Chen Hao was very tempted by the 3.2 million pounds, but he was willing to accept the second condition not because of money, but because he wanted to improve the quality of the Russian Navy's warships. Japanese NPCs and players have purchased a large number of warships. After the Japanese warships are put into service, the Russians' old
The old fleet was no match at all. If Russia also ordered warships, the Russo-Japanese War might last longer.
Chen Hao finally shook his head. If he accepted the Russian's second reward method, his plan to upgrade the shipyard would be ruined. Then all his shipbuilding technicians and four large shipyards would have to be used to build for the Russians.
For Invincible-class battlecruisers, the replenishment of his own fleet of warships will be delayed.
Kuropatkin said doubtfully: "Your Excellency Chen Baxian, may I ask why you rejected this suggestion? The price for our country's order of Invincible-class battlecruisers is already very generous."
Chen Hao smiled bitterly and said: "It's not because of money. If the scale of your shipyard is not expanded, I will not be able to complete your order. The reward method I agreed with the Commander before is necessary for me to expand the scale of the shipyard, so
I can only choose to accept the first reward method."
Kuropatkin laughed loudly and said: "I also guessed the reason for Commander Chen's refusal. I am willing to change the reward method within my authority. I can provide you with regular rewards. At the same time, our country will continue to order four weapons from you.
A battlecruiser, but the order price can only be 2 million pounds."
"good!"
Chen Hao readily agreed to the Russian commander's conditions, and suddenly felt that the indecisive Russian commander had become more pleasing to the eye. With this reward method, he could expand the shipyard and accumulate technology for the Russians to build warships. Although every
The profit from the boat was only 200,000 pounds, but for the time being he was not short of money.
The size of the Russian fleet is not small. After the Japanese order new ships, the Russians' disadvantage lies in the quality of the warships. The Japanese new ships surpass the Russians in speed and firepower, but if the Russians have four advanced and invincible ships,
-class battlecruisers, coupled with a large number of old ships, the Japanese may not necessarily have an advantage even if new ships are put into service.
After accepting the reward provided by Russia, Chen Hao quickly left, saying that the troops must return to Cam Ranh Bay to rest and make arrangements for the production of battlecruisers for Russia. He arrived at Yingkou on a destroyer and met with the main fleet of Cam Ranh Bay in Yingkou.
, after the Russians sent over technicians and various drawings, the fleet returned to Cam Ranh Bay in a mighty manner.
Chen Hao came to the shipyard immediately and handed the technicians and shipyard construction drawings to Xu Jianyin, asking Xu Jianyin to start building the shipyard and arrange the construction of the Invincible-class battlecruiser as soon as possible. Xu Jianyin was very happy after seeing so many drawings.
Excited, after learning that the Russians were also ordering warships in Cam Ranh Bay, he stated that he would overcome the difficulties and start production as soon as possible.
The adjutant of Chen Hao's command quickly reported to him that it was the French stranger Silva who sent electricity many times. After reading the telegram, Chen Hao couldn't help but laugh. Silva saw him building a lot of construction projects in Cam Ranh Bay and didn't look for him for a long time.
I acted as an intermediary to purchase items, and I was worried that I would lose him as a big customer, so I was a little anxious.
Chen Hao took the initiative to call Silva back and said that he would visit Saigon. Silva quickly called back to express his welcome. When he arrived at Silva's residence in Saigon, Silva said with a depressed look on his face: "Chen, you have been very popular recently.
, has caused great losses to the Japanese continuously, but are you not ready to do business between us?"
Chen Hao shook his head and said: "My friend, why do you think so? When you cooperated with me, you were interested in the Chinese market and hoped that I would use my maritime strength to do arms business with you. I helped the Russians fight against Japan.
In order to clear obstacles at sea, arms can be continuously transported to our country for sale."
Silva's face lit up and he said, "You mean we can start our cooperation now?"
Chen Hao nodded and said: "Yes, no matter how many arms you ship from Europe, I will buy them all at the agreed price. In addition, I personally need to purchase some items."
Silva patted his chest and said, "Chen, just tell me what you want to buy and I will buy it for you."
Chen Hao said calmly: "Silva, I don't think you can talk so much. Didn't you buy the artillery technology I asked you to buy for me?"
Silva said awkwardly: "Chen, Krupp's artillery technology is the core technology in the game, how can it be so easy to obtain? I have tried my best, and my people have been doing tasks, but success will take some time.
"
Chen Hao nodded and said: "Okay! I believe you. In addition to Krupp's artillery technology, I also need new German armor technology. I will first order the large-caliber artillery and armor required for four Invincible-class battleships.
, and I also need artillery pieces for ten destroyers, you can purchase these for me first! But I like to be more honest among friends. If you continue to be so perfunctory within six months, I will say that you can't buy the technology, and our cooperation will end here."
Silva's men have already approached Krupp's top management. If Chen Haoshe bids, Krupp's artillery technology is likely to be obtained. However, Silva is not too concerned about this matter. He is afraid that Chen Hao has a perfect
After receiving the military technology, it will affect his business. Now that he heard that Chen Hao had given a six-month deadline, he couldn't help but hesitate. If he really gave the artillery technology to the other party within six months, would he still purchase weapons and equipment in the future?
Chen Hao saw through Silva's thoughts. He shook his head and said: "Silva, I know what you are thinking, but I hope you will take a longer view. It will be good if my arsenal can meet its own needs. Our country has recent
There are one billion players, and the weapons they need are an astronomical number. Would you rather be a business of one person or a business of a billion people?"
"Besides, I can only purchase ordnance equipment. You have the final say on how much to purchase. Our country will not be able to produce precision machinery on its own within ten years. The artillery I produce is used on warships in the shipyard, and I also
I guarantee that I will sell as much arms as you bring, so what are you worried about?"
Silva finally nodded and said: "Okay! I will try my best to buy artillery production technology for you within half a year. However, Germany's new armor technology level is still higher than that of the British. At this time, the core technology will not be available within one year."
It’s impossible to obtain it. If you are willing to purchase this kind of armor in large quantities in a long-term and stable manner, my relationship with the German NPC will get better and better, and maybe there will be opportunities in the future.”
"Okay, as you said, I will need artillery technology within half a year."
After Chen Hao reached an agreement with Silva, he immediately bought all the arms that Silva had recently stored in Vietnam, and at the same time arranged for a fleet to escort merchant ships back to China. After the fleet entered China's territorial waters, it headed north along the coastline, and then anchored at
Arriving at Yingkou.
Chen Hao and Zui Shengmeng Death reached an agreement through telegrams. His arms will be sold to Zui Shengmeng Death in large quantities, and Zui Shengmeng Death will sell them domestically. Chen Hao is Silva's spokesperson in Indochina, and Zui Shengmeng Death is his spokesperson in China.
Selling weapons and ammunition is much more convenient than selling it himself.
Zuishengmengsheng is a child of a top family. His identity was exposed half a year ago, so he has a wide network of contacts. Arms are very popular in China. Zuishengmengsheng has no problem selling them at high prices. In this way, everyone in the three links can make money. Chen Hao led the fleet to occupy Jinlan.
When he was in Taiwan, Zuishengmengsheng had the idea of entering the Korean Peninsula for development, and he made a lot of preparations for this. Unfortunately, the result of the Russo-Japanese War was changed by Chen Hao. The Japanese army retreated to the Korean Peninsula, which affected his plan.
Zuishengmengsheng has been doing well recently. When the Russians attacked North Korea, his Benxi troops played a big role. He gained the trust of Kuropatkin, so he successfully led his troops into the Korean Peninsula and established a base in Jiashan
.He became the second player after Chen Hao to open a base abroad.
Unsatisfied with one base area, the Russian Kuropatkin appointed him a position, so he exerted a lot of energy in Northeast Korea. After establishing the base area in Jiashan, he quickly began to lay out and prepare to build more base areas.
Since he became the second player to establish a base abroad and gained great fame, a large number of players came to invest and there was no shortage of people. What was lacking was unified institutional equipment.
After Chen Hao's fleet arrived at Yingkou smoothly, Zuishengmengsheng was already waiting at Yingkou. He bought all the arms in cash. After completing the transaction, Zuishengmengsheng said with a smile: "Brother Chen, you and I have been working together for many years, and your navy has been in the limelight recently.
My brother is jealous! Are you interested in selling some warships?"
Chen Hao originally had a plan to sell warships to domestic players. Now that the scale of the shipyard has expanded, he just needs to find a market for the warships. After listening to Zui Shengmengsi's words, he pondered for a moment and said: "Now I am ahead of other players because I have warships.
Originally, I planned to build new ships on my own to increase my strength. Now that Brother Zui Sheng Meng Si has spoken, it is not impossible for me to sell you a few ships. Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard’s current technology is not perfect, and the cost of producing warships will be very high. Brother Zui Sheng Meng Si, please don’t accuse me of cheating.
Just you."
Zuishengmengside said lazily: "How much does an Invincible-class battlecruiser cost?"
"2.4 million, because I took the order from the Russians, so you can only order two ships at most."
Zui Sheng Meng Sheng thought about it, grinned and said: "I will order a temporary cruiser in the future. Now I only have a small port, so it is more cost-effective to buy a small armored cruiser and destroyer. I will list the requirements for the warships I want later. Brother Chen, you
Calculate the price for me. If the price is right, I will buy more."
Chen Hao understood Zuishengmengsheng's plan. With the current exchange rate of game currency for real currency, it is not cost-effective to buy the expensive Invincible class. Zuishengmengsheng must be like him at the beginning, wanting to buy some small warships to build up the navy.
After the troops' capabilities are improved, they begin to purchase large warships to increase their strength. (To be continued.)
