For Ye Chen, the arms trade is a relatively mysterious field. [full text reading]

Anyone who pays close attention to the news will know how many arms the United States has sold in a year, and this year it sold to Japan’s F-35, and Hongqi 9 has not been sold.

As a military fan, Ye Chen is particularly interested in this. In the past, there was no chance to understand, but now Wu Jinchen, a participant in the arms trade, is right in front of him. If Ye Chen doesn't figure it out and satisfy his curiosity, he won't be Ye Chen.

"Tell me." Not only Ye Chen is very interested, but Guo Haoyu and Zhu Xinyan are not curious?

For them, the arms trade is almost a legendary thing, and they have no chance to contact it at all. If they have this opportunity to learn about it, they will not miss it.

Wu Jinchen saw Ye Chen and the others as curious babies, and was a little speechless. He really didn't expect that the famous senior executives of the future concept would have such a curious side.

"Speaking of the arms trade, the United States is the largest exporter of arms, Mao Xiong is the second, and we are the third." Wu Jinchen began to introduce the international arms trade, saying: "The reason for this situation is not only because our country The late entry into the international arms trade also has a particularly important relationship with politics.”

"How do you say that?" Guo Haoyu asked.

"There is an international saying: Arms trade is the highest manifestation of good political relations between the two countries. To achieve arms trade, the political relations between the two countries must be good, otherwise there will be no negotiation. For buyers, if the political relations are not good, I bought your munitions, but what if you don’t supply me with ammunition?” Wu Jinchen mentioned an example here, saying: “We all know that the war between Britain and Amah Islands ended with the victory of Britain and the defeat of Argentina. After the war, most people It is not fair to accuse the Argentine military of being incompetent. The Argentine military is not vegetarian, and the reason for its failure has a lot to do with the arms trade."

"Oh, there is such a saying?" Many company executives were surprised.

In the British-Amazon War, it was recognized that the Argentine military was incompetent and was defeated by the British. Wu Jinchen's statement is quite different and unexpected.

"Argentina bought arms from the West at that time. When ammunition was urgently needed, the West collectively stopped selling ammunition to Argentina. The reason is that the United Kingdom is the younger brother of the United States. In other words, the West is all on the same side. They wear a pair of trousers. Therefore, these Western countries cut off the supply of arms to Argentina to help Britain." Wu Jinchen explained.

I see! Everyone was stunned.

"This example is a good example. The arms trade must have good political relations. It can be said that I will not buy your things if I am not an iron buddy.

No matter how good it is. "Wu Jinchen continued: "On the other hand, I won't sell you the weapon if I'm not an iron buddy. If the political relationship is not good, I sold you the weapon, and you come to beat me again, what should I do? This has happened to our country. "

Ye Chen took over the conversation and said: "The small country in the south, if it wasn't for the free support from our country, no one can say whether it would have been wiped out by the United States. Later, this small country fought us with the weapons and ammunition we supported. There was the self-defense counterattack more than 30 years ago."

Everyone knows the reason for the counterattack more than 30 years ago. During the US invasion, our country supported a large amount of arms. Later, this small country used these weapons and ammunition to attack us.

This is a very sad thing.

"That's right." Wu Jinchen agreed deeply, and said, "Good political relations are the prerequisite for the arms trade. This is also the reason why the United States is the world's largest arms trading country."

"How do you say that?" Guo Haoyu didn't understand.

"Guo Zi, Mr. Wu's words are so obvious, you still don't understand?" Ye Chen looked at Guo Haoyu and asked.

Not only Guo Haoyu didn't understand, even Zhu Xinyan and the others didn't understand.

"Guo Zi, you are all watching the news. From time to time, you will know how the allies of the United States are. If you count them carefully, you will find that the United States has many allies." Ye Chen explained for them, saying: "These allies are just official The beautiful words are used to fool people. To be honest, these so-called allies are just pawns of the United States, and they can even be said to be vassals. These so-called allies have to listen to the United States. If the United States does not agree Otherwise, these so-called allies can’t do anything.”

Speaking of this, Ye Chen paused briefly, and gave an example: "As you all know, European countries once announced in a high-profile manner that they would lift the arms embargo against our country and sell weapons to our country. Not long after, This matter disappeared, and the ban has not been lifted until now, why? It is because the United States does not agree."

"This incident is a good example of how strong the United States controls these so-called allies. Therefore, the United States can safely sell weapons to these so-called allies. Although these so-called allies may feel unwilling, but, You can’t get rid of the control of the United States, you can only obediently buy American weapons. Therefore, the United States has naturally become the world’s largest arms trading country.”

Guo Haoyu and the others were stunned.

Clap clap!

Wu Jinchen applauded first, followed by Elder Zhuang and Xiao Lingyue. Guo Haoyu and the others also joined in, especially agreeing with Ye Chen's analysis.

"Ye Dong has a thorough understanding of international relations." Wu Jinchen was greatly impressed.

Ever since he was warned by Mr. Zhuang when he went to Huangchenggen, Ye Chen has been paying attention to this aspect of learning, and he has learned a lot, and has a good view on international relations.

"We all know that the weapons of the United States have always been the most advanced in the world. Why is this? The reason is that the United States can still use things from its allies. For example, why can't Europe lift the arms embargo on our country? Just as Mr. Ye said it was because the United States did not agree. Then, there is a question, why did the United States not agree? Because 30% of the weapon technology of the United States comes from Europe. If Europe sells weapons to our country, our country will not Thirty percent of the U.S. military secrets can be mastered with little effort. Then reverse engineering, research and research, it is not a problem to master 40 to 50 percent of the U.S. military secrets. Therefore, the U.S. is afraid and does not allow Europe to release the military secrets of our country arms embargo." Wu Jinchen added.

Europe has imposed an arms embargo on our country for more than 20 years. During this period, several attempts to lift it failed because of the obstruction of the United States. The reason is that the United States used a lot of European technology.

"Some time ago, the President of the United States directly intervened in Germany, forbidding our country to acquire a German company, because a large American arms dealer is an important customer of this German company." Ye Chen added.

"That's right, that's right." Wu Jinchen strongly agreed, and said, "The United States is worried that this will reveal its military secrets and directly intervene."

Everyone knows this news and understands it immediately.

"It is precisely because of these advantages that the United States can use the technology and funds of its so-called allies, and the United States will not be able to use advanced weapons." Wu Jinchen continued to analyze, saying: "After all, Mao Xiong is the successor of the Red Empire. It is very influential in the world, and of course it has become the second largest arms trading country."

The Red Empire has fought against the United States for decades. Although it disintegrated, there are still many legacies left behind. In particular, the Red Empire pursues the principle of supporting the people with the military. Its weapons have their own characteristics and were once very popular.

"Although our country has become the third largest arms trading country, our weapons are mainly sold to countries with which we have a particularly good relationship. The reason is that our country does not have the advantages of the United States and Mao Xiong, and we are catching up. Wu Jinchen analyzed and said: "If we want to catch up, we must first improve the political relationship. Without a reliable political relationship, it is impossible to sell our country's arms."

Friends who pay attention to the arms trade know that there are only a few arms sold in our country, and countries with particularly good political relations with our country. Beyond that, not much was sold.

This is determined by the characteristics of the arms trade. Without good political relations, they are not close friends. One dare not sell, and the other dare not buy.

If our country wants to make a difference in the arms trade, we must do a good job in diplomacy and expand our influence on a global scale. Only in this way can our arms sell well.

"Well, I think the arms trade has another meaning, which is equivalent to standing in line." Ye Chen thought for a while.

"That's right." Wu Jinchen agreed deeply, and said: "The particularity of the arms trade determines that the arms trade is to stand in line. If I want to sell it to you, you have to reassure me. If I want to buy your weapons, you have to reassure me. This also means that the seller will not choke the buyer, and the buyer will not use the seller's weapon to attack the seller. In fact, this is equivalent to a quasi-alliance relationship."

In today's world, the United States and China are the three largest arms exporters. If we analyze the arms trade of these three countries, we will find that the United States mainly sells to the allies of the United States, Mao Xiong mainly sells to his good friends, and China mainly sells to those who have a good relationship with China. nation.

These are actually the three major forces, and it can also be said to be a quasi-alliance.

"Our country once wanted to sell Hongqi 9 to a country, and the conditions given were quite generous. This country just used our country as a bargaining chip and wanted to buy missiles from the West. But it didn't occur to me that it didn't take long for Mao Xiong's relationship broke down, and he wanted to buy missiles from the West, but the West would not sell them. Looking back, if he wanted to buy our Hongqi 9, we would not sell them either." Guo Haoyu said very disdainfully: "According to me, we will Do not sell weapons to this country."

"No!" Wu Jinchen objected very clearly, saying: "We not only want to sell, but also sell it big. At this stage, the timing is not right. When the timing is right, we will restart the arms trade with this country."

"Why?" Everyone was puzzled.

Obviously this country is tricking us and using us as a bargaining chip. It stands to reason that such a country should stop doing business with it, why should it do it again?
