Chapter 107: Unexpected Harvest

  The Huangchao Hotel may not have as long a history as the Haicheng International Hotel, but in terms of both decoration and hardware facilities, it surpasses the Haicheng International Hotel.

  Mo Shaokun brought two Soviet people to room 1109 on the 11th floor, then asked Wang Jun to open a bottle of red wine and chatted with them casually.

  "I represent the Great Yamato Empire to thank you both for your help, if this transaction is successful, you two will become the most honored guests of our Great Yamato Empire!" Mo Shaokun leaned on the sofa with a high and mighty smile on his face, which was in line with his identity as the crown prince.

  The two of them had already let their guard down and were still quite friendly towards Mo Shaokun. Although the crown prince of a foreign country meant nothing to them, after all, he was still their benefactor, and they pinned all their hopes for wealth and glory in the second half of their lives on him.

  "Your Highness is too kind, I'm sure your side will be very satisfied with this transaction." Ivanovich said with a smile.

  Sergei, sitting next to him with his legs crossed, swirled the red wine in his cup and said: "Not just satisfied, Your Highness, but to be blunt, you've gotten an incredibly good deal! For a mere $300 million, you're getting decades of Soviet research on aircraft carriers, including some of the most core technologies, as well as detailed blueprints for three nuclear-powered aircraft carriers that were designed but never built due to various reasons. Where else in the world can you find such a bargain?"

  Mo Shaokun's face stiffened upon hearing this, and he embarrassingly found his heart skipping a beat before rapidly accelerating. Wang Jun and Li Qiang, who were standing beside him, also momentarily froze in their actions, then widened their eyes and exchanged a glance!

  Decades of Soviet aircraft carrier research materials? And the most core technology? Moreover, there are three nuclear-powered aircraft carriers that have been designed but not yet built?!

  Is this for real? If it is, then we've really caught a super big fat sheep this time!

  It is well known that the Soviet Union was once the only superpower in the world that could rival the United States! Since the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia, which inherited most of the Soviet Union's territory and legacy, has been trying to restore its former dominance, but unfortunately, it has not yet come true.

  Until Mo Shaokun was reborn, for more than 20 years after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Russia had not been able to build a brand new aircraft carrier. The aircraft carriers they owned were still left over from the Soviet era.

  Does Russia not want to build it? No! Everyone is clear about Russia's military ambitions. But why haven't they built a single aircraft carrier in over 20 years? Some say it's because of Russia's economy, but Mo Shoukun just laughed at that. For a country like Russia that values military power the most, if they really wanted to build an aircraft carrier, could economic reasons alone stop them? One aircraft carrier may be expensive, but Russia is not so poor that it can't even afford one or two!

  The only explanation is that Russia no longer has this technical capability, which is a widely accepted view among later generations. To say nothing of other things, just take the aircraft carrier that Russia built for India as an example. It took more than a decade to build and repair it, and finally when it was launched, it broke down after sailing in the sea for a circle and had to be towed back for re-repair. At that time, many people joked that India was a fool who spent money to let the Russians practice their skills.

  Previously, Mo Shaokun was not clear about the inside story, but now he found that perhaps everyone had guessed it right. Russia did not build an aircraft carrier, not because of economic reasons or they didn't want to, but because they lost their core technology!

  Mo Shao Kun's excitement was beyond words, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "This is just a replica, as a replica, the price of $30 million should be satisfactory for both of you." Even if what these two people said was true, if they were going to sell this information to several or even dozens of countries, then this information would lose its original value.

  "A copy? NO, NO, NO! Maybe he's a copy, but it's the only one in existence! When my homeland was crumbling, I personally destroyed all the data. I can guarantee that this is the only one in the world! Even the Russian government doesn't have as much information as we do!" Sergey sneered.

  Mo Shaokun's heart was delighted, and he pretended to be puzzled, asking: "Oh? May I ask why you want to do this?"

  "The risk of this transaction is too great, selling it to more countries may bring us more money, but it will also put us in danger. In recent years, we have been drifting around looking for buyers, but those damned KGB are like ghosts threatening our lives. Several times we were about to complete the transaction, but they disrupted it. If we didn't want to make a quick buck and find a safe place to spend the rest of our lives in peace, how could we sell such valuable information for only $30 million?" Ivanovich said.

  "Selling out one's own country indeed requires taking a great risk." Mo Shaokun chuckled lightly.

  "I have to correct you, we are Soviet people, but not Russians! Our homeland has become history." Sergei said with a frown.

  Mo Shaokun nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any more questions. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, many people did not recognize this new Russian regime, and these two in front of him were probably no exception.

  But if these two are telling the truth, where did all this information go in the previous life? It's absolutely not in Russia's hands, which can almost be confirmed. If it were in Russia's hands, they wouldn't have been unable to build an aircraft carrier for over 20 years.

  Is it really cheaper for the Japanese? It doesn't seem like it, at least before Mo Shao Kun's rebirth, Japan didn't have the capability to build large aircraft carriers.

  Mo Shaokun did not know that in the previous life, this information had not fallen into the hands of any country! Sergey and Ivanovich ultimately failed to reach a deal with the Japanese, and the Russian government's wanted notice for them made them restless every day. In the end, when the two escaped, the mail boat they took sank in the Western Pacific, and these precious materials also accompanied the two to sink permanently into the sea...

  Mo Shaokun chatted with them for a while, then glanced at the time and left the room on the pretext of calling the expert group to confirm the arrival time.

  Back in his own room, Mo Shaokun's face was flushed as he trembled and took out his phone to directly dial his uncle's number.

  "Hello."

  "Uncle, it's me. I have... something big to tell you. Is there anyone around you right now?" Perhaps he was too excited, Mo Shaokun's words were all stuttering.

  "Hmm? What's so important that you need to tell me, kid? I'm alone right now, go ahead and say it." Mo Hongjun chuckled.

  At that time, Mo Shaokun hastily told his uncle about the matter, from the unexpected encounter in the coffee shop to the recent conversation, telling Mo Hongjun everything without missing a single detail.

  There was silence on the other end of the phone, and after a long time, Mo Hongjun said in a low voice: "Shao Kun, this is not a joke."

  "Uncle, I'm not joking with you. They're in the Gobi room right now. I've got Wang Jun and Li Qiang keeping an eye on them inside. Although we can't confirm their authenticity for sure yet, I think even if there's just a one-in-a-thousand chance, we can't let it slip by!"

  On the other end of the phone, Mo Shaokun said, "Uncle, I suggest we don't use force this time. Let's just trade with them as Japanese people. If the information is real, even if it's three billion US dollars, not just three million, we'll still make a profit! And this way, even if they're caught by the Russian government and investigated for leaking the information, it won't have anything to do with us. Let Japan and Russia deal with each other."

  "After a long while, Mo Hongjun said in a low voice: 'Alright, I know. You stabilize them first, and I'll call you later.'"

  After hanging up the phone, Mo Shaokun let out a long sigh. If those materials were true, it would be a rare opportunity for China! Think back to when China bought a second-hand aircraft carrier from someone and the whole country celebrated with great fanfare. Why? Wasn't it because every Chinese person hoped that their motherland could become strong and prosperous?

  As a Chinese, Mo Shaokun's sense of national honor is no less than anyone else! He is very proud to be able to do something for the country!
