Chapter 568 Before you found the Chinese, we had already started cooperating
At the same time, Chang Haonan and Ding Gaoheng were planning how to provide support for the domestic jet airliner platform.
Paris France.
Compared to the Chinese Navy, which summed up its experience and lessons in the joy of victory, the French’s reaction was another story.
Although the French army does not regard the Japanese as allies (in fact, the French army from the 1990s to the early 21st century may not really regard the US military as an ally), therefore this matter does not involve the siege of friendly forces and can be regarded as a simple matter. to expel unfriendly third-country vessels.
But blowing up someone else’s submarine is a big deal after all.
Therefore, after leaving China, fleet commander Laurie Vojul immediately reported the situation to the mainland via radio.
They also sent two staff officers to transit via Singapore and fly back to the mainland in advance with a detailed incident report and some video and image evidence.
Firstly, it is to prevent the Japanese who are living a good life from taking a bite in advance, and secondly, it is to shirk the blame for themselves.
After all, all the data can prove that until the Harushio-class submarine surfaced, the joint military exercise fleet “mistakenly believed” that it was an imaginary enemy target preset for the exercise.
Of course, some of the Lieutenant General’s own emotions were also added to it.
Minister of Military Affairs Alain Richard was flipping through a naval report in front of him with complicated emotions.
But now, Richard’s mind was in a mess.
Even the minister’s secretary, Alv Busson, knocked on the door and came in without noticing.
The latter belongs to the “Secretary of State” in the French administrative system, not Richard’s personal secretary. Although there is a relationship between the two, they do not belong to the same system. In many cases, they are more Similar to cooperation.
But the problem is that it is indeed a bit too dry.
As he spoke, he poured two more glasses of sparkling water, and handed one of them to Busin.
As a new minister who took office in January this year with only three months of experience, his business proficiency is not high enough.
“Oh, Elvy, I’m fine.”
Of course, it omitted his own psychological activities of setting up a trap to make the Chinese people look bad before the exercise, and did not mention that a fellow countryman had conducted a PY transaction with him before the fleet set off…
Because it was written temporarily on the ship, the binding is relatively crude, and there are even many parts with blurred writing.
Compared with the reports that I have seen too many times, presented by civil servants, with gorgeous words but incomprehensible meaning, and needing to find the key points between the lines to avoid being fooled, the thin pages in front of me are clear in ideas, concise and concise, and are all useful. dry stuff.
“Yes, much more important than the defense report.”
so. There was so much information that he didn’t know where to start.
For example, Eurocopter is shameless and engages in false propaganda regarding the performance of its helicopters. The products they make are not as good as other people’s imitations. We were slapped in the face during the exercise and could not hold our heads up at all. This goes on. If there is no country, how can we talk about restoring the glory of France…
“Mr. Minister, are you okay?”
In short, although Busson believes that he has done nothing wrong, if the person in front of him makes another mistake, it will definitely cause a new blow to his professional reputation.
Bussen looked at his minister who had been motionless for several minutes and whose facial muscles were constantly twitching, as if he was going to have a stroke or shock at any time. He shouted with some concern.
Fortunately, Richard was in good health and kept himself clean. He was just meditating just now, and he immediately reacted after being called.
He put the report back on the table, stood up and stretched his somewhat stiff body and facial muscles:
“I’m just reading a very…rich national defense report. Do you have anything to ask me about?”
If someone dared to hand over something like this in ordinary times, he would definitely make a note of it in his heart.
The last minister he served before was exposed for tax evasion, the last deputy minister was forced to resign due to a **** scandal, and the last MP was unable to perform his duties due to illness…
Buson put the thick stack of documents he was holding on the table, and then took the goblet:
“May is coming soon, Labor Day and Victory Day in World War II. The Ministry of National Defense regularly organizes a celebration dinner every year, and I need you to sign some invitations.”
After speaking, he pointed to the file box on the desktop:
“I have already divided it into categories for you. You can just sign your name as required, or you and your wife’s name.”
As a member of the old European old money countries, France still needs to have a certain tone.
Of course ordinary people can use printed signatures, but at the upper levels, they still have to sign by hand to show etiquette and attention.
Just like the New Year greetings messages from China, there are also group and single messages. Richard looked at the document, which was half a meter high, and almost threw the cup away with a trembling hand:
“Is this more important than the defense report?”
Buson drank all the sparkling water in the glass and nodded:
“No one will know about the national defense report even if you don’t read it, but if the invitation is not issued or is sent late, it may offend many important people. If they agree in advance to participate in activities organized by other departments, it will not be easy for us here. Looks good…”
“This is different. It was sent back urgently by the visiting fleet commander General Vojour. It involves foreign relations, equipment development and…in short, many issues.”
Speaking of this report, Richard suddenly felt that the sparkling water in his hand was no longer tasty. He quickly sat back on the chair and pulled out the report that was buried under a pile of invitations.
Fortunately, after this incident, his mind was much clearer than before.
The Japanese side is unreasonable, so just issue a note to condemn it. Anyway, even if the matter becomes serious, they will be the ones who are embarrassed in the end.
What really makes the Ministry of National Defense lose face is the performance of the French army in the exercise.
According to Vojul, Jean Bart was completely cheating during the whole process…
“Oh, how come the army has become like this!”
He organized his thoughts and raised his head again to look at Busin:
“Alvey, please draft an official letter immediately. I will attach an excerpt of the report and send it to the Aerospace Industry Association to see what they have to say.”
…
The other side.
In fact, there was no need for Alvey to send the official letter at all.
Vojour sent two confidants to fly back to Paris. One went to find the Ministry of Defense, and the other directly found Le Maire, the vice chairman of the Aerospace Industry Association who had had PY transactions with him, and gave the latter a letter. .
In the letter, the lieutenant general tearfully denounced the fellow villagers’ inhumane behavior, saying that the anti-submarine exercise had made him miserable and almost disrupted the planned exercise plan.
He also hinted that although the purpose of “promoting French products to China” was not achieved, and it was even counterproductive to a certain extent, I didn’t even give up face for your words, brother. You can’t go back on the position you agreed on before. .
Flamel looked at it and shook his head slightly.
He felt that with his shame, he might not be able to enter politics in this life.
“The Ministry of National Defense is expected to send us an official letter asking about the situation soon.”
Flamel put the copies of the letters and reports back into the drawer, turned around and looked at Kurt Jean Pierre sitting on the sofa next to him:
“You should also start making preparations. It will probably take some time to deal with those countries.”
“It is estimated that the Netherlands will be easy to persuade, and Germany may be a little more troublesome. What I am most worried about is the Italians. AgustaWestland and Fiat both have core interests in the NH90 project, and I am afraid they will not give in so easily.”
After saying this, the atmosphere between the two fell into a strange silence.
Flamel noticed something strange in Pierre’s eyes:
“is there a problem?”
“No…”
Pierre scratched his head, seeming to be thinking about how to make the next words less hurtful:
“Actually, after I came back from Singapore, I have been communicating with several partners about this matter, but you don’t know it…”
“Agosta sent me a memo two days ago. I think you need to read it. You may not know the contents…”
He took out two pages of paper from the briefcase he carried with him and handed them to Flamel opposite.
The latter took it in his hand, glanced at the contents quickly, and then his face froze:
“Ah?”
The contents of the memo are concise and concise—
It doesn’t matter, before you came to the Chinese people, we had actually started to cooperate with them.
