Chapter 1708 Never take others for fools

"Of course, it is not in our interest to let the Americans achieve their wishes so easily; However, we can't let the Iraqis get too many opportunities, these people, the typical kicking of the nose in the face, give them three points of dye, he dares to open a dye shop, of course, at the same time, at the same time, we must not overstimulate the Americans, to prevent the Americans from jumping over the wall when they see that they want to be extinct, to strike a balance between these three forces, is it not easy. Zhang Lan put her hands behind her back, frowned, and paced slowly in the office.

Will listened respectfully to Zhang Lan's words, and deeply agreed with Zhang Lan's words: Aren't these Iraqis just the characters who dare to open a dye shop by kicking their noses and giving them three points of dye, if they weren't so brainless, how could this group of guys make such a naïve and crazy move?

Zhang Lan didn't notice Will's expression, he was completely immersed in his own thoughts, he was carefully pondering how to deal with this matter, and was lowering his head and muttering, "If you want to help the Iraqis, this is naturally certain, but you can't let them eat enough, the whole group of white-eyed wolves that can't be raised, just let them eat half full; As for the Americans, they need to be carefully calculated. ”

What to do? Zhang Lan had a headache.

He was not worried about how to transport these things in, but how to reach a tacit understanding with the Americans: In any case, the whole of Iraq also has a population of more than 20 million, and even if it is necessary to ensure the food of one million people, it is still an unusually huge number, and the transportation of such a huge amount of materials is naturally not as good as just transporting some simple weapons, and it is naturally impossible to hide from the Americans' intelligence systems all over the world, and the only way is to reach a certain compromise with the Americans on this matter.

But it is not easy to reach a compromise with the Americans on this matter

The Americans, especially the Bush family, can be said to hate Saddam Hussein to the core, and when they saw the hope of killing Saddam, they stuck a stick in it, and wanted to make Bush Jr. submit without sufficient deterrence capability? It's a dream

"Young Master, or I can think of a way." Zhang Lan had a sad face, and Will, who understood why Zhang Lan was worried, couldn't help but say to Zhang Lan.

"Oh?" Zhang Lan was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief, "Really?" ”

"Really," Will nodded solemnly.

"Can you tell me about your plans?" Zhang Lan was a little curious, he didn't think that others couldn't solve the problem he couldn't solve, but he was a little curious, this guy Will wouldn't not understand the difficulty of this matter, since he knew that the difficulty of this matter was not ordinary, then Will still dared to pack a ticket to himself like this, Zhang Lan was really a little curious, what can this guy do?

"This ...... Young master, can I keep the method secret for the time being? Will said to Zhang Lan, his expression looking a little embarrassed.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." Knowing that Will is not a guy who speaks unreliable, Zhang Lan thought for a while, nodded very happily, and agreed with Will's approach.

I don't know what Will is going to do, but since this guy seems to be very sure, let's leave it to him, anyway, as long as Will can solve the problem, these things don't matter.

Seeing that Zhang Lan agreed to his request without saying a word, a trace of gratitude flashed in Will's eyes and he nodded heavily

What the hell is this guy going to do? Looking at Will's back, a trace of curiosity passed through Zhang Lan's heart.

――

Not to mention how Will plans to deal with the crisis in Iraq, for Zhang Lan, this is just over the New Year, and a new problem in front of him begins to make him feel very headache.

"These guys, their appetite is really big enough" pinched his eyebrows slightly, Zhang Lan couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

"Ship electromagnetic cannon?" Xiao Chenxi glanced at the contents of the paper, and couldn't help but exclaim

"Hmm." Zhang Lan smiled bitterly and nodded.

The electromagnetic cannon, the whole legendary weapon, even the United States, is only just engaged in research now, and even the most basic laboratory samples have not been made, but now, this power of attorney is placed on the desk of the core of the Alice Group.

Since the military has fearless sacrifice and courage, it has resisted the thought in its heart that it is a wronged leader, and purchased 10 electromagnetic sniper rifles from the Alice Group Group, but through the actual test, it was surprised to find that this kind of thing, if applied, its power is definitely not lower than that of small deterrent equipment, and if it is applied properly, it can even have a fundamental reversal of a war.

The whole result made the military top brass stunned, but also couldn't help but be ecstatic

Following this line of thought, the military top brass rarely diverged a trace of thinking: If this sniper rifle is enlarged, it will not be an electromagnetic cannon.

According to the results of their calculations, the minimum range of an electromagnetic cannon is 200 kilometers, which is even more than the strike distance of most missiles.

Similarly, on the premise of ensuring the fleet's air supremacy, if there is a large warship in the fleet equipped with as many dense electromagnetic gun barrels as the battleships of World War II, wouldn't its strike power on the ground be much greater than that of an aircraft carrier formation? And in terms of cost-effectiveness, the cost-effectiveness ratio of this thing is obviously much more effective than equipping a complete aircraft carrier group.

Similarly, if a fleet is equipped with extended-range artillery shells, the range of more than 200 kilometers can quickly exceed 300-400 kilometers...... I'm afraid that any aircraft carrier group may not be able to withstand the Aegis? After this war, it was probably only a sieve.

Although there are still various shortcomings in the practical application of this thing, there is no doubt that the emergence of electromagnetic guns, the change of modern military combat methods, and even the subversion of hot weapons to cold weapons Zhang Lan can already imagine that if Alice Group can really study the large electromagnetic railgun for ships, it will produce first-class changes in naval operations and even the entire land, sea, air, space, and electromagnetic emerging five-dimensional combat methods

Xiao Chenxi naturally understood all this, so the little girl was also shocked

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Chenxi's voice sounded a little trembling, "If you really plan to give your country this thing, I don't dare to guarantee what the outcome will be in the end." ”

Zhang Lan smiled bitterly and shook her head, "I don't dare to guarantee this...... In any case, I don't want to be the one to open Pandora's box. ”

You don't want to open it, but I'm afraid I can't help you. Xiao Chenxi looked at Zhang Lan, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and she murmured in her heart and said with some sadness.

"I see what they mean." Zhang Lan's eyes suddenly lit up, and there was already a sneer on his face

"You see what they mean?" Xiao Chenxi was stunned for a moment, "What do they mean?" ”

"Do you think it's so easy to sell them the more technical and powerful electromagnetic sniper rifles, since they know that we even sell them a handful of electromagnetic sniper rifles?"

"Of course not." Xiao Chenxi subconsciously replied, "Of course they know that this thing is the technical trump card in our hands, and it is something in our hands that looks after the family, how can it be so easy to sell it to them?" ”

"In that case," Zhang Lan smiled coldly, "according to our tradition of trading with them in the past, if there is something that we can't or won't sell to them, what do we usually do?" ”

"How? Usually, we compensate them in other ways. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Chenxi felt that a lightning bolt suddenly crossed his heart, and he suddenly realized that all the fog disappeared at this moment, and the thoughts in his heart suddenly blurted out, "Sure enough, they didn't think that they could definitely get the technology of the electromagnetic cannon from us, they fought the compromise technology we gave them, yes, understand, that's it"

He shook his silver teeth gently and asked, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

"What to do? I will let them know that they made a mistake in their little abacus this time, and we Alice Group can let them calculate" Zhang Lan smiled coldly, and looked at the north through the sky.

They miscalculated the young master, can anyone calculate?

Will he say yes? At the same time, in the capital, a general with three gold stars on his shoulders frowned, thinking bitterly in his heart, he was really not sure whether the other party could agree.

After careful analysis by experts, everyone recognized the power of this weapon in modern warfare, and even some experts asserted that if the technology of the electromagnetic cannon can really mature enough to be able to formally equip the troops, then it will cause a new military change on a worldwide scale specific to our country, perhaps China can take this opportunity to get rid of the current embarrassing position in the military in one fell swoop.

However, the outlook is good, but the question is, in reality, will Alice Group agree? In addition, an assessment made by experts is that if a destroyer equipped with electromagnetic guns as its main weapon, the cost will not be lower than the price of a large and medium-sized aircraft carrier, and the cost of its later maintenance and upkeep will also be astronomical

Is it cost-effective to spend such a high price just to build a destroyer? With the increasing demand of the domestic people for aircraft carriers, with this money, it is completely possible to build a large and medium-sized aircraft carrier fleet.

This issue has also become two opinions that have been hotly debated by the military top level for some time now.

Everything is a brand new problem for this country, and the huge benefits contained in it also make the heads of this country, which have had inexplicable internal friction since ancient times, blush.

For these two groups, it is good that the Alice Group can agree, but if they do not, according to the tradition of the Alice Group, they will also compensate themselves in other ways. Anyway, I earned it.

But Minister Liang wondered in his heart, why did he always have a heart-pounding feeling in his heart, as if something bad was about to happen?

After looking at the subordinates who were in a good mood and were chatting and laughing with their colleagues, the uneasiness in Minister Liang's heart calmed down a little, but that uneasiness was like a dark cloud in the sky, thick and dense there, and it never dissipated.

The guard walked in quickly with a piece of paper.

Minister Liang's heart began to pound: what kind of reply will the Zhang family make?

What will the Alice Group respond to? The senior officers, who were also waiting for this reply, also looked at the folder in the hand of the guard who came in.

After taking the document from the guard's hand, Minister Liang suddenly felt that the folder in his hand seemed to be a little unable to open it

At the same time, Minister Liang suddenly felt that the uneasiness in his heart was even more obvious. Could it be ...... Minister Liang was startled in his heart, and hurriedly pressed down the year that came out of his heart, but he didn't want the uneasiness in his heart to become more and more obvious, the thump of his heart beating violently seemed to sound in his ears, and the huge sound was like a huge war drum in his ears

Gently, but like carrying a statue of the heavens, Minister Liang stretched out his hand to the document with difficulty and slowly opened it, but at the same time, the uneasiness in his heart became heavier and heavier

Slowly opened the folder, inside, a few lines of black letters on a piece of white paper met Minister Liang's eyes: Alice Group did not conduct research on electromagnetic guns, and after a rigorous assessment, it was believed that this weapon would have a huge impact on world peace and stability, and decided not to develop electromagnetic guns in a short period of time.

Contrary to their expectations, there was not a single mention of how to compensate for the lack of development of an electromagnetic gun

Minister Liang pinched the piece of paper and couldn't help but be stunned: How could this be? Why is this the case

All the senior officers who saw the content of Alice's transmission were also stunned: how could this be? Why is this the case

A note was slowly drawn out of it, fluttering and falling to the ground, and the sharp-eyed guy saw what was written on the paper at a glance: Don't treat others as fools, Zhang family, don't be humiliated

What does that mean? Everyone was stunned

Minister Liang's heart was full of bitterness: was the uneasiness in his heart finally verified?

The handwriting on the note, at this time, slowly disappeared.

"Mr. Bush, we at the Alice Group don't want to see the Iraqi government go out of business right now." Will said bluntly to George W. Bush.

"Why?" George W. Bush forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart, and asked Will with a calm face, which could even be called polite, "Mr. Will, can you tell me a reason?" ”

However, despite his calm expression, Bush Jr.'s heart was full of anger When he received the news that Will was going to visit him, Bush Jr. had a faint bad premonition, but he didn't expect his premonition to become a reality so soon, and this guy Will, who actually came up and told himself, that he didn't want to see the Iraqi government fall now

Doesn't this bastard know about the feud between the Bush family and that damned Saddam? Bush Jr. screamed wildly in his heart, but despite the fury in his heart, the expression on Bush Jr.'s face was still very calm...... This is a quality that a good politician must have. ,

"The reason is simple, some of our Alice Group's layout in Iraq is not ready, and we still need some time." Will said bluntly.

“……”

Bush Jr. was silent for a while, taking advantage of the stalemate between the US Government and the Iraqi Government for a while, the Alice Group used its powerful strength to make some deals with the Iraqi Government, and naturally could not conceal it from the US intelligence system; according to the information compiled by these intelligence systems, the Alice Group had traded about 100,000 tons of wheat, corn, and other grains with the Saddam Hussein Government in the recent period, although it could not help the Iraqi Saddam Government solve their food crisis. But it can help them temporarily alleviate the problems they are experiencing.

The Alice Group has helped the Iraqi government so semi-openly, and the United States and the government have not made any moves, so they are naturally concerned about the strength of the Alice Group, and they also understand that the Alice Group must do this for some purpose, and it is also a signal to the US government and several major American consortia.

What exactly are they going to do? Before figuring out the true schematic diagram of the Alice Group, and without waiting for the contact of the Alice Group, according to the above meaning, Bush Jr. chose to acquiesce and ignore.

Now, he finally waited for the people of the Alice Group to come and explain the matter themselves.

"Why?" After about a minute of silence, George W. Bush asked again.

"Oil." Will was blunt about his purpose and appetite, "Alice Group must ensure that it has enough strength and presence in the Middle East. ”

"So...... What would Alice Group want to see? Bush Jr.'s eyes flashed and he asked Will.

"A democratic and free Iraq and the Middle East are what all of us peace-loving people want to see, and we can help those who pose a threat to peace and democracy if they fail to recognize the power of democracy and freedom." Will's voice carried a naked murderous aura.

"I need time for this." George W. Bush frowned and gave an answer.

"No problem." Will smiled and nodded, knowing that his plan had largely succeeded.
