Instructing her daughter to practice throwing knives, the police were frightened and asked to file

The hacker soldiers wore dark yellow uniforms, which were completely different from the uniforms of other naval personnel. Qin Tian searched for a long time but still couldn't find the leader of these hackers.

So what if it's a heavy cruiser from the United States? So what if it costs over a billion US dollars? At this moment, Qin Tian completely ignored it.

It's like being tired of pork belly; how could you resist a steak?

Ye Cunxin noticed Qin Tian's unusual behavior, quietly walked to his side, and asked in a low voice, "Captain, what's the plan this time?"

"Did you see those three Americans in dark yellow military uniforms?" Qin Tian asked calmly.

"I see them. Could they be hackers from the cruiser?"

“That’s right, guess how much they’re worth?” Qin Tian asked with a smile.

It's hard to estimate the significance of a hacker to a country, but Ye Cunxin knew that a hacker of her caliber was worth over eight figures to the Southwest Military Region. And these three people in front of her were clearly a US hacking group, their skills certainly surpassing hers.

"Three people, probably worth nearly a hundred million dollars."

This was the highest number Ye Cunxin could think of. Even if their contributions to the United States were included, it would only double at most.

"That's not enough, guess again."

Hearing Qin Tian say this, Ye Cunxin mustered her courage and guessed, "Five hundred million US dollars."

But she herself didn't quite believe the number. If these three people were really worth five hundred million US dollars, wouldn't her own value in China also be one hundred million US dollars?

"It's still too little, far too little." Qin Tian shook his head.

"What? Five hundred million US dollars is not enough? Captain, are you kidding me? Are these three really that valuable?" Upon hearing Qin Tian's words, the members of the Ocean Action Team were stunned and could hardly believe it.

"How much are these three people worth? A heavy cruiser is only worth a little over a billion US dollars," someone asked doubtfully.

"Value and price are two different things. Does the captain think he can extort money from the United States based on value?" Everyone was filled with questions and couldn't figure it out.

"Captain, how much do you think is appropriate?" At this moment, Ye Cunxin's heart was racing. She really didn't dare to guess anymore; this was practically playing with her heart.

"A conservative estimate is one billion US dollars, of course, I'm talking about each person," Qin Tian said calmly, as if this astronomical figure couldn't even stir a ripple in his otherwise undisturbed heart.

This is Qin Tian's offer. As for whether he will raise the price when negotiating with the Americans, that depends on his mood.

This time, nearly 1,200 prisoners were imprisoned at the Weinan military base.

Yu Hao's budget was already stretched thin, and Qin Tian would bring a large group of people to the base every few days. However, this was not a problem for Qin Tian. He simply handed over 20 million from the military and then asked the military to increase Yu Hao's expenses.

This is the kind of aura that comes with being rich and powerful. The money he extorted from the Vietnamese and American governments was all used for the construction of the Tiger Roar, but he already had more than 150 million in savings, so why would he care about this little bit of money?
Qin Tian was already determined to devour the "steak" in front of him. He was so confident that he no longer even considered interrogating the three hacker soldiers.

In the evening, when the CIA in Washington state received Lauren's call, the top brass were shocked.

Lauren's survival in the "330" incident was incredibly lucky; he was rescued by Vietnamese fishermen. Upon returning to Vietnam, Lauren immediately found a phone booth. Ironically, the cost of this transoceanic call was money he had saved by begging.

When the CIA learned that three Navy SEAL hackers had been captured by Qin Tian, ​​the director immediately lost face.

At this moment, CIA Operations Director Desai quickly stepped forward.

“I was the one who came up with this plan to lure the fish into the trap, so I should bear the main responsibility.”

Diesel lowered his head in shame. Before setting off, he had thought his plan was flawless.

"Putting aside the issue of responsibility, where do you think the problem lies?" the authoritative bureau chief asked in a deep voice.

"The plan was not thorough enough."

"No, this is rash action. We know too little about the enemy," the director sighed. The clues they had gathered so far about Qin Tian and the major general Ku of the Chinese military were still far too few.

"Qin Tian's abilities and level of danger have been upgraded to S-class by the CIA. We shouldn't act rashly, should we?" Disai asked awkwardly.

The moment Qin Tian's name was mentioned, the entire conference room fell silent, and everyone pricked up their ears.

"I ask you, Qin Tian has repeatedly succeeded in committing crimes right under our noses. Do you know what methods he used?"

"Although it has not been confirmed, it is not difficult to infer that Qin Tian is currently using China's most advanced submarine, which has a sufficiently long reconnaissance range."

"Is that all?" the bureau chief asked coldly.

"By the way, Qin Tian's repeated successes are probably because he has a top-notch hacker by his side."

"What a joke! You could count the top hackers in China on one hand. Are any of them working for the Chinese military?"

Diesel thought about it and realized it made sense. According to CIA intelligence, the hacker next to Qin Tian was only a top hacker in the Southeast Military Region, and in China, he could only be considered a first-rate hacker, far from being a top-tier hacker. But how could that explain the fleets that Qin Tian had successfully compromised?
These warships were driven into the Haifeng Island naval port entirely passively. Prior to this, their communication, navigation, and electrical systems had all been tampered with.

Vietnam and the United States have capsized more than ten times in the same river. If this were to get out, even without the incident of warships accidentally entering a Chinese naval port, both governments would lose face.

The Yue Kingdom doesn't care. It's a small country; all it seeks is development. What use is face? Only the US government values ​​face. Major General John, who negotiated with Qin Tian last time, was thrown into prison shortly after returning. His court-martial hasn't even begun yet.

Suddenly, a ray of light shone on the ground, and Major General John saw hope of regaining his freedom.

The next morning, Qin Tian led thirty members of the marine and land action teams, standing neatly outside the house with himself at the center.

As the saying goes, good news makes people feel refreshed, and John, dressed in a suit and looking radiant, appeared here again.

Qin Tian was completely baffled as to why the other party was so excited. Could it be that they had secretly taken stimulants before entering the Weinan military base?
"Major General John, on behalf of the South West Military Base, I extend my welcome to you."

Qin Tian took a step forward, his tone unchanged. Of course, John now had value to be exploited again.

The steak was still in John's hand; his old rival's negotiating skills were truly questionable.

The two entered the conference room again, one after the other. This time, John was clearly much calmer and more composed than before.

That's understandable, considering he paid $800 million in "tuition fees" last time.

The saying "a fall into a pit, a gain in your wit" is absolutely true.

Before either of them could sit down, and before Qin Tian could speak, John preemptively said:
"Major Admiral Qin Tian, ​​I am here on behalf of the United States government to negotiate, seeking only to bring back this cruiser from the Third Squadron of the Pacific Fleet." Compared to last time, John was a completely different person, his demeanor much more imposing. Qin Tian did not directly offer a price, but suddenly asked, "That depends on how much money you brought."

“Fifteen billion US dollars,” John answered quite readily, confident that this price would satisfy the other party.

The cruiser cost less than 1.2 billion, and the remaining 300 million was for ransoming prisoners. Qin Tian smiled calmly and said, "That's too much. I'd be willing to sell you the cruiser and all its soldiers for 100 million US dollars."

"I am here on behalf of the U.S. government. I urge Major General Qin Tian to negotiate seriously." John didn't believe him at all, his brows furrowed.

One hundred million? That's over a billion more than they estimated! Is Qin Tian a philanthropist?
Obviously not!

"To put it simply, I can give you the cruiser and all the soldiers. As the representative of the Weinan military base, I still have credibility," Qin Tian continued.

"Really?" Upon hearing this, John immediately felt that he was about to make a fortune. Even if he didn't take advantage of the national crisis to make a fortune, he could at least get a promotion in his military rank.

When did Qin Tian become so kind and generous? This was the answer John most wanted to know at that moment. However, fearing that the other party might change his mind, he quickly said, "If there's nothing else, can we sign the agreement?"

"Well, but what about those three American hackers? Does the US government not intend to take them back?" Qin Tian changed the subject and said casually.

"Shouldn't the three hackers be counted among all the soldiers?" John was taken aback; he sensed something was wrong.

"Then may I ask you, Rear Admiral John, which warship have you ever seen with a Navy SEAL hacking team on board?" Qin Tian asked with a cold smile.

"This..." John was speechless.

Immediately afterward, Qin Tian slammed his hand on the table, stared at John, and said in a fierce voice, "The United States attempted to use hackers to breach our Weinan military base in China. Ignoring warnings, they openly intruded into the territorial waters of our Haifeng Island, seriously infringing upon our country's rights and interests!"

At that moment, a chill swept in from all directions, and although it wasn't in one place, it permeated the entire reception room.

In a daze, John no longer dared to look up at the young man sitting opposite him. Just how terrifying was he?

After a long while, Qin Tiansen's cold voice rang in John's ears again.

"Will the US government admit to or deny this charge?"

Confess? Then Qin Tian could probably write a book detailing the Pacific Fleet's crimes during the negotiations, turning the stalemate into a one-sided affair.

Refusing to plead guilty? With negotiations broken down, if the Chinese military, with irrefutable evidence, were to make this matter public, the US government would once again be caught in a vortex of international public opinion.

John pondered for nearly half an hour, but fortunately Qin Tian was exceptionally patient and let him think it over.

Suddenly, John looked up, and a chilling, blood-red image seemed to flash directly into his mind.

The head of the management office, Barton, suddenly stepped forward.

"It seems that choosing John to negotiate was a completely wrong choice."

Barton looked guilty, because it was his idea to suggest that John go to negotiate, and his intention was to let John redeem himself, but he did not expect that it would backfire.

The bureau chief glanced at Patton lazily, his eyes filled with despair.

“I know what you mean, but we shouldn’t deal with this kind of enemy using conventional methods. Even if we send a negotiation team over, there’s no room for maneuver.”

No sooner had the director finished speaking than a disheveled middle-aged white man in the corner suddenly spoke up.

"I do have a way to deal with Qin Tian."

The sound stunned everyone. It was like a powerful cheetah hiding behind a rock in the wilderness, staring intently at them.

This cheetah may not be very big, but it is covered in black spots, with deep-set eyes that are bloodshot and menacing.

What kind of look is that? It's the look of a forager.

"It seems Mr. John has already made up his mind."

As soon as Qin Tian spoke, John instantly snapped back to reality from the screen.

Although Qin Tian is not a cheetah, he is a thousand times, ten thousand times more ferocious. Even a cheetah knows that a single strike to the throat will kill its prey, let alone Qin Tian.

John cleared his throat before saying, "Although I was unaware of the U.S. military's attempt to use a hacking team to infiltrate Sea Breeze Island, I am still a representative of the U.S. government."

"Those three American hackers, two billion US dollars each, you can consider it. Also, the cruiser and all the soldiers, consider it a small gift from us to the US government."

With a wave of his hand, Qin Tian directly sent the United States a cruiser and all the soldiers on the warship.

As a Chinese, he has always valued reciprocity.

Two billion per hacker? That's six billion for three. Even with the US government's deep pockets, they can't squander taxpayers' money like this!

“I think I need to call the director,” John sighed, then said.

The amount was so large that even he couldn't make up his mind.

As for Qin Tian, ​​he was indeed in a bit of a hurry. He wasn't short of money regarding the Tiger Roar nuclear submarine, but new items had appeared in the system shop. The system had given him a reward after he completed the mission of capturing a top American hacker.

This includes 60,000 experience points and an item lottery.

After the lottery, the system listed a super robot team for sale, priced at three billion US dollars.

This super robot team consists of twelve robots, each with its own specific role. Based on the instructions input by the system, they can increase the construction efficiency of the Tiger Roar by nearly ten times while working continuously for 24 hours a day.

In this way, a major project that would take several years to complete can be finished in just two hundred days.

According to Qin Tian's original schedule, the Tiger Roar would only take two hundred days to launch, but that was assuming the super robot team started work.

Without the robot squad, the launch of the Tiger Roar will be delayed significantly, possibly even several years.

Now that the construction period has been delayed, how could Qin Tian not be anxious?

Although she was anxious, she only said, "It's alright." (End of Chapter)
