"A French aircraft carrier???"
They knew that the Vietnamese army, air force, and navy were all equipped with F-series equipment. They sent people to investigate, but they couldn't find out why.
Even at its peak, the Gallic Rooster could not have possessed so many.
"You think it's not enough?"
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head, saying, "Alright, I'll add five more for you! That's my bottom line!"
"Just think about it: fifteen aircraft carriers, 675 D.790 carrier-based fighters, 450 V-156F carrier-based dive bombers, 600 Bre.810 carrier-based torpedo bombers, plus bullets and bombs. With these weapons, your British navy will fear no powerful enemy!"
Victor Hope was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "Fifteen aircraft carriers would indeed make our British Navy fearless against any powerful enemy."
"But what we lack now is not aircraft carriers, but the weapons and equipment needed by the army and air force. Relying solely on fifteen aircraft carriers cannot turn the tide of the war."
Archibald Wavell chimed in with a few words.
"Oh, these are minor issues."
Lin Feng waved his hand and said casually, "I will provide you with five million MAS 1936 rifles, 300 million rounds of ammunition, 100,000 light and heavy machine guns of various types, 70,000 artillery pieces of various types, 40,000 tanks of various types, and for the air force, I will provide you with 20,000 fighter jets and 10,000 bombers."
"Navy: 400 submarines, 500 destroyers, 400 cruisers, 200 battleships, and 1,000 transport ships, all French. How about that? Are you satisfied?"
!! !! !!
!! !! !!
Victor Hope and Archibald Wavell were shocked.
So much stuff?
Seventy thousand artillery pieces of various types!
40,000 tanks of various types!
30,000 fighter jets of various types!
More than 2,500 warships of various types!
Anyone who hears such numbers would find it hard to contain their excitement.
"President Lin, is all of this true? You're not lying to us?"
Victor Hope pressed for an answer.
"Whether it's true or not, you'll find out after watching the performance tomorrow."
Lin Feng revealed a strange smile.
He has now unlocked the German series equipment, and both the Army and Air Force have been upgraded, retaining only some practical French series equipment.
And can't we just leave the huge F-series inventory entirely for civilian use?
Therefore, selling it quickly and exchanging it for something practical is the best option.
Victor Hope and Archibald Wavell exchanged a glance and voiced their concerns: "President Lin, how are you going to deliver so many supplies to the British Isles?"
"That's your problem. I'm only responsible for getting the goods to India; I don't care about anything else."
Lin Feng said casually, "Of course, we will also send a fleet to escort a small portion of the equipment to the British Isles. At that time, just make sure your allied navy doesn't fire at us."
Lin Feng's reason for deceiving both sides and transferring supplies was to obtain a pass from them, so that neither side would attack him and give him the green light.
Only then can his subsequent plans proceed smoothly.
Victor Hope and Archibald Wavell looked at each other in bewilderment.
Now for the last question—the price.
"And what about the price? Chairman Lin, what price are you planning to sell these supplies at?"
Lin Feng smiled faintly and took out a map. "I don't ask for much. First, you can lease to us the Burma, Hong Kong, and Singapore that the British Empire colonized. Let's say the lease period is... two hundred years."
"Secondly, your domestic oil refineries, chemical plants, arsenals, shipyards, steel mills, metallurgical plants, engine manufacturing plants, automobile manufacturing plants, as well as corresponding enterprises such as railways, highways, bridges, and dams, should all send technical experts and skilled workers to our National League territory to assist us in building factories."
“We will not only give them a salary, but also give them villas to live in, and their living conditions will be very comfortable.”
"Of course, we will not touch your core secrets."
Victor Hope and Archibald Wavell's expressions changed drastically.
These are the foundations of their country, and they absolutely cannot be handed over lightly.
However, Lin Feng then presented them with an even bigger gift.
"Once this deal is completed, as long as your people arrive in northern Vietnam, I will give you thirty aircraft carriers for free in return. Apart from that, I will try my best to meet any reasonable requests you make."
Thirty aircraft carriers?!
Victor Hope and Archibald Wavell were instantly stunned.
You bastard!
You keep talking about dozens of aircraft carriers!
You also want our people to help you build arsenals and shipyards!
You don't even have a complete industrial system, so where do you get an aircraft carrier?
Where did all those weapons and equipment come from?
Are you kidding me?
In an instant, Victor Hope and Archibald Wavell expressed doubt about the number of weapons Lin Feng had previously proposed.
He definitely didn't!
"President Lin, if I may be so bold as to ask, do you really have dozens of aircraft carriers?" Victor Hope asked calmly, suppressing his excitement.
We'll find out tomorrow.
Lin Feng stood up, dusted off his clothes, and said with a smile, "I wish you sweet dreams tonight."
Before he finished speaking, he pushed open the door and walked out.
Victor Hope frowned and pondered for a long time.
“Governor, is this true? I have a feeling he’s lying to us,” Archibald Wavell said hesitantly.
