On October 1, 2021, because the conflict with Dongying on Ryu Island completely intensified, both sides entered a state of second-level combat readiness, as if they would start fighting at any time. The tense situation has made people on both sides a little worried. In order to invigorate people, Huaguo once again came to a National Day military parade. However, the army, which seems to be full of advanced weapons, still has a lot of old goods. Especially the navy, because of its late start, even if it has two aircraft carriers, it still can't be compared with the huge fleet of the United States behind Dongying.

It's not that the country doesn't have any scientific and technological strength, but it really has no money. There are only 1.4 billion people in China, only a few hundred million people in the United States, and the overall economy is about the same, but the Chinese army does not have so much money and luxury. The old equipment will only be retired if it is really useless. The main reason is that they can't sell it if they want to sell it now, and they don't have the money to see it, and they are reluctant to sell it half and give it to them. Those who have money don't look down on such backward ships at all, so the Chinese Navy is really too embarrassed.

The General Assembly Department held a small meeting every three days and a general meeting every five days, and was constantly discussing the increase in the number of destroyer cruisers to be built. Unable to come up with a result, the navy was in a hurry, and the deputy commander, Admiral Lin Guoqing, also began to play a scoundrel and personally came to the General Armament Department to block people.

"Admiral Lin, we really have no choice, a Type 020 Yangtze River-class cruiser costs 300 million yuan, and a Type 021 Wuyue-class heavy cruiser costs 600 million yuan. In addition, the Type 017 Brigade Type 3 destroyer is not cheap, and one is also nearly 200 million yuan (made up, it has not happened in the future anyway). And that's not even counting the wages and benefits of the workers and the money for all kinds of weapons and ammunition, and if you want to increase the fleet of thirty ships in total, we really can't afford to pay for it. ”

"Then I don't care, without these warships, my two aircraft carrier formations will not be able to form a complete combat strength at all. If you fight with the little devil in Dongying, you can't keep the father of the country behind you to participate in the war, and if you lose, you will be responsible!"

"No, General Lin, we have to be reasonable, this is not a matter of responsibility, the country has no money, and we have no choice. Now not only your navy, but also the J-25 and J-20 of the Air Force have to form a high and low match, and they need a lot of money. There are also army Type 16 tanks, Type 09 rifles reloaded, that's all money (all the above weapon models belong to me blindly, if there are similarities, please don't come to check my water meter). ”

After a while, the room fell silent again. Lin Guoqing also knew the difficulties of the General Assembly Department, because every year there was so much military spending, and there were so many people in the sea, land and air, and some new equipment could only be installed in batches and many times. However, there is no way, the four standing aircraft carrier formations of the Mi people are too oppressive against them. If there were no Mi people, the Dongying people's self-defense forces, they would be killed by dividing five by two. However, it is impossible for the people of the United States to watch them kill the Dongying Self-Defense Forces, and they will definitely go out to oppress the fleet.

Without enough advanced warships, he really has no confidence. He is an old man, and he has lived enough, and there is no problem in sacrificing his life for the motherland. But there are still so many young guys, it would be a pity if they were killed by the Mi people because the number of advanced equipment was not enough. When he was helpless, a middle-aged man with the rank of lieutenant colonel walked in, with a smile on his face, as if he had encountered something very good, which was incompatible with the atmosphere in the conference room.

"Meng Qing, what's the matter with you?"

"General Ma, there's big business coming to your door. I just got the news that someone has mortgaged 20 billion yuan worth of gold and antiques to the export department, and wants to use these assets to purchase weapons from our country. ”

"What? 20 billion! Quick, take me to see, Admiral Lin, the money for the new ships in the Navy is available, you can give me a few more days, and definitely let the shipyard start work immediately?"

Admiral Lin Guoqing was very puzzled, why the two of them whispered a few words, and decided to open their mouths to allocate funds to him. He vaguely heard something 20 billion, and his curiosity was aroused. However, this is a matter of the general assembly department, and he is not easy to participate in, so he can only leave like this. General Ma Aiguo, director of the General Armament Department, also dragged his 60-year-old body to the arms export department by helicopter. Here, there is a young man, already waiting.

This young man is Xiao Lin. Why Sholin appeared here is inseparable from the Anglo-French naval battle. Sholin had one of his spies follow Igcik and use a high-end DV camera to record the entire battle. After Xiao Lin got the video, he studied it in the office with Qu Jun and Yu Xiao for a day. I have to say that the real naval battle scene is not the kind of movie where three or four ordinary imitation shipbuilders fight against each other can be completely expressed.

Fifty wooden battleships battled, and the three of Xiao Lin were silent for a long time after watching that scene for the first time. They feel that they still underestimate the people of this era. Not to mention anything else, the company's current means are really nothing to do with these wooden sailing ships swimming on the sea. If only a wooden sailboat was refitted, with some iron sheets, boilers, and a few backward small-caliber naval guns, it could only pose some threat to the white cruisers.

It is conceivable that the white people will never let the company touch the battleship, whether it is technical or physical. Even if you get it, and then modify it, the tigers can't stop the wolves. This era was the Age of Discovery, and mainland Europe was full of shipyards, unlike the colonies, where it was not easy to even produce a cruiser. It may be that for a long time, it will still have to be suppressed by the whites with a fleet. Therefore, the three of them decided that a sufficient number of real warships must be procured from the 21st century.

The preferred target is, of course, Huaguo. The men who come out of the army know the difficulties of the army. Even if I leave, I want to contribute to that "home". Besides, what they are most familiar with is also these weapons and equipment of Huaguo. Now that you've decided to start procuring weapons, don't limit yourself to naval vessels. Tanks and armored vehicles of the army, as well as equipment such as night vision devices, infrared rays, and fighters and bombers of the Air Force, are all things they need.

Sholin wasn't sure how much influence he would have had in the 18th century, but he knew that war was the best catalyst for technological progress. He wanted to build a vast empire in North America, which naturally clashed with the interests of the whites. It is quite possible that the second and even third industrial revolution will come early because of the oppression of corporations, the inspiration of corporate weapons, and the theft of weapons by white people. In this case, holding a hole card in your hand that will not be obsolete for two hundred years is the guarantee of the future empire.

He doesn't ask for any of the latest technology, this time, he just said that he will collect rags, all kinds of backward and idle weapons, he will collect. In order to prevent accidents in this military procurement, the three of them took a good look at it and laid out a big picture. Now Huaguo knows that Xiao Lin has a close relationship with Zarqam, and has helped Huaguo export nearly 50 billion US dollars of weapons and equipment to them. Among them, there are high-tech advanced tank aircraft, and there are rifle grenades in the 80s. With this impression, it is possible to disguise themselves as arms brokers.

Qu Jun and Yu Xiao returned with the company's Einsatzgruppen team composed of veterans, found an African warlord, subdued him with money and force, and made him exist as a hidden arms demander. According to their design, it was this person who discovered a new big gold mine, hid behind the scenes, and entrusted Xiao Lin to purchase enough weapons and equipment for him to overthrow the traitorous government supported by the Omi state and make himself the new leader of the country.

Because the country's literate population is sparse, and the country's army equipment is also extremely backward, it is still the equipment of the Wanguo brand, so it is enough to ask for a sturdy and durable weapon that can fire guns. Of course, Xiao Lin will not take the initiative to expose him, but will do their best to hide the existence of this person. However, with the intelligence agency of a large country, this kind of thing will certainly not be hidden. It won't be long before they realize that something is wrong.

Then, Xiao Lin and the others can throw this warlord out and make him a shield. Of course, in order to be absolutely realistic, Sholin would take a portion of the weapons he purchased to help him build an army that would use them all. This is also one of the costs of getting the warlord to admit to it, as long as it is delayed until Xiao Lin completes his procurement plan, Xiao Lin does not care whether he will be investigated by the state.

Anyway, he can drag it out for as long as he can, and with the extra time, he can also buy more weapons and equipment. In order to make the country pay attention to the first purchase, let them throw a mouse, dare not offend the big customers, and increase the time for disguise. Xiao Lin deliberately asked the company's people to work hard to collect a huge amount of gold, as well as a number of Western cultural relics that have been determined to have been lost in the 21st century, according to the market value, 20 billion yuan, and then came to the assembly department.

As soon as they heard this, they received Xiao Lin's property and immediately brought in experts for valuation. After that, their attitude was surprisingly good. A major general, accompanied by two colonels personally, visited the General Assembly Department for half a day, and then held a welcome banquet in the canteen here. Here are often entertained those big foreign customers, the chef's skills are better than those of five-star hotels, anyway, Xiao Lin is very satisfied with the food. In addition, Xiao Lin is a person who once served in the best special forces in the country, and the two sides get along very happily.

I will come here soon, and after learning all the information about Xiao Lin, I immediately decided to meet this capable junior. There are so many retired people from the FB army, just to the point that he is a big entrepreneur, he can become an arms dealer, and it is also thanks to Huaguo, if they didn't have to let Xiao Lin be the representative of Sorento, they would not be found by African warlords, so, according to his judgment, Xiao Lin is completely credible.
