Chapter 446: Rozdvinsky
"This is the Russians asking me for help, so the Russians can give the money, I only need 100 million, but I want euros." Chen Hao quickly gave Zhao Scorpion a reply.
Zhao Scorpion showed a wry smile and said: "Do you really dare to open your mouth, and triple the price at once, you are not afraid that the Russians will refuse?" ”
Americans owe a lot of foreign debt, so in recent years, the dollar has been depreciating, and many players have lent money to the United States. In the twenties of the 21st century, almost 3 US dollars was equivalent to one euro, and Chen Hao did not want US dollars to ask for euros, which actually raised the price by 3 times.
Chen Hao smiled slightly: "If the Battle of Tsushima is won, many of Russia's story missions will change, and it will be much easier for Russian players to gain benefits in the game." For a country as big as Russia, it's too easy to come up with 300 million euros, right? Brother Zhao is tired of conveying it to me, if the Russians are unwilling, forget it, after all, there are risks in war, and the loss of one of my new warships is more than so much money. ”
Zhao Scorpion said happily: "No problem, I will report to the above as soon as I go back, and I also hope that you can knock Lao Maozi one more." ”
Zhao Scorpion returned to the game less than a day after he went offline, saying that the Russians had agreed to Chen Hao's conditions, and 100 million euros would soon hit his account after he entered the war. Chen Hao is not worried about the Russians defaulting on their debts, such a big country, there is no need to play for 100 million euros.
In fact, the Russians still only contributed 100 million US dollars, and the remaining 200 million Huaxia came out because of the relationship between friendly neighbors, which Chen Hao did not know at all. The money was a windfall, and he would have participated in the Battle of Tsushima anyway, and it was good to have some blood for the Russians.
The Russians were not the only ones who were willing to bleed, and only two days later, the Japanese also sent people to the Cam Ranh Bay base, and the price offered was also 100 million US dollars. However, it would be much easier for Chen Hao to take the 100 million US dollars, and the Japanese only asked him not to participate in the war. He was not needed to lead the fleet to fight the Russians.
The Battle of Tsushima meant more to the Japanese, and if they lost the war, the Japanese economy could collapse in the game. The stronger the country, the easier it will be for players to develop, and if Japan is really defeated in the game, the future development of Japanese players will be greatly affected. So the Japanese went to Cam Ranh Bay with hope. hoped that Chen Hao would dispel the idea of participating in the war, and generously gave 100 million US dollars.
Chen Hao felt that 100 million US dollars would not be the bottom line for the Japanese, and if they bargained, it was estimated that they would pay more. The Japanese did not need him to go to war, so he secretly took money from the Japanese but did not help the Russians, and no one would accuse him. On the one hand, the fleet needs to take risks to make money, and on the other hand, it is worth picking up hundreds of millions for nothing, no matter how you calculate it, it is more cost-effective not to participate in the war.
Chen Hao still rejected the request of the Japanese, because the Battle of Tsushima was not only related to Japan and Russia, but also closely related to China. He's going to go ahead with his plan. Let the Russians win the naval battle, the Japanese win the land war, and the two countries fight in the dark.
Chen Hao bargained with the Japanese, and in the end the Japanese bid 200 million euros, which was more than double the income that Chen Hao received from Russia. He asked the Japanese to pay first so that he would not go to war, and wanted to collect money but did not do anything, but the Japanese were not stupid, and they suggested signing a contract in the game. Chen Hao used the fleet as collateral.
After Chen Hao found out that he couldn't deceive the Japanese, he didn't bother to talk to the Japanese representatives. Just let him fuck off. The Japanese came to Cam Ranh Bay this time, and he recorded the process of bargaining with the Japanese, and when the time came to ask for more benefits in the game, if the Russian players did not cooperate, he could show them the video and let them decide for themselves.
On April 6, 1905, the Russian Second Pacific Fleet arrived in Cam Ranh Bay, where it received orders to wait for the Third Pacific Fleet. They arrived in Cam Ranh Bay eight days earlier than in history. This was because Cam Ranh Bay was no longer owned by France, the British could not protest, and there was no obstacle for the Russian fleet to enter Cam Ranh Bay.
When the Second Pacific Fleet sailed into the outer harbor, the Cam Ranh Bay Fleet had just returned from the exercise and saw that the Han Wudi was all large-caliber artillery. The commander of the Russian fleet, Rozdvinsky, was interested. He made a request to visit three new warships, and Chen Hao readily agreed, personally leading him aboard the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Rozdvensky looked at the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and was amazed, and he sighed: "The speed of replacement of warships is very fast, and after looking at Mr. Chen's warships, I know that my country's warships are lagging behind a lot, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to win this battle with the Japanese." ”
The previous fleet in Cam Ranh Bay was nominally under the command of Captain Gobiato, and when the Second Pacific Fleet arrived in Cam Ranh Bay, Rozdvinsky demanded that Gobiato accept unified command. Gobiato claimed that he had a cooperative relationship with the Huaxia Yiren, that he only had four cruisers and three destroyers, and that the other warships were all Huaxia and would not necessarily accept his command.
Rozdvensky's visit to the new warship was actually to find an opportunity to contact Chen Hao, and then persuade Chen Hao to lead the fleet into battle. NPCs ask players to help, generally in the form of quests, and the players who can let the NPC fleet commander take the initiative to issue quests are estimated to be the only ones Chen Hao.
After visiting the new warship, Rozdvinsky got to the point, and he said tentatively: "Commander Chen, our fleet needs your help, I wonder if you are willing to lead the fleet to deal with the Japanese together with our country?" ”
Chen Hao said with a look of surprise: "Although I am a pirate, I am a native of the Qing Dynasty, and the Japanese sent troops to the Northeast because your country refused to return the three eastern provinces of our country, and they came forward to uphold justice, how can I help your country fight?" ”
Rozdvinsky sneered: "How can the Japanese have such good intentions, they are only going to war with our country to occupy the northeast of your country!" Japan is a small country, and it is bent on completely occupying the three northeastern provinces of your country, and it would be a disaster if they were to succeed. ”
Chen Hao seemed to be persuaded by Rozdvensky, and he was silent for a moment and said: "What Your Excellency Commander said is very reasonable, but I am only a pirate now, and I insist on being neutral from the outside, so I don't want to participate in your fight." ”
Rozdvensky waved his arms and said, "You now have a powerful fleet in your hands, even more powerful than the fleet of the Great Qing Kingdom, why should you be at the mercy of the imperial court?" ”
Chen Hao said distressedly: "Your Excellency Commander, then I'll tell you the truth!" The risks of participating in the war are too great, and I don't want the warship I bought with all my money to be buried at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. ”
Rozdvensky's face was full of joy, and he hurriedly said: "Commander Chen, risks and opportunities coexist, if you agree to participate in the war, our country can offer certain benefits in exchange." (To be continued......)
