Ten South Heavenly Gates?
Hearing the words from Qian Zhizhong, the corners of Qin Shan's and his companion's lips twitched.
The construction cost of a single South Heavenly Gate must start from at least a trillion dragon coins!
Although Su Heng hasn't said how much it will cost for maintenance and other things afterwards, but it's probably an astronomical figure!
This thing, even for Long Village to build one, has to be done cautiously.
This is still something that can only be done with caution in the face of various "open source and cost-saving" measures.
If it comes to ten, wouldn't Long Village be directly drained dry?
Let alone Long Village, the financial resources of the Black and White Eagle family wouldn't withstand such a level of expenditure either...
Not only the two people from Qin Shan, even Su Heng was silent at this moment.
Compared to Qiao Zhenhai and others, he is more aware of how high the construction cost of the South Heavenly Gate is.
Of course, that doesn't mean he can't reduce the cost.
Just that the basic industrial capabilities of Long Village are too poor at the moment.
Many things have to undergo a large-scale upgrade before they can meet the construction needs of the South Heavenly Gate.
Of course, Su Heng can also make these things himself.
At first, Su Heng indeed had such thoughts.
But this thought only flitted through Su Heng's mind for a moment before he firmly suppressed it.
Not to mention whether it's appropriate for him to make such things himself, even if it is appropriate, the issue of money would be a huge trouble for him.
Yes, he is very rich, but such large-scale projects that cost tens or even hundreds of billions or trillions of units are something even he cannot bear.
Therefore, from any aspect, the South Heavenly Gate is something that only Long Village can build.
At most, he can only provide the relevant technical support...
"Alright, old money, stop dreaming here. One South Heavenly Gate is enough, you want to build ten? Don't you be afraid of being overwhelmed..."
Seeing that Qiao Zhenhai had not yet woken up from his fantasy, Su Heng finally couldn't hold back any longer and opened his mouth.
"Dreaming?" Being pulled back to reality by Qiao Zhenhai, Qian Zhizhong looked at Qiao Zhenhai and then snorted: "This isn't a dream. I see you, old Joe, are just jealous of us. Don't worry, once the South Heavenly Gate is built, we will provide you with support if necessary. After all, our Air Force and Land Army are one family, aren't they, old Joe?"
Hearing Qian Zhizhong's voice, Qiao Zhenhai's face turned black.
"What the hell are you talking about! Old Qian, I'll report it to the higher-ups right now and request the establishment of a special aerospace force. You old fellow want to have a free lunch? Go dream on, huh!"
Qiao Zhenhai coldly snorted.
"Indeed, I think old Joe's suggestion makes sense. Old Qian, you guys already have the Air Force. The South Heavenly Gate is something you guys can't hold on to. Let us take over instead, the star sea is also a sea, I think it's more suitable for our navy to take control of the South Heavenly Gate!"
Qin Shan nodded, speaking in a serious tone.
"???"
……
For a moment, under Su Heng's gaze, the three elderly men, with a combined age of nearly two centuries, started to argue like bandits squabbling over their spoils, blowing their beards and staring each other down.
Watching the scene before him, Su Heng maintained his composure.
Consider it as if he saw nothing.
It's hard, as their status is almost the same, and they have a good relationship with him.
Especially Qiao Zhenhai, in a short time, he will become his real senior.
In such a situation, no matter what he says, there's no way for him to interject.
Of course, more importantly, such things are clearly unnecessary. It's just a quarrel between old men. Whether to establish a new military branch or entrust it to a specific military branch of the army, these things are not something that the three can decide.
There's no point for him to butt in...
Su Heng believed that the three old men also knew this.
Now it's just a squabble of wills...
But it's obvious that Su Heng still underestimated the stubbornness of the three old men.
The three continued their argument for nearly half an hour before finally stopping their dispute without resolving any differences.
"Little Su, you prepare first. As soon as we return, we will report the matter of the South Heavenly Gate immediately. When there is news, we will contact you first. I think the launch of the South Heavenly Gate shouldn't take long..."
"And your nuclear fusion power station and magnetic levitation cars, as well as other development plans, you should compile a file and send it directly to my internal email through our internal network. If there is no accident, the leadership will dispatch someone to contact you at that time..."
After the dispute ended, Qiao Zhenhai brought the topic back on track and said directly.
"Mm" Su Heng nodded slightly, indicating that there were no problems.
Subsequently, Qian Zhizhong and the others again had a detailed discussion with Su Heng about the South Heavenly Gate.
After several hours, the three finally stood up, preparing to return to the capital to report the news and make further arrangements and preparations.
However, just at this moment, Qian Zhizhong suddenly said:
"Oh, Little Su, two days ago the camels asked for our help, wanting us to intervene and stop the squid from using the bacta camel as a human shield. Do you have any ideas?"
Hearing this, Su Heng was taken aback.
Squid anti-human behavior?
Most of his time was spent in the laboratory, and the rest of his time was mostly spent handling affairs of Jiuting Group. Even the time he spent chatting with Qiao Lu Lu was very limited.
As for the camel's war, he really hadn't paid much attention to it.
After all, the camels have already received so much help from him and Long Village. If they still fail, there would be no need for further assistance.
But now it seems that something unexpected has happened.
Noticing Su Heng's confusion, Qian Zhizhong opened his mouth directly and quickly explained the previous events to Su Heng in detail.
After listening to Qian Zhizhong's words, Su Heng's eyebrows also frowned.
His aversion to the squid race, which was already considerable, increased several times.
Su Heng knew the nature of the squid race from the beginning.
Before, he had also done business with the squid race. The first impression he had of the squid race was that they were - greedy and insatiable!
When doing business with others, most people just want to make money together, at most he makes more while you make less.
A small number of people want to swallow your capital as well, these are the truly greedy ones.
But squids are different. Squids don't just want to eat your capital, they even want you to sign a debt agreement with them, they not only want to eat your capital, but also want to break your bones and suck your marrow!
In simple terms, if you have a bowl of rice, most people just think you can give them some part of it, but squids want to eat the whole bowl and then make you sign a contract to owe them ten bowls or even one hundred bowls!
That's the squid!
Now, on the basis of greed, Su Heng's understanding of the squid race has added another dimension. That is - without bottom limits, no means are spared, and everything is used to the fullest extent!
"Is routine negotiation completely ineffective?"
After thinking for a moment, Su Heng slowly opened his mouth to ask.
"Useless." Qian Zhizhong shook his head slightly and said: "Now the squid has jumped the wall, and so have black and white eagles. The squid's infiltration in black and white eagle village is very serious, and half of the rights of black and white eagle village are under the control of squids. In addition to our relentless pressure on black and white eagle village, they have also been driven to the edge of a cliff. Now they are determined to protect squid village at all costs, not caring about what we say..."
"Even more so, even if we unite with many other villages to apply pressure on black and white eagle village, they don't care at all. Now they have become utterly ruthless, willing to do anything to achieve their goals..."
Hearing this, Su Heng understood.
Thought about it carefully, and it seems very normal.
The Black and White Eagle Village was itself formed by a group of exiled criminals.
The blood of pirates, combined with the genes of exiled criminals, the village has long-standing sins in its veins!
In the past, when they pretended to be civilized, they at least pretended on the surface.
Now that the facade has been torn off, they naturally have no desire to pretend anymore, and they show their true colors directly!
After thinking for a moment, Su Heng slowly opened his mouth and said:
"Solving this problem is actually quite simple. Human nature is inherently evil, and the best way to deal with evil is to repay it with evil in kind!"
"When the cost of a behavior is greater than the benefits of that behavior, or even far exceeds the benefits, evil can be stopped to the greatest extent!"
To repay evil with evil!
The three men's eyes flickered slightly.
In a flash of thought, the three men almost instantly understood Su Heng's idea.
After that, Qian Zhizhong shook his head and said, "This is not possible. Squids can do so because they are squids, but we cannot. First of all, we are humans. If we do things like squids, then we would have no difference from squids."
"We may have the power to suppress everything now, but only a relationship maintained by tyranny is often the most fragile! Look at black and white eagles now. They were powerful enough to suppress everything. But now that they are weak, even their most loyal dogs have begun to plan to bite them!"
"Looking at our history, there have been many similar dynasties. For example, the powerful Qin Dynasty. As long as the king of Qin was there, the Qin Dynasty dominated the world. But after the king's death, in just a few years, the Qin Dynasty fell apart..."
"And more importantly, squids prioritize their own interests, they can carelessly disregard the lives of their own tribe, but camels cannot. In particular, Bacta camels, those who were captured are their relatives and fellow countrymen. They cannot use the lives of squids to exchange the lives of their own relatives, the price is too heavy for them..."
Hearing this, Su Heng fell silent.
Indeed, there are things that evil people can do, but good people cannot.
This may be the tragedy of being a good person.
But human civilization itself needs such rules.
If everyone learns from the bad people, then this civilization is not far from collapse.
What Qian Zhizhong said at the end, squids have no humanity, but camels cannot...
Thinking about these, Su Heng shook his head slightly, suppressing the idea of using violence to counter violence just now.
After some thought, Su Heng slowly spoke, "If the most direct way to solve the problem is not feasible, there are still other methods. In fact, it's not difficult to resolve this issue. Evacuate civilians within the squid's sphere of influence, seal off the entire squid region, and send special forces to rescue the captured civilians. Then all problems would be solved..."
After hearing this, Qian Zhizhong and the others looked at each other, then shook their heads slightly and said:
"Little Su, you have also thought about this camel before, and even taken action. But the special forces of the camel are very limited. Even with the cover of drones, it's difficult to rescue the captured civilians."
"Moreover, the squids are very cruel. Once they find that camels are preparing to rescue those civilians, they will act immediately, holding the civilians as hostages. This directly makes camels hesitate and unable to exert effective force..."
"The previous rescue operation organized by camels, because the soldiers of squids also lived together with the Bacta camel civilians, the sand camels dare not use powerful weapons to attack. They can only infiltrate in small groups and then obviously, the sand camels failed. Not only did they leave dozens of elite troops, but even after failure, the squids directly pulled out 30 Bacta camel civilians and executed them publicly!"
In order to retaliate and warn the camels against their attacks!
Su Heng's eyes slightly narrowed.
After thinking for a moment, Su Heng directly said: "Since camels can't do it, we can help them."
Upon hearing this, Qian Zhizhong and the three men were somewhat puzzled.
At this time, Su Heng continued: "Let Tianjian, Dragon-Legacy, or Wolf-Teeth go to the desert..."
Upon hearing the names of Tianjian, Dragon-Legacy, and Wolf-Teeth, Qian Zhizhong and the three men were invigorated.
Then they instantly understood: "Little Su, you want to send them to rescue the hostages by piloting powered armor?"
"Yes" Su Heng nodded slightly, "With the strength of Tianjian, Dragon-Legacy, and Wolf-Teeth, combined with powered armor, rescuing hostages is something that they can easily do. Any action group they lead can accomplish this task easily. Only they can complete this task without paying a huge price or incurring significant losses!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Zhizhong and the three men frowned.
"But if we do that, won't our powered armor be exposed?"
"Exposure?" Su Heng shook his head slightly and said, "Our current strength is actually not afraid of exposure. Even if it is exposed, it doesn't matter. After all, who else can threaten us throughout the whole blue star?"
"In addition to the two months, the third batch of Jianshis and Jianshis will be delivered. By then, we will have six squadrons of our Jian-20 fighter jets and two squadrons of our Jian-11 fighters. Our Jian-21 fighter jet squadrons will also reach two."
"With these fighter jets and the upgraded and modified S27, Jian-11, and S30 fighters, we basically no longer need to worry about external security issues!"
"Adding that the Black and White Eagle Village has been suppressed and weakened to this point, with one increase and one decrease, even if they Black and White Eagle want to do something to us, it is simply impossible now!"
"So, now the exposure of powered armor is not a problem for us. On the contrary, I think that now we expose these, it can give them a greater degree of deterrence. Avoiding them jumping the wall like squids and doing the same thing to our fellow citizens within our own internal environment or outside!"
"You all know, Mr. Qian, we don't need to care about the lives and deaths of those people who seek comfort, banana people, and shepherds' dogs. But we still have many merchants engaging in normal trade outside. As we plan to expand our foreign trade in the future, we will inevitably send out a large number of staff. It's impossible for all of them to stay confined within our Long Village..."
"There are also some special identity staff who go out for various reasons, these are also our fellow countrymen. Without sufficient deterrence, it's hard to ensure that the frantic squids won't do anything outrageous in the future!"
After listening to Su Heng's words.
Qian Zhizhong and the three men exchanged a glance, then fell into deep thought.
After careful thought, it seems to be true. Now the Black and White Eagle Village is too busy to care about others. Let alone the desert, just the two villages of Xiaobavillage and Xiaopangvillage are ready to strike at the Black and White Eagle Village soon.
The power of the Black and White Eagle Village will only grow weaker in the future!
Furthermore, with their current strength, even if the powered armor is exposed, there's nothing the Black and White Eagle Village can do to them.
And the later Su Heng said, they also need to consider, after all, these squids are all people with precedents!
They are the best at things like assassination and K13 attacks!
Even their leader, Black and White Eagle Village's boss, has been dealt with by the squids.
For instance, the one who had a huge imagination...
Therefore, the emergence of a strategic force capable of deterring the squids is almost inevitable!
