Chapter 579 The Origin of Gawag
Chu Zimo was feeling proud when Lin Fancheng asked with a sigh, "I just want to know how much Wolfe's annual revenue is. Can it cover the maintenance costs of the Garvag?"
"Is there any need to think about this? The Gawag has been sold for many years. They must have been sold because of pressure," Liu Yueban interjected.
"Seven trillion may seem like a large sum, but if you spread it over the 150 years of the Dreadnought's service, the maintenance costs will actually be higher than the cost of its construction."
"That's what happened."
Hong Ning touched his chin and said, "Based on the assumption that eight years of maintenance costs are roughly equal to the construction costs, the construction cost of the Dreadnought is approximately 41.5 billion, and the annual maintenance cost is 5.2 billion."
"Wow, you calculate really fast."
Alan clicked his tongue and said, "It's a planet after all, it shouldn't be so unable to pay for its maintenance."
Lin Fancheng also asked: "Besides, the Gawag has been sold for so many years, why is it still parked here?"
Yun Mo half-closed her eyes, hiding the emotions in them, while the coin in her right hand continued to spin slowly in circles.
Judging from their words and the information we had previously learned, "money" is a big problem, but not the biggest problem.
The biggest problem lies with the federation.
As far as she knew, one or two hundred years ago, before the civil strife, Wolfe had been a satellite planet of Alpha and had considerable military and industrial background.
There were three Worm destroyers alone, each costing around 40 billion star coins. There were also 350 battleships, over 2,000 Panther tanks, tens of thousands of nuclear bombs, and a government army of 2 million...
All these are enough to give Wolfe strong military strength.
However, Wolfe was too messy.
Political infighting and capital flight caused by the war have left the country unable to mine its vast metal resources.
Even so, Wolff is not in a hurry to leave Alfa.
He has been waiting for the Federation or other B-class stars to take the initiative to make friends with him.
But they took it for granted.
Sharp teeth are a weapon for self-protection, but they are also a threat in the eyes of others.
Many of Wolfe's equipment originated from Alpha. In some areas, it was even comparable to the Federation's, representing the most advanced technology in the Galactic Empire...
How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed?
Alpha was so worried that he couldn't sleep, fearing that he would fall into the arms of the Federation.
The Federation is wary of their weapons, fearing that they will enhance the military development of other star regions.
Thus, the Federation and Alpha, sworn enemies, willingly joined forces for the first time...
Wolf's industrial system quickly collapsed, and he was burdened with foreign debts, and could no longer afford to support a large military force.
The Wolf government had no choice but to sell the equipment.
Yun Mo's gaze lingered on Qiandu Encyclopedia, where a video was playing, deciphering the reasons why the federal government was supporting anti-government forces...
Liu Yueban glanced at him and said, "Wolf thought he had a good hand, but in fact he played it badly. He can't really blame anyone else for his current situation."
Huo Chuan also sighed, which was rare for him. "That's not entirely true. After all, the Federation's methods of suppressing other planets are ruthless and effective."
Yun Mo also snorted sarcastically: "It's very vicious. On the one hand, they prohibit the sale of weapons abroad, and on the other hand, they offer economic inducements."
"Let me see, what does it say here?"
"The federal government plans to invest over a trillion dollars to build an industrial chain for mining and processing peacock crystals in Wolfe, providing employment for over half of the residents. The prerequisite is the destruction of weapons..."
"Tsk tsk tsk," Mo Mo also shook his head. "Wolf must have been so poor back then that he was really willing to cut off his own arm."
"If it were you, what would you choose?" Huo Chuan looked at him sideways.
Mo Mo said: "The green mountains that remain..."
Liu Yueban patted his shoulder and said, "Forget it, buddy. I can't keep you. I'll give you Yi Jian Mei sooner or later."
Yun Mo flipped through the pages: "It's really too passive. The subsequent maintenance of many weapons still requires Alpha's technology. Alpha is unlikely to support him. In addition, he is "poor"..."
Speaking of the word "poor", Yun Mo felt quite sad and empathized with the other person, and almost choked up.
"The Wolf government is so poor that it can only cooperate with the federal government first."
"After the weapons were destroyed, the Federation reneged on their investment, only investing 200 billion star coins..."
"Tsk, so the Wolfe government doesn't dare to do anything openly, and has done a lot of things that are lip service and ulterior motives. That's why the Federation has started supporting anti-government forces again..."
Someone was walking towards this side in the distance. Chu Zimo coughed and reminded them not to talk about state affairs.
Yun Mo raised her eyelids and asked after the people had walked away, "Did the Federation agree to let him sell the Gavarg?"
Chu Zimo pursed his lips upon hearing this. "Of course I disagree. The Federation asked him to destroy the Gawarg, and it was already more than half dismantled by then. The Federation's investment hadn't arrived yet."
"The Prime Minister realized something was wrong and decisively stopped the dismantling, but the Gawag could no longer be reassembled."
"It was about 60% complete before, but now it's probably less than 40%."
"No wonder……"
Yun Mo narrowed his eyes. In its current state, the Gavarg was probably only slightly better than scrap metal in the eyes of Alpha and the Federation.
Because technology is developing at a rapid pace, and the power system and weapons have all been removed, this old gold-eating antique with an energy consumption twice that of the Dreadnought is now just a shell, and has become useless in the eyes of the Federation and Alpha.
But even so, there is probably no chance to buy Blue Star.
What Yun Mo has to do now is to open up this connection and give Blue Star the opportunity to purchase the Guevara while lowering the price as much as possible.
Several people were discussing enthusiastically, and Yun Mo turned his gaze to the three arms dealers.
One person's plan is short, three people's plan is long.
Since Blue Star cannot purchase the Guevara, perhaps it can get a few "friends" to act as a bridge.
Andre, a former major from Alpha Star, was shrewd and complex, possessing great luck, though with a touch of melancholy.
If I cooperate with him, I might be implicated in other matters. After all, although he doesn't care about me, he is very willing to spend a lot of money on the beautiful women around him.
Not good.
Yun Mo shook her head, made an X in her mind, and excluded him.
Monbilo, the head of military exports for Basaion. He was slightly plump in white, with curly hair and a light beard. He looked like a very friendly middle-aged man...
Yun Mo took a look and then looked away.
The nickname "Death Merchant" wasn't given out of thin air. This man didn't care about ideology; he was all-powerful, even among the Alpha Federation. Similarly, he was tainted with a deep sense of murder, not only killing his enemies but also his friends...
Tula? RocoMobil weapons sales representative?
Haha...it's better not to involve people from the Mi family.
Yun Mo was slightly disappointed. Was she being too picky? But the matter was of great importance, and she had to find a suitable middleman.
Guess the background and get a prize...
Well, does verbal reward count?
