6. American influence. [No pop-up novel network] its cooperation with the country and the European borer exhibition seminar has become gloomy

Although in terms of external propaganda, the governments of all EU member states, including the United Kingdom, recognize it. The relationship with the Republic is the most important external relationship of the European Union, and it is the one that has the greatest impact on the European Union. In the words of the President of France in his speech in Brussels, the Republic is not only the EU's largest trading partner, but also the EU's largest investor and investment destination. But the governments of EU member states also admit that it is too early to talk about security cooperation with the republics and that there is no serious security threat to the EU.

All in all, even the Franco-German-Italian authorities believe. Cooperation is necessary, but it cannot be rushed.

Affected by this, "At the end of the month, after attending several important meetings, Yan Jingyu left Yan Shanglong. Returned home with the rest of the staff. Because the cooperation exhibition seminar did not have much to do with the national defense and military, Pei Chengyi did not go to Brussels. Rather, it was returned to the republic before that.

Although many believe that the European strategy of the Republic has suffered a setback due to the interference of the United States.

In fact, the problem is far from being as simple as it seems

The United States has taken the initiative to woo Britain, and Britain has also made it clear that Britain will withdraw from the European Union if France, Germany, Italy and other countries bypass the EU Council and sign cooperation agreements with the Republic that will have an impact on the EU's collective security. In this way, the leaders of France, Germany, Italy, and other countries will naturally not go against the British authorities in Brussels, and this is where the aforementioned incident is achieved. The question is to strengthen the independence of the European Union through security cooperation with the Republic. Increasing the autonomy of the EU is the common goal of many continental countries such as France, Germany and Italy. To put it bluntly, if the major EU member states such as France, Germany and Italy fail to make a big enough step forward in cooperation with the republic and achieve enough achievements, Greece and other member states with close ties to the republic will also collapse the EU in the same way.

It is precisely for this reason that before Yan Jingyu left for Brussels, Pei Chengyi secretly concluded with the military attachés stationed abroad in Warsaw and France, Germany and Italy, and determined a very important thing, that is, the authorities of the Republic gave the green light to domestic arms companies participating in the Van Paul Air Show held in France this month. These arms companies are allowed to send the latest weapons and equipment to the exhibition, and in accordance with the principles of normal trade. Provide countries including EU member states with data on the main performance of arms participating in the war. France, Germany, Italy, and other countries have also pledged to purchase arms from the Republic as long as the problem of technology exports can be resolved and a mutually acceptable price can be agreed.

Obviously, this is no small matter.

You must know that since the beginning of the year, the arms enterprises of the Republic have not participated in defense exhibitions and air stations held in European countries for consecutive years. Although in the year of the blade, Zhongzhong Group and AVIC Group participated in the Farnberg Air Show, but only brought civilian products and non-combat military aircraft. No fighter jets were sent to the exhibition. Other words. In the past 10,000 years, the arms of the Republic have not entered the gates of European countries, at least not through official channels.

As early as after the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War, the United States and European countries managed to get some fragments of the republic's weapons and equipment from India, and they also managed to get some whole pieces from some countries that had close ties with the republic.

For example, in the old years of the United States, the United States obtained fighter jets from Iran, and after careful study, it was found that the Republic of China had cut corners when it was engaged in arms exports, and had not equipped the fighter planes sold to Iran with the most advanced equipment, such as the phased array fire control radar that had been successfully developed at that time, and the Doppler radar was still used.

In the year of the tooth, the United States also cooperated with Israel to successfully instigate a Syrian air force pilot, and got a complete episode of the little thugs, but the fighters were all strengthened with air defense, which is very different from the similar fighters equipped by the Republican ** team.

And vice versa. At the time of four or eight years. The Republic obtained the wreckage of some U.S. fighter jets from Iran, and judged that the U.S. Air Force's air combat capabilities were much worse than those advertised by Loma, or rather, they did not enhance their air defense capabilities as the exported fighters. During the Peninsula War, the special forces of the republic also obtained an intact US fighter jet. By the time of the Japanese War. The intelligence agencies of the Republic even managed to turn against the Japanese admirals and obtained several large warships.

All in all, it's not a hassle to get a few pieces of equipment, and it's not a hassle to figure out the performance of the opponent's main equipment. The new address of this site has been changed to: Chat about the tire o Wai Shan please read Mitsuda!

That is, the participation of arms dealers in the republic's air shows in Europe is more symbolic. In other words, this is a way for the authorities of the republic to show their attitude, an important step towards the normalization of relations between China and the EU in the field of security.

Of course, there are no impermeable walls.

At the end of the month, shortly after Yan Jingyu returned to China, the news that the Republic of China would participate in the Farnberg Air Show and was expected to come up with the latest fighter jet spread all over the world.

In fact, it's not a leak either.

After Pei Chengyi returned to China, he was active and found several representatives of the Military Committee, hoping that the Military Committee of the Plenary Congress would be able to relax on the issue of participating in the defense exhibition and not be so strict. If it can bring benefits to the arms dealers, I am afraid that the Military Commission will really make concessions without Pei Chengyi having to worry about it.

The key is to convince arms dealers that they will benefit from attending a European defense show.

At the beginning, the General Assembly of the Republic made a decision to prohibit all arms involving classified technology from participating in defense exhibitions in countries and regions that were restricted by the technological ban, precisely because the arms dealers of the Republic believed that doing so would harm their interests. At that time, the whole world knew that the Republic had the most advanced electric technology in the world, and they all wanted to know something about the Republic's electric technology, especially the cutting-edge technology used in arms.

Before and after the Korean Peninsula War, the Military Intelligence Agency and the National Security Bureau alone cracked many security cases related to the theft of electric technology, and tens of thousands of people were suspected. The suspects arrested in secret far outweigh those who are tried in public.

According to some information declassified by the authorities of the Republic in Yo Nian, between the year of the regiment and the year of the new year, the military technology of the Republic was seriously threatened, and several major arms enterprises had problems, such as the fall of a senior manager of the Zhongzhong Group in the year of imprisonment, and the fact that seven senior managers who died unexpectedly were very likely to be secretly executed by the intelligence agencies because they were involved in an intelligence leak case.

All in all, Wang Yuanqing, who had already returned to the central authorities at that time and was in charge of the work of the central authorities, said harshly that if the issue of secrecy could not be resolved, the threshold of the arms market would only be raised, and even the arms enterprises would be nationalized. As a result of this, the major arms dealers have not only signed technical confidentiality agreements with the authorities of the Republic, and the personnel who have mastered important technologies have been vetted by the government, but have also signed "entrusted service agreements" with intelligence agencies, that is, the major arms dealers will pay for them and let several major intelligence agencies, including the Military Intelligence Bureau, be responsible for providing them with intelligence security. That is, if something goes wrong. Then the major arms dealers will be able to shift the blame to the intelligence agencies. Because intelligence agencies are government departments and secret services, they do not have the legal authority to sign contracts with civilian enterprises, so they can only be served by civilian security companies secretly supported by intelligence agencies. It was so thugs after the war on the peninsula. The market for civilian security services in the Republic is booming, and a large number of retired soldiers, especially special forces with war experience, are very popular.

Around the end of the year, in order to avoid the impact of political changes, several arms dealers led by the Zhongzhong Group and the AVIC Group took advantage of the last opportunity before Wang Yuanqing left office to get the plenum to pass several bills aimed at protecting military technology, and let these bills take effect before and after Wang Yuanqing left office.

Arguably, this is a very crucial step.

At that time, the main consideration of the major arms dealers was whether the national leaders after Wang Yuanqing would adhere to the business exhibition model of the arms industry dominated by private enterprises, and if the answer was no, then the Zhongzhong Group and the AVIC Group, the high-level predators in the arms industry, would suffer. At that time, when Lin Muhua joined forces with the chairmen of several other arms companies, he said that even if the new government would not change the exhibition mode of market-oriented operation, it would be possible to dismember several major arms dealers in the name of breaking the ground. In fact. As early as after the war in India, Zhongzhong Group encountered a "Kui Crisis of Breaking Down", and at least four representatives of that year put forward proposals for splitting Zhongzhong Group in accordance with the Anti-Monopoly Law on three occasions.

The confrontation with the government is clearly unclear, and if the major arms dealers want to survive, they can only try to do better.

For such a high-level arms enterprise as China Heavy Group and AVIC Group. The so-called "do better." "It's about downsizing, leaving room for other companies to survive and not taking advantage of them. For the arms industry as a whole, "doing better" means trying to avoid making low-level mistakes and not leaving the government with a handle.

Among them, the most important is technical secrecy.

You know, before the year of the blade, through several large-scale wars, many private arms enterprises had established very close relations with the intelligence agencies of the republic, especially the Military Intelligence Agency, and cooperated in many fields. Judging by the situation at the time, as long as the military intelligence bureau did not turn against the water. In the short term, at least in the first year of his tenure, Gu Weimin will not be able to take a knife against a private arms enterprise. Of course, there must be a prerequisite for this, that is, the major arms enterprises must not violate the law. If the government is given sufficient reasons, such as the suspicion that private arms companies are selling technology, or the management of technology is not strict, then it is impossible for the military intelligence agency to help arms dealers speak for such an important matter.

All in all, the arms dealers of the republic at that time had no choice.

The problem is that for many years, strict technical secrecy has been given a taste of the major arms dealers.

For example, the AVIC Group, the number one aviation weapons manufacturer in the Republic, was able to sell the old fighters that had been on the market for nearly a few years to overseas users thanks to strict technical secrecy measures, and had received orders for hundreds of improved fighter planes. Although this has affected the sales of small old fighters that are also for the group, for AVIC Group, the more old fighters are sold, the better, and the more changes the better.

As a fighter, even if the electronic equipment can be upgraded, as the airframe ages, sooner or later it will be retired from active service. According to the survey done by AVIC Group. Even the small ones purchased by a few wealthy Gulf countries can only serve for a calendar year at most, and then they will have to spend more money on more advanced fighters. Several Gulf rich countries have changed the new address of this site to: concave muscle shake Shan, please read after the light! "The second is almost all decoration. A large number of Yanjiao fighters have been parked in the hangar for a long time. It's very good that the old fighter can be in service until the next year. Even if improvements are made. When the body structure is strengthened, it can only be used for calendar years. When the time comes, these families will have to spend money on new fighter jets.

According to the estimation of the AVIC Group, with the merger of the Air Force of the Republic and the Space Force, the air and space fighters will move from the test base to the troops, and the authorities of the Republic will not only let the old advanced improved model of the latest improved model be the old "As in the past, the Air Force only symbolically purchased a large group of 7 new fighters, and then signed a contract with the AVIC Group to change the Air Force's other small old fighters, and such an order could not even cover the opening costs, and the AVIC Group had to pin its hopes on exports if it wanted to make money. It is even possible to approve the AVIC Group, using the technology accumulated in the old project, to develop an advanced fighter with primary air-space combat capabilities specifically for export. In this way, around the calendar year. AVIC will certainly be able to introduce a heavy fighter that can comprehensively overwhelm its competitors in the international market, continuing its glorious history in the fighter market.

According to this calculation, AVIC Group will not only not be able to export large quantities because of small old products, but as early as around the year of Lihuan, a batch of small old products were sold to Pakistan and Argentina, and opened to intensive groups in the year of force pollution.

The problem is that the strength of other countries in the intensive group, except for the republic, is very average, and even Pakistan, which ranks second in terms of comprehensive national strength, and Argentina, which ranks third, can only be regarded as second-rate regional powers, and it is simply impossible to purchase heavy air supremacy fighters in large quantities. At that time, Pakistan only purchased the old Zhaojia thugs, and other countries combined did not buy them! It is impossible for AVIC Group to profit and suffer losses from it, but it will create large profits for AVIC Group in a few years.

Like AVIC, other arms dealers have benefited greatly from the technical controls of the Republican authorities.

It can be seen that by the end of the century, technology control was no longer a means of dealing with arms dealers, but was helping arms dealers to make profits. It could even be argued that arms dealers are the main force driving military control. Among other things, the republic passed a technology ban against the EU that year because the arms dealers of the republic did not want to meet a second adversary other than the United States, so they did not want to cooperate with the arms enterprises of the EU.

Of course, time has passed, and the situation in the turbulent years is not the same as it was a few years ago.

Among them, the most important factor is none other than Pei Chengyi's attitude.

Prior to this, Pei Chengyi basically acquiesced in military technology control measures and supported the "self-discipline behavior" of arms dealers, but when national interests require it, deregulation, especially targeted deregulation, is the best choice.

More importantly, no one can deny Pei Chengyi's powerful relationship with arms dealers.

In addition to the identity of the defense minister, Pei Chengyi's influence mainly comes from his status as an army general.

In a certain sense, the arms enterprises of the Republic, especially the private arms enterprises, have been able to grow and form the world's most powerful arms industry in a short period of time, and we must thank three people, one is Ji Youguo, who opened the arms market to private capital, the other is Wang Yuanqing, who promoted the reform process through political reform, and finally Pei Chengyi, who led the republican team to victory in three large-scale wars.

Needless to say, the contributions of Ji Youguo and Wang Yuanqing are not too much. Without them, let alone the arms enterprises of the republic, it is a question whether the republic would be what it is now. Pei Chengyi's contribution is not in politics or reform, but on the battlefield. In the words of the Western news media, Pei Chengyi's tactics on the battlefield not only defeated the enemy, but also nourished the arms enterprises of the Republic. In the case of the war in India, nearly two tons of various military supplies consumed in just one month would allow the arms enterprises of the Republic to produce at normal efficiency for nearly a year, or at maximum efficiency. In fact, the Republic did prepare for war at that time, and during the war it imported large quantities of military weapons from other countries, especially several major allies. After the end of the Indian War. Some people joke that if Pei Chengyi can get benefits from arms dealers according to the percentage of salespeople's commission, that is, draw 3/10,000 dividends, he will definitely be the richest in the world.

It is exactly like this, with the departure of Wang Yuanqing. Gu Weimin is not an "outward-looking" leader, and Yan Jingyu's talent has not yet been expressed, so after entering the Ministry of National Defense, Pei Chengyi has vaguely become the leader of the Republic's ** fire enterprises, or the object of competition among major arms dealers.

Not to mention anything else, after Pei Chengyi became Minister of Defense, Kang Xiaoting, the husband of Lin Muhua, chairman of Zhongzhong Group, would give him New Year's greetings every year. Although according to the rules, Kang Xiaoting will not give too expensive gifts, and Pei Chengyi will not accept any gifts worth too old four yuan, which is the lower limit of the crime of accepting bribes under the law, but this kind of frequent exchange will definitely be of great help to the Zhongzhong Group in winning arms orders from the Ministry of National Defense.

All in all, as long as Pei Chengyi speaks, arms companies will definitely have to give face.

In fact, this is also the main reason why Pei Chengyi returned to China early.
