#285 - Chapter 285 Military Products Promotion Conference

Bai Li Ji's attitude was approved by all the councilors.

"How about this, Councilor Yan? This matter will still be handled by you. First, purchase a batch of simulated spider robots and conduct a live combat exercise. Test your theory through the exercise to see if the swarm-on-swarm tactics can be effective. If the results are significant, then consider equipping the army in batches," Bai Li Ji said.

"Okay, then the funding…" Yan Zhengping asked.

Purchasing a batch of simulated spider robots is not a small expense. To achieve the combat effectiveness of a swarm, at least ten thousand would be needed, right? Although the price of a single simulated spider robot is still unknown, the base number of ten thousand is there, and it certainly won't be a small amount.

"The council has no money," Bai Li Ji replied decisively.

"Councilor Bai Li, are you kidding? This is a large batch of simulated spider robots. Our Southwest Military Region doesn't have this financial capacity," Yan Zhengping said in disbelief.

Was this a preparation for freeloading?

"If the Southwest Military Region doesn't have this financial capacity, then who would? If not, I would have to investigate your unauthorized construction of activity rooms in the military region, which has affected the environment of the military region," Bai Li Ji said.

Yan Zhengping's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly changed the subject.

"Didn't you just get a 10 million crystal nucleus fine from the Huatong Chamber of Commerce?" Yan Zhengping reminded.

"Councilor Yan, the Huatong Chamber of Commerce is paying this batch of crystal nuclei in installments. The first installment hasn't even been paid yet," Chen Guanxuan of the Finance Department quickly said.

He immediately became uneasy when he heard Yan Zhengping was thinking about this batch of crystal nuclei. These crystal nuclei have too many uses, and no one should even think about misusing them.

"I've never quite understood what the council needs so many crystal nuclei for?" Yan Zhengping asked.

"I understand what you mean. No matter what you say, I will not approve this batch of crystal nuclei. Forget about it," Chen Guanxuan said firmly.

Yan Zhengping meant that since only the Huatong Chamber of Commerce recycles crystal nuclei, wouldn't the crystal nuclei received by the council have to be sent back to the Huatong Chamber of Commerce? Isn't this redundant?

But Chen Guanxuan didn't fall for it at all. His understanding of finance was definitely much stronger than Yan Zhengping's. Therefore, it was impossible to fool him in this regard.

"No, you don't understand. What I mean is that you can actually receive this batch of crystal nuclei in the form of points. In that case, you might be able to recover the fine in one go," Yan Zhengping said.

"You mean let the Huaguo Finance Department open a membership account at the Huatong Chamber of Commerce?" Chen Guanxuan asked in disbelief.

"What's wrong with that?" Yan Zhengping asked.

"I'm afraid that's not appropriate, is it? If we do that, wouldn't the points of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce really become currency? Moreover, the right to issue currency is not in our hands," He Jinghui of the Security Department said.

"That is indeed a problem. But even if the council gets the crystal nuclei, what's the use if we don't go to the Huatong Chamber of Commerce to exchange them?" Yan Zhengping asked.

"We can purchase…" He Jinghui said halfway, then stopped.

No matter what angle you look at it from, you can't get around a fundamental problem, which is that these crystal nuclei will ultimately flow to the Huatong Chamber of Commerce. This fact cannot be changed.

"This is just my personal suggestion. Councilor Chen, please consider whether to adopt it yourself," Yan Zhengping said.

"I will consider your suggestion," Chen Guanxuan of the Finance Department replied.

"Councilor Bai Li, the Southwest Military Region actually doesn't have many crystal nuclei. Most of them have already been used to purchase equipment. This is the actual situation," Yan Zhengping said.

"Is that so? Let me think. Then how about this? In the name of the council, we will hold a military product promotion conference specifically for the Huatong Chamber of Commerce. At that time, let them do a tactical performance of at least 10,000 simulated spider robots," Bai Li Ji suggested.

"…"

Yan Zhengping expressed that you really know how to play.

By changing the name, he directly saved the purchase cost of tens of thousands of robots and also verified the swarm tactics.

"I think it's feasible!" Chen Guanxuan was the first to express his opinion.

As long as he doesn't have to pay, he agrees with both hands.

"I also agree," He Jinghui also expressed his opinion. He was happy that the Huatong Chamber of Commerce was unlucky.

"I say, you people, when did you become so cunning? That's just a newly established folk organization. How did it get in your way? You've already taken advantage of them once, and it hasn't even been a week before you're doing it again. Is this still the council of Huaguo? Is it still the council of the people? Huh?" Zong Zhengyue couldn't listen anymore and stood up to question.

"Bang ~" Suo Tonghua slammed the table and also stood up.

"Damn it! Zong Four-Eyes, I have to say, you spoke like a man today. This is the first time I've been able to see eye to eye with you. Bai Li Ji, I didn't realize it before, but how can you be so despicable? The Huatong Chamber of Commerce is developing well, so you forcibly put a monopoly hat on them and fined them 10 million crystal nuclei. Now you're thinking of ways to get them to do free labor and prepare a tactical performance of 10,000 robots for you. What? Are you going to be the emperor? Everyone has to serve you?" Suo Tonghua also questioned.

The outburst of the two military region commanders shocked everyone.

Everyone's eyes widened.
