Chapter seven hundred and forty seventh arms sales again
"Didn't the UK also buy such early warning aircraft? Moreover, the UK has been delaying and cannot afford to pay the subsequent fees. You might as well build the early warning aircraft for the UK first and fly to Iraq. We can pay the full amount. As far as I know, after you deliver the Saudi early warning aircraft, it is the UK, right?" Kusai asked.
Of course, Kusai knew that the e-3 was sold very much. Although he also wanted this kind of early warning aircraft, the United States would never export it. This could be regarded as a strategic weapon. If the United States really sold it, the Jews in their country would probably have to go to Bush's doorstep to curse. And his suggestion was purely disgusting to the British.
Want to grab the UK? How is that possible! Brightman didn't know how to reject this arrogant person, so he heard President Kusai say: "If you can sign this contract with us, we will invest a lot of energy in oil production. Tomorrow we can increase crude oil production by one million barrels a day, and we may eventually break through the scale of 3 million barrels a day. We are confident that we can lower the oil price to a suitable level, for example, twenty dollars a barrel."
Taking up rich oil field resources and the large amount of crude oil in the early inventory, Kusai is too confident to say this, but this is definitely possible.
Now the trump card has been revealed, but Brightman did not agree at the moment, but reported all the details of the arms sales agreement to Washington. Brightman did not have that much power to deal with such a large amount of arms sales.
After receiving Brightman's report, the United States held another meeting.
"Iraq is blackmailing us, trying to exchange one million barrels of crude oil for the output of our high-tech weapons, especially advanced early warning aircraft, and also trying to grab the British early warning aircraft. This is absolutely impossible," said Defense Minister Weinberg.
"Early warning aircraft must not be exported, but we might as well consider other less important projects, such as something on the second page," Bush said.
"Other than the one on the first page, the rest cannot be considered." Weinberg was still very persistent.
"Everyone, you can find that it represents certain information in Iraq," Bush said.
What information? Isn’t it just those weapons?
"The ones on the first page are within our psychological endurance, I guess. Kusai knows that we will agree with these, so we are listed in the front and the last page. We cannot export them no matter what, so we are listed in the last, and the middle ones. We can export part or deny part. This is the most real condition that Kusai gives us." Bush said.
On the surface, it seems to be from small to large, from subsystem to the whole, but in fact, this is regular, which is the degree of tolerance of the United States! The guy in the Middle East has a very accurate guess. This second page is the real needs of Kusai.
But can this second page be exported to Iraq?
Iraq has implemented the C3i system. If two more data links are purchased, it will definitely strengthen their system. They will definitely break up these data links and use them. Spread them to various links to increase their data communication capabilities. Long-range early warning radar will increase their ability to master air targets, especially the monitoring of ballistic missiles. And those helicopters can increase their army's actual capabilities.
The uh-60 Black Hawk is an excellent multi-purpose transportation helicopter in the United States, used for tactical transportation and rescue, reconnaissance, command, electronic warfare and anti-submarine warfare, and has appeared on multiple battlefields with the US military. The ch-47 has a large load and a large number of crew members, which can improve their tactical transportation capabilities. As for the ah-64 Apache, it can also improve its strike capabilities against the Army armored clusters.
The United States doesn't want to export these things to Iraq.
"Let's select some of these important projects first to see if they can satisfy the appetite of that guy Kusai in Iraq. Let's sell him the Blackhawk helicopter and long-range early warning radar first." Reagan said at the end.
Bush shook his head. He knew that the guy had a big appetite. These things were probably not enough. Now, Iraq can bargain with the United States in a slow and organized manner, but the United States cannot last long. High oil prices are destroying the United States' economy.
"We might as well, plus the data link and ch-47, urge Iraq to increase oil exports to more than three million barrels, and curb oil prices as soon as possible." Bush said: "We need to give Iraq enough sweetness to let them act quickly and save our economy."
In the Eastern powers, there is an idiom called drinking poison to quench thirst. They know that doing so can improve Iraq's military strength, but they have no better way. They must take this step and save the domestic economy first. This is the most important thing.
However, Iraq is very keen this time and does not need a production line for these weapons. As long as these weapons, the United States can also restrict Iraq through accessories in the future.
For the sake of oil, although I know that Iraq is a bit shameless and may increase Iraq's military strength, the United States still partially agreed to Iraq's request. This is another large-scale arms sales, which has brought a lot of income to US workers. At the same time, it has finally begun to change the world's oil prices.
After receiving Brightman's reply, Kusai struggled with Brightman for a long time on other projects that did not pass, especially the e-3 early warning aircraft project. Brightman explained for a long time that the United States did not want to provide it, but it was indeed due to insufficient production capacity. After another discussion on the quotation given by the United States, Kusai reluctantly agreed to these projects and promised to prepare for the increase in production immediately.
After Brightman left, Kusai was overjoyed. After the relationship with the United States was farther away, he did not expect that he could import so many things from the United States! He was satisfied with the weapons on the first page, not to mention that there were data links, long-range radars, and two types of helicopters. He had already made enough money this time, and he still had enough funds to buy these things!
He made another big profit by using this oil futures speculation. At least next year, he would not have to worry about where to find money. Iraq's military industry will usher in a new ** again.
According to Kusai's plan, in order to crack down on the British oil industry, Iraq originally planned to increase crude oil production. However, this has caused trouble for the Americans out of thin air and brought such great benefits to Iraq. It seems that the so-called politics is how to torment people's art.
As Iraq continues to increase crude oil production, it will also gain more favor from the United States. When speeding up the shipment of the ordered weapons, Iraq can also consider importing some things from the United States in the short term.
Kusai sent a message to Hong Kong again, and in the past three days, he kept the last 10% of the futures in his hand, and threw out the rest.
London, England.
Mrs. Thatcher looked at the US ambassador to the UK in front of her and couldn't believe her ears.
"Ronard (Reagan) wants me to let that Iraqi go?" asked Mrs. Thatcher.
"Yes, this is related to world peace and stability. I hope the British can let go of the Iraqi man. Anyway, you haven't found anything from him, right?" said the ambassador.
If the one in front of me was an Iraqi, or other countries in the Middle East, or even an ambassador from France, Mrs. Thatcher could accept it, but she did not expect that it was the American who was speaking for Iraq, hoping to let go of the captured spy.
"That's a spy, and the important information we lost can open a breakthrough from him," said Mrs. Thatcher.
"I am bluntly, now, I don't know if it's a spy. Even if it's a spy, can you find what you lost? You must have no longer stayed in the UK now. For this incident, the UK and Iraq terminated all cooperation, which is also a considerable loss for the UK. I heard that under Iraq's operation, your cooperation with Sweden has also been over. Is it worth it for this incident? "The ambassador said.
Mrs. Thatcher was puzzled that the United States had always been on the British side, but now, although it sounds like the other party is thinking about himself on the surface, in fact, they must have other purposes!
Thinking of the oil production increase just now in Iraq, Mrs. Thatcher seemed to understand a little. Are they asking for someone for Iraq?
Mrs. Thatcher has a very friendly personal relationship with President Reagan, and the United States and Britain are also important allies to each other. However, when it comes to the vital interests of the United States, they still choose to consider themselves first!
"We will never let this Iraqi man go, because it involves our military secrets and the dignity of our UK." Mrs. Thatcher said: "Please tell Ronald that our UK will continue to add offshore oil rigs to increase our oil production. We can also do our best to maintain the stability of the world crude oil market."
The American ambassador was a little embarrassed and said, "Yes, I will pass on my wife's original words to our President."
This is almost the first time that Mrs. Thatcher is tough on the United States, and this is what she must do, because although Britain has declined, it is not the turn of a country in the Middle East to bully it! They have oil, and their own country has it! Why can't the United States see its own oil export prospects?
