The American general barrel listened to the report of his subordinates and felt very bored.

"Okay, you mean, the performance of our eighth-generation mecha is still a little worse than the Chinese one? Small mecha technology, also a little worse? ”

"What do those companies do, invest more R&D funds, haven't I already signed a general bucket order to give them tax cuts, and they know to put money in their pockets!"

With better products, you can make more money, don't you understand this truth?

The United States has always insisted on handing over the production of mecha to some enterprises, which is completely different from the production of state-owned enterprises on the Chinese side. In the early years, the technology on their side was not bad, and there were many technologies that were leading.

But since the Chinese side hibernated for nearly five years and directly came up with the eighth-generation mecha technology, the United States has lagged behind.

Now the Chinese side is not only selling the sixth-generation mecha to the outside world, but also accepting orders for the seventh-generation mecha. Some countries with money but no technology have ordered from China.

And the seventh generation of the United States is the strongest technology, naturally they will not take it out and sell it, they worked hard to develop the eighth generation of technology, but found that the performance is still a lot worse.

Without the most powerful equipment, how can they be guaranteed to be the most powerful country? Now many countries have fallen to the Chinese side, and I am afraid that the hat of their first power will be taken off.

"Mr. Barrel, it's not that those companies are reluctant to invest, but that the technical barriers are not so easy to break. PPDC exists in name only, many technical exchanges have stopped, many companies on our side have united, and there is definitely a lot of R&D funds invested, but there is still a gap in performance. ”

"However, some companies on our side have improved the exoskeleton armor, and the performance has increased by 17% compared to before, which is definitely leading the world."

"For most countries, mechs are very expensive, and they don't buy too much, even small mechs, they don't buy much. But exoskeleton armor, this one is more purchased. ”

"When the time comes, the whole world will use our exoskeleton armor, and we will not make less money, and our influence will not decline."

The barrel's eyes lit up: "Really?" There are still smart people, bring them to me and take a look. This time I happened to visit Europe, and by the way, I would like to help sell these exoskeleton armors and let them know that we in the United States are still the number one power in the world! ”

Giant mechas, which are equivalent to nuclear weapons, can only be used for deterrence, and no one will really use this to fight. Otherwise, it will lead to a big scuffle, and the consequences will be unpredictable.

But exoskeleton armor is different, it is suitable for many ordinary soldiers, which is the easiest to promote and the easiest to sell.

That night, the total barrel took a special plane to Europe.

Early the next morning, he met with the leaders of a certain European country and talked about some economic cooperation, and then talked about armaments.

"Blake, as good friends between our two countries, I have decided to give priority to our new exoskeleton armor to be sold to you, and the price can be discounted, which will definitely help you improve your military strength."

"In this way, when performing the mission, we can reduce the casualties of the soldiers and complete the task faster, for this, I have talked to the heads of our enterprises over there, and they are not willing to reduce the price at first."

"Exoskeleton armor? Forget it, we've already sourced from other countries. Blake looked at the data on the list and pushed it back.

"What do you mean? Someone better than ours? Our price is also very cheap, if you don't buy it, you won't be able to buy it next time. ”

"I really don't need to, I said, we buy from other countries. In terms of performance, it's about 20% stronger than yours, and the price is the same as yours. ”

"Impossible!" "We have been researched for many years, and we use the latest technology, and we have the latest production equipment, and no one can do what you said!" ”

"There really is someone who can, as a friend, I will show you the parameter table of China's individual armor."

The United States has a look at the barrel, is this parameter true? The performance is twenty percent better than theirs, and the price is the same. Even if they reduce the price, I'm afraid Blake won't buy it, there are better ones, who buys the bad ones, and they will be eliminated in two or three years?

What makes him even more nervous is that the Chinese side has taken out this kind of armor and sold it, which shows that the Chinese side has better individual armor technology, is it not only in terms of mechas, but even in terms of individual armor, they are so much worse than the Chinese side?

"What about the plane, our new fighter can be sold to your country, are you interested?"

Blake shook his head again: "We also purchased from the Chinese side." Their new Raptor fighter jets are extremely cost-effective, we have ordered thirty of them, as well as thirty helicopter gunships, ten transport aircraft, three airborne AWACS aircraft, five patrol aircraft, and we are just preparing for a comprehensive upgrade of military equipment. ”

"By the way, we ordered new armored vehicles, tanks, etc., with a total value of only 200 billion RMB, and then sold some of the equipment we eliminated to some small countries, which is enough for only 100 billion RMB."

The American barrel was dumbfounded, so he didn't sell anything on this trip? And the orders have been robbed by the Chinese side, so wouldn't some of the products he asked those companies to produce in advance be backlogged?

Oops, it seems that one of the Chinese people also visited Europe a few days ago, should all those countries be sold!

A week later, the American head keg returned to Washington from his visit to Europe full of disappointment.

How so? How can China's military equipment be upgraded so much? Although many of them are ordered and not in stock, it at least proves that China's technology is ahead of them.

Isn't it always them who are technologically advanced? Every year, relying on the sale of military equipment, it can bring back a large amount of profits. Now they can only sell some worthless gadgets, which is a very big blow to many businesses.

He also relied on the support of those companies to get to power, if those companies have problems, let alone be re-elected, I am afraid that this term will not reach the end of the term and will step down.

Why didn't their agents on the Chinese side send back this news? And don't those companies have commercial swords in China, why haven't they got new technologies?

At the same time, the high-level Chinese officials were also in a meeting, and they were all smiling.

"The technology taken out of the Sichuan and Shu base is still second-rate, and it is already leading the world, and our country's military equipment will occupy the global market in the future, and it can also ensure that we have always been in a leading position."

"This is the dream of many people and how many years has come true in our generation. But speaking of which, it's all thanks to General Fan, you say, do you want to give him some more rewards? Someone suggested.

"No, last time I talked to General Fan and asked him what he wanted, and he said no. He is not short of money, he is not short of fame, and because of his own reasons, he does not want to move to a higher position. ”

"When we need it, he's just like he did last time with the monsters. He sincerely hopes that the country will be strong, and we will work together to fulfill the dream of all Chinese people, so that we can truly stand on top of the world! ”
