It¡¯s no wonder that Evans is so angry. Just a month ago, the Zeus-3 drone, which is the main product of ACT, began to be delivered. It stands to reason that the intended order will be received in mid-May and the delivery will begin in September. This speed is not slow. .
¡°But the BBC in the UK seized on this incident and criticized ACT Aerospace Systems for its low production efficiency and insufficient production capacity, which seriously affected the urgent need for nuclear protection in European countries.
Immediately, French and Spanish media began to reprint it, and soon a moderate wave of public opinion was formed.
However, neither Evans nor Owen cared about it at the time. After all, in Europe, if a company is not picked out by the media and scolded, it will be too embarrassed to go out and say hello to people, so it was caught by the British BBC doing things related to production capacity. Making a fuss is no big deal to the two of them.
¡°Anyway, I have already started delivering Zeus-3. BBC is just a noisy pug. As long as you ignore him, what will happen no matter how ferociously he barks?
What the two of them didn¡¯t expect was that one day, something like a pug really opened its mouth and bit down on the neck of Actor Aviation Systems.
That was half a month ago. In the evening, the British BBC suddenly broadcast an interview recording that looked like a tainted witness on their prime political program.
An anonymous internal employee who claimed to be from the German Activist Aeronautical Systems Company revealed to the BBC that the Zeus-3 UAV system produced by the Activist Company had serious quality problems. In the spirit of being responsible to the European people, he himself went through repeated ideological struggles. , finally decided to stand up and expose the dirty tricks of the activist company, as a whistleblower who woke up European countries.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately shocked the whole of Europe, and the BBC seized on this news breaking point and continued to dig into it. Soon, more shocking news was revealed by the BBC.
The Zeus-3 UAV system of Actor Aerospace Systems is actually an assembled product, and most of its components are low- to mid-range and cheap components.
In order to solve the problem of production capacity, Actor Company even entered into a joint venture with an unknown model factory in a large Eastern country.
That model factory in a large country in the East has a bad record. The models it produces as its main business are not only poorly made but of poor quality. It even falsely claims to be entering the field of small power generation equipment. As a result, the poor quality has caused extremely serious losses in a large country in the East. It has now been sold by a certain company in the East. The governments of major powers ordered investigations.
The BBC found several Hong Kong and Taiwan businessmen who have close relations with a large Eastern country. They revealed that the model factory in a large Eastern country that is a joint venture with activists is the worst enterprise they have ever seen because they imported products from that company. The small power generation equipment cannot be used at all, it is just a pile of scrap metal.
All in all, after some operations by the BBC, Actor Aviation Systems is not only an irresponsible and black-hearted company, but in order to make excess profits, it does not hesitate to lose the bottom line of European companies and find a bad company with no experience as its partner. Partners.
Let¡¯s not talk about how many European jobs have been affected by Activist¡¯s actions, but the country it chose is very problematic. A large country in the East, a backward country that may still have braids, cannot even manufacture a small power generation equipment. No, what kind of spare parts do you expect them to provide?
Who would dare to use such a Zeus-3 unmanned aerial vehicle system?
A series of BBC reports instantly ignited public opinion in Europe and was reprinted by major media outlets. Taking advantage of this storm of public opinion, France's Dassault Company immediately announced that their latest long-endurance aircraft fully adopts European technology. The drone, CNS-1, is about to enter the trial flight test phase.
The key point is not testing, but the complete adoption of European technology. This is another angle in which the company's Zeus-3 drone is severely trampled.
Soon after, British Aerospace Corporation¡¯s Anglo-4 drone also announced that it was ready for test flights, and emphasized in the statement that all their drone accessories come from European suppliers.
Sweden's Viking-3 and Italy's Gladiator-6 also announced that they have entered the trial verification stage. Even Turkey, which is disliked by Europe, also intervened and said that its independently developed Identifier-2 is progressing smoothly. .
In the blink of an eye, drones in Europe have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, making it as if they would not be able to gain a foothold in Europe without them.
As for the so-called European unity before, it has long been turned into a joke by the cold reality.
There is no other way, Europe is like this, union or something is really a helpless and helpless move, as long as there is something that can be done by oneself, everyone is guaranteed to make a mess.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The last three generations in each country are all people whose ancestors have been rich. Real airplanes can¡¯t fly on their own, so why can¡¯t we try drones? Even the Federal Republic of Germany can come up with something, why can¡¯t we?
Yes, the Federal Republic of Germany can make drones, so it must not be difficult.
This conclusion has almost become the consensus of all European countries. The reason for this judgment is very simple. Although Germany's industry is very developed, as a defeated country in World War II, its industry was still subject to many restrictions by the victorious countries. The most typical point is It was the German aviation industry that was almost fundamentally castrated by several victorious countries.
Therefore, Germany can build a variety of mechanical equipment, but it has almost no achievements in the field of aviation.
"As a result, such a country with no achievements actually cultivated a company like Actor, and relied on Zeus-3 to defeat similar products from the United States, which is known as the leading aviation power.
It¡¯s okay to resist the infiltration of American aviation giants, but once the external pressure is lifted, small powers like Britain and France, which are known as the second echelon of the aviation industry, are a little embarrassed. First they jointly put pressure on Germany, and then they feel helpless while doing it. It seems that the man-machine game is not difficult, and Britain and France have long disliked each other, so we might as well not get close to each other and just do our own thing.
With Britain and France taking the lead, Sweden, Italy, and Spain, which felt their foundation was not bad, naturally followed suit. As a result, European drones instantly became the standard equipment of various countries, and gradually appeared to be blooming everywhere.
That's it, that's it. However, the main contractors in these countries are trying to step on the Action Company, either covertly or covertly. They have no choice but to let them be at the forefront of this field. If they don't hinder you, they will stumble. son?
The most egregious one among them is the United Kingdom. Not only does British Aerospace target Activists at every turn, suppressing and slandering them in various ways, it also manipulates the BBC, a vicious dog, to bite them like crazy.
As a result, Actor Company suffered heavy losses in just half a month. Not only were half of its orders canceled, but it also had to lay off one-third of its employees in order to save expenses.
However, the most helpless thing for Evans and Owen is the Federal Government of Germany. Germany, known as the number one economy in Europe and the economic engine of the European Community, did not even dare to fart when its own companies were besieged by the crowd. There was no way to survive the war. Germany does not have an aviation industry in the international division of labor.
Now that Activists has opened an opening, the German government also wants to test the waters. If other countries don¡¯t respond, they will continue to develop. If the backlash is bigger, then they will continue to be stubborn. There is only one company in their control. I said decades ago The capital has been bombed to the ground, what does it matter if it is gone?
