Ning An's Wild Wish System

”A wolf in sheep’s clothing! A wolf in sheep’s clothing!”

If it were the previous two conditions, Wang Division could grit their teeth and take the lead in negotiating.

But the last condition laid out directly shows they don’t take Dragon Country seriously!

The Bei Dou System is Dragon Country’s top-secret technology. If he truly agreed, Wang Maocai would be the number one criminal in Dragon Country’s history!

Wang Maocai was furious: ”Absolutely impossible, I’d rather die!”

”There’s no negotiating this matter, even if we bite, Dragon Country can chew this bone ourselves!”

Hearing this, Li Jianye sighed a long breath of relief and said, ”Alright, I’ll go tell them now.”

After hanging up the phone, Wang Maocai was silent, gripping the phone tightly, veins protruding.

After calming down slightly, he glanced at the faxed data, picked up the landline, and dialed Lin Hai’s number.

In just one week’s time, Dragon Country’s latest third aircraft carrier is set to be launched.

No need to say much, when Dragon Country launched its first aircraft carrier: Disputes were set aside, co-development.

But by the time of the second aircraft carrier: Since ancient times... don’t say we didn’t warn you!

Now, as Dragon Country is about to enter the three-carrier era, it’s hard to imagine how neighboring countries will react.

This historic moment will surely be in the spotlight.

But if we can’t sort out the aircraft carrier arresting cables, launching new aircraft with the carrier would not just be embarrassing.

After a while, the phone rang, and Wang Maocai took a deep breath before saying:

”Old Lin, we have news about the aircraft carrier arresting cables that meet our needs.”

Lin Hai, who was just about to sit down, jumped up in shock and said:

”What? So soon! Didn’t they say tomorrow?”

Wang Maocai, somewhat puzzled, explained: ”What tomorrow? It’s from Yingjiang’s side, they have the carrier arresting cables we need.”

”Their force can reach 3 million newtons, basically meeting our highest expectations.”

Hearing Wang Maocai’s refutation, Lin Hai slightly exhaled.

After all, it’s terrifying to think that a wish could be fulfilled so quickly.

But after listening to Wang Maocai’s words, Lin Hai’s heart was on edge again:

”Don’t joke with me, 3 million newtons? Even Yingjiang’s own navy isn’t equipped with such things.”

Wang Maocai’s voice carried a hint of bitterness: ”This is not a joke.”

”Jianye and a few young men personally verified it.”

The atmosphere instantly fell silent.

Time ticked by, and after an unknown period, Lin Hai finally spoke hoarsely:

”Sorry, Old Wang, I’ve temporarily tackled this issue.”

Wang Maocai sighed, ”What’s it got to do with you? Our development was already late, it’s normal to be inferior, don’t take it to heart.”

”Besides, I’m the Minister of Technology. If apologies are needed, I should apologize to the entire nation.”

Lin Hai’s previously straight back began to stoop, and he murmured: ”How about we conduct another bidding round among civilian enterprises, there might be opportunities.”

Wang Maocai shook his head: ”Civil technology companies aim for quick profits. Projects like aircraft carrier arresting cables, which are slow in development and not necessarily profitable, are generally ignored by enterprises.”

Lin Hai thought about it and nodded: ”Yes, indeed.”

But suddenly, a strong thought appeared in his mind.

”Old Wang, what if we broaden the scope, no longer limiting ourselves to large tech companies, but instead, issue a notification to all Dragon Country tech companies? Could there be surprises?”

Wang Maocai looked at the data, gritting his teeth: ”Let’s do just that!”

”At worst, we’ll rely on previous combat strength. Our ancestors dared to face guns with swords; with such great conditions now, there’s no reason for us to back down now!”

On the other side, at the Yingjiang Ministry of Defense, Li Jianye firmly expressed refusal.

Andre was not surprised by this.

Andre leisurely lit a cigar, his eyes distant: ”My dear friend, I know Dragon Country values integrity above all, but you can’t eat dignity.”

”Without our aircraft carrier arresting cables, your new fighters can’t be deployed on carriers.”

”What? Are you going to follow in your ancestors’ footsteps, using ships as cannonballs to ram others?”

Hearing this, Li Jianye’s face turned colder, but he restrained his anger: ”We came with the utmost sincerity, but your conditions are increasingly excessive; even a clay figure has some temper!”

The cigar ash flicked into the ashtray as Andre took a deep breath.

He knew well that these three conditions would never be accepted by Dragon Country.

Especially targeting the Bei Dou System, there’s no way they’d agree.

But Andre never expected them to agree to these terms, it was purely to irritate Dragon Country.

It’s like haggling in a market; the back-and-forth is the real essence.

Andre flashed a sly smile: ”Let’s change directions, we’ll withdraw the third condition.”

”One aircraft carrier arresting cable, 20 million US Dollars unchanged, but an additional half-ton of rare earth per cable, how about it?”

Li Jianye’s expression remained unchanged, calmly saying: ”Sir, you seem to misunderstand me; Dragon Country has been different since its founding.”

Andre waved his hand dismissively, chuckling twice: ”Friend, I didn’t mean that.”

”How about this, we’ll take another step back; one aircraft carrier arresting cable, 15 million US Dollars, one and a half tons of rare earth, that’s our bottom line.”

Li Jianye deliberated for a moment and nodded: ”We need to inspect the product first.”

”No problem.” The cigar traced an arc in the air as Andre laughed, making a broad gesture: ”I’ll send you one first, feel free to inspect it.”

”After all, this kind of technology, even with a sample, isn’t something other countries can crack in just a few days, hahahaha.”

...

By evening.

Countless Internet users flocked to leave curious check-ins and comments.

”Whoa... isn’t that Academician Lin? He gave a fantastic lecture at our school before, too bad I fell asleep.”

”Look, this is our university students, such academic giants give lectures and they can’t even listen properly, it’s infuriating!”

”Come on, the academician visits C9 universities, you, a junior college student, have no right to be angered.”

”Tomorrow, that Korea’s Han Xiuxian is coming to Z City, as a follower of the Evil God Cult, I can’t watch Brother Sect Leader being wronged, any good brothers want to join me for a real-life PUBG?”

”Alright, alright, I’ll get the info and confirm his whereabouts.”

”Count me in...”
