Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Chapter 663 Damn, the price is going to be lower

"What? Only 600-800 million? What are you waiting for? Sign the agreement quickly and bring back our new artillery!"

After receiving the telegram from special envoy Davis, Roosevelt was very excited, fearing that the signing of the agreement would be delayed and the process of acquiring this new technology would be affected.

After von Karman and Qian Lin left, Roosevelt organized a team of scientific and technological advisors to analyze the importance of missile technology and its significance to future wars, so he attached great importance to the Dongfeng-1 missile technology in the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

"Mr. President, this is not just a matter of money. It also involves other technologies and equipment."

Roosevelt's team of scientific advisors reported to him with the list sent by Davis.

"What do you mean?"

"Mr. President, the Eighth Route Army has requested a lot of precision machine tools and corresponding measuring tools. This is not a big problem. After all, our current precision machine tool technology is world-leading, and the technology is constantly breaking through. It would not hurt to give them some.

But they have their eyes on a complete set of magnetron manufacturing equipment, which is the core technology and equipment for manufacturing microwave radars. We have just started industrial manufacturing not long ago, and I am a little worried about handing over such core technology to them.

Besides, this IBM card computer is not very confidential, but I don't understand why a team that makes guns and cannons would ask us for such a sophisticated computer. Do they have the time to do scientific research?"

The head of the president's scientific advisory team took the list of equipment sent back and analyzed it one by one and reported to the president.

Roosevelt did not understand these professional technical terms, and did not have a clear understanding of the functions of these devices. He asked directly: "Just tell me, what impact will the Eighth Route Army have after obtaining these devices? In what direction will they develop? What kind of weapons will they make? Will it affect the current or future strategic situation?"

"These precision machine tools can produce more precise workpieces. Their machining level will be greatly improved, and the manufacturing level of artillery and vehicles will also be improved."

Roosevelt waved his hand, obviously this was not what he wanted to pay attention to.

"For the preparation technology of special steel, they may need to prepare some special materials, such as chemical reactors or other materials."

Roosevelt shook his head slightly; this was not something he thought was particularly important.

“The full set of magnetron technology will allow them to master high-precision radar, which will greatly enhance their air and naval combat capabilities in the future.”

"No, it cannot be given."

Roosevelt refused flatly, without any hesitation.

When it comes to various equipment of strategic value, Roosevelt's vision was very advanced and he seemed unusually cold and decisive.

"As for IBM's full computing system, it may be that they need to do some ballistic simulation and code decoding work."

Hearing this speculation, the president nodded slightly and said nothing.

“Send a confidential telegram to Davis and tell him that the microwave radar technology cannot be provided, but there is no problem with other equipment.

If the Eighth Route Army still has needs, it can be supplemented by military or economic aid.

As long as the total amount is less than US$1500 million, a temporary decision can be made.

I have only one request, you must bring me the missile technology!"

The US President's voice sounded crisp and cold, and it was obvious that he was very determined about missile technology.

"Yes, Mr. President."

While the US scientific and technological advisory team on the other side of the ocean was making precise calculations for this negotiation, the top negotiation team of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi was also holding intense discussions.

"Xiao Yu, do you think the Americans will agree to our terms? I felt a little guilty when I took out the stack of papers in my hand.

You know, I've never been so nervous even when facing hundreds of thousands of enemies.

I’m worried that our conditions are too high and they might be scared away.”

The commander lit a cigarette and took a light puff without swallowing it, just to relieve his somewhat anxious mood.

The division commander and the chief of staff did the same. They took a cigarette from the commander, lit it, and smoked it intermittently. It was obvious that they were both nervous and anxious.

What's the matter?

Yu Ye was a little confused by the performance of these leaders. How could these big guys who had experienced so much blood and gore and remained calm even when faced with a catastrophe become like this just because of a negotiation?

It's really hard to understand.

Could it be that my offer was really too high?

"Commander, division commander, chief of staff, why are you so conflicted? Could it be that my price was really too high?" Yu Ye said a little nervously.

The commander exhaled the cigarette he had been holding in his mouth and whispered, "It's indeed a bit high. The price we offer is almost the same as the price we would pay to the devils. Do you really think they are the devils?

What if they run away?"

After hearing the commander's words, I realized that the commander and his colleagues were worried that the Americans would run away and they would not be able to sell the things in their hands.

Yu Ye's heart began to beat fast after hearing this. Could it be that the price he quoted was indeed a bit too high?

“It’s indeed a bit expensive, but I think our product is worth the price. I think Americans will definitely buy it, so don’t worry.

Dear leaders, I have a small suggestion. "

"you say?"

"I was thinking of adding a little more to the list of equipment I provided."

"What? More?"

The three leaders all exclaimed in surprise, and three pairs of eyes stared at Yu Ye. They didn't expect that such vicious words would come out of his mouth.

They were originally worried that the Americans would think the price was too high, but they didn't expect that they would even raise the price. Are they afraid that they won't be able to escape?

"Three leaders, don't be so surprised. At worst, we can ask them to reduce some of the items on the list. However, what I added is very important, and I believe you will approve of it."

"Tell me?"

"I didn't have this idea originally, but after seeing these two experts coming over, I had this idea."

"Ok?"

"I want to add these two experts to this list. I have my eyes on both of them!"

Yu Ye said calmly.

When the three leaders heard this, they were stunned. They didn't expect Yu Ye to be so bold as to want to detain the American experts here.

"Can this be accomplished?"

The commander narrowed his eyes and asked thoughtfully.

Yu Ye smiled slightly: "How do you know if this thing can succeed if you don't try it?"

"to make!"
