Him and their stars

Claire pondered for a while, but still couldn't find any evidence, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "If you insist on using this design, I have no objection. But, on your side..."

"Don't worry, I've already discussed it with the National Defense Committee. Certain experimental modifications can be carried out. It's just a hangar anyway, not the engine and main gun. If there is a problem, it is easy to change it back."

Yu Lian didn't lie this time. This is indeed what he reported to Marshal Paris and Mr. Maxell, the Chairman of the National Defense Committee who just took office after the New Year.

Anyway, one of the two was an old chief and the other was an old principal, and they had a good relationship with each other, so they approved his request.

As for the president, of course he has no objections.

Yu Lian estimated that if a Type 1 assault craft hangar was used, the cost could be saved by at least nearly one billion. Moreover, even if something really goes wrong, Mr. President can let his affiliated companies be responsible for correcting it. Isn’t this just business?

Anyway, if something goes wrong, the first responsible party is his Yu Company, followed by the National Defense Commission and the Military Command Headquarters. It really cannot affect him, the great president.

"Okay, since it's the customer's opinion..." Krel glanced at the representative of the design bureau.

Okay, I have to work overtime again. The director sighed, but modifying the hangar was not a big job, it would only take an hour or two.

"Brother Krel, remember to pay everyone overtime pay." Yu Lian added.

"So why are you telling me?" Krell said loudly: "I have already said that I am an ordinary social instrument and have nothing to do with the design bureau."

The Polaris designers looked at Krell with sadness and anger. The latter couldn't help but trembled and lowered his voice: "We will discuss it when we go back... Okay, okay, I will discuss it with the board of directors, and I won't treat everyone badly. But first, let me explain that the directors of the design bureau and I really Just some personal relationships. Yes, personal relationships."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Yu Lian say again: "As for the plan for the main gun..."

"Wait a minute, didn't you just say that you only have opinions on the hangar plan?" Claire couldn't help shouting.

"I only said that I have no objections, not that the higher-ups have no objections." Yu Lian pointed to the sky: "To be honest, when it comes to the main gun plan, the National Defense Commission actually prefers your first model. So we still use it. How about the first one?”

The fists have won, the blood pressure is high, and the spirit of struggle is about to occupy the high ground!

The designers clenched their fists and almost wanted to rebel.

"Ah ha ha ha ha! I just think this line is cool. I have wanted to say it once for a long time. Don't worry, I have tried hard to convince them." Yu Lian smiled and said, "Then, I will use your version. Make a plan."

From Krell down, all alliance representatives breathed a huge sigh of relief.

At this time, Yu Lian smiled again: "However, since the hangar has been changed, do I need to redo the budget? I have to report to the Earth tomorrow. Can you hand it in before 12 o'clock tomorrow? I?"

This time, it was Krel who started to tremble at the corner of his mouth. However, before he got up and slapped the case angrily, Yu Lian said again: "I know this is still quite difficult for everyone. So, the budget remains the same, just change it a little bit." The equipment of the USS ship. Don’t worry, everyone in the design bureau has nothing to do with you.”

He looked deeply at Krell: "How about replacing the observatory on the bridge with a Lasis configuration? A simplified version will do! Yes, it's the one I saw in the Turanka galaxy."

Belmont was furious: "Don't bully others too much!"

"What's your opinion?" Yu Lian asked.

"At most, at most, you can replenish your No. 1 ship with a large will array."

"Okay." Yu Lian frowned, with disgust on his face, and said reluctantly: "I want to use semi-permanent ones. Made of spiritual paint, don't fool me with cheap gold metal crafts that can only be used a few times. I."

Krel nodded, and then suddenly realized something: "Wait a minute, I am the Department of Arms! I have no control over alchemy products!"

"Aren't you still a member of the Extraordinary Administration?"

Co-authored: Are you waiting for me here?

However, at this time, the alliance was so eager to switch endlessly between great joy and great sorrow that it was almost torn apart by this dual world of ice and fire. All that's left is ruthless and endless exhaustion.

Even Claire Belmont, who volunteered to personally host this arms purchase, just wanted to end the negotiation as soon as possible.

He covered his forehead and looked at the director of the Polaris Design Bureau on the left. He found that the latter's eyes were full of pleading. He couldn't help but shuddered. He endured the nausea and looked at the right again, and found another colleague wearing the rank of major general. He gave himself a hidden look.

This guy is actually the official negotiator of the Extraordinary Administration, but he just wore a gray Marine uniform to hide his identity.

"The administration has no objection, it's your decision." The other party said in a whisper.

Krell thought about it carefully. If it was just a Will Array, it wouldn't be the leakage of his own alchemy technology, and there would still be money to be made, and the suppliers of alchemy products would be even more profitable.

Then, the largest supplier of alchemy consumables in the alliance... By coincidence, isn't it the home of his and Yani's uncle?

"I'm doing this for your sake. It's not allowed at first, but I'm really doing it for your sake." Krel shouted to Yu Lian angrily.

In this way, the four dreadnoughts, which had already built their main structures, finally determined their outfitting and equipment plans. Through this "long" negotiation, Yu Lian saved at least more than 4 billion for the Blue Star Community. By the way, he also obtained the equipment of an entire general-purpose synthesis division, plus a dedicated fleet alchemy array for the flagship.

Such an achievement is enough to open the champagne to celebrate.

Afterwards, Colonel Silva said to Yu Liang in admiration: "What a brilliant result! Compared with you, in previous arms purchase negotiations, we feel like we were slaughtered like fat sheep."

Yu Lian said with a smile: "Hahaha, you deserve it. I'm just bringing the ripping off of Party B back to normal. It's not that the staff who were in charge of arms purchase negotiations couldn't do it, it's that there was no need to do it. After all, it's a millionaire job." Just send it to the food, clothing, and work place. Even if I do it, not only will I get no credit, but I might offend some big boss. Fortunately, I'm not actually afraid of offending people."

Of course Colonel Silva understood what this meant, and suddenly he could only laugh awkwardly. You, a war hero, a genius psychic, and the star of hope for the people of Earth, are certainly not afraid of offending people. But I'm afraid!

Chester Rozes probably saw the other party's worries, so he smiled and said: "Actually, the Alliance wants to complete this business more than we do. Whether it's our experiment or the strategic balance of the New World, Since they are willing to dedicate a division, they will no longer mind discounting the Dreadnought."

Strategic balance in the New World? Colonel Silva found this topic horrifying to ponder. But the more this happened, the less he wanted to talk.

Luo Zeshi looked at Yu Lian again and said with a smile: "Of course, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. I originally thought it would take at least a few tug-of-wars."

Yu Lian coughed and said, "Yes, although these words are a bit disrespectful to General Gu Jiao's spirit in heaven, due to security issues at the meeting, our embassy took the opportunity to lodge a protest. The alliance has made steps backward in many aspects."

It's a pity, if I take a shot myself, maybe I can get another 30% discount.

Rozeshi nodded very vigorously and said sincerely: "Yes, I must thank the ambassador and General Oswood."

Yes, in addition to Madam Ambassador, General Oswood does have to thank. The chief military attaché of the Community in the alliance was probably frightened by the last assassination case, and he never dared to appear in the negotiation room again. Of course, if he was really here, it would be difficult for Yu Lian to perform well.

"The next work is to ensure the progress of our outfitting. Chester, you said last time that there was something going on in the Crystal City of the Northern Continent?"

Crystal City is also an ancient city of the Alliance, and it was built during the royal government era of the Alliance's home planet. It is now the largest city in Nephi's highest dimension, located in a large glacial valley surrounded by magnificent icebergs and vast snowfields. It is also a very important military industrial town for the alliance. Within the valley, there are at least hundreds of core production workshops of famous military industrial companies.

Because there are a large number of zero-element rich minerals hidden there, a special magnetic field environment is formed in the valley, which is very suitable for the production of some of the most sophisticated equipment. Therefore, even in this era of interstellar colonization, the Alliance has not thought about moving the industrial zone to outer space orbit or other planets.

After all, the profiteers in the Alliance who are desperate for money are not the poor and elegant nobles of the empire, and they will not think about turning their home planet into a "spiritually revived" garden planet.

That city was also one of the cities that Luo Zeshi focused on inspecting during the New Year holiday.

He nodded and said: "The hull of our dreadnought is now being built in the No. 3 dock of the Taita Shipyard, which is over Nephi. If nothing else, the main gun's coupling shaft and power supply capacitor should be made by the furnace. Fort Heavy Industries produces in its factory in Crystal City. I went to see their production line. Their production line runs day and night. The white light of the twenty-two solar furnaces makes the night look like day. It is indeed quite spectacular. You are right, the Alliance must be under the influence. A large military industry order, but..."

"only?"

"The Hearth industry employs a large number of temporary workers, at least one-third of whom are Lothars. There are also Kig'ya, bugtans, and Pekka pig-faced people from the alliance border countries."

"Temporary workers?" Colonel Silva asked curiously.

"Yes, temporary workers. This military industry order is very lucrative, but it should not be long-term, so there is no need to expand the number of employees." Luo Zeshi said: "It just so happens that these temporary workers used to be skilled workers, but due to some circumstances they lost their jobs. They have lost their jobs and even their homes and are in urgent need of a job to make ends meet.”

Yu Lian shrugged, thinking that this was really normal operation.

"They don't have a New Year's holiday, and they have to work overtime during the New Year's holiday to make up for the vacancies during the regular workers' vacation. When I went there, some labor representatives were negotiating with the city government, hoping to at least get a little bonus. I don't know. What’s the result now?”

"It shouldn't affect our equipment." Colonel Silva was a little anxious.

Luo Zeshi looked at Yu Lian and saw that the latter looked distracted and didn't mind, so he affirmed: "No. Even if it is yes, it is the alliance's problem. We can ask them for another discount. And, after all, it is Alliance, they’re going to kill us, but when did you hear about late delivery?”

"Indeed, you have to believe in their governance capabilities." Colonel Silva felt relieved.

This seems to be the case. Even if there is a group of temporary workers working three shifts 007 in the Crystal City Industrial Zone more than 10,000 kilometers away from here, and they are not fully clothed and have no food to eat, they still have nothing to do with the masters here on the Gem Coast. They have nothing to do with each other.

At least the representatives from the opposite alliance didn't think this kind of thing was a big deal at all, and they might not even have heard it.

It can be seen that it is not just the community's arms purchase delegation that wants to open champagne to celebrate. Although the alliance was tortured to death by Yu Lian, the most annoying Party A, they also cheered after the fruit came to fruition. .

Whether it is the Polaris Design Bureau or the Alliance military, this is indeed the largest arms purchase in the past half century. As long as it can be completed successfully, it will be a matter of fame and fortune for everyone.

Therefore, a member of the alliance military saw that he was a brigadier general engaged in reception and foreign affairs, and sincerely invited everyone to the banquet that had been prepared. He explained in detail that this was not only a celebration of the completion of the military registration, but also a high-end exchange meeting between the two countries. Many celebrities from the political, business and even literary and artistic circles would attend. Everyone can expand their social circle. If you can't, you can also watch music and dancing, and taste top-notch food and wine.

The negotiating team representatives from both sides have worked hard for so long, so they still want to enjoy it.

Then, when friends from the media arrive, the date of the dreadnought's return can be announced at the meeting, and the indestructible friendship between the two countries can also be announced at the meeting. Isn’t it beautiful?

Yu Lian didn't feel there was anything to enjoy, only that it was noisy. He has always felt that what is more troublesome than the capitalists discussing how to unite and organize a dignified business banquet at Liao Chi is the discussion between the capitalists, the powerful and the imperial literati on how to organize a political-business collusion banquet at Liao Chi in a more gentle and respectful manner. Of course I don't want to go.

However, as a mature adult, he knows that this is also part of the job. There is no like or dislike, only necessity or unnecessary.

What's more, Claire also said to himself: "Elena, Helena, Rena, Anne, and Renee are all going. If you don't go, you will be too ignorant."

"Who the hell are you talking about?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, really, only by learning Brother Yu Lian's love-forgettable book can I raise sharks in my own crystal fish tank?" Claire suddenly realized it, looking like he had failed at learning.

"After all, they are all good girls with a price. Are they suitable for such an occasion?"

"When these words are said, they will be very sad. These girls are all ambitious, and they do have a price, but what they want is not a monetary price, but something more decent... Wait, you are not Didn't you forget?" Claire said angrily: "Look at what you said. They are serious practitioners in the cultural and sports industry, and they are quite famous. Why can't they attend?"

I understand this, it’s about resource replacement. Even if you can't find reliable resources or financial sponsors, you can still find an honest person to do good. It is definitely impossible to catch a real rich man, but it is very possible for some new generations who are born in ordinary families but rise to the top based on their abilities and studies. Anyway, the latter would not know about their past, or even if they knew, they would definitely not mind.

However, this is other people's lives, so Yu Lian decided to express his blessing.

However, it was said that the ambassador and senior officials of the Earth Chamber of Commerce also went. Yu Lian knew that it would be rude if he did not go.
