Chapter 583: It's done
Both of them were stunned by the number "two thousand", and they were even more amused by the statement that "it must not be exceeded".
Saddam Hussein sneered in his heart: You think that such a huge number is just drawing numbers on paper. ......Hum! We were also given a limit that we could buy 1,000 and we would reach the top.
The Minister of Defense, who did not dare to interject, also sarcastically sneered at the Chinese ambassador: Ya, you want to go crazy for money?
If China had not been Iraq's traditional friendly country, if it had not been for Iraq's elimination of China's support in the Security Council, and if it had not been for Iraq's preparations to take action against Iran, Saddam Hussein would have immediately driven out his people and ordered the guards to expel the Chinese ambassador immediately.
At this time, he smiled and said, "Your Excellency, are you talking too big?" It seems that we in Iraq do not need to purchase so many tanks? Two Thousand Cars Chapter 5
The completion is at least the equipment of five tank divisions. To deal with Iran, do we need it? β
The ambassador also smiled and said: "Your Excellency, if Iran does not mobilize the whole people, if Iran does not form a new tank division, if someone in your country does not attack from behind, it seems that six more tank divisions on the basis of the existing tank divisions will be enough." However, if this is not the case, and the situation is different from what you expected, not to mention that it is not enough to equip five new tank divisions, it is not enough to equip ten more tank divisions, and at least fifteen tank divisions need to be equipped.
I would like to remind you that the war must take into account the enormous war attrition, and must take into account the rapid arming of the enemy. Once war breaks out, no country will sit idly by, and if your country is to gain an overwhelming advantage, it must maintain its superiority after considering these circumstances. β
In his previous life, Saddam Hussein launched a blitzkrieg against Iran. But it's hard to flash in after a year. And it was quickly resisted by Iran, and it could not advance or retreat.
Saddam Hussein quickly grasped the suspicion in the ambassador's words and couldn't help but be angry, but he suppressed his feelings and asked: "Your Excellency, are you hinting that your country will also sell weapons to Iran?" β
To his surprise, the ambassador nodded, "Chapter 5."
There's no doubt about it. Although this is not good news for your country, I am sure that the wise Mr. President will understand our behavior. β
Saddam Hussein's face was gloomy and he said: "Could you please explain why I can understand the behavior of your country on both sides?" If you do. What is the difference with the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries? β
The ambassador calmly said: "My country and your country are friendly countries, but in the same way, my country and Iran are also friendly countries. Although the war between your country and Iran has not yet broken out, as long as it is not a fool. Everyone can find the existence of this trend. Although your country has done a good job of secrecy, there are still many clues to be found. Of course, even if war does not break out, the military confrontation between the two countries is certain. How can Iran, as a major power in the Middle East, sit idly by and ignore the imminent war that destroys itself? How is it possible not to speed up the pace of strengthening the army? Your Excellency the President, you don't think they are really stupid? β
When the ambassador spoke, Hu Jianshan, who was next to him, felt ashamed in his heart, feeling that the fool the ambassador said was β‘that he had run back to China a few days ago to report on the analysis that there would be no war between Iraq and Iran. Now that Saddam Hussein reacted, he was convinced that war was imminent. It's just about to be ordered by the president in front of me.
He felt strange in his heart: "How did that young man in China know?" And so sure we have the opportunity to blackmail Saddam? β
The ambassador continued: "Here, I have to reveal the secret, the Iranian side has taken the initiative to contact our country and has already put forward a preliminary intention to purchase our weapons. We have not yet responded to this question. The reasons for this are twofold, the first of course, taking into account the traditional friendship between our country and your country, which is beyond doubt. Although Iran did not say that the purchase of tanks was aimed at your country, most likely against the Soviet army on the border with Afghanistan to the east of Chenbing, and the arrival of our tanks in the hands of the Iranian army would help to eliminate the threat posed by the Soviet Union to our borders, but they may not be used against your country in the future, so we feel it is necessary to inform your country. I would like to thank your country, and in particular Mr. President, for your support and understanding for my country over the past years.
Secondly, it is well known that the Iranian government has only recently come to power, and they do not have much cash on hand and want to buy tanks and other weapons for our country. Most of the weapons and equipment can only be pledged with crude oil. And China is now also an oil exporter, and it is not very thirsty for crude oil. If we meet their requirements. Then we have too little money to have. Presumably, Mr. President also knows that China is now undergoing reform and opening up, and is undergoing enterprise transformation, and it is not a pet for funds.
On the contrary, under the leadership of a wise president, your country has a very good economy, with foreign exchange reserves of up to $40 billion and sufficient cash payment capacity. It cannot be denied that an important reason why China is willing to take huge political risks in selling weapons and equipment to your country is that it can obtain a part of the funds to facilitate China's reform and opening up. β
Saddam Hussein laughed instead of being angry: "So Mr. Ambassador went to my country's $40 billion? Do you have to take it all to be willing? β
The ambassador said unhurriedly: "Actually, this economic account is very easy to calculate, if Iran procures 100 tanks, your country must purchase 300 tanks in order to gain an overwhelming advantage." Our tanks are limited, if your country purchases more, Iran is bound to purchase less, if your country purchases all our tanks, where can Iran get tanks?
The USSR could not have given them, that was to help Iran against itself. It is impossible for the United States to give them for the time being, because the impact of the American hostage incident they have created has not yet been eliminated. Now that Iran hates the United States to the core, why doesn't the United States hate Iran to the core? It can be said that if you buy one more from our country now, Iran will have one less, which is equivalent to reducing the amount of money you will pay three times in the future. β
Saddam Hussein was silent for a while, and then suddenly changed the topic: "This is the first time I have come to your ambassador to talk about trade issues, and the first time I have seen a high-ranking official of your country speak so eloquently for money, if Your Excellency does not speak Chinese, if Your Excellency is not a yellow race, I would really think that it is an American or a French sitting in front of me." Is your country really going to become a capitalist country? β
The ambassador smiled and said, "Mr. President may have misunderstood. In fact, socialist countries should also do the same to trade and develop production. Isn't the occupation of the waters at the mouth of the Abadan and Shatt al-Arab rivers, as in your country, to increase the area of land for agricultural production? Isn't it just to add more and better ports to the sea? β
Unexpectedly, the other party even knew his initial strategic goals, and Saddam Hussein glanced at the defense minister a little speechlessly.
The Minister of Defense asked depressedly: "How many tanks does your country want to sell us?" β
People are also smart people, as soon as they know that the Chinese are digging pits, they simply ask you directly how much you want us to accept. Now is the critical time before the war, if the Chinese really play ghosts, then small Iraq will not be able to eat and walk around. As long as China reveals Iraq's strategic objectives to Iran, what else will Iraq play? At least the planned blitzkrieg turned into a storm, and more than the money for the purchase of tanks was lost.
Both the defense minister and Saddam Hussein were scolding in their hearts: "All countries are devils!" It's all Satan! β
There was almost a hint of embarrassment on the face of the Chinese ambassador, but the diplomat was a diplomat after all, and he quickly painted his face with a thicker layer, and naturally smiled: "In order to deepen the traditional friendship between our two countries, we are willing to overcome a single difficulty and provide you with a allowance of 2,500 vehicles regardless of the laws of other countries." After saying that, the ambassador's heart was pounding, and while scolding himself for being shameless, he quietly paid attention to the face of Saddam's classmate.
No way, the Chinese have always been not good at words, only like to say words of friendship, and now he has been pushed to the forefront of the wind by Guo Chengcheng, and he has to be a profiteer once.
He himself wanted to scold himself for being shameless, and he even shamelessly said "allowable amount," as if Iraq was begging us to sell it.
However, this is not wrong, the coercion and inducement of the ambassador just now did work, and it did make Iraq more demanding of China than before.
"One and a half billion dollars...... That's how much money is needed here, and we really ...... where we spend our money."
This number is also very nervous about the Chinese ambassador's classmates, who have never been exposed to such a large number.
Because he was not born again, he had no idea how much money Iraq had spent on the war in its previous life: before the war broke out on September 22, 90, Iraq had $40 billion in foreign exchange reserves. After the war was fought, not to mention the 40 billion yuan used, it still owed 10 billion in debt, not to mention that Iraq went all out to produce in this year. $1.5 billion is now a huge amount and is actually nothing worth mentioning compared to the entire war expenditure in Iraq.
In the previous life, Iraq's weapons were mainly purchased from the Soviet Union, followed by France and the United States. Although China has sold a lot of money, made a lot of money, and is happy to make so much money, it is the sigh of people standing in that era when there is no money. If it was placed in a previous life, that amount of money was really not much.
At that time, China's foreign exchange reserves were pitiful. Ninety years ago, China's foreign exchange reserves were below $1 billion for a long time, and 90 even owed $1.3 billion. It was not until 9 years that China's foreign exchange reserves reached 5 billion US dollars, 2.2 billion in 99, and 5.6 billion in 994, showing a trend of rapid growth, and later simply became the world's first.
Guo Zhuocheng now takes the initiative to attack the purpose of selling tanks, first, by the run of domestic manufacturers, can not stand the leaders of those manufacturers to ask for money again and again, and in this life under his role to produce a lot of tanks than in the previous life, the inventory is indeed far beyond the previous life, not to sell it earlier, so he has to exchange the tanks for money earlier, so that everyone can rest assured earlier, he can also carry out his own work earlier.
