In fact, from the perspective of the overall situation, Fan Wuxian never felt that the bombing of the embassy was harmful.

In addition to ignoring the losses, the bombing of the embassy objectively gave China an opportunity to think deeply and change. On the one hand, the people realize that economic construction is the basis for enhancing the overall national strength, and on the other hand, they also firmly believe that only a strong military force and an advanced national defense industrial system can fundamentally protect and defend the achievements of economic construction.

Since then, a large number of low-efficiency, high-energy military enterprises have been eliminated through policy bankruptcy, and the remaining enterprises have also strengthened their technical strength and operational capabilities through technological transformation and policy-based investment in safety transformation, giving full play to the overall advantages of military-civilian integration, and creating a number of brands with vitality.

Lao Tzu said, woe and blessing rely on, blessing and misfortune lurk, from the simple dialectic and contradictory thinking, there are countless examples of bad things turning into good things, of course, things are man-made, if the ruler does not have a clear mind, bad things will still become worse and out of control.

Lockheed. As the largest defense contractor in the United States, Martin occupies one-third of the orders of the US Department of Defense and controls 40 percent of the world's arms market.

The company's well-known products include F-16 fighters, F-117 stealth fighters, fourth-generation fighters F-22, special mission reconnaissance aircraft and transport aircraft, submarine-launched missiles, theater missile defense systems, etc., and the latest largest order that is now in operation is the fourth-generation fighter F-35 of the US Air Force.

The Lockheed Brothers opened in 1913. The company designed and produced seaplanes, and the first successful was the P-38 "Lightning" fighter launched in 1938, which became famous in response to the advanced "Zero" fighter of the Japanese army at that time. It was the first military aircraft developed by Lockheed Aircraft. Johnson presided over the design. In 1936, the U.S. military announced the design requirements for a twin-engine interceptor, and the following year the army adopted the design of Lockheed.

At that time the P-38 was widely used in the Pacific War. The field has excellent characteristics that make the Japanese army fearful: high speed, heavy armor, and powerful firepower, and many ace pilots of the US military are proud to fly this aircraft. The most famous achievement was the shooting down of the plane of Admiral Yamamoto, commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, over Bougainville Island, killing him instantly. The Japanese pilots hated and feared the P-38 and called it a twin demon.

After World War II, Lockheed opened up the reconnaissance aircraft market. In the past five years, the U-2 high-altitude spy reconnaissance plane, the C-5 series "Galaxy" series of large US military transport planes, and the "Polaris" submarine missile have been developed.

Martin, a pioneer in aviation, was founded in 1909. The company specialized in the development of medium-sized aircraft, and Martin produced the first bomber in the United States, which quickly became a major supplier to the U.S. military. During World War II, the B-26 bomber developed by it became famous. After World War II, the Martin Company developed intercontinental missiles and space launch devices, and the "Magellan" spacecraft produced by it went into space, becoming a long-term contractor of NASA, and making key contributions to the exploration flights of the United States to explore planets.

In 1995, Lockheed and Martin merged. Called Luo. Ma Company, which also acquired the aircraft engine company of General Motors of the United States, has become the world's largest aerospace and fighter aircraft manufacturer, and its business is concentrated in four core areas: aerospace, aviation, system integration, and technical services.

Nowadays the company is employed. With more than 190,000 employees, it ranks 69th among the top 500 industrial companies in the United States by Fortune magazine.

Despite the current tensions between China and the United States, Lockheed. The senior management of Martin Company still attached great importance to Fan Wuxi's visit, so they specially sent the company's executive vice president and financial officer, Macons Bennett, to receive him.

Bennett is also a relatively talented person, and the merger of Lockheed and Martin is from his hand, and he has also considered working with Northrop. Grumman was forced to abandon the merger due to strong opposition from the Justice Department, and if the merger went through, the company would have a quarter of the U.S. Department of Defense's funding.

As an arms dealer, it is very important to understand potential customers and their needs, for an important person like Fan Wuxi, the company's intelligence department has a very detailed research report, so after receiving the request for Fan Wuxian to visit the company in advance, Bennett quickly made a full understanding of Fan Wuxi's situation.

For Fan Wu's financial situation, Bennett is very hot-eyed, but unfortunately he is now in Chinese mainland, his orders obviously cannot be sold there, ordinary equipment mainland side will not want, and some cutting-edge, the Ministry of Defense is definitely not allowed to export, it is a pity.

Despite this, Bennett is still very attentive to Fan Wuxi's reception, because he also knows that Fan Wuxi's influence in Indonesia is expanding rapidly, maybe when the Indonesian government eases up, he can place some orders for himself? Some relationships must be laid at the beginning, especially Fan Wuxi, a big man who basically controls the financial power of the Indonesian government, and it is even more necessary to communicate well.

"If Mr. Fan needs some private arms, we can provide them." In line with the principle that no matter how small a mosquito is, it is also meat, Bennett said to Fan Wuxi.

"It's not impossible to think about it, but you have to say hello to the Australian and Indonesian governments first." Fan Wuxi smiled slightly.

Bennett's proposal is worth considering, after all, there are a lot of industries on the private islands he bought in Lombok, Indonesia and Australia, and it is also necessary for the owner of the island to have a certain amount of private armament.

Fan Wuxian said that he was more interested in Lockheed Martin's skunk factory and wanted to visit it.

Bennett hesitated for a moment, but thought that Fan Wuxian was not a professional, and it was okay to take a look at it casually, so he nodded and agreed.

However, before they set off for the Skunk Works, Maximos, Fan's old friend, suddenly arrived and warmly welcomed Fan's visit.

"Could it be that you're joining Lockheed Martin again?" Fan Wuxian is a little incomprehensible about the frequent job changes of this old Jewish man, although the professional outlook of foreigners is not the same as that of Chinese, but Maximus is so old, what is the toss?

The old Jewish man, however, was getting older and stronger, patted Fan Wuxian on the shoulder, and said very affectionately, "The joy of work is to constantly challenge yourself, and I am now the senior vice president of Lockheed Martin." ”

"How many senior vice presidents do you have?" Fan Wuxian asked suspiciously.

"There are always dozens of people, right?" The old man replied with a haha.

After all, it is a large company with more than 190,000 employees, and it is understandable that there are dozens of senior vice presidents.

As soon as Maximus came, the atmosphere was immediately different, after all, the old man and Fan Wuxian partnered to do business, and they were in a hot fight, plus the two of them had bought satellites together before, and Maximus was also the manager who sold high-tech products that Fan Wuxi first came into contact with, so he was naturally quite familiar.

Therefore, Bennett also said that everyone can have a meal together, and then go to the Skunk Factory to visit, so that Fan Wuxian has more confidence in his company, after all, Bennett still hopes that his company can sell something to Fan Wuxian.

In Bennett's eyes, Fan Wuxian is also equivalent to a big fat sheep, this kind of fat sheep does not pluck a handful of hair, it is not his Bennett's style, if he was not very sure before, the appearance of Maximus at this time has added a lot of confidence to him.

"I have to let Fan Wuxian buy something to go back." Bennett was already thinking about what he should sell to Fan Wuxi.

Among the four US companies that are most enthusiastic about arms sales to Taiwan, Boeing provides Harpoon anti-ship missiles, Raytheon provides Patriot missiles, Lockheed Martin mainly provides F16 fighter jets, and the other United Technology Company provides Black Hawk helicopters.

For many military fans, when talking about these companies, they will always grit their teeth and want the government to sanction them, in fact, such an idea is a bit unrealistic.

The export direction of several major arms dealers in the United States may be Europe, the United States itself, the extremely unstable Arabian Peninsula or the militaristic Africa, but it has never been Chinese mainland.

Speaking of the bombing of the embassy this time, Fan Wuxian also clearly saw that the radical forces vigorously propagated nationalism, which caused the domestic people and public opinion to be overly optimistic, so that they did not know how many catties and taels they had.

After the bombing of the embassy, some public opinion in China clamored for war with the United States, but at this time, what strength can directly call out the United States? Or some people say that Americans are afraid of death and are paper tigers.

As a matter of fact, the last thing Americans are afraid of is war; since World War I, they have relied on the arms business to start their business, and what arms dealers look forward to every day is not world peace, but they hate to be in the midst of fire everywhere, and only by fighting a war can they have their market, profits, and the foundation of the Americans.

During the meal, the two sisters, Ding Bing and Ding Xue, whispered next to Fan Wuxi, "The plane that bombed the embassy was produced by their company?" ”

Fan Wuxian shook his head and said, "No, it's a B2 stealth bomber, developed by Northrop, two different things." ”

"Doesn't think we're supposed to work with them, right?" Ding Bing said to Fan Wuxi, "Watching CNN news in the past few days, it downplays the fact that they bombed the embassy, and it only blew up by mistake, which is very infuriating." ”

Fan Wuxian knew that the two sisters were indignant at the public opinion of the Americans, and then thought that they did not know the inside story of this, it was inevitable to be annoyed, but it was not surprising, so Fan Wuxian explained, "Some people say that CNN is a lackey of the US government, this statement is wrong, CNN is not a lackey of the US government, but a part of the US government, the United States has no propaganda department, and the big communication enterprises in the United States are the propaganda department of the United States, including CNN and Disney." ”

"No propaganda department?" The two sisters were incredulous, "So how do they work?" ”

In fact, many people do not understand the operating mechanism of the U.S. government, just as many people think that the Federal Reserve is the central bank of the United States, when in fact the Federal Reserve is just a private institution.

The U.S. government has never been a great ** government, as an agent of mega interest groups, to put it simply, the U.S. is more like a big company, these large interest groups are the board of directors, the president of the United States is the general manager, every four years, the board of directors will throw out a few people, let all employees vote to choose the general manager, this is the American **.

Since the United States is in charge of big business, many government units have omitted it, and the Propaganda Department is one of them, in fact, there are such successful Hollywood, Disney and CNN, where do you need the Propaganda Department?

There are no large-scale state-owned enterprises in the United States, such as the most important oil companies, power companies, etc., which are all private enterprises, and these industries that are closely related to people's livelihood are all controlled by private individuals. The United States also does not have a national defense science and technology unit, and all arms come from civilian sources, such as Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, General Motors, Boeing, Ford and other enterprises.

The interests of all these big businesses are the interests of the United States.

In this board of directors with intricate interests, the powerful people have their own heads, but there is only one of the most powerful, that is, the oil tycoon Rockefeller family, the Rockefeller family controls ExxonMobil and Chevron Oil Company, and later Secretary of State Rice was the executive director of Chevron Oil Company, while Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld was the chairman of the board of directors of the RAND think tank in the United States, and the backstage financier of the RAND think tank is Lockheed Martin, the largest arms dealer in the United States.

It has also been the practice of successive U.S. administrations, with the secretary of state mostly from oil companies and the secretary of defense from arms companies. In fact, the real U.S. government is not in Washington, but the headquarters of multinational corporations in New York, and the shadow State Department of the United States is the headquarters of the Rockefeller oil empire in New York.

"So, the bombing of the embassy should have been manipulated by Lockheed Martin behind the scenes? They're bold enough! After listening to Fan Wuxi's explanation, the two sisters said in surprise.

"The courage of an arms dealer is never the greatest, only greater!" Fan replied with a no-jaw of illness.

There are no pop-ups
