Chapter 1476: Throwing Stones and Asking for Directions
Soon, the intelligence department, the intelligence officer in charge of smuggling transactions was called to the front of the high-level, although in the intelligence department, in charge of this secret thing, are rare young talents, but with these at least the minister, deputy minister level, in front of the whole of Britain can be called high-level personnel, they are really not enough to see, after knowing what they need to explain, they are also blind.

Although the secret channel is under their control, but the dominance is not theirs, China has the real dominance, what they are willing to give, at most it is only a little twists and turns, and eventually the thing will still come to their hands, if they are not willing to give something, sorry, those small favors and small favors pull the relationship, and suddenly turn their faces ruthlessly.
The experts found by the high-level gave such an answer, which could not satisfy the high-level in any case, but at this moment, they had a request for others, and there was no way to influence China, and after a simple discussion, they finally formed a unified plan, first to send a part of the order to China, the truck is impossible, then ask for the engine, the price can be slightly higher, see the reaction of the Chinese side.
Next, increase the volume of transactions, always increase the plan of the Land Cruiser to about 1,500 vehicles, if the deal fails, then join forces with the United States, with the help of the accumulation of the Land Cruiser Research Institute, and the United States to jointly develop a weapon, and strive to achieve most of the indicators of the Land Cruiser. Soon, an order was sent out, these orders were divided into different batches, starting from several channels, these are large and small, which are mixed with a lot of other bits and pieces, but the only thing that is the same is the engine, the total number of orders and engines is added together, there are almost 300 units, which is a step to throw bricks and stones.
Because it has not yet received a reply from the Chinese side, Britain has not spread the news to the United States and France, but is only prepared for both, and if China agrees, it will eat alone, and if it does not agree, then it can only cooperate with the United States.
At present, there are at least 100 secret channels in China, and they dump some of China's superior products into the world at higher prices and profits through different channels, and through these, they exchange for raw materials or precious metals, constantly increasing China's power.
Those intelligence officers are very experienced, and the materials that cooperate with the engine are not valued by the Chinese side, or it has no impact on all aspects, and can only make money, but the engine is different, it is also a control product for China, one or two, maybe it will not attract China's attention, but the data collected from various channels, and even 300 units, the level of alarm is getting higher and higher.
Trucks up to now, China still has exports, the largest export direction is in Germany, Germany ate the sweetness of trucks, began to import a large number of goods, now Germany, not only has a railway network extending in all directions, the highway network has also been basically formed, the convenience of the highway and the perfect combination of trucks, the formation of the current pattern of Germany, the waterway has been because of the war, retreated to a rather inconspicuous extent, the linkage of highways and railways, has become the main method of logistics transportation.
Because of this, one or two engines that first passed through secret channels did not attract the attention of the responsible personnel, who thought that maybe there was a problem with the trucks in other countries and needed to replace the engines, but when the number increased, the person in charge saw the problem. For trucks, the export of the whole vehicle is very normal, but the purchase of engines is too few, all are high-power engines, 120 horsepower as the basis, and even want to seek 150, or even higher horsepower diesel engines, which is quite unusual, the most important thing is that this number is too much, actually reached 300 units, this is not a small number.
In the field of power, because of the emergence of Yang Yuanzhao, it is the whole of China, the most outstanding thing, in a sense, the engine directly gave birth to China's industrial development, such a thing, of course, can not spread casually, especially for the enemy country, although the British side, with the help of a lot of shells, around a lot of bends, but China's strength in intelligence, far from Britain can be discovered, maybe one or two lists, because of the insensitivity of the low-level intelligence personnel and hidden, However, most of the smuggling channels had to be summarized in the intelligence department and handed over to the top level for procurement, and when the total number of countless lists exceeded a certain limit, they were immediately exposed.
First of all, a huge number of engine lists, which is very unusual for China at present, and then follow the list to search, China's powerful intelligence capabilities, here is undoubtedly displayed, and soon, most of the intentions of the British side entered the field of vision of the intelligence bureau, and it was finally clear.
The British side bought a large number of engines, this information to the intelligence analysis department, immediately someone analyzed, will it be the British side of the capacity to increase, the need for trucks, they have no possibility to buy finished vehicles, copycat Chinese trucks, through the import of engines, the formation of a considerable capacity.
This is a plausible approach, but there are doubts, and it is even quickly overturned, because this channel is more secretive and numerous, and in this case, it is impossible to mobilize this channel, and it is not of much benefit to Britain.
Some intelligence officers put it forward, test it, ask the British appetite through secret channels, when some specious news, through certain areas, into the hands of British intelligence officers, when it was discovered that it was possible to get more engines, those British intelligence officers who knew about it were immediately carried away, and the number began to increase, asking for 500-1000 sets, the money is easy to say, and it can even be higher than the previous price, through secret channels, the price of engines began to rise, from the original reasonable price, has risen to a rather outrageous level.
The discount makes the intelligence department a little confused, what does Britain want to do, this huge number of engines, the purchase price is more than 4 times higher than the retail price in China, so the engine, the profit margin is extremely high, almost more than 95%, so the profit, almost more than the export of the whole vehicle, and it is all cash or gold, which is not something that can be given up casually for China, after all, the export of this, the profit margin can even be compared with medicine.
If there really aren't too many problems, selling things is a very good business, and this has become the consensus of the intelligence department, and money can make ghosts grind, that's what it's about. However, Shi Lei is also a steady one, he suddenly remembered that the power laboratory, a national laboratory, has always been in charge of Yang Yuanzhao himself, perhaps, the deep meaning of the British side, he can't understand it, Yang Yuanzhao should be able to give an explanation.
Under the control of Shi Lei, in the end, this purchase intention was handed over to Yang Yuanzhao to see, but in the report to Yang Yuanzhao, the unanimous opinion of the intelligence department was still given, China is in the blockade, most of the exports are medicines, silk fabrics and other completely irreplaceable products, mechanical production is basically digested by the country, if you figure out why this engine is being purchased, as long as it does not affect the overall situation, it is acceptable.
For such a long time, although Shi Lei has been on the intelligence front, he has also seen a lot of things, industrial production is China's top priority, after steel becomes an engine, the industrial added value does not know how much the stand-in has, the total value of this batch is not too high in China's huge economic system, but the meaning of the representation is different, as long as the number is sufficient, it may become the third system to support China.
The price of the engine has always been not low, the engine in the whole vehicle, generally occupies about 15%, according to the export price of the truck on the Chinese side is about 1500 US dollars, the price of the engine is 200 US dollars, the British side gave 4 times the price, that is, 800 US dollars, the total number of 800,000, it is not on Yang Yuanzhao's desk at all, that is, Shi Lei's insistence, plus considering Yang Yuanzhao's direction in scientific research, this was given to Yang Yuanzhao.
When receiving Shi Lei's report, Yang Yuanzhao was stunned for a moment at first, and then couldn't help laughing, Britain still developed this in the middle of the war, and even because China's engine performance is very good, it actually thought of buying it from China, or in a secret channel. Even if there is no leading report from the intelligence agency, just see the engine, he will understand, what the British want to do, the day the tank came out was during the First World War, it was the British who found that during the First World War, the trench warfare between the two sides, the losses were too great, so that Britain could not afford it, this was developed, the engine used at that time, less than 80 horsepower, it seems that after China exported the truck to the world, let them see the opportunity, directly dismantled the truck development, and this batch of things, I am afraid that it appeared for the tank.
This can prove the fundamental reason why the other side does not hesitate to buy the engine at 4 times the price, if it is for the truck, with the current road situation in Britain and Europe, the truck does not have such an anti-natural effect, it is impossible to buy it now, and only the emergence of the sharp weapon tank of the trench warfare is worth spending so much to buy the engine before.
Thinking of this, Yang Yuanzhao knocked on the table gently, although he had already guessed what Britain wanted to do, but this result was too unbelievable, and it was not easy to convince Shi Lei of them, it seems that it would be better to try it again, in a sense, if it is placed on the tank, the price of 4 times is still a little too low.
