C868 Strategy
That year, in 1944, when World War II was coming to an end, 44 representatives gathered in the Breton Forest in Y Country. Some of the countries that attended the meeting signed the Breton Forest Agreement the next year.
The core of the international economic system had changed from gold to US dollars. At that time, Eagle Yuan had 75% of the support that World Gold had prepared. Y Country had more than 20 billion Eagle Yuan in gold, but its debt was less than 10 billion Eagle Yuan. It could be said to be at its peak.
The core of this system was Eagle Yuan becoming the world's currency. The currencies of various countries were connected to Eagle Yuan, and Eagle Yuan was connected to gold.
The official price of 35 dollars per ounce was maintained at a stable level. This way, hawk dollars would have the same status as gold.
This would also facilitate the economic development of the world, and countries would use the Eagle Dollar to pay for their exports and exports.
Unfortunately, such a system was destined to not last for long. In 1967. The Y Country had sunk into the quagmire of monkey wars. The huge financial deficit had impacted the reputation of Ying Yuan many times. Therefore, all the countries started to sell their Ying Yuan and crazily fought for gold. As the war went deeper, the worsening of the financial situation of Y Country finally triggered the crisis of Ying Yuan.
On August 15th, 1971, the president of Y Country, Nike Song, made a speech on TV. He closed the gold window and stopped all the governments and central banks from using Eagle Yuan to exchange for gold.
Like this, Eagle Yuan broke free from the prison of gold and floated freely in the foreign exchange market. Next, the price of gold skyrocketed like a wild horse.
In 1972, the price of gold rose from 1 ounce 46 Eagle Yuan to 64 Eagle Yuan.
In 1973, the price of gold exceeded 100 yuan.
In 1978, crude oil soared to 30 yuan per barrel, and the price of gold rose to 244 yuan.
In 1979, the gold price rose to 500 dollars. This year, on March 12, the Y Country Business Weekly was published with tears streaming down the face of the Statue of Liberty. The title was The Fall of Y Country.
The current gold was still around 500 yuan. Although it did not continue to rise, this price was already quite high. Hence, according to the exchange rate, a few dozen tons of gold would be enough to pay for this transaction.
To Qin Guan, a single exchange was equivalent to over a hundred tons of gold. The gold from the previous exchange was still useless. This time, he would exchange another few hundred tons of gold. It would be enough for the national treasury to be abundant. At the same time, he could use gold to settle the transaction.
Therefore, when Qin Guan mentioned this transaction, he didn't feel any pressure in his heart. However, the other Navy Officer present was different.
Their eyes were filled with desire as they looked at the structure of the support-level submarine. They hoped that they could equip it now, but at the same time, they knew the financial strength of the country. Could they buy these killing machines for the navy? After all, the air force had spent a huge amount of money to bring in those Male Cat Fighter!
Now that Qin Guan had agreed to it, it was not necessarily guaranteed that it would pass. After all, the country still had the final say in the end.
General Wuhuade was already extremely happy. During this period of time, he had been trying his best to promote the ___. Now, the other party was finally willing to place the order.
As long as the other party paid the money, the profit earned from it would be enough to build 12 submarines for Cattle Navy.
Supporter submarines originally had 12 submarines. Even so, it was still not enough to replace the submarines one by one. In history, because the financial situation of Cattle Country was not good, only four submarines were built.
Now, the Han people was finally willing to spend a large sum of money to buy it. It was simply a huge result of their own exports!
That night, the people of Cattle Country held a huge banquet to welcome the representatives of Han Country. Until late at night, when the banquet ended, they returned to the embassy. General Zhao then said to Qin Guan, "President Qin, isn't it too hasty for us to agree to the price of the people of Cattle Country today?"
They did not bargain, but the other party was demanding an exorbitant price, and they actually agreed to it. This did not conform to Qin Guan's style at all. The price was so expensive, even more expensive than the construction of their own nuclear submarine. After all, the price of their own nuclear submarine was not even 500 million. This way, we can spend a lot of money to buy a normal powered submarine. Was it worth it?
"It's not cheap in any country." Qin Guan said, "If we don't choose this supporter level, then we can only choose level 209 from Hans Country. The other side will need hundreds of millions to sell this submarine to us. Furthermore, the drainage of this submarine is insufficient. "
Why did Qin Guan fall in love with the supporter level? This is a large voyage submarine, it has 2,400 tons of drainage! And what about level 209? The current model only had a displacement of 1,200 tons, and the later model only had 1,800 tons.
With a large displacement, the submarine would be able to load even more equipment. The longer it lasted, the easier it would be for voyage battles. After all, with the standards of the Han Country, it was impossible to equip a large number of nuclear submarines. The Conventional Submarine was a good choice.
At the same time, with a large displacement, the potential of modification would be greater. It would also be convenient to install the AIP module and become an advanced AIP submarine.
Qin Guan's reason was very sufficient. When everyone heard this, they all nodded their heads. When they saw the introduction of this submarine during the day, they had already taken a liking to it. However, the price was too much. What Qin Guan said made sense. They were still worried. "Will the higher ups agree with such a high price?"
"If we want to buy technology, we can't do it without paying a high price. Every sub-system is our weakness. We need to buy all of its technology. Then, when we start building it ourselves, the cost will naturally be split up. And, after that, we can also export the submarine. We can earn back what we invested today."
Qin Guan was not involved in all kinds of matters. He was also thinking about the North Industrial Company. Exit the fighter aircraft. Exit the submarine and the Water Surface Ship. It was also another huge income project. Their technology was not advanced. How could they be sold?
Now it was time to pay tuition!1
Everyone nodded. Since President Qin had already said the reason, they hoped that at the meeting when they returned, they would be able to move their superiors and complete the transaction.
"Underwater has always been our weak link. If we want to catch up, we can only buy it from overseas." Qin Guan said, "Tomorrow, we still have to go and see the anti-submarine machine. This is also an important part to make up for our shortcoming."
Han Country's technology was outdated, and their ability to detect underwater submarines was even weaker. In the later generations, it was only in the 1990s when they bought advanced sonar technology and helicopters from Chicken Country that they made a breakthrough.
When they bought it from Chicken Country, it was even more expensive. Only Chicken Country was willing to sell it because the other Western Countries was punishing Han Country.
Now, taking advantage of the Honeymoon Period!
Of course, Qin Guan still had another reason not to say it out loud. As long as he imported these technologies, he could hide it. In the future, he could exchange all kinds of retired advanced submarines from the Weapon Graveyard.
It was worth it to spend this bit of money now!
One stone counted birds. Qin Guan was a strategist. When had he ever suffered a loss?
