In the summer of 196, Qi Yiming was paying attention to the progress of Base No. 4 in Afghanistan and dealing with issues related to his country's arms sales. There was another major event that tied his heart, that was the return of Macau.

In the original timeline, the Sino-Portugal Joint Statement should have been signed in 1987 and the contract was changed in early 1988, but the situation was a little bit different here. Because of the feud between China and the South China Sea and Britain, a big man sent troops directly tore up the signed Sino-British Joint Statement. Although China and Britain have stopped the war, the UK is still in an opposition to China's Hong Kong issue and does not recognize China's legitimate sovereignty over Hong Kong.

Because of the Hong Kong change, Portugal also had many doubts about Macau. Naturally, they said that they would not dare to negotiate the negotiations, because China has sent troops to Hong Kong. If China consumes China's patience, China will send troops to Macau again, and Portugal's face will not look good.

Originally, such as protecting Macau's prosperity and Portuguese culture, Portuguese Macau people could choose their own Chinese or Portuguese nationality. Macau's own political system does not have much problem, but on the date of sovereignty transfer, the two sides had relatively large differences. Portugal hoped that the sovereignty transfer would be transferred after the 21st century, while China insisted on completing this century.

Qi Yiming knew these things before traveling through time, otherwise the day when Macau returns would not be chosen on a special date that is about to enter the millennium. (Common sense complains that the first year of the 21 century is 201, and 206 is still the 2nd century, so Macau's return is more than a year away)

Hong Kong officially returned on July 1, 1987. Qi Yiming and the senior executives also lost too much patience to wait for the issue of Macau, especially now that Taiwan has been brought back, Macau is only 3.B square kilometers of land, the size of a town, Qi Yiming has no intention to delay it until after 1999. Because of his appearance, things will change a lot, and it will delay it so late, so it may change.

So Qi Yiming imitated Hong Kong and also advanced the Portuguese ten years ago. On February 2, 198, Macau's sovereignty had to be transferred.

Compared with Hong Kong and Taiwan, Qi Yiming has a better impression of Macau. This place is not big, but there are not so many brainless people. In fact, it is mainly related to the fact that the Portuguese did not bury nails here. Macau has the same close connection with the mainland. Most of the locals have a gentle personality than Hong Kong people.

The negotiations between China and Portugal were extremely difficult. Although Qi Yiming kept following up, he was very dissatisfied with the progress. If he continued to negotiate like this, he would definitely not meet his needs to get back Macau in a year. It was at this time that Qi Yiming went into battle and personally participated in the negotiations on the transfer of sovereignty.

"...I repeatedly reiterate our position on the recovery of Macau's sovereignty. The deadline is February 20 next year. One way or another, we will definitely get it." Qi Yiming has very little concern for a funny small country like Portugal. Even if you are a NATO person, my patience is limited. Small countries must have the awareness of being born to obey big countries. Is there any

As soon as these words came out of Qi Yiming's mouth, the Portuguese negotiators' faces became the same as their national flag - a burst of blue and a burst of red.

"Sir, are you threatening us? Portugal does not accept the threat, and we will never compromise with power." The Portuguese representative said pretending to be tough, and then he may feel that he was speaking too slowly, and added: "My government must be responsible for those who live here and are still Portuguese citizens."

Qi Yiming said seriously: "First of all, what I just said is not a threat, but a basic position of our country, a basic statement. As for how you want to interpret and understand it, it is your own problem. Secondly, I understand your attitude of being responsible for the people there. In fact, like you, we all hope that the people of Macau will be better and face this matter with a hundred times more responsible heart. It is precisely because of this that we hope to take back Macau as soon as possible."

The Portuguese representative protested: "But that's too fast, no matter whether it's political, economic, legal and other issues, there is no chance to arrange and deal with them."

"How to deal with it is our Chinese. Look at Hong Kong, there is no transitional period, and it is not a good life now. According to the latest polls in Hong Kong, Hong Kong people are more than 85% satisfied with the SAR and the new model. This shows that we Chinese people have the ability to handle their own problems well and do not need foreign friends to worry too much."

"Macau and Hong Kong are different. Your country's behavior of seizing Hong Kong by force is also a point that makes us feel worried."

Qi Yiming laughed and said, "Our force is aimed at colonists and invaders with ulterior motives. It is an illegal government that deceives and oppresses the people, not the people there."

The Portuguese representatives turned into national flag again.

Qi Yiming lowered his tone and said: "My country intends to develop friendly relations with Portugal. Although we uphold different ideologies, we have common ideas and are committed to maintaining stability, peace and stability in the world and region. Our country is willing to cooperate with Portugal in more areas, not just on the Macau issue. Well, in the field of security, Portugal is on the front line of Western Europe's resistance to Soviet hegemony. I think our country has the obligation to help Portugal defend its homeland."

He took out a piece of materials and handed them to the Portuguese representatives attending the meeting, saying: "This is a military aid plan I have drawn up, mainly including free gifts to your air force, Fl JF-10 fighter jets produced by China, 20 NIP infantry fighting vehicles, and 60 sets of avant-garde-individual air defense missiles. In addition, if your country is interested, our country is willing to provide Portuguese with an advanced frigate with a displacement of 60 tons at a low unit price of 200 million..."

The Portuguese representatives' faces turned blue this time, and they all turned red. They never expected that things would turn into this. The Chinese representative who was so tough that it was so tough that it was so uncomfortable that they actually smashed such a big pie for them. Just counting those things that are not expensive, it would be as much as $600 million. Portugal is a small Western European country with little military expenditure and many military equipment rely on NATO's aid program.

In recent years, China's weapons have gained many good reputations, such as strong and durable weapons, and are considered a good source of arms. Portugal really hopes to buy a new generation of fighter jets at this time, and the other plane is the "Peace Atlantis" plan. They purchased two American B6 fighters. Although the Fl Fl is slightly lighter than the B6, it really makes it possible for Portugal to use a small country with a land area of ​​only 20,000 square kilometers. The Fl Fl Fl Fl is enough to circumnavigate the border for several weeks.

Without mentioning the issue of combat effectiveness, just giving it for free will make people saliva. The price offered by Americans starts at least 100 million, and Chinese people don’t need money.

The Portuguese representatives looked at each other and were obviously moved by this proposal. But they also knew that the Chinese representatives could not just give such a military aid gift for nothing. This is a political exchange. If you want this military aid of up to 600 million US dollars, then you have to let go and return Macau within the designated date.

Qi Yiming looked at them and felt secretly happy. It was different to have money, goods and trump cards. Although he gave a lot of good things in one go, these things were just the shipment volume of his own bases a day. Apart from consuming some resources, he had no cost at all. Besides, this little cavalier in Portugal cannot have any direct conflict with China, and he did not give him any military equipment.

"It doesn't cost money to send equipment, but it doesn't cost money to raise equipment and buy weapons?" He learned this routine from the later generations of Emperor Puting. The emperor told Ah San, "I'm good to you and give you an aircraft carrier, but you have to buy carrier-based aircraft and modifications from me. Ah San agreed happily, and then they paid 200 million to $200 million.

Of course, there is one more advertisement. Not to mention advertising, you need to buy spare parts after buying fighter jets? Do you need to buy missiles for training and combat purposes? Do you need to buy bombs? After the overhaul period, it will cost money to return to the factory for modification and upgrading?

Although the money is not very big, it is also a lot of savings. What's more, Qi Yiming plans to exclude American equipment worldwide. It would be a victory for him to buy Fl or B6 if he buys more.

As for him to sell two E frigates to the Portuguese at a low price, although the unit price is lower than US$200 million, the shipyard definitely has its own profits. At least one-third of such a ship is pure profit. Who made the production cost of the Celestial Empire so low now? E0 is also the main foreign trade ship type, equipped with a 76mm naval gun, a 730 near-defense gun, a total of 3 medium-sized vertical launch units in front of B and rear 6, used to launch the Red Flag 7 or Hongqi-6 air defense missiles, two quad-mounted 82 anti-ship missile launch devices, and two dual-mounted 3m torpedo tubes. It has a stealth design, beautiful hull lines, and is equipped with a helicopter hangar and take-off and landing platform.

The reason why Qi Yiming mentioned the E0 ship is mainly because the Portuguese Navy recently bought the C200 frigate, but most of the ships in service are old ships from the 1960s and 1970s. They have not had a wealth of military expenditure. They will never miss such an opportunity to buy a frigate with great value.

Facts have proved that wealth is moving, and the Portuguese could not resist the temptation of sky-high military aid. They didn't know where to go for the so-called sense of responsibility to consider the well-being of Macau people. The two agreements were signed at the same time, but one was on the surface and the other was on the surface. Portugal agreed to return Macau's sovereignty in February of the following year, and China agreed to provide Portugal with a military aid worth $600 million, and everyone was happy in the end.
