701 totals 2,636.5 million, still in dollars
"General, do you think that how much oil our country needs at present? Foreign exchange, that will be more useful to us! If we really exchange equipment for oil, it is estimated that our superiors will stop cooperation...... Xie Kai immediately objected.
Joke.
How can such a huge amount of arms trade be carried out with all the oil to pay off the debt?
The country is still exporting crude oil for foreign exchange.
"Do you have to buy electromagnetic bombs?" said Ibrahim. "Xie, you should know that we purchase weapons from France, the Soviet Union and other countries, and we never pay half of them in advance, and the rest of the delivery will be paid immediately......"
"General, that's why we're willing to cut prices after the cost has dropped. Xie Kai said it soundingly.
Isn't the price cut just to sell more?
Take more money out of a stupid big wooden pocket.
Anyway, in a few years, the US imperialists will destroy Iraq, and then the stupid big wood will not be able to spend the money.
"What do you mean, then?" Ibrahim asked tentatively, "you can't spread money on us for weapons research and development that we don't need." Thanks, this is not in line with market principles......"
"General, I think this kind of bomb is the most suitable for you. General, think about it, if in 81 when the Jews attacked the Osrak reactor, you had such a bomb and shot it directly on the missile...... "Xie Kai completely tried his best to sell electromagnetic bombs to the other party.
"Aren't you bombs?"
"Can it be used as a warhead, can it be mounted on a missile?" Xie Kai was a little embarrassed, "It can even be directly changed to an anti-aircraft shell, although the power is smaller, the number is large...... Those fighter planes passed by this area, and the electronic systems inside were burned down, and they simply shut down and fell......"
"......" Ibrahim was speechless.
He knew that it would be difficult not to buy this thing, other weapons.
"Thanks, two hundred at most, no more. You know, useless things, buy them back, and I'll be scolded......" Ibrahim said helplessly.
200 pieces, that's 6 million dollars.
This money is not a big problem, and when the time comes, it can be said that it will be a condition for the price reduction of other equipment.
"Okay. General, when you think it's easy to use in the future, you'll find that the number is too small. Xie Kai saw that the other party was slamming the door to death, and he didn't bother to continue to sell, "How much more do you plan to purchase for the equipment we are willing to provide on the list?"
"359 tanks, how much capacity do you have now?" Ibrahim asked.
When Xie Kai heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.
That's what makes a lot of money.
"The current production is still not too high, but it can reach about 30 cars a month. Xie Kai said it very conservatively.
"Really sell the high-end 359 tank for $2.8 million, and you won't secretly reduce the configuration, right?" Ibrahim still didn't believe that the 404 would be so kind.
The Soviets had three versions of any weapon, the best of which they used for themselves, the worse ones were provided to their republics and allies, and the worst, the monkey version known to the world, was exported to other buyers.
The Iraqis were originally big buyers of Soviet-style weapons, from T54 to T72, and even BMP infantry fighting vehicles, all of which were expensive and rudimentary.
Otherwise, they would not have directly placed an order for 500 Chinese 359 tanks when they had not yet been completely finalized.
On the one hand, in order to supplement the consumption of the war, on the other hand, the performance of these tanks provided by China is even better than that of the Soviet T72, and the Soviets simplified the exported T72 to an outrageous degree, not only the barrel life is short, but even the fire control system on it is so simple that it can no longer be more rudimentary.
"General, do you think we're joking?" Xie Kai said seriously.
"Here's a list, you can help me look at it first......" Ibrahim also pulled a list out of his pocket.
Xie Kai looked at the number of weapons on the list and his eyes widened, "General, are you preparing to fight the Third World War?"
"This amount is just to make up for the consumption of our years of war. After all, we were once the third military power in the world!"
Hearing that he was third in the world, Xie Kai grinned at the corners of his mouth, and he wanted to tell Ibrahim that the country, known as the third in the world in terms of military strength, had a bad fate.
In the sixties of the twentieth century, China's next-door neighbor, the third brother, was ambitiously known as the third in the world, which made the third brother swell so much that he even invaded China.
Then, Vietnam, which is also China's neighbor, Le Duan, with the support of the Soviet Union, also began to swell and invade the borders of China, as a result, in a few days, the People's Liberation Army, which could not stand it, almost hit their capital, and until now, the war has not ended. This is not because the opponent is too strong, but the People's Liberation Army, which has not been at war for decades, needs an opponent who can be sparring in real combat. Didn't you see, the troops of the major military regions are all taking turns to pull to the front line?
The rest is Iraq.
The last fate......
"Add 300 359 tanks, 120 122-mm self-propelled howitzers, 700 Type 86 wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, 500 anti-aircraft missiles of the Hongqi-2 type......"
Actually, it's not much.
Xie Kai really wanted to take out a small notebook and calculate how much it would cost to sell this time.
It's all small money, and you can't get excited.
In front of Ibrahim, it was a bit excessive.
"How about it? No problem, right? Can these equipment be delivered within two years? Especially armored vehicles, which you haven't mass-produced until now. Ibrahim saw that Xie Kai's eyes were shining with gold when he saw their purchase list, and he despised the bun with some contempt.
It's not that I haven't seen such a large order, haven't I cooperated many times before?
"Conditionals again?"
Sure enough, it's the present newspaper.
They just forced the Iraqis to buy electromagnetic bombs, and now they are coming to such a place, and they are putting pressure on the Chinese side on the delivery date.
700 wheeled armored personnel carriers.
"If the delivery time cannot be met, we may seek cooperation with other suppliers. Ibrahim looked serious.
Xie Kai was about to ask if he was taking revenge on himself for forcing them to purchase electromagnetic bombs, and seeing the serious expression on the other party's face, could it be that something happened on the Iraqi side?
I asked, but I didn't get any answer.
"Xie, I won't bargain for $700,000 each, but these armored vehicles must be equipped with 122mm howitzers and 120mm dual-purpose mortar......s according to the proportions," Ibrahim told Xie Kai, neither the delivery date nor the weapons they asked for, there was no negotiation.
The reaction of the Iraqis this time was too unusual.
After Xie Kai communicated with him, he didn't even have time to calculate how much money was on the list, and directly took the list to Zheng Yucheng and Wang Guilin.
When he arrived at the office, there was an argument inside, and Xie Kai heard it from afar.
"Lao Qi, this thing is absolutely not good! We can't afford to play with this thing of aircraft carriers! That cost can't be supported at all!" Wang Guilin's voice was full of anger.
"Make your own money, anyway, don't ask me for money, I'll support it. Yang Qian didn't ask me for money, and she said anything.
"Are you arguing about the aircraft carrier again?" Xie Kai was at the door, and the person guarding the door, he didn't know, Zheng Yucheng, the old guy, had changed his secretary.
But the young glasses didn't stop Xie Kai.
made Xie Kai couldn't help but look at him twice, this young man is good and promising.
"Xie Kai, you came just in time. The Navy has an aircraft carrier program, and it has been carrying out pre-research work, and now the funds are insufficient...... "Zheng Yucheng is obviously also in favor of building an aircraft carrier."
"Don't listen to them, it's a bottomless pit......"
"Uh......" Xie Kai didn't know how to say, didn't he say it at first, wait until the Soviet aircraft carrier was dragged back?
Is there an aircraft carrier program in the country?
Didn't you get off the horse a few years ago, that thing was too expensive.
"Isn't your biggest plan on the Soviet side, just to build an aircraft carrier? We can take over the aircraft carriers on the navy's side that can't progress because of the funds, study them first, accumulate experience, and after we come back, we can start copying ......them," Qi Zhiyuan said eagerly to Xie Kai.
Xie Kai looked at him with mixed tastes.
They may not know that it will not be easy to get the aircraft carrier back when the Soviet Union collapses.
The only thing that can be brought back is the Varyag, which has not been completed.
The nuclear-powered Ulyanovsk, even if it is much more advanced than the Varyag, cannot be brought back, and if it is brought back, Europe and the United States will definitely blow up the hair, and the heir of the Soviet Union will not be reconciled.
"Guys, let's get the Iraqi order done first, here is the list of Iraqis. Xie Kai didn't want to argue about the aircraft carrier project, so he would get Ibrahim done first.
"How much is such a long list?"
Several of them are not very good at arithmetic.
In the end, the list was passed to Yang Qian, whose eyes were shining.
What Xie Kai didn't expect was that Yang Qian actually opened the bag she was carrying, took out a palm-sized black abacus from it, and began to calculate it, counting it to everyone while calculating.
As a result, the atmosphere in the office ended, and the sound of the quarrel turned into a crackling sound of the impact of the abacus and a little trembling sound of Yang Qian.
"300 vehicles with a high configuration of 359, a unit price of 2.8 million, a total of 840 million ......"
"120 122mm howitzers at a unit price of 3.8 million, totaling 456 million ......"
"700 wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, with a unit price of 700,000, a total of 490 million ......"
"300 ground-to-ground Hongqi-2 missiles, with a unit price of 1.45 million, totaling 435 million ......"
"400 avant-garde-2 anti-aircraft missiles, with a unit price of 88,000, totaling 35.2 million ......"
"600 anti-tank missiles, unit price 180,000, a total of 108 million ......"
"A number of electromagnetic bombs, cluster bombs, and armor-piercing bombs, totaling 163 million ......"
“......”
"You just say the total, the total!" Zheng Yucheng couldn't wait, this was too impatient.
The same is true for others, silently calculating in their hearts, but those who are not sensitive to data have not yet been calculated in front, and Yang Qian is reporting the back, and it is the quantity, the unit price, and the total price.
"A total of 2,636.5 million, or dollars!" Yang Qian's breathing was a little short.
