Chapter 718 Secret Exploration
Hafu Empire, at the residence of General Miankang.
"General, our intelligence personnel have confirmed that the Chinese provided this batch of very advanced battleships to the Orions. If the Lanks had not possessed the secret fleet provided by the Rong family, they would have lost their border defense line by this time."
Hughes, the intelligence director of the General's Mansion, reported the latest progress to General Miankang who was standing in front of the landing. The information was obtained smoothly. It was indeed a battleship sold by the Chinese to the Orion.
Mian Kang was very satisfied with Hughes' performance. As his most valued subordinates, the Hughes family had served the Mian Kang family for more than 150 years and were the most trustworthy people.
"Your Majesty attaches great importance to this matter. The situation is critical now. The sooner we can buy the battleship, the better for us. I want to leave this matter to you, Hughes, and let you contact the Chinese, find them, and disclose it to them."
Our purchasing intention."[
Although Hughes is only an intelligence director of the Mian family, he actually has great power, and he personally controls many secret businesses.
Miankang was sensitive to the fact that this was an excellent opportunity.
Hughes is also a good man, and he knows what is elegant. He said: "General, this is an excellent opportunity. Our empire has rarely made large-scale military purchases in recent years. General, you have always been honest and honest. If you can make it happen this time,
This huge military purchase should also allow the Mian family to receive some compensation."
Miankang nodded and said: "Although the empire has a big business, we still have to try our best to get preferential treatment. Especially when traitors are in charge, you have to make sure that the news does not leak out, otherwise other people are likely to be held responsible for this matter.
Your Majesty is very determined this time, and he hopes to have as many as possible in terms of quantity.
As for compensation, these are secondary. I believe in your ability, so just take care of it. Remember to report to me at any time."
Miankang thought for a while, but still did not tell Hughes to directly discuss the kickback. Although this kind of thing was common in the empire, as the empire's general, he at least was honest and honest in external affairs.
It's just that for a huge purchase of this scale, just getting a little kickback can benefit the Mian family a lot. This is a matter of negotiation skills, which is essentially different from corruption and bribery.
Miankang also felt that he had been too old-fashioned in recent years, so he left the matter to Hughes, believing that there would be a good result.
"General, don't worry. Our Hughes family has been loyal to the Mian family for more than a hundred years and has shared weal and woe. My subordinates will definitely do this well."
Of course Hughes understood what the general said. This kind of huge military procurement would definitely yield huge benefits as long as the negotiations were skillful. However, keeping secrets was particularly important. He had to contact the Chinese as soon as possible and reach a consensus with them.
"If we can facilitate this transaction, you will own 5% of any proceeds."
Mian Kang looked at Hughes's back and said very generously that this commission as a reward is definitely very considerable. As for the exact amount, it depends on Hughes' performance.
"Thank you, Master!"
Hughes turned around and knelt down. This time he called the master of the family directly. He was really grateful to the master of the family.
…
After Hughes returned home, he was still very excited. He felt incredible just thinking about the 5% bonus.
The price of this kind of super battleship is very expensive. Although the intelligence personnel did not obtain the purchase price of the Orion, they can estimate it from the third-party selling price.
For him, Harv IX is just a symbol. It doesn't matter who the emperor is, it is enough for him to know who the head of the family is.[
This time, the dead soldiers he trained can obtain this information, which can completely help the family leader to take the family to a higher level.
"But it's really hard to contact these Chinese people. They don't even have large-scale nodes on the Virtual Universe Network. I don't know if they are looking for an agent or something. It is estimated that only a very small number of people can access the Virtual Universe Network."
While thinking about how to deal with this matter, Hughes logged into the virtual network.
He thought over and over again, and the easiest way to contact the Chinese was to go to the Orions, but the source of the information this time was unknown. The dead men did not tell the truth, and the Orions also kept the source of their warships secret.
It is suspected that he has fallen into a trap, not to mention that only very high-ranking people on the other side probably know the whole story.
While browsing the virtual network, Hughes was thinking hard about how to contact the Chinese as quickly as possible.
Suddenly, he saw a post and his eyes suddenly lit up.
This is a very simple spam post. The poster posted a selfie video of a naked woman in a coquettish manner, claiming to be herself and seeking high-quality male relationships, which attracted several people to comment below.
But soon the post became a quarrel. When Hughes took a closer look, the person involved actually appeared and said that the post was a slanderous post and was not posted by her at all.
Hughes secretly cursed that no matter how old it is, those interstellar dead nerds are still so hopeless, but he thought of an excellent way.
He opened a poster and edited a post at will.
"Urgent notice: Super battleship for sale at low price
Dear customer, our country has recently developed a new type of battleship. The performance of the battleship is very outstanding, the price is favorable, and the quantity is limited..."
On a whim, Hughes used the posting tool in his hand to post such a post through the high-level accounts of many well-known websites. At the end of the post, he mentioned that he was a sales representative of the Chinese military, and also included a fierce picture of the battlefield.
A huge Tianlong-class battleship was firing, and a set of pictures smoothly showed the process of the battleship being easily destroyed.
The selection of this set of pictures is very shocking. Anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that this battleship is not a G-type conventional battleship, but a truly new battleship.
Of course, there are also very powerful military experts who can recognize that this is a new type of battleship with the characteristics of an F-class battleship.
In short, this post is full of pictures and texts, and there is even a 30-second shooting video. This was all obtained by Hughes from the dead soldiers.
Most importantly, he left behind a secret contact information of his own.
After posting the post and matching the pictures, Hughes also used a batch of high-end website accounts and software to batch-swipe some formal-looking replies, all of which were asking for quotations and indicating that he wanted to make a price.
Just 2 minutes after posting, Hughes' secret communication tool lit up.
A buyer came to my door.
"Are you a sales representative of the Chinese military?"
…[
"Haha, hello, we are the Dragon Pirates. We are very interested in warships like yours. Can we have an in-depth conversation..."
"You idiot, you actually dare to steal our company's battleship map. You are dead..."
…
Soon, the communication lighted up like a sea of people. Many people came to chat, watch the fun, and ask gossip. After a casual look, Hughes handed over the matter to the intelligent program and let it judge the useful information.
He was going to take a nap and get up to see if this method had any effect.
…
"You have to ensure the production of this batch of Tianlong battleships, otherwise our work of finding a second buyer will be affected. No matter how advanced the battleship is, it will be difficult for us to find a large buyer if it cannot form a cluster advantage.
.”
Zhang Shusheng gave Hatton a few words. If there was a problem with the 45 battleships in the middle of the year, it would not be enough to meet the sales target of 80 battleships.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we are working overtime now, and we are not short of money anyway. If we have the materials, at least the production of this year and the first half of next year will not be affected. If we go further, you will have to consider the issue of materials related to the warship."
Hatton said.
"Well, as long as we can sell battleships, we can buy materials. Compared with conspicuous battleships. Materials, even the most sensitive things, are just a matter of price."
After sending Hatun away, Zhang Shusheng began to study the information about the Hafu Empire again.
The Harv Empire has just suffered a huge defeat recently, and the emperor must be in a hurry to eat and sleep well. The sooner we contact him, the better we can get at a good price.
Just after watching it for a while, Zhang Bing came over in a hurry.
"Boss, we discovered an emergency."
Zhang Bing said with a smile.
"Tell me what's going on."
Zhang Bing tapped the neck of his little biological robot and pointed to the corner of the room. The projection device projected a virtual screen. Screenshots from the virtual network were displayed one after another. Then, he connected to the virtual network again.
This time it is displayed in real time.
""Urgent notice: Super battleship for sale at low price?"
After Zhang Shusheng read the post, he immediately captured the important information.
"Hey, someone is pretending to be us selling battleships?"
Zhang Shusheng couldn't help laughing. What is this liar doing? The only people in China who can freely connect to the virtual network are himself and Zhang Bing. As well as several wives, plus military and political leaders, Hatton and top scientists from the Science and Technology Committee can monitor Zhang Bing.
Next visit, there is no way this could be done by someone from my side.
The virtual network has just been opened to high-level personnel, and it was definitely not created by our own personnel.
"The other party actually left his contact information. Is this guy pretending to be us and trying to sell arms, or is he deliberately provoking trouble?"
Zhang Shusheng thought to himself, turned around and asked Zhang Bing, "Check this person's origins."
Zhang Bing was stunned for a moment, and then he got the result, "It's strange that the origin of this person can't be found temporarily. These accounts are all broiler accounts. It seems that this person is not an ordinary seller. There are two possibilities. He is a real arms dealer.
, or an intelligence officer.”
"Something interesting."
Zhang Shusheng then thought about it and came up with an idea, "Zhang Bing, please make a formal petition. As an imperial royal investigator, the content can be extracted directly from the virtual network. Then you will condemn his illegal behavior and say that he
If he pretends to be Chinese and sells arms, we will definitely hold him legally accountable and ask him to contact us candidly and confess his crimes."
When Zhang Bing heard this, he thought it was fun. He didn't need to go to the virtual Internet to copy a petition. It looked decent. He sent it directly according to the contact information left by the other party.
"Hello Mr.
A eloquent petition with tens of thousands of words was passed on. The message showed that the other party had received it but had not read it yet. Zhang Shusheng ignored it for the time being. Anyway, the other party had received such a special letter of condemnation and should have some response.
Chapter completed!
