Actually, Philip didn't completely disbelieve Charley's words. The order he received was also clear, that is, this time to bring Anina back to Germany no matter what. The reason is simple, it is more beneficial for Germany to bring Anina back to Germany than to keep her in China.

Anina seemed to realize this, and she followed, "Yes, Mr. Philip, I am indeed only responsible for some of the basic parts, and I don't know the core parts. It's useless for you to bring me back to Germany, and besides, I don't want to go back. ”

Philip snorted coldly, "Miss Anina, I don't think you figured out the situation. This time, you have to go back to Germany, whether you want to or not. Even if Germany drops the charges against you, you have to go back and explain what happened. ”

"I ......," Anina was speechless.

Only then did Xia Lei speak up and say, "Mr. Philip, I believe that there is no business in this world that cannot be discussed. The chips you have are just Anina, but the chips in my hands are the production technology you want for the XL2500 sniper rifle and the Hurricane assault rifle. I think that as long as we sit down and talk, we will definitely come up with an outcome that we are both satisfied with. Did you say yes?"

Philip said: "Anything can be discussed, so let's talk about your terms." ”

"Before I speak, I want to make one thing clear," said Charleigh. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Mr. Philip, I would like to ask, is it your sole responsibility for this, or is someone else responsible?" asked Charleigh.

"Of course I'm in charge. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Heh!" Philip was a little unhappy, "Mr. Xia, do you think I'm not qualified as an ambassador?"

"No, no, no, I definitely didn't mean that. I apologize to you if my words make you uncomfortable. ”

"That's not necessary!"

Xia Lei continued: "What you want is the production technology of the XL2500 sniper rifle and the Hurricane assault rifle, which is very important for our country. However, we are not like you in the West, which impose a technological blockade on us. We'd like to share our production technology for the XL2500 Sniper Rifle and Hurricane Assault Rifle, but you'll have to share it with us. ”

"What do you mean?" said Philip, tentatively.

Xia Lei smiled, "For example, the technology of the Leopard 2 tank, the engine technology of the Typhoon fighter." ”

"Hahaha......" Philip burst out laughing.

Xia Lei stopped talking, just looked at Philip and smiled.

Philip said disdainfully: "Mr. Xia, you really dare to speak." Don't you think you're naïve if you want to exchange the technology for the production of light weapons for the technology of our German Leopard 2 tanks, and even for the engine technology of the Typhoon fighters? Moreover, you are too naïve!"

Xia Lei smiled, not angry at all in the face of such ridicule.

Aelita said: "Mr. Xia, you asked us if Mr. Ambassador is fully responsible for this matter, and I also want to ask you, what role do you play in this matter?

"I was empowered a long time ago. Xia Lei said.

He was indeed authorized, from Ling Hao. Ling Hao's identity is very special, and it is enough to have his authorization. Moreover, the quid pro quo he put forward was to seek the greatest interests for China, and he had the courage to cut first and then play.

"You can't do it if you have a mandate. Philip said, "Mr. Xia, the conditions you put forward are excessive. We just need to bring Anina back, this is our purpose, we will not do such a loss-making business with you. ”

"Loss? Xia Lei also smiled.

Philip said disdainfully: "What are you laughing at? Do you want to exchange the production technology of small arms for our tank and fighter engine technology, or can we still make money?"

"Mr. Philip, I know that your most advanced machine tool in Germany was made by an electrical engineer named Joseph, who himself is an excellent machinist. But do you really think his smart machine is the most advanced?"

Philip and Aelita were stunned for a moment.

Xia Lei continued: "I tell you the truth, the key technology for the production of the XL2500 sniper rifle and the Hurricane assault rifle is not only the structure inside the gun, but more importantly, the intelligent machine tool I made myself. Without my machine, even if you get my design, you can't build the same gun. ”

"Do you dare to say that your intelligent machine tool is more advanced than our German intelligent machine tool?" Philip came back to his senses, but he couldn't believe what Xia Lei said.

Xia Lei said lightly: "My production workshop is next to it, you can visit it at any time." ”

"This ......," Philip hesitated. He really wanted to visit the production workshop of the Leima Military Factory, but he was a layman and didn't understand intelligent machine tools at all, so he looked at it in vain. However, he did not doubt Xia Lei's statement. Because making guns is not only a matter of drawings, but also a problem of the production line, and the machine tool is an indispensable and important role in the production line. Without top-of-the-line machine tools, how could the Reima Arsenal produce the world-leading XL2500 sniper rifle and Blast assault rifle?

Aelita leaned over to Philip and whispered to him.

Xia Lei read what she said with her lips, and what she said was: I think what he said is true, and we should report this matter to the top. If we can get the intelligent machine tools of the Reima military factory, it will be a greater benefit for us.

Machine tools play a very important role in the manufacturing industry, in the past, Xia Lei has not stolen Joseph's intelligent machine tool technology, almost all the precision parts needed by China rely on imports. Why? It's because there are no advanced smart machines. This embarrassing situation was not until Xia Lei copied Joseph's intelligent machine tool. Now, Huaguo almost no longer imports foreign precision machining parts in the high-end field, and it can do it by itself. It can be seen that the importance of intelligent machine tools!

The intelligent machine tool of the Leima Military Factory is upgraded from Joseph's intelligent machine tool, which is more advanced and more perfect than the intelligent machine tool sold to Shenzhou Industrial Group. It can be said that the intelligent machine tools in the Reimaa military factory are the most advanced intelligent machine tools in the world, and there is no one! This is indeed a great temptation for the Germans, who are unique in the world in manufacturing.

Reading Aelita's lips, Xia Lei already had a bottom in his heart, but he said quietly: "Mr. Philip, in this way, you can report it to your side." Let them send an expert group to come and look at our smart machines and look at our production lines. And if you still think you'll be able to make a real XL2500 sniper rifle and a Hurricane assault rifle when you bring Anina back, then you can take her back and I won't put any obstacles in the way. But if you're talking about business, I'm always welcome. You take what you want, we take what we want, and that's in everyone's interest, isn't it?"

"Mr. Xia, you have a point. I don't know about smart machine tools, and I don't know how to make guns. Well, I'll go back to the embassy now, and then make a phone call back and see what we mean over there. I'll contact you as soon as I have any news. Philip said.

Xia Lei smiled: "Then so be it, it's a pleasure to meet you." Goodbye, Mr. Philip. Goodbye, Miss Aelita. ”

Philip and Aelita stood up and shook hands with Charley and Anina, respectively.

Charley sent Philip and Aelita out the door, and said lightly, "Mr. Philip, please explain the situation clearly. The production technology of the XL2500 sniper rifle and the Hurricane assault rifle, coupled with the world's most advanced large-scale integrated intelligent machine tool technology, is exchanged for the engine technology of your Typhoon fighter. ”

"Don't you want the technology of the Leopard 2 tank?" Philip looked at Xia Lei.

Xia Lei smiled: "It's not good to be too greedy, my mother once taught me that you can't be too greedy." Let's trade three techniques for one of you, and I think it's pretty much the same. ”

Philip glanced at Anina beside Xia Lei, "What about her?"

"Mr. Philip, Anina is not a commodity, she is my woman. Do you think it's appropriate for you to include her in this deal?"

Philip pointed at Xia Lei with a wry smile, "You are a shrewd businessman. It is no wonder that your Chinese country has risen in 30 years, and you Chinese people are really a rare outstanding nation in this world. ”

Xia Lei smiled, "Then be friends with us as soon as possible." ”

Philip and Aelita left.

The negotiations were inconclusive, but both sides figured out each other's intentions and made a good start to the negotiations that followed. This is also a big bonus.

Back in the office, Anina hugged Charley, "Lucas, I like it when you say I'm your woman." I was so excited when I heard you say that. Then, she leaned into Xia Lei's ear and whispered something.

Xia Lei subconsciously glanced between her legs, and his expression was quite strange.

"Lucas, do you really want to exchange all our technology for the engine technology of the Typhoon fighter? If you change it, even if we get that kind of technology, we will not be able to produce it, but what we will lose is real benefits. Tell me, why?"

"Our country's engine technology has always been very backward, and the engines of most fighters need to be imported from Russia, and they are subject to restrictions everywhere," Shalei said. If I can change this, then why not? I may lose my monopoly on the XL2500 sniper rifle and the Tempest, but my personal gains and losses are nothing compared to the interests of the country. Besides, I can't use up the money I make now for a few lifetimes, so what do I need so much money for?"

"You are a great person. Anina leaned into Charleigh's ear again and whispered something.

Xia Lei hurriedly dodged, "I have to make a phone call and report the situation here." ”

Anina curled her lips, "Then I'll go to work." ”

Xia Lei called Ling Hao. He briefly described the negotiation situation to Ling Hao.

"You kid is so bold!" Ling Hao scolded first, paused, and suddenly laughed again, "But you did a good job, if you can really change back to the engine technology of the Typhoon fighter, you kid can be regarded as a great achievement!"

"Then you're still scolding me?"

"Uh...... Am I scolding you?"

"Hehe, Brother Ling, I'm kidding you. Also, when it's time for a formal negotiation, you have to come in person. After all, such a thing is too big for me to call the shots. Also, please fight for Anina's freedom during the negotiations. ”

"I'm definitely going to come and talk in person, not just me, but a negotiating team. As for what you said about fighting for Anina's freedom, I would like to ask, what kind of freedom do you want to fight for her?"

"Freedom in China, freedom in Germany. The most important one is that the Americans cannot arrest her or interrogate her. ”

"Well, that's fine. She's German, and I'll bring it up when we negotiate, and I think they'll say yes. ”

"So be it. ”

"Goodbye, boy. Ling Hao hung up the phone.

Xia Lei put down his phone, but his mind returned to the original question - who leaked the secret?
