Chapter 43 Procurement
"Uh, Soviet-themed novels?" Douglas was really hesitant. This is not an economic problem. Things that are affected by things and confrontation are very sensitive in the United States today.
The United States was in Reagan's administration at this time, perhaps because of his actor experience. Reagan attached great importance to cultural competition during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. Facts also prove that Reagan's persistent propaganda policy can be said to have thrown the last straw on the Soviet Union.
During this period, many American cultural works were more or less influenced by the US State Department, or even the direct role of CIA. The US State Department is different from China, and this is an important unit in the United States that manages diplomacy or controls the world.
There is a saying that the US president can manage the world except the United States - and this kind of global influence of the United States is achieved through the US State Department. It is conceivable what kind of powerful department this is.
At this time, Douglas really realized that the Chinese in front of him actually came from the "legendary" mainland China. What kind of things he would write is really worrying.
Although the United States is known as "freedom of public opinion", it is not the kind of place where public rumors are all fine in later generations. The real rule here is that you can say what you want to say, but at the same time you must be responsible for what you have said.
If Hu Wenhai really said something about "responsible" in the article and turned around and patted his butt and returned to China, then the one who would pay the price would be the Scholar Publishing House.
"If it's this kind of subject, I'm very sorry. The publisher must confirm the content..."
Although only the word "content confirmation" was used, Hu Wenhai knew that Douglas meant that it was actually "review". However, this was also the case. It was as if it was impossible for the Soviet Union to openly publish books praising capitalism (Gorbachev, General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, himself, to openly publish articles that advocated ** in the United States.
This is an unreasonable industry norm in the context of the Cold War in the East and the West. Not only the publishing industry, but patriotism is a natural thing in the United States, right? Just like John Kennedy's famous saying, don't ask what the country has done for you, first ask what you have done for the country.
To be honest, Hu Wenhai personally likes the political view of the world of "Starship Paratroopers"...
Hu Wenhai shook his head gently, dispelled these inexplicable thoughts, and said happily: "This is okay, I will not cause trouble for Mr. Douglas, and the content will definitely not be too sensitive."
"Ah, that's good." Douglas finally breathed a sigh of relief at this point and smiled sincerely.
Seeing that the two sides reached a consensus so easily, Scott and Badala quickly raised their glasses to celebrate. Since they received Hu Wenhai's manuscript, the two have invested in the Scholars Publishing House, and are now the second and third largest shareholders after Douglas.
As long as you can publish these works by Hu Wenhai, I believe that it will be much easier for Scholars to become famous. As long as there is no big problem in business, it will be a stable source of income in the future. How could the two of you not be excited? Hu Wenhai himself also expects that high-quality model aircraft can become famous in the United States through topgun promotion, so it is naturally not easy to deal with their relationship with them.
So on the premise that the three parties intend to please each other, the meal was really happy, with relaxed laughter from time to time. Compared with the generally calm atmosphere in the Freddy restaurant, the guests at this table were obviously in good business negotiations, which frequently caused envious gazes of other people who were struggling by difficult customers.
Hu Wenhai actually had a temporary idea. Before he was reborn, he really read a brain-study script called "Dynamic Zeta" online, which interestingly told a story of the Soviet version of 007.
But simply spoofing it was not the effect he wanted, although it could fulfill the little bad taste he had when he was online. The reason why Hu Wenhai wanted to speak out on the Soviet issue was actually a big reason that he hoped to become a "Soviet expert".
Gorbachev will come to power soon in 1985, and then the Soviet Union will face a series of dazzling "reforms" and "struggle". During this period, major events such as the normalization of China's relations with the Soviet Union were accompanied by major events. Although the Soviet Union has only seven years of life left, there are countless opportunities for people to do.
In history, the Clinton era, when the United States dominated the 1990s and the domestic economy was thriving, was somewhat due to the dividends after the fall of the bear.
If the situation allows, Hu Wenhai does not mind "accurately" predicting the direction of several major events. I believe that after this series of predictions become a reality, his voice will be significantly improved, both domestic and internationally. When the bear falls, or even before it falls, it can affect domestic policies towards the Soviet Union. The prospects contained in it should not be too amazing.
And if he is closer to the "crow's mouth", then anyone who wants to go against Hu Wenhai must be frightened first. If this kid casually says something unfavorable to him...
This idea is the same as if he did not choose to hide the lottery winning information. This world is often irrational, or very empirical. Even if rationally thinks that it is impossible for someone to predict the future, or is born with undefeated luck. But when people face an enemy who is always victorious and has a great luck, they may not be able to exert their full combat effectiveness even if they can achieve five points.
As soon as he thinks of this kind of scene, to be honest, Hu Wenhai really wants to see if he can "scan his face to get rid of the enemy".
However, Hu Wenhai has not forgotten his original intention of going to the United States. After completing the preliminary preparations, he started his original work without stopping to do what he had to do - to make a big purchase for the Hengjianyun company to change clothes.
In Hu Wenhai's vision, the image of Hengjianyun Company is of course the future special forces. Although it seems a bit old-fashioned and vulgar, it is undeniable that the special forces technology is indeed an indispensable part of the modern war system and an extremely important part.
In the Enlightenment War in the Gulf War in modern information war, the first shot of the US Army was the special forces raiding in a low altitude by helicopters. Iraq's crucial early warning radar, that is, the meter-wave radar that may pose a threat to the F-117 stealth bomber, was eliminated by them.
It was precisely because of the loss of the early warning of the Mibo radar that Iraq completely opened its arms to the F-117, revealing its charming and lustfulness, ahem...
In short, in modern information warfare, if there is any military that is most in line with the idea of operational central warfare, it is definitely the special forces.
Since the Hengjianyun Company is going to arm the special forces, what equipment does Hu Wenhai want to purchase? By the way, even the US military's own special forces are still exploring information technology these days, and even if there is anything good, it cannot be sold directly on the market. Even if it is to be sold, it must be sold by NATO members themselves, and it is even less likely to openly supply China - even in 1984. After all, the so-called "Out-staff NATO" is still the outside-staff.
If the relationship between the United States and China is really so strong, it wouldn’t be helpful for China to improve the J-8 fighter jet. How good is it to sell two F-14 production lines directly? Well, Hu Wenhai admits that he is a "cat slave".
Therefore, if he wants to realize his vision, he must ultimately develop the spirit of Nanniwan and make enough food and clothing by himself.
Then the first thing he purchased must be electronic equipment? Wrong, if what is the most important thing for a soldier's combat effectiveness, then it is the weapon in his hand. But if it has the greatest impact on combat status, many people will probably say it is - combat boots.
An infantryman may only fire in a war and only one-thousandth of the battlefield time, but most of the time, he has to move. Therefore, having a pair of good military boots is crucial to protect the combat effectiveness of soldiers. Similarly, there are carriage tools, military uniforms, labor protection gloves, backpacks, etc., but the technical content is not high and can be processed in China.
Before the new century, the People's Liberation Army basically did not consider the feelings of soldiers. It was about people adapting to equipment, rather than equipment adapting to people. During the two-mountain rotation stage, there was actually a very embarrassing situation in many frontline photos, that is, our soldiers are often **.
Is this the logistics situation of our army in a bad way? Yes, no matter how bad the logistics of the China ** team is, it will not allow the soldiers to go to the battlefield. But the unique climate of the tropical jungle makes soldiers extremely uncomfortable. In the environments such as frontline cat ear piercings, the long-term high temperature and high humidity make people unable to stand the friction between their clothes and their bodies, and may even lead to the occurrence of "cracks".
In this case, it is not new to PLA soldiers to choose **. However, it is obviously not possible during the battle, so having a set of jungle boots and a comfortable, soft and not fitting military uniform is very important to ensure combat effectiveness.
However, high-spin yarn and high-density poplin fabrics can also be found in China, so you don’t have to go to the United States to purchase them. Most of the materials similar to military boots are also available in China. The most important thing about these things is a design idea. Hu Wenhai’s favorite is actually the only one, that is, the special rubber for combat boots soles of vibram. Making Panama soles for military boots suitable for Vietnamese mountain environments, using vibram rubber can be said to be the best choice.
Well, since Hu Wenhai took action once, of course it is impossible to be stingy. As grand as we are, we must start by establishing a concept, that is, the product of Hu Ji must be a high-quality product!
