Chapter 2374 Science and Politics

In the hotel room.

After Igor Sakharov finished speaking, Pavel fell into a state of confusion.

This is real?

But why does it feel so unreal?

But he really didn't understand, and the words of those who did understand made him feel unreal.

What should he do?
Alyosha originally wanted to come in and listen to the final details of the transaction so that he could go back and report to his superiors.

But what I heard when I came in was completely different.

But when I heard about the other party's space-based weapons, my heart skipped a beat.

She was not a novice, and even knew the performance of some weapons better than Pavel.

So after hearing about this weapon, her first reaction was to believe it.

Even she herself didn't know where this judgment came from.

Then there were Mr. Chen and Chen Fang.

When the two heard what Sakharov said, they felt a little uneasy.

Is this true?

Is it really that amazing?

No, that's not right!

Fortunately, the two of them had already prepared themselves mentally, and after a collective discussion by everyone, they determined the composition of the weapon, otherwise Mr. Chen would be regretting it now!
However, after this regret was expressed, Pavel and Alyosha, who had been observing Mr. Chen, both breathed a sigh of relief.

If the other party regrets it, it means he is unwilling to accept it.

Who wouldn't want to hold such a powerful weapon in their hands?
If they hadn't brought the nuclear power plant research project this time, the other party might not have been willing to give it away.

made money!

Some research data from nuclear power plants can be exchanged for such a powerful weapon. It's really a good deal.

Cough
Pavel maintained a calm expression, "Chen, we need to discuss this matter in detail."

"You know, there are some things we can't decide."

After Pavel finished speaking, Mr. Chen nodded immediately, "You are right."

"However, this matter concerns an important strategic aspect of national development. The fact that we are able to bring this out has already proven our sincerity."

"I hope you take this into consideration. After all, we have already made a sacrifice by giving it to them."

Old Chen sighed, his expression showing helplessness.

Pavel saw this and laughed.

"Chen, don't worry, we are allies, we have a common goal, and if we unite, we will have the power to dominate the world."

Mr. Chen looked expectant, but he was complaining in his heart.

Damn, that's my words.

After Pavel finished speaking, Mr. Chen took a deep breath again, and then said solemnly, "Please give us an answer as soon as possible."

"Of course, this is not a requirement, but we just want to know the answer as soon as possible."

"Dear Chen, don't worry, we will give you a reply as soon as possible."

Pavel spoke eagerly, and Chen nodded, then prepared to leave.

When leaving, Chen Fang walked up to Igor Sakharov, smiled apologetically, and took the information back from him.

This move made Igor Sakharov feel helpless, as he had not yet studied it carefully.

But in the eyes of Pavel and Alyosha, this behavior is normal.

The same was true of the nuclear power plant data they had previously produced.

Everyone returned to their residences and began to discuss the matter.

In the room, Pavel paced back and forth with a serious look on his face.

If it is a Baiju fighter, he has the authority to make any decision.

But he was unsure about the current space-based weapons.

While Alyosha was still thinking, Pavel looked at Igor Sakharov who was still muttering to himself.

"Sakharov, tell me, is this possible?"

Sakharov opened his mouth and took a deep breath before saying, "According to the design principles given by the other party, I think there is no problem."

"You also know that they successfully launched the Dongfanghong-1, which means they have already started exploring space and even conducted relevant experimental research. I cannot guarantee the correctness of this."

"But what I can guarantee is that the other party's space-based weapons program will definitely have a follow-up. What we showed is probably only a part of it, or even a small part."

At this point, Igor Sakharov smoothed his hair back, then crossed his arms over his chest and said meaningfully, "As you know, our alliance is rapidly developing missiles, especially ballistic missiles, in order to counter the increasingly acute struggle."

"But the flight trajectory of this missile is traceable. As long as the trajectory is calculated, it can be intercepted in mid-air..."

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Let me ask you, knowing this idea, can you do it?"

Pavel spoke urgently.

Although this space-based weapon has not yet been made, they already know its theory and use. The only thing missing is how to do it.

As for how to do it, he believes that the experts in the league should be able to find the answer.

Sometimes, knowing where to research is the hardest part.

So, he now urgently wants to know if he can do it!

Hearing Pavel's question, Sakharov's expression froze, and he understood Pavel's plan.

This is the idea of ​​wanting to get something for free!

Then he even complained that this layman's thoughts were too outrageous.

Do you really think you can make it just by having an idea? He has a lot of ideas, and he even wants to make an anti-gravity weapon.

But what’s the use?

The gap between reality and ideal is bigger than the Pacific Ocean.

"I'm afraid not, sir!"

Sakharov's serious answer disappointed Pavel.

Then I heard Sakharov explain, "If the other side uses satellites as launch platforms, they must be able to maneuver satellites, communicate over long distances, and have a target lock system."

"Of course, this is just what I can think of. The other party must have a more mature plan."

“So, given the current situation of the alliance, if we start from scratch, it will take at least ten years to complete, or even longer.”

Sakharov once again expressed his own judgment.

In his opinion, since the other party came up with this project plan, it must have been well prepared.

Pavel was a little disappointed to hear Sakharov say this.

The alliance actually lags behind in this regard. I really didn’t expect it!
This kind of thing concerns the overall strategic situation. If we fall behind by one step, we will fall behind step by step!

Then he looked at Sakharov and said, "Prepare a report for me now. I want to give it to Susko!"

Things have developed to the point where he can no longer make the decision. If the space-based weapons that the other party is researching are real, then their alliance cannot fall behind.

Of course, it would be best if we could complete this space-based weapon first.

At that time, the United States will have to bow its head.

Sakharov took the order and left to prepare the report.

Pavel fell into deep thought, unable to make up his mind.

Alyosha on the side was also hesitant, wondering whether to inform Gozenvsky about this boy.

After Mr. Chen and Chen Fang returned to the office, they both breathed a sigh of relief!

Without outsiders around, the two of them stopped pretending and just found a place to sit.

But the two of them were still a little undecided.

After all, Sakharov is also an expert.

Is it so easy to fool?

Or is it that they are more skilled and see value that they have not seen?
The two were suspicious, with many thoughts in their minds.

Finally, the two looked at each other, and Old Chen spoke first, "Do you think we should confirm this matter again?"

Chen Fang remained silent after hearing this. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Commander, I think it's better to forget it. At this point, what's the point in confirming it?"

Elder Chen sighed when he heard this, "You're right, there's no point in thinking too much!"

Chen Fang continued, "What we have to do now is to use this theory, which is not sure whether it is true or not, to obtain the other party's nuclear power plant technology!"

"To be honest, Commander, I feel a little worried now!"

"The other party is not a fool. If you want them to believe you, you have to show some real evidence!"

"But where can we find real evidence?"

Chen Fang was speechless. This topic was originally proposed to fool people, just like what the alliance came up with.

When the time comes, after both sides have a conversation, the black bird and white horse issue will be fooled. No one should treat the other as a fool!

But who would have thought that the other party would not play by the rules and would use a big move right from the start, the kind that they couldn't refuse. What could they do?
And he even specifically asked for Baiju in exchange. Damn it, what a rich man!
After listening to this, Mr. Chen nodded silently. He knew what Chen Fang said.

But now the arrow is on the string and we have to shoot!

Besides, there is no turning back once you start talking. You have already taken out the things, so you have to see it through to the end!
Of course, not only Mr. Chen, but many people have a little idea in their minds, which is to get the biggest profit with the smallest cost.

If it works, it will be a huge profit, and you can even cheat the other party.

As for being discovered in the end, there’s nothing much to say. Didn’t you see that we were doing research on it ourselves?
It's just that the research direction is wrong, that's all.

If it doesn’t work, that doesn’t matter. It was just used to fool people. It’s a pity that the information of the nuclear power plant is gone!
"We have to do this step by step. Whoever is anxious will be at a disadvantage!"

"But what you said makes sense. We have to make some preparations!"

After Mr. Chen finished speaking, Chen Fang nodded.

Then, the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly again.

How to prepare?

Is it possible to really launch a satellite?

Or prepare a tungsten rod?
The two of them sat on the chairs helplessly. After a long while, Old Chen cursed, "Damn it, one lie followed by a bunch of lies, it feels harder than using real guns and real bullets!"

……

Four Nine Cities.

When Mr. Chen brought the news back over the phone, the thin old man thought for a moment and then came to the Great Hall with the documents.

In the warm room, there are two rows of bookshelves on the left and right. On the desk in the middle, in addition to office supplies, there is a pile of books, and then boxes of cigarettes!

In front of the desk, a tall old man was holding a cigarette in his hand, and two old men were sitting on him.

When the thin old man came in, President Peng followed behind him.

The two men entered the room and sat down, nodded to the three people, and then the thin old man told them about what happened in Shengjing.

At first, there was no need to alarm the people here.

But the price the other party offers for a nuclear power plant is worthy of attention.

This is an important part of national development.

Today, domestic development is heavily dependent on electricity. Without sufficient electricity, there will be no development.

So, when they heard the news from Shengjing, they rushed over as soon as possible.

"That's the situation. We've already cast the bait."

"Looking at the current situation, there should be no problem with this first step."

"but!"

The thin old man showed a wry smile on his face, and everyone guessed what had happened.

"But the other party won't believe it so easily!"

"So, we need to make some preparations here!"

"Prepare? How?"

The white-haired old man on the left smiled bitterly and said that he had found this incident unbelievable at the time.

Especially since we haven’t dealt with the satellite issue yet and we’re already thinking about a space war, no, a planetary war?
This is too much of a worry!

"this…"

"It's a bit difficult!"

Mr. Peng said quietly from the side.

"If you want to deceive others, you must deceive yourself first!"

The old man in the middle position lit a cigarette, and his voice was sonorous and powerful amid the curling smoke.

"Besides, we don't need to do too well!"

"As long as we can let them see that we are doing research!"

The old man finished speaking, his eyes sparkling with wisdom.

The people around were still thinking and did not follow the old man's train of thought.

After a moment, the gray-haired old man suddenly thought of something and laughed.

Then the thin old man also laughed.

After the meeting was over, Mr. Peng followed the thin old man and left.

Along the way, Mr. Peng was confused, but he still asked a question before getting on the car.

The thin old man smiled and explained, "From a scientific point of view, we need to see whether it is right or wrong."

"But from a political perspective, it's either yes or no!"

After saying that, the thin old man got in the car and left. Mr. Peng stood there and suddenly realized, "Is this what it means to believe it is better to believe it than not to believe it?"

Then he got into the car with a smile, "It seems that this time, the alliance is going to fall into a pit!"
