Chapter 226 Destruction is justice

The news that the THAAD system was breached was not reported on a large scale, but it is obvious that this kind of vital information will not be missed by those capitals at the top.

As a result, a shocking news began to circulate on Wall Street:

The THAAD system originally planned to be deployed in the island country was breached.

The one that broke through it was the already famous DF-17.

It is said that in the face of DF-17's attack, THAAD's interception success rate does not exceed 10%.

This means that this missile defense system, which we were originally proud of, has almost lost its meaning.

And what signal does such a failure send to the capital market?

No one dares to say it, but everyone knows it.

In the island country, in the same tavern, the same two people, the same two glasses of sake.

Lin Zecheng sat opposite Taro Nakayama, with a relaxed expression and casual movements.

He first drank the sake in the cup in one gulp, and then said:

"So, we have long said that whether it is our own THAAD system or the THAAD system sold to you by the Americans, it will not actually cause any change in the so-called 'power' comparison."

"What we care about is just how much this system is worth and whether we can successfully sell it to you."

"This is a business, right?"

Taro Nakayama smiled in agreement and replied:

"Indeed, this is just a simple business."

"There has been no positive reply to Lin Sang's proposal before. The main consideration is our own economic strength and technical strength. There is absolutely no disrespect intended."

"I hope Lin Sang can understand this."

"Understand, understand."

Lin Zecheng nodded without saying anything.

In fact, from Taro Nakayama's attitude during a meeting, he had basically guessed what these islanders were thinking.

It’s just that they feel that the great Eastern countries are now in the spotlight and can gain greater benefits by relying on us.

But on the other hand, they are worried that cooperation in such a key area may lead to the breakdown of their own relations with the United States, so they plan to wait for a while and continue to bet on both ends to obtain the best solution.

However, they want time, but Americans are not prepared to give them time.

The entire U.S. economy has reached a precarious level. If the news from our own side is allowed to ferment at this time, and the expectation that "U.S. military exports have suffered a heavy blow" is allowed to solidify, it will be too late to save it.

So, they have to be fast.

They must take countermeasures in the shortest possible time and expose China's lies with a thunderous gesture.

Therefore, a "THAAD interception experiment" became the best publicity window.

In particular, they already have plans to deploy THAAD in island countries, and the radar in Aomori Prefecture is also ready.

Driven by a series of seemingly mature conditions, they hastily launched this experiment.

——

China, on the other hand, keenly seized this opportunity.

Aren’t you going to take the THAAD test?

Just in time, by the way, help us test our missiles.

Let’s see which one has the stronger defense capability of your THAAD, or the stronger penetration capability of my DF-17.

The answer is obvious.

If it were in actual combat, the THAAD base deployed in Aomori Prefecture would have been penetrated by DF-17.

Seeing that Lin Zecheng's tone was perfunctory, Nakayama Taro quickly lowered his posture further.

He held the wine bottle in one hand and took Lin Zecheng's cup with the other. After filling him with a full cup of sake, he continued to ask:

"So, you are indeed planning to sell China-made THAAD system to us this time?"

"Of course, if it's a joke, why do we spend so much time on you?"

Lin Zecheng's tone was a little impatient.

Although the position of the person opposite is not low, now that I am the representative of the entire country, there is really no need to act neither humble nor arrogant in front of the other person.

In the exchanges between the two countries, there are inherently differences in status. If you insist on making a friendly gesture, it will be easy for the other party to look down upon you.

Sure enough, after hearing Lin Zecheng's words, instead of being dissatisfied, Taro Nakayama quickly lowered his head and said:

"I thought wrong, sorry!"

"However, since it is a cooperation, can I know some details of the cooperation from Lin Sang in advance?"

"For example, if we want to buy this THAAD system, what is the approximate price? When is it expected to be delivered? After delivery, do we have independent management rights?"

"Do we need to obtain this system at the expense of information exchange?"

"You wait first!"

Lin Zecheng raised his hand to interrupt the other party's words, and then said seriously:

"Mr. Zhongshan, I'm not here to discuss specific cooperation plans with you. All I need to do is confirm your intention to cooperate."

"As for the cooperation plan, we will slowly start talking about it after the intention is confirmed."

"Yes, these issues you mentioned must be solved one by one, but it will inevitably require a long discussion. Do you expect to get the answers from me?"

"I can only give you some simple answers now."

"For example, this system is not cheap, and it will definitely not be cheaper than the system sold to you by the Americans."

"Its delivery time will not be too early, at least three years later."

"In addition, we do not need and do not intend to cooperate with you on military information. There is no need."

Upon hearing Lin Zecheng's answer, Nakayama Taro said "Hi" and sat up straight at the same time.

After adjusting his facial expression, he said:

"Lin Sang's answer has solved most of my confusion, thank you very much!"

"In this case, I think I can give a preliminary answer to Lin Sang's cooperation proposal."

"In the future, please give me your advice!"

Lin Zecheng had a satisfied smile on his face, but out of caution, he still asked:

"you sure?"

An imperceptible bitterness flashed across Taro Nakayama's face.

Am I sure? What kind of problem is this?!

Can I be unsure?

We just accepted dad's "assistance" and got a set of AN/TPY-2 radar from them.

As a result, on the first day of the radar startup test, you actually dropped the missile on our heads!

In this case, do we dare to be uncertain?

If I refuse to buy your THAAD system and buy my father's instead, will you really dare to install the missile on the warhead next time and then send the system we just installed back to the manufacturer for repair?

You must be thinking so!

Where did you buy the THAAD system?

This is the protection fee paid!——

However, there is one benefit to protection fees.

That is, after handing it in, it's really not that easy to get beaten.

Thinking of this, Taro Nakayama straightened the smile on his face and then said:

"Hi! Lin Sang! I'm sure!"

On the other side, in a small office on Wall Street.

John Paulson is making final preparations for his unprecedented investment spree.

He mobilized all his funds and selected the riskiest CDS products to continue selling short. In order to implement this idea, he even sold his only house and rented it in a nearby apartment.

In the eyes of others, he is already a complete madman.

However, only he himself knows whether it is him or the world that is crazy.

this is too scary.
