Chapter 1351 Everyone Is Paying Attention 3
It was just a test flight of a flying saucer. I didn’t expect that it would cause so many things. Almost all leading heavy industry companies in developed countries are preparing to enter. During the Cold War, any scientific research results that could lead the technological trend of the times would receive special attention. Although the Heiyun Group is not as domineering as the United States and the Soviet Union at present, its technological level will definitely attract the attention of the world.
Every move of Bao Zixuan can make people follow the trend and even lead the trend of the times. In fact, this is not only true in the field of technology, but also in other aspects. Many well-known clothing brands want to find Mr. Bao to endorse them, but they are not so bold; most importantly, they don’t know how much endorsement fee they will give.
No one dares to imagine how far UFO technology will develop in the future. Whether it can replace airplanes and become a new means of transportation is not impossible. In-depth research and development must be carried out, and no one wants to lose at the starting line.
As another major arms exporter in Europe, the Swedes certainly do not want to miss this opportunity.
You must know that the Swedes are very arrogant. Although they are a permanently neutral country, their military strength is something that mustaches are afraid of.
During World War II, the German army was invincible throughout Europe and almost dominated Europe. But Germany did not touch Sweden. Sweden is considered by many to be Germany's main supplier of iron ore. This is a wrong belief. Since Sweden is rich in resources, wouldn't it be better for the Germans to take it down and mine it themselves?
In fact, throughout World War II, Sweden had a well-equipped, well-trained elite force with a number of 300,000 people. And Sweden has established a complete conscription system, which can carry out national defense mobilization in the short term. This is the real reason why Mustache dare not annex Sweden.
Even in modern society, Sweden has always been a neutral country and independently developed defensive capabilities. Sweden is not only at the world's advanced level in terms of air force fighters, but also in other aspects. In 1954, Sweden independently built a nuclear reactor, which had the ability to develop nuclear weapons. In terms of anti-aircraft weapons, Sweden's Erbus and Robert missiles are famous around the world. These were purchased by several countries.
In terms of aviation, the Swedish aircraft manufacturing industry has a long history. The famous Saab company was established in April 1937 as a joint venture between Bofors and Elektrolus. After nearly 50 years of development, remarkable achievements have been made. It has designed and produced many first-class fighter jets and is a leader in the world in many aspects such as technological development and production innovation.
Anthony Bofors is reporting the relevant situation in the hotel at this time. As the CEO of Swedish Saab, where does his identity lie? Being able to let him report in person shows how high the status of the person listening to the report is.
Anthony Bofors did not expect that the visitor would ask him to come over. After all, the royal family has never been involved in the specific operations of the company, which is really strange today.
But who wants to know where the person's identity is? If they want to know the situation, they can't hide anything.
Carl XVI Gustaf, King of Sweden. He was the only son of the late Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf of Sweden and Princess Sibylla of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. Since his father died in a plane crash before taking the throne, he inherited the throne from his grandfather Gustaf VI on September 15, 1973.
The king was not old, at least relative to other countries. After all, he inherited the throne from his grandfather, so he is naturally not that old.
Being relatively young means liking new things and having a more adventurous spirit. There is a tradition in European royal families that all princes who come of age must serve in the army; this Karl XVI is no exception. Therefore, I am very interested in military weapons and new equipment!
Moreover, he is a frequent visitor to the Paris Air Show and basically never fails to attend. Today I saw the whole process of the Black Cloud UFO test flight, and I was extremely shocked. Thinking that Sweden does not have similar weapons and equipment, it is absolutely not possible. So I directly found the Chinese aircraft manufacturer who came to participate in the exhibition, Saab CEO Anthony Bofors.
I would like to hear the opinions of professionals on whether Sweden needs UFO technology. Carl XVI also knew that although Saab had some strength, it was still very difficult to introduce flying saucer technology and production lines; at least the financial strength did not allow it. Although this project does not yet have any prospects, as an aircraft that can lead the world's technological trends, Sweden must not miss it! Therefore, state support becomes very important.
He shouldn't worry about these things, but as a king, he has the obligation to do anything for the country. As long as you think something is good for the country, you really don't have to worry about anything else.
Carl XVI smiled and said: "Hello, Dr. Bofors! Nice to meet you; I believe you should have seen today's aviation exhibition. As Sweden's most famous aviation expert, what do you think of the flying saucer test flight? .”
European companies pay more attention to inheritance, and Saab is no exception. The main body of Saab is the Bofors Company, and you can tell by its name that it is related to Anthony Bofors. This is also true. Bofors Company belongs to his family. To be precise, it was founded by his grandfather when he was young. Although it has now become Saab, the largest shareholder is still the Bofors family.
You must know that Sweden is one of the few countries in Europe that has not experienced the war of World War II. Moreover, during the war, military-industrial enterprises developed tremendously; it can be said that they definitely made a lot of money, but there are some things that cannot be put on the table.
Karl XVI has greater symbolic significance domestically. Today this is a song, no matter how you say it; the other party is also the nominal head of state, and when respect is due, one cannot neglect it.
Anthony Bofors said very seriously: "Your Majesty the King, the current flying saucer is more like an upgraded version of the armed helicopter. It is just faster, higher, and has stronger comprehensive combat performance."
"If you do not have control of the air and use a flying saucer rashly, it is tantamount to committing suicide. However, it cannot be said that the flying saucer is not a good weapon. After all, it will play an important role in local wars, special operations, and anti-terrorism operations."
"But this is just a superficial phenomenon. No one knows what heights the flying saucer can reach in the future. Even Heiyun Bao Zixuan probably doesn't know. After all, no one can predict the future prospects of a weapon or an aircraft."
"When the Wright brothers invented the airplane, they would never have imagined that there would be something huge with hundreds of tons in the sky; there would even be airplanes that could reach Mach 3 per hour."
"The invention of the flying saucer is no less than the invention of the airplane by the Wright brothers; of course this is just my personal opinion."
Hearing what the CEO of the largest aircraft manufacturer in the country said, Carl XVI immediately became energetic. In Sweden, there is really no more authoritative aviation expert than Anthony Bofors. His opinion is not a final word on the matter, but at least no engineer in Sweden would dare to question it.
Carl XVI: "Currently, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France have introduced flying saucer technology. I don't know what Saab's plans are."
It turned out that he was waiting for him here! At this time, Anthony Bofors fully understood that the king wanted Saab to introduce flying saucer technology and production lines. Isn’t this a problem for yourself?
For flying saucer technology and production lines, Heiyun Group quoted US$4 billion. Unless the entire company is sold, it is really impossible. You can't just come to the door and say that you want the other party's technology and production line, and then don't want to pay for it!
If that is the case, he will definitely be treated as a fool, and the Bofors family cannot afford to lose that person.
It was also obvious that Anthony Bofors was in a bit of a dilemma, after all, it would be the same for anyone. Saab's overall strength is not enough. Even if it has an idea, it cannot be easily realized.
Karl XVI continued: "I know that given the current situation of Saab, it may still be a bit difficult; at least the financial strength does not allow it. The royal family can help you solve part of it, which is considered an investment. Others can be borrowed from banks, and there should not be much of a problem. .”
Anthony Bofors was surprised to hear that the royal family wanted to invest. After all, the Swedish royal family is not that wealthy, but when I think about it carefully, I immediately understand something.
The Gustav family has ruled this country since the 16th century, and the wealth accumulated over hundreds of years is absolutely astronomical. Moreover, Sweden has not experienced any war, and its investment in national infrastructure is not large.
The royal family is definitely powerful, but the people are not so clear about it.
Anthony Bofors: "His Majesty the King should have made a very clear investigation. As long as the royal family is willing to support it, then the matter will be easy to handle. I will go over to discuss the matter with Bao Zixuan. I believe he will not refuse."
