Chapter 28 Stay Away from Civilization
Chapter 28 [Far from Civilization] After listening to it, I frowned and said, "That is to say, this small African country, G, introduces aviation technology to the West and then sells it to us, right?" I shook my head: "Isn't it too obvious to do this?" Ren Lei remained calm, but with a smile in his eyes: "Chen, many things in politics are not so simple... Do you know which country leads the so-called technical barriers of Western countries?" The United States."
I still know this.
"Then I can tell you that Americans are very clear about our round-trip purchase of technology this time! Because the Americans who sell these six technologies to the G country are the Americans.
I was stunned.
"Let's put it this way... Chen Yang."
Ren Lei took a cigarette again, quietly asked me slowly: "First of all, let me ask you, you just saw the information of country G, a country with a land area as large as ours, a small country in Africa, a population of several million, and the gross national product is even as good as a medium family in the United States. The wealth of small African countries... And those six aviation technologies, although not very top-notch, are also the high-end technologies we need at present.
He spread out his hands and made a comparison: "One is a small African country with poverty and coups, and the other is high-end technology for aviation.
If a small African country wants such technology, can it be useful by itself? Do you expect G countries to build their own planes? Their army is still using guns eliminated by other countries! Not to mention that they make their own airplanes, they don't even have their own factory to produce cars! Even idiots know that these six technologies are useless to the G country itself.
They want these six technologies.
There is only one possibility, which is to resell it to other countries.
At this point, he looked at me and said, "You know this truth, and I know it.
Americans are not idiots, don't they understand? And the CIA is very powerful in Africa. They must know our operation.
But this is a secret that everyone knows, and they acquiesced.
"Technological barriers have existed for more than half a century.
Think about how much the world pattern has changed in the past half a century. The Soviet Union has disintegrated, the Cold War has ended, and the European Union has been established... A technical barrier established in the old era has been outdated, and the Americans themselves know it.
But the problem is... The existence of this technical barrier has a special historical background. To remove this barrier, it will take a long time to slowly disintegrate it.
It is impossible for Americans to do this with great fanfare.
And to be honest, many technologies, even if Americans don't sell them, we have other channels to get them. The European Union has already engaged in economic confrontation with the United States, and some European countries are willing to cooperate with us.
Such a situation.
A technical barrier has become the ears of deaf mortals, just a decoration.
In private, we are introducing all kinds of technologies we need in many, many ways... And what we are doing now is just one of them.
Moreover, Americans still have a cunning place... The reason why they don't propose to remove technical barriers is to make money! Because of technical barriers, it is impossible for other countries to publicly transfer technology to us.
And Americans are the leaders of this barrier. They can take this thing as a shackle on our heads and extort it at any time.
Moreover, because of technical barriers, in the agreement country, others do not sell technology, but this big American secretly sells technology by himself, which is making money!" I understand that setting up a game rule to prevent others from doing business, but I am doing it secretly.
It's really cunning!" There are many reasons... Once anything is related to politics, it is not so simple.
Ren Lei said slowly, "These six technologies.
Americans know very well that we actually bought it in the name of G, and they have acquiesced in this.
As long as we make the surface cleaner and do it well on the surface.
superficial article, who can't do it? Nominally, we didn't break the technical barriers, that's fine.
In fact, everyone knows it.
"What about me? What's the point of my existence? I frowned.
"You are a Canadian investment businessman."
Ren Lei smiled cunningly: "What you do in Africa has nothing to do with us... At least it has nothing to do with us in name.
This matter can't be without you... Because the G country can't transfer technology to us in the name of the country.
These will be clearly written in the terms of technology transfer.
The United States sells technology to G countries, but G countries cannot sell them to us... At the national level, technology cannot be transferred.
But...civilian companies can do it! That is to say, we can't buy six technologies directly from G countries, but we can buy them from the upcoming 'East African United Airlines'.
This is just a guise that everyone knows well.
Although everyone knows it, we still need to use this guise, because Americans now acquiesce. God knows whether they will use this matter as international news to hype it in the future, or sue us at the meeting of the agreement countries with technical barriers, saying that we have illegally obtained technology. ...So everything is just drilling through the loopholes in the treaty.
But at least we don't have a clear violation of the relevant terms.
Even if Americans make a fusss about this matter afterwards, they can't find anything wrong.
So, your guise is also necessary.
** The violent airflow was bumpy, and the fuselage of the plane seemed to shake so much that it was about to fall apart.
I don't know how many years old this old former Soviet Union "young fox" military transport plane has a history. The fuselage is so dilapidated that people can't help but think of the garbage cans in those alleys in Vancouver. The roar of the spiral pulp makes my headache.
The leather surface of the plane's seat has long been dilapidated, and the discolored sea surface inside has been exposed... Damn it, I even feel that when the airflow is strong, I don't know where the iron sheet in the plane is! If I could land safely, I would never come to Africa to take this kind of plane again in my life!" I sat in my seat and sighed.
Qiao Qiao next tolooked calm, and she even listened to the music with MP4.
In addition to the members of the flight team, there are two black people on the plane. At first glance, they are the people of honor. The handle of the dagger is exposed in their trousers, but there is a trace of yin and fierceness in their eyes.
We took off at Cairo Airport in the evening, then transferred to a small country in East Africa, and then at the capital airport of that small country. After waiting for one night, we finally waited for the "special plane" sent by the G-country trapped tower general to pick us up!! [ Heaven's Kiss] The two black soldiers don't know whether to protect us or monitor us. Anyway, I always feel that their eyes are a little malicious, and they keep talking about something in a low voice.
And their eyes were very unfriendly. The hammer around me felt this unfriendly look, and I couldn't help staring back. The other party also raised his chin without showing weakness, and his eyes were full of provocation.
However, they are always well-behaved and sit still.
I didn't know until later that it turned out that this poor G country not only did not have its own air force, but also had a few military aircraft.
And the Soviet 1950s and 1960s young fox military transport plane we are on is already their presidential plane.
It seems that the president of this small African country, Mr. Panta, is not living a good life. I smiled maliciously in my heart.
Near noon, the plane began to land obviously, and the fuselage shook more violently. I could even obviously feel the fuselage swinging from side to side. I looked out of the window, the plane flew over a jungle and then landed in an open space that could barely be called an "airport"! In this so-called airport, there is only a very dilapidated runway, a tower, a rotten warehouse below, and nothing else.
The plane finally landed on the ground, and I was relieved.
Under the fierce shock, the airport ran to raise a large area of yellow dust, which is enough to show how "flat" the runway is! The two black soldiers pushed the door of the cabin a few times and did not open it. They simply kicked it twice with their feet, and then put down the ladder to let us go down.
I walked down the ladder, fanned the dust in front of me hard, and looked around... The airport was obviously opened in a jungle.
It is surrounded by jungles and mountains, and there is a smell of some kind of wild animal feces in the air.
When I stepped on the ground, several black soldiers were waiting around me.
They have automatic rifles in their hands and wear green military uniforms, but they all look sloppy. Their black skin is oily and bright in the sun.
A burly black man with a crooked berry hat came to me. He looked very fierce. He stared at me for several times, and then asked in French, "Mr. Chen?" Qiao Qiao translated it for me, and I nodded.
"Come with us."
He was not polite at all. He just waved his hand, and then a large group of black soldiers walked around me and my people around half-protection and half-monitoring to the edge of the airport. Several cars parked here were so dilapidated that it made people doubt whether they had been collected from the abandoned factory.
And on a jeep, there is a machine gun, and the yellow bullet chain underneath is lazily spread on the shelf.
Qiao Qiao and I sat in the first car with a hammer. The big black man in a beret sat next to us. I saw a machete on his waist, which was red and black, which was obviously the blood rust left over the years!
