Chapter 152: Sleepless Nights
Due to the different time differences, Zhang Feng, who came to Paris for the first time, did not fall asleep, he was always thinking about things, and he had already slept on the plane, Zhang Feng spent the first night in Paris over and over in that comfortable big bed.
It was destined to be a sleepless night, and in addition to Zhang Feng, there were some people who were looking up at the sky of Paris.
In a huge villa on the outskirts of Paris, the founder of Dassault Systèmes, Marcel Dassault, is in front of the window, gazing at the dark night sky.
Born in Paris, France in 1892, Marcel Dassault graduated in 1913 from the fledgling École Supérieure des Aeronautics, where he worked as a propeller designer. The two world wars brought him both opportunities and disasters, and in World War II, he was imprisoned in a concentration camp for refusing to cooperate with the Nazis. After many twists and turns, after World War II, the company led by Dassault developed rapidly. Starting with the MD.315 "Flamingo" twin-engine light transport aircraft and trainer aircraft, the "Hurricane" fighter-bomber, the "Mysterious" fighter, the "Mysterious" B2 fighter, Europe's first "Super Mysterious" fighter that exceeds the speed of sound in level flight, the "Military Flag" and "Super Military Flag" carrier-based attack aircraft, the famous "Mirage" series of fighters, and the "Falcon" administrative aircraft, have been developed one after another.
Now, although he is nearly 90 years old, he can still work out various parameters and discuss the progress of aircraft development at the front line of aircraft design.
The Iraqi expedition is here again, this time, will they still choose the Mirage F1? Dassault was thinking quietly, the Qusai kid in Iraq actually said that he moved the United States and exported the F-20 to them, and the surname of this fighter is definitely better than the Mirage F1.
In the arms export market, American-made weapons will always come first, and the advantage of legal-made weapons is that they do not have any political conditions attached, but they will be much more expensive than American-made weapons.
Because the United States has deep pockets, it has quite a lot of domestic equipment, and after the quantity reaches a certain level, it will offset the cost of research and development. And French weapons, due to the small quantities produced, had to increase the unit price.
Even so, it was better than the crude weapons of the Soviet Union, which is why French weapons were successfully exported to several countries.
The Mirage 4000 was developed entirely at the company's own expense, so the pressure on the company was very high, and this time the Iraqi delegation came, and they must be asked to order a batch of Dassault fighter jets.
Originally, after the Mirage F1 was exported, Dassault thought that Iraq would continue to increase orders, after all, this fighter can resist the Tomcat of the Iranians to a certain extent, and the price is not very expensive, and it is fully capable of the mission in Iraq.
It's just that with the export of the American F-20, the prospects for such fighters suddenly became dim.
Because, Iraq is not buying a fighter, but buying it together with its production line! This is definitely the first time in Iraq.
The purchase of the production line means that they will be massively equipped with such fighters, so, is there any hope for the Mirage F1? Dassault already felt that something was wrong.
Since the two Irans were during the war, Dassault attached great importance to the performance of the Mirage fighter in Iraq, which is the best publicity, even if the next Tomcat comes, it will make the Mirage F1 famous.
It's a pity that the Mirage F1 has only been equipped with Iraq for a year, and although it has begun to cruise with combat readiness, it has not yet had a decent record, but it is the old-fashioned MiG-23 of the Soviet Union, which has beaten down a Tomcat and made countless experts fall through the glasses.
So, what to use to attract the Iraqi expedition? It seems that only the Mirage 2000 will be dispatched, and this kind of aircraft will be exported in the future anyway, although there are still some technical problems that have not been solved.
Thinking of this, Dassault is full of confidence in this sale again.
"Brother, you are really a disgrace to our royal family, when will our Saudi royal family be hunted down and killed in debt?" Sarah looked at Prince Alwalid beside her and said.
"Sarah, you don't know, I don't want to be like other members of our royal family, just eat, drink and have fun every day, spend the money provided by the royal family, I want to make my own money!" Prince Waleed said.
"You make your own money? Borrowing usury from the underworld is also making money? Sarah looked at her brother beside her with disdain, wondering why he had such thoughts: "If you hadn't met us this time, you would have been hacked to death by those underworlds on the streets." ”
Prince Waleed's face flushed slightly when he heard Sarah say this, and he returned to normal again: "Sarah, tell me, how did you come to the Iraqi expedition?" Or is it Qusay who leads the team? ”
Waleed really caught Sarah's weakness, and when Sarah heard this, she immediately looked embarrassed: "I just heard that they came to Paris, and I want to go back to Paris to see it!" Besides, His Excellency Qusay is a big hero, so what's wrong with me joining their expedition? ”
Waleed is very familiar with this sister of his, and rarely praises people, it seems that this Lord Qusay, in her heart, is not ordinary!
"So, when Qusay goes back to Iraq, will you go back to Iraq with him, or will you stay in Paris?" Waleed asked.
"Of course you're back in Saudi Arabia, you, what do you mean by that?" Sarah already smelled a hint of intrigue.
Although it was already late at night, the Iraqi ambassador to France still received a call from the headquarters of the Paris police department, and they had already found out that a gangster operation on the street had disturbed the convoy of His Excellency Qusay, the real power figure in Iraq, and they immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Keep him safe.
Nayef received the call, and then he was relieved, although it was just an ordinary street fight tonight, but His Excellency Qusay always likes to rush to the front line, which made him sweat, if something happens to His Excellency Qusay here, he, the ambassador, will do it.
There are several things that Qusay has done at home that have annoyed the Israelis, and the Israeli Mossad, that is pervasive, although this is French territory, if the Mossad is attacked...
If there were no police, he was already thinking about whether to get a batch of weapons and equip those bodyguards, although it violated French law, it was much better than what happened to Cusay.
After dawn, the police had already rushed to the hotel where Zhang Feng was, and from the beginning of this day, Zhang Feng's actions in France became beautiful.
ps: Yesterday the power bureau on the street was repairing a transformer, resulting in a power outage, and it didn't come until more than 12 o'clock in the evening, and the previous chapter was sent by a friend, and yesterday made the book friends wait in a hurry, I'm very sorry.
Two a day is indispensable, although East China does not belong to the category of outbreaks, but stable updates are a must.
Some of the book lovers have advertised the Babylonian Empire in other masterpieces, thank you very much!
