Volume 13 Moral Controversy Chapter 53 High Starting Point
At night, French President Jean El and his country's head Yan Jingyu shared the same thugs every year. After a very distinctive French dinner, the spokesperson of the French Presidential Office announced to the outside world that the two national leaders had discussed several topics of interest at dinner, such as Turkey's post-war reconstruction work, immigration issues in the Kurdistan-occupied areas, cooperation space between the Republic and the EU in the field of international security, etc., and reached a consensus on some important issues. The two sides will hold their first round of formal meetings on the ugly day...
In fact, the first round of formal meetings had already begun that night
In the afternoon of the same day, Pei Chengyi met with the French Minister of Defense and exchanged views on the important topics they had conveyed to each other before, and determined what to talk about first and what to talk about next. After attending a dinner held by the French President in person for visitors in the evening, when the spokesperson of the French Presidential Office appeared in front of the reporter, Pei Chengyi held his first official meeting with the French Minister of Defense.
Because Yan Jingyu's main task in visiting France is to discuss in-depth cooperation with France, the key is that the Republic is willing to transfer some important and sensitive technologies to France. The Republic is responsible for these issues with Deputy Prime Minister of Security, who also serves as the Minister of Defense. Therefore, in the arrangement of activities before the visit, France proposed that the defense ministers of both sides will first meet to increase negotiations through military cooperation, thereby reducing the difficulty of negotiations.
In theory, doing so does indeed reduce the difficulty of negotiations.
You should know that military technology is the most sensitive security technology. If the Republic is willing to strengthen military cooperation with France, then it will not be a big problem to transfer some high-end technologies in the civilian field to France.
Of course, selling arms does not mean military and technical cooperation.
As early as the end of the century, as electronic equipment became more and more important in weapons, its role in war became more and more obvious. Western countries such as the United States, which mastered advanced electronic technology, ensured that advanced technology would not fall into the hands of hostile countries with arms. What is more representative is that the United States provided Pakistan with a group of very advanced thugs, concave companion fighters and supporting weapons and ammunition in the past 1990s. However, during the Afghan War at the beginning of the century, the US Navy launched the
Several "Tomahawk" cruise missiles fired fell into Pakistan due to mechanical failures and fell into the hands of the Republic. Just a few years later, the Republic developed long-range cruise missiles with a appearance similar to the "Tomahawk, and a very close range. Pakistan also "developed independently and developed cruise missiles with a range of hundreds of kilometers. The Republic and Pakistan were able to make breakthroughs in cruise missiles because the key reason for restricting the development of long-range cruise missiles between the Republic and Pakistan is that there is no suitable small turbojet engine, and the electronic equipment and navigation software required for cruise missiles are not much problem.
By the middle of the century, advanced equipment built up with advanced technology was even more difficult to imitate.
Take composite batteries as an example. Not to mention that France cannot imitate them, even the United States cannot imitate them. As early as around the Chinese New Year, the US intelligence agencies obtained some samples of military-grade composite batteries through third parties and found ways to analyze them in detail. Even due to improper operation, several serious accidents that caused serious casualties. Until a coincidence, the United States gave up the method of imitating the Republic's military composite batteries, because facts have proved that the United States cannot imitate the Republic's composite batteries, because the internal mechanism of the composite batteries is too complex and the structural size is atomic. According to the principle of Xue Dingye's inaccurate measurement, any measurement method will cause
Measuring data distortion, so it is impossible to accurately survey and map the internal structure of the composite battery. What the US scientific research institutions can do is to use a spectrometer to analyze the raw material components of the composite battery. The problem is that the composite battery consists of dozens of elements, and on the microscopic scale, there are infinite combinations of elements in a battery cell with only a few micrograms. In the words of American scientists, it is much more difficult to figure out the internal structure of the composite battery produced in the Republic than to reverse compilation. Large programs are much more difficult. You must know that theoretically, it is impossible to obtain the original code of large software through reverse compilation.
In fact, this is what Pei Chengyi and the French Minister of Defense are going to talk about.
At that time, France was definitely not going to need a few light-in weapons.
Shortly after the end of the Indian War, when Britain abstained from the voting, France, Germany, Italy and other countries successfully promoted the EU to abolish the military embargo policy against the Republic and liberalize the arms export controls against the Republic. The problem is that the EU has only contacted the military embargo until this time, and it has no practical significance.
If it were two years ago, the Republic would not only exclaim that it would be happy, but it would even have a comprehensive cooperation with the EU.
You should know that, in the old year before the century, the Republic thought of many ways, hoping that the EU could lift the military embargo. For example, when four people were visiting Europe, the leaders of the Republic announced that they hoped that the leaders of the EU could consider the actual interests of Europe in a realistic manner, make measures that would benefit the people of the European state, and actively promote bilateral cooperation between China and Europe. The leaders of the Republic even made a promise to the French authorities that as long as the EU lifted the military embargo, the Republic's Jianshu Shuan said that as long as the EU lifted the military embargo, the Republic said that it was easy to read the foreign country... Tens of billions of dollars, purchased various weapons and equipment including fighter jets from France and other EU countries, including large ships, including good-for-you-gou.
In fact, as early as the end of the century, the Republic's army sent several senior pilots to France through the Military Intelligence Agency to experience the performance of the "Rawn" fighter jets, and learned about the details of several subsequent development models. When they were about their merits, the Republic's military proposed the idea of purchasing the "Rawn" fighter jets, and stated that they could buy a production license for thugs at the French Air Force purchase price.
For Dassault, this is definitely a life-saving money. You should know that until the production was stopped, the Rafale fighter was unable to win an overseas customer and lost to all competitors in the international fighter market. At that time, the concave fighter developed by many European countries won the orders of the UAE Air Force and had export records. What the French couldn't stand was that before the Rafale, "Phantom Four Phantom Induction, and "Phantom Field, Heart" and many other fighter jets designed and produced by Dassault were not only equipped with the French Air Force, but also sold to dozens of countries. Even the "Super Flag" attack aircraft developed specifically for the French Navy had export records. During the First Cavaliers War, the "Flying Fish" missile used the "Flying Fish" missile to sink British destroyers and transport ships was the "Super Flag" attack aircraft purchased by Argentina from France.
As the French Air Force, the work of the Navy and Dassault, "Rawn" has repeatedly hit a wall in the overseas market, which is definitely something that all French people cannot accept. Under this background, if the "Rawn" can be sold to another major country and exported hundreds of aircraft at one time, it will definitely have immeasurable significance. In fact, even if it does not look at the impact, sales revenue alone is enough to make the French excited. The French Air Force purchased "Rawn" from Dassault at a unit price of 10,000 US dollars. The unit price of the fighter jets is definitely at the price of the thug. The contract amount is close to US dollars, and if the purchase of Zhao, the contract amount will be close to US$100 million.
Although Dassault's life was not very sad when he was four, because he not only received orders from the French Air Force and the Navy, but also made a lot of money by upgrading the "Mage. Series Fighter for Real World". For example, helping the Indian Air Force improve and upgrade the "Mage 4" to create huge revenue of billions of euros for Dassault. However, at that time, the export work of "Ravel" had already encountered problems. When participating in the competition for advanced fighter jets in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea and other countries, he not only lost to the hidden power with slightly better performance, but even to Boeing's thugs. If Dassault cannot open up the export market, the losses will be immeasurable.
In fact, Dassault, the one who most wanted the EU to contact the military embargo at that time was Dassault.
According to the information provided by the Military Intelligence Agency, the "unblocking operation" initiated by the French government in the EU was almost all related to Dassault. In order to promote the "unblocking operation, Dassault not only sent many lobbyists to the French parliament, but also spent huge sums of money to buy EU Council members. Of course, the decision-making power of "unblocking" is in the hands of EU member states. As long as one member state refuses to contact the ban, even if other countries support it, it is impossible to lift the ban. In this way, the real decision-making power is not in the hands of European countries, but in the hands of the United States. You should know that the EU finally lifted the arms embargo on China because the UK abstained the vote and did not vote for the vote.
It can be seen that France pushed the EU to lift the arms embargo on China around Yo-Yuan, with the purpose of not selling the weapons and equipment produced by France to the Republic. You should know that around Yo-Yuan, the Republic's military technology had surpassed France in all respects and had the most advanced weapons and equipment in the world. In this way, it was not the Republic that needed to buy weapons, but France.
At that time, France's purpose was very simple, which was to hope that the Republic would lower the threshold for arms trade with Europe in a reciprocal way.
The actual situation is very different from what France thought. At the end of the year, the Plenary Congress of the Republic passed a very important bill, that is, all arms trade against African Unions, as long as confidentiality technology is involved, it must be reviewed and approved by the Plenary Congress. Because there is no advanced arms that does not involve confidentiality technology, as long as the Republic sells arms to countries that do not embrace the treaty, it must first pass the Plenary Congress. In other words, the Republic not only did not lower the threshold for arms trade with the European Union, but instead raised the threshold.
In fact, the EU is not "unfairly accused" of military embargo.
When the United States initiated a military embargo, the EU involved the key military technology of the United States. Through a series of complex treaties, the EU was finally tied together and joined the ranks of the arms embargo on China. Unfortunately, the EU was very weak at that time and did not have the influence later. It was impossible to fight against the United States on such a major security issue and become the United States
.
In the century, the situation turned out to be the opposite. At the beginning, the United States was worried that the Republic had obtained advanced military technology from the United States through the EU, but now the Republic was worried that the United States had obtained advanced military technology from the Republic through the EU, so it was so important to control the European arms trade. "I knew that until the two countries were not in charge of the European and Ming member states, they did not provide weapons and equipment to several related European and Ming member states. For example, Greece wanted to introduce electric submarines from the Republic as early as the year of the year of the year, until Lideen, that is, the Republic took the lead in exporting thugs to Yemen, which did not sign a "friendly and mutual assistance treaty. It was not until Yemen that the Republic had exported a thug and a class composite battery to Greece. At that time, the submarines sold to the Republic were equipped with composite batteries of the Allies, all of which were equipped with composite batteries of the above level 8, and were sold to Argentina, Pakistan and other major allies, and even used composites of the Oriental Co.
Battery. In recent years, that is, after Greece had proved its friendly relations with the Republic through its actions, the Republic authorities sold advanced weapons and equipment, including four electric submarines equipped with old-class composite batteries, in a "special approval" manner, small main battle tanks and oral-coated electromagnetic gun systems, to Greece, making Greece one of the most powerful countries in the Mediterranean overnight, and its defense strength far exceeds that of its old enemy Turkey. In fact, Greece was able to buy advanced weapons from the Republic not because of its particularly good relationship with the Republic. Instead, it had promised before that it would not go to war on Turkey unilaterally, nor would it take substantial actions to undermine the status quo in Cyprus, which both sides were competing for. In other words, the main purpose of Greece's procurement of these advanced weapons was to deal with the strong enemy Türkiye, and whether it could take action was decided by the Republic.
Yan Ran, it is impossible for the French authorities to be unaware of the situation in the Republic.
In a sense, France actively promotes the EU to lift the arms embargo on China, just hoping to use this to show its attitude and open a window for bilateral military cooperation. As for when in-depth military cooperation with the Republic, it depends on how many common interests both sides can find.
In other words, when to take a key step, it is not about whether both sides work hard, but whether the time is ripe.
After waiting for the thug, France finally waited for the opportunity we were looking forward to.
Because the opportunity is too rare, the French authorities do not want to miss it.
According to Pei Chengyi's recollection, at the night of the old month, that is, during his third formal meeting with the French Minister of Defense, the French proposed the idea of comprehensive military cooperation with the Republic, ensuring that trillions of euros will be spent in the next old year to purchase a large number of weapons and equipment from the Republic, and help the Republic sell arms to other European countries.
Although the French Minister of Defense said this, he just hoped to arouse the "desire" of the republic authorities." In fact, it is impossible to use weapons marked as "Made in the Republic" to arm the French army. Other European countries, such as Germany, as a veteran military power in Europe and a major arms production country, would not dance with France. However, judging from the situation at that time, the attitude of the French Minister of Defense was enough to show that the French authorities were anxious. At least the top leaders of the French army were very clear about the gap with the Republic, and also very clear about how bad the combat effectiveness of the French army was.
Of course, this is indeed a great temptation.
You should know that if the French army changes all the clothes, set the replacement time as Li Year, the equipment purchase fee alone will be as high as Li trillion euros. According to the arms exported directly, plus the transfer of production patents, the Republic's arms dealers can obtain the share of the thugs from it, and the profits of the direct export of arms are above irrigation, and the patent transfer fee is pure profit. Therefore, the Republic's arms dealers can make nearly 3 trillion euros in the year, that is, about the old trillion yuan of profits. If other European countries are included, in the future, the Republic's arms dealers will definitely make about trillion yuan of profits in Europe. You should know that between the four to Yo-year periods, after deducting the war factors, the Republic's arms dealers' profits will be more than 1 trillion yuan.
If it is not calculated based on money, but rather on labor positions, including resources, equipment and other related industries, EU countries will fully replace the Republic's weapons and equipment, and will strive to create at least 10,000 jobs for the Republic within the year, which is equivalent to supporting citizens of the Republic.
The problem is that temptation is just temptation.
No matter how beautiful the things you see are, if you can't get them, it doesn't make any sense.
Pei Chengyi was not concerned about the words of the French Minister of Defense and did not take it seriously. In the meeting summary report, he also asked Dongfang Wen to delete some meaningless words to avoid affecting the head of state. Of course, even Pei Chengyi was not moved, and Yan Jingyu was even more unlikely to be deceived.
In other words, there was no result in the meeting between day and night.
In fact, this is not accurate. According to the comments of the French news media, the two sides first negotiated military cooperation. In addition to showing sincerity, they also set a good start for this round of contact, allowing both sides to exchange opinions on other sensitive issues. The foundation was laid for the final result.
As mentioned earlier, if we can discuss in-depth military issues, there will be nothing to say about other aspects.
