Chapter 792: Agent arms dealer!
Chapter 792: Agent arms dealer!
Xia Zheng's words plunged the meeting room into silence.
Those present are all ministerial-level officials. How could they not know how to resolve the crisis brought about by this wave of additional tariffs as quickly and effectively as possible?
But knowing is one thing, but implementing and solving the problem is quite difficult.
Not to mention anything else, just in the past two years, how many speculators have made illegal profits from the national subsidy policy adopted by the country in order to stimulate domestic demand?
This is still a small example. In other large-scale engineering projects and people's livelihood projects, those people try every means to seek personal gain for themselves.
and so……
In the name of the country, subsidies are distributed to the people, but in the end, can the money really end up in the pockets of the people?
Xia Zheng did not continue speaking, the head of state already understood what he meant.
"What do you think, Minister Xia?"
Since the other party has raised these difficult questions on his own initiative, he must have his own opinions and suggestions.
The leader took advantage of the situation and asked.
Xia Zheng smiled bitterly.
"Your Excellency, I am too kind to say that I have a profound opinion, but I just have some thoughts in my mind."
"But it doesn't matter!"
The Führer gestured with his hand.
Xia Zheng: "If domestic demand cannot be stimulated, then we should turn our attention to the global market."
"For ordinary goods, the previous policy will continue."
"But we should not limit ourselves to these products. We should also increase the output of some special products."
"For example?" asked Foreign Minister Wang Zhigang.
"For example... munitions!"
Xia Zheng lowered his eyelids and spoke in a deep voice.
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the ministerial officials present changed.
arms!
This is truly a special item.
It is also a highly profitable product!
However, Longguo has always maintained a conservative attitude towards arms sales abroad.
Only in the past two years have they loosened their grip a little and increased arms sales.
even so.
The amount of Longguo's arms sales abroad is still very low.
Relatively speaking, the United States' arms sales abroad are dozens of times more than that of the Dragon Country.
Wang Zhigang thought for a while and then spoke.
"Minister Xia, selling arms overseas is indeed a good direction."
"But it is difficult to export on a large scale."
"I'm afraid this is inappropriate!"
Although Dragon Country's arms have gradually emerged on the world stage in recent years, only a few countries are truly willing to purchase them.
Firstly, the inherent impression makes many countries only recognize products from the United States.
Secondly, it is the tyranny of the United States that forces them to buy arms from the United States.
Xia Zheng seemed to have thought of this a long time ago.
“Selling arms is not just about selling large military equipment.”
"Miniaturized, individual weapon equipment is also a good sales direction."
"After all, in recent years, due to various regional conflicts and contradictions, local wars have intensified."
"Large equipment is not suitable for these battlefields. Instead, individual weapons and equipment and small equipment are quite popular."
"Why don't we delve deeper into these areas and open up a market that belongs to Dragon Country."
"For example, our drones and infantry fighting vehicles, when deployed on these battlefields, are simply a great help to certain forces."
"And these military equipment happen to be our strengths!"
As the international situation worsens, the United States has once again wielded the tariff stick, making the world suffer.
Even if this powder keg does not ignite, it will ignite other "flammable materials".
Therefore, for a long time in the future, Blue Planet will only be more chaotic than it is now.
As the top three permanent members of the UN Security Council, Dragon Country, Eagle Sauce Country and Bear Country naturally do not want their homeland to become a battlefield.
That would only allow other countries or regions to become agents and launch small-scale wars and conflicts.
In this situation.
The demand for arms will only remain high!
Xia Zheng's words made the leader fall into deep thought.
He has considered selling arms abroad.
But there has never been a suitable reason or person.
If Longguo is honest and sells arms to countries where wars and conflicts are occurring.
Then all the positive publicity done by the Long government in the international community will be wasted and all efforts will be in vain.
After a long while, the leader looked at everyone present and asked.
"What do you think of this proposal?"
The ministerial-level officials thought seriously, some nodded and some frowned.
It is obvious that their attitudes towards the proposal of selling arms abroad are different and controversial.
See this.
Xia Zheng added another sentence.
"I know everyone has concerns and worries, but the reality is that if we don't do this business, someone else will."
"If we don't eat this cake, someone will open their mouth and stuff it in."
"If that's the case, why should we give it to others?"
"Also, regarding the agent for arms sales, I have a very suitable candidate to recommend!"
The Führer was curious.
"Minister Xia, who do you recommend?"
"Li Yang!"
Xia Zheng directly said the name.
Hear the words.
Including the head of state, the expressions of many ministerial officials changed.
The leader simply waved his hand in denial.
"no!"
"Li Yang is a rare young genius in our Dragon Country, and arms sales is a dangerous project that walks a tightrope. We must not let him take risks!"
"I disagree!"
The head of state was firm in his attitude and there was no room for negotiation.
Other ministerial officials also spoke up.
"What the President said makes sense. Comrade Li Yang's contribution to our country is clear to everyone. We should protect him well and give him enough safe and private space to concentrate on his research. We should leave such dangerous things to others!"
"Minister Xia, are you trying to push Comrade Li Yang into the fire?"
"We can stop selling arms, but we cannot lose Comrade Li Yang!"
"If it weren't for Comrade Li Yang, we would have suffered great humiliation during the last extraterritorial asteroid crisis!"
"..."
On this proposal, the opinions of the ministerial officials were very unanimous, and they all rejected Xia Zheng's suggestion.
There are many people in Longguo who are suitable for this position, except Li Yang, who is absolutely not suitable!
Faced with the head of state's denial and other people's doubts, Xia Zheng was not angry.
After they had all finished speaking, he continued.
"Prime Minister, and everyone else, you have all misunderstood my true meaning!"
"I recommended Comrade Li Yang not to let him contact those arms bosses directly, but just to let him act as the agent for the sale of Longguo's arms abroad!"
"As for external connection, it will naturally be assigned to other people."
"I think this way. Mr. Li's fishing power covers a wide range, from large coast guard ships to small drones. Isn't it just right for him to sell these small military equipment?"
"Moreover, we provided very little help to Comrade Li Yang. He did many projects and engineering by himself, and he rarely used our help."
"Letting him handle this foreign arms sales project is another form of compensation!"
"What do you think, Führer?"
