Chapter Eighty-Nine: Huge Loans

Before returning to the conference room, Chen Xu glanced at the Alpha-class nuclear submarine standing quietly in the distance, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I thought I could use you to trick the Americans, but now it seems that this time the Americans are superior in chess, and they have calculated us in turn." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info U.S. imperialism has pushed us to the forefront of the international political situation, facing the threat of force from the Red Empire, and praying that the Soviet Union will collapse in ten years, as in history! ”

The reason why the Americans want to fully arm the Chinese navy and air force is because the Soviet Union is now at its peak, intending to take Afghanistan, control this strategic hub in Central Asia, and gain access to the Indian Ocean south. After that, Pakistan and Iran will be at their fingertips, India will also be subjugated, and the Middle East will be included in the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union.

If this strategy of the Soviet Union is realized, it will probably not be the Soviet Union that will collapse in ten years, but the US imperialism and Europe!

The Western world was very panicked, and in order to interrupt the global strategy of the Soviet Union, arming China, the largest centrist on the blue star, became the only option.

Chen Xu's biggest fear now is that his existence has changed history, if the Soviet Union is still standing ten years later. By accepting the modern armed forces of US imperialism, China is tantamount to putting itself at the forefront of the fight against the Soviet Union and acting as a shield for US imperialism.

If this is the case, then China will really lose a lot, and the confrontation with the Soviet Union will drag down China's economy, and with the great empire of the Soviet Union sleeping soundly on the side of the couch, China will not want to obtain a stable development environment.

The international pattern of this era is that the United States and the Soviet Union are tied for the two powers, and Europe is the third.

China is the weakest of the impermanence, and it only watches the fire from the other side of the strait and watches the United States and the Soviet Union compete for hegemony coldly, and does not participate in the international situation. After waiting for the victory of one side, he took advantage of the great changes in the international situation to take advantage of the situation.

It would be very unwise to get involved in the struggle for hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union at this time.

The reason why Chen Xu dared to accept the arms of the US imperialists was that he knew that the Soviet Union only had ten years of national fortune. As soon as the Soviet Union collapsed, China would have earned countless advanced weapons and equipment from the United States in vain, and in the end, it would be able to use these weapons to slap Asian countries and seize control of Asia.

Chen Xu didn't know what the decision-makers in the imperial capital thought of this issue, if Mr. Deng had already understood that the Soviet Union was at the end of the crossbow and was not far from the day of destruction, so he was relieved to boldly let Chen Xu use the Alpha submarine to negotiate with the Americans. In the face of this kind of demon-level international strategy master, Chen Xu could only roll his eyes and say that he didn't want to talk to him at all, because communicating with people with too high intelligence often made him look stupid!

Returning to the negotiation table, the elder Bush watched Chen Xu sit down again with a radiant look, and took the lead in asking: "How is the discussion?" ”

"Our side is very satisfied with the number and performance of the AWACS aircraft, and our air force will give full play to the power of this electronic warfare aircraft and find out all the secrets of the Soviets." Chen Xu gave a formulaic smile, first affirming China's agreement to accept the AWACS.

"This is very good, our side will send early warning aircraft and the first batch of F15 fighters to China together, you can rest assured that they are all active aircraft drawn from our air force, with excellent performance and no flaws." The elder Bush made an OK gesture, and it was difficult to hide the pride in his heart.

Of course, it is impossible for Chen Xu to expose the conspiracy behind the early warning plane in front of Bush Sr., and if he says it directly, both sides will be embarrassed, so it is better to find a reason at will to cover up the matter.

The old chief next to him saw Chen Xu lying so seriously, and couldn't help but sigh secretly that this son was really a diplomatic wizard, and he didn't blink an eye when he deceived people on such occasions. Thousands of troops are easy to get and hard to find, so we must train him well.

Bush Sr. secretly rejoiced, in fact, he knew very well that the Chinese had just gone out to discuss, and he must have guessed that there were backdoors in the electronic systems of AWACS, but he was not worried at all that the Chinese would delete these backdoors. Because the electronic systems of these AWACS aircraft have endless backdoors, if the Chinese think that they can delete it, it is a big mistake!

Both sides did not break it, and the atmosphere in the conference room was harmonious and happy.

After solving the problem of early warning aircraft, the elder Bush made it very clear that he would never provide any weapons and equipment to China for free, and if he still wanted it, he would have to pay real money to buy it.

Chen Xu led the negotiations to the last topic, the issue of the $20 billion U.S. loan to the Chinese nation.

"I just said that China needs $20 billion in interest-free loans, I wonder if the US side thinks there is anything wrong with this amount?" Chen Xu asked.

Bush Sr. shook his head and said lightly: "There is no problem, on the contrary, I think you are too cautious, 20 billion dollars can't do much, I think you can be more bold to borrow more money from American banks, so that you will not be too constrained to buy things." ”

Hearing this, Chen Xu just shook his head, the purpose of the US imperialists to lend overproduction to China is too strong.

The U.S. lends money to China, and then China places orders to buy products from U.S. companies, and the money flows back to the U.S. Businesses in the U.S. have been given orders back to life. In other words, the U.S. government doesn't spend a penny, and let China spend money to save a large number of American companies and solve the serious problem of unemployment.

It is no wonder that Bush Sr. asked Chen Xu to borrow more money, because the wool comes from the sheep, and the more China borrows, the more it will have to pay back a lot of money in the future.

"If you don't have to pay it back, it's okay to borrow $100 billion!" Chen Xu didn't want the country to bear such a heavy debt, so he jokingly refused.

"You're really good at kidding, so why don't you do it! We offer $30 billion in interest-free loans, with $1 billion a year for the first five years, $2 billion a year for the next two years, and no interest on it. "George H.W. Bush came up with a repayment plan that seemed easy to accept.

"It's a bit of a lot of pressure to repay the money in this way, why don't you pay back $500 million a year for the first ten years, and $2 billion a year after that?" Chen Xu narrowed his eyes and said.

"This plan is also available! However, the $30 billion is limited to the purchase of products in the United States and cannot be used in third countries! "Bush Sr. finally showed his fox tail at this time.

"This is inevitable, I guarantee that China will spend a lot of this $30 billion in the United States!" Chen Xu assured with certainty.

In fact, Chen Xu's repayment plan, when the international situation was in turmoil at the end of the 80s, he could use the complex and changeable foreign exchange market to hedge the remaining loans. That is to say, if the remaining loans are relied on through financial means, Chen Xu only needs to repay the loan of 500 million US dollars per year for the first ten years.

"That's right! Here I would like to add a supplementary clause in the hope that the US side will agree. Chen Xu calculated the repayment method of this money in his notebook, and suddenly raised his head and said solemnly after finishing his work.

Bush Sr. succeeded in issuing a huge loan to China, and when he was in a good mood, he smiled and asked, "What are the terms?" Even if I ask, I can say yes to anything that I think is reasonable. ”

In 1972 NASA and the U.S. Army embarked on a program to develop a tiltrotor helicopter, and in 1973 Bell Helicopter was awarded a contract to develop it, and two years earlier, in 1977, the first prototype had been built. I am very interested in this type of helicopter and hope to introduce all the technology and manufacture it in China. At the same time, China lacks helicopter production technology, especially military helicopters, and hopes to introduce a helicopter production line at the same time to produce dual-use helicopters for China. Chen Xu said calmly.

"What is a tiltrotor? Turner, you know! Bush Sr. frowned and asked the director of the CIA next to him.

Chen Xu is talking about the V-22 Osprey tiltrotor in later generations, but this was not until 1989 to complete the first flight of the prototype, and now the Bell aircraft test flight is only a verification machine, testing the reliability of the rotating wing, and it is not very famous, so even Bush Sr. does not know that there is such a thing.

"I've heard about this brother's plan, and now I've only built a half-finished verification machine, and there are still a lot of experiments in technology." Director Turner shook his head, saying he didn't know much about the plane. ”

"It's no problem to give China a helicopter production line, but I don't know what you said about the tiltrotor, but your requirements should be met, and when I return to China, I will ask the army, if the Bell company does have a development plan for this kind of aircraft, we can give China a copy of all the technology." Bush Sr. said lightly, as if he had sent out just a toy production line.

Chen Xu likes the V-22 Osprey tiltrotor very much, and in his previous life, he also went to Bell to steal the finished design data of the V-22 Osprey, but unfortunately he hung up before he returned to China, and this technology was left in his mind.

In this life, Chen Xu wants to take out this black technology aircraft and manufacture it himself, as the main transport aircraft of our army. However, with the current manufacturing capacity in China, it is a dream to produce technologically advanced ospreys, so Chen Xu proposed to Bush Sr. to introduce the early design data of the osprey, and based on these data, Chen Xu only needs to modify and upgrade, and the complete osprey can be launched.

Of course, only design data is not enough, so Chen Xu also needs to introduce a helicopter production line to prepare for the production of Osprey. In the production process of Osprey, there will be a lot of parts that need to be imported, but this is not a problem, with the current relationship between China and the United States, when the time comes, he can cooperate with Bell and let Bell provide parts, Chen Xu only needs to ensure that they are assembled and produced in China, and the parts will be slowly localized in the future.

At this time, the old chief put his head together and asked in a low voice:

"Did you bring in that tiltrotor for any purpose? There's something special about that plane that you need to ask Bush Sr. for it. ”

"Report to the chief, for no purpose, purely because I particularly like that kind of plane. That helicopter production line is also what I want for my own military factory, and I want to enter the helicopter manufacturing industry. Chen Xu lowered his voice and replied.

"You kid is here again," the old chief almost fell to the ground.

At this point, the negotiation has basically ended, and the next thing is for the old chief to send the content of the negotiation to the imperial capital, and hand it over to the decision-makers of the imperial capital for review and weighing. The elder Bush also had to send the contents of the talks back home in a timely manner for the president to see, and the negotiations could only be considered successful after the top leaders of both sides nodded and agreed and signed the written documents.

As for how to use the 30 billion US dollars, it is up to the leaders of the imperial capital to figure it out themselves, it is nothing more than going to the United States to spend on large-scale purchases, such as buying factories and technology, etc., this money is a big amount today in this era, enough for the government to do a lot of things.
