"Then you don't have to get two Y-10s, that's $60 million, although it's cheap......" Kovarrubi knew that it would not be so easy to get the five billion dollars in Mobutu's hands.

If the weapons and equipment are not advanced and the combat effectiveness is not strong, that is absolutely not possible.

Does a civil airliner like the Y-10 have a penny to do with combat effectiveness?

"That's not, it's just that through the order, I sent the mercenary group, belonging to the mercenary group, usually as a special plane for you and President Mwini...... "Xie Kai can't explain, I did it for the development prospects of the Y-10, so that everyone can have confidence in the Y-10."

The money was paid for by himself, and the plane had to be bought with money.

"There's no need for that. Kovarubi was a little embarrassed, "Xie, didn't China just develop the Super 7A, how could it sell the Super 7B outside?"

"Twin-shot, with a larger combat radius, a larger bomb load, and better performance. Xie Kai said calmly.

The Super -7B is not a domestic self-use model.

Moreover, after signing the order, it is impossible to deliver it in the short term, but the funds will be injected into the Super 7B project through the Tanzanian Ministry of Defense first, and even if it is not exported, there is no need to repay the money.

"The whole transaction does not require your country to bear a single penny. At the same time, there is no need to burden the mercenary group, I will provide it first, and then the mercenary group will slowly repay it when it has money......" Xie Kai simply made his words clear.

He has made so much money out there that he has to transfer it into the 404 project through other means.

The effect of this money is far greater than what appears to be the amount.

Kovarubi was surprised, how stupid is Xie Kai's behavior?

Others are eager to put all the country's money into their own pockets, but Xie Kai is good, and the money in his pocket is silently given to the country like this, and he doesn't even have a certificate of consolation.

did a good deed without leaving a name, he thought he was the reincarnation of **?

"Xie, although I don't understand your behavior, I still admire your loyalty and dedication to the country. Kovarrubi sighed, "But now there is a problem, when we agreed, the mercenary group was not equipped with heavy weapons and equipment. ”

The River Crab Mercenary Regiment is equipped with heavy equipment, as long as they are not allowed to pay for it, it is naturally not a problem.

Anyway, it will not affect their interests, and the more advanced the weapons and equipment, the greater the benefits.

However, Xie Kai did this, which made the Tanzanian government a little passive.

It was previously agreed that the land leased by Tanzania would be used as a base for the river crab mercenary group, and the mercenary group was not allowed to have heavy equipment such as tanks and warplanes.

Xie Kai even thought of using the back of the pickup truck to install various heavy weapon systems as fire support for the mercenary group in the ground war.

In the past two years, with the use of second-hand fighters and second-hand tanks and armored vehicles purchased by Kabila from China, Xie Kai has even forgotten about this stubble.

"General, is this what you mean to President Mwini?" Xie Kai frowned.

I really didn't think of this before.

He understands the concerns of the Tanzanian government.

With a strong army of mercenaries with an advanced and powerful war machine, it is very easy to overthrow the government.

"This is a concern for the whole government. If the quantity is small, it is not a problem, or if we have a larger number of advanced weapons and equipment, there is no problem. Kovarrubi pondered his rhetoric.

They are ready to take this opportunity to get China to invest a lot of money to help Tanzania develop.

With nickel mining in Burundi, a primary smelter in Tanzania is about to come online.

A power plant has also been built in the surrounding area.

In this way, it will drive the development of many surrounding industries, and Tanzania's economic development almost depends on these investments.

Originally, there were only some light industrial factories built with Chinese assistance, but they were not on a large scale at all.

It is absolutely impossible to bring it up directly with Xie Kai.

"Your country also has a plan to purchase these weapons and equipment?" Xie Kai frowned.

Tanzania is too poor.

In the past, they relied on China's free financial aid, but now that China does not have free financial aid, they have begun to apply for interest-free loans and low-interest loans, or seek financial assistance from the World Bank.

The price of 359 tanks is too high, and Tanzania's little defense budget can't support it at all.

Income can't support it either.

"We do have such an idea, but we have to pay in advance from your country, and we will mortgage it with the mines...... There are gold mines around Lake Victoria, and some diamond mines......," Kovarrubi said.

"We weren't very interested in diamond mines. ”

Diamonds in Tanzania are not in very good condition.

"What about industrial diamonds?" said Kovarrubi with a sly expression.

Xie Kai was stunned.

With the development of the domestic industry, there is a great demand for diamond, especially some difficult-to-machine materials, which require diamond as a processing tool and raw material, which makes the domestic diamond output not very sufficient.

The technology of turning graphite into synthetic diamond in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment is available in China, and the production cost is too high to be invested on a large scale.

In other words, it's because the production process is not mature.

More is the use of natural diamonds.

"We have millions of tons of diamond reserves, but we don't have the ability to mine them, and we don't have the processing capacity, we can provide mining workers and mines, and you can provide production equipment and technology, build factories directly in our country, and ship them back to ......China after production," Kovarubi described a very promising future for Xie Kai.

Xie Kai was silent.

He really has no way to make a decision on this matter, so he has to ask Wang Guilin about them.

It is also necessary to contact the domestic units with processing capacity to see if they are willing to invest in Tanzania.

As for the Tanzanian government's thoughts, Shekai knows better than anyone else.

The Tanzanian government needs development funds, and China needs resources for development, which is a good thing for both sides.

"Cooperative development?" Xie Kai asked.

"Yes, our profits are used to repay you for your equipment...... "Kovarrubi nodded.

Xie Kai rolled his eyes when he heard this.

"Do you think that you don't need interest on your investment? Even if you directly transport ore back from your country, it will take a long time to see the benefits after the investment. General, you have really done a good job in this calculation......" Xie Kai looked disdainful, "unless you bear the interest on the equipment money you owe, I can personally lend you a part of it." ”

More than a billion dollars in his hand, just like this, is a little inappropriate.

Originally, the money was prepared for the Soviet Union, and if the investment was returned to the country and then withdrawn, it would definitely be discovered, and there would be no explanation at that time.

Rather than this, it is better to invest in the field of domestic military equipment.

The Iran-Iraq war is coming to an end, and the delivery of tanks ordered by Silly Damu from China is also coming to an end, so far, the troops have not determined how much to purchase, although the 404 has been required to be exported to domestic sales, and now some technical upgrades are underway, and the prototypes have not yet been taken out.

Once the huge production line loses orders, this will soon make the domestic armored vehicle manufacturing system face the original dilemma again.

More than a billion dollars have been invested, and it can be produced slowly, waiting for the country's economy to improve.

"What should I do if I can't get it back if I borrow money from Tanzania?" Wang Guilin felt that Xie Kai's idea was too strange.

Zheng Yucheng also shook his head, "No, once their government falls, what if the new government doesn't admit the debt?"

404 now has a large amount of money in his hands, and he invests it in the country, and the profit is very high, at least more than 15% of the profit.

If the loan is given to Tanzania, the impact will be very serious.

Tanzania's economy is too poor, and the industry hardly has much output.

Heavy industry, even if the development of mining and smelting industries will have a positive impact on domestic equipment exports, but they need to advance all the funds.

The Tanzanian government has no money.

"I think it's still something to think about. The 359 tank is about to face the dilemma of no orders, which will not have much impact on us, but what about the 541? 617 still has some orders from the military every year. Xie Kai sighed.

541 was not built in the first place, and it began to be converted completely.

The original fate was like that, and in the end, there was no production capacity for armored vehicles at all, and the production line was completely scrapped.

Now the cooperation between 404 and 541 is the closest, almost 541 has completely become the foundry of 404, 359 tanks, half of which are produced and assembled by 541.

Even most of the parts of the excavators in the base are produced by the subordinate factories of 541. The factory invested by Jiayuguan is only an assembly plant, and most of the parts are not produced.

Otherwise, the investment is too big.

Without the production of tanks and armored vehicles, this plant would be completely ruined.

In the end, it was completely reduced to the civilian product processing industry.

"You have to think about the safety of our funds, it seems that there is indeed no pressure of lack of funds now, but what can be done? The Y-10 still has no orders; the super-7B still has a greater demand for funds; and our warship project ......," Wang Guilin said to Xie Kai seriously.

At present, the base is supported by funds from the sale of equipment.

The country's economic development is good, but the demand for funds for the infrastructure of the whole country has become greater, and after the completion of the disarmament of one million, military spending has not only not increased, but has decreased. Even if it is averaged to each soldier, the military budget has increased a little.

In such a huge country, there is not a single third-generation tank or a third-generation fighter in the heavy equipment of the national defense forces.

To keep up with the pace of the world and meet the country's defense needs, it will take at least a trillion dollars......

It's a piece of fat.

Once 404 loses its production capacity, they don't have to count on the fat of equipment for national defense construction in the future.

"We can leave nothing else, but 541 can't afford to lose the ability to produce tanks and armored vehicles. ”

"What happened to the Mi-25 gunship in Chad?" Zheng Yucheng did not answer Xie Kai's words, but changed the topic.
