Frankfurt in western Germany is a city rich in history, with the clear and beautiful River Main running through the city like a silver ribbon, and the gentle water of the river connects the ruins of the ancient Romans, the palm tree park, the Heringer Tower, the Eustinus Church, the ancient opera house, the famous Gothic building Frankfurt Cathedral and the headquarters of Deutsche Bank.

The splendor of ancient Rome, the heroism of Charlemagne, the darkness of the Holy Roman Empire, the ingenuity of Frederick the Great, the foresight of Bismarck, the burning of the two world wars and the subsequent rebirth of Nirvana, all show the heritage behind this city and the strict discipline of the German nation, thus creating this important financial, industrial, transportation and cultural center in the western part of the Federal Republic of Germany.

It is precisely because of the important position of Frankfurt that in the context of the current Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, the Federal Republic of Germany, which is at the forefront of the confrontation between the East and the West, regards Frankfurt as the most important strategic rear, and not only deploys the strategic reserve of the Bundeswehr here.

Moreover, he acquiesced in the construction of a large-scale Rhine-Main air base in the suburbs of Frankfurt to be used as an important operational hub for the strategic assembly and logistical supply of the troops of the United States and other allied countries

"Gollum~~~Gollum~~~Hum~~~~"

"Boom"

"Da Da Da"

At the training at the Frankfurt training base of the Federal German Army, the engines of all kinds of tanks emitted a piercing roar, and all kinds of cool maneuvers sat on the wide field; the light armored vehicles were not to be outdone, and they were busy wading through water, grabbing beaches, climbing hills, going off-road, and maneuvering at high speed; on the shooting range not far away, all kinds of long guns and short guns displayed their fire power against their set targets without any scruples.

The deafening sound of gunfire made the earth tremble. However, the faces of the arms dealers, media reporters, government dignitaries, and military representatives of all countries who gathered around to watch were filled with light-hearted smiles, either happy to find high-performance weapons and equipment here that could enhance their own strength, or excited to set another record for arms sales, or happy to have exclusive inside reports, or secretly happy to receive information about a new weapon.

Anyway, as long as you are wandering here, no matter what your identity is, it doesn't matter what white or black you are, or whether you are a Christian or a Muslim. I can find something I am interested in, and then leave with a look of extreme satisfaction and a smile on my face

Of course, in this large-scale, crowded exhibition, it is impossible to make everyone as satisfied, there are always a few losers in each edition, but compared with the vast majority of the winners, the proportion of these losers is simply small, unless there is shit luck in winning the $5 million lottery. However, unfortunately, the Chinese military-industrial delegation that participated in the Frankfurt Weapons and Equipment Expo for the first time unfortunately fell into this shit luck and became the exhibitor with the least sales revenue in the three days since the opening of the expo, a veritable loser

"Hi dear Hu, how is it today? It's the fourth day of opening, has it exceeded a million dollars in sales?" Blonde and blue-eyed, a very romantic foreigner. watched Hu Qinghua send several black men in military uniforms out of the booth, so he posted them with disdainful ridicule.

Hu Qinghua didn't even need to look at it, just listening to this extremely exaggerated French sentence with a strong Parisian aristocratic accent, he knew that Sarkozy, the sales director of the French Thomson Technology Company next door, turned around like a fly without a head. Speaking of this Sarkozy, Hu Qinghua's heart is a little complicated.

Speaking of disgust, this Sarkozy does not wear heavy colored glasses to the so-called red China like other Western people, let alone have the ability to slander it, but looks at some problems objectively enough. Give the least respect, and sometimes be very enthusiastic to help you, the construction of the booth here, and the arrangement of the relevant booths, this Sarkozy has helped a lot.

But I can't say that I like it, because this Sarkozy is extremely disdainful of the weapons and equipment brought by the Chinese military delegation, not only sarcastic to his face, but also will use his big mouth to talk about it everywhere, especially China's poor sales performance, which is always regarded as a joke, which makes Hu Qinghua very uncomfortable, perhaps as Lu Jiadong, who is responsible for the Chinese military delegation, said:

"The French are in business, if they have milk, they are mothers, and if they don't have milk, they don't recognize their fathers and mothers!"

It is precisely because of this complex mind that after Hu Qinghua saw Sarkozy, he didn't know what to say at all, so he could only show a professional smile and reply:

"Hello, Mr. Sarkozy!"

"Dear Hu, why do you pronounce it in English again? The French word 'hello' doesn't say that, maybe you don't know it, English is actually the evolution of our French, English at that time was like a bedbug in the sewer, and the noble nobles couldn't say it, so French is the most authentic and beautiful language, how wonderful is the French pronunciation of this 'hello'? If you are a little more affectionate, with your handsomeness, you can 100% capture the hearts of many young women and beauties outside the Louvre in Paris!"

Sarkozy spoke very out-of-the-box, and his movements were also exaggerated, but his handsome and delicate face was rare serious and stubborn, and he took the trouble to explain how orthodox and noble French is, just like a rooster who has always been arrogant and uninhibited, showing his sphere of influence, fortunately, when Hu Qinghua was in school, he studied French for a few years, so he can still understand, but he still doesn't understand why Sarkozy is so serious on this issue.

What I can't stand especially is that Sarkozy's very "rogue" nature, without saying a few words, he ran to how to seduce young women and beauties, those deep and debauched eyes, the eyes that reveal it are called romance if it sounds good, and it is simply "lewd" and "slutty" if it is not good, this is no way to face foreign friends, if this is in China, Hu Qinghua will 100% grab Sarkozy's neck and twist it directly to the public security organs:

"Okay, okay, I know your performance today is not good!" Although Sarkozy is only in his early thirties, his deep and charming blue eyes can not only see the face and figure of the beautiful woman, but also have a very good set of observations, if Hu Qinghua's impatient mood in front of him Sarkozy can't see it, he doesn't have to take the title of Thomson's youngest sales director ever to tease the girl, so he immediately retracted the boring French supremacy discourse, glanced at the Chinese booth, and continued:

"My dearest Lou must be in there, right? he must be even more sad, hey, what a poor man, I'd better comfort my old friend, Lou dear Lou."

Sarkozy babbled and said a lot, and then without waiting for Hu Qinghua to answer, he walked straight inside, as casually as if he had come to his own house:

"Haha, dear Lu, I knew you were here, how are you?

As soon as Sarkozy entered, he saw Lu Jiadong lying on the table next to the booth writing something, Sarkozy said with a charming smile, and sat opposite Lu Jiadong, in fact, Lu Jiadong already knew that Sarkozy was coming, to put it in his heart, he was not as entangled as Hu Qinghua about Sarkozy, after all, as a military expert who came later, he knew too well the personality of the French, especially their military and political virtues really made Lu Jiadong not very flattering.

The kind of Gallic chicken who always raises his arrogant head on the face and swears not to bow his head, but behind the scenes, as long as it is in his own interests, he can do anything about flies and dogs, and dirty things, as long as the price is in place, even if they take off their heavy chicken feathers, it is not impossible to be a real "chicken", of course, if there is a conflict of interest, the backlash is also extremely decisive and violent, so Lu Jiadong treats Sarkozy only plainly, not a general friendship, but also not how good the friendship is:

"It's okay, it's okay! It's okay, it's okay!"

"But it shouldn't be much!" Sarkozy said very bluntly, especially with his undisguised smile, as if all the happiness was based on the poor sales performance of the low-end of the Chinese military-industrial delegation, and then he raised his eyes and swept around the carefully placed weapons and equipment models, and continued:

"I said at the time, China's old equipment in the fifties, simply can't attract those ambitious countries, now the facts have proved my assertion, not to mention that no matter how good your propaganda brochure is, no matter how prominent the actual combat test is, it is impossible to show it all on the model, you must know that those African and Middle Eastern tyrants don't know what the quality of actual combat is, they just need to see those fancy dances and excited rings in the physical display area next to them, but dear Lu, you are too silent here!"

Lu Jiadong didn't need Sarkozy to say, and he knew the disadvantages of not having a physical demonstration, but he couldn't help it, the budget of the entire Chinese military-industrial delegation was very limited, and it couldn't afford the cost of long-distance transportation of heavy equipment, so he had to use exquisite models instead.

Even a small number of small arms in kind were airlifted by special means with funds squeezed out of their teeth, so Lu Jiadong just smiled at Sarkozy and did not answer, and Sarkozy didn't think about letting Lu Jiadong reply, after scanning the surrounding models, he focused his eyes on Lu Jiadong's face, and said word by word with rare seriousness:

"So in the present situation, dear Lou, would you consider considering my proposal the other day?" (To be continued.) )
