The fact that he even had the idea of establishing a military factory shows that he was a visionary emperor.
Zhong Zhenguo thought for a moment, but did not answer the question immediately. Instead, he asked a question in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, I don't mean to discourage you, but if you establish a military factory without any foundation, it will be very difficult for you to produce advanced weapons and equipment in a short period of time."
"In my opinion, you'd be better off buying from other countries. Although it's more expensive, it's more convenient and you don't need to invest, so the risk is lower."
Qi Tongwei laughed and shook his head, interrupting Zhong Zhenguo.
"Elder Zhong, your concerns are very valid, but I didn't intend to use the newly established military factory to develop some simple weapons; they don't need to be too advanced."
He is certainly aware of his own limitations.
.. ..... ...
If a military factory could be established, it would be a significant step forward for the Han Empire at present.
Manufacturing advanced weapons is not an easy task.
When the Dragon Kingdom was founded, it worked diligently for decades to become the powerful Dragon Kingdom it is today.
He naturally wouldn't get bogged down in trivial details and insist on developing advanced weapons.
That's unrealistic!
"So this is ah."
After listening to Qi Tongwei's words, Zhong Zhenguo understood what the other party meant.
"Okay, I agree to this. However, to fully implement it, we need to go through a lot of complicated procedures, from preparation to construction, to talent training and weapon research. The whole process is a long one, and it probably won't be implemented in a short time because there are still many aspects to consider."
Qi Tongwei nodded slightly.
"No problem, as long as your country is willing to help, our Great Han Empire can afford to wait."
He understood, of course, that Zhong Zhenguo was not lying. After all, this was not simply about selling weapons, but about providing them with talent, and even more so, talent to research weapons.
To be honest, his request was a bit excessive, since such top-notch talent is extremely scarce for any country.
He had already prepared himself for rejection, but to his surprise, Zhong Zhenguo actually agreed.
It seems that their Great Han Empire still holds a very high position in the eyes of the Dragon Kingdom's high-ranking officials.
Qi Tongwei was very pleased with this.
Now that the empire is in its early stages, having a powerful ally like the Dragon Kingdom would be extremely beneficial to the development of the Han Empire.
After finalizing this matter, Zhong Zhenguo looked at Qi Qi and Liu Wei, and couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.
"Many people say that Emperor Qi is just an impulsive and reckless person, but after meeting you today, I realize that they are all wrong. Emperor Qi, you are not only very wise, but also have a unique vision and a big appetite."
"Some of the requests you just made are putting me in a difficult position."
However, although Zhong Zhenguo said that, he didn't blame Qi Tongwei at all.
On the contrary, the better Qi Tongwei performed, the more he appreciated him.
Because it means they didn't misjudge the person!
Both Qi Tongwei and the Great Han Empire are worthwhile investments and worth taking risks for.
Qi Tongwei laughed.
"Elder Zhong, since we are going to have in-depth exchanges and cooperation, we should naturally cooperate more thoroughly. Besides, when we purchase weapons from your country or invite technical personnel to help us, it is all for a fee. This is mutually beneficial and a win-win situation for both of us."
"Moreover, once our Great Han Empire's medical system is established, we will also give back to the Dragon Kingdom. It's a win-win situation for everyone, isn't it?"
Hearing these words, Zhong Zhenguo couldn't help but look at Qi Tongwei with new respect.
Qi Tongwei is clearly very young.
However, from what he said, one can see that his thinking is very mature and clear, neither humble nor arrogant, and quite like an emperor.
That is, their cooperation was mutually beneficial, since they gave up weapons and services and received profits and money, which can be considered an equivalent exchange.
Of course, besides profits, what he valued most was the future of the Han Empire and its terrifying medical technology.
Just thinking about how the Han Empire possessed the resources to cure incurable diseases made him feel that all their sacrifices were worthwhile.

After all, no matter how strong a military is, it can't cure a terminal illness!
"Your Majesty, we have just reached so many agreements on cooperation. Do you have any other needs?"
Zhong Zhenguo asked politely.
"Have."
Qi Tongwei nodded without hesitation and began to speak in a deep voice.
"When I first established the Great Han Empire, I envisioned a three-army system: land, sea, and air. But now, we only have an army, not an air force or navy. We are not in a great hurry for the navy, but we desperately need an air force."
9. "Therefore, I would like to purchase a batch of fighter jets from your country as the mainstay and foundation of our imperial air force."
④ Upon hearing this, Zhong Zhenguo was somewhat taken aback.
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, this was your previous request, and we have already agreed to it. Haven't we already sold you the J-series fighter jets?"
He was very clear that he personally oversaw and facilitated this matter.
④So he was a little curious as to why Qi Tongwei had brought up this question again today?
③Qi Tongwei gave Zhong Zhenguo a deep look and said quietly.
"Elder Zhong, you did sell us a batch of fighter jets before, but as far as I know, those fighter jets were not the most advanced. What I want to say is that we need a batch of your country's fourth-generation J-16 fighter jets."
linJ16!
5 hiss!
Upon hearing this, even Zhong Zhenguo couldn't help but secretly gasp.
Qi Tongwei's appetite is too big, isn't it?
Although the fighter jets they sold to the Great Han Empire were not the most advanced, they could be considered a luxury configuration in the context of Southeast Asia.
The scrap metal from Southeast Asian countries was incomparable to the warplanes they sold to the Great Han Empire.
But now, Qi Tongwei is still not satisfied and wants J-16 fighter jets!
The thought of this particular model of fighter jet suddenly put Zhong Zhenguo in a dilemma.
Qi Tongwei frowned slightly upon seeing this.
"Elder Zhong, what's wrong? Could it be that our request from the '287s' is causing you trouble?"
Zhong Zhenguo shook his head slightly and sighed.
"It's not that serious."
"We are not against selling fourth-generation fighters, but you may not know that some of the technologies in this series of fighters come from Russia. If we sell them directly to you, it would not be good if Russia found out."
Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei immediately smiled.
"Elder Zhong, you don't need to worry. We're not going to use these fighter jets to fight the Russian bear. As long as you don't say anything and we don't say anything, they won't know."
Uh!
Can you do this?
Zhong Zhenguo was somewhat taken aback.
However, he did not agree immediately, but instead temporarily avoided the topic.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask what your Great Han Empire's plans are going forward?"
Qi Tongwei smiled.
He didn't try to avoid suspicion, exuding a kingly aura, and said five words in a deep voice.
"Sweeping across Southeast Asia."
what?
Zhong Zhenguo's pupils suddenly contracted!
Sweep across Southeast Asia!
What a loud tone!
Qi Tongwei really does have a knack for making outrageous statements; I'm truly impressed by him.
A newly established country with a land area only a quarter the size of Myanmar, and an army of over 150,000, including 100,000 elite troops, would probably find it difficult to sweep across Southeast Asia with just these people.
Although he thought highly of Qi Tongwei, he didn't blindly trust him.
After all, Qi Tongwei wasn't talking about Myanmar, but the entire Southeast Asia; his tone was undeniably arrogant!
He gave Qi Tongwei a deep look and said in a low voice. (4)
"Your Majesty, I am very curious, what gives you such confidence and courage to say such things?"
"You should understand that unifying northern Myanmar and sweeping across Southeast Asia are two completely different concepts."
Qi Tongwei laughed heartily. 2
"Elder Zhong, since I dare to say this, it means our army has the capability."
"Although we currently only have an army, this army is extremely powerful. To put it bluntly, if our Great Han Empire's army were to fight the Dragon Kingdom's strongest army one-on-one, as long as you don't launch an air attack, we would absolutely win!"
A sure win!
Upon hearing those two words, Zhong Zhenguo's heart skipped a beat.
He could see it clearly: Qi Tongwei spoke without the slightest hesitation and with great confidence, as if he were simply stating a fact.
He felt a little complicated.
He knew that the Han Empire's army was powerful, but even their intelligence agencies couldn't give a clear answer as to just how powerful it was.
However, judging from what Qi Tongwei just said, the combat strength of the Han Empire's army is likely to be stronger than that of their Dragon Kingdom's elite army!
For some reason, he felt that what Qi Tongwei had just said was probably not a lie.
He began to value Qi Tongwei and the Great Han Empire even more.
"Your Majesty, if we sell you fourth-generation fighter jets, are you confident you can sweep across Southeast Asia?"
Zhong Zhenguo, recalling what Qi Tongwei had just said, asked in a deep voice.
He felt a faint sense of anticipation, as if he wanted to hear a positive answer.
"Yes."
Qi Tongwei did not disappoint Zhong Zhenguo and answered without hesitation.
"Our Great Han Empire is determined to sweep across Southeast Asia. The only thing we lack is air force strength. Our air force is too weak. Even with the previous fighter jets, they are basically useless."
"But with these fourth-generation fighters, I'm confident I can overturn Southeast Asia!"
Overturn Southeast Asia!
Hear this.
Zhong Zhenguo was in turmoil. Even someone of his stature was somewhat unsettled at this moment!
What is Qi Tongwei trying to do?
Does he intend to unify Southeast Asia?
Scary to think about!
At the same time, he was also very troubled by Qi Tongwei's words. His ambition was just too great!
He even regretted agreeing to sell weapons to Qi Tongwei.
Because if weapons manufactured by their Dragon Kingdom appear in large numbers on the battlefield, and the other side gets evidence of it, it would be a huge problem for them.
After all, judging from what Qi Tongwei just said, it was only a matter of time before he started a war.
Moreover, judging from his appearance, he probably intends to conquer not only Myanmar, but also other countries in Southeast Asia.
This guy is talented and ambitious, but he's definitely too belligerent!
He was even a little worried that, given Qi Tongwei's abilities and vision, one day the Great Han Empire might grow to a point where even their Dragon Kingdom couldn't suppress it.
If that day really comes, how will they cope?
