When Xiong Gudu heard that the other party was Iraq, he felt relieved. Their company had no trade deal with Iraq, so it would not have anything to do. Iraq said that he wanted to buy these things, and it was not the target of Batumi's restriction on exports. However, the situation the other party was doing was too unhappy for Xiong Gudu. Since it was about business, it would be like to talk about business.

"There is no problem for Iraq to import these things, and our company is very willing to export them." Xiong Gudu said: "However, these machines are very expensive, especially large computers."

Xiong Gu was able to climb to the position of sales manager because he had a unique ability to talk about business. Since the business came, he would never let it go. Two sets of five-axis lathes and two large-scale computers would have to be sold for 30 million US dollars, right?

Since the other party is Iraq, he must make a ruthless sum. He is obviously fighting and has the leisure to buy equipment.

"We know it's very expensive, and we're very sincere," Zafir said. "We're willing to pay four million dollars."

Four million US dollars? Xiong Gudu said: "We sold it to the Soviet Union, but it was still five million US dollars per unit. Your price is a bit low, and our company will lose money."

"It's not one, it's four million and four." Zafir said, giving him face without saying it was four million yen.

"Sorry, if this happens, our business will definitely not be able to be done. Four units of four million US dollars, each of which is only one million, and the company will never agree."

"This is the best." Zafir said: "Your company will not agree. So, I don't know what your government will react when you provide these equipment to the Soviet Union? If the US government knows what you do, what will happen? I'm afraid your company will pay a huge fine if it doesn't go bankrupt?"

"You. You are blackmailing!" Xiong Gudu was very angry and didn't care that the other party was holding a pistol.

"We have no blackmail. The price we give is not low. Apart from the cost, you are completely profitable. It's just not much. If you don't agree, we won't have any objections at all." Zafir is not good at doing business, and he will not talk around the bush, and he will only say so directly.

However, saying this puts more pressure on Zafir, the other party is very tough, and he knows that he has no chance to refute. For $4 million, the company is doing charity at that time?

“I need to report to the company’s upper level.”

"Then I'll wait for your good news."

………

The Toshiba incident in later generations was not until a few years later when the US Navy suddenly discovered that it could not find traces of the new Soviet submarine, and found that something was wrong. Xiong Gudu was fired by the company because of a conflict with the company's senior management. He was furious and reported the story to Batumi. As a result, Toshiba was sanctioned by the Japanese and US governments and was almost on the verge of bankruptcy.

Now, the trend of history is still rolling forward, but because of the time travel of Kusai, at the end of this incident, he took a little advantage and imported two five-axis linked CNC machine tools and two large-scale computers at a low price. Iraq's industrial level has also made great progress because of these two CNC machine tools. The two large-scale computers have allowed Iraq to successfully manufacture its first nuclear weapon in 1984.

The United States is still unaware of these trivial matters, and their eyes are paid attention to the Iran-Iraq War.

"Everyone, Iraq is doing well at the moment and has successfully defeated Khomeini's counterattack. Now the Iraqi army is fighting back and has beaten Ramsil." Reagan smoked a cigar and said to his think tank.

Iran is an evil country. They dare to seize American citizens as hostages. Now, in the hearts of Americans, I am afraid that no one agrees with Iran. The attack of the Iraqi army is greatly encouraged to the United States. Ordinary American people are looking forward to Iraq's attack to Tehran as soon as possible.

This is just the idea of ​​ordinary people.

For Reagan's think tank, many people don't think so.

Reagan just said that it was just his humor, and his subordinates knew what he thought.

"Looking at the current situation in Iraq, I am afraid that the entire Iranian province of Khuzestan will be in their hands. Then, Iraq will be similar to Saudi Arabia and become the second largest oil reserve country in the world." said Minister of Energy James Edwards.

Khuzestan Province accounts for 90% of Iran's total crude oil reserves! Iran's total reserves account for 11% of the world, and Iraq accounts for 9.7%. Together, Iraq will account for nearly 20% of the world's oil reserves! This number is very amazing.

Although the United States began to change its oil import ratio after the last oil crisis and imported more oil from Canada in the north, it is currently inseparable from the oil resources of the Middle East.

If Iraq can master so many oil resources, is it beneficial or disadvantage for the United States?

Damn oil, if it was in the United States, how good it would be! If the United States was close to them, how good it would be! The senior Americans present had such an idea all the time.

"At present, Iraq has a good relationship with us, and there have been rumors that there have been some changes in Iraq. Now it is Kusai who holds power in Iraq." said CIA Director Casey: "Kusai is more inclined to us, and with his support, our relationship with us is gradually getting closer."

"Is that a rumor?" Vice President Bush said: "Did you CIA not confirm it? Did Kusai put Saddam under house arrest through a coup and gain command of all the troops?"

Casey spread his hands and said, "We cannot confirm this, because Saddam is still in Baghdad, but now the Iraqi army is following Kusai's command. Perhaps Saddam has handed over power to Kusai."

"That's absolutely impossible. Kusai is not twenty years old yet? How could Saddam be so at ease to hand over power to him? Besides, Saddam has been in power in Iraq for less than five years, and they are not like us, and they hold elections every four years." Secretary of State George said.

George said this, too, meaningful. If Iraq could promote their democracy, which was exactly the same as their ideology, perhaps, they could assimilate Iraq.

"We cannot let Iraq continue like this." Poindexter said: "Iraq is related to our oil security, and we should deal with it." During the last hostage crisis, he recommended McFarlane and finally took the hostage back, which could be considered as a solution to the problem. With a little help, he also had some good feelings for Iraq.

"We can regard Iraq as our ally, just like we and Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, as long as Iraq is close to us, then we naturally don't worry that they will occupy more oil resources."

Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are both major oil powers, but the United States never worry because they are pro-American.

But Iraq is not necessarily the case. Iraq is versatile and not only has relations with the United States, but also has great contact with the Soviet Union.

"Although Kusai has maintained a good relationship with us, Kusai does not exclude the Soviet Union. Kusai has even visited the Soviet Union in person and introduced the T-72 production line from the Soviet Union. So, your idea is a bit unrealistic, and he will not support us as firmly as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait." Weinberg said.

It may be very difficult to make Iraq completely turn to the United States.

"Then do you have a better plan?"

"We have to show our influence in that area, and if our power can penetrate there, we can deter Iraq at any time," Weinberg said.

It seems that he is still resentful of the last aircraft carrier incident. This is not the vision of a defense secretary. Even President Reagan is a little dissatisfied with Weinberg's remarks. The incident in dealing with Iran has made a profound explanation of this truth. Sometimes, when dealing with those countries, the force is not good, and he starts to be tough, but he still has to lose face in the end, and even uses the power of Iraq to complete the task.

Moreover, the main opponent of the United States is the Soviet Union. How could the Soviet Union watch the American forces enter the Middle East? Without a reasonable excuse, the Soviet Union would definitely not agree.

"You must have not listened to the news in Tehran these days," said Weinberg.

News in Tehran? What's the news in Tehran? Even CIA Director Casey doesn't know what Weinberg wants to express.

"Is something happening in Tehran?"

"Tehran was paralyzed after being attacked by Iraqi airstrikes. After their TV buildings were finally repaired, the Iranian news department announced to the world that Iraq's current war is illegal, invading Iran and occupying Iran's oil resources. All countries that import oil from Iraq are illegally drawing Iran's oil, and Iran has the right to launch a strike against these foreign tankers."

Of course I have heard of this news, but most people listen to it as a joke.

Their first reaction was that Iran was crazy. Now, they could not fight Iraq, so they wanted to launch a new war and launch an attack on foreign oil tankers transported from Iraq. Do the Iranians want to arouse the disgust of the whole world? Are they not afraid that the whole world will stand up against them?

So, no one would believe that tankers are civilian targets. If an attack on tankers is launched, even the United Nations would not agree.

However, Weinberg was keenly aware that this was a good opportunity.

"If Iran really launches an attack on our tanker, then we can send our navy to escort!" said Weinberg. (To be continued)
