Not long after Anderson and Brown ended their talks, they took a proactive stance and soon had two informal contacts with China's current department responsible for foreign weapons and equipment procurement, that is, the Third Bureau of the General Staff Department; although the Third Bureau of the General Staff Department headed by Liu Haotian did a very good job in completing the task of negotiating and signing arms sales to Pakistan and establishing good cooperative relations with China, the United States, and Pakistan, it can be said that the entire arms sales project was very successful.

Not only that, the United States, out of global strategic considerations, sold Chinese weapons and equipment to Pakistan and Afghanistan, and ultimately achieved the goal of curbing the southward expansion of the Soviet Union, and has always been happy to see it happen, and will even buy some so-called "Soviet" weapons from China out of its own pocket to support the anti-Soviet resistance groups in Afghanistan.

Not only is China on the weak side of the negotiations, but the British side only takes care of its own interests, and it is precisely for this reason that the Chinese side has made full preparations for this, after all, the British are an old imperialist country, and the means and style of doing things that dominated the world have been completely inherited, and if you do not do your homework, it is easy to be deceived!

Therefore, the Chinese side attaches great importance to these two informal contacts, saying that they are informal, but everyone treats such contacts as formal negotiations to deal with them, and formulates a detailed response plan for the barriers, restrictions and other contingencies that the British side may raise before the contact.

Because of the sincerity and openness shown by the British in the course of these rounds of contacts, although they could not go into more details in the informal contacts, the British side did its best to show and explain to the Chinese side some of the excellent performance and high combat effectiveness of the artillery reconnaissance and school firing radar that they were preparing to sell.

And this also made the members of the Chinese arms trade team excited, believing that this radar is what China needs the most, especially the few technologies that the British side claims to be unique, and it has caught the itch in the hearts of many people like Zhong Xiaomo who have an extreme thirst for technology.

It is precisely because of the attitude and sincerity shown by the British side in the informal contacts that the Chinese personnel not only did not feel any sense of weakness, but also had a faint sense of superiority in their hearts. The argument that the British Empire had long since fallen into a second-rate country and that there was nothing to worry about gradually spread in the Third Directorate of the General Staff in charge of foreign arms trade, and was accepted by the majority of the people.

However, such an informal contact with the soul and lust made many people in the Third Bureau of the General Staff a little unable to sit still. Although the two sides met in such contacts, they were not open and honest, and many details were not known at all, except that the British would throw out some extremely tempting things from time to time during each contact.

For example, a certain performance of the radar or the percentage of the profit in the price are very unbearable. Therefore, behind the argument of the decline of the British Empire, the call for formal negotiations to be launched as soon as possible has gradually become louder in the Third Bureau of the General Staff, and more and more people support it.

And this naturally includes Liu Haotian, director of the Third Bureau of the General Staff Bureau, who is specifically responsible for arms and trade affairs, not only that, but in the recent period, Liu Haotian is even more energetic, although the British are so cooperative Although he was surprised, but at the same time, Liu Haotian was very surprised.

And then he was very confident to complete the project of purchasing artillery reconnaissance and school firing radar from the British, which was already very easy, especially after being rejected by all the other countries, Liu Haotian felt that the sincerity of the British was so commendable, and the spirit was so fearless and commendable.

Of course. Liu Haotian, who was happy, did not lose his mind, so even if he wanted to start formal negotiations in his heart, Liu Haotian still held back the impulse in his heart and put the proposal back, and the reason why he did this was because there was an important reason, that is, he was waiting for someone, and this person was none other than Lu Jiadong, a recognized expert in arms trade negotiations who was well known to everyone in the Third Bureau of the General Staff Department.

The unexpectedly successful arms sales to Pakistan were due to the efforts of all members of the Chinese delegation on foreign arms sales composed of the Third Bureau of the General Staff at that time. The most important and core reason is the existence of Lu Jiadong, it can be said that he is like a thin steel needle with his advanced vision, accurate judgment and decisive action.

Wandering between Pakistan, the United States, and several other parties, they finally threaded these parties together with a thin thread, and thus reached this shocking foreign arms sales agreement. At that time, some people predicted that Lu Jiadong would be retained in the Third Bureau of the General Staff and continue to give full play to his ability in arms sales, and even Liu Haotian, then director of the Third Bureau of the General Staff Department, had such an idea in his heart.

According to the current situation of the lack of relevant talents in the Third Bureau of the General Staff and the qualifications and influence of Director Liu Haotian in the army. It is logical that Lu Jiadong stayed in the Third Bureau of the General Staff Department, but in the end, what everyone didn't expect was that Lu Jiadong did not stay, but returned to the Wanshan Factory and re-embarked on the road of military research and development.

Now faced with the new project of purchasing artillery reconnaissance and school firing radar from abroad, Lu Jiadong has been transferred back again, and the entire Third Bureau of the General Staff Department and the relevant personnel involved in this foreign procurement have all felt excited and looking forward to it after learning of this incident, after all, Lu Jiadong's ability in foreign arms sales is obvious to all, but although people are looking forward to Lu Jiadong's arrival, there are still many people who feel that transferring Lu Jiadong over is really a bit of a knife to kill chickens.

You must know that the current Britain is no longer the British Empire 100 years ago, just with a few informal contacts, the guys who show everything like pouring beans, as long as they are a caring person, they can play this group of British Yankees at the negotiation table, and in this case, send Lu Jiadong over, it will not be devastating!

"After three rounds of informal contacts, we only learned about the basic performance of the FANO15 'Simberson' artillery reconnaissance and school-firing radar provided by the British and the willingness of the British side to sell it!"

Everyone else was happy with Lu Jiadong's arrival, and even felt a little relaxed, but Lu Jiadong, who was sitting at the negotiating table at this time, did not feel any relaxation, but felt that the burden of purchasing artillery reconnaissance and school firing radar was so heavy, and he didn't know if it was a coincidence or intentional.

Not long after Lu Jiadong arrived in Beijing, Brown, the chief commercial representative of the British United Technology Company, which is responsible for the sale of artillery reconnaissance and school-firing radars, suddenly demanded that formal talks be held immediately on the grounds that there was urgent business in South America that needed to be rushed over as soon as possible.

You must know that the Chinese side has long wanted to start formal negotiations, at least there is no need to go around in circles on some issues, whether it is good or bad is all on the table, but because of waiting for Lu Jiadong's arrival, the negotiation time has been delayed, and now that Lu Jiadong has arrived, since the British want to formally negotiate, it is not just the right time to take this opportunity to "kill the British at the negotiation table"!

Because of this, when Liu Haotian received the news, he immediately decided to negotiate, and Liu Haotian did not accept Lu Jiadong's request to postpone it for another day, because in his opinion, there was no need at all, the British had already cooperated so much, and now they had already stuck their heads out and waited for the next knife to be slaughtered, so there was no need to postpone it at all.

Instead, it should be quickly cut through the mess and get the artillery reconnaissance and school firing radar in hand, so on the way here, and even sitting at the negotiating table, Liu Haotian has been introducing the specific situation to Lu Jiadong in a relaxed and happy way:

"The performance of this radar is very good, and the sincerity of Britain is also very great, regardless of the restrictions of Western technical barriers, actively cooperate with us, even the United States and France cannot do this, from this point of view, although the British look serious, but they can indeed be trusted friends"

The scene of Liu Haotian bowing his head to introduce the situation to Lu Jiadong did not escape Brown's eyes, at this time he was sitting opposite, everything was ready, and then with his cold gaze glanced at the Chinese participating in the negotiation opposite, and finally fixed his eyes on Lu Jiadong, who was sitting opposite him and listening to Liu Haotian's narration, and then couldn't help but whisper to Anderson next to him:

"Look at the young man opposite me, it seems that it is not simple, that Officer Liu is a senior official of the Chinese ** side, and he chatted with him so eagerly!"

"Of course this young man is not simple!" Looking at Lu Jiadong opposite, a gentlemanly smile appeared on Anderson's face: "He is the one who made Blomberg fall behind!"

"He's Lu, so young!"

"But so what?" As soon as Brown's voice fell, the gentlemanly smile on Anderson's face revealed a little disdain: "He is not the same as that group of Chinese, they can't wait to do it opposite us!"

Brown nodded: "That's right, if Blomberg suffers in front of the Chinese, it means that he is more stupid than the Chinese!"

"So let's let Blomberg take a good look at what methods to use against the Chinese!"

As Anderson finished speaking, Brown looked at each other, and they could clearly feel each other's cold and sly smiles in each other's eyes (to be continued). )
