"Director Liu, this is General Kanon of the logistics department of the Iranian Ministry of Defense......" Haliyak did not pay attention to Liu Yijiu's difficulties, but excitedly introduced a group of Iranians to Liu Yijiu.

The hostage crisis in Tehran should have erupted, and dozens of people in the US embassy should have been controlled by Khomeini's call, after all, it was already late November 1979. Liu Yijiu does not remember the exact time when the hostage crisis broke out in Tehran, but he knows that the entire hostage crisis lasted for a very long time.

The Pahlavi dynasty is supported by the Americans, and the whole of Iran has F14 Panda fighters that the Americans do not export to the rest of the world, which is the only country that exports F14s.

The Americans supported Iran in order to prevent the Soviets from expanding their strategic presence in the Middle East, and at the same time, Iranian oil was also very important to the Americans.

It's just that the Americans supported the Pahlavi dynasty, and after the collapse of the Pahlavi dynasty, the United States terminated the delivery of weapons and equipment to Iran.

The 444-day hostage crisis in Tehran began.

"Director Liu, after several days of performance, we are very satisfied with the performance of your tanks and armored vehicles, and I hope you can provide us with a batch of your country's Longwei tanks and Bull armored vehicles as soon as possible......" After Carmen's introduction, he learned that the young man in front of him was the person in charge of the development unit of these two weapons, and at the same time. They also have the right to sell these weapons and equipment, and they directly put forward their opinions.

Liu Yijiu heard this. smiled bitterly in his heart, but on the surface he was silent.

The Pahlavi dynasty had a lot of money. The fact that it was able to buy dozens of F14 Panda fighters from the Americans for 80 million dollars is proof of this.

The current Iranian government should have withheld a lot of money from the Pahlavi royal family, and Iran was still a major oil exporter when it was not under sanctions. In the current situation, they have ample funds in their hands.

It must not be cheap, Lao Maozi.

You must know that after the start of the war, Iran was defeated by Iraq, which was jointly supported by the United States and the Soviet Union, and lost a large number of tanks and heavy equipment. They lost twice as much as Iraq, precisely because of their lack of equipment.

If it were not for the fact that a significant number of T72 tanks were acquired from the Soviets in the later period, as well as a significant number of cheap 59 tanks from China. They simply would not have taken the initiative in the second phase of the war and invaded Iraq.

"Director Wang, please take His Royal Highness the Prince to our test site to see the performance of our tanks and armored vehicles." Only then did Liu Yijiu remember the existence of Sihanouk, this guy said that he had money, but compared to the new Iranian government with strong national strength and huge oil and foreign exchange, the point in his hands was too little.

Moreover, it is in their interest to purchase for a long time.

Throughout the Iran-Iraq war. Iraq and Iran purchased more than 1,000 T72s from the Soviets.

Their own Lung Guard, a tank developed for the T72 of the Soviets, must put an end to their myth and let the evil Soviets cut off this huge source of profits. A junk T72, they dare to sell it for two hundred and fifty dollars a piece. It's intolerable.

In the face of Liu Yijiu's snobbery, Sihanouk was also very speechless.

But he couldn't say anything.

The scene in front of him made him believe that Chinese young people were not looking for help.

Liu Yijiu is not very familiar with the test site here. Led by Khaliak, who had been staying here, he led several Iranians into the barracks of the test site. The conditions here are very rudimentary, but for them. It's not terribly hard to accept.

Since 73, Iraq and Iran, two rich oil exporters in the Middle East, have spent hundreds of billions of dollars to import advanced weapons and equipment from the Western world and the Soviet Union, and have become the world's top military powers.

Of course, the Iran-Iraq war has been commented by the world as a typical example of "advanced weapons fighting a low-level war", and the consumption of advanced equipment is very terrifying.

More than half of the $200 billion military expenditure is the purchase of weapons and equipment.

Liu Yijiu will never admit it.

The Longwei type can be said to have been prepared for the Iran-Iraq war. He didn't even think about selling it to just one company, but selling it to both warring sides, and then he would be able to discover the performance flaws of the Longwei I to the greatest extent.

"General Canon, our Dragonguard, you must have understood the combat performance. In particular, the operation is simple, easy to drive, the only defect is that the maintenance of this aspect of the technical level requirements are relatively high, compared with the weapons and equipment of Western countries and the advanced equipment of the Soviet Union, our operation is much simpler...... "Liu Yijiu naturally knows that whether it is Iraq or Iran, the level of education of their soldiers is generally not high.

This is very similar to the situation of the People's Liberation Army during this period.

The Longwei type was originally developed in a targeted manner.

"Director Liu, we are very sure of this. In particular, some auxiliary equipment of the operating system on the tank has great benefits for the improvement of our combat effectiveness. Therefore, we urgently need you to provide training samples and teaching materials as soon as possible......" Canon did not have any objection to Liu Yijiu's introduction.

Originally, when they went to China, there was no way, hoping to purchase a large batch of 59 tanks from China, but it was not an easy thing to form combat effectiveness in a short time.

Since their leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini came to power, Saddam Hussein has begun to sharpen his knives, and Iran is not a fool in this matter.

Whoever is the boss in the Middle East must fight it.

In the entire Middle East, the two countries have always competed for the third place in the world's military strength.

In addition to the Soviet Union and the United States, the number of advanced weapons and equipment is greater than that of China.

Iran was originally dismissive of China's backward weapons and equipment, but China's combat effectiveness in the Vietnam War showed them that China is not without advanced weapons and equipment.

The entire Soviet armament and equipment units of the Vietnamese were beaten by the Chinese to the point of crying and howling, and there was no advanced weaponry? That's.

In particular, the Chinese anti-tank missiles were able to take out the most advanced T72 of the Soviets.

Iraq is negotiating with the Soviet Union to purchase the T72, and the most advanced tanks of the Americans, because of the fall of the Pahlavi dynasty, especially now that the hostage crisis has completely severed diplomatic relations between the two countries, it is even more impossible to pay them.

"If it's just a prototype car and training materials for teaching, that's not a problem. However, we don't know how much ...... you need" Liu Yijiu looked at Haliyak, and the other party didn't know at all, how much the offer was, and it was estimated that there was no.

"Three hundred! We want to be able to deliver as quickly as possible. At a price of two million dollars, we think it's more appropriate! Canon couldn't wait to say to Liu Yijiu.

Liu Yijiu suddenly felt a pain in his flesh, and looked at Haliak with an angry face.

When Haliyak heard the number, his flesh ached.

Liu Yijiu sold the tank to them for two million dollars, and it was because they were involved in the development of this advanced new tank, and not for any other reason.

Even if the price is 2.5 million US dollars, one car is more than 500,000, and the huge number of 300 vehicles will be 150 million US dollars more!

"Mr. Canon, I guess I'm going to disappoint you. Our tank, so far, has only been developed for less than a year. Moreover, various tests have not been completed, and there are many key component modules that have not been installed. If you don't add the anti-armor module and don't install the anti-aircraft module, there is no problem with this price...... "Liu Yijiu will definitely not stupidly agree to sell this medium tank specially designed to fight the Soviet T72 tank at this price.

What's more, in some sense, this tank has led the world trend, and it is no longer a simple tank, but the prototype of a war support weapon platform with a modern combat concept!

A T72 can be sold for 2.5 million to 3 million at the beginning, and although its own Longwei is only a medium tank, its performance is much higher than theirs, so it will naturally not be sold cheaply.

Kanon frowned and looked angrily at the embarrassed Halyak next to him.

"Director Liu, my offer for them is the price after adding the anti-armor module or the air defense module......" Haliak didn't dare to look at Liu Yijiu's eyes.

If you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates.

At this moment, hundreds of millions of dollars in profits were lost, and Liu Yijiu couldn't wait to strangle him.

"Mr. Qanon, the price of two million dollars is actually our production cost, because Pakistan participated in the research, so we gave them the cost price......" Liu Yijiu took a deep breath, not thinking about how much progress he could make on the new tank project with more than 100 million dollars, seeing that Qanon's face changed, he continued, "Since the Pakistani side has offered you two million dollars, for the sake of our partners' face, even if there is no profit in the end, We also agreed to sell ...... to you at this price."

Two million dollars, Pakistan will not want to share the profits from it.

"Liu, I'm sorry, this is what we meant, Mr. President......" Haliak said to Liu Yijiu very embarrassed.

Liu Yijiu was stunned.

Zia. When did that bastard hook up with Ayatollah Khomeini? Is it because they are all excited about Islam? Or is it because of the border between Iran and Pakistan? I haven't heard of how good the relationship between these two countries is! (To be continued......)
