On April 27, after the situation in the Tianzhu area stabilized slightly, General Slim and Marquis Hope met with Jiangdong in Xiyuan, Peking, led by Thomas of the Rockefeller family.

Jiangdong and Slim are old friends, but they didn't get along well during the Gongbang Dynasty and even had some conflicts.

Marquis Hope has served as the governor of the Tianzhu region of the Empire where the sun never sets since 37 AD, and is an experienced politician.

China's Western Fleet had previously given Slim and Marquis Hope a warning, forcing them to give up the idea of ​​using force to suppress the Bombay sailors' uprising.

Both of them were filled with resentment towards the mighty Chinese army.

In the past few years of China's revival, Mao Xiong has lost the most territory, and the Sun Never Sets Empire has lost the most economic benefits.

The empire was full of hatred towards China and the new leader of Jiangdong, and some radical soldiers even clamored to launch an Opium War in a new era.

It's just that the Empire on which the sun never sets has long been declining, and its strength is not as strong as before.

If China and the United States had not continuously supported the Eastern Front battlefield, the former would have even sent a million-strong expeditionary force, which put the mustache under great pressure and had no choice but to withdraw its troops from the island of Great Britain. At this time, the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets was still in a state of disintegration.

Relying on their own strength and relying on the resources and manpower of the colonies, it would be impossible to achieve this in less than three to five years.

Many people look down on Jiangdong and the resurgent China, but they have to admit that it was the rejuvenation of China that allowed the Empire to avoid the fate of the sun never setting on the West Mountain.

General Slim and Marquis Hope came with an important mission. No matter how unhappy or angry they were, they had to put a smile on their faces.

Jiang Dong clearly knew the purpose of the two people coming to Peiping and waited for them to take the initiative to greet and shake hands.

The corner of General Slim's mouth twitched. He saw Jiang Dong's meaningful smile and said bravely:

"Commander-in-Chief, nice to see you!"

A few months ago, Koto and Slim met in the Manila area.

Jiang Dong had a diplomat's smile on his face.

"I heard that there are some unstable factors in the Tianzhu area. How about it? Everything is still under control, right?"

Jiang Dong asked bluntly, not intending to show any mercy to Slim.

Slim's smile froze for a moment, and then he said calmly:

"General Lao is concerned about it. It's just some minor problems and they have been brought under control."

Jiang Dong nodded and asked again:

"Is General Alexander okay?"

This question has a very clear direction. Judging from Jiang Dong's expression, he seems to be eager for something to happen to Alexander.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Slim complained endlessly and quickly changed the subject.

"Commander-in-Chief, let me introduce to you. This is the Governor of Imperial India, Marquis Hope."

This was the first time Jiang Dong saw a nobleman of the Marquis level, and he couldn't help but take a closer look.

"Mr. Marquis, I have long admired your name!"

Marquis Hope maintained the attitude of a noble and did not deliberately cater to Jiangdong, even though the Sun Never Sets Empire asked him to do so.

He wanted to appear approachable, but in his heart he actually looked down on yellow people. The conflict between the two made his movements and demeanor stiff and weird.

Jiang Dong didn't take it seriously and led them into the living room.

The people from the secretariat quickly brought hot tea and cakes.

After a brief exchange of greetings, General Slim went straight to the point:

"Commander-in-Chief, you must have heard that jet fighters equipped by the Third Reich have repeatedly invaded our country's airspace. The Royal Air Force fought bravely and fearlessly. Although it achieved some results, it could not reverse the decline in a short time."

"Two days ago, the evil Hitler even ordered the use of missiles to attack cities on the island of Great Britain indiscriminately."

"Many civilians, including innocent children and poor women, died in the missile strikes."

"This behavior violates the conventions of war and should be condemned and counterattacked by all civilized countries."

Jiang Dong looked like he was listening very carefully, which gave General Slim some psychological comfort.

Slim glanced at Marquis Hope and continued:

"Commander-in-Chief, we must admit that in today's era, only your country's weapons and equipment can compete with the Third Reich."

"This is the purpose for which Mr. Marquis and I came to Peking."

After finishing speaking, the living room fell into a brief silence. Marquis Hope and General Slim looked at Jiangdong with some anxiety.

Jiang Dong already knew what the two wanted from the Rockefeller family:

1,000 missiles, 200 fighter planes!

The price that Great Britain wants is US$100,000 for each missile and US$50,000 for each fighter jet.

The missiles of the Third Reich were the greatest threat to the island of Great Britain, so the military wanted to buy as many missiles as possible.

The number of jet fighters equipped by the Third Reich Air Force was limited, and the Royal Air Force would use quantity to make up for the quality gap and limit the actions of enemy jet fighters.

In addition, the United States and the Empire will also successfully develop their own jet fighters.

The purchase of China's jet fighters is not only used for reference research, but also for emergency purposes.

Therefore, their demand for missiles is greater than their demand for fighter aircraft.

As for other weapons and equipment, such as artillery, rocket launchers, tanks, etc., the Sun Never Sets Empire relies more on assistance from the United States, with a small amount purchased from China through the Rockefeller family.

Slim and Marquis Hope only intended to negotiate missile and fighter jet deals with Koto.

Facing the gazes of the two people, Jiang Dong behaved very calmly. He picked up the teacup and took a sip before saying:

"Let me make it clear that your country's demand for missiles is too great for us to deliver them all at once. If it is that quantity, it will need to be delivered in at least three batches, with an interval of about a month between each batch."

"One more thing to note is that missiles and jet fighters are high-tech products. I hope you can understand their value!"

Slim and Hope looked at each other and knew that what Jiang Dong meant was that the price they offered before was too low.

"What's the commander-in-chief's price?" After pondering for a moment, Marquis Hope asked tentatively.

Jiang Dong fiddled with the tea leaves and said softly:

"The lowest price of a missile is 600,000 US dollars, and the lowest price of a jet fighter is 200,000 US dollars!"

The sound of General Slim and Marquis Hope gasping for air could be heard in the drawing room.
