Chapter 626: The Traps Don't Stop There
This time, the bomber group was defeated from Iraq, and only one of them escaped back, which naturally dealt a heavy blow to those who thought that they had a good fortune with advanced weapons, and also deterred the stupid United States in a certain way.
This goal was achieved, and Guo Zhuocheng also got another unexpected purpose, that is, to obtain the wreckage of the American F5 and F6 fighters, which is difficult to buy from the United States no matter how much money is spent. Even in previous lives, China did not get the technology for these two fighters.
Seeing that Guo Zhuocheng didn't speak for a long time, Wudai asked anxiously: "Guo, isn't one army enough?" โ
Guo Zhuocheng came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "Enough, enough,......, but...... But there were too few tank divisions. How many tanks are there in a tank division? โ
Uday sneered at Guo Zhuocheng and asked, "Hehe, are you worried that your tanks won't sell?" โ
Guo Shucheng nodded and admitted, "Yes." There are only a few hundred tanks in one tank division, and it simply cannot digest so many of our tanks. โ
Then, he smiled and said, "Hehe, just kidding, I'm really here to help you this time, so that Your Highness can achieve greater feats." The stronger the power in the hands of His Highness, the greater the combat achievements in the future. As for the tanks, I can put them aside today and sell as many tanks as I can, because this time the superiors did not give me any task in this regard, but only asked me to deepen my relationship with His Highness. This time, I am here purely for friendship and to thank His Highness for always remembering me and our country. ......, Your Highness must also know that now it is not only Iraq that wants to buy tanks, but Iran is also buying tanks. Our military factories are too busy. โ
Although Guo Zhuocheng emphasized that he was not trying to sell tanks, Uday still disagreed, and always felt that Guo Zhuocheng's purpose was to make money.
Seeing that Wudai didn't believe it, Guo Zhuocheng had to lament that his image was too bad, and he became a jiฤn merchant in the eyes of others. He had to come up with another trick and said, "Your Highness Uday, how about we make another bet this time?" โ
Uday himself likes to gamble, and remembered that he gambled with Guo Zhuocheng last time and made a lot of money, so he hurriedly suppressed his excitement and asked, "Great, how to gamble?" โ
He doesn't care about Guo Zhuocheng's earnings: it is cost-effective to gamble his private military exploits with the state's money.
Guo Shucheng smiled and said, "It's the same as last time." I will send His Highness a batch of weapons, and His Highness only needs to pay one-tenth of the price of the weapons first. The way of gambling is the same, if Your Highness does not achieve world-renowned military achievements this time, or if Your Highness is not supported and admired by the whole Iraqi people, the rest of our tanks will not be needed, and will be given to Your Highness at a tenth price. โ
Wudai remembered that Guo Zhuocheng was going to take an order of 5.6 billion US dollars last time, and his heart beat a little drum, and asked, "How big is the amount this time?" โ
Although I was very excited, I still had to ask about the total, it was too big, and my father Saddam Hussein didn't know if he would agree. You must know that in the past, the country was rich and had a lot of foreign exchange reserves. Although $6.5 billion is a bit nerve-wracking, it is barely manageable. But now that the treasury has been empty after such a long war, it is not easy to get another billion dollars.
As for what Guo Zhuocheng said "only" and "send", he ignored them all, and felt that Guo Zhuocheng was a bitch and a memorial arch.
Without waiting for Guo to answer, he asked again: "If it is successful, how much money will we pay for the order?" ......, we don't have much money right now. โ
Although he still couldn't help but say the last sentence, he was worried that Guo Zhuocheng would be unhappy when he heard this, so he patted his ass and stopped doing it, so the gaze in his eyes was hot and a little timid.
Guo Shucheng said: "This time, I gave His Highness 1,000 tanks, according to 600,000 US dollars each, that is, 600 million US dollars, plus those armored personnel carriers, self-propelled guns and so on, 10 percent is only more than 70 million US dollars, this is not much, right?" โฆโฆ If His Highness is really embarrassed, then we will make a bet this time. I have come to deepen my friendship, and I must not embarrass Your Highness. โ
Uday couldn't help but be stunned at first, and his heart couldn't stop beating wildly, but after listening to Guo Zhuocheng's words, he hurriedly said: "Not much, not much." "He didn't want to lose the opportunity to win the battle because of money. He even asked worriedly, "Is the battle merit really great?" โ
Guo Shucheng smiled: "Of course, the battle merits are great. โฆโฆ By the way, if Your Highness achieves great military success this time, we only need your country to pay the remaining 90 percent, and we will not ask your country to buy more weapons. The requirement is simple, right? Hehe. โ
When Uday heard about such "preferential" conditions, he was a little unconvinced, although the price of this tank was still very high. Especially hearing his laughter, he didn't believe that this little jiฤn merchant was so good at talking.
He said embarrassedly: "Guo, can you say the conditions that you didn't say at once, as long as it's not too harsh, I think we can make a deal." โ
To Uday is not completely stupid, Guo Zhuocheng touched his face embarrassedly, and said: "It's just that this time the tank is a little old, it's really a little embarrassing." I think so, anyway, the average life of a tank on the battlefield is less than three weeks, although our tank is old, but there is no problem at all to cope with three weeks, and it can definitely be used for more than three months in a row. โ
Uday's face also turned red, although Guo Shucheng's words did not mean sarcasm, but he was still very embarrassed to hear it: the current Iraqi army is similar to the transport brigade, hundreds of tanks rushed up, either destroyed by Iranian weapons or captured by the Iranian army.
Since the beginning of the war, Iraq has lost more than 2,000 tanks, more than 800 of which have been turned into Iranian vehicles, which Iranian soldiers drive in turn to fight Iraqi troops. If calculated by the life of the battlefield, the average life of the Iraqi army's tanks is really less than three weeks, and some of them were taken away by others as soon as they entered the battlefield.
Uday said curtly: "As long as you can fight." ......, you can't move, right? โ
Guo Zhuocheng immediately said: "It is absolutely impossible to give you what you can't use." China and your country are friendly countries, so how can we give you tanks that you can't drive? In fact, the leaders of our country are firmly opposed to me exporting these tanks to you, saying that there is no need for more tanks in your current situation, you just need to hold your own borders. But I think it's better to have a batch of tanks, at least more securely. Besides, if the defense line of the Iranian army is torn apart in the future, tanks will still be needed to pursue it. โ
Uday was already attracted by the exploits, patted his chest and said: "As long as it can be started and can fire shรจ shells, we promise to receive it." You...... You don't have anything else to ask for? โ
Guo Shucheng said: "Hey, if I don't make some requests, Your Highness won't believe me." Then Your Highness will give us a piece of land to exploit oil, and as for the distribution of profits, taxes, etc., we can be like other countries, not taking advantage of you, but hoping that this area will be slightly larger and as close to the sea as possible. โ
Uday was not surprised by Guo Zhuocheng's proposal to exploit oil in the region, after all, Iraq can only attract foreign countries, and only underground crude oil can attract foreign countries, but to make this area close to the sea, this makes Uday a little difficult, because Iraq itself has few outlets to the sea, only about 50 kilometers of coastline.
Uday was still young, and he didn't have the belly of a politician in his heart, so he couldn't agree to Guo Shucheng's request, so he felt a little embarrassed, and said curtly: "The seaside area is really gone." Otherwise, we can enlarge the area a little more, relax the mining period, and give a little more preferential taxes. โ
Guo Shucheng said: "I am deeply grateful for His Highness's generosity. However, I do not accept tax incentives. โ
Uday was stunned for a moment and asked, "Don't accept tax incentives?" Is this long-term? In his mind, Guo Zhuocheng is definitely a person who sees money, as long as there are benefits, there is nothing that he does not strive for. Not to mention the rejection of the benefits that will be sent to the door, many times it is my own mouth to ask, what is going on today?
Guo Zhuocheng smiled and said: "Your Highness is my friend, since we are friends, of course I hope that Your Highness and His Highness's country can be benefited." We in China also very much hope that your country can develop rapidly. If our country can get preferential tax treatment, other countries will follow suit in the future, and in this way, not only will Your Highness be embarrassed, but your Highness's reputation will be damaged, and your country's income will be reduced considerably. We don't want Your Highness to be blamed by others for this. Although this possibility is very small, after all, His Highness's wisdom and decisiveness have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but it is better not to take risks if you can not take risks. โ
Guo Zhuocheng didn't say it, Wudai may just be suspicious, the more Guo Zhuocheng said, the more he thought about him, the more he couldn't believe Guo Zhuocheng's sincerity, and the more he thought that Guo Zhuocheng was digging a trap for him to jump.
It is possible that a greedy wolf does not eat a lamb, but it is too slim. He hurriedly said: "I appreciate Mr. Guo's kindness, and I appreciate your country."
FU sincerely helped us and we are very grateful. But,......, but, Mr. Guo, can you tell me your true intentions? You Chinese a jiฤn cunning...... A very smart people, I can't understand the meaning behind it for a while. โ
Guo Shucheng was speechless for a while, and then said for a long time: "Okay." Since His Highness has said so, then I will be open and honest about my request. โ
Uday breathed a sigh of relief, and was also proud of the accuracy of his judgment, and said in his heart: I knew that you would not be so good, how could a wolf not eat sheep?
His eyes were blazing at Guo Zhuocheng.
