Darkness and flowers!
For Modar Haroon, the moment was truly a dark and flower.
Originally, neither he nor any other camel had ever thought of buying an XH-2.
After all, it was a ballistic missile. Before, they had found Long Village not only once but many times to buy this thing, but each time they were rejected by Long Village.
The last time the sand camel purchased a ballistic missile was during the days when Long Village was desperate for money, decades ago.
Back then, they spent billions of green coins to buy dozens of ballistic missiles.
And then there was no then.
Especially after the Black and White Eagle Village issued the MTCR, they forcibly threatened the whole world not to export missiles with a range exceeding three hundred kilometers!
As a result, not even a cruise missile with a range of more than three hundred kilometers could the sand camels buy anymore!
To be honest, if they had to say anything, it was just that they had "picked up" some "rocket propelled bombs" from the desert.
They took some rocket propelled bombs with a range of 290 kilometers from a certain village and modified them into missiles with ranges of hundreds to thousands of kilometers...
Nevertheless, the fact remains that after the Black and White Eagle threatened the world, neither the sand camels nor the entire desert have been able to obtain real medium to long-range missiles.
Therefore, before Qin Shan opened his mouth, although Modar Haroon had a longing for XH-2 and NH-5.
However, he still hadn't proposed any purchase ideas.
After all, no one in the world could openly export medium to long-range conventional missiles before, let alone XH-2, this high-speed supersonic cruise missile that can maneuver and change its trajectory.
But I didn't expect that Qin Shan would propose it actively!
"Qin, are you serious? Are you willing to export the XH-2 hypersonic ballistic missile?"
After a stunned silence for a while, Modar Haroon finally snapped out of it and asked in some uncertainty.
Qin Shan nodded slightly and smiled, "Of course, as long as the prince's party wants them, we can export them at any time, but..."
But?
Hearing those two words, Modar Haroon's heart suddenly tightened.
Hastily said, "Qin, is there any difficulty?"
At these words, Qin Shan slightly shook his head and then said, "There's no difficulty, just that it needs to be explained to Prince Haroon in advance: the price of these XH-2 hypersonic ballistic missiles might be a bit high..."
Pricey?
Hearing that word, Modar Haroon immediately relaxed.
If it were another issue, the camels might have a headache, but if it's about money, they have no problem with that.
After all, they are so poor that they have left only money!
Although the money they had in their hands was also consumed in the previous conflicts.
But that's not a problem, as long as the land is still in their hands...
Or, the oil under the land they still have in their hands, their money is endless!
In a word——they don't need money!
"Qin, just tell me, how much is one XH-2? Is fifty billion enough? If it is, we the sand camels will directly purchase a hundred of them!"
After taking a deep breath, Modar Haroon directly extended his right hand and spread his fingers.
“...”
Watching Modar Haroon's outstretched right hand, Qin Shan fell silent.
Fifty billion is enough?
That's more than enough!
And let's not talk about the cost. In the previous negotiations, the export price of XH-2 they discussed was only 20 billion Long Village coins!
This was the decision made after comprehensive consideration.
The dozens of ballistic missiles that Long Village sold to the camels previously were priced at one billion green coins each.
According to the exchange rate at that time, one billion green coins were almost equivalent to four billion Long Village coins!
Now that these XH-2 are sold at 20 billion Long Village coins, it is reasonable and just.
Although the price seems to be five times higher, after all, there has been inflation in the currency over the years, and the performance of the XH-2 is also far superior to that of the ballistic missiles from before.
In this case, twenty billion is also roughly enough. If it were any more expensive, Modar Haroon might not even buy very much...
But now it seems that they still underestimated the camel's enthusiasm for XH-2.
"Should we ask for more money?"
Almost subconsciously, an idea flashed through Qin Shan's mind.
Looking at Modar Haroon's expression, it seemed that fifty billion was not the limit for the sand camels.
Thinking of the vast oil fields that Modar Haroon's sand camels have been digging for decades and the trillion-dollar gold mines estimated by the Galaxy Mining Company under Xu Heng's hand, fifty billion seems like nothing at all.
To be honest, the oil that they will dig for decades is just the already proven ones. In fact, how much has not been explored, even Modar Haroon himself doesn't know!
As for the gold mines, although the reserves have been fully explored by the Galaxy Mining Company under Xu Heng's hand and will not increase, they are also gold mines worth a trillion green coins!
Moreover, it's a trillion green coins before the depreciation of the green coins. Converted into Long Village coins, it's at least a trillion!
Compared to such enormous wealth, dozens of billion are nothing!
However, this thought was quickly dismissed by Qin Shan.
But fifty billion might not be the limit of Modar Haroon.
But they Long Village also don't need to really calculate every time by pushing their bottom line.
It's not advisable to deplete the pond; it's more conducive to development to let the water flow steadily...
To be honest, Modar Haroon is planning to let Long Village help them rebuild in the future!
For the camels now blown into pieces, the funds for reconstruction are also a astronomical figure.
And that money, sooner or later, will be Long Village's, and it can also drive production and employment in Long Village.
It's unnecessary to extract the camels directly in a single stroke...
And there's another point: fifty billion in profit is already an incredible figure!
After all, the cost of one XH-2, if produced by Xu Heng, would only require a little over two million. Even if produced by Long Village itself, it would only need a little over ten million Long Village coins.
Even if the submerged XH-2 is converted to ship-based and its range is upgraded, the cost will not exceed two million!
What is the profit multiple between twenty million Long Village coins and five billion?
Thinking of this, Qin Shan directly opened his mouth and said:
"Your Royal Highness, are you sure you want to purchase a hundred of them?"
"Of course!" In response to the question, Modar Haroon nodded resolutely.
Not purchasing?
How could they not purchase.
This is a ballistic missile, and not just any ballistic missile, but a hypersonic one at six Mach speed, which can also maneuver and change its trajectory!
If they purchase a hundred of these XH-2 and install them into their 52G destroyers, they will no longer have to fear the Black and White Eagle!
The reason why they were bullied so badly by the Black and White Eagle in the past was not due to a lack of sea power.
With these things, they can worry about the Black and White Eagle no more, and even directly send their fleet to the doorstep of the Black and White Eagle!
Do you have an aircraft carrier, Black and White Eagle?
What's the use of having an aircraft carrier?
Your aircraft carrier's combat radius for the carrier-based aircraft is just over a thousand kilometers, and my missile's combat radius is also a thousand kilometers!
That's not correct. It is actually 1,500 kilometers!
After all, just now Qin Shan did say that if they needed to, Long Village could help upgrade these missiles, increasing their range from one thousand kilometers to one thousand five hundred kilometers!
One thousand five hundred kilometers—this distance even exceeds the combat radius of the eagles' aircraft carriers!
When the time comes, let's hurt each other!
Let's see whose range is further!
And there's another point: after the missile is launched, the fleet can even retreat directly!
After all, after the missile is launched, it doesn't even need the warship to continue following. Remote command and control is enough.
But your aircraft carrier, after the carrier-based aircraft take off, do you dare not follow?
Don't want the carrier-based aircraft anymore?
As long as you dare to follow, you will have to wait for the wrath of XH-2!
Seeing Modar Haroon's excited expression, Qin Shan's heart was also filled with joy.
One hundred XH-2s!
One hundred XH-2s, one with a price of fifty billion, a hundred are fifty billion!
Adding the income from Modar Haroon's previous acquisition of 52G destroyers, Modar Haroon will directly contribute an astonishing wealth of one hundred and ten billion to their navy!
One hundred and ten trillion—this is enough to replace all the equipment of the Long Village navy, from top to bottom, inside and out!
Forty-eight 52G-type destroyers, thirty Longyuan battleships, twenty-six sacred dragon attack submarines, twenty strategically important black dragons, and ten drone carrier motherships!
And there's plenty more than enough to replace all the equipment, including power armor and various other weapons!
Even enough to support the upgrade of the "anti-wood" defensive system for the Longyuan battleships!
According to what they discussed with Xu Heng not long ago, they plan to gradually upgrade and transform the eight Longyuan battleships that are currently under construction, as well as the twenty-eight more that are planned for the future.
After the transformation is completed, the new Longyuan will have the ability to intercept wood and execute Long Village's mission of intercepting wood from the Black and White Eagle Village!
These upgrades and modifications require a substantial amount of funding.
And now, the funds are available!
And they can even directly replace the power systems of all their Longyuan battleships with controlled nuclear fusion power systems, turning them into true nuclear-powered warships!
And the same goes for the Chiwen and Bisui black dragons. This one trillion yuan is enough to upgrade and transform all these black dragons...
At this moment, Modar Haroon's voice echoed again:
"Qin, do you know if your NH-5s are for sale? If so, I would like to purchase some..."
Hearing this, Qin Shan was taken aback.
"Then, Qin Shan shook his head slightly and said, 'I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness. We don't currently have plans to export NH-5..."
The Nuha-5, also known as NH-5, is different from the XH-2. They are completely different concepts.
From the very beginning, neither Qin Shan nor any other Long Village administrators have ever considered exporting it.
Moreover, this thing can only be used with mushrooms, otherwise its cost-effectiveness is completely not proportional to its value.
And mushrooms, even if Long Village goes bankrupt, they will never sell them. If this thing were to spread, and one day fall into the hands of some crazy person, it might be a disaster for the whole world!
By then, Long Village itself might be affected in return. In such a situation, how could Long Village sell it?
Being rejected by Qin Shan, Modar Haroon was disappointed, but he quickly adjusted his attitude.
He proposed the idea of purchasing NH-5 simply out of curiosity. He didn't really expect to be able to buy it, and since Qin Shan wasn't planning on selling, there was no point in any further discussion.
Shaking his head, Modar Haroon shook off the thought from his mind and continued:
"Then, dear Qin, the Sand Camels want to purchase one hundred XH-2 hypersonic ballistic missiles. How long will it take to deliver?"
Pausing for a moment, waiting for Qin Shan's response, Modar Haroon continued: "By the way, please upgrade all these missiles as well. Increase their range to one thousand five hundred kilometers. We will cover the entire cost of the upgrades..."
Hearing this, Qin Shan shook his head slightly and said, "With one hundred missiles, we can deliver them all by the latest in three months. It so happens that the first batch of eight 52G destroyers you ordered will also be ready for sea in three months, so these one hundred missiles can be delivered at the same time as the 52Gs..."
"As for the upgrade issue, we can upgrade all these missiles to a range of one thousand five hundred kilometers. As for the cost, we can offer to upgrade them for free..."
A missile for two million and fifty billion, what a huge profit.
Qin Shan really didn't want to charge any additional upgrade fees.
Qin Shan worried that he wouldn't be able to sleep at night if he charged any additional upgrade fees.
Thoughtful, Qin Shan continued: "Moreover, as a witness to our friendship, I can also arrange for you to receive one hundred HK-16 long-range hypersonic air defense missiles, ten sets of HK-13S twenty-four-launcher hypersonic air defense missile systems and one hundred matching air defense missiles..."
The HK-16 long-range hypersonic air defense missile is an air defense weapon that comes with the 52G destroyer. Its maximum range is 350 kilometers, maximum speed is five Mach, and maximum altitude is 11,000 meters. Modar Haroon's purchase price was five million Long Village coins per missile.
One hundred of these are worth five billion!
This is not a small figure, but compared to the five trillion dollar order, five billion is only one thousandth of it!
And five million is the sale price for an export, while the cost of one HK-16 is only a little over six hundred thousand...
As for the HK-13S twenty-four-launcher hypersonic air defense missile system, this is also an air defense weapon for the 52G destroyer. A set of HK-13S air defense missile systems that include the missiles only costs one hundred ninety million.
HK-13S short-range hypersonic air defense missile, with a maximum range of ten kilometers, maximum speed of five Mach, and a single HK-13S missile costs only six hundred forty thousand!
Ten such air defense systems and one hundred short-range air defense missiles total a value of two hundred fifty-four million.
Adding the five billion, the total value is seven hundred fifty-four million.
This bonus gift is not very high for Long Village. At least, compared to this five trillion yuan order, it is not high.
Upon hearing what Qin Shan said, Modar Haroon's face subtly revealed a trace of joy.
Although the amount of 7 billion yuan is indeed nothing to him, these 7 billion yuan worth of things are all good things!
Its value itself is far beyond the seven hundred and fifty-four million figure!
Apart from Long Village, nowhere in the world can you find such high-quality goods at the same level!
Even the former overlords Black and White Eagles couldn't find such high-quality goods!
Regardless of other things, just the hypersonic aspect alone is enough to make Black and White Eagles chase for many years!
Let alone the fact that these missiles, without exception, all have extremely precise accuracy!
...
"Qin, we Sand Camels also want to purchase some XH-2s..."
Seeing Modar Haroon on the brink of reaching an oral agreement with Long Village, the representative of the other camel tribe couldn't sit still any longer and quickly stood up.
As the second largest village in the desert and also one that has always been competing with the Sand Camels for first place, they could unite against their common enemy, Black and White Eagles, before.
Now, Black and White Eagles are already on their last legs.
Their honeymoon period with the Sand Camels might burst at any moment.
Now that the Sand Camels have purchased so many advanced equipment from Long Village, what would they do if they didn't do anything? They would end up as the second place.
Even if the Sand Camels had any bad intentions, the camel tribe might lose all their ability to retaliate!
This is not good for them!
Just thinking about the armed forces that the Sand Camels now have in their hands, the representative of the other camel tribe felt a chill run down their spine!
So many eagles, judges drones, so many Ying Long fighter jets, Jiantian-20 fighter jets, and the forty 52G-class destroyers mentioned by Qin Shan and Modar Haroon during their exchange, as well as the just-concluded one hundred XH-2 ballistic missiles...
When they faced off against Black and White Eagles Village before, they felt that the weapons in Sand Camels' hands were too few.
Now that Black and White Eagles were gone, upon reflection, they realized that Sand Camels had, without their notice, acquired such terrifying power!
Although many of the equipment have not arrived yet, even with just what they have now, it's enough to make one's hair stand on end!
At this moment, the representatives of the other camel tribe couldn't sit still any longer...
Facing the voice of the representative of the other camel tribe, Qin Shan's eyes flickered slightly.
But he didn't say much, merely nodding in response:
"I wonder how many XH-2s Mr. Achele wants to purchase?"
"One hundred... No, two hundred!" Facing the question, the representative of the other camel tribe, Achele, responded directly.
Two hundred?
Qin Shan's eyebrows twitched slightly.
If one costs fifty billion, then two hundred would be a trillion!
When did the camel tribe become so extravagantly wealthy?
Without waiting for Qin Shan's response, Achele continued: "In addition, we also want to purchase twelve 52G-class destroyers. We hope to upgrade all the XH-2s and upgrade all the missiles' ranges to 1,500 kilometers..."
Hearing this, Qin Shan nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Achele hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Furthermore, we would like to modify one hundred and fifty of the XH-2s into air-based and land-based versions. Is that possible?"
Modify into air-based and land-based versions?
Qin Shan's eyes flickered slightly, and he silently glanced at the side of Modar Haroon.
Almost instantaneously, he guessed the thought in Achele's mind.
He couldn't help but exclaim in his heart. After all, there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests!
Just as they were just about to drive out the external enemy, no, even before the enemy had been truly driven out, these camels were already starting to have disputes among brothers.
Although strictly speaking, the camel tribe and the Sand Camel tribe are not actually brothers, they are still people from the same place, and not too long ago, they were digging in the same trench, eating and sleeping together.
For a moment, Qin Shan fell into silence.
To be honest, Achele's question was quite difficult to answer.
After all, he just reached an oral agreement with Modar Haroon for thousands of billions of Long Village currency. Now, the various interests between Long Village and Sand Camels have reached trillions!
In this situation, Qin Shan knew that Achele's request had ulterior motives. It would be somewhat inappropriate to agree to Achele's request.
Especially in front of Modar Haroon.
If not to respond to Achele, it would also seem inappropriate. While Long Village's interests with the camel tribe are not as strong as those of Sand Camels, they still exist.
But there are still tens of billions of interests!
The war over the past years was not just between the Sand Camels and the Black and White Eagles Village. The camel tribe also incurred huge losses during this process!
As the backbone of the camels, Long Village naturally has significant interests on the side of the camel tribe.
For a moment, Qin Shan was somewhat at a loss.
Not only Qin Shan, but also the other Long Village commanders beside him were frowning deeply.
They are not foolish, and they can naturally see the problems with this.
To put it in the best possible way, the camel tribe is buying equipment to prevent problems from occurring. To put it in the worst possible way, this is almost equivalent to directly "forcing a palace"!
Does Achele not know the consequences of saying such words?
It's obvious that it's not possible!
It is impossible and not advisable for Achele, the representative of the other camel tribe, to not consider these factors.
But Achele still said it, and the purpose seemed to be self-evident...
This guy is bad...
But on the other hand, it's also quite normal. After all, the Sand Camels and the camel tribe are not one village. From Achele's perspective, whether it's being cautious or having ulterior motives, there's nothing wrong with it...
Thinking of this, everyone felt relieved.
In front of everyone, after thinking for a moment, Qin Shan looked at Achele deeply and then directly opened his mouth:
"Sure, we can help modify and upgrade it into air-based and land-based versions for you. However, before we do that, Long Village has a cooperation project. Does Mr. Achele have any interest?"
Cooperation project?
Achele was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "What project?"
