"The weapon system of Datong's multi-functional fighter aircraft has a very wide coverage, and it can completely match the J-IX, a fighter aircraft developed for military needs. Hehe" Old Jack touched his white beard and smiled sinisterly. Laughing: "After matching the weapon system of the multi-functional fighter, the firepower output can fully meet the needs. Coupled with the excellent maneuverability of the J-IX, it may be stronger than the current FV model of the Federation!"
Angus once served in the Pluto Flying Group and flew multi-functional fighters in actual combat with Federation fighters, so he is very aware of the advantages and disadvantages between the two types of aircraft. In terms of firepower output, the multifunctional fighter is indeed no less than a federal fighter. However, other reasons such as engine defects and a bloated body limit the air combat capabilities of the Datong multifunctional fighter. However, if the aircraft body is replaced by the J-IX with excellent performance and coupled with the powerful firepower output system of a multi-functional fighter, then all problems will be solved.
"Old man, you are such a fucking genius!" Angus, who was beaming with joy at this wonderful prospect, gave Old Jack a thumbs up sincerely.
"That's" Old Jack, who likes to hear flattery, happily lit a cigar for himself.
"If it is this level of transformation, the dock in the space station may not be enough"
But Robin¡¯s words immediately made the smiles on Angus and Old Jack¡¯s faces freeze.
The dock Robin was talking about is a ship parts production line left over from the Octopus Space Station. It can produce some simple general parts on its own for daily maintenance of ships.
For the daily maintenance of the ship, this simple dock is absolutely sufficient, but if the J-IX space shuttle purchased is to be modified according to Old Jack's ideas, then this dock will obviously not meet the requirements.
"Damn it, why did I forget this!"
After patting his forehead hard, Old Jack hurriedly opened his personal computer and flipped through the list of machine tools that he had copied while visiting the machinery market.
After a while, an old machine tool that had been eliminated by Alex Machinery Company came into Old Jack's sight.
Alex Machinery Company is mainly engaged in the production of various parts and machinery maintenance. Due to its close relationship with the military, it can obtain a large number of orders from the military all year round. This has resulted in Alex Machinery Company having many machine tools that specialize in the maintenance of military equipment. . The machine tool Old Jack selected was an old machine tool that had been eliminated by Alex Machinery Company, and could barely meet the production of parts needed for modification.
Now, after all the items to be purchased are calculated together, the dense list is simply dazzling, and the total price calculated has obviously exceeded Robin's existing total funds.
The financial constraints on hand made Robin plan to cut down some expenses, but after discussing for a long time, everyone found that everything was a necessity, and no item was indispensable. Helpless, Robin could only bring Caesar back to discuss how to deal with the current overspending situation.
Originally, Robin came to Caesar to ask him to try his best to suppress the price, but Caesar, a business consultant, came up with another idea that Robin had never thought of, asking the Federal Bank for a loan.
Robin and his group of proletarians from the Nine-Star Datong Country are all business idiots. Naturally, they do not understand the sophisticated business operation model of loans. After Nishizawa's detailed explanation, Robin finally understood that the loan was actually borrowing money from the Federal Bank and then paying part of the interest to the bank.
Robin has the permanent right of residence in the Proxima Northern Star Territory, so Robin himself has the authority to borrow money from the Federal Bank, and after establishing Roche Logistics Company, Robin signed an agreement with Martina's Byron Heavy Metal Trading Company A huge contract with a total capital of 100 million. Based on Robin's own authority and this contract, he can even obtain a one-time loan of about 50 million federal coins from the Federal Bank at most.
Of course, the interest paid for a one-time loan of so much money is also quite high. But Robin and the others don't care. They don't plan to live in the Federation for a lifetime anyway, so pursuing immediate interests comes first. Therefore, after asking Caesar about the relevant procedures for applying for a loan, Robin immediately handed over all these matters to Caesar.
With a large amount of cash in hand, Robin and the others further expanded their shopping goals, adding all the things they had previously abandoned due to financial problems to the shopping list, preparing to build the Octopus Space Station in one go.
Robin's large-scale purchase this time is definitely no less sensational than a nine-magnitude earthquake for the second-hand trading market of Hermes Spaceport. Because??Hermes Spaceport, the second-hand trading market can be said to be the lowest-end trading market. The customers it targets are basically free citizens with no money, as well as small-scale mercenary teams active in the Northern Star Territory. Therefore, it is difficult to have shocking large-scale transactions in the second-hand trading market that deals with poor customers.
But this time, Robin, a major customer, invested 57 million federal coins in the second-hand trading market at one time. In a sweeping move, they acquired eight J-IX space shuttles, 50 "Thor" surface-to-air multi-warhead missiles, 30 "Trident" ship-based missiles, and 400 "Meteor" short-range aircraft that had been hoarded in the second-hand trading market for a long time. It has airborne missiles, 80 "Sparrow" medium-range airborne missiles, 76 "Sidewinder" long-range airborne missiles, as well as various aviation cannons, ten surface-to-air rotating turrets and a large number of infantry weapons.
In addition to their large fortunes in the arms market, Robin and his group also purchased a variety of electronic equipment, machine tools, various parts, ecological equipment, and a complete set of solar energy supply devices.
Judging from the items and types that Robin purchased, spending 57 million does not seem to be much. Among the large transactions in the second ring of the spaceport, similar transactions often amount to hundreds of millions. However, this is the first time in the history of the Hermes Spaceport that such a transaction volume has occurred in the low-end transaction market of the second-hand market.
Having fully satisfied their desire to buy, Robin and others have happily returned to the berthing bay of the TR735 ship to wait to receive the goods. They didn't realize at all that the noise they made in the Hermes Spaceport had alerted Elliot, who was watching them secretly.
Since meeting Robin and Martina in the spaceport legal department that day, Elliot has begun secretly investigating Robin's identity. However, since Robin was an outsider, Elliot's investigation did not yield any results.
And it was this mystery about Robin that made Elliot even more fearful. He instinctively felt the threat Robin posed to him. In addition, Martina's attitude towards Robin that day also made Elliot have to be wary of Robin.
Elliot was a successful businessman in the Hermes Spaceport and even in the entire Proxima Northern Starfield. Before the emergence of challengers in the industry such as Byron Heavy Metal Trading Company, Elliot and his company It even monopolizes the rare material trading market in the entire Northern Star Territory.
However, compared with the Byron family, which has a long history in the industry, Elliott, a big businessman in the rare materials industry, is a complete upstart. Even just three years ago, he was a scammer who escaped from the Alpha Capital Circle. It was by relying on the fraudulent funds and the Federal President's decree to open up the Northern Star Territory that Elliot was able to seize this opportunity and become a very important businessman in the Northern Star Territory.
But the change in identity cannot change his essence. He is a pure upstart and fraudster. Three years ago, he had never even been exposed to the field of rare substances, and he could not even figure out the basic classification of rare substances. Therefore, the dynasty he established in the Northern Star Territory was actually very fragile. Due to the lack of technical support, the rare substances purified by his company generally have quality problems. This shortcoming has caused him to be criticized in the mechanical field.
It was during this period that Georgia Byron moved his Byron Heavy Metals Trading Company to the Proxima Northern Sector.
From the perspective of Elliott and his companies, Byron Heavy Metal Trading Company, which has strong technical strength and industry reputation, is an extremely powerful challenger. Almost everyone in the industry has concluded that Elliott will win in this game. He lost the business competition and gave up his dominance in the field of rare materials. But in fact, Elliot was not as pessimistic as others thought. He saw an opportunity, an opportunity to improve his own shortcomings through conspiracy.
Using the huge network of contacts he had in the Northern Star Territory, he immediately laid an inescapable network for Georgia Byron. He solved the problem of Georgia Byron through murder, and used the contract signed by Georgia Byron during his lifetime to force the Byron Heavy Metal Trading Company into a desperate situation.
If his plan succeeds, then after acquiring Byron Heavy Metal Trading Company, his Elliott Company will no longer have technical flaws, and his dominance in the field of rare materials will never be shaken. Therefore, he has been waiting for this day to come, and tightened his big net step by step, hoping to make Martina, this beautiful little fish, stop struggling.
Until Robin appeared, his plan was quite successful, at least he couldn't see any hope of Martina coming back. But recently, Elliot felt something was wrong. Through investigation, he found that the Georgia Space Station, which had been suspended for a long time, was under full construction. This undoubtedly gave Elliott a fatal blow, because it meant that MartinaThe most critical supply issue has been solved at a moment that he ignored.
