Chapter 430 Iraqi Arms Exports

In formal visits, there is a large process that cannot be determined in just a few days. However, informal visits are different. What's more, in Middle Eastern countries, their relationships are already very close. For example, Prince Fahd and Kusai already have relatively good relationships with each other. It is a very common situation to say hello and come over.

But Kusai did not go to the airport to welcome him. This was an informal occasion and did not need to be so grand. In addition, it was the battle on the front line. Although he did not have to command it himself, it was very important for him to master the entire battle process.

It was not until the convoy that welcomed Fahd entered the Ministry of Defense that Kusai went downstairs to greet him.

Prince Fahd was still in his prime at this time and was full of vitality. He looked at the actual ruler of Iraq. Although the other party was young, he had a sense of maturity and stability. Iraq's future will be created in the hands of this young man!

Kusai was also looking at Prince Fahd who had just gotten off the car. He was wearing the most traditional Arab dress, but his aristocratic temperament was still consciously or unintentionally exuding it. This was learned by the royal family for many years.

"Welcome to His Highness the Prince, my most sincere friend, I am very sorry. I did not come to the airport to welcome him this time," said Kusai.

"Your country is busy with state affairs and is in war. Everything should be kept simple. Since you entered your airspace, you have been protected by fighter planes. It is already very thoughtful." Prince Fahd said.

As soon as his special plane entered the sky above Iraq, the Southern Military Region dispatched two F20 fighter jets to escort the entire journey, because it is a war period, and although our airspace is very safe, it is better to be careful.

After the greetings, we arrived at a conference room within the Ministry of National Defense.

"Your Highness, the last time we completed our agreement very well. I wanted to thank you in person." Kusai said.

The last time was when the Abadan refinery was first started, because Avaz had not taken it down, so they always used Kuwaiti crude oil. Then, they transported the refined oil back to Kuwait and earned a large amount of money from it. Otherwise, their war expenses would be impossible.

Later, after the Avas oil field was captured, the large-scale oil transportation operation was over.

Although this is just a small task for Kuwait, and they have gained benefits, their ability to risk and dare to do so is already the greatest help to Iraq.

"We are brothers in Iraq and Kuwait, and those are all worthy, and we have also gained tangible benefits," Fahd said. "Your country is with the power of one country to resist Khomeini's export revolution, and we should provide some material help."

Kuwait is indeed a friend of Iraq, and Kusai is very aware of this.

"Your country is now launching a counterattack, and it is almost impossible to defeat the abominable Persians." Fahd said: "But your country's expenses must be very large, right?"

If you ask yourself this, Kusai knows, is it the other party who wants to help him? This friendly Arab brother is really enthusiastic.

However, in fact, their overhead is indeed very large.

By fighting to support the war, Iraq won the Avas Oilfield and the Port of Abadan, and tried its best to maintain the normal operation of these two places, so that Saddam owed huge extra debts like later generations. However, Iraq's expenses are also very large.

Needless to mention the newly launched projects, the production lines of c801, f20 and t72, just talking about the current battle, the aircraft group rises and lands, and the armored troops move forward for a day, the oil consumed is astronomical. Even Iraq, which stores oil underground, feels a bit unaffordable, and the ammunition supplement is also very large.

When fighting, it will definitely cost money. The previous two days, it was like a fireworks, and so many cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and laser-guided bombs were fired, which was also very expensive.

To reduce casualties, you have to pay a monetary price.

This is OK in the short term, but if the entire country is put on war for a long time, the economy will still not be able to bear it.

Therefore, Kusai has invested overseas and invested in various projects with the help of Ali Walid and Faisal, hoping to bring great profits.

And the actions of investing in Hong Kong that made a fortune are also underway.

"Indeed, our funds are a little tight now," said Kusai. "In order to support the war on the front line, some of the funds for production and construction have been misappropriated."

"In order to support our Arab brothers in this just war, we have negotiated with Saudi Arabia and decided to provide a free assistance of $500 million to your country," said Fahd.

When Kusai heard him say this, he knew that they must have wanted to fund him a little, especially when he heard that the other party deliberately emphasized the word justice, which made Kusai guess what the other party meant. However, no matter how he guessed, he would never guess that the other party actually wanted to help him 500 million US dollars free of charge!

Five hundred million US dollars, what does that mean? A fighter jet worth 15 million can be equipped with more than 30 aircraft, eight flight squadrons, and a tank worth 2 million, and these funds can even keep up with the total economic value of those small countries in one year!

You know, this money is not lent to you, it is given to you for free.

The two countries are so generous to take action. With these 500 million US dollars, the current war funds of the army can be said to be completely sufficient.

"Thank you so much for my Arab brothers," Kusai said: "You are Iraq's best friends!"

Kusai knows that Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are firmly standing behind Iraq for this war in Iraq. Now, as Iraq continues to win, this icing on the cake is still very necessary.

"We have always firmly supported the war to overthrow the Khomeini regime. No matter how international comments are, we are all Arabs. We refuse to export revolutions. We will never change. I hope your country can withstand the pressure." Fahd said.

Pressure? International comments? Kusai also knows that there will definitely be opposition to the world for his continued attack on Iran.

After occupying southern Iran, Iraq has greater oil reserves and more oil exports. In this way, it will definitely threaten the interests of some countries.

Since Iran is now extremely opposed to the West, the West is still supporting itself. Once Iran is defeated by itself, or Iran changes its attitude towards hating the West, then the West may turn around and hate itself.

In the world, there are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!

"We are now engaged in a just war, and we will definitely continue." Kusai said: "We in Iraq will never succumb to the rough interference of any foreign forces."

Seeing Kusai's firm tone, Fahd knew that although this young man looked easy-going, he was actually a very firm person. At the same time, he was more convinced that this person had the final say in Iraq now.

"We, Kuwait, absolutely support Iraq, and this will never change." Fahd said: "Our Arab brothers support Iraq! We also support you, Your Excellency Kusai."

The best support is money. It is better to give material reality than to make a statement of support.

"On behalf of the Iraqi people, I thank your country and Saudi Arabia for their friendly support." Kusai said, and he also heard what the other party said to support him meant.

"Of course, we also need your country's support," Fahd said.

"We are all brothers. If you need help, please tell me!" Kusai said generously. In short, the other party must not be here to borrow money, they are here to deliver money.

"We and Saudi Arabia are very excited to see that your country has introduced a production line of fighter jets and tanks. Can the tanks produced on your country's production line be seconded to our two countries? We want to do a test. If we can be competent, we want to order a batch of tanks from your country."

This is not just asking myself to help them, but this is just to help them. When Kusai heard this, he was immediately happy.

In addition to self-producing, I also had another purpose in introducing the production line to the surrounding Arab countries!

Although the production capacity is still very insufficient now, we will provide a few vehicles first. After the production increases, we can provide them to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Although we will not ask for the price too harshly, they will have to pay themselves a hard work, right?

Only the opposition of the Soviets can be put aside for the time being. Anyway, after the tanks officially began to be manufactured, their armor, fire control, and artillery were all wanted to be introduced from Europe, or stolen, and the Soviets would not be stuck in manufacturing at all.

Besides, I can export the tanks from these two countries and change them to a new name. Anyway, the equipment has been replaced and it has nothing to do with the Soviet t72.

If military-industrial enterprises are completely self-produced and sold, they cannot make profits. Only exports can produce large profits, and through exports, they can consolidate their alliance relationships.

Finally pull them into their own camp!

"Although we have introduced production lines, the Soviet Union's work did not fully meet our needs. We will introduce fire control and artillery components from the West. After it is officially put into production, it will definitely be provided to your country and Saudi Arabia." Kusai said.

"I hope this tank can be put into production as soon as possible," Fahd said. (To be continued...)
