Once Roland Dima may be suspected of accepting bribes from arms dealers in the Lafayette frigate's arms sale incident, it caused an explosive effect in French politics.

The turning point of this matter was completed in a very short time, especially when Roland Dima, who strongly opposed arms sales to Taiwan, became the most powerful supporter of arms sales overnight. It would be absolutely impossible to say that there is no insider.

However, this matter was completed very quickly at that time. Before everyone could react, the arms sales to Taiwan were completed. Therefore, they did not have time to think about it carefully. They just saw that France had received a lot of money from it, so no one raised any objections to it.

But now it is different. The government has changed. The interests damaged in the arms sales incident are also very annoyed by the original perpetrators, hoping to get Roland Dima off the stage. Ordinary people also hope to see the excitement. The combination of various factors has caused a strong social opinion, requiring Roland Dima to resign and intervene with the judicial system to investigate whether there is corruption in this incident as rumored in the media.

The beneficiaries of the military purchase of the Lafayette frigate were also a very large group. The high bribes of more than 500 million US dollars were divided up by them. At this time, they naturally had to jump out or hide in the dark to protect Roland Dima and other people involved in the case, in case they fell down and involved themselves.

Fan Wubing, who was in Paris, immediately felt this strong atmosphere of struggle.

At this critical moment, Elf's second boss, Silar, actually ran away!

"This idiot! Isn't it equivalent to accepting the claim now? Roland Dima will feel very passive-" Fan Wubing said to his subordinate Dolby after watching the TV news report.

If Paris is just an investigation into anti-corruption issues and does not raise the entire incident to a political level, then Taiwan has already affected the life and death of many people.

It was through the promotion of French media that the people realized that the ship they bought after spending so much money was flawed, and the purchase price was even more expensive. Ah Bian and others fanned the flames below and strongly demanded to investigate the truth of the matter.

Under pressure, Lee Teng-hui had to ask the judicial department to conduct a thorough investigation into this matter.

However, before he communicated with his superiors, he was found dead on the sea before he could communicate with his superiors. All the relevant information was missing. At the same time, many important generals in the navy died mysteriously. Finally, this information appeared in the hands of Ah Bian and became a bombshell attack on the Taiwan authorities.

Vice Minister Jiao’s negotiations were easier. France urgently hoped that the two sides could reach an agreement as soon as possible, but he was not in a hurry now because he found that delaying time would be very beneficial to his work. As expected, the situation was as Fan Wubing said, the French needed some political achievements too much!

Then it was revealed that French Foreign Minister Roland Dima might have received 30 million US dollars in commercial bribes from the arms sales incident and was involved by several senior Republic officials. At this time, once the specific list was announced, the French political situation would be destroyed in pieces.

The senior executives of Airbus can no longer sit still. Looking at the current situation, it is difficult for them to guarantee that the Chinese will sit here with peace of mind and sign the aircraft purchase contract slowly. The situation in Paris is too chaotic, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is even more messy. Airbus believes that it cannot wait for the results of the negotiations to come out, but instead wants to win the orders by itself.

Just like last year, when China-France relations were bad, they still survived orders from China-France Airlines and Northwest Airlines, although the number was smaller.

Therefore, Airbus' vice president, Jean Rebir, visited Fan Wubing in person, saying that the two sides could have relatively in-depth exchanges.

"Mr. Fan, we think business is business and should not be linked to politics." Jean Biger said to Fan Wubing.

Fan Wubing was not afraid of talking nonsense with him, so he replied, "I also think business should not be linked to politics. So, I need a few aerial early warning aircraft. Can your company sell me a few?"

The air early warning aircraft integrates command, control, communication and intelligence, and is known as the air leader. In the late World War II, the US Navy used warning radars to install warning radars on carrier-based aircraft to create the world's first carrier-based early warning aircraft.

Later, the United States, the former Soviet Union and other countries developed a new generation of early warning aircraft using advanced airborne electronic equipment. Its airborne radar has good downward vision capabilities, which can not only detect low-altitude targets, but also detect ground and sea targets. The aircraft is also equipped with equipment such as enemy identification, intelligence processing, command and control, communication and navigation, and electronic confrontation, so that it can not only timely detect and monitor air invasion targets, but also command and guide its own fighter jets to intercept and attack, becoming an indispensable air warning command and control center on the battlefield under information conditions.

During the Gulf War, thousands of aircraft from countries around the world flew more than 100,000 times, and no major collisions or accidental injuries occurred. It was entirely up to more than ten early warning aircraft to work tirelessly. Early warning aircraft can be said to be a multiplier for the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the air force. In modern warfare, large-scale air combat without early warning aircraft is unimaginable.

However, this technology is blocked against the Chinese, and Americans cannot sell this thing to China. Even some countries with the ability to produce early warning aircraft, such as Russia, the United Kingdom, Israel, etc., are threatened by the Americans to prohibit air early warning aircraft from being sold to the Chinese.

Fan Wubing said this simply because he was just a dilemma for Biger.

Biger replied a little embarrassedly, "If our company produces air early warning aircraft, I would be happy to sell you a few. Unfortunately, France's air early warning aircraft were also purchased from Americans, and the e-3 series produced by Boeing."

Fan Wubing certainly knew that the French also bought American early warning aircraft. This was just for the sake of making trouble, so he smiled and said, "Look, it's not that I don't take care of your business, but that your products are too small and cannot be formed in scale."

"But our passenger aircraft has excellent quality, and the medium-sized passenger aircraft technically surpasses Boeing's passenger aircraft!" Biger made Fan Wubing's loud and loud guarantee to Fan Wubing that his Airbus A-340 series passenger aircraft could fully meet Fan Wubing's needs.

"However, we have also noticed that Boeing's passenger planes seem to be better than your Airbus' passenger planes in terms of safety performance." Fan Wubing immediately pointed out one of the disadvantages of the Airbus passenger planes.

"Oh, Mr. Fan, you should consider it comprehensively, rather than compare one-sidedly." Jean Biger replied.

The two of them talked for a while, and they were all practicing Tai Chi. They had a lot of useless words, just sticking to their bottom line without giving in. At this time, Sanchez walked in and said to Fan Wubing, "Boss, Mr. Maximos, senior vice president of Boeing, has arrived at Charles de Gaulle International Airport and is now asking about your location?"

"Maximos? What did he do? When did he become a Boeing company again? Isn't he a Hughes company?" Fan Wubing looked at Sanchez with some confusion, but he looked confused, so Fan Wubing said, "Okay, answer his phone number and I'll talk a few times."

"Hi! Chinese style, I really miss you!" As soon as I answered the phone, I heard the enthusiastic emphasis of the old Jewish man.

After responding to a few words, Fan Wubing asked curiously, "When did you change jobs to Boeing?"

After the old man explained it, Fan Wubing understood the story. It turned out that Boeing had acquired Hughes at this time, so the old man transformed into a senior executive of Boeing. He had a wide connection and a flexible mind. He successfully sold four satellites to the Chinese and some other small things. Therefore, the board of directors appointed him as the senior vice president of Boeing to develop the Chinese and Southeast Asian markets.

"Okay, I'm at George V Hotel, the occupancy rate here is not high, so you might as well stay here." Fan Wubing suggested to Maximos.

"Okay, we will meet in half an hour and have a detailed discussion." Maximos replied.

Fan Wubing put down the phone, then looked at Jean Biger with a suspicious look on his face, and smiled, "There are no choice, they are all friends. Now that I am the senior vice president of Boeing, I heard that I am in Paris, I have to come over and pull me to drink and celebrate. I really can't do anything to him."

Is it as simple as drinking?! Biger doesn't believe this statement! Boeing's senior vice president flew from the United States to Paris. Was it just to pull Fan Wubing to drink? No! This is absolutely impossible!

Biger immediately felt a huge crisis. Perhaps the news that the Chinese were preparing to purchase Airbus aircraft leaked out. Now Boeing also wants to make a fuss!

But Biger could not say anything to Fan Wubing about this. When he left, he saw Maximos and his team stop at the gate of the George V Hotel. Looking at the lineup, it was definitely the size of a business delegation, and it was definitely not as simple as drinking!

Could it be that it is because the French arms sales to Taiwan that affected the interests of the Americans, and they are going to come and regain their face at this time? Biger speculated in his heart that there may be such a possibility. After all, Boeing's position in the passenger aircraft manufacturing industry is also very important, and they are fully capable of stealing Airbus' orders.

Moreover, it seems that this senior vice president named Maximos has a good personal relationship with Fan Wubing.
