"Aircraft carriers?" Guo Jingguang's eyes jumped unconsciously, but he covered it up very well and didn't show it, and when Li Jianren was about to listen carefully to Xu Yanze's reply, he spoke decisively, "Mr. Li, I don't know how this aircraft carrier is sold?" If you sell take-out fighters as a whole, what is the price? ”
To tell the truth, Li Jianren has a lot of good things in his hands, and Hua Guo has even more peeps, but they don't have so much ability to collect them all, and even many necessary things can only be selected to be suitable, otherwise, not to mention that the expenses can't be afforded, even the heart can't withstand the violent toss, just look at the materials and space-based weapon systems and electromagnetic guns provided by Li Jianren now, these are enough for the Huaguo Academy of Sciences and the military to study for three or five years.

Although the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is good, in the eyes of the Chinese military bosses, it is not as popular as space-based weapons, and the conventional medium-sized aircraft carrier with a displacement of 45,000 tons independently designed and manufactured by China is already in the process of design and manufacturing.
"The price is negotiable, I'm just looking for a home for this aircraft carrier, if you don't want it, the Siamese side is very interested." As one of the only four countries in Asia with aircraft carriers, Siam has always sought a special position in the eastern Indian Ocean and the South China Sea, but unfortunately, a helicopter carrier with a displacement of less than 30,000 tons and more than a dozen light warships in the sixties and seventies of the last century cannot accomplish this huge goal at all.
In addition, Siam's economy was not strong before, and defense spending was repeatedly cut, but recently, Siam's economy has been injected with a shot in the arm, and with the Siam Canal is about to be opened, it is foreseeable that in the next ten years, Siam's economy will develop rapidly.
The opening and operation of the canal will provide a large amount of traffic and tourism, transportation income every year, and will greatly provide the overall economic level of the Siamese country, not to mention, just to say that L will invest in real estate on both sides of the canal, it is enough to make Siamese people make a lot of money, and these are long-term income, and naturally many things that can only be dreamed of before can be implemented, such as the purchase of a complete aircraft carrier battle group to enhance Siam's international status.
Of course, the Siamese do not need a complete aircraft carrier battle group like the most advanced Ford-class aircraft carrier battle group of the United States, but need a deterrent aircraft carrier formation that can exist as a regional maritime hegemon, with a total budget of no more than 12 billion meters of gold in procurement and a maintenance budget of 15 billion meters in the next 30 years.
So when Li Jianren said all this, the two representatives of the Chinese military began to fall into a wordless silence, after all, who doesn't want good things? A complete nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with supporting escort warships and fighter jets is what China can only dream of, especially when Li Jianren said that the arsenal ship would be sold as a supporting warship for the aircraft carrier battle group, Guo Jingguang was even more hesitant.
"Mr. Li, can we communicate with the above and give you a definite answer?" Guo Jingguang weighed the pros and cons of the matter in an embarrassed way, and it was obvious that even if he was the special liaison commissioner of the Central Committee, he would not be able to make a decision on such a major matter.
Li Jianren picked up the coffee in front of him with a relaxed face and took a sip casually, "Please." ”
"Wait a minute." Seeing that he had no opinion, Guo Jingguang reached out and pulled Xu Yanze beside him, and the two immediately got up and walked outside the conference room.
"Eh, if you change to an ordinary arms dealer, how dare you bargain with us like this!" As soon as he went out, Xu Yanze's suppressed anger in his heart couldn't help but explode.
He originally thought that these words would attract the approval of Guo Jingguang around him, after all, Li Jianren was too much of a score, this is just like Hua Guo begging him, although this is the case, but the face of a quasi-superpower still needs to be maintained, right? But the latter smiled wryly and shook his head, "How can an ordinary arms dealer sell you these things?" Dream on. ”
"Uh~" Xu Yanze choked for a moment, but quickly reacted, the latter was reminding him of Li Jianren's special identity, even if the other party insisted on not reaching this cooperation with Huaguo, he had no choice, and even returned to Yanjing, it was him, not the other party.
"Okay, work calmly, even if things fail, we will get nothing at most, but if we offend him, it will not be that simple." As one of the leaders behind this incident, Guo Jingguang attaches great importance to the long-term cooperation between the two sides, otherwise, he, a senior member who is about to be transferred from the local government to the National Defense Commission, would not have had to go to Xiangjiang to meet Li Jianren in person.
"Yes!" Xu Yanze is only a lieutenant colonel, but the latter is the deputy commander and chief of staff of the Western Theater, and he is about to be promoted to the head of the General Armament Department.
"Interesting, I originally thought it was someone from the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, but I didn't expect that he was one of the big guys who was about to replace him," as soon as the two of them went out, Li Jianren changed hands and got the exact identity investigation from where the gold coin, Xu Yanze's identity is no problem, a normal lieutenant colonel, but Guo Jingguang's identity is a little intriguing, such a big guy who is about to be transferred to Yanjing, ran to Xiangjiang to meet him in disguise, does this mean that Huaguo will carry out more extensive cooperation with himself in the next stage?
……
"That's pretty much it, and it's pretty much the same as the information we've gathered." In a secret room at the Peninsula Hotel, Guo Jingguang reported directly to Yanjing through satellite video he carried.
On the other side of the screen, a vice chairman of the National Defense Committee also nodded with the corresponding information, "In fact, we still have a great advantage, although Siam, India, and Russia have taken the initiative to join, but India is the first to be excluded, and the Russians may not have the courage to directly buy such a powerful fleet, and the rest is that we forced the Siamese to withdraw from the competition through secret means." ”
"What? Do you really want to buy out a complete aircraft carrier fleet? Guo Jingguang was a little stunned, didn't the decision before departure only decide to buy one or two arsenal ships and small warships carrying electromagnetic weapons for combat? It's only been a few days? The wind direction has changed above?! (To be continued.) )
