872, Second-hand tank resale(1/2)
Competition promotes development.
The fiercer the competition, the faster the development.
Because of the existence of Leso and the feeling of competition, the military technology of the United States has developed rapidly, obviously much faster than in previous lives.
You must know that the Zumwal-class destroyer was established as a project in 1992 and was not successfully developed until around 2010.
Of course, it is also possible that the United States will have to expose more advanced weapons in advance.
After all, Leso continues to introduce advanced weapons, not only taking away most of the global arms market, but also bringing the weapons and equipment of countries such as the Netherlands to the top level in the world.
Therefore, if the United States wants to maintain its intimidating power as the world's most powerful country, it must use some trump cards.
But competition is two-way.
Because the United States suddenly took out the Zumwal-class destroyer and equipped it with an electromagnetic gun.
Xia Yang will naturally follow suit and launch the second-generation Iron Dome battleship that is also equipped with electromagnetic guns as soon as possible.
Otherwise, who would he sell the weapons he spent so much money to develop?
After all, arms are similar to mobile phones, and the soup is the most delicious.
For example, in the previous life, when the Apple mobile phone was just launched, it relied on a touch screen to control it, and how much money was made.
The same goes for arms.
While the electromagnetic gun gimmick is still fresh, launch it quickly and get a lot of votes.
Otherwise, it won’t be worth waiting for other countries to develop electromagnetic guns.
This is not Xia Yang's unfounded worry.
He received reliable information.
Not only the United States is about to equip Zumwal-class destroyers equipped with electromagnetic guns.
Britain is also preparing to equip its Type 45 all-electric destroyer with electromagnetic guns, and is even preparing to build an all-electric aircraft carrier.
Even after World War II, England seems to have become unknown and is about to become a little transparent.
But after all, it is the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, so Britain's scientific and technological strength is not weaker than that of the United States.
It occupies a place in cutting-edge technology fields such as aerospace engines, computers, artificial intelligence, etc.
It even surpasses the United States in some aspects.
For example, the second-generation electromagnetic gun battleships of the United States in the previous life still had electromagnetic guns provided by England, and some missile guidance cores were purchased from England.
Therefore, knowing that these two countries will soon equip electromagnetic gun destroyers, Xia Yang, in addition to launching the second-generation Iron Dome battleship as soon as possible, also has to admit that because he created Leso, it intensified technological competition and armament upgrades. Now Blue Star
The development of science and technology is at least ten years faster than in previous generations.
Because Britain’s Type 45 all-electric destroyer, also known as the Brave-class destroyer, also appeared around 2010 in its previous life.
Like the American destroyer Zumwal, it was also born ten years in advance.
However, military technology is developing rapidly.
Xia Yang actually thinks it's a good thing, at least let those local bullies be honest and stop stirring up trouble all day long.
You must know that these countries are not idle for a day. For example, Ross has just withdrawn from Afghanistan a few days ago and is eyeing Ukolan. The war agents it supports, the Kerry Free Mercenary Group and the Cossack Mercenary Group, still occupy Ukolan.
Kerch peninsula in blue.
The local bullies in the Middle East are also not idle.
Otherwise, the piece of cloth on the head is not the richest man, or it is not a bomb, where did these rumors come from.
When people in European and American countries see someone holding a bag with a piece of cloth on their head, they become nervous and call the police.
You can imagine how much these local bullies can do.
In addition, military technology is developing rapidly, which is also a good thing for Leso.
At least it proves that Leso's military industrial strength has always been on the same line as the world's top military industrial powers such as the United States and England.
This kind of effortless display of strength has an immediate effect.
Letso has actually developed the legendary electromagnetic gun battleship.
How could Li Xianchang have the slightest doubt about Letso's strength?
As a result, the next arms purchase went smoothly.
Xia Yang sent someone to carefully prepare a purchase list for Xinjia Island.
Li Xianchang accepted it completely without making any changes.
Xinga Island is not big, so Xia Yang cannot mess around just to make money.
Therefore, the weapons and equipment configured for Xinjia Island were similar to what he had expected.
On land, six sets of Sentinel air defense systems are enough, one hundred second-generation Lurker tanks, and twenty Smasher self-propelled artillery.
Because Xinjia Island is located in the tropics and the land is humid, the Smasher self-propelled artillery equipped for it is not a tank track type, but an eight-wheel heavy truck type. This way it is much lighter and will not get stuck in the mud.
As for the Air Force, there are twenty Dragonfly armed helicopters, Predator light fighters and Fierce Bird heavy fighters, a total of one hundred. The number is more than Xia Yang expected, because Xinga Island purchased a Julang nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, so there are
Some fighters are carrier-based versions.
In addition, there are also Goliath Eyeless Aircraft, Spellcaster Early Warning Aircraft, and a three-piece set of Black Bat series transport aircraft, bombers, and aerial tankers, all of which are equipped for New Island.
In terms of the navy, in addition to a Julang nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, Xinga Island has also purchased two Sea Ghost nuclear submarines.
Although the Sea Ghost is a nuclear submarine, it does not carry nuclear weapons. The missiles it carries are conventional air-to-air and anti-ship missiles, so it can be sold to various countries without any problems.
In addition, Xinga Island will naturally not let go of the second-generation Iron Dome battleship equipped with electromagnetic guns. Although each ship costs up to 2 billion U.S. dollars, Li Xianchang did not blink an eye and directly ordered two ships.
Xinga Island made a really big purchase this time. In the end, the various weapons, including the missiles, torpedoes and other ammunition, totaled more than 40 billion US dollars.
Of course, this amount of money is nothing to Xinga Island, it is just a year's military expenses.
They both have yellow skin and black eyes. Li Xianchang obviously wanted to maintain a long-term friendly relationship with Xia Yang, a military industrial giant with yellow skin and black eyes, so he didn't care about anything at all.
To reciprocate the favor, Xia Yang naturally cannot be stingy and provides the maximum discount in terms of after-sales service.
So on both sides, you gave in and I took back, so the negotiation went smoothly.
A large order worth US$40 billion was signed in less than half a month.
Li Xianchang readily paid the deposit, and Xia Yang promised to pay it in full within three years.
"Mr. Xia, I have heard from many businessmen in Singapore that doing business with Mr. Spoxia is a pleasure. I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it. I also understand it deeply and look forward to our next cooperation."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Handing the signed contract to his assistant, Li Xianchang held Xia Yang's hand firmly and sighed.
Having been psychologically affected by Lawson's expression before, Xia Yang calmly took out his hand and said, "You said you have dark skin and dark eyes, but I still dare to take out the killing knife."
Hearing Xia Yang's joke, everyone present laughed.
Quan Zhixi laughed so hard that her shoulders twitched.
Lawson, who was present as a witness, did not dislike Xia Ren's long-winded talk about business this time. He also smiled, happier than anyone else, showing his big white teeth.
Because of the US$40 billion order, Sper will receive a lot of tax money, which is a blessing.
Of course, taxes are one aspect, but the key point is how much blood will be poured into Sper Industries if the $40 billion in military industry orders is spread.
The atmosphere is harmonious.
Chatted a few more words.
Xia Yang personally put Li Xianchang into the elevator, and then returned to the office with Lawson.
"You Xia people are so long-winded sometimes when talking about business, talking about a lot of things, which makes people anxious. However, it is quite easy to wait until the contract is signed and the money is paid. The order of 40 billion US dollars was easily obtained. That
Li Xianchang was very happy to give me money."
As soon as he sat on the sofa, Lawson couldn't wait to complain. He thought he had been holding it in for a few days and couldn't stand Li Xianchang's enthusiasm for Xia Yang.
Xia Yang shook his head and laughed, and sat down on the sofa opposite Lawson, "You are wrong about this. The reason why this business was concluded so quickly is that there is some kinship, but not much. The reason why Li Xianchang is so cheerful is not only because he wants to be with
In addition to building a good relationship, there should be other places where I can be used. If I am not wrong, he will ask me for help with something else."
Xia Yang guessed.
Companionship will not allow people like Li Xianchang to readily hand over a US$40 billion deal and pay a 30% deposit of US$12 billion.
So Xia Yang guessed that Li Xianchang would still want something from him, which meant that the relationship between the two parties had just begun.
Lawson scratched his hair. It was so complicated, so brain-burning. It seemed like they Europeans were all straightforward.
Quan Zhixi sat on the edge and smiled. She knew a little about Xia Ren’s habits. After all, many of the foundries under Laisuo and Li Ao were run by Xia Ren’s boss. As Xia Yang’s secretary, she
I often deal with those Xia bosses, and I usually receive a lot of small gifts.
"You Xia people like to work so hard when doing things, unlike us, where one is one and two is two."
Lawson looked very proud, and then his face straightened, "In addition to congratulating you on winning the big order this time, I also have something to discuss with you. Originally, it was not my turn to come forward, but the council
You must let me come over there."
It's okay that Lawson didn't say this. As soon as he said this, Xia Yang immediately became wary.
