That's what Liz meant. I've been with you for a long time. will delay in other ways to make money. Cut to the chase. One to say. There are two to say two. We've got the kung fu to hang out with you here.

"You let me think about it." Ronov patted his head. "Eight Krivac-class missile frigates. This is not a small amount. Nor is it a small thing. Miss Alice. Yours allow me to think about it carefully. ”

"No problem." Ellie nodded. "But I'll talk about it first. All the offensive weapons such as missiles, torpedoes and anti-submarine rockets, depth bombs, etc., on these eight Krivac-class missile frigates, you can dismantle them all, but everything else. These include self-defense weapons such as infrared decoy bombs and jamming launchers on frigates; Radar, sonar, C3I, command and control, early warning system and other electronic systems of various types and purposes on the ship; The powertrain, everything, all the other stuff has to be given to me in one piece, no less. Out of those offensive weapons. on these eight Krivac-class missile frigates. Even a fixed screw on the radar display surface is indispensable. ”

"Oh my God." Hear Alice say this. And not only Sironov. This time even Frodov couldn't help it. "Miss Alice. What exactly are you going to do? ”

"What to do. We'll let you know when you've made your decision. Alice glanced at Ferodov. Not afraid to tell the two generals. After the purchase of these eight Kryvak-class missile frigates. We still have business for you. Of course. The purchase of these eight Kvak-class missile frigates, which have only dismantled offensive weapons, is a prerequisite. If this business can't be negotiated, there is no need for the following. ”

That's it. Alice's meaning couldn't be clearer: Want money? OK! Just do what I ask. However, you still have the opportunity to continue to make a lot of money; Don't want to make money. That's your own business, too!

The question is. This year. Who doesn't want to make money? Especially the commander and chief of staff and deputy commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Far East, who has undergone a drastic change in ideology and beliefs? From the original loyalty to the country and the motherland to the disintegration of the Soviet Union. The two were confused for several years before they finally came to the conclusion: this damn world. What faith, love, etc., are all *** fake. Only money is *** real.

This is the reason why Sironov and Ferodov provided by Singh to Zhang Lan and Alice and others decided to sell the only two aircraft carriers in their fleet: these two people. He is no longer the commander and fleet commander of the Soviet Far East Pacific Fleet. Turned into two money-to-money guys. The only thing that stands in the way of them getting the money. It's just to find out whether the money is worth the risk.

"After all, this issue is too much at stake. Miss Alice, let's think about it. Sironov stood up. Ferodolf followed suit, and we'll give you an answer tomorrow Miss Alice. ”

"No problem." The corners of Alice's mouth curled slightly. A graceful arc was drawn. The tone was as light as before. But there was an unmistakable confidence in his tone. "I'm sure the two generals will have good news for us. Right? "It's not so much a question. It's not so much for sure.

Sironov and Ferodov walked away with solemn faces. Zhang Lan, Xiao Chenxi, Alice and Jill were idle, and they had nothing to do in the entire Russian Far East Pacific Fleet Headquarters, and after they finished strolling, they went to the military port to hang out. Anyway, before that, Sironov had already left his secretary here. Serve as a guide for Zhang Lan and his party. Sironov gave them permission to look around the entire Vladivostok military port: these guys weren't from the Chinese or American military anyway. Even if I saw something that was more contrary. That's okay too.

Zhang Lan and the others walked around the military port, happily looking at the steel giants lying in the military port, which were already barge; Look at the submarines moored in the harbor. The silenced tile on the body of the boat is one less in the east and one less in the west, like the hair that fell off the body of a leper dog, Zhang Lan sighed in his heart: What a loser! It's too bad to put such a good thing here!

As for Singh's animal. Then he continued to "entertain: his three female soldiers of the Fleet Song and Dance Troupe stayed in the guest house of the commander of the military district. Only occasionally came the high-pitched screech of a woman from the window that was not closed and the unbearable squeak of the bed that could not stand such a violent toss. It seems that the movement inside is not small. The battle was fierce. Anyone who walked downstairs and heard the movement was a little worried: such a fierce battle. I wonder if this bed can hold up? What if the bed suddenly can't stand up to the fight at the height of the battle?

After Sironov and Ferodov returned, they discussed how long and how they discussed. Zhang Lan didn't know. However, at noon the next day, I saw these two guys with a pair of panda eyes and a pale and haggard face to the military region division

When they waited for their luxury suite. Zhang Lan estimated and touched. Maybe I didn't sleep all night last night - and it was. The two of them really started yesterday when they returned from the guest house of the military headquarters where Alice lived. The matter was discussed until dawn. before the final decision was made.

After the decision was made. The two didn't even have time to sleep. immediately rushed to the residence of Zhang Lan and Xiao Chenxi and the others. Ready to talk about it. And at this time. Zhang Lan slept energetically. Just finished washing.

"No problem." There was a deep exhaustion in Sironov's tone. "We decided. Eight Krivak-class missile frigates. All are 2 and 3. We can sell scrap iron to you at your request. But you must ensure that you do not sell these eight frigates to the military of any other country or to scientific research institutions with military relations. Only for your own use. "It's not about the beliefs of the two. It's just for the sake of its own people.

"Yes. There is no problem with that. Alice nodded. What about the conditions? ”

"Announced that the price of scrap iron will be increased by $1 million per ship. All the weapons, electronic equipment, power plants on it were completely dismantled. Actually, according to their request. Each frigate was sold for $5 million. One million of each of them was given to the fleet of 50, and we needed to make a dot up and down. The last 3.5 million goes to the two of us. Frodov said. prices. That is, you come to buy it. Except for you. No one else wants to get it. ”

Zhang Lan smiled. Say so. I'll just listen to it. As for how it ended up. What the hell do you think? Let's talk about it. ,-

The two of them can get $3.5 million for a warship, Sironov, and Frodov. Eight ships is 00,000. It's just this one business. Two people alone netted $1 million. Those guys who need to be dotted cost 000,000 dollars. And the Russian Far East Pacific Fleet, which sold the frigate, only got 00000 dollars. The difference. Gee. Zhang Lan shook her head: the difference. It's huge! No wonder they all say that arms is the most profitable industry alongside drugs. In fact, it is. Moreover, it appears that the volume of arms traded each year is much larger than the number of drugs traded.

"Yes." Alice, nodded. The price was about the same as I expected. "Deal."

"Now you can tell us. What do you want these eight frigates that are completely unarmed but have complete electronics, power plants, and guards? Finally Frodov, who couldn't hold back his kindness, asked.

And not only Fedorov. Even Sironov was curious about the question: their Alice group wanted eight such unarmed frigates. What exactly do you want to do?

"That's a question. It doesn't hurt to tell you. Xiao Chenxi said that it was to answer Ferodov's question, but he did not say anything about the frigate. Instead, it took the topic to something else. "Two days ago, we at Alice Group held a press conference. You should know about this, right? At the time of the press conference. One of your reporters from the Russian news agency Tasa Novosti was lucky enough to take a trailer from our company. ”

"Yes." Frodov nodded. Words can't hide the envy. "You Alice Group are really rich. I had a rough estimate. As for the announcements you made at the press conference. Plus follow-up investment. Don't think about taking out tens of billions of dollars. Especially the two fleets that you are going to set up. Is...... Tsk"

"Then we will tell you. What are we Alice Group going to do with these eight unarmed frigates? Xiao Chenxi said. I wonder how much the general knows about pirates and the repeated detention of fishing boats by those small countries in Southeast Asia? ”

"I know a little bit. These things are happening in Southeast Asia. Frodov shook his head helplessly. But in recent years the presence of our Far Eastern Pacific Fleet in Southeast Asia has almost no more. Just know these things. But what's going on there? We don't know very well. ”

"And what if we use these eight missile frigates that are just without weapons for escort?" Xiao Chenxi asked rhetorically. "What do you think?"

"IMHO." Ferodov shook his head. "Miss Zhang. Although your idea is good. But this is simply not possible. There are no warships without weapons. It's like a tiger without sharp teeth and claws. No matter how ferocious it is. There is also not much deterrence to speak of. ”

"Remember what we said yesterday if the deal is finalized. We have a new business for you, right? Xiao Chenxi smiled. People are as light as chrysanthemums. "Now your business is here.
