404 is indeed short of money, and the gap is not small. As long as you want to start a new project, you have to spend money, not a little bit.

The initial budget for the seventh project is at least US$500 million. Even if there is investment in Pakistan, it will cost US$250 million. This amount of money is the biggest gap.

Iraq lacks equipment. It has been more than five years since the Iraq War. Most of the equipment has been consumed.

The cooperation between the two sides seems to be a win-win situation.

"General, you are indeed right. However, it is not only Iraq's family that needs such equipment, but also your enemies. They also need advanced ground equipment." Xie Kai said with a smile. "They didn't like this kind of tank before, but they showed such excellent performance on the battlefield. Will they not be able to investigate?"

In Xie Kai's view, this is the reason why Iraq is urgent.

Everyone knows that the goods are sold to two companies. It is impossible to sell them to only one company.

This kind of tank has not yet been finalized. The Persians looked down on it at all, but prefer the base to be transformed and equipped with cloud bombs as the ground red flag of the warhead.

The performance was eye-catching and suffered a great loss. Will the Persians give up such a tank?

Won't.

The base's manufacturing capacity is not high. When both sides need it, they place an order, and the situation they face will be like avant-garde air defense missile, which will be divided into odd and even days.

Naturally, Iraq cannot accept such a result.

"That's their problem, but now we are the only ones placing orders, and we are placing orders when they are not yet finalized." Ibrahim looked at Xie Kai, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.

It’s not because he wants to say that even if he doesn’t, China will know the situation.

In the entire logistics maintenance team, there are technical personnel from Hongqi Machinery Factory.

"General, I can't agree to you about this matter now. I need to communicate with my superiors." Xie Kai knew that there would be no result if he continued to talk.

Why are the Iraqis so urgent to get a huge number of 359 tanks, even if they have many technical problems?

After saying that, he handed back the promissory note in his hand that was already warm.

He couldn't reply whether it was a price cut or just a production for an Iraqi family.

Ten million US dollars is a lot, but compared to the losses caused to the base by meeting the other party’s requirements, this ten million US dollars is too little.

"Take it, whether it succeeds or not, this is a gift from the president to you." Ibrahim didn't think about coming back since she gave it.

There is a saying among Chinese people: eating people with a weak mouth, but taking people with a short hand.

Even though they knew that it was unlikely that Xie Kai would help, they were still preparing to give him the ten million dollars. They knew Xie Kai's status in that base.

"I will not receive any reward without merit..." Xie Kai directly placed the promissory note on the coffee table in front of him, stood up and said goodbye.

Only when you don’t take this money will you feel at ease.

After all, he is not short of this money. Although the game console company doesn't know the situation, it will at least not be short of this ten million US dollars.

Hongqi Machinery Factory has been producing game consoles all the time.

"I'm really on the battlefield?" When she went back and told her father about the situation, Xie Jianguo was a little disbelief, "Our tests do not have such advanced data."

"This is also the reason why I wonder. Unless Zhang Deming and others replaced the originally tested Chobam armor during the production process." Only such an explanation can work.

Otherwise, the defense of the 359 tank is not as powerful as it shows.

Xie Jianguo nodded, "There is such a possibility. What if the tank is not negotiated and the other party does not take us to contact the Soviets?"

Have to worry.

Ibrahim went to Jordan in person, definitely not to help the 404 base obtain engines from the Soviet Union.

"This is also what I'm worried about. The Iraqis not only want to cut prices, but also hope that we can give priority to supply. But now here, I don't know what I think in the base." Xie Kai sighed, "But only $3 million per car, the price is indeed a little higher."

"Are you really going to sell them for $2.2 million? Although the profit is still not low, the cost is not low." Xie Jianguo looked at Xie Kai, "Just let them talk about the base matter. It is not a good thing for you to interfere in these things."

"I want to intervene, can it work?" Xie Kai looked at his father, "You and Kachihud and others in Pakistan may even go there."

"Go to sleep!" Xie Jianguo was a little embarrassed for a moment.

There are not many things he can make decisions about the tank project, especially in terms of international cooperation and arms sales, so he has no right to make decisions.

On the contrary, Xie Kai can still make the decision.

Where can Xie Kai sleep?

Turning to Tian Li, "Do you have any contact with the Embassy in Jordan?"

Tian Li looked at Xie Kai, wondering why Xie Kai remembered to contact the embassy.

"I need to contact the country," said Xie Kai. "The embassy's contact channels are safe."

"You can't get the contact information of the embassy." Tian Li shook her head, "When I came, Director Zheng said that if you have any ideas or need to contact the base, I will convey it."

Xie Kai looked at Tian Li and measured her credibility in his heart.

When I thought about it, I told Tian Li directly that the Iraqis wanted to purchase 359 tanks for $2.2 million. The price was too low, and $3 million per vehicle was indeed too high.

It even asked Tian Li to report back the results of the 359 tank's first battle on the battlefield.

"Don't worry, I will report as soon as possible." Tian Li promised Xie Kai.

Xie Kai was too lazy to pay attention to it, so he ran to bed by himself.

The next day, the Jordanian side continued to talk nonsense with the delegation and did not mention any serious matters.

Ibrahim didn't seem to appear.

This made Xie Jianguo and others very depressed. They came here to seek a fighter jet contract.

Even if the Soviets did not contact the Chinese representatives in Jordan, they should not waste such time, right?

Until the afternoon, a Jordanian general expressed his desire to engage in military cooperation with China, but Xie Jianguo could not make the decision and could only say that he would report the situation.

"Dad, don't think about it. Even if the Jordanians want to purchase weapons and equipment, they will not communicate with us. These guys are helping the Iraqis drag us." Seeing that his father was frowning, Xie Kai understood what was going on. "Besides, this does not conflict with the original itinerary. Isn't it good to have fun in Amman? Our base can't see anything except the bare mountains."

According to the original itinerary, the team will stay in the capital of Jordan for two days and enter the base where the 359 tank is located on the third day.
