No one thought that the Italian media would be a blockbuster if it didn't make a sound. He dared to ask any question, and it can be said that the question has been thrown to Ustinov at this time. All want to see how the Soviet General Armament Minister answered, after all, this is related to the peace and stability of the European continent.
As for Corriere della Sera journalists, why they asked this question, they have a direct relationship with the Ranieri family. In the field of flying saucers in the future, the competition will definitely be very fierce. The United States, the United Kingdom, and France have all entered, and these countries themselves are in the aerospace field; they are all stronger than Italy. But let them stop at this point, but they are not reconciled at all.
Italians have a strong sense of national pride. After all, because of the glorious history of the Roman Empire and the European Renaissance, the treasures left by their ancestors; so they have always had a strong but somewhat inexplicable sense of superiority. At the same time, Italians are extremely inefficient in doing things. For an extremely simple matter, they may have to run multiple departments, or run the same department many times, even when the language is completely fine.
In addition, Italians are actually very fragile at heart, so most of them bully the soft and fear the hard.
If it is normal, or when there is only one family, I will definitely not dare to provoke polar bears easily. But now it is the Paris Air Show, so many people are watching, it is estimated that the Soviets dare not do anything to them. At this time, the Italians seem to have returned to 2,000 years ago, the ancient Roman period, and perhaps their hearts have become stronger in an instant.
Of course, the Italians have little confidence in themselves, although they know that the Soviets will definitely not give up the research and development of flying saucers. But not asking clearly, still not reconciled.
If the Soviets are intervening, should Italy still invest money in this area? I have no confidence at all. They are very clear that although domestic industrial production is not weak in technology, its efficiency is really unflattering. If you study fashion and food, Italians may be invincible. But when it comes to aerospace, it really doesn't have much confidence.
However, Italy was bent on seeking the status of a great power and did nothing at all; it was also very unwilling. In short, I was very conflicted in my heart, and before I even started, my mind was already very chaotic.
Little Ustinov said with a smile: "Thank you for the question from this reporter, but what I want to tell you is that there is currently no research and development plan for flight projects in the Soviet Union. Whether it will enter in the future, we will see if there are any. There is a real need. The Soviet aerospace industry has its own development plan."
"If you are unfamiliar with the project rashly, or it is unplanned, it will inevitably affect the established plan, which is not conducive to overall planning. Therefore, we cannot give you a clear answer in this regard. It depends on which stage of technological development to make a decision."
Hearing that the Soviet Union had no plans to develop flying saucers, everyone at the scene leaked incredible expressions. After all, during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, the two sides have always refused to give in to each other. The United States has developed advanced weapons and equipment, and the Soviet Union must have corresponding weapons. Not even a plane can be worse than you; not even one person less.
Both sides are competing with each other. Why is the Soviet Union now giving up on its own initiative? What is this operation?
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that with the economy of the Soviet Union, combined with the specific domestic situation, it is really difficult to play. At least there is not much capital investment, so it is better to give up voluntarily.
Moreover, the Soviet Union is a planned economy, and everything must be reported in advance. For the idea of unreported, Moscow will definitely not pass. Bao Zixuan is a businessman and is bound to discuss issues from a business perspective. This has nothing to do with the quality of the relationship, just the most basic rules of the game.
If the Soviet Union wants to introduce flying saucer technology from the Black Cloud Group, it also needs to pay a corresponding price of 5 billion US dollars. Although the Soviet military industry is very powerful this time, the domestic hole is not small; this amount of money can't do much for a big country.
Customers place an order, and it must be delivered on time. These all require costs, and the real profit is not much.
It is estimated that at most a few planes will be exchanged from the Black Cloud Group, so everything makes sense.
The Soviets are currently not working **** the flying saucer, although it is not necessarily credible; but it still makes the atmosphere of the scene more relaxed. Where is Lao Maozi's own strength? If all weapons and equipment are developed, it will not let people live.

At this moment, European reporters don't feel so disgusted when they look at Little Ustinov; if this kid knew, I don't know how he would feel.
In fact, he is also helpless. After all, Moscow has decided that it will not invest any money in the field of flying saucers in a short time. After all, the national economy is very difficult. If billions of dollars are invested at this time, it is not cost-effective to develop projects that do not see hope in a short period of time. But in the heart of Little Ustinov, he still hopes that the Soviet Union can intervene early, otherwise he may not even be able to drink soup in the end.
The strength of the Soviet military industry is very strong, but it can only be summed up in four words - stupid, big, simple and rough. Although the power is not small, but the precision, as well as the electronics; far behind the West. It should be developed through flying saucers to strengthen its own shortcomings. But even as the head of the General Armament Department, these are powerless and can only take one step at a time.
It is hoped that Moscow will attach great importance to it, so that with the technical strength of the Soviet Union in the aerospace field; there is still hope of catching up.
As another powerful country in the European military industry, Sweden is also one of those who make a fortune in silence. The R&D and production of weapons and equipment are absolutely at the advanced level in the world. Just because it is not in the most central part of the European continent, the family has a population of less than 10 million; therefore, its weight in Europe is not that important.
But no one dared to ignore their existence, so the face that should be given should still be given.
Founded in 1879, the Swedish Evening News is one of Sweden's largest circulation newspapers and is headquartered in Stockholm. 1.5 million copies are sold every day; it is very influential throughout the European continent.
The Paris Air Show is the most influential air show in the world; of course, all countries must send the most powerful news force, otherwise they will not be able to compete with other competitors.
The Swedish reporter asked: "Hello, Mr. Stillman! I'm a reporter from the Swedish Evening News; everyone knows that Boeing also has a military department. I wonder if Boeing will have related plans in the future after seeing the performance of the flying saucer!"
Sweden has decided to carry out research and development and production in the field of flying saucers. Therefore, of course, special attention should be paid to whether aerospace companies around the world will develop flying saucers.
Journalists during the Cold War all had espionage-related assignments. It's just that they need to use chat skills to complete the task, and it will not cause unnecessary misunderstandings. Moreover, being a journalist is itself a good cover; therefore, they have received special training on how to ask questions.
If Boeing does not enter the field of flying saucers, can it pull him down to the Swedish camp? Every country in the world has its own sources of information. The Black Cloud Group licensed the flying saucer technology to a new American company. The new company has a military background and even requires an exclusive license in the United States.
It makes it difficult for other American companies to enter the field of flying saucers unless they develop their own. At least through the black cloud road, there is no way to go. But it is completely possible to change the way of playing, that is, American companies; go abroad to develop flying saucers, or cooperate with foreign companies.
Boeing, whether it is technical strength; or economic strength; there is no shortcoming at all. Just ask such a partner, but you can't find it with a lantern.
Although we communicated with Bao Zixuan in advance, UU Kanshu Heiyun Group's flying saucer technology can be purchased with investment. There is also the support of the royal family, and Sweden's own economic strength is also good; but it is still very nervous to give out 5 billion US dollars all at once. It can even be said that they have been driven to a dead end, at least there is no way out.
Invest 5 billion US dollars and get nothing; then the Swedish Saab company is likely to go out of business. No one wants to see this kind of thing. Therefore, it is particularly important to have a strong partner. Boeing can not only help it share the financial pressure, but also provide technical and talent support.
I believe that there is really no problem at all in the production and improvement of the black cloud flying saucer by combining the two. You can even let Boeing take more shares. As long as the production base is built in Sweden, everything else can be negotiated.
It can be said that the Swedes have a good abacus, and the goal is very clear. If the plan is successful, it may really achieve unexpected results. It's just that we have to wait for Boeing's answer now, and there may be countless negotiations in the future.
