Chapter Ninety-Three: The Donkey's
After thinking about it, I never expected that the imperial capital would really kick this mess to himself, although this is the smartest and wisest thing to do. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Let Chen Xu buy arms, not only can one penny be used as two cents to spend, but also can get a lot of additional benefits, not to mention the effect of five billion, seven or eighty billion is still no problem.
According to the course of history, let the newly opened military go to do business with the Western world, but it was really slaughtered!
When the military imported weapons and equipment from abroad throughout the 80s, it did not get a few things that really brought technology, and the third-generation fighters and third-generation main battle tanks were not successfully imported; although some advanced Western management systems were introduced, they only broadened the horizons of China's scientific research, but the actual technical content was very little.
On the contrary, several cooperation projects with US imperialism have completely opened up their own research because of excessive worship of Western science and technology. I didn't learn what other people, but I exposed my own advanced design.
The imperial capital handed over such a large amount of military expenditure to Chen Xu and let individuals decide the weapons procurement of the entire army, which was also groundbreaking.
Considering the different interests of the major military regions, if the money is put into any unit, there will be no good results, and everyone will certainly pull ties and favors everywhere in order to rush for some equipment. The units responsible for arms procurement, on the other hand, must not only deal with foreign arms dealers, but also strive to balance the interests of various domestic countries. It would be a ghost if the weapons bought back in this way could be satisfactory, and although the procurement plan that balances the interests of each family is the most suitable, it must not be the best.
Five billion dollars seems like a lot, and it's a quick time to spend. Failure to maximize benefits is a huge loss for poor governments.
It can also be seen from this that the imperial capital is determined to change the poverty of the entire country, and in order to build a strong country, any old system and rules dare to break through.
Handed over the arms purchase to the individual, did not arrange supervisors, did not mention any conditions, and directly stuffed money for you to buy, whether it was good or bad, this kind of thing only Mr. Deng dared to do.
At the same time, it also proves that after Chen Xu made the "Sino-Japanese technology exchange contract for industrial equipment", "the arms trade case between the First Machinery Factory in the South and the Strauss family", "the Soviet Alpha-class nuclear submarine case", and "the Sino-US Arms Exchange Treaty", coupled with Chen Xu's identity as the second generation of the revolutionary family, he has won the absolute trust of the country, and they are not worried that Chen Xu will run away with the money, because the interests that Chen Xu has fought for the country these days are far from being comparable to this little money. Not to mention that the $5 billion was originally negotiated between Chen Xu and the United States.
Chen Xu glanced at the old general opposite, and then at the rows of soldiers outside, and instantly understood that this was the Huguang Military Region putting pressure on him! This was stopped halfway through the road before you arrived home, which means that you should get more good equipment for the Huguang Military Region. After all, the amount of money is fixed, and if the purchased weapons are more divided in this military region, the other military regions will have one less, and who is a soldier who does not love weapons, and who is willing to suffer?
Whether it is the old chief or General Chen Kewu in front of him, basically this method is used in the domestic officialdom, suppressing subordinates from superiors in the system, and if it is a dispute of interests between different units, put on a table of wine and analyze the pros and cons in a good voice, so that you can do things well, and if you don't cooperate, you will wait to be suppressed.
It's a pity that Chen Xu is a person outside the system, and he has no official status and no interest in anyone. He also doesn't ask for any favors from the state, so he doesn't bother with any pressure at all.
Chen Xu smiled and looked at General Chen Kewu opposite, picked up the chopsticks again and calmly picked up the goose meat that fell on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it without hurry, and did not forget to nod with satisfaction: "This goose meat is really fragrant, it suits my taste, I will pack it up when I can't finish eating, I can make a supper and eat another meal tonight." ”
"Xiangping City is still more than 700 kilometers away from us! If you can't get home for three days and three nights by car, it's good to have a special helicopter, and the journey of hundreds of kilometers will take three or four hours. General Chen looked at Chinook who was refueling outside the window with some envy, don't look at him as the commander of a large military region, but the service car is only a 212 jeep.
The army is very short of money this year, even Santana can't afford it, unlike the Audi A8, Q7, Volkswagen Touareg, etc., which are all high-level military leaders in later generations, although the military purchases cars are tax-free, and there is no 4S store pumping, the price is a lot cheaper, but it is still a very luxurious behavior.
"If General Chen likes helicopters, how about I give you one when I catch up with Ming'er? Chinook may not be able to afford it, but a regular military helicopter is still fine. Chen Xu looked at his Chinook, the long fuselage, the front and rear two hanging propellers, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and he thought about turning around to re-paint it, making a handsome modification, looking more powerful.
"5 billion military spending has to be used on the blade, buy the most advanced and best weapons and equipment, buy helicopters for us old things, how much money does this have to be wasted, you must not do this kind of thing!" The old general's face changed instantly, and he reminded Chen Xu not to spend military funds indiscriminately.
"Don't worry! There will be no shortage of weapons that should be bought for 5 billion military spending. These helicopters are all given away for free, and spending money is not a good thing. Say what model the old general likes, and I promise to give you a brand new unopened helicopter. Chen Xu took a sip of wine and shook his head and said.
General Chen Kewu's rough big hands rubbed his gray hair, and he was puzzled: "This helicopter is not cheap, will people give it to you for nothing?" This loss-making business is too mysterious, I don't believe it. ”
"The reason why the high-level officials of the imperial capital handed over such a large amount of military expenses to me is because I have this ability. Do you want a helicopter or not? If you don't, forget it. Chen Xu asked confidently.
"Yes! Why don't you want it, of course I'm happy to accept it. No matter what the model, as long as it's a helicopter, I like it 100%. "General Chen Kewu is very open-minded, these old revolutionaries are like this, they take what is good, and they are never picky.
"Then it's decided, you just wait, at most three or five months, at least one or two months, to ensure that the helicopter is sent to this airport." Chen Xu took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth clean, stood up and made a gesture to leave.
"Huh...... Why are you going? The old general looked up at Chen Xu, who was burping, and said strangely.
"The helicopter has been refueled, the food has been eaten, and I have to rush home, if it gets dark, it won't be easy to fly." Chen Xu blinked his eyes and pouted at the noon sun outside.
"That's it! Is my meal so easy to eat? General Chen Kewu had a smile on his face and looked at Chen Xu very interestingly.
"I promised to send you a helicopter, and it is a military model, I'm afraid there aren't many such planes in your Huguang Military Region, right? Isn't it worth a meal? Chen Xu swallowed his saliva, he felt that he might not be able to be confused.
"It's really profitable to change a helicopter for a meal, but I didn't invite you to eat this time for this matter, you kid wants to get out of this little profit, I'm afraid it's not so easy." The old general ate the dishes indifferently, not worried that Chen Xu would run away.
"Now that the words have been spoken, I will not fight the situation, and I just learned about the $5 billion military purchase from the old general's mouth, and I believe there will be no fake. Since this matter has fallen on my head, then I will be responsible for it to the end, and the old general wants to pressure me to seek more equipment for the Huguang Military Region, which is completely impossible! Don't say it's you, it's useless for the old chief to come in person! Chen Xu lost his hippie smile, and his face became grim.
Although there is no donkey in the zodiac, Chen Xu is just a donkey, the kind of person who leads and goes backwards. If you want to cooperate, you have to follow the hair to make him comfortable, playing this kind of psychological tactics, and putting pressure on him is useless.
"I can't see that it's quite prickly, you mean that no matter how much I persuade you, you won't give any preferential treatment to the Huguang Military Region on the issue of arms procurement?" General Chen hadn't seen any scenes, but he didn't expect Chen Xu to be such a fierce person, and his temper came up without saying a word.
"Not only your Huguang Military Region, but also other military regions will treat people sent over equally, I will refer to the equipment level of the entire army in active service, and then purchase the most advanced equipment for you on this basis, as for how to buy it, it is all my business, no one wants to interfere."
Chen Xu stretched out a finger and pointed to the ground, and said sonorously: "I said ugly things ahead, if any military region dares to play tricks and stumble on military procurement again and again, I promise that it will not be able to divide a single bullet!" ”
"Since you are so impartial, then I have nothing to say, if you can really treat everyone equally, then my Huguang Military Region will never interfere in this military purchase. I'm just afraid that it's not fair, and the amount of things we get is less! General Chen Kewu is reasonable, he knows that Chen Xu is a talent that the old chief vigorously protects and respects, and the old chief on the phone praises Chen Xu, and there is the escort of the older generation, this person is very likely to become the next generation of leaders in the future.
"Please rest assured General Chen, the Huguang Military Region is the southern gate of our country, according to the priority, you will pick the best equipment first, and you will never be disappointed when the equipment is in place." Chen Xu saw that the old general was so good at talking, and immediately made a guarantee.
"Then I'll wait for your good news, don't be in a hurry to leave, I haven't eaten much of the dishes on this table, if you like it, pack them all away, didn't you say you want to take it back for supper!" The old general beckoned, signaling Chen Xu not to waste the good dishes on this table, this was specially ordered from the restaurant to entertain Chen Xu, even the old general did not eat it often.
"Then dare to be kind, give me a few packed lunch boxes, and I'll pack them." Chen Xu rubbed his hands and walked over, saying that the dishes on this table are really delicious, and it is not too good to take them back to make supper.
"How can there be so much exquisiteness, let's use this!" The old general took out a brand new plastic bag from under the dining table and motioned to use it to go.
Chen Xu thought that he would really not be able to find a plastic lunch box at this airport for a while, and even if he did, it was not necessarily more hygienic than this plastic bag, so he unceremoniously used a plastic bag to classify the dishes on the table, and finally used two large plastic bags to sum it up, one left and one right in his hand.
The old general personally sent Chen Xu on the plane, looked at Chen Xu's back, and waved goodbye: "I'm waiting for your good news." ”
Chen Xu turned around, nodded and said, "Don't worry, you just wait to see the surprise!" Don't stand in this airport for a long time on this hot day, it's easy to get heat stroke. ”
With that, the cabin door closed, and under the gaze of everyone, Chinook took off with a roar and disappeared into the northern sky.
