At this point, Zhang Lan shrugged her shoulders, "Although this is hard to hear, if you still want to plan for your days after retirement, and for the future of your wife and children, then these four months to half a year are basically your last golden time, General." ”

Zhang Lan bit the word "general" very hard, and the meaning is of course obvious: Now you are still the commander of the Russian Far East Pacific Fleet, General Sironov, but after more than a year, you may not be a general, take advantage of the last opportunity now, you are still in this position, everything else is fake, in order to enjoy your old age in peace, for the sake of your wife and children, it is better to quickly find a way to make money.

"Well, I'll admit I was convinced by you," Sironov finally hung his head helplessly, "that Krivak-class missile frigate." type, I can sell it to you, it's still scrap iron, but the price will be a little higher. But, "The place you said was enough to keep your family safe," Sironov looked skeptical, "is there really such a place?" Are you sure? ”

"There is indeed such a place," said Alice, "even if no one else can help you, we at Alice Group can help you." Provided, of course, that the general has done something that is enough for us to do our best to help you. ”

Zhang Lan really wanted to give Sironov a promise, but he couldn't make any promises without a positive answer from the government. If this can be done in the end, since he has promised Sironov, then the only thing he can do is probably to rely on Alice's connections to settle him in some remote place in the United States, or send him directly to Africa, where Sironov can spend the rest of his life.

However, Zhang Lan estimates that the second possibility is more likely, such as Sironov, a senior commander of the Russian Navy, the United States cannot do without his information, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to set up a household registration for Sironov's family.

Sironov nodded, over the years, although he still doesn't know how strong the Alice Group is, Sironov still has some understanding of the capabilities of the Alice Group, just look at the arms that the Alice Group buys from himself and several other military regions every year to know how powerful the unknown side of the Alice Group is.

"Plus, this full-fledged Krivac-class missile frigate |||The price of the type should be the same as those frigates sold to us," looked at Sironov and was about to open his mouth, Zhang Lan didn't give him a chance to speak, "General, although money is very important, you don't just think about money, if you have a life to spend money, money will be meaningful; If you have a life to take money, but you don't have a life to spend money, then isn't the money you worked so hard to get tantamount to giving it to others in vain? We promise you a place that will keep your family safe, and it's not something you can do with just a few dollars. Think about it, if even Russia doesn't dare to act rashly, how much effort will it take to get it done? ”

"Okay," Sironov pondered for a while after hearing Zhang Lan say this, and finally nodded, "This matter will be done according to what you said." That is, the things he sells are not his own things, and this guy is so happy, this is probably the so-called "cub selling Ye Tian is not distressed"?

"Then please trouble the general to hurry up and take this Krivac-class missile frigate |||and it carries ground trucks -- anti-submarine helicopters to send it for maintenance. Zhang Lan smiled and nodded. When the time comes, we can drive these warships away together. Don't let us drive away on a broken ship that doesn't even have its engines working. ”

"There is no problem in selling this warship to you intact. There is no problem in selling you the carrier-based anti-submarine helicopter on the ground above. There are also no problems with sending the warship for maintenance and necessary repairs. I know you're not short of money. Sironov finally had a sly smile on his face. But what about the missiles on the ground? You're going to have to pay for all of this, right? You're going to get a ground gun full of bullets. Or plan to have one that is also in good condition. But a ground-to-air gun without bullets? To know. As is customary. Bullets are purchased separately. ”

"Double." Zhang Lan raised a finger. "With all the weapons and ammunition. Including various types of ground missiles, torpedoes, anti-submarine depth shells, naval artillery ground shells and so on. Fill the bullet ground magazine. Doubled. Doubled the ground. It's your land. ”

"You land for this price. It's not even enough to buy a torpedo! Sironov smiled wryly. The price of a bullet is not enough. Do you want me to fill your magazine? ”

"But here's the problem. You don't have to pay for these things, do you? "Zhang Lan is very reasonable." What's more, I have also taken the pressure off your ammunition depot management by doing so. Otherwise, it's just about managing and maintaining these dangerous things. How much more will you spend? ”

"Okay. Double it and double it. All weapons and ammunition on the ship

If it is complete, the card - carrying the anti-submarine helicopter will still give you 10,000 US dollars according to the previous price; If you calculate it in this way, the total cost of adding a truck-borne anti-submarine helicopter is $3 million. According to our original calculation, the $1.00 million for scrap iron will be given to the fleet, the $10,000 price for the helicopter will be given to the fleet, the helicopter will give us $10,000 for benefits, $100,000 for weapons, $500,000 for the upper and lower points, and $3.5 million for me and Frodov, a total of $8 million, this number is correct, right? Speaking of this, Sironov smiled bitterly, "Damn, I'm very depressed." Why is my train of thought always being led by you? ”

"That's right," until this time, Zhang Lan finally laughed happily, "8 million US dollars, deal." But to make it clear, the $8 million will be handed over to the general when this absolutely complete frigate and the Ka-borne anti-submarine helicopter have been inspected by us and confirmed that there are no problems, and they are about to leave the port with the eight frigates. How, are there any questions about this proposal? ”

That's it, it seems to be a discussion, but listening to this kid's tone, there is no meaning of discussion at all.

"I'd love to say there's a problem, do you use it again? Anyway, it's not the first time we've dealt with each other, so I can't trust you? As he spoke, Sironov let out a long sigh and stared out the window with his eyes dazed, not knowing what he was looking at. ,

Zhang Lan followed Sironov's gaze, damn it, the window was empty, there was nothing but the blue sky and the bare branches that occasionally swayed through the window. Scratching his head a little depressedly: Could it be that this old guy is reminiscing about the glory of the once invincible Soviet Far East Pacific Fleet? Then he lamented that the Soviet-Arab Far East Pacific Fleet, which was so powerful in the past, has today been reduced to the point where he has to sell his belongings to support his fleet commander? Well, it's possible that people love to miss their glorious past when they get older.

No matter what the old man Sironov is recalling, Zhang Lan doesn't care so much, at least he has already done the minimum things he promised to the military, and with such a missile frigate and carrier-based anti-submarine helicopter, at least in the next 10 years, China will be able to rapidly close the distance between China and the world's advanced level in terms of shipboard weapons and shipboard electronic equipment -- and if it reaches the world's advanced level, it is not something that can be done in one or two days. As long as he can quickly close the distance with the advanced level of the world's navy, Zhang Lan feels very satisfied.

As for how far he can do it in the future, it depends on what kind of results Jill can achieve on this trip back to China: want to work his own? Let's show some sincerity first!

On the question of sincerity, it has now begun.

Looking at the information in front of him, facing a large group of old men in front of him, Jill who was alone didn't feel anything at all, although there were already a few guys who looked at Jill after watching it many times, and now even if he was without makeup, he still felt amazing and secretly swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva: Why didn't Jill apply fat powder, but now it feels like this girl has become a hibiscus out of the water?

"This is what you call sincerity?" Jill waved the information in his hand, and his beautiful little face exuded a coldness that was not different from her peerless beauty, without any trace of timidity, as if the group of people he was facing was not composed of a huge lineup composed of a Chinese party, government and military leader, a premier of the State Council, and a vice chairman of the Military Commission and minister of defense, but was talking to passer-by A, "No matter how many years you can repay the money you borrowed, you must follow the current interest rate of one-year loans?" If you can pay it back in a year, that's fine. But are you sure you'll be able to pay it back for a year? Of course ......"

As he was talking, Jill's mobile phone rang, and he held it up and gently signaled to the few people present, "Excuse me, take a call." ”

Jill answered the phone here easily, listening to Jill there "um", "okay", "I know", as the time of the call passed, the corners of Jill's mouth began to curl slightly.

Looking at the corners of Jill's slightly upturned mouth, the hearts of those who had read the materials that had studied the habits of every major member of the Alice Group began to be unsettled: the corners of Jill's mouth would only turn up when the situation was absolutely favorable to him, so what kind of news was this? Can you make Jill feel like he's in an absolutely advantageous position?

"Tell you a piece of good news that I don't know if it should be considered good news," he said and gestured to Chi Guanglin, who was sitting opposite, with a slight bow, "Well, I think it should be good news at least for General Chi." ”
