() Canglong finally decided to take out his last private money for the last big purchase

The contents of the purchase include 100 barreled artillery, 50 anti-tank artillery pieces, and 50 cannon howitzers, forming a 5,000-strong heavy artillery brigade

As the saying goes, the best way to test the troops in a good war is to judge the best way to test the troops, and judging from the current battle with the Baath Party, there are really problems with their establishment; although the special operations brigade and the field division have cooperated quite well this time, there are big problems in command, for example, the task of the special operations brigade was to behead the enemy commander and then create chaos behind enemy lines and guide the field division to burn the oil fields

However, the first two tasks of the special operations brigade were completed very well, and the third mission was not carried out at all, because even they could not find the specific position and action route of the field division, and this was a melee, but the snow leopard still brought the strength of the special operations brigade to the limit, and created good conditions for the field division behind enemy lines

But if it can be unified, this war will definitely be fought more beautifully, of course, this is also because there is no supreme commander, there is no way, Canglong was sitting in the enemy's high command at that time, and it is also a necessary condition for this war to be able to exploit loopholes and play scoundrels

Therefore, it is imperative to form an artillery brigade, which can not only defend and counterattack, but also cover the army offensive when the time is ripe

If the field division had armored personnel carriers and tanks on the battlefield this time, the mobility would be stronger, after all, the Prophet Army did not have the long-range delivery capability of the US army, but at the airport, there were two Hercules transport planes of the US army, which were called the best heavy transport planes in the world, and they were also given by Jordan when the new Iraqi army was established

But after Canglong took over everything in Basra, he didn't use these two planes, but sealed them, this is a treasure, it is impossible to use it until it is absolutely necessary, and if it is shot down, it will be a big loss

Because there was really no money, Canglong was ready to purchase twenty T80 main battle tanks and let the Russians repair the twenty that were disabled by them in the Valley of the Evil Wolf to form the Prophet Army, and then the twenty disabled tanks were secretly sealed by Canglong, in order to form an armored brigade in the future

With the purchase of armored personnel carriers, this heavy armored brigade is formed, of course, it is still empty talk, Canglong wants so many weapons to build his own mechanized troops, but Russia has to agree to sell it to him

Seeing this list, the happiest thing is still black impermanence, after all, whether it is an artillery brigade or an armored brigade, it will be included in his field division, remembering the battle he fought a few years ago, Nima's leg was about to run, and he had never experienced the three-day rapid march of the field division, and he absolutely did not know the pain

Almost half of the casualties counted were exhausted to death, although the quality of the field division was tested, but the darkness was impermanent, in fact, he was very distressed in his heart, because many soldiers were personally sent out by him

Another list is the aircraft procurement contract, the two J-7Ms of the Air Force played an important role in this war, from air deterrence to on-the-spot bombing, and finally to provide coordinate positioning for field divisions, it can be said that Bai Wuchang and Aziz, the two only pilots, have used all their strength to eat nǎi

Canglong, who has tasted the sweetness, of course, wants to form an air force, purchase 12 MiG-29 and Su-30 each, form an air force squadron, and form a high and low match

This procurement case is a dream for Bai Wuchang, he is a Russian, and he has a soft spot for this type of aircraft, as long as it is purchased, the Basra Air Force will definitely exert unimaginable combat effectiveness, and most of the former Iraqi Air Force is no stranger to Russian aircraft, and it is easy and easiest to train to exert combat effectiveness

As for pilots, as long as they have planes, Bai Wuchang doesn't believe that he can't train good pilots, not to mention that there is Aziz, an Iraqi pilot, who dug into the corner of the wall and poached from the air force of the Iraqi security forces, but in fact, the reason why Bai Wuchang is most happy is that he is here, and he doesn't need to be a bare-bones commander

The third procurement case is for the special operations brigade, which is all special forces equipment, including parachute equipment

What is unthinkable is that Xiami's missile force has not been expanded, and Xiami has not been disappointed at this point, after all, his missile unit is the first to develop and the most mature, and the money invested is also the most, but it is only suitable for air defense, and he can see from Canglong's procurement case alone that Canglong is preparing to build the Prophet Army into an offensive force this time

But the premise of all this is that the Russians must be willing to sell to him, if they don't sell to him, they will have money and empty talk, but Canglong not only doesn't have much money now, but he doesn't know if the Russians are willing to sell it, this is what they are worried about

"I bought the things for you, as for whether anyone will use them, it's up to you, at such a big cost, I hope the Prophet Army can exert its combat effectiveness in a short period of time, understand" Canglong finally gave them a difficult task

There was no objection this time, and as for Badr's request to equip the coast with ships, Canglong was really powerless, and he had no intention of building a navy at all

"Don't worry, as long as you give us something, we can find the best user," Bai Wuchang spoke first, compared to his air force, the largest expansion, and the money spent will be the most

"First of all, you will have to spend at least 10 billion US dollars on this arms purchase case, let's not talk about whether the Russians are willing to sell it to us, even if you sell it to us, you will have to pay blood, you don't plan to keep some money," Su Su said suddenly

In fact, this is also their concern, since coming to Basra, Canglong has been spending money, but Canglong's money is not endless

"Don't worry about the Russians, they will sell it to us, as for the money," Canglong's face was very bad, "After buying these things, you don't come to me, and there is nothing you can do to find me"

Saying such things, everyone knows that Canglong has no money, and in the end, the family is smashed here, everyone's faces are heavy, and the more they get, the heavier the responsibility, they don't talk nonsense, and they are busy with their own work, and in the end, only Su Su stayed, in fact, what he said just now also has a meaning, you have spent all the money, how can I still get intelligence

He stayed and waited for Canglong to answer his question, and Canglong did not disappoint him, saying, "I didn't intend to pay the Russians in full at all."

"What do you mean" Su Su didn't understand

"I'm looking for the Russian consul, I'm going to talk to their military envoy, and you'll understand when the time comes," Canglong said with a smile

Su Su didn't ask, but went to contact the Russian consul, and a few days later, not only the Russian military envoy arrived, but even the Chinese envoy also arrived

Several people sat down, but they had their own plans, and the Chinese envoy was Wan Zeliang, and Canglong was not surprised, because Li Ruomo had already told him, and the Russian envoy was naturally Colonel Nikolav, and after a few polite words, Canglong directly told him about his procurement case

At that time, Nikolav's face was very bad, and the last time Canglong asked to buy the missile production chain, the matter had not been discussed, and now such a large order came, Nikolav really couldn't afford it

If China or India came to buy such a large order, they would naturally be very happy, but the Basra arms contract also involved diplomacy, and Basra was a sensitive area, which touched the nerves of the Americans, and it would not be possible for Russia to play tricks if it wanted to sell so many weapons to the Prophet Army at once

Nikolav was silent for a while and said with a smile: "Let's talk about the missile production chain first, I think this is the most important thing for Basra"

"What do you mean," Canglong's face sank, "Russia doesn't dare to sell it to me, or it doesn't want to sell it to me"

Facing Canglong's sarcastic tone, Wan Zeliang was very surprised, and said that in the face of the Russians, you are still so arrogant, I am afraid that you have the money to buy it, and others will not sell it

But something that surprised him even more happened, Nikolov was actually submissive in front of Canglong, for fear that Canglong would be angry, and said in a gentle tone: "No, I don't mean this, there is always an order, are you right?"

"That's pretty much it," Canglong said with a smile, "what do you mean by the military?"

"We are willing to sell you the missile production chain and provide you with all-round technical guidance, but should you also fulfill your promises," Nikolav asked with a smile

"Of course, I said that if I give you one of the ports, I will give it to you, you can come whenever you want," Canglong said with a smile, in fact, he was so anxious that you would finally pull the Black Sea Fleet over now, I was too late to be happy, so that I could save a lot of money and find a free thug

Nikolav thought that Canglong would make some excessive requests, but he didn't expect it to be so easy to agree, and said with a smile: "Since it is so pleasant, the cooperation is pleasant."

"Wait," Canglong said suddenly, "We've finished talking about the missile production chain, and now it's time to talk about the arms purchase case I just had."

"This," Nikolav was embarrassed, "I can't call the shots, after all, this is a sensitive area, and it involves diplomatic issues, and the Americans are staring at us, and last time our arms carrier was detained."

"Oh," Canglong groaned, and suddenly said, "You have to understand that I am not begging you, you are unwilling to sell to me, it is your loss, I have many channels to buy better, not to mention, since we have cooperated to this point, why don't you just tear your face with the Americans to prove your sincerity."

The atmosphere at the negotiation table was a little cold, Nikolov's face seemed to be hesitating about something, in fact, the instructions given to him by the military this time were very simple, to agree to Canglong's request as much as possible, but it was absolutely impossible to expose Russia easily

"Let's think about it, okay," Nikolav said with a smile

"You go back and think about it slowly, but I don't guarantee that after you come back, I will buy even a gun weapon from you," Canglong sneered, "No, just cancel the previous contract, I don't need the missile production chain, I got it myself from the black market, as for planes, tanks, these things, European arms dealers are eager to sell me, as long as my price is high enough, I believe they will also be interested in the strategic location here"

In the end, Nikolav's face became worse and worse, but he did not refute it, let alone ignorantly accuse Canglong of tearing up the contract, because in this way the arms deal contract is a waste of paper
