Chapter 873: Returning Things to Their Original Owners (2)
Seeing the iron arhat walking accompanied by the guards, Churchill Ha Lang smiled and personally greeted the observation seat, regardless of the nervous guards, he took the iron arhat's hand affectionately and said: "Mr. Hank, go, I still have a bottle of good wine there, let's go have a drink." ”
Tie Luohan smiled, "The Prime Minister is too polite, but Hank really wants to know what kind of wine can be treasured by the Prime Minister for so many years, it seems that today Hank is going to win the Prime Minister's favorite." ”
The appearance of the two hooking shoulders made everyone stunned. You must know that Churchill is not such a casual person, so enthusiastic, obviously gave the highest standard of reference to this Hank, just like an old friend.
However, they all know the value of this shell, this shell can hit the target plane in the sky, this is not new, that is just the experience and level of the gunner, but there is also luck in it, but the shell exploded more than ten meters away from the plane, obviously, this shell was not going to rise from the side of the plane to a high altitude, but because of the explosion, the air compressed, shattering the wing.
This artillery shell is actually very famous, in Dong Ku's radar completed the miniaturization, airborne ship-based, on the basis of a small radio communication system, resulting in the electronic components have been reduced to a certain extent, this is the manufacture of the British themselves developed, the Americans after the war after the deep digging technology, mass production of proximity fuse shells.
The main structure of this shell is the use of a shell as an antenna. The fuse contains a vacuum tube radio wave transmitter that emits a radio of 180 to 220 MHz when energized. When the projectile is close to the reflective object, part of the radio waves are reflected. As the distance between the shell and the target decreases, the Doppler effect causes the reflected radio waves to create a low-frequency signal of 200-800 Hz within the current of the transmitter. The signal is filtered and amplified. When the signal strength exceeds a certain limit, the detonation is initiated. The entire device had to withstand the acceleration of more than 20,000 times the Earth's gravity when the gun fired, and the spin of 500 revolutions per second, and it had to be small enough to fit in the warhead of the shell.
This shell was the Allied weapon for inflicting a devastating blow on the Japanese and German air forces. It came out several years ahead of schedule. As for the leakage of the technique, Dong Ku was not worried at all. These are all necessary sooner or later, the technical background of the British and American is by no means so simple, and Lao Xi's technical strength is also not weak, and even the concept is not a little bit ahead.
However, the miniaturization of electronic components is not something that can be imitated in a day or two, it is the crystallization of the process of improving the overall technology. Although the electronic technology of the great powers is already good, they have to study this shell for at least a year. This year, he was already able to sell enough shells. Also, the bombardment of the advance army of the future war cannot be stopped by these shells, so these shells are just objects to make money.
Under the tense protection of the guards, the group left the test site by car, leaving the official in charge of the experiment to issue the gag order.
In fact. Only Churchill and those who had previously been in contact with the Iron Arhat knew where this shell came from, and other officials were able to follow it only to participate in an experiment and witness the miracle of air defense. As for Hank, they are also regarded as members of a certain scientific research group, and naturally they have nothing to do with the weapons company.
Although I think it's strange that this Hank's eyes are black, it's all regarded as a hybrid with the East, and no one investigates it too deeply.
Drinking, but not a drinking party. Instead, Churchill led the iron arhat back to the study alone, and the two drank together. This is what Churchill wanted to get to the bottom of the iron arhat.
Tie Luohan smiled and raised his glass to praise, "The Prime Minister's treasured wine is really good. It's much better than the Lafite I drank. ”
Churchill took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Mr. Hank, go back to the apron, I still have some stock, but I don't know what to ......do."
"Let the Prime Minister bother."
Tie Luohan accepted the gift without the slightest humility, and then said, "As for the cannonballs you said. Your Excellency Prime Minister, this time my company is ready to cooperate with your country with all our might, and the technology of this shell can be transferred......"
Churchill obviously didn't expect the other party to be so direct, and he couldn't help but move in his heart and probed a little. But he did not interrupt the words of the iron arhat.
Of course, Churchill's performance was seen by Iron Arhat, and he continued quietly: "Your Excellency, it is impossible to calculate accurately in a real battle, according to our company's calculations, it is estimated that the artillery shells you use will shoot down an enemy plane about 2,000, and the shells of this new technique only need 500 or less. With this shell, London will not be bombarded with destruction again. ”
"And how many shells are your company going to trade?"
Churchill retracted his body, took a slow sip of wine, and asked in a slow tone.
IRON ARHAT NODDED AND SAID, "THE FIRST BATCH OF TRANSACTIONS IS 1 MILLION, TRADED IN GOLD, AND COMES WITH 3,000 TWIN ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS OF 127MM CALIBER THAT HAVE BEEN TRANSFERRED. ”
"Well, we can eat this amount, but I don't know if your company will transfer the Dao Technique?"
"The transfer of technology is possible, since our company is ready to cooperate with your country, then the technology will naturally be transferred, but the cost of the transfer is not included in the shells, it must be separated, and it is after the transaction of 5 million shells."
Churchill turned his glass, his mind quickly analyzing the information obtained. He knew that since Hank had told the number, he was afraid that the negotiations would be troublesome, and that weapons companies generally did not bargain, and that they were willing to buy or not. Fortunately, they have dealt with them, and their prices are very fair, much lower than their own research and development.
Churchill pondered carefully and said, "Mr. Hank, I wonder if your company can provide other weapons?" Like airplanes? ”
Tie Luohan smiled: "Prime Minister, since we are an arms company, the products are destined to be put on the market, if your country needs them, we will consider selling them, including techniques and finished products." ”
"Oh? What are they?? ”
Iron Arhat's words intrigued Churchill. The cannonball matter is already equivalent to being done, and the specific price and quantity do not need to be finalized by him, but by the person in charge of negotiation, he just knows a rough idea. And there are weapons to sell, which will undoubtedly avoid unnecessary troubles when negotiating.
Tie Luohan said after a long time: "I believe that you are producing helicopters, but they have not yet formed combat effectiveness, but the training of pilots is easier than that of fighter jets, so I think the Prime Minister needs a batch of helicopters." ”
"How much can you offer?"
Churchill was a little impatient, and although his tone was slow, it clearly touched his nerves.
"Five hundred attack aircraft, five hundred transport aircraft, and if necessary, the number can be increased."
Without waiting for Churchill to speak, Iron Arhat continued: "As for the remaining weapons, we can provide AK54s as well as bullets and artillery, including shells. ”
Churchill was overjoyed when he heard this, but before he could speak, the next words of the iron arhat made his heart cold.
"The price is cheaper than your own production, but the transaction is still done in gold, and except for the shells and artillery to be traded this time, other orders must be paid in advance, and we will provide the supply."
This......
Churchill was stunned. Before he forgot that most of his gold turned into ashes, but the money for 2 million shells and anti-aircraft guns was not so bad that he couldn't get out, and if there was an airplane to continue the transaction, that one would not be a big guy with tens of thousands of pounds, and it couldn't be with the shells, and the amount of gold needed would be large, and the most important thing was to pay in full in advance, which meant that there might be absolutely no arrears, although he was not thinking about arrears, but blocked all kinds of ways to negotiate, and the other party was obviously sealed.
Tie Luohan was not worried at all that Churchill would not agree, this was the way Dong Ku designed, and Britain would not be able to get out of this pit at all.
At this time, the Eurasian Development Bank in Switzerland had already opened and was carrying out loan and investment business to all walks of life, Dong Ku grabbed the gold of Britain and France, and controlled the gold of South Africa, which was to ask Britain to lend, while the United States, although it has strength, will soon be unable to make ends meet, and the gold naturally does not dare to move, and they have to find a way to strain their own economic crisis.
In this way, the gold was returned to Britain and once again returned to its original owner, but the result was different. The fame of the bank is out, and the strength is beyond doubt, this is gold, nothing else, it is absolute hard currency.
As a result, the development bank will become the largest creditor of Britain and France, and with a steady stream of subsequent loans, the gold will be returned to the hands of the British and French economies, and the economy of Britain and France will become controllable by the development bank.
Sure enough, things were as Dong Ku expected, Lao Xi was excited to get the built-in steel ball shells with time-delay fuses, and naturally had absolute confidence in air defense, except that the offensive on the ground was still accelerating, and temporarily gave up the plan to attack the British mainland, and focused on the main force of the French army on the Maginot Line, and at the same time prepared to attack Paris.
Churchill was full of these things he needed, especially helicopters, and in just over an hour of negotiations, they were surprised to learn that three 5,000-ton freighters had arrived at the port of Poole in Bournelaus, and they quickly reached an agreement, and quickly prepared the gold, which was shipped to Switzerland as they requested, and deposited in Swiss banks.
The helicopters, on the other hand, were traded far from Britain and brought back at their own expense, but not far away, in the desert of Western Sahara south of Gibraltar, in a position under their control.
Tie Luohan did not shy away from telling the negotiators that as long as the gold was sent to Switzerland and deposited in the bank account, then they could drive the ship and take the pilot to pick up the plane, and the transport plane could drive back directly, the fuel was full, and the voyage was 3,000 kilometers away, and the attack plane arrived at the shore and could be transported back with the aircraft carrier.
Churchill received the news that he was shocked by the magnanimity of the arms company. A million shells and anti-aircraft guns can arrive in London in two days, and when they are loaded in three days, London will become an iron barrel. But after all, it is small in size and can be transported by freighter, but there are thousands of helicopters, and they have got such a large number of planes there, and they have hidden from the surrounding countries, can it be said that the production base is not far there?
