Chapter 1222 Strategic Determination

If you really want to talk about conscientious arms sales and dare to sell weapons of your own generation, in the free world, you have to look to the United Kingdom. Rather than a city on a mountain, you know why it has been 30 years since the collapse of the Soviet Union, and many countries are still thinking about it, okay?

One of the important reasons is that the Soviet Union really dared to sell weapons of the same generation for its own use, although there was also the problem of castrated monkey versions. But compared to the United States, they are really conscientious buyers.

In this regard, the United States simply cannot compare. The United States will impose countless restrictions on the weapons it sells, and then give a castrated version. The castrated version is even more hateful than the Soviet weapons. As for military aid, that is impossible.

There are simply too many examples. What kind of monsters are these for a certain big country’s model of peace?

In fact, even the most prosperous and powerful countries do not trust American weapons. The treatment of having GPS turned off is not exclusive to a certain big country. Other famous and prosperous countries have also experienced it.

No other country except Israel enjoys non-castration treatment.

The UK is much better. If the Arab countries are willing to hand over the money and deliver the goods, at least the powerful countries in the Arab world such as Jordan, Egypt, and Iraq, the UK is willing to show its rare imperialist conscience and arm several countries.

The aircraft carrier has been sold. Do we still need land and air equipment? Except that nuclear bombs cannot be sold, the rest can be sold.

Also because there have been previous examples of aircraft carriers being sold, Alan Wilson's words are full of credibility at this moment.

The ambassadors of several Arab countries had some intentions, but they could not take the lead in such a big matter. They just said that they would communicate with the country. Not long after, Marshal Mountbatten came back and saw his son-in-law in an Arab robe. "How to wear it?" Like this?"

"Isn't this to get closer to the Arabs?" Alan Wilson flicked his headscarf. This was Hedy Lamarr's couple's robe. He even took it out to cultivate interest when he was riding in the rocket a few days ago.

Marshal Mountbatten raised his eyebrows and asked as if you were happy, "How did the talks go?"

"It's just the first communication, and the negotiation has not been concluded yet." Alan Wilson thought as he said, "I also want to satisfy the Ministry of Defense, and I have it, but there may be some moral costs to pay."

"What can I do?" When Mountbatten saw his son-in-law saying this, a bad feeling filled his body.

"Bribery!" Alan Wilson said confidently, "Pamela needs to use yin and yang contracts to get some connections, so that it will be much easier to promote."

The cabinet secretary who is always thinking of solutions,

Suddenly I remembered the operations of the former colony. There is no need to hide anything, the inspiration comes from India, and the problems of kickbacks on Indian arms sales can be said to be endless.

Just thinking about it, it involves arms sales of various arms. If nothing else, the Rafale fighter jet is an example.

The previous price of the "Rafale" fighter jet was less than 100 million U.S. dollars. This is the price only available for the "luxury version configuration", which is generally more than 60 million U.S. dollars. However, in this transaction, the Indian Air Force spent US$8.7 billion to purchase 36 Dassault Rafale fighter jets, with a unit price of US$240 million, which is even more expensive than the F-35, a standard fifth-generation aircraft.

Even including a series of additional expenses such as logistical maintenance and spare parts, this price is obviously unreasonable.

Earlier, India had negotiated with Russia on the purchase of Su-30 fighter jets in the 1990s. Indian Air Force Marshal Kaur, who participated in the negotiations, was later exposed as having accepted $1.5 million in bribes and was also gifted a large number of diamonds by Russia.

The giant arms sales that are watched by everyone dare to take kickbacks. The situation for small arms sales that are generally not noticed is definitely more serious.

"I don't know when Pamela will come back. If you want to, you can use your money ability." Alan Wilson thinks it is very feasible. Cooperation will be a good thing for both parties. Even if the Arabs' ethics are higher than those of Indians, they are not as high as Where to go.

The Secretary-General of the Cabinet in London is obsessed with promoting British-made weapons to a broader stage, so he calls out his love to the female president, but the female president also has something to be busy with at this time.

With the sell-off of silver, instead of falling, the price of silver in the U.S. market has been rising.

Pamela Mountbatten also contacted her husband about this. Alan Wilson's answer was that when everyone feels that the price will continue to rise, they should sell faster.

In fact, ladies with the same status as their wives are all selling silver to cash out. This is true in London, Paris, Bonn and Stockholm.

But this is not the reason why Pamela Mountbatten cannot come back temporarily. She is receiving representatives from several companies in Perth. The names of these companies are ADM of the United States, Bunge of the United States, Cargill of the United States, and Louis Dreyfus of France. They are what people call the four major grain merchants.

Any disturbance in the world grain market cannot be hidden from their eyes. After the UK announced reforms to the grain reserve system, the effects have been seen in the international market.

Soon, the four major grain merchants followed the transportation context and found an important link in helping Britain transport grain this time, which was Pamela Mountbatten in Perth.

"Now the international market for grain has increased by 20%, and it's all because of Britain's actions."

"Ms. Pamela, we need an explanation. The actions of the Mountbatten Group have disrupted the order of the international grain market, and Bunge is very dissatisfied with this."

"Louis Dreyfus is not prepared for the current situation, and the relationship between Britain and France should maintain communication."

After a few representatives of you sang, I appeared on the stage, looking like I wanted to make Pamela Mountbatten look good based on my position of strength.

"What's wrong? Friends, isn't the food rise a good thing?" Pamela Mountbatten glanced at her eyes and replied nonchalantly, "On the contrary, you should be grateful to the UK and you can benefit from this food rise. After all, most years, food prices are at a stable level, and good opportunities like this are rare now, but you come to bully me, a woman, don't you feel ashamed?"

"Also, except for my husband, I will not be threatened by any man to come to ask questions. I hope it will not happen next time. This will destroy our relationship. To put it bluntly, it is good for both of us to make money together. Well, if there is a confrontation, I am not afraid of you. You may have heard the saying that the British Empire will never surrender until the blood of the Indians is drained. British India has become independent, but all the British colonies have not yet become independent... "

"Ms. Pamela, you may have some misunderstandings..." Louis Dreyfus' representative changed the topic and expressed what he meant by the large number of people just now. "We have always recognized the strength of the Mountbatten Group, although some voices believe that as a comprehensive The group's entry into the food field has caused everyone's displeasure, but the reality has become this, and everyone should still unite."

The representatives of the other three American companies also nodded. They changed from a position of strength to a person who knows the current affairs. It is so smooth. Unity is the foundation for invincibility. Everyone is working in this field to make a living. The one who gets hurt when there is a quarrel is himself. . .

"I also believe that unity is the basis for consensus." Pamela Mountbatten smiled and suggested, "In fact, the food needs of East Asian countries exist objectively. Controlling food means controlling the whole world. No one can resist rebellion. , not even Washington can force you to give up profits."

"The current situation is actually very simple. Either raise prices or let the government subsidize you. My suggestion is very simple. Now is the time to test your strategic determination. The four of you, plus me, control most of the world's food. As long as we take a common stand, gold and silver will come to us."

"We will tell the board of directors what Ms. Pamela said verbatim. I believe there will be no big problem."

"I'm waiting for your good news. As for some countries where food may have problems, the level of panic may not be enough." Pamela Mountbatten said with a smile, "If we act together, the benefits this year will definitely not be small. of."

After this meeting, the four major grain merchants became a thing of the past and were replaced by the five major grain merchants.

To be honest, Alan Wilson didn't actually want to use this method, but as Japan's industrial development put increasing pressure on Britain, he had to use some despicable methods. Who made your food self-sufficiency rate so low?

As for South Korea and Scam Island, they are completely incidental. He cannot attack accurately.

A few days later, ADM of the United States, Bunge of the United States, Cargill of the United States, and Louis Dreyfus of France announced that due to abnormal weather conditions, many countries expected that their grain output this year would be lower than expected.

As the four supreme beings walked out of the restricted area, the prelude to the food boom in 1963 slowly began, and the country that could not sustain its own food was in a state of turmoil.

Foreign Secretary Rab Butler sets out to visit pro-British Arab countries. On the one hand, he is also to ensure the food security of these countries. Britain will never ignore it. The other purpose is to sell weapons.

Pamela Mountbatten, who set off from Perth, was also in Baghdad at this time. Following her husband's instructions, there was nothing that could not be offered. She worked with the Iraqi royal family and the military to determine the rebate amount, which was a percentage of the total price of arms sales. out of ten. This is already a quite high ratio, enough to reflect sincerity.

Even if it is a prominent and powerful country, the rebate usually does not exceed 3%. If 10% is considered a large arms sales order, in order to establish the name of the military-industrial complex and consolidate the upper echelons of the pro-British Arab countries, Pamela Mountbatten was very generous.

"Pamela, you really surprise me every time." Princess Badia sighed. They are both women. Look at others and then look at yourself. Except that they are from the same upper class society, there are too many differences in other aspects.

"Badia, you are my best friend." Pamela Mountbatten played the emotional card. "I hope that the relationship between Britain and Iran will be as close as the one between us."
