Chapter 605: Confrontation in the Dark

Looking at Jotson, who was sweating at the tip of his nose but refused to let go, Chen Geng shook his head and picked up the phone at hand: "Helen?"

"What do you command, sir?"

Thanks to the good quality of mobile phones in this era, Jotersen can clearly hear the voice on the other end of the phone, which is very familiar, combined with Chen Geng's name for the other party, the identity of the person on the other end of the phone instantly appeared in Jotson's mind: Helen Mirren, Fernandez's former personal assistant and now in charge of the media.

He's going to play really?

No way?!

Just when Jortson was hesitating, he heard Chen Geng continue: "The Huaxia delegation came to the United States to purchase a batch of decommissioned 'Tahe' helicopters that have been dismantled from sensitive military equipment and are ready to be used for humanitarian relief and economic construction, do you know?"

"Yes, I know. Helen answered, waiting for her boss to continue.

"The Pentagon has just made an offer of $8 million each. ”

"$8 million?"

During this time, his own boss was busy with the US military's decommissioned "Tach" heavy helicopters, and Mirren also asked people to collect some information about the "Tach." Now when he heard his boss say that the Pentagon's offer for these "Tach" heavy helicopters was as high as $8 million, Mirren was immediately shocked: "The Pentagon is crazy to be poor? If I remember correctly, the unit price for the Army's purchase of the "Tach" is only more than $200, right?"

"Well," Chen Geng replied, "Listen, Mirren, I need you to mobilize the media and discuss this matter: to make the people realize that this was originally a perfect opportunity to win over the Chinese to deal with the Soviet Union, but some people regarded this business as a ......"

it!

Damn Fernandez actually played for real?!

Listening to Chen Geng's words, Joterson finally became anxious, but Chen Geng's identity made him dare not snatch the mobile phone in Chen Geng's hand, so he had to shout loudly: "Mr. Fernandez, this is a misunderstanding, no matter what we can discuss, please don't stab the media......"

Joterson even trembled with fear!

He knows very well that if Chen Geng really pokes this matter out, he Fernandez Chen will certainly have nothing, but many people will be unlucky - improving relations with China and assisting Huaxia to upgrade the level of military equipment as soon as possible to fight against the damned Soviet Union, this is the established national policy of the United States today, in order to make Huaxia's military strength strong within a controllable range as soon as possible, the US government is even actively discussing the F-5 fighter, A-7 attack aircraft, F-14 and F- 16 fighters and other main fighters in service with the US military were sold to Huaxia, and several retired second-hand CH-53A/B?

If it helps to improve China's overall combat strength, the US government is simply eager to directly stuff them.

Whoever stumbles on this matter is an enemy of the United States. If things don't make a big fuss, there may be room for relaxation, but once Chen Geng is stabbed in the media, I don't know how many people will be unlucky.

"Oh, negotiable?"

Chen Geng raised his eyebrows, gave Mirren an order, "Wait for my news", and then looked at Joterson with a smile.

Joterson took a deep breath: "Ernandez, you know, a lot of people are staring at this business......"

The implication: A lot of Pentagon bigwigs are making a fortune in this business.

"That's nothing to do with me," Chen Geng interrupted him very unpleasantly, and the previous friendship between the two did not play a role at this moment: "I only know that some people want to do things that hurt me." ”

Looking at Jotson, Chen Geng said unceremoniously: "I don't care who is responsible for this matter, but I put my words here, whoever doesn't give me face this time, don't blame me for not giving him face." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Jotson to speak, Chen Geng turned around and left, leaving Jotson with a cloudy and uncertain face.

After a moment, Joterson picked up the phone in the room: "Luis, there is something going on...... yes, it's him, this damn bastard, with a very tough attitude...... Yes, we have to adjust, and you know the attitude of the White House to this...... Okay, I see, I'll find a way to stabilize him......"

…………………………

"Mr. Chen, how is it?" At the dinner, Li Jianguo, who was worried about something, took an opportunity and leaned over to Chen Geng's side and asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry," looking at Li Jianguo, who was full of anxiety, Chen Geng's original complaint could not be spoken, so he could only comfort him: "You also know that this kind of thing is urgent...... But don't worry, I've put pressure on some people through certain channels. ”

"That's good, that's good," Li Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Chen Geng's words, he also knew that this kind of thing couldn't be seen at once, but he couldn't help but be anxious, hesitated for a moment, and still couldn't hold back: "Mr. Chen, what do you think...... Will this business ...... in the end?"

He was worried about whether the business would be yellow.

It is said that Li Jianguo's mentality is very abnormal, but it can't stand the special nature of this era, and in the context of this special era, Li Jianguo's mentality is actually very easy to understand.

Looking at Li Jianguo, who was about to foam at the mouth, Chen Geng smiled: "Mr. Li, you must know that this is a big business of one or two hundred million US dollars, such a big business, it is too normal to talk about it for a year and a half, and your mentality is not suitable......"

Speaking of this, Chen Geng said to Li Jianguo (and also told the others in the delegation through Li Jianguo): "Let me put it this way, if you want to say who wants to see this deal reached the most, it is actually not you, but the US government, which is more anxious than you. ”

"You say that the Americans want to promote this business more than we do?" Li Jianguo was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

"Hmm. Chen Geng nodded.

"Why?"

"Because the deal is not about the amount of money, the political and symbolic significance of the deal is far greater than the economic significance, when this deal is concluded, the US government and the entire Western world, led by the US government, can completely promote this deal as China completely turned to the United States...... I know what you mean, of course, the Huaxia government can't completely turn to the United States, but it can't stand the U.S. government from propagating it like that, right?"

Li Jianguo's heart seemed to have opened a window: It makes sense, so that's what happened! What Mr. Chen Geng said is too reasonable!

"Therefore, as long as this incident becomes a big problem, the public opinion of the US government, the US Congress, and even the entire United States will pressure the Pentagon to sell these planes to you at a low price. ”

"Is it okay to sell half and give it away?" Li Jianguo, who was still worried about this and that just now, his eyes widened when he heard this: "It's impossible, right? The Americans themselves will have to pay millions of dollars to buy this plane, and they can give us tens of millions of dollars worth of things for nothing?"

"What's this, the total value of the U.S. aid to foreign countries for free every year is at least tens of billions of dollars, what are you counting thousands of, the key is to find an excuse for the U.S. government to give it away in vain, and this is the crux of the matter. ”

it!

As long as there are the right means, can the US government give it away for nothing?

Can you still play like this?

Li Jianguo said that it was an eye-opener, and he instantly put the previous unhappiness behind him, and Chen Geng, who was excited, said: "Mr. Chen, tell me, how can we get the US government to give us these planes half-sold and half-sent?"

He had a look of "As long as you can make this big bargain, you say, what are you going to do?"

Looking at Li Jianguo, who was excited and longing, Chen Geng suddenly felt a little sad.

………………………………

Chen Geng is ready to use practical actions to prove that he is not just talking, but helplessly, the plan is not as fast as the change, just when he was about to mobilize his own forces to put pressure on the Pentagon, he received a call from the US Deputy Secretary of Defense Elliott Richardson, well, that is, Louis Michael Roy's boss.

"Hello General. Knowing the identity of the other party, Chen Geng still gave enough respect.

"Mr. Fernandez, I Luis said that you seem to have some misunderstanding?" Elliott Richardson didn't ask Chen Geng directly.

Chen Geng knew in his heart: Sure enough, you are the backstage of this incident.

"Is there a misunderstanding? maybe," Chen Geng's tone was very flat: "But I don't think it's a misunderstanding." ”

"No, this is indeed a misunderstanding, I don't know what went wrong in this link, which led to such a big deviation in this matter, but in fact, I personally appreciate the Pentagon's move to procure the 'Tahe' for humanitarian relief in the Chinese government, and I have repeatedly instructed the relevant departments to give the Chinese delegation the greatest convenience and the most preferential price. Elliott Richardson explained it very seriously, as if it was really just a misunderstanding from beginning to end.

"Oh, it seems that it is really likely to be a misunderstanding," since Elliott Richardson admitted his mistake in disguise, Chen Geng didn't care about himself, and handed Elliot Richardson a stool: "This kind of misunderstanding often occurs, as long as it is explained clearly......"

Speaking of this, Chen Geng's tone changed and he asked Elliot Richardson: "Your Excellency, General, if this is a misunderstanding, then what was the original price of the Pentagon?"

"This ......," Elliott Richardson didn't quite want to say.

"Personally, this is the first military deal between China and the United States after the establishment of diplomatic relations, and it has a strong symbolic meaning, so I think we might as well use this deal to shape the image of the United States a little higher, don't you think?"
