Chapter 360: Dealer’s Methods (Third Update)

So the Daiying military submitted a detailed modification plan to the parliament. Some people in the parliament immediately stood up to oppose it, thinking it was a waste of taxpayers' money.

"These bastards in the military just want to use our tax dollars."

"An outdated thing designed 25 years ago still costs so much to modify."

"It's just rubbing our intelligence on the ground. I suggest it be scrapped directly."

"It actually still uses backward steam power."

"It is impossible to scrap it. After all, it only entered service in 61."

"I suggest a thorough investigation: why was it launched in 45 and not put into service until 61? How much taxpayer money was wasted during this period?"

So a group of congressmen began to quarrel in parliament, and of course the media would follow up and report on it.

This incident caused such a stir that some officials from the Bear Kingdom even said that the three warships of the Imperial Navy were the junk from 25 years ago.

Many military experts have also said that these three ships are indeed somewhat backward and not worthy of our current British navy.

Then it was reported that Great Britain was preparing to sell these three ships. There were still many people asking, but the price offered by Great Britain was very high. After many people from other countries asked, they expressed in the public media that if you lead Britain, you can do this If the price is sold, then there will be ghosts.

At this time, the British military said that it must not be sold below this price. If it is lower than this price, we will directly modify it.

correct!Two ships were refitted and the other one was used as a spare part.

Now some members of the parliament are no longer willing to do so. You are renovating two ships and dismantling the other one. This is a disguised form of scrapping.

As a result, there were numerous reports in the media and various experts came out with suggestions.

Some people suggested selling all three Tiger-class ships, and then using the money to build one or two more advanced warships.

When I heard that a new warship was to be built, experts naturally jumped out and asked how to build a new warship.

However, no one has quoted yet because the asking price is too high. Even the media in North America are laughing at Daiying for being a bit whimsical. Who would spend such a high price to buy your design from 25 years ago.

While still yelling loudly, we also have similar ones here that are cheaper and have been tested in actual combat, which is better than some ones that have not been tested in actual combat.

As a result, the media on both sides started bickering, and members of Congress on both sides also bickered.

Then, someone quietly raised his hand, I want to buy it.

North America was definitely not willing to do so, and immediately numerous media outlets and congressmen jumped out.

However, the British media have also responded one after another, including the MPs who are also clamoring for our affairs. We make our own decisions, and we don’t need you, the nouveau riche, the cowboys, and the country folk, to guide us.

Others said that since you object, then we will sell it to you at this price.

Of course the big brother in North America is not willing to do it. During World War II, he built a lot of ships. If he wants to buy your high-priced junk, he really thinks we are fools.

Even the Bear Country stood up to oppose it at this time. In fact, it would have been better for the Bear Country not to stand up.

Xiong Guo stood up to object. Dai Ying immediately said that he wanted to imitate the Gallic Chicken. You two big bosses put on a pair of trousers and suppressed our side. We also want to withdraw from the North Atlantic.

In the end, North America stopped talking. If we talk anymore, we will have to wear the same pants with the Bear Country. Otherwise, why would the Bear Country be opposed and you would be opposed too.

North America finally reached an agreement with Great Britain, that is, it can be sold, but some sensitive equipment must be dismantled.

Things from 25 years ago were extremely sensitive, including missile racks.

The reason why the mainland is willing to buy it is that they really like these giant ships and cannons. The steam-powered leather is durable.

In addition, the dealer is willing to take credit, and in addition, there will be acting in the future, so the price will naturally come down.

So one day later, the equipment was dismantled under the supervision of Big Brother North America, and one of the ships caught fire due to improper operation...

So the price of the other two ships was reduced by 15% because sensitive equipment was removed. As for the one that was burned, it was only 30% of the original price and was bought back as spare parts.

Because professional organizations recommend scrapping it after evaluation, because continued use is likely to have some potential risks.

A bunch of media outlets were shouting and cursing that it was you in North America who were doing something wrong and cost us a lot of money.

As for how serious the fire was, media reports and assessment agencies said it was very severe. As for the specific nature of the fire, it’s hard to say.

Anyway, ordinary people don't have the opportunity to go in and take a look. Even if they look, they can only see a pitch-black mess.

As for those who question it, they will immediately get into greater trouble due to corruption and other matters.

You have to know how much money Daiying and his group of dealers have made from relying on the mainland over the years.

One end is holding the export of these products from the mainland, and the other is holding many businessmen in Great Britain, because the mainland imports other materials, etc., so the global influence of this group of dealers will grow with the growth of transactions.

When Liu Hai heard the news, he was also shocked. At this time, the construction of the first passenger aircraft was basically completed.

"It's basically a done deal." Sun Aiguo reported the news.

Liu Hai also breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, in the implementation stage, it is better to buy the kind that is in service than to buy the earlier ones. If you buy the kind with a long service life, it will cost money and time to buy repairs, maintenance, modifications, etc. .

This kind of machine, which was only put into service in 61, can be used as soon as you get it. It does not require any maintenance and repair at all.

It seems that the price is a bit high. It is the cheap goods in the past. When you buy them, they look cheap. But after the delivery is successful, they may become more expensive.

If you don't have the ability to maintain and modify it yourself, and someone else has the final say when the time comes, you are putting yourself on the chopping block and letting others take care of it.

The third brother of later generations is an example.

The reason why I dare to buy these three boats is because there are a group of dealers who will not be cheated.

"It's really suitable!" Liu Hai thought about it carefully and found that these three warships are just right because everyone has different positioning. We are targeting regional defense, while the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets is still targeting the global navy.

Therefore, the warships that the sun never sets on the Empire, which feels backward, are sufficient in our opinion.

And we don’t have one ourselves, so it’s good to be able to buy one. Although it was designed 25 years ago, it was only put into service in 61. This beautiful lady is [-]% new.

Moreover, this kind of ship is so durable that it will basically be scrapped rather than damaged.

"But the missile system was dismantled." Sun Aiguo sighed again.

When Liu Hai heard this, he didn't think anything. It's unlikely that the original product will be sold to you. There are too many things involved.Not only is Big Brother North America, the Bear Country, and Great Britain itself, there will be a lot of people looking for trouble if we don't dismantle them. At the same time, it will also give the North American upstarts a step up, otherwise this guy might cause trouble for us.

"But it's not bad, no, let's develop it slowly, it's better than nothing." Liu Hai said this, but he had a plan in his heart, that is, the helicopter should be taken out as soon as possible.

Then I found out that I was originally planning to board a 2000-ton ship, so I no longer needed this plan.

These three 20-ton warships are enough for us to use for 20 years. At least within [-] years, these three [-]-ton warships will still be considered a leader in our area.

Then make some changes, repairs, and finish the helicopter by yourself.

Of course, there are people who object. No matter how backward they are, they are still [-]-ton warships. Before Dai Ying could react, Big Brother North America began to tell them not to make trouble. You can also buy them from me. My ships are rich in tonnage. Five [-]% new, [-]% new, [-]% new are all fine.

And the price is very cheap, so some smart people got fooled...

However, no one said much about Daying's deal, because everyone is watching the excitement now, after all, the war in the south is fierce.

Xiong Guo didn't have any objections. After all, after the missile rack was dismantled, it was just a ship equipped with cannons.

And Xiong Guo is busy supporting his little brother to fight against the other party.

A twin-engine passenger aircraft was undergoing ground tests, and a group of leaders came here to experience it, even if it was taxiing on the ground.

Liu Hai also looked at the plane, and there was no way he could fly such a plane.

"Forget it, there's no excitement in driving a propeller plane. I'll wait until I get a supersonic plane before flying again." Liu Hai could only comfort himself.

It is now early November 66, and it seems that this year will soon be over.

Liu Hai is going to design a gadget here, which is to use photovoltaic power generation or wind power generation to build some radio transmitting equipment on the southern island to locate aircraft.

Monocrystalline silicon was successfully used in laboratories in the United States more than ten years ago. In the 70s, when the oil crisis broke out, photovoltaic power generation ushered in great development.

Although the cost of establishing this kind of solar-powered radio signal base station on the island is higher, it is very beneficial to our flights.

Of course, you can also occupy a seat.

At the end of November 66, the twin-engine civil aviation aircraft received approval from the ministry and began formal production.

The production of passenger aircraft is much more complicated than the production of cargo aircraft. The various circuits and systems involved require other supporting factories.

Bangs is currently undergoing trial production, mainly to prepare for the subsequent mass production process.

The bangs can't be sold until mass production begins. It's not that the bangs want to be handed over to others, but that no one dares to take charge of this matter.

After all, the people in the motorcycle factory have never been exposed to airplanes, let alone civil aviation airplanes.

Even the technicians who produce cargo aircraft feel numb when they see the various systems involved in civil aviation aircraft.

I originally thought that the production of cargo aircraft was troublesome enough, but I didn't expect that the production of passenger aircraft would be even more troublesome.

I spend more than half of every day in the passenger aircraft production workshop.

The motorcycle factory became famous across the country again. It was the first short- and medium-range passenger aircraft designed and manufactured by my country.

Various departments communicated their praise internally because there were too many mothers-in-law in the motorcycle factory.

Now, except for the department engaged in atomic energy, all other departments are reporting and commending the motorcycle factory internally.

Newspapers and radio stations even made several special reports in succession.

Liu Hai doesn't read newspapers, and he doesn't own a radio. It's not that he can't afford a radio, but Liu Hai doesn't have time to listen to the radio. If he has time to listen to the radio, he might as well go to the aircraft carrier space and read some reference books.

Even when Liu Hai returned to his hometown, people in his hometown knew that the factory where Liu Hai worked made airplanes.

There was no way to hide this. After all, the plane was so big that it flew around the motorcycle factory all day long during the test flight.

However, this aircraft did not attract much attention internationally because the hardware facilities of this aircraft were too backward and were from more than 20 years ago. Even if some people wanted to find an excuse, they could not find one.

There were just a few little Karamies making noises on the side, saying that this patrol plane scared the fishermen of their country so much that they jumped into the sea, lost their fishing boats, and got cold and sick again.

It also interferes with the normal operations of their fishermen, and they don’t rest on Sundays and come for a walk every day.

However, there was no repercussions on this matter, and several big countries did not take a serious look at it.

Because this kind of patrol aircraft is simply rubbish in the eyes of big countries. It flies slowly and has insufficient firepower.

The little Karamies feel very uncomfortable because the big countries think there is no danger, but for themselves, it is a huge danger.

The fishermen in Little Kalami were frightened, but there was nothing they could do because they were flying in the sky.

"I heard good news today!" At the end of November, Sun Aiguo walked into the office in the aircraft workshop with a smile on his face.

Liu Hai was working in the office. When he heard what Sun Aiguo said, he asked curiously: "Have you started paying benefits?"

"No, last time I said that some of our neighbors went to Big Brother North America to buy boats at a low price. At that time, I said I didn't expect it to be so cheap."

"It turned out that the equipment on the ship was simply not enough to support the voyage, and many parts needed maintenance. Big Brother North America did the math and gave our neighbors a very scary quote."

"We neighbors are definitely not willing to do it, but if we don't pay, we can't drive at all. Our neighbors said we don't want it, and they don't want it. But now we have to pay money every day when we park in the port."

"Our neighbors directly told us to demolish it, and Big Brother North America asked us to pay for the demolition."

"This matter is making a big fuss outside. These guys now have to pay a lot of money for modifications. I guess they may have to pay more later." Sun Aiguo also laughed when he said this.

Liu Hai was not surprised. The last time he heard the news, he knew that someone was going to suffer. Do you dare to get the low-priced things from capitalists?
"Who makes them like to take advantage? If we didn't have a deep interest relationship with the dealers, it wouldn't be so smooth."

"It is said that the man across the sea was so angry that he became ill. After all, they are three [-]-ton warships."

"It's useless to be angry. We don't do business with his backers."

"A lot of the equipment above has been dismantled. It is said that it has been driven back from there. It can be driven back to China before the Chinese New Year. The main reason is that our people have to participate in various trainings on the way. This is a lot of extra money. "Sun Aiguo said again.

　Three changes completed.
