Chapter 854: Persian Gate

Today Aunt Cindy prepared a quicksand bag for breakfast. Tan Zhenhua took a beautiful bite and felt its soft taste and rich aroma of wheat. At the same time, he picked up a stack of newspapers in the most comfortable position, unfolded, and started. A routine browsing.
Most of the recent political and economic news in newspapers revolved around the upcoming 50th presidential election of the United States. Tan Zhenhua has no interest in the content of these elections, because he knows that the current President Mr. Reagan will succeed in re-election without any suspense. Therefore, He just glanced over the headlines and threw them aside.
Until he turned to the "Washington Post" published today.
"Persian Gate-a huge scandal!"
This is the headline of their front page that the "Washington Post" depicts in a particularly strong font.
The font of the subtitle is not small—a case of arms smuggling worth $400 million! Macdonald Douglas and Grumman are suspected of smuggling important fighter parts to Ipos!
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The show has begun, he thought.
The article was very long. Tan Zhenhua took a while to read the whole article carefully and couldn't help but sigh-this Philip, what a wonderful job!
The article described in detail the entire process of the entire transaction-how the two companies got connected with Iposs through a third-party company, and how the smuggled parts and accessories were shipped to Mexico through the "Henry Regenerative Materials Processing Company" as industrial waste. Brother Si, how did you ship this batch of parts to Ibos in Mexico...
The process is detailed, the matter is clear, and cannot be denied!
He happily closed the newspaper and threw it aside, and called the temporary butler Kevin to say: "Go, take me to school."
Tan Zhenhua hummed a small song and walked into the classroom with a small schoolbag on his back, ignoring that the storm he had set off had completely messed up the whole country.
The first to bear the brunt is of course the FBI.
Early in the morning, Mr. Director was urgently called to the White House to report on the situation. The poor Mr. Director was still in the dark at this time, completely unaware of what happened, so of course President Reagan scolded him with blood. He was ordered to investigate immediately. Of course, the chain reaction that followed was that all relevant departments and personnel of the entire bureau were mobilized, divided into several groups, and pounced on McDonald Douglas and Grew. MAN Company, Henry Regenerative Asset Processing Company, New York Times Headquarters...
Then came the CIA, and the personnel stationed in Mexico and the Middle East were quickly mobilized to pursue the trace of the freighter in the report.
Even the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet stationed in the Persian Gulf has also raised its alert level. Two Charles Adams-class destroyers DDG-9 "Towers" and DDG-15 "Berkeley" that are on duty on combat readiness have been ordered. Ready to intercept and inspect a certain cargo ship at any time.
Although everyone knows that all this is in vain. The cargo ship has arrived at the destination and unloaded the cargo most of the time. However, what should be done is still to be done...
The most violent response was of course the securities market.
Although McDonnell Douglas has suspended trading and has not resumed trading so far, is Grumman still there, so the stock opened early in the morning, and hundreds of millions of selling orders suddenly poured in, instantly smashing Grumman's stock price by 20%. By many percentage points, the market value of billions has evaporated.
And the most painful is the two of Landry Grumman and James McDonald. They would never have thought of this seemingly secret transaction, and a huge sum of money just fell into their pockets. The FBI on the back foot came to the door.
As for the "loyal and honest" Mr. Henry, he said that he was a garbage collector and didn't know any aircraft parts. He would deal with whatever the customer paid him. He was completely innocent...
By the way, there is a guy who is very good at delivering letters. At this moment, he is leisurely basking in the hot sun on a beach in the Mediterranean, and he is holding a crush that is hotter than the sun. This time, the boss not only gave him a lot of money. The money also gave him a long vacation, keeping him away from the United States during this time, and he intends to take this opportunity to enjoy his life...
Of course there are also ecstatic people.
For example, Colonel Kiyanush Jalari—oh, he should not be called Brigadier General Jalari now.
Having completed the task and returned to China, he was exceptionally improved because of his outstanding performance this time, and the three stars on his shoulders were finally replaced with a scimitar wheat ear pattern.
There is also an unsurprisingly shiny Republic Medal!
Although Yibos paid a huge sum of US$600 million for this batch of accessories, everyone believed that the money was well spent!
Because Ipos finally got a large number of F-4 and F-14 fighter accessories that they dreamed of. This batch of accessories greatly alleviated the already stretched inventory pressure of the Air Force. Dozens of aircraft will be lying in the hangar or have become " "Organ Donor" fighter can return to the blue sky!
This has greatly strengthened the air power of Iperos, and will surely tilt the balance of victory in the "Iraq-Iraq War" to our side!
If Huaxia can really solve the engine problems of these two fighters, Brigadier General Jalari believes that he may go further!
And this also proved another thing: Yibos insisted on making good relations with China, and it was worthwhile to get Eric Tan's friendship.
Eric Tan is really a trustworthy friend who does what he says.
Of course, there are other people who fell into a very emotional and conflicted state of mind after learning this news.
On the one hand, their long-standing plan to kill McDonnell Douglas and divide it will finally succeed. There is no doubt that as the scandal was revealed, McDonnell Douglas lost the last glimmer of hope for a comeback. Someone covered it. The coffin board was removed and the last nail was nailed. This was of course a happy result for them. They had been preparing knives and forks for a long time, and now, the food was finally on the table.
On the other hand, there is also an inexplicable feeling of loss entrenched in their hearts-the Eric Tan who planned and connected all of this, after they consciously excluded him from the interest of sharing the largest cake. After they all thought that he would be content with the petty gains in the stock market, he made a bold move at the last minute.
And once it shot, it gave the lingering McDonnell Douglas last and most fatal blow.
It also destroyed the last hope of Grumman.
Both Jacob Rothschild and Skef Mellon clearly remember the words Eric Tan said after the 6.2 plane crash: "You can ask Mr. Skef not too much I have been worried that Grumman’s demise is doomed. Since I asked him to take action as soon as possible, of course I will not stand idly by."
Sure enough, he didn't stand by.
Although there is no clear evidence to prove that Tan Zhenhua did this thing, the act of attacking both McDonnell Douglas and Grumman at the same time is still imaginative.
"The beast finally awakened." Jacob Rothschild sighed.
"If possible, I hope I will never be his enemy." Skeff Mellon said.
