Garfield got up and left. He pulled a reason and went straight away. It was inconvenient for him to get involved in the next two people''s talk. Every wise man has the self-control not to inquire into other people''s secrets. He knows too much about secrets. Maybe one day a bullet will be shot from an unexpected place.


    After he left, the atmosphere became more harmonious. Both of them were very relaxed and didn''t feel too strange.


    If it is wine that can make strangers become brothers the fastest in the world, then what can make strangers become friends the fastest is interests, common interests.


    "I haven''t asked you yet..." Dooling wiped his shoulder. Thomas ton reacted when he reported his rank. Only at this time did he realize the advantage of his superior''s promotion. If he was still a lieutenant colonel, maybe Dooling would go over him and consult directly with higher generals rather than with him. Dooling smiled even more. "Colonel Thomas, our business will begin to be fulfilled from the first of next month. Before we cooperate, we have to say something in advance and put it on the table, right?"


    Colonel Thomas nodded. He was still a soldier in his bones. He didn''t say anything else to test each other like a businessman. He directly said what Turin wanted to ask, "I can give you a guarantee that the maximum transportation cost of each bottle of wine will not exceed 65 points!", which Colonel Thomas still has the right to make a decision, Because if we can talk about the price, we can talk about it. If we can''t talk about it, we must have a result on the spot.


    Once there is a similar saying of "research", the next time we talk about the price, the other party will lower the price.


    Sixty five?


    Dooling touched his chin. The price was acceptable, but it was unacceptable. "Colonel Thomas, take the liberty to ask, are the prices the same regardless of distance, or are there different prices according to different itineraries?"


    Colonel Thomas was stunned. "Of course not. It''s just the cost of going to the farthest port, including the possible emptying of the return trip. If the distance is closer, it''s about 30 to 40 minutes."


    Durin nodded noncommittally and put forward a new request, "if I can, can I see those ships?"


    "Of course. When do you want to see the boat?"


    "After dinner!"


    The two soon had a hasty dinner in this special position. It didn''t take an hour. Turin still paid 3000 yuan. When they got to the beach, there was a speedboat waiting for Matos. A young man with short hair stood upright in the driver''s seat and looked at Colonel Thomas as if he hadn''t seen Turin at all.


    Colonel Thomas and Dooling got on board. He gave orders. The speedboat immediately left the port and moved quickly south along the illian coastline. After walking for less than ten minutes, you can see another port, a military port. Many warships are moored in the inner port, and some weapons are covered by canvas. Outside the port, four white cargo ships and five "old ships" are obviously the same as the inner port warships.


    The patrolling navies turned a blind eye to Colonel Thomas''s speedboat, just as the young people driving the speedboat could not see Turing, so they could not see the speedboat. They got on the cargo ship modified by one of the warships. The whole cabin was almost empty and well maintained. There was some butter on some parts that had not been wiped clean. Where is this retired warship? It''s a new warship!


    He had a new understanding of the courage of these navies. At the beginning, he thought that the Navy''s own maritime operation was only a hidden rule, but it seemed that it was not as simple as the hidden rule. It was just red fruit doing illegal activities.


    In fact, it can''t blame Turing. The situation of the navy is a little special.


    During the patriotic war, the attacks from the Federation basically took place on land, and the attacks on the sea were not without. It was just that the two navies had reservations compared with the crazy strength on the ground. After a few exploratory shots, they went home and had a rest. After the war, when the new party came to power, the first severe rebuke was the Navy''s attitude of idling the war, believing that the Navy did not shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the Empire and severely attacking the aggressors.


    In fact, the navy is not to blame. In fact, both the imperial and the federal sides, except where they can''t land, there are a large number of shore guns in deep-water ports and throat roads. If they are not prepared to sacrifice at any time, they can''t get in. Instead of wasting shells and obsidian crystals and killing a large number of Navy veterans, it''s better to turn around at home.


    Subsequently, margus decided to reduce the military expenditure of the Navy and use this part of the military expenditure for the improvement and R & D of new weapons and equipment. In addition to losing a large amount of military spending every year, at the same time, the high-level navy has also "been" retired some generals. These generals have left the army, but their influence is still there. Many people even think that these generals have carried the black pot for the whole navy. So after the discussion of the Navy''s top management, they came up with an interesting plan - self-sufficiency.


    Perhaps they did manage the sea transportation for this purpose at the beginning, but soon, under the corrosion of money, the Navy became a sharp tool for them to make money. They had the funds the Navy lacked, and the two sides quickly identified the master and slave from their equal partners. In addition, the senior officers of the active Navy also joined the feast of money, and the navy has basically been eroded.


    The cabinet formed by the new party is also very clear about this matter, but when they know it, there is no way to deal with the Navy. Or take the vast majority of Navy generals, and then face the most likely overall mutiny - this is not impossible. Even if it is not possible, those Navy generals who are in danger should create this atmosphere, forcing the navy to go against the Empire, and those generals can protect themselves by this means.


    Or let the Navy rot, as long as they do not affect the policy implementation and political direction of the Empire, and as long as they do not surrender to the enemy and betray the country, let them be self-sufficient!


    Repeated cuts in the Navy''s military spending have made the Navy more unscrupulous in making money, so there is such a picture of brazenly using imperial warships to transport goods for the rich.


    "Well, are you satisfied with these ships?" Colonel Thomas patted a metal warehouse wall around him. The dull percussion sound had a tremor charm, making people feel its firmness.


    Of course, Dooling was very satisfied. He shook hands with colonel Thomas. "I don''t think I need to keep looking. We can sign an agreement when you have a definite cost list!"


    Colonel Thomas held back his joy and shook his right arm firmly holding Turin''s palm. "I''ll take you back. We''ll meet again in two days at the latest!"


    After leaving his contact information, Turin left the military port in a speedboat. At this time, he thought of more and more important things than transporting those private wines. Obviously, the navy is a force that can win over. He will not naively think that as long as he spends money, the navy can help him misbehave, but as long as he spends money, he can always buy some things that the navy "scrapped" and "eliminated" and do not involve military secrets.


    Like... Weapons?!


    There is too much difference between non military weapons and military weapons. Military weapons have higher strength, greater lethality and longer range, which are much better than those "toy guns" in his hand. He doesn''t have a weapon carrying platform or the latest war weapons, but he can change it himself.


    In the dream, the tank was originally an "agricultural tractor". Moreover, with the huge kinetic energy provided by Yaojing drive, it is not difficult to refit a truck into an armed vehicle.


    Of course, this needs to establish appropriate cooperation with the Navy, and then implement it step by step.


    After Dooling left the military port, Colonel Thomas immediately went to the military port headquarters to meet with the commander-in-chief of the Navy stationed in illian, an imperial major general. The General Military Department of the Empire does not care about the Navy. In fact, it is not unconditional, that is, the navy must remain loyal to the Empire and obey the battle orders and orders of the Empire.


    Since the abandonment of illian military port, a small formation has been stationed here, with a total of six warships ready to fight and eight training ships for training.


    The warships that Dooling saw outside the military port were actually training ships. They transformed seven, leaving only one for training.


    "General, I''m back." Thomas knocked straight on the door and stood outside the door. With the sound of "come in", he pushed the door and entered. Like the young man driving the speedboat, he stared at his front. "I have met Mr. durin of illian. He talked with me about a big business. From next month, hundreds of thousands of bottles of wine will be transported to all parts of the Empire every month."


    Major general is an old man in his fifties. He doesn''t look like a big man like major general at all. He is not tall, a little thin, his hair is gray and bald. His face was full of wrinkles like knives and axes. At the moment of lifting his eyes, the wrinkles on the upper layer of his forehead could kill mosquitoes.


    "Oh?", his voice was very loud, and there was an accident in his voice. "Are you sure it''s hundreds of thousands of bottles instead of tens of thousands?"


    Colonel Thomas answered "yes" loudly. The major general immediately smiled, "good, good." he couldn''t help but stand up and walked back and forth a few steps. "How much do you offer him? If it''s too high, it will scare people!"


    "No more than 65 cents, a bottle!"


    The major general took a breath, and he whispered, "count half, 30 points, ten bottles are three yuan, 100000 bottles are 30000, hundreds of thousands of bottles..." his eyes narrowed, "more than 100000 and 200000..."


    "You talk about it. It''s a credit. The talk collapsed..." the major general smiled, "you find me a business that can make so much money!"
