Extraordinary Genius

Chapter 1313 – This is not easy

Feng Yu agreed to consider it, but he is hesitating.

Feng Yu can donate a few billion USD to the country, but they might not develop the technologies they require.

Without these technologies, China’s military will forever be second-class. Many people say China’s Navy can only be considered third-class and can never be the strongest in Asia.

Other than Japan, Singapore, and many Asian countries’ Navy is stronger than China. This is sad for a big country.

So what if China has the strongest ground forces in the world? Unless they are fighting their neighbors, the Navy will be the main fighting force, followed by the air force. Ground forces are in the last position. Also, the aircraft carrier can bring their air force to their enemies’ doorstep.

China only has the biggest ground forces in terms of numbers. Their equipment is still second-class.

Since World War 1, a strong Navy represents a powerful country. If not, you will only wait for others can attack you, and you cannot retaliate by attacking their countries.

This saying disappeared since intercontinental missiles appeared. But intercontinental missiles are the same as nuclear weapons and are considered strategic offensive weapons. It will not be used easily, or else the US will not take such a long time against Afghanistan. They can send their intercontinental missiles over.

If China’s Navy is improved, it will be a significant upgrade to its military. When China is stronger, Feng Yu’s business will be better. How many super tycoons can small countries produce?

TV and movies have always shown the same scenarios. Americans will always shout “I am an American!” whenever they are in trouble overseas.

In Feng Yu’s previous life, the Chinese have always been decimated until China grew stronger.

Feng Yu hopes that day will come earlier, even though he is the World’s Richest Man and many people started to respect China.

Feng Yu represents Chinese businessmen and China’s economy. But this is not enough. If China’s military is not strong enough, its economic development will be affected.

For example, the US can often sanction other countries is because they have a stronger military.

There is a joke going around. The US can attack whoever they want, and Russia will attack whoever attacked them. The UK will attack whoever the US attacks, and China is the one whom everyone can attack.

This is not true. The US will also not dare to declare war on China because they know China will never start a war.

China’s current policy is not to get involved in wars and concentrate on building their economy to raise the living standards for their people.

The former Soviet Union has a strong military, but its people are starving. That type of life is much worse than now. Filling the stomach should be the priority before anything else.

That’s why China’s economy can grow so fast in the past few years. With money, the government can spend more on its military development and research. Suppose they only focus on military developments even when they have no money. In that case, they might follow the former Soviet Union’s footsteps.

The Soviet Union was dissolved in the end. Although China is not a federation, if its economy crash, it can forget about building a strong nation!

It would be best if China can develop its economy and military at the same time.

The best solution is to get the advanced technologies and learn from them. This is better than starting from zero.

Once China’s military is stronger and can reach Russia’s level, the US will not provoke them again.

In Feng Yu’s previous life, China became the world’s second-biggest economy. It will be faster in this life with his help, and they might even become the world’s biggest economy.

When that happens, it will not be China and Russia working together against the US. It will be Russia and China suppressing the US!

China’s status in Asia will also change! They will suppress Japan, India, and Korea.

Feng Yu thought for a while. Buying the technologies from Russia might bring troubles to Kirilenko. But what if he can get it from Ukraine and Belarus?

These two countries had inherited lots of technologies from the former Soviet Union. But their economies are not doing well because they are poor! China’s aircraft carrier is bought from Ukraine.

Feng Yu rubbed his chin and felt he might get some technologies from these two countries, but he needs a middleman. He is unsure if Brother Ki is willing to help.

…….

“What? Feng, did I hear it correctly? You want to buy aircraft carrier’s technologies, and it includes the hull, engine, and weapons?” Kirilenko jumped up in shock.

Kirilenko had just negotiated about a firearms deal and felt he is putting himself at risk. But compared to Feng Yu, his deal is nothing.

“Have a seat. Why are you so excited? You are the one who said this is a good business.”

“I am talking about selling guns and ammunition. I don’t even plan to sell heavy firearms. You are the one who skipped planes and tanks to aircraft carriers. Wait… are you representing China?” Kirilenko suddenly realizes Feng Yu must be doing this for his country because those technologies are useless.

Feng Yu nodded as he has nothing to hide. He is going to buy those technologies to donate to his country.

“That’s right. I am planning to buy some technologies to donate to my country. You should know that our Chinese Navy is too weak. Can you help?”

Kirilenko is troubled. “Feng, this is out of my league. I can’t help you.”

Kirilenko wants to help Feng Yu, but… this is beyond him!

Feng Yu said the script he planned earlier. “Brother Ki, I don’t need to get it from Russia. Ukraine and Belarus have more advanced technologies than China too. Lithuania and some other countries are not doing well, and I happen to have some spare cash.”

“Are you thinking of getting it from these countries? This… I am not sure if it will work. Let me help you ask around. But these technologies will be more expensive than an aircraft carrier.”

The finished products have protective measures, and you will not get anything out of them even if you dismantle them. But the technical drawings, etc., will be more detailed than the actual item. Most importantly, much time will be saved from researching the actual item.

Feng Yu laughed. “No problem. I am not afraid of high prices!”
