Chapter 174: A Chance Encounter
Albert's suggestion to make Zubin? Singh was thrilled that India faced an embarrassing military face from the moment it got rid of its colonies from the British. When the British military withdrew, it sold all the armaments that could not be packed away to India and Pakistan, and most of those were World War II-era propeller piston aircraft, such as the British Spitfire and a small number of Meteor jets. Of course, there are very few of these fighter jets deployed in India, so that India and Pakistan are in dire need of aircraft that can be replaced.
The Mustang fighter sent by Albert is undoubtedly a solution to the urgent need, although this aircraft is not as good as the F4 Phantom in performance, but it is more than enough to deal with the Pakistanis of the same World War II model. Thinking of this, Zubin? Singh nodded and said, "I'll go back and report to my superiors, and I'm sure His Highness Albert will be able to wait for a reply before tomorrow." ”
Albert nodded, thinking that this Ah San is really a good pit, the Mustang in his hand is a model that has been used for almost five years, and even if it is to be sold, it is not worth much, so he simply pushes the boat down the river to do personal favors. MOREOVER, THE MUSTANG FIGHTERS EQUIPPED WITH THE BELGIAN AIR FORCE ARE ALL MODIFIED MODELS, AND THE CANNONS IN THEM ARE NO LONGER BROWNING HEAVY MACHINE GUNS, BUT BELGIUM'S SELF-PRODUCED 7.62MM PKM GENERAL-PURPOSE MACHINE GUNS.
"So nice to work with." Albert smiled and stretched out his hand, ready to talk to Zubin? Singh shakes hands.
And the other party also smiled kindly and stretched out his hand and said, "Happy cooperation, Your Highness Albert." ”
After seeing off the God of Wealth, Albert returned to the exhibition hall. It was already noon, and everyone had gone out to eat, except for some staff members who were still haggling with potential customers. Albert walked up to the counter and asked the staff who were busy checking the documents. "How's today's deal?"
"Average." The staff didn't look up, and he didn't know that it was His Royal Highness Albert in front of him, "Most people just asked and left, especially after hearing the staggering price, they all said that it was too expensive, and instead went to choose the F86 Sabre fighter." ”
"But our fighters get what they pay for, don't they?" Albert said. In fact, Albert has already given a very conscientious price, you must know that the F4 Phantom fighter that entered service in 1958 in history costs 2.5 million US dollars, and of course those include those most advanced fire control systems. The APQ-72 radar system and on-board electronics accounted for a million dollars. So Albert's $900,000 is already a very conscientious price.
The staff finally realized that something was wrong, and he felt that the voice of the person in front of him sounded familiar, so he looked up. Knock on it to see His Highness Albert flipping through the book in a bored manner.
The staff squirmed lips that were peeling from too much thirst. With an ugly face, he said, "Your Highness Albert, oh no, boss, why did you come here?" ”
Albert closed the manual, gently threw him back into place, made a gesture of silence, and whispered. "Shhhh It's not good to put too much pressure on you salespeople. ”
"Yes, yes, what the boss said is very true, I will definitely not say it." The counter clerk regretted his outspoken behavior a little, but Albert was notoriously good-tempered, and even if he made a small mistake, he wouldn't lash out at him.
Just as Albert was about to go out for dinner after explaining everything, a familiar figure with long blond hair appeared in front of him, and her long white dress reflected her figure. Albert, who was in a good mood, froze the corners of his mouth that had been raised on his face, and then a self-deprecating wry smile followed, and he thought to himself why John brought this guy over.
Annie? Smith was in a bad mood, she had promised her brother to come to the air show together, but she was entangled by an inexplicable British boy. In the words of the other party, when I saw it for the first time, it seemed that I saw all the flowers by the Danube in full bloom, and in the fierce Anne? Smith said directly, "You just said that the first time you saw me, you thought about how to trick me into bed, why do you say so many metaphors?" ”
Pursuing Annie? Smith's son-in-law is not too bad-looking, a standard British man, although he wears a slender and straight suit, but at a glance he has the feeling of an unreliable playboy.
"I haven't seen Anne for five years, compared to five years ago, I didn't expect that she was a woman at the beginning and now she has reached the point of being comparable to a beautiful goddess." Albert sighed to herself, plus her brother John? Smith had put so much effort into the creation of the new company, and it was not for him to consider whether Albert, who had been pestered by Anne by the man, had to help her, and whether the other party was willing to accept his help was not a matter for him. Knowing the destiny of man has always been Albert's life principle.
"May I ask if this young lady needs any help?"
One Jean Anne? Smith's voice that had been disgusted for decades sounded from her side, Annie? Smith thought that she would never hear this voice in her life, so she subconsciously turned her head and saw the face she never wanted to see again in her life. has been a family for decades, but I didn't expect Anne, who was in a hurry to find someone to get rid of this rich playboy? Smith actually met his old enemy again.
"God is blind, I asked for an angel, and he brought me a demon." Annie? Smith scoffed, looking up and pretending to look around, ignoring Albert's greeting.
"People are always fair, and what kind of appearance will meet what kind of person." Albert retorted unceremoniously, thinking that this girl's mouth was still as unrelenting as it was five years ago.
The two of them were confused by the gunpowder conversation, and she asked suspiciously, "Miss Anne, who is this person?" Your friends? I've never heard you mention it. ”
Anne just wanted to reply to him about your, but remembering that there was a powerful Highness Albert beside her, she looked at the playboy Nunu and said disdainfully, "Count it as your rival in love, or the two of you will have a sword competition, and the one who wins will be favored by Miss Anne." ”
"Are you insane? I'm full, what am I going to do against you? And Annie, you love to walk, don't go to pull. Don't really think that every time we fight, I'm going to shut up first, it's just for your brother's sake. Albert immediately dismantled her stage.
"So who the hell are you?" Seeing that he was being ignored, the playboy said angrily, "My name is Roger? Gloucester, and my father was an English baron, a noble British nobleman. Don't you look like a poor guy, who is qualified to compete with me for Miss Anne? ”
Fortunately, Albert didn't drink water at this time, otherwise he would definitely have sprayed a mouthful of water in his face, Albert was almost unable to straighten up with a smile, and even Anne held her forehead and sighed, "What a stupid cow in the English style." ”
This is Roger? Gloucester's bale continued, "Get out of here, you're just a wretched worm." ”
"I thought it was? It turns out that a small character can be so arrogant this year. And look at your suitors, what kind of crooked melons and cracked dates. "Albert came to scold Huai, and he was spraying Anne on the surface? Smith, but in fact he is scolding Roger? Gloucester.
Hear Albert's taunts, Roger? Gloucester almost rushed up to fight Albert, but was defeated by Annie? Smith cut off a sharp look. Thinking that he was going to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor in front of Anne, he cursed indignantly, "There is no coward. ”
"I don't care what your Gloucester background is, but if you want to be provocative, you'd better ask Saxe-Coburg and the Gotha family if they want to." Albert's aura suddenly changed from cowardice just now to a strong superior. Especially when it comes to Saxony and the Gotha family, it makes the playboy take a step back.
"You're Belgian royal?" Roger, who knows a thing or two about the life of the European aristocracy? When Gloucester heard the names of the Saxony Coburg and the Gotha family, he was also secretly surprised by Albert's identity. If he is a member of the royal family, it is not something that a miscellaneous nobleman like himself can provoke, at least not himself.
"It seems that this guy has been doing well over the years, and he can learn to think about problems with his brain. I used to think that he was just a straw bale with his brother, not even half of his brother's. "Sister Fan's full Annie? Smith shook his hair and whispered. Thinking of Baudouin, who died in the United States, Anne's mood was depressed. The once elegant Baudouin was the best male god in her mind, but with Baudouin's death, Anne never agreed to any suitor's show of love.
She looked down on Albert before because this guy always likes to use the reputation of the royal family as a shield, but she doesn't know that this kind of shield will be useless if it is used a few times. But obviously, this child is much more mature than before, and he even speaks and acts with a sharp style of a superior person.
"Maybe life will really change a person completely, Albert, and you're getting more and more interesting. I wish you could be a good crown prince like your brother. "Annie? Smith simply crossed his arms and watched the excitement. She stared at Albert's stiff face, and suddenly she saw Baudouin's shadow.
The gentle boy who climbed trees and picked flowers for her in the garden has been dead for five years now. (To be continued......)
