Chapter 472: Strange Reactions of States
readx;
"Yesterday the BAE company suddenly put forward an order for 305 Raytheon, of which 120 were used by the United Kingdom, 130 by France, and 25 by Spain and Italy. At the same time www.biquge.info European Aeronautical Defence and Space Corporation has asked for an increase in the supply of super-energy metal batteries, the quantity of which is 370 tons. Sun Xian sat aside and reported to Su Ming seriously.
"Why did you suddenly increase so much before, and there was no wind at all?" Su Ming felt very strange, such a big movement, it stands to reason that he should have revealed a little news to himself in advance, but he didn't receive any news at all, could it be said that he made a decision suddenly?
Two hundred and fifty Raytheon is far beyond Britain's needs, unless they are ready to withdraw the Harrier fighters from the aircraft carrier, and the same is true for Spain and Italy, like the French contract is not unexpected by Su Ming, after the relations between the two sides eased, the French side proposed to prepare to increase the number of Thundertheon in their only "Daigault" nuclear-powered aircraft carrier formation, to make up for the low number of Rafale fighters and Super Flag attack planes.
The aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle has been launched for six or seven years, and it has not been able to join the active service for a long time, in addition to the lack of fighters on board, the French have always shown their eyes and hands on this aircraft carrier, and after launching, they found that too much equipment was added to it, and the aircraft carrier exceeded the design weight, resulting in insufficient thrust of the nuclear reactor, unable to reach the maximum design speed, and ambitiously prepared to study carrier-based early warning aircraft and steam catapults, but found that the technical difficulty was far beyond their imagination, and finally had to say good things to the Americans, Catapults and E-2C AWACS aircraft were purchased from the United States at a high price.
The same is true on Thor, obviously they have already obtained the analysis of Thor's operations at sea on the Spanish side, and they are very interested in this thing, because the super military flag attack aircraft configured by his aircraft carrier formation is not superior to Thor in terms of flight speed, combat radius or bomb load, but it is far higher than Thor in terms of price and maintenance support, and at the same time, it is far behind Thor in terms of mobility and air defense operations, but the French just did not take the initiative to come to Su Ming to negotiate, but hinted through others that Su Ming would find them first, The arrogant surname can be seen.
Su Ming didn't eat their set, and it wasn't until later, after Su Ming handed over the right to sell Thor to the European market to the BAE company, he ignored them, anyway, he made the same money, and Su Ming didn't bother to negotiate with those French people who had their heads up to the sky.
The French procrastinate in the negotiation style is very serious, not to mention late arrival and early departure, the negotiation process also likes to take care of him, as if not this can not prove their romance, even if the negotiation is over, entering the formal procurement link is also a very troublesome project, and dealing with various French political axe departments is more troublesome than dealing with Chinese political axes.
But why didn't any news come out this time, and entered the substantive surname procurement link? Su Ming felt very strange, there must be something that he didn't understand, and the European Aviation Defense and Space Company purchased more than 300 tons of super metal batteries, what are you going to do, the research that has been completed over there is to arrange this kind of battery on submarines, and this time more than 300 tons are purchased, which is enough to install on more than a dozen submarines, what is this for? Ready for war?
However, someone is willing to send money to himself, what is he not willing to do, after Su Ming signed the agreement on those purchase agreements, he asked Sun Xian if he had heard any rumors, but Sun Xian didn't notice this, and made a special call to Qi Haiyun, but there was still no answer.
At this time, Qi Haiyun suddenly said that Li Qinghua had just called to find Sun Xian, and after hearing that Sun Xian had arrived in Namibia, he said that he would personally go to Dream City, and there were important things to discuss, so that the two of them should not run around and wait for him here.
Su Ming and Sun Xian glanced at each other, Li Qinghua personally dispatched, it must be related to military procurement, and it must be a huge amount, otherwise it would not be about him A minister of general armament came forward, and the two of them suddenly wondered, what is going on? Why didn't there be any information, but it felt like something was going to happen?
The two were exchanging their thoughts, guessing what was going on, and suddenly Putin called again, he didn't come for procurement, but he wanted to borrow a 10 billion dollar loan from the African Standard Bank, with the European gas contract for the next ten years as a guarantee, Su Ming hummed and dealt with him, while calculating whether the business was suitable.
Ten billion dollars is not a problem for Standard Bank Africa, the key is that Russia's credibility is not reassuring, and from time to time there is some news that it is ready to default, but if it is really willing to use the European gas contract as a guarantee, this business can be done.
European natural gas contracts are tens of billions a year, and Russia's profits are only about two or three billion dollars, and ten years of income, even if there are fluctuations, are enough to repay the ten billion dollars, but what puzzles Su Ming is that Russia's state finance is basically counting on this natural gas revenue, without this income, how can they live?
It's very weird, Su Ming feels more and more strange, why are these big countries so weird recently, they are moving again and again, but they are confusing, you say that it is understandable that European countries are strengthening their armaments, and what are Russian loans going to do? And does this have anything to do with China? What is Li Qinghua doing here?
Su Ming was very strange, and hurriedly inquired around through his own contacts and intelligence network, but found nothing, it seems that this news is still very hidden, but Su Ming heard an intelligence from the BAE company, at present, Britain is preparing to increase the procurement of strategic materials, including conventional firearms, ammunition, military clothing, portable military food, and medicines. At the same time, Su Shi also has to prepare for the preliminary work.
After Su Ming heard this, he directly asked the other party to transfer two million dollars in intelligence fees and activity fees, these categories have production capacity in addition to drugs, and these are all low-end products, the UK has long had no production capacity, and it must be purchased externally, and Su has a good cooperative relationship with the British Ministry of Defense.
These things don't look at the meager profits, but the quantity is huge, although the quality of military materials is relatively strict, but also has the advantage of fast payment, it is said that this batch of purchase agreements is as much as two billion pounds, even if it can't all fall into the hands of the Su family, more than half should be no problem.
In the procurement of this kind of materials, it is generally two companies to get the contract, and then according to the proportional supply, if it is handed over to one company, in case the company has a problem, the consequences are unimaginable, and to hand over to two companies, it is also fair, and at the same time can appease the two interest organizations.
As soon as it was arranged, Su Ming suddenly had a whim, Britain increased the procurement of strategic materials, will other European countries do the same, Su Ming contacted Wiegman again, Wiegman admitted that Germany is also carrying out similar work, but the bidding process has begun, and Wiegman also advised Su Ming not to get involved in this matter, Su Shi is unlikely to get this procurement agreement.
Listening to Wiegman's words, Su Ming recalled that Wiegman seemed to have said something similar before, it seems that the German Ministry of Defense has become wary of itself, at least it has been excluded, no, you can't let go of this business so in vain, you have helped those people for so long, and occasionally funded them a little, it's time to ask for returns.
Because the two sides have always cooperated very well, the hedge fund has been transferred from the Union Bank of Switzerland to the African Standard Bank, and Su Shi also took out some money from time to time to fund them, the person in charge of the research society expressed to Su Ming many times, hoping to repay Su Shi for the help they gave, although he did not disclose how they developed, but from his words, it can still be heard that in Germany, there is still a certain amount of power.
Although this matter was a thread drawn by Wiegman, the later contact did not pass through him, but Su Shi's land in Germany is developing very well, and he doesn't need their help, Su Ming has not agreed, and now that Germany has the power to squeeze out Su's family, it is time for these people to contribute to themselves.
Su Ming urgently contacted the person in charge, this guy is ostensibly a professor at the Bundeswehr Command College, conducting research on war theory, but in fact he has great influence in the military, especially many of his war theories, which are rarely welcomed by grassroots officers, but he does not teach, only buries himself in research, which makes him not so conspicuous.
After listening to Su Ming's request, this guy readily agreed, Su Shi has helped them for so long for free, and it is due to ask for a return, and it is only a commercial return, and it has nothing to do with the interests of the country, what is not going to happen, soon this guy replied to Su Ming, saying that a colonel who is now in charge of the bidding for these materials happens to be their person, and hopes that Su Shi can provide materials as soon as possible, and it is still in time.
As soon as Su Ming arranged these things, Li Qinghua rushed over, Su Ming originally wanted to go to the airport to greet him, but Sun Xian didn't have to let him go, Sun Xian meant: Li Qinghua must have come to get our cheapness, don't be so enthusiastic about him, just let me go.
