Super military empire

"Barzan, you, the Minister of Security and Intelligence, don't want to do it anymore? Go away! If there is a fourth Iraqi who knows about this, you will know the consequences!" Immediately, Saddam was a little awkward, but he didn't. What to reply to Liu Yijiu.

Instead, he scolded Barzan, his half-brother.

Barzan is his favorite brother, and he doesn't have much ability. Although it is often instructed by Saddam, he is obviously used to top the tank now.

Barzun could only leave unhappily when he was scolded by his elder brother. He encountered a lot of such things, so naturally he had no other ideas.

After coming down, the elder brother will comfort him.

"Director Liu, we can discuss this matter again. Barzan is too young, I hope you don't mind." After Saddam scolded his brother, Kanram could only accompany Liu Yijiu with a smile on his face.

Liu Yijiu naturally took advantage of the donkey slope and made up his mind. Saudi Arabia must be notified of this matter, otherwise Israel will be harassed by Israel before the missile is delivered to Saudi Arabia.In any case, even after the missile is shipped to Saudi Arabia, or the key components of the missile are shipped to Saudi Arabia and then discovered by the outside world, the pressure will be much lower.

"General, the cooperation between our two sides should be based on mutual wins. If you feel that China urgently needs a large amount of foreign exchange to promote the country’s economic construction and reform and opening up, and you feel that we can accept some non-separate requirements and follow-up Unequal treaty, this is wrong!" Liu Yijiu warned again.

"This is natural. Director Liu, you are also aware that our country’s foreign exchange has been scarce during the two-year war. Most of the weapons and ammunition need to be imported from abroad, and because the war mainly took place on the southern border, this is very important For us, it is a very painful thing. Not to mention the economic downturn, domestic oil exports have also been greatly affected..." Kanram hoped that Liu Yijiu would not insist on paying in full in cash.

"General, Saudi Arabia has provided you with one billion U.S. dollars of special funds to purchase Chinese weapons and equipment!" Liu Yijiu is naturally clear about these things. The billion U.S. dollars that Saudi Arabia gave to Iraq was given to him by King Fahd. Liu Yijiu's face."Or, let's suspend cooperation, we will talk to Saudi Arabia, and then you two will negotiate? Anyway, these weapons will be transported to your territory through Saudi Arabia."

Liu Yijiu's words gave Saddam no excuse to solve his immediate predicament.

The two parties did not have much disagreement on the price, but they could not talk about the payment method.Saddam hopes to keep these funds to purchase short-range tactical missiles from the Soviet Union that can attack the Iranian capital Tehran, but because of the "Missile Technology Agreement" restriction treaty, the range exceeds 300 kilometers, and the warhead weighs more than 500 kilograms. The missiles are all restricted. They can only purchase the scud b missiles currently owned in China, the NATO codenamed ss-1b model, with a range of only 300 kilometers and a warhead weight of 500 kilograms.

The Scud C, NATO codenamed ss-1c, has a range of 600 kilometers. Although the warhead is still 500 kg, the range far exceeds the limit agreement.

The Soviets did not want Iraq to have such missiles.

In the end, Iraq found a way to exchange three bombs for two, saw one missile in the middle, and then welded it to the two missiles respectively, and reduced the charge to increase the range.The Soviets expressed support for this idea and provided technical assistance in secret.

In this way, Iraq can have a short-range ballistic missile with a range of 600 kilometers.

Three bombs for two bombs, the number of Scud missiles required is huge.

The price of a Scud b has reached more than one million U.S. dollars, and one billion U.S. dollars can buy hundreds!

"That won't work!" It is a dilemma to buy missiles to threaten the cities inside Iran, or to buy tanks to defend against religious fanatics of the Iranian Revolution and Life Guards and counterattack Iran, occupying their southern oil fields and port cities. .

After all, the missile has a range of 600 kilometers. As long as the Iranian tanks are stationed, they can attack at a greater distance without much loss!And the more forward the attack, the greater the deterrence of the missile.

Liu Yijiu negotiated with Saudi Arabia and asked Saudi Arabia to help them purchase weapons. This is not enough, and the Saudi royal family is not a good person.

"Then there is no way. Mr. President, you can think about it first. Our schedule is very slow and there is not much time. Tomorrow, we will leave Iran and return to Saudi Arabia." Liu Yijiu did not say the next trip. Will go to Iran.

If Saddam gets upset, just kill him directly, that would be very bad.

Saddam had no choice but to give Liu Yijiu's ultimatum.

"In addition, Mr. President, if your country reduces the purchase quantity, this will increase our production costs, and there may be slight changes in the price..." When Liu Yijiu left, he turned his head to face the mood. Said Saddam.

After speaking, he walked away.

Barzan was driven away by Saddam, and naturally no one was responsible for Liu Yijiu's safety. Fortunately, someone from the Presidential Palace took Liu Yijiu back to the place where he lived.

"Asshole!" When Saddam saw Liu Yijiu's back, his mood became very bad, and clouds suddenly appeared on the originally gentle face."Young people in such a poor country can bully us!"

Karam sighed, "Your Excellency, although they are a poor country, they are a big country! Even though their advanced weapons and equipment are not as much as ours, they have the ability to develop and produce weapons on their own, and they have long-range delivery. Nuclear deterrence capabilities and so on. Now, it’s not that he wants to buy from us, but we need to buy from them.”

Saddam also sighed and sat down weakly.He knows very well that although Iraq has bought a lot of advanced weapons and equipment from the Soviet Union, in the face of a real big country, Iraq is simply not enough.

Even Israel can't match it.

A country with a nuclear deterrence capability is not a bit straighter than a country without a nuclear deterrence capability.

Iraq is also secretly engaged in nuclear research, but the progress is not too great.

They also want to be like Israel, the Americans support the mushroom bombing, but Arabs are not Jewish.

"What do we do now? Do you agree to purchase on their terms?" Saddam sighed again.

"If we don't buy their Dragon Guards, what should we do with the opponent's Dragon Guards on the battlefield? The Soviet Union or the United States will not sell the most advanced tanks to us. They will all reduce the technical configuration. They treat us as their weapons testing ground! If the Soviet Union or the United States can sell us tanks that are more powerful than the Dragon Guard tanks, we will not be like this!” Although the Soviet Union and the United States both sneered at the Dragon Guard tanks, Kanram, who has had a lot of contact with them, is indeed very aware of the tensions of the Americans and Soviets.

The Americans and Soviets sent many experts to Basra to analyze why their tanks were destroyed by Dragon Guards.

Moreover, the intelligence departments of both sides are fully pursuing the performance parameters of Longwei and the hidden technical secrets.In the end they got it, but they didn't say anything.

I just told the Iraqis that their tanks were not worse than Dragon Guards. The reason why Dragon Guards was stronger was because of the luck of the Iranians and the quality of their soldiers.

This made Saddam jump up with anger.

The last time I sent a delegation to China, I found that China didn’t have many weapons that they could see. Moreover, Longwei’s production capacity was too low. Orders had been queued for several years. In addition, China refused to provide Iraq with some technology for mushroom bombs. So in the end no contract was reached.

And this time, they didn't even mention it.

As a result, the relationship between the two parties is not very good, mainly because both parties did not give the other party what they wanted.

"Moreover, it is foreseeable that this time we are guilty with each other, Liu Yijiu is likely to help the Iranian government persuade China to export non-prohibited conventional weapons and equipment to Iran on a larger scale. Even prohibited weapons and equipment. The Missile Technology Agreement. ", China has not joined!"

Kanram's words changed Saddam's thinking.

The status of this young man in China is extraordinary, he knows it.

With the young man's disposition, he knows that this situation is very likely.At that time, Iran will be victorious on the battlefield, and they can only beg to buy from China the weapons and equipment that the other side has actively promoted to them.

In any case, behind them stood the two giants on earth, the United States and the Soviet Union!

"If we pay in full, will our funds be sufficient? Will it affect the Soviet Union's transactions?" Saddam was silent for a long time before asking Kanram.

"It will affect, but the problem is not big. President, I think we should strengthen our relationship with China. The level of China's military industry is not as bad as we thought! The Soviet Union is not as strong as we thought. Theirs The anti-aircraft missiles and the shooting down of our MiG-25 fighters are proof. The best things in China have always been hidden! Up to now, their military parade has nothing but two huge missiles..."

In 1981, China held an abnormal military parade that shocked the world.

At this military parade, the world discovered that the Chinese long-range intercontinental missiles are more powerful than they imagined. They have always believed that the Chinese do not have intercontinental missiles. As a result, China has never announced it!
