After occupying an equal negotiating position, the two sides discussed the details of the negotiations, including the supply of weapons, the transfer of technology, and so on.

The delegation headed by Ivanovich was really sharp-tongued, and the negotiations reached a stalemate several times, for example, on major technology transfers, Russia maintained a very cautious attitude, and Canglong asked Russia to provide them with an aircraft production chain, and Russia agreed to produce planes in Basra.

Originally, Canglong wanted to get the technology of the whole aircraft to promote the development of Basra's military industry, after all, now they have nothing technical at all except money, and blindly rely on buying, which will not work.

For example, Israel, which stands in the Middle East, has been constantly innovating independently since the founding of the country, and it is not a single money to buy armaments, which will only be subject to the purchasing country, in case of hostility one day, the update of all parts and the upgrading of the system, which all require the country of origin to provide technology.

"If Russia does not give us the export of technology, but only the export of weapons, it will be difficult for Basra to maintain a certain military advantage, and even be detrimental to our future strategy, after all, Russia is still such a long distance from Iraq, whether it is by sea or by road, there will be unnecessary risks. Vivien said directly.

Vivien showed her talent as a diplomat when confronted by the Russians, but the Russians were not vegetarians either, and as soon as she finished speaking, one of the staff officers said: "If Russia exports technology to Basra, how will Russia maintain its technological superiority in the future? And how do you ensure that this technology does not leak out?"

"Since it is a military alliance, then we have certain norms and treaties, and it is not beneficial for both sides to leak technology, and our military in Basra will not do such a thing that harms others and is not beneficial to itself. Vivien retorted, "There is a good saying in China, a military alliance is a grasshopper on a rope, which damages your interests and our interests at the same time, not to mention that we do not need Russia's most advanced weapons technology, just some conventional weapons technology." ”

In fact, the technology export that Basra needs is not the technology of Russia's most advanced weapons, such as airplanes, and what Basra wants is only the technology of third-generation fighters, and tanks, and Basra only wants the technology of conventional main battle tanks in service, and does not involve Russia's most advanced tank technology.

However, the Russian side is still worried that these technologies will flow out, which is the advantage of Russia's arms exports, but the reason for the deadlock in the negotiations is that while Canglong insists on buying weapons, it also needs Russia to export technology, that is to say, Russia sells the same weapons to Basra, and it also needs to export the corresponding technology to Basra.

Although this is an unreasonable request, if it is for a military alliance, it is not unreasonable, this is the same as a man and a woman falling in love, since I am already your boyfriend, you will not keep a distance from me like ordinary friends, right?

Moreover, when the United States exports weapons to its allies, it also comes with technology, but the Americans do not export the best weapons, so they have always maintained the advantage of the most advanced weapons technology, for example, in terms of fighter jets, the United States sells all kinds of third-generation fighters, and also exports various technologies, but insists on not selling the technology and original aircraft of the F22 Raptor fighter.

So Canglong's request is actually not too much, you are all ally with me, and you are still hiding, you just don't want to really ally with me.

Of course, Russia also has its own reasons for hiding it, after all, Canglong has a close relationship with China, once Russia exports technology to Basra, China will definitely have it, this is what the Russians are worried about, although it is a strategic partnership with China, but after all, it is not a military alliance, what if one day it turns around?

The negotiations were deadlocked, and in the end Ivanovich came up with a solution: "Since you ask us to export technology, shouldn't you also provide us with your most advanced technology?"

Hearing this, the Basra side looked at the Russian deputy defense minister strangely, with a strange expression, what technology do we have that is worth watching?

When Vivian and Su Su heard something, they looked at Canglong, who had to face another problem, he knew that the Russians wanted the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier technology in his hands.

A year ago, the Black Sea Shipyard and Russia signed an agreement on a conventionally powered aircraft carrier, and now this aircraft carrier has taken shape thanks to the efforts of Ukrainian workers and will be launched in a short time, and with the experience of the Russian Navy, this aircraft carrier will soon be in combat power, and it is the most advanced conventionally powered aircraft carrier.

All countries are paying attention to this aircraft carrier at the Black Sea Shipyard, but because it was commissioned by Russia, most countries think that this aircraft carrier is actually technical support provided by Russia.

But this is not the case, the Russians themselves know best, because they have been to the Black Sea shipyard and have also obtained information about this aircraft carrier, and to their surprise, this aircraft carrier was independently developed and manufactured, surpassing the technology of any hull built by the Russian Navy.

If it weren't for the fact that Canglong was the technology provider behind the Black Sea Shipyard, I am afraid that the Russian Navy would still think that the Americans were helping them build an aircraft carrier, because this aircraft carrier is very similar to the conventional power aircraft carriers of the United States no matter where you look at it, and the technology is absolutely first-class.

From the engine, to the weapon system, to the blocking lock, these things are much more advanced than the Russian aircraft carrier in service, with a full load displacement of 80,000 tons, and only the United States aircraft carrier in the world has a displacement of 80,000 tons.

Although Canglong once promised to consider giving them nuclear-powered aircraft carrier technology, this was the only real thing he had on hand, and he still exchanged his life for it, and he almost hung up in the United States.

From a strategic point of view, if these technologies are given to Russia, then China will fall behind, and in my heart, Canglong does not want China to lag behind Russia in aircraft carrier technology, but even if it is given to China, I am afraid that China will not immediately build a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, everything has to be taken step by step, and it will come out at once, although it seems to be a surprise, but Canglong feels a little frightened.

At that time, China will certainly not be able to afford an arms race, and from a selfish point of view, he can still compete with the higher authorities with these technologies, although sooner or later he will give them to China.

After a few minutes of silence, everyone looked at him, but he thought about it with a blank face, and after a few minutes, he finally thought about it: "The technology can be transferred to you, but you must agree to the above conditions at the same time, and promise me another condition." ”

Ivanovich nodded: "As long as the conditions are not too excessive, we will definitely consider it." ”

"After the reunification of Iraq, I will transfer the aircraft carrier technology to you, and at the same time, you must ensure that the aircraft carrier Peter the Great will be stationed in the port of Basra and cooperate in the defense of Basra's territorial waters. Canglong smiled, "And help Basra train the navy." ”

Vivien was shocked, and Badr was shocked, Nima's was just a condition, and he despised three conditions in one sentence.

Nikolav didn't say anything, he was familiar with Canglong, he knew that Canglong was like this, and surprisingly Ivanovich didn't have too many expressions, but was considering, obviously these conditions were within the affordable range, before that, the Russian military had plans to lease a port in Basra.

Although this is not the best port, as long as it is built, it will definitely become a good military port, and the only thing worth their consideration is whether it is appropriate to put the newly built aircraft carrier Peter the Great in Basra Port? You must know that the Americans also have an aircraft carrier here for strategic cruise.

But at the beginning of the negotiations, they were already ready to confront the US military, and the Russian military seemed to be happy to see them play against the Americans again, in their opinion, this represents the strength of Russia's ** affairs.

But out of political considerations, they are not very willing to offend the Russians to death, especially the other one of Canglong, they must wait for the Prophet Army to unify Iraq before they are willing to transfer nuclear-powered aircraft carrier technology to them, what if Iraq is not unified for ten years?

That's the problem, Ivanovich certainly won't let Canglong write a blank check for himself, and he's not a neo-Nazi Elwin.

"I hope that on that premise, there will be an acceptable amount of time so that we can go back and talk to the president. Ivanovich did not agree, but he did not veto, in fact, as the deputy minister of defense, he did not have the right to sign some real national strategic agreements.

This meeting is just to discuss their respective conditions, and bring them back as a final comparison, just like a speech, always have to make a draft first, and after the draft is ready, they have to go back to discuss it, and finally eliminate some, add some, or revise some before it is completed.

The same is true for military negotiations, if you say that it will be negotiated, then unless it is completely acceptable, for example, between real military alliances, there is no need to be so troublesome in negotiations, because most of the agreements have already been signed.

"Five years, five years later, regardless of whether the Prophet Army unites Iraq or not, the technology will be transferred to you as usual. Canglong said calmly.

Ivanovich nodded, five years is an acceptable range, after all, this technology is very mature and does not need to be studied, just like the aircraft carrier built by the Black Sea Shipyard that was named Peter the Great by Russia, as long as the materials are in place, it is no different from assembly.

And the manufacturing of materials is also ready-made technology, not as good as China's aircraft carriers, because there is no technology, you can only explore it yourself, or buy it from other countries, and then study, and some technologies can be studied, and some technologies give you more time, it is difficult to study them, such as the engine, which is now China's biggest shortcoming.

The main project has been negotiated, and the remaining minor ones are much simpler, so this negotiation is finally over in twists and turns, and then we have to wait for the Russian president to make a decision.
