"We have to come to an agreement as soon as possible, and we have to make sure they don't give it to the Persians! These bastards, unlike the rest of the Chinese, don't care about face at all." They're just like the vampires in the West, they only care about profits!"

China can provide only 404 of the advanced equipment they need.

Threatening Xie Kai now is just to scare.

It really made the Chinese delegation have trouble in Iraq, although there are still weapons and equipment supplies from France and other European countries, and even the Soviet Union will supply weapons and equipment, which is not only expensive, but also has to pay some huge sacrifices.

China doesn't need it.

"I think it's better to talk about it. They came to negotiate with the Soviets. If it is stopped, the Soviets will also be angry, and from Baghdad to Basra, they are already very dissatisfied. Qasim reminded Ibrahim.

A long delay means many hitches.

The Soviets had long been impatient, especially now that Basra had defended itself against the Persian attack, and it was now clear that such a large-scale attack on Basra was a feint.

Their real strategic goal is the Faw Peninsula.

"What did you tell them? Although it was not pleasant to be under house arrest, they did not treat us harshly. Xie Jianguo was worried. "Our people are all very well taken care of. ”

"Nothing. These bastards probably want to blackmail us into getting 359 tanks and ground red flag missiles at a lower price. Xie Kai sighed. "I don't think I got any bargains at the base. By the way, Dad, how did you know that our 359 tank performed well? You don't know Arabic?"

As for where Xie Jianguo got the information, Xie Kai was very curious.

"Our people said it. The previous technicians had been following the experimental tank unit in action. ”

"Are they on the battlefield?" Xie Kai asked with a frown, "Before coming out, didn't the base explicitly prohibit them from participating in their military operations? ”

When Xie Kai heard this, he was anxious.

Isn't this looking for trouble?

In the Iran-Iraq war, the Arabs and Persians were allowed to fight them, although Western countries also participated in it, but they were relatively hidden.

At most, the Americans provided intelligence to the Iraqis, and there were weapons used in the battle array experiments, and the advisory group hid behind to make suggestions.

The same is true of the Soviets, the fighter planes provided to the Iraqis should be operated by their people, but the outside world does not know.

If 404 people were involved, they would definitely be hyped up.

"No, they just provide logistics, and the tanks are all Iraqis. Xie Jianguo explained.

The performance of the 359 tank was described in detail.

This war was only possible because it was in the rainy season, the roads were muddy, and the Persians were careful to secretly mobilize fighters and tanks to the front line at the beginning and hide them.

Even without the Red Banner of the Ground with a cloudburst bomb, the Persians would have occupied the Fao Peninsula.

Xie Jianguo's understanding of the frontline situation is not very detailed, plus Xie Kai knows the results of the Battle of Dawning 8.

Moreover, the Persians would continue several military campaigns to expand their successes.

"Dozens of missiles and more than a dozen tanks can't change the outcome of the war. That's a good thing for us. Later the weapon was better sold. After hearing this, Xie Kai said with a smile.

Soon, a nurse came in with water, and the father and son didn't say anything more.

As Xie Jianguo said, the Iraqis really take good care of them, and almost all other requirements can be met except that they are not allowed to leave the room.

It took two days for Ibrahim to reappear in the ward.

Xie Kai's injury was not serious, but he had some concussions, so he recovered quickly.

"You're not worried at all, if you continue like this, you're going to get zero on this year's exams. "Xie Jianguo was very irritable, and the Iraqis put them under house arrest.

He had only been in contact with the technicians here once, and now he couldn't even see the team members who came with him, not even the Soviets.

"It's not a college entrance exam. Dad, don't worry, there will be no problem with the college entrance examination. Xie Kai was calm, "The more there is no movement, the better it is for us." If you really want to kill us, where will it do this to us? It's just to put pressure on us and then put forward conditions. ”

Xie Jianguo looked at his son, and for a while he had a little illusion, he was not Lao Tzu, Xie Kai was.

That said, because he had nothing to do here every day, he was still irritable in his heart.

If I had known, I shouldn't have listened to Xie Kai's foolery and ran here.

How nice it is to stay at the base.

"Salute!" After several days, Xie Kai couldn't bear it anymore, and finally heard the voice of the non-sentry outside the door.

Ibrahim reappeared at the door of the hospital room.

"General, are you here to announce our decision to execute?" Xie Kai asked with a smile as he looked at Ibrahim, "According to our Chinese tradition, before being executed, you should eat a severed head meal. ”

Xie Kai's words made Ibrahim stunned.

The words that were originally prepared were a little unspeakable for a while.

"Thanks, we need to talk. Finally, Ibrahim spoke, "About our cooperation." ”

"I can't talk about this. General, we really can't compensate for your losses. Xie Kai knew the other party's intention, but instead pretended to be embarrassed, "If you talk about compensation, please execute us." ”

"......" Ibrahim saw that Xie Kai was chasing after this, and didn't even want to talk to him.

"Are you finished?" Ibrahim's assistant scolded Xie Kai with a cold face, "The general's time is precious, and it's not for you. ”

"This is not the place to talk, you come with me. Ibrahim said to Shekai and turned to leave.

Xie Kai wants to see what the Iraqis want.

Xie Jianguo couldn't help but be anxious when he saw Xie Kai go out, but was stopped by Xie Kai, "Dad, it's okay." Things will change in a moment, and that's a good thing. ”

"They won't be bad for you, right?" Xie Jianguo asked, "Tian Li doesn't know anything about it." ”

Xie Kai only remembered at this time that there was a woman who followed him, and he had never remembered it these days.

"She shouldn't have any problems. Iraqis cannot afford that consequence. Unless, they don't need to get weapons and equipment from us. Xie Kai said calmly.

What does Ibrahim do?

The head of the arms procurement department of the Iraqi Ministry of Logistics, and a relative of President Saddam Hussein.

Signaling his father to rest assured, Xie Kai left directly with Ibrahim, only to find that the room he was in was a four-story building, and they were on the top floor.

It's a big hospital.

In the office that Ibrahim entered, through the window on one side, you can see a lot of tents on the ground, and the military doctors and nurses in white coats are constantly shuttling, and from time to time stretchers carry people into or out of a half-blown five-story building next to it.

"Originally, this was the best hospital in Basra, but now it'......," Ibrahim said calmly as he saw Xie Kai looking out the window.

"War is always brutal. So, we always wanted to avoid war. Xie Kai took a deep breath, in the country, in the base, these situations are not seen at all, "War is more cruel to ordinary people. What we can do is to develop weapons and equipment with higher deterrent power, so that the enemy does not dare to invade easily......"

Xie Kai turned his head and said to Ibrahim.

War is the game of power holders.

Moreover, it was Saddam Hussein who started the war in the first place, although the Persians did something unauthentic and kept flattering people in certain parts of their country.

"I wasn't trying to scare you, the president was very angry with you. Ibrahim motioned for Xie Kai to sit down, and waited until his assistant had made Xie Kai a cup of tea and left. "It took a lot of effort to get the president to be angry, and now we're going to talk about things that are at stake for all of you. ”

Xie Kai was noncommittal and didn't say anything.

Ibrahim is not as strong as he was a few days ago.

Even a few days ago, he lacked confidence.

"We need the missiles and warheads you provide to the Persians! At the same time, the number of tanks ordered will increase. Ibrahim didn't beat around the bush anymore.

"General, if it's just about talking about arms procurement deals, I can help and I'll be very happy. We'd better be more sincere and less tentative. Xie Kai didn't bother to talk nonsense.

On the territory of the Iraqis, it is too aggrieved.

"Five hundred 359 tanks. Ibrahim no longer beat around the bush, "The price must not be ...... according to yours."

Xie Kai was shocked when he heard this, the Iraqis are crazy?

The 359 tank has not yet been finalized, the performance is good, some problems have not been solved, and the order for 500 units is placed directly.

Based on 2.5 million vehicles, that's more than a billion dollars.

Ibrahim's shock to him is not over yet.

"The kind of missiles sold to the Persians, we need at least 500 of them, and we can sell the technology, the best!"

Xie Kai's eyes widened.

Is Saddam crazy, or is the one in front of him joking?

"In addition, we need 70 J-7,120 122-mm self-propelled guns......" Ibrahim's shock to Xie Kai did not end completely.

The huge demand for orders made Xie Kai a little breathless.

Iraqis are not going to live anymore?

Purchasing so much at once.

Even according to the original price of the J-7 in China, one is only 7 million US dollars, and 70 will cost about 500 million US dollars, and hundreds of 122 mm self-propelled howitzers will cost hundreds of millions of ......

The entire order demand will exceed 2 billion US dollars!

How could Xie Kai not be excited?

If this deal is reached, then the 404 base will have a very good time in the next ten years.

"General, do you have so much money? won't it all be paid for with oil?" Xie Kai suppressed his excitement, calmed down the frantic heart, and asked cautiously.
