The next day was the formal talks. Liu Jinpeng's impression of the foreign affairs talks was very simple. It was the kind of person sitting in the magnificent hall on TV. The leaders of the two countries had to rely on interpreters to talk to each other. The escorts sitting next to them all pretended to listen patiently. This was all his impression. In fact, starting from today's welcome ceremony, it was everywhere that this was an informal visit.

First of all, according to the accompanying foreign affairs officials, the formal welcome must be led by police cars, while the informal ones are only ordinary bulletproof cars. Moreover, there is also a grand welcome team for formal visits, at least a sea of ​​flowers must be lined up, and at least a few rows of flower pots must be placed on the street. Informal visits must be more low-key, and the welcome convoy does not detour, so they go directly to the State Guest Banquet Hall.

Although the name of this place is called the banquet hall, it is actually a reception for visiting state guests. It is located on the side of the Egyptian royal palace. Entering from the main entrance, you will get there after a long way. Liu Jinpeng found that a soldier in a military dress stood every ten meters along the way, and the convoy would salute him when passing by.

The welcome convoy arrived at the banquet hall and stopped in the square in front of the hall. The red carpet was laid outside. Flower pots were placed on both sides of the carpet, and there were various seasonal flowers inside. Egyptian king Mohammed and Prince Said were both standing outside, followed by a large group of people. The group was almost clearly distinguished. The one on the left was wearing traditional robes, who should be members of the royal family, while the most on the right were suits and ties, which should be government officials.

Li Xiwen's guard got out of the car first and then came over to open the car door for her. Li Xiwen wore traditional Chinese costumes today, but it was not as complicated as the big gifts. After modification, this modern Hanfu was not as long as the corners of the skirt that had grown to the floor as before, but it also completely covered the feet. The head was a carefully combed bun, and a stroll was inserted as a decoration.

For weather reasons, Liu Jinpeng originally said that he would wear something simple, because the sun was really scorching in June in Egypt, but Li Xiwen wanted to represent the empire and obviously could not decide what to wear, so she could only wear such thick clothes according to etiquette. Liu Jinpeng could have worn it casually, but since he wanted to accompany him to attend, the styles of the two must be similar. So he took the initiative to wear Hanfu and suffer with the princess.

When the two sides met, they first exchanged greetings, and then Prince Said accompanied Li Xiwen to the banquet hall. Because it was an informal visit, they were exempted from reviewing the guard of honor. Due to the gap in strength and status between the Han Empire and the Kingdom of Egypt, the King of Mohammed came to greet him in person. But for the principle of reciprocity, the candidates for accompanying him must be Prince Said. Women in Arab countries have no status, so Tiya is not qualified to come out to accompany the guests. Even if the other party is a princess.

After entering the banquet hall, Liu Jinpeng was happy to find that there was a large air conditioner here, and he didn't feel hot when wearing Hanfu. It was obvious that the other party was very considerate. The two sides sat down with the host and guest. Sure enough, Liu Jinpeng had seen the same attitude as he had seen on TV. However, he is now at the last place in the Han Empire, even further behind the attendant of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The translator for Li Xiwen was Mo Xiaohong, and the other party was a dark-skinned woman.

In fact, Said himself can speak Chinese, and Li Xiwen can also speak simple Arabic. However, this is a state meeting. Even if you understand, you have to wait until the translation is completed before answering. It is said that it is to leave time for yourself to think, and there is also a meaning to maintain the national system. At this time, it is good to have a translator. You can understand what the other party says first, and you can think about countermeasures when you are translating.

Liu Jinpeng had Yiti as a translator and sent it to the air headset through his watch. Of course, he could understand Arabic. Prince Said first reviewed the friendship between China and Egypt, and emphasized that both countries are millennium-year-old countries, regardless of the facts. Li Xiwen recalled some interesting things when the two countries established diplomatic relations. In short, both sides are very polite for the time being.

Liu Jinpeng was just a little bored when he suddenly heard Said say: "In order to promote deep exchanges between Egypt and China and military mutual trust, I suggest that at the appropriate time, we two sides can hold a joint exercise, from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, there are still many optional locations."

This is something that has been agreed upon a long time, and Li Xiwen of course agreed: "This is absolutely OK. I have always prepared a lot. If you agree, you can start this joint exercise next month. We can discuss the specific details."

Of course, Prince Said had to agree. All of these were discussed in Pingjing, and the only thing that was not discussed was the details of the exercise. He said happily: "Of course, I agree with your opinion. The Egyptian military is also prepared at all times. I suggest setting the time at the beginning of next month. What about your Highness, what about you?"

Li Xiwen agreed to this time period and added: "The aircraft carrier formation set off from my country at the end of this month and can arrive at the Red Sea in early July. There are so many ships in the port of Aden. I don't know if Egypt is prepared." Aden is still in the hands of the Han Empire and has become the most important port for the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean.

Said said that he could dock the coast of Sharm El Sheikh, and of course the aircraft carrier formation would not enter Aqaba, so he naturally did not mention it. This kind of meeting was all about major events, so Li Xiwen also condemned certain terrorist acts, which was the proper meaning of the question. Said of course had to condemn it in unison, and also expressed his hope that the Han Empire could lend a helping hand again to help Egypt rebuild the oil refinery.

Li Xiwen expressed her agreement in principle, but the details have to be discussed again. These are all matters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The talks lasted for 42 minutes, and both sides expressed satisfaction. In the joint statement issued after the meeting, Egypt once again recognized the ownership of the Han Empire over overseas territories, including Aden and Siberia and other disputed areas. The Han Empire also stated that it would conduct a joint military exercise in the near future, with the aim of strengthening counter-terrorism to fight the increasingly deteriorating counter-terrorism situation.

Although the joint statement emphasized that the exercise was not targeted at any country, all the surrounding countries were trembling. A group of small animals lived a good life, and suddenly one of them couldn't think of it and attracted a big tiger. If the animals were not afraid, there would be ghosts. Saudi Arabia is an ally of the United States in the Middle East, and immediately opposed Egypt's exercise, and said that the Arab world does not need the intervention of Eastern giants.

Since Saudi Arabia made its first statement, there have been several people who couldn't understand the direction of the wind to follow the trend. For example, Assyrian, etc., but most countries remain silent. It is really a matter of jumping out to offend the Han Empire. They have no benefit and are harmed. Who has no brains to fight against the Han Empire? They have no support behind them. Anyway, protest is protest, and joint military exercises are still going to be done. It is better to find a way to get some benefits.

Egypt's behavior of strengthening its military power will definitely stimulate the surrounding countries. Not to mention those Libya, which are not in the eyes, even the sultanates, which also have good relations with the Han Empire, were envious, but what should they do if their navy is very weak? This is not difficult for some politicians. They even negotiated with the Han Empire with a whim and wanted to buy an active or nearly retired ship.

In this way, the Sultanate had an excuse to participate in joint military exercises, and paid for a ship to buy not only flatter the Han Empire, but also relieved its own military spending pressure, and reminded its neighbor Egypt. I am also reliable. It is indeed a good plan for the Imperial Navy. This kind of thing is definitely a good thing for the Imperial Navy. It is a renovated ship after renovating it and not only can it recover military spending, but it can also buy a better new ship with this. It is so beautiful.

And the important point is that the Imperial Navy cherishes its ship very much and says it is about to retire. In fact, it is mainly because of the backward technical equipment. Its maintenance level is really high and it can be used for decades. However, the Sultanate is not Kaizi. They require that a technical transformation be carried out while buying a ship, at least it must be at the advanced level in the world, that is, it must reach the level at the end of the last century.

As soon as this condition was raised, He Feihu immediately started to think about unloading the naval guns of the new cruiser. The key is that in these shore gun tests, the electromagnetic guns performed stably, with fast initial speed and straight ballistics, almost all the way to hit them. The old marshal now wants to take the opportunity to sell a naval gun and then replace it with an electromagnetic gun. After all, the navy is still playing with ships, and it is useful to just test the shore guns.

However, the equipment department disagreed with this requirement. They asked to go two lines, one was to launch new cannons or unload old cannons, and the other was to use electromagnetic cannons to board the ship. Both sides did not interfere with each other, and they were not allowed to grab the beard and eyebrows. Marshal He had no choice but to build a cargo ship, and after modification, they installed a 90mm electromagnetic cannon to try what it tasted like to be mobile shooting at sea.

Liu Jinpeng just knew about this. Now that the official meeting has been completed, the next step is to let the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs come on, and they have to discuss the details with each other. Liu Jinpeng answered a few calls and turned off the phone as required before entering. Now it keeps ringing as soon as the computer is turned on. He Feihu didn't call him in person, but General An Minghui of the Navy Equipment Department came to inform him that since he bought the electromagnetic cannon, the Navy has been ventilated more frequently.

In fact, An Minghui called and wanted to ask about the drone by the way. He said: "Mr. Liu, the drone test results are very good. The only disadvantage is the maximum flight speed. The other indicators are much larger than our expectations. What I want to ask is, can this technology be applied to humans?"

Sure enough, Liu Jinpeng knew that once the drone was sent to the test, they would definitely ask such questions. He was ready and replied calmly: "Of course, but we don't have a large wind tunnel. You also know that this kind of building is not something we can do, so we don't plan to do anything else in the near future."

An Minghui also felt deeply regretful, but he was more concerned about the technology on drones, especially electronics, communication equipment and anti-gravity engines. If it can be installed on manned aircraft, it should be able to improve a lot of combat effectiveness. Liu Jinpeng dispelled his idea in one sentence: "General Minghui, if you can convince the Aerospace Industry Group, then I am not afraid of cooperating with them, but I am afraid that others will not use my technology. Then I can't blame me for being unlucky."

The Aerospace Industry Group is another giant of the Han Empire. Most of the military or commercial satellites used in China are sent to the sky by this group's rockets. At present, this group can rank in the top three in the international aerospace field, and there is no problem in maintaining the second and the first one. Such a giant will definitely not look down on cooperation with the small Titanium Star Group. Maybe they want to buy technology to make it themselves, but Liu Jinpeng doesn't want to sell it.
