Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 432 Boeing Continues to Exert Force (Second Update)

P.S.: The previous chapter is still closed, read this chapter first.

Following the Polar Bear military exercises, the entire situation in the West changed dramatically, from politicians to the media.

The pizzerias around the Hexagon have been doing brisk business in the evenings for the past twenty days, with nighttime orders several times higher than a month ago.

A pizzeria received a delivery call in the afternoon, ordering late-night snacks.

The Pentagon's main task now is to keep an eye on the polar bear. If they're not careful, they might wake up the next day to find that Sanders has been captured.

Imagine two thousand tanks charging on the ground in a massive formation, including the world's most advanced tanks like the T-72 and T-80, along with a massive swarm of helicopters, armored vehicles, and supersonic Backfire bombers.

And the polar bear's fighting prowess kept the people at the Hexagon up all night.

Of course, the most miserable are the European allies. These people have to sleep with one eye open now, otherwise they might become prisoners the next morning and be sent to Siberia to dig potatoes.

There are also benefits for Aramco, namely that wealthy people in Europe are transferring their assets to Aramco.

European currencies also experience significant exchange rate fluctuations.

Western politicians are holding more parties, and in one particular estate, an actor is with others.

"We must now target Fat Bear."

“But…but now the East has many technologies that no longer need ours, and they’ve even become our competitors,” someone said.

Upon hearing this, the actor shook his head: "You've only seen one side of the story!"

"But have you considered what would happen if the East cooperated with the polar bear?"

"What kind of situation will we face next?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent!
Because what happened decades ago will repeat itself.

Moreover, the technological prowess that the East has demonstrated in recent years, if combined with that of the polar bear!

"The situation isn't that bad yet!"

“I saw some documents that showed that Polar Bear wanted to buy diesel engines and other things from the Eastern family, but the Eastern family didn’t sell them.”

"And the polar bear's underlings are fighting a war with the East!"

"Their relationship won't improve anytime soon."

"What we need to do now is to integrate Dongfang into our circle, not push Dongfang out!"

"To be honest, the whole of Europe can't compare to the East!" the actor-president said bluntly.

"Their car engine technology and aircraft technology have also reached world-leading levels!"

“We have seen these in person.”

“So gentlemen, it’s time to make a decision!” the actor declared.

"Who exactly is behind this Parkson company? And why does it possess so much advanced technology?!"

"What are the intelligence agencies doing? Still no leads?!"

"Exactly, why does this company keep coming up with so many new technologies!" The gentlemen mentioned by the actor-president seemed a little annoyed upon hearing this.

To be precise, I have a dry mouth and throat!

If the East and the polar bears align themselves, then America will be left to defend the Americas alone!

At that time, America will lose Europe, Africa, and Asia.

Then we will face even more severe challenges, having lost Europe as a buffer zone.

The head of the intelligence department took a deep breath and said, "Based on the current intelligence analysis, all the clues point to the Dongfang family's most mysterious research institution!"

"Although Parkson applied for the patent on Hong Kong Island, all the information was sent from the mainland to Hong Kong Island."

The head of the intelligence department still doesn't know where Baisheng Company's technology came from. In any case, it didn't come from the West, much less from the North American bear, so it must be from the East itself.

"We invited relevant industry experts to analyze the patents applied for by Yum! Brands!"

"Their engine technology did not come from any Western country or company, although of course it contains elements of our technology."

"Besides, everyone knows that a patent is a patent, and a finished product is a finished product!"

"Patents only cover the appearance of the drawings; the finished product involves the core manufacturing process!"

"I think I can take a look at the historical documents about the East in the museum!"

"In the thousands of years of human history, the East has been ahead for four thousand years!"

The head of the intelligence department had no choice but to say that if he didn't give the gentlemen present an explanation, they would fire him.

"Here's a point I want to make."

"We don't have many technologies left that give us a technological edge over the East!"

"In fact, we made four wrong decisions to restrict the spread of technology to the East!"

“If we spread advanced technology to the East, then the East will not develop its own technology.”

"Moreover, while spreading technology to the East, we can also win over some people in the East!"

"Let's see Boeing's reaction?"

"Let's see how companies like Ford and General Motors react?"

"If we continue the blockade, one day they will surpass us in every way."

"Although the technology in the East has improved, the related products have not yet covered the market!"

"This is our best opportunity to use our massive industrial capacity to dump high-end products on them."

"We can export chips, computers, and all kinds of high-end CNC machine tools to them!" The head of the intelligence department began to shift the focus.

Everyone else present seemed thoughtful after hearing the intelligence chief's analysis!
Someone spoke up: "We can talk to the East. We can open our market to the East, but the East must also open its market to us!"

"The medium- and long-range passenger aircraft manufactured by the Dongfang family's Chang'an Aircraft Manufacturing Plant have not yet been finalized and put into mass production. Boeing's aircraft can take advantage of this situation!"

"Seize the market first!" This person was someone who had received benefits from Boeing.

Boeing originally planned to introduce new aircraft safety standards, but it now appears that this plan is not going to proceed.

Therefore, Boeing executives and shareholders held a meeting and discussed using political influence to open up the Eastern market.

Of course, in exchange, Aramco would have to open its market to the East.

The most likely candidate is the East, which has opened up its automotive market.

Of course, it is also possible to open the aircraft market in a reciprocal exchange.

However, Chang'an Aircraft Manufacturing Company's new aircraft is not yet finalized, let alone mass-produced, so Boeing must seize the market in a short period of time!

Boeing felt this was the best opportunity, and possibly the last.

As long as the plane can enter the Eastern market, there will naturally be people speaking up for their own interests.

Moreover, this can mitigate the losses, because Boeing has invested a lot in the new aircraft safety standards.

Now is the perfect time for these politicians to bring up these conditions in their negotiations with the East.

Because those politicians are unlikely to return the benefits.

That's why some people are now speaking up for Boeing.

Of course, Boeing was unaware that their actions had been anticipated by some.
