After landing at Nanyuan Airport, Zhou Qingfeng was interviewed by a small reporter outside the terminal. Just twenty or thirty meters away from him, a Santana parked on the roadside lowered its rear window.
Behind the window, a camera with a long lens was pressing the shutter, and the clicking sound continued for a while.
The person holding the camera is a petite foreign girl with wavy curly hair, a delicate face, a very young face, and a somewhat playful expression.
In the driver's seat was a sturdy foreigner in casual clothes. He glanced in Zhou Qingfeng's direction for a while and asked impatiently: "Michelle, why do we have to stare at this guy?"
Zhou Qingfeng has finished the interview, boarded the car and left.
The little foreign girl had finished taking pictures and sighed: "This is my job, but this job is really boring.
I am very interested in Eastern culture and thought that this mysterious country would give me an unforgettable adventure, but this country is too boring."
Sighing and shaking her head, she corrected her, "Don't call me Michelle, my name is Megan now."
The burly foreigner rolled his eyes, started the engine, and followed Zhou Qingfeng's motorcade. He didn't know much about Megan in the back seat, and he was simply assigned by his superiors to be his partner.
This Michelle... or the girl named Megan comes from DOD on the other side of the ocean. At first glance, she looks like the kind of person who graduated from a prestigious university and is extremely confident and adventurous.
Perhaps it was because of their appreciation of Megan's ability and character that the CIA recruited and trained her and sent her to other countries to perform tasks. But sending such a rookie to a flower grower was really...
Too haphazard decision-making.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Red Soviets are about to collapse. The US empire is about to become or is already the most powerful global empire in human history.
Looking around, there is no opponent.
The intelligence system that cost huge sums of money to build during the Cold War has become useless in an instant. Eagle Sauce's agents do not need to take any risks at all and can freely enter and exit the forbidden areas of their opponents in the past.
Obtaining information is as easy as visiting a vegetable garden, and some people even exchange information for money. After all, after a while, the so-called information will no longer be meaningful.
As for today's flower growers, they really don't have the eyes of Yingjiang.
The twenty-four whiteboard ‘Su-27s’ are the current hot stars of the Air Force, and the main force is the ‘MiG-21’ that has been modified again and again. As for the ‘beautiful man in the air’, God knows who picked up such a disgusting nickname.
As for the Navy, beggars should not show off their treasures in front of the Dragon King. In the 1990s, let alone the American emperor and the footbath, even those bald men across the strait were better than us.
The only one I can talk about is the Army. Not to mention compared with the US imperialism that just finished the Gulf War, even compared with the ravaged Iraq, the Army's equipment is lagging behind.
For example, in the armored force, Saddam has a full set of Soviet-style equipment, but China is still using various "T-54" modifications. This kind of old-fashioned tank is not even as good as the M-48 modification that the United States has made so much.
That's right, it's the M-48 from the Korean War.
In the late 1970s, China had obtained the M-48. The Armored Forces Technology Research Institute conducted a comparative test with the '59', and many scientific research units such as the Imperial City Institute of Technology participated.
The experiment ran more than a thousand kilometers and more than 70 motorcycle hours. There was no problem with the M-48. The engine and gearbox were fully functioning and the reliability was beyond imagination.
As for '59', don't mention it, it broke down too many times.
In addition, the power pack of the M-48 can be hoisted as a whole and can be replaced in an hour, making it extremely maintainable. And we...
In 2016, 96A went to Da Mao's house to challenge and participate in the "tank biathlon".
The participating team members discovered that the engine was leaking oil, so they quickly replaced the power pack before the game. It took 11 hours. This still broke the record and was reported as news by reporters.
Because it usually takes a day or two to do the work.
When a war actually breaks out, maintainability determines how much equipment a commander has on hand that can be put to immediate use. Otherwise, a thousand tanks might seem like a lot in a military camp, and less than half of them might be able to be pulled out to fight.
It was against this background that the burly foreigner who drove to monitor Zhou Qingfeng felt that his job was really meaningless. He was accompanying a rookie from DOD, staring at the smugglers sternly.
Maybe this smuggler is somewhat capable, but so what?
In the eyes of Westerners, the Soviet Union has collapsed. How can flower growers survive? Maybe it will collapse someday.
"Meghan, actually you can just write some reports." The sturdy foreigner stared at the rearview mirror. He was thinking that he should go to the bar in the imperial capital to relax at night, so he advised: "No one cares."
The little foreign girl raised her head and glanced at her partner, "Daniel, what do you mean?"
The sturdy foreigner shrugged, "I mean, there are no secrets in this country that we need to pay too much attention to. Look at the roads here, look at the cities here, it's not even as good as Thailand."
Have you been to Thailand? It’s really nice there.” Speaking of Thailand, the strong foreigner beamed, “I like Pattaya, the girls there are so enthusiastic.”
The little foreign girl curled her lips, knowing that all men are like this. She could only reply seriously: "Daniel, we are dealing with a big case. I think it is necessary to investigate this."
"But what did you find out?" The strong foreigner complained as he drove, "You sent a loser named Anderson Qin to Tianyang.
Who knows what that guy did? The reports he sent out every week were just a bunch of shit. He might have taken tens of thousands of dollars of our funding to hide out.
I've seen too many of these yellow trash, they would sell their souls to the devil for a little money."
The little foreign girl shook her head, "Anderson is still working hard. I admire the Asian's loyalty very much. There are occasions when it's not convenient for me to show up, so his Asian face is very suitable."
According to his investigation, more than a dozen research institutes in the Imperial Capital have recently launched hundreds of projects, such as large-capacity broadband communication satellites.
Communication satellites have high requirements for electronic technology. If you want to have sufficient communication bandwidth, you must have a powerful enough chip. Processors, memories, transponders, D/A components, etc. are all indispensable.
We have cut off their supply of high-grade chips, and their projects were completely stopped in the past two years. But now they have resumed, not only resumed but even accelerated."
The price of satellites can easily reach hundreds of millions, of which chip costs account for a large part. Domestic development of satellites is very slow because it is too difficult to obtain relevant components.
The little foreign girl removed the telephoto lens of the camera and put it into a special carrying bag, "I have an intuition that the 'Holy Light' company has taken over the supply of high-end chips in this country.
But if it is based on the market price, either Holy Light’s customers cannot afford it, or Holy Light itself will suffer losses. This completely violates the law of value.
Now, not only is this company not losing money, it is also planning to purchase passenger aircraft with great fanfare. Although Soviet goods are very cheap, it still costs a lot of money.
Daniel, aren't you curious? Why does the Holy Light have so much money? I want to uncover this mystery."
Hahaha... The seriousness of the little foreign girl made the burly foreigner laugh, "Meghan, you are really a newbie and very passionate about your work. But now I can only find a place to have a drink."
As for this strange company, why don't you write a report and let the DOD guys make the decision? You will definitely receive a reply that says...
‘Michelle, thank you for your hard work for national security. This discovery is very important and we take it extremely seriously. Please continue to work hard to collect more information and we will fully support you.’”
The strong foreigner's words were funny, but he used the words used by the DOD bureaucrats just right.
The little foreign girl in the back seat shook her head slightly and smiled. She was holding a small carbide part in her hand and repeatedly groping for the smooth curved surface.
Recently, several domestic machine tool factories have made great progress in their cemented carbide processing capabilities, with yield rates and production capacity soaring, and costs falling significantly.
Carbide is widely used in mine drilling, instrument measurement, cylinder bearings, fastening parts, etc. However, its processing is difficult.
But recently, several Japanese automobile manufacturers have been testing fasteners provided in China. It is said that the quality is good and the price is only a fraction of the previous price.
If it passes the test, it can be exported. This is a foreign exchange-earning project, and there may be contracts worth millions of dollars a year. Many domestic companies are eyeing this piece of meat.
Perhaps to large companies in Europe, the United States and Japan, contracts worth millions of dollars a year are not worth mentioning at all. But Meghan pinched the small parts in her hands and felt that this was just the tip of the iceberg.
