"I'll tell you. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Nicholas didn't want to be in the limelight, but needed to make a simple statement of the situation.

After Wang Dong and the others went to Saudi Arabia, in addition to providing intelligence and information support, Nicholas also used the computer obtained from "Regmontanus" to closely monitor the situation of "Arms Toslav" and find out the relationship between "Arms Tothra" and this deal.

Nicholas had long found out that H&K, Barrett, Kalashnikov and Beretta all had members of the "Arms Toslav" behind them, with H&K and Barrett being the most prominent, and the members who supported these two companies were sponsored by the consortium.

Behind H&K is the German group holding, and Barrett is home to several American banks.

The root cause of Beretta's withdrawal was that it did not receive the support of the consortium.

As for Kalashnikov, it's just a-stirring stick.

FN was the first to go out, and it had something to do with it.

"Over the past month, 'Arms Tothra' has been noticeably less active, and it seems that there is a serious disagreement over the Saudi arms order."

"Focus." Wang Dong reminded Nicholas, he knew that Nicholas liked to talk nonsense.

"There are three important points," said Nicholas, who was very expressive, but also very intellectual. "First, there must be a problem within the 'Arms Toslav', and there must be irreconcilable contradictions among the main members. Second, there are also great contradictions within European arms dealers, as evidenced by the fact that FN is out of the game. Finally, there is now reason to believe that the member codenamed 'Shakespeare' is the president of BAE Systems. ”

Wang Dong frowned, while Luo Qing and the others looked at Nicholas in surprise.

Don't forget, in Miami, Burns, the head of the killer organization codenamed "Ares", once mentioned that "Shakespeare" was British.

BAE Systems is one of the world's top five arms conglomerates and Europe's largest arms company.

If Burns is not lying, it is highly likely that the president of BAE Systems is "Shakespeare".

"Is there any evidence?"

"There is no direct evidence, there are some clues, and speculations made by clues."

Wang Dong knocked on the table, obviously a little impatient.

"Whether there is evidence or not, it is the same, unless you find him and ask him face to face, no one can prove that he is 'Shakespeare'." Zhao Yu took over the topic and said, "The current situation is that he is very likely to be out of the game in the near future, either to be replaced by someone else, or to take the initiative to give up everything he has." ”

"You're saying someone is dealing with him?"

"It's not 'someone.'"

Wang Dong's expression was solemn, and he asked Zhao Yu to speak clearly.

"Don't forget, the UK has already separated from Europe, and although the Brexit process is not yet complete, in a few years, the UK will completely part ways with the EU."

At this time, Wang Dong understood, and so did the others.

Since the end of the Cold War, the security situation has improved considerably, and many European countries have reduced their armaments.

After a painful winter, in order to adapt to the new environment, European arms companies began to reorganize and merge, forming several arms giants.

BAE Systems is one of them.

In the European family, it is easy to say anything, after all, it is a member of the European Union, and the impact of which country the company opens is not very large.

The problem now is that the UK has passed the Brexit referendum.

Since the UK is no longer a member of the European Union, why should BAE Systems be in control of the European arms industry?

In fact, this is the fundamental reason why FN was the first to go out.

BAE Systems is the majority shareholder of FN and Belgium has always had an ambiguous relationship with the United Kingdom, and if other European countries plan to rectify the arms industry, they will also exclude the United Kingdom, and H&K, which is supported by the German group holding company, will definitely be the leader in the firearms category, while FN will inevitably be squeezed out and eventually even swallowed up by other companies.

"You mean, the arms giants of other European countries are targeting BAE Systems?"

"It's the UK."

As soon as Wang Dong said this, the eyes of the others turned away.

"After Brexit, Britain has become an outsider to the German-French-dominated EU. Although in general, the EU has no hidden security risks, and neither the United States on the other side of the Atlantic nor Russia on the east poses a military threat to the EU, but in order to become a world pole and have enough influence on the world situation, the EU, especially Germany and France, still need to do something militarily. ”

No one objected, and that was a clear reason.

"Obviously, in order to get Britain out, it will definitely have to do something to BAE Systems, at least to weaken BAE Systems' position in the European arms industry." Wang Dong let out a long breath and said to Zhao Yu, "You mean, we can use this opportunity to get what we want?" ”

Zhao Yu nodded and said: "Although the United Kingdom has left the European Union, after decades of development, BAE Systems has long been integrated with arms companies in other European countries. In addition, Britain will certainly not be willing to withdraw, not to mention the extremely lucrative profits and large number of jobs that the arms industry can bring. If the British authorities try to make a difference, we have a chance. ”

"What kind of opportunity?" Zhao Huang asked.

"The relationship between the UK and Saudi Arabia is extraordinary, and Prince Waleed's investment can open the door for us to the British government, and it will also allow us to be taken seriously by the British authorities. What's more, the Saudi Army's rearmament involves billions of dollars, including other Gulf countries, more than $10 billion. These contracts will certainly be valued by BAE Systems, and may help us win the opportunity to acquire FN. ”

"Acquisition?" Luo Qing's brows furrowed.

"After losing the Saudi order, FN will soon face a financial crisis. Without us, the most likely acquisition of FN would have been H&K, backed by the German group holding, which would have become the largest firearms manufacturer in Europe and the world. The premise is that you will get a stake in BAE Systems. If we can manage to acquire a stake in BAE Systems, we will be able to participate in the acquisition of FN. ”

"We have that much money?" Zhao Huang was shocked and said, "FN company is a century-old factory, as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if we get a stake in BAE Systems, we don't have enough money to buy FN. ”

Wang Dong pressed his hand and said, "With the acquisition of FN Company, we will be able to obtain the technology necessary for mass production of DF rifles?" ”

"FN has a license to the technology and has an existing production line."

"So, we have to take down FN."
