Chapter 1125 The King of Ideas in the Middle East (New January, please vote for me)


    When the ring project ended, Shaul Mavita was still in charge of market relations coordination in Europe, so he didn''t know much about the details.


    At least not as much as Yael Kentz, who experienced it.


    However, seeing the latter''s reaction just now, he could probably guess the reason.


    In fact, from Mavita''s own point of view, this matter is not worth making a fuss about at all.


    He has been in charge of the European work since 1995, and was transferred back to the headquarters last year. He almost watched with his own eyes as the reputation of Huaxia products went from being unheard of in Europe, to being infamous, to mostly negative reviews, to mixed reviews. , and finally divided up the European affordable market with Korean products.


    Many European companies talk about their disdain, but if you take a closer look at the supply chain, you will find that the body is very honest.


    There is no shortage of places where Huaxia products should be used.


    Even the NH90 helicopters commonly used by many NATO countries have chosen Chinese suppliers with a high proportion.


    There are even more outrageous rumors that the NH90 was jointly developed and designed by China and Eurocopter.


    Of course, Mavita still doesn''t believe this statement.


    In short, it is an indisputable fact that the bond between China and Europe is getting deeper and deeper.


    In this case, it is a normal idea for both sides to work together to create an early warning aircraft.


    There is no reason to go to war over this matter.


    Since others are bidding in the name of Dassault, it shows that the Chinese people do not want to use this matter to make a big fuss in public opinion.


    Even if he wins, the most he can feel is that he feels good.


    But I want to think about it.


    Since Kenz now wants to fight to the death, he is not prepared to disobey the leader.


    "Then... why not let Washington come forward to put pressure?"


    Like most Davidians, Mavita''s first reaction after encountering trouble was to ask the United States for help:


    "Even if China doesn''t take threats, the UAE and France will always consider the Americans'' ideas, right?"


    On the surface, this proposal does seem good.


    But politically it seems too naive.


    Kenz shook his head almost without thinking:


    "Washington might pay any price for us ... but not in something like this."


    "Europe has gained momentum in the past two years. Not only does it want to replace the United States economically, but it also has a tendency to seek independent defense militarily. The attitude of the United States should be to adopt an appeasement policy first, and then look for opportunities to break through from within Europe... In short, under the current circumstances, we cannot simply consider the issue based on Cold War thinking.”


    There was actually another thing Kenz didn''t say.


    That is, as the euro becomes stronger, the United States needs to do everything possible to avoid the euro being anchored to any key commodity.


    Moreover, at the end of 2003, the US military was still dreaming that it would be able to withdraw its troops from the Mesopotamia in the first half of 2004 and leave regional defense to its GCC allies.


    It is even more impossible to offend both buyers and sellers at the same time for this little thing, and add a country that is rapidly erupting and the trade volume is rising.


    Mavita frowned slightly:


    "But the person in charge of this arms purchase is Crown Prince Mohamed Zayed. If we don''t use pressure, are we going to buy a future king?"


    This is obviously unrealistic.


    The entire UAE belongs to others.


    But for Mavita, who has been running rampant in Europe for more than ten years, he really can''t think of any other way besides intimidation and bribery.


    But Kenz’s mind still needs to be a little more flexible:


    "Has the other party informed you of the specific format of the second round of real machine bidding?"


    The brain circuits of big dog owners cannot be treated by normal methods.


    For example, when Saudi Arabia purchased large-caliber howitzers, it actually brought together the models participating in the bidding from various countries and conducted an on-site target shooting test.


    Of course, army equipment is not worth much, so it is not too outrageous to do so.


    But it is more bizarre that the humorous American representative broke into the bombing zone and was almost killed because he did not believe in the range of Chinese products.


    At least it shows that management is not strict.


    If the UAE also engages in this kind of gameplay, there will still be a lot of room for maneuver.


    "It just means that the bidding process will be completed before June 2005 at the latest. The specific testing process and time will be discussed by each of the three parties and the selection committee." Mavita replied:


    "In addition, the condition for effective participation in the test is to produce at least a prototype that is close to full condition, and the aircraft needs to be brought to the United Arab Emirates for testing."


    It seems that His Excellency the Crown Prince''s thinking is relatively normal.


    In this kind of arms sales where Party A is obviously strong and has many options, it must be as controllable as possible.


    However, this is also equivalent to exposing a flaw.


    Kenz thought for a moment and then smiled:


    "Although we can''t bribe the crown prince himself, we can still bribe a few technicians and let them slightly influence the test results... right?"


    Although the Mossad agents are not as magical as in the legend, as long as you are a professional, it is not a big problem to do such a small job.


    "Ah?"


    Poor Mavita has been active in Europe in the past, and has no contact with the cruel terminal market. Most of the people he deals with are decent people. How could he have thought of such a dirty trick?


    I was shocked on the spot.


    "how."


    Kenz raised his eyebrows slightly:


    "Do you have a better idea?"


    Of course Mavita didn''t.


    But his moral bottom line is quite flexible, so he quickly convinced himself and began to think specifically about the problems at the implementation level:


    "But we don''t know the specific circumstances of the test yet, nor do we know the specific parameters of the other party''s model..."


    Before he could finish speaking, Kenz interrupted:


    "These should be the work of the intelligence department and we don''t need to worry about it... Now this matter has risen to the level of national dignity. I will explain the situation to my superiors and ask for more support."


    Mavita''s face remained calm, but she couldn''t help but curse in her heart:


    "What kind of national dignity is this? It''s not like you were messing around before and then lost it. In the end, you had to find others to help wipe your butt..."


    However, on the surface, he still looked worried about his leader:


    "But if we don''t provide technical support, I''m afraid those rough guys from Mossad will just plant bombs... If it really makes a big fuss, it will still be detrimental to us..."


    Although IAI is called David Aircraft Industries, its specific business covers almost all fields of land, sea, air and space. For example, its subsidiary Elta, in addition to developing large-scale products such as the Falcon system and LAVI fighter jets, also specializes in One of the important suppliers of equipment and electronic warfare equipment.


    Any powerful intelligence agency or special forces cannot function without strong technical support behind it.


    "Um…"


    After Mavita said this, Kentz also felt it was reasonable.


    After all, others are two of the five permanent members.


    He just wants to regain his face, not to seek death.


    Fortunately, the latter''s smart mind came into play quickly, and a new idea quickly jumped out:


    "Unit No. 01 is currently undergoing final modifications and equipment debugging in the assembly workshop. It will make its first flight in about two months, so during the test phase, that aircraft can be used to temporarily carry it on top..."


    "Even if our three sets of tests are not exactly the same, the processes should be similar..."


    The idea seems to be getting clearer:


    "In this way, you go and communicate with Abu Dhabi and say that we plan to conduct testing in May or June!"


    The sudden change in plans made Mavita, who was solely responsible for the bidding affairs, a little confused:


    "Is it too hasty to conduct testing less than three months after the first flight?"


    "Won''t."


    Kenz is very confident in technology:


    "The radar and aircraft are both mature designs. In addition, the Falcon 8X business jet model has just begun to be delivered for commercial trial operation. I am afraid it will have to wait for a while before the modification of the early warning aircraft can begin, and Bombardier will even be three years later. Months, the delivery cycle is one of our strengths, and we can take this opportunity to show it..."


    At this time, Mavita had already taken out the notebook he carried with him and started writing furiously.


    The former continued:


    "After we complete the test first, the French and Swedes will definitely be anxious and will submit the complete design plan to the UAE earlier. This will also give the intelligence agency more time to obtain relevant information about the other party and do some work. Make targeted preparations.”


    "In addition, inform Elta Company that it is planning to modify a small forwarding jamming device based on the existing product. It is best to be carried on an aircraft the size of a drone..."


    “…”


    After finishing the request, Kenz waved his hand towards Mavita, indicating that the latter would do as he said.


    Then he breathed a long sigh of relief, leaned back on the chair in a relaxed manner, and said to himself:


    "Chinese Radar...I really don''t believe it anymore..."
