Upon hearing this, Qin Shan glanced at Novosibirsk, then nodded slightly.
Although Khrinovsky did not explicitly state what message he had received, no one here is an idiot, so there's no need to say much.
Just keep it in everyone's hearts...
With Qin Shan's response, Khrinovsky's eyes flickered slightly.
Glanced at the Renovo, the administrator from the village of Sanda three times to the side, and then said, "I wonder if your Long village is involved in this joint training exercise?"
With Khrinovsky's voice, Renovo was staring straight at Qin Shan, waiting for Qin Shan's response.
Facing the gazes of the two, Qin Shan smiled slightly and said:
"The Sh camel people have invited us, and it's hard to refuse their kindness, so of course we will participate..."
As the words fell, Qin Shan looked at the two, and said:
Upon hearing this, Khrinovsky glanced at Renovo, who was not far away from him, and then nodded directly:
"Certainly, we must participate. If Mr. Qin and all of you are involved, how can we miss such an opportunity..."
As the words just fell, Renovo also nodded directly: "Mr. Khrinovsky is right. We also received an invitation from the Sh Camel people, and we must participate..."
If Long village does not participate, they may consider it.
Now that Long village is involved, how could they not participate in such an event?
Even if Long village really does not want to participate, they have to find a way to involve Long village.
After all, this is a rare opportunity to witness the strength of Long village!
Since over a year ago when they flexed their muscles, Long village has not publicly displayed any strength.
Even the previous muscle flexing was just a formal display of showing off things like the Water Dragon Statue.
In fact, the true combat power of these things has not been truly seen.
Now, to be able to experience it firsthand up close is much more meaningful than any display...
Both Khrinovsky and Renovo really want to know how far Long village has developed now, and they also want to know how much hidden power Long village has now!
Pausing for a moment, Renovo continued, "I don't know how much strength you plan to dispatch to participate in the exercise this time, Mr. Qin."
Upon hearing this, Qin Shan gave Renovo a deep look, and then said:
"The specific situation, we have not yet determined, but according to the situation, our Long Yan level destroyer should participate in the exercise."
Long Yuan class?
Upon hearing the name, Khrinovsky and Renovo both felt a chill.
This name is not the first time they have heard of it.
They had even personally boarded and observed the Long Yuan class, and both had a deep understanding of its power, or rather, its "science fiction" nature!
If it weren't for them personally boarding and experiencing it, they would never have imagined that a destroyer like the Long Yuan class, which should only exist in science fiction movies, would appear in reality.
For a long time, they have always wanted to know the true situation of Long Yuan class.
Is it truly equipped with the combat power that exists only in science fiction, or is it just a superficial showmanship, a "paper tiger" boasts made by Long village?
Unfortunately, in the past, Long village never thought about publicly demonstrating the true combat power of Long Yuan class.
Long village did not want to, and other villages naturally dared not demand anything from Long village, let alone the true combat power of Long Yuan class.
Even if the combat power of the Long Yuan class is false, disregarding the Long Yuan class destroyer, just considering the 52G and that seemingly dilapidated aircraft carrier, who could block these ships?
The strength of the 52G is well known. The Sand Camels have already proven it.
And that aircraft carrier that Long village "picked up scraps," while the carrier itself is not much, but the aircraft on board are completely out of reach for any of the villages in Blue Star!
Come on, isn't the encounter of the Black and White Eagle village enough to attract attention?
And now, Long village has finally decided to publicly demonstrate the true combat power of the Long Yuan class!
As they thought about soon being able to see the real situation of Long Yuan class, neither Khrinovsky nor Renovo could wait any longer.
They even wished they could go back right now, drag their own fleets to the desert to participate in the exercises!
Fortunately, the two of them are not ordinary people. Although they are eagerly waiting, they have also managed to suppress the impulse in just a moment.
Afterward, they continued to discuss the previous matters with Qin Shan.
Like Renovo before him, Khrinovsky did not want to discuss the 52GE in front of Renovo's face. After a brief exchange of greetings, he also pulled Qin Shan over to the other side of the ship...
Just...
"A billion and a hundred million dragon currency?"
Upon hearing the price Qin Shan quoted, Khrinovsky fell silent immediately.
Although they had previously made deals worth trillions of dragon currency with Long village.
But now hearing the price of one hundred billion, Khrinovsky still felt a bit nervous.
After all, it's one hundred billion dragon currency, not one hundred billion Zambian currency!
Absolutely no village can afford to take this one hundred billion dragon currency lightly. Even if it's the Arctic Bear, let alone the former peak-era Black and White Eagle village, it's impossible for them to throw around a thousand billion casually!
Seeing Khrinovsky's reaction, Qin Shan smiled slightly and continued:
"If Mr. Khrinovsky finds this price unsuitable, actually we have another option. I think Mr. Khrinovsky might want to consider it..."
"Oh?" Khrinovsky's eyes flickered slightly, "I wonder what kind of proposal the Devary family mentioned?"
Qin Shan did not tease, directly said: "It's very simple. We engage in technical cooperation. We help you upgrade your ships or jointly develop new ships, you only need to provide enough resources..."
"Of course, there's another option: we can directly sell the 52GE destroyer to you, Mr. Khrinovsky and your group..."
Upon hearing this, Khrinovsky also fell into deep thought.
After some time, Khrinovsky came back to his senses, gave Qin Shan a deep look, and then said:
"If we want to purchase the 52GE destroyer, what kind of price does the Devary family offer?"
"One hundred and fifty billion dragon currency!" In response to Khrinovsky's query, Qin Shan said without hesitation.
That is the price given by the Sand Camels before.
It exceeds the original price quoted by Long village by two times!
The original price discussed by Qin Shan and others was 50 billion dragon currency per ship, as the construction cost of a 52G-class destroyer would only be slightly over 30 billion or just under 40 billion dragon currency, even if they built it themselves without Su Heng's fully automated production equipment.
Even Qin Shan and others did not expect the Sand Camels to value a horse's bone so much and raise the price of the 52G by so much!
And now, with the Sand Camels in front, Qin Shan and others have directly set the price of 52G to this standard.
Is one hundred and fifty billion expensive?
Saying one thing, it is indeed very expensive!
It can be said to be so expensive that it is out of line!
After all, even the Black and White Eagle village, their latest model of the shield ship, cost was less than 20 billion dollars!
According to the previous exchange rate, it was nearly 140 billion dragon currency!
And as is well known, the military cost of the Black and White Eagle village was extremely exorbitant!
The same equipment, Long village can produce with only one-third of their cost, even less than one-third!
And now, the fixed price of 52GE is even higher than the Black and White Eagle village's most expensive shield ship!
Isn't this price absurd?
Not to mention others, even Qin Shan and others felt that the price was too high.
However, from the performance of the 52GE, it is completely worth this price!
After all, the Black and White Eagle village's shield ship that cost nearly 20 billion dollars was completely outclassed by the 52GE!
In one word—the price is high, but there is a reason for it!
And before Qin Shan, even with psychological preparation, Khrinovsky still fell into silence.
After a long time, Khrinovsky shook his head slightly and said:
"So, if we choose technical cooperation, what is your cooperation proposal?"
"Technical cooperation?" Qin Shan pondered for a moment and then said: "If it's technical cooperation, we have two available options for Mr. Khrinovsky and your group..."
"First, we will help upgrade and transform your existing ships based on your current fleet. The areas for improvement include radar, fire control, weapons, power systems and so on!"
"The specific transformation cost will be negotiated according to the actual situation..."
"Second, we will cooperate with you to develop new ships. We will provide the technology, and you will provide funding and resources. After the successful development, we will share technology, and the specific cost will be analyzed according to the research and development situation..."
Upon hearing this, Khrinovsky's heart stirred.
Compared to directly purchasing ships, these two options seem to be more in line with their needs.
Whether it's the first or the second option.
The first option, if Long village directly helps them upgrade their ships, even if they are as secretive as possible during the upgrade process, their technicians will learn something.
Even possibly, they might learn Long village's technology completely.
In the end, what they really lack is cutting-edge semiconductor technology in areas such as radar, electronic countermeasures systems, and fire control.
As for engines and other things, this is not their weak point, at least not too weak.
After all, no matter how you look at it, they were once one of the two dominant powers on Blue Star. Even if they've been living off their legacy for twenty years, their reserves are still there. Dig a little and they can still come up with some basic stuff...
As long as they can understand radar, electronic countermeasures technology, and other such cutting-edge semiconductor technologies, it shouldn't be difficult for them to build their own ships in the future...
And the second option is even better.
If it wasn't for his reason telling him that Long village couldn't possibly do charity, Khrinovsky would have even thought that Long village was suddenly feeling benevolent and wanted to give them some welfare!
After all, Long village has clearly taken the initiative now, or to put it another way, it is the owner of technology while they are the ones in need of technology.
The second kind of cooperative model, in a way, isn't Long village giving away their technology to the Polar Bear village for free?
At least on the surface, that's how it looks.
However, it's just on the surface. As always, Khrinovsky doesn't think Long village will do charity.
If one wants to treat Long village as an idiot, then those with such thoughts are the real idiots!
Just like the Black and White Eagle village now, a world hegemon from two years ago, what has it become?
Except for the armed forces still in operation in the East Sea village, the armed forces in other places have almost entirely been withdrawn.
Looking at the world, the hundreds of military bases scattered all over the world two years ago, there are less than ten outside now!
All of this is because of Long village!
Every time he thinks of Long village's methods, Khrinovsky's mind can't help but feel a little chilled...
In Khrinovsky's view, Long village was more like a venomous snake than a dragon. It was a deadly snake that, when it struck, would leave its enemies either dead or stripped of several layers of skin.
Thinking of these things, Khrinovsky quickly eliminated the second option without hesitation!
This option seemed to have many advantages, but Khrinovsky dared not choose it. The manipulability inside was just too much...
Not to mention anything else, putting yourself in their shoes, if Long village didn't care about face and did something like the Polar Bear village's cooperation with the Elephant village to develop the T50 stealth fighter, they might end up pouring in tens of billions!
That's a real bottomless pit!
If it hadn't been for the Elephant village running away quickly, the losses for the Elephant village would not have been just tens of billions of green currency...
Thinking of these things, Khrinovsky also directly eliminated the first option.
The same thing was done for the Elephant village when they upgraded their ships, just like they did for the White Rhino village.
And they had also set up a trap for the White Rhino village, selling them a carrier at a "steal" price of just one blade. Then, using the blunt knife method, they cut off tens of billions of green currency bit by bit from the White Rhino village!
Due to various reasons, that carrier is still in their Polar Bear village, and they have already eaten nearly 30 billion green currency from the Elephant village...
Although there were also some elements of revenge involved, the Elephant village had owed them Polar Bear Village over 100 billion Polar Bear dollars in debt. Then, the Elephant village dragged this money until the old Polar Bear collapsed and the value of Polar Bear dollars plummeted before paying it back.
As a result, the actual debt of over 100 billion Polar Bear dollars, which was equivalent to nearly 5 billion green dollars, was repaid by the Elephant village with only 500 million green dollars!
This debt, the Polar Bear has always kept track of it, so they've been digging pits for the Elephant village all the time!
But whatever the reason, they had a "record" in this regard, so Khrinovsky worried that Long village would also dig them a pit!
After a long while, Khrinovsky shook his head, shook off the thoughts in his mind, and then said:
"Dawali, a thousand billion is a thousand billion. We can use the value of one thousand billion dragon currency's mineral resources to exchange your 52GE destroyer's complete technology!"
Pausing for a moment, Khrinovsky continued: "In addition, we also want to purchase two 52GE destroyers!"
