Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Chapter 308: Mediation Behind the Scenes

Washington, D.C. A famous apartment building.

"Ye called and asked me to help purchase some technology?" General Shi, who had already retired, picked up the telegram and asked his butler with some confusion.

Since returning home victoriously, I haven't been in touch with Staff Officer Ye for some time.

"Yes, sir, this is a message from Ye Lai Dian, in which he asks you to help them purchase EMD's E5 diesel locomotive head technology and 5-ton synthetic production line technology." The butler said respectfully.

"These technologies are somewhat sensitive. The E5 internal combustion engine has two high-horsepower diesel engines on the locomotive head. The 5-ton synthetic ammonia technology is also the first-class technology for fertilizer production. The export needs to be approved, and it is estimated that it will not be easy to approve."

General Shi frowned and read the telegram.

There was nothing special about the call. After a simple greeting, General Shi was invited to testify on behalf of the two technologies purchased by Longguo Import and Export Company, which had passed the congressional review and proved that they would not have an impact on the Rogue Eagle.

To be honest, General Shi has some understanding of these two technologies.

It is a bit sensitive to say the least. After all, the technology of the high-power Type 567 diesel engine on the nose of the aircraft has to be delivered to the other party. For the Liming Research Institute of Power, obtaining these technologies means opening the door to high-power diesel engines. Combined with the marine ST70 diesel engine they introduced for shipbuilding before, the Liming Power Research Institute can make a big step forward in the field of high-horsepower diesel engines.

There is hope that it can reach the top of the world's high-power diesel engine technology and become one of the sources of the four major production industry chains of diesel engine technology in the world.

Finally, it can be compared with the big brothers of diesel engines such as MAN and Sulzer in Europe, GE in Rogue Eagle, and Kharkov Machine-Building Plant in Big Bear. For the great powers, this is indeed a bit unhappy. You know, large diesel engines can do a lot of things, not just pushing ships and trains, they are also good at pushing tanks and battleships.

A true power core.

However, since the Liming Power Research Institute had already introduced the ST70 marine diesel engine and completed purely independent production in the field of large diesel engines, it had already been exposed to related large diesel engine technologies. Even if there was no introduction, it would only take some time to use this experience to continue to develop large diesel engines. They had no way to stop the progress of the Liming Power Research Institute.

Large gasoline engines, large diesel engines, and large steam turbines, the starting point of the Liming Power Research Institute is now very high, and there is no way to stop it.

As for synthetic ammonia technology, it is also a dual-use product for both military and civilian use. In wartime, ammonia is also one of the raw materials for the production of explosives. But in the final analysis, synthetic ammonia is also mainly used for fertilizer. Although Longguo does not have a complete set of 5-ton synthetic ammonia technology, it already has 1-ton and 3-ton technologies. Even if they do not sell them, they will eventually master them through their own research.

So whether it is the internal combustion locomotive or the 5-ton synthetic ammonia equipment, these are just the current next-generation technology and are still some distance away from the top level.

Revenge is completely ambiguous in Rogue Eagle. If there is no capable person to deal with this matter, it will be very troublesome. If it is not handled properly, it will not only be expensive, but it may not pass the license at all and you cannot buy it.

However, if there are capable people lobbying, the rogue Eagle will have more room to maneuver if he finds the right person to do things. Even if good things take time, they will eventually be overcome.

Ren Zhong has studied the lobbying system of rogue eagles. To put it bluntly, it is a mechanism of exchanging favors and interests, which is just a business done by putting it on the table in a high-sounding manner.

If you find the wrong person for this kind of thing, you will get twice the result with half the effort and the price will be extremely high; but if you find the right person and the right way, everything will go smoothly and the price will be relatively reasonable. These foreign devils are really asking for a lot when they charge people. If they can get a hold of you, they will really offer a price that is so expensive that it is unacceptable.

A rogue eagle should not serve too many dishes to people.

"Have their representatives made an appointment?" General Shi looked at the things Ye wanted to buy and thought for a while. This matter was not a big deal, so he could help with this favor, which could be considered as repaying a favor.

"I made an appointment once, but I declined until you confirmed it, sir," said the butler.

"Call me back and I agree. Next time someone asks you out, agree to it. I owe Ye a life." General Shi said calmly.

Mr. Chen contacted General Shi again. As a rare five-star general in the military, General Shi naturally had a very high status, and many people had to give him some face. He agreed to take action, thinking that it would be a trivial matter that could be accomplished easily.

But when I actually went out to inquire, I found that this matter was very problematic, even fraught with difficulties, and some people were trying to hinder it.

First of all, the relationship between the two sides is not good, and they have not established direct diplomatic relations yet.

Some of these technologies were sensitive, and the company that wanted to sell steam locomotives was opposing it with all their might. If they could sell the outdated steam locomotives, there would be no need to sell them the new diesel locomotives.

It has to be said that their lobbying is still very popular, so General Shi’s initial lobbying activities ran into a wall with many congressmen.

General Shi’s Apartment, Washington, DC.

General Shi's friend Oren Amos came to visit.

"Warren, I know you are helping Longguo import internal combustion locomotives," Mr. Oren Amos, who came uninvited, stated his purpose directly after meeting General Shi. "Commercial Machines asked me for a favor. They want to use your relationship with Longguo to introduce their transistor computer technology. If this can be done, they will do their best to help promote the export of internal combustion locomotive technology and synthetic ammonia technology."

"Oren, I feel like you are dreaming. Dragon Country will not exchange such cutting-edge technology for a diesel locomotive." General Shi glanced at Amos.

Although he did not understand these technologies very well, as one of the senior executives of Rogue Eagle, he knew very well that transistor computers were extremely high-end products in Rogue Eagle. The transistor computers obtained through some channels were now being used for secret research.

"Let's try. Maybe they will exchange. You brought us this great technology of rockets before, Warren. Frankly speaking, I think this is the greatest deal you have brokered. Without this deal, we wouldn't even be a world power. We actually exchanged this unimaginable weapon, which can strike thousands of miles away unmanned, for the C-47."

I have to say, Warren, you have a really good vision. With the rocket, we have undoubtedly gained the upper hand in the competition with Big Bear. Some of the V2 rocket technology they obtained from the mustache engineer is simply not worth mentioning for our current rockets. "Amos praised generously.

"Stop, Oren, if your goal today is to brag, then you can shut up." General Shi glanced at Amos. He felt helpless about his old friend who changed his career to become a corporate executive. Is being a businessman really so unscrupulous?
"Well, Warren, my old friend, if the technology transfer requirements are too high and difficult to achieve, then you can definitely do the next thing, which is to convince them to export and give the agency rights to our commercial machines. This is always achievable, right?" Amos stated his final request.
