"20 billion universe coins!!"

Even though Hu Kun had very high expectations, he almost lost his breath when he heard Zhang Shusheng speak.

20 billion cosmic coins were exchanged for 400 coalition battleships and 1 million Longshan prisoners of war. Hu Kun did a simple calculation. If those prisoners were not included, the price of a battleship should be 50 million cosmic coins.

"My God, are the Chinese crazy? Although Zhang Shusheng has always loved money, why is he so crazy?"

Hu Kun thought to himself, and the waves were rising. When he saw Zhang Shusheng's understatement of 20 billion cosmic coins, he couldn't even put forward many of the prepared remarks.

The Chinese indeed offered a sky-high price.

20 billion cosmic coins, this amount of money is also a huge amount of money for the alliance, and it cannot be achieved without the approval of the three giants.

To put it simply, 20 billion cosmic coins can almost form two super fleets, including the battleships themselves, as well as all other standard combat configurations and supplies.

In the national war with the Lancs, the Orions also invested a lot and formed three super fleets in one go, bringing the number of Orions' super fleets to 6.[

As president, Hu Kun was also a military maniac. He formed an iron-blooded three-man team with two other giants, the Speaker and the Commander-in-Chief of the Military Department, to massively expand the army.

It has to be said that those who can become second-level civilizations are all upstarts. Except for second-level civilizations like the Hafu Empire that are not enterprising, have weak national power, and have greater symbolic significance than actual significance, the Orion Alliance and the Principality of Rank are the real ones.

Second level civilization.

The wealth accumulated by 11 administrative planets and dozens of resource planets over thousands of years, especially the fact that the country was founded on commerce like the Nok Merchant Alliance, have become the strongest force supporting this battlefield.

Six super fleets seem like a lot, but according to Hu Kun's estimation, the alliance needs to build at least four super fleets to maintain the scale of ten fleets. Only in this way can it win the war with Rank.

Currently, the Orion Alliance has entered a stage of national preparation for war. The next stage is the highest form during the war, and the implementation of the Alliance Emergency Act.

Although 20 billion cosmic coins are not impossible for the alliance, if they are only used to satisfy the appetite of the Chinese people, Hu Kun will have no confidence in convincing the two giants.

Zhang Shusheng was not in a hurry. Since he had offered a high price, he was still confident that he could convince Hu Kun. He was not used to asking for high prices and paying back the money on the spot. He simply offered a price that he thought was appropriate and negotiated if it was possible.

Just come there and forget it.

He deeply understood the truth that friendship between countries cannot be fixed by feelings, but should be measured by interests, or even direct cosmic coins. Only in this way can the Burning Moscow have the most standard.

The reason for setting a high price this time is mainly because of the availability of rare goods. In ancient China, there was a saying that if there is a drought, there will be boats, and if there is water, there will be cars. As long as you are discerning enough and choose the right time, and there is a buyer for your goods, you will be the real winner.

.

"Mr. President, I think you may be calculating that a battleship costs 50 million cosmic coins. I don't know if I am right.

In fact, this kind of pricing is completely meaningless.

It's very simple. If your country pays 20 billion cosmic coins, the Longshan Empire will send you 400 battleships in the name of admitting defeat. Even if they are dilapidated ones that are almost unnavigable, is this feasible?"

Zhang Shusheng laughed and then said: "This is just a simple metaphor. The price of the same thing at different times and on different occasions is completely different.

In the hands of the Longshan people, these tattered battleships are just junk, but here, on the battlefield of the Lost Star Territory, what are these 400 battleships?

It is first of all a witness to the defeat of the coalition forces, and it has the value of a trophy attached to it.[

For this alone, we assume that a brand-new G-type battleship, if fully equipped, costs 5 million cosmic coins. Then, multiply the price of a trophy by 2 and it becomes 10 million cosmic coins. Isn’t that excessive?

So, if it is a battleship, it is definitely not worth the price. However, considering the swarm effect, your army captured 400 ships, and the value will be multiplied by 2, reaching 20 million cosmic coins, right?

Capturing 400 battleships of the coalition forces, such a great victory, I am afraid your country cannot achieve it even by dispatching three super fleets."

When Hu Kun heard this, he realized that Shusheng was still talking some nonsense. However, it sounded wrong at first glance, but it still made some sense when he thought about it carefully. According to this calculation, 20 million prisoner-of-war warships are indeed not too much.

Zhang Shusheng smiled again and said: "Perhaps Mr. President thinks that even this price is far from 50 million. There is no rush. Let's calculate it slowly first.

First of all, if your country has this batch of trophies and captives that are undeniable witnesses, then you can announce to the entire Lost Star Territory, and even the Southwest Star Territory, that you have won a great victory.

The advantage of this is that you and the other two giants will gain huge political assets, and re-election will become inevitable.

Of course, based on our friendship, I will not convert this into cosmic currency. To help Mr. President be re-elected, just treat it as my personal sponsorship. It does not count money and hurts feelings."

"Your Majesty is very quick to speak. I lost my temper just now. Your Majesty continues."

Hu Kun smiled and said, he really wanted to hear how Zhang Shusheng calculated this crazy account.

Zhang Shusheng took a sip of tea and continued: "Just now we talked about the small trends, which are related to the domestic situation, people's hearts and personal interests. Now, let's talk about the big trends.

The southwest star region of the Milky Way is currently at a critical moment of reshuffle, and the war between the Silver Moon Empire and the Guluo Federation can be avoided. This is also the fuse of all conflicts in the southwest star region."

Hu Kun nodded. The southwest star region of the Milky Way has always been one of the most backward areas in the Milky Way due to some unknown reasons in ancient times. Now the two third-level civilizations finally see the hope of advancing to the fourth-level civilization, but the headquarters of the Pan-Human Alliance

Actually, only one place was given.

This will cost lives, and war between the two countries is inevitable.

In fact, even if there is no promotion to the fourth-level civilization, the Southwest Star Region, which has been peaceful for thousands of years, has already accumulated enough conflicts, which can be ignited at any time. The old and new forces are reshuffled, and the internal forces of the two countries also hope to re-establish themselves through war.

Under various disputes over the division of interests, a war broke out that swept through many civilizations.

It can be said that this war will be a large-scale war. However, it is different from a racial war. It is basically a military showdown. It will not massacre human beings, nor will it use destructive weapons.

Zhang Shusheng: "The duel between two major forces is by no means a duel between two countries. Other countries will also choose sides. If we take the Lost Star Territory as an example, Nok, Orion and some other countries chose the Guluo Federation.

line-up.

Countries such as Longshan Empire and Ranke chose the Silver Moon Empire.

However, we have seen that neither the Silver Moon Empire nor the Guluo Federation has provided complete private assistance to Longshan or Nok."

The situation in the Southwest Star Territory is rather strange. It happens to be a duel between two major types of systems. On the one hand, it is a coincidence, and on the other hand, it is also the result of two third-level civilizations secretly supporting and robbing various forces for thousands of years.

"good!"

Hu Kun also agreed with this point. Whether it is the Silver Moon Empire or the Guluo Federation, their power is far more powerful than Longshan and Nok, but they have not provided complete and large-scale assistance. The two countries' assistance to both parties is almost the same.

. Mainly depends on the fight between the two countries.

The Orion Alliance has also analyzed the reason and believes that the two countries are not confident about giants like Longshan and Nok.

Zhang Shusheng: "Actually, the reason is very simple. If two third-level civilizations want to go to war, if they heavily support the top second-level civilization below, a strange result is likely to occur. The two third-level civilizations will both suffer losses, and a certain second-level civilization below will suffer.

However, civilization stood out, and in the end there was an additional great country.

This happens often in the Milky Way, and I think Mr. President should agree with it."

Hu Kun nodded, it is indeed like this, the civilization blockade of low-level civilization by high-level civilization. Technical barriers and trade barriers are all created in this way.

"However, something is different now. The Silver Moon Empire and the Guluo Federation must differentiate themselves, which means one country will definitely fail.

In this way, both sides will long for the emergence of a country that is powerful but cannot threaten Level 3 civilization.

Perhaps, the two countries will wait for countries like Longshan and Nok to compete, and then consolidate their forces in one fell swoop to help one of the two countries win.

However, I think this is a great opportunity for the Orion Alliance."

Only then did Zhang Shusheng express his true thoughts deep in his heart.

Hu Kun was suddenly startled, and then his eyes lit up. He, he already knew what Zhang Shusheng was going to say!!

Sure enough, Zhang Shusheng continued: "Although there are many countries in the southwest star region of the Milky Way, except for the two third-level civilizations, the second-level civilizations below are not very strong. It just so happens that Longshan and Nok are the two strongest countries.

If I were the Kuluo Federation, then the best way would be to let these two countries, which are so powerful that they may advance to the third level civilization at any time, fight to the death, and then support a powerful second level civilization.

Obviously, the Orion Alliance has such qualifications."

Hu Kun said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please continue talking."

Zhang Shusheng said: "Ranke is actually a good choice, but unfortunately, Ranke is located in Longshan, Nok, Orion, and the Lost Star Territory, and its development has been greatly restricted.

In contrast, Orion has unique conditions.

First of all, you are only a month's warship ride away from the border of the Guluo Federation. If you activate the jump gate, you can reach it directly.

Secondly, if we assume that such an Orion alliance is placed in front of the giants of the Kuluo Federation, what will it look like?"

So he began to describe: "A country that has been in existence for less than a thousand years but has been experiencing wars and has never compromised.

A country that attaches great importance to human rights, people's livelihood and commerce, fights bloody battles with Rank, and can even win successive victories.

A country that has made mysterious allies, and more importantly, it and its allies are afraid of countries like Longshan and Ranke, can also achieve a shocking victory.

A country that is much weaker than Longshan and Nok, but has good development potential, has an iron-blooded president, has an enlightened domestic politics, strong cohesion, a wealthy country, a strong military, and is full of yearning for the Kuluo Federation.

Mr. President, if a country like this, when faced with Longshan and Ranke, finally turns defeat into victory with a very inferior force, captures millions of Longshan soldiers, and is not afraid of the anger of the Longshan people, I think that after your country

With proper operation, when all this information is handed over to the desk of the Guluo federal government, it will not be difficult for Orion to get the third ticket to a powerful nation in the Southwest Star Region.

The most critical thing now is to take advantage of this war to increase the value of the Orion Alliance."

After hearing this, Hu Kun suddenly realized!

Yes, Zhang Shusheng is not using 20 billion to sell hundreds of battleships and millions of prisoners, but to sell the Orion Alliance an opportunity to become one of the strongest countries under the third-level civilization of the Southwest Star Region.

This moment is too poisonous. If it had been earlier, before the war started, the Guluo Federation would have ignored the Orion Alliance's overtures.

But now, a full-scale war breaks out between Longshan and Nok, and all countries are fighting together. The Silver Moon Empire and the Guluo Federation themselves have gathered heavy troops on the border, waiting for the war to begin.

Under such a situation, a strong Orion Alliance is the ideal support target of the Kuluo Federation.

Want money? Give it! For a third-level civilization, money is already a number. As long as there is a strategic advantage, no matter how much money you have, it is worth it.

Battleship? Here! Let alone the battleship for the third-level civilization, if we really want to support you, it’s not a problem to directly give you a complete set of equipment for the battleship factory.

Think about it, once it becomes the next most important support target of the Kuluo Federation, then a steady stream of war aid will come pouring in.

Hu Kun couldn't help but think deeply. According to Zhang Shusheng's analysis, now was the best time to show his muscles, determination and courage to the Guluo Federation.

This moment is too early, too late, but now is the best moment.

Zhang Shusheng saw Hu Kun's thoughtful look, but he thought in his heart, it depends on how you choose this time.

If the empire wants to usher in at least a hundred years of peaceful development, this step is crucial.

Only by allowing the Orion Alliance to fully grow and form the Three Kingdoms, can the empire deal with the Three Kingdoms with a detached attitude, do business, and make a fortune silently.

Individually speaking, the Longshan people are unreliable, the Nok people are unreliable, and even the Orion Alliance is unreliable. But as long as these three countries form mutual checks, then no one can be relied on, and everyone will try to win over the empire.

Now is the most critical moment, otherwise Zhang Shusheng would never have made up his mind to show his sword at this time.

In addition to displaying the empire's muscles to the maximum extent and intimidating neighboring countries, the Empire's Bright Sword also helps the Orion Alliance and, of course, kills it.

The price of 20 billion is indeed very high, but if the Orions follow what they said and present it as a tribute to the Kuluo Federation, with the cooperation of many parties, it is a sure thing that it will become the only key support target of the Kuluo Federation.

For this reason, Zhang Shusheng even did not hesitate to let the empire act as a die-hard ally of the Orions. Of course, this ally would only make a fortune in the Lost Star Territory, and would not rashly make friends with the Guluo Federation and take risks from above.
