"Talk? What to talk about? Xiao Zhenlei said angrily: "You British have no sincerity at all, you just want to take advantage of us, Lao Tzu is not stupid, why let you take advantage?" I sue you, Zhu Erdian, the current Britain is no longer the world boss, the Germans have stripped you British skirts, and you still want to use the majesty of the world boss to force our country to submit, so that you can take advantage of it in vain? Dream! The Chinese dollar must circulate freely in the sterling area, and the exchange rate between the Chinese dollar and the British pound must be allowed to float freely by the market. When you return, you may report my words to you, the King, the Prime Minister, and the Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom, word for word, and you must compromise on this matter."

France has been defeated by Germany, and all the industries such as factories and shipyards in France have fallen into the hands of the Germans, and in terms of manufacturing, Germany has surpassed Britain, and it can be said that the Entente is completely dependent on Britain alone.

Zhu Erdian's face turned blue and white for a while, and he changed for a long time before he said: "Okay, Your Excellency, I will report this matter to our King, Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary, I hope you can give us some time!" In addition, I came to see you this time, there is one more thing to negotiate with you, our government hopes to be able to buy your country's aircraft manufacturing technology, now the German army is too strong, we only have the upper hand in the navy, in Europe, aircraft can not be fully used in combat, at least in terms of speed and range to combat play little help, and the technology of installing weapons on aircraft has not yet made a breakthrough, but your country is far ahead of us in these aspects, so our country hopes to introduce your country's aircraft manufacturing technology! ”

Xiao Zhenlei heard this, and his mind was running at high speed. The most important thing in the aircraft is the research technology of the engine and airframe materials, and then the aircraft model design. this period. The speed of European airplanes is only 123 kilometers per hour, which is too slow. But with the development of the war, the Entente and the Central Powers are committed to the study of aircraft technology, in another time and space history, by the end of World War I, the flight speed of European aircraft reached about 220 kilometers per hour, and this flight speed is only equivalent to the flight speed of China's first-generation fighters, even if China does not sell aircraft manufacturing technology, Europe will develop because of the war.

Xiao Zhenlei thought about it, rather than letting the British and Germans study it themselves. It is better to sell them a batch of first-generation fighters that have been eliminated now, and the machine-gun fire coordinator will soon be invented by the Germans, and if it is sold again by that time, Britain and Germany will certainly not be rare, and selling it now can be sold for a lot of money.

Technology cannot be sold, but airplanes can be sold, and the fighters that can now be used in air operations are what both Germany and Britain want, if it were not for the fact that China had already formed an alliance with the Entente, the Germans would have come to the door long ago to ask for the purchase of fighters. Moreover, the Germans and the British did not send spies to steal confidential technical information in private, but because the Chinese counterintelligence department was too powerful, the intelligence personnel of the British and German units did not succeed.

After thinking about this clearly, Xiao Zhenlei shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, Minister." Aircraft manufacturing technology is currently the highest core technology in our country, and we will not sell it anyway! ”

Zhu Erdian didn't expect Xiao Zhenlei's reply to be so simple, he had received instructions from London before he came. It is necessary to find a way to get the Chinese side to sell aircraft manufacturing technology to the British side, if it really can't be done. It is possible to propose to the Chinese side the purchase of a batch of fighter planes, and the price can be discussed. As long as the Chinese side is willing to sell, Britain can pay a certain price.

Zhu Erdian was a little reluctant, and he asked: "Your Excellency, is it really not good?" If there are any conditions that you can put forward, we can discuss them, and you also know that now our Entente side and your country are allies, and if we are defeated, the next Allied country will come to deal with you! ”

Xiao Zhenlei thought in his heart that the first-generation fighter technology could be sold, but not to the British, and with the manufacturing capacity of the British, thousands of fighter planes would soon be built, and if they wanted to be sold, they would also be sold to the Germans, so that the Germans could create a large number of fighter planes to fight the British and put the British to death. The stronger the Germans, the more severe the weakening of the British and American countries, this is what Xiao Zhenlei wants to see, he does not want the Entente to win so easily, he does not want the Americans to stay out of the matter, and let the Germans burn the war on the United States.

Regarding Zhu Erdian's words, Xiao Zhenlei shook his head directly and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Minister, aircraft manufacturing technology can't be sold, this can't be discussed, in other fields of science and technology, compared with your country, France, Germany and the United States, China has no advantages at all, China only leads the world in technology in the field of aircraft manufacturing, we don't want to be enslaved and invaded again!" ”

In fact, in terms of aircraft manufacturing technology in this period, the technical content is not very high, because in another year or two, the aircraft manufacturing technology of Britain and Germany and other countries can reach the level of China's first-generation fighter jets, and if the fighters are sold to the British at this time, Britain will use its own very strong technical strength to study China's first-generation fighters, and I believe that it will be able to overcome some technical difficulties within half a year, so as to master the first-generation fighter manufacturing technology.

Half a year is enough for Germany, Xiao Zhenlei is ready to immediately start the plan, send intelligence personnel to secretly contact the German side, and sell the relevant manufacturing technical data of the first generation fighter to Germany at a high price, Germany now has its own aircraft manufacturing technology is very good, if there is a detailed technical information on the manufacture of the first generation of fighters, I believe that it can be put into production immediately, and within half a year it will produce enough air power to make the British fearful.

After selling the aircraft manufacturing technology to Germany, it may bring some trouble to its own army in the future war against Germany, but these troubles are nothing equivalent to using Germany's hand to weaken the strength of Britain, France, the United States and other countries, if the Entente side easily defeated Germany, then these countries still have strong strength after the war, and they will definitely still target China, and they also want to continue to implement a colonial policy against China, and want to continue to interfere in China's internal affairs, which Xiao Zhenlei absolutely does not allow.

Seeing Xiao Zhenlei's firm attitude, Zhu Erdian could only retreat to the next best, and hurriedly said: "Since your country can't sell technology, can you sell a batch of fighter jets to my country?" I also ask Your Excellency the President to agree to this in any case, that without advanced aircraft, we will not be able to suppress Germany in the air, and we will definitely not let your country suffer in terms of price! ”

Suffer? If you make me suffer, I won't sell it to you! Xiao Zhenlei muttered in his heart, thought for a moment and said: "It's not impossible to sell a batch of fighters to your country, but this is conditional, and the price will be handed over to our country's diplomatic department and the military to jointly negotiate with your country. Second, the number of aircraft purchased by your country must be more than 300 aircraft! ”

Zhu Erdian's face changed, and he quickly returned to normal, he had already thought of these questions that Xiao Zhenlei said before he came, the first condition needed a domestic answer, and now he couldn't call the shots, and the second condition, he thought it was inevitable, it was impossible for the Chinese side to sell only one fighter to the British, since this deal was mentioned on the table, the Chinese side also planned to sell fighter jets, and it was bound to make a lot of money in this business, and Britain wanted to get the Chinese fighter and crack the manufacturing technology from it, You have to endure the pain and get a knife.

Zhu Erdian weighed for a moment and said: "Your Excellency, your first condition is the same as the previous arms deal, and I can't make the decision on this condition, but I believe that after I report your conditions to China, London will definitely have a reply soon, your second condition, the number is a bit too much, can it be less?" ”

Want less? Xiao Zhenlei pouted secretly, he wanted to sell a thousand just now, but he also knew that the British would definitely not be willing but such a big wrong, if they sold it to three hundred, it is estimated that they can barely accept it, and now there are about three hundred first-generation fighters in China, leaving a few as training aircraft and commemorative aircraft, and the others can be sold, anyway, this first-generation fighter is equivalent to the current third-generation fighter in Huaguo, which is outdated, and the fighters that the pilots train are already the second generation, The first generation of the first generation in the hangar still needs to waste a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to maintain and maintain, it is a pity to dismantle, it is really not cost-effective, so it is the best way to sell them all.

Xiao Zhenlei shook his head and said: "It can't be less, if your family can't swallow these planes, you can drag the French government-in-exile or other Entente countries to buy them together, as for how you distribute it, it's your own business!" ”

Three hundred planes, Zhu Erdian had this authority, besides, if these planes were transported back to London, as soon as they were assembled, they could immediately go into battle and suppress the Germans in the air, and the British were already very annoyed by the bombing of the German airships.

Zhu Erdian pondered in his heart for several minutes before he made up his mind, and he said, "Okay, what about the price?" How long does it take for your country to complete the transaction? ”

Xiao Zhenlei shrugged and said, "Didn't I say it just now? In this regard, our diplomatic department and the military will jointly negotiate and consult with your country, and I do not have the time or energy to ask for the specific details! ”

Zhu Erdian also shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said, "Okay then, but I hope to start negotiations as much as possible!" ”

"Then we have to wait until your country agrees to the conditions I proposed!" (To be continued......)
