Chapter 859 VAM Agreement
As Jiang Chen expected, after returning home from work one day, Natasha really found him again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"The Kremlin wants you to fulfill the original contract ahead of schedule. As compensation, we are willing to buy 5 RM-320 rocket engines for twice the price. ā
After Transwarp Trade contracted the replenishment mission of the International Space Station from Russia, Jiang Chen reached an agreement with the Russian side to sell the RM-320 rocket engine used in Transwarp 1 to the Russian side at a reasonable price after a few years.
Originally, Jiang Chen planned to wait until more than ten years later to fulfill this agreement, but seeing that all countries in the world were preparing for the moon landing program, Russia obviously couldn't sit still. With a tight budget, they obviously can't afford to spend too much money on independent research and development of more advanced rocket engines, so naturally, the Kremlin hit Jiang Chen with the idea.
The RM-320 engine has been phased out in Transwarp Trade. Although it marked the top level of space rockets before the end of the war, it was also the result of nearly 50 years of space rocket development gap. After the development of the space elevator, no one has developed a troublesome and expensive rocket engine, but has focused all their energy on missiles and outer space spacecraft engines.
But that doesn't mean it's technically impossible.
Apocalyptic technicians incorporated some of the pre-war technology and improved the RM-320 rocket engine to develop the more advanced RM-400, which was the same engine used in the Ring-4 rocket for lunar colonization.
From this point of view, there is no problem in selling the RM-320 engine to Russia, but considering the strategic needs, Jiang Chen prefers that Russia will focus on Eastern Europe rather than the gradually heating up space race.
So, after sorting out his thoughts, Jiang Chen spread out his hand and replied to Natasha.
"Anyway, there are only two years left until 2020, can't you wait?"
"Time waits for no one, and technology will be obsolete. In today's international environment, who knows if by 2020, your RM-320 will still not be the world's leading level?" Natasha said, rolling her eyes.
Hearing this rhetorical question, Jiang Chen immediately smiled.
Not to mention two years, if you give SpaceX another ten years, their Falcon rocket will not want to use more advanced engines than the RM-320.
"In this way, I guarantee that by the end of 2020, the performance of the RM-320 will still be at the top of the world."
"What if not?" Natasha's mouth curled.
"Then I won't sell it, I'll give it to you for nothing. Jiang Chen smiled confidently.
Natasha thought for a moment before nodding.
"In that case...... There should be no problem. Then I'll just reply to the Kremlin. ā
"Wait a minute. ā
Natasha, who was about to get up, sat back again, looked at Jiang Chen and asked.
"Anything else?"
"Since it's a bet, you have to have a lottery whether you win or lose. Jiang Chen smiled, "If I win, there will still be no rocket engine that can surpass the performance of the RM-320 at the end of 2020, what are you going to pay?"
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Natasha's red lips pursed slightly, and her curvy long legs were on her knees.
"Oh, what do you want?"
Jiang Chen smiled slightly and put forward his own proposal.
ā¦ā¦
With a gambling contract, Natasha left Jiang Chen's villa, and although it was already eight o'clock in the evening, the embassy was not closed. To be honest, with her repeated achievements in helping Russia facilitate cooperation with the Future People Group, Natasha is more than enough to be an ambassador.
However, for some reason, she never seemed to have any intention of being promoted.
At noon the next day, Transwarp Trading's new order of four Guardian-class frigates to Russia was successfully delivered, and the arms sales order worth US$500 million will be paid to the Russian side in the form of Singapore dollars. Due to the astonishing success of the lunar colonization program and the Mofie War, which ended in the victory of the Moro Nation, the Singapore dollar is showing continued strength in the foreign exchange market, and the exchange rate against the US dollar has now increased to 1:1.2.
Although the rising exchange rate is not good for exports, many industries of the Future People Group are unique, and there is no cost competition. In addition, the higher exchange rate will mean that the price of imports in the new country will be cheaper, which will help the new country's enterprises to invest overseas and expand their economic influence internationally.
These four guardian-class frigates will be sent to Coconut Fruit Island, and the engineering robots will be equipped with fifty-type J-type electromagnetic cannons, counting the two ships and two submarines purchased from Russia before, the Star Ring Navy already has six frigates, which is more than enough to form an attack naval formation based on mobility and firepower.
In addition, the shipyard of the future military industry has been built on Anga Island, and the order for the first destroyer has been placed, and soon the Star Ring Trade will be installed on the warships produced in the new country, and they will protect their country with their own ships and guns.
After holding the handover ceremony of the warship, Jiang Chen returned to Koro Island, and seeing that it was still early, he went to the Future Man Building.
After Xia Shiyu reported to him about his recent work, Ivan's phone call followed closely.
After clicking on the touch screen and connecting the phone, Jiang Chen asked.
"What's the matter?"
"It's about Madagascar. Ivan replied, "At present, the government forces of Madagascar, with the assistance of our foreign legions, have besieged the Arrowhead Company and the rebels in the Bezaha area in the south of the island. President Bernard called us half an hour ago and asked us to cooperate with government forces in launching a final assault on the besieged rebels. ā
Speaking of this, Ivan stopped talking and waited for Jiang Chen's instructions.
Jiang Chen's index finger tapped lightly on the tabletop, falling into deep thought.
The end of the war was already sealed when the soldiers of Star Ring Trade landed on the island of Madagascar, and no matter how much former President Lachone struggled with the United Arrows, he could not escape this end.
However, Jiang Chen did not let the landed foreign legions immediately deal with the other party, but dragged out the war as long as possible by releasing water without a trace in command.
Jiang Chen's approach is the same as during the Moro War of Independence, and only when Madagascar owes enough money can their government be more obedient. Rather than having the Transwarp Trade forcibly intervene on the island, he would rather be greeted as a savior.
What's more, dragging this war on forever can still consume the living force of Freemasonry.
However, the Jews seem to have given up on the Arrowhead Company, and have been sending more mercenaries to Madagascar, and now they are even quite cautious about the delivery of supplies. The turmoil in Eastern Europe has left them no longer able to take care of the southernmost island in Africa.
Obviously, in the eyes of the Freemasons, the threat from Russia is greater than that of the multinational corporation of the Future People Group.
"Send our Aurora-20 over and send them on their way. After muttering for a long time, Jiang Chen spoke.
"Yes!" Ivan replied cleanly, ending the call. (To be continued.) )
