Chapter 301

Hong Kong International Convention and Exhibition Center.

The atmosphere of the entire exhibition hall was stirred up by the Suicide Drone, and one question after another was thrown out.

Facing these, Fire Fox answered them one by one with a smile, giving a very detailed explanation of the various performances of the drone.

Perhaps those reporters didn't understand the significance of the Suicide Drone and were just surprised by this novel product, but the representatives of various arms companies all knew how terrifying a role the appearance of the Suicide Drone could play on the battlefield.

A single Suicide Drone could do limited things, but they were all professionals and saw at a glance that the Suicide Drone was taking the swarm route. When the overwhelming number of drones took to the sky, that scene would definitely be what all infantry least wanted to see.

After the Suicide Drone, Fire Fox sat back in her seat, and Sophia, who was on the side, stood up and placed three weapon boxes on the table.

Everyone's eyes were focused on those three boxes, all curious about what was inside. With the Suicide Drone as a pearl in front, everyone now knew how high the gold content of this Black Steel Industry press conference was.

"Next, I want to introduce another product of Black Steel Industry: the Striker individual missile."

Sophia's voice was full of magnetism, and as she spoke, she opened the three weapon boxes, seeing three individual missiles lying quietly inside.

"The Striker individual missile is divided into three models according to the attack target: anti-personnel missiles for soft targets, anti-tank missiles for armored targets, and anti-aircraft missiles specifically for dealing with flight vehicles such as armed helicopters."

Sophia introduced the three models of the Striker missile one by one.

"All three models can be carried and launched independently by a single soldier, and the overall operation difficulty is greatly reduced. The user doesn't even need to understand the manual; just lock the target in the aiming system and press the launch button. The missile has an automatic tracking function, a maximum speed of 3.5 Mach, a maximum range of 20 kilometers, and a maximum shooting height of 5,000 meters."

After Sophia stated the parameters of the Striker individual missile, it immediately caused a sensation in the whole venue.

"A speed of 3.5 Mach?"

Someone was surprised by the maximum speed of the missile. A speed of 3.5 Mach didn't sound like much, but one had to know that Mach is linked to the speed of sound, and a speed of 3.5 Mach was already extremely terrifying, reaching 4,200 km/h.

Except for fighter jets, other flight vehicles were almost impossible to reach this speed.

In other words, once the Striker individual missile locked on, there was no possibility of escape, and one could only choose passive defense or advance interception.

"May I ask how powerful this missile is?"

An arms company representative asked.

"The missile warhead is filled with high-performance polymer explosives, and its power is enough to penetrate the frontal armor of all active main battle tanks."

Sophia said.

As soon as these words came out, the whole venue was in an uproar again.

Especially the representatives of several American arms companies, whose faces turned black directly. If the power of the Striker individual missile was not exaggerated, then it would be very bad news for them.

Afterward, after Sophia answered various questions one by one, she pressed her hands down to signal everyone in the audience to be quiet, and then said:

"Finally, I will tell you a piece of good news. After this period of industrial upgrading, the production capacity of Black Steel Industry has been greatly improved. The Scorpion armed helicopter and the Explorer all-terrain military vehicle are now on sale to the public.

Quantities are limited, first come, first served."

At the previous Black Steel Industry press conference, the Scorpion and the Explorer appeared under the eyes of the world, but at that time Ni Yongyao chose not to sell them to the outside world, just to show off the strength of Black Steel Industry.

After this period of accumulation, the number of Scorpion armed helicopters had greatly increased, enough to carry out foreign trade.

This heavy news instantly made the entire exhibition hall boil, especially the representatives of various arms companies, who were scrambling, fearing they wouldn't be able to grab one.

And the reason they were so urgent was for the super performance of the Scorpion armed helicopter, intending to buy it for reverse disassembly and then upgrade their own products.

"Those interested in purchasing can submit orders to Black Steel Industry after the press conference."

Sophia said.

Afterward, Ni Yongyao announced that the press conference was over and left the exhibition hall with Fire Fox and Sophia.

Ni Family Manor.

Study.

"Mr. Ni, Lockheed Martin President Leonard wants to visit you."

Fire Fox reported to Ni Yongyao.

"Not seeing him."

Ni Yongyao smoked his cigar and said casually.

Before this, Ni Yongyao had already rejected a large number of visitors. After the press conference, various arms companies and forces all wanted to buy a batch of Black Steel Industry products. Whether it was the Suicide Drone or the Striker individual missile, as well as the Scorpion armed helicopter and the Explorer all-terrain military vehicle, they were all peak works in their respective fields and were snatched up by everyone.

It's just that they wouldn't understand that Ni Yongyao held this press conference not just to make some money.

From beginning to end, this press conference was bait cast by Ni Yongyao, just to wait for specific fish to take the hook. Before that, Ni Yongyao was naturally not interested in seeing others.

One hour later.

"Mr. Ni, a representative of the North Peninsula military wants to visit you."

Fire Fox said.

"Let him come over."

Ni Yongyao raised his eyebrows and said, finally waiting for the fish he wanted to bite the hook.

"Yes."

Fire Fox nodded and left the office.

Soon she returned, followed by a middle-aged man wearing a North Peninsula military uniform, with some vicissitudes on his face, and his rank was Colonel.

"Mr. Ni, hello."

Sheng Wengan stood still in front of Ni Yongyao and nodded in greeting. He was also a little surprised that he could see Ni Yongyao. He also knew that he didn't know how many people had come to visit before him, but they were all rejected.

"Sit."

Ni Yongyao smiled and pointed to the sofa opposite him.

Sheng Wengan was a little flattered. Although he held the rank of Colonel, he didn't dare to put on any airs in front of Ni Yongyao. After all, Sheng Wengan actually came to Hong Kong with a mission this time, and it would be no exaggeration to say that he was begging Ni Yongyao.

"Mr. Ni, I also attended the previous press conference. I am very interested in your company's latest products. I wonder if you can sell a batch to us? I think Mr. Ni should have heard about the situation on the Peninsula. Your company's weapons are very important to us."

Sheng Wengan didn't beat around the bush and spoke earnestly as soon as he came up, stating his needs.

"I opened a company to do business. Now that there is business at the door, how could I refuse?"

Ni Yongyao said.

"That would be great."

Hearing Ni Yongyao say this, Sheng Wengan breathed a sigh of relief, then took out a notebook from his arms, opened it to look at the contents, and said: "Mr. Ni, we are most interested in the Scorpion armed helicopter and the Striker individual missile. I wonder what the specific price is?"

"Scorpion armed helicopter, 50 million; Striker individual missile, 100,000."

Fire Fox replied.

"Is this price in Hong Kong dollars?"

Sheng Wengan asked.

"Hong Kong dollars? No, of course it's US dollars."

Ni Yongyao said with a smile.

Hearing this price, although Sheng Wengan was prepared, he was still dumbfounded.

However, Sheng Wengan also knew that 50 million US dollars for a Scorpion armed helicopter was definitely worth the money. Its significance on the battlefield was far from being comparable to 50 million US dollars.

The same was true for the Striker individual missile. As long as it was 100,000 US dollars, it could pose a huge threat to tanks or helicopters. No matter how you calculated it, it was a cost-effective deal.

Not long after, Sheng Wengan gritted his teeth and ordered a batch of Scorpions and Strikers, and also bought some Explorer military vehicles. As for the Suicide Drones, they were not purchased.

It wasn't that he didn't want them, but he really had no budget. Just buying the Scorpions almost emptied all of Sheng Wengan's budget.

But these were all worth it. This could be seen from the smile on Sheng Wengan's face when signing the contract. He was confident that with this batch of weapons and equipment, the subsequent offensive against the South Peninsula would be even smoother.

The North Peninsula army itself was far superior to the South Peninsula in terms of morale. The only gap was in equipment, and there was a whole generation gap between the two sides. After all, the South Peninsula relied on the Americans behind them, and the equipment was definitely not bad.

And now that the North Peninsula had obtained more advanced weapons from Ni Yongyao, the situation would be simple and clear.

"Mr. Ni, we will always remember your kindness."

After the contract was signed, Sheng Wengan was excited and shook Ni Yongyao's hand.

"I wish you a victory."

Ni Yongyao said.

After Sheng Wengan left, Ni Yongyao leaned on the sofa, a playful smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

Selling weapons to the North Peninsula was naturally not because Ni Yongyao was kind-hearted. There were plenty of people outside who wanted to buy them. As long as the word was spread, the orders would immediately fill the warehouse.

The real reason was that Ni Yongyao wanted the North Peninsula to hurt and scare the South Peninsula, thereby paving the way for Ni Capital to enter the South Peninsula later.

Ni Yongyao's goal had always been the South Peninsula, but he had taken a slight detour due to the major conglomerates and the complex market environment.

When the South Peninsula was beaten up by the North Peninsula and was desperate, that would be the moment for Ni Yongyao to appear.

By then, coupled with Han Qiang's internal operations, it wouldn't be Ni Capital wanting to enter the South Peninsula, but the South Peninsula begging Ni Capital to come.

And what Ni Yongyao needed to do next was to wait and see, waiting for the South Peninsula to be unable to hold on.

A few days later, the development of things was not much different from what Ni Yongyao expected.

Having obtained advanced weapons, the North Peninsula beat the South Peninsula until they were crying and retreating steadily.

This change was beyond the expectations of the South Peninsula's top brass. Originally, they thought that with American weapons and equipment, dealing with the North wouldn't be easy, but it would definitely be an advantage. They didn't expect Black Steel International to sell weapons to the North Peninsula at this juncture.

And whether it was the Scorpion armed helicopter or the Striker individual missile, the performance was very powerful, and the South Peninsula's helicopters and tanks were scrapped batch after batch.

After losing the equipment advantage, the strength of the South Peninsula's army was immediately exposed. There was no decent will to fight at all, and it collapsed almost at the first touch.

This day, Ni Yongyao received a call from Han Qiang.

"Mr. Ni, the plan can begin."

Han Qiang said, with some irrepressible excitement in his words. Even he found it hard to control himself when he thought about the power he could obtain after the plan succeeded.

"During this period, as the North has been advancing, those people in the Blue House are like ants on a hot pot. By now, they are probably almost unable to hold on."

Han Qiang said. As a high-level official of the Hancheng Prosecutor's Office, Han Qiang was definitely one of the best-informed people in the South Peninsula.

"Don't rush, wait for them to speak first."

Ni Yongyao said indifferently.

"I have to say, Mr. Ni's methods are still powerful."

Han Qiang said with a smile, and at the same time felt fortunate. Fortunately, when his subordinate Cui Qingchen mentioned Ni Yongyao to him, he agreed immediately. Otherwise, where would he find such a good partner?

Just by looking at the daily war reports, Han Qiang could understand how strong the Black Steel Industry in Ni Yongyao's hands was.

In the blink of an eye, another few days passed.

Seeing the North Peninsula advancing all the way, the South Peninsula's top brass completely couldn't hold on and sent representatives to Hong Kong again.

In fact, when they first discovered that the North Peninsula had Scorpion armed helicopters, the South Peninsula had communicated with Ni Yongyao, wanting to ban Black Steel Industry from selling weapons to the North Peninsula, or at least sell them to the South Peninsula.

However, these proposals were ignored by Ni Yongyao, and then one representative after another from the South Peninsula received the same treatment.

The status of the representative sent by the South Peninsula this time was much higher than before, and he could be considered a high-level figure in the Blue House, just to talk to Ni Yongyao properly. After all, if it continued, the South Peninsula would really be in danger.

Ni Family Manor.

In the courtyard.

"Mr. Ni, nice to meet you, I am Yu Dahe."

Yu Dahe said, extending his hand to Ni Yongyao.

"Sit."

Ni Yongyao shook hands with Yu Dahe and pointed to the seat on the side.

"I came here this time on behalf of the Peninsula to talk to Mr. Ni about the war situation. Our side hopes that Mr. Ni can stop selling weapons to the North."

Yu Dahe said straight to the point.
