Hearing Wu Chen's words on this, Lin Qingyi knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, indeed, the construction of the Golden Triangle is a bottomless black hole, and there is not enough money to spend, and leasing nuclear submarines to foreign countries is also a way to relieve financial pressure, and he will not give in easily on this issue. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although China's foreign exchange reserves are becoming more and more relaxed year by year, there are many places where it needs to spend money, and it is impossible to invest all of them in naval construction, and the air force and army also need to add modern equipment.

At present, the cost of a modern attack nuclear submarine is about $22.3 billion for the US Virginia-class attack nuclear submarine, and the cost of the Russian Yasen-class attack nuclear submarine is about $17.8 billion.

The reason why the lease was changed to a buyout is to save a large amount of foreign exchange and use it to develop other project research. Even if Wu Chen set the price at only $200 million a year, and the Huaxia Navy only leased it for a ten-year period, it would cost $2 billion, and it would be possible to build a new type of nuclear submarine.

Wu Chen is very generous to the motherland, and has provided a large number of top-secret cutting-edge technologies in the past few years, but the price paid by Huaxia can only be described by two words: cheap, that is, based on this, the navy dares to make this kind of request, and wants to buy ten Victor-class Type III nuclear submarines at the reserve price.

With the current level of technology, with two billion dollars in hand, Huaxia will not be able to manufacture a nuclear submarine of the same level as the Victor-class attack nuclear submarine for the time being, which is why it wants to buy it directly, after all, Huaxia started for a short time, its industrial strength has not laid a solid foundation, and there is still a big gap between it and developed countries in terms of machinery and electronics.

"Wu Chen, you also know the actual situation in our China, the navy needs these nuclear submarines as a backbone of the transitional period, but military spending is very limited. You can show the psychological bottom line of the top of the mercenary army, and I'll see if the leaders can agree. Lin Qingyi said.

"There is no problem with the hull of the Viktor-class attack nuclear submarine, the special steel smelting and welding technology of the former Soviet Union, although it is worse than that of the United States, but the distance is not too far, the nuclear reactor and power equipment will be maintained by the Russian Navy, there is no need to think about this problem, so that one billion dollars can be obtained, and when the mercenary corps completes the upgrade, there is no 1.5 billion dollars to think about." Wu Chen smiled and said.

"A billion-dollar buyout, oh my God, you're asking for too much, aren't you? With the relationship between the mercenary corps and Russia, these nuclear submarines are at most $100 million, and you have directly increased it by nine times, which is outrageous, and the superiors will never agree, ten is 10 billion dollars, enough for us to build ten nuclear submarines. Lin Qingyi gasped.

"Outrageously expensive? Miss Lin Qingyi, are you mistaken? If you try it in other countries, who will buy such a weapon as a nuclear submarine to China, even if someone dares to sell it, will the US government sit idly by? The Viktor-class attack nuclear submarine is the active core strength of the Russian Navy, and if you take two billion dollars, people will not sell it to Huaxia! ”

"Also, leasing nuclear submarines is the main fund for the construction of the mercenary corps and the Golden Triangle Federation, and the high-level has never thought of buying out, which will lead to the loss of more than half of the benefits, and it is very rare for me to be able to offer this price, you are actually too expensive!"

"In fact, I have always believed that the Huaxia Navy does not need to buy these second-hand goods, independent innovation is the king, to accumulate experience and develop new technologies from practice, and master the most core cutting-edge fields, so that I can be the master and sell to Huaxia for research, then this price is very fair, plus the technical information and simple drawings of the Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine I provided, it is completely possible to build Huaxia's own nuclear submarine, what do you think?" Wu Chen said.

He also has his own difficulties, the United States and Russia can be very generous to sell mercenary nuclear submarines, even without money, but also to negotiate with money, because in the eyes of these big countries, mercenaries are a loose alliance pieced together because of interests, which may collapse at any time, and mercenaries only have money in their eyes, and there are no countries and nations.

But Huaxia is completely different, with the world's largest population, the economy is growing rapidly, and its strength is constantly skyrocketing, this is an ancient country that can wrestle with the multinational coalition in the North Korea, and even win, and the system is also intolerable to Western capitalist countries, once Huaxia masters the technology of manufacturing nuclear submarines, it will be a threat to the United States and Russia.

Park Jin respects Wu Chen very much and is willing to give as much convenience as possible within the scope of his power, but he also has his own bottom line, that is, to curb Huaxia's strength, if he really sells ten nuclear submarines at a time, not only the Russians will jump to their feet, but the Americans will also go crazy.

Wu Chen is the highest decision-maker of the Golden Triangle Federation and the controller of the mercenary legion, he will not only consider things from the personal side, and the complicated situation also restricts his hands and feet, once he is not thoughtful, it will bring a devastating blow to the mercenary legion.

Even without his appearance, Huaxia is still developing very well, accumulation is the king, step by step to accumulate experience to overcome difficulties, and when the technology matures and explodes, it will shock all countries in the world.

"After the study and decision of the superiors, according to the lease requirements of the mercenary corps, the Huaxia Navy will immediately sign a ten-year agreement with you to lease ten nuclear submarines and pay three billion dollars in rent. However, Huaxia hopes to pay on an annual basis, and the financial pressure to cash out the full amount in advance is too great, so please convince the senior management of the mercenary corps to be considerate of the difficulties from your neighbors. ”

"In addition, for the sake of everyone being a descendant of China, there are two conditions that you need to operate and arrange, first, the upgrading and transformation of nuclear submarines can not be carried out in Huaxia, but we must let our experts participate in this work, and secondly, the type of participation is not only the Victor-class attack nuclear submarine, but also the American Sturgeon-class attack nuclear submarine." To Wu Chen's surprise, the chiefs of the Huaxia Navy still chose the leasing method.

"I told you that with the fifth-generation attack nuclear submarine of the United States, that is, the Los Angeles-class, as a platform, plus the technology of the Victor-class attack nuclear submarine as a reference, it will definitely be able to create China's own latest nuclear submarine, according to the technical level, even if it is worse, it is equivalent to the fourth generation of developed countries, but why does the military have to spend such a big price to lease the second-generation nuclear submarine of the former Soviet Union?" Wu Chen didn't understand this.

"I understand your feelings, the chiefs have no way to do this, the technology of the Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine you provided is too high, and many core components cannot be built due to technical limitations, our third-generation attack nuclear submarine is actually similar to the second generation of the former Soviet Union, I mean the third type of the Victor-class. Therefore, the chiefs decided to directly use the third type of Victor-class attack nuclear submarines as the third-generation springboard for China, and later develop the fourth-generation nuclear submarines, that is, the fifth-generation level of the United States. Lin Qingyi said with a wry smile.
