Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

General Liu still frowned and said in a deep voice: "Since you rejected the ideas of various countries, why did you notify the country and hold a high-level meeting just to inform everyone about this matter?"

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, you are a member of the organization. The organization requires you to tell the truth. Is there anything else behind this incident?"

The hearts of the people, which had just been put at ease, were lifted up again, and they stared at Jiang Linkaifeng without blinking.

Lin Kaifeng said: "Report to the old general, the desert countries need a stable development environment. We need to obtain more foreign exchange funds and more external space for activities. Nuclear submarines, mushroom bombs and other weapons of mass destruction cannot be sold, but ballistic missiles and a special weapon may not be impossible to sell."

Taking this topic as an example, Lin Kaifeng talked about a special high-explosive bomb that the United States had used in war.

Once the high-explosive bomb explodes, no grass will grow within a radius of 500 meters.

Explosions can not only cause damage to the environment, but also cause fatal injuries to people within the explosion range.

The explosion also creates mushroom-shaped clouds.

Lin Kaifeng said: "I call this bomb a cloud-burst bomb because once it explodes, it will also produce a mushroom cloud. Its power is not as strong as a real mushroom bomb, but it still has a certain degree of mass destruction capability."

Before returning, Lin Kaifeng had already persuaded Chief Mustafa.

Chief Mustafa conveyed the special power of fuel-air explosives to representatives from various countries.

If desert countries want to obtain fuel-air explosive bombs, they need to pay a research and development deposit in advance.

A ballistic missile carrying mushroom bombs can be called a weapon of mass destruction.

If carrying conventional warheads, the deterrent effect of ballistic missiles will be greatly reduced.

In order to control ballistic missile technology, the United States and the Soviet Union came together again and formulated relevant agreements to limit the spread of this technology.

The agreement limits the number of countries that possess ballistic missiles to five, and prohibits them from being exported to other countries without authorization.

All four major countries signed the agreement, except Dragon Country, which never signed.

Without a signature, it does not mean that Dragon Country has the right to sell ballistic missiles to any country.

The prerequisite is that the other party can come up with enough money.

After these words, even General Liu, who was knowledgeable and experienced, was still shocked beyond words by Lin Kaifeng.

Lin Kaifeng said frankly: "Old General, I can feel that the desert countries are really anxious. Without a hard stick, anyone can interfere with their oil interests, including the United States, the Soviet Union, and the surrounding bad neighbors."

"I don't agree to sell this thing."

A leader said, "Comrade Lin Kaifeng, no matter how correct you are, there is one thing you cannot avoid: the two superpowers will never allow us to sell ballistic missiles to the desert."

"If they strongly oppose it, the development situation that our country has achieved with great difficulty may be reversed."

Another participant chimed in: “The country does need a lot of money for construction and to improve people’s living standards, but some money can be taken and some money absolutely cannot be touched.”

"Once we are accused by the United States of undermining world peace, will any country still want to do business with us or have any dealings with us?"

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, let me give you an analogy, just an analogy. If we agree to export ballistic missiles to them, how much money are they willing to pay? Specifically, how much are they willing to pay for a ballistic missile?"

Deputy Minister Huang was also shocked.

While he was shocked, he thought of another thing.

Lin Kaifeng never fights an unprepared battle, and it is even more impossible for him not to consider the series of impacts brought about by these things.

In that case, why not change direction?

Find out in advance how much money the desert countries are willing to spend to purchase missiles.

Lin Kaifeng raised two fingers and said, "I can't guarantee more, but I can guarantee that one missile can be sold for 200 million US dollars."

"Cough cough cough!!!"

Yao Tiezhu, the deputy minister of the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building who was in charge of missile work, picked up the tea in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

Due to the relationship of seconded experts, the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building and the Northern Machinery Group had many close contacts.

A large number of satellite technology experts work in the Northern Machinery Group to research Longguo's own satellite navigation technology.

The next moment, Yao Tiezhu said excitedly: "Comrade Lin Kaifeng, please repeat what you just said. How much can a ballistic missile be sold for?"

"Two hundred million dollars."

Lin Kaifeng repeated.

"Deputy Minister Yao, please don't think the price is too outrageous. We are just trying to get closer to the Desert World. We won't treat this deal as a one-time deal. If it were the United States or the Soviet Union, we would at least charge them 300 million per piece."

"Among the five major countries, only the United States, the Soviet Union, Gaul, and Britain have advanced ballistic missile technology. Our technology is completely incomparable to ours. Each of these three countries is more evil than the other."

"Putting aside strategic interests, even if these countries want to sell, 300 million is just the beginning. They will also put forward a lot of additional conditions, such as most-favored-nation treatment, perhaps a large amount of oil resources, or leasing land for them to build military bases. In any case, behind a ballistic missile, there will definitely be a lot of additional conditions, and these additional conditions are more stringent than the other."

"When we do business, we always keep things simple. Business is business, and we don't attach any conditions beyond the transaction."

Lin Kaifeng's words touched everyone's heart.

Why are Persia and Lak willing to buy weapons from Longguo? Is it just because Longguo's weapons are cheap?

No, no.

Many things cannot be judged superficially.

Longguo sells weapons, and only sells weapons. Money is exchanged for goods, and both parties owe each other nothing.

If it comes to the Soviet Union and the United States, the additional requirements behind exporting weapons are countless.

Lin Kaifeng said: "Not long ago, we signed a series of cooperation agreements with Dicheng and Gou Dahu. In the future, a large number of our Dragon Country's enterprises, factories, and workers will appear in the desert area."

"If there is unrest in the desert every day, today you attack me, tomorrow I attack you, it will not only seriously interfere with our external development, but also pose a direct threat to Dragon Country's enterprises and workers."

More than 1,000 overseas staff members of Northern Machinery Group have arrived in Dicheng and started work, completing the construction of the motorcycle factory and will continue the construction of other facilities.

Help Dicheng build a solar power station and supporting production and maintenance units.

Today, Longguo took a step forward, and tomorrow, Longguo will accelerate its progress at an astonishing speed.

In the 1950s and 1960s, Longguo sent countless aid workers to the Heizhou region.

Help third world countries with construction and improve local infrastructure.

In terms of overseas construction, Longguo has advantages that other countries do not have.

Better than the two superpowers, China knows how to respect local customs and practices.
