30 billion dollars?
Are you going to send the beggar away?
Lin Xuan looked around at the higher-ups of Yingjiang and finally stopped his gaze on Old Deng's face. He said in a deep voice,
"Mr. Deng, 60 billion Xia Yuan!”
"Mister Lin Xuan, 30 billion dollars!”
Old Deng replied loudly in pain. He still insisted on 30 billion dollars, but he was unwilling to let go.
Amilijian didn't want to be a sucker. 30 billion dollars was already a high price for the nuclear materials for dozens of nuclear bombs and some construction and industrial facilities.
"Mr. President, it seems that we don't have to continue talking. What China is going to pay isn't all kinds of nuclear weapons investment. What we are really paying is to voluntarily give up on nuclear weapons!”
"If Amilijian is willing to give up nuclear weapons, China can pay Amilijian 1 trillion Xia dollars!”
After saying these words, Lin Xuan slowly stood up and walked towards the main door, looking as if there was no need to talk anymore.
"Mr. King!"
Eaglejam's Secretary of State, Abraham, hurried over and said,""60 billion Xia Yuan is too much. Even if we agree, the other mainstream countries will not agree.”
"Mr. Secretary of State!"
Lin Xuan looked at him and smiled." The military budget for this year is as high as 768.2 billion dollars. In comparison, 60 billion dollars is negligible."”
“……”
Abraham was speechless.
God! How could they compare?
Is it wrong for us to spend our own money?
The compensation for nuclear weapons was given to your country. How could it be the same?
On the sofa, when Old Deng saw Lin Xuan was about to slam the door and leave, he had no choice but to raise the price.
"Alright then! Greedy king, you win!”
"35 billion dollars, this is my highest authority!”
Lin Xuan was speechless.
After all, he was President Ying-chan.
Can't you have a bit of temperament?
Wasting half a day's worth of saliva just to add 5 billion dollars?
In order to extort more money, Lin Xuan's eyes flashed as an interesting idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
The three existing conventional aircraft carrier formations in China would be gradually disbanded and then retired for reselling.
Therefore, he first dug a hole for Ying-chan and used the disbanding of the coastal fleet as bait to make Ying-chan, Korea, and Japan bleed a little more.
Looking at the world, there were only a dozen or so countries that had the ability to develop the navy of a great country, such as America, the Dragon Country, the Northern Bear Country, the Indian Country, Japan, Korea, Germany, Gaul, and the Eagle Country.
China was located at the eastern entrance of the Pacific Ocean, which was also the location of the volcanic islands in his previous life. If there was anyone who wanted to see the Chinese navy weaken the most, it would be Korea and Japan.
This was because China often relied on its powerful navy to show off its muscles in Korea or Japan's coastal waters.
He had no choice!
Counting the neighbors, threatening the Dragon Country and the Northern Bear was asking for humiliation. The other neighbors were pitifully weak. Only bullying Korea and Japan would give him a sense of accomplishment.
Therefore, how could Ying-chan, Korea, and Japan not fall for the bait of disbanding the coastal fleet?
Of course, Lin Xuan wasn't really disbanding. He wanted to gradually rebuild the Xia Country Navy and develop it into a super navy that could compete with the Yingjiang Navy as quickly as possible.
Anyway, I've abided by the agreement. I've disbanded the coastal fleet and sold the warships and aircraft carriers. What fault can the three of you find?
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan walked back to his seat.
He stared at Old Deng quietly for a while and said calmly,
"Mr. President, China is a small country. The high military expenditure for nearly 30 years has caused China's economy to regress.”
"Two years ago, China was still the ninth largest economy in the world, but now it has regressed to the 11th largest economy in the world.”
"Next, China is prepared to wholeheartedly develop its economy. I'm even preparing to disband the coastal fleet. All the warships of the coastal fleet will be gradually retired and resold.”
"40 billion Xia Yuan, this is my final bottom line. Xia country needs to use this money to improve the national economy, thus opening the first shackle for Xia country's economic transformation.”
He was not talking nonsense. The national economy of Xia country would be tied to the military in the future, and they would embark on the path of resource snatching.
There was nothing he could do about it. With such a bandit system, this kind king could only become even more amiable.
"Disband the coastal fleet and focus on developing the economy…"
Old Deng was shocked. The members of Yingjian's cabinet and several military bigwigs had the same shocked expression.
China had a total of three major fleets, namely the coastal squadron, voyage squadron, and Pacific squadron. Giving up the coastal squadron was equivalent to cutting one-third of the naval strength.
Yes!
Xia country's economy was indeed held back by the military.
The former Su Xiong's end of militarism was right in front of his eyes.
" 40 billion Xia Yuan, give up nuclear weapons, disband the coastal fleet, and focus on developing the economy…" Old Deng muttered to himself. His turbid eyes gradually became bright, as sharp as an eagle's eyes.
Finally, Old Deng stood up from the sofa.
With a friendly smile on his face, he slowly walked towards Lin Xuan and stretched out his hand."Mr. King, congratulations on making the right choice. Your citizens will be proud of your choice.”
Seeing this, Lin Xuan also smiled and held Old Deng's hand. He pretended to sigh,"" Mr. President, China is a small country. We have a small population and lack resources. It's already a blessing in disguise for China to be able to stay in a corner. After 30 years of rapid development, China should stop and take a break to carefully consider its future development path.”
"I can swear in the name of God that Xia Country is a modern miracle. Every Emperor Xia is an outstanding figure.”Old Deng praised sincerely.
"Mr. Dunn, thank you for your praise.”
Lin Xuan's laughter was gentle as he added in his heart,""Ying-chan, you guys are really good people!"
……
Two hours later.
In the Baigong auditorium.
Hundreds of people filled the auditorium.
Lin Xuan and Old Deng stood on the stage. There were only the two of them.
Below the stage were members of Yingjiang's cabinet, important military personnel, mainstream media reporters from various countries, ambassadors from various countries to Yingjiang, and important officials from various organizations of the Blue Star League of Nations.
It could be seen that many reporters were generous with their cameras, snapping photos from all angles.
"Thank God, thank the wise Emperor Xia, thank him for his contribution to world peace, thank China for voluntarily giving up nuclear weapons, and welcome China to join the Nuclear Non-Expansion Convention!”
On the stage, Old Deng stood behind the podium on the right. He turned his head to look at Lin Xuan as he spoke into the microphone.
After he finished speaking, Old Deng took the lead in clapping.
Suddenly, enthusiastic applause swept through the entire Baigong auditorium, as ear-piercing as thunder.
" Sh * t…" Toppu, who was sitting below the stage, pouted and complained about Old Deng. If Old Deng had not snatched his re-election, he would be the one standing on the stage now.
"Father, you should let go of the prejudice in your heart. The failure of the election cannot be blamed on Mr. Deng.”
Beside Te Pupu, Kuwanka, who had come to join in the fun, looked at Te Pupu with a headache. She smiled helplessly.
"My dear father, you need to examine your own shortcomings and make changes. Only in this way can you return to the White Palace in the next election!”
"The election?"
Te Pu Pu's eyes lit up, then he sighed and shook his head,""Savanna, I think I'm in big trouble. Those two hateful old witches are going to start an investigation on me, and maybe you too!”
Kang Wanka was shocked and said in a trembling voice,""What do they want? What do they want to investigate?"
"I don't know!" Toppu shook his head and shrugged. He really didn't know what the two old witches were up to.
After four years in office, who wouldn't make mistakes?
It was impossible for him to remember everything clearly.
Seeing that Te Pu Pu didn't know anything, Wanka's heart sank. She had done many illegal things when she was the advisor to the president.
ps:
Looking for fresh flowers, monthly votes, and evaluation votes.
I'll just give it to you. Thank you.
