, who had a serious face on the other side, and continued:

"Mr. Liu, did you have a misunderstanding in the understanding of the contract?"

"Mr. Anderson!" As soon as Anderson's words fell, Lu Jiadong propped his elbows on the conference table in front of him, staring straight at Anderson opposite with firm and calm eyes, although his tone was flat, every word he said was like a thunderbolt, and he said: "If you explain clearly the specific data of several models of artillery reconnaissance and calibration radars, the methods and costs of maintenance and support, and the relevant matters of personnel training, I think we will naturally not have any misunderstandings!"

"Mr. Lu, I don't think your prejudice about the contract is really not ordinary."

"It's okay if you don't let me have prejudices!" Before Anderson could finish speaking, Lu Jiadong ruthlessly interrupted his words: "Then please ask Mr. Anderson to help me explain, why your country stipulates in the contract that every part of the artillery reconnaissance and calibration radar, even if it is a screw, must be imported from Britain? Why do you have to use British engineers for maintenance? Why is the personnel training fee so high?" The most important thing is why did your country provide us with the lowest-end initial radar, instead of the most advanced radar currently equipped by the British army? Are you ready to be ready to choke our necks again in the future when we upgrade and refit in the future, just like the previous clauses?"

"This" Lu Jiadong's voice was not high, but every sentence made the British people on the other side deafened; although the tone was peaceful, the words were like sharp steel needles, which made the two British officers on the other side feel like pins and needles; although his eyes were firm, but in Anderson's eyes, they were like two cold knives, passing through his chest and piercing into the violently beating heart, while his heart hurt, his whole body was like being in an ice cave, cold and abnormal, although his mouth trembled slightly, his words were like being frozen, and he couldn't say a word!

For Lu Jiadong's question, Anderson has no way to explain, because the trap they designed in the contract has been Lu Jiadong's original and discarded, Lu Jiadong is right, they formulated this contract for the purpose of jamming the neck of the Chinese, for which they first chose the initial development model of the "Simberson" radar as the basic radar, while retaining the further upgraded interface and outreach functions on it;

Second, it made a lot of covert and almost hegemonic stipulations on logistics support, maintenance services, equipment upgrades, personnel training, and other follow-up service support; finally, it released a lot of goodwill toward China, talked about good-neighborliness and friendship between the two countries, thought about friendly countries, and even did not hesitate to expose its own flaws for the other side to expose, so that China could relax its vigilance and sign this crisis-ridden contract.

And once this contract is signed, then the follow-up things will follow, personnel training costs money, equipment maintenance costs money, this is nothing, the most troublesome is all the parts, even if it is just a screw must be imported from the UK, and the maintenance personnel must be repaired and maintained by British engineers in person.

These costs alone greatly exceed the value of the radar itself, and what is more terrible is that the radar provided by the United Kingdom is the initial development model, which has a lot of uncertainty and technical defects, and the failure rate of use is bound to be high.

These costs alone add up to four to five times the value of the radar itself, and if the problem can be solved with only money, it is okay to say, I am afraid that the British will use spare parts, repairs and upgrades to put forward some political conditions to China, otherwise they will use the accessories and upgrades in their hands to jam China's neck, and then China will have only two choices, either submit to the British conditions, or watch the radar that has invested countless money become a pile of scrap metal!

Anderson and Brown are both veterans of using this method, and they are familiar with using it, and they have been invincible in the Middle East, South America, and Africa, and even the equipment of some countries has been monopolized by them, and they have taken this opportunity to infiltrate the political, economic and other fields of these countries, so as to achieve the goal of manipulating and controlling this country, and this method is called neocolonialism in the international arms circles.

This arms sales to China, Anderson and Brown intended to copy this model that has been successful in many countries and regions, but they met Lu Jiadong, as a military industry expert who came from later generations, Lu Jiadong is very aware of the usual tricks of major arms industry countries and international arms dealers, not to mention, India's Gorshkov aircraft carrier project is the most typical example, because of this, Lu Jiadong will strongly oppose the signing of such a contract, because the purchase of such equipment is not the combat effectiveness of the army, but a meal of scrap iron that makes people have an infinite headache(To be continued)
