"Since Your Majesty has encountered difficulties, as an important alliance partner in the future of the alliance, we will never sit idly by."

Hu Kun has long been attracted by the price and surname of the Tianlong-class battleship, even if he doesn't know much about military affairs, he knows that this is a very powerful and very valuable battleship.

The alliance has always lacked the main battleships that can give an advantage to the enemy, and has always used the method of piling up cannon fodder and using a large number of junk battleships to fight with battleships.

Such an outcome seemed to solve a temporary problem, but in fact dragged the alliance into the quagmire of a long war.

If you can get this kind of advanced battleship from Zhang Shusheng, it will be able to change the unfavorable situation of the alliance.

What he is afraid of is that the other party does not mention the conditions, and now Zhang Shusheng himself says that he is in difficulty, which is the best.

"I am ready to borrow a sum of money from your country."

Zhang Shusheng said.

"If it's a small number, I can make a decision and promise Your Majesty, but if it's a huge number......"

Hu Kun said with some embarrassment, this emperor is not polite, he is borrowing money, if it is less than 10 million universe coins, he will make the decision and promise him.

This kind of money, which is not expected to be repaid by the other party, should be spent from the political axe public relations fund of the alliance.

"Yes, the numbers are huge.

This kind of battleship is relatively advanced even in the third-level civilization, and it is difficult for us to build it.

If Mr. President and your alliance are interested, then the number of battleships needed in the future will be astronomical, and it will be necessary for us to expand production capacity in advance, and all this requires investment. ”

Zhang Shusheng said straight to the point that since the Orion Alliance began to contact him, he was fighting these people's ideas.

Although the Orion Cantilever is only a quasi-second-level civilization, it is not short of money, what is lacking is technology and battleships.

When Hu Kun heard that Zhang Shusheng borrowed the funds to expand the production capacity of the warship factory, he was both happy and worried.

Happily, as soon as the production capacity of the battleship factories came up, then the alliance would have the opportunity to buy a large number of cheap advanced battleships.

The concern is that everything related to the funds of the battleship factory is an astronomical amount.

"I don't know how much Your Majesty is going to borrow, but if the number is really huge, I need to go back and discuss it with the councillors."

Hu Kun asked bluntly.

Zhang Shusheng did not rush to answer, but said slowly: "At present, our annual production capacity of this kind of battleship is only 20, except for the battleships that are left for our own use, there is basically no share that can be used for export.

Now that the Principality of Ranke is in turmoil, all countries are grinding their fists, and it is possible that the Principality of Ranke may eventually be divided.

In any case, chaos in the Southwest Star Domain has already appeared, and once the alliance has this kind of advanced battleship, it will be able to gain an advantage in the next melee.

For your country, I think the most important thing is not the question of funding, but the question of territory and security. ”

"That's true."

Hu Kun said with emotion that in the past hundred years, he has been fighting with the Principality of Ranke for more than 100 years, and he has long felt a deep headache, his development has stagnated, and there have been hundreds of millions of soldiers killed and injured, which is no longer something that money can describe.

Not to mention the looted border mines, there are more than 2,000 battleships that have been smashed into slag alone.

Zhang Shusheng secretly said in his heart, doing business is like this.

The lower realm is that you sell something, and someone else needs it, and then you make a deal.

The middle level is that other people's needs for such things can be bought or not, and you can successfully sell the goods to him.

The superior realm is naturally that others don't want to buy it, and you can still sell the goods to him and open up new markets.

The highest level is that you are sitting at home, others crying and shouting to buy it, looking at the world, strange goods can live, this is the real domineering of big businessmen stealing the country.

At present, the empire's battleship factory, even if it does not undertake the production of Shenlong battleships, is only 10 ships per year, and this number is exaggerated by him. Of course, the main battleship of the empire in the future is the Shenlong-class battleship.

The method Zhang Shusheng is using now is actually to use future expectations to set up the alliance's loans, ring by ring, and finally get the funds.

If he doesn't make money through these obscene methods, then he can only sell energy mines or other ore energy, and if he doesn't do it, he will sell slaves, technology, and planets.

He doesn't want to do any of this, so he can only pit people on the arms, and the one in front of him is obviously wronged, who should he pit if he doesn't.

"As far as I know, the cost of upgrading the battleship factory is an astronomical amount, I don't know how much Your Majesty wants to borrow from the Alliance?"

Hu Kun saw that Zhang Shusheng didn't speak, so he asked himself.

Zhang Shusheng smiled and said, "Although I hope to borrow as much as possible, I am afraid that I will not be able to pay it back, hehe." So, this amount depends on how many battleships you need in a year.

I can be honest, if your country is able to provide this loan, I can guarantee that the Draco-class battleships will not be sold to the enemies of the Orion Alliance for quite some time.

In the event of a war in the Alliance, I can give you the output of the factory first. ”

Although he did not make a direct offer, he proposed to approve the loan according to the production capacity, and then sell most of the output of the Tianlong warship to the alliance on the premise of the loan, which was enough for President Hu Kun to go back and explain to those parliamentarians.

Sure enough, when Hu Kun heard the two conditions added by Zhang Shusheng, he was immediately moved.

Loans need to be named, even if he is the president, but after all, he is not the emperor, and he can't call the shots like Zhang Shusheng. Now with these two conditions, it is more convenient for him to act.

If you want to make political achievements, how to come? Of course, it is war, and war is the fastest way to achieve political success.

To win a war, you need powerful warships.

Hu Kun actually knows very well that the alliance will eventually change the president, as long as he has a suitable name, he should spend the money, and it is better to spend it himself than to waste it for the next president, anyway, it is the money of the alliance, not the emperor's.

"If so, I am sure to convince the recalcitrant MPs that I may need to consult with the generals as to the exact number of demands.

However, if it is a particularly large loan, a certain amount of collateral is required. I can call the shots and lower some of the conditions. ”

Hu Kun said generously.

Zhang Shusheng shook his head, "This kind of thing naturally can't make Mr. President propose to lower the conditions, that will have a negative impact on your political future, I have a very good appetite with President Hu Kun, and I want to cooperate for a few more decades."

As for the mortgage, I still have 1 living planet in my name that can be mortgaged, so I can use it as a mortgage, and the Planet Registration Committee and the Cosmic Bank can guarantee it.

As for the repayment, it can be directly deducted with the payment for the goods. ”

The method proposed by Zhang Shusheng is already a ring after a ring.

In a country with a federal system, is it difficult to get a loan? Then show those parliamentarians the absolute benefits.

They were afraid that I would not be able to pay the money, so I would mortgage the planet.

They were afraid that my repayment would be too slow, so they would use the payment of the battleship to offset it.

Zhang Shusheng's biggest lack now is the production capacity of warships, in the final analysis, the war is approaching, the problem of insufficient battleships is becoming more and more prominent, and he can't afford to buy it, even if Yun Ya opens the back door for himself, it is only the amount of dozens of battleships, and once the war expands, it is likely that the Noke Business Alliance will also be involved, and when the time comes, he may not be able to buy it.

This opportunity must be seized to expand production capacity.

"Your Majesty, I deeply feel your sincerity, and I will convey your other conditions to the Parliament, but on the issue of the deduction of the payment for the warship, I suggest to you out of personal friendship that you can propose a ratio, and the deduction of 100% of the price of the battleship at a time is not conducive to the development of your country."

Hu Kun finally made a very friendly suggestion.

Zhang Shusheng was immediately overjoyed, laughed, and the two reached a consensus.

At the end of the meeting between the two, Zhang Shusheng hinted that the friendship fee of 5 million cosmic coins had been transferred to Mr. President's personal secret account, as for Hu Kun's surprised and inexplicable expression, Zhang Shusheng naturally smiled, leaving him with a suspense.

But after all, when it reached a certain height, Hu Kun didn't bother with the money, but went back more happily, Zhang Shusheng finally gave him a loan amount of 2 million cosmic coins, a battleship is calculated according to 2 million cosmic coins, and the surname is borrowed for 5 years at a time, so that if he plans to buy 1 ship every year, then Zhang Shusheng can only get a loan of 15 million cosmic coins.

If you plan to buy 100 ships a year, and purchase a total of 500 super-large ships, you will be able to borrow about 1 billion cosmic coins.

...... "Mr. President, I find it hard to believe that such a first-class civilization could produce such advanced battleships. ”

"Hmph, aren't we also a country united by multiple first-class civilizations, how can you discriminate against the Chinese Empire?"

"My fleet must give priority to the distribution of these battleships."

"Mr. President, Lord Parliament, we need to purchase 100, or even hundreds of such battleships, so that even if we face any super fleet of the Longshan Empire, we will have an offensive advantage."

"However, this year's military procurement budget is almost exhausted."

"Speaker, if the front line is lost, the enemy is likely to rush to the capital star in a few days, and when the time comes, your garden and villa on the outskirts will likely be destroyed."

"Think about our dead comrades-in-arms, dead relatives, this is an opportunity for revenge, we must purchase this advanced battleship at a good price."

"If we reach this loan and military purchase with the other party, then we will become allies in interests, and the other party's scientific and technological strength is so strong, it will be of great help to us, and it can also flank the Principality of Ranke and other countries."

The outcome of the debate went even more smoothly than President Hu Kun expected.

A special budget began to be proposed, including the Speaker, the Minister of Defense and other senior officials have reached a verbal agreement, a loan of up to 500 million cosmic coins has been included in the plan, President Hu Kun happily shouted the slogan to those high-ranking officials in the conference room: "The alliance needs warships and allies, and we will destroy Rank!" ”
