Gao Yang snuffed out the cigarette and shook his head slightly and said, "At this price, it's impossible." I'm rich, but I'm not a fool! The George V class was only 1.94 million pounds when it was built, and now it has been in service for more than ten years, and you still want to sell it to me at cost price? Does your government want to use these 3 old ships to make money back from me on the cost of building Nelson-class battleships? Mr. Minister, you're not talking about business anymore, you're ripping off customers. ”

Sir Ma Ke also knew in his heart that this price was pure nonsense, and said with some embarrassment in his cigar, "Mr. Gao, you will get the friendship of the British Empire in this arms purchase!" ”

Gao Yang smiled again, coughed lightly and said with a smile, "Okay, Mr. Minister, let's talk about business, friendship or something, let's talk about it when we have a celebration reception." ”

Sir Make's eyes trembled slightly, and he skimmed his beard and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Gao, you must know that only the Royal Navy can meet your order on this planet now!" ”

Gao Yang said with a strange expression, "Really? Yes, that's right. There are quite a lot of second-hand old goods in the Royal Navy. Lin Jianzhang on the side couldn't help laughing out loud when they heard it.

Sir Mack's face stiffened slightly, but the professionalism of the diplomat allowed him to suppress the anger in his heart. relieved his mood, and said with a serious face, "Mr. Gao, I have just said that everything can be discussed!" Don't you Chinese have an old saying called asking for a price to pay back? ”

"Oh? Landing to pay back? Okay, I'll make a counteroffer! Gao Yang's face was straight, and his smile was slightly cold, which made everyone's hearts tighten.

Gao Yang tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said in a deep voice, "3 existing George V-class battleships, 3 Birmingham-class cruisers, HMS Birmingham, USS Loostoft and USS Adelaide. The Sannik Rov destroyers lead the ship Spencer, the R destroyers Intruder, R-type destroyers, Rowena, Irritation, Strict, Robroy, Sable, Salmon, Sturgeon. All boats have to go back to the shipyard for a major overhaul and maintenance! There are also maintenance lines for these ships, parts for the main engine. Spare barrels for battleships 3 copies, cruisers and destroyers 6 copies. There are also production lines for various types of shells and torpedoes, as well as all the design drawings! Gao Yang finished speaking in one breath, and a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly: "All of these add up, and I will pay 6 million pounds." ”

Sir Mack felt himself dizzy, and his beards trembled violently from his excitement.

Staring at Gao Yang with dead eyes, he gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Mr. Gao, you just said that we British people are the best at doing business. Now I give it back, you're the most businessman I've ever met! ”

3 cruisers, 1 destroyer lead ship, and 8 destroyers cost a million pounds. Not to mention those main engine spare parts, so many gun barrels, as well as maintenance equipment and production lines for various shells, and even design drawings! A lot of things can't be bought with money!

Gao Yang showed a smile on his face and said lightly, "Mr. Minister, in your words, everything can be discussed." ”

Sir Ma Ke choked on Gao Yang's words, his face was red and white for a while, and he was speechless. Gao Yang tapped lightly on the table and looked at him quietly, waiting for his answer. Everyone around him held their breath and did not dare to speak.

After half a ring, Sir Maks finally relented. looked at Gao Yang with a serious face and said, "Mr. Gao, you have to know that many of the things you said can't be bought with money!" ”

Gao Yang pouted indifferently and said with a smile: "Mr. Minister, most of these ships I am talking about are ready to be scrapped by the Royal Navy!" Now I am willing to spend a lot of pounds to buy these warships that are going to be sold as scrap metal, and your government can get pounds, and the Royal Navy can free up the tonnage of new ships! Your government and Royal Navy should be grateful to me! Instead of slaughtering me like a fat sheep! ”

After a pause, with a disdainful expression on his face, he continued in a cold tone: "As for the things you said that can't be sold, I really don't know what you can't sell?" You have these things, and the Americans have them! If your government is not willing to sell it, I don't mind going to the United States to buy these things! I guess the Americans should be very welcome, right? ”

Sir Ma Ke was stunned, what Gao Yang said was right. These are not very secret things, and Americans can make them. If Gao Yang gave up this military purchase and went to the Americans to buy it, I wonder if the generals of the Royal Navy, who were anxiously waiting for their good news in the Admiralty in London, would swallow themselves?

Sir Mack took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, muttering something to his lips. He sighed helplessly in his heart, raised his head and looked at Gao Yang and said, "Mr. Gao, there is no problem with these boats you want, and the price is negotiable." As for the lines of various spare parts and repairs, as well as the production lines of shells and torpedoes, I will have to ask London for instructions in order to give you an answer! But I don't think it's a big problem if you're willing to pay a little extra pound. But those drawings"

Gao Yang waved his hand and said with a smile: "I don't want the drawings." "For Gao Yang, the drawings don't matter at all. When he returns to the modern plane, it will be easy to make the origin spend energy points to copy, or spend money to buy it. After all, they are all techniques from the First World War, and there is no need to keep them secret in modern time and space!

When Sir Mak heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. For him, he really can't let go of such a large military purchase order! It can't be taken away by the Americans!

Sir Makor picked up his cigar again, and said to Gao Yang with a smile: "Mr. Gao, there are many excellent warships in the Royal Navy that are about to be forced to retire because of the damn Washington Naval Treaty!" If you are still interested in which warship, please let me know, everything is negotiable. ”

Gao Yang smiled faintly and didn't speak, just took out a cigarette, and Lin Jianzhang, who was sitting next to him, said, "Huh." He stood up and picked up the lighter on the table to light Gao Yang's cigarette in the surprised eyes of everyone! Lin Jianzhang's hand holding the lighter trembled slightly. How many years have passed, and the Chinese Navy is finally going to have a big ship!

Du Xiqi immediately understood what Lin Jianzhang meant. Although the two of them are facing each other in the Admiralty, it is now clear that they need to stand on the same line. Du Xiqi hurriedly got up and picked up the water cup in front of Gao Yang, and trotted to the side to add water to Gao Yang.

After gently placing the water cup in front of Gao Yang, he stood beside Gao Yang with Lin Jianzhang and stared at Gao Yang with hot eyes!

Gao Yang shook his head helplessly, he understood what the navy meant, the two generals hoped that he could buy more ships! Now I bought ships with the British because I was in time for the Washington Naval Arms Treaty, and a large number of warships of the British were going to be scrapped! However, you can't buy a strong navy just by buying it!

Gao Yang stretched out his hand and rubbed his brows, what should I do? Why don't you take advantage of this opportunity to buy more warships? Or do you build your own shipyard and slowly build your own? Gao Yang felt a little confused.

"What you should pay attention to is the current threat! Instead of thinking about what will happen in 10 or 20 years! Origin suddenly said in his mind.

"Huh? What do you mean? Gao Yang asked with a puzzle in his heart. First of all, after the news of your boat purchase spreads, your reputation in China will soar! At least the navy will basically throw itself into your arms, and your image in the minds of the countrymen will immediately become taller! This will be of great help to you in accomplishing the task of unifying China. After the ship is bought, you can arrange a large number of biochemical warriors to be sailors on the ship to help you master this fleet, and I don't need to say more about how important a strong navy is in a war, right? Secondly, do you remember the mission that broke the naval armaments treaty and contributed to the early appearance of the Yamato-class battleships of the Japanese Navy? ”

"Huh? Ah, I'm dizzy, I've forgotten about it, and here's it! Gao Yang rubbed his forehead and thought for a moment, and finally remembered.

Origin continued, "Who is the direct threat to your expansion of the navy?" It's the Japanese, and the more you make a noise, the more likely it is that the Japanese will refuse to sign the London Naval Treaty in a few years! Even the likelihood of their direct withdrawal from the Washington Naval Treaty will increase significantly. You know, there are many energy points in the Japanese. Finally, I want to ask you, what are you worried about? Even if you want to develop your country's shipbuilding industry, using your own warships is not in conflict with buying warships now? How long will it take for you to build a shipyard and use your own warships? Do you want to buy a warship in the modern time and space and bring it to use? What do you think is the chance that this kind of large-scale arms purchase will expose you? Or are you reluctant to spend money? Is money an important thing to you now? The power points you need! Your business is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more eyes on you, and information blocking is not a panacea! Sooner or later, your use of black technology will be exposed! What are you going to do then? You can travel to this space yourself, but your parents, relatives, friends, and your prettiest little crystal! What do they do? Have you thought about it? Your only chance is to get more power points and craft enough out-of-age weapons to protect yourself and your family! Everything else is just the way to go! ”

The long words of the origin made Gao Yang feel empowered! Gao Yang, who has been stimulated by his sudden wealth, has finally woken up!

The army, territory, power, money and nothing in this time and space matter, because Gao Yang's family and lover are not here!

What Gao Yang has to do in this time and space is to get as many energy points as possible on the premise of helping China rise! Then, back in modern time and space, use energy points to create advanced weapons beyond the era to protect your family and lovers! This was already doomed when Gao Yang obtained the origin!
