"And then?"

Zhang Xin raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the meaning of anticipation, he actually had a premonition of what this person would say.

Considering the current situation, there is a 900 percent chance that this emergency funding package, which is worth at least 1.7 trillion federal dollars, will pass.

In short, a chaebol like the Weiyan Group, which is biased towards arms and heavy industry, will definitely raise their hands in favor, and this is already an extremely powerful force.

"The plan given to me by Marshal Cologne is to form a fleet of about 300,000 within three months, and build a defensive line consisting of three large military and twenty small fortresses near the Levant star field. ”

Liu Wei really lived up to Zhang Xin's expectations and said: "If the Weiyan Group can agree to the request of the military department, then I can consider adding a national defense subsidy to Yingzhou and Guangcheng Star Domain in this emergency appropriation plan, with a fund of about 35 billion." In addition, the Fifth Fleet Group directly under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Military Region of the National Defense Force can also be deployed to defend the Yingzhou Star Domain. Once the war starts, it will be under the command of the Temporary Regional Commander. ”

Zhang Xin suddenly narrowed his eyes and began to weigh the pros and cons.

35 billion dollars, the number is already not small. You must know that now a fleet group of 12,000 ships directly under the fleet costs about 35 billion-

He didn't hesitate for long before he made the offer: First, "35 billion subsidies are not enough, at least 45 billion federal dollars!" Second, our five super-large transportation stations must also be expanded to 44 billion cubic kilometers. By the way, His Excellency the President also had to help Senator Qi Changchun pass a special appropriation bill to subsidize the construction of these five super-large transportation stations. I think your team of military advisors will surely tell you how much pressure your fleet will take if it were to attack from Yingzhou. What kind of reaction the people of the High Court will make after being provoked is something we cannot imagine now. As the leader of the two major star fields of Guangcheng and Yingzhou, I have a responsibility to them, and I must make all preparations before this. ”

When Liu Wei heard this, he was stunned for a while. He didn't know how Zhang Xin had a relationship with Qi Changchun of the democratic faction.

"Again, the timing of our attack is also very important, after all, this is the local defense fleet of the two major star domains of Guangcheng and Yingzhou, and the main force is the private armed forces of the Weiyan Group and major institutions. If our Joint Chiefs of Staff can't come up with a reasonable battle plan, then it will be difficult for me to convince my allies. ”

Zhang Xin looked at Liu Wei with sincerity: "I myself never want that the military department will treat us as pawns that can be sacrificed at will." ”

"And rightfully so!"

Liu Wei bowed slightly, expressing his approval. In his opinion, in addition to the ruthless counter-offer, Zhang Changzhi basically has some very reasonable requirements, and there is nothing wrong with it. If he stood in Zhang Xin's position, it would not be any different.

"I will try my best to help you fight for the subsidy you mentioned, in short, it will not be less than 40 billion. But is it too late? In the next two months, build five 44 billion cubic kilometers of military fortifications?"

"Before I arrived, Weizhong Engineers was already working on some key components, such as large nuclear power units, fortress guns, and so on. It only needs to go through the approval process, then it is expected that within four months, three of them can be completed, and the other two can be deployed in half a year. ”

Zhang Xin pondered: "Fourth, I also hope that the Ministry of Defense can give us a part of the warship order. ”

"You want a battleship order?"

Liu Wei was stunned again: "As far as I know, your majestic shipbuilding and majestic workmanship are already operating at full capacity, right? Even if you get a contract from the Ministry of Defense, will you be able to accept it?"

"This is to expand production, enough warship orders, can be conducive to the financing of Weiyan Shipbuilding and Weiyan Heavy Engineering, and obtain funds to further increase the scale of production. ”

Zhang Xin saw that His Excellency the President still looked uncertain, so he added: "Your Excellency the President doesn't think that this Great Patriotic War will end in a short time, right? I think the jobs created by the majestic shipbuilding and the majestic heavy engineering will also be beneficial to the resettlement of the people who have fled from the Cartier and Columbus fields. ”

"I see!"

Liu Wei's eyes were relieved, but he did not directly agree: "I think your company can discuss this matter with the Ministry of Defense." The normal bidding process still has to be followed, otherwise we will not be able to account to the parliament and the people. ”

"I understand the rules, I won't embarrass His Excellency the President, all I want is a statement from you. ”

Zhang Xin then changed his voice again: "And the last-"

When Liu Wei heard this, he couldn't help but frown. This little guy is really endless.

The previous conditions, although they had made him feel a little embarrassed, did not touch his bottom line. But if the other party still continues to ask for it without knowing the proportion, then there is no way to talk about cooperation between them.

However, Zhang Xin's next sentence made him stunned for a while.

"I also need a position as a deputy minister at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, preferably in charge of the Artificial Intelligence Administration. In two months, I think Your Excellency the President will be able to do it?"

Liu Wei fell into contemplation: "But as far as I know, there is no vacancy in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology?

The full name of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is the Ministry of Electronics Industry and Information Technology, and it is also a department with real power. The position of the vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is undoubtedly very important, but if he is only in charge of the Artificial Intelligence Administration, then relatively speaking, it is not too much of a request.

Therefore, although Liu Wei did not agree, he did not directly refuse, he wanted to continue to hear what Zhang Xin's plan was.

"The advantages of the Buffett empire in quantum networks and data information, I think His Excellency the President should have noticed. You should know that even the Federal Security Service had to use a backup encrypted intranet in order to evade their monitoring of the quantum network. As for our Weiyan Group, although it relies on more than a dozen network security engineers hired by the Shenwei Academy of Sciences to defend to a certain extent, the so-called long-term defense will be lost, and it is actually at a disadvantage in this regard. My cybersecurity consultant even suspects that they possess a highly intelligent AI life. So the next thing you can imagine is that the Artificial Intelligence Authority is crucial to the war between us and Warren Buffett's empire. Attack and defense on the quantum network will be our next battlefield. But the problem is that the current senior management of the Artificial Intelligence Administration has obviously not paid enough attention to this situation. ”

Liu Wei couldn't help but be moved when he heard the sentence 'highly intelligent artificial intelligence life', and Zhang Xin smiled slightly: "The position of vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is indeed not vacant at present, but I think that in two months, the governor of the capital star field and the head of the Republic City will definitely be vacant, right?"

Liu Wei suddenly knew the meaning of the song when he heard the strings, and knew that the last condition proposed by Zhang Xin was an exchange of interests rather than a demand.

"So this is the cooperation between the Popular Front and the SPD?"

"No!" Zhang Xin shook his head: "It's the cooperation between Shenwei Zhang's and Tianhan Liu's,"

Liu Wei smiled dumbly, and then instructed Han Ze next to him: "Help me open a bottle of red wine, I have to celebrate with Chairman Zhang." ”
