Chapter 1831 Lin Jingsheng's Path to Political Power
Lu Pang didn't have any backup plan. Originally, the largest arms supplier of Country C was the United States. They had a very close relationship with the United States and the cooperation between the two sides was very smooth. Later, after Fenghuo Group became the largest legal arms dealer, Lu Yuan, Lu Bai, and Chu Lin could all speak to it. They began to slowly order arms from Fenghuo Group, and the arms trade was slowly transferred to Fenghuo Group. As a result, the United States was naturally unhappy. It lost a major arms supplier for no reason, so it also sanctioned them economically. Later, because the national defense strength of Country C was very strong, it did not tear its face in the end. Now, if Fenghuo Group was lost, and it had to sign an arms contract with the United States, for Lu Pang, this old face was stepped on again, and he was extremely unwilling. It was because he was unwilling that he came to find Lin Jingsheng.
Fenghuo Group's big move is probably related to Lin Jingsheng. No matter what, he thinks so, so he hopes that Lin Jingsheng can solve this dilemma and contradiction. He never thought that Fenghuo Group would cut off the arms supply because Chu Lin and Lin Jingsheng broke up, which is very damaging to Country C.
"Your Highness, Fenghuo Group exports hundreds of billions of arms orders to us every year, which is beneficial to both us and them. Suddenly cutting off the arms supply must have something wrong. You used to be the leader of Fenghuo Group, so you must have a say. This contract cannot be invalidated in any case. We rely too much on their arms and cannot lose the opportunity to cooperate with them." Lu Pang said anxiously. He attached great importance to this matter. It can be said that he attached great importance to it. He was even willing to come to Lin Jingsheng, which shows that he was very reluctant to see the Ministry of National Defense lose an arm.
Without arms assistance, future technical assistance will probably be cut off slowly. It is probably difficult to achieve their national defense goals relying on domestic technical talents, which undoubtedly weakens their strength.
Lin Jingsheng smiled slightly, "Minister, you also know that I have fallen out with the people of Fenghuo Group. The whole world knows about the affair between Chu Lin and me. Do you think there is still room for maneuver? Since we have fallen out, and he has taken back all my shares, it is impossible to care about face. You can also see that Chu Lin has only returned to China once since the fallout. It has been three months. Except for that one time, he has never come back and has never had any contact with me. What do you think I can say to Fenghuo Group? Chu Lin is the major shareholder of Fenghuo Group. Although the company's shares are different, he is still the first person in power. I fell out with him and then asked for peace. Where do you put me, a dignified prince? I can save my face, but what about the face of Country C?"
Lu Pang was furious, "Is face more important than the strength of a country?"
"If you lose the friendship with Fenghuo Group, you will be able to save your face. The cooperation with Fenghuo Group will not make Country C a weak country. Minister Lu, how did we survive without Fenghuo Group? How was the cooperation with the Ministry of National Defense at that time? It is still the same now. I remember that the Ministry of National Defense has always cooperated with the US Department of National Defense. In this case, let's continue. It depends on Minister Lu to decide how to do it. "
"Back then, we had a bad time with the Ministry of National Defense for cooperation with Fenghuo Group, and now we have to go back and beg them."
"It's the same to beg Fenghuo Group and the same to beg the United States. The Minister thinks that your face and your status are more important than mine, so you can't put it down. You want me to put it down, right? I am a prince, and I have to kowtow for you. Is that what you mean? Minister!" When Lin Jingsheng lowered his face, he was extremely stern, and the majesty that came from his bones was compelling.
"Your Highness, I certainly don't mean that."
"No, that's the best. Otherwise, I would think that the minister thinks the Lu family's face is more important than our royal family's face. It's putting the cart before the horse, and this is embarrassing."
"Your Highness, you misunderstood." Lu Pang said in a deep voice, "I have never had such a rebellious idea."
"That's the best." Lin Jingsheng said lightly, "By the way, I remind you that you should know what you should and shouldn't do. Fenghuo Group's arms have been transferred to other arms dealers, and they will no longer undertake arms in the future. You can negotiate the terms with the new arms dealers. It's not because I broke up with Chu Lin that I cut off the arms trade with Country C. You must be clear about this."
Lu Pang didn't believe that Fenghuo Group would give up such a large profit and transfer its most profitable industry to others. This is equivalent to transferring all its core profits to others and giving them away for free. How could this be possible?
It must be that Chu Lin and Lin Jingsheng had a falling out, implicating Country C. He didn't think about this at the time, but now he thinks about it, and he regrets it very much.
"Your Highness, even if you and Chu Lin have fallen out, the friendship between you and Lu Bai since childhood is still there. If you go and say something, at least he won't be so cruel." Lin Jingsheng frowned, "Minister, didn't you understand what I just said? Fenghuo Group's arms have been transferred to others. They are being transferred in the past three months. There are huge personnel changes and internal chaos. It will take at least half a year to stabilize. In the past six months, all orders will be postponed and the arms regulations will be renegotiated. Many people may not be willing to continue to take the risk of signing arms deals. As for whether you want it or not, that is the Ministry of National Defense's business. I have never interfered in the affairs of the Ministry of National Defense." Lu Pang frowned, "If it really needs to be transferred, who will it be transferred to?"
"The first terrorist organization." Lin Jingsheng did not hide it from him. Although Lu Pang was ambitious and wanted the Lu family to ascend the throne of country C to bring glory to the family, he was a very capable person and was also sincerely building the national defense. He had devoted his life to the Ministry of National Defense. He admired him for this. If he could be a minister safely, he would respect Lu Pang very much. Unfortunately, he was not content.
He raised a tiger and hoped that the tiger's teeth would not face him. Unfortunately, the tiger always bared its teeth at him, which was a very annoying phenomenon.
"You..." Lu Pang was shocked. He did not expect Fenghuo Group to be so bold that it actually transferred the arms dealer to terrorists, and it was a world-famous terrorist organization. Although it has been very low-key in recent years, the scene of 300 fighter planes pressing over Paris that year was vivid, and everyone was afraid of it.
Lu Pangrang didn't quite believe what Lin Jingsheng said. Lin Jingsheng smiled faintly, "Speaking of which, Minister, didn't you sign an arms deal with the First Terrorist Organization? This way everyone is happy. You don't need to re-sign the terms with them. I believe they won't treat you unfairly in the future."
