Chapter 688: The Huge Profits of Battleship Trading
,
spn "Vice Prime Minister Cai, the Orion Alliance fleet has arrived."
Cai E, Sun Xiwu, and Qin Baijiang had already finished dressing up, and they were all in official uniforms of the imperial military.
Cai E is wearing the uniform of a general of the Imperial Space Force, and Sun Xiwu is wearing a lieutenant general uniform. This is already a very high military rank. Currently, the empire does not have the rank of marshal, only the rank of grand marshal of His Majesty the Emperor.
"The Orion fleet stopped outside the fire range of both sides. They maintained the formation of a friendly visit and sent communication requests. The two sides are confirming and communicating."
Cai E: "Order, the fleet lines up and maintains the welcoming formation."[
After a series of tedious communications between the two armies, the two sides finally confirmed that they would hold a commanders' meeting.
"The commander of the Orion 7th Fleet, Vice Admiral Gao Long, and the special representative of the President of the Orion Alliance, Wagra, are flying towards us in a small spacecraft."
After hearing the latest report, Cai E also smiled and said: "Let's go and meet our big customers."
Immediately, Cai E, Sun Xiwu, and Qin Baijiang, together with Chen Yuan, the head of the Shusheng Arms Company under the Shusheng Group, came to the terrace of the China Ship to greet this big customer.
From time to time, a luxurious, high-end small spacecraft came slowly from a distance.
"General, why do the Chinese have so many super battleships?"
On the small spacecraft, Wagra, the special representative of Orion Alliance President Hu Kun, stared at the giant ships outside the ship and said in stunned silence.
Because the Chinese fleet is in a welcome formation, the fleet is arranged on both sides, leaving a passage for the small spacecraft in the middle, and at the end of the passage is the flagship China.
In this way, it not only looks grand, but also shows the majesty and power of the Chinese fleet.
Gao Long's eyes were also focused on those battleships. Just now, he thought they were just larger battleships when they were far away in the fleet. Now that he was closer, he saw the giant battleships. The ferocious main gun muzzles, the dark
Hull, his expression also became solemn.
"The Chinese have also compiled some Tianlong-class battleships. But although the other type of battleship is similar in size, it is obviously more advanced.
It has the same dual main gun configuration, and there is an energy accelerator on the bow of the ship to facilitate accelerated escape in critical moments. The entire battleship looks more powerful than the Tianlong-class battleship, and the configuration is more high-end. What model is this?"
Gao Long knew very well that although the Tianlong-class battleship had reached the 3,000-meter level, it had not yet left the category of the enhanced G-type battleship.
Although it has dual main guns, an energy system, a speed system, and a defense system that are all excellent, except that the battleship's size has completely reached the level of an entry-level super battleship, it can actually only be considered a super battleship.
And these Chinese battleships have obviously reached the standard of entry-level super battleships.
However, when Gao Long saw his destination, the Chinese flagship, he could no longer look away.
"Super battleship!! This is a real super battleship."
The Zhonghua super battleship in front of Gao Long does not have many secondary guns, but it has a total of 3 main guns, and its firepower is absolutely fierce.
The 3500-level hull, a super energy accelerating nose mask protruding high on the bow, and energy generation slots on the left and right sides of the hull for opening the second-layer energy shield in emergencies all made Gao Long drool at the sight.

"Even the super battleships of the Kuluo Federation are not at this level. At least they are at the level of the flagship of the Kuluo Federation's super fleet.
Where did the Chinese get this big thing? The value of this battleship alone is higher than that of their own fleet."
Gao Long's shock is understandable.
When the Seventh Fleet was formed, the military had communicated with the Kuluo Federation, hoping to obtain several entry-level super battleships from the Kuluo Federation to serve as flagships like the Nok Merchant Alliance.
In order to strengthen the military strength of the Orion Alliance and take care of this little partner to deal with the conspiracy of the Silver Moon Empire, the Guluo Federation did not refuse, but gave a quotation.
The price quoted for one entry-level super battleship reaches the total price quoted for 50 conventional battleships.
The price quoted for a standard super battleship reaches the price quoted for 100 conventional battleships.
The quotation for a flagship-class super battleship of the Kuluo Federation military super fleet reached the price of 500 conventional battleships.
This quotation list shocked the arms purchase officials of the Orion Alliance at the time. When they learned that some of the entry-level super battleships purchased by the Nok Merchant Alliance were based on this preferential price, they could only purchase a very few ships for the capital.
Star Defense.
Not even the 7th Fleet was allocated it, it was too expensive.
Gao Long understands that this price must be exaggerated. Even if it is a friendly price, it contains too many things. Firstly, advanced civilizations do not want their advanced battleships to fall into the hands of lower-level civilizations. Secondly, these battleships are indeed very expensive.
Thirdly, they can indeed greatly improve the military power of low-level civilizations, and this price is already very favorable.
Entry-level super battleships are also elite battleships in the third-level civilization. Like the flagship-level China in front of us, placed in the Guluo Federation, it is probably three points better than their super fleet flagship.
"The Chinese are so mysterious. Not only have they built a reinforced battleship like the Tianlong class with performance that fully reaches the third-level civilization level, they actually also have their own entry-level super battleship and flagship-level super battleship. It's really a surprise.
A thorough civilization.
Could it be that they really dug up the treasure of civilization?"
Gao Long didn't guess that this was also the unanimous view of the league's top brass.
The Lost Star Territory has been cut off from the outside world for tens of thousands of years. Maybe a super civilization was born in it before, or hid in it. The Chinese people are really lucky.
"General, we should purchase this more advanced warship, or even their flagship. It is too powerful."
Special Representative Wagla said with emotion.
"Yes, I very much hope that the alliance can purchase these two battleships. Unfortunately, the Chinese do not sell them at all, especially the flagship super battleship. The price quoted by the Kuluo Federation is the price of 500 standard battleships, which is enough to buy it.
Two Seventh Fleets."
Gao Long shook his head and said, the Wagla in front of him may be a master of political fighting, but he is a layman when it comes to military matters.
Sure enough, Vagra was shocked when he heard that the majestic flagship in front of him actually required the total price of 500 battleships.
"...It's unimaginable."[
"Perhaps as long as the alliance is willing to pay enough benefits, the Chinese will also sell this entry-level super battleship."
Gao Long thought optimistically that the Chinese were short of money and extremely in love with money, and he did not dare to think about a flagship-class ship. But those entry-level super battleships should be able to be purchased as long as the alliance can afford it.
In his opinion, as long as the battle against Rank goes smoothly and as long as the alliance is willing to give up some mineral stars or even a living planet, the Chinese may relent.
Soon, the small spacecraft approached the China and stopped on the small landing pad.
"Special Envoy Wagla, General Gao Long, welcome your visit."
The four men from Cai E walked out of the battleship door, and the soldiers on guard next to them saluted. After a device called a small protective shield was turned on, everyone seemed to be directly exposed to space, but they were not affected in any way.
"The Chinese indeed have some skills."
This kind of equipment does not exist in the Orion Alliance. Gao Long was slightly shocked. After the two sides saluted, they boarded a small Chinese spaceship to watch the ceremony.
"Special Envoy Vagra, General Gao Long. Please take a look at the battleship we delivered this time."
On the viewing spaceship, Cai E and the other four introduced Gao Long and Gao Long. The 150 trading battleships were located at the rear of the fleet and were also arranged neatly.
"The performance indicators of these 150 Tianlong-class battleships have fully reached the standards of the most powerful enhanced battleships of the Silver Moon Empire and the Guluo Federation, and the gap between them and the entry-level super battleships is also very small.
What everyone can see now is its specific performance indicators. Each battleship is currently equipped with only a minimum number of robots to ensure that the battleship can sail and conduct low-intensity self-defense operations..."
Cai E introduced to Gao Long that of the 150 Tianlong-class battleships, 140 were regular versions, priced at 5 million cosmic coins each, and 10 were deluxe versions, including some expensive equipment, priced at 700.
One ship of Ten Thousand Universe Coins.
Generally speaking, the Orion Alliance is still pragmatic in its military purchases. It purchases only ordinary versions and plans to buy 10 luxury versions for use as flagships.
Tianlong class actually has three grades of products, regular version, deluxe version and supreme version.
The Supreme Edition has reached the level of an entry-level super battleship, and Zhang Shusheng has not decided to sell it to the Orion Alliance.
In order to increase prices and profits, some core components in the Tianlong-class battleship are very expensive. This time, for maintenance reasons, the Orion paid an additional 50 million cosmic coins in addition to the battleship payment to purchase a large number of spare parts.
The total value of these battleships reached a huge figure of 820 million universe coins. After deducting the 420 million universe coins loan, there were still 400 million universe coins left.
According to the agreement between the two parties, Zhang Shusheng only needs to deliver 750 Tianlong-class battleships to pay off all the loans, and he can also earn more than 2 billion universe coins, which is an astronomical sum of money.
Calculated in this way, the empire actually received a development fund of about 5 billion cosmic coins. Even the Guluo Federation and the Silver Moon Empire would be difficult to provide such a huge loan assistance to a low-level civilization at one time.
"It's really great. With these 150 Tianlong-class battleships, not only can we form the 10th fleet immediately, but each fleet can also get a powerful flagship."
He has seen the performance of the luxury version of the Tianlong-class battleship, which is much better than his current enhanced flagship.
General Gao Long seems to have seen the scene where these 150 battleships suddenly appeared on the front line and defeated the Lancs after joining the alliance.
"Then let's complete this transaction."
So, the two sides then began to sign agreements on payment, loan deductions and other matters. As for warship inspections, the Orions only selected 10 ships for inspection. There were no problems at all. The rest were not inspected. They also knew that the Chinese did not
It would be a blatant violation of that supreme loan agreement.
After completing the contract, Gaolong took delivery of these 150 new battleships. After confirming that there was no danger along the border, the Orion Alliance also sent the Ninth Fleet to meet them.
"General Cai, I have received the joint combat order that just came from China. I will return as quickly as possible after I send these Tianlong-class battleships back."
Gao Long said happily that the order asked him to cooperate with the Chinese to complete a joint combat mission.
“We are very much looking forward to our cooperation.”
Cai E also smiled. He had just received this order. His Majesty personally sent it to him, asking him to cooperate with the Orions. The target is Lagu, the nearest living planet of the Lanc people!
Chapter completed!
