Chapter 91: New Negotiations

Of course, this time others also gave a plan, one of the more representative is a giant self-propelled gun, replacing the gun with a 406 mm one, Li Zhao also felt speechless when he saw it, what is the use of such a gun?

More than a ton of shells, unless the design of the automatic reloading mechanism, otherwise there is no way to use it, the design of the automatic reloading mechanism, the weight will reach thousands of tons, and this design is only a few hundred tons, is this a joke? For Li Zhao, such a giant cannon can only be changed to a train cannon, but others already have a train cannon. And this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is such artillery, where there are bombers that are good to use.

Some people also thought of space-based weapons, and Li Zhao said directly to the leader after seeing them: "Let's not take out all these space-based weapons, although the cost will be very high, but the threat to us is also huge." ”

Hearing Li Zhao's idea, the person who designed this was unhappy and said, "Why is my design not as threatening as your design?" How can yours be done, but mine can't? ”

Hearing this, the leader spoke: "Li Zhao, you explain your thoughts to everyone, don't let people misunderstand." ”

Hearing the leader's words, Li Zhao explained: "The first feature of the design I gave is that it is expensive, and the second feature is that it does not threaten us. Let's take a look at this super arsenal ship first, only the Black Sea Shipyard can build it, although it has the ability of unlimited endurance, except for a limited number of ports in Damao, there is no place in the world that can supply and maintain this type of warship. Looking at the Far East again, there is no place that can be maintained, not to mention, in 1904, Da Mao suffered a big loss because of this, so it was impossible for Da Mao to drive such a warship to the Far East. ”

"At the same time, as long as this type of warship appears on the high seas, it is guaranteed that those countries in the West will send dozens of warships to watch collectively, in this case, it is even more impossible for Da Mao to drive the warships to the Far East, and those countries in the West will definitely block these warships under their noses, and Da Mao's strategic center of gravity is also there."

"Speaking of submarines, by the same token, the Far East cannot be maintained at all, and the object that needs to be deterred happens to be on the Atlantic coast, so it is impossible to come to the Far East. As for space-based weapons, it's different, as long as the trajectory is changed slightly, it will soon be able to reach the top of our heads, and the threat is not ordinarily large. ”

"I also told the leader about space-based weapons, even more frantic than you, I directly threw a six or seven tons of tungsten alloy rod from outer space, you can imagine the power, I believe you can calculate it. And I've already talked to the leaders about this, and we can't mention any of these ideas. ”

After listening to Li Zhao's explanation, these people also expressed their understanding. In addition to these, there are also some ideas for flying machines, and Li Zhao doesn't care about them, after all, the gap in aircraft is too big, and others can't look down on them. I haven't seen the battleship, after all, there are super arsenal ships in front, and no one thinks about it anymore, in fact, Li Zhao wants to reorganize the aircraft carrier, but thinking about it, it is very likely that Da Mao will not look down on it, so forget it.

In this way, this meeting is over, and the leader also took Li Zhao's new ideas to report, especially the formula, after listening to Li Zhao's words, he didn't dare to leave his hands for a moment, if it was really as Li Zhao said, the value of this formula was probably really worth trillions.

Soon the matter was reported to the chief, and after careful consideration, the chief still felt that it was possible to negotiate, but the asking price should not be low, and at the same time gave instructions to ask Da Mao to send a more senior representative to talk. In fact, many people are uncomfortable at this time, it is very simple that the country's strength is still very weak, and they can't afford to use good things, hoping to exchange for more valuable things.

A new round of negotiations began at the end of the week, and after we decided to take out items of great value for transfer and asked for a higher-level negotiator, Da Mao also attached great importance to it. You have to know the new battleship scheme, but it was given lightly, and now it is so important, it is obvious that the value is much higher than that of battleships.

At the beginning of the negotiations, our side directly threw out Li Zhao's super submarine plan, and when the other party saw this plan, although it was very interested, it did not have too strong feelings, because this is a copy of a similar battleship, which is not surprising. So he asked, "Is this the only submarine?" Although the idea given by this submarine is very good, and it is really strong after it is built, I don't think the value should be very high, right? ”

Hearing the other party's words, the chief in charge of the negotiation smiled and said: "That submarine is just a giveaway, and the real value is not the submarine." According to the estimates of our experts, if you build this type of submarine, the cost is estimated to be about $40 billion, and the minimum will not be less than $30 billion per submarine. ”

There are also experts in weapons in the Da Mao negotiation team, and after listening to the chief's statement, he also took the plan to estimate, and according to the submarines currently under construction, he quickly concluded that it may exceed 40 billion. So he gave the person in charge of Da Mao this answer that may exceed 40 billion, and this answer also suppressed the person in charge of Da Mao.

In fact, Li Zhao didn't know how much it would cost to build Da Mao, but Li Zhao knew that it was rumored to be equivalent to the same weight of gold, although it may not be accurate, but it was still possible to make a rough estimate.

But it was this estimate that made Da Mao misunderstand and think that there was a traitor within him, which also laid the groundwork for a new round of Da Mao's purge. Countries that have never had a strong presence in the world know the cost of building submarines in their own countries, so how much will their enemies know? This matter definitely needs to be investigated.

At this time, the representative in charge of negotiations asked Da Mao: "Since this is a giveaway, what are you going to use to negotiate with us, you must know that your plan, in my opinion, although there is no real design, but the value is still worth hundreds of millions of dollars." ”

At this time, the chief heard the other party's words, and his heart was also relieved, obviously the other party would say so because of this plan, then the negotiations behind it will be easy to negotiate, only when you have a large number of needs, I can bid.

The chief continued: "This submarine is good at everything, but the cost is too high, and our designers only suggest that you can only equip three, and no matter how much you are, I am afraid you will not be able to equip it." In order to show our sincerity, we intend to transfer to you the secret metal formula in our possession, which can reduce the cost of this submarine to less than 20 billion. As he spoke, he handed over the formula performance introduction to the other party.

"This is a high-pressure alloy steel formula that has been proven by us to meet this need. Not only that, but all your submarines will be free from the constraints of double-hulls, the price of all submarines under construction will be significantly reduced, and all high-pressure-related equipment will be transformed. I guess you can understand the value of this formula, right? It's going to be a recipe worth more than a trillion dollars. ”

When he heard the statement given by our side, the representative of Da Mao also discussed it with the accompanying weapons experts, and finally came to the same conclusion as the chief said, if it is really a pressure-resistant alloy suitable for this submarine, then the value is indeed more than one trillion. Now there are more than a dozen submarines built by Damao every year, just one submarine, which can save tens of billions of dollars every year, and if you count the pressure vessels, then the annual savings may reach hundreds of billions.

In fact, everyone doesn't know that the alloy formula given by Li Zhao is not the best, not only that, but this alloy is still the more expensive one with the same performance, but it is this alloy, and the price of the existing big hair submarine can be directly cut in half, the reason is that titanium alloy processing is too difficult for this era.

At this time, the chief continued: "Regarding the alloy, we can sell it to you in the early stage for actual testing and testing, and then hand over the formula to you when we both think it is appropriate, what do you think?" ”

In fact, the main purpose of this negotiation is to set a mutually acceptable price for this formula, and finally after a day of negotiations, Da Mao gave 30 factories to build aid, of course, these factories are mainly concentrated in fertilizers, plastics, pesticides, power generation, pharmaceuticals and other industries, and expand the steelmaking equipment promised earlier to five sets, and the Red Star Rolling Mill has been assigned to one of the largest, with a total value of more than 10 billion US dollars.

And the leader also promised that from the end of the year, the alloy steel can be sold to Da Mao on a large scale, and this negotiation is a win-win situation. The impact on Da Mao is quite far-reaching, and one of the reasons why Da Mao has been dragged down is that there are as many as hundreds of submarines of various types, and now after switching to pressure-resistant alloys, the overall cost savings are more than trillions. Of course, there are many problems with Da Mao, and the submarine is only a very small aspect, but it also has an immeasurable impact on Da Mao.

The leader in charge of the negotiations is also very happy, because we have great differences with Da Mao on some issues, but now through this negotiation, the relations between the two sides are bound to be eased to a certain extent, and our external pressure will be reduced a lot, which is beneficial to our development.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
