Chapter 334: Good friends, we should deepen our cooperation

Later, the Israelis' Iron Dome was also developed only because they were stimulated by a certain Sha person's purchase of the East Wind-3, but in fact this thing is not very reliable; it fundamentally cannot accurately intercept, and more importantly, its cost is too high to be mass-produced; as long as one missile fails to be intercepted, it will bring catastrophic consequences.

Now the Israelis are even less capable of intercepting the East Wind-3; even the American "dad" doesn't have it!

Since there's no way to defend against a certain Sha person's retaliation, at this point to stubbornly plan a bombing operation is simply suicide!

Moreover, if a certain Sha person actually had a nuclear warhead in hand, just one could destroy Tel Aviv; dozens of missiles falling would completely destroy the whole Israeli state—this would be a war of national annihilation.

The Israelis cannot destroy a certain Sha person, but that Sha person can destroy them!

The Israelis have completely lost their confidence, while in a certain Sha person's palace the atmosphere is lively.

"Qin, thank you for sending us these good things; with them we can better defend our country!"

"Your Majesty, you flatter me; these are what we ought to do, and since we signed the contract we must fulfill its terms." Qin Miao said with a smile: "Although the Israelis probably wouldn't dare to act, we still need to guard against them; I suggest deploying ground-based air-defense radars on the routes they might use, so that if they dare come, they won't return."

"Good."

Who knows what stimulus the Israelis might receive, prompting them to do something extreme; Qin Miao needs to remind them.

"Our Truck Cannon will be deployed at the border; as long as they dare to come bomb us, our Truck Cannon will launch a dense strike!" Sultan said.

This Truck Cannon is really effective; its advanced nature has already been proven on the Iran-Iraq battlefield, and now...

"Well, we are still improving it; since we already have a satellite guidance system, we will integrate this, making the artillery's long-range strike precision higher, but... the shells will also become more expensive."

"No problem, price isn't an issue; as long as you develop it, we're willing to buy in large quantities. By the way, I heard the trucks used in this batch of equipment are also made by your East?"

"Yes, we have introduced Steyr technology in the East; these Steyr heavy trucks are currently assembled via the CKD method, but we will soon raise the localization rate and eventually produce them entirely domestically."

"Hmm, not bad; we trust the East's strength. By the way, I heard you also cooperated with Mercedes-Benz?"

"That's right; we also introduced Mercedes-Benz NG80 technology, and these vehicles will gradually begin production."

"Good; later we will purchase Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks from the East."

A certain Sha person is generous enough as a friend; when visiting his home as a guest, you must not show excessive liking for something, otherwise when you're about to leave, that Sha person will wrap it up and give it to you, regardless of whether it's valuable; he doesn't care.

Now the East has provided a certain Sha person with a national treasure; he naturally must return the favor, wanting to give the East a large investment.

"Good." Qin Miao nodded; he had no objection, after all in the early stage the East still needed to buy many parts from Germany for assembly, and a certain Sha person spending money to buy whole vehicles was perfect for earning foreign exchange, using his money to buy German parts—great!

After returning, I should also check out my father's heavy truck factory; I don't know when Ge Lixi will arrive.

"Your Majesty, we should develop a closer relationship between our two countries, right?"

The old king quickly reacted: "That's only natural; we will promptly send a foreign minister over to establish diplomatic relations with the East! In the future we also want to further develop trade."

This is a win-win.

A certain Sha person's land has oil; this black gold cannot be eaten, so after selling the oil he must buy, buy, buy—from cars, refrigerators, washing machines down to toilet paper, flashlights, vegetables, fruit—all of these need to be bought.

The East's gates are open; we were worried about lacking foreign trade business, but now we can just start these businesses.

Find a sales outlet for the East's cheap agricultural and light industrial goods, bring the Sha person high-quality, low-cost products—win-win!

And establishing diplomatic relations is even more important; after all, they haven't established diplomatic relations with the East, meaning they've been keeping close ties with another region; now that they establish diplomatic relations with us, that region should be cast aside!

"Good."

Having eaten and drunk their fill, it was already late at night when Qin Miao and Chu Miaomiao returned to the hotel and received news from the Capital.

"Great! I was just thinking about Ge Lixi; now he's about to take office, so we also need to hurry back!"

Chu Miaomiao nodded: "San Shui brother, returning to the Capital, I also want to see what Ge Lixi is like; hearing you praise him so much, he's definitely a rare talent."

"That's right, he really is talent." Qin Miao said: "I can't wait."

East, Capital, International Airport.

A Boeing 707 descended slowly, the cabin door opened, and a somewhat overweight old man appeared at the doorway; his hair was gray-white, and behind his glasses his eyes shone with excitement.

Ge Lixi, born in 1919, graduated from the Darmstadt Aviation Technical Engineer School, long served as a factory manager; by 1979 he had already reached retirement age, but he worked a few more years before finally retiring honorably.

Then he accepted the invitation and came to the East.

"Mr. Ge Lixi, welcome to the East!" Just then someone came up to greet him.

"Who are you?"

"We are from the Qingshan Mercedes-Benz heavy truck factory; we came specially to pick you up, the car is already here, please get in."

Ge Lixi blinked: "I... haven't gone through customs yet."

"We have arranged special clearance for you; you can go straight onto the vehicle!"

Ge Lixi was stunned; few can obtain such permission—basically it's the kind granted to state leaders on visits, which exempts them from customs, lets their entourage skip inspection, and even allows them to carry guns.

The Easterners are really good to themselves!

Ge Lixi felt warm inside.

"By the way, let me introduce myself: I'm Qin Miao, son of the factory director of the Qingshan Mercedes-Benz plant; my father and the others have already prepared a grand welcoming ceremony at the factory, so let's go, get in the car!"

"Good."

Ge Lixi was very pleased; wait, this Qin Miao's name sounds familiar... I must have heard it somewhere...
