Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

A few years ago, the Kangaroo Country would never have received guests from the Dragon Country with such high standards.

This is a moment.

The economic development of Longguo has been recognized by the whole world, and its economic size is about to approach the threshold of developed countries.

The Northern Machinery Group has also established cooperative relations with large enterprises in the territories of the Kangaroo Country.

For various reasons, the Kangaroo Country will use the etiquette for welcoming heads of state of other countries to welcome military inspection teams.

The convoy arrived at the hotel at 4:20 pm.

The welcome dinner will be held at 7 o'clock in the hotel banquet hall.

The Governor-General of the Kangaroo Country, a large number of senior parliamentary officials, and military generals will all appear at the reception dinner.

While there was still some time before the dinner started, Lin Kaifeng came to Tang Wenyu's room alone.

Report the preparations made in recent days to the military.

In the room, Lin Kaifeng talked about several current problems.

The first is, of course, the issue of price.

Not all Westerners are willing to put Longguo on an equal footing.

Nor will they easily give up their superior attitude.

Even though it has been ten years since Dragon Kingdom returned to the mainstream world.

Some senior officials in Kangaroo Country must have such thoughts.

Even if what is being sold is an empty shell of an aircraft carrier, Longguo will spend a large sum of money to buy it.

Longguo is still an ancient, backward and underdeveloped country, and it cannot build an aircraft carrier even if it tries its best.

The Kangaroo Country is willing to sell, which is equivalent to giving Dragon Country a huge face.

It is not Longguo’s turn to bargain.

Tang Wenyu smiled bitterly.

Lin Kaifeng imitated the arrogant faces of Westerners very vividly.

Lin Kaifeng continued: "Second, the island country is interfering."

"Although the Dragon Country Threat Theory concocted by Noda Jiro was refuted by our group, it also proves from another perspective that the island country is planning to completely break off relations with us."

"Describing our Dragon Country as the second Soviet Union is the best proof."

Lin Kaifeng suggested taking the initiative to bargain.

Be firm in your attitude and clear in your price.

In addition, someone needs to be sent to communicate with the circular office.

Say a thousand words and ten thousand words.

Whether or not we can successfully purchase a complete aircraft carrier depends mainly on the intention of the United States.

The United States disagrees, and even if the Kangaroo Country has ten times the courage, they would not dare to sell the drawings.

The reason why Longguo purchased the USS Moore aircraft carrier was not for military equipment.

It is even less likely to pose a threat to the United States.

It is only to enhance certain maritime defense capabilities and to protect commercial trade.

In recent years, Longguo's international export trade has been booming.

Goods need to be transported to the desert world and the Black Continent region in a steady stream to purchase mineral resources.

Countless cargo ships travel to and from these areas every day.

Ocean voyages sometimes involve encountering pirates and a series of unexpected risks.

It is normal to send naval escort.

When Lin Kaifeng took a breath, Tang Wenyu interrupted and said, "Comrade Lin Kaifeng, you have worked so hard this time. This is clearly our military's business, but you, an entrepreneur, have to run around so busy."

"General Tang, it's really too polite to say that."

"I am not only an entrepreneur, but also your economic advisor. Why should we have different opinions as family members?"

Lin Kaifeng said modestly: "The military trusts me and asks me to give advice. I will do my best to fulfill my responsibilities. Since I am the consultant for this arms purchase, I will definitely do my best to obtain the greatest benefits for us."

Seeing that Tang Wenyu wanted to say more, Lin Kaifeng waved his hand and said indifferently: "General Tang, stop being polite and let's talk about how to buy this aircraft carrier first."

According to the itinerary, everyone will go to the naval port tomorrow to visit the retired USS Moore aircraft carrier.

The day after tomorrow, the Governor's Office of Kangaroo Country and the military representatives of Dragon Country will formally start purchase negotiations.

In response to possible situations, Lin Kaifeng needs to communicate with the military first.

Analyze the various problems that may arise in the negotiations the day after tomorrow.

The next day.

General Jacob led the generals of the Kangaroo Kingdom and accompanied Tang Wenyu and his party to the military port located east of the capital.

The USS Moore has been stationed here since five years ago.

Regular maintenance is carried out every year and the weapons and equipment have not yet been removed.

Judging from the appearance, this light aircraft carrier, which is more than 40 years old, is still majestic.

People standing under the aircraft carrier look extremely small.

And this is just a 20,000-ton light aircraft carrier.

Tang Wenyu and other military leaders looked at each other.

The light aircraft carrier that was born in World War II is still so majestic.

No wonder nuclear-powered aircraft carriers can become the overlord of the sea.

……

"Gentlemen, everyone already knows what the chief and ministers mean."

"The cabinet must disrupt this aircraft carrier deal between Dragon Country and Kangaroo Country by any means necessary."

"Even if we can't destroy it, we can't let Longguo get the aircraft carrier's construction drawings and electronic equipment!"

An island metropolitan area thousands of kilometers away from the Kangaroo Country.

Defense Agency Building, Conference Room No. 1.

The current Minister of Cabinet Secretary, Juro Okawa, expressed his deep concern about the Dragon Kingdom's purchase of an aircraft carrier on behalf of the chief minister who was visiting the United States.

The cabinet ministers participating in the meeting had solemn expressions.

I didn't expect that Longguo's economy had just started to pick up and it would actually extend its hands to the aircraft carrier field.

According to the information sent back by intelligence personnel.

The Kangaroo Country is very eager to export aircraft carriers.

In order to facilitate the transaction, the highest standard of welcoming etiquette was used.

It is reported that the military of the Kangaroo Country is likely to retain all kinds of equipment on the aircraft carrier.

And sold the aircraft carrier blueprints to Longguo in a package.

Both of these points are unacceptable to the island country.

Okawa Juro said sternly: "With the current economic strength and national defense needs of the Dragon Nation, once they buy a complete aircraft carrier, it may only take a few years to build a second identical aircraft carrier and build their own aircraft carrier battle group."

"The Dragon Country's possession of an aircraft carrier will pose a serious threat to the survival of our island nation!"

After these words were spoken, all the cabinet ministers nodded.

There are historical disputes between the island country and the dragon country.

There are also conflicts over some maritime rights and interests.

In particular, the two countries have never been able to reach an agreement on the ownership of several islands.

The Defense Secretary said: "Your Excellency, I suggest that we arrange for our companies to lobby the top leaders of Kangaroo Country."

"Increase the export price of aircraft carriers and dismantle their electronic equipment and weapon systems."

"The aircraft carrier that Longguo bought at a high price can only be an empty shell."

This proposal was immediately agreed by other ministers.

Okawa Juro shook his head and said, "According to solid intelligence, Lin Kaifeng himself will appear in Kangaroo Country."

"This means that Lin Kaifeng will be involved in the negotiations on the transfer of the aircraft carrier."

"This person is an extremely cunning guy. It is impossible for him not to have thought that we would indirectly influence the decision-making of Kangaroo Country through our own economic influence."

Next, Okawa Juro shared some information beyond the transaction.

In the few days after Lin Kaifeng arrived in the Kangaroo Country, he met with Charlotte, the vice president of Holden, and Carl, the speaker of the Northern Territory and the mayor of Darwin.

It is not difficult for the island country to guess what Lin Kaifeng wants to do.
