Chapter 1117: To Each His Master
As he spoke, Lieutenant General Johansen burst out laughing.
The loud laughter attracted several officers who were drinking coffee around them, and Colonel Haleps and Colonel Loka George in the distance looked over a little puzzled.
But then they all turned their heads and continued to drink coffee or talk.
Guo said sarcastically: "Before the outbreak of the Falklands War, I think that these words spoken by Your Excellency and Your Excellency have also been said and shown by Mrs. Thatcher now, perhaps she and her senior officials said in a slightly different way. However, they were wrong. I think Your Excellency will have to retract your words in the future. ”
Lieutenant General Johansen smiled and asked, "Really?" The British navy was only caught off guard by the Argentine, and when they and our planes flew all over their territory, they could only sit down obediently and negotiate. ”
Guo Zhuocheng smiled and asked: "What if it is the Soviet Union?" Do your planes dare to approach their homeland? ”
Lieutenant General Johansen said with a smile: "We will be ready for the first time to deal with the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union." I don't believe that with their surface fleet they can compete with us. As for their submarine at the bottom of the sea, I think it is even more of an opponent for our submarines. Your country should be well aware of this, as soon as your submarine comes out of the military port, our listening system at the base will know about it. I have to apologize for this, even though we didn't mean to spy on your submarines. ”
Guo Shucheng nodded: "I admit that the performance of our Chinese submarines is not very good, although what Your Excellency said is exaggerated, I still will not deny it." After all, we have been blockaded by Western countries led by your country for too long, and your country and other allies have banned the export of cutting-edge equipment to us, and we can only turn to the USSR for help, and we can only accept their not advanced technologies. Moreover, for the sake of world peace and development. In order to oppose the hegemony of the Soviet Union, our country has long been in a hostile relationship with the Soviet Union, and its newer and more modern technologies are not available, and we have to rely on our own exploration of all our military products.
We were able to build submarines, we were able to build nuclear submarines, which is already a remarkable achievement, after all, our country started from a ruin, and when we first founded the country more than 30 years ago, even matches needed to be imported. Not to mention tank engines, aircraft engines, even the engines of civilian tractors cannot be produced. All of this is due to you Western countries, and even more so to the country that you are now supporting. ”
Lieutenant General Johansen said: "I'm sorry, I deeply regret this. But the day you are talking about invaded your country more than thirty years ago. It has caused great harm to your country, but now they still want to live and develop, and we can't help but let them survive and live. ”
Guo Zhuocheng said: "You are assisting them financially, we can not say it. But since the Korean War, you have been supporting them militarily, and the performance of many of their weapons and equipment has greatly surpassed ours. ”
Lieutenant General Johansen shook his hand and said, "This is something that the politicians are considering. And did Mr. Guo find that we are too far away from the topic, how did we get from the Soviet Union to Japan? I can sue you that I don't like the day either. ”
Guo Shucheng asked: "Can this be announced to the outside world?" ”
Lieutenant General Johansen was stunned. smiled: "Now it seems that there is only you and me here, and you announced it to the outside, and I have to regretfully deny it." This is a question about the relations between the two countries, I. As a soldier, you can't just express your opinion. Outer part. Why can't I talk to you privately about my feelings, why does it have to be so official? ”
Guo Shucheng smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this." Then, he said solemnly, "Your Excellency, I would like to formally tell you one thing: according to the information we have, the Soviet Union has obtained the processing technology of five-axis linkage CNC machine tools from your country or your allies, and I heard that they have processed propeller thrusters with noise reduction. ”
Lieutenant General Johansen's hand shaking over his coffee shook and blurted out, "What you said is true?" Where did they get the technology, and which sector of the USSR is currently using it? ”
Guo Shucheng shook his head and said, "We don't know about this, and we have nothing to say." ”
Lieutenant General Johansen gently placed his coffee on the table and said lightly: "I don't think they Soviets can get these technologies. Even if your country uses these technologies, it will have to be under our control, and the possibility that they, the Soviet Union, will acquire such technology and equipment are very small. ”
Unlike the previous life, the United States and Western European countries in this life did not completely ban the export of five-axis linkage CNC machine tools to China as in the previous life. However, the CNC machine tools exported to China must be carried out under the supervision of European and American countries, and the processed parts are restricted, or they must be reported.
It's just that the Chinese will not be so honest, after the arrival of the five-axis linkage CNC machine tool, China has concentrated almost all the top mechanical experts and electronic experts in the country to decipher it, plus China has not stopped the technical tracking of this machine tool, has long reserved relevant technology, and then with the help of Sweden, West Germany and other countries that are not very wary of China, technical exchanges and other means, China did not take long to develop its own five-axis linkage CNC machine tools, and the propellers processed by it are used in the latest submarines.
In fact, the control in the previous life was so strict, but there was still a "Toshiba incident" -- the Japanese Toshiba Company violated the restrictions of the "Paris Coordinating Committee" to export five-axis linkage CNC machine tools to the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union used it to manufacture nuclear submarine propulsion propellers, due to the improvement of processing accuracy, the noise of the propeller when rotating in the water was greatly reduced, so that the American sonar could not detect the movement of the former Soviet nuclear submarine, and the Soviet submarine could be well hidden under the seabed. The sale of the CNC machine tool also brought the Soviet Union's equipment manufacturing industry to a higher level, making it difficult for the US military to grasp the movements of the Soviet submarines, and the losses were huge.
Similar to the historical process of the previous life, the company completed the deal at the beginning of this year. Guo Zhuocheng has also been paying attention to this matter, and he is secretly revealing it now to grasp the initiative. At the same time, Guo believes that as the United States and Western European countries know that the Soviet Union also has five-axis linkage CNC machine tools, they will automatically relax restrictions on China. Although China has developed its own CNC machine tools, its performance is still far behind that of Western countries, and it still hopes to use the most high-tech and best-performing American products in the processing of precision and short weapons.
Guo Zhuocheng sneered in his heart and said very calmly: "Not to mention that you United States are not monolithic, your allies are full of loopholes. You can investigate the truth of this matter, but I just want to remind you that if the Soviet Union uses this technology on their submarines, I am very worried about whether our navy, your navy, and the navies of your allies will be able to deal with them. Will your navy still be able to grasp their whereabouts? ”
Lieutenant General Johansen stared at Guo Zhuocheng for a few seconds, and then said embarrassedly: "We still have to ask experts to make an assessment." Then, unable to hide his anger, he said, "We will definitely dig up this moth, and we will make him regret it." ”
Guo Shucheng said: "I believe that the reason why this happened is also because of interests. ......, if your country helps us to improve the technology of building large ships, I think your country will definitely gain more benefits, and at the same time have a real ally to work together against the Soviet Union. Only if our two countries deal openly and honestly with the matter, and do not make any more wariness of us, will we be able to maintain this friendship at the expense of some of our own interests. We don't want to spend too much time looking for other countries and other friends. ”
What Guo meant in his words was that if you in the United States do not agree, then we can ask other countries for help, and this kind of technology is not unique to you, the United States. Even countries like the Soviet Union can obtain high-tech and cutting-edge equipment under the strict blockade of your Western countries, so we in China will be more qualified to obtain the technology we want. Not only do we have good relations with many Western countries, but not only do we in China now have money to buy and technology to transfer, but more importantly, many countries have asked for us.
Lieutenant General Johansen obviously understood Guo's words, because he also knew that in order to prevent China from selling YJ-801 missiles to Argentina, Britain had privately promised China a lot of things, the most obvious being that Britain would buy YJ-801 missiles at a high price, and at the same time make concessions on the Hong Kong issue and open up some of its product markets to China.
Even a big country like Britain has to make overtures to China, let alone other countries. In particular, this country that sold five-axis linkage CNC machine tools to the Soviet Union, once they have large-scale shipbuilding technology, they may not sell them to China behind the back of the United States.
Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Johansen said: "Okay. You said that you moved me, and I will definitely report to my superiors when I go back. I don't think it's very difficult, after all, we have a common strong enemy. ”
……
The two finally found a common topic, or the two finally had the content of bargaining, so the two began to enter the negotiation period.
Obviously, the status of Night Pearl Island is too small, and both of them deliberately avoided it, talking about major matters between China and the United States.
In fact, they didn't talk for long, after all, both of them were tentative, and they both needed to report to their superiors, and they both had to ask their superiors to send other people to make specific bargains, and now even if the two of them were confirmed, they could only make a memo at most.
Guo had dinner with them here before returning to the island.
The next day, Vice Admiral Johansen also invited Guo to visit their warship and conducted a simple anti-submarine drill for this purpose.
After that, Vice Admiral Johansen commanded the U.S. fleet to return to the military port of Zhinaha, while Guo Zhuocheng flew to the capital.
