What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 547 Isn't this a bit too much of a blow to them?

In fact, Tang Wen didn't take the two pairs of "sleeping dragons and phoenix chicks" from Nanmei too seriously, whether they were "brothers of justice" or just any shield.

Who knows if their identities are real or fake, or how credible their information is?

The IAA hasn't given up on deceiving the Lost Empire. Just a few days ago, a conman claiming to be Colonel Gaddafi's son was in the desert, saying he wanted to buy 100 U-boats, 500 gnats, and 50 mushroom bombs. They'll stop at nothing to stop them.

It's the same this time.

"The weather bureau?"

Tang Wen was very confused by the information he received, but... it also seemed quite normal!

Rainforest weather is highly variable, so it's not hard to understand why meteorologists would investigate the weather to make forecasts.

After all, apart from the inconspicuous gnats, no one has ever successfully replicated the feat of a surprise attack on the sea during a stormy night.

The numerous examples of pilots from the Lost Empire have now become a special subject for air forces around the world, and anyone who can replicate them is promoted on the spot.

The numerous gnat remains in the hands of the Empire and the Flying Chicken were even being snapped up in an attempt to unlock the secrets of fighter jets flying in bad weather, but they also came up empty-handed.

Tang Wen listened to the intelligence provided by the "Brothers of Justice" in a cold and aloof manner without giving any feedback, but he also believed that surveillance needed to be strengthened, so he sent more drones to monitor the area.

Tom yawned, leaned back in his chair, glanced at the landline, and refreshed his empty email inbox, finding no new messages.

Brest, sitting nearby, was playing chess by himself, looking bored, and sighing from time to time.

As the think tank that influences the Federation and the external brain of the Empire, the think tank's divergent thinking and intelligence summarization capabilities are unmatched. It can find clues and uncover the truth from all kinds of irrationality.

This skill, which had been invincible in the past, is now facing challenges:
The think tank discussed it for three days and three nights but still couldn't figure out why the Indians were so audacious.

They want all the benefits, but never correct their mistakes, and they're incredibly stubborn.

The Kovalaga refused to allow the Constantinople to cross the river, demanding a $1 billion deposit from India. In response, India sued the Black Sea Shipyard to repay the money, claiming the deal could not be completed.

The Black Sea Shipyard stated that since the ship had been delivered, it was no longer their concern, and of course they refused to refund the money. Then, India found traders in Russia to dismantle the Varyag and sell it for scrap metal.

The key point is that this trading company is a shell company controlled by the IAA. Its original purpose was to dismantle the Varyag under the guise of buying scrap metal at high prices when it could not be sold, and then disappear.

The entire think tank was stunned when they heard the news, and then they asked around to find out why the Indian brother gave up so readily.

The final intelligence we obtained was:
India ordered the Baku, which was hacked by Shi Juzhu, from the Severodvinsk shipyard, and also had the local Kochin shipyard and Severodvinsk shipyard evaluate the Varyag's continued construction work.

As a result, the price list from the Severodvinsk shipyard was too expensive (in reality, Russia had already tried to force a lower price, but there was a significant shortage of empty aircraft carriers, so there was a lower limit to the price), and they believed that maintaining three carrier battle groups was too costly, but they were still in a state of indecision.

However, once the empire imposed economic sanctions, the balance immediately tipped towards "abandoning". Just when the Varyag was blocked, the price of scrap metal rose. The Indians, who had only spent $1600 million to buy it, found that it could be sold for about $2300 million, and decisively chose to sell it.

Upon learning that the root of the problem was actually their own think tank, they were stunned. Who would have thought that their ambitious third brother would give up an aircraft carrier for such a small gain!
The sale of the Varyag was intended to balance regional power, and the Empire also planned to make a profit from the continued construction of aircraft carriers!

The think tank racked its brains all night and finally managed to get someone to release information to lower the price of scrap metal in the Ermao region. Then they persuaded the bewildered Turkish chickens to lower their margin to $1 million.

Fortunately, at this time, a French news article reprinted by the University of Tokyo suddenly went viral. The praise for India made the think tank experts feel disgusted, but it made the former feel ecstatic.

Indian media rushed to report on this exhilarating article, and then confidently decided to continue construction on the Varyag.

The original think tank group couldn't stand it anymore and handed over the task of tracking the progress of the Indians to other groups, which eventually fell to Braxton and Tom.

The two, who had been focused on the South China Sea, were now immersed in the Ganges River, questioning the inconsistencies of the world.

Just yesterday, the Empire once again exerted pressure, targeting the food sector for the first time, and now they are all waiting for the Third Brother's response. Some time later, the phone rang.

Brest rushed over to answer the call, and hung up with a cold laugh a moment later.

Tom: "How was it?"

Brest: "Paraniapan said he was not afraid of anything and suggested that the generals take over."

Tom shook his head and sighed:

"They're not even afraid of this kind of force; this is no ordinary act of rebellion. We must strike hard."

However, force is absolutely out of the question; that's impossible.

Brest was somewhat annoyed: "What can we do then? This is the best we can do right now."

"No, I think there's another reason I can scare them."

Tom said in a sinister tone:

"Remember Agent Smith? According to his investigation report, there is a 95% probability that the technology of the mosquito gnats was leaked in the subcontinent, and it is almost impossible for it to be brought to the British mainland."

This matter isn't a big deal if left unresolved, but if taken seriously, it involves the transfer of crucial technology to unknown forces, threatening global security and even potentially indicating a secret alliance!

Brest, standing to the side, had an exaggerated expression; this charge was far too serious.

"Wouldn't this be a bit too hurtful to them?"

"That's giving them too much credit! If Hans really had such an ally, he would probably have been captured by us by now."

Tom's words immediately resonated with Brest, who said that the Lost Empire and the alliance with the three brothers had indeed hurt Rausie.

However, the pot was also very powerful, and they refused to believe it wouldn't work.

……

The establishment of Nansha City has been announced, but the oil production in Nansha remains a secret.

However, nothing stays hidden forever, and strange wires will always transmit messages:
With the second MD-11 in China nearing completion of assembly, Geiger secretly announced a deal for McDonnell Douglas to help China build regional jets.

Although McDonnell Douglas had already been decided internally, Tang Wen and Chang Buss both knew the importance of competition, as competition is conducive to development.

As expected, the news shocked major airlines. After all, 100 MD-11s have almost filled the market share of large mainline passenger aircraft for the next few years. What would happen if McDonnell Douglas took over the regional jet market?

Given Geely's current capabilities, if he were to force 300 regional jets onto the civil aviation sector, other companies would be left with nothing but scraps.

Airbus and Boeing immediately responded, "We can cooperate, and we can provide technology," eager to collaborate.

Airbus shamelessly called the incident of thwarting the AE100 project a "regret" and expressed its willingness to "make amends" and "cooperate sincerely."

Whether it was true or false, Changbus was very accommodating and made contact, which made McDonnell Douglas anxious.

While posting photos of Tang Wen riding in an F15, Robert emphasized his unbreakable, brotherly relationship with Tang Wen, and also released the following information:
Geigen Oil production surged in December, and the company will pay a hefty $150 million to McDonnell Douglas, with hints that a large portion is a deposit for a new passenger aircraft partnership.

The extra money was actually used by Tang Wen to continue moving McDonnell Douglas production lines and purchasing patent licenses, but the outside world's attention was focused elsewhere at the time:
Foreign investors almost all know that in order to guarantee a large order of 100 passenger planes, Tang Wen and McDonnell Douglas signed an agreement to deposit all the profits from the first three years of Nansha oil into a domestic regulatory account and then transfer them out as payment for the goods. The $150 million amount is equivalent to at least 9 million barrels of oil.

So, December's output will be 9 million barrels of crude oil. What kind of output is that? That's more than double the previous output!
Even amidst their busy schedules, the Prism Building couldn't help but cast its gaze over.
