Chapter 352: An Impotence That Can't Be Handled
"I think it was an accident because, as far as I know, Mr. White has been suffering from high blood pressure."
"Maybe it's because he didn't have a good rest last night, so he took blood pressure medicine this morning and at noon."
Moments later, Peter White was carried away on a stretcher by the medical staff, and there was a hospital inside the Red Star Consortium, and he had to be sent to the hospital for a brief examination before deciding on the next step.
But in any case, this matter cannot be blamed on the Red Star Consortium, not to mention the current situation, the two countries are in a "friendly" situation that is gradually beginning to cooperate, so any discordant voices are undesirable existences, and personal lives are not worth mentioning at all in the face of national interests.
Can the United States still terminate cooperation because Peter White was fainted by Wang Ye and even suffered a cerebral hemorrhage? Impossible.
Besides, being angry is a very subjective thing, at least Harry James himself didn't feel angry, so it is theoretically untenable to find trouble with the Red Star Consortium or even this country from this matter, and this is not a small African country, and it is not something that you can scare with a few words.
All in all, whether it is face, there is no room for fermentation in this matter, so Harry James, who is the second person in the expedition, said this directly, which can be regarded as defining this matter, and at the same time, the third person in the expedition next to him, Dick Gavin, the special envoy of the Black Palace, who has been silent, also nodded.
However, his expression is not good-looking, but it is not because of Wang Ye, but because Peter White is too embarrassed!
That's right, Wang Ye's words are indeed very infuriating, but you made yourself stunned, what kind of thing is this?
"Hopefully it's not a big deal."
"I'm sorry that Mr. White had such an accident in our Red Star Consortium."
Hearing Harry James say this, Wang Ye nodded and sighed.
As for Juliet not far away, she bowed her head slightly so that people could not see the changes in her facial expression and eyes, and if someone looked down at her very impolitely at this moment, they would find that Juliet's eyes were trembling with a strong shock.
She never thought that words could be so powerful that they directly stunned Peter White?
After all, Peter White is no ordinary person, not one of those rednecks who gets carried away by anger.
At that moment, she suddenly had a deeper understanding of a phrase she had heard a long time ago, that is, "politics is the art of language".
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look up at Wang Ye, and a different look flashed in her eyes
The head of the delegation fainted, and the visit could only be hastily ended.
After returning to the room, Harry James sat at his desk, looking quite anxious, on the one hand, he was indeed worried about Peter White's health problems, and on the other hand, he was fulfilling his duties as the chief technical adviser and deputy head of the delegation of the Hexagon, and worried about the future influence of the Red Star Behemoth.
Unlike yesterday's Dow, although the Dow of the Red Star Consortium will indeed have a certain impact on the international market of Dow missiles, but from a comprehensive judgment, this impact is relatively limited, first of all, the Dow missile is a relatively backward second-generation anti-tank missile, and it is expected that it will be imitated and competitive, and even the Soviet Union and even this country already have anti-tank missiles competing with Dow in the international arena, and it does not matter if they join a Dow.
Secondly, although the field of anti-tank missiles is very important militarily, it is not so important, for the United States, whether it is Dow's influence on the battlefield in the future, or Dow's share being plundered by the Red Star Consortium, it is actually within an acceptable range.
However, the Red Star Behemoth is different!
And this difference can be divided into two aspects, on the one hand, public opinion and sales, and on the other hand, battlefield influence.
From the perspective of public opinion, if Wang Ye's tank competition is really held, the Red Star Behemoth tank will definitely become popular all over the world at a very fast speed, and it will affect the sales of all tanks in all countries and manufacturers in the world, and even the future sales of M1 tanks in the United States will also be seriously affected.
What's more serious is that if the future M1 tank is sold to other countries, taken to this challenge, and finally pierced by the Red Star Behemoth from the front, it will be equivalent to giving the United States a slap in the face, which is no longer an impact on the American tank industry and arms trade, but on the face and image of the entire United States, which has an extremely bad impact!
And to curb this situation, in Harry James's view, there are only three ways.
The first approach is the most fundamental.
That is to make some kind of secret deal with the Red Star Consortium or with Wang Ye, so that they will give up this tank battle plan, or refuse to participate in the American tank competition for some reason.
In this way, none of those problems will arise.
And there is another added benefit, that is, if the American tanks do not participate, and the European and Soviet tanks do, when these tanks are pierced by the Red Star Behemoth, their reputation will be irreversibly affected, and the American tanks that do not participate can enjoy the benefits of one or the other.
After all, if they sell less, they will vacate a lot of market share, and the Red Star Consortium will eat some of it with the Red Star Behemoth, but there will still be a lot of it flowing to the United States, which will definitely be a lot of benefits.
So this method is the most fundamental and optimal solution.
But the problem is that if you want to reach this deal, with the current understanding of Wang Ye, unless the United States is willing to pay an unimaginably huge price, it is absolutely impossible.
As for the second option, it is the most straightforward.
Just like Wang Ye just said, the development of tanks is the process of "adding more water to the surface, adding more water to the surface", the spear and shield are constantly upgrading, the stronger the artillery, the stronger the armor, the stronger the armor, the stronger the artillery, now that the Red Star Behemoth has strengthened the artillery, the M1 tank should naturally strengthen the armor until it is determined that the Red Star Behemoth cannot penetrate it.
The advantage of this method is that it is hard-hitting, and if it succeeds, the M1 tank naturally enjoys all the advantages of public opinion, and has a strong reputation around the world, and then orders skyrocket.
But the problem is that first of all, you must obtain a sample of the Red Star Behemoth and test the penetration depth of this 130 smoothbore gun to obtain the armor value of absolute insurance, of course, if you have to say this problem, it should not be too difficult, after all, listening to Wang Ye's tone, they are ready to sell this tank to the world and at will, so it's not a big deal.
However, judging from Wang Ye's self-confidence and the current situation, the penetration depth of this 130 caliber smoothbore gun is definitely not shallow, with the current body of the M1 tank, it is impossible to prevent the attack of this gun, so it will definitely be very difficult to strengthen in the future, and even a very fatal problem will appear in the end, that is, the armor is indeed prevented, but the tank is too bloated.
In this way, won't the M1 tank also start to deviate like the Red Star Behemoth?

Even if it is not as good as the Red Star Monster, at least the Red Star Monster still occupies a strong enough attack power, and the strengthened M1 tank is equipped with super thick armor for a 105 caliber smoothbore gun, isn't it pure to become an iron-shelled turtle? If you can't run on the battlefield, you can't fight, what's the effect? Isn't it waste?
But anyway.
Increasing defense is a direction, and there may be a solution in the direction.
Finally, there is the third way.
That is the country that absolutely prohibits the purchase of M1 tanks, and uses M1 tanks to challenge, this plan is actually very easy to do with the current influence of the United States, but the problem is that there is a big trouble, because this is basically equivalent to telling the customer country that our M1 tank can not actually prevent the attack of the Red Star Monster, and you can't use it to challenge.
Although M1's face has been saved, and everyone may endure it silently, the face of the United States has still been lost.
However, these problems of public opinion and sales are actually not the worst.
The worst thing is the influence of the battlefield.
In the future, with the increase in the sales of the Red Star Behemoth, no one can guarantee that the Red Star Behemoth will not meet the M1 tank, if this scene really happens, the M1 tank may be able to form a certain pressure on the Red Star Behemoth with its strong power and advanced observation system, but no one can guarantee that the Red Star Behemoth, which is more backward in other aspects, will not penetrate the M1 tank, will not penetrate the M1 tank on a large scale, and will not affect the direction of the final battle.
The tank, known as the king of land warfare, is stronger in its armor and artillery.
But if one day, an expensive tank is broken many times on the battlefield by a cheap tank, then what is the point of this expensive tank?
This will also lead to the collapse of the reputation of the M1 tank, which in turn will affect the face of the United States.
However, this is also not the worst, the worst thing is that from that day on, every country and even every armed group in the world knows that as long as we have the Red Star Behemoth tank, then we can challenge the American armored forces with soldiers who are not afraid of death, at least from the perspective of tanks, we are not afraid of them.
As we all know, rules are maintained by violence.
When violence is not enough to deter everyone, then the rules cease to exist, and for the United States, the new post-war order that it has worked so hard to build will disappear, which is absolutely not allowed.
Of course, tanks are only a small problem for all the rules, but no one is sure that this will not be a small start.
And so it goes.
The Red Star Behemoth is a tank that actually fully meets the needs of all countries in the world that need tanks, and this demand can basically be divided into two factions.
The first faction, in fact, they have no real war needs, most of the reasons why they buy tanks are just because they need this thing in terms of "face", other countries in the world have national defense, they can't give up national defense, and no one knows if there will be any eventuality, but in the end they have almost no war pressure.
Under such circumstances, they will inevitably choose a tank with a good reputation, a reasonable price, and even a beautiful appearance, so as to achieve a beautiful result that the people, the troops, and everyone are satisfied.
It is clear that the Red Star Behemoth, which has experienced tank battles, fits these criteria very well.
Then the probability of these countries choosing the Red Star Behemoth will be very high.
Second, they have an urgent need for war, such as the current Pakistan, the current Iraq, the current Iran, etc., they need a powerful tank to fight, they also need a powerful tank to contain the other side's powerful tank, and they can hardly get more advanced tanks internationally.
In this way, there will eventually be the kind of result that Wang Ye once said.
That is, the Red Star Behemoth is their only choice, and only by choosing the Red Star Behemoth tank can they possibly cause effective threats and damage to the enemy's third-generation tanks.
Otherwise, they would have to think of other ways to plant mines, anti-tank missiles, or even human flesh to charge.
"Alas"
Finally, Harry James, who was sitting there, couldn't help but let out a long sigh, feeling so depressed that he no longer had the interest of writing down the process of this visit as he did yesterday.
At the same time, he is increasingly worried about a problem.
That is his good friend, the cannon mad demon bull, after the Red Star Behemoth appeared in the world, he will definitely be very interested in this cannon, and then come to this country, meet Wang Ye, and finally be attracted by Wang Ye's personal charm and money ability, and choose to cooperate with Wang Ye in some kind of depth, and finally there is a 1+1>2 effect.
If Boole did come, the consequences would be terrible, and that guy was a real genius.
With his blessing, Harry James had no doubt that the artillery technology of the Red Star Consortium and even this country would take off in an instant, and then in a very short period of time, it would directly reach the world-class level and begin to surpass.
"What should I do? Headache! ”
"Maybe I should take a blood pressure pill too"
At that moment, Harry James sat at his desk and couldn't help but sigh.
"Tuk-tuk."
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and at the same time Juliet's voice came:
"Dr. James, Mr. White is awake, no problem."
