699 Desperate arms sale plan
"Are you crazy? This armored car had no plan to sell them in the first place! Xie Kai, you actually want to sell them the new generation of Qianwei 2 and the Dihongqi 2 with a range of 480 kilometers?" Hearing Xie Kai's plan, Wang Guilin was so angry that he slapped the table and stood up, pointing at Xie Kai and trembling.
What can Xie Kai do?
He was also desperate.
Once the Iran-Iraq war stops, neither the Silly Damu nor the Persians will purchase weapons and equipment on a large scale.
At present, the largest development funding of 404 comes from the Middle East.
In addition to buying China's second kicks, what are big dog owners willing to buy?
Even they bought China's second kicker because the United States and the Soviet Union were unwilling to sell it to them, after all, that thing would seriously threaten the interests of the United States and the Soviet Union.
Counting on them to buy Chinese tanks?
It's a dream.
"Yes, Xie Kai, if the tank is sold, it will be sold. The Red Flag Type 2 and the Avant-garde 2 are all prepared by us for the domestic troops. As soon as the USSR acquired it, it was possible to get an idea of the true level of our equipment...... It even uses this to push back the ...... of our entire national defense strength," Wang Guilin said solemnly.
Xie Kai's behavior is dangerous.
For the entire national defense, it is extremely disadvantageous.
"Uncle Wang, I know what you mean. However, at present, once we miss this opportunity, as soon as the Iran-Iraq war stops, no matter how good the performance of the weapons and equipment we develop, no matter how cheap the price is, and it is not famous in actual combat, it will be difficult to have more customers in the end...... "How does Xie Kai not understand?
Now the Iraqis have no money!
No wonder they talked so much nonsense when they procured armor-piercing shells and anti-tank missiles before.
Two years ago, when Iraqis saw good things, they didn't even know much about them, and they didn't have much trouble with the price.
"On what basis do you conclude that the Iran-Iraq war is coming to an end?" Wang Guilin asked angrily, "This is not a reason to sell advanced equipment." Even if it really ends, those oil powers that benefit from it, will not agree. ”
The Iran-Iraq war broke out, and international oil prices continued to soar.
Even if Silly Damu doesn't want to fight, other countries that have benefited from it can't let them stop.
The Iran-Iraq war has been going on for six years now, and neither side has made much progress, but there is no trace of its end, and this is the reason.
"The Iraqis are out of money. Xie Kai's words made both of them stunned, "In 84, Silly Damu didn't want to fight ......"
Xie Kai's analysis is reasonable.
After the two listened, they made eye contact, and Zheng Yucheng said, "In this way, let Lao Bai and them have a meeting to discuss it, this matter has a big impact." ”
In the event of such a major problem, it must be unanimously approved by the members of the Management Committee.
Xie Kai wanted to sell too many things, and almost the entire 404 family was taken out and sold, completely to the level of madness......
"Under the current circumstances, we still have tens of billions of funds on hand, no new sources, and more than one billion a year in interest alone. Selling all the advanced equipment is not good for national defense. Xie Jianguo was the first to stand up against it.
This son of his own, he is not afraid of poking a hole in the sky, and he has never thought about the seriousness of the matter.
"The same cannot be said. We need too much money. During this time, I have been learning about the situation of various shipyards along the coast......" Qi Zhiyuan just came back and held a meeting, which was also in line with his wishes, "In terms of naval equipment, we should be ready to intervene." In the current situation, I have contacted a group of technicians from the military-to-civilian shipyard......"
"......" Xie Kai is about to vomit blood.
Qi Zhiyuan really went to do things about ships.
"Uncle Qi, Liao Zhuolin is not a core member of the base, you can do this thing, let him participate, it's not appropriate, right?" Xie Kai had to mention, although it affected the discipline of the meeting at this time.
"He didn't know our purpose, I just told him that we were going to invest in the shipbuilding industry and develop ocean ......logistics," Qi Zhiyuan blushed, "Who told him to know the situation over there." ”
"Didn't he turn out to be in charge of large aircraft manufacturing?"
"Industry!" Qi Zhiyuan emphasized.
"Alright, don't change the subject, get down to business. Everybody has a point of view. Zheng Yucheng saw that the two of them were talking about things that had nothing to do with the meeting, and looked at the two with a frown.
Qi Zhiyuan is selfish, and has always wanted 404 to tilt its funds towards shipbuilding.
"Anyway, I don't think any amount of money will be enough for our plan. Up to now, the army's most advanced tanks have appeared in our units, fighter planes are also steadily advancing, and the rest is the navy......" Qi Zhiyuan looked at everyone, his tone full of resentment. "Our country needs large surface warships! Even if we don't build them in a short time, we can't ......stop the pre-research and preparatory work."
"Don't even think about it! An aircraft carrier is worth tens or tens of billions at every turn, and there are supporting carrier-based aircraft and escort fleets, and if there are not tens of billions or even hundreds of billions, it will not be able to do it at all!" Wang Guilin once again vetoed.
Xie Kai's eyes widened, Qi Zhiyuan's mind to build an aircraft carrier has not disappeared.
"We only pre-research!" Qi Zhiyuan explained.
"Let's not talk about it, but let's talk about the sale of weapons and equipment to the Iraqis. Zheng Yucheng didn't want to talk about this either.
The country's economy can't support it, what can they do?
At present, the aircraft project has made them a little overwhelmed, and if there is no national sharing in the fields of supporting and basic materials, the 404 fund will not be able to support it for long.
"The more money, the better. Many of our projects, with the progress, are now in greater demand for funding. Just the improvement and research work of Yun Shi, up to now, the annual expenditure is hundreds of millions, and it has not produced any benefits!" Yang Qian likes the small treasury in charge of her own account and refuses to consume it.
Those who are in charge of the money bag know how terrible the cost of 404 is.
In the initial design and research stage, the funds consumed are not much, and once the prototype trial production is entered, the money is like running water......
"What do you think?" Wang Guilin looked at Bai Yanjun.
"It will take a lot of ......money to increase the range of the Hongqi 2 and even develop a new generation of ground-to-ground tactical missiles," Bai Yanjun did not answer directly, but expressed his attitude. "The troops are not currently interested in our surface-to-surface missiles of this range. ”
More money is needed.
Where does the money come from?
Sell missiles!
R&D funds are recovered and used for the development of new models.
"It's not that the troops don't show interest, it's that they don't have money. "Xie Kai is very helpless, the army is poor, and slightly more advanced weapons have to consider the cost-effectiveness ratio.
"At present, the export of weapons and equipment is our only source of funding, and I think that as long as the higher authorities do not oppose it, we can give it a try. Besides, even if we want to sell, the Iraqis don't necessarily want to buy it, right?" Yang Qian also supported selling more weapons to the Iraqis.
"You see, no one objected. Zheng Yucheng looked at Wang Guilin with a smile, spread his hands and said.
"Have you ever thought about the harm to national defense?" Wang Guilin asked the supporters.
Several core members of the management committee, only Xie Jianguo is opposed.
Xie Jianguo's opposition was not due to the fact that the sale of advanced new equipment would affect national defense, but only because Xie Kai proposed it.
"General, what more advanced missiles will Chinese sell us?" a colonel asked Ibrahim, "all along, the best they have used, even if they are lagging behind internationally, will not sell ......"
Ibrahim was also a little worried.
Xie Kai said that he would provide them with a batch of advanced weapons and equipment to choose from and increase the strength of their armed forces.
No one knows the bottom of their hearts.
"Don't worry, other units won't, they will. Think about the 359 tanks we are currently equipped with, and the ground-red flag missiles with a range of 220 kilometers...... "Ibrahim has full confidence in Xie Kai.
"But for now, we have a ...... funding problem," Ibrahim was reminded worriedly.
"The president has said that the Tikrit division will be made more capable of fighting at any cost. Ibrahim reminded his men.
The Tikrit Division is the president's most trusted unit.
If it were other troops, it was impossible.
For the president's most trusted descendants, all the equipment must be the best they can get.
The meeting of the 404 management committee lasted from noon to evening, but Wang Guilin alone disagreed, and no one else could convince Wang Guilin.
Development is important, but you can't take out all your money.
"After this village, there is really no more of this shop. The electromagnetic bomb we first developed, the higher-level competent department gave us 2 million funds, and we posted tens of millions of dollars ourselves, and now the troops have no interest in equipping it......" Xie Kai saw that he was in a stalemate, so he had to change his strategy, "sell a batch to them, and use it for combat experiments......
"We sell advanced weapons and equipment to them, aren't they all for the data obtained in actual combat?" Zheng Yucheng glanced at Xie Kai.
Hundreds of 359 tanks were also sold for this reason.
There are policies above, and there are countermeasures below.
Everyone's tacit thing.
"Uncle Wang, I know you're worried. If we have a choice, we won't be able to ask for money. At present, although the country's economy has developed, more ...... needs to be invested in infrastructure construction."
The army is still in a period of patience, and the country has just passed the 863 plan, and it will take a long time to accumulate a little bit of money.
"The 359 tank will be sold as soon as it is sold, and I wish the boss that they are engaged in a more advanced heavy tank; the avant-garde was sold because there was a new plan, and now the new generation has come out and sold it again! The Red Flag, a new modification, has a range of 480 kilometers......
Wang Guilin's words were full of resentment.
Good stuff, all sold.
There is no equipment in the country!
"The new ground red flag, the accuracy is not good...... Xie Kai reminded, "The range of 480 kilometers, the error has reached 200 meters, without mushroom bombs and biochemical warheads, how much effect can it have......?"
"How do you explain it to your superiors?" Wang Guilin knew that they were determined to sell, and it was useless to object.
In desperation, he could only carry out his superiors.
I hope that crazy people like Xie Kai and Zheng Yucheng can be more restrained.
"In principle, the state does not oppose the sale of such a second kicker as the Dongfeng-3!" Xie Kai simply dropped a bombshell.
