" Hiss, attack type assault helicopter…"
Looking at this guy who was as expensive as 20 million dollars, Lu Lide's eyes lit up.
Compared to tanks and armored vehicles, assault helicopters were the real hard to buy weapons and equipment.
This thing was too much of a threat to the ground forces, and the various countries would not sell it casually. If they did not give them satisfactory conditions or because of strategic needs, no one would sell it to you.
"A complete armored division naturally needs to be equipped with assault helicopters. You need at least 30 Predators.”Jiang Cheng stared at Lu Reid and suggested.
"Jiang, 20 million dollars for one is really too expensive. Can you make it cheaper?”Lu Reid said with a bitter face.
He could only take out a total of 3 billion gold coins. If he were to buy 30 Predator assault helicopters, he would have to spend 600 million gold coins on this equipment alone. Who could afford this!
It was one thing to be able to afford it, but it was another thing to be able to maintain it.
"Mr. Minister, you have to look at the long term. You can't just look at the short-term costs. You have to look at the long-term benefits. After you defeat all the opponents, the entire Eliya will be yours. As far as I know, the annual financial income of Eliya is about 9 billion dollars. Moreover, there are still many undeveloped natural resources in Eliya.”
"So you're eyeing the natural resources of Elijah?”Lu Lide's expression changed slightly, and he became a little vigilant.
From the looks of it now, Jiang's appetite was not small!
" The light and heavy industries in Erria are almost empty. Only natural resources can be used. If Erria wants to develop, it can only go through the path of raw material processing and export. If you hand it over to others to develop, it's still development. Why don't you hand it over to me to operate? The distribution of benefits will naturally satisfy the minister. Besides, we're all in the same boat!”Jiang Cheng chuckled and directly pointed out what he wanted.
If he wanted to obtain these weapons and equipment, he would have to pay the equivalent amount of money, as well as some other benefits. After all, there was no free lunch in the world.
To Jiang Cheng, if he wanted to develop faster, he could only think of ways to earn money or plunder all kinds of resources.
Resources were equivalent to exchange points, and money was also equivalent to exchange points. With exchange points, it was equivalent to having everything.
"I can agree to any of your requests!”After thinking for a long time, Lu Reid finally made up his mind.
What Jiang Cheng said was right. As long as he could control Elijah, what was the cost?
"By the way, there are some light weapons at the back. Do you want to take a look?”Jiang Cheng pointed at the phone.
Hearing this, Lu Lide continued reading.
The light weapons at the back were relatively simple. They were all mainstream weapons and equipment in active service around the world.
Half an hour later, Jiang Cheng saw Lu Lide put down his phone and quickly said,"Mr. Minister, what do you think? How many weapons and equipment do you need?”
"Let me think about it!" Lu Reid couldn't make up his mind.
He only had three billion gold coins of liquid funds to use, and every penny had to be spent on the blade.
"What's there to think about? Let's do as I say. 200 Grizzly Battle Tanks will cost 700 million gold, 400 Cheetah Battle Tanks will cost 720 million gold, 30 Predator assault helicopters will cost 600 million gold, 60,000 AK assault rifles will cost 90 million gold, and 5000 general-purpose machine guns will cost 180 million gold.”
"In total, we need to spend 2.29 billion meters of gold. The remaining 710 million meters of gold will be used to purchase weapons and ammunition as reserves.”
Jiang Cheng talked non-stop and arranged everything for Lu Reid clearly.
"An armored division is too luxurious. I think we need to reduce the configuration.”Lu Lide shook his head, disapproving of this purchase plan.
In his opinion, it was quite fun to purchase, but he would have a headache when it came to maintenance. That would be a huge expense, and it would be continuous.
"Why should we reduce the allocation?" Jiang Cheng expressed that he did not understand and said logically," When you control Erria, it's equivalent to controlling the financial income of Erria, as well as the national resources of Erria. You can still afford an armored division. Also, only when you are strong enough will your foundation be stable.”
"It's still not appropriate. One armored division is too many. I can't find enough professional soldiers in the National Defence Force.”Lu Reid still disagreed.
There were not enough professional soldiers. This was a very big problem. They couldn't just buy them and use them as decorations!
"Didn't I say it before? I will send a professional training officer to solve your worries.”
Jiang Cheng's words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Lu Reed's eyes immediately lit up, and the scales in his heart instantly tilted.
Professional training officers were easy. They could just hand it over to the clones. Perhaps the beginner army clones would be enough.
This was because every army clone was all-rounded. They could skillfully control all the army equipment, and there was no need to divide them into small units.
"In that case, we'll purchase according to this list.”Lu Reid nodded heavily and agreed to the plan.
"By the way, how long will it take to deliver the goods?”Lu Lide asked another important question.
If the delivery time was too long, even the cucumbers might be cold by then.
"Half a month at the earliest, 30 days at the latest!”Jiang Cheng gave such a deadline.
"Jiang, your power really shocks me!”Lu Lide's eyes were filled with shock, but then he felt relieved.
Since Jiang was the spokesperson of the Dragon Country, he naturally had such power.
However, what Lu Reid did not know was that the Dragon Country was just a shield pulled out by Jiang Cheng. The real situation was that there was no relationship between the two.
"My dear Mr. Minister, there's another very important question. You need to pay a third of the deposit.”Jiang Cheng said unhurriedly.
"No problem. Give me a day. I will prepare 1 billion dollars and transfer it to the account you specified.”Lu Lide readily agreed.
"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation and also wish Minister Lu Reed a great future.”Jiang Cheng raised his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.
He knew that the reason why Lu Reid was so straightforward was mainly because the shield he pulled out had sufficient strength.
