"20 billion Cosmic Coins!!"

Even though Hu Kun already had very high expectations, when he heard Zhang Shusheng speak, he was almost frightened.

20 billion cosmic coins, in exchange for 400 coalition warships and 1 million Longshan prisoners of war, Hu Kun simply calculated, if you don't count those prisoners, the price of a battleship should be 50 million cosmic coins.

"My God, are the Chinese crazy? Although Zhang Shusheng has always loved money, why is he crazy to such an extent? ”

Hu Kun secretly thought in his heart, the waves were wild, and when he saw Zhang Shusheng lightly proposing the offer of 20 billion universe coins, he couldn't even put forward many of the arguments he had prepared.

The Chinese really offered a sky-high price.

20 billion cosmic coins, this amount of money is also a huge amount of money for the alliance, and it is absolutely impossible to achieve without the approval of the Big Three.

To put it simply, 20 billion cosmic coins can almost form 2 super fleets in a so-so way, and it is also the battleship itself, as well as all the other standard combat configurations and supplies.

In the national war with the Rankers, the Orions also invested a lot, and formed three super fleets in one go, bringing the number of Orion's super fleets to 6.

Hu Kun, as the president, is also a military madman, and the other two giants, the speaker of the parliament and the commander-in-chief of the military department, formed an iron-blooded three-person team to expand the army.

I have to say that those who can become second-level civilizations are some nouveau riche, except for second-level civilizations like the Huff Empire, which are not enterprising, have weak national strength, and have greater symbolic significance than actual significance, the Orion Alliance and the Principality of Ranke are the real second-level civilizations.

The wealth accumulated by the 11 administrative planets and dozens of resource planets in the millennium, especially the commercial state like the Nok Business Alliance, has become the strongest force to support this battlefield.

Six super fleets seems like a lot, but according to Hu Kun's estimates, the alliance will need to build at least four super fleets and maintain the size of ten fleets in order to win the war with Ranke.

At present, the Orion Alliance has entered the stage of national preparedness, and the next stage is the highest form in wartime, implementing the Union Emergency Act.

20 billion cosmic coins, for the alliance, although it will not be impossible to take out, but if it is only used to satisfy the appetite of the Chinese, Hu Kun has no confidence to persuade the two giants at all.

Zhang Shusheng is not in a hurry, since he has opened a high price, he is still confident to convince Hu Kun, he is not used to the way of asking for a price to repay on the spot, and directly offer a price that he thinks is appropriate, and he can talk about it, and if he can't talk about it, forget it.

He profoundly understood a truth, friendship between countries cannot be constant by feelings, but should be measured by interests, or even direct cosmic coins, so that there is the most standard.

This time, the high price is mainly due to the fact that the odd goods can be lived. In ancient China, there was a principle that drought is a boat, and water is a car, as long as your vision is poisonous enough, the timing is accurate enough, and your goods have buyers, you are the real winner.

"Mr. President, I think you may be calculating that a battleship costs 50 million cosmic coins, I don't know if I'm right.

In fact, this kind of bargaining is completely meaningless.

It's very simple, if your country gives 20 billion cosmic coins and asks the Longshan Empire to send you 400 battleships in the name of admitting defeat, even if they are tattered and almost unseaworthable, is this feasible? ”

Zhang Shusheng laughed, and then said: "This is just a simple analogy. The price of the same thing at different times and on different occasions is completely different.

In the hands of the Longshan people, these tattered battleships are a rag cargo, but here, on the battlefield of the Lost Star Domain, what are these 400 battleships?

It is first and foremost a witness to the defeat of the coalition forces, to which the value of the loot is attached.

For this alone, let's assume that a brand-new G-type battleship, if it is fully armed, its price is 5 million Cosmic Coins, then, the price of becoming a trophy, multiplied by 2, becomes 10 million Cosmic Coins, isn't it too much, right?

So, if it's a battleship, it's definitely not worth the price, but, considering the cluster effect, your army has captured 400 ships, and this intangible value will be multiplied by 2 to reach 20 million cosmic coins, isn't it too much?

The capture of 400 battleships of the coalition forces, such a big victory, I am afraid that your country will not be able to dispatch three super fleets. ”

When Hu Kun heard it, this Zhang Shusheng would still talk about some crooked reasoning, but it was crooked when he heard it, and it still made some sense when he thought about it carefully. According to this calculation, 20 million prisoner of war warships are indeed not too much.

Zhang Shusheng smiled again: "Maybe Mr. President thinks that even this price is far from 50 million, don't worry, let's calculate it slowly."

First of all, if your country has this iron-clad trophy and captives, then you can declare you a great victory in the entire Lost Circle, and even in the Southwest.

The advantage of this is that you and the other two giants will gain huge political assets, and re-election will become inevitable.

Of course, with the friendship between our two sides, I will not convert this into cosmic coins, and helping Mr. President to be re-elected will be regarded as my personal sponsorship, not counting money, and hurting feelings. ”

"Your Majesty is quick to talk, just now I lost my temper, Your Majesty continued."

Hu Kun sneered, he really wanted to hear how Zhang Shusheng calculated this crazy account.

Zhang Shusheng took a sip of tea and continued: "Just now we talked about the small trend, which is related to the domestic situation, the people's will and personal interests, and now, let's talk about the general trend.

At present, the southwest star field of the galaxy is at a critical moment of reshuffle, and the war between the Silver Moon Empire and the Guluo Federation is inevitable, which is also the fuse of all contradictions in the southwest star field. ”

Hu Kun nodded, the southwest star field of the galaxy has always been one of the most backward regions of the galaxy because of some unknown reason in ancient times, and now the two tripolar civilizations have finally seen the hope of advancing to the fourth level civilization, but the headquarters of the Pan-Human Alliance actually only gave one place.

This is a matter of human life, and war between the two countries is inevitable.

In fact, even if it is not promoted to the fourth-level civilization, the southwest star field that has been peaceful for thousands of years has already accumulated enough contradictions, and it will burn at a moment, the reshuffle of the new and old forces, and the internal forces of the two countries also hope to redivide the interests through war, and under all kinds of disputes, a war that swept many civilizations broke out.

It can be said that this war will be on a grand scale, but unlike the race war, it is basically a military duel, and there will be no massacre of humanity and no weapons of destruction.

Zhang Shusheng: "The duel between the two major forces is by no means a duel between two countries, and other countries will also choose sides. If you take the Lost Star Domain as an example, Nock and Orion, as well as some other countries, chose the lineup of the Guluo Federation.

Led by the Longshan Empire and Ranke and other countries, they chose the Silver Moon Empire.

However, we have seen that neither the Silver Moon Empire nor the Guluo Federation have provided complete and selfless assistance to Longshan or Nok. ”

The situation in the Southwest Star Domain is rather strange, it happens to be a duel between two types of systems, on the one hand, it is a coincidence, and on the other hand, it is also the result of the two tripolar civilizations secretly supporting and snatching various forces for thousands of years.

"Not bad!"

Hu Kun also agrees with this, whether it is the Silver Moon Empire or the Guluo Federation, their power is far stronger than Longshan and Noke, but they have not carried out thorough large-scale assistance, and the assistance of the two countries to the two sides is almost the same, mainly depending on the two countries fighting.

The Orion Alliance has also analyzed the reasons and believes that the two countries are not at ease with giants like Longshan and Nock.

Zhang Shusheng: "Actually, the reason is very simple. Two tripolar civilizations are going to war, if the top second-level civilization below is heavily funded. It is very likely that there will be a strange result, two tripolar civilizations will lose both, but a second-level civilization below will stand out and eventually become one more great power.

This is a constant occurrence in the galaxy, and I think Mr. President agrees. ”

Hu Kun nodded, it is indeed like this, the civilization blockade of high-level civilizations to low-level civilizations, technical barriers, and trade barriers are all produced in this way.

"But now it's a little different. The Silver Moon Empire and the Guluo Federation must be separated, which means that one country will fail.

In this way, both sides will aspire to the emergence of a powerful but not able to threaten the tripolar civilization.

Perhaps, the two countries will sit back and wait for the countries of Yongsan and Nok to fight their way to the top, and then combine their forces in one fell swoop to help one of the two countries win.

However, I think this is a great opportunity for the Orion Alliance. ”

Only then did Zhang Shusheng say what he really thought in his heart.

Hu Kun was stunned suddenly, and then his eyes lit up, he, he already knew what Zhang Shusheng was going to say!!

Sure enough, Zhang Shusheng continued: "Although there are many countries in the southwest star field of the Milky Way, except for the two tripolar civilizations, the second-level civilizations below are not strong, and it just so happens that Longshan and Noke are the two strongest countries.

If I were the Guluo Federation, then the best way would be to let these two powerful countries that could advance to the Tripolar Civilization at any time fight each other, and then support another powerful second-level civilization.

Obviously, the Orion Alliance has such qualifications. ”

Hu Kun hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please continue." ”

Zhang Shusheng said: "Ranke is actually a good choice, but unfortunately, Ranke is surrounded by Longshan, Nock, Orion, and Lost Star Domains, and his development has been greatly restricted.

Orion, on the other hand, is in a unique position.

First of all, you are only a month's worth of ships from the border of the Ghora Federation, and if you enable the Jump Gate, then you can go directly.

Secondly, if we hypothetize, what kind of picture will such an Orion Alliance look like in front of the giants of the Guluo Federation? ”

So, he began to describe it: "A country that has been in the country for less than a thousand years, but has been through war and has never compromised."

A country that values human rights, people's livelihood and business, and has fought a bloody war against Ranke, and can even win one after another.

A man who has made mysterious allies, and more importantly, who and its allies are not afraid of the likes of Longshan and Rank, and who can achieve a shocking victory.

A country that is much weaker than Yongsan and Nok, but has good development potential, has an iron-blooded president, is politically enlightened, has strong cohesion, is wealthy, has a strong military, and is full of yearning for the Goura Federation.

Mr. President, if such a country, in the face of Yongsan and Ranke, with very inferior troops, finally turned defeat into victory, and captured millions of Longshan soldiers, and was not afraid of the wrath of the Longshan people, I think that after the proper operation of your country, when all this information is handed over to the desk of the Guluo Federation, it will not be difficult for Orion to get the third powerful country ticket in the Southwest Star Domain.

The most important thing now is to take advantage of this war to hype up the value of the Orion Alliance. ”

After listening to this, Hu Kun suddenly realized!

Yes, Zhang Shusheng is not selling hundreds of battleships and millions of prisoners with 20 billion at all, but selling to the Orion Alliance an opportunity to become one of the strongest countries under the three-pole civilization in the Southwest Star Domain.

This moment is too poisonous, earlier, before the war has begun, the Guluo Federation will simply ignore the Orion Alliance's overtures.

But now, a full-scale war broke out between Yongsan and Nok, and the countries were in a mess, and the Silvermoon Empire and the Guluo Federation themselves were all gathering heavy troops on the border and just waiting for the battle to begin.

In such a situation, a strong Orion Alliance is the most ideal object of support for the Guluo Federation.

Want money? To give! Money is already a number for the tripolar civilization, as long as there is a strategic advantage, no matter how much money it is, it is worth it.

Battleship? To give! The Tripolar Civilization doesn't want to give you battleships, if they really want to support you, it's not a problem to directly give you a full set of equipment for the battleship factory.

Think about it, once it becomes the most important target of the Gura Federation's next support, then a steady stream of war aid will come in a surge.

Hu Kun couldn't help but think deeply, according to Zhang Shusheng's analysis, now is the best time to show his muscles, show his determination, and show his courage to the Guluo Federation.

It's too early, it's too late, but it's the best time.

Zhang Shusheng looked at Hu Kun's contemplative appearance, but he thought in his heart, this time it depends on how you choose.

This step is crucial for the Empire to usher in at least a hundred years of peaceful development.

Only by allowing the Orion Alliance to grow completely and form the Three Kingdoms can the empire deal with the Three Kingdoms with a transcendent attitude, do business, and make a fortune in a muffled voice.

Individually, the Longshan people are unreliable, the Noks are unreliable, and even the Orion Alliance is unreliable, but as long as these three countries form a mutual containment, then everyone can be relied on, and everyone will want to win over the empire.

Now is the most critical moment, otherwise, Zhang Shusheng would never have made up his mind to show his sword at this time.

In addition to showing the muscles of the empire to the greatest extent and deterring the surrounding countries, the Imperial Bright Sword also helps the Orion Alliance by the way, and of course slaughters it by the way.

The price of 20 billion is indeed very high, but if the Orion people do what they said and present it as a tribute to the Guluo Federation, under the operation of multiple parties, it is a sure thing to become the only key support object of the Guluo Federation.

For this reason, Zhang Shusheng even did not hesitate to let the empire play the role of a hardcore ally of the Orion, of course, this ally would only nest in the Lost Star Domain and make a fortune, and would not rashly make friends with the Guluo Federation and recommend himself to the throne to take risks.

Hu Kun pondered for a long time, and finally spoke: "Thank you very much for Your Majesty's good policy, I think I can make the decision to agree to this 20 billion price." ”
