750 700 Dragon Guard, how long will it take to deliver? (2/5 for Driden)
"General, in fact, we would prefer that you sit down and negotiate with the Iranian side, both of which are friendly countries of China. Your country has established diplomatic relations with us for a long time, although Iran only established diplomatic relations with us in 71 years, and the cooperation has been deepened in recent years, but after some cooperation was launched, the loss is really too large. Moreover, it is also not in our national interests. Liu Yijiu said solemnly.
But in my heart, if it really stops, where will China find such a wronged boss to save China's military industrial system?
Although the situation of the Iran-Iraq war has changed, on the whole it has not, and the cost is even greater than in history.
The war has only been fought for two years, and the weapons and ammunition reserves of the warring parties have not yet been completely depleted, and the foreign exchange has not yet been completely exhausted. Iraq's air forces were also involved in the fighting between the armoured clusters of both sides, which led to a major focus of the war on the port cities to the south.
At present, both sides are mobilizing troops to compete in the south, and all kinds of advanced weapons and equipment are concentrating in the south.
In the north, on the contrary, there was much less fighting.
The battlefield presents a strange phase of stalemate, with Iraq trying to capture the port of Mahshahr and the surrounding oil fields, while the Iranians, although they have not yet fully recaptured their territory, have begun to occupy Basra and the ports and oil fields in the south near the sea.
Before the storm, it was all quiet.
Saddam Hussein knew this very well.
And, say something you shouldn't say. Between countries, there is no eternal friendship, only eternal interests. Although this is not a good sound. But absolutely any country pursues it. So, in order to maintain the balance between the two of you, we will also export weapons if you need them! Liu Yijiutian said shamelessly.
If these words are passed back, the military bosses will definitely not admit it.
The government will definitely say that this is Liu Yijiu's young and ignorant words, and it is simply his personal remarks.
Truly. Liu Yijiu also stands on his personal standpoint, although he seeks national interests.
"So, what kind of weapons and equipment does the Iranian side import from China? Do you sell to us as well? Saddam Hussein was furious.
This is typical of eating people without spitting out bones.
The young man in front of him is really too hateful.
Especially the old bunch of people in China, in this matter, it is obviously for this purpose. actually let such a young man come out.
didn't wait for Liu Yijiu to answer. With a gloomy face, Saddam Hussein continued to ask Qi Hao, who was still in a sluggish state: "General Qi, is this the official attitude of your country?" ”
When Qi Hao heard this, he glared at Liu Yijiu fiercely, but the latter looked up at the ceiling disapprerovingly, and could only say helplessly: "General, this is just Comrade Liu Yijiu's personal remarks!" It does not represent the attitude of our government or the military. Moreover, our itinerary was not originally to Iraq, and it was Director Liu who forcibly changed the route......"
Although it is clear why Liu Yijiu said this. And there is also a little unhappiness in my heart, Liu Yijiu doesn't care about his identity and represents the country, but those who should lie must lie.
Liu Yijiu sang with a red face. Naturally, he has to sing white-faced.
Otherwise, if it spreads, it will cause great damage to the image that the entire government has maintained.
Such a shameless country, only the United States, and absolutely not a benevolent and righteous country like China can do it. Liu Yijiu's shamelessness is only for him personally, not for Chinese officials.
His casual remarks shocked Saddam.
Liu Yijiu's visit to Iraq was not approved by the Chinese government?
Saddam Hussein immediately looked at Qi Hao and asked in surprise, "In this case, your government did not approve you to come to our side at all?" ”
Qi Hao looked at Liu Yijiu and saw that he was signaling with his eyes, and suddenly understood in his heart, nodded, and replied gloomily: "That's true." Otherwise, we will be notified by our embassy when we get here, rather than through Saudi Arabia after we arrive in Saudi Arabia......"
When Kanram will arrive in Saudi Arabia, Qi Hao doesn't know at all.
He always thought that Khamlam appeared in Saudi Arabia after they ended the negotiations, but he never thought that when Liu Yijiu and Saudi King Fahd first began to negotiate, Khamlam appeared.
"Director Liu, if we place an order for tanks now, when will they be delivered? Could it be earlier than Iran's? Saddam Hussein didn't care about anything else, but directly asked Liu Yijiu when they would get the tanks if they signed the contract.
Liu Yijiu didn't expect that the change would be so fast.
He had prepared many of the words, but none of them had yet been uttered.
"General, if you are very anxious, as long as you add 10 percent of the expedited fee, we can spare part of our production capacity to provide you with Longwei tanks...... Liu Yijiu's ability to tell lies is now becoming more and more proficient.
Iran's new batch of tank orders was not given to China, but to Pakistan, which already has the production capacity of Longwei tanks.
After all, Pakistan has also spent a lot of money on the research and development of the Dragon Guard tank.
The key components still have to be made from China, and those are the main profits, Liu Yijiu naturally will not argue. Domestic orders, Pakistan's unfinished orders, and Saudi Arabia's huge orders, which will keep the 541 base busy.
Iraq wants, even if it is ranked, it will be a lot of years later.
Under such circumstances, Liu Yijiu naturally had to increase the price.
I am worried that if Saddam Hussein is forced to be ruthless, other weapons and equipment will not be easy to sell, so the price increase is not too outrageous.
It is normal for weapons and equipment that need to be expedited, and it is normal to increase the price, which is also an international practice.
"We need 200 Rymese 2 and 500 Ryonpo tanks!" Seeing the president staring at him, Kanlam, who had never been given the opportunity to speak, said to Liu Yijiu very proudly.
Liu Yijiu was happy in his heart, and when he spoke, he was stopped by Qi Hao.
Qi Hao said to Saddam: "General, I personally feel that there is no need for your side to purchase such a huge number of Dragon Guard tanks. In the current war, although the advanced weapons and equipment are very prominent, they are mainly used for attacking fortified positions...... I think you should equip some of the Dragons with more low-end tanks, with Dragons as the core, so that you can have more ferocious firepower when attacking, and at the same time, you can save a lot of money......"
Qi Hao's words made Saddam and Kanram a little entangled.
At the moment, they have received only a billion dollars in war loans from Saudi Arabia, and they have to deduct it from the oil that Saudi Arabia helps them transport.
The Kuwaiti royal family has always been a staunch supporter of Iraq in the Iran-Iraq war, and they will also be targeted if Khomeini's troops invade Iraq.
As for the excuse, it is enough simply that they are Iraq's biggest supporters of the war.
However, even so, Kuwait has already provided nearly $2 billion in support to Iraq, and more is not so easy.
At the beginning, Saddam's officers suggested that Iraq import a small number of Dragon Guard tanks from China, except for the Tikrit Division, which was equipped with a Dragon Guard regiment, and the others were mixed with T72, T64 and M1 and a large number of T54/55 groups. In this way, a combination of high, medium and low is formed, and although this requires a lot more logistical pressure on Iraq, it is not a problem.
The proposal of the commander of the 1st Armored Regiment of the Tikrit Division was to strengthen the logistics and intelligence system of the Iraqi army.
In this way, they will be able to integrate the panzer group and form a more powerful offensive firepower and defensive capability. The Dragon Guard 2 can be used for air defense, and when it comes to tank bombardment, their firepower will be much stronger.
Moreover, saving money is what Iraq is thinking about now.
Although they are not as good as the Saudi tyrants, the two-year war consumption has made their foreign exchange flow generally spent, and if the war continues, no matter how rich they are, they will not be able to support it.
In particular, in the first half of the year, after Iran resisted the Iraqi attack, it mobilized a huge number of troops and launched the 'Operation Victory' offensive, completely annihilating two Iraqi brigades, severely damaging two divisions, killing and wounding 25,000 Iraqi soldiers, capturing 15,000 prisoners, destroying 360 tanks, shooting down more than 20 aircraft, and capturing hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles.
Operation Victory pushed the front to the front line of Abadan, and finally because of the intensive missile bombardment of Iraq and the huge artillery force, the Iranian counteroffensive was blocked, and more fighters were mobilized to participate in the war on the southern front!
After two years of fighting, the war is no longer the original Iran-Iraq war, and the commanders of both sides are maximizing the potential of their respective armies.
Otherwise, Iran has already counter-offensive into Iraqi territory.
Iraq is ready for peace talks with Iran.
But Khomeini has always wanted to annex the Kurdish region, which has prevented Iraq from withdrawing. After all, the Iranian side does not accept the ceasefire agreement proposed by Iraq and is mobilizing troops to prepare for a counter-attack on Khorram-Shahr and a counter-attack on Basra.
When Liu Yijiu saw Saddam's reaction, he was immediately furious in his heart, Qi Hao was obviously demolishing his own platform! This is an order for 700 dragon guards, more than a billion dollars!
Qi Hao, in order to sell those backward tanks, actually sabotaged the transaction in this regard.
I want to get angry, but I can't! Immediately, his face was ugly and he was ready to continue listening.
Having such a pig teammate is definitely not something that he Liu Yijiu could think of.
"Moreover, you can use the saved money to purchase a batch of our latest armed transport helicopters, which perform much better than the Mi-24...... Qi Hao continued. (To be continued.) )
