Your appetite seems to be a little too big. There was a silence for a while, and Cirono spoke.

"It's not too big, you have a big appetite to make more money. Didn't our country just sign a purchase agreement with you last year to purchase two modern-class missile destroyers, I have to admit that your modern-class missile destroyer is indeed a good thing to use against aircraft carriers, but for such a large sea area as China, two modern-class missile destroyers are really not enough," Zhang Lan said lightly, "It's just that the Kremlin is probably poor and crazy, and I also see that China really needs these two warships urgently. It's just that in my opinion, such a thing, once is enough. In that case, we naturally have to think of other ways to do so. ”

Hearing Zhang Lan's words, Sironov and Ferodov were silent for a while: How could they not know about this matter? At the beginning of last year, the Chinese and Russian governments signed an agreement of 2 gold for each "Hyundai"-class missile destroyer, but in order to facilitate this transaction, the Chinese government has already spent an additional 3 gold for each "Hyundai"-class missile destroyer, which adds up to 1C US dollars.

According to Kremlin tradition, as long as the two "modern" class destroyers are not handed over to the Chinese government for a day, then the Kremlin's blackmail against the Chinese government is not over. Sironov and Ferodov estimated that according to the Kremlin's style of conduct, if China does not pay an extra 2 gold for each "modern" class missile destroyer, the first side of the two missile destroyers will not want to get their hands on it.

When they heard the news, Sironov and Ferodov joked with each other: "The Chinese government is also stupid, why did it go to the Vampires in the Kremlin instead of us?" If you look for us, you don't need 4 gold two, just give us that fraction, gold, and we will sell these two modern-class missile destroyers to you~ You don't have to wait so long, repair it a little, and you can drive the warship away directly in two months at most. ”

Facts also confirmed the conjecture of Sironov and Ferodov: in mid-2000, when the first party finally got its hands on the two "modern" class missile destroyers with the numbers 136 and 137 respectively, plus the Ka-borne anti-submarine helicopter (the basic version of the export-type ground Ka-L carrier-based anti-submarine helicopter, the performance is even worse than the basic Ka-L type used by Russia), the Chinese government spent a total of 1 gold for these two missile destroyers!

Slaughtering people is the glorious tradition of the Russian government, and at this point, Russian President Putin has taken this point to the extreme, and raised the slaughter to the level of an art: what impressed Zhang Lan the most was that in 2004, the Russian government reached an agreement with the Indian Navy, and India paid Russia 9 yuan for the modification of the aircraft carrier, and Russia donated the 27-year-old "Marshal Gorshko" aircraft carrier with a displacement of about 10,000 tons to the Indian Navy, and the delivery time was 2008. This cost of modification should be said to be more reasonable for an aircraft carrier.

At that time, the Indian Navy was overjoyed, and the whole country thought that this was a great gift from Russia to its land, and a huge, hot, steaming, and still oily super pie fell from the sky! However, the good times did not last long, and three years later, in 2007, the Russian government proposed that India should pay an additional $8.5 billion in retrofit fees due to rising material costs. Before Zhang Lan came back in the summer of 2008, he had heard that Russia was planning to raise the price of the aircraft carrier again, but he didn't know if the price increase was successful in the end.

If Zhang Lan can succeed, it will save the Chinese government a lot of money, you know, in the future, China will buy two more modern-class destroyers, that is, the 138 "Taizhou" and 139 "Kaifeng" respectively, these two ships cost more land than the 136 "Hangzhou" and 137 "Fuzhou" - probably the old Maozi, who was already crazy poor and hungry, finally caught such a big fat sheep as the Chinese government, and knew that China was facing a severe sea navigation. The Chinese Navy urgently needs to strengthen its ocean-going combat capabilities, and as long as it is not slaughtered too ruthlessly, the Chinese government will admit it.

"You make me think about it." Sironov took a heavy drag on his cigarette, and Ferodov sat there like a bodhisattva, saying nothing, and the atmosphere in the room was very dull.

After the old half a day. Sironov finally asked. "Say it. Which do you want? How many ships? ”

Zhang Lan found. It's just a little bit of effort. Sironov's voice turned out to be a little hoarse.

"Two modern class ships. Two Dreadnought-class. Zhang Lan raised four fingers. The same as the Krivac-class missile frigates. It is necessary to fill the warship with all the ground missiles, torpedoes, and even naval guns and other weapons and ammunition. ”

"You buy anti-submarine helicopters. It's also for the use of these four warships, right? "Sironov did not say to sell

There is a saying that it is not for sale. That's what he asked.

"Of course." Zhang Lan nodded. It's a fact. That's it. There is nothing good to deny anymore. "Why are we buying that thing ourselves?"

"You know, my main concern right now is not how much these things can be sold for." Sironov said.

Hearing Sironov's words, Ferodov glanced at Sironov in surprise: What happened to his old leader this time? Sironov, who has always talked about money, unexpectedly did not put money first this time.

"Of course I know, remember the question we talked about the old lion king?" Zhang Lan nodded and said, "Now there is a chance for the old lion king to live the rest of his life safely and be able to protect his wife and children."

Although the old lion king will lose his territory, at least he doesn't have to worry about life and safety. Compared to the old lion kings who are either dead or struggling like a leper dog, this may be the best ending. ”

"The Lion King's problem? What is the problem of the Lion King? Confused, Ferodov finally couldn't help but ask, "Why do I listen to the two of you talking a little like you're playing dumb riddles?" ”

"It's the question of the replacement of the old and new lion kings in human society, similar to the lion pack on the African savannah," Zhang Lan said. ”

Although he did not answer, Ferodov looked at Sironov, apparently hoping that his old leader would give him an answer: what the hell is going on?

"That's it." After Sironov told Zhang Lan and himself about the question of the lion king that day, he sighed, and when he said this, Sironov asked Ferodov rhetorically, "What about you?" How do you see it? ”,

"Almost," Ferodov smiled bitterly after listening to Sironov's words, "We're almost done tossing, and those behind the Kremlin won't tolerate us for long." Now it is the group headed by Yeltsin who is making a fuss at the top, and those who are behind need to deal with Yeltsin's group with all their might, and they do not have the time and energy to deal with us for the time being. When Yeltsin's gang has no chance, and in your words it is called the new lion king, comes to power, it is basically time for them to start cleaning up our disobedient heads of major military districts. At that time, it is almost time to start the new accounts and the old accounts together. Speaking of this, Ferodov was also a little curious, and asked Zhang Lan, "What is the opportunity you said to let the old lion king spend his old age in peace?" ”

"Of course there is an opportunity, and there is more than one," Zhang Lan is not in a hurry to reveal his details: this is the hole card in his hand, and it must be released at the most appropriate time, and it must not be revealed too early! "It mainly depends on what you do, whether it is worth us to do so much for you, and which step we are worth doing for you."

"What's the best way to do it for us?" Hearing this, Sironov, who was obviously most concerned about this issue, asked with some eagerness, "What step can we do at the bottom?" ”

"Up to you, you can enjoy all the benefits that a retired general would enjoy, and maybe even more; Keeping your family and property safe is the most basic, and it is a commitment provided by a country. You can rest assured of that. Zhang Lan said, "The lowest, the lowest can only be guaranteed by our Alice Group, which can ensure your personal safety and property safety." But whether the property you have accumulated over the years will have enough space to spend it, then we can't guarantee it. After all, you also know that the identities of the two of you, well, are too sensitive, and I think that the intelligence agencies of almost all countries in this world with a little bit of strength have detailed information about the two of you," he said, shaking his head, "It seems difficult to make you live like an ordinary rich man, if nothing else, just say that the current Russian Federal Security Service will also keep looking for you trouble." ”

"We have no interest in the lowest," Sironov asked, "and the highest you said was provided by your country, right?" ”

"Of course," Zhang Lan did not shy away from this point, "General, you should know that in our China, although it is relatively closed, there are advantages of being closed, isn't it?" At the very least, as long as it is said that the safety of a person is protected, as long as it is a commitment made at the highest level, then there will be absolutely no problem. ”

That's right, the two guys nodded, in this world, if the Chinese government wants to seriously protect a person, it is much more reliable than the US government promised to seriously protect a person.

"I wonder, what do we need to do to get the highest protection from your government?" Sironov asked in a deep voice, "To what extent can this protection be achieved?" How many benefits can we reap? ”

"And me." Ferodov asked eagerly.
