750 700 Longwei, how long will it take to deliver? (2/5 for the riden)
"General, in fact, we hope that your side will come to negotiate with Iran. Both sides are friendly countries of our China. Your country has established diplomatic relations with us for a long time. Although Iran established diplomatic relations with us in 1971, and the cooperation has been in-depth in recent years, after some cooperation was launched, the loss is too huge. Moreover, this is not in line with our national interests." Liu Yijiu said hypocritically.
But I was complaining in my heart that if it really stopped coming, where will China go to find such a sucker to save China's military system?
Although the trend of the Iran-Iraq War has changed, it has not been overall, and the consumption is even greater than in history.
The war has only been fighting for two years. The weapons and ammunition reserved by both sides have not been completely consumed, and foreign exchange has not been completely used up. Iraq's air force also participated in the battle between the armored clusters of both sides, which has mainly concentrated the war on the port cities to the south.
Both sides are currently mobilizing troops to compete in the south, and all kinds of advanced weapons and equipment are concentrating in the south.
There were much less wars in the north.
The battlefield showed a strange stalemate. Iraq wanted to attack the port of Mahshahr and the surrounding oil fields. Although Iran had not completely regained their territory, it has now begun to occupy Basra in Iraq and ports and oil fields near the seaside in the south.
Before the storm comes, it is peaceful.
Saddam knew this very well.
"And, to say, there is no eternal friendship between countries, only eternal interests. Although this is not nice, it is definitely pursued by any country. Therefore, in order to maintain the balance between you, if you have any needs, we will also export weapons!" Liu Yijiu said shamelessly.
If these words are passed back, the military boss will definitely not admit it.
The government will definitely say that this is Liu Yijiu's young and ignorant. It is simply his personal remarks.
Indeed, Liu Yijiu also stood on his own standpoint, although he was seeking national interests.
"So, what weapons and equipment are Iran imported from China, and your country will also sell them to us?" Saddam was very angry.
This is typical of eating people without spitting out bones.
The young man in front of me is really hateful.
Especially the old people in China, it is obviously for this purpose. They actually made such a young man stand up.
Without waiting for Liu Yijiu to answer, Saddam continued to look at Qi Hao, who was still dull, and asked: "General Qi, is this your official attitude?"
When Qi Hao heard this, he glared at Liu Yijiu fiercely. The latter looked up at the ceiling disapprovingly and could only say helplessly: "General, this is just Comrade Liu Yijiu's personal remarks! It does not represent the attitude of our government and the military. Moreover, our itinerary was not originally to Iraq, but Director Liu forced the route to change..."
Although it shows why Liu Yijiu said this, and he is also a little unhappy in his heart. Liu Yijiu doesn’t care that his identity represents the country. But those who should lie must have to lie.
When Liu Yijiu sang blushed, he naturally had to sing blushed.
Otherwise, it will cause great harm to the image that the entire national government has always maintained; reads;
Such a shameless country. Only the United States is definitely not something that a benevolent and righteous country like China can do. Liu Yijiu's shamelessness is just like this, not Chinese officials.
His casual words made Saddam shocked.
Liu Yijiu came to Iraq, but it was not approved by the Chinese government?
Saddam immediately asked Qi Hao in surprise, "So, your government has not approved you to come to us at all?"
Qi Hao looked at Liu Yijiu and saw that he was signaling with his eyes. He immediately realized his heart and nodded. He replied sadly: "It is true. Otherwise, our embassy would notify your government when we arrived here. Instead of passing the Saudi notification after we arrived at Saudi Arabia..."
Qi Hao didn't know when Kanlam arrived in Saudi Arabia.
He always thought that Kanlam appeared in Saudi Arabia after they finished the negotiations, but he never expected that Kanlam appeared when Liu Yijiu and Saudi King Fahd first began the negotiations.
"Director Liu, if we reach the tank order now, when will we be able to deliver the goods? Can it be earlier than Iran's?" Saddam no longer cared about anything else, but asked Liu Yijiu directly, if they signed a contract, when would they get the tank.
Liu Yijiu did not expect that the transformation would be so fast.
He had prepared many words, but he had not yet said them.
"General, if you are very anxious, as long as you increase the 10% expedited fee, we can withdraw some of our production capacity to provide you with Dragon Guard tanks..." Liu Yijiu's ability to tell lies is getting better and better.
The new batch of tank orders from Iran were not given to China, but to Pakistan, which already has the production capacity of Longwei tanks.
After all, Pakistan has also invested a lot of money in the research and development of Longwei tanks.
The key components still have to be made from China, and those are the main profits, and Liu Yijiu will naturally not argue. Domestic orders, Pakistan's unfinished orders, and Saudi Arabia's huge orders will make the 541 base busy.
If Iraq wants to do so, it will take many years to come even if it is ranked.
In this situation, Liu Yijiu naturally had to raise the price.
I was worried that Saddam would be forced to force him to force him to sell other weapons and equipment, so the price increase was not too outrageous.
For weapons and equipment that require expedited prices, it is normal to raise prices, which is also an international practice.
"We need two hundred Dragon Guard Type 2 and five hundred Dragon Guard Type 1 tanks!" Kanlam, who saw the president staring at him and had never got a chance to speak, said to Liu Yijiu very proudly.
Liu Yijiu was happy and just spoke, but was stopped by Qi Hao.
Qi Hao said to Saddam: "General, I personally think that there is no need for you to purchase such a large number of Dragon Guard tanks. In the current war, although advanced weapons and equipment are very outstanding, they are mainly used as attacks and combat... I think you should equip more low-end tanks after equipping some of the Dragon Guard tanks, with Dragon Guard tanks as the core, so that you can have more fierce firepower when attacking, and at the same time, you can save a lot of money..."
Qi Hao's words made Saddam and Kanlam a little confused.
Currently, they only receive a war loan from Saudi Arabia for only one billion dollars, and they have to be deducted from the oil Saudi Arabia helps them transport.
The Kuwaiti royal family has always been a staunch supporter of Iraq in the Iraqi War. Once Khomeini's army invades Iraq, they will also be targets of attack.
As for excuses, it would be enough that they were Iraq's biggest war supporters.
But even so, Kuwait has already provided Iraq with nearly $2 billion in support, and more is not so easy.
At the beginning, Saddam's officers suggested that Iraq import a small number of Dragon Guard tanks from China. Except for the Tikrit Division equipped a Dragon Guard regiment, the others were mixed with T72, T64 and M1 and a large number of T54/55 combinations. This formed a high, medium and low combination. Although this demanded a lot of logistical pressure on Iraq, it was not a problem.
The leader of the Tikrit Division's First Armored Regiment suggested that the logistics construction and intelligence system of the Iraqi army should be strengthened.
In this way, they can integrate the armored group and form more powerful offensive firepower and defense capabilities. Dragon Guard 2 can be used for air defense, and when tanks are bombarded, their firepower will be much stronger.
Moreover, saving money is what Iraq is considering now.
Although they are not as good as Saudi tyrants, the two-year war consumes them, so their foreign exchange flow is generally spent. If the war continues, no matter how rich they have, they will not be able to support them.
The appearance of China's Dragon Guard tanks on the battlefield caused heavy losses to Iraq. Especially in the first half of the year, after Iran resisted Iraq's attack, it mobilized huge forces and launched the "Victory Operation" offensive, annihilated two brigades in Iraq, severely damaged two divisions, killed and wounded 25,000 Iraqi soldiers, captured 15,000 prisoners, destroyed 360 tanks, shot down more than 20 aircraft, and seized hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles.
The victory operation pushed the front line to Abadan. In the end, Iraq's dense missile bombing and huge artillery troops blocked Iran's counterattack, and also mobilized more fighter jets to participate in the Southern Front War!
After two years of war, it was no longer the original Iran-Iraq War. The commanders of both sides were utilizing the potential of their respective armies to the greatest extent.
Otherwise, Iran has counterattacked and entered Iraq.
Iraq is ready to hold peace talks with Iran.
However, Khomeini has always wanted to annex the Kurdish region, which has prevented Iraq from withdrawing. After all, Iran does not accept the ceasefire agreement proposed by Iraq, and is mobilizing troops to prepare to counterattack Koramshahr and counterattack Basra.
When Liu Yijiu saw Saddam's reaction, he was furious. Qi Hao was obviously dismantling his own station! This is the order of 700 Dragon Guards, more than one billion US dollars!
In order to sell those backward tanks, Qi Hao actually destroyed this transaction.
I wanted to get angry, but I couldn't do it! I immediately looked ugly and prepared to continue listening.
It is definitely not something Liu Yijiu could have thought of having such a pig teammate.
"Also, you can use the funds you saved to purchase a batch of our latest armed transport helicopters, which have a much better performance than the Mi-24..." Qi Hao continued. (To be continued.)
