Gu Ao was really not mentally prepared for his old friends who had originally come to Iraq and the Middle East.

The world has a conscience. When Gu Ao goes to Monaco to legally operate the gambling industry, he is really committed to money.

At most, add a "accumulated credit assets".

That is to say, he accumulated his reputation as "only recognizing money but not patriotism" in the eyes of Americans and even French people.

This reputation is also a form of credit, which will facilitate him to travel to many countries in the future and be more prosperous when he opens his business internationally.

All countries like to deal with unpatriotic true and multinational businessmen.

At the same time, in Gu Ao's eyes, the Oriskani, as the last ship of the Essex class, really has nothing worth studying about—

Some people may say that this ship is different from other Essex-class goods. After all, it was the only one in the Essex-class who delayed construction for four years and underwent the first generation of electronic flying tube transformation. Later, it was also the only one among the old Essex-class goods that could take off and land on the Vietnam battlefield.

But the advantages brought by these transformations were no longer there when the Oriskani was scrapped and bought by Monaco betting companies in an empty shell. All the electronic equipment and radars for flight management were removed.

Isn't the remaining empty shell exactly the same as those other hot chickens in Essex that are purely 1940s technology?

Gu Ao never expected that such a thing would be targeted by the relevant departments.

This is too petty and stingy.

However, since Lieutenant Colonel Zhang is an old friend and everyone is in the midst of the war in the Middle East, I still need to explain my face.

After a brief contact between the two sides, Gu Ao took Lieutenant Colonel Zhang, his colleagues and leaders to the secret room of the study upstairs, and ordered the secretary to pour tea, then closed the door and said his thoughts.

"Brother Zhong, I told the truth about everything I just said. The 'Princess Caroline' gambling ship was completely supervised by the Monaco royal gambling company before it was delivered and operated. My brother really couldn't get it.

This time I went there, at best, just take a quick look at the flowers and watch them, and then use this excuse to spend time and maintain friendship with others.

As for the construction project, it has been outsourced to the French Atlantic Shipyard in Saint-Nazell. Americans and French are happy to see this scene. Although they have not said anything now, if there is any change in the future, this variable will still be easily noticed. Please give up your hands and don’t cause too much trouble. I am really powerless."

After hearing this, Zhang Zhong showed helplessness, but he did not directly help Gu Ao.

Gu Ao has been involved in some circles and has common sense of anti-reconnaissance, so through just one or two glances, he knew that Zhang Zhong was also forced to come, so it is difficult to inform him in advance.

It is probably because their group is always guarding one-on-one, and there are people accompanying them in the bathroom.

With a few eyes, Zhang Zhong just cleared his throat and said, "Brother Gu, we know your difficulties too. I actually told the leader before coming, but no matter what, this time I will introduce you to some new friends. Whether we can make a business or not, benevolence or righteousness. Come on, this is Director Hu of our Equipment Planning Office..."

Zhang Zhong said, pointing at the person who was the leader of the uninvited guests and introducing him to Gu Ao.

Director Hu stood up and shook hands with Gu Ao: "Comrade Gu, we should have seen him, but you are a noble man and you may not remember--four years ago, I was still the executive deputy director. When I was inspecting the test range on Qin Island, I noticed you, but you didn't notice me."

"Hello, Director Hu." Gu Ao said hello with a calm look on his face, and thought in his heart that this person was about two levels higher than Brother Zhang.

Not much analysis is made.

It was Gu Ao who was too lazy to analyze.

After the two sides communicated some unhelpful words to others, Gu Ao roughly guessed a conclusion: these people should not have received orders from the command of the chief, and seemed to be just eager to make contributions.

As for how Gu Ao guessed it, don’t ask about the process.

Since it was not the leader's intention, Gu Ao was even less worried.

He is a very sensible person. Not everyone can command Gu Ao to do things under the banner of patriotism, right?

Gu Ao also said pertinently: "Director Hu, Brother Zhang, let alone I can't take anything away. Let's take a step back. Some things are of no value when they get them. They just make foreigners alert, why bother?

Oriskani's potential is there. No matter how hard he works, the level of capping for a lifetime is to take off a product that is less powerful than the MiG-21 on the shore. This has no practical value anymore, so it's better not to attract this hatred."

However, Gu Ao's far-sighted words have become an absolute pretense in the ears of today's professionals: Is MiG-21 a bad one?

Based on the MiG-21, it is nothing more than the domestic 7 Series, and it is still the most important light single-engine equipment. The 8 Series is nothing more than a double-engine large version, but the imitation of the Far Ancestor can also be considered a MiG-21. The 8 Series II prototype was only built last year, but it was not mass-produced.

In Gu Ao's eyes, ships that can take off and land mainstream domestic equipment are considered hot? Is this a reference system for Americans? Don't you know that the firewood and rice are expensive if you don't take the lead?

"Comrade Xiao Gu, you can't forget to rely on yourself, work hard, and do it step by step..."

"Stop talking about aircraft carriers, even if you give you an alien portal and directly teleport the latest 8-Series II to Nanyang, can you beat Li Jiapo's F15?"

“…”

"I don't need the favors and friendships of a certain department, of course I have to clarify - first of all, I really can't do it."

The next half of the sentence is of course to ensure that one stays at the forefront of one's life and does not really offend certain units. The first half of the sentence is an enhanced expression of one's powerlessness, and it is just a way of expression.

Lieutenant Colonel Zhang was afraid of being staggered, so he hurried out to smooth things over: "Brother Gu, why bother to say that - Director Hu, Brother Gu is a straightforward person. In fact, Director Hu and the leaders above also know that these are not practical value, so they can get more experience and investigate the practices of advanced countries, which is also good..."

Gu Ao choked at the other party's continued opening: "Then can you get on the boat and be a tourist in the future? Why take advantage of the decoration now? Anyway, the sensitive things that should be removed have been removed before leaving the factory in Newport News, and there is no extra effort to dismantle during the decoration.

I am a person with clear personal and private affairs, and I can help with the problem that can be solved by money and treating guests. I can’t use other resources.”

Gu Ao was not willing to believe too much in the confidentiality of the 1980s. The better if one person knew less.

The other party was finally sent away, at least the relevant leaders were sent away.

If you want to visit something after business is open in the future, let Zhang Zhong contact Gu Ao again.

After the leader finally confirmed it personally, Zhang Zhong finally seized the opportunity to explain to Gu Ao alone. He stayed in Gu Ao's study for a few more minutes and clarified and apologized: "Brother Gu, I didn't inform you before coming, so I won't blame me."

Gu Ao smiled coldly: "I understand, you must keep it a secret too, just keep an eye on the other one."

Lieutenant Colonel Zhang: "It's good that you didn't make it difficult for you. I believe now. You must be the best of what you plan and the far-reaching ones you see. Some of us are eager to make contributions. I believe in your vision.

We are not an official fan. In Iraq over the years, we have more opportunities than our domestic counterparts, so we are not bad. Even if we don’t convince you this time, it’s time to be a colonel when we return to Iraq for another year.”

It is already possible to do overseas work in hot overseas countries.

His words were to clear himself of his own and not want to make a profit and betray his friends.

Gu Ao nodded: "When you look back, do you have any innocent technical supervision staff of the ship decoration company? If you are more reliable, let me tell me. You can only be the engineering supervision staff."

"I understand. When I was in Iraq, I started with China Construction Company - weren't there all innocent technicians?"

This is what happened.

...

Two days later, Gu Ao left the strange people away and flew to France with his girlfriend, assistant and bodyguard.

Those Chinese "decoration supervision" will be sent through other channels at that time, and they are definitely not sent by Gu Ao in the name of Gu Ao - Gu Ao will ask the Monaco operator to make this cost-saving decision.

After all, Chinese engineers are paid low.

Let Princess Caroline make this business decision so that she will not offend others. Gu Ao believes that it should be enough to accompany His Royal Highness to have a few drinks and say good things to owe a favor to him.

He is a diplomatic person and pleasing foreign royal family members is a lesson he has done, not to mention that he is so handsome.

In this way, no one can gossip in the future.

Americans cannot refuse to allow Monacos to save construction costs.

Because Gu Ao took a charter flight from Gulfstream 350 this time, the route is relatively flexible. He does not have to choose the main cargo routes that are direct to Paris in China, but temporarily applies to Nantes.

The city of St. Nazere, where the Atlantic shipyard is located, is actually the port city downstream of Nantes. The city of Nantes spans both sides of the Loire River and is twenty or thirty kilometers away from the estuary of the Loire River. St. Nazere is a harbor directly at the estuary of the river, which is also considered a satellite city of Nantes.

France's coastline is mainly three major sections, facing the strait, facing the Atlantic Ocean, and facing the Mediterranean.

Anyone who has played "Age of Discovery" knows that there are two metropolises in France facing the Atlantic Ocean, one is the north-north Nantes and the other is the south-north Bordeaux. Saint-Nazell, as the satellite port of Nantes, is located between Nantes and Bordeaux, so by land, it is quite close to these two places to drive by land, and you can drive more than 100 kilometers to Bordeaux.

Gu Ao brought his girlfriend this time and was ready to spend this Christmas holiday with his "In-depth Tour of West France".

This was the first time Xiao Sui took a private charter flight. She was a little nervous and curious throughout the journey, and she was a little dazed all the way.

The plane added fuel to Moscow and then landed in Nantes. Before landing, Gu Ao gave a vaccination and said: "I may have some social engagements during my time in France. You should not be jealous of serious social engagements."

"No, I know you are all serious, I won't ask." Xiao Sui was very confidential.
