Lynch's words are not false, but sometimes he uses some skills to make some words more acceptable.

The gentlemen in the room talked and discussed in a low voice. What Lynch said was really attractive to them.

In particular, the strategic idea of "beheading tactics", which directly attacks the other party's headquarters as the core of the attack, is very valuable. Once the headquarters is attacked, the front line will easily be chaotic.

That's war!

Every war is a war of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people. Once you lose your "head", a little trouble will turn into a fatal big trouble.

Finally, the Commissioner in charge of military equipment procurement of the Ministry of defense asked a question of concern to everyone, "Mr. Lynch, if we plan to buy a batch and try to mix some tactics, what is its price?"

"150000!" Lynch didn't even think about it.

He carefully observed the expression changes of these people. There was no big abnormality. They didn't even think it was expensive!

Of course, in a world where huge ships and heavy artillery dominate war, the price of a battleship is enough to buy... The people of the Ministry of defense calculated that about 10000 aircraft.

Only this year did Congress approve the construction plan of two battleships and strive to be in service within five years.

The Federation has only one full fleet, which is still too weak. Since the Federal Navy has proved its strength, there is no need to consider the foolish idea that "increasing the military budget will be misunderstood".

That's when people think they can't beat anyone. It's others who should worry now.

The cost of only two battleships is about 370 million federal sols. Together with others, the overall cost of the second formation of the eastern ocean, which has been completed, has exceeded one billion.

The Ministry of national defense and the military have recently handled military spending of either hundreds of millions or tens of millions, and the worst is millions. Now it is suddenly heard that there are 15 thousand planes. Their only idea is how this thing is so cheap?

Even because it's too cheap, there's an absurd illusion. Is this thing so cheap because it's unreliable?

There was no dissatisfaction with the price on these people's faces. Instead, there was an uncommon doubt. Lynch realized that he could continue to increase the price.

This is what he learned from an auctioneer before.

The auctioneer has presided over many large and small auctions. The reason why he and Lynch have become good friends is that they secretly exchange goods for auction goods on site.

But this will not change the fact that the auctioneer is an excellent auctioneer!

He told Lynch that when people are dissatisfied with the price, they will have a clear response. It may be because the price is too high, they may have no money in their pocket, or they may feel that they have seen through the secret of rising prices.

No matter what reason they are dissatisfied with the price, this dissatisfaction is very superficial, which is a kind of negation, which can be seen through their eyes.

But if someone shows a puzzled expression at the auction, it only represents two situations.

In the first case, the price was lower than he expected, and he thought it was very cheap.

In the second case, he was wondering whether the commodity was fake or whether there was something fishy that was not written in the album, so the price was so low.

Discontent and doubt form a sharp contrast. Some people have some doubts now.

In Lynch's description, the birth of an aircraft - to be exact, the birth of an effective aircraft, is a force to change the world pattern, but the key to changing the world pattern, isn't it a little cheap?

"Gentlemen, I'm talking about the price of the plane itself. If you need more things, the price is not completely unchanged..."

Even the president thinks it should be. After all, some luxury cars now cost tens of thousands of yuan. In his opinion, this kind of war weapon that can rise to a strategic level should not be affordable.

Of course, who means the people around the president who he knows well

Twenty minutes later, Lynch watched these people leave, and he breathed a sigh of satisfaction.

The chief engineer walked over cautiously, "Mr. Lynch, although it's impolite, I still want to know, have we succeeded?"

Lynch didn't look at him. He continued to look at the distant sky and felt that his mind had become wider, "of course!"

"How much have you sold?"

"Twenty?"

Lynch glanced sideways at him at this time, "you have missed a zero."

There were two hundred, and the price of each rose to 168000 yuan, which was a discount price. Lynch took the initiative to give a discount to the purchase on the grounds of his "patriotism".

Two hundred, with a total price of 33.6 million, after taking out less than 10 million in costs and seven or eight million in taxes, his profit exceeded 100%.

But this is not the case. After the Defense Department has this plan, they will not pay the money themselves. They will certainly submit the request to the Congressional military appropriations committee for declaration.

After the military appropriations committee agrees, the money will be credited to Lynch's designated account in batches.

If you want the members of the Military Commission to stand on their side, you have to let them see their sincerity.

The military will not use its own ability. This is the rule. If Lynch wants to make this happen, he must do it himself.

This is about $23 million or $34 million. This money goes directly to various foundations, and then the cost of hiring lobbyists.

In the end, he could drop about 10 million bags, or even less.

The chief engineer nearby blushed and farted. His performance almost deceived Lynch, making Lynch think he made a lot of money.

But this money is really nothing.

The chief engineer's breath was urgent. "Mr. Lynch, I heard that the price of the plane... Is not cheap?"

He did not dare to say "high" or "expensive", but used "not cheap", which was a very detailed test.

Lynch nodded indifferently. Once it was sent to the military Appropriation Committee, everyone who should know soon knew that there was no need to hide it.

"The total price is about 33 million. What's the matter?"

"Nothing!" the excited hands of the chief engineer shook uncontrollably, five percent, five percent!

1.65 million, one time!

Everyone can be divided into at least twenty or thirty thousand. I'm afraid it's not more than one hundred thousand directly!

If this were in the previous factory, I'm afraid I won't get the money until I die.

More importantly, the perfect intention of arms sales made the chief engineer see a bright future. If anyone is eager to break out of war now, it must be him.

Every time one fell, it was money!

As for patriotism?

Sorry, he felt ashamed in the face of profits.

Although I am ashamed, I have no idea to change.

Soon, the researchers in the whole research institute became excited. The money came just right. The long and boring research work finally needs some adjustment. Money is this thing!

Lynch also left the Institute later, but instead of going home or looking for someone to buy some assembly lines for processing spare parts, he found Mr. Truman.

With the help of Mr. Truman, I met the old man who is still serving his sentence, the "former" Lieutenant General of the Federation and the future admiral.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Lynch. You're younger and more handsome than you look on TV." the admiral is a very gentle old man.

Maybe he has completed what he thinks is the most important choice in his life. The whole person's spirit has reached another level. It seems that his inner side is younger than his appearance, although his appearance looks very young.

"Thank you for your compliment, general!" they shook hands and entered the house.

Although the lieutenant general is still serving his sentence, it doesn't mean that others can't visit him.

On the way to the study, Lynch looked at the house and said, "I seldom use honorifics to address others, because I am proud in my bones. I don't think anyone will be superior to me..."

The lieutenant general walking in front smiled as if he thought of something, "but you just used honorifics!"

He opened the door of the study, invited Lynch in, and closed the door again.

There is a wine rack in your study, which may be the difference between soldiers and politicians.

"Would you like some?" he asked. Then Lynch nodded. He didn't ask Lynch for any wine. He came directly with two cups and a bottle of spirits.

Watching the lieutenant general pour some wine for himself, after saying "thank you", Lynch talked about the reason why he used honorifics.

"Because you are a man worthy of my respect, the union needs someone like you, your Excellency the general."

"When people allow morality to cross the bottom line and fall into the abyss step by step for the sake of interests, when many people think that nothing can not be solved through negotiation, we need someone to stick to the last thing for us."

"You chose the right choice at the right time and won us ten years!"

"The more our enemies hate you, the more we respect you!"

"You deserve it!"

The lieutenant general couldn't help laughing and didn't pretend, "Truman told me you are a good speaker. Let me be careful to be cheated by your words like honey."

"I know what you said may serve some purpose, but I'm still very happy."

"When people are old, they always like to hear young people praise themselves!"

He was not modest at all, but Lynch smiled and said, "even when the President talked to me, I didn't use honorifics, including the emperor of gavra."

The lieutenant general was stunned at once, because he could not deceive others. Did he really respect himself?

He fell into a speculation!
