Chapter 483 The Rich and Wayward Iranian Wants 300 Long Weiyi

"Director Liu, this is General Kanon, the logistics department of the Iranian Ministry of Defense..." Khaliak ignored Liu Yijiu's difficulties, but introduced a group of Iranians to Liu Yijiu with excitement.

The hostage crisis in Tehran should have broken out. Under Khomeini's call, dozens of people in the U.S. Embassy should be controlled by them. After all, it is now the end of November 1979.Liu Yijiu did not remember exactly when the hostage crisis broke out in Tehran, but he knew that the entire hostage crisis lasted very long.

The Pahlavi dynasty is supported by the Americans. The entire Iran has f14 panda fighters that the Americans have not exported to the rest of the world. This is the only country that f14 exports.

All Americans support Iran to prevent the Soviets from expanding their strategic presence in the Middle East. At the same time, Iran’s oil is also very important to the Americans.

It’s just that the Americans supported the Pahlavi dynasty. After the fall of the Pahlavi dynasty, the United States terminated the arms and equipment delivered to Iran. Although they had contact, their conditions were very harsh, especially in October. Wei went to the United States for treatment of lymphoma, leaving the Iranian revolutionaries who had disliked Americans completely out of control.

The 444-day hostage crisis in Tehran began.

"Director Liu, we are very satisfied with the performance of your tanks and armored vehicles over the past few days. We hope that you can provide us with a batch of Dragon Guardian tanks and Bull armored vehicles from your country as soon as possible..." After introducing Carmen, he understood The young man in front of him was the person in charge of these two weapons development units. At the same time, he also controlled the sales rights of these weapons and equipment and directly put forward their opinions.

Liu Yijiu smiled bitterly when he heard this, but on the surface he was calm.

The Pahlavi dynasty has a lot of funds, as evidenced by being able to buy dozens of F14 Panda fighters from Americans at a price of 80 million US dollars.

The current Iranian government should have retained a lot of funds from the Pahlavi royal family. Moreover, when sanctions were not imposed, Iran was still a major oil exporter.Under the current circumstances, they have sufficient funds.

Lao Maozi must not be cheap.

You know, after the war, Iran was beaten to the north by Iraq, which was jointly supported by the United States and the Soviet Union, and lost a lot of tanks and heavy equipment.They lost twice as much as Iraq because of insufficient equipment.

If it were not for the later acquisition of a large number of T72s from the Soviets and a large number of cheap 59 tanks from China, they would not have taken the initiative in the second phase of the war and would invade Iraq.

"Director Wang, please take His Royal Highness to our test site to see the performance of our tanks and armored vehicles." Liu Yijiu remembered the existence of Sihanouk. This guy said he was rich, but compared with the current national strength For the new Iranian government, which is prosperous and has huge oil foreign exchange, he has too little in his hands.

Moreover, long-term purchases are in their interests.

During the entire Iran-Iraq War, Iraq and Iran purchased more than a thousand T72s from the Soviets.

His own Dragon Guard I was a tank developed to target the Soviets’ T72. It was necessary to end their mythology and let the evil Soviets cut off this huge source of profit.They all dared to sell a junk T72 for two hundred and fifty dollars, which is unbearable.

In the face of Liu Yijiu's snobbery, Sihanouk was also very speechless.

But he couldn't say anything.

The scene in front of him convinced him that the young people in China weren't looking for help.

Liu Yijiu is not very familiar with the test site here. Under the leadership of Hariyak, who has been staying here, he took several Iranians into the barracks of the test site. The conditions here are very simple. But for them, it is not very unacceptable.

Beginning in 1973, Iraq and Iran, the two wealthy oil exporters in the Middle East, spent hundreds of billions of dollars importing advanced weapons and equipment from the Western world and the Soviet Union, and became the top military powers in the world. .

Of course, the Iran-Iraq War was commented by the world as a model of "advanced weapons fighting low-level wars." The consumption of advanced equipment is very terrifying.

More than half of the 200 billion U.S. dollars in military expenditures are for the procurement of weapons and equipment. How can you say that you are not tempted by such fat?

Liu Yijiu would never admit it.

It can be said that the Dragon Guard I was prepared for the Iran-Iraq War.He didn't even think about selling it to only one company, but selling it to both sides of the war, and then the performance defects of the Dragon Guard I could be discovered to the greatest extent.

"General Canon, our Dragon Guard I, I think you have already understood the combat performance. Especially the operation is simple and the driving is convenient. The only drawback is that the maintenance requires a higher level of technology. Compared with the weapons and equipment of Western countries and the Soviet Union As far as the advanced equipment of China is concerned, our operation is much simpler..." Liu Yijiu naturally knows that whether it is Iraq or Iran, their soldiers are generally not well educated.

This is very similar to the situation of the Chinese People's Liberation Army during this period.

The Dragon and Guardian model was originally developed in a targeted manner.

"Director Liu, we are very sure about this. Especially some auxiliary equipment of the operating system on the tank is very beneficial to our combat effectiveness. Therefore, we urgently need you to provide training prototypes and teaching materials as soon as possible. ..." Canon did not refute Liu Yijiu's introduction.

Originally, they had no way to go to China. They hoped to purchase a large number of 59 tanks from China, but it is not an easy task to build combat effectiveness in a short time.

Since their leader Khomeini came to power, Saddam has begun to sharpen his sword. Iran is not a fool in this matter.

Who is the boss of the Middle East, you must do a fight.

Throughout the Middle East, their two countries have been fighting for the third position in the world's military strength.

Except for the Soviet Union and the United States, they have more advanced weapons than China.

Iran was dismissive of China with backward weapons and equipment, but China’s combat effectiveness in the Vietnam War showed them that China is not without advanced weapons and equipment.

The all-Soviet weapons and equipment troops of the Vietnamese were beaten up and howling by the Chinese, without advanced weapons and equipment?This is nonsense.

Especially the Chinese anti-tank missiles can kill the most advanced Soviet t72.

Iraq is negotiating with the Soviet Union to purchase the T72, and the Americans’ most advanced tanks, because of the downfall of the Pahlavi dynasty, especially now that the hostage crisis has completely cut off diplomatic relations between the two countries, it is even more impossible to pay them.

"If it's just a sample car and training materials for teaching, this is not a problem. However, we don't know how much you need..." Liu Yijiu looked at Hariyak, and the other party did not know at all. nor.

"Three hundred! We hope to deliver as soon as possible. The price of two million US dollars, we think this is more appropriate!" Cannon said to Liu Yijiu impatiently.

Liu Yijiu was in pain immediately, and he looked at Hariyak angrily.

Hearing this number, Haliak felt painful immediately.

Liu Yijiu sold the tank to them at a price of two million U.S. dollars, because they participated in the development of this advanced new tank, and not for other reasons.

Even if the price is 2.5 million U.S. dollars, one is more than 500,000, and the huge quantity is 300, it will be more than 150 million U.S. dollars!

"Mr. Canon, I guess you will be disappointed. So far, our tank has just been developed in less than a year. Moreover, various tests have not been completed, and many key components and modules have not been added. Put it on. If you don’t add the anti-armor module, or the air defense module, the price is no problem..." Liu Yijiu will certainly not stupidly agree to sell this medium-sized tank specially designed to fight the Soviet t72 tank at this price. tank.

What's more, this tank has led the world trend in a certain sense. It is no longer a simple tank, but a prototype of a war support weapon platform with modern combat concepts!

A T72 can sell for 2.5 to 3 million at the beginning. Although the Dragon Guard I is only a medium tank, its performance is much higher than theirs, so naturally it won’t be sold cheaply. of.

Cannon frowned immediately and looked angrily at Hariyak who was embarrassing next to him.

"Director Liu, my quotation to them is after adding the anti-armor module or the air defense module..." Khaliac was afraid to look at Liu Yijiu's eyes.

Not afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs.

At this moment, hundreds of millions of dollars in profits were lost, and Liu Yijiu wanted to choke him to death.

"Mr. Canon, the price of two million US dollars is actually our production cost, because Pakistan participated in the research, so we gave them the cost price..." Liu Yijiu took a deep breath, not thinking about the more than 100 million. How much progress the US dollar can make on the new tank project, seeing Khanom’s face changed, and continued, “Since Pakistan is offering you two million US dollars, for the face of our partners, even if there is no profit in the end, We also agree to sell to you at this price..."

Two million U.S. dollars, Pakistan will not even want to share profits from it.

"Liu, I'm sorry, this is what our Mr. President meant..." Haliyak said to Liu Yijiu very embarrassedly.

Liu Yijiu was stunned.

When did Zia Hack that bastard hook up with Khomeini?Is it because they are all excited about Islam?Or is it because of the border between Iran and Pakistan?I haven't heard of the good relationship between these two countries!
