"Mr. Liu, you are too kind. This is what I should do."

Hearing this, Fang Yu quickly spoke humbly.

"Besides, I am at least a member of our Dragon Nation Army, and a senior colonel at that!"

"If you continue to be so polite, you really don't treat me as your own..."

"Look at me, I was so happy that I forgot about this..."

Hearing this, Liu Yadong patted his forehead and said with a smile.

"I spoke out of turn, brother... I deserve to be punished!"

"I heard Lao Chen say that the food in the cafeteria at the Great Wall Military Factory is amazing."

"Why don't I treat you guys to a good meal tonight?"

"When the time comes, I will definitely drink three cups as punishment..."

"Tsk, three cups? Are you feeding the birds? No matter what, you should punish yourself with ten cups!"

Hearing this, General Chen sneered.

"You studied abroad with the Russian bear Frunze for so long, you've already developed a good alcohol tolerance. You only drank three cups. Are you kidding us..."

However, after General Chen finished speaking with a smile, he immediately turned around and looked at Fang Yu and asked.

"Don't be busy before eating."

"Fang Yu, I have something to ask you..."

"We've all seen the Backfire bomber and bombs you designed. They're truly astonishingly powerful."

"However, what I am most concerned about now is the output."

"When will these aircraft and bombs be ready for mass production? How many can be produced per month?"

"The production line for the Backfire bomber is too expensive, so it cannot be mass-produced in multiple workshops like other fighter jets."

"So, assembling one in three months is already the limit."

Hearing this, Fang Yu was silent for a moment and said.

"However, given our current conditions, one aircraft every six months should be the most appropriate production speed."

The Backfire bomber is cheap when compared with the top bombers such as B2, B1b and Tu-160.

Even with the strong national strength of the Soviet Union at that time, only 497 aircraft were produced.

The cost of a single aircraft reached $90 million in the 4s.

Although this is the price after several rounds of inflation, even if converted into today's US dollars, it would cost at least 4000 to 6000 million US dollars to build one.

However, although the Longguo Air Force Department has a big name.

However, the annual military budget allocated is only $3-4 million.

If all your money is invested in making the Backfire bomber, will you still make the JF-17 fighter jet?

Not to mention, other aircraft used by the military...

There are too many wolves and too little meat, there is simply not enough to go around.

Upon learning the answer, Liu Yadong frowned, but after a moment, he could only sigh silently.

Although the Dragon Kingdom is no longer as impoverished as it was when it was first founded.

However, there are countless places across the country where money is needed to develop production and build infrastructure.

It's already good to have $3 to $4 million in military spending, and I can't ask for more...

"However, compared to bombers, it costs much less to build aerial bombs."

"Take those bombs just now for example. Each one costs around $10."

"As long as we open a few more production lines, we can still guarantee a monthly production of 200 pieces..."

"10... Wait, how much does one of these bombs cost?"

Hearing Fang Yu's words.

In an instant, General Chen and Liu Yadong both raised their heads and saw astonishment in each other's eyes.

No, $10 for one bomb?!

Is your bomb made of gold or silver?

So expensive?!

You know, even the Type 59 tank that is invincible on the battlefield only costs 50 US dollars per unit!

Five disposable bombs can be exchanged for a Type 59 tank...

This bomb is powerful, but the price is a bit too high...

"Um... Fang Yu, it's not that I'm stingy..."

After a moment, Liu Yadong said with a wry smile.

"But, $10 for one bomb, isn't that a bit exaggerated?"

"Couldn't it be a little cheaper?"

"You know, our Dragon Country Air Force... is poor..."

Hearing Liu Yadong's words, Fang Yu sighed.

"Mr. Liu, I know our Air Force budget is limited, so I'll give you the mass production price for this $10."

"If calculated individually, the cost of this bomb would probably be over $15 per piece."

"Everything else is fine, but I really can't lower the price any further..."

After hearing Fang Yu's words, Liu Yadong wanted to say something.

However, he was immediately interrupted by Fang Yu's next words.

"However, although the price of this bomb is a bit high, you get what you pay for. Mr. Liu should know that."

"It is true that the price of five aerial bombs can buy a Type 59 tank."

"But the destructive power and lethality of five aerial bombs could not be matched by ten Type 59 tanks, right?"

"Besides, when you look at something, you can't just look at its surface, right?"

"The bomb I designed, besides being powerful, has an advantage that no one else has even considered."

"I think if you see this advantage with your own eyes, you won't think this bomb is expensive anymore..."

"Advantages? What advantages are worth 10?"

Hearing this, General Chen frowned and asked in surprise.

"You kid, you're not fooling us again, are you?"

"Look at what you said. Don't you know what kind of person I, Fang Yu, am?"

"I always stick to my words..."

Hearing General Chen's doubt, Fang Yu patted his chest and assured him.

"That's right... Fine, Lao Liu and I will listen to you live your life in vain..."

Hearing this, General Chen nodded.

"Well, what advantages can be so valuable?"

"This...I'm afraid it's hard to explain."

"I think it would be better for you two to see this kind of thing with your own eyes."

Hearing this, Fang Yu did not start to explain incessantly, but spoke lightly.

"Look? Where are you looking? Didn't those bombs you developed explode in the experiment just now..."

"Wait... Is this what you want us to see?"

General Chen raised his eyebrows and said.

"Or maybe Mr. Chen is Mr. Chen, he sees everything clearly!"

Hearing this, Fang Yu nodded and said with a smile.

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for General Chen and Liu Yadong to say anything.

He clapped his hands and said to Wang Changhai who was standing beside him.

"Brother Wang, prepare a car for me. Let's take the two leaders to inspect the test site!"

"okay!"

It seemed like they had already made arrangements.

After hearing Fang Yu's order, Wang Changhai agreed without even stuttering.

Not long after, he drove a jeep made in Longguo up to the few people.

"Two leaders, please come in."

After the vehicle stopped, Fang Yu opened the door and made a slight gesture.

Seeing this scene, General Chen and Liu Yadong looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

"Good fellow, it seems like you have planned this in advance."

"You've gone to great lengths to drain Old Liu's fortune... But since we're here, we'll just make the best of it."

"Lao Liu, let's get in the car!"

"I want to see what this guy wants to show us. He's being so mysterious..."
