Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Hearing that some weapons and equipment need to be purchased from France and the Soviet Union, Colonel Ka is very relieved; as long as the weapons are not purchased from the United States, everything else is easy to handle. Although under sanctions, both France and the Soviet Union are short of money; especially when the Soviet Union sells weapons to Libya, it can also add obstacles to the Americans; the old man is not relentless at all.

Therefore, in private, the two countries have been selling weapons and equipment to Libya, which is not a secret internationally! This time, the richest man Bao wants to change his thinking, that is to let the French completely offend Colonel Ka;

Bao Zixuan thought for a while and said: "You can send a delegation to France directly to buy Rafale fighter jets from Dassault; I believe that the relationship between Libya and France will not be rejected by the other party."

"Even if France refuses, it doesn't matter, the Soviet Union can be used as an alternative; it's just a little more troublesome, and the modification cost is higher!"

Although Colonel Ka is very arrogant, he is not an idiot; although the French really want to do business with Libya, given the current international situation, they will most likely refuse. Even if France agrees, the Americans will obstruct it; it is doubtful whether they can reach Libya safely!

Based on the relationship between Bao Zixuan and the Soviet high-level, and the old Maozi's personality; he doesn't care what the Americans think. The only country in the world that dares to ignore US sanctions is the Soviet Union.

Seeing Colonel Ka lost in thought, Bao Zixuan continued: "The performance of the Soviet fighters is indeed good, but the electronic system is seriously backward; if you want to connect to the modern combat system, you must upgrade the aircraft's electronic system; the French fighters are not so troublesome."

"However, this is not technically difficult for the Black Cloud Group; it is just a waste of time and will add some additional costs."

"As for the anti-aircraft missiles, just buy them directly from the Soviet Union; compared to aircraft, it is much easier to replace the electronic components of the missiles!"

"Engineers will write a special system based on the need for combat readiness in Libya; there is only one highest authority, and that is Your Excellency."

Hearing this, Colonel Ka was very happy; especially that there was only one supreme authority, and it was still in his hands; the control over the country would also become stronger.

Colonel Ka thought for a while and said: "Mr. Bao is worthy of being a top technical expert. Although I don't understand it very well, it sounds reasonable. Just follow your wishes and what you need to buy; you make a list."

"As for the system construction, I still need your help; as for the cost, Libya needs to have the latest air defense system even if it is a waste of money."

"It is still under sanctions, and you can use oil and gold for transactions; it will definitely not embarrass you."

Unexpectedly, Colonel Ka was so successful that he traded directly with liquid gold and real gold; it saved a lot of trouble invisibly!

The dinner was supposed to be prepared, but who made Colonel Ka's identity too sensitive; they just had dinner together, and the overall specifications were not very high. Bao Zixuan didn't care about this. While causing trouble for the Americans, he could also make a lot of money, and the rest didn't seem to be that important!

Colonel Kashang is definitely a man of action, and an expert plane flew directly from Tripoli to Paris that night; as the head of the delegation, Kashang's son, Mohammed, will directly negotiate with the French.

I didn't want the Libyans to come over with a high profile. It's okay to sell some weapons and equipment in private;

As the sovereign state of Libya, France still needs to import most of its oil from Libya; if it doesn't give it any face, it really can't be justified. Where other African countries are watching, France must show its attitude.

Muhammad received a call from his father, although he was reluctant; but he did not dare to neglect in the slightest. Maybe I have opinions on Dad's high-handed rule, but I still have a positive attitude towards the cause of a strong national defense. The trauma that the Golden Canyon operation brought to Libya is too great. As the president's son, he naturally has to bear more responsibilities.

The Soviet Union relaxed export restrictions on fighter jets, making life extremely difficult for Dassault in France; coupled with the death of the old Dassault, investors were even more skeptical about Dassault II's ability.

Fortunately, there is the support of the French local air force, but the profit is too low; coupled with the astronomical sum of research and development costs of modern fighter jets, Dassault II has been in a state of distress recently.

Even though it is clear that it is inappropriate to do business with Libya at this moment; but you can't watch the company in trouble and do nothing yourself!

We all know that the Libyans are famous for their stupid money, and Dassault doesn't make any money; it must be cheaper for the Soviets; it is really not reconciled to just watch the business slip away.

Although he did not make a clear statement, he was more inclined to reach a deal with Libya in his heart.

Dassault II has absolute confidence in taking Muhammad on a tour of the factory; there is no leak at all! Don't just visit the aircraft manufacturing process; even if the production line is moved there, Libya's industrial base and technical reserves are powerless.

The other party will definitely buy a fighter, it depends on which company you choose.

Mohammed had the list provided by Colonel Ka on his body, and said directly: "I don't know how much it costs to buy 120 of the latest Rafale fighter jets!"

Hearing this, Dassault II was obviously taken aback; you must know that even the French Air Force did not buy so many fighters at once. Perhaps it was really frightening to be beaten by the Americans, and it hurt even more; I knew that I had to buy military aircraft to protect myself.

Dassault II thought for a while and said: "The price of each fighter jet is 40 million U.S. dollars, plus some supporting facilities; it needs 6 billion U.S. dollars!"

It was sold to the French Air Force at a price of just over 20 million U.S. dollars; when it was directly doubled here in Libya, it can only be said that Dassault II's heart was dark enough.

Hearing the price, Muhammad was reluctant; but his father had already made it clear that he would do whatever it takes; at this time, he could only bite the bullet.

Muhammad: "We are going to order 120 Rafale fighter jets, and the price will be in accordance with your wishes."

There is no counter-offer at all, it is really a fool with a lot of money; after thinking about it, it is normal, at this time, no country dares to openly sell fighters to Libya.

Dassault II did not expect that the other party would buy so much at once; the small amount could be manipulated in secret, so he could only turn to the Presidential Palace for help at this moment!

Although he really wanted to agree immediately, Dasuo II really didn't dare!

Dassault II thought for a while and said: "There are too many fighters involved, and it needs to be reported to the Presidential Palace to make a decision!"

Perhaps seeing that the Libyans were a little anxious, Dassault II continued, "I can give you an answer tomorrow, and there will be no delay."

The Libyan side didn't pay back the price at all, which can be said to be full of sincerity; if it is dragging others, it is really not very kind!

Let other people continue to visit with the Libyan delegation, and Dassault II came directly to the Elysee Palace; he will seek government help to deal with pressure from other parties.

As the head of France's largest arms manufacturer, he wants to meet the president; as long as there are no important guests in the office, he will arrange it as soon as possible. Hearing from the secretary that the US ambassador to France was meeting with the president, he immediately had an ominous feeling.

This is indeed the case. The Libyans organized a delegation to visit France; and the first stop was Dassault, and they knew what to do without thinking.

The Libyan Air Force was finally destroyed in 1986. Naturally, I don't want to see Colonel Ka reorganize the Air Force. Therefore, the American ambassador came directly to the office of the French president; the meaning was very obvious, absolutely no weapons and equipment could be sold to Libya; not even a single screw.

Seeing the arrogance of the American ambassador, French President Mitterrand was very angry; as an old man who has held the supreme power of the country for more than ten years, his prestige has reached its peak, but he still thinks he still has some influence in the international arena. UU reading www. uukanshu.com The American ambassador didn't show any face, which is really unacceptable.

How France is declining is also the fifth permanent member of the United Nations; he is considered the head of a big country at any rate, and he did not expect to be questioned and targeted one day.

But in the current international situation, France has to make compromises; at least it dare not completely offend the United States.

Not everyone has the courage and prestige of Charles de Gaulle, and if you can't bear it, you will make a big mess; you can only persuade Dassault to give up this business, and the future will be bright!

Even if he was reluctant, Mitterrand still expressed that he would respect the opinions of the United States; he would never sell weapons to Libya.

In fact, the Americans didn't want to make things too serious, and they turned a blind eye to it before; as long as it wasn't too much, they didn't come forward to stop it.

This time, Libya sent a delegation here, which must be a big move; especially when Dassault came to Dassault as the first stop, it would be even more impossible to let the other party do what they wanted!
