Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

He glanced at Wang Changsheng who was also in the conference room and saw that the old leader was sitting in his seat.

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, before we get down to business, I'd like to chat with you for a while."

"In the previous meeting, you once said that the desert region will fall into a long-term state of war. The demand for weapons and equipment by desert countries will be more vigorous than at the current stage. Drones will become their weapon of choice."

"Moreover, you also suggested that the relevant departments at home strengthen their ties with the desert countries and make preparations to sell our weapons and equipment to certain warring countries to earn foreign exchange. Wasn't that right, old man?"

"Commander, you are right. These are what I have said before."

Lin Kaifeng said seriously: "If you ask me to answer again now, I will still have the same attitude."

"The country is carrying out a new development work of military-to-civilian and internal-to-external transformation. Why don't we change the two-legged approach of earning foreign exchange into a three-legged approach?"

"Walking on three legs? Your statement is quite original."

The old leader smiled faintly and said, "Tell me what the three-legged walking is, and how this three-legged walking can help our economic development."

After he finished speaking, the old leader saw that Lin Kaifeng was still standing, and comforted him in a friendly manner, telling him not to be nervous.

Just say whatever you want to say, sit down and talk.

The speaker is not guilty.

Lin Kaifeng took a breath and said, "For a long time, my country's export-earning method has been single, mainly relying on the Canton Fair twice a year. Through the Canton Fair, we promote our mechanical products and agricultural products to foreign merchants participating in the fair and help them process some of their equipment."

"Since we entered the stage of economic restructuring, our way of earning foreign exchange has begun to move towards a different path. By attracting foreign investors and implementing the "three-in-one" policy, we have launched a new type of foreign exchange earning cooperation. But in my opinion, this is far from enough."

“Various wars in the desert will continue for a long time, possibly until the end of this decade.”

"As the saying goes, a cannon shot is worth a ton of gold. Wars are not just about money, but also about weapons and equipment. They are about comprehensive national strength. They are wars of attrition."

"Why Prussia, which had an absolute advantage in World War II, was finally defeated by the Soviet Union is enough to reflect what I want to express."

Hearing Lin Kaifeng shift the topic to World War II decades ago, several ministers and deputy ministers of the Ministry of Industry participating in the meeting all showed puzzled expressions.

Even the old leader began to murmur.

Is there any direct relationship between World War II and new export-earning channels?

The old leader tasted the implication of Lin Kaifeng's words, extinguished the cigarette in his hand, and said with a smile: "Are you trying to say that the reason why the Soviet Union was able to defeat Prussia was not so much because they defeated them as because they exhausted their war potential?"

"Yes, consumption."

Lin Kaifeng said.

"Consumption is the direct reason why the Soviet Union defeated Prussia."

Last year, there was a big fight between Latin America and Persia.

Each side dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops and thousands of tanks.

Analyzing the current war situation, the country of Lak has an absolute advantage and holds a large number of weapons from the Soviet Union.

Behind this is a large amount of financial assistance from desert countries.

But from a longer-term perspective.

This war cannot be won quickly.

It will turn into a long tug-of-war and war of attrition.

The United States and the West will not allow a new military hegemon to emerge in the desert region.

As for the Soviet Union, its attitude was more complicated.

Seeing Latin America strengthening its ties with the West, the Soviet Union would inevitably feel uneasy.

If Latin America cannot sever its ties with the West, the Soviet Union will certainly support Persia again.

The United States does not want a new military hegemon to emerge in the desert region, and the Soviet Union probably does not have such an idea either.

Lin Kaifeng said confidently: "Chief, when the weapons in the hands of Lak and Persia are about to be exhausted, they will inevitably seek to buy weapons from all over the world. At this time, the overwhelming business opportunities are just running to us."

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, your analysis is a bit too presumptuous."

Minister Li of the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building said: "This war affects not only the Rak and Persian countries, but also a series of desert countries, almost all of which have conflicts with Persian countries."

"From the perspective of their own interests, they will choose to stand by the side of the country of Latvia and provide more support."

"Even if the war enters the stage of attrition, Lak will be able to achieve ultimate victory."

Several other ministers sitting next to Minister Li nodded in agreement.

It's not that people look down on their own weapons, but through various rational analysis, even if Persia and Latvia really purchase large quantities of weapons from the international community.

Nor will they choose to purchase weapons from Dragon Country.

The ties between Lak and Long are not close. Persia is influenced by the Soviet Union and has various hostility towards Long.

In the global arms market, the Soviet Union and the United States have always been the largest arms exporters.

Anyway, no matter what, the huge business opportunities that Lin Kaifeng mentioned will never belong to Longguo.

Lin Kaifeng sighed helplessly.

Lin Kaifeng was not annoyed by everyone's rebuttal.

Many things that have not happened have limited people's attention to this war.

Unable to break through one's own limitations and see the business opportunities behind them.

The wars between Lak and Persia lasted for eight years.

The two countries lost all their wealth in the war and paid a price of 2000 billion US dollars.

The Dragon Kingdom made a fortune from this war.

By selling weapons to the two warring countries, Longguo obtained nearly 200 billion US dollars in foreign exchange funds.

A variety of weapons in stock are continuously delivered to the battlefield.

The middleman who helped Longguo open the door to this business was not the relevant domestic department.

It was not the Kingdom of Lak or Persia, but the Kingdom of Bayang, which had been a neighbor of the Kingdom of Long for countless years.

At this stage, two wars are being fought in the desert.

One war was a battle for hegemony between Persia and Latvia, and the other was an armed invasion by the Soviet Union.

The United States and the West vowed to trap the Soviet Union in the imperial graveyard and gave a large amount of money to the Pakistani country.

The Bayang Kingdom purchased weapons from the Long Kingdom and used the purchased weapons to arm the guerrillas against the Soviet Union.

When Longguo sells weapons, it never adds any additional conditions. One is one, and two is two.

The weapons sold can definitely be called conscientious products.

Feeling the sincerity of Longguo, Longguo had helped Bayangguo more than ten years ago.

The Bayang Kingdom took the initiative to act as an arms sales middleman and brought the Long Kingdom into the desert market.

Assisted Longguo to open the door to foreign arms sales.

Now, things haven't happened yet.

Lin Kaifeng's judgment was too advanced, and even the old leaders might not believe it all.

Thinking of this, Lin Kaifeng thought of the simplest way to convince everyone.

Price and quality.
