Chapter 1139: Riding on Each Other's Faces?
The efficiency of the Gulf kingdoms is quite low, and their ability to control the grassroots and even the middle levels is not strong.
This is generally true.
But there are exceptions.
If an incident is considered to be related to the royal family, especially if it involves a negative impact on the royal family.
Then they can also show you what true efficiency is.
Because at this time, many procedural matters can be saved...
Just like right now.
Although Saeed Anbar holds the rank of Army Major General, he does not belong to the combat order of the UAE Army.
Rather, they are the military police or special police belonging to the royal family.
After briefly listening to Sabah's explanation, his face immediately turned cold:
"Do we need to bring in more people?"
It was completely different from his unwillingness just now.
The former thought for a moment, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but finally shook his head:
"That's not necessary."
"Judging from the size of this device, there are only 2-3 people on the other side at most. As long as you can block the entrance and exit, it should be easy to identify. In addition..."
When Sabah said this, he leaned his upper body slightly forward and lowered his voice more and more:
"The large-scale mobilization of personnel to the Albatin Palace Airport will itself lead to the leakage of information..."
Obviously, although this old man who looks like an administrative civil servant is not quick in thinking, he is quite experienced in doing things.
After some instructions, Sabah turned around again and looked at the group of people who had just gotten off the early warning aircraft not far behind him.
But he didn't speak immediately.
To be honest, facing these people, he really had a headache.
Logically speaking, Dassault is considered the victim of this incident, and at the most critical moment, it was someone who gave the key reminder that gave Sabah the opportunity to make a time difference and control the situation.
Therefore, it is impossible to treat him as a suspect in any case.
But the key to the problem now is not whether the interference equipment on the drone will affect the selection results.
But whether someone wants to use this to target the crown prince.
In order to control public opinion, at least until the mole is found out, people cannot be released...
Fortunately, Fan Jimin and Casore had the same mentality as Ming Jing, and they originally wanted to continue eating here, so they didn't embarrass each other.
"Mr. Sabah."
Kasore took the initiative to take two steps forward and said to the other party:
"Considering the current situation, I have reason to suspect that someone is premeditated to target the products we bid for during the actual aircraft test, so until the situation subsides, we have to stay at the airport to prevent problems with the aircraft itself..."
This statement, of course, cannot withstand scrutiny.
In fact, it just provides a step for the three parties at the same time.
Otherwise, you can't rush to say that we can stay and cooperate with the investigation, right?
Wouldn't that mean that he actively put himself in the position of a suspect?
Even if they personally have no objection, the country behind him cannot afford to throw this person away.
No matter what France says, it is still a member of the Wuchang——
In the closed-door meeting of the Security Council, you called me a disgrace to the WPC, but I didn’t pick on you.
Now that I'm out of this door, what should you call me?
Therefore, even if you really want to cooperate with the other party, you can only express it by making requests.
Fortunately, Sabah was also very wise and immediately understood what Kasore meant:
"No problem. Until we figure out the whole situation, we will receive all members of your delegation as VIPs. Please move to the lounge for the time being..."
Kasore and Fan Jimin then each assigned a reliable member to guard the plane, and then led others to follow Sabah.
Before going to the lounge, they naturally had to meet up with the other delegation members who had just stayed on the ground.
"Old horse!"
Fan Jimin saw the 1.9-meter-tall Marin from a long way away, and he came to him in three steps and two steps at a time:
"There was a small accident during the test. Now the Albatin Palace Airport is under full martial law. We may have to wait here for a while..."
Speak in Chinese.
But even people who don't understand can feel the anxiety and urgency in his words.
However, due to the angle, no one noticed that Fan Jimin winked quickly when he spoke.
"What's going on now?"
Marin's speech was not fast, but it could be heard that he was suppressing his emotions and pretending to be calm.
It is very consistent with the current actual situation.
But this wave of his was really not staged.
As one of the senior members of the delegation sent by China, Marin certainly knew that he had already prepared for possible small means.
But China, unlike the Davidic Kingdom or France, does not have enough influence and layout in the Middle East.
If you develop overly complicated strategies, it will be easy for you to get involved in them.
Therefore, in the advance plan, there was no link for the UAE to block the scene.
The situation seems to be out of their control now. As a technician who has no experience in external liaison before, it would be a lie to say that he is not nervous at all.
"don’t worry."
Fan Jimin was actually half a man, but he had been on the plane just now. Not only did he know all the ins and outs, but he could even be regarded as a promoter to a certain extent, so his mentality was naturally much more stable, so he lowered his voice and explained:
"The process went much more smoothly than expected... With the electromagnetic interference actively imposed by the UAE Air Force as a control, we only conducted half of the test and it was clearly discovered that the target aircraft had been tampered with."
"I took the opportunity to suggest that the UAE side check the drone after the test. The original intention was just to let the other party fix the evidence in time to avoid being destroyed by someone with ulterior motives... But for some reason, the leader Sabah reacted extremely strongly and suddenly announced that the test would be terminated due to equipment failure. Then I could only accompany him to continue acting..."
"But anyway, what happened later has nothing to do with us. Now the jammer in the unmanned target aircraft has been found. Regardless of whether we can find out who did it, the other two... especially David, who was testing at the same time as us, can't get rid of suspicion..."
Hearing this, the burden that had been weighing on Marin's heart just now disappeared without a trace, replaced by a burst of ecstasy of success.
This is different from the joy of finally solving a problem after a long period of hard work, which he was used to before.
Instead, it carries a little bit of the excitement of a gambler winning the bet.
It's intoxicating.
"Then..."
Marin almost couldn't hold back his expression when he just said the first word.
Fortunately, he realized that this scene was not suitable for smiling too brightly, so he bit his tongue hard and forced himself to restrain his smile.
He performed a "double life of Comrade Marin".
"That is to say... this time, we are almost certain to win the selection?"
Speaking of this, although Fan Jimin's facial expression was still well controlled, his tone was inevitably fluctuating:
"Although it is a bit early to draw a conclusion... but if nothing goes wrong, we should have no opponents."
All their previous layouts in China were originally intended not to affect the performance of the aircraft during the test.
To put it bluntly, it still depends on strength to impress Party A.
But after today's round of accidental operations, even if there is no direct evidence, David cannot escape the suspicion of intervening in the UAE and interfering with the direction of the selection work.
This is a dimensionality reduction attack.
As an ally of the United States, it is one thing for the UAE to be close to you, David.
But when it comes to this time, it is impossible to have no performance at all.
So there is no need to consider performance at all.
G550 will definitely be directly passed.
As for Ericsson...
To be honest, from the beginning, neither China nor Dassault regarded them as the main opponents.
Global 5000 is a good aircraft.
The upgraded Global Eye is also a good radar.
It's a pity that the progress is too slow and it is difficult to meet the strict requirements of the UAE for the delivery cycle.
...
While you and I were talking, a group of people had already followed Sabah to the door of the VIP reception room.
You don't even need to go in. Just standing outside and looking at the decoration of the door and the corridor, it is not difficult to guess how luxurious the conditions inside are.
"Please rest inside first. If the state of emergency is not lifted before tonight, the airport can arrange a hotel for you to stay for free..."
Listening to this inhumane speech, Fan Jimin couldn't help but smack his lips.
This oil man is indeed worthy of his reputation.
Sabah personally pushed open the door, and then instructed several security personnel not to restrict the people behind him from moving within the airport.
Then, he turned around and left.
As soon as they entered the room, what surprised everyone was that there were already several people sitting inside.
You know, in the recent period of time, the Albating Palace Airport has not been open to external official routes. Except for a few government charter flights, no other planes have arrived.
The identities of these people...
While Marin and Fan Jimin were guessing, Casore had already recognized one of them.
"Mr. Mavita."
His expression froze, and then he pulled out a somewhat exaggerated smile and walked in front of the other party:
"It's nice to see you here."
In fact, Casore was unable to control himself for a while because he knew that his side had almost won.
But this set of micro-expression changes became a symbol of guilt in the eyes of Mavita on the opposite side.
The latter had been in this lounge just now, and he didn't know what happened at this time.
Just thinking that Dassault's AWACS had a big problem during the test, Casore was in a state of impotence and fury.
He had no intention of jumping into the face and opening a big attack, but now that the other party came to him, there was really no reason not to be sarcastic.
"Me too, Mr. Casore."
He stood up and shook hands with Casore:
"I hope your test this morning goes well."
The two were not on the same channel at all at this time, and both felt that they had a great advantage and could output the other party.
So Casore was not at all empty:
"As you wish."
"In the past morning, we did... gain a lot."
After all, the matter had not been settled, so he chose a slightly more euphemistic statement.
At this time, Marin and Fan Jimin, who came in later, also thought of Mavita's identity through the conversation just now.
In fact, the two had read the information of the core members of the David country delegation before leaving.
But as we all know, sometimes there are some differences between real people and photos.
So I didn't recognize him at the first time.
But now that I recognize him.
Then it's a narrow road for enemies.
Especially for Fan Jimin.
Before he was promoted to deputy by Guo Lin, he happened to be an engineer involved in the transfer of technical data of the ring project.
Although he didn't deal with David directly, the whole process was clear.
Back then, they relied on their technical advantages to chase and intercept the budding Chinese early warning aircraft, and even took the initiative to breach the contract, delaying the ring project for more than two years.
If it weren't for Wang Xiaomo and Chang Haonan's foresight, they used the fragmented resources at hand to build the KJ-200 in advance, it would really delay the big thing.
And now, the Chinese early warning aircraft has already surpassed in technology, and you are going to play tricks again?
To be honest, Fan Jimin was very annoyed.
But he was only half a step away from a complete victory, so he couldn't make trouble for such a trivial matter.
Therefore, he decided not to pay attention to those David people for the time being.
This VIP reception room was several hundred square meters in area, so he could stay away.
It wouldn't be too late to talk about it after the final result came out.
However, what he didn't expect was.
He didn't want to cause trouble, but he took the initiative to find him.
Two Chinese faces stood out among a group of Europeans.
Therefore, Mavita quickly noticed the two people next to him.
"Hello, two friends from China."
He greeted them in a slightly exaggerated tone.
Although he said friends, the next sentence that followed was not friendly.
Even, it made people blush:
"I hope you really learned enough from the ring project..."
