After saying this, the two of them sat on their sides and did not speak again for a while.

Chang Haonan picked up the teapot and wanted to pour water for the two again.

only to find that it was empty.

I had to get up and get a thermos from the table a little farther away and refill the teapot.

In a huge office, there was a somewhat oppressive silence.

As Ding Gaoheng just said.

Both of them are techies at the end of the day.

There is a limit to what can be done.

Huaxia is still in the stage where it must be kept in obscurity.

There is also a limit to what can be done.

Allowing compatriots to protect themselves has been the result of Chang Haonan's special efforts for nearly two years.

As for the tragedy of the whole country at a higher level, which everyone could have predicted.

Only love can't help.

It's a pity.

At this point in time in the late 90s.

power, not in the hands of civilized nations.

So there's really little point in continuing on this topic.

It's just a matter of adding to some useless sadness.

……

The two of them drank two cups of tea wordlessly.

Only this time, it was Chang Haonan who broke the silence first.

After all, he had already experienced what happened next.

And no matter how bad the situation is now, it can't be worse than in the previous life.

As a result, the psychological burden and stress are much less.

"Although it is impossible for our official institutions to evacuate in order to express their attitude, in this situation, should we consider evacuating the overseas Chinese in advance?"

Chang Haonan rubbed the edge of the teacup with his right hand and said:

"Otherwise, if a conflict breaks out and the sea and air are blocked, it will be difficult to come up with it."

In the original timeline, because the Chinese side was almost unprepared for Allied operations, it was not until mid-April that about 200 expatriates were evacuated overland to Romania by land.

Now that we have known the relevant information in advance, we can naturally be more relaxed.

"Since the beginning of the year, the relevant departments have been doing this one after another."

Ding Gaoheng nodded and replied:

"It's just that because NATO's build-up of troops is not public information, and we also obtained it through special channels, so, in order to protect the source of intelligence, we can't do too much, so we can only knock on the side one by one."

"Fortunately, there are not many Chinese people in the south at present, and the Spring Festival is approaching soon, so it will not be too abrupt to send them back in batches, and they should be able to withdraw eight or nine without leaving ten."

"But if we really can't move, or if we explicitly refuse to come back, we can't do anything."

Chang Haonan is not a virgin, and when things have come to this point, he has done his best to the point of benevolence, and it is unrealistic to ask for more.

What he is more interested in is the "special intelligence channel" in Ding Gaoheng's mouth:

"We are in Europe...... And intelligence activities? ”

Obviously, this is the core reason why you can know each other's movements in advance, rather than being ignorant as in the past.

Ding Gaoheng nodded:

"I don't really know much about too specific things, this is under the jurisdiction of the Intelligence Bureau of the General Staff, but in the past two years, the frequency of news updates over there is indeed much faster than before, especially in Britain and France, I suspect that there are some things, Downing Street may not be able to know before us......"

"I don't know exactly how we did that, but I guess it's largely due to the fact that we're getting closer to Europe and, of course, the Russians, and that's making it easier to carry out some of our activities than in the past."

"You are like science and technology-related intelligence, in the past, only Western countries sent engineers to our company, which must be one-way and transparent, but now, because of your kid, our engineers can also be stationed on their side, so naturally there will be back and ......forth."

Gotcha, go around and around, and go back to Chang Haonan's side.

However, it is true that the vast majority of intelligence activities are carried out under the cloak of legality and in a completely open form.

It is an extremely rare operation to make a dark pile like the Cambridge Five Masters or George Black.

Therefore, to say that there is a credit to him in this, it is not a forced honor.

After taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat, Ding Gaoheng continued:

"But there are two sides to this kind of thing, and after getting closer to these European countries, some things will inevitably have more concerns......

"How?"

Chang Haonan helped the other party fill the tea again, and he was distracted by listening to the story.

Otherwise, if you end the conversation now, go home or go to dinner, it is estimated that your mood will be affected for a long time.

"Actually, it's nothing, it happened at the second Xiangzhou Air Show last year."

Ding Gaoheng may have felt that he was a little too drunk, so this time he didn't go to serve the teacup immediately, but leaned back on the back of the sofa:

"This year's exhibits are actually no different from the last time, if you have to say it, there is an additional coach 9 of Guihang Industry, and an AC139 helicopter prototype produced by Agusta overtime, but thanks to the movement in the past two years, there are many more customers who want to buy planes than in 96......"

As the person in charge of the entire aviation manufacturing industry, when talking about the Xiangzhou Air Show, his mood has also recovered from a little depression just now:

"In the end, the organizers reported that the total turnover was nearly 30 times higher than that of the first session......"

"30 times! So much? ”

In November last year, Chang Haonan happened to be busy in Fucheng and hit the back of his head, so he had to pay attention to the Xiangzhou Air Show, which had few highlights. Therefore, when he heard this number, he was also shocked, and almost spilled the tea in his hand.

Although the progress is particularly fast because the starting point is very low, the 30-fold increase is still quite scary no matter how low the starting point is......

"yes......"

Ding Gaoheng had estimated Chang Haonan's reaction just now, and at this moment, he naturally had an expression of "You kid was finally scared that day", and replied with a smile on his face:

"This is still because we took into account the international impact and pressed an order."

"At that time, Argentina wanted to trade 18 J-7F fighters in the form of barter for minerals and agricultural products. But you know, the situation over there is more complicated, and this kind of arms sales is likely to hit the pain points of the British. ”

"So...... Considering that we currently have a relatively close relationship with the UK, we did not directly agree to this deal at that time, and we were stuck in the approval process. ”

Arms sales are rarely purely commercial.

There are other aspects of impact that need to be considered.

For example, in Project No. 11, Sukhoi demanded that Huaxia not export Su-27 and its derivatives to third countries in any form.

In exchange, the Sukhoi Group's Sukhoi Group's Sukhoi upgraded version of the Su-27 must meet the principle of conflict avoidance if it is directly included in the technology jointly developed by the two parties within the framework of Project 11.

That is, it cannot be exported to countries that have a direct conflict with China.

For example, the Su-27SM2/Su-30M2 aircraft, which uses the same second-stage upgraded airframe as the J-11B, cannot be exported to a large country in South Asia.

However, the Su-27SM/Su-30MK, which only uses a one-stage upgrade body, is not affected by this.

There is no fixed law for this kind of thing, and it purely depends on the relationship between the parties involved and the comparison of national strength.

In short, arms sales to Afghanistan are certainly not as important as maintaining relations with Britain.

However, Chang Haonan quickly thought of a good idea:

"Actually...... It's not necessarily that you can't trade. ”

"Anyway, everyone knows, including the British, that the Afghan army bought the plane just to give an explanation to the country, and it doesn't really want to re-establish itself and do anything."

"In the same way, the British may raise concerns or protests, but only to give them an account at home, and they are not really to stop us from selling planes."

Ding Gaoheng nodded, obviously agreeing with Chang Haonan's analysis.

Most countries don't buy weapons for war.

Argentina is naturally one of them.

"In that case, let the other side release the word first, saying that they are going to buy the FBC1 Flying Leopard fighter-bomber, and then start negotiating with us to stimulate the British."

"Wait for a while, and then change the military sales model from the Flying Leopard back to the J-7, and give them an explanation. In this way, we made money, the Argentines bought the plane, and the British also gained face, a win-win. ”

Chang Haonan's thought made Ding Gaoheng smile.

Obviously, not only Chinese people, but people all over the world like to compromise.

Therefore, Mr. Lu Xun's roof lifting theory is indeed useful.

"I can talk to the aeronautical side about this idea later."

Ding Gaoheng sat up straight again and held the teacup in his hand:

"But whether or not to do this depends on their judgment, anyway, 18 second-generation and a half aircraft, less than $50 million in total amount, is not a big order, it may not be worth such a big fight......

"You are like the biggest deal of this air show, Turkish Aerospace is ready to introduce a full set of AC139 helicopter-related technology to produce its own helicopters, and the upfront payment alone is 1.5 billion US dollars, which is 30 times the amount of that little fight......"

“……”

The two chatted with each other, almost oblivious to the passage of time.

By the time all the topics we could talk about were over, it was almost evening.

"That's right, Xiao Chang."

Just as Chang Haonan was about to leave, Ding Gaoheng stood up and stopped him:

"You haven't lived in the capital before, so there's something I haven't had time to say yet."

"Considering the completion of the turbofan 10 and the heavy-duty die forging press, your security has now been raised by the higher-ups."

"Huh?"

This is what Chang Haonan didn't expect:

"That'...... It can't be that there are a few more bodyguards, right? ”

Being protected sounds handsome, but it's actually very troublesome to be restricted everywhere.

He had just become acquainted with a Zhu Yadan, and he really didn't want more people to come.

Fortunately, Ding Gaoheng didn't mean this:

"No, too many personal bodyguards will also affect the normal life of the protected object, so one Xiao Zhu is enough."

"But with your current situation, it is definitely not appropriate to continue to live in the faculty dormitory provided by Jinghang University, that place is an open community, almost anyone can enter it, even if you are not afraid, we have to worry."

Chang Haonan thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he asked:

"Director Nadin, what do you mean ......?"

"I applied for a set of official housing for you according to the standards of the deputy director of the Commission of Science and Technology."

Ding Gaoheng is directly a surprising statement:

"It's not far from my house, and you should have remembered it the last time you went to eat."

"There is security in the area over there, so it doesn't matter how strict the close security is, and we can rest assured......"
