Chapter 548 - Heart of Thunder Horse Military Factory (1/2)
The otiation party were in the workshop to have a tour of the production line, and surprise ritten on every one of their faces The impression of most Westerners was that China manufactured socks and shi+rts, and the cheap vuvuzelas in football games As for weapons, those were either modelled after Russian weapons, or European and A at all
However, Thunder Horse Military Factory’s advanced production line, thought-out layout and clean production environht their attention It was different fros about this situation became rather mixed
China’s development was not all well-received by everyone, because this development threatened the interests of the Western countries This hy a technology blockade had been enacted, and there were trade barriers, and all sorts of discriy blockade, a sed to break out of these restrictions, and becolobal-class dark horse in the industry!
Looking at the advanced production line of Thunder Horse Military Factory, and the finished XL2500 sniper rifles and Gust assault rifles in the workshops, the Gerlum How could they be happy?
Members of the German party included firearineers and machinists like Josef They quickly entered work- every machine on the production line in earnest Some even started upHan drew close to Xia Lei’s side and said in a low voice, “Lei, would they be able to steal your coh and also lowered his voice “Don’t worry, Brother Ling My technology can’t be stolen just by looking and operating the y, they will have to give so Han clapped Xia Lei on the shoulder and relaxed “I feel assured by your words We shall negotiate with them after their tour of the place is done Sit next to me, and do not declare your position on the nal when it’s needed”
Xia Lei nodded
Just then, Josef suddenly exclaimed, “How is this possible?” He had just processed a sent lathe
Annina walked over “What seems to be the problen feels fa to say is that this is quite sined But its capabilities are a bit better than the one which I had designed,” said Josef
Annina gave a laugh “Josef, BMW and Mercedes-Benz are both automobile manufacturers The cars theywheel I think the si like this They’re both intelligent lathes, so there are sure to be similarities”
But Josef shook his head “No I know about son, and these are unique Your metaphor cannot be applied to this”
Philip walked over “Have you discovered a problem, Mr Josef?”
“The lathes here are very sined This is quite odd, since a lot of these design parts are unique”
“And the perforlanced surreptitiously at Xia Lei, and that glance was tinged with suspicion
Josef was silent for a bit before he said, “The lathes here are ned, and more perfect”
Philip drew close to Josef’s ear and he whispered, “Let ent lathes to the sa a look at their ht for a bit, and said, “The intelligent lathe I designed is already very advanced To make it evenand trying but I haven’t ent lathe has gone beyond the level of mine This is quite unexpected You ask raded, and this is n, and its electrical circuits, so I cannot do it unless you get the design plans, and an intelligent lathe like this”
Philip was fairly disappointed After all these, they still needed to negotiate It would have been best for hiht would have been able to discern the secrets of Thunder Horse Military Factory’s froy without giving anything in exchange, but it ishful thinking It would be a different matter, however, if the experts like Josef had X-ray vision like Xia Lei did
“But Mr Philip,” whispered Josef in his ear, “If they want to exchange this technology for the Eurofighter Typhoon technology, then it’s not worth it for us If you agree to this exchange, it’ll be like exchanging a kilograold”
Philip scoffed “You don’t have to worry about that We have prepared plenty of options for they and so is just that, then they can only get so of equivalent value We do not have more e and lip-read what they said, then whispered the contents of their conversation to Ling Han
Ling Han wrinkled his brows “3D-printing technology? We’re not inferior to the Europeans and Ay, that’s not ant Avionics technology et the Eurofighter Typhoon engine technology, then these negotiations are done”
Xia Lei glanced at Annina and asked, “What about Annina, Brother Ling?”
“If the negotiations fall through, she’ll be brought back to Germany You have to understand that ill not butt heads with the leader of the European Union over a woman Lei, you have already done what you should have She will understand if you cannot help her”
Xia Lei thought for a bit “And if I can make the deal happen?”
“That’ll be no problem then But what do you plan to do?”
In truth, he was not optih he was personally leading the party in negotiations They were trying to negotiate for the Eurofighter Typhoon engine technology after all The Germans would be under pressure from the EU and the US, and would also have to deal with the rise of China If they had nothing to interest the Germans, would they bear this pressure frouns and a better intelligent lathe for the Typhoon? Of course not
