Just as Kusai went to Saudi Arabia in person to discuss countermeasures, a negotiation was underway on the other side of the earth. {Book friends uploaded and updated}

Argentina, in a hotel in the capital Buenos Aires.

"Mr. Lombardo, I'm so happy to see you again," said Hickmatt.

Lombardo was not in good spirits. He said: "I am very happy to meet my friends from afar. You are good friends of our Argentine people. In the last war, your country extended a helping hand in time."

The last war refers to the war in the Malvinas Islands a year ago. The great President Galtieri issued a war to retake the Cavaliers by force. Those who participated in this plan included a large number of senior military personnel, Navy commander Annaya, war zone commander Lieutenant General Osvaldo Garcia and others. After the war failed, all of these people fell.

General Galtieri was thrown into a cell, and other military personnel were also replaced in large numbers. Because they were afraid of another military coup in the military, one of the key points of the newly appointed government was to govern the military.

This is also the saddest thing that made Lombardo feel. Unexpectedly, for the interests of Argentina, they fought bloody battles with the British and almost the entire Western camp, and in the end they were such a result!

The Battle of the Horse Island is wrong! Those who command the battle are all war criminals!

Lombardo still remembers that when he took down the island of Cambodia, countless citizens cheered, and the whole of Argentina was in full bloom. Could it be that the people were also wrong? The only thing that was wrong was that the war failed!

After Alfredo Oscar Sant? Let the interim president, the new president, Renal Dobinione, come to power. After he comes to power, he vigorously promotes Argentina's democratic politics and selects a new president through elections instead of a military coup!

At the same time, Argentina's already poor economy after the war has made it worse because of the war and the president's distrust of the military, so Argentina began to vigorously reduce its investment in the military, with aircraft carriers, the most powerful country in South America, Argentina's military strength is shrinking extremely.

Compared with the senior military leaders who were imprisoned and removed, Lombardo was lucky. Because he expressed his opinions before the war and did not support the military's Cabernet War, Lombardo gained the trust of the new president and allowed him to succeed the position of Minister of Defense.

However, Lombardo's power has been greatly restricted. The military's actions require full approval from the parliament. All military expenditures must be approved by the parliament.-< Shuhai Pavilion >-()

The warships ordered before the war were not delivered. They did not receive subsequent funds and those who had already entered service did not receive enough funds to maintain normal operation.

Argentina's pride, the aircraft carrier on May 25th. The modernization improvements that were originally planned to be carried out were delayed indefinitely. Many times, this aircraft carrier just stayed quietly in the port, and did not even have the funds for the departure activities.

In addition to eliminating old-fashioned ships, the Argentine Navy is no longer able to maintain the largest fleet in South America.

So, after approval from the parliament, the Argentine Navy prepared to sell two German-built submarines that had just been completed and had not been delivered to the Argentine Navy, tr1700!

During World War II, German submarines were well-known worldwide, and their famous wolf pack tactics caused countless Allied freighters to suffer. After the war, Germany's mechanical processing and manufacturing industry was still at the top of the world. Because it was a defeated country, Germany could not own nuclear submarines. However, in terms of conventional submarines, Germany was definitely the first. The German submarine 209 class is its successful masterpiece and sold to many countries around the world.

The tr1700 ordered by the Argentine Navy is a conventional diesel-electric submarine built by the North Sea Shipyard of the Thyssenkrupp Group Corporation for the Argentine Navy. This type of submarine is the largest submarine built by Germany since the war and one of the fastest diesel generator submarines in the world.

Argentina signed a contract to order six tr1700s in 1977, including the first two built in Germany and the remaining four are expected to be built in Argentina. The first two tr1700s were just completed this year.

If it had been put into service one year earlier, it is very likely that the end of the Battle of the Falklands would have been rewritten. This type of submarine could have been able to get under the belly of an invincible aircraft carrier.

The tr1700 is built from Hy80 steel, with a water displacement of 2160 tons and an underwater displacement of 2264 tons. The maximum submarine depth exceeds 300m. The power system is four Mtu diesel engines with a total power of 6720 horsepower, an 8850-axis horsepower Siemens propulsion motor and eight batteries consisting of 120 units. The water and underwater speeds are 15 knots and 25 knots respectively. It can continue to perform combat patrol services at sea for 20 days, or continue to sail for 70 days.

What Kusai is more interested in is the tr1700 combat system, which is an improved product of the Dutch walrus-class combat system. The Sinbads type has a high degree of automation. The entire ship can operate it with only 29 people. The German CSU3 search attack sonar used, and the range-to-result intercept sonar is the Duux5 model of Thomson Sintra, France.

The total stock of spare torpedoes of tr-1700 is 22. In combination with the automated torpedo reloading system, although there are only 6 launch tubes on the head of the boat, the tr1700 torpedo can launch the next torpedo within 50 seconds after launch, so the firepower level is very strong.

Such a modern submarine was born at the wrong time. As soon as these two submarines were built, they became children who were not loved by their mothers. The Argentine Navy wanted it, but could not pay the final payment. This was simply a nude irony for Argentina, which was once a naval power.

A total of six submarines were ordered, the third and fourth were built at Argentina's own Astillerodomecqgarcia shipyard. Only 30% of the construction started, and the work was completely stopped.

After the news that Argentina wanted to sell submarines was released, the Iraqis came to the door.

This time it was Hickmatt, because in the last transaction, Iraq and Argentina successfully reached a business selling the Flying Fish missile to Argentina. Although Iraq made a lot of money from it, it still became a friendly partner of Argentina. The characters on both sides of the last transaction were Hickmatt and Lombardo.

So, this is the second time to discuss business, and Hickmatt is very confident.

"It's a pity that what happened last time. If your air force can destroy a British aircraft carrier on the sea, then the outcome of the entire war will be different. What a pity." Hickmatt said. No matter how you say such a thing, it depends on how the other party understands it.

Fortunately, Lombardo did not object, and he was very sorry that if the president followed his advice and delayed the attack for a few months, it would be another result.

"Yes, it's such a pity." Lombardo said: "But we will not forget the help our Iraqi friends have helped us in the critical moment. This time, you come again, are you talking to us about business?"

"Yes, general." Hickmatt said: "We are very interested in the two tr1700 submarines that your country has just built. I heard that your country wants to transfer it, and we really hope to take over this burden for you."

Taking the baggage? Lombardo knew that the other party picked up the treasure!

The Argentine Navy now needs funds everywhere. Thinking of the last time the other party spoke loudly, a flying fish missile actually asked for $10 million. Lombardo knew that friendship is friendship and business is business. Since these two submarines want, they need a satisfactory price.

"We have a very friendly friendship with Iraq. In fact, many countries are trying to negotiate with us to buy these two submarines." Lombardo said: "Since my friends in Iraq want to buy, we are of course very willing to sell them. However, you also know that our current finances are very bad, and all projects are checked by the parliament. If the price is low, it will be difficult to get approval from the parliament."

Hickmat looked at this guy who was talking nonsense and knew that the other party wanted a high price. According to the information, only Taiwanese people are currently in contact with Argentina and hope to buy the two submarines back. However, Germany has expressed its statement: it firmly refuses to sell it to Taiwan, or transfer it to Taiwan by a third country.

Therefore, although Hikmat is not prepared to cut the price, he will never ask for the price all over Lombardo. He is waiting for Lombardo to continue talking.

"Then, how much is the right price?" asked Hickmatt.

"Five billion US dollars per ship, two billion US dollars." Lombardo finally made up his mind.

When Shikmat heard that this person was a soldier, he still couldn't ask for a price, or he was kind-hearted and embarrassed to ask for a high price?

The factory of this kind of submarine is US$250 million per ship. Lombardo only doubled the price. When he sold Feiyu missiles to the other party, it increased the price by ten times.

However, this is not buying cabbage, one billion US dollars. Even if it is the oil-producing Iraq, even if it takes over the Iranian oil-producing province, it will make you feel pain in the business, so Hikmat naturally has to cut the price.

"Each ship is 200 million US dollars, 2 400 million US dollars." Shikmat said: "You also know that we have been fighting in Iraq and cannot afford to pay too much money! However, we are very grateful for your friendly move by General, so we will deposit 50 million US dollars for you in your account at the Swiss Bank to express our gratitude. At the same time, you also need funds to move in the parliament so that this business can pass smoothly."

Lombardo almost wanted to get angry when he heard the previous bargaining, but then he heard the subsequent statement, but he was moved. (To be continued...)
