When Thomas said the word Australia, Jiang Dong's brows wrinkled uncontrollably.

Australia's military strength is difficult to rank in the current world. Although it is reasonable for them to purchase aircraft carriers, after all, one country occupies a continent.

But Jiangdong always felt that something was wrong.

Australia is a Commonwealth country, so it stands to reason that the super aircraft carrier should be purchased from Great Britain.

Jiang Dong's thoughts only lasted for more than ten seconds.

No matter what the other party’s purpose is for purchasing an aircraft carrier, it is a big deal after all.

As long as this deal is completed, shipyards across China will have sufficient funds to upgrade their equipment.

It is a good deal to exchange an aircraft carrier for the production and manufacturing technology of several major shipyards to a higher level.

He pretended to be curious and asked:

"Australia?"

"What are they buying aircraft carriers for?"

Thomas seemed to have expected that Jiangdong would ask why, so he answered neatly:

"In Australian terms, they want revenge on the Japanese monkeys."

"The call for revenge in Australia is very high, but their troops can only go to the Japanese mainland through Allied ships, and the number is still very small."

"The Australians believe that this force is too small for revenge, and they want to have their own mobile fortress on the sea."

"Send the super aircraft carrier directly to the doorstep of the Japanese and severely humiliate the Japanese monkeys."

"But they don't have the ability to produce super aircraft carriers themselves. Australia is very surprised to hear that China intends to sell them!"

"Willing to buy with cash or exchange mineral resources!"

Jiangdong seemed to have figured it out.

When it comes to the feud between Australia and Japan, it starts with the Japanese combined fleet's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor and the Japanese army's invasion of Southeast Asia.

In the early days of the Pacific War, the Allied forces were defeated one after another, and countless people became prisoners of the Japs.

Most of these prisoners did not survive the day of victory, and many were brutally tortured and killed.

The enmity between Australia and little Japan cannot be said to be deep or big.

In total, 50,000 to 60,000 prisoners were killed by the Japs in Singapore, New Guinea and other places.

"So, they not only want super aircraft carriers, but also supporting carrier-based aircraft and various destroyers and frigates?"

Thomas added:

"Submarines also want it."

Jiang Dong looked at Thomas again at this moment, feeling that he was pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked at him, and the smile on his face became more sincere and brighter.

Thomas felt a little embarrassed when Jiang Dong looked at him, so he avoided looking and asked:

"Commander-in-Chief, such a large-scale arms trade is rare. Even if hundreds of thousands of guns are sold, they are still not worth an aircraft carrier."

"Do you think this price is acceptable..."

"hey-hey…………"

The two of them moved their lips at the same time, laughing.

After laughing, Jiang Dong looked a little embarrassed.

"Listening to what you said, I think the Australians have a very urgent need for aircraft carriers."

"Under normal circumstances, the purchase and sale of a super aircraft carrier takes at least three years from contract signing to delivery."

"Three years!" Thomas kept shaking his head,

"Three years later, little Japan will definitely be wiped out."

Jiang Dong clapped his hands and said:

"Yeah, so this transaction doesn't fit into the normal process."

"I wonder if Australia can accept second-hand aircraft carriers?"

"Although it is said to be second-hand, it is not much different from the one just launched into the water. Our navy officers are very diligent in maintaining it, so it can be said to be 90% new."

Australians are definitely willing to accept second-hand products. In fact, this is also their main purchase intention.

Not only do we have to wait a long time for a new aircraft carrier, they are also ridiculously expensive.

Thomas asked tentatively:

"I wonder which aircraft carrier the Commander-in-Chief intends to sell?"

China currently has only five super aircraft carriers in operation, and it must be one of these five.

Jiangdong showed his unwillingness to give up his love and said:

"Fengtianhao."

The expression on Thomas' face almost became unbearable.

The Fengtian is the oldest of all Chinese aircraft carriers, and it can be said to be 90% new.

Since he didn’t buy it himself, Thomas didn’t care about Jiangdong’s deceptive behavior.

As long as one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

"The price......"

Jiangdong lowered his head and quickly calculated.

The initial construction cost of the Fengtian super aircraft carrier was about 200 million US dollars. Although it has been used for two years, its performance is still very strong, which is very similar to Jiangdong.

The cost of construction is US$200 million, and the selling price is doubled, rounding up to US$500 million.

It cannot be overstated.

After the currency reform, the exchange rate ratio between the Chinese New Dollar and the US dollar is approximately:

One U.S. dollar is equal to approximately two Chinese dollars.

In order to promote the Chinese currency to the whole world, as the post-war world settlement currency, this business must be settled with the Chinese currency.

Jiang Dong pondered for a moment and then said:

"We all know the huge role of super aircraft carriers in the military. Currently, there are only two countries with super aircraft carriers, and their huge returns are undoubtedly revealed to the world."

"If Australia wants to join the super aircraft carrier club, in addition to paying for the super-class ship, it also needs to pay a certain amount of political and economic impact fees and technology research and development fees!"

"What we sell is not just a super aircraft carrier, it is the seed of an aircraft carrier. Australia can build its own aircraft carrier based on the Fengtian."

"Let's do the math carefully..."

Thomas' eyelids twitched wildly. He felt that Jiangdong was more like a world arms dealer than he was.

"An aircraft carrier sells for 1 billion Chinese dollars!"

"Two destroyers and two frigates each, priced at 600 million Chinese dollars!"

(Destroyers and frigates are naturally second-hand as well.)

"Three submarines, priced at 300 million Chinese dollars!"

Jiang Dong quickly made a list on the white paper:

"In addition to buying an aircraft carrier, it must also carry at least 70 J-2 carrier-based aircraft. The price of the carrier-based aircraft is 200 million Chinese dollars!"

"It's impossible to buy only warships and aircraft, but not weapons and ammunition. Ammunition from the United States is not compatible with China's weapons and equipment."

"Let me think about it, about 100 million Chinese dollars of various types of ammunition is enough for Australians to use for a while. If it is not enough, we will buy more."

"The Australians are coming into contact with an aircraft carrier battle group for the first time. They definitely don't know how to use it, or even how to launch it."

"This requires the hands-on guidance of our navy. This will increase the training fee. I originally planned to charge 50 million Chinese dollars. It is cheaper, just 30 million Chinese dollars."

"In addition, do you need to learn repair and maintenance skills? I have a maintenance package here. It doesn't cost 9.99, but only 9.98 million. You can't buy it and suffer a loss, and you can't be cheated."

“With the package in hand, travel is worry-free…”

"There is also the transportation fee..."

"All the expenses added up are about 2.25 billion Chinese dollars."

"This is the first aircraft carrier transaction. In order to achieve long-term cooperation in the future, our country will also give away a three-year warranty."

"As long as the quality problems occur within three years due to non-war reasons or non-human reasons, such as improper operation, inadequate maintenance, etc., Huaxia will be responsible for the warranty!"

After everything was calculated, Jiang Dong also breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the dense data on the paper, he felt a sense of pride for no reason.

Overflowing with the joy of self-satisfaction, Jiang Dong looked up and saw a stunned white face.

Thomas Rockefeller was simply stunned. The first half was fine and the cost was very clear.

But what on earth are the maintenance packages, training fees, and transportation fees?
