Siheyuan: The soul travels through time and space to change fate

After Xu Damao came back, he was supposed to have a few days of rest. After all, he hadn't been home much since the transformation of the destroyer began.

Even if I return to the city of Sijiu, I should rest for a few days.

But the next day, he had just finished breakfast.

Director Yan of the Ministry of Industry, Deputy Director Wang of the Red Star Factory, and a director named Zhang from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came to see us.

"Have you guys eaten yet? How about we eat some more together?"

This is just a daily greeting, these three people don’t take it seriously.

But today, an unexpected situation occurred.

"Da Mao, you must have brought back a lot of good things from the south. We will have lunch at your house today. Shi Lin, go next door and tell Director He not to go to the field today. Just cook for us here."

When Deputy Director Wang came here, he didn't treat himself as an outsider at all.

Shi Lin looked at Xu Damao, and after seeing him nod, he went over to inform He Yuzhu.

"Okay, Director Wang, I'll go find Director He right away."

"Everyone, let's talk in the study.

Mingyuan, prepare some materials for the pillars later."

Zhang Mingyuan is almost becoming Xu Damao's housekeeper now. Anyway, all subsidies except salary are basically handed over to him to handle.

Even if they were some specialties brought back from outside, Xu Damao asked Zhang Mingyuan to store them.

As for Lou Xiao'e, after she became pregnant, she was too lazy to take care of these things except practicing boxing.

He brought these people to the study and asked them to sit at the tea table. Then Xu Damao made tea while asking questions.

"Brother Wang, please introduce him to me. This person looks a little unfamiliar!"

The person from the diplomatic department hasn't spoken since he came in.

Moreover, when we were outside, neither Deputy Director Wang nor Director Yan showed any intention of introducing us.

Perhaps this person's identity is also a bit special!

"No need to bother Director Wang. My last name is Zhang, and I'm the director of the Arms Trade Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Engineer Xu can just call me Director Zhang, or Old Zhang.

This time, I came here and disturbed Mr. Xu's rest."

Director Zhang was very enthusiastic when he first spoke.

"I'll call you Brother Zhang, and you can just call me Xiao Xu, or Damao! The three of you came here together this time, probably to export products, right?

Can we talk together?"

There is still a huge difference between military product sales and ordinary product sales.

Although the three of them came together, it is hard to say whether they can discuss the matter together.

“These are all businesses related to Big Brother, we can discuss them together.

And we also want to gain other benefits through military trade.”

Only Director Zhang can confirm this matter.

"Tell me in detail!"

“Big Brother wants to buy our destroyers and related technologies.

The other party is willing to forgive our 2 billion debt and order four destroyers at a price of 500 million rubles each.

We originally wanted to fight for the mushroom bomb technology, but the other party directly refused.

However, we can open a 50-mile-wide outlet to the sea in Yanbian area, and all the land and territorial waters can be allocated to us.

The superior means that it can be agreed.

However, the design of the destroyer must be changed. It cannot be directly copied from the existing meritorious destroyer.

After all, we just asked the Eagle Sauce for 3 billion US dollars, so we still have to keep our promise.

This time I came here just to ask you how much it would cost to design and build a 6,000-ton destroyer.

When we sell it to the outside world, the price is more cost-effective.”

The other party does not want to give the mushroom bomb technology. As for the 50-kilometer outlet to the sea, it will be useless if there is no deep-water port there.

In this era, it is extremely difficult to dig a deep-water port directly on the beach.

Therefore, this outlet to the sea is useless in Xu Damao's view.

It is a pipe dream to want a full set of technology just to forgive a debt of 2 billion.

If you have the ability, just buy the destroyer and dismantle it and study it yourself.

"According to our current shipbuilding level, the cost may exceed 100 million rubles, especially for the many special steel materials, which we have, but the scale is not enough.

We still need to buy it from Big Brother or other countries.

This could cost even more.

If the other party still wants the full set of technology, then this price is not enough.

Debts of more than 3.5 billion rubles must be forgiven, and the sale price of each destroyer must not be less than 800 million rubles.

And they must sell us the steel we need at a fair price.

Otherwise, I don't recommend accepting this order.

Also, how much debt do we still owe Big Brother?"

Over the past year, the Republic has made a lot of money and has always had trade relations with Big Brother's family.

The size of the national debt has been shrinking.

Xu Damao is not really clear about the current specific debt scale.

“So far, the debt is still 5.3 billion rubles, and this is also a reason why Big Brother’s family has always wanted us to follow in their footsteps.

Even Yumi Xiaofu wants to interfere in our country's internal affairs.

If there weren’t so many deals to be done right now, the relationship would be turning.”

Director Zhang did not hide the current situation of the two countries from Xu Damao, a scientist who has made outstanding contributions.

"After the Battle of Luzon, the enemy should be more wary of us, right?"

After the Battle of Luzon, the Republic had the foundation to become a maritime power. At least in the eastern oceans, neither the Eagle Sauce nor Big Brother could ignore the existence of the Republic.

In fact, as long as enough destroyers are built, the right to speak in the waters surrounding the Republic will shift from the hands of the Eagle Sauce to the hands of the Republic.

The Republic is a neighboring country to the Big Brother, and the Russians are well aware that they will not allow others to sleep soundly next to their own bed.

Therefore, Xu Damao estimated that some of the other party’s domestic high-level officials must have wanted to suppress the development of the Republic.

"Of course, this is something that can be understood without any investigation. In my opinion, this destroyer should not be sold to them!"

Before Director Zhang responded, Deputy Director Wang put forward his own opinion.

In his opinion, the current destroyers are the most powerful weapons of the Republic. Unless Big Brother is willing to exchange them for mushroom bombs, they should not be sold.

“I have to sell it. After all, I built the destroyer, and the final control is in my hands.

If someone comes to you and gives you money, why don't you make some money? Isn't that inappropriate?"
