Sure enough, just as Chen Xu expected, even if he just mentioned using submarines as a capital to exchange technology with the United States, the expression on the old chief's face collapsed, as if Chen Xu had said something rebellious. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Don't think that this submarine was brought back by Chen Xu with great difficulty, and he can do whatever he wants with it unscrupulously, this kind of thinking is wrong!

Because in the interests of the country, after this nuclear submarine enters China's ports, it belongs to the core secret of the military. Although it has only been in Hong Kong for a few hours, it cannot be denied that its ownership has belonged to China, and Chen Xu casually took it to exchange it with the Americans, which is a bit suspected of betraying national interests.

However, Chen Xu is a great hero, he is sophisticated, and he has always made a lot of money when trading with foreign countries, and he has never suffered a loss. So the old chief didn't have an attack immediately, but tried to listen to it, maybe Chen Xu had a good idea.

"Boss, let's put aside other messy factors, let's talk about interests. What price do you think the Americans should pay if they want to develop this nuclear submarine with us? Chen Xu felt that it was not as pleasant to say anything as it was to talk about the benefits directly, so he tried to ask.

"This ...... After developing this nuclear submarine, the Americans must share the technology they have researched with us, and at the same time, they must also spend tens of millions of dollars as cooperation fees. The old chief scratched his cheeks, and said a price very carefully, his knowledge of foreign countries came from intelligence, and he was very inflexible, and after thinking for a while, he cautiously said what he thought was an ideal price.

In this era, the United States and the Soviet Union, as the world's only two superpowers, have science and technology that China looks up to, so the old chief cannot raise the price very high in terms of thinking. He believes that if we can work with American scientists to study this submarine in reverse, I believe that we can digest its internal technology faster and more thoroughly, and this is already China's biggest gain.

"Boss, you're saving too much money for Americans! At least there is no sky-high asking price, and we will suffer a big loss if we negotiate with foreigners so politely. Chen Xu rubbed his temples a little disappointed, he thought that with the domineering spirit of the old chief leading thousands of troops, the price would definitely make the Americans tremble, but he didn't expect that as soon as the old man opened his mouth, he just plucked a few hairs from the Americans, not to mention cutting the flesh and not even cutting the skin.

"It's tens of millions of dollars in cooperation fees, and you're welcome?" The boss swallowed his saliva, in his eyes, tens of millions of dollars was already a huge amount, and he was a little embarrassed to ask for more.

Chen Xu took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "First of all, we have to understand that the most valuable thing for the Americans is not the submarine itself.

The United States' own submarine industry is already the best in the world, and they can create underwater ghosts that are not inferior to those of any country. The submarine technology of the Soviets, while tempting, was not as strong as that.

What really can poke the Americans' cool point is the submarine's unique communication system and the way it connects with the Soviet military's global nuclear strike network. Although this submarine is only an attack type, it can launch nuclear torpedoes and can carry out nuclear strikes against US aircraft carriers. The Alpha-class attack submarine is the most advanced submarine ever built in the Soviet Union, equipped with the most advanced communication technology in the Soviet Union, which means that any force can enter the command system of the Soviet Navy through this submarine if they wish.

What's more, we also captured nine Soviet submariners this time, and from the mouths of these people, we can also interrogate a lot of Soviet naval secrets, and this information related to the Soviet Union's nuclear strike capability is invaluable to the United States, and they can theoretically pay any price in order to obtain this information. ”

"This information is also of great military significance to our country, and it's not good to trade it!" The old chief shook his head and disagreed.

"But the Americans take this information, but it is harmless to us. Anyway, it's the stuff of the Soviets, and we can only suffocate it in the pot at most, so is it possible that we still want to use these things to carry out a nuclear strike on the Soviet Union? It is better to exchange it for something more valuable to the Americans. Chen Xu crossed his fingers to teach the old chief the experience of pitting people, and to think about problems with the cunning thinking of capitalists, if you use traditional and honest ideas, you will really lose money.

Chen Xu will not tell the old chief that the Soviet Union will be wiped out in ten years, that the Soviet Union's nuclear attack network will fall apart, and that the longer this so-called top-secret information is hidden, the less valuable it will become. After all, the Soviet Union is now at the peak of its strongest national strength, and even the United States has to retreat, and at this time, taking out the Soviet Union's most core military secrets in exchange for the greatest benefits is also the greatest.

By the time the Soviet Union collapsed, no one wanted any military information for nothing.

"According to what you say, the price I just offered is really low, you kid is very experienced, why don't you tell me what kind of price you will offer." The old chief also felt that he really didn't know how to do business, so he opened his mouth to ask.

"At the very least, the reactor in the nuclear submarine is more advanced than the aircraft carrier, and the cost is not cheaper than that of an aircraft carrier. If the Americans also want to come and study it, they will have to compensate us with a ship with nuclear weapons. Chen Xu pinched his chin and said without hesitation.

"A ship with a nucleus? The Americans have only aircraft carriers left in addition to nuclear submarines! If the nuclear submarine is the heart and soul of the navy, then the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is the beloved existence of the navy's wife.

"Hmmm! What I mean is that the Americans have to trade a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier for our Alpha-class nuclear submarines. Chen Xu categorically affirmed what he meant.

"Will the Americans really agree?" The old chief asked in disbelief, if an Alpha-class nuclear submarine can really be exchanged for a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, then this business is indeed done!

"Nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are the combat core of the US Navy, so it is impossible for the Americans to agree, we want nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are just a lion's mouth, and the Americans will finally choose to exchange a conventionally powered aircraft carrier for what they want after bargaining." Chen Xu smiled and looked at the old chief with an expectant look, the old man is very good at fighting, but his ability to do business is too tender, and he can't keep up with Chen Xu's rhythm at all.

Chen Xu knows very well that even if the Americans are very covetous of the various technologies on the Alpha-class nuclear submarine, they will not exchange their most important nuclear-powered aircraft carrier for it, which has already touched the bottom line of the United States.

However, nuclear-powered aircraft carriers will not work, and conventional aircraft carriers will not have a problem.

China's current national strategy is to surrender to the West in a false way and cut ties with the Soviet Union. The United States will see China as the most important strategic ally against the Soviet Union in the next decade, and China has just opened up, and its military equipment is backward and cannot compete with the Soviet Union, so arming the Chinese army against the Soviet Union is a happy thing for the Americans.

They only need to come up with some weapons, and they can make China a pawn against the Soviet Union, which is a very good business for the United States.

Of course, against the northern giant bear of the Soviet Union, it is not enough to just support some ordinary guns and ammunition. Historically, the United States really wanted to give China a basket of plans for the comprehensive modernization of its air force, navy, and army weapons, and it was provided to China in the form of aid, and it did not cost much money. The weapons provided basically covered all the active equipment of the US military at that time, such as transport planes, fighter planes, helicopters, tanks, frigates, etc., provided that China wanted to join NATO and the national defense should dock with the US military.

This touches China's core national interests, and merging into NATO is equivalent to being a colony of the Americans in the eyes of the Chinese, which Beijing absolutely cannot tolerate, so even if the US imperialists issued attractive conditions, Beijing still resolutely rejected all this.

The US imperialists were disappointed, but they did not interrupt their cooperation and still listed China as a friendly non-ally country. As long as China spends money, except for a few offensive weapons that can pose a threat to the United States, most of the advanced weapons can be purchased at will, but at that time the country was too poor to afford many expensive weapons.

Among them, the most famous is the Black Hawk helicopter, which is more familiar to the Chinese people, in addition to the C130 transport aircraft, LM2500 marine gas turbine and so on.

At that time, American arms dealers were still advertising in domestic weapons knowledge magazines, which introduced the M1A1 tank at length, in fact, they wanted China to pay for it.

However, the unit price of this thing was too high, China's foreign exchange reserves at that time were only more than one billion US dollars, and many domestic ministries and commissions had to divide them, and there was not much in the army's accounts, which is why the old chief felt that tens of millions of US dollars was a large amount.

The United States could not afford to buy too many tanks, the state could not support it financially, and it was useless to fight the Soviet Union if it bought too little, and the fuel consumption of the M1A1 with gas turbines installed was too high, and the requirements for logistics were very high. Compared to this, the military preferred the Leopard 2 tank with a diesel engine, so the M1A1 missed out on China, but in the end, the Leopard 2 was not negotiated.

China was not an ally of US imperialism in the 80s, so the Americans would not agree to sell aircraft carriers as offensive weapons to China.

However, if Chen Xu exchanges the most advanced nuclear submarine of the Soviets, it is estimated that the Americans will be hypocritical and will also consider the gains and losses.

The old chief rubbed his hands, and his eyes lit up and said: "Conventional power aircraft carriers are fine, nuclear submarines are exchanged for aircraft carriers, and we will not lose money in this transaction of one for one." I can do this, and Beijing will definitely agree to this. ”

"One for another...... Old chief, you are polite again, scarce is expensive, our Alpha-class attack nuclear submarine is the only Soviet weapon in the world that can be dismantled and played by the Americans, so we have to exchange two aircraft carriers for it! And this is only the floor price, it is not possible to give a naked ship! The ship also had to give a full set of F14 carrier-based aircraft, early warning aircraft, and helicopters, including crew training and carrier-based aircraft pilot take-off and landing training, and finally had to send a few frigates as partners. ”

Chen Xu finally revealed his greedy nature, and when it came to the lion's ability to open his mouth, the old chief really couldn't catch up.
