Paving the Way with Money

Chapter 41: Paving the Way with Money

Kovalevitch immediately revealed his identity!

"I am Kovalevitch, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Mao Xiong Country Far East Fleet. Davai, it's a pleasure to meet you here."

After stating his identity, Kovalevitch became filled with pride.

"Davai, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Lin Chenran feigned great surprise.

In reality, he had known Kovalevitch's identity for a long time. Otherwise, why would he have arranged to meet him at this tavern!

A chance encounter?

No, no, no! This was all part of Lin Chenran's plan from the beginning.

Now that everyone had revealed their identities, it was time to discuss cooperation.

Kovalevitch got straight to the point: "Lin, what collateral do you need?"

"As long as it doesn't involve national security items, I can help you solve it."

Kovalevitch was incredibly generous, as if he could solve anything.

"Kovalevitch, you know that although our 077 Machinery Military Factory retains its military production and manufacturing credentials, we have actually transformed into a manufacturer of civilian engineering vehicles."

"This means we need a large number of chassis to support our business development."

"In addition, we also need some Special Steel Material to meet our production needs."

"These items are very important to us, so I hope you can help us out."

Lin Chenran's words caused Kovalevitch to fall into deep thought.

He understood that the requirements Lin Chenran proposed were not easy to fulfill.

After a moment, Lin Chenran spoke again, smiling, "Kovalevitch, I'm not looking for your Mao Xiong Country's advanced chassis technology, but rather I want to cooperate with you in handling those scrapped and decommissioned tanks."

"As long as their power systems can still operate normally, I am willing to exchange or use them as collateral in various ways."

"This way, you can not only earn profits but also solve a part of the problem of disposing of old materials."

Kovalevitch's eyes lit up upon hearing this. He began to consider the feasibility of the proposal.

After all, a large number of tanks in Mao Xiong Country were scrapped and decommissioned every year, and if these discarded resources could be utilized properly, it would bring enormous economic benefits.

Lin Chenran continued to explain, "Furthermore, the steel used on the decommissioned ships of your Far East Fleet is also a superior Special Steel Material."

"We can recycle it and reforge it. Even if it cannot be fully restored to military standards, its quality will still be better than the commonly available civilian steel on the market."

"This material can significantly help improve the quality of our products."

Kovalevitch nodded. He realized that this cooperation might bring him substantial returns.

Of course, he was also aware of the inherent risks.

While the other party was thinking, Lin Chenran reminded him, "To ensure the smooth progress of the transaction, you will need to grease the wheels with the higher-ups."

"This involves a large amount of scrapped resources. If not properly arranged, it could cause unnecessary trouble."

"As long as you can handle these issues, our cooperation will become much smoother."

Kovalevitch expressed his understanding, knowing full well the difficulties involved.

However, faced with such an enticing business opportunity, he was determined to do his best to gain the support of his superiors.

"Pave the way with money!!!"

The power of money is infinite!

No one can resist the "temptation" of money!

Someone might say: I can resist the temptation of money!

That only means one thing: they haven't received enough money. If given enough money, most people would undoubtedly fall at the feet of money and become its slaves.

The higher-ups in Mao Xiong Country were also very troubled by so many scrapped tanks and warships.

Because their quantity was too enormous.

To everyone's surprise!

Mao Xiong Country needed to dispatch troops to guard them.

They also had to prevent some unscrupulous individuals from using these discarded weapons to threaten national security.

Now, Lin Chenran was willing to take over these scrapped and decommissioned tanks and warships and transport them all back to Yan Country.

This would not only dispose of this useless junk but also earn a considerable profit.

It was simply a plan to kill two birds with one stone!

As for whether Lin Chenran truly intended to convert these scrapped tanks into civilian engineering vehicles?

Did that even matter?

Of course, it's not important!

Even if Yan Country's military wanted to reactivate these scrapped, retired tanks and warships.

The higher-ups of Mao Xiong Country would only laugh even harder.

After all, they still had more advanced tanks in their hands that could easily crush any opponent.

If Yan Country's military tried to use Mao Xiong's discarded tanks to fight against Mao Xiong, there would only be one outcome – being ruthlessly crushed by Mao Xiong!

This is like the birthday star hanging himself (eating arsenic) – he's just tired of living.

Striking a deal with Lin Chenran was undoubtedly a win-win situation, not only beneficial to himself but also without any negative consequences.

Kovalevitch was impatient by nature. After finishing a bottle of Vodka, he eagerly pulled Lin Chenran away from the Red Romance Tavern, explicitly stating that Lin Chenran could only bring one person along.

Since Kovalevitch had made such a request, Lin Chenran naturally had no choice but to comply.

He had already guessed where Kovalevitch would take him.

"Brother Yi, you come with me!"

"Everyone else, go back to the hotel first!"

Lin Chenran gave He Yi a look, and the latter immediately understood.

Afterward, Most of the people who had followed Lin Chenran to Mao Xiong Country departed. Only he and He Yi followed closely behind Kovalevitch.

Before long, Kovalevitch brought them to the Mao Xiong Far East Fleet's camp.

Entering the Mao Xiong Far East Fleet's stationed area.

Along the way, soldiers from the Far East Fleet saluted Kovalevitch.

And Kovalevitch returned their salutes.

"Kovalevitch, I really didn't expect to meet high-ranking officials in the Mao Xiong military so soon after arriving in Mao Xiong."

"This is my good fortune."

Lin Chenran praised repeatedly.

Upon hearing this, Kovalevitch's face clearly broke into a bright smile.

Kovalevitch had already arranged for a helicopter.

"Lin, my friend, please bear with the inconvenience for a moment."

Kovalevitch repeatedly apologized.

After all, Lin Chenran was Kovalevitch's honored guest right now.

Lin Chenran looked at the Mi-26 helicopter before him and waved his hand, indicating it was fine.

Kovalevitch was able to arrange for a Mi-26 helicopter to transport Lin Chenran and the others to the place where the tanks were retired and scrapped.

"Kovalevitch, my friend, you're too kind."

"Using a Mi-26 helicopter to take us there."

Lin Chenran put on an envious expression.

Then Lin Chenran gave a brief overview of the Mi-26 helicopter.

The Mi-26 helicopter is currently the heaviest and largest operational helicopter in the world.

The Mi-26 helicopter was designed and developed by the Russian Mil Design Bureau.

It made its maiden flight on December 14, 1977, and entered service in 1980.

Kovalevitch thought to himself, "As expected..."
