276 $500 million in special military spending for Iranians
"Director Zheng, it seems that you can't provide military training services on behalf of your country's military, right?" The two sides had a heated conversation, and Ihor opened his mouth with a word, which made the fiery atmosphere cold.
The 404 base is only a scientific research unit and an equipment supplier, and it cannot provide military training services at all.
Alpha doesn't understand, Ihor can't be fooled.
"We really can't provide troop training, training and operations, but we can provide equipment operation training. Zheng Yucheng said. "Purchase our equipment, we provide training services......"
"What we want is to train the troops first, and then decide what kind of weapons and equipment to purchase and how much equipment to purchase according to the training situation of the troops. Ihor is not back down in the slightest.
The sudden dispute between the two sides surprised Xie Kai.
The style of painting is wrong.
"According to what you proposed earlier, it is to help us train a troop building plan from light infantry to rear fire support...... Ihor reminded Zheng Yucheng.
Zheng Yucheng wanted them to sign a contract for the purchase of equipment first, and then provide military training.
On the Iranian side, however, it asked for military training first, and the heavy equipment that can be provided at the 404 base has not been sampled until now, and most of the things are still at the drawing stage, so they will naturally not order them first.
After all, this is not a memorandum of signing, nor is it a contract of intent.
Rather, it is a procurement contract.
"General, aren't you satisfied with the plan we provided before?" Xie Kai asked.
He originally planned to stop participating in it, but now that the most important business is Huang, he naturally can't help but open his mouth.
"It's not that we're not satisfied, it's that you've proposed a lot of troop buildups, and according to our understanding, your weapons and equipment can't match!" Ihor said. "Whether it's your self-propelled guns for rear support, or 359 tanks, so far we only know some technologies, and we don't know how to complete sets...... Is it possible to use your Type 63 to match the 359 tank in the armored vehicles that cooperate with the tanks? Or do you think that the tanks run to the front and wait for the armored vehicles to come up?
Ihor's series of questions made Zheng Yucheng and others a little embarrassed.
Long Yaohua is no exception.
In the final analysis, from the beginning to the present, they have relied on the so-called "plan" to make money, and the real weaponry is just a small individual air defense missile.
So, everyone's eyes were on Xie Kai.
Xie Kai was really helpless this time.
Iranians are really too difficult to fool, and it is not easy to make money.
Just give up? Definitely not.
"General, you're right. However, the 359 tank and the 122 self-propelled howitzer will soon be able to see samples. As for armored vehicles, ordinary ones can be ......," Xie Kai said.
"What we need is the construction of troops that can improve combat effectiveness as soon as possible!" Ihor looked at Xie Kai calmly. "We can't afford to spend money on an uncertain construction plan. ”
"If you are not satisfied with the plan, we can discuss. As for the procurement of equipment, we can leave it out for now. In this way, the service is not a side contract for equipment procurement...... "Xie Kai is also forced to be calm.
In such a situation, the Iranians obviously do not want to pay in advance.
The 404 base is short of money again.
To train the Iranians according to Xie Kai's army building plan, if they don't buy weapons and equipment, they will definitely have to pay for it.
"Alternatively, we can sign a contract of intent first. Long Yaohua said that he hoped that the two sides could reach a cooperation agreement.
As long as a cooperation agreement is reached, at that time, for emergency purposes, a batch of ordinary equipment can be sold to the Iranians first.
Domestic tanks, armored vehicles, although backward, but easy to use.
At this time, both sides had no desire to talk about such cooperation, and the people of 404 did not force it.
Anyway, the contract for 1,000 sets of missiles has already been signed, and tomorrow we will start supplying them on a single and double basis.
Zheng Yucheng and others communicated with Long Yaohua to discuss how to solve it, but Xie Kai was not interested in listening to them, sometimes thinking that he was very bored these days, everyone in the whole base was busy, and his parents couldn't even take care of their home, and they were completely at home.
Do it all over again, will this life pass like this?
Like the older generation of military workers, dedicate yourself completely to the military industry?
It's not that Xie Kai is unwilling, but in addition to his decades of knowledge and understanding of some technological developments, he is not good at real technical research.
As Xie Jianguo told him, a person's life is very short, and research in any field cannot be completely done in a lifetime.
So he chose to take the path of management, the problem is that the management things are arranged to be done, and he is not in college now, although the base gave him the title of special adviser, and the monthly salary is said to be higher than his father's, these days, he feels that he is quite bored like this.
Every day, I just mess around in various workshops and don't go to school.
It's as boring as the whole base.
Therefore, Xie Kai decided to think about the meaning of life and understand why people live.
Just like the previous life, it didn't seem to be interesting to be in a mess all my life, and now I don't think it's interesting to watch others busy all day long.
didn't discuss the issue of the railway with Zheng Yucheng and them, Xie Kai didn't have time to find a place to think about life, and the Iranians found Xie Kai.
"General, I really can't help with your negotiations with the base...... Xie Kai didn't understand their intentions, thinking that he had come for their negotiations.
"No, Xie Kai, we want to talk to you. As for the army building program, this is what you put forward. Ihor said to Shekai.
The attitude is very sincere.
"Isn't it already very clear that the text plan already exists?" Xie Kai was puzzled.
"We have no doubts about the technology you're developing. Your country does not have such a construction plan, and we need to be guaranteed. Ihor's eyes kept staring at Xie Kai, "We have a brigade establishment! If it is reliable, the equipment of this brigade can be purchased from China." ”
"You should talk to the base, to our military. Xie Kai was slightly shocked in his heart, and said while quickly calculating how much money a brigade's equipment could get from the Iranians.
The matter of equipment procurement, especially when it comes to large-scale procurement by the military, is not a 404-related product, and it is necessary to rely on the Iranians to negotiate with the relevant units of the military.
"Your country's military is fine, the problem is your base. Xie Kai, let's not beat around the corner, we have been together these days, we are friends!" Alpha also looked at Xie Kai.
For Xie Kai's right to speak, they have already experienced it.
"We are friends, there's no doubt about that!" Xie Kai stressed, unable to figure out what the Iranians think.
"Since we're friends, we know how much influence you have over the 404 leadership, so ......" Alpha said with a smile.
Xie Kai could only follow them back to the guest house.
"What the Iranians need is a brigade formation. We don't know exactly what this brigade has in mind, and the plan you provided before is rather vague, so it's hard to estimate how much they will invest in this brigade. This is an exploration of army building, and the higher authorities also hope to see results. Long Yaohua looked at the few people in 404 and said with a serious face. "Now that the problem of eating here has been solved, you should consider better development. If you have the opportunity to help your brother unit, I hope you will give up your prejudices. ”
"Who helped us when we were dying of starvation before?" Zheng Yucheng said dissatisfiedly.
Wang Guilin and the others kept smoking.
Long Yaohua's meaning is obvious, if it doesn't work, he will use the equipment of other units to take the Iranian order first.
"Everyone can't get enough to eat!" Several people here know each other, and Long Yaohua doesn't use consciousness, principles, or D nature to talk about things.
"How much money did they prepare?" Wang Guilin extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand. "If the establishment of a brigade is replaced with advanced equipment, I don't know how much it will cost. And these domestic equipment can't be sold at any price......"
When Wang Guilin asked Long Yaohua, Xie Kai was also asking the Iranians.
"How much money do you have for this brigade? A tank brigade, or an artillery brigade, or even a light infantry brigade, requires different funds...... "The Iranians send it to the door, and they don't slaughter it in vain."
Ask them how much money they have before thinking about how to configure it.
"We're hoping to do a full configuration and build according to the plan you provided earlier. So I'd like to talk to you about the situation and decide how to configure it. "Ihor's tone is tight.
Xie Kai wanted to find out how much money they had prepared, but he definitely couldn't tell him.
Otherwise, you will have to ask for a sky-high price.
"Is most of the equipment procured separately, or is it from your country's active forces, or is it procured from the Soviets?" Xie Kai continued.
Xie Kai stuffed a cigarette in his mouth.
"It depends. Ihor still didn't say anything.
All of a sudden, Xie Kai was embarrassed.
These Iranian guys are really hard to deal with, and their tone is too tight.
"If you can make constructive suggestions, you can be fully responsible for training and providing, maybe this order will be yours. Alpha reminded Xie Kai. "We are ready to build the Revolutionary @ Life Guard into an army with land, sea and air forces......"
Xie Kai knew that Iran's Khomeini troops would be this year.
Now it's finally confirmed.
"According to our intelligence, the Iranians and the Soviets are also negotiating similar cooperation. Cooperation in army building packages, ranging from light weapons to heavy weapons, is based on their force building. Uncertain information indicates that the Iranians have set aside a special fund of $500 million for this purpose. Long Yaohua told Zheng Yucheng solemnly.
Zheng Yucheng and the others were dumbfounded.
Five billion dollars!
How much weaponry is needed for this?
According to the price of the Type 617 tank sold by the 69 factory, it would take a thousand tanks to reach this number!
