The aircraft carrier was undoubtedly invented by the English.
In the beginning, it was just an old cruiser that had been modified into a simple seaplane carrier. In the end, it evolved into the first " pure-blooded " aircraft carrier.
Of course.
This 'purebred aircraft carrier' was still under construction.
Moreover, the Japanese were competing with the English for the title of the world's first pure aircraft carrier.
In the original history, it was Japan's Fengxiang that won the title of the first purebred aircraft carrier.
Of course.
These were all off-topic.
The four 'Lexington Class Battlecruisers' that Rowei wanted to purchase had actually been very glorious in history.
This was because the battleships were actually the future aircraft carriers.
The original plan was to build six battleships.
However, because of the end of the war, the US Navy no longer needed to maintain a larger fleet.
Therefore, he gave up on four of the orders and only built two of them.
During the construction process, these two combat cruisers were also transformed into aircraft carriers.
These were the future generations of the CVs 2 and 3, the Lex and Sarataga.
And what Rowei wanted were these two warships.
What use did he have for these battleships now?
Actually, it was useless.
This was because even the United States was still in the process of building such a warship.
It would take at least four years to complete the project.
However, Lowi did not want to buy those 'dreadnought ships' that had already been built but were destined to be eliminated. These ships would be completely live targets in World War II.
Therefore, instead of buying some old dreadnought ships that were in stock but destined to be obsolete, it was better to buy a few new warships that were still under construction but could be used for at least another 20 years.
"I can report the situation to the country.”
Shulman pondered for a moment and chuckled." But I don't think they'll refuse.”
Luo Wei spent money to buy the order that the US Navy had given up. How could the Navy not know?
But the shipbuilders must be ecstatic-
If the warship that was originally planned to be built was canceled just like that, they would definitely lose money.
Now that someone was taking over, the relationship was good!
Therefore, even if the US Navy refused.
However, the shipbuilding company would definitely try their best to contact Rowe in private to negotiate this deal.
After all, which businessman wasn't after profit?
This was a total of 2.2 million pounds and 11 million US dollars!
As long as this business deal could be negotiated, why would he need a bicycle?!
For the US, this business was definitely profitable.
They couldn't find any reason to refuse.
As for Rowe…
2.2 million pounds, 20 cents for a ticket, that was 4,400 dollars.
On average, a warship only cost 1100 yuan.
If there was such a good thing in the modern world, all the countries would definitely go crazy with jealousy!
"Of course."
Luo Wei smiled reservedly." Other than that, I also want to discuss another business deal with the United States.”
"Please!"
Shulman's gaze became fiery.
"I need two M1911 production lines.”
"A pistol?"
Shulman was stunned for a moment and hesitated." The M1911 is a pistol. Are you sure you don't want a rifle?”
"It's a pistol."
Luo Wei shrugged." In fact, I'm actually very worried about my own safety. I can better protect myself with a few pistols.”
"Haha…"
Shulman's mouth twitched. How many pistols?
It was not a problem for a pistol production line to produce tens of thousands of pistols a year.
Do you want to bring 10,000 bodyguards with you?
"Happy cooperation."
Although Shulman was complaining in his heart, he still reached out his hand to Rowe with a smile on his face.
They had only come to annoy Taylor, but in the end, the order they received was even bigger than English's.
It was suggested that more of such good things happen.
"Mr. Luo is a friend of America!”
Shulman looked at Rowe with an increasingly friendly gaze, wishing he could become Rowe's sworn brother on the spot.
"Happy cooperation."
Rowe smiled and shook his hand.
In modern times, money was just a pile of waste paper.
But in the Republic of China, money was a symbol of power.
"Mr. Luo."
As soon as the British and American ambassadors left, the butler walked in with a strange expression." The French ambassador is looking for you.”
"Invite him in."
The corners of Rowei's mouth curled up slightly.
France was much easier to talk to than these two countries.
"Mr. Luo."
As soon as he entered, the French ambassador Matt cut to the chase." I've already negotiated with Schneider. Do you still want to do this business?”
He already knew that the British and American ambassadors had come to look for Rowe.
Therefore, he rushed over immediately, afraid that his business would be stolen.
"Of course."
Luo Wei smiled and nodded.
"Mr. Luo,"
Matt immediately said,"A Miss 75 production line with a monthly production of 50 howitzers only costs 400,000 pounds, a Schneider M1913 Type 105 Howitzer production line with a monthly production of 20 howitzers only costs 500,000 pounds, and a Schneider M1917/28 Type 155 Howitzer production line with a monthly production of 10 howitzers only costs 600,000 pounds!”
Matt took a sip of water and looked at Rowe with anticipation." How is it?”
"Sure."
Luo Wei nodded slowly." The price is very reasonable, but I have a request.”
Unlike the United States, Britain, and Germany, there was no price to negotiate with France.
Moreover, the price he offered was actually very reasonable.
Perhaps it was because of the stimulation of the successive business deals between Germany and the United States, he did not dare to ask for too much.
"Please speak, Mr. Luo."
Matt lowered his posture and said hurriedly.
"Don't be nervous."
Luo Wei chuckled." It's not a big deal. It's just that if France makes improvements to these cannons in the future, I need to get an unconditional upgrade in technology.”
"No problem."
Matt heaved a sigh of relief. These were all trivial matters.
They hadn't even improved it themselves, so who could predict the future?
"Then, what about the spot price?"
Luo Wei asked.
"Miss 75, 1000 pounds, 105 howitzer, 2000 pounds, 155 howitzer, 4000 pounds.”
Matt was clearly prepared as well.
"Two Miss 75 production lines, one 105 howitzer and one 155 howitzer production line.”
"Then we'll purchase 400 Miss 75 Howitzers, 200 105 Howitzers, and 100 155 Howitzers.”
Luo Wei pondered for two seconds and slowly gave his request." But I want the goods in stock. They have to be delivered together with the production line.”
In fact, other than the cannons, Rowe had also purchased a batch of Stokes mortars.
The production line was naturally bought as well.
However, it was a weapon that was going to be eliminated, so he could just get some stock and use it.
"Of course you can."
Matt estimated the price, his eyes burning.
Big sponsor, a real big sponsor!
"I'll go back and draft the contract now."
Seeing that Rowei had agreed, Matt didn't dare to stay any longer and impatiently prepared to go back and draft the contract.
He looked as if he was afraid that the United States and the United Kingdom would join forces to snatch the order. He wondered if there was a precedent.
