1383 The late Soviets arrived before the Americans
He felt that Alex was too worried.
China is not worth worrying about, it is the Soviet Union.
Alex shook his head and looked at the Deputy Minister of National Defense. How did these people know how scary the Chinese are?
They have no correct understanding of China at all.
It is generally believed that China is poor and backward in the United States, which is far behind the United States.
Alex, who has been to China in person, knows that China's construction speed is faster than any country's development.
"Minister, what should the Chinese do if they don't have enough funds? They are likely to give up introducing our technology because of lack of funds. By now, China and the Soviet Union have entered the stage of substantive negotiations. If they want to stop the cooperation between the two sides, they must come up with conditions to make China tempt... In order to promote cooperation, the Soviet Union provided a loan of 10 billion rubles. The Chinese only need to repay the loan with the light industrial products they produce..."
This is what Alex is most worried about.
Previously, they proposed to the government that they would operate in the Soviet Union and that the Federal Reserve would lend to China.
Loans are not directly provided to China, but are issued to U.S. units that export technology. These units provide technology to China and China repays U.S. loans.
Unfortunately, this plan was blocked.
The U.S. government is unwilling to use this method.
The whole world knows that Chinese people are poor.
It turns out that the United States tried its best to promote various advanced military technologies to China, but China refused because it had no money.
In the end, it only cost 550 million US dollars to ask Grumman to help them improve the J-8ii fighter, used to intercept the Tu-22m3 counterfire bomber that the Soviet Union could perform supersonic penetration.
Secretary of State James Edison Baker listened to the conversation between the two and said with a relaxed look, "Two, don't worry so much. Our trip will be very easy. China has been seeking cooperation with us. We take the initiative to provide technical assistance. They cannot ask for it and will not refuse..."
The new secretary of state believes that the Chinese will be extremely happy about their arrival.
The introduction of American technology has gone a step further from their participation in the World Trade Organization.
The Chinese do not respect intellectual property rights and even the United States does not want to provide them with technology. Isn’t this confirmation?
Alex smiled bitterly, "His Excellency Secretary, do you not understand the Chinese? Even if the Chinese have ideas, they will not really reveal them. When their true intentions are completely revealed, it will be difficult for us to change them again. Either refuse or accept their proposals, otherwise, we will not be able to reach a cooperation agreement."
The newly appointed Secretary of State was questioned that he did not understand the Chinese and was immediately angry.
Holding down your anger, he calmly told Alex, "Mr. Colonel, although you have been studying China, your research is only about China's economy and their technology... The Ministry of Foreign Affairs often deals with Chinese people, so they naturally understand their personalities..."
Seeing Alex's expression was ridiculous and unwilling to believe his remarks, the Secretary of State became even more angry.
I was very unhappy about this director of the Asian Strategy Analysis Office, who thought that only he knew Chinese people.
"China wants to join the World Trade Organization now, and their technical standards are different from ours. To join the World Trade Organization, we must introduce international standards, and international standards are in our hands..."
The Secretary of State's words made many people around him smile on their faces.
In this world, mastering standards is very important.
Whoever masters technical standards will formulate the rules of the game.
Business head Michael looked relaxed, "Secretary of State is right. If Chinese people want to join the World Trade Organization, they must first pass our qualities. If we take the initiative to provide technical assistance, they should accept it even more happily. Otherwise, it will not be easy for us. Even if other countries agree, what if they do?"
For the US government, it is common to have the right to formulate rules of the game and let other countries act according to their intentions.
Colonel Alex knew that things were definitely not as simple as they thought, and so easy.
In order to make China a market for the United States, the government also hopes that China's technology will be fully moved towards the United States and introduce a full set of American standards. The Chinese have always been far-sighted, so how could they agree?
What's more, introducing these technologies requires huge funds.
China is short of money!
At this time, Alex did not argue. After arriving in China, other senior officials who felt it was easy to deal with China would clearly know that things were not as easy as they thought.
The plane is flying smoothly, and it will be a long time to cross the entire Pacific Ocean to China.
China has long been ready to welcome it.
After receiving the upcoming notice from the Americans, the 404 people were worried.
"What's going on now? The Ukrainians colluded with the Americans? How can we greet them when they arrived almost at the same time?"
Long Yaohua's head is big.
The Americans and the Soviets achieved the same time, but things were never expected before.
The Ukrainian delegation had set out before, but when their team came over, it seemed like a tour, and they stopped while walking, but the arrival time was almost the same as that of the US delegation.
Even if the arrival time interval between the two teams is one or two hours, it is convenient for China to operate.
Now the time between the two sides is only about twenty minutes apart. If the Soviets fly slowly, it is possible to arrive at the same time.
How to welcome this?
Li Mingshan was also frowning.
"Or why we go and welcome the Ukrainians in the United States and let the 404 people welcome the Ukrainians."
His proposal is quite reliable.
404 has been in contact with Ukraine and is also a party to the main cooperation negotiations.
Americans indicate that people who want 404 are negotiating with them. In this case, there is no big problem for people who don’t welcome Americans.
Xie Kai and others were also shocked when they received the notice.
They had no idea that the Ukrainians deliberately arrived with the Americans. Isn’t this forcing them to choose a partner?
"What's the matter!" Wang Guilin even swears.
"What's going on now? It seems that this is not enough if you don't welcome the Ukrainians. After all, it's mainly about cooperating with them... If you don't welcome the Americans, your superiors may accuse us of disrupting cooperation." Zheng Yu, Chengdu, was so distressed.
I have never experienced this kind of thing, and even the government is probably helpless now.
If the relationship between the two countries is good, we will welcome them together.
The United States and the Soviet Union have never dealt with each other. They arrived at the same time within half an hour. If they were not careful, the two sides would meet each other.
Zheng Yucheng looked at Xie Kai's eyes rolling around and asked, "What do you think? Tell me out if you have any ideas. Whether it is feasible or not, you have to come up with a solution..."
"Or the Soviets and the Americans will be welcomed together, and then the three sides will sit together to talk."
Xie Kai's proposal was completely ill-intentioned.
If that was true, I guess there would be nothing to talk about, it would be up to the Soviets to fight with the Americans.
When Wang Guilin heard this, he was shocked.
"Forget it, if the two sides fight, we can't mediate. The Soviets and the United States have always had to fight each other whenever they have the chance."
In international occasions, whether the Soviet Union or the United States, they will compete when they seize opportunities.
Letting both sides sit together to negotiate with China will be of great benefit to China.
If the delegations of both sides take action directly, the consequences will be serious.
Zheng Yucheng never felt that things were as difficult as they are now.
In the past, Iraqis and Persians appeared at the same time, and they could handle it.
Now the United States and the Soviet Union, Iraq and Persians are not on the same level as the same magnitude.
At that time, Iraqis and Persians came to China to purchase weapons and equipment, while Americans and Soviets came to China to promote technology.
What's more, the United States and the Soviet Union are giants, and any country will tremble if the earth is stomping its feet.
Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan had no better way, and they were unable to make up their minds for a while.
Looking at the list, Long Yaohua finally gritted his teeth and said, "Just let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcome the US delegation. As the head of the delegation, the US Secretary of State has the matter of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Cooperation negotiations are the next thing. As long as the military sends representatives, it is already in line with etiquette."
The US Secretary of State led a delegation, so naturally the Foreign Ministry's affairs were concerned.
I don’t know why the Ministry of Foreign Affairs handed over to the military to welcome him.
Long Yaohua and the others first thought that the Americans and the Ukrainians arrived almost at the same time, and did not consider this issue.
When both sides arrived, we could welcome the Americans who arrived first, and return to welcome the Soviets.
This solution is no longer possible now.
The speed of the Soviet planes is too fast to control, right?
Li Mingshan had no other way, "Just do it like this."
The Soviets were much more direct than the Americans!
Although there were diplomatic personnel in the delegation sent this time, the entire delegation took Vitor, chairman of the Ukrainian Military Industry Commission, as the head, and the purpose was simple and clear.
In order to show the strength of the Soviet state and show the Chinese that the Soviet Union's technology is reliable, the Ukrainians actually took the An-124 to China this time.
The interior of the An-124 cabin is no longer as simple as before. Some business aircraft have been renovated to visit China.
When she saw An-124's huge size appearing over the airport again and gradually lowering the height, Xie Kai, who was already waiting at the airport, said with a tangled look: "These Soviets are so fucking too much!"
There is a sour taste in the tone.
The Soviets drove such a large plane, which was originally said to arrive more than 20 minutes later than the Americans. Now, looking at the time, it was actually early!
It's more than ten minutes earlier than the Americans.
Zheng Yucheng looked at the huge plane and his eyes became hot again.
"Or what if I can get this plane back?"
This is the second time he has said this.
The first time I said I wanted to do An-124 was denied by Xie Kai. When I saw it again, I didn’t change my mind either.
“This plane is too big.”
Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan didn't say anything when they heard their words.
404 These people are now getting bigger and bigger and want to get everything.
Xie Kai shook his head and looked at Zheng Yucheng, "Forget it, An-124 is a bit useless to us. If you want to do it, just do An-225."
Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan were shocked and were about to remind Xie Kai, but when they saw Zheng Yucheng shook his head quickly, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Chapter completed!
