Chapter 538: It's here after all
"Whew...... Whew......"
Ryan, the angry president of Northrop, was only angry, and the bits and pieces in the office indicated that there had just been a stormy smashing here, and the scattered documents had already been stepped on and deformed, and the broken coffee cups were still dangling among the coffee stains on the ground.
And the secretary outside the door is also afraid to come out, since the president received that call, everything has changed, and the reason for this may be because of that phone call.
As for what was said inside, no one knew anything but the one inside.
shook his mushy head again, and ripped off his tie without caring about the image, and gave it to the old man.
Why didn't you feel that this tie was so uncomfortable before? It feels ...... It feels like a tightening noose.
After removing the restraints, I felt very relaxed, and after sitting on the sofa, I calmed down.
"Come on, come in and clean up the office!"
After that, the secretary outside the door crept into the room, and after carefully observing Ryan's expression, he breathed a sigh of relief.
As for the mess in the office, it's a trivial matter, walk over quickly, and pack up the more important items that can be salvaged, and that's the initial finish.
"Alright, you clean up here, I'm going to go out for a while, and I'll be back later."
Some felt heavy and helpless to stand up, picked up the tie on the table and wanted to put it on, but then smiled helplessly, is there still such a need at this time?
That's it. Under the surprised gaze of the other staff, he paced to the side step by step. He needs to be quiet now.
In the past, at such a time, it was necessary to light a cigarette to guide the country. But now there is no such good mood, as the phone calls from the US Department of Defense and the White House all indicate.
All the efforts of Northrop in the past few years have been in vain, when the good impression established by giving up the F20 to fully support the J-74, as well as the twists and turns in the JF17 project, finally achieved positive results, and cooperated with Southwest Science and Industry to get the J-18 development project of the Republic of China.
But it was at this time, at this critical moment that the detailed design of the J-18 had just begun, that pressure from the national level arrived.
Now when I think of the tone of the person in charge of the White House, I still remember it vividly.
"Immediately cease all official and private military cooperation projects between you and the Huaxia Republic. Stop providing any technology, finished products that might help them. ”
There are very few words from the White House, just a few words, but sometimes one sentence is the most dangerous and terrible, and the news revealed between the lines means that something big is definitely going on in between.
However, the US Department of Defense Office made the situation clearer later, which gave Ryan a deep sense of powerlessness.
As a veteran driver who is well versed in the current state of American politics, Ryan knows the general social and political situation in the United States.
First of all, as the boss of the NATO bloc, he has always worked tirelessly to carry the banner of freedom. At the same time, it is even more urgent to win over the Huaxia Republic, a quasi-NATO country.
But in the past few years, although it can't be said that the attitude towards Huaxia has changed much, at least it is not as optimistic as before.
So. Now the incident that happened in the imperial capital of China on the other side of the world has exploded on the side of the United States.
The sanctions are a foregone conclusion, meaning that all of Northrop's previous investments have gone down the drain. Of course, there are other U.S. arms companies that have also lost their weight, but Northrop is probably the one who suffered the heaviest losses.
Now Northrop can have his own voice in politics as a big arms dealer. But for such a pagan as the Republic, which is different from the universal values of the West, the current sanctions are absolutely impossible to ease.
Other words. Faced with the current situation, Ryan can't think of any way to solve the trouble, it can only be.
"Hello, it's General Manager Yang of Southwest Science and Industry! I'm Ryan, the president of Northrop, and I'm announcing something bad news that neither of us wants to hear. ”
Ryan, who had temporarily sorted out his mood, immediately contacted the Southwest Science and Industry side, and the reaction speed could be regarded as quite fast.
On the other side, Yang Hui finally received the first call from abroad, and he didn't even need to guess what to say about this call.
Looking at the time on the desk calendar, it is already mid-June, and the reaction of the US imperialists is not as fast as they thought!
After some helplessly ridiculed the speed of the US imperialists, they responded to Ryan's words seriously, and the rhetoric has actually been there for a long time.
Or take the lead: "Okay, you don't have to say anything now, I probably know what you're going to say this time, now listen to me first." First of all, I personally regret this incident in our imperial capital, but I will not say anything about it, so, you know, ......"
Regarding this classic opening sentence, Yang Hui said that I have long remembered that the melon is ripe, which is an almighty statement.
I regret this, but I don't do any perversion.
This statement is simply bad in later republics, but it is very effective, otherwise it would not have been used for many years.
Listening to what Yang Hui said on the other side of the phone, Ryan also didn't know how to take it, to say that this kind of thing actually didn't want to happen on both sides, but after it happened, Yang Hui's action just now was understandable.
But at this time, Northrop's side was different, what they wanted to hear was not what Yang Hui said to express regret, and this could not make up for any Northrop's losses.
Like a crazed gambler who, after squeezing all his chips, was eventually overturned by his opponent, Ryan roared into the phone.
"No, I don't want you to express any regrets, as a partner, now you must take positive and beneficial actions to save our joint project, this is the attitude you should have!"
With the splash of saliva and saliva, Ryan's anger was already "full", but Yang Hui shook his head with disdain, feeling that the volume was indeed a little too high, and hurriedly put the phone lightly on the table, this guy's voice could catch up with the speaker.
waited until the other side had finished speaking, and the voice gradually became quieter, and then he took the phone again.
After coughing twice, I felt a little sorry, now this matter is a lot of benefits for Southwest Science and Industry, and Yang Hui is also willing to lower his attitude.
"Now things are like this, and as the general manager of a state-owned company, it is absolutely impossible for me to participate in such a political event at such a time."
After a few words, Yang Hui easily picked himself out, and at this time, Yang Hui didn't dare to do anything without his own strength.
But after saying that, I felt that this was not enough, and that some more explicit statements were needed.
"So, I can only regret what you said, but I can't act on it, the only thing we can do now is wait, maybe there is a final turn for the better!"
The words were finally said here, and Ryan completely gave up the last bit of effort after listening to it, even though he knew that this would be the end before that.
"In this way, we can only express our great regret, and now Northrop officially announces: cancel all military-related cooperation projects in the territory of the Chinese People's Republic, and withdraw all technical personnel and all technical data and equipment belonging to Northrop Company!"
