757 Contribute to Iran's national defense construction
(5/5 for driden)
As for whether these rockets and artillery were bought for a counteroffensive against Iraq, it is not necessarily.
For Khamenei, he is reluctant to counterattack Iraq, and more than two years of war have caused Iran's economy to decline severely. Khomeini has been asking him for orders to launch attacks on Saudi and Iraqi oil tankers in the Red Sea.
He was almost under pressure.
"Director Liu, can your C801 anti-ship missile be cheaper? It would be a waste to have these missiles to hit Iraq's gunboats. Moreover, we need more less powerful and inexpensive anti-ship missiles, capable of penetrating tankers! Khomeini, who had never spoken, suddenly asked Liu Yijiu.
The C801 costs millions of dollars each, which is really expensive.
If Iraq had access to large warships, they would definitely be like Argentina in sinking the aircraft carrier Invincible on the empire......
Hearing this, Liu Yijiu immediately frowned.
Khomeini obviously wants to launch a ship attack, which is absolutely not possible, otherwise, Iran will completely embark on the old path and affect its own weapons and equipment! It is definitely not easy to find such a tyrant customer, and it is still difficult to say whether the Saudi Arabian side can continue to trade for a long time.
After all, the history of his world is a good reference. In the late eighties, when Saudi Arabia's King Fahd was still tough, his younger brother King Abdullah completely turned to the United States. King Fahd and his old man were bold and powerful people, and the biggest deal was the purchase of DF-3 from China, which maintained Saudi Arabia's deterrent power against neighboring enemies until the first few decades of the 21st century.
Fahd died. Abdullah came to power, and the Saudis not only had thousands of troops stationed in the United States, but also in the second decade of the twentieth century. Hundreds of billions of dollars in weapons and equipment were purchased from the United States! All of these are eliminated by the US imperialists, and if they are given to the republic, such a huge amount of money will definitely make the republic's military industry develop faster!
You know, these are all conventional weapons and equipment.
Moreover, it is obvious that Saudi Arabia has been cheated by the US imperialists, and the price of just four littoral combat ships with not very outstanding technical performance of the US imperialists has reached 112. $500 million. With this money, it is fully possible to purchase more than 20 Type 054A warships from China, or build a small aircraft carrier battle group!
What's more. Once a ship attack is launched, the United States will take this opportunity to intervene in the affairs of the Middle East, and they will seek to garrison troops in the Middle East.
How could Liu Yijiu tolerate such a thing?
"Alayatu, anti-ship missiles we can sell. And. Shoulder-fired anti-armor missiles are used. Even anti-aircraft missiles can hit warships. However, I hope you will consider this decision carefully. Although Saudi Arabia is indeed helping Iraq to transport oil exported to countries in the Asia-Pacific region, I wonder if you ever thought about what the final result would be once you started to strike at the other side's oil tankers? ”
Khomeini and Samnira were immediately puzzled.
Didn't Liu Yijiu support them in cleaning up Saddam?
Even Khamenei was a little puzzled, how could Liu Yijiu help him speak! Only to escalate the war, Liu Yijiu sold weapons and equipment. It will be more stable and able to receive a larger number of orders.
Samnila said this to Liu Yijiu. was very unhappy, and immediately said to him with an ugly face, "Mr. Liu, your country is because you signed a contract with Saudi Arabia for a batch of weapons and equipment, so you helped them speak, right?" ”
Liu Yijiu immediately shook his head, "It's not because we have cooperated with Saudi Arabia that we oppose your launch of a ship attack!" ”
This was to prevent the US imperialists and the Soviet Union from sending more warships and troops to the Gulf region.
"As soon as you fire at the tankers of neutral countries, more countries will join the war. Strikes on oil fields and facilities along Iran's coast would also attack Iranian oil tankers. Of course, this is unavoidable, and war is a confrontation in various forms, striking the economy, that is, the war potential of a country. However, you should think that once you do it, Saudi Arabia may not join the war, for fear that the fire will burn into their country, and another country that is eyeing it will have opportunities and excuses! ”
"Which country are you referring to?" Khomeini asked Liu Yijiu with a frown.
"America!" Liu Yijiu said without hesitation, "After launching the ****** revolution from Alayatu and overthrowing the Pahlavi dynasty, the influence of the United States in the Middle East has declined, and it cannot be compared with Afghanistan at all." Although Saudi Arabia is also a pro-American regime, King Fahd refuses to allow the United States to intervene militarily......"
These guys who can succeed in rebellion are not fools.
Liu Yijiuyi said, and they understood.
"At present, oil tankers coming in and out of the Red Sea carry 20 percent of the world's oil trade. Once a ship attack is launched, there will be transportation problems, which will make international oil prices soar. There is a war between your country and Iraq, and production has been seriously affected, but Saudi Arabia has launched OPEC, and oil production is constantly increasing...... "The Soviet Union is going to disintegrate, and Liu Yijiu will naturally not let the Soviets live for a few more years."
If the Soviet Union does not disintegrate, how can they snatch back the Ukrainian batch of strategic weapons?
What's more, international oil prices have risen sharply, which is beneficial to US imperialism.
"Moreover, most of these cruise ships are non-belligerent. For example, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, once their cruise ships are accidentally bombed, the final result is to seek charter from the United Nations and armed escorts...... As a result, the Americans have an excuse to sail warships into the Red Sea straits, and at the same time, the Soviets will send more warships to the area. Once the two empires fight on this side, they will end up losing some equipment and destroying your economy. International oil prices have been sluggish, and the Soviet Union has relied on oil and natural gas to support their economy, and only a reduction in oil production in the Middle East will solve the impact of the current low oil prices......"
Liu Yijiu persuaded bitterly.
Saddam Hussein will not launch a ship attack in the past two years, as long as he lasts another year, or less, let them arm themselves and beat Saddam's grandson, when he cried and shouted and begged Director Liu to sell them weapons and equipment, Liu Yijiu again made a request to ask for their oil fields, and then sell equipment, and revealed the plans of the Americans, I believe there will be no more problems.
The understanding of the historical trend makes Director Liu easy to deal with these things.
"In addition, regarding this war, I personally suggest that you do not care about the success of one city or one place, but mainly the annihilation of the living forces of the other side. Your crowd tactics are of little use in the face of powerful modern equipment...... "Seeing that the other party's bigwigs were silent, they did not condemn him for helping Saudi Arabia, nor did they raise other objections, knowing that they needed time to digest, Liu Yijiu simply changed the topic.
For the Iran-Iraq war, later generations summed up a lot.
Say a few random things, let them understand, and then improve, and you will be able to scream at the other side.
Originally, Liu Yijiu was ready to let Iraq beat Iran first, and then get more benefits from Iran, which had not yet been in contact with the Soviet Union and had no source of arms, but Saddam Hussein thought that his background was hard enough, so he could only support Iran.
Anyway, Iran will always be hostile to US imperialism and has persisted for half a century, and he personally does not mind.
"Director Liu, I know that you are very talented in military affairs, you are so young to master a huge unit in China, and you are responsible for the exploration of the development direction of the Chinese army, I wonder what kind of suggestions you have for our national defense construction?" Liu Yijiu's identity, Alex Kshei added fuel to the Iranian high-level introduction.
Longwei was developed by Liu Yijiu, and the Houyi air defense missile and Black Arrow air defense missile, which performed dazzlingly on the battlefield, were all developed by Liu Yijiu, which made them have to pay attention to Liu Yijiu.
Moreover, the Guardian Mercenary Regiment, which performed equally brilliantly on missions in Iran, claimed to have been trained by a young man, Liu Yijiu.
At present, they no longer let the Guardians take on war missions, but let the Guardian Mercenary Group help them train the elite of the Revolutionary Guards!
"I do have some thoughts on your country's national defense construction. Every battle on your side, and even every skirmish, we are very concerned! You have a lot of advanced weapons in your country, but you don't have the performance of advanced weapons at all! Especially equipment like the F14 fighter, because you are worried about losses, you let the fighter retreat...... This will only cost you more! Armament, sometimes, is not advanced enough to save a campaign, but quantity! Liu Yijiu despised the Iranians for an artifact like the F14 fighter to stay in the rear, mainly to protect the capital.
If the F14 participates in the war for a long time, it will reduce more losses for them, and at the same time, they will be able to achieve greater results!
Just like now, they also withdrew the Dragon Guard tanks to the rear, and the front was even worse to resist......
"Director Liu, it's not that we don't want to send them out, but our industrial base is poor, spare parts are seized by the United States, and we can't produce them ourselves, and at the same time, the supporting air-to-air missiles, air-to-ground missiles, our number is insufficient, once consumed, there will be no ......" Samnila is not afraid of exposing her own ugliness.
Liu Yijiu immediately held his head high and said: "Please don't forget our agreement, when you gave us F14 fighters, we promised that we would be able to provide you with the same type of spare parts within three years!" And missiles can be provided to you. That's why I'm in Iran! ”
