Chapter Eighty-Seven: Selling Arms Makes Money
"Congratulations to the master, the Red Police Base has been officially upgraded to Level 3 after ten days of stability. Now you can build Replication Centers and Tech Centers. The mechanical voice of Beidou No. 1 sounded in Wang Lin's head.
Wang Lin nodded silently, and immediately ordered Huang Wei in a unique way, asking him to immediately build a replication center and a science and technology center, although the things in the Red Alert cannot be used as the mainstream of the future world, but the things in it can become the mainstream, that is to say, from now on, Wang Lin's scientific and technological strength has stood at the peak of the world, at least in the next few decades, no one will surpass him, although his current scientific and technological strength is not weak.
Wang Lin is currently in Hainan, and has been staying in Hainan since the split in talks with the British side more than 10 days ago; in addition to paying attention to the Red Police base, Wang Lin is also particularly concerned about his own armored forces, as well as the current situation outside. Armored forces, at the moment can be said to be equipped without soldiers.
After half a year of expansion, Hualong Military Industry has successfully doubled its production scale, and now has 20 rifle production lines and 30 bullet production lines, and the rest of the equipment workshops have also doubled the equipment scale. At the same time, the main task of the tank factory is not just to produce trucks, but to produce tanks, that is, the Type 95 tank finalized in 1935 in the previous life, commonly known as the Peeding tank.
In the face of this kind of light weight, high speed, and good combat distance tank, the only drawback is that the armor is too weak, but it doesn't matter, at present, the whole world does not have a serious armored car or tank, just this little bean Ding is still quite bluffing, anyway, he took it out and built it just to sell it for money, this kind of big coffin Wang Lin will definitely not let his armored troops use it.
In a certain armored base in Hainan, there is currently only one armored regiment and 500 Douding tanks in the whole of Hainan; although this combat vehicle belongs to the experimental stage, its main purpose is to let the soldiers adapt to the life of the armored soldiers, and to increase the chances of victory in the future expansion and reconstruction.
"How does it feel to drive a vehicle like this?" Wang Lin stood in the base and looked at the soldiers who were about to retire a few years ago, and after three years of living in a small black house and one year of military academy life, they were transferred to the astrology cloud to be in charge of forming the armored regiment.
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, it feels good." Astrology Yun saluted, he really didn't expect Wang Lin to really build this kind of army weapon that can block bullets for infantry and provide strong fire support according to his vision, and it is not only equipped with the latest fire dragon type, but also equipped with a 37mm gun.
"How's the training going?" Wang Lin asked seriously, he wanted to make a show in this battle, and to shift most of the attention of the great powers to chariots and battleships, so as to force the outbreak of World War I in advance.
"The training is okay, and now it's time to test it in actual combat." The astrology nodded, very confident in the troops he had trained.
"What about the Tanbu group? How's the coordinated combat drill going? Wang Lin continued to ask.
"That guy Xiao Kai can't wait to stay with me every day now, let my soldiers practice with his soldiers, I guarantee that even if you meet a force of 10,000 people, you can easily annihilate them." The astrology cloud said.
What kind of preserved eggs? An army of 10,000 people? Just your 500 chariots are equipped with 500 37 cannons and 500 fire dragons, plus the cooperation of thousands of infantry, you can give me more than enough to defeat 10,000 troops? Wang Lin said: "Your goal is not 10,000 people, but at least 100,000, now you go and prepare, board the ship early the day after tomorrow and set off, the 1011 Brigade only provides you with logistics support, your target is Guangdong, and other army units will cooperate with you." Give me the best of what I can do. ”
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." Astrology hurriedly saluted, after training for so many years, he finally found a chance to make a move, after Wang Lin left, Astrology Yun hurriedly called the commanders of each battalion to hold a meeting, in addition to assembling troops to be on standby in the military port, it is to deploy specific combat tasks.
"Wang, I think we really should have a good talk, we are the friendliest friends, and we can't ruin our friendship because of the slightest conflict." George the Prince of Wales personally led his negotiation team from Hong Kong all the way to Hainan, but he didn't expect to come to Hainan after first not allowed to dock, and then finally landed and could not see Wang Lin. It's a pity that Wang Lin has already restricted their range of activities in Hainan, and soldiers will follow them if they move casually.
"It's not that I'm unwilling to negotiate with you, it's that you're so insincere." Wang Lin shook his head.
"Wang, our deliberations were a little slower at that time, but I think you should give us enough time to think about it." George said as if he wanted to cry.
"So are you thinking in one place now? Got an answer? Wang Lin said.
"Yes, it's been there for a long time, but we just can't find you, our British Empire is the most sincere person, you should believe this, we never deceive our friends." George said at length, all of them are the good of the British, Wang Lin was a little impatient and glared at George, and the frightened George hurriedly changed the topic: "Hong Kong can give it to you, this is a contract I signed, as long as you sign it, it will take effect, but the Malay Peninsula must be returned to us, and we can't lose the Malay Peninsula." ”
"Why do I still think you're not sincere enough? Do you want me to give you back the Malay Peninsula? Do you want to come back to me and sign a treaty with me that the Malay Peninsula will be under my administration when my army is in India? If that's the case, I'll send troops to India right away. "The Malay Peninsula? Speaking of which, it is for the sake of the Strait of Malacca, which is a convenient passage into East Asia. It's just that today's George still thinks that Wang Lin will return the Malay Peninsula to Britain when he gets Hong Kong, but he doesn't know that Wang Lin has deployed a complete fortification there, just to get stuck in the throat of Ben there, and he wants to return it to you? Wait for the next life.
God, how did you meet such a soft and hard guy, the honor of the British Empire has been insulted under him, I didn't expect to be insulted even more when I came to him, I started to fight without a word, thinking of Wang Lin, who was still a hippie smile and jokes before, now this serious look, there is no room for negotiation George had a headache, and when he came here to negotiate the British side was ready to lose Hong Kong, but George wanted to make the final struggle, but he didn't expect the struggle to be a struggle, But in the end, the Malay Peninsula was lost.
"King, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, if I give you the Malay Peninsula too, I will be scolded to death when I return to England, my father has just come to power, if I really give you the Malay Peninsula, I think my father will be pushed down immediately." George said with a pitiful expression, as if he wanted to continue struggling.
"That's not something I should care about, you can sign the treaty that the Malay Peninsula is under my administration, it doesn't matter if you don't sign it, it's a big deal if I let the fleet go to India, or go to Britain to fire two guns, I have no opinion. I have the ability, you know. Wang Lin said very seriously, seemingly scaring George, but in fact he was scaring George.
Even if the British were able to blockade the road from Asia to Europe and strictly prohibit the ports of any country for Wang Lin's fleet to refuel coal, food and fresh water, would it not matter, as a later generation, Wang Lin would not be able to cope with such restrictions? It's nothing more than more ships in the fleet, with enough ammunition, coal, food and fresh water, who is afraid of whom? As long as you dare to get close to me, I will sink you immediately, not to mention that I still have a nuclear submarine here, although the nuclear bomb is not yet there, but it is fast.
With Wang Lin's current strength, although he does not dare to go to war with the whole world, he still dares to go to war with Britain, even if he does not attack the British mainland, attacking Britain's overseas colonies everywhere can consume Britain to death, not to mention that if there is no income from the colony, Britain can't even afford to raise an army, not to mention the world's first navy.
"I don't think it's better to do this, we won't sign an agreement in the Malay Peninsula, we can be one and a half, this side belongs to you, and the other side belongs to us." George hurriedly took a map of the Malay Peninsula, thought for a while, and then drew a line with his finger from Bashi to Malan and Kahum, with the north to Wang Lin and the south to the British.
"One person and half are fine, but they must be divided like this, otherwise they don't have to talk about it." Wang Lin also drew on the map with his finger, but the one he drew was the line from Shabai Annam, Dahan Mountain to Kampung Wuluo: "The top belongs to you, and the bottom belongs to us." ”
"King, isn't that right? How about we change it? George looked at the area divided by Wang Lin and said with a smile. If it really follows Wang Lin's intentions, what is the British still doing here, at best, it is to tell the people that the Malay Peninsula is safe and there is nothing to do, but what about the reality? The entire Strait of Malacca is already under the control of Wang Lin. However, on the contrary, the previous situation was changed, and the Strait of Malacca was in the hands of the British, and Wang Lin's supply fleet had to obtain the consent of the British if they wanted to pass through, and the British could then make trouble and starve his troops stationed in the Malay Peninsula.
"You don't have the strength to negotiate terms with me, you agree or not, anyway, I have informed you, I will keep the place above for you, and when you have time, you can send the army over again, the army there may have gone to God now. In addition, we traveled so far to help you conquer the Malay Peninsula, and then responded to your call to garrison troops there, should you pay some running money or something? Just give a thousand pounds, don't give too much. Wang Lin opened his mouth and said, this is to tell the British that it is impossible for me to return the land I occupy, unless you can defeat me, and second, you don't have the strength to negotiate terms with me, and the third is naturally to ask for money.
"Okay, it's okay to give you 10 million, but you'll have to give us one of your kind battleships." George said cautiously, for fear of being blown up by Wang Lin again.
"Want? Yes, take the money and buy it, it is 30 million pounds sterling a ship for the Germans, and I think you British are so friendly that it is 25 million pounds a ship. Wang Lin nodded and said without blushing.
"Isn't that too expensive? You must know that you can't use so much to build a battleship, even if you add the cost of rushing work. George looked at Wang Lin with a pale face, and the man in front of him was really a master who ate people and didn't spit out bones, twenty-five million pounds a ship, and he was embarrassed to say it.
"Twenty million pounds a ship, this is already the lowest price, love to buy it or not." Wang Lin turned his head, and suddenly felt that he was too confused? How did the time to say a word reduce the price of five million per ship for the British? But if the words come out, they can't take it back, although they have no credibility to talk about with this group of British, but Wang Lin doesn't want to do this, it's a big deal to sell them a few more ships to earn back the money, and also add some skills and proficiency for his shipyard employees, and rush to complete this batch of orders to study his own aircraft carrier.
"Well, we ordered one for the British Empire." George said like a colic, 20 million pounds a piece, obviously to eat people, but the loss is a loss, anyway, this one is also for the shipyard to study, and after the research is thorough, he will start to build it himself, and now the large battleship studied by the shipyard researchers has just reached the bottleneck, if you can buy this kind of battleship back to study, it can also reduce the time for research. I just don't know if these 30,000-ton battleships can be eaten thoroughly?
"One? If you don't sell it, it's not enough for me to start working, and the Germans have bought three ships anyway, and don't come to me to place an order if it's less than three. Wang Lin turned around and wanted to leave, as if he didn't want to waste too much time here.
"Of those three, we ordered three."
"Pay the advance payment of 50 million pounds and the 10 million pounds of errands first, and give me the remaining 10 million when it is delivered in three years."
