Chapter 1191 UFO Incident 12
The French engineers who returned to the hotel had nothing to do. After finally coming to Xiangjiang, I must understand the local customs and customs here. And the French have always been very romantic. Who doesn’t want a perfect encounter? But what people didn't expect was that Dominic Dassault, the young man, did not go out; instead, he was thinking about how to report to the country.
It is the first time to lead a team to negotiate, but it is very critical. It is very difficult to take over the management of the company. If this matter is messed up, there will be no hope at all.
But if he lets his uncles manage the company, his life will definitely not be easy. The most you can do is share some money and become a rich man. The life of living under someone else's roof was definitely not what he expected. Then I can only think about how to convince grandpa, and at least bring some results back. Dominique Dassault simply couldn't imagine if he just went back in despair; what his so-called uncles would look like, I guess cynicism would be considered good.
After waiting for 6 hours in the hotel, the French side has already gone to work. I immediately called the old Dassault assistant and learned that the old man had come to the company; he was just still patrolling the workshop.
Hearing this, I felt relieved. This is my grandfather's working habit. Every day when I come here, I have to visit the workshop before going to the office to handle company affairs. However, in order to reduce the work pressure of the elderly, chores have been arranged for other people to handle as much as possible. But even so, many matters related to aircraft design still need to be reviewed by the old man personally; the workload is definitely not small, especially for a 90-year-old man.
The assistant said that he would call him as soon as the elder Dassault came to the office. Dominique Dassault is not entangled, and that's all he can do for now. And there is no better way. After all, grandpa's work habits cannot be ruined because of something that is not particularly urgent. The old man usually has a good temper, but if someone affects him, he will get angry. Dominique Dassault has seen it with his own eyes.
Old Dassault came to the office and asked immediately: "Is there any news about Xiangjiang?"
Hearing this, the assistant did not dare to neglect at all, and said quickly: "Mr. Dassault called me an hour ago and said that he would wait for you to come to the office and report something to you."
Old Dassault: "Put me through the call from Xiangjiang."
The assistant quickly followed the boss's instructions without daring to delay for a moment.
Old Dassault's status in Dassault Company may be higher than Bao Zixuan's status in Heiyun Group. After all, he is already a legend, and even the symbol and totem of the company. Having experienced the baptism of World War II and being able to emerge from the concentration camp alive, one can definitely be considered to have a halo around him. After returning to France, he quickly got the company back on track, which deserves everyone's respect.
The call was quickly connected, and the old Dassault said with a smile: "Dominique, it's already night in Xiangjiang now! How about it, I'm still used to it in the past!"
Everyone has family affection and selfishness, and old Dassault is no exception. No matter how old his grandson is, he will always be a child in his heart. It's his first time to go out to negotiate, but don't put too much pressure on him. In fact, the old man already regretted a little at this time. He should not have been so arbitrary and wasted time. As a result, no one in the family has grown up; not even one can be of great use.
Although Dominic Dassault is very good, compared with himself when he was young, and compared with other young people, especially Bao Zixuan, he is still far behind. This is all because of insufficient exercise. If he had been allowed to go out to exercise earlier, and with his own assistance and guidance, he might be able to take charge of his own business now.
I just hope I can live a little longer; dreams are great, but reality is often cruel. We can only do our best and obey fate.
Dominique Dassault also didn't expect that his grandfather had such a tender side. He actually didn't ask about the negotiation situation, but cared about whether he would adapt to Hong Kong, which was really touching.
But I came to Xiangjiang for work, and I still have to put my family ties aside first.
Dominique Dassault: "Xiangjiang is very good here. Although it is not as good as Paris, the supporting facilities are also very complete."
"I met Bao Zixuan this morning, and also saw the so-called third weapon and equipment. It happened to be a test flight, and Heiyun Group did not shy away from it; he took me and engineers from Dassault Company directly to the scene. visit."
Hearing that Heiyun Group can allow outsiders to visit the test flight subjects means that the performance of the aircraft has been stabilized, otherwise no one would dare to do so.
Old Dassault said with a smile: "So, what the other party developed is an aircraft. But it must not be an airplane, maybe it is the kind of legendary weapons and equipment; the kind that often appears in science fiction movies."
Hearing this, Dominique Dassault felt incredible. Could it be that someone had reported the news to his grandfather in advance. But it's impossible; the engineers who came here are basically not here. Moreover, he called him immediately. How could anyone be faster than him?
If we rely solely on guesswork, it can only prove that ginger is still hotter than old.
Dominique Dassault said excitedly: "Grandpa, how do you know? Did Bao Zixuan tell you about it?"
Hearing this, Lao Dassault was very emotional. As expected, his guess was correct. It seemed that Bao Zixuan had also referred to the German technical information. As for where they got it from, it no longer matters.
In fact, France also wanted to obtain the technical information from Germany back then. But the strength does not allow it, not to mention the Soviet Union and the United States, not even the United Kingdom can compare.
To say that France during World War II is simply a joke; even the French think so.
On September 1, 1939, Germany attacked Poland, Britain and France declared war on Germany, and World War II officially began. At the beginning of World War II, a major event shocked the world. France surrendered after holding on for 42 days. France, known as the world's most powerful army, surrendered so quickly. The situation after France's surrender was quite interesting, and it was a very embarrassing existence during World War II. At that time, two regimes were established in France, but neither was recognized.
Before World War II, France spent tens of billions of francs to build a line of defense, which was the famous Maginot Line. This line of defense was mainly built on the French-German border to prevent German invasion. The French naively thought that this line of defense could resist the German attack. Unexpectedly, the Germans bypassed this line of defense and attacked Paris directly from the northwest. After the German army entered Paris on June 14, 1940, the French government immediately collapsed and split. On June 21, 1940, Pétain's Vichy French government proposed a truce to Germany. This marked the surrender of France.
After the surrender of France, two regimes emerged. The first is the government headed by Marshal Pétain, which signed a surrender treaty with Germany. According to the armistice agreement, France was divided into two parts: "occupied zone" and "free zone". The occupied zone accounts for 60% of the country's territory and is directly occupied by Germany. However, the huge occupation fees are paid by France. All French administrative institutions in the occupied zone are retained, and management rights still belong to France. Vichy France managed the free zones. Free zones occupy 40% of France's territory, mainly in southern France. Of course, this also includes areas bordering the Mediterranean Sea.
Look again at the second regime. This regime was established by de Gaulle. When Marshal Pétain decided to surrender, de Gaulle firmly opposed it and asked France to resist to the end, but he did not adopt it. In the early morning of June 17, 1940, General de Gaulle bid farewell to British General Spears at the airport. Later, General de Gaulle caught up with the plane as it took off and climbed aboard. The day after escaping from France, with the support of British Prime Minister Churchill, General de Gaulle issued a "Message to the French People" on British Radio on the afternoon of June 18, calling on the French people to rise up and resist. This is the Free French regime.
Fortunately, as World War II progressed, Free France gradually became stronger, but its international status was still not high.
De Gaulle was personally unpopular internationally. Everyone knows the arrogant French, and de Gaulle is one of them. France has collapsed and needs foreign support. As a result, de Gaulle was still so arrogant that neither Churchill nor Roosevelt liked him. Some governors of French colonies directly said that they would not cooperate with the Allies as long as de Gaulle was around. As a result, Roosevelt continued to contact Marshal Pétain, preferring to cooperate with this puppet regime rather than with De Gaulle.
For a country that needs the help of the Allied Forces even to recover, let’s ask how much it can get even if it benefits. It's good that the United States and the United Kingdom don't let you pay back the money. How could they be thinking of you when they seized German technical information?
But the old Dassault could guess it because he had also seen the relevant technical drawings with his own eyes.
During World War II, Dassault Sr. refused to cooperate with Germany and was imprisoned in the Buchenwald concentration camp. But he was a well-known expert in the aviation field after all. In order to seduce him, the Germans showed him a lot of forward-looking technical information and drawings. But the old man was tough enough and remained unmoved.
In fact, to be honest, as an engineer, I am already excited. But as a conscientious person, we must not do that. The old man can definitely understand the big things right and wrong.
