"Sir, I'm afraid that just a million dollars can't satisfy the appetite of Chinese!" Peter, senior vice president of Gage Cinda Company, smiled bitterly, but said bluntly:

"Especially the young man named Lu Jiadong, there are signs that there has been a major shift in the progress of our business in China recently, and it is largely because of his presence"

"Are you saying that Paulson and the Chinese are giving us a Shakespeare play?" Williams frowned before Pitt could finish speaking, and just yesterday he had received news of the CIA's analysis report, coupled with the recent excessive concessions to China.

This made him, the helmsman of the conservative arms company, naturally point the finger at Paulson and Phelps, who are in charge of China affairs, and instructed the company's internal audit department to carry out internal secret investigation work yesterday evening.

You must know that Williams, who is now 60 years old, has been crawling around in the US military industrial circles and the international arms market for decades, and he has seen more chickens, dogs, thieves, flies, and dogs than those who claim to be senior military industry experts at present, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a veteran.

It is precisely for this reason that when he received the report on the plan change sent by Paulson, he had serious doubts about it, and according to his original intention, he completely ignored China's so-called new technologies and refused to approve all the so-called plan change projects, but at this time, a series of US military exercises against the Soviet Union's "Western-81" large-scale exercise last year gradually reached a climax, including a strategic strike exercise against the Soviet mainland that carried out a nuclear ~~strike~~ attack on the Soviet mainland, which just ended recently.

And this caused great concern and dissatisfaction in the Soviet Union, and the relations between the two superpowers slipped sharply towards the freezing point. In order to deal with the threat of the Soviet Union, the United States will inevitably unite its allies and partners around the world to contend with it, so that China, which has been confronting the Soviet Union in the Far East for more than a decade, has become more and more prominent in its important role in the global structure of the United States.

For these deep-seated reasons, Williams, although extremely conservative about the Red regime, did not rashly veto, but found his old friend. The current US Secretary of Defense Weinberg deliberated before finally deciding to approve Paulson's plan to change the plan.

However, his original intention in doing this was not only for the practical interests of the United States, but more importantly, for the benefit of Gage Cinda itself, because Williams would spare no effort to secretly manipulate and plot in private, and on the surface, he still wanted to maintain his policy toward China as before, so instead of canceling the internal investigation of Paulson and Phelps, he also intended to use them as scapegoats for the failure of China's business after the two returned to China.

In this way, he and his Gage Cinda company can earn both a plus for the conservative forces in Congress and a gain for the real interests of the U.S. government. Such a two-pronged abacus, Williams can be said to be crackling, but he didn't expect that when he was waiting for him to count the "little ninety-nine" in his heart, the Chinese side came up with a "calculus", which directly blew Williams's small abacus out of the table, and because of this, when he heard the news of all the source code in the M25A64D fire control system, the first thought was two words - conspiracy!

"Paulson is our head of technology. Will he be"

Williams's dark blue pupils shrank, and fox-like cunning and determination burst out at the same time. And his unfinished words are even more self-evident, Peter, who was sitting on the sofa in his office, could naturally understand it, but he didn't continue on Williams's words, but shook his head reluctantly:

"Sir, I know what you think, but in fact Paulson knows the source code of the fire control system. But he is not proficient, maybe he may have a copy, but it is really impossible for him to find a loophole, and I think Mr. Williams should know this better than I do!"

Peter's words are right, Paulson is just one of many technical leaders. Moreover, he was not a core member of the source code programming, and he may have crossed paths during the development process, and he knew some things, but he never knew much about it, and Williams, the man at the helm of Gage Cinda, knew this better than anyone.

"It seems that the Chinese really have some skills!" Williams was silent for a while, but then his wrinkled face pulled out a sinister smile, but asked a question that he didn't want to do with the current topic:

"What is Blomberg's guy doing with the Chinese in a pair of pants right now, and is he still jumping up and down the Capitol Hill?"

"He's also rallying with a few conservative lawmakers to attack our cooperation with China, and it seems that he's also interested in the CIA's analysis and is preparing to use it to attack us."

"Hmph!" Before Peter could finish speaking, Williams snorted, and his dark blue eyes immediately shot out two sharp and shrewd gazes, as if a god had seen through all the fog of events, nodded with a sneer, and muttered intriguingly:

"What a wonderful show!"

"Big drama, no, I don't quite understand what you're saying, sir!"

"You don't have to understand, because in this play, the climax is developing, so you just have to watch the play, Mr. Peter."

"What do you mean, sir?"

"If you can't solve it with one million, you can use two million, and if you can't do it with two million, you can use three million!" Before Peter finished speaking, Williams waved his hand at him, in his opinion, M25A64D the source code of the fire control system is completely mastered, although it is not a good thing, but it is not a bad thing, you must know that Williams, who knows the situation of the M25A64D fire control system, has long been left behind for this.

Based on the upgraded version of the M25A64D fire control system M25A76A the fire control system has entered a substantial stage of maturity, if Chinese has to use the so-called M25A64D fire control system as a threat, then he can take this opportunity to promote the new fire control system, not only can China stop there, but also make a lot of money from it.

Of course, it will take some time to achieve this goal. Therefore, delay is the best way, and because of this, the scheming Williams knows that China's Lu Jiadong cannot ask for money, but he wants to use money to solve it, to put it bluntly, he wants to use this matter to delay it, so as to win him valuable time for the US government's modification budget. And this is what he calls the high ~~ tide of drama:

"In a word, what can be solved with money is not called a thing! The most important thing is to drag the time down for me, you can go back and tell Paulson, as long as it drags on for a week, he will be the vice president when he comes back!"

"Vice President?" Peter couldn't help but be a little surprised, but before he could wake up, the office door was knocked on by "Knock~~~~", and then an assistant anxiously pushed the door open:

"Mr. Williams, Paulson called again. There's something urgent to find Mr. Pete, you see."

"Get the call straight to me"

"Hi Paulson, I'm Williams, I already know about the M25A64D fire control system, your bottom line is five million dollars, with money, I repeat that you can only use money. The key is to put the time down what? What do you say? Say it again."

Williams, holding the phone, spoke like a king, in an unquestioning tone. Through the telephone line, he gave orders to Paulson on the other side of the ocean, but when he listened to Paulson's report on the other side, he couldn't believe his ears, and asked again in disbelief:

"Representatives of General Electric and Northrop have arrived in North ~~~ Beijing?"

"Sir, they have arrived in Bei~~~ Beijing, and have made contact with the Chinese side"

"How is it possible? How can they go to the north~~Jing?" Williams felt a chill on his body. Whether it is taking the opportunity to bring down the northern factory or exporting technology to disrupt the development of China's military technology, the fundamental reason is to completely control China's military industry and then dominate China's arms market. Find a new economic growth point for Gage Cinda Company that is enough to support the development of the next ten years.

It is precisely because of this that Williams, through his good friend Weinberg, has the support of the U.S. government, bypassing those who are fighting for the homeland. The big arms dealers in the European and Middle Eastern markets entered China in great strides, thinking that they would completely become puppets of Gage Cinda while China had just opened its doors and had no experience in everything, but they did not expect those big arms companies to react so quickly and enter China so quickly, and this indicates that Gage Cinda will be marginalized, and everything he Williams planned will come to naught

"Sir, are you still listening?" Just as Williams was stunned, in the earpiece close to his ear, Paulson's hurried voice came again, and Williams also woke up from his short thought, and then his eyes were fixed, and he asked in a cold tone:

"How could they go to China at this time?"

When Paulson on the other end of the phone heard Williams's question, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, this old fox is still so suspicious at this time, but now you old guy still have time to doubt? Although Paulson thought so in his heart, he did not show the slightest expression between his words, and still said to the microphone in his hand with respectful but anxious words:

"I heard that it was China that obtained the information on the structure of the main armor of the T-80 tank, which was newly developed by the Soviet Union, and the structure of silicon carbide."

Williams listened quietly to Paulson's every word, but his face became extremely pale, and then he only felt that his body was extremely empty, and he slumped on the back of the chair with a pop.

The T-80 main battle tank, which is the latest main battle tank of the Soviet Union, the main force of the new generation of armored torrents, has been tracked by the United States throughout the whole process of the development of this tank, but the Soviet Union's secrecy work is very good, and the United States only has the general data of this tank, but there are almost no core things.

However, China not only got the data related to the T-80 in hand, but also analyzed its core armor structure and theoretical principles in a meticulous manner, and the technical terms "failure wave value principle," "Alexei theory," and "array arrangement structure composed of silicon carbide ceramic balls" were like a sharp sword stabbing into Williams's beating heart, and then twisted twice ruthlessly

Williams is not a fool, he knows that the Chinese side has seen his cards, and now they are telling the Americans about the core technology of the Soviet T-80 tank, obviously for the sake of Sino-US cooperation, but in fact the spearhead is directly aimed at Gage Cinda Company, and if you want to delay time, then first see if your competitors agree.

And this may be only part of it, if there is any further hesitation, the Chinese side may send the source code vulnerability of the M25A64D fire control system directly to the KGB office in China, and it will take Williams a week to coordinate all the preliminary preparations at the earliest, while China only needs an hour, and the mobilization time of the Soviet troops is only a short 48 hours.

Therefore, China's deliberate disclosure of such a rumor is not a goodwill at all, but a warning, and even more a naked ~~naked ~~ naked threat, but in the face of such a threat, Williams has no room for counterattack, will he jump out and oppose China's briefing of the United States on the technical situation of the T-80 tank? Will he loudly tell those big arms dealers and their supporters on Capitol Hill that this is all a conspiracy of the Chinese? Will he let him fully disclose all his unknown plans against China?

Williams can't do it not because he doesn't want to do it, but he doesn't dare to do it, because the consequences are unbearable even for him, a veteran of the American military industry, so he can only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and if the matter ends here, Williams can grit his teeth and recognize it.

It's just that such a defeat will inevitably have an avalanche effect, and it is very likely that several major arms companies such as General Electric will take this opportunity to completely carve up Gage and Cinda Company directly, such a situation is absolutely unbearable for him Williams, and the drama he expects is high ~~ Although the tide has been staged, it is indeed a tragedy that he cannot accept

"China's Lu Jiadong, is it him?" Williams muttered into the microphone as if talking to himself, and Paulson on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked suspiciously:

"What do you mean, sir?"

Williams did not answer immediately, but a miserable smile appeared on his face, although he had never seen Lu Jiadong, let alone the details of this young man, he could still feel that a young Chinese face was sneering at him, making him creepy and shuddering:

"Grant him all his requests, even if he asks me for an old man, you give them to him" (To be continued.) )
