Chapter 12
Vincent looked at the model on the window and said confidently: "Of course, my dear Mr. Marshal, I promise that this is the solution you need."
On the table of Marshal Hugh Caswal Dowding, there was a model. Below was a model car, and a disc-shaped balloon-like thing was dragging a line slowly rising.
"My dear Mr. Marshal, this is a new type of air defense device. I believe you have heard of your country's experience in bombing Berlin. Fortunately, I have a lot of cheap things in it. If you need them, I think you can arrange tight air protection near all important targets before night comes."
The opponent's words were so fierce that Hugh Caswal Dowding Air Marshal thought of the British Air Force's operation of thousands of troops attacking Berlin at night, and the minefields formed by the "disc air defense capsules" in the air not only affected the flight of the bomber group, but even suddenly rose up and caused major trauma to the attacking aircraft group.
“Are these gadgets?”
He looked at the toy-like thing on the table in surprise. It was installed on the trailer behind a Hummer, but the fixed long rope was fixed on the body of the heavy Hummer. At this time, the rising disc air defense capsule actually turned on a light, and the little stick-like thing representing the machine gun was slowly rotating.
Vincent Prince probably saw the surprise of Hugh Casvald Dowding, and he continued with a shallow, undespicable smile.
"Mr. Marshal, these gadgets are loaded with lamps and 12.7mm double machine guns, which are not slow to rise. And the existence of Hummers also makes them mobility. Of course, I don't recommend that you move their positions when they take off, and I'm worried that their long ropes will be wrapped in wires if that's the case.
These things rely on helium to provide basic lift, and the motor in the middle of the disc air defense capsule provides extra lift. This allows them to carry a weight of 1 ton of things to take off. The 12.7mm air defense machine gun, which has a maximum range of 1800 meters, so you can arrange one for every 1500 meters.
The most important thing is that the manipulation of this thing is very simple, and almost no training is required. Three ordinary infantry can control one. And the quantity in my inventory can allow you to deploy all of it before tomorrow night. If you need it, we even provide airships or aircraft transportation. Of course, the cost of these transportation is calculated separately!”
After hearing such a long list of introductions, Hugh Casval Dowding Air Force Marshal had to admire the arms merchants of the Chinese Federation. Today's air battle during the day immediately gave them business opportunities. Perhaps these equipment were taken out before this, Hugh Casval Dowding Air Force Marshal himself might not like these things, but now when these equipment is needed, they are really worth the money!
"I guess these equipment are not cheap. It's a shame that you think so carefully!"
These implicit ironic words made Vincent Prince laugh as if these were not ironic, but praises to him.
"Of course, it is the most basic quality that Chinese federal arms merchants must have. As for the price, in my personal opinion, these things are really cheaper than our American cities in the UK, which is equivalent to free gifts, what do you think!"
The young man with a smile in front of him, Hugh Casvald Dowding, breathed heavily, but he really couldn't say anything to the young man who was helping him in time.
"Well, if it were these things, I think we would buy them, but I was worried that we would not have enough shipping time, so we would not buy a lot, maybe you already know tonight..."
The smile on Vincent Prince's face became even stronger, and he even showed the enthusiasm for a big business to be successful.
"Of course, Mr. Marshal, please believe in the sense of smell and serious work of our Chinese Federation arms merchants. In fact, these equipment are very worthwhile. You recommend that you use meteorite rotor airborne to transport. Of course, if you need it, we also have enough stock. Unless you use a large transport aircraft, well, a large transport aircraft can transport three at a time. If so, I am afraid you will need to hire some airships. Of course, if you need it, we also have such a business. Or you will need escorts, you know that our Chinese Federation arms merchants have a relationship with Thunder International..."
The series of introductions were as dazzling as the uninterrupted advertisements on TV, which reminded the Air Marshal Hugh Caswal Dowding of what someone had told him.
"Mr. Marshal, when you face the arms merchants of the Chinese Federation, please be more careful. They will not only provide useful and expensive equipment at high prices when you need it urgently, but also those bastards will take this opportunity to buy a lot of useless things..."
These words were what the American Major General Dulittle told him. When the US military's B-1 Albatross long-range heavy bomber was damaged and negotiated with the Chinese Federation to purchase, Dulittle even vaguely bought an exquisite cane made of bullet shells for all members of his bomber brigade.
The salesperson told it that this thing can be used for the wounded when there is a forced landing, whether it is used as a crutch or a plywood. But afterwards, Dulittle learned that these so-called "exquisite crutchs" were just gadgets made from shells on his bomber and were made locally. They were even sold at a high price by the kid with heavy import tax.
"No, no, no, no...!"
Thinking of Doolittle's warning, Hugh Casvald Dowding Air Marshal said four words "no" in one breath, as if he was warning the other party not to try to fool himself.
"No...Mr. Marshal, I don't understand. In the face of a city that is about to be air strikes by Germans tonight, you will actually reject these air defense equipment that has been tested in actual combat. Why do you discriminate against the merchants of our Federation of China? If so..."
This is the reaction of merchants in the Federation of China, not only arms merchants, including other merchants. Because discrimination against merchants in the Federation of China, it has violated the "Most Favored Nation Treatment" treaty with the Federation of China. According to these treaties, merchants of both parties signing the contract shall apply the same laws as those of merchant countries when doing business in the other country, and shall not discriminate due to country...!
In fact, this treaty itself is a trap. After all, only a little trick is required when taking on the airship of the China Federal International Airlines, the freight will be transported almost single.
The air transport of various countries itself cannot fight against it because they do not have the number of 30,000 ships in the Chinese Federation. As for ships, it is because the distance is too far, which makes people sad that they are really low compared to airships.

Vincent Prince's face showed some expression, which was the first time he had shown his failure when he entered the office. This made Hugh Caswal Dowding Air Force Marshal very happy. At least the profitable merchants of the Chinese Federation did not gain any advantage.
"Mr. Marshal, you are so cheerful. We have completed such a large contract so quickly. Please believe that we will send the most profitable personnel to transport these disc air defense capsules to your designated place for delivery! Compared with the land and the navy, your order is really huge and surprising!"
As he said that, Vincent Prince put away the model on the table and walked out with great strides, as if to rush to deliver goods to the British Air Force.
Until then, more smiles appeared on Vincent Prince's face. These happy smiles showed success and couldn't help but make Hugh Caswal Dowding Air Marshal alert. He even worried that he had accidentally sold the British Empire to the other party.
"Mr. Vincent, please go slowly. What did you just say, the orders from the land and the navy, are you..."
A smug smile appeared on Vincent Prince's face, and he shrugged.
"Of course, the British Army's air defense forces and the Navy's seaport air defense departments have signed a large number of procurement contracts with us. Although they are not as refreshing as you, and the order quantity is far less than that of you. And I want you to rest assured that our Chinese Federation's production capacity is almost the number one in the world, and all these equipment will be deployed tonight!"
Upon hearing this news, Hugh Caswal Dowding, who had just stood up because of surprise, sat back on his chair. He couldn't believe that the Army and the Admiral ordered a large order of disc air defense capsules but did not tell him. His order just now had already taken into account the needs of the seaport and barracks' air defense. In this case, the British government ordered nearly three times the amount of goods required.
"These bastards, these bastard businessmen who made money from the national crisis..."
