Chapter 236 Beating around the bush
The French can do anything, Gao Yi has long known that.
But the French can't make any mistakes when it comes to making money for themselves. The results are good, they are really capable of doing it.
Gao Yi forgot that there is a kind of person in this world called a shit stirrer, and although France is not like the UK's national shit stirrers, as France has many characteristics of a great country, how can it be short of a shit stirrer?
"What's wrong?"
"The arms purchase contract was leaked."
“The French have a mole?”
It is normal to have a traitor. There are too many people who provide intelligence after being bribed by other countries, so it is understandable.
But Abdullah shook his head and said to Gao Yi: "No, it was the union of Dassault Company that announced the news to the world. Because after the arms purchase was completed, Dassault Company had to arrange the production plan, so the union put this
It was revealed that they demanded a 25% salary increase from Dassault as a condition, otherwise, they would go on strike, so that Dassault would not be able to deliver the aircraft on time."
Gao Yi couldn't figure out the relationship between this. He really couldn't figure it out and couldn't figure it out.
Isn't it a good thing that the company has a big order?
Shouldn't the whole company work together to win this big order?
Why smash the pot?
Oh, they are not throwing the blame, they are just asking for a salary increase, but what does asking for a salary increase have to do with immediately revealing the company's business that should be strictly confidential?
If you have any requests, discuss them in private. A threat is just a threat. Don't rush to mess up the deal. In the final analysis, isn't this still eating from the pot while smashing the cooking pot?
It can only be said to be cultural differences. Gao Yi couldn't figure it out even to death. He was stunned for a long time and finally said: "Then how did the trade union get the news? It's only happened now... less than two hours have passed.
ah."
Abdullah shrugged, spread his hands, smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "You should ask what the French think, not me, how the hell do I know what these French people are thinking!
"
Also, the French brain circuit is incomprehensible to normal people.
Gao Yi sighed and said, "Then let's..."
"There should be... trouble."
Abdullah sighed and said: "Let the plane take off, otherwise I am worried that something will happen. The private grudges between the CIA and us will not surface. The United States knows that the CIA may retaliate privately, but it will not say anything."
What, but if the United States knows that we have reached a deal with France, they will really use any means."
"The United States and France are both NATO and allies."
"Allies are allies, and business is business. The Americans have done a lot of this kind of thing. When they arrested Pierucci and dismembered Alstom, the Americans were not polite."
After Abdullah finished speaking through gritted teeth, he quickly raised his head and loudly said: "Get ready to take off, notify the airport that we are taking off!"
The operation is suspended during the take-off phase. During the air phase, the operation can be performed as long as it is possible. Pause is not allowed. There is no other way. It is really impossible to wait for the operation to continue after landing.
Gao Yi didn't have anything to say. This was because the real thing was that he couldn't help himself and had no choice.
The doctor is making emergency preparations to suspend the operation. Yes, preparations must be made to suspend the operation.
The flight crew contacted the airport and notified the tower to let the airport clear the runway and leave a lift-off channel.
The plane's takeoff depends on the plan, and it doesn't just happen.
Then, the crew immediately received depressing and disturbing news.
"Sir! The airport responded that emergency air control means we cannot take off!"
Abdullah was still a little worried just now, but now, he had to become nervous immediately.
"What? Air traffic control? What reason!"
"Military exercise! Block the airspace!"
This is the reason given by the French, but the reason given by the French will lead to the most unfavorable results for themselves.
Gao Yi didn't understand, and neither did Abdullah.
"Military exercises? Are the French crazy?"
Abdullah was not just nervous, he was anxious.
His greatest strength is loyalty, but his greatest shortcomings are many, and being easily anxious and irritable is one of Abdullah's biggest shortcomings.
Abdullah called, and when the call was connected, he said impatiently: "What do you mean? Why don't you let our plane take off? Do you want to cancel the cooperation plan, don't you want to do business?"
I don’t know who answered the phone. He spoke English and was not very proficient, but the person who answered the phone said in the same angry and impatient tone: "The Americans announced that they will conduct a large-scale military exercise within NATO. Four minutes ago
Got a call!”
The military-industrial complex has harmed the interests of U.S. military-industrial enterprises, and the Pentagon will definitely help.
The Pentagon can decide on a military exercise without a word from the White House.
On the contrary, the White House's words are useless, and the words of NATO's European allies are even more useless.
NATO is the NATO of the United States, and the NATO Command is the command of the Americans. Now the NATO Command suddenly wants to conduct a large-scale military exercise, simulating a large-scale air attack in Europe, and banning all aircraft from taking off and landing for a short time. Who can
be opposed to?
What's more, the NATO command does not need to block the airspace of all Europe. They only need to block the airspace of France. If that is not possible, they can block the airspace of Paris.
If France is tough enough, the French military and civil aviation will not comply with the air ban from NATO. It doesn't matter. NATO has implemented a no-fly order in the airspace of several countries around France.
It doesn't need to be long, just a few hours.
If France is bolder and releases the plane or ignores NATO's order, then it doesn't matter. NATO can send a fighter jet to shoot down a passenger plane.
It was Gao Yi and his plane that was shot down. That's enough. That's enough.
Therefore, no matter what France chooses, Gao Yi and the others cannot fly.
If you have money, you can buy it, but if you don’t have enough strength, what Saudi Arabia wants to buy with its money must be agreed by the United States.
Gao Yi was confused, and Abdullah was even more confused.
Abdullah thought for a long time, and then he finally called Sharman.
After chatting for a few words, Abdullah hung up the phone dejectedly. Then he said to Gao Yi: "The French have leaked the news. His Royal Highness is negotiating with the United States. The situation is unfavorable and the Americans are very angry."
What can Gao Yi say? Now that this matter has become a national matter, what can he say?
"Generally speaking, how to solve this situation?"
"Compromise, let's see if the French compromise or we compromise. The most likely thing is that we add another order to the Americans so that the Americans can earn more. Only then will they be able to allow arms purchases with France. The French
Compromise would mean that they transfer some of their interests to the United States, but that is unlikely."
Abdullah sighed and said helplessly: "The most likely thing is that we compromise, but His Highness the Prince is very angry. He can cancel this cooperation with France, or he can postpone it, but he will never stop it because of the United States.
, it will cost the United States a greater price."
Looking at Gao Yi, Abdullah hesitated for a moment and suddenly said: "But this way, we will be in more trouble. I hope you can understand that His Highness the Prince cannot... you know just because of a few of us."
"I understand..."
The eldest brother is willing to take advantage of himself because of the favor given by others, but the eldest brother cannot be allowed to pay a high price in order to take advantage of him.
Gao Yi really had nothing to say about such a major national matter.
But it's not Gao Yi's style to just sit in sleepy city like this.
After thinking for a while, Gao Yi whispered: "If we don't cause trouble to His Highness, we will run away on our own! This trouble was caused by the French. It's okay to let them privately let us go."
"It should be okay. I'll negotiate with the French side."
Abdullah can also represent Sharman, and he does still have some face here.
After thinking for a while, Abdullah whispered: "It is really impossible to let the French escort you away. You cannot stay here. Your Highness is firm. The Americans may have some secret punishment measures, and killing you... is the most direct way."
, the simplest means of punishment.”
Gao Yi noticed that Abdullah said the word punishment.
Abdullah continued: "In the past, the White House ordered the CIA not to retaliate against our National Intelligence Agency, but now, the White House allows the CIA to let go of revenge. The result will be different. Things will become quite troublesome, so you have to hurry up.
Walk."
Having said this, Abdullah immediately shouted loudly: "Continue the operation and complete it as soon as possible!"
The operation that was just interrupted continues.
Gao Yi felt depressed.
It was originally agreed upon, and the eldest brother spent billions. Although it was essentially for national interests, in the end it was to save him that the arms purchase was promoted.
Now it's better, the unreliable French people easily revealed the matter, but put them into a dangerous situation again.
Why are these people so mean?
Angry in his heart, Gao Yi was thinking about what else he could do, firstly, to save himself, and secondly, to help his elder brother.
On such a major national matter, there is no one who can ask for advice.
While thinking hard, an idea flashed in Gao Yi's mind and he suddenly said: "I'll make a call!"
Abdullah naturally has no possibility of not allowing it.
Gao Yi took out his mobile phone and dialed a number in a hurry.
Call Mu Tianwen.
There was a time difference, so Mu Tianwen didn't answer the phone at first. Gao Yi called again, and Mu Tianwen finally answered the phone.
"Hey, brother, do you have a problem with me?"
Mu Tianwen's voice was very low, and Gao Yi whispered: "Is it convenient to speak?"
"Conveniently, I'm sleeping, it's half past three in the morning..."
The time difference between France and China is a few hours. It is 9:30 pm at Gao Yi's place, but it is early morning at Mu Tianwen's place.
Not caring about waking up Mu Tianwen, Gao Yi whispered: "I have an urgent matter here and I need your advice."
As soon as he mentioned this Mu Tianwen, he became excited. His good brother actually needed to ask him for advice. This was very exciting for a young man.
"What's the matter? Brother, tell me and I'll give you some advice."
Gao Yi quickly said what happened just now, and then he whispered: "In this predicament, how do you think we should deal with it so that we can break it?"
Mu Tianwen said with extreme helplessness: "Brother, I'm only fourteen years old! What can I do about such a major national matter..."
Gao Yi coughed lightly, and then he whispered: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You can ask your teacher. Otherwise, why don't you call the teacher and ask for advice?"
Mu Tianwen was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly said: "Brother, you are really good at it."
Gao Yi smiled sheepishly.
Mu Tianwen took a breath and said, "It's too late now. I'll ask tomorrow morning, how about it?"
Gao Yi said sincerely: "No, it's urgent. You'd better ask now. For this matter, your teacher will only thank you for calling you in the middle of the night and will never blame you. Trust me."
