Chapter one thousand four hundred and four Huge arms purchase case
William II felt a shock, even if the two countries did not reach a military alliance, but now Zhang Yi promised to fight against Russia when going to war, that would be a great help to Germany. Now the strength of the Chinese revolutionary army has not been weaker than that of Russia, which is to say, it is not suitable for the cold climate of Russia. If it is elsewhere, Russia is definitely not an opponent of the Chinese revolutionary army!
William II laughed. "Thank you, General Hao Jian. In this case, I’m relieved. I pay great respect to General Jian’s honesty."
Zhang Yi leaned forward and then said, "It’s not a big problem to pursue what you said about the military procurement case. Our two countries are in harmony. If our country has it, we will spare no effort to promote it to your country, but this time your country has seen our military equipment." But to tell you the truth, you can forget about the plane for the time being. We really have no spare capacity, hehe … "
William II laughed "plane? Hehe, we naturally know that you are out of goods now, but besides the plane, we still have his equipment. This time, we are aiming at the warships and submarines to strengthen the general. You should know that the naval power of the British Empire is too strong to be matched by us. At the very least, it is difficult for a warship to reach their level and scale in ten years. Your asymmetric strategy can be said that the submarine technology of the German Empire is now at the leading level in the world, and we need submarines in the face of a huge British fleet. The number is too large. If we want to effectively pose a sufficient threat to British warships, I think we need at least hundreds of submarines to complete the production of so many submarines for so many years. It is not what our German Empire can accomplish. Two-thirds of the submarines in our plan are produced by ourselves. We entrust your country with our submarine technology. You will complete the production of all submarines. Of course, we hope that your country can give us a price. After all, technology investment is also a kind of capital. "
Zhang Yi smiled faintly and said, "It’s impossible for William to pay the price. I have an alternative plan. You choose the first price and add 20 thousand pounds to each submarine. After all, we need to pay our workers and depreciate our fixed assets. These are all if we work in your country, I’m afraid our parliament won’t agree with us!"
"no! General Jian, you are a vampire. It’s a hundred submarines. It’s an extra 20 thousand pounds for one. That’s two or three million pounds. This is a great number. Even if you do business, the general profit is only about 10%, right? "
William II’s nose is almost out of breath. The cost of a submarine is only 167,000 pounds. If you add 20,000 pounds, it will almost exceed the estimated price of the former Xiaomuzhi. How can this be enough?
Zhang Yi laughed. "William, what about you? If we produce submarines ourselves and sell them, we will sell them for 200,000 pounds. Now we have cut the price of your technology to partially offset your submarine technology. This is millions of pounds, not tens of thousands of pounds!"
Xiao Maoqi replied, "General Jian, don’t forget that we have trained a large number of engineers with excellent skills from your country in addition to technology!"
Zhang Yi shook his head and said, "Well, I’m willing to make another step. Twenty-five thousand pounds per submarine can’t be less!"
"Ten thousand pounds!"
"Twenty-five thousand pounds!"
"fifteen thousand pounds!"
"Twenty-five thousand pounds!"
"Sixteen thousand pounds!"
"Twenty-five thousand pounds!"
"Ten thousand pounds!"
"Twenty-five thousand pounds!"
"Twenty thousand pounds! General Jian can’t add any more. If not, then we have cancelled the deal! "
Zhang Yi jumped with a frown and replied, "Well, 20,000 pounds will give you a big bargain."
William II pie pie replied, "Come on, General Jian, don’t pretend to be a big head. You’ve made a lot of money this time. You’re becoming more and more like a profiteer!"
Zhang Yi laughed and didn’t answer the words.
William II went on to say, "The next thing is warships. I want to offer your country 20 Zheng He-class improved patrol ships in five years. Is this a big deal?"
Zhang Yi wry smile way "this is really a big head, but your appetite is too big. We will try our best to produce four or five Zheng He-class main warships a year. Once you take away our five-year total output, what about our own navy? Now our navy also needs to be built. We have sold all the warships to you. What shall we do? "
William II laughed. "General Jian, anyway, I’m going to put twenty ships here for five years. Either I want them or I don’t want them to pass in five years. Isn’t it okay for you to equip the Chinese Revolutionary Army with warships after five years?"
Zhang yi face a heavy asked "William positions are you sure you are not kidding? Do you think any country has produced advanced weapons and is not too equipped with its own country? "
William II smiled awkwardly and said, "Why don’t you transfer the technology to us for our own production?"
Zhang yi didn’t good the spirit way "dream! In this way, I hope that I can help your country with three Zheng He-class warships every year, but don’t think about the price. We will never sell them cheaply! "
William II pie pie replied, "I know this is a sharp weapon of your strategic weapon country. How can you make people easily? Do you think a warship is worth 1.2 million pounds? "
One million two hundred thousand pounds, which is already the price of the British dreaded warship. Zheng He’s hull is slightly smaller than the dreaded warship, and there are two fewer naval guns. According to William II’s idea, the price is already very affordable! Is William II said confidently!
"no! Don’t even think about it! "
Zhang yi firmly replied!
Chapter one thousand four hundred and five Huge arms purchase case
Zhang Yi directly rejected William II without saying a word, and then said, "William doesn’t have 2 million pounds. You can’t even think about taking one of our Zhenghe-class warships!"
Looking at Zhang Yi’s firmness, William II said urgently, "General Jian, you want to white the dreaded warships of the British Empire, but it is only 1.2 million pounds. Although Zheng He’s warships are advanced, how can they exceed the price of dreaded warships in terms of scale?"
Zhang Yi sneered, "The real price of a plane is only 100,000 pounds. What, when I sell it to 300,000 pounds, you are all rushing to buy it? Don’t you know the strategy of Zheng He-class warships? But he can directly build a fighter plane, not to mention a formidable warship, even two formidable warships, there is also a death! "
William II said quickly, "General Jian, the fighter plane can be sold for 300,000 pounds at the beginning. That’s just that there are no fighters in all countries and you can develop and produce them. Of course, things are rare and expensive, but warships are not that big and your asking price is too outrageous. This is beyond the limit we can bear! Two million pounds, twenty warships, that’s forty million pounds! It has exceeded our budget, and now the entire naval military budget of our country is only 60 million pounds! "
Zhang Yi sneered, "If you don’t have that much money, you can buy less. I think all the powerful countries in the world want to buy it. I am worried that there is no extra money to share with you!"
William II turned green when he cried and sold it to his country? What other country besides Britain, America and France can afford to buy such a luxurious warship!
William II said bitterly, "General Jian, don’t always be aggressive. The price of two million pounds is really unacceptable. Don’t say that a country in the German Empire is absolutely reluctant to escape from two million pounds to buy a warship!"
"Ha ha ha William positions don’t try how do we know Zheng He ship can sell? In this way, William can stay in Beijing for a long time, and I immediately thought that Britain, the United States, France and Russia would announce a Zheng He-class warship for 2 million pounds. I’d like to see if this price can be sold! "
A Zheng He-class warship sells for 2 million pounds. Maybe his country can’t afford to buy 20 ships in such a big breath, but what if he buys two? What if you buy five? Presumably, all countries can reluctantly accept it.
William II looked at the side of Xiaomuzhi Xiaomuzhi and motioned for the naval commander Muller next to him to make a more detailed accounting to see if it was a good deal (please visit the website for more exciting online novels).
Muller’s eyes flashed and said, "General Jian, the price of 2 million is really too high, but if your country can equip us with two or three fighters per warship, I think this price is acceptable to us. What do you think?"
William II has a bright eye. Yes, it’s a beautiful way to give away three fighter planes, which means that the price of the Republic of China has been reduced by 300 thousand pounds, but for Germany, it means that it has been reduced by 600 thousand pounds. A Zheng He-class warship of 1.4 million pounds can be reluctantly accepted.
William II said with a smile, "General Jian, my naval commander’s suggestion is good for you, but the addition of three planes is only two or three hundred thousand pounds, but it is rare. But we are willing to bargain with General Jian, otherwise we can’t afford to buy this warship if it exceeds 1.5 million pounds!"
Zhang Yi was a little surprised. Look at one side. Muller didn’t think that it was not easy to have a business mind.
Zhang Yi didn’t answer, but Tang Shaoyi spoke. "William, since you have such a suggestion, why don’t we just pack and sell each warship and plane to you? We will sell a Zheng He-class warship for 2 million pounds and keep the plane unchanged. We will sell it for half and send you 500 thousand pounds to configure it?"
Zhang Yi’s face turned black. It’s good to knock down Tang Shaoyi’s abacus. Where did you get so many planes? If you want to know a Zhenghe ship, it comes standard with 20 fighter planes and 20 warships. That’s 160. This guy knows how to make money, but he doesn’t consider whether his production capacity can bear it.
In William II’s heart, I have been happy for a long time. Although Germany spends more money, it is obviously more cost-effective. Even if I buy these 160 fighters alone, I need 20 million pounds less. Moreover, even if I have money, the Republic of China may not sell them. This involves the issue of international strategic balance. Zhang Yi absolutely dare not make such a decision easily. Only a layman like Tang Shaoyi will make such a decision.
William II laughed and cried, "Done! In this way, a total of 50 million pounds, even if the German Empire is financially tight, I will do this deal! "
Zhang Yi gave Tang Shaoyi a hard stare. Tang Shaoyi also felt that he seemed to have said something wrong. His face turned red and he was in trouble.
Aside Xu Huaijin laughed. "Although William’s position is very reasonable, Premier Tang does have great difficulties. We can’t build twenty warships in five years, even if we build them, we need to join the Chinese naval fleet sequence. We can’t sell twenty warships to your country in five years, at most, 15 warships; It’s even more impossible for fighter planes. Don’t forget that the production capacity of our aircraft factory in the next five years has been divided up by the first European and American powers in your country. Where can we regenerate more than 160 aircraft? Don’t say 160, even 60, is probably enough. I’m afraid your wish will fall this time. Don’t say 50 million pounds. Even if you pay 10 million pounds, we can’t produce it. What should we do? "
William II got carried away and froze. Yes, no matter how much money you have, what does it matter if people can’t produce it?
William II looked at Mueller and said, "Mueller, what do you think we should do next?"
Muller smiled and replied, "This is simple, and it is difficult for our country to raise so much. Why don’t we postpone the contract until the fifth year of 2008, and purchase 15 warships first, and then deliver them to us for fighter planes in the next three years? What do you think?"
Zhang Yi’s language is too cruel. The Germans are too cruel!
Chapter one thousand four hundred and six Huge arms purchase case
What should we do?
Is this the time to overturn the original words and renegotiate?
Even if William II is willing, it will be harmful to the international image of the Republic of China. What’s more, if Tang Shaoyi has thrown it out at this time, it will hurt Tang Shaoyi’s prestige and face too much. At the same time, William II is not willing. Now Muller has made a compromise. If you don’t accept it, then Germany and China will be in trouble
However, such a huge procurement case is enough to subvert the absolute dominance of the British navy in the Atlantic Ocean. Even if the German navy is still not an opponent, the gap between the British navy and the British navy will not be much.
I’m afraid that the British will go crazy when they get the news, but it can also be like this. If it’s a big deal, pick a fire for the British Belfo and give him some advice
Zhang Yinai said, "General Mueller’s warship can be built according to your plan, but the plane can’t. Even in, we can’t squeeze out so many planes. There is really no spare capacity. By, we can solve the problem of 100 planes and the remaining 60 must be taken out of your own fighter sequence by your country."
William II nodded. At this time, Zhang Yi can’t be pushed too hard. It’s big enough to take advantage of himself. Enough is enough.
Andrew grinned at the back. "Since it’s such a strong general, you have to give me a little more discount. Sixty planes are not a small number. Hey hey …"
Zhang Yi gave Andrew a grumpy stare. This guy is so hateful that he took advantage of it and wanted to take a step further!
Xu Huaijin mused, "Well, we can charge your country 3 million pounds less than the original price, which is the best concession we can make!"
