EBE Chapter 800: Even more shameless than Zhou Baopi!
Chapter 800: Even more shameless than Zhou Baopi!
At the same time, after Erwin finished his trip to South Korea, he went to the Cherry Blossom Country, the Coconut Country, the Kangaroo Country and other countries.
The purpose of this trip is nothing more than to form a joint patrol team to patrol the waters of Longguo.
Under his lobbying, these countries all happily agreed and expressed that they would fully cooperate with each other and go to the waters of Longguo to carry out patrol missions.
Sakura country.
Prime Minister's Residence.
When Erwin saw that Shi Mao readily agreed to his proposal, a slight smile appeared on his face.
"Prime Minister Ishima, I deeply regret the sacrifice of Yamaguchi Baga."
"We strongly condemn the Dragon Country for disregarding international conventions and brazenly annihilating the Second Fleet of the Sakura Country Self-Defense Force."
"The United States has decided to increase its military assistance to the United States in the coming period, including but not limited to small and medium-sized military equipment, and even large equipment."
"To show our sincerity, based on the current situation of the Sakura Country Self-Defense Forces, we intend to provide you with five Aegis-class destroyers!"
When Shi Mao heard this, his face, which had been forcing a smile, finally revealed a genuine and happy smile.
He walked forward, shook Erwin's hand, and thanked him.
"Thank you Chief of Staff Erwin for your condolences, and thank you to the United States for your concern and care for the Self-Defense Forces!"
The loss of an entire fleet and the sacrifice of hundreds of officers and soldiers from the Sakura Country would not be a good thing for anyone.
If it weren't for the strong military and economic strength of the United States, Shi Mao would have directly refused this meeting.
However, facing the United States, they have no energy to resist.
Fortunately, the other side still had some conscience and knew that the Self-Defense Forces had suffered heavy casualties, so they compensated them with several warships.
Apart from anything else, the warships of the United States are world-class.
Only Longguo can compete with it. The warships of other countries are not even worthy of carrying its shoes!
Erwin patted the back of his hand and said.
"This is as it should be. Sakura Country has always been a trusted ally of Eagle Sauce Country."
"We feel very sorry for the huge losses you suffered in cooperating with the joint maritime military exercise this time."
"Five Aegis-class destroyers are just a small token of our apology. We will continue to export military forces to the Sakura Country in the future."
The smile on Shi Mao's face was simply blossoming with joy.
"Hahaha...that's right! The relationship between Sakura Country and Eagle Sauce Country is like a twist, tightly entangled together and will never separate."
The Sakura Country Self-Defense Forces were able to gain five Aegis-class destroyers, and the sacrifices of Yamaguchi Baga and others were worth it.
Erwin added.
"However, Prime Minister Shi Mao must also know that due to the severe international situation, our shipyards are also busy building other types of warships, and are also responsible for many tasks such as maintenance and overhaul."
"I'm afraid the delivery of your five warships will be delayed..."
At this point, Erwin looked helpless.
The smile on Shi Mao's face suddenly faded a little.
"Chief of Staff Erwin, can't we use our connections to cut in line?"
"You also know that the bombing by the Dragon Kingdom almost destroyed the Second Fleet of the Self-Defense Forces."
"The Second Fleet is in urgent need of additional warships. Otherwise, the overall combat capability of the Sakura Country Self-Defense Force will be greatly reduced."
He was quite happy to hear that Erwin would provide the Self-Defense Forces with five Aegis-class destroyers.
after all.
This time the Self-Defense Forces indeed suffered heavy losses. Not only did they suffer over a hundred casualties, but all of the Second Fleet's warships, except for those that remained in the port, were left forever in a sea area in the southern part of Longguo.
The five Aegis-class destroyers will not only immediately alleviate the problem of insufficient overall strength of the Second Fleet, but can even improve it compared to before.
result……
Erwin was halfway through his words when it turned out to be a blank check.
What's the use of this!
The Second Fleet is about to be lost, and you tell me how to give us warships again in a few years.
By then, the daylilies will be cold!
Erwin looked troubled, his brows furrowed.
"Prime Minister Shi Mao, it's not that I don't want to give it, but the construction period is too tight."
"How about this!"
"I will contact the person in charge of the Eagle Country's military shipyard right now to see if there is any leniency!"
Shi Mao frowned in delight.
"Thank you, Chief of Staff Erwin!"
Erwin took out his cell phone, ran outside, and pretended to make a call.
About half an hour later, he walked in with a happy look on his face.
"Prime Minister Shi Mao, the person in charge of the shipyard said that you can jump the queue, but they have conditions!"
Shi Mao said directly.
"What conditions?"
"As long as we can do it, we will do our best to satisfy you!"
What the Self-Defense Forces lack now is warships.
Relying on the current shipbuilding speed of Sakura Country, it is obviously unrealistic to fully staff the Second Fleet within a few years.
Therefore, our only option at the moment is to place our hopes on other countries.
Erwin laughed.
"The shipyard's current orders are already scheduled for ten years later. If you cut in line, you will damage the interests of other countries and the Eagle Sauce Navy."
"This matter can be big or small, but it cannot be ignored."
"The shipyard has to negotiate with them and seek their consent before they can allow you to jump the queue and start production ahead of schedule."
"Of course, there will be some blood involved!"
Erwin smiled inexplicably, with an expression that said you know what I mean.
At this moment, Shi Mao also reacted.
In the final analysis, isn’t it just about making the Sakura Country spend money to buy a spot to cut in line?
The United States has already sent warships, so it’s nothing to spend some money to build relationships.
"no problem!"
"The United States has given us warships, so we should pay for the 'peace talks'."
"I wonder how much the negotiation fee from the shipyard is?"
Erwin replied without changing his expression.
"They quoted a price of $1.5 million for one ship!"
"You have five ships in total, totaling 7.5 million, plus other miscellaneous expenses, just round off and give me 8 million!"
He expressed it generously.
Shi Mao was shocked.
How many?
1.5 million per ship, a total of 8 million?
Or knife music?!
What’s the difference between this and buying directly from the United States?
In other words, isn't this the United States selling them warships in disguise? !
Shi Mao's face suddenly looked unhappy.
He always thought that Erwin was sincere. Seeing that the Self-Defense Forces had performed outstandingly this time and had paid so much for them, he gave five warships to the Sakura Country from the bottom of his heart.
Unexpectedly!
From the very beginning, he had no such idea at all.
Even at this point, what we are thinking about is still profit.
This is even more shameless than Zhou Baopi!
Shi Mao was filled with rage, but he dared not speak out because the other party was from the United States.
I could only smile along.
"I still need to discuss this matter with the Self-Defense Forces, and I will give you an answer after some time!"
Erwin nodded nonchalantly.
"It's alright. Prime Minister Ishima will have to discuss this with the Self-Defense Forces."
"But we have to hurry up, because South Korea and Coconut Country also want to jump the queue."
"Don't try to cut in line. If you miss the chance, you'll have no choice but to bid..."
