Chapter 1945： Arms demand

Going down from the castle, standing on the Kapit square in the evening, staring at the castle on the fortress hill, listening to the ancient bells ringing in your ears, as if time has frozen, as the saying goes, "If it was from the Baroque era The building, even if it is worn out, does not need to be repaired, so that it exists as a witness of time."

As the sun sets, in a more authentic Austrian restaurant, the Yang family sits on the outdoor seats without much arrogance. Next to the gurgling Salz River, there is the sound of the violin flowing in their ears. The guests who dine together are all Whispering in a low voice, no one broke the silence.

Until tonight's main course came up, when the sharp blade cut through the roasted crispy pork knuckle, the sound of the violin seemed to disappear suddenly.

This Austrian roast pork knuckle actually originated in Germany, but although the recipe is the same, the taste and texture are completely different.

Here we must praise the Austrian pigs, for fear that they will always listen to "boasting" and be unhappy.

The first-class Austrian pork is relatively simple and rough after the marinating is completed. There are not so many mile-grains, directly roasted, thick pork knuckles, and one-meter long ribs, paired with roast potatoes, each A kind of salad, after baking, will provide 2-3 kinds of exclusive sauces, at this time order a glass of pure Austrian beer, iced, not only to relieve greasiness, but also to quench thirst!

Some stores will sprinkle a layer of "slightly sweet" sauce on the grilled ribs, and then pair it with the tartar sauce on the plate, making it easy to get drunk without drinking.

The "popularity" of this dish in Austria, and even all the surrounding countries, is equivalent to a combination of mala and barbecue, delicious and delicious.

Roasted pork knuckle is crispier than the original German version, and the blade is scratched and clicked, not inferior to the beautiful sound of the violin.

There are eight people in a group of them. It is definitely not enough to eat this. To take care of the appetite of the elderly, Yang Cheng specially ordered local trout. Salzburg is mountainous and watery, and the beef and pork bred from the Alps are so good. It can't be bad.

Most of the fried fish in Austria is made of trout. The Austrian composer Schubert once wrote a piano quintet under the name of "Trout". Trout is found in Austria whether it is a food ingredient or culturally. "Indispensable" status~

Sitting by the river, surrounded by mountains, covered with clouds, and sparkling water, there are local fried fish from Salzburg on the plate, paired with organic salad, in order to neutralize the greasiness of the barbecue, paired with lemon and white wine, and the aroma remains on the teeth Memories are always in my heart!

After dinner, Alois rushed to Salzburg to meet Yang Cheng and the others, and then they rushed to Vienna overnight to prepare for the next day's itinerary.

Yang Cheng shared a car with Alois. On the way, Alois said, "I have asked someone to take a batch of information about the cafe. You can stop by and have a look when you are visiting tomorrow."

"Thank you, I am very grateful~"

"Small things, don't mind. Compared to this, if you can move the headquarters of Toyama Bank to Liechtenstein, I'm willing to help you buy half a cafe in Vienna~"

Yang Cheng laughed and said, "I will consider it seriously, Alois, I must admit that you are an excellent businessman and ZZ family~"

Alois smiled slightly, "If my father heard this evaluation, he would be very happy~"

After pondering for a moment, Alois said again, "I heard that you have been involved in the arms business recently?"

Yang Cheng adjusted his sitting posture. He felt that the meat show was about to come, "There is such a thing, why should Liechtenstein buy arms?"

"No, no, we don't need it, but Austria needs it. To be precise, they want to sell first and then buy."

Yang Cheng became interested, "tell me in detail?"

Alois laughed and said, "This matter has to start with Austria's purchase of the typhoon. In 2002, the Austrian ZF held a bidding. The typhoon defeated the F-16 and JAS-39 Gripen. The passenger company signed a contract of intent to purchase 18 aircraft.

The first aircraft was delivered in 2007.

However, in 2008, the Austrian Ministry of Supervision found that, in accordance with the contract signed in 2003, 18 Rafale 2 fighters were purchased at a price of 109 million euros, but the actual contract was a contract that was supplemented later. This contract was issued by Austria at the time. The Ministry of Defense Darapos signed the agreement to purchase 15 second-hand Rafale 1 "Typhoon" fighter jets of the Luftwaffe at a price of 114 million euros.

This became a major scandal in Austria at the time, but it seems that it is not difficult to explain. Airbus's production arrangements and the delivery time nodes required by Austria do not match.

Anyway, the final project was actually implemented. Austria announced in 2008 that their "Typhoon" forces had formed combat capabilities. However, Austrian prosecutors investigated the matter and believed that 100 million may be involved in this scandal. The corruption of the euro.

In 2014, due to the Austrian parliament’s restrictions on military budgets, the Austrian Air Force actually only trained 12 pilots to be qualified to fly Typhoon fighter jets.

The scandals in the past two years have continued to ferment, forcing the national fang department to have no choice. It will retire the Typhoon fighter jet in 2020, because this fighter needs 5 billion euros in maintenance expenses during its 30-year expected full life service period. , Austria ZF believes that the purchase of other types of aircraft can save 2 billion euros.

In order to avoid the recurrence of previous corruption, Austrian ZF decided to use the most direct commercial trade model with a third-party external relationship to purchase new second mobile phones or lease aircraft for use instead of directly contacting arms companies to purchase new aircraft.

I can tell you that the most likely model Austria will purchase is the JAS-39 Gripen or the American F-16 fighter jet. "

Yang Cheng peeled off the cocoon and quickly found the core, "So what I have to do is to sell 18 Rafales for Austria, oh no, it is a typhoon, and then buy the same number of Gripen fighters or F-16s~ "

Alois nodded, "That's right, among them, what I can help is to introduce you to the relevant department~"

"Of course, leave the rest to me~"

He hesitated for a while, "But you helped me so hard just to make me move the headquarters?"

Alois shrugged, "I am optimistic about the future development of Yuanshan Bank. If you are willing to release part of the equity, I am willing to take it. The price is up to you~"

Yang Orange smiled and didn't answer, they both knew it was impossible.

Yuanshan Bank is the foundation of the Yang family. Otherwise, it would not have spent such a great effort to do public relations in Switzerland. Liu Muqian spent hundreds of millions of dollars to go out for this purpose, so that Yuanshan Bank can successfully gain a foothold. Have the most solid backing.

"Don't talk about this, just talk about your thoughts? You have potential buyers, can you take over this batch of fighters?"

Yang Cheng said, "Don't worry about this, I have built a very complete channel, and there is no shortage of loyal users whether it is gust or typhoon, only 18, it is not difficult to sell, if it is not, just sell it!"

"Well, I don't understand this, so I won't make any suggestions. You will rest first when you arrive in Vienna, and have a good day tomorrow. I will arrange the meeting time the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, I will listen to your arrangements~"

For the next period of time, Yang Cheng didn’t say anything. He was thinking about whom to sell the aircraft to. In fact, it was not as easy as he said. Now the global economic environment is not good. He is able to buy 18 first-class fighters in one go. It is second-hand and there are only a handful of buyers.

Rich people don't need it, and those without money can't afford it, which is embarrassing.

After much deliberation, Indonesia is better to fool around. One is because their economic development situation in recent years is better. Like all Southeast Asian countries, the air force of this country is a "Wanguo brand". They already have second-hand F-16s sold by the United States at low prices. , There are also the Su-27 and Su-30 of the polar bear, but they are not many, and it is not a problem to join the mainstream fighters in Europe!

Besides, the 5 Su-27s and 11 Su-30s currently in service by the Indonesian Air Force are almost getting old and should be replaced, otherwise they are not worthy of their status as an ‘Indonesia’.

This has to be heard in the opposite direction. Like South Korea and Asan, this is a country that has no shit, that is, they are far away from the mainland, otherwise they would have been smashed.

However, I heard that the United States may recently impose sanctions on countries that purchase polar bear weapons. This is a point that can be used for negotiation. Yang Cheng wrote a small note in his heart.

. . .

Vienna is located between the northeastern foothills of the Alps and the northwestern part of the Vienna Basin. It is a city developed from the southern part of the Danube and now extends to both banks of the Danube. It is the intersection of the east-west Danube route and the north-south amber route.

Some people say that this is a gentle city, with the color and sentiment, the upper and the lower, the nobility and the common people, the sweetness and the joy, the whole character is ingeniously blended together, it uniquely exaggerates the leisure and appreciation of the Viennese life Art treasures and Yaxing talking about the purpose of life. U U Reading

For more people, Vienna, a city with music as its soul, seems to have a noble atmosphere in the air, reminding you of what life is.

As early as when the Romans laid the first cornerstone for the city's walls, they integrated the inclusive spirit of classical civilization with art into the blood of the Viennese people, making it one of the cultural centers of Europe.

The Viennese people will let you understand that the romance of behavior is just a superficial wave. The true romance is the shock of the soul, because all art is the result of soul romance. The simplest truth is that if a song cannot touch your heart , No matter how good it sounds, he is just a saliva song.

Vienna is an ancient city. In the distant ancient times, it was only a small village on the Danube with a very small population. In 15 BC, the Romans who ruled half of Europe included the present Austria on the map of Rome.

In order to consolidate the occupied land, the Roman colonists established many castles as settlements, one of which is called Widopona, which is the embryonic form of today's Vienna.
