Chapter 923: The Key to Open the Arms Market
"It turns out that they are all their own people! I was really mistaken before! I hope you don't take it to heart, Mr. Ono. ”
Takashima Yoji squeezed out a rather ugly smile on his face and said, at this time, he didn't dare to put up a shelf in front of this Ono.
After all, these guys are not fuel-efficient lamps, these guys are all trained by the CIA in the United States, in terms of methods and ways of doing things, they are no worse than their predecessors decades ago, and today they have offended them all, so they must round things up, if they can't be rounded, then there will be no good fruit waiting for them.
The more Takashima Yoji thought about it, the more scared he became, although these guys with special high-tech were above the name of the Maritime Self-Defense Force, but in fact, they had nothing to do with the Maritime Self-Defense Force.
They were first born in the Investigation Department of the Prime Minister's Office, but later they felt that this name was not good, so in order to get more information, the Prime Minister's Office changed their name and put on the name of the Maritime Self-Defense Force Special High-tech Branch.
But in fact, this is just to bypass the law and give them more authority, and they do make full use of these resources and do a lot of things.
It's just that the things they do are never reported by the Maritime Self-Defense Force, but directly reported to the Prime Minister's Office.
Damn, why did you provoke them today?
At this time, Takashimayoji scolded 10,000 times in his heart, but on the face, he didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction.
But this Ono, on his side, didn't mean to give face at all: "My own people, who is your own person with you?" Our relationship is far away. ”
This guy was talking with a gun and a stick, and he really wanted to rush over and punch him in the face a few times, but now he only dared to think about it.
"Ono-kun, what is the origin of this Mr. Emerson?"
Takashima Yoji suppressed his anger and accompanied the smiling face to this little no, the purpose was nothing more than to find out the origin of this gringo and Emerson.
Although he has a bad temper, he is not a fool, and the key to his matter to this day is not actually Ono, but in this gringo, Emerson.
And before that, he always felt that this Emerson was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he always couldn't remember who this guy was, so at this time he couldn't help but spy on this Xiaoye.
Ono took a deep breath of cigarette, then glanced at it contemptuously, glanced at Takashima Yoji, and then snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, in the palm of his hand, and then said: "Okay, let you die today, didn't your Maritime Self-Defense Force make a plan to export the Soryu-class submarine some time ago?" ”
When Ono said this, he stopped talking, he knew that Takashima Yoji was a smart person, as long as he mentioned this, he was sure that he would be able to figure it out.
And when Takashimayoji heard this, he was also shocked, and he finally remembered where he had seen this Emerson before.
Grass, grass, grass, ah! This is Takashimayoji, the only thought in his mind at this time, if it weren't for Ono's presence, he really wanted to jump up and smash everything in this room.
What the hell is this?
It turned out to be this old guy! A few days ago, I was at the Yokosuka base, and I had a glimpse of him from afar, but I didn't take him seriously at that time, and soon I went out on patrol with the Yamaki, and when I came back, the old man had already left, so Takashimayoji had long forgotten about this Emerson.
It turns out that in recent years, especially after **** came to power and began to erect the banner of the extreme right, Japan's militarism began to quietly resurgent.
And the **** government, since it came to power, has been quietly pushing Japan from a pacifist country after World War II to a country with military normalization.
As early as after the end of World War II, Japan was forced by the United States to carry out democratic reforms, and later, in order to avoid becoming the target of crusade by other Asian countries, they simply began to pretend to be innocent, and even simply wrote no more war into the constitution, disguising themselves as a country like a permanently neutral country like Switzerland.
But in fact, they also know that as long as Russia and China are still there, the United States will not let them become truly neutral countries, so they are just borrowing their strength.
But in fact, in terms of laws, they still have some restrictions, such as the three principles of arms exports, the three principles of non-nuclear, and Article 9 of the pacifist constitution, as well as the use of the right of collective self-defense, and so on, which they have always abided by.
However, after the **** government came to power, because of Japan's domestic economic difficulties, the market of the traditional strong electronics industry was eroded by China and South Korea, so they had to change their strategy and plan to find another economic breakthrough.
Soon the **** think tank thought of such a promising industry as arms exports, you must know that Japan's high-precision machining industry is quite developed, and some people have made predictions that if Japan enters the weapons processing market, then it will not take many years, they will be able to become the biggest winner in this market.
And the reason why there is such a judgment is completely determined by the national nature of the Japanese, no matter what they do, they will be cost-effective and sophisticated, just like the cars they make.
The cost is not high, but it is also durable and reliable, which are the most important features of modern weapons.
And the person who made this prediction was entirely because he believed that the Japanese would be able to make weapons as cheap, durable, stable and reliable as the cars they exported.
And when the **** government has set its sights on such a big market as arms exports, it has been making the most active preparations to open this market.
First of all, not long after **** came to power, he amended the peace constitution and deleted Article 9 of the peace constitution, and this ninth article can be said that Japan will abandon the form of war drama to seek international power, and mainly use negotiation and consultation as a solution.
The deletion of such a law is equivalent to making the little Ding Ding who was originally wielded by the Japanese from the palace quietly grow again.
Later, the article on the use of the right of collective self-defense was adjusted, and then the Three Principles on Arms Exports were revised.
In fact, since the **** government began to revise the constitution, they have begun to export weapons overseas, that is, it will be natural.
And the first stop for them to export weapons is Australia, and recently, Australia is planning to purchase a few submarines to exchange blood for its navy.
Although Australia is an economic power, in fact, in terms of military affairs, it is the role of a follower of the United States, and they mainly rely on animal husbandry at home, have no industry, and cannot build advanced submarines themselves.
So as early as the last century, Australia has been in the habit of importing submarines from overseas.
In the late eighties of the last century, because of the needs of national defense, they planned to import several submarines from abroad, and after several rounds of competition, in the end only the products of the German Hovaz shipyard and the famous Swedish Kaukum shipyard were still competing.
In the end, the Australians also had a brain pump, and gave up the German goods in favor of the Swedish goods, which are said to be more high-quality.
The Swedes built six 3,000-ton Collins-class submarines for the Australians, which were commissioned between 1990 and 2003.
But after getting started, the Australians found out that they had been fooled, and the Swedes were bragging about it, and their submarines were so bad in technology.
First of all, in terms of craftsmanship, don't you Swedes claim to be more rigorous than the Germans?
But why can't even the tail of the propeller be sealed, so that there is often seawater backflow in the boat?
The engine design is advanced, but it turns out that it is cooled by seawater? But you're too bad at sealing, aren't you? Because the sealing is not in place, when the seawater backs up to cool the engine, it often leaks, and the fuel is mixed together, causing very serious corrosion damage to the engine.
The high silence that is said to be good is nonsense at all, and the noise of Australian submarines is louder than that of Chinese submarines that they look down on, and the periscope sealing is not in place, and water leakage is a common thing.
The most important thing is that your fire control system is still from Nima's 70s, which is not enough at all!
Since that failed purchase, the Australians have completely lost faith in the tall European goods, and after the Navy began bidding this time, their preferred target was Japanese goods.
After all, Japan's Soryu-class is known as the world's most advanced AIP submarine, and it has been galloping in the Pacific Ocean for many years, withstanding the test of time, and is a very mature advanced submarine.
And that Emerson is one of the important members of the Australian Navy's technical committee, and it is said that he will become the chairman of this technical committee in the future.
The purpose of his visit to Japan this time was very simple, that is, to inspect the current situation and performance of this Soryu-class submarine, and to write a technical report.
For such a figure, neither the Japanese government nor the military, from top to bottom, dare not slack off.
You must know that the **** government has done so many things, promoted the normalization of the country's military, and wasted all its efforts, isn't it just to smoothly open the door to the international arms market?
And this Emerson, in their eyes, is the key to that! (To be continued.) )
