Liu Hai was furious when he heard this, "Why do you want to increase the fee temporarily? Do you really think that I am being taken advantage of?"
Zhang Tao saw Liu Hai jumping up and down in anger, and quickly comforted him, "Don't be angry yet. I think Russia is very kind this time. The four anti-ship missile launchers installed on the cruiser for you are all "Sandfly"
"In the 1990s, the United States wanted to purchase anti-ship missiles for several times the price in U.S. dollars, but Russia rejected them."
Liu Hai wanted to laugh when he heard this, and then said: "You just said it happened in the 1990s. How many years has it been now, and you still come up with this kind of old calendar to fool me?"
"Don't say that. Although the missiles are a bit older, they are still very powerful."
After Zhang Tao said this, he glanced at Liu Hai mysteriously and said: "These warships can be used as your trump card, but they are much more powerful than those battleships."
After Liu Hai heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and then his face turned a little dark.
However, Zhang Tao quickly changed the topic, "I am very satisfied with the iron ore and oil transactions in the past few years. The country is ready to relax the restrictions on your weapons. You can also buy some advanced weapons, such as the Xiaolong fighter jet."
"
When Liu Hai heard this, he was a little disapproving. This cheap Xiaolong fighter jet costs about 20 million U.S. dollars. What can I buy with this money? If I buy a Type 59 tank, I can buy hundreds of them. If I get this
In the Qing Dynasty plane, the army could completely sweep across the continent.
Although Liu Hai doesn't want to buy these advanced fighters now, he still hasn't said anything. When one day his territory expands, he can buy some more fighters as a guarantee.
When talking about this, Liu Hai finally said his purpose this time, "Brother Zhang, I need a batch of weapons now, you can think of a way."
Zhang Tao was not surprised after hearing Liu Hai's words. According to their calculations, Liu Hai should have expanded his armaments by now.
"What weapon do you want?"
"I would use five or six and a half. This time I want 150,000. Then give me 60 mortars and 80 mortars, and then give me 1,000 each. This time I still want 122mm howitzers. How many do you have?"
?”
Zhang Tao did not answer Liu Hai immediately, but took out a tablet from the bag next to him. Then he gestured on it for a while, then raised his head and said: "Five, six and a half is no problem at all. You can have as much as you want.
60 mortars and 80 mortars? There is enough storage for 1,000 mortars? But not many 122mm howitzers were built back then? They are just temporary equipment. There are not many left now. If you want them, they will be packed and given to you.
? A total of 120 doors."
After hearing this, Liu Hai readily agreed: "Okay? I want them all. But Brother Zhang, these cannons are a bit short. How about you give me some more cannons from other places?"
Zhang Tao thought for a while and gestured on the tablet for a long time before saying: "There are still some Type 66 152mm towed cannon howitzers in the warehouse. Would you like to buy more?"
Liu Hai didn't agree to him immediately after hearing this? He also took a laptop from his desk and looked up the detailed parameters of this artillery on the Internet.
Zhang Tao looked at Liu Hai's actions, a little funny, and said directly: "Don't check, I have them here, I will introduce them to you directly."
Liu Hai hummed and smiled, "Brother Zhang is still thoughtful, so I'm all ears."
Zhang Tao shook his head, and then reported the detailed parameters of this artillery, "Total weight in combat status: 5650 kilograms; firing line height: 1220 millimeters; barrel length: 4240 millimeters; muzzle velocity: 655 meters per second; maximum range: 17404 meters
; Minimum firing range: 4400 meters; Direct firing range: 800 meters; Maximum rate of fire: 6-8 rounds/minute; Number of gun crew: 9 people!"
Zhang Tao said this, and then said proudly: "Although this artillery is also a copy of the Soviet Union, after many years of improvement in our country, it is still used in some troops and is also exported to many countries."
Liu Hai was quite satisfied after hearing this. With this artillery, Liu Hai's fire suppression in the Qing Dynasty plane could be improved to a higher level.
"Yes, I want 200 of them, and 50,000 rounds of artillery shells are being prepared for me."
"It's no problem at all. I'll call them right away and ask them to mobilize it for you."
Zhang Tao happily agreed to all Liu Hai's requests. After he finished speaking, he asked tentatively: "You really don't want the plane. Even if you don't want the Xiaolong, you can also want something else."
Then Zhang Tao began to recommend to Liu Hai old-fashioned Chinese aircraft, such as Qiang 5 J-6, etc.
It seems that Zhang Tao came with a mission this time. He wanted to sell all these old guys who had been in stock for many years to Liu Hai and let him use his remaining heat.
But Liu Hai really doesn't need these planes now. In the Qing Dynasty, Liu Hai has not yet established a fixed territory. Although he is now the governor of Liangjiang, most of the people in the Liangjiang area are officials sent by the Qing Dynasty. He is not yet able to fully
Control, for these weapons that are hundreds of years beyond the plane, Liu Hai does not want to show them to the Western powers as a demonstration.
"Brother Zhang, my situation is a bit special. I really don't need these weapons now, but don't worry, I will definitely purchase them on a large scale in a few years."
When Zhang Tao saw Liu Hai, he really had no intention of purchasing these aircraft and could only sigh. It seemed that this mission could not be completed.
After the two parties talked about some common household matters, Zhang Tao took his leave. Liu Hai personally escorted him out of the door before returning.
At this time, Wang Fang had also finished making lunch. When he came out and saw Zhang Tao leaving, he was surprised and asked: "Mr. Zhang didn't stay for dinner today?"
"Whatever, let's eat what we have."
Then the husband and wife were finally able to sit together and have a long-awaited reunion dinner.
While eating, Liu Hai asked the factories he ordered from Zhang Tao last time if all the goods had arrived.
After Wang Fang heard this, he remembered this matter, and then the boss was unhappy, "I don't know what you want those scraps of copper and iron for. They are all old equipment from decades ago. Now they are placed in the warehouse.
A large part of the area has greatly reduced the utilization rate of the warehouse."
"Okay, honey, stop complaining, I will take them away this time."
Liu Hai now has a semi-fixed territory in the Qing Dynasty plane. He can build factories and make some contributions to the Westernization Movement in the Qing Dynasty plane.
Liu Hai rested at home for a day, and then took a plane straight to Qingdao, where he saw the four Iowa-class battleships he had been looking forward to for a long time.
Accompanied by shipyard personnel, Liu Hai boarded one of the warships, and then visited the entire warship under the guidance of shipyard personnel. After the visit, Liu Hai was very satisfied with the modification.
The early modifications to the Iowa battleships were mainly to install long-range warning radars from the 1970s and 1980s, as well as air defense radars and gun sighting radars.
In addition, a series of repairs and improvements were made to the propulsion system, which revitalized the old battleship.
The current four Iowa-class battleships, as long as they are fully manned, can gallop and fight on the sea.
That night, after Liu Hai drove all the shipyard personnel out of the slipway, he received all the Iowa-class battleships into his space ring.
When the shipyard personnel arrived the next day, they were very surprised to see that all four behemoths were missing. Fortunately, Zhang Tao asked them not to discuss the matter on the grounds of military confidentiality. Otherwise, I am afraid that Qingdao Shipyard would
There are going to be rumors of a haunting.
After Liu Hai collected four warships, he then entrusted Zhang Tao to send a report to Russia, requesting that the Maxim Gorky-class cruiser be driven to the Qingdao dock immediately after the two ships were refitted.
However, there is no time to receive these two cruisers this time. There are too many things going on in the Qing Dynasty plane, and we cannot wait for the arrival of these two cruisers in the modern plane. It seems that we can only receive them next time.
After Liu Hai took over four battleships, he returned to City T with satisfaction. Then he installed all the equipment from more than a dozen factories purchased last time into the space ring, and said goodbye to Wang Fang reluctantly.
Returned to the Qing Dynasty plane.
Although Liu Hai has not been away from the Qing Dynasty for a long time, he is very concerned about this matter. After all, he has only served as the governor of Liangjiang, and his position is not yet stable. After being away for such a long time, he is really worried.
If the soldiers under his command were not all controlled by their own biochemicals, Liu Hai would have been infiltrated into a sieve by the Qing Dynasty group after being away for such a long time.
Sure enough, they received it after Liu Hai came back. Lu Chun, Ye Faguang and the others reported that the Qing court had sent people to contact them continuously in the past few days, and made officials and made a wish. As long as they could surrender to the imperial court, they would be promoted to noble positions immediately, including the youngest ones.
It's to give them a marquis.
Liu Hai had already anticipated these little moves by the court. It would be strange if the Qing court did not divide and disintegrate Liu Hai's tribe.
Therefore, Liu Hai just ordered his intelligence chief Xiao Kun to pay attention to this matter and then left it alone.
Next, Liu Hai continued to order people to strengthen the training of the 130,000 Green Battalion, striving to form combat effectiveness within a month.
Finally at the end of the year, the training of these people was finally completed. Liu Hai divided them into 13 divisions. Together with the original 5 Hunan Army divisions and the Marine Corps, Liu Hai had a total of nearly 190,000 regular troops.
Liu Hai then divided the 190,000 troops into six front armies, each of which controlled three divisions.
Among them, the Marine Corps was also included in this force. As the first army, it controlled 4 divisions and was led by Liu Hai's confidant Liu Zhi. This was the force Liu Hai started, so it naturally had some preferential treatment.
At this point, Liu Hai had completed control of the entire Liangjiang area. By now, the entire Qing Dynasty had missed the opportunity to annihilate Liu Hai.
If Empress Dowager Cixi had known that some time ago, Liu Hai was just a powerful person but a powerful person, and that as long as she used all the efforts of the whole country, Liu Hai might be able to be eliminated, then she would definitely regret it now.
After Liu Hai completed the reorganization of the troops, he immediately sent the two armies to Anhui and Jiangxi respectively, which was regarded as complete control of these two provinces. At this point, the Liangjiang area was under Liu Hai's control and was impregnable.
