After listening to this, I frowned and said: "In other words, this small African country G introduced aviation technology to the West and then sold it to us, right?" I shook my head, "That's too obvious, isn't it?" ”

Ren Lei was silent, but there was a smile in his eyes: "Chen, many things in politics are not so simple...... Do you know which country is leading the so-called technological barriers in Western countries? ”

"United States." I still know this.

"Then I can tell you that this time our roundabout purchase of technology, the Americans are very clear! Because the people who sold these six technologies to country G were the Americans. ”

I was stunned.

"Let's put it this way...... Chen yang. Ren Lei took another puff of cigarette, remained silent, and asked me slowly: "First of all, let me ask you, you just saw the information of country G, a country with a land area only the size of one of our provinces, a backward small African country, a small African country with a population of several million, and a GDP that is even inferior to the wealth of a middle-class family in the United States...... And those six aviation technologies, although not very top-notch, are also the high-end technologies we need at the moment. He spread his hands and made an analogy: "One is a small African country with a lot of impoverished coups, and the other is high-end technology for aviation." If a small African country wants such technology, can it be useful on its own? Do you expect country G to build its own planes? Their army is still using guns that have been eliminated by other countries! They don't even have their own factories for the production of cars, let alone building their own airplanes! Even idiots know that these six technologies are useless for country G itself. They want these six technologies. There is only one possibility, which is to resell it to other countries. ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at me: "You understand this truth, and I understand it." Americans are not idiots, don't they understand? And the CIA has a lot of influence in Africa, and we operate, they know for sure. But it was a secret that everyone knew, and they acquiesced. ”

"Technical barriers have existed for more than half a century. Think about how much the world pattern has changed in the past half century, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the end of the Cold War, and the creation of the European Union...... A technical barrier erected in the old times, outdated, and the Americans themselves know it. But here's the problem...... The existence of this technical barrier has a special historical background, and it will take a long time to slowly dismantle this barrier. Americans can't do this with much fanfare. And to tell the truth, a lot of technology, even if the Americans don't sell it, we have other channels to get it, the EU is already engaged in economic confrontation with the United States, and there are countries in Europe that are willing to cooperate with us. Such a situation. A technical barrier, which has become a deaf mortal ear, is just an ornament. Privately, we're bringing in all kinds of technologies that we need in many, many ways...... And what we're doing now is just one of them. Moreover, the Americans have one more cunning point...... The reason why they are slow to propose the removal of technical barriers is to make money! Because of technical barriers, it is impossible for other countries to openly transfer technology to us. And the Americans are the leaders of this barrier, they can take this thing as a shackle on our heads and blackmail it at any time. Moreover, because of technical barriers, in the agreement countries, others do not sell technology, but this American, who is the boss, secretly sells technology himself, which is making money! ”

I understand that setting a rule of the game and not letting others do business is doing it myself secretly. Sure enough, cunning!

"There are many, many reasons...... Once anything has to do with politics, it's not that simple. Ren Lei said slowly: "These six technologies." The Americans are well aware that we actually bought it in the name of country G, and they have acquiesced in this. As long as we make the surface clean, the surface work is done well. Who wouldn't do it? Nominally, we didn't break the technical barriers, and that's it. In fact, everyone knows it. ”

"What about me? What is the meaning of my existence? I frowned.

"You're a Canadian investor." Ren Lei smiled slyly: "Whatever you do in Africa, it has nothing to do with us...... At least nominally, it has nothing to do with us. You can't do without this...... Because country G cannot transfer technology to us in the name of the state. These would be clearly spelled out in the technology transfer clause. The United States sells technology to country G, but country G cannot sell to us...... At the national level, technology must not be transferred. But...... Civilian companies can! In other words, we can't buy six technologies directly from country G, but we can buy them from the soon-to-be-established 'East African United Airlines'. It's just a pretense that everyone knows about it. Although everyone knows this, we still need to use this pretext, because the Americans are now acquiescing, and God knows if they will use this incident as news with international impact in the future, or sue us at the meeting of the countries that have agreed on technical barriers, saying that we have illegally acquired technology...... So it's all about exploiting the loopholes of the treaty. But at least we didn't explicitly violate the relevant terms. Even if the Americans make a fuss about this matter afterwards, they will not be able to find fault with it. So, this guise of yours is also a must. ”

The violent turbulence of the air flowed, and the fuselage of the plane seemed to shake to the point of falling apart. I don't know how many years old this old Soviet "Young Fox" military transport plane is, and the fuselage is so broken that it reminds me of the trash cans in those small alleys in Vancouver, and the roar of the propeller makes me have a headache.

The leather surface of the seat of the plane was already in tatters, and the sea surface inside was exposed...... Hell, I even felt the tin rattle in the plane when the air was strong!

"If Lao Tzu can land safely, he will never come to Africa again in his life to take this kind of plane!" I sat in my seat and sighed.

Qiaoqiao next to her looked calm, and she even brought an mp4 to listen to music.

In addition to the members of the flight team, there were two black men on the plane, who looked like Biao Han, their trousers showed the handle of the dagger, but there was a hint of yīnyīn in their eyes.

We took off from Cairo Airport in the evening, and then transferred to a small country in East Africa, and then to the capital airport of that small country, and waited for a night before finally waiting for the "special plane" sent by General General Trapped Tower of Country G to pick us up!! [Heaven's Kiss Hand-hitting]

The two black soldiers didn't know whether to protect us or spy on us, but I always felt that there was something bad in their eyes, and they kept whispering something in the local language.

And their gaze was very unfriendly, the hammer next to me felt this unfriendly gaze, and couldn't help but stare back, and the other party raised his chin without showing weakness, and his eyes were full of provocation.

However, they remained in good order and sat still.

It was only afterwards that I heard that this poor country not only did not have its own air force, but even a pitiful few military aircraft. And the Soviet Fox military transport plane we flew in from the fifties and sixties was already their presidential plane.

It seems that the president of this small African country, Mr. Sleepy Tower, is not doing well, I snickered maliciously in my heart.

Towards noon, the plane began to land obviously, the fuselage shook more violently, I could even clearly feel the fuselage swaying from side to side, I looked out the window, the plane flew through a jungle, and then landed in an open space that can barely be called an "airport"!

This so-called airport has only a very dilapidated runway, a tall tower, and a rotten warehouse underneath, and nothing else.

I was relieved when the plane finally landed on the ground.

Under the fierce shock, the airport ran to raise a large area of yellow dust, which is enough to show how "smooth" this runway is!

The two black soldiers pushed the door of the cabin a few times but did not push it open, so they simply kicked it twice with their feet, and then lowered the ladder and let us go down.

I stepped down the ladder, fanned the dust in front of me vigorously, and looked around......

This airfield was apparently opened in a jungle. Surrounded by jungle and mountains, the air smells of some kind of wild animal droppings. As soon as I stepped on the ground, I was surrounded by several black soldiers who were waiting around. They were armed with automatic rifles and wore green uniforms, but they were all sloppy, and their black skin was oily and shiny in the sun.

A burly black man in a beret hat walked up to me, he looked at me several times with a fierce face, and then asked in French, "Mr. Chen?" ”

Jojo translated it to me, and I nodded.

"Come with us." He didn't taste polite at all, just waved his hand, and then a large group of black soldiers surrounded me and my people around half-protected and half-watched and walked to the edge of the airport, where a few cars were parked, all of which were so dilapidated that one wondered if they had been picked up from an abandoned factory. And in the jeep at the head, there was a machine gun, and the yellow bullet chain below was lazily spread on the shelf. Jojo and I sat in the first car with the hammer, and the big black man in the beret sat right next to us, and I saw a machete at his waist, red and black on it, obviously the blood rust left over the years!
