Super military empire

The huge order, the total contract value exceeds 2 billion U.S. dollars, however, the Iraqi side has proposed to use oil fields as collateral in terms of payment!

Liu Yijiu originally had opinions on Iraq, so naturally he would not agree.

"General, in the current world, there is absolutely no such precedent to follow. Even if I agree with the future development potential, but when the current war between your country and Iran does not know how long it will last, we do not We may take such a risk, and, without funds, we cannot start production!" Although the other party's order amount is not small, Liu Yijiu is not interested at all.

Although he needs Iraq’s oil fields, at present, Iraq’s crude oil is basically delivered through pipelines connected to Saudi Arabia, and it is transported and exported by Saudi Arabia.

"This is indeed the case, General. In principle, we can only accept about 20% of the payment to be mortgaged with oil fields or oil. Otherwise, our country will not approve export. There are some advanced weapons and equipment..." Regarding prices, Iraq has not suppressed too much. In Saddam’s mind, oil fields are in their hands, and many oil fields are now suspended due to war.

The reason why Liu Yijiu was unwilling to use all oilfields to pay for this batch of weapons and equipment was because he was initially prepared to prevent Iran from launching an attack on ships, but now he has no such idea. Saddam now has both the United States and the Soviet Union. Support, naturally will not put them in the eyes, these weapons and equipment, except the Dragon Guard tank, the other are ordinary weapons, but the price is generally not high.

The Saudi confidence that made him swell, but it was hit in Iraq!

Once Iran launches an attack on ships, Iraq will also retaliate. In the long and narrow Red Sea, oil tankers will be attacked by Saudi Arabia’s huge number of anti-ship missiles, as well as the tactics they invented for anti-aircraft missiles and tankers. Iraq’s oil cannot be shipped to China.

"If this is the case, we will not be able to purchase so many weapons and equipment. We are deeply grateful for your arrival. Director Liu, let's do this, the number of Dragon Guard tanks we purchased from your country will remain the same. No weapons and equipment are needed..." Kanram said with a serious face after being instructed by Saddam.

Qi Hao didn't expect that the other party would use such means to force them.

Immediately there was some dissatisfaction, but did not show it, but hoped to fight for it.

Before Liu Yijiu spoke, he said to Kanram: "General, if you feel that cash payment is under pressure, we can lower the payment ratio..."

"Decrease? We can't pay for some reduction. You know, we have been in war with the evil Khomeini for two years. In the past two years, countless weapons and ammunition have been consumed. Just tanks, the loss is already More than 600, the loss of fighter jets is also a lot. We need to replenish our air force equipment and also need to strengthen the safety protection of our tankers. If you agree, we can pay 20% in cash..."

Karam's words made Qi Hao a little desperate.

Before, they were not like this.

Liu Yijiu immediately laughed when he heard this, "General, I don’t know that your country purchases weapons and equipment from the United States and the Soviet Union. This is also the case? Especially the United States. A lot of your crude oil is exported to the United States and NATO countries. , Will they agree that your country uses oil to pay for equipment? We don’t have much oil trade."

Liu Yijiu's words also reminded Qi Hao that he understood Saddam's mind very well.

If they agree to the arms embargo on Iran and at the same time refuse to sell Iran’s weapons technology upgrades and technical support, negotiations will be much easier.

Iran now has only one source of weapons such as China. NATO countries have not resolved the issue of American hostages. Although they did not express an embargo on Iran’s weapons, they have never delivered weapons and equipment that should be delivered to Iran.

Many of Iran’s conventional weapons are from Pakistan, while heavy weapons are from China.

Iraq has weapons and equipment provided by the Soviet Union. At the same time, the United States has also begun to provide them with weapons and equipment. For them, they have more choices. The price is pressed hard enough. At the same time, the conditions are far. Far more.

They don't need medium-range strategic missiles like Saudi Arabia. Anyway, Israel is far away from Iraq, with a huge area of ​​Jordan as a buffer.

"In addition, cancel other orders. I don’t know how your government hopes to pay for the 500 Dragon Guard tanks? This is a total value of 1.1 billion US dollars, occupying a general share of the entire contract. General, I don’t know how your country intends to pay. What?" Liu Yijiu's voice was cold.

Although I don't want to talk about it, there is no need to talk about it.

200 Dragon Guard II, together with the matching missiles, Liu Yijiu directly asked Iraq for US$3.2 million, which is 640 million US dollars, and 300 Dragon Guard I, also asking for 2.2 million US dollars, reaching 660 million US dollars. !

This price can be regarded as the conscience price quoted by Director Liu.You know, the Saudi tyrants bought naked cars without matching missiles from Director Liu for a total of 2.4 million US dollars!After all, there is demand for the missiles that Saudi Arabia needs. With eight missiles configured, the final price may reach US$3.4 million to US$3.6 million.

The Dragon Guard is slightly taller than Iranian.

After all, on the Iranian side, Pakistan also earned an intermediary fee from it.

Of course, this price is still slightly higher than that of Iran.

Iran purchased missiles separately from tanks.

"We can pay 50% of the cash, and the remaining part can be paid for with the oilfield proceeds." Kanram and Saddam looked at each other and saw Liu Yijiu's change of attitude, he could not help but improve slightly. The proportion of cash payments.

The weapons and equipment they need is the Dragon Guards tanks that are so durable that they can't fight back.

This is the only thing Chinese military industry can offer.

"All cash must be paid, and at least 90% must be paid. We can deliver all within 14 months!" Liu Yijiu said coldly, ignoring that he was a little worried, and kept winking at him. Qi Hao.

"This is impossible! Director Liu, if you can't accept our payment terms, we can only cut our orders..." Saddam did not expect that China obviously lacks foreign exchange, and it is so strong now.

Although it has obtained a huge order from its ally, Saudi Arabia, that is not enough to change the fact that China's foreign exchange reserves are insufficient.

Qi Hao hurriedly interjected, fearing that Liu Yijiu's donkey would get angry, and eventually the two parties would fall apart. The entire order was completely yellow, "We can discuss this carefully..."

"What to discuss? There is nothing to discuss. Longwei is our research and development, we produce, and now the orders are already far away. Moreover, our Ninth Hospital is short of money, naturally who gives the money and who pays the price first, We will give priority to whoever we supply!" Liu Yijiu interrupted Qi Hao coldly.

There is nothing to talk about.

They sell weapons and equipment. Up to now, they have not encountered such a person.

Even the United States and the Soviet Union had to bow to Director Liu, let alone a little Saddam.

"Director Liu, I don't know if the missile deal between you and Saudi Arabia is known to the world, will you have such confidence?" Barzan, who has not spoken all the time, asked Liu Yijiu with a disdainful face. .

Qi Hao was dumbfounded.

What are you afraid of!

The missile deal between Saudi Arabia and China was originally top-secret, but it turned out to be known to Saddam.

At the beginning, he felt that King Fahd was a wrong move. He was unwilling to let Liu Yijiu go to Iraq because he was worried about this problem.

Now Liu Yijiu and the Iraqi parties have made the relationship very fragile. If the other party really leaks this out, the entire transaction will certainly not be so easy under the pressure of the United States and NATO countries.

However, Liu Yijiu ignored Barzan’s threat, looked at Saddam coldly, and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. President, is this your final decision?"

Saddam did not expect Liu Yijiu to be so calm and calm at such a time.

In his view, the reason why young people like Liu Yijiu have the confidence is because they have obtained huge foreign exchange through cooperation with Saudi Arabia.

Now tell Liu Yijiu that they might not be able to get a single cent of the foreign exchange, but Qi Hao panicked, but Liu Yijiu was not at all uncomfortable.

"Director Liu, this is not what I meant..." Saddam was silent for a while before speaking to Liu Yijiu.

"I will report this to Saudi Arabia. Perhaps King Fahd will issue an order to stop domestic oil tankers from helping you transport crude oil when he is angry. I don't know if Saudi Arabia's transportation channel is lost, your country will have foreign exchange sources. What? In addition, I heard that the Saudi royal family and the Kuwaiti royal family are related by marriage. In addition, the Kuwaiti royal family has always been protected by Saudi Arabia?" Liu Yijiu didn't care that Saddam would leak, "I believe that once the slightest news leaks out, Saudi Arabia’s arms assistance and financial assistance to Iraq, and Kuwait’s huge financial assistance, will be completely cut off!"

Hearing what Liu Yijiu said, Qi Hao felt helpless even if he was anxious.

Having reached such a situation, there is no way for both parties to continue the talks.

It depends on whose threat works.

Liu Yijiu's threat caused Saddam and Kanram to change their faces at the same time.

Although both the Soviet Union and the United States agreed to provide them with weapons and equipment, without funds, they would not be ignored at all!

Iraq’s foreign exchange reserves are very small, especially after purchasing a large number of Scud missiles from the Soviet Union, there is still a large amount of expenses that have to rely on the support of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait!
