Eagle Sauce: The 055 destroyer was launched into the sea just after the founding of the country?

Abdullah added, a hint of pride in his voice.

Fang Yu nodded thoughtfully, his gaze lingering on Sankara for a moment.

Kiev, a small African country that has just gained independence from colonial rule.

Such countries are eager to build up their own military strength and break away from the influence of their old colonial powers.

If we can become their weapons supplier, it will not only bring foreign exchange income to Dragon Country, but also expand its influence on the continent of Feizhou.

The vigilance in General Chen's eyes also eased a little, but his military instinct made him still keep a certain distance.

"The prince's friends are our friends."

“However, there are some things that require careful consideration.”

The atmosphere in the living room changed subtly.

Sankara sat on the sofa, his back straight without relaxing at all, his fingers tapping lightly on his knees, as if waiting for an important negotiation to begin.

His eyes swept over Fang Yu from time to time, as if he had heard of the legendary deeds of this Dragon Country military expert.

Seeing the slightly depressing atmosphere at the scene, Fang Yu immediately stood up to smooth things over.

He walked up to Sankara and extended his hand warmly.

“General Sankara, welcome!”

Seeing this, General Chen also smiled and nodded, signaling the waiter to serve tea.

The atmosphere in the reception room immediately became relaxed. Under the gorgeous crystal chandelier, four people sat around the mahogany coffee table, and the aroma of tea rose in the air.

Sankara seemed a little reserved. His rough hands held the delicate teacup carefully, and his eyes revealed a bit of uneasiness and expectation.

He cleared his throat and said in the slightly accented Dragon Country language: "I...I am indeed here to purchase weapons and equipment."

"But," he glanced at Abdullah awkwardly, "we in Kifaso have just gained independence, and our treasury is insufficient. We can't spend hundreds of millions of dollars on equipment like the Camel Country did."

Fang Yu smiled and waved his hand.

"General, we Dragon Nation treats you equally, regardless of the size of your transaction. Every nation has its own needs and budgets, and we fully understand that."

He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and his tone became professional.

"In that case, let's not continue with the small talk and get straight to the point."

He turned to the briefcase beside him, took out a few concise equipment brochures, and pushed them in front of Sankara.

"First is our Type 81 assault rifle, which costs $280 each and outperforms the American M14 and is suitable for combat in tropical jungle environments."

“It is light, durable, and easy to maintain, so even inadequately trained soldiers can quickly master it.”

Fang Yu's fingers tapped the pictures of weapons in the color album.

"Ten thousand of them would cost $280 million, enough to arm three infantry regiments."

Sankara picked up the album, flipped through it with interest, and nodded from time to time.

The price is much cheaper than the European ones and it looks to be of good quality.

He could feel Abdullah's approving gaze on him.

"The second is our Type 59 light tank,"

Fang Yu turned to the next page.

"At $300 million each, it's 30% cheaper than similar European equipment, but its performance is unmatched by European tanks."

"Ten of them would be three million dollars."

"Its advantages are simple structure, easy operation and low maintenance cost, making it very suitable for countries that have just established armored forces."

Sankara's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but run his fingers over the outline of the tank in the atlas.

With these equipments, at least the surrounding countries will not dare to provoke us easily.

However, as Fang Yu quoted the price of these weapons.

Sankara's expression changed visibly, from initial excitement to disappointment after seeing the price, and his eyes dimmed.

He tapped the table lightly with his rough fingers and said helplessly.

“These equipments are indeed very advanced, but our country has just gained independence and our finances are very tight…”

"so……"

Fang Yu nodded in understanding, not showing any disappointment at the possible reduction in orders.

"I completely understand, General."

"These are our latest equipment. In an environment like yours, you don't need such advanced weapons."

He closed the album and took another document from his briefcase.

"If you don't mind, we can provide you with weapons captured from the battlefield, and the price will be more suitable."

Sankara's eyes suddenly lit up, but then a hint of worry appeared.

“Captured weapons…how are their performance and reliability?”

Fang Yu smiled and opened a new folder, which contained a series of photos of refurbished American weapons.

"General, you may not know that although the weapons of the Eagle Sauce are expensive, they are of good quality."

"The equipment we seized has undergone a comprehensive overhaul and is in perfect working order."

“Moreover, their design tends to be practical and simple to maintain, which is very suitable for your country’s current technological level.”

Abdullah nodded in agreement.

"General Sankara, I've used a similar batch of equipment before, and it's indeed very reliable."

"The key is that the spare parts for these weapons are readily available on the international market and the maintenance costs are low."

Sankara stroked his chin thoughtfully.

“So, what’s the price?”

Fang Yu turned to the last page of the document and pointed at the number on it.

"M1 Garand rifles are priced at $120 each, 60% cheaper than the original price; M2 heavy machine guns are priced at $3000 each, 50% cheaper than the original price;"

“There are also some M47 Patton tanks that are $15 each, less than a third of their original price.”

Sankara's expression became even more embarrassed, his big hands rubbed his knees unconsciously, and he whispered.

“These are really good devices, but I’m afraid they’re still beyond our budget.”

Fang Yu thought for a moment and frowned slightly.

"General, can you tell me approximately what your country's current military procurement budget is?"

"Ten million dollars," Sankara hesitated, his voice a little low, "that's all the foreign exchange reserves in our treasury."

This answer made Fang Yu slightly stunned.

Ten million US dollars is a huge sum of money for an individual, but it is indeed just a drop in the bucket for a country's arms procurement.

He glanced at General Chen and saw that he also had a slightly disappointed expression on his face.

The living room fell into silence for a moment.

Abdullah stroked his white beard, as if thinking about how to get out of the predicament.

The sunlight from outside the window filtered through the heavy curtains, casting a dim light on the carpet.

Suddenly, Fang Yu's eyes lit up, as if a flash of inspiration had occurred to him: "General, it doesn't matter if you don't have money."

Sankara raised his head and looked at Fang Yu in confusion, his dark face full of confusion.

"We can provide loans to your country,"

Fang Yu explained with a smile.

"You can use this loan to purchase our equipment and repay it when your country's economy improves and you have enough foreign exchange. Doesn't that solve the problem?"
