Mercenary’s War Chapter 1849 - 1827: Foundation of Heavy Weapons

Why, in an age where paperless offices and electronic archives are fully feasible, must important chanical or engineering blueprints still be on paper? Naturally, there’s a reason for this.

The greatest advantage of paper archives is their authenticity and reliability. Particularly with blueprints, once the final result is set on paper, it becos quite difficult to alter. Even if changes are made, they are easily discernible. Take aircraft design blueprints, for example. Once the final design is decided, it’s impossible to make alterations. If changes must be made, a completely new set of blueprints has to be drafted.

This gives paper blueprints the advantage of originality, which is lacking in electronic archives.

No matter if these blueprints are stolen or seized, they are certainly not obtained through legitimate ans. How can their authenticity be guaranteed? Only with original blueprints.

Blueprints for large-scale machinery are nurous enough to be weighed in tons. Gao Yang knows that Lebyazhef and his team used six trucks to transport a set of design and construction blueprints for a large aircraft carrier. Six trucks were needed to carry the design blueprints for one ship.

Don’t find it troubleso; finding it troubleso doesn’t help. The blueprints obtained by Gao Yang were basically all completed before the 1990s, when electronic offices were impossible. Although later they were scanned into electronic archives, Ukraine didn’t comprehensively implent such thods.

It is precisely because the blueprints Gao Yang had were originals that forgery was ruled out, especially the crucial details on the catalog he gave to Zhang Zhiguo, which ntioned multiple basic material research data from several material institutes.

A great power needs heavy weapons to deter, and these foundational materials are the basis for such weapons. They cannot be bypassed or surpassed and can only be accumulated over ti through patience and investnt. What Gao Yang provided was the foundation taken from the accumulation of other nations, ready to be directly used, the key being that these materials would never be obsolete.

Zhang Zhiguo, knowledgeable in the field, began to tremble slightly as he looked over them, involuntarily wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Finally, after quickly browsing through the catalog’s contents, Zhang Zhiguo looked at Gao Yang and said in a low voice, "This is too shocking. I’m sorry, but it’s hard for to believe you could actually get these. I can believe you might bring scientists over, but saying you have everything on this list in your hands, that’s impossible."

Gao Yang shrugged and smiled, "Let correct you. It’s not that I can get these things; they are already in my possession. Mr. Zhang, you need not worry about this issue. When it’s necessary to produce these items, I will naturally bring them out."

Zhang Zhiguo smiled wryly, "To be honest, if I take this up and tell people it’s all in your hands, who would believe it?"

Gao Yang waved his hand with a soft chuckle, "Believe it or not, asking to prove it with actual items is not going to happen."

Zhang Zhiguo exhaled and said in a low voice, "How about this, can you give so of the catalog, the original ones, not copies, would that be possible?"

Gao Yang shook his head, "Impossible. I’ll give you three days. If there’s no movent by then, I’ll sell this to others. You understand the enormity of this wealth. To be frank, Mr. Zhang, considering my current power and status, do you think I still care about dostic charges?"

Zhang Zhiguo remained silent for a mont, nodded, and said nothing.

Gao Yang continued, "During this ti, I haven’t done anything disloyal to my country, and I don’t intend to. I’m always mindful that I’m a Huaxia person, so I maintain a respectful distance from the holand, neither provoking nor approaching it. That’s how it is now, and how it will continue to be."

After saying this lightly, Gao Yang smiled faintly and spoke softly, "In the end, I’m still a Huaxia person. Naturally, when there’s a benefit, I think of my own people. That’s why I contacted you. But I’m ultimately not alone. I have many brothers to feed. So if things can’t be negotiated here, I’ll start contacting other buyers. Therefore, I have to keep the original catalog. Do you understand what I’m saying?"

Zhang Zhiguo nodded, speaking in a low voice, "I understand. Alright, within three days, soone will definitely co to et with you. How should we get in touch with you then?"

Gao Yang nodded, pointed to Yarebin at the side, and smiled, "This is my agent. Discuss everything with him directly. I’ll give you a phone number; call it when needed."

While Gao Yang was speaking, Glewatov took out a pen, moved to the table, and scribbled a number on a piece of paper.

Zhang Zhiguo took out a business card, then a pen, clicked it and scribbled a number on the back of the card, then pushed it in front of Gao Yang, speaking quietly, "If anything cos up, call this number; soone will answer 24 hours a day."

Gao Yang picked up the business card, glanced at it, smiled, and put it in his pocket. Zhang Zhiguo still maintained a gentle smile, tidied up the materials in front of him, placed them in a box, and closed it.

"I presu this box is for to take. I won’t stand on ceremony then. Thank you once again, Mr. Gao."

After placing the box at his feet, Zhang Zhiguo smiled, "I have an impertinent request. Could Mr. Gao reveal what kind of transaction you intend to conduct? Of course, I can’t make the decision, but with such a significant bargaining chip, I find it hard to believe it’s simply about avoiding charges."

Gao Yang nodded, "Of course, a series of collaborations, undoubtedly beneficial to the country, otherwise I wouldn’t suggest it. As for the precise details of the transaction, well, I think we should wait and see."

Zhang Zhiguo said sincerely, "I an no offense. Let be frank too. These things are only useful for Huaxia and have the greatest attraction for Huaxia. This transaction must be completed, but it’s not sothing that can be decided by one party. Look at these materials, for making aircraft, ships, basic materials, radars— everything’s involved, which affects too many departnts. So whoever cos to negotiate with you, it’s definitely not that simple. It’s complicated. To save ti, you should ntion the general areas first, so the representatives who can actually make decisions co from the start. Isn’t that better, saving everyone’s ti?"

After thinking for a mont, Gao Yang nodded, "Alright, you make a good point. To save ti, I’ll go ahead and say it. I want to conduct arms-related transactions, and of course, cover our exoneration... mainly these two aspects. Additionally, it’d be best to have a military representative, that’s one of my small requests."
