458 Let's give the enemy tanks. Or for us?(1/2)

『→Net.』 provides you with wonderful novel readings.

"General, I think the reputation of Chinese people in the international community is still very reliable. Especially when we are government units, your country can rest assured that this is. Our country has always attached great importance to its relationship with your country..." Xie Kai said the truth.

The relationship between China and Iraq has always been very good, and the two sides also have a lot of trade exchanges.

When the Iran-Iraq War broke out, China even called on the two countries not to fight. However, fighting between two major oil-producing countries is an absolutely good thing for many countries.

"That's the past, and it's hard to say in the future. Besides, this is not a transaction between the two governments." Ibrahim disagreed with Xie Kai's request, "That fifty million US dollars is the part I deserve. Of course, if you think I have taken fifty million US dollars and put forward various conditions, I don't think there is any need to continue the negotiation..."

"General, this is not the case. Paying this in advance is completely different." Xie Kai hurriedly explained, "I really consider this for you. Now our base and 617 have reached a comprehensive cooperative relationship, and in terms of production capacity, we have improved a lot..."

Xie Kai's explanation silenced Ibrahim.

Delivery period, which is what they especially need.

"How many months can you reduce the delivery period?" Ibrahim and the entire Iraqi government were both worried about this.

The Chinese sell tanks, and both sides of the war.

If the Chinese had not had the most cost-effective tanks and without any political conditions, they would have definitely sought tanks from Europe, America and the Soviet Union.

However, the Iraqis have now discovered a fatal weakness of the Soviet Union's most powerful tank T-72 - dying!

Once hit, the automatic loading mechanism and ammunition storage room of the T-72 are easily exploded, thereby blowing up the turret. There is no such problem with the 359 tank provided by China.

In addition, compared with their own use, the tanks exported by the Soviet Union are all simple versions. The armor is weak, the artillery is much less powerful, and even the power performance is weakened, and the price is still expensive.

"12 months. This was obtained after fully communicating with the 617 production base." Xie Kai's delivery time was shocked by Ibrahim.

"Do you have such high production capacity?" It's not that Ibrahim doesn't believe it, but rather doubts.

At the beginning, the other party proposed to deliver it at least 22 months.

"We don't, plus 617, which is the tank production capacity of our entire country." Xie Kai said, "Although there are currently a large number of military-industrial units in our country to military-to-civilian fields, if we don't even have such production capacity, once a war breaks out, we will be chased by the enemy."

If a tank like 59 is produced, it can even produce nearly 10,000 vehicles a year in China.

Later generations of 99a and 96 main battle tanks had low output, not because of capacity limitations, but because the country did not have the idea of ​​so much equipment.

Just look at the Soviet tank manufacturing capabilities during World War II. When Germany attacked the Soviet Union and ended the war, the Soviet Union produced 140,000 tanks in just four years!

China and the Soviet Union could not compare production capacity, but during wartime, all production capacity would be tilted towards military industry, just to win the war and drive the invaders out.

"We lack funds now. For the sake of funds, we may still deliver them in odd and even days like the previous missile production..." Xie Kai said it clearly.

Anyway, everyone knows this, no one just tells it.

"Can you make sure that after we pay all the money in advance, your country does not deliver orders to the damn Persians?" Ibrahim asked.

"Before completing the production of your country's tanks, we can guarantee that we will not provide them to Persian tanks." Xie Kai did not guarantee that we would not sell them to Persian tanks, but to guarantee that the Iraqi tanks would be delivered first and then delivered to the Persians.

Looking at Xie Kai's sincere face, Ibrahim wished he could beat his face.

Too shameless!

"Where is the missile?"

"The delivery is also completed within 12 months. As long as the contract is signed and the money is in place, delivery can begin next month." Xie Kai said calmly.

The Red Flag was originally just a modification, and the warheads and some internal guidance devices were replaced. The engine and propellant fuel could be completed without changing it. It is not a problem to renovate a hundred pieces in a month.

"I need to report to the country." Ibrahim did not refuse. "Can the delivery of missiles be shortened? By the way, what I said last time about cloud bomb technology..."

"Pay all payments in advance, and the cloud explosion bomb manufacturing technology will be sold to you for US$60 million." Xie Kai said with a smile.

As long as you give money, everything is easy to say.

Ibrahim nodded and said nothing.

He could not guarantee whether Iraq agreed or not, and Xie Kai did not know whether Sha Damu was willing to pay all the fees in advance for a few months.

When they started a war with the Persians, Sha Damu frantically purchased weapons and equipment from Europe and the Soviet Union. Many of them were mortgaged with oil, or even directly paid for it. Even if they needed to agree to some political conditions such as Europe, the United States and the Soviet Union, they would be willing to do so.

Only by purchasing weapons and equipment in China, you cannot owe money.

The Chinese are too poor.

And I had no hobby for this kind of thing.

"how?"

"I'll know when the negotiations tomorrow. The possibility is very high. I proposed to deliver all the tanks and self-propelled artillery within 12 months." Xie Kai said, licking his lips.

Wang Guilin was a little worried, "Can we achieve our production capacity?"

"In addition to 617, there should be no problem. Our base is responsible for assembly, and the 541 is responsible for production, and 30 vehicles can be completed per month; the 617 production is higher..." Xie Kai said, "In order to let them pay all the money in advance, I am even willing to guarantee that when delivering them, I will not deliver it to Persia, so as to avoid the situation of delivering the previous small and odd days."

"Don't accept Persian orders?" Zheng Yucheng asked in surprise.

The goods were sold in two companies before, and the delivery was proposed by Xie Kai at the same time. Now we need to change it?

"Not mentioning investment, more than 2 billion US dollars, it can be more than 7 billion US dollars in soft girls! The money can be deposited in the bank, and the annual interest rate can be hundreds of millions, which is enough to support all our current expenses." Xie Kai said.

Domestic loan interest rates are higher.

"What should I do with the Persian order? Now there are 250 tanks in Tanzania and Sudan, which is also a lot of money." Zheng Yucheng said.

"If the Persians still need to produce it, if they still need it, they will make it into production in Pakistan, and they will invest 50 million in it. When we eat meat, we have to give them some soup to drink..."

Anyway, no matter how they counted, the Persians would not get many tanks within six months.

Iraq also didn't get much in the first six months, so that's all preparation time.

"That's how it counts, there should be no problem." Zheng Yucheng felt that the plan was feasible.

"Who is the contact person for the Sudanese?" Xie Kai asked, "I think I should talk to them."

"You really plan to agree with their proposal? I tell you that there is a war zone over there, and the anti-government armed forces are entrenched. If there is a deal with their government, it is naturally the enemy of the anti-government armed forces..." Zheng Yucheng glanced at Wang Guilin and said anxiously, "Pakistan has a lot of opinions. Do you communicate with them first?"

"What do they have any opinions? We started the fighter jet project. In order to relieve their worries, I bought two hundred engines, but they kept silent."

Xie Kai almost forgot the existence of Pakistani people.

He is very resentful towards Pakistan.

"Tank production capacity. They don't know about the number of orders we have in our hands..." Wang Guilin explained.

When Xie Kai first fooled the Pakistanis, he said that the order for 359 tanks was given part of the 359 tank to the tank factory in Pakistan, so that they could recover part of the funds and reduce the cost of using the tanks themselves.

"Col. Isn't your country ready to give priority to the production of a batch of equipment for your country's army?" In the face of Musharraf's accusations, Xie Kai had to pay attention.

This is the future president of Pakistan.

If he cheated too much, it would be fun to affect China-Pakistan relations.

Musharraf had a cold face. Xie Kai's previous explanation made him very satisfied, but now there is no such thing as a huge order.

"At present, our country's borders are very peaceful, and the construction of the production line is about to be completed..." Musharraf said.

"This is just right. Now we are worried that the domestic production capacity is too low to complete the delivery..." Xie Kai pretended to be surprised.

"Really?" Musharraf didn't believe it.

"Yes, and their orders are produced by your country and delivery is more convenient." Xie Kai said sincerely.

"Persia? Don't you know that the relationship between our two countries is very bad?" Musharraf almost roared. "If you produce tanks for Iraq, there is no problem!"

Xie Kai then remembered that although they are all countries with the same religion, Pakistan and Persians believed in different factions.

Khomeini wanted to export the religious beliefs of their factions, so after overthrowing the Pahlavi dynasty, he looked at the Shiites in the Iraqi family next door. Naturally, he must have been flirting with the Shiites in Pakistan.

Especially in the 1980s, Khomeini publicly accused Pakistan's Zia Hak-Zheng Quan of reaction, and the relationship between the two sides dropped below freezing point.

As a result, Sha Damu was unhappy. In addition, Khomeini had just overthrown King Pahlavi's rule and cleaned up the army. In addition, he was sanctioned by European and American support for King Pahlavi, almost destroyed the national defense and let Sha Damu see the opportunity.

The Iraq-Iraq War broke out...

Pakistan has already given face to not beat Khomeini with Sha Damu.

You should know that not only are there religious sectarian conflicts between the two countries, but the territorial disputes in the Balochistan region have also been around for a long time. In particular, the Persians in the 1970s also used the profits earned from the oil crisis to aid Afghanistan and India, which had territorial disputes with Pakistan...

After Khomeini came to power, he did not change Pahlavi's previous policies, and even looked at the Shiites in Pakistan, which made Pakistan even more unhappy.

It can be said that the conflict between Pakistan and Persia has been around for a long time.

Now Xie Kai has asked Pakistan to produce tanks to provide them to the enemy, so how can he prevent Musharraf from igniting fire?

"Col. There is no eternal hatred between countries, only eternal interests." Xie Kai spoke calmly under Musharraf's gaze. "You should be clear that the current relationship between the United States and Iraq is not good on the surface, and Persia is even worse..."

“So what?”

"Your country provides tanks to Persia, which is easy to operate, and the international community will not blame too much. For example, our new tank arrived at a disputed area on the border and was seized by the Persian army..."

"This is impossible! Our army will not surrender!" Musharraf jumped up, "Thank you, if you still think we are friends, don't ask such bad ideas again."

Xie Kai was amused and crying.

It's just a superficial, just a pretender, and it's a long-term trade channel...

"Okay, let's change the way, what if we trade at your border and send it to the Persians in secret?"

"Persia is our enemy." Musharraf emphasized again.

"Do you want to make money?" Xie Kai was also furious.
To be continued...
