752 Director Liu who threatened Saddam Hussein
Huge orders, the total contract amount of more than 2 billion US dollars, however, the Iraqi side proposed in terms of payment that all oil fields should be used as collateral!
Liu Yijiu already had an opinion on the Iraqi side, so naturally he would not agree with it.
"General, in the current world, there is absolutely no such precedent to follow. Even if I agree and see the potential for future development, we can't take such a risk at a time when you don't know how long the war with Iran will last, and we can't start production without the funds! Although the amount of the other party's order is not small, Liu Yijiu is not interested in it at all.
Although Iraq's oil fields are what he needs, at present, Iraq's crude oil is basically transported and exported through pipelines connected to Saudi Arabia.
"That's true, General, in principle, we can only accept about 20 percent of the payment for the goods as collateral from oil fields or oil. Otherwise, we will not approve exports domestically. These are all some advanced weapons and equipment...... "As for the price, the Iraqi side did not suppress it too much, in Saddam's idea, the oil fields are in their hands, and now many oil fields have been shut down because of the war."
The reason why Liu Yijiu is unwilling to use all the oil fields to pay for this batch of weapons and equipment is because he was ready to prevent Iran from launching a ship attack at the beginning, but now he has no such idea, Saddam Hussein now has the dual support of the United States and the Soviet Union, so naturally he will not take them seriously, these weapons and equipment, except for the Longwei tank. The others are ordinary weapons, but the price is generally not high.
The confidence that the Saudi side made him inflate was hit in Iraq!
Once Iran launched a ship attack. Iraq will also retaliate, and in the narrow Red Sea, oil tankers will be attacked by a large number of anti-ship missiles in the hands of Saudi Arabia, and they will invent the tactic of anti-aircraft missiles hitting oil tankers, which will prevent Iraqi oil from being transported to China.
"If that were the case, we wouldn't have been able to procure so much weaponry. We would like to express our deep gratitude for your presence. Director Liu. In this way, the number of Longwei tanks we have purchased from your country will remain unchanged, and other weapons and equipment will be lost......" Khamlam received Saddam's instructions. Said with a serious face.
Qi Hao didn't expect that the other party would use such means to force them.
I was immediately a little dissatisfied, but I didn't show it, but I wanted to fight for it.
didn't wait for Liu Yijiu to speak. He said to Khamlam, "General." If you feel pressured to pay cash, we can lower the payment ratio by a few ......"
"Lower? We also have no way to pay for some lowering. You know, we have been fighting a war with the evil Khomeini for two years, and in these two years countless weapons and ammunition have been consumed, just tanks, the loss of more than 600 units, and the loss of fighter planes is also quite a lot, and we need to replenish our air force equipment. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen the safety and protection of our oil tankers. If you agree, we can pay 20% in cash......"
Kalam's words. made Qi Hao a little desperate.
Before, they weren't.
When Liu Yijiu heard this, he immediately laughed, "General, I don't know that your country purchases weapons and equipment from the United States and the Soviet Union, and this is also the case?" Especially the United States, a lot of your crude oil is exported to the United States and NATO countries, will they agree to your country to pay for equipment with oil? We don't have much oil trade on either side. ”
Liu Yijiu's words are also reminding Qi Hao that he understands Saddam's thoughts very well.
Negotiations would have been much easier if they had agreed to an arms embargo on Iran and refused to sell weapons technology upgrades and technical support to Iran.
Iran now only has China as a source of weapons, and NATO countries have not yet resolved the issue of American hostages, and although they have not explicitly stated an embargo on Iran's weapons, they have not delivered weapons and equipment that should be delivered to Iran.
Many of Iran's conventional weapons come from Pakistan, and its heavy weapons come from China.
Iraq has weapons and equipment provided by the Soviet Union, and at the same time, the United States has also begun to provide weapons and equipment to them, which gives them more choices, and in terms of price, they are pressed hard enough, and at the same time, the conditions put forward are far more.
They don't need medium-range strategic missiles like Saudi Arabia, and Israel is far away from Iraq anyway, with Jordan's huge area in between.
"In addition, canceling other orders, I wonder how your government wants to pay for 500 Dragon Guard tanks? This is a total value of 1.1 billion dollars, which accounts for the general share of the entire contract, general, I wonder how your country is going to pay for it? Liu Yijiu's voice was cold.
If you don't want to talk about it, there's no need to talk about it.
200 Longwei 2, together with the supporting missiles, Liu Yijiu directly asked Iraq for 3.2 million US dollars, here is 640 million US dollars, 300 Longwei 1, the same asking price of 2.2 million US dollars, reached 660 million US dollars!
This price can be said to be the conscience price quoted by Director Liu. You must know that the Saudi tyrants bought naked cars without supporting missiles from Director Liu, all of which were $2.4 million! After all, there is a demand for the missiles that Saudi Arabia needs, and if eight missiles are configured, the final price may reach $3.4 million to $3.6 million per missile.
The Ronpo type is slightly taller than that of Iran.
After all, on the Iranian side, Pakistan also earns an intermediary fee from it.
Of course, this price is still slightly higher than that of the Iranian side.
Iran buys missiles separately from tanks.
"We can pay 50 percent of the cash for this, and the rest can be paid with the proceeds from the oil field." Kanram and Saddam Hussein glanced at each other, and when they saw that Liu Yijiu had changed his attitude, he couldn't help but slightly increase the proportion of cash payment.
The only weapons and equipment they need is the Dragon Guard tank, which they have no power to fight back and is extremely durable.
China's military industry is the only one that can come up with this thing.
"It must be paid in cash, and it must be paid at least 90%, and we can deliver it all within 14 months!" Liu Yijiu said coldly, ignoring Qi Hao, who was a little anxious and kept giving him a look.
"It can't be! Director Liu, if you can't accept our payment terms, we can only cut our orders...... "Saddam Hussein did not expect that China would be so strong now despite its lack of foreign exchange.
Although the huge orders received from its ally Saudi Arabia are not enough to change the fact that China's foreign exchange reserves are insufficient.
Qi Hao hurriedly interjected, afraid that Liu Yijiu's donkey would lose his temper, and finally the two sides broke up unhappily, and the whole order was completely yellow, "We can discuss this well......"
"What are you talking about? There is nothing negotiable. Longwei is our research and development, we produce, and now the orders have been lined up far away. Moreover, we are short of money in the Ninth Hospital, so naturally whoever gives the money and pays the price first, we will give priority to supplying whom! Liu Yijiu coldly interrupted Qi Hao's words.
There's nothing to talk about.
They sell weapons and equipment, and so far, they have not met such people.
Even the United States and the Soviet Union have to bow to him, Director Liu, let alone a little Saddam.
"Director Liu, I wonder if you would have such confidence if the missile deal between you and Saudi Arabia was known to the world?" Barzan, who had never spoken, asked Liu Yijiu with disdain.
Qi Hao was dumbfounded.
What are you afraid of!
Saudi Arabia's missile deal with China was originally top secret, but Saddam Hussein knew about it.
From the beginning, he felt that King Fahd was making a mistake, and he was reluctant to let Liu Yijiu go to the Iraqi side, and he was also worried about this problem.
Now Liu Yijiu and Iraq have made the relationship very stiff, and if the other side really leaks this, the whole deal will definitely not be so easy under the pressure of the United States and NATO countries.
However, Liu Yijiu ignored Barzan's threat, looked at Saddam Hussein coldly, and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. President, this is your final decision?" ”
Saddam Hussein did not expect that Liu Yijiu would be so calm and calm at such a time.
In his opinion, the reason why young people like Liu Yijiu have confidence is because they have obtained huge foreign exchange in cooperation with Saudi Arabia.
Now tell Liu Yijiu that it is very likely that they will not be able to get a cent of foreign exchange, but Qi Hao panicked, but Liu Yijiu was not calm at all.
"Director Liu, that's not what I meant......" Saddam Hussein was silent for a while before he said to Liu Yijiu.
"I will report this to the Saudis, perhaps, King Fahd, in his anger, will issue an order for domestic oil tankers to stop helping you transport crude oil. I wonder if without Saudi Arabia's transportation channel, will your country still have a source of foreign exchange? In addition, I heard that the Saudi royal family and the Kuwaiti royal family are related by marriage, and in addition, the Kuwaiti royal family has always been protected by Saudi Arabia? Liu Yijiu didn't care at all that Saddam would leak it, "I believe that once the slightest bit of news leaks out, Saudi Arabia's arms aid and financial assistance to Iraq and Kuwait's huge financial aid will be completely cut off!" ”
Hearing Liu Yijiu's words, even if Qi Hao was anxious in his heart, he was helpless.
It has reached such a situation that there is no way for the two sides to continue talks.
It's up to whose threat works.
Liu Yijiu's threat made Saddam Hussein and Khamlam change their faces at the same time.
Although the Soviet Union and the United States agreed to provide them with weapons and equipment, without funds, they would not have paid attention to them at all!
Iraq has very little foreign exchange reserves left, especially after purchasing a large number of Scud missiles from the Soviet Union, and a large amount of expenses have to rely on the support of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait! (To be continued.) )
