Chapter 1822 Our Journey is a Sea of Stars (Finale, with Reflections)
"Mr. Lin, welcome to the United States." In the White House, Comrade Ao Guanhai shook Lin Hongfei's hand, but his expression was a little melancholy.
"Thank you, Mr. President, and I hope that this meeting will have a satisfactory outcome for both of us." Lin Hongfei also shook Ao Guanhai's hand hard and said with a smile.
Boeing General Manager Bob Brown was on the sidelines. Feldman, on the other hand, looked gloomy.
This time, Lin Hongfei and his entourage came to talk with the U.S. government and the Boeing Group about the acquisition of Boeing Group shares, well, there is no talk about it, the early stage has been almost discussed, and now what we have to do is to determine the final matters, and determine a time for signing the contract...... Choosing a good day and auspicious day to sign a contract is not only liked by Chinese people, but also by foreigners.
Boeing is not only the civil aircraft manufacturing department and military aircraft manufacturing department that we know, but now Boeing includes Boeing Shared Services Group, Boeing Financial Company, Boeing Civil Aircraft Group, Boeing Connection Company and Boeing Integrated Defense Systems Group and Ghost Engineering Department, these six units, military products are related to military aircraft, missiles and launch vehicles and other products, at the same time, Boeing is also the largest contractor of NASA, these are just things on the surface, There are many more things that go unnoticed in the shadows than that.
But there is no doubt that Boeing's civil aircraft manufacturing division is the most profitable unit in the hands of Boeing, at least 10 years ago, but such a 10-year-old people looked up to the world, now have to accept the acquisition of shares of AVIC No. 2 Group, which inevitably makes some Americans and American politicians sigh: since the subprime mortgage crisis of that year. The United States of America really declined, and the Chinese took advantage of this opportunity to rise.
"Mr. Lin. With the acquisition of a 17.8% stake in Boeing Commercial Airplanes, which has become the second largest shareholder of Boeing Civil Airplanes, the Board of Directors hopes that the cooperation between the two parties will allow you to see the transfer of technology related to the North County 800 to Boeing. "Bob. Feldman made the request on behalf of Boeing.
As the largest civil aircraft in history, the North-County 800 is much larger than the Airbus A380 with a one-story cargo compartment and a two-and-a-half-story cabin structure. The passenger capacity under the layout of the three-class cabin is as high as 800 people, and the North County 800, which is positioned as a luxury transport vehicle between the core aviation hubs between countries, shocked the world when it was launched in the second half of last year, and its ability to glide and land like a glider in the case of four NK-44 super-large duct ratio high-thrust turbofan engines has lost power, and has been praised by countless people in the world, and has been called "an aircraft that will never fall" by countless media, and has delivered 4 aircraft since last year. The number of orders accumulated by AVIC No. 2 Group is as high as 20 aircraft...... Of these, 15 are from Saudi Arabia, a large dog country.
After an inspection of the North County 800, the super tyrant immediately returned the order for the A380 signed with Airbus. Instead, the order was handed over to AVIC Group 2, and the Saudi crown prince has even decided to transform one of the North County 800s into his own palace in the sky...... In the face of this news, countless netizens shouted "Local tyrant, please take my knees!" ”。
For such a super-polar aircraft, Boeing is naturally greedy, but unfortunately, Boeing has not launched a larger aircraft since the "Jumbo Aircraft" 747, although later there is a development plan for the Boeing 747-8. However, having lost the market of the Republic and in poor financial condition, the Boeing Group was no longer able to develop the 747-8, and the "Jumbo Aircraft" was reduced to the third place in the world. While the world is lamenting, Boeing also hopes to obtain a part of the technology of the North County 800 through the share acquisition of Guò.
"Bob, there's no way I can give you an answer right now, you know, this technology is a state-controlled project. It's not something I say to give or not to give and make a final decision," Lin Hongfei spread his hands and looked at Ao Guanhai helplessly, "Your Excellency, I regret this. ”
Lin Hongfei's answer made Bob. Feldman and Ao Guanhai were a little disappointed, but he also knew that this was indeed the truth, not only AVIC Group 2, even Boeing, without the permission of the US government, no matter how reluctant they were, they could not transfer relevant aviation manufacturing technology to other countries, but even so, they were still a little unwilling, Ao Guanhai thought for a while and said, "What if we lift some bans on your country?" ”
"For example?"
"For example, the U.S. government can announce the lifting of the arms embargo treaty with China."
The tight mantra of the arms embargo treaty with China has been on the head of the republic for many years, but when Ao Guanhai said at this moment that he could exchange the lifting of the arms embargo treaty with China in exchange for part of the technology of Beijun 800, Lin Hongfei found that his mood was very calm, calm and even a little abnormal, "Mr. President, I can convey your intentions to the leaders of our country, but I can't talk to you about this issue without the authorization of our government...... This is beyond my purview. ”
Doesn't that work? O'Aoguanhai and Bob. Feldman glanced at each other, both of them looking disappointed.
Looking at O'Aoguanhai and Bob. The disappointment in Feldman's eyes, Lin Hongfei secretly laughed in his heart, in recent years, a wave of demands on the US government to lift the arms embargo treaty against China has been set off in the United States, the reason is very simple, the United States has China, and it is no worse than the United States, since the Americans have Chinese, and even the Chinese who the Americans do not have, then what is the significance of this arms embargo treaty with China, except for making the relationship between the two countries a knot? In this case, it is better to exchange something with the Chinese on the condition of dissolving this treaty.
As the republic becomes stronger and stronger, the technological gap between equipment and the United States is getting smaller and smaller, and even surpassing it, this trend has even become the consensus of most politicians in the United States.
In the eyes of Ao Guanhai and even the American industrial, business, and even political circles, this is an excellent opportunity to discuss this issue with Chinese during discussions on the issue of AVIC Second Group's shareholding with Boeing.
But Lin Hongfei's reaction made Ao Guanhai and Bob . Feldman was disappointed, and his reaction was calm.
…………………………………………
But anyway. The Republic is still happy to see the lifting of this arms embargo treaty against China. There is always such a thing in the diaphragm, and no one will feel comfortable in their hearts, but since the current republic is not short of American things, it must be replaced with a condition.
After several years of negotiations, 2018. The U.S. government announced that it will lift the arms embargo treaty with China with immediate effect, and in addition to this, "the United States will fully withdraw from the Southwest Pacific, and the United States believes that the Republic has the ability and strength to handle international relations in this region." ”
The then president of the United States had a gloomy expression and his voice choked up several times.
Through the TV screen, we can clearly see the moistness in the eyes of Mr. President when he said this, and countless American people burst into tears.
The Stars and Stripes hanging low behind Mr. President seem to be a subtle symbol of the fact that the United States is still the world's largest economy. But just like this Star-Spangled Banner, it is already going downhill, and in the country opposite the United States, it is like a round of sunrise and vitality.
However, the Republic of China is very indifferent to this move by the US Government, and the world is also very indifferent, and the arms embargo treaty will not be lifted. It really doesn't mean much to the republic, not to mention whether the United States will sell some equipment even if the arms embargo is lifted, even if it is sold. Now what the United States has, what does the republic not have?
The United States has a supercarrier with a full load displacement of more than 100,000 tons? The republic's first nuclear-powered, more advanced electromagnetic catapult supercarrier is already under construction;
The United States has two strategic bombers, the B-1B and B-2, and the Republic's H-7 and H-8 bombers are also a headache for the US Government.
The United States has F-22 and F-35 stealth fighters, and the Republic also has two stealth fighters, the J-20 and J-31.
The Americans have the C-17 "Globemaster" large transport plane, which integrates strategic and tactical transport capabilities, and the Republic's Y-20 transport plane not only has the same strategic and tactical transport capabilities, but also surpasses the C-17 in terms of price, stability, reliability, and many other aspects.
The United States has the M1A2 Abrams main battle tank. However, in last year's simulated confrontation military exercise between the Chinese and US militaries, the M1A2 "Abrams" main battle tank was abused by the latest Type 99B tank of the Republic......
Perhaps the only thing that the United States can be proud of and proud of is its overseas military bases all over the world and 11 large aircraft carrier battle groups in service, the Republic only has a total of 6 aircraft carrier battle groups in 1 big 5, counting the latest one that is laying the keel, a total of 7, but unlike the United States global military deployment, the Republic is now pursuing control within 5,000 kilometers, and the current military armed forces are enough to ensure control within 5,000 kilometers.
When a world war breaks out, Americans far away from the war zone can make a lot of war money while watching the fire from the other side, but at this time, the complex geopolitical situation around the republic has highlighted its advantages: because there are many surrounding countries, and to the west and even in the hinterland of the earth, a strong republic can have much greater influence on these regions than an "island" country like the United States!
"So...... It's time to resolve the South China Sea issue and the Bay Island issue. At the highest core meeting, Lin Hongfei, who created the youngest history, said, "Our eyes can't be bound by these places all the time, our journey is a sea of stars." ”
"That's right, although the South China Sea issue is just an itch for scabies, but ...... It's time to settle it out. ”
For Lin Hongfei's Standing Committee, the other Standing Committee members unanimously voted in favor!
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
ps: First of all, I won't write a special testimonial for the completion of the book, because of the special circumstances of the book, because of the hurried ending, the millennium feels a little sorry for the four words "the completion of the testimonial", I really don't dare to say the "testimonial", I can only talk about the feelings in the heart of the millennium here.
Seriously, every time I write the words "finale", I believe that every author is melancholy in his heart, and the millennium is no exception, "The Family" has been uploaded since August 20, 2012 to the present, and has accompanied everyone for almost 22 months, condensing the hard work of nearly two years for a thousand years...... Thousands of tastes in my heart.
Someone once said that every Chinese has a dream of a big country in their hearts, as a small indignation in the mouth of the public elite, there is also a dream of a big country in the heart of the millennium, and can't wait to write this dream out and write it for everyone to see, so there is "The Family", I believe that many authors at the beginning of writing the book, the mental journey should be similar to the millennium.
Facts have proved that there is indeed a dream of a great country in the hearts of every Chinese, and among these brothers who support the millennium, everyone has a dream of a great power, because of this dream of a great power, the brothers chose to forgive the writing of the millennium Xiaobai and chose to support the millennium.
But at the same time, the millennium is also very proud, in these 22 months, the millennium has been a group of brothers who have been giving the millennium support and encouragement, without your encouragement, there would be no more than 5.94 million words of total words, more than 4.2 million total subscriptions, and there are no nearly 700 days and nights in the past two years.
This achievement can't be compared with the gods, it can only be regarded as average, but the millennium can be said to be that although the millennium ability is limited, but I really tried my best, and I am worthy of every subscription to everyone.
Strictly speaking, the end of the last nearly 2 months of "The Family" is not perfect, I remember that in late April, when the update was started again after a break, the millennium said that because of the climate, it could only be hurriedly finished, otherwise there were more than 2 million words, but now, there are only more than 300,000 words, although they did not enter the palace, the brothers also understood the millennium, and no one could do anything about the climate, but more or less some were not only perfect, but the millennium was also very regrettable.
But in any case, "The Family" is over, in the process of writing this book, the millennium has learned a lot of things, met a lot of brothers and friends, this is the most precious and proud wealth of the millennium, in the process of writing the "Family" learned these things, the millennium will strive to integrate into the new book "Super Electronic Empire", some brothers said that "Super Electronics Empire" is better than "The Family", this is the greatest affirmation of the millennium, but also the most gratifying thing of the millennium, in two years, the millennium is still somewhat improved, this is good, this is good, Millennium hope has always been able to improve, worthy of every subscription of the brothers, worthy of the support of the brothers.
Finally, by the way, advertise yourself, the new book "Super Electronic Empire" of the millennium is in the new book period, and it urgently needs everyone's support and encouragement...... It takes a thousand years!
I want to say goodbye, although I am very reluctant, brothers, goodbye, let's see you in "Super Electronics Empire", and I hope you will continue to support "Super Electronics Empire"!
Writing and writing, I suddenly found that it seemed that this testimonial was more than 1000 words, and it seemed that I would charge everyone an extra 1000 words, cough cough, although it was a bit shameless, but at this last moment, I believe everyone wouldn't mind, right?
