Chapter 377: What to Do with These People?
Now these guys who have just been clicked to their home address by Cage are tightly shut and don't speak, compared to retaliating against others, it is obviously more important to save their own lives first. Don't blame us for being afraid of death, who in this world is not afraid of death? Who let us be in a capitalist country, the essence of capital is extreme greed and selfishness, isn't it? If your own safety is not guaranteed, then it is better not to say anything else.
In the face of such a naked threat, no one dared to say anything, although some people muttered softly: "One day I want you to see it!" But no one dared to say it out loud. In the face of the threat of death with absolute strength, no words or actions are weak.
When it is the state that needs to pay the price for something, and if it opposes it, it is a small life, and no one will put forward any contrary opinions at this time.
"There is no need to discuss the first point, I suggest that you still directly adopt the second opinion," Cage's gentle voice continued, stopping in everyone's ears and couldn't help but have a feeling like a spring breeze, but the words that came out of Cage's gentle mouth made these fat congressmen can't help but be shocked, "In addition, we have given an estimate of everything on your three warships, including the warships themselves, if you need to redeem everything, One and a half billion dollars are needed! ”
"Fifty-five billion dollars?" Finally, someone couldn't help but exclaim, "Isn't it 10 billion dollars?" Even if we buy completely new equipment and weapons, it will only be a little more than 10 billion dollars! ”
"Of course I know this," Cage's tone was a little regretful, and if he listened carefully, there seemed to be a hint of a smile in his tone, "Actually, I originally planned to only need 10 billion dollars, but the words of some of you gentlemen made me feel very unhappy, so now the price has increased." ”
"The price has gone up?" This guy couldn't help but ask, "Then it can't go up so much, right?" All of a sudden, it went up by 50 percent! ”
"This gentleman." Cage's voice was still not arrogant, "Although this price is a bit expensive, you must know that these three warships can be put into use immediately after you take them back." And it does not need to go through a long adaptation period like a newly launched warship to form combat effectiveness. If it is the construction of a new aircraft carrier, it will take at least five years from launching to sea trials to the formation of combat effectiveness, and this does not include the time for the construction of the aircraft carrier, if you count this time. You guys need longer! It may seem like an extra $5 billion, but how much time will you save for it? And how much convenience will it bring to your global strategy? Have you thought about all these things? After a pause, Cage continued to talk to himself, "Well, if you still don't agree now, I can't guarantee that there will be a price increase in the future!" ”
Ahem, to be honest, these guys really haven't thought about these things, and now the problem is. It's useless to think about it, although Cage's tone sounds like a gentleman, but if you look at what this guy does, the words that can be associated with this guy seem to be only Satan.
"In addition, we have also ensured the normal operation of these three warships of yours for such a long time, so it should be acceptable to include a part of the storage and maintenance fees in these five billion dollars, right?" Cage's words were completely discussed, but if anyone believes that Cage is really discussing with himself. Then this guy could have gone buy a piece of bread and crashed to death: brain-dead! It's strange that this guy is consulting with you!
Since Cage said so, and there was a previous threat, what else can we say? Everyone present was silent, acquiescing in Cage's shameless blackmail, though they themselves had done it often before. But blackmailing others is one thing, being blackmailed is another, blackmailing others is very cool, but if it is the turn of others to blackmail themselves, that feeling is quite unpleasant! Especially when I was blackmailed, I could only look at myself so powerlessly, that feeling. It's especially unpleasant!
"How? Does anyone still oppose the conditions I put forward before? Cage asked very well, as if he was really asking for everyone's opinions, "If you have an opinion, you can say it, don't hold it in your heart, I am still a very democratic person, there is something we can all discuss, how do you know what you think if you don't say it?" ”
Yes, that's right! Yes, it is negotiable. You're also very democratic, some people muttered in their hearts, but if I were to believe you, it would really be called a ghost! Although it was discussed with us, if we didn't agree, it would be a missile! We can't afford this kind of democracy, so you should be dictatorial. The guys who take your word for it are all some mallets!
"Hmm," he said, watching as the guys all bowed their heads one by one. Apparently Cage was very satisfied with the reaction of these guys in the US Congress, "Of the extra five billion dollars, the price of it will be converted into two planes that we rent, well, just a C-5 'Galaxy' and a C-17 'Globemaster' heavy transport plane, and then we can directly load the things we need into these two planes, and send them directly to your air base in Dhahran in Saudi Arabia along with the planes." Well, if two planes can't fit, then three, three if it doesn't work, just four, just deduct the rent from it, don't worry about the money, we will still pay the rent, you should trust our credit. By the way, remember to ask for the latest ones, and don't fool me with the old ones that have been retired and may fall apart at any time when they fly in the sky. As for these heavy transport aircraft, you can rest assured, we will return them to you when they run out, and you can still rest assured of our reputation. It's good to borrow it, maybe we'll borrow a plane from you next time. ”
Trust you guys? Trust you, then we're the biggest gavel! Some people slandered in their hearts: These planes got over, and it wasn't meat buns beating dogs? But there are also those who are sure in their hearts: if these planes want to fly, they need to at least take off from Saudi Arabia's Dhahran Air Base, right? As long as the planes can take off, these big guys are not like fighter planes that can fly at an altitude of 50 meters, and when the time comes, you will use satellites to monitor where these planes are flying, and you will know where these guys' rat holes are hiding?
As long as you know where they are, it won't be easy to kill them when the time comes? Secretly sent two F-117s and dropped two precision-guided bombs, and all problems were solved.
This idea is not only shared by one person, but even by many people, and some people are even secretly rejoicing in their hearts: how could these guys make such a low-level mistake? really responds to the famous saying: you can't blame the society for your back!
These guys know this problem, and Cage naturally knows what these guys are thinking in their hearts, but he naturally has a way to deal with it, so why should he tell them? Just let them be stupid and self-righteous.
"Okay," seemed to see that everyone present had no opinion, "since everyone has no opinion, then go and go separately, calculate how much you should pay us after buying all these things, and then put the money into the account I gave you before." Also, hurry up and raise the equipment we need, tell you, you only have a month to operate this thing, I will keep an eye on you at all times, if I find out that you are planning to do something in the equipment we need, plan to shoddy, or simply remove the core components or something, don't blame me for not announcing it in advance, and don't blame us for being unkind. Get this done and let's have a great Christmas together. ”
Cage is really afraid that these guys have done something to himself, so he has to state in advance that if these guys move on key parts, even if it is just to change the material, then his hard work for so long will be in vain. I believe that with this threat, these guys should not forget one thing: no matter what happens, in the eyes of a qualified politician, their own life is always greater than the interests of the country.
One month is enough for these guys to raise all the things that Zhang Lan needs, and enough for these guys to do everything.
It's not that no one has thought of doing something to show that the United States is not going to be stupid and slaughtered there, but under Cage's direct threat of death and the seemingly occasional reminder that they want to do something, all of these guys have chosen to retreat without exception. Politicians are all the same, in their hearts, it is the least cost-effective thing to put their own lives on the line for the country.
At this point, the matter can be regarded as a happy conclusion, as long as the ransom is paid, he can get back the three warships and all the weapons and equipment on them.
It's just that these people seem to have forgotten, not only these equipment, but also more than 1,500 people on these three warships, from beginning to end, Cage hasn't said how to count these people, whether they are given away for free or do they need to be redeemed with money? This is still a problem.
How to deal with these guys, Zhang Lan still doesn't have a suitable plan, and the development of things at the very beginning is beyond his original expectations: who would have thought that he would be able to get a heavy aircraft carrier loaded with all kinds of weapons, ammunition and aircraft? Who would have thought that you would be able to get a main attack nuclear submarine in active service in the United States? Who would have thought that even the United States would be able to get the Aegis missile destroyer, which has only been in service for a little more than three years?
