Chapter Seventy-Two: The Two Countries Fight, Jiang Chen Gains (A)
mentioned above the big fish that Jiang Chen wants to catch, and today I will reveal the mystery for you. In fact, it is the two countries of Babylon and Persia, these two countries are now fighting because of border religion and ethnic issues, according to the memories of Jiang Chen's later generations, the two countries fought for eight years, one of the longest wars in the 20th century.
It should be said that it is a veritable war of attrition, a war in which neither side has more to gain than it loses, and there is no winner. Before the war, Babylon had a foreign exchange surplus of nearly $40 billion, and at the end of the war, its foreign debt was $80 billion, of which more than $40 billion was arms debt owed to Western countries and the Soviet Union, and more than $30 billion was loans owed to other Arab countries. During the war, Babylon suffered 180,000 dead and 250,000 wounded, and its direct losses (including military spending, war damage, and economic losses) were $350 billion. Persia also owes $45 billion in foreign debt, with 700,000 dead and more than 1.1 million wounded, and direct losses of $300 billion. The war has delayed economic development plans for both countries by at least 20 to 30 years.
The war took a heavy toll on both countries, stagnating economic development, plummeting oil exports, and killing and wounding millions. As a result, Babylon was also heavily indebted, amounting to $14 billion in debt to Kurt alone. This is also one of the reasons why Saddam later invaded Cott.
At the end of the war, the dividing line between the two countries returned to the pre-war situation. This war was one of the deadliest wars since World War II, second only to the Nanban War and the Northeast Peninsula War.
A large-scale and protracted war would be a great disaster for the peace-loving people of the two countries and the world, but for arms dealers like Jiang Chen and others, it would indeed be a rare and sumptuous feast. Otherwise, this small country, which was originally inconspicuous, would suddenly hold a defense exhibition, and with so many arms dealers gathered, basically all the arms companies that Jiang Chen could know in the future would have arrived.
To be honest, this war is a rare opportunity for the entire military industry of our country, and it is simply a "timely rain". In the early 80s, when the country entered a historical period of reform, opening up, and economic construction as the center, it had no choice but to reduce its armaments by a large amount and put forward the policy and principle of "the army must be patient." In this way, we lost domestic arms orders, and our military industrial enterprises were almost on the verge of collapse, and the arms orders sent because of the Liangyi War at this time were undoubtedly a relief for our military factories that were in difficulty at that time.
After the start of the war, although the international community began to impose an arms embargo on both sides, there were loopholes in the regulations, so the two countries tried to make up for the wartime losses by importing aircraft from countries with close relations, so the arms trade continued, but there were only a few more twists and turns.
For Jiang Chen, this is definitely an opportunity for him to realize his dream, as long as Jiang Chen can firmly grasp it, it will be a big boost to the capital accumulation in the early stage. Jiang Chen also planned this matter a long time ago, from the moment he was about to step into the door of the B17 factory, he was thinking about where the way out of this factory that was about to close down and go bankrupt. It must not work at home, so Jiang Chen looked abroad.
During this period, there were three main foreign wars, the Falklands War, the Avice-Khan War, and the Liangyi War, the previous Falklands War obviously had nothing to do with Jiang Chen, and Jiang Chen couldn't intervene, this was a war between adults and children, although children knocked out a few teeth of adults while adults were not paying attention, but adults are adults, once they react, children have no power to parry.
So Jiang Chen focused his attention on the following two wars, the Avice-Khan War is now a war for the country's resistance organization to resist the invasion of the Soviet Union, this war The West has given great help to the resistance organization, of course, our country has also supported a lot, because we are fighting with the Nanban, and the reason why the Nanban is so arrogant is because of the support of the Su *. Jiang Chen wanted to take this opportunity to sell something, you must know that the 120mm bazooka and high-precision sniper rifle specially produced by Jiang Chen were prepared for this mountain guerrilla warfare, and Su * is famous for its powerful armored force. And the resistance group cannot have the same level of armor to resist, the power of the traditional 40 fire is too small, not enough to damage the target with thicker armor, and the advanced anti-tank missiles of the West cannot be used, the reason is that the operation is too complicated, and most of the members of these resistance groups are uneducated and cannot use this weapon, so Jiang Chen's bazooka is also a good choice.
Finally, there is the Liangyi War, which has been fought for two years, and now it is Persia that has launched the "Operation Victory" offensive, and the battle is in full swing, so any weapon and equipment that can change the tide of the war is fought for by both sides. Babylon needs to reorganize its elite troops to fight against the Persian large-scale crowd tactics, so it needs elite weapons, individual weapons are also an important component, and the squad rifle system designed and manufactured by Jiang Chen is a good choice. There is also a high-precision sniper rifle, which is also a sharp weapon against the Persian army, which has relatively weak protection capabilities.
And now for the Persian army, facing the Babylonian army with advanced armored forces is also a headache, because they are still relatively weak in terms of armor, but now Jiang Chen's bazooka has perfectly solved this problem, only a very cheap rocket can destroy tanks and armored vehicles dozens or hundreds of times higher than it, which is a very cost-effective deal. And I heard that the Babylonians have already contacted Jiang Chen and them, so the Persians can't relax, what they buy, we also have to buy some confrontation. What's more, Jiang Chen's weapons are really good, although they are more expensive than cheap Soviet-style firearms, but their performance has also improved several times, and they are much cheaper than Western weapons of the same level. More importantly, the Persians have been sanctioned by the West because of the outbreak of the civil war, and they can't buy Western weapons at all, and now they have a high-performance weapon that they can buy in their dreams, how can they let it go.
Therefore, both sides found Jiang Chen and them, and after discussing with the leaders of the team, it was decided to receive the representatives of Babylon first, and then contact the representatives of Persia to separate the two representatives to avoid embarrassment.
"Hello, Mr. Imaddin. Jiang Chen bent down with his armrests and saluted. Of course, all this has been translated by Liu Yun, and the following dialogue is also like this, so I won't note them one by one.
A middle-aged man with a full beard with a khaki red checkered turban also bent down with his armrests and saluted: "Venerable Jiang, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
"Please be seated!" Jiang Chen instructed with a smile.
"Thank you. Imad al-Din and his entourage sat down one after another.
"Mr. Jiang, our two countries are traditional friendly countries, and I would like to convey the respect of our people to your people. Imad said with a smile.
"Thank you, and please also convey the respect of our people to your people. Jiang Chen replied with a smile as he painted a gourd.
"Mr. Jiang, I believe you have also heard about what happened to our country, please help us in our traditional friendship. "Imad al-Din was the first to enter the topic, and now due to the Persian spring offensive, the land that has been occupied is once again at risk of being taken by them, so there is news from the country, let them complete the purchase of equipment as soon as possible, and equip the troops as soon as possible.
"Hehe, Mr. Imad Din, I personally sympathize with the plight of your people, so I will do everything we can to help you who do not know how you need our help. Jiang Chen said unhurriedly, in fact, what help can come here, it is nothing more than arms, these are just polite.
Both sides are polite.,Let's start to get to the point.,How will this cooperation be carried out?,Please see the next chapter.,Update in thirty minutes.。
