Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 200, Fireworks Information Discussion
On December 1, 1959, Zhao Mancang landed in Vladivostok and came here to do some business.

Yesterday, he completed a transaction with Ma Jiugong and others, and his experience value balance increased significantly.

This time, Zhao Mancang directly spent several thousand experience points to increase the system space capacity to a huge scale of 200 million jin of grain.

As a result, his experience value balance fell below 10,000, leaving only a few thousand, but the system space was already able to hold 200 million grains, which was a very large space capacity and was worth it.

Moreover, this time when he came to Vladivostok, he stored all the clothes and other goods in Lingguang County, so as to avoid any emergency here and the problem of insufficient system space.

Speaking of this, the things that have always been stored in the system space, in addition to money, are some instant meals for his daily use, and the Siberian tiger king.

He would use these ready-to-eat meals when he was in North America, because in North America, if he didn't go out to eat with others, such as Zhuang Xiaoting, then he would not eat out.

It's simple, the food in North America is too bad and he is not used to it.

The system space comes in handy at this time. After all, there are many Cantonese chefs in Hong Kong and Kowloon, and even chefs of other cuisines can be found.

So if Zhao Mancang wants to eat something, he can just call in advance and ask the boss to place an order, or even have the boss come to his house to cook the food and serve it according to the menu.

Although these do not seem to take up much space, in fact, if you divide a little here and a little there, no matter how large the system space capacity is, it may not be enough.

Unless Zhao Mancang can earn 100,000 or even more experience points, only then can the space be expanded further.

As for the Siberian tiger king, Zhao Mancang encountered it last year after he came out of the underground cave space. He should have dismembered it at that time. After all, he had just killed it, so the tiger king's body was still soft.

But he was immediately attacked, so he had to store the Tiger King in the system space first.

Until later, Zhao Mancang had no intention of dealing with this tiger king. Why?
What better place to keep it than system space?
there is none left!
The Siberian tiger king is full of treasures. Tiger meat is probably not very delicious, but tiger bones, tiger penis, tiger skin, etc. are all extremely valuable.

Especially tiger bones and tiger penises, these two things are definitely good things that many people dream of.

For men, soaking tiger penis in wine is a miracle drug. Anyone who has used it knows it.

But Zhao Mancang is only 25 years old this year and has no use for this thing at all.

Zhao Mancang had hunted Siberian tigers before, but he gave the tiger bone wine and tiger penis wine to his superiors.

Now this Siberian tiger king just needs to exist in the system space. When he needs it, he will naturally take it out and use it, but he hopes that he will never need to use it.

According to Kolesnikov's account last year, the Siberian tiger king is extremely difficult to encounter, let alone hunt.

It's impossible for Zhao Mancang to make another trip to Siberia just for such a Siberian tiger king, right?

What's more, hunting a tiger king is not an easy task. You have to stay in the primeval forest for at least ten days to half a month, or even longer, because hunting a Siberian tiger king requires a lot of luck.

Therefore, Zhao Mancang has not touched the tiger king so far, but has kept it in the system space.

"It's so fucking cold!"

After entering Vladivostok, Zhao Mancang started working, but the weather here was really cold.

Because it is December now, and more importantly, this place is close to the sea, at the same latitude as Changchun City, Sapporo and other places. But because it is close to the sea, Vladivostok is colder and more humid.

The reason why he came here was naturally because he accidentally obtained information about Kunihiko Ishikawa when he was interrogating Ishikawa Nishihito in Mindanao.

The latter received orders from above and led a small team to secretly go to Moscow to complete a transaction with Moscow.

Unfortunately, Kunihiko Ishikawa did not reveal the specific content of the transaction, but he did reveal one thing, which is a map of a secret military base of the Moscow Alliance near Vladivostok.

Kunihiko Ishikawa didn't know much intelligence information about Moscow. They went to Moscow with the atomic bomb, but were eventually kept in that secret military base for several years.

Moreover, in 1949, an atomic bomb had already been detonated in Moscow, but Kunihiko Ishikawa and his men still did not leave the military base.

I guess it needs to be kept secret.

Later, I don’t know what went wrong in Moscow or what big problems happened on Khrushchev’s side, but they actually let Kunihiko Ishikawa and others leave.

To be precise, it was Kunihiko Ishikawa and his men who escaped.

But the defense of that military base is so strong. If it were possible, Ishikawa Kunihiko and his men would have escaped long ago. Why did they have to wait so many years?
So, the truth must be that it was Moscow that asked them to leave, rather than them escaping.

Regardless of the specifics, Zhao Mancang has already obtained detailed drawings and related information, so of course he has to come here to investigate and teach Moscow a lesson.

Previously, they were overtaken by Qiu Shigui and his men in Mindanao. Later, when they were investigating Ishikawa Nishijin and Yoshioka Dairo in Tokyo, they encountered the KGB, but they escaped by submarine.

As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a third time. This time, Zhao Mancang is determined to teach Moscow a lesson.

Besides, it's almost 1960 now, so he should have done it sooner. Otherwise, he would always be thinking about it and become obsessed with it over time.

After spending a day, Zhao Mancang finally found the location of the military base. It was quite hidden.

Because it is not actually in Vladivostok, but in Fokino, which is some distance away. Moreover, this place is located on the seaside and there are no villages around it. It is indeed very hidden.

Snowflakes were floating in the sky. Zhao Mancang came to the outskirts of the base and prepared to walk around the entire base. However, before he had walked a kilometer, he met a team of five patrol soldiers.

Fortunately, Zhao Mancang reacted quickly and stabilized his body in time, allowing himself to blend completely into the surrounding environment.

In the snow, the best way to hide is naturally to wear white clothes. In this way, outsiders cannot recognize you unless they observe closely.

Only after the team left did Zhao Mancang continue to move forward.

There would be no point in him not to rush to kill this team, so as not to alert the enemy and prevent his sabotage plan from being carried out to its full potential.

After most of the day, Zhao Mancang dodged another team again, finally ending the circling operation of the entire base.

After confirming the size of the base, he was basically sure that Ishikawa Nishijin was not lying.

Ishikawa Nishijin's brother Ishikawa Kunihiko should have escaped from this base. Before running away, he lived here for several years and must be familiar with this place.

Although he did not leak any specific information, Zhao Mancang thought it was worth it just based on the other party's understanding of this place.

Perhaps Kimura does not have the strength to destroy this base for the time being, but as long as Zhao Mancang studies it carefully, there is still a great chance that he can destroy this place.

No matter how hidden it is, when it explodes, it will definitely attract a lot of attention.

Zhao Mancang believed that there must be people from the SAM Intelligence Agency in Vladivostok, and they would definitely pass the news back to SAM's homeland.

As dusk fell, Zhao Mancang calculated the time, dealt with two patrol teams, and then climbed over the wall into the base.

There are also patrol teams throughout the base, which also patrol once every hour.

There were also secret sentries, but these sentries were all huddled in a warm place like spring, drowsy and unaware of Zhao Mancang's arrival.

After all, they have two major lines of defense, the outer perimeter and the inner base, and the secret sentries are actually just the third layer of protection. However, after such a long period of peace, the soldiers are no longer so vigilant.

There is no way. Moscow is too big, and Vladivostok is located in the Sea of ​​Japan. Although its geographical location is special, it is 9,288 kilometers away from the capital Moscow, which is too far away.

Such a long distance, no matter how important it is, it is actually just like this.

Secondly, Moscow is now one of the only two superpowers in the world, and its neighbors are either the two small countries on the peninsula, or Kimura, which poses no threat at all, or the peace-loving University of Tokyo.

Therefore, since there has been peace for a long time, there won't be any trouble in the base. Even if you join the army, it's just to make a living.

Regardless of whether they could make a living or not, Zhao Mancang dealt with all these secret sentries and patrol soldiers one by one.

With the unexpected attack, the entire base was like a girl who was drugged in front of Zhao Mancang, and it was no problem for him to do whatever he wanted.

After defeating those who might ruin his plan, Zhao Mancang went straight to the soldiers' dormitory in the base, confirmed that they were all asleep, and then he went to the weapons storage room.

The defense of the armory was quite strict, with twelve soldiers guarding it, but they were either playing cards or sleeping, and there was not a single one standing guard.

Puff puff!
As Xiao Li's flying dagger was launched, these soldiers died in the northwest before they could even say a word.

When Zhao Mancang takes action, he will not leave any room for maneuver. He will kill the enemy with one blow, very quickly and neatly.

After dealing with these twelve soldiers, Zhao Mancang pushed open the weapons and ammunition in the warehouse, his saliva almost flowing out.

"Fortunately, I had the foresight to reserve some space in the system. Hehe, with so many weapons and ammunition, I won't be short of them next time."

All kinds of standard guns, ammunition, bombs, etc. were collected by Zhao Mancang into the space one by one.

After he emptied the weapons warehouse, he went to clean out the grain warehouse.

Although there are not many supplies in the food warehouse, after all, how much food can all the soldiers in a base eat for several months?
Naturally there are not many.

So Zhao Mancang easily emptied the grain warehouse, and then collected the vehicles such as cars and tanks.

Just as he continued to harvest the harvest, a soldier who had gotten up for the night discovered the missing tank and screamed in shock.

It soon attracted the attention of other soldiers and officers in the dormitory, causing everyone to wake up.

When Zhao Mancang saw this scene, he didn't care about anything else and just took action quickly.

The little pineapple was thrown around casually, and the submachine gun spewed out bullets, reaping lives.

Many of the bombs that had been casually buried in the corners of the dormitory doors and windows were detonated.

Just like that, the entire base was in chaos in an instant, and those who didn't know would think it was under air raid.

As Zhao Mancang threw the last bomb, he quickly escaped from the base amid the flames.

Less than a kilometer out of the base, two 155mm howitzers, with their muzzles aimed at the base, fired directly.

At such a close distance, the probability of the howitzer air-bursting is greater and the killing radius is even more terrifying.

After just over ten shots, the entire base was completely turned into a sea of ​​fire.

After finishing this matter, Zhao Mancang put away the howitzer, walked to the shore in a leisurely manner, and left the place on a speedboat.

In Vladivostok, the director of the KGB branch hurriedly pushed away the delicate hand pressing on his chest and ran out of the bedroom in a hurry.

The sound of knocking on the door outside was very harsh.

After opening the door, the subordinate looked very anxious and reported the situation as quickly as possible. The director's face suddenly changed.

There was a huge explosion at the Fukino base, and it continued. At the same time, it was impossible to contact the base because no one responded.

Bang!
"Check it for me!"

More than an hour later, several leaders from Vladivostok rushed to the vicinity of the Fokino base. Looking at the flames rising into the sky and the devastated base, they were all stunned.

How can this be?

There are almost no survivors!

The most important thing is that there is absolutely no trace of the attacker.

The KGB director was held accountable. After all, they were responsible for intelligence gathering. How could they not have received any news about such a major accident?

This made the director very angry. Why was he blamed again?

This matter is inherently strange. No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with the KGB. The most likely possibility is that the base has provoked some enemy, right?

The people in charge in Vladivostok are blaming each other and are afraid to take responsibility.

In Moscow, the news had also been received. Khrushchev was so angry that he wanted to overturn the table in front of him. However, he was embarrassed because the table did not move and his old waist was injured.

Because the table was too heavy and he was too weak, he pushed too hard and ended up hurting himself.

It's a little funny, but it's not funny at all.

Prokhot Rublev was called to the office for questioning and was asked what was going on.
Because he is the head of the intelligence department of the KGB Moscow headquarters, who else should we ask if not him?

There is no doubt that Rublev didn't know what was going on and hesitantly answered, which made Khrushchev and the KGB chief so angry that they almost vomited blood and died.

"Leonid Mostvoi, I don't care what method you use. Within three days, I want to know the whole story of this incident. I must also know who did this. I will make sure they die without a burial place!"

Leonid was the head of the KGB. When he heard Khrushchev's stern order, he hurriedly responded loudly.

Khrushchev was very angry at the moment, so how could Leonid dare not accept this order?

Compared to the anxiety and anger in Moscow, people like Dwight David in Washington were very happy.

"Haha, God bless us! Such a major incident actually happened in the Moscow Alliance. I wonder what those dead soldiers were doing before they died. How did they get ambushed?"

Deputy monitor Richard Milhouse laughed and said, and number four Robert Anderson also echoed:
"I guess they're all asleep. It's winter in Vladivostok, and it's freezing cold. How could they possibly be staying at their posts?"

Douglas McKay, Frederick Miller, William Summerfield and others all followed suit and expressed their opinions.

The entire White House office was filled with joy at this moment.

As long as they can see something happening in Moscow, they will be very happy, especially when no one knows who did it, it is the most satisfying.

"But, Douglas, have your people found any concrete intelligence? Who was behind this?"

Hearing Dwight David's question, Douglas McKay could only shake his head and immediately put forward his own guess:
"We don't have any relevant intelligence information yet, but based on the tactics used this time, we suspect it has a lot to do with the incident at the Bolshelicinsky camp last year."

"My people immediately questioned Edwin Stewart and Brad Hopkins, who were trapped in the camp and eventually freed by that mysterious person. Based on their statements, there's a 60% chance that this was the work of that mysterious person."

"According to the subsequent intelligence we received, this mysterious man should be the Dong Lord who was buried by the avalanche in the Moscow primeval forest. However, according to the news from the capital, this Dong Lord named Zhao has died and has not been seen in the capital for over a year."

"Zhao's wife has given birth to a daughter, but Zhao still hasn't appeared."

It was winter now and Lin Wan had only been pregnant for a short time, otherwise Douglas McKay might have discovered that this matter was not that simple.

After all, Lin Wan's public image is that of a loyal woman, and she would never have an affair.

After she gave birth to Xiao Taozi in May, she is now pregnant again in December. Isn't this an affair?
If it wasn't an affair, then it was Zhao Mancang's masterpiece, and he didn't die.

Unfortunately, it was much more difficult for Douglas Mackay to obtain news from the capital than the KGB.

Besides, the KGB had given up on tracking down Zhao Mancang, so Sam was even less likely to continue the investigation. Unless there were any more clues, it was unlikely that they would continue the investigation.

"According to the intelligence at the time, and considering it was winter, how could he have survived such a massive avalanche? Is he a god?"

Frederick Miller couldn't help but retort, and William Summerfield echoed his agreement.

Neither of them thought that Zhao Mancang could survive in such an environment.

That was an avalanche. Human beings are very small in the face of the mighty power of nature.

Dwight David also shook his head:

"Douglas, if there's no actual evidence, don't try to mislead us in the future. Even if that Oriental guy really did survive, could he really take on the entire military base on his own?"

Everyone shook their heads immediately, obviously not thinking that Zhao Mancang could do it.

As the general who commanded the Normandy Landing and the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in World War II, Dwight David certainly knew how impregnable a military base was.

Unless Zhao Mancang is a god, how could he destroy a military base alone?
"Okay, Mr. Monitor, I understand. I will investigate this matter as soon as possible."

Douglas McKay nodded with a slightly embarrassed look and agreed.

Even though he himself didn't think it was Zhao Mancang, when faced with such a thing, he could only make excuses for the time being. He couldn't just say he knew nothing, right?
In fact, Vladivostok is too remote a place, and Douglas McKay did not expect such a tragic accident to happen there.

According to the telegram sent back by SAM Intelligence Agency's agents in Vladivostok, the entire base was almost razed to the ground, suspected to have been hit by more than ten shells from 155mm howitzers, and many small pineapples also exploded.

In short, the situation in the entire base was extremely tragic. Before Douglas McKay attended the meeting, no news had been received from Vladivostok about whether there were any soldiers alive in the base.

"Okay, let's talk about the rutile incident from the past. Douglas, you still haven't figured out who the mysterious person selling rutile is?"

Following Dwight David's words, the entire office fell silent, and the smiles on everyone's faces instantly faded.

Because the rutile incident had a huge impact, those of them sitting in the office had heard about it more than once.

Previously, Crook from the Los Angeles branch of SAM Intelligence Agency and Messner, the former head of the rutile refinery, joined forces to capture the mysterious man.

As a result, they failed to catch the opponent several times. Instead, Sam suffered heavy losses, and even Messner ended up with lifelong disability.

Johnson Upton, who later became the head of the rutile refinery, was also unable to do anything to the mysterious man.

On the contrary, Francis, an arms dealer in San Francisco, was able to successfully complete transactions with the mysterious man one after another. However, the huge amount of money involved made even Dwight David, the squad leader of Sam, jealous.

For example, the last time, it involved a huge cash transaction of 7090 billion US dollars, which actually also included Scorpion fighter jets, IBM all-transistor computers, simplified uranium hexafluoride production processes, neutron diffractors and other materials, equipment and technologies.

However, even after throwing out these baits, they still couldn't track down the mysterious man. It was as if he could take away all the baits in an instant and disappear without a trace.

You know, when Francis was making a deal with the other party, there were many Foboles and policemen waiting on all the roads in the outer area.

In addition, the latest high-tech pursuit equipment was installed on Scorpion fighter jets, IBM7090 computers and other equipment, but the result was undoubtedly that all clues were lost.

After the transaction was completed, the mysterious man disappeared out of thin air.

Encountering such a strange thing, Dwight David personally took charge of the matter and gave the final order to Douglas McKay and Ovetta Strauss, requiring them to find the person during the next transaction.

Because next time, they will give out more bait, and at the same time, the mysterious man will take out more rutile.

"Sir, we haven't found any relevant evidence yet, nor have we found the whereabouts or traces of the mysterious person."

Douglas chose his words, then tried to shift the blame to Ovita Strauss of Sam Forbes' department.

"In fact, in the many battles we've fought in the past, we've cooperated with the Fobole Division, but to no avail. The firepower support wasn't enough, and the mysterious individual was too agile. We had no solution at all."

"As for the last $1.14 billion transaction, it was clearly the same address, with no changes. However, we couldn't track down any useful information near the town of Los Barros because we were over ten kilometers away."

"The Fobole department has confronted him face to face before, such as at the Los Angeles warehouse and the rutile refinery. Unfortunately, they were unable to provide us with more information about the mysterious individual, leaving us unable to..."

Such obvious blame-shifting behavior, coupled with excessive exaggeration of the mysterious man's words, made Ovita Strauss very dissatisfied and interrupted him:

"Douglas, don't try to shift the blame. I don't need to elaborate on how powerful the mysterious man is."

"The most crucial point is the incompetence of your intelligence agency. There was no early warning, and no interception of relevant intelligence."

"Over 50,000 tons of rutile in the warehouse of the Avisma Magnesium-Titanium Factory in Moscow disappeared overnight. Your intelligence agency still has no reasonable explanation for this incident."

"You're still blaming the KGB for not finding any relevant information. Haha, I really don't understand. Are those people Gods? Are they all gods? Otherwise, how could they possibly transport over 50,000 tons of rutile in just one night?"

Douglas McKay immediately started arguing with the other party, and for a while the only sounds in the office were the two of them arguing.

In fact, it was not a quarrel, they were just blaming each other, and both thought that the other had not contributed much.

Dwight David listened for a while, then gave Richard Milhouse a look, who immediately understood and spoke up to stop the two quarreling people.

It was almost 1960, which meant that a new round of elections for Washington's squad leader was about to begin.

As the deputy squad leader, Richard Milhouse certainly wanted to become a regular, and Dwight David was more supportive of him. After all, the two sides had worked together for almost eight years and were very satisfied with Richard Milhouse, the youngest deputy squad leader in North American history.

Therefore, as he neared retirement, Dwight David was happy to pave the way for Richard Milhouse.

After the office quieted down, Dwight spoke:
"Alright, I don't care how you two cooperate. I only care about the results. I don't want that mysterious person to take away those top-secret weapons, equipment, technology, and money from us again!"

After hearing this, Douglas and the other man looked miserable, but they had no choice but to agree.

No matter what, not being punished is already a very good ending.

You know, the mysterious man Zhao Mancang has taken away a lot of gold, US dollar cash, atomic bomb-related equipment and technology, fighter jets, computers, etc. from North America. These are things that cannot be taken away.

Unfortunately, in order to capture Zhao Mancang and even to lure out the forces behind Zhao Mancang, they have spared no expense.

More importantly, the significance behind the more than 50,000 tons of rutile is even more extraordinary.

Dwight David will not be able to see Washington surpass Moscow, but Richard Milhouse and others will definitely be able to see that scene.

If titanium metal extracted from rutile can be used on the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft, then Washington will be invincible in the field of reconnaissance aircraft in the future.

The main reason is that they tasted the sweetness of the U2 reconnaissance aircraft, also known as the Lady Dragon, so they spared no effort and spared no expense to develop the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft.

Only by taking a comprehensive lead over the Moscow Alliance can Washington have a chance of defeating them.

"By the way, have the geologists found any information about rutile ore in our country?"

Hearing Dwight David's words, the person in charge, William Summerfield, said quickly:

"Sir, we've been urging them to follow up, but we haven't received any relevant information yet. We've also repeatedly urged the neighboring Maple Leaf Country."

Ugh!
With a light sigh, everyone in the office became dejected. This was indeed a rather tricky problem.

If a large amount of rutile ore cannot be found in North America, then we can only pin our hopes on that mysterious man. If that doesn't work, we can only find another way from Moscow.

But unless it is absolutely necessary, no one wants to go to Moscow to talk about rutile.

After all, the more than 50,000 tons of rutile that were previously swept away by Zhao Mancang had already attracted the attention of Khrushchev and others. At this time, it was almost wishful thinking to want to dig rutile from Moscow and then transport it back to North America.

Not to mention what was happening in the White House in Washington, Zhao Mancang had already arrived in North America again.

In the small town of Medford, Oregon, Zhao Mancang must not be too relaxed at the moment.

After presenting a beautiful fireworks display to the Fokino base in Vladivostok, he returned to Lingguang County, took the clothes and other goods, and came directly to North America.

After arriving in North America, Zhao Mancang inspected the situation of Mario Airlines, airport construction, passenger aircraft development, etc., as well as the preparations for the construction of Wanjia Supermarket.

The construction of Medford Airport is relatively slow. As we all know, the construction speed on Sam's side is extremely slow.

So Zhao Mancang would not have any expectations.

The development of passenger aircraft has just begun, and the technical personnel are still in the gathering and running-in stage. If we want to move on to the next step of research and development, we have to wait a while.

Isn't Boeing currently developing the Boeing 707 passenger aircraft? Zhao Mancang thinks this type of aircraft is also very good, but in the North American market and even the global market, the best-selling civil airliners are still short-haul and medium-haul aircraft.

The speed should be within 1,000 kilometers per hour. The passenger aircraft's ceiling altitude is in the stratosphere at around 10,000 meters, and the maximum flight distance is about 6,000 to 7,000 kilometers.

Based on the above basic framework, we can develop passenger aircraft that meet the needs of different market segments. The most important thing is that the aircraft should be fuel-efficient, have spacious seats and be comfortable enough. In short, all aircraft should be developed from the perspective of airline operations.

As for Wanjia Supermarket, the store is simple, but the key issue is the supply of goods.

Snacks and beverages are relatively simple. For the time being, we can just find suppliers from North America and focus on low prices. If that doesn't work, we can acquire these processing plants ourselves.

Non-food products, including cleaning supplies, stationery, toys, cosmetics, etc., can only be supplied in part for the time being, because these products are still being produced at Todai and have not yet been produced.

The next category is household items, clothing and shoes, books and magazines, etc. These certainly cannot be displayed completely on the shelves at the beginning, but they must be as complete as possible. Well, most of them have been transported to the warehouse at Medford Airport, so you can go there and pick up the goods directly.

The last category is fresh fruits and vegetables and processed food. This category is very different from the snacks and beverages mentioned above because they have a shorter shelf life.

Prepared food, such as fried chicken, fried noodles, braised food and other fast food, must be available, but only on the same day. If left overnight, they will not taste good.

The same goes for fresh fruits and vegetables, so for now we can only purchase from Sam's Club.

Zhao Mancang’s opinion on this is naturally to purchase a farm near Wanjia Supermarket and then directly supply the supermarket, but this takes time.

If the investment is huge, this is not a big problem. You can always make it back slowly.

After issuing his orders, Zhao Mancang no longer cared about it. Professional managers were able to handle all matters well.

Unfortunately, the number of staff in Wanjia Supermarket is not increasing rapidly, so Zhao Mancang needs to wait if he wants to earn more experience points.

Relying on robbing Moscow and Washington to earn experience points will not last long. Industries such as Wanjia Supermarket and Mario Airlines are one of his retreat routes in North America, and "Women's Wear" is another retreat route.

The same applies to industries in Hong Kong and Kowloon.

This is his current plan. Zhao Mancang is not sure whether everything will go according to the plan.

But he will definitely work hard for it.

At Stanford University, Zhao Mancang drove away, leaving behind a resentful Zhuang Xiaoting.

After happily earning some experience points, Zhao Mancang began to prepare for the next transaction.

He had already confirmed this deal with Francis last time. For a huge deal of 10,000 tons of rutile, the price needed to be negotiated first.

At that time, Zhao Mancang didn't have time to chat with the other party, so he only decided on a transaction quantity of about 10,000 tons of rutile, but did not determine the price.

The second thing is the items to be traded. The F104 supersonic fighter jet that was not obtained last time will definitely be on the trading list this time.

There are nuclear submarines, but the first generation of nuclear submarines, the Nautilus nuclear submarine, is the world's first nuclear-powered submarine. It was launched in 1954 and cost 55 million US dollars to build. It was sold to Zhao Mancang for a direct price of 350 million US dollars.

The atomic bomb was too destructive, so Francis did not agree at the time because he thought it was unlikely.

On a hill near the small town of Los Barros, this is not the same place as last time, but a new one.

When Zhao Mancang arrived, Francis and the others had not arrived yet.

He buried several bombs near the hilltop and even set up several traps, which were all gifts prepared just in case.

Although he and Francis have conducted several transactions, they still need to be on guard.

Soon, Francis arrived and hugged and exchanged pleasantries with Zhao Mancang warmly. Everything was as usual, as if nothing was different.

After all, they were only here to discuss the details of the transaction today, so there was no tension. Zhao Mancang did not notice any tricks from the other party, so he relaxed a little.

“My friend, your price is too high.”

When Francis heard the price offered by Zhao Mancang, he exclaimed in surprise, it was indeed too expensive.

Ten thousand tons of rutile, such a large quantity, but the price is still maintained at 20,000 ounces per ton, which is too expensive.

Zhao Mancang heard this and waited for the other party to finish speaking before speaking:

"Perhaps you don't know this, but I've researched it. It takes at least two years to ship rutile from Moscow to Los Angeles, and the price is roughly equivalent to 40,000 ounces of gold per ton. So, my asking price is 20,000 ounces, which isn't expensive at all."

Francis's expression changed when he heard this.

Having been in contact with rutile for such a long time, Francis has also learned a lot of information about rutile through his own channels.

There are no rutile-related mines in the entire North American continent. It seems that this thing is only found in Moscow.

Francis also learned that more than 50,000 tons of rutile were lost in Moscow. Although this information cost him 50,000 US dollars, it was worth it.

In other words, there is a 99% probability that the rutile in Zhao Mancang's hands was stolen from Moscow.

Therefore, these rutiles have almost no cost for Zhao Mancang, but even so, he still wants to sell them for 20,000 ounces of gold per ton. Isn't that a bit too much?

Twenty thousand ounces of gold per ton, ten thousand tons of rutile is two hundred million ounces of gold. At the current price of thirty-eight US dollars per ounce, that is seventy-six billion US dollars.

It’s so fucking expensive!

"Francis, you should know that our previous price was 30,000 ounces of gold. This time I've lowered it a lot, it's quite a discount."

After a pause, Zhao Mancang continued:

"If the price is really high, then we can cancel this deal and wait until you agree."

After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave.

He really had the other party under his control. Anyway, he was not in a hurry at all. When it came to acting, he had to act it out completely.

Even if rutile ore has really been found in North America, he will not panic. At most, he can sell the rutile to Moscow, Great Britain, or Deke.

Anyway, there are always people who know what’s good.

(End of this chapter)
