"But although the Guardian is much better than Riemanrus in terms of performance alone, its price is at least five times that of Riemanrus, right?" Liu Yan said with some doubts, "But three Riemann Ruth tanks must be able to deal with one Guardian, right?" ”

"In fact, the price difference is seven times higher." Lin Hai said, "But you have to know that the human resources situation in Europe, that place has always talked about quality, better quantity. Their manpower is much higher than elsewhere, with three crew members for one Guardian and nine for three Riemannus. So you say, who will spend more on maintaining three tanks and maintaining one, including the crew? Let me remind you that the Guardian has applied a lot of maintenance techniques learned from our Riemanrus tank, so the maintenance cost of the Guardian is not much more than that of the Riemanus. ”

"If that's the case, it's really hesitant." Liu Yan rubbed his chin and thought for a while, and suddenly, he asked, "What do the people of country E say?" As far as I know, although country E is constantly strengthening and recovering its military strength, it is also slow to recover its military strength due to economic problems. Even the army is only a few hundred thousand? Aren't they interested in our stuff? In the past, I read the report that some of the arms dealers of country E that we have contacts with have a background in the government of country E. ”

"As you said, economic issues." Speaking of this, Lin Hai could only spread his hands, "They are interested, but they don't have that much money." At present, the main goal of the military of country E is to restore the combat effectiveness of the air force first, followed by the navy, and the army, like our country, is put last. Everyone is affected by the lack of funds. What's more, the people of country E actually did not lack weapons and equipment, when the former SL disintegrated. They inherited a lot of things, but most of them were mothballed just to save military spending, not to mention that the people of country E still have T-14 ......"

After finding a flower stand and blowing the ash on it at will, Liu Yan sat down: "If that's the case." So we can only make more advanced equipment to compete with the people of country M? I'm afraid this will invisibly increase our financial pressure, right? ”

"Isn't that an arms race?" Lin Hai shook his head and said disagreeingly, "We now have a lot of Riemann Ruth in our hands, the number is about 1,500 vehicles, if we can sell them all, it will be a full profit of 1.5 billion M gold, and we can make a lot of money." In addition, if we want to develop a new tank, although it is not a problem for us, I don't think it is necessary. We now have nothing but the Riemann Ruth tank. There is also a medium tank, the Hammer, but in terms of performance, it is a tank second only to Riemannus, and even its electronic systems are better than Riemanrus, and we only need to change its blueprints slightly, increase its tonnage, and increase its armor and firepower, turning it into a weapon that completely surpasses the Riemannus. But my purpose in coming to you is to find a way to sell the stuff we've hoarded a lot. Instead of letting them slowly rust in the warehouse. ”

"Europe can't do it, can't we sell it to Africa? Or South America can do the same. Liu Yan thought about it. "And that part of the Middle East, haven't we been dumping weapons there?" ”

"Of course we have." Lin Hai said helplessly, "South America is probably peaceful and the economic situation is also very average, so their demand for heavy weapons and equipment is not high, they prefer light weapons." Moreover, Brazil and Argentina, two large South American countries, have the ability to develop their own heavy equipment, so they are not very energetic in importing weapons. In the Middle East, the rich tyrants are waiting for the Guardian to officially enter service. Ready to pay a fortune for that thing, they don't like our bargains; And if you don't have much money, you can't buy much. Like those war-torn countries, they do not even contribute enough funds to rebuild their countries, and they are also powerless to rebuild their armies. We've already sold 800 cars in the Middle East, and we can't go any further. As for Africa, although there is a great demand for weapons and equipment, and it is quite large, but you know, those warlords, some have money, some have no money, and that's it, the key point is, although we have simplified the use of equipment as much as possible, but do you think a group of illiterate people, how capable can they learn to use our weapons? We sell them weapons, and we have to teach them to read. And those warlords, they still belong to the Changing King Banner at the head of the city, and if you cooperate with this today, maybe this warlord will be killed by your subordinates tomorrow. So sales there have not been very stable, and if you want Africa to eat our goods, it will take too much time. ”

"Can't we recycle those obsolete equipment?" Liu Yan asked, "With the capacity of the refinery, it should be possible to recycle the old equipment and re-refine it into materials for other needs, right?" ”

"That's the last situation that you really can't use it, you have to think about the cost." Lin Hai waved his arm vigorously and emphasized his words, "The Riemann Ruth tank is 55 tons, and we need to use 110 tons of refined steel to make one, which is 11 metal resources, and the current 110 tons of refined steel is calculated at about 500M yuan per ton, which is about 55,000M yuan, and the cost of each Riemann Ruth is so much for us." However, recovering a Riemann Ruth and refining it into metal ingots and metal resources can only recover 55 tons of metal ingots or 5.5 metal resource points, and we will directly lose half of our resources. ”

"Well, I understand that direct recycling is not cost-effective for us who are poor, so you are unwilling to pick the door." Liu Yan nodded, indicating that he had understood, "Then I have an idea, although it will take some time, but at least it will come faster than waiting for other people's needs." ”

"What's the idea?" Hearing that Liu Yan had a way, Lin Hai was also a little excited.

"It's easy." Liu Yan shook his hand and snapped his fingers, "As I said before, we can provoke a war by ourselves." Learn from the people of country M, stir up trouble everywhere, and then you can sell arms everywhere. It may not be convenient for us to start in other places, but Africa, the Middle East, there shouldn't be much of a problem in these places, right? Tribe-to-tribe, race to race, and even between countries, as long as there is a gap between them, there is a chance for us to start. ”

"Actually, we're doing this right now, but the problem is that we don't do a good job in this area because it takes too much of our energy to deal with the Holy Brotherhood and the Sijing people. Moreover, the clone officers who were sent to carry out this kind of order before were also incapacitated, they could not complete this task well, at most they were exporting mercenaries, and they could barely do a little thing, and if they wanted to stir up the situation alone, it was impossible. At present, Chen Xi is the only one in my hands who can complete this kind of task, and it is precisely because of his ability that he is too strong, so he has too many tasks on him, and the reality is simply impossible for him to have the time to complete this kind of task that takes a long time. ”

"Is it still a manpower problem?" Speaking of this, Liu Yan pondered again.

After a few minutes, he hesitated and said, "Can we do this?" The equipment is divided into high-end and low-end levels, and the low-end ones are compared to the Riemann Ruth tank and the imitation fighter, and anyone can buy it. And at the high-end level, we use new products such as hammer modifications, which are exclusively for those who want the best buyers. ”

"This method ......" Lin Hai hesitated, "In terms of production and design, it is not a problem, but what about the demand side?" The Riemann Ruth tank is after many fierce battles, and has a reputation for excellent performance, but the new equipment is ...... To be honest, the reputation of the dark fire company has not yet reached the point where it can be trusted by users when it hears its name, and new products will inevitably need to go through the experience of war before they can be accepted by people. ”

"War?" Liu Yan laughed, "Is our world really lacking?" If we don't talk about our own battles, let's just say that Africa, which we are most optimistic about, is there a day when there is no fighting? And in the Middle East, between sects and sects, between tribes, is there peace? We can give users who buy our weapons a chance to try out new equipment, just like in those online games, where advanced equipment can be tried for free for a period of time, and then if you want to use it again, you have to pay for it.
