Among the many automotive mold suppliers, Zhang Lan did not hesitate to choose to customize automotive molds from Germany, the Germans have always been known for their rigor, and even the products made in Germany are also known for their high quality, and the German automotive molds naturally inherit this.

The high price is not a problem for Zhang Lan to consider, now the company is not bad for money, and the company's product positioning is there, so it is natural to choose the best automobile mold manufacturer. But somewhat, in the case of choice, even if it is the same quality and the same price, Zhang Lan will not choose Little Japan: Do you want us to contribute to you? Kill you!

It's just a little regrettable that although the whole set of car molds is made by the Germans, the mold materials are provided by the Swiss, who are good at precision production, the standard parts and special knives are provided by the Japanese, who have outstanding achievements in metal materials, and the nitrogen gas springs and computer software are provided by the Americans.

The Americans' software is now being used by themselves, and after returning to China and installing and debugging in Alice Group, it will be replaced by Alice and Xiao Chenxi's own control programs, which is guaranteed to be much easier to use than the software provided by the Americans, and the degree of intelligence is much higher! It's just that the car mold he customized this time still indirectly contributed some rice to the Japanese, which made Zhang Lan feel quite unhappy in his heart.

If it's not cool, there is no way, who let the Japanese really walk in the forefront of the world in terms of metal materials, product standardization and some high-tech? There are even places that can compete with the Americans. If you want to produce a high-quality product, you sometimes have to make some compromises.

Zhang Lan is not one of those paranoid nationalists, although Zhang Lan admits that he has a strong nationalist tendency in his bones and hates the Japanese to death, but he will never be paranoid to the point that he will not buy anything as long as it is Japanese.

Even if it is their own enemy, some good things are also their own reference, and they can't die old because they are their opponents, Sun Tzu also put forward the famous saying of "knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, winning a hundred battles", and Mr. Lu Xun also put forward the "take-it-or-leave-it-or-leave-it" doctrine. I will use what the Japanese sell to me, and one day I will drive Japanese products out of China! That's true nationalism. Well, when the time comes, it can be regarded as an indirect revenge for being made by the Japanese today.

It seems to be a bit like Murong Fu's trick of "using the other way, giving back to the other". Thinking of this, Zhang Lan's heart finally balanced a lot. Ahem, it's just that this batch of custom-made molds, Zhang Lan instructed Arnold. The direct use of the buyout method did not give those mold manufacturers the opportunity to sell the same molds to their competitors in the future, so it also paid a considerable price: together with the car and truck, the price of all the car molds was as high as 100 million US dollars!

The Germans grinned with a smile to the root of their ears: Americans are really fucking rich! In the eyes of the Germans, Alice (China) Group is an authentic American company, and their purpose in going to China is the same as their own country, to go to that country where people are stupid and have a lot of money to make money: look at the huge amount of money that the public has made in the past two years, it makes people red!

Fortunately, the company has sufficient funds. Don't worry about any problems with the company's capital chain, otherwise just spending money one after another for a while will be tens of millions and hundreds of millions of dollars thrown out, and the average company will not be able to stand it and want to braid! Well, if it weren't for the foundation laid in the past two years and the ruthless money in the Gulf War, although Alice Group would not have to worry about money, it would have had a headache with such a large amount of foreign exchange use!

The Germans are so dark! Zhang Lan nodded in agreement, and cursed the Germans fiercely in her heart: foreigners, there are not a few good things! It's a bunch of wolves!

On July 23, Arnold called Zhang Lan. Anxiously told Zhang Lan something: "What's the matter?" How can a cargo ship in your country be advertised by the U.S. government as carrying thiodiethylene glycol and thionyl chloride, raw materials for the manufacture of chemical weapons? Now this matter has made a big splash internationally! ”

Compared with the convenient information transmission abroad, most of the international information, especially major information, must go through strict review before it can be broadcast in China, and the speed of information transmission is significantly slower than that of foreign countries.

In particular, there is information that may bring instability to the country. It is not allowed to be published directly after review. It is precisely for this reason that Zhang Lan has always given Arnold a task: always pay attention to some foreign actions against China, and tell himself immediately if he finds any news.

Hearing the news that Arnold told him, Zhang Lan chuckled in her heart: Today is July 23? Raw materials for the manufacture of chemical weapons? Oh, my God! Isn't this the famous "galaxy" event in history?

originally thought that his arrival had affected the development of history, and even some of the influences were already visible to him, but today Zhang Lan finally found out. The influence of himself is still not big enough, this famous humiliating incident in modern Chinese history, I didn't expect it to appear as scheduled, just like in history!

Unlike those "indignant youths" who were indignant and shouted for war with the United States after learning about this incident, Zhang Lan has never been very strange about the fact that the government was able to humiliately agree to the US government's decision to inspect Chinese cargo ships: Who let US warships arrive within 72 hours in any part of the world's waters, and who allowed US planes to arrive anywhere in the world within eight hours?

What did China have in comparison to that? There are only a few large warships, and the weapons they are equipped with are not as good as those of other countries, and they still wander around at the gate of their own country, and they rarely even go to the South China Sea. Compared with the thirteen large aircraft carrier formations of the United States all over the world and with strong firepower, the existence of the Chinese Navy's maritime forces is really too weak! It is so weak that it can only walk around the seaside of its own country a few times, and it is so weak that it can almost be ignored by foreigners.

If there is a war, what will China use to fight the United States? Direct use of nuclear weapons? That's certainly impossible! Nuclear weapons can't be used, conventional weapons can't be reached, even if they want to fight others, they can't do it, do these "angry youths" really think that when such a thing happens, those old men above are not angry, aggrieved, and don't feel ashamed? It's just that the situation is stronger than people, what can I do? Moreover, the current situation in China does not allow China to go to war. So what else can be done other than a temporary compromise?

Of course, there are both positive and negative sides to everything, and this incident is not without any positive impact on China. At least the Chinese people's army and senior central leaders, who were greatly stimulated and felt that they had been slapped in the face, quickly made the decision to vigorously develop the army after that.

In the next ten years, the Chinese people's army. In particular, the rapid development of the naval forces cannot but be said to have nothing to do with the US stimulus against China. Zhang Lan even dared to assert that there must be a lot of something to do with this! Chinese people want face. In front of so many countries in the world, he was slapped hard by Lao Mei, and the high-level government, especially the old man who was not very good-tempered, didn't know how many times he secretly slapped the table and scolded his mother!

Zhang Lan carefully recalled the course of history at that time, and if nothing happened at that time, according to the development of history, on July 23, the United States accused the Chinese "Galaxy" freighter of being loaded with thiodiethylene glycol and thionyl chloride, two types of raw materials for making chemical weapons, and was heading for Bandar Abbas, Iran. Beginning on 1 August, Zhang Rude, the captain of the "Galaxy" freighter, found a US ** ship following closely behind.

August 3rd. In another representation with the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the United States demanded that the Chinese government order the "Galaxy" freighter to return to its place of departure; or by U.S. persons boarding the ship to inspect the cargo; Or simply stay in a certain place and wait for the fate to fall. The United States also disseminated the information it had obtained to the countries where the vessel planned to call at ports and requested them accordingly to prevent the vessel from entering the port as planned to unload. During this time, China's international reputation was considered to be a stink.

At 8 a.m. on the same day, after the "Yinhe" arrived in the Gulf of Oman, a US helicopter circled over the "Yinhe" and tracked it, taking pictures of the "Yinhe" from time to time. At 12:30 p.m. on the same day, the U.S. warship No. 61 "Ali. The Burke-class Aegis missile destroyer approached the Milky Way freighter and followed it all the way.

At 19:30 on the same day, the "Galaxy" cargo ship anchored in the Gulf of Oman about 11 nautical miles from the Strait of Hormuz according to the company's instructions. During this period. With this ship No. 61 of the American "Arleigh. Three U.S. warships, led by the Burke-class Aegis missile destroyer, took turns sailing around the "Galaxy" freighter at a distance of 2 to 5 nautical miles. Various fighter jets, helicopters, reconnaissance planes constantly hovered around it at low altitudes.

On 7 August, the head of the Chinese Foreign Ministry solemnly pointed out in a statement that the US side's claim that the departure date, departure port and arrival port of China's "galaxy" are completely untrue, and that the so-called chemical weapons precursors carried by the cargo ship are pure rumors. He also strongly protested the US side's hegemonic behavior of ignoring China's clarifications.

On August 12, a senior U.S. official declared: "We have credible intelligence that the ship is carrying chemical weapons precursors, and we are determined to inspect the ship." ”

More than 10 days after anchoring outside the Strait of Hormuz, the "Milky Way" moved another 38 nautical miles to the southwest after intergovernmental representations. Moored in the high seas of the Oman Sea, about 50 nautical miles off the port of Fujairah in northeastern the United Arab Emirates, the "Galaxy" entered the port of Dammam and was inspected by representatives of the Chinese and Saudi governments. The United States sent experts to participate in the inspection as technical advisers to the Saudi side.

On the morning of August 28, the US and Saudi Arabian personnel, accompanied by Chinese personnel, counted and inspected the cargo on board.

At 10:10 a.m. on August 29, the box was opened and inspected, and no prohibited items were detected.

At 5:20 p.m. on September 1, the three sides resumed talks. In order to clarify the truth to the world, the Chinese side solemnly declares that the Chinese side agrees to expand inspections while opposing the above-mentioned demands of the United States.

On September 4, representatives of China and Saudi Arabia and US advisers signed an inspection report confirming that the "Galaxy" did not contain thiodiethylene glycol and thionyl chloride, the "precursors of chemical weapons".

One thing is certain: No matter how unfavorable the result is for the United States, or how embarrassing it is for the United States, it will not be able to stop the United States from power politics and hegemonic style.
