Chapter 464: Arms Sales

3.2 million pounds Chen Hao was very tempted, but he was willing to accept the second condition not because of money, but because he wanted to improve the quality of the Russian Navy's warships. Both the Japanese NPCs and the player have purchased a large number of warships, and by the time the Japanese warships are commissioned, the old fleet of the Russians is no match at all, and if the Russians had ordered warships, the Russo-Japanese War might have lasted longer.

Chen Hao finally shook his head, if he accepted the second reward from the Russians, his plan to upgrade the shipyard would be in vain. Then all his shipbuilders, as well as his four large dockyards, would have to be used to build the Invincible-class battlecruisers for the Russians, and the replenishment of his own fleet would be delayed.

Kulopatkin said suspiciously: "Your Excellency Chen Baxian, may I ask you why you rejected this suggestion?" The price at which our country orders the Invincible-class battle cruisers is already very good. ”

Chen Hao smiled bitterly and said: "It's not because of money, if the scale of the shipyard is not expanded, I will not be able to complete your country's order." The reward method that I agreed with His Excellency Commander is necessary for me to expand the size of the shipyard, so I can only choose to accept the first reward method. ”

Kuropat Jin laughed and said, "I also guessed the reason for Commander Chen's refusal, and I am willing to change the reward method within my authority." I can offer you the regular reward, and we will continue to order four battlecruisers from you, but only for £2 million. ”

"Good!"

Chen Hao readily agreed to the Russian commander's conditions, and suddenly felt that the indecisive Russian commander had also become pleasing to the eye. This reward allowed him to expand the shipyard and build warships for the Russians to accumulate technology, although the profit was only 200,000 pounds per ship, but for the time being he was not short of money.

The size of the Russian fleet was not small, and after the Japanese ordered new ships, the disadvantage of the Russians was the quality of the warships. The new ships of the Japanese surpassed the Russians in speed and firepower. But if the Russians had four advanced Invincible-class battlecruisers and a large number of old ships, the Japanese would not necessarily have an advantage even if the new ships were put into service.

Chen Hao quickly took his leave after accepting the reward offered by Russia, saying that the troops must return to Cam Ranh Bay to rest and recuperate, and also arrange the production of battle cruisers for Russia. He arrived at Yingkou on a destroyer and made peace with the main fleet of Cam Ranh Bay at Yingkou. After the Russians sent the technicians and various drawings, the fleet returned to Cam Ranh Bay in a mighty way.

Chen Hao came to the shipyard as soon as possible, and then handed over the technician and dock construction drawings to Xu Jianyin, and asked Xu Jianyin to start building the dock and arrange the construction of the Invincible-class battle cruiser as soon as possible. Xu Jianyin was also very excited after seeing so many drawings, and after learning that the Russians had also ordered warships in Cam Ranh Bay, he said that he would overcome the difficulties and start production as soon as possible.

The adjutant of Chen Hao's command quickly reported to him, saying that it was the French Inhuman Silva who had sent electricity many times, and Chen Hao couldn't help but smile after reading the telegram. Silva saw him build in Cam Ranh Bay. And I haven't asked him to act as an intermediary to buy items for a long time, and I'm worried that I'll lose him as a big customer, so I'm a little anxious.

Chen Hao took the initiative to call back to Silva, saying that he would visit Saigon, and Silva quickly called back to express his welcome. When he came to Silva's residence in Saigon, Silva said with a depressed face: "Chen, you have been enjoying great scenery recently, and you have made the Japanese suffer a lot of losses in a row. But aren't you ready to do business between us? ”

Chen Hao shook his head and said, "My friend, why do you think so?" When you cooperated with me, you took a fancy to the Chinese market. I want to use my maritime power to do the arms business with you. I helped the Russians in the war against Japan in order to clear the obstacles at sea and to bring a steady stream of arms to our country for sale. ”

Silva said with a smile on his face, "You mean we can start working together now?" ”

Chen Hao nodded and said, "Yes, no matter how many arms you send from Europe, I will buy all of them at the agreed price, and I personally need to purchase some items." ”

Silva patted his chest and said, "Chen." If you want to buy anything, just say it, and I'll buy it for you. ”

Chen Hao said lightly: "Silva, I don't think you should talk so much first, didn't you buy the artillery technology I asked you to buy for me?" ”

Silva said embarrassedly: "Chen, Krupp's artillery technology is the core technology in the game. How can it be so easy to get? I've done my best, my people have been doing the task, but it will take some time to succeed. ”

Chen Hao nodded and said, "Okay! I believe you, in addition to Krupp's artillery technology, I need new German armor technology. I'll first order the large-caliber guns and armor needed for the four Invincible-class battleships, and the guns for the ten destroyers, so you can buy them for me first! But I like to be honest with friends, if you continue to be so perfunctory for half a year, I can't buy technology, and our cooperation ends here. ”

Silva's men were already close to the top of Krupp, and if Chen Hao offered a bid, Krupp's artillery technology was likely to be obtained. However, Silva really didn't pay much attention to this matter, he was afraid that Chen Hao would affect his business after he had perfect military technology. Now that he heard Chen Hao give a half-year deadline, he couldn't help but hesitate, if he really gave the artillery technology to the other party within half a year, would he still purchase weapons and equipment in the future?

Chen Hao saw through Silva's thoughts, he shook his head and said, "Silva, I know what you're thinking, but I hope you take a long-term view." It's good that my arsenal can meet its own needs, there are nearly a billion players in my country, and the weapons needed are an astronomical amount, would you rather be a one-man business or a billion-person business? ”

"Besides, I can only purchase military equipment, and you have the final say on how much to purchase, and it is impossible for my country to have the ability to produce precision machinery on its own within ten years. The guns I produce are used on the warships in the shipyard, and I promise to sell as many arms as you ship, so what are you worried about? ”

Silva finally nodded and said, "Okay! I will try my best to buy you the technology for the production of artillery within half a year, but the level of new armor technology in Germany is still above that of the British, and the most core technology at this time is impossible to obtain in a year. If you are willing to purchase this armor in large quantities for a long time, my relationship with the German NPCs will get better and better, and maybe there will be opportunities in the future. ”

"OK, just as you said, I want artillery technology in half a year."

After Chen Hao reached an agreement with Silva, he immediately bought all the arms that Silva had recently stored in Vietnam, and arranged for the fleet to escort the merchant ships back to China. After entering the territorial waters of China, the fleet went all the way north along the coastline and then anchored at Yingkou.

Chen Hao reached an agreement with Zui Sheng Mengsheng through telegram contact, and his arms would be sold in large quantities to Zui Sheng Meng, and Zui Sheng Mengdie would sell them in China. Chen Hao is Silva's spokesperson in Indochina, and Drunken Dream is his spokesperson in China, and it is much more convenient for Drunken Dream to sell weapons and ammunition than to sell it himself.

Drunken Dream Death is a child of a top family, and his identity has been exposed half a year ago, so he has a wide range of contacts. Arms are very popular in China, and there is no problem in selling them at a high price, so everyone can make money in these three links. When Chen Hao led the fleet to occupy Cam Ranh Bay, he had the idea of entering the Korean Peninsula for development, for which he made a lot of preparations, but unfortunately the Russo-Japanese War was changed by Chen Hao, and the Japanese retreated to the Korean Peninsula and affected his plan.

Drunken dreams have been mixing well lately, and when the Russians attacked Korea, his Benxi troops played a big role. He gained the trust of Kulopatkin, so he managed to lead his troops into the Korean Peninsula and establish a base in Jiasan. He became the second player after Chen Hao to open up a base abroad.

Drunk and dreaming of death was not satisfied with a base area, the Russian Kulopatkin appointed him to a post, so he was in the northeast of Korea by a lot of energy. After Jiashan established a base area, he quickly began to lay out more base areas, preparing to build more base areas. As the second player to establish a base abroad, he gained great fame, and a large number of players came to cast for him, but what was lacking was unified institutional equipment.

After Chen Hao's fleet successfully arrived at Yingkou, he was already waiting at Yingkou with a drunken dream, and he bought all the arms in cash. After completing the transaction, he said with a smile: "Brother Chen, you and I have been cooperating for many years, and recently your navy has been in the limelight, and my brother is red-eyed!" Are you interested in selling a couple of warships? ”

Chen Hao originally had a plan to sell warships to domestic players, but now that the shipyard has expanded, he is just looking for a market for warships. After listening to the words of Drunken Life and Dream Death, he pondered for a moment and said: "Now I can lead other players, because I have a warship, originally I was going to build a new ship on my own to increase my strength, since Drunken Dream Death Big Brother spoke, then it is not impossible for me to sell you a few ships." Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard is not perfect now, and the cost of producing warships will be very high. ”

Drunken and dreamy lazily said: "How much is an invincible-class battle cruiser?" ”

"2.4 million, because I received an order from the Russians, so you can only order a maximum of two."

Drunken Mengdie thought about it for a while, grinned and said: "I will order temporary cruisers in the future, now I only have a small port, it is cost-effective to buy small armored cruisers and destroyers, and I will list the requirements for the warships I want later, Brother Chen, you calculate the price for me, I will buy more if the price is suitable." ”

Chen Hao understood the abacus of drunken life and death, with the current ratio of game currency to real currency, it is indeed not cost-effective to buy an expensive invincible level. Drunken Dream Death must be like he did at the beginning, he wanted to buy some small warships to build up the navy's shelves, and only after the ability of his naval units was improved, he began to buy large warships to increase their strength.
