Huff Empire, Royal Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Chinese have a very firm position in the negotiations, and our first offer has reached the price of a single ship of 5 million cosmic coins, but the other party's appetite is very large."

He Fuduo looked at Mian Kang, who was the old god on the side, and he was angry in his heart, you are also the person in charge of the negotiation team, and now if the progress is not going well, you will act like I don't know anything, who is it.

He talked about the negotiations, especially emphasizing that the Chinese rejected equivalent transactions and alliance transactions, and demanded that they must be settled in cash in cosmic currency.

In this case, it is simple, as long as the quotation is considered, as for the transaction guarantee, the universe bank is naturally responsible.

"5 million? At this price, if it is traded between level 3 civilizations, it can be obtained. However, when the Nok Business Alliance purchased from the Guluo Federation, it was in the name of strategic cooperation, and the unit price exceeded 6 million universe coins.

This price is indeed a little lower, and in extraordinary times, don't be reluctant to pay for it. ”

Haff IX thought for a moment and said this, the wealth accumulated by the empire over the years is an astronomical amount, although he has always been more stingy, but it is a matter of life and death for the empire, and he can only endure the pain and bloodletting.

"Yes, what Your Majesty said is very true, we are only the first round of offers, negotiations will continue in ten days, and the subsequent offers will be approved by Your Majesty."

Only then did Huff IX understand that it turned out that he couldn't get it at a low price, so he came to him to ask for his hole cards.

Huff IX nodded, thought for a while and said, "The Chinese are not fools, they can produce such advanced battleships, not to mention us, even if the Noke Business Alliance knows about it, it is estimated that they will rush to buy it."

The unit price of 5 million will definitely not be able to buy, as for the price of more than 6 million, the batch of warships purchased by the Nok Business Alliance from the Guluo Federation is still at the strategic cooperation price, in this case, my hole card cannot exceed 8 million cosmic coins. ”

Although Haff IX is dumb and incompetent, he is not a fool, and he can also see that the Chinese are robbing with fire, and it is clear that they want to rob once, but at present, the empire urgently needs these battleships, and he has no choice but to do so.

The Chinese want money, and they will certainly not ask for a price, and in the end they will have to reach a mutually acceptable price.

Therefore, Haff IX gave a very high floor price, and it is up to the negotiators to negotiate what the price will be.

"The stakes are very high, the two Aiqing must be loyal to the country and try to keep the price down, now the situation is difficult, and there are many, many places to spend money."

Increasing armaments is not something that can be fully achieved by just buying a few battleships, but also by purchasing planetary defense main guns in large quantities and building border defense fortress fortifications, which is also a bottomless pit.

Just imagine, to transform the original barren planet into a defensive fortress, investment is absolutely indispensable.

Huff IX has woken up, and the result of the happiness enjoyed by the Huff family for generations is that his generation has come to repay the debts, and the military defense projects that were not carried out back then are now indispensable, and they have to be doubled.

Compared with the selling price of more than 6 million cosmic coins, he thought that it was impossible for the Huff Empire to get such a price like the Nok Business Alliance, so he simply gritted his teeth, he could still afford a premium of more than one million, and the key was to successfully buy back this batch of fist battleships, and cooperate with the battleships bought by other places piecemeal and smuggling, and form an ace fleet in the shortest possible time.

After He Fuduo and Mian Kang retired, they came to the palace conference room again to discuss the issue of this offer.

"General Mian, Your Majesty is under a lot of pressure. These 80 Tenryu-class battleships are only part of the purchase of battleships, and this ace fleet includes more than 600 conventional G-class battleships in addition to these 80 F-class battleships, which is a huge amount of money. ”

He Fuduo said depressedly, although he took the largest piece of fat, the other small orders were taken away by the other princes and dukes.

Although it was the turn of the value, the more than 600 conventional battleships combined were not as good as half of the Tianlong-class battleships, and the potential rebates were far inferior, but he was still very unhappy in his heart, after all, the negotiation of the Tianlong-class battleships still had the old man in front of him to intervene.

"Yes, the negotiations have not progressed for a long time, and I am also very anxious."

Mian Kang secretly said, anyway, he already has a deep cooperative relationship with the Chinese, since His Majesty gave the hole card, then he can't blame himself for being polite.

"Well, I think so, if we want to achieve a major breakthrough in the negotiations, we have to quote a high enough price at a time to satisfy the Chinese."

This offer cannot be lower than 6.5 million. ”

He Fuduo thought about it, since he wanted to get kickbacks from the Chinese, he couldn't be too timid, and simply gave a big gift and directly quoted a high price, so that the Chinese could at least get by on face.

"Specifically, the manager must be enough, and I also think that a higher price should be quoted."

Mian Kang didn't say much, he also felt that He Fuduo's offer before was too cold, the price of 5 million, you - dream of it, if you are Chinese, you will not agree, this is not clear to bully people.

Yes, the Huff Empire is a second-level civilization, but this second-level civilization is just an empty shelf, a second-level civilization hiding under the crotch of the Nok Merchant Alliance, and it doesn't count.

They are first-class civilizations, but others have excellent geographical advantages, high technology, and advanced battleships, all of which are not available to empires.

This is the gap, this stupid manager still wants to engage in petty intrigues, and he definitely mistook his idea.

The two parted a little unhappily, but unexpectedly, a huge trouble was approaching.

Huff IX was in a bad mood after the two left, but then again, he hasn't been in a good mood in recent times.

The Huff Empire's despisance of national defense is not a matter of one or two days, it has been nothing for hundreds of years, but something big happened today, and it was known that it should pay attention to national defense and arm a strong fleet.

However, he also understands that it is not that the emperors of the Haff Empire are deaf to the end, in the final analysis, it is still that the Nok Merchant Alliance does not want the empire to have a strong fleet, and is afraid that the younger brother will be too strong to manage, and now that there is a big problem, he doesn't want to take care of the younger brother.

After simply enjoying a little royal meal, Haff IX called a few young girls, took two pills, and prepared for a big battle tonight.

He has a problem, but whenever he is in a bad mood, he likes to abuse - young - daughters, as an emperor, although he is mediocre, but his surname is quite weird.

Several young girls were also frightened inexplicably, but they didn't expect the emperor to be in such a bad mood today, so he could only endure it silently, otherwise it would be the sin of killing his head.

"Cry, Lao Tzu makes you cry."

Huff IX raised his water-soaked whip and was about to draw it when he was disturbed by an urgent knock at the door.

"Fuck you."

This common human sentence fully reflects the anger of Haff IX, who opened the door and whipped people first without saying a word.

Poor little chamberlain who he liked very much and had been enjoyed by him many times, knew that he had provoked His Majesty's anger, so he could only curl up on the ground and be bruised all over his body.

"Your Majesty, there is urgent military business...... Yes...... The Orions withdrew. ”

Huff IX was whipping merrily, but unexpectedly, the chamberlain, who was rolling and moaning on the ground, howled and cried out.

"What? The Orions have withdrawn!! ”

When Haff IX heard the shock, his first reaction was not to believe it, and he immediately ordered Zhi Brain to open the communication, but he happened to see that General Mian Kang was about to talk to him.

"Bastard, what the hell is going on."

"Your Majesty, the Orions have suddenly withdrawn their troops from the border, they say that the military situation is urgent, and they cannot continue to contain the Ranks, and the Rankers have also discovered their withdrawal, and judging by the signs, they are preparing to organize an attack."

Mian Kang was also frightened in his heart, what did the Orion people do, they actually dared to withdraw their troops at an urgent moment.

"These dogs--Orioners, they are too untrustworthy, what to do, what to do, my general, you hurry up and give me an idea."

Haff IX panicked, his fleet was not yet armed, and if the Rankers attacked in the last two or three months, what would they use to defend?

"Your Majesty, there is also bad news, the garrison of the Shang Alliance has set off for home, and now our troops are empty, and there are only more than 500 battleships that can go to the battlefield in total."

Mian Kang also felt that something was wrong, and now that the army was empty, he even handed over all his family fleet, but this is the fleet.

He wanted to suggest that Hav IX take out the 300 elite warships of the Guards Fleet and use them, but after thinking about it, he didn't dare to say that Hav IX was very afraid of death and would never agree to this suggestion.

"Then let them go up on top, and be sure to stop the Rankers. In addition, it was immediately demanded that negotiations with the Chinese be opened, and at all costs, these battleships must be bought, and as quickly as possible. ”

Huff IX roared angrily, now he doesn't care about what price, what concessions, what negotiations, the merchant alliance's fleet has run away, as soon as the Orion fleet leaves, there are only a few tattered fleets on the border, if it is not dealt with properly, it may only take a few months, and the Rankers will be able to reach the capital and serve the Huff Empire in one pot.

He knew very well that the Rankers might not want to, and it would not be, to occupy the Huff Empire forever, but the other party could completely plunder it, obtain huge benefits, and at the same time boost morale and boost the morale of the army with a great victory of bullying the second-level civilization.

Mian Kang said with some embarrassment: "But Your Majesty, you said before that this negotiation was headed by Chief He, and he made the Chinese very unhappy, and the Chinese prince even complained to me privately, saying that the Shang Alliance and the Orion wanted to buy these battleships. ”

"This bastard thing, no, the negotiations can't continue to be handed over to him. My great general, you were the first to contact the Chinese, and your relationship with them should be good, and this negotiation will be left to you. ”

At this time, Haff IX only had anger at Hefudo, where could he care about the imperial power and what balancing measures, he just wanted to buy those battleships as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers are dedicated to the country, although they have good relations with the Chinese, everything is for the empire, they will never dare to have any selfish intentions, and the negotiations will definitely be carried out under the supervision of everyone."

"Aiqing, the Mian family has been loyal and good for generations, and this kind of thing is never allowed to be mentioned in the future."

Huff IX still trusts Mian Kang very much in his heart, after all, the successive generations of the Mian family are loyal, and secretly said in his heart, it seems that the critical moment is still the Mian family is reliable, although this chief manager served himself in bed when he was young, and he is also very good at pleasing himself, but when it comes to being a halfway monk, the ancestor is just a slave, and the critical moment is difficult for the Chinese, afraid that it is to get kickbacks.

Now in a special period, it is better for this kind of villain to stand aside.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The royal family's great kindness to the crown family in the past dynasties, Wei Chen finally said that he did not dare to forget, this negotiation must do his best, and after death, he must weigh all aspects and complete the arduous mission assigned by His Majesty. ”

Mian Kang said in his heart, this old thing, I remembered myself at the moment of crisis, what kind of imperial power tricks were I engaged in before, this time I don't take the opportunity to yin you, I really can't bear the patience of the Mian family over the years.

Seeing this old man's performance, the deepest hidden thoughts in Mian Kang's heart were unprecedentedly strong.

The rebate is only a short-term benefit, he suddenly felt that this is a great opportunity, the cosmic coin is secondary, if he can take the opportunity to plant seeds, with the help of this Chinese matter, he knows that the Hafu Empire is not impossible to change the dynasty.

However, it seems that the most important issue is to feed the Chinese first. (To be continued.) )
