Spy-x-War Showdown

Jethro was extremely excited, but out of caution, he didn’t immediately call Corkdor to report his progress, however, he readily agreed to Yang Yi’s offer of two million US dollars.

"Two million US dollars? Transfer, not cash?"

"Yes, transfer only, actually, I wanted to give cash..."

"Hahaha..."

Jethro burst into laughter, then pointing at Yang Yi, he said, "Are you planning to rip someone off here?"

Yang Yi shrugged his shoulders and said, "Two million, if I even give you back one million, I would still keep one million, which is still better than giving it all to Pyatov."

Jethro waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "No, no, two million for those big guns is already cheap enough, super cheap. According to my estimate, 36 cannons plus 8000 shells are worth at least twenty million US dollars. Getting them for two million is a steal, and the key isn’t the price of buying the cannons but pulling off this deal. With two million we can quietly push Kanchelskis into hell, which is a bargain, so we must not alert Kanchelskis for a mere two million dollars. The longer this is kept secret, the better."

Yang Yi looked surprised and said, "Wait, are the cannons really worth that much?"

Jethro shrugged and said, "Cannons are expensive, very expensive. Don’t ever think that cannons, being somewhat ancient weapons, would be cheap. Let me tell you this, there aren’t many countries in the world that can manufacture cannons, and there’s no such thing as a bargain for large caliber artillery."
