spn "Since His Majesty has encountered difficulties, as an important future alliance partner of the alliance, we will never sit idly by."

Hu Kun has long been attracted by the price and performance of the Tianlong-class battleship. Even if he doesn't know much about military affairs, he knows that this is a very powerful and value-for-money battleship.

The Alliance has always lacked main battleships that could provide an advantage over the enemy. It has always resorted to piling up cannon fodder and used a large number of junk battleships to coordinate battleship operations.

This result seemed to solve the temporary problem, but actually dragged the alliance into a long-term war quagmire.

If we can get this kind of battleship with advanced performance from Zhang Shusheng, it can change the unfavorable situation of the alliance.[

What he was afraid of was that the other party would not mention conditions. Now that Zhang Shusheng himself said that he had difficulties, that was the best thing.

"I am going to borrow a sum of money from your country."

Zhang Shusheng said.

"If it is a small number, I can make the decision and agree to your majesty, but if the number is relatively huge..."

Hu Kun said with some embarrassment that this emperor was not polite, he just wanted to borrow money. If it was less than tens of millions of universe coins, he would make the decision and agree to it.

This kind of money is not expected to be repaid by the other party, so it should be spent from the alliance's government public relations fund.

"Yes, the numbers are huge.

This kind of battleship is relatively advanced even in the third-level civilization, and it is difficult for us to manufacture it.

If Mr. President and your alliance are interested, the number of battleships needed in the future will be astronomical, and it is necessary for us to expand production capacity in advance. And all of this requires investment."

Zhang Shusheng said straight to the point that ever since the Orion Alliance started contacting him, he has been targeting these people.

Although the Orion Cantilever is only a quasi-second-level civilization, it does not lack money, but it lacks technology and battleships.

When Hu Kun heard that the funds borrowed by Zhang Shusheng were used to expand the production capacity of the warship factory, he felt happy and worried at the same time.

Fortunately, once the production capacity of the battleship factory increases, the alliance will have the opportunity to buy a large number of cheap advanced battleships.

What I'm worried about is that the funds related to the battleship factory are astronomical.

"I don't know how much your Majesty is prepared to borrow. If the number is really huge, I need to go back and discuss it with the lawmakers."

Hu Kun asked bluntly.

Zhang Shusheng did not rush to answer, but slowly said: "Currently, our annual production capacity is only 20 battleships of this kind. Apart from keeping battleships for our own use, we basically have no share for export.

Now the Principality of Rank is in a precarious situation, and all the countries are working hard. It is possible that the Principality of Rank will eventually be divided up.

No matter what, chaos has arisen in the southwest star field. Once the alliance possesses such advanced battleships, it will be able to gain an advantage in the subsequent melee.[

For your country, I think the most important issue is not the issue of funds, but the issue of territory and security. If you can’t even protect the country and nation, what’s the use of more money?”

"Indeed."

Hu Kun said with emotion that for more than a hundred years, he had been fighting against the Principality of Lanke for a long time. He had long suffered from headaches and stagnated development. The casualties amounted to hundreds of millions of soldiers, which was beyond what money could describe.

Not to mention those border mines that were looted. The number of battleships that were smashed to pieces in the past 100 years alone exceeded 2,000.

Zhang Shusheng secretly thought, this is how business is done.

The lower realm is when you sell something, others need it, and then the transaction is successfully completed.

The medium level is when other people's demand for such things can be bought or not, and you can successfully sell the goods to them.

Of course, in the higher realm, if others don’t want to buy it, you can still sell the product to them and open up new markets.

The highest state is when you are sitting at home, and others are crying and begging to come to your door to buy something. If you look around the world, you will find rare goods. This is the real domineering spirit of a big businessman who steals the country.

The current battleship factory of the empire, even if it is not responsible for the production of Shenlong battleships, can only produce 10 ships per year. This number was exaggerated by him. Of course, the future main battleship of the empire will be the Shenlong-class battleship.

The method Zhang Shusheng is using now is actually to use future expectations to get loans from the alliance, link by link, and finally get the funds.

If he doesn't raise money through these wretched methods, then he has no choice but to sell energy mines or other mineral energy sources, or at worst, sell slaves, sell technology, and sell planets.

He didn't want to do any of these, so the only option was to trick people with arms. The person in front of him was obviously the one who was taken advantage of. If not him, who should he be tricked?

"As far as I know, the cost of upgrading the warship factory is an astronomical figure. I wonder how much your Majesty hopes to borrow from the alliance?"

Seeing that Zhang Shusheng didn't speak, Hu Kun asked on his own.

Zhang Shusheng smiled and said, "Although I hope to borrow as much as possible, I am afraid that I will not be able to pay it back, haha. Therefore, the amount depends on how many battleships you need in a year.

I can honestly say that if your country can provide this loan, I can guarantee that the Tianlong-class battleship will not be sold to the enemies of the Orion Alliance for a long period of time.

Once there is a war in the alliance, I can provide you with the factory output first."

Although he did not directly offer a price, he proposed to approve the loan based on production capacity, and then sell most of the output of the Tianlong battleship to the alliance on the premise of the loan. Such conditions were enough for President Hu Kun to go back and explain to the congressmen.

.

Sure enough, when Hu Kun heard these two conditions added by Zhang Shusheng, he was immediately moved.

Loans require a name. Even though he is the president, he is not the emperor after all and cannot make the decision like Zhang Shusheng. Now that he has these two conditions, it is easier for him to act.

If you want to achieve political achievements, how do you do it? Of course it is war. War is the fastest way to achieve political achievements.[

To win the war, powerful battleships are needed.

Hu Kun actually knew very well that the alliance would eventually change presidents. As long as he had a suitable name, he should spend money. If it was left to the next president to waste, it would be better to spend it himself. After all, it was the alliance's money, not any emperor's.

.

"If this is the case, I am confident that I can convince those stubborn congressmen. As for the specific demand quantity, I may need to discuss it with the generals.

However, if it is a particularly large loan, it will require a certain amount of collateral. I can make the decision to lower some conditions."

Hu Kun said magnanimously.

Zhang Shusheng shook his head, "Naturally, you can't ask Mr. President to lower your conditions for this kind of thing, as that will have a negative impact on your political future. President Hu Kun and I are very fond of you, and we want to cooperate for decades more.

As for the mortgage, I still have a living planet under my name that can be mortgaged, so I can use it as a mortgage. The Planet Registration Committee and the Universe Bank can guarantee it.

As for the repayment issue, it can be directly deducted from the purchase price.”

The method proposed by Zhang Shusheng is already one step after another.

In a country with a federal system, is it difficult to get a loan? Then let those legislators see the absolute benefits.

They are afraid that if I cannot repay the loan, then I will mortgage the planet.

They were afraid that my repayment would be too slow, so they used the warship payment to offset it.

What Zhang Shusheng lacks most now is the production capacity of battleships. After all, the war is approaching, and the problem of insufficient battleships is becoming more and more prominent. It is impossible to afford them. Even if Yunya opens a back door for himself, it will only be enough for dozens of battleships, and in the event of a war,

If it expands, it is very likely that the Nok Merchant Alliance will also be involved. When arms sales are controlled, I may not be able to buy them.

We must seize this opportunity to expand production capacity.

"Your Majesty, I deeply feel your sincerity. I will pass on your other conditions to the parliament. However, regarding the issue of warship payment deductions, out of personal friendship, I suggest to you that you can propose a ratio and deduct 100% of the payment at once.

Warship payment is not good for the development of your country."

Hu Kun finally made a very friendly suggestion.

Zhang Shusheng was immediately overjoyed and laughed, the two of them had reached a consensus.

At the end of the meeting between the two, Zhang Shusheng hinted that the friendship fee of 5 million universe coins had been transferred to Mr. President's personal secret account. As for Hu Kun's surprised and incomprehensible expression, Zhang Shusheng naturally laughed it off, leaving him with a suspense.

But after reaching a certain height, Hu Kun did not struggle with the money, but went back more readily. The loan amount Zhang Shusheng finally extended to him was a one-time loan of 5 years for a battleship based on 2 million cosmic coins, so

First, if he plans to buy one ship every year, Zhang Shusheng can only get a loan of 15 million cosmic coins.

If you plan to purchase 100 ships a year and purchase a total of 500 ultra-large-scale ships, you can borrow about 1 billion cosmic coins.

…

"Mr. President, it's hard for me to believe that such a first-class civilization can produce such advanced battleships."

"Hmph, aren't we also a country united by multiple first-level civilizations? How can you discriminate against the Chinese Empire?"

"My fleet must prioritize the allocation of these battleships."

"Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, we need to purchase 100 or even hundreds of these battleships. Then we will have an offensive advantage even if we face any super fleet of the Longshan Empire."

"However, this year's arms purchase budget has almost been spent."

"Sir Speaker, if the front line fails, the enemy is likely to rush to the capital star in a few days. By then, your garden villa in the suburbs will probably be destroyed."

"Thinking about our dead comrades and dead relatives, this is an opportunity for revenge. We must purchase such high-quality and low-priced advanced battleships."

"If we reach this loan and arms purchase agreement with the other party, then we will become allies in terms of interests. The other party's technological strength is so strong, it will be of great help to us, and it can also attack the Principality of Rank and other countries."

…

The outcome of the debate was smoother than President Hu Kun expected.

A special budget began to be put on the agenda. Senior officials including the Speaker, Minister of Defense and other officials had reached a verbal agreement, and a loan of up to 500 million cosmic coins was included in the plan. President Hu Kun happily addressed those senior officials in the conference room.

They shouted the slogan: "The alliance needs battleships and allies, we will definitely destroy Rank!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian (), monthly vote, your support is my greatest
