"Minister Grilov, Mr. Mavi's idea is really good. In this way, not only can it be used to threaten the book in the future. And even those countries in Europe are all within the range of our Russia's attack. ”

"But it was ...... We have also destroyed the equipment for the production of medium-range missiles. If this is to be picked up again, I am afraid that the financial aspect will be ...... It will be much more expensive than a single deployment of an ICBM, right?" said a senior Defense Minister in a suit with a look of embarrassment.

The problem of funding has always been the biggest difficulty for Russia. It's not that they don't have technology, it's not that they don't have scientists, but the military industry is too much money-burning!

After hearing this, Minister Grilov pondered that only $230 million is available in this year's Ministry of Defense budget. Many of these places cost money, and there is not much that can be taken out, which is really a bit stretched.

"The investment in the development of medium-range missiles, plus the construction of production lines, is quite huge. It is estimated that at least 800 million US dollars. The money...... Even if we count our budget for next year, I'm afraid it won't be enough to pay......" Minister Grilov said helplessly.

After hearing this, everyone's expressions gradually dimmed. $800 million may not be a big deal for some economically developed countries. But in Russia, it is absolutely possible to force individuals to death.

However, just when everyone was silent, I saw Ma Wei, who was sitting at the table in the conference room, suddenly said to them, "Minister Grilov, I think I have a solution to the development of medium-range missiles. ”

As soon as the words came out, he saw all the high-ranking officials of the Ministry of National Defense, and looked at Ma Wei again, "Ma Wei, what can you do?" ”

At this time, Mavi took a deep breath, and then continued, "Actually, we can go to Ukraine and buy their missile production line, research institute. Then, on the basis of the original basis, the range, performance, and other data of the missile will be improved. I believe that the amount of money to be spent should be greatly reduced. ”

Before he came, Ma Wei had already thought of basic countermeasures. Last year he undermined the European Union's plot to destroy Ukraine's nuclear weapons. So today, in Ukraine's warehouses, there are still a large number of nuclear warheads, intercontinental missiles, missile production lines to be abandoned, and missile research institutes.

According to last year's "routine" of buying two and getting one free for Soviet-style fighters, Ma Wei believes that Ukraine will not charge too much for this missile business. Moreover, they have become very good friends, and the price is naturally cheaper......

When Ma Wei said the plan, after that. I saw the Russian Defense Minister sitting in front of me, General Grilov, and the senior officials of the surrounding Defense Departments. Suddenly, their eyes lit up, and they all showed joy.

Unexpectedly, the problem in their eyes was easily solved when it came to Ma Wei's side...... This Nima is simply demonic......

In fact, it is not the Mavi demon, but the Russians, who are generally not very economically minded. If you want them to fight, fight, it's okay to be tough and tough. But if they want to do business and settle accounts, it is really a bit difficult for them......

Moreover, this was in 2001, and people more than 20 years ago were relatively simple-minded.

"Mavi, thank you so much! this time. Minister Grilov happily stood up from his seat and shook hands with Mavi in thanks.

"You're welcome, Minister Grilov. It is my duty as a Russian citizen to contribute to the construction of national defense!" Ma Wei, who is very "conscious," said in the conference room.

Having experienced the baptism of the naval war between Russia and Japan, Ma Wei deeply realized how important it is for the country to be strong. Even if you have more money in your pocket and the country is poor and weak, it is useless. Sooner or later, all the money earned will be accounted for......

Because among all the people present, the one who has the best relationship with the Ukrainian government is Mavi alone. Therefore, the task of acquisition and negotiation also fell on Ma Wei.

Three days later, Mavi arrived at Ukraine's international airport on his Bombardier Global Express. He looked out through the cabin window.

I saw a whole row of familiar Dongfeng warrior military vehicles, neatly parked on the airport platform. These cars were the "meeting gifts" that Ma Wei casually gave to the three Ukrainian armies. Now it has become a popular Ukrainian military vehicle. And Ukraine, too, specially ordered these Dongfeng warriors from China.

Obviously, its cost performance is much higher than that of the military Humvee.

As soon as Ma Wei stepped off the plane, he saw Lieutenant General Denikins wearing the uniform of the Ukrainian Army, so he warmly stepped forward to greet him, "Hello, Mr. Ma Wei! Good afternoon, I am Lieutenant General Denikins of the 32nd Army Base, welcome to Ukraine!"

Since last year, it has made several large orders for the Ukrainian Navy, revitalized the Black Sea shipyard and saved the nuclear destruction crisis. Mavi was particularly welcomed by the three Ukrainian armed forces. For as long as he appears, good things will happen.

So when the Ukrainian Army Headquarters learned that Mavi was coming to visit, it was naturally a hundred to welcome him.

"Hello, Lieutenant General Dunnikins, thank you for these hospitalities. "Having experienced large and small arms deals, Mavi can now be regarded as the king of arms in Russia. However, he did not make his fortune from war, arms were just one of his hobbies......

"Mr. Mavi, I heard that you have some interest in our Ukrainian medium-range missile research institute and missile production line?" Lieutenant General Denikins' reception this time was with a mission. He was asked to make sure he made a deal with Russia.

After all, now the Ukrainian Navy is a little richer, and the Air Force is also more relaxed. As far as their Ukrainian Army is concerned, every year they still pinch the budget and tighten their belts to live. The cost of maintenance and storage of intercontinental missiles, nuclear warheads, is all a big one.

"I'm kind of interested, Lieutenant General Dunikins. It's just that as you know, Russia has signed an "Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Contract" with the United States. So there is a certain risk in buying these devices back. Ma Wei said lightly.

Although he has a good relationship with the Ukrainian government. But it is the first time to deal with the Ukrainian Army. Therefore, a lot of information is not convenient to disclose. So as not to be accidentally "pitted". For example, deliberately selling at a high price......

After hearing this, Lieutenant General Dunnikins was silent for a while, and he knew about the "INF Contract". It is also clear that Russia cannot have medium-range missiles. It's just that their Ukrainian Army is really short of money, and they can't manage any "medium-range missile contracts" and "long-range missile contracts". Anyway, it is a little bit to be able to sell a little, and it is useless to keep it.

"Mr. Ma Wei, please rest assured about the purchase of intermediate-range missile equipment by your government. We, the Ukrainian military, will absolutely keep it a secret for you!" said Lieutenant General Denikins, with an oath.
