Chapter 456: Hospitality

In World War II, there were a lot of jokes, such as the Italians who fired anti-aircraft guns, but found that they didn't have crowbars, they couldn't open the shell boxes, and the enemy rushed up, and they were not in a hurry, because they were eating noodles.

Of course, these are all jokes, Italians are definitely not so commonplace, but it is really a common practice for Italians to eat noodles, even if they are entertaining guests, they actually come up with pasta, and of course, pizza.

Although it is different from the domestic one, the Italian noodles taste good, especially all the way over, everyone is hungry, so, sitting here, everyone eats very happily, especially Qin Feng, who ate a large plate, and at the same time held a piece of pizza in one hand, as a snack.

When these were all eaten, Qin Feng felt that he was not very full, so he asked for another plate, and now, after eating, his stomach was a little bulging.

Qin Feng looked at others, everyone was almost the same, everyone was full, in a foreign country, this spaghetti tasted like it really had a domestic taste, not as bad as other Western food, if everyone held a knife and fork and ate a medium-rare steak, they would feel very uncomfortable, not as good as now.

When he finished eating, Qin Feng touched his stomach, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, these Italian masters who accompanied him didn't seem to have the intention of being full?

Sure enough, I saw that the waiter came to serve the food next, and he was holding a plate, and inside this plate was a large plate of meatloaf, and the meatloaf was also sandwiched with ham sausages.

When eating in China, everyone sits at a table, the dishes are all on the plate, and everyone eats whatever they want, but the West is different, and everyone eats in front of them!

So, Qin Feng looked at the big plate of meatloaf, separated a corner, and then, in front of everyone, there was a piece of meatloaf.

Well, we can't afford to waste it.

Although Qin Feng's stomach is full, a young man in his twenties and thirties is the time to eat, so let's continue to eat!

"That's what we're all doing, and it's best to eat it hot." Said the host.

Qin Feng can still eat it, but looking at some old comrades, he obviously began to frown, he knew that he didn't eat so much just now, who knew that they were serving food here, it was served slowly!

After eating this, it should be over, right?

"After eating, you must eat fruit." The Italian hosts finished eating, and then waved their hands, and the waiter came up again, this time with fruit!

A big fruit plate, there is everything in it, apples, pineapples, grapes, so the plate in front of everyone was changed again, this time, looking at the salivating strawberries, Qin Feng wanted to eat it very much, but he knew that his stomach was protesting, this would be almost the same if he was a big stomach.

Everyone ate very slowly, and this fruit was eaten for a full twenty minutes before it was finished.

Okay, and the fruit after the meal is also finished, so it's time to finish, right?

Even General Lin frowned, if we have a good drink, I can accompany as many as I want! But now, this kind of belly comparison is really not good.

"Come, come, and ice cream, it's the best we've ever had!"

In China, it's good to be able to eat a five-cent popsicle in summer, who has ever eaten ice cream? Now, it's one per person again!

In particular, even the young comrades, those old comrades, everyone holding an ice cream, always felt nondescript, especially when this stomach was already full.

This last ice cream, many people politely refused, after this meal, everyone finally got the experience, and eat with each other, you must not eat at once, there are many more behind!

"Let's go back and rest first, wait two more hours, we have a dinner party."

What the? Still want to eat?

The contents of this stomach have not been digested!

Fortunately, the dinner party is no longer a meal, the main thing is drinking, a very upper-class way of social communication, everyone can hold a wine glass and find someone to toast, which is finally General Lin's strong point, but there is really no place to drink in General Lin's stomach.

It turned out that these people were very attentive to the hospitality, and they knew that when everyone came over, they were hungry, so they filled their stomachs first, and then they had a conversation at the dinner!

The hospitality of the Italians is evident.

On the first day of communication, many people still couldn't cope with it, and in the first wave of meals, they were defeated, and the next day, everyone took a car to the Selenia company for this inspection.

Neymar, the person in charge of the reception sent by the company, began to introduce everyone in the car.

"We know that what we want to investigate is an air-to-air missile, but our missile still starts with a surface-to-air missile." Neymar said: "In the sixties, because of the threat of the Soviet Union, many of our countries began to develop surface-to-air tactical missiles, such as the "Roland" system in West Germany, the "Longsword" system in Britain, and the "Sidewinder" system in France. These weapons are independently developed, so the development cycle is long, the cost is high, for us, such research and development is not cost-effective, we prefer to use the existing results, therefore, we will be on the basis of the Sparrow missile research and development, in the early stage of development, it was decided to use the three services, ground-to-air, ship-to-air and air-to-air missiles, because our company has carried out maintenance and production of Hawk and Sparrow missiles, so this task fell on our company. ”

That's where the missiles came from.

"We initially decided to replace the AIM-7E-2 with our own semi-active radar seeker, but then we found out that in order to achieve better performance, we decided to use our own fuzes, warheads, rocket engines and rudder surface drives, among other key components." Neymar said: "This project, named the Aspide missile, the original surface-to-air missile and ship-to-air missile, developed and matured in the seventies, and put into mass production in 1978, but in terms of air-to-air missiles, we don't need it for the time being, we just buy sparrows directly." ”

"Hasn't the air-to-air missile been developed yet?" General Lin asked, this is what everyone is most concerned about.

"Yes, it is still under development, but we have already carried out launch experiments in 1981 and 1985, and the gap in the middle is mainly due to lack of funds, not technical problems." Neymar said they were clearly more frank than the French.
