754 Five hundred vehicles must not be less and paid in cash, otherwise the price will increase
"Barzan, you, the Minister of Security and Intelligence, don't want to do it anymore? Get out of here! If there is a fourth Iraqi person knows about this, you will know the consequences!" Instantly, Saddam was a little embarrassed, but he did not reply to Liu Yijiu anything...`
Instead, he scolded Barzan, his half-brother.
Barzan is his favorite younger brother and does not have much ability. Although it is often instructed by Saddam, it is obviously used to push the tank now.
After being scolded by his brother, Barzan had to leave in a depressed mood. He encountered many such things, so naturally he had no other thoughts.
Anyway, after the brother comes down, he will appease him.
"Director Liu, we can discuss this matter again. Barzan is too young, I hope you don't mind." After Saddam scolded his younger brother, Kanlam could only smile at Liu Yijiu and apologize.
Liu Yijiu naturally took advantage of the situation and made up his mind that Saudi Arabia must be notified, otherwise it will be ruined by Israel before the missile is transported to Saudi Arabia. No matter what, even if the missile is transported to Saudi Arabia, or if the key components of the missile are transported to Saudi Arabia and then displayed by the outside world, the pressure will be much less.
"General, our cooperation should be based on mutual win-win situations. If you feel that China urgently needs a lot of foreign exchange to promote the country's economic development and reform and opening up, and feel that we can accept some undivided demands and unequal treaties, this is wrong!" Liu Yijiu warned again.
"This is natural. Director Liu, you also know that our country's foreign exchange has been almost gone in the two-year war. Most of the weapons and ammunition need to be imported from abroad. Moreover, because the war is mainly born on the southern border, this is a very painful thing for us. Not to mention the economic regression, domestic oil exports have also been greatly affected..." Kanlam hopes that Liu Yijiu will not insist on paying in full cash.
"General, Saudi Arabia has provided you with a special fund of one billion US dollars to purchase Chinese weapons and equipment!" Liu Yijiu is naturally clear about these things.???`The billion US dollars Saudi Arabia has given Iraq is the face of King Fahd. "Or, we will suspend cooperation and we will negotiate with Saudi Arabia. Then you two sides will negotiate? Anyway, these weapons will be transported to your territory through Saudi Arabia."
Liu Yijiu's words made Saddam have no excuse to solve the current predicament.
The two sides did not have much difference in price, but they could not continue to discuss payment methods. Saddam hoped to leave these funds to purchase short-range tactical missiles that could attack Tehran, Iran, from the Soviet Union. However, due to the restrictions on the Missile Technology Agreement, missiles with a range of more than 300 kilometers and a warhead weighing more than 500 kilograms are restricted. They can only purchase the Scud B missile currently owned in China, which is the model code-named Ss-1b, with a range of only 300 kilometers and a warhead weighing more than 500 kilograms.
Scud C, NATO code-named SS-1c, has a range of 600 kilometers. Although the warhead is still 500 kilograms, the range is far beyond the limit agreement.
The Soviets did not want Iraq to have such missiles.
Finally, Iraq found a way to replace three bombs with two bombs, saw off one missile from the middle, and then welded it on two missiles respectively, and reduce the loading amount to increase the range. The Soviets expressed support for this idea and provided technical assistance secretly.
In this way, Iraq can have short-range ballistic missiles with a range of 600 kilometers.
If three bombs are replaced with two bombs, the number of Scud missiles required is huge.
The price of a Scud B reaches more than one million US dollars, and hundreds of them can be purchased with a billion US dollars!
"This is not possible!" It is a dilemma to buy missiles to threaten cities within Iran. Or to buy tanks to resist religious fanatics of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and counterattack Iran, occupy their southern oil fields and port cities.
After all, the missile has a range of 600 kilometers. As long as Iranian tank stationing location is found, it can attack at a longer distance, so that there is no need for too much loss! And the more you attack forward, the greater the deterrence of the missile.
Liu Yijiu negotiated with Saudi Arabia to ask Saudi Arabia to help them purchase weapons, which is not OK. The Saudi royal family is not a good person either.
"Then there is nothing to do. Mr. President, you can think about it first. Our itinerary is very slow and there is not much time. Tomorrow, we will leave Iran and return to Saudi Arabia." Liu Yijiu did not say that the next itinerary would be in Iran.
If Saddam was unhappy and killed him directly, it would be a big problem.
There was no way for Saddam to give Liu Yijiu's ultimatum.
"In addition, Mr. President, if your country reduces the procurement quantity, this will lead to an increase in our production costs, and there may be a slight change in the price..." Liu Yijiu turned his head and said to Saddam in a bad mood when he left.
After saying that, he left.
Barzan was driven away by Saddam, so naturally no one was responsible for Liu Yijiu's safety. Fortunately, someone in the Presidential Palace took Liu Yijiu and the others back to their residence.
"Bastard!" Saddam's mood became very bad when he saw Liu Yijiuyang's long back, and a cloud suddenly surged on his originally gentle face. "Young people from such a poor country can bully us!"
Kalam sighed, "His Excellency President, although they are poor countries, they are a big country! Even if they do not have more advanced weapons and equipment, they have the ability to drive weapons, produce weapons, and have the nuclear deterrence ability to be deployed remotely, etc. Now, it is not that he is asking to purchase from us, but that we need to purchase from them."
Saddam also sighed and sat down powerlessly. He knew very well that although Iraq had bought a lot of advanced weapons and equipment from the Soviet Union, Iraq was not enough to see in front of a real big country.
Even Israel is not as good as it is.
Countries with nuclear deterrence capabilities are more straight than those without nuclear deterrence capabilities.
Iraq is also conducting nuclear research secretly, but the progress is not too large.
They also want to be like Israel, where Americans support mushroom bombs, but Arabs are not Jews.
"What should we do now? Do you agree to purchase according to their terms?" Saddam sighed again.
"If we don't buy their Dragon Guards, what should we do on the battlefield? Whether it is the Soviet Union or the United States, the most advanced tanks will not be sold to us, and they have reduced their technical configuration. Moreover, they regard us as their weapon test site! If the Soviet Union or the United States can sell us a tank that is more powerful than the Dragon Guards, we will not be like this!" Although the Soviet Union and the United States both scoffed at the Dragon Guards, Kanlam, who had been in contact with them, was indeed very clear about the tensions of the Americans and the Soviets.
The Americans and the Soviets sent a lot of experts to Basra, mainly to analyze why their tanks were destroyed by the Dragon Guard.
Moreover, the intelligence departments of both sides were working hard to pursue the performance parameters of Longwei and the hidden technical secrets. In the end, they got it, but said nothing.
I just told the Iraqis that their tanks were not worse than the Dragon Guard. The reason why the Dragon Guard was powerful was that the Iranians' luck and the quality of soldiers were stronger than Iraq.
This made Saddam so angry that he jumped.
The last time I sent a delegation to China, China now does not have many weapons that can attract their attention, and Longwei's production capacity is too low, and the order has been scheduled for several years. In addition, China has refused to provide some technology to Iraq with mushroom bombs, so no contract was finally reached.
And this time, they didn't even mention it.
As a result, the relationship between the two parties was not very good, mainly because neither party gave the other party what they wanted.
"And, it is foreseeable that this time we have a feud with each other, and Liu Yijiu is likely to help the Iranian government persuade China to export non-banned conventional weapons and equipment to Iran on a larger scale, and even prohibited weapons and equipment. China did not join the Missile Technology Agreement!"
Kanlam's words changed Saddam's mind.
This young man has an extraordinary status in China, and he knows it.
With the young man's nature, he knew that this situation was very likely to happen. At that time, Iran would win steadily on the battlefield, and they could only ask for the purchase of weapons and equipment from China that the other party had actively promoted to them.
No matter what, behind them are the two giants on the earth, the United States and the Soviet Union!
"If we pay in full, will our funds be sufficient? Will it affect the transactions in the Soviet Union?" Saddam was silent for a long time before asking Kanlam.
"It will affect, but it is not a big problem. Your Excellency President, I think we should still strengthen our relations with China. China's military industry level is not as bad as we imagined! The Soviet Union's is not as powerful as we imagined. Their air defense missiles shot down our MiG-25 fighter jets are proof. Most of the best things in China have been hidden! Until now, their military parades have nothing else except for the appearance of two huge missiles..."
In 1981, China held an abnormal military parade that shocked the world.
In this military parade, the world saw that the Chinese long-range intercontinental missiles were more powerful than they imagined. They always believed that the Chinese did not have intercontinental missiles. As a result, China never announced them!
