Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 548

"That's right, that's what a military parade should be like! What is a military parade? Why do we hold military parades?"
"There's nothing there, just outdated weapons and equipment. Who can that scare? Let alone a battle-hardened young widow."

Good heavens, their language was incredibly vulgar.

Bai Ling really wanted to punch this person with extremely low manners.
But upon closer examination...
Although Ximen Lang's language was rather vulgar, and his descriptions were far from ordinary, his reasoning was certainly correct!

Military parades, besides reassuring the people and boosting national confidence, also serve other purposes.

bah bah bah!
That's just flexing your muscles and using force to intimidate the surrounding troublemakers, so they won't dare to make any rash moves!

Thinking about it this way, it seems that Ximen Lang wasn't wrong after all.
But that's exactly what I said.
"Isn't what you're saying a bit too harsh?! What do you mean by using that to scare a widow? Listen to what you're saying, is that even reasonable?!"

Reminded by Bai Ling, Ximen Lang belatedly realized that his words were indeed somewhat inappropriate.
But so what?
"It's just the two of us, there are no outsiders, so what if we're a little vulgar? What's wrong with that?"

"But isn't that a bit too vulgar? It's inappropriate! It would be one thing if you said that to someone else, but to say it to yourself like that! What on earth are you thinking about all day long?!"

"Of course I miss you!"

"Alas."

The seemingly vulgar but surprisingly useful phrase is "I miss you," which completely silenced Bai Ling.

I'm too lazy to argue with Ximen Lang about this vulgar topic any further.

Bai Ling directly voiced the thoughts of everyone in Beijing.

"Wasn't it a robot dog? How did it turn into a robot wolf?"

"What else could it be? Of course, it's because I, a wealthy man who's never short of money, urgently upgraded them! What else could it be? You're really quite stupid."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ling's gaze immediately sharpened.

He got angry as soon as he saw Bai Ling.

If you keep arguing with her, she might really bite you back!

This is not possible!

Therefore, seeing that Bai Ling was about to lose control of her emotions, Ximen Lang quickly put away his frivolous attitude and said seriously.

"Okay, the real reason is that the robotic wolf is just so much more useful than the robotic dog. You can see that just by looking at its size; the robotic wolf is more than a whole size bigger than the robotic dog!"

"And as we all know, bigger is better, bigger is stronger! So it's almost inevitable, whether it's load capacity or level of intelligence. Because robot wolves can be equipped with more advanced instruments and even more weapons than robot dogs, robot wolves completely crush robot dogs!"

"As for me, you know, I'm not short of money. Seeing such a significant performance improvement, and the price not much higher, I can just squeeze a little out of my fingers and it's all done."

"Why not take advantage of this rare opportunity and give them a complete overhaul! I kept a few robot dogs with excellent reconnaissance capabilities for scouting purposes, and replaced the rest with much larger and more imposing robot wolves! What do you think of my choice? Wasn't it wise?"

It's wise, of course, but it's also truly speechless.

Originally, the city of Beijing had no way to deal with the elite troops of later generations, led by the Guard Battalion. Now, even the only area where they might have a chance against later generations—street fighting—has been upgraded and modernized by Ximen Lang.

Its performance is even better than Hao Pingchuan's Nightmare Robot Dog!

"The robot dog is already this good, are you really not going to upgrade it? You really don't intend to give others a chance, do you?"

"Nonsense, that's exactly what we do, that's what we research. Of course we can't give anyone an opening! After all, that's street fighting, a notorious meat grinder, you know that?"

"And what about us? Every single one of our soldiers is extremely valuable! In this situation, of course we must be responsible for our soldiers and do our utmost in this regard!"

Bai Ling felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this.

However, when he heard Ximen Lang's next sentence...
"Anyway, it's only about ten thousand yuan, not much money, and we can afford it. So of course we should use a large number of cheap robotic wolves to perform these dangerous missions for our soldiers."

Bai Ling was completely flustered!

"What?! This huge thing only costs around ten thousand yuan?! That's only a few hundred yuan here?!"

"What do you think? If this kind of performance were anywhere else, you wouldn't even be allowed to look at it for less than 100,000 or 80,000 yuan!"

"But who can blame us for having a complete industrial chain? Our steel production is leading the world by a huge margin! It's just a pile of steel; we can research and produce everything ourselves."

"The key is that while using it ourselves, we also developed a civilian version and went deep into the civilian market. It was already cheap, and we could make a lot of money from the civilian version."

"They can even sell them overseas and make a fortune in foreign money, in US dollars! In that case, the cost would be shockingly low, wouldn't it?"

Bai Ling felt utterly hopeless after hearing this.

Still feeling that his few words hadn't adequately explained the advantages of the robot wolf, Ximen Lang reconsidered his words and continued.

"And it's not just about low cost. You can tell from the neat and orderly formation of the robot wolves, and from the name 'robot wolf' itself."

"That's right, the robot wolf, the robot wolf, it can naturally carry out swarm operations and form combat squads! Take our three-three system for example."

"It's true, when it comes to the 3x3 system, they might not be any worse than you! Add to that their robust build, their integrated reconnaissance and strike fire control system, and their extremely low cost."

"Anyway, I have no idea how to defeat these guys in a fierce urban battle like this! They're worthless anyway, so even if you're really good and can take on several of them at once!"

“Then I’ll just send five of them, five machine wolves, which is about 50,000 yuan, to take your life! We won’t lose out at all! Not to mention, flesh and blood can’t possibly fight against a body armed to the teeth with steel.”

Bai Ling was so moved by what she said that she couldn't help but feel desperate, and the professionals in Beijing felt even colder as they discussed it.

It even gave me a bit of a creepy feeling.

Then, before the people of Beijing could even bring up the old adage of fighting spirit and the personal qualities of heroes among the people, they were already talking about it.

The guards transformed into futuristic warriors, making a dazzling entrance armed to the teeth.
