Or search on Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] Roland Dima may be suspected of accepting bribes from arms dealers in the Lafayette frigate incident as soon as the media exposed it, causing explosive effects in the French political arena.

The turning point in this matter was accomplished in a very short period of time, and in particular, Roland Dima, who was strongly opposed to arms sales to Taiwan at the beginning, actually became the most powerful supporter of arms sales overnight.

It's just that this matter was completed very quickly at that time, and when everyone did not react, the arms sales to Taiwan were completed, so they did not have time to think carefully about this matter, but they saw that France got a large amount of money from it, so no one raised any objections to this.

But now it is different, the government has changed, and the interests that have been damaged by the arms sales are also very annoyed with the original perpetrators, hoping to remove Roland Dima from power, and ordinary people also want to see the excitement, all these factors have combined to create a strong public opinion demanding Roland Dima's resignation and judicial intervention to investigate whether there is corruption in this incident as reported in the media.

At the beginning, the beneficiaries of the Lafayette frigate purchase were also a very large group, and the high bribes of more than 500 million US dollars were divided by them, so it was natural to jump out or hide in the shadows to protect Roland Dima and the other people involved in the case, in case they fell and involved themselves.

5.2.0 started in Paris and immediately felt this strong atmosphere of struggle.

At this critical juncture, Celal, the second boss of Elf's company, actually ran away!

"This idiot! Isn't running like this now equivalent to admitting oneself? Roland Dima will feel very passive----" Fan Wuxian said to his subordinate Dolby after watching the report on the TV news.

If the Paris side is only an anti-corruption investigation and does not elevate the whole incident to a political level, then the Taiwan side has already affected many people's life and death matters.

It was only through the propaganda of the French media that the people learned that the boat they had spent so much money on was actually defective, and the price of the purchase was even more ridiculously expensive.

Ah Bian and others fanned the flames and strongly demanded that the truth of the matter be investigated. Under pressure. Lee Teng-hui had no choice but to ask the judicial department to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter.

However, Navy Colonel Yin Ching-feng, who had returned to Taipei with a large amount of information, was found dead at sea before he could communicate with his superiors, and all the relevant information was missing, and at the same time, a number of important generals in the navy died mysteriously.

Vice Minister Jiao's negotiations have become easier, and the French side is eager for the two sides to reach an agreement as soon as possible.

But he was not in a hurry now, because he found that the delay was very good for his work, and the situation was really as Fan Wuxian said, the French needed a little political performance too much!

Then there was revelation that French Foreign Minister Roland Dima may have accepted $30 million in commercial bribes from the arms sales incident, and a number of senior officials of the Republic were involved at this time, once the specific list is announced.

It will blow up the French political situation to pieces. The top management of Airbus can no longer sit still, looking at the current situation, it is difficult for them to guarantee that the Chinese will sit here with peace of mind and slowly sign the purchase contract.

The situation in Paris is so chaotic that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is in a mess, and Airbus thinks that it cannot wait for the outcome of the negotiations, but has to fight for orders on its own.

Just like last year, when Sino-French relations were bad, they still survived orders from China Eastern Airlines and Northwest Airlines, although the number was smaller.

It means that the two sides can have more in-depth exchanges.

"Mr. Fan. We feel that business is business and should not be tied to politics. Jean Bilger said to Fan Wuxian.

Fan Wuxian is not afraid of talking nonsense with him. And he answered,

"I also don't think business should be tied to politics. So, how many AWACS aircraft do I need, will your company be able to sell me a few? "The AWACS aircraft are a combination of command, control, communications and intelligence, and are known as air leaders.

At the end of World War II, in order to solve the problem of long-range early warning in maritime formations, the US Navy adopted the installation of warning radars on carrier-based aircraft, and made the world's first carrier-based early warning aircraft.

After that, the United States, the former Soviet Union and other countries developed a new generation of early warning aircraft using advanced airborne electronic equipment.

Its airborne radar has good down-looking capabilities and can detect both low-altitude targets and ground and sea targets.

The plane is also equipped with equipment for identifying friend or foe, handling intelligence, command and control, communications and navigation, and electronic countermeasures, so that it can not only discover and monitor intrusion targets in the air in a timely manner, but also command and guide its own fighters to intercept and attack, and become an indispensable air early warning command and control center on the battlefield under the conditions of informationization.

In the first (5) 20.0 Gulf War, thousands of planes from all over the world flew more than 100,000 sorties, and there were no major collisions or accidental injuries, all relying on the tireless work of more than 10 early warning aircraft.

AWACS aircraft can be said to be a multiplier for the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the Air Force, and in modern warfare, a large-scale air battle without AWACS aircraft is unimaginable.

However, this technology is a blockade for the Chinese, and it is impossible for the Americans to sell this kind of thing to China, and even some countries with the ability to produce AWACS, such as Russia, Britain, Israel, etc., are also threatened by the Americans not to sell AWACS aircraft to the Chinese.

When Fan Wuxian said this, he was purely embarrassed by Bigel. Somewhat embarrassed, Bilger replied,

"If our company has the production of airborne early warning aircraft, I would be happy to sell you a few, but it is a pity that the French airborne early warning aircraft were also purchased from the Americans, and the E-3 series produced by Boeing." Of course, Fan Wuxian knew that the French also bought American early warning aircraft, and this was just to make trouble, so he smiled and said,

"You see, it's not that I don't take care of your business, it's that your product variety is too small to scale. **.coM***”

"But the quality of our airliners is excellent, and the medium-sized airliners technically surpass the Boeing airliners!" Let Bilger confidently assure Fan Wuxian that his Airbus A-340 family airliner can fully meet Fan Wuji's needs.

"However, we have also noticed that the safety performance of Boeing's airliner seems to be better than your Airbus airliner." Fan immediately pointed out a drawback of the Airbus airliner.

"Oh, Mr. Fan, you should still consider it comprehensively, not compare it one-sidedly." Jean Bilger replied.

The two of them talked for a while, they were both playing Tai Chi, and they talked a bunch of useless words, that is, they insisted on each other's bottom line, and at this time, Sanchez walked in and said to Fan Wuxi,

"Boss, Mr. Maximos, Senior Vice President of Boeing, has arrived at Charles de Gaulle International Airport and is now asking for your location?"

"Maximus? What did he come to do? When did he become a Boeing guy again? Isn't he from Hughes & Co.? Fan Wuxian looked at Sanchez with some puzzlement, but he also looked dazed, so Fan Wuxian said,

"Okay, take his call, I'll have a conversation."

"Hey! Chinese Fan, I really miss you very much! As soon as I got on the phone, I heard the old Jewish man's enthusiastic emphasis.

After Fan Wuxian responded with two sentences, he asked with some curiosity,

"When did you switch jobs to Boeing?" After the old man explained, Fan Wuxian understood what happened, it turned out that Boeing had acquired Hughes at this time, so the old man turned into an executive of Boeing, originally he had a wide network, a flexible mind, and successfully sold four satellites to the Chinese, as well as some other small things, so the board of directors specially appointed him as the senior vice president of Boeing, specifically to develop the Chinese and Southeast Asian markets.

"Alright then, I'm at the George V Hotel, and the occupancy rate here is not high, so you might as well stay here." Fan Wuxian suggested to Maximus.

"Okay, in half an hour, we'll meet and talk in detail." Maximus replied. Fan Wuxian put down the phone, then looked at Rang Bilger with a suspicious face, and smiled,

"No way, they're all friends. Now that I'm a senior vice president of Boeing, I heard that I was in Paris, so he had to rush over and pull me over to celebrate, and I really couldn't do anything about him. "Is it as simple as just drinking?

! Let Bilger not believe this statement! The senior vice president of Boeing, who flew from the United States to Paris in a daze, was it just to pull Fan Wuxian to drink?

! No! It's absolutely impossible! Let Bilger immediately feel a huge crisis, probably the news that the Chinese are ready to purchase Airbus aircraft leaked out, and now Boeing also wants to insert a lever!

But Jean Bilger couldn't say anything to Fan Wuxian about this matter, and when he left, he saw the motorcade of Maximos and his party stop at the gate of the George V Hotel, and look at the lineup, it was definitely the size of a business delegation, and it would definitely not be as simple as drinking!

Could it be that it is because the incident of France's arms sales to Taiwan has affected the interests of the Americans, and they want to come here at this time to save face?

Let Bilger speculate in his heart, or there is really such a possibility, after all, Boeing's position in the passenger aircraft manufacturing industry is also very important, and they are fully capable of snatching orders from Airbus.

Moreover, it seems that this senior vice president named Maximus has a good personal relationship with Fan Wuxi.

"I need to inform the board of directors about this so they can plan ahead!" It made Bilger feel very heavy.
