Me, The Station Reporter

In the small conference hall, Kulig looked at Jiang Cheng's smiling face and fell into deep thought.

Judging from what Jiang Cheng just said, the weapons and equipment produced by Huanyu Industrial are top-notch products that are leading in the world.

Take fifth-generation fighters, third-generation tanks, aircraft carriers, warships, etc., for example, such heavy weapons and equipment with extremely high deterrent power are almost impossible to buy internationally.

Although the three countries in the past had ordered third-generation tanks and fifth-generation fighters from the United States of America, all the foreign products sold by the United States of America were castrated, and their performance was greatly reduced. They could not be compared with the same-level equipment currently in service by the United States of America.

Ah Sanguo spent a lot of money to buy weapons and equipment, but they were castrated versions. In addition, Ah Sanguo had to pay some other conditions. This is really not cost-effective.

Seeing that Kulig was silent, Jiang Cheng smiled and said: "Mr. Minister, Huanyu Industry has the most advanced military technology, and Huanyu Industry also has huge production capacity. In the warehouse of Huanyu Industry, we also store a batch of extremely advanced land, sea and air equipment."1

"What, there's still stock..." Kulig's eyes suddenly lit up.

Normally, after the Asan Kingdom orders weapons and equipment from other countries, the delivery time is very long, and it is easy to be ripped off in the process, such as adding money to upgrade the combat system, upgrade the firepower system, etc.

Take the aircraft carrier Vikrama, the best naval equipment of the three countries.

The predecessor of this aircraft carrier was the Admiral Gorkov of the Northern Bear Country, which was presented to the Asan Kingdom by the Northern Bear Country.

However, this aircraft carrier must be refitted in the North Bear Country, and the refitting costs will be paid by the Asan Kingdom.

At that time, Asan Kingdom was buying aircraft carriers everywhere. When they heard that Bei Xiong Country was willing to send them an aircraft carrier, Asan Country was very happy, and they quickly signed an agreement with Bei Xiong Country to donate 597 aircraft carriers.

However, the subsequent development made Asanguo dare not speak out.

The deal was signed in 2004, and the modification process lasted until 2013.

During this nine-year modification process, the North Bear Country would increase the modification fee almost every other year, and pointed out that the aircraft carrier had many defects and technical faults and needed to upgrade it.

At first, Ah Sanguo thought the North Bear Country was very interesting, so he readily paid the modification fee.

Later, Ah Sanguo gradually felt that something was wrong. The aircraft carrier had not been refitted for several years, but more than one billion meters had been paid for the modification. This made Ah Sanguo realize that something was wrong.

Under the additional modification fees from Beixiong Country again and again, Ah Sanguo finally understood that this was not a gift, it was clearly a way to blackmail them and extort money from them.

Later, Ah Sanguo refused to pay the modification fee and wanted to take over the aircraft carrier directly and drive it back to China to modify and upgrade it himself.

However, the North Bear State came up with the contract to argue that if they did not continue to pay the modification fee, they would not want the aircraft carrier.

Finally, after nine years of modification, Asan Kingdom finally obtained this conventional aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of 45,000 tons.

In these nine years, Asan Kingdom paid a total of 2.98 billion meters in high modification costs.

You know, the Vikrama was produced in the 1980s and can be regarded as an old model of aircraft carrier.

For such an old model aircraft carrier, Asan Kingdom paid a whopping 2.98 billion meters of gold for modification, which can be said to be a loss to grandma's family.

Thinking of this, Kulig felt quite uncomfortable. Ah Sanguo had been cheated by too many people, and it seemed that others thought they were stupid and rich.

At this moment, he suddenly heard that Huanyu Industry still had inventory, which made Kulig a little excited.

Having inventory means that you can receive the goods after you pay for them. There is no need to wait, and you will not be ripped off in the process.

"Huh..." Kulig breathed out and quickly calmed himself down. He looked at Jiang Cheng with a smile on his face and said: "Mr. Jiang, what kind of inventory does the Universal Fleet have?

After hearing this, Jiang Cheng took out a tablet computer, handed it to Kulig, and said with a smile: "It's all here, Mr. Minister, you can watch it slowly."

Seeing this, Kulig quickly took the tablet and checked it quickly.

As soon as he clicked on the first page, Kulig's eyes froze, and his face was full of surprise and shock.

[Chengfeng-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier——Needless to say, the overlord of the sea, with a length of 344 meters, a width of 78 meters, a draft of 12 meters, a full load tonnage of 130,000 tons, an estimated crew of 3,856 people, and a power plant of 2 nuclear reactors , maximum speed 35 knots.

Ship-borne armament: 4 missile silos, 2 short-range air defense systems, and can carry up to 88 carrier-based aircraft of various types. Selling price: 9 billion meters of gold]

"Chengfeng-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, priced at 9 billion meters of gold..." Kulig swallowed, and his heart skipped a beat.

You know, the flagship of the Universal Fleet is a Chengfeng-class aircraft carrier. Its combat effectiveness has been tested. Even the Ford of Midland was no match and was beaten to a pulp.

The only countries that can manufacture nuclear-powered aircraft carriers like this are the United States and World Industries, not even the Xiong Kingdom and the Dragon Kingdom.

Moreover, the maritime overlord would have no place to buy it.

For example, the United States Navy's most advanced aircraft carrier, the USS Ford, has a hull cost of more than 5 billion meters. However, even if you pay 10 billion meters, it is impossible for the United States to sell it.

The reason why the United States dominates Blue Star and overlooks other countries depends on its powerful navy and nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle group.

This kind of thing is a great artifact, how could it be sold to others.

If the United States sells nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, its maritime superiority will be lost.

"Mr. Minister, Asan Kingdom is the first country to cooperate with Huanyu Industry. It is for this reason that I will take out the Chengfeng-class aircraft carrier and replace it with someone else. Don't even think about such a thing." Jiang Cheng said seriously , it seems that after passing this village, this store is no longer there.

In the system mall, the price of a Chengfeng ship is 1 billion exchange points, and it sells for 9 billion meters of gold, making a net profit of 8 billion meters of gold, which is a huge profit.

The most important thing (cdch) is that if Jiang Cheng hands over the Chengfeng to the Navy of the Three Kingdoms, will other countries not be interested?

The example is right in front of us, how can they not come to the door?

For Jiang Cheng, the arms race must begin. The defense expenditures of various countries are too low. He must promote the vigorous development of national defense undertakings in various countries.

To give an obvious example, except for the United States and the Dragon Kingdom, the military expenditures of other countries are only tens of billions of dollars. There are also some small countries whose military expenditures are only a few hundred million dollars. This amount of money is useless. Might as well go home and play house.

"Mr. Jiang, our country is indeed interested in the Chengfeng-class aircraft carrier, but the price is too expensive..." Kulig said with great difficulty. He wanted to lower the price.

"Expensive?" Jiang Cheng laughed, stood up from his seat, and said in a cold voice: "Minister Kulig, I treat you as a friend. The price I gave is unmatched in the world, but you are Tell me it’s expensive? In that case, there’s no need for us to talk anymore!”

With that said, Jiang Cheng stepped forward and was about to leave.

Seeing this scene, Kulig was dumbfounded. He quickly stood up and shouted: "Mr. Jiang, don't leave yet. I can accept this price..."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng turned around, sat back down, put his fingers on the table, and tapped lightly.

After looking at Kulig slightly for a few seconds, he said: "Mr. Minister, I am a very fair person in business. I never open my mouth like a lion, nor do I accept bargaining."

"So, never talk about things like lowering prices again."

Opposite him, Kulig's eyebrows trembled and he felt a little aggrieved.

He is the defense minister of Asan, the fourth most powerful country in the world, but now he has to negotiate with Jiang Cheng cautiously for fear of making him unhappy. It's too difficult for him!

Staring at the change in Kulig's expression, Jiang Cheng quickly put on a smile: "Mr. Minister, the Chengfeng-class aircraft carrier is currently the most advanced nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. With it, the navy of the three countries will immediately rise." A step up.”

For a big guy like the Chengfeng Class, it won't be fine once it's sold out.

When the Chengfeng-class aircraft carrier enters service in the Asan Kingdom Navy, its parts will inevitably wear out and be replaced, and its subsequent maintenance costs will also be a huge expense, which is also a steady source of profit.

"Mr. Jiang, do you know if there are any carrier-based aircraft like those on the World Fleet aircraft carriers still in stock? If there is no inventory, our country can place an order for pre-order!" Kulig said while the iron was hot.

You must know that the Navy's carrier-based aircraft have higher requirements than the Air Force's fighter aircraft, because carrier-based aircraft take off from warships and aircraft carriers.

"Mr. Minister, just keep reading. Everything is ready for you." Jiang Cheng smiled lightly.

Hearing this, Kulig picked up the tablet and continued to look back.

[Flying Eagle: a fifth-generation fighter aircraft with a length of 15 meters, a wingspan of 10 meters, a height of 4.2 meters, an empty weight of 14 tons, a maximum take-off weight of 35 tons, a maximum speed of Mach 2.2, a maximum range of 1,250 nautical miles, and a combat radius of 600 Nautical mile, practical ceiling 18,900 meters.

Airborne armament: four-barreled airborne machine cannon, 188 rounds of ammunition storage, and can carry 12 missiles of various types. Price: 300 million meters gold. 】

Kulig looked at the introduction of the Flying Eagle fighter and muttered to himself: "A 300 million-meter gold one is not expensive, but it's not cheap either..."

Then, Kulig continued to look back.

[Taurus Fighter: The fourth-generation fighter...priced at 100 million yuan. 】

[White Crane Fighter: The third generation fighter...priced at 30 million meters gold. 】

Looking at the detailed introduction of these two fighters, Kulig thought carefully.

Since the domestically produced fighter jets of the Asan Kingdom are somewhat unqualified, maritime hegemons like the Chengfeng class must not be equipped with domestically produced fighter jets, otherwise their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

Currently, among the countries that have aircraft carriers, almost the mainstream aircraft carrier-based aircraft are third- and fourth-generation fighters. Even the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier fleet of the United States has very few fifth-generation fighters.

The Chengfeng-class aircraft carrier can carry 88 fighters. If it is fully equipped with fifth-generation fighters, it will be equivalent to 26 billion yuan. Who can afford this?

Moreover, after looking around the world, only the United States of America has hundreds of fifth-generation fighters, followed closely by the North Bear and Dragon Kingdom, which only have dozens of them!

In the absence of a large-scale war, countries will not change their clothing on a large scale. This is too expensive and no one can afford it. .
