Chapter 520 Fifty years of operating rights for the port of Khomeini

The Iraqis soon discovered that their opponents were changing.

The armored battalion that crashed into the depths of their battlefield like the Monkey King is playing an increasingly uncomfortable role. So much so that the Iraqis suspect that the Iranians used Western mercenary units - the Iranians are not so powerful.

With the addition of military advisers, the armored battalion is no longer an ordinary Iranian unit when the military advisers are equipped at the company and platoon level. Basically, all combat orders are issued by military advisers, which is equivalent to adding another frame to the armored battalion, which is more efficient, sturdy, and strong.

Zhao Rongjun and Mai Guanghua are both excellent battalion and company-level tactical experts, and they don't know how many times they have played the tactics of four or two thousand pounds. Taking full advantage of the fast mobility and strong assault capabilities of the armored forces, in just three days, they had already broken up the supply lines of the Iraqis.

In the process, Li Lu instructed them to guide the commander of the armored battalion to focus on the reliable performance of the Asian Tiger tank and the Type 63 armored transport vehicle in the report submitted. All in all, it is precisely because of these reliable and powerful equipment that they are able to constantly achieve victory.

This is a high-intensity "product combat test" with real knives and guns.

Encouraged by this, the Iranian Air Force made every effort to block the Iraqi Air Force's attack on the armored battalion and buy more time for the armored battalion.

During this period, as the head of the military advisory group, Li Lu constantly provided operational advice to the Iranian front-line command, and in many cases simply designated the battle plan to the Iranian front-line command for reference. Over time, Ahvaz's forces were greatly strengthened, and the Iraqis lost their best chance to take Ahvaz.

The Iranians began to mobilize their forces and organize forces for a counteroffensive.

At this time, Li Lu had to seriously weigh and consider where the strength of the counteroffensive should go to best serve the interests of Red Star.

For humanitarian reasons, in the end, it is desirable that the warring parties suffer as few casualties as possible, and that it is better to lose as many weapons and equipment as possible. In the current international environment, it is difficult for the warring parties to obtain arms from other countries, and both countries have even begun to consider importing arms from North Korea. One can imagine how difficult the international environment is for them.

In other words, apart from Red Star, there is no second party that can provide a large number of arms with the most complete variety, the most price, and the most timely firefight.

The more they lose, the more orders Red Star gets.

How many Middle Easterners have died, and does it have anything to do with Li Lu?

Therefore, he served as the head of the military advisory group, and the general principle was unspeakable.

Shapur's request was quickly approved, and Li Lu knew without asking that the person who approved it was definitely a super heavyweight, because Shapur's power was already terrifying. As the head of an enterprise, Shapur was able to receive a direct command of the front-line troops, which speaks volumes.

The capabilities shown by the military advisory group made Shapur very satisfied. At the very least, as soon as the military advisory group made a move, it directly solved the crisis in Ahvaz City. It was an impending disaster that would make the top brass of the Iranian army unable to eat or sleep, and the whole of Iran would be in great sorrow!

Nothing is more convincing than an ironclad fact.

In the end, roughly speaking, an agreement was reached between the Iranian Puda company and the Red Star Overseas company. Iran's Puda Company exchanged the right to operate the port of Khomeini for 50 years for a total of 500 Asian Tiger tanks, as well as supporting ammunition, logistics equipment, and 500 armored transport vehicles, and demanded that the delivery be completed within two years.

It's a deal that both parties think is worth it.

A total of 1,000 tanks and armored vehicles are enough to fill most of the gaps in the armored forces of the Iranian army, and deliveries can be completed within two years, with the exception of Red Star. Unless the United States and the Soviet Union sell their tanks and armored vehicles in service to Iran, which is impossible.

Of course, Red Star Overseas Company is only a subject that has been pushed to the front, and the final transaction party can only be Red Star Industrial Corporation. To put it bluntly, Red Star Overseas Company is an enterprise registered in Singapore by Li Lu in order to facilitate overseas operations.

Li Lu did not dare to sign immediately, but first took a long telegram back to China, and instructed the country to organize the supply of goods according to the list in code, and first determine whether the delivery could be completed within two years. Without this basic condition, everything else is empty talk.

Within a few days, the country replied that the main problem was the production of the Asian Tiger tank, and with the second and third workshops put into production, the production capacity of the Asian Tiger tank has tripled, and the order of 500 units will be completed in two years with at least 70 percent certainty.

That's enough.

Half of the grasp of Li Lu will dare to stud, let alone 70%.

He has a back-up trick - most of them let the First Machinery Factory OEM a part, and they are absolutely willing to make some foreign exchange!

After signing the agreement, Li Lu began to devote himself to the role of the head of the military adviser. After the armored battalion had achieved a seven-day assault in depth, he ordered the troops that had made great achievements to withdraw, and immediately began to suggest that the Iranian army carry out a comprehensive adjustment of forces, deploy a plate of scattered troops, and slowly organize them into three heavy groups and form a mobile armored column with 120 tanks and armored vehicles on the basis of the armored battalion.

He calculated that the logistical supply capacity of the Iranian army, which supports the mobile operations of one hundred and twenty tanks and armored vehicles, is already the limit. That is, no matter how many tanks and armored vehicles there are, there is no point in it, because your logistical support system cannot support it.

His tactics were very simple, giving up the territorial contention, concentrating superior forces to destroy the opponent's troops, and the main thing was to destroy as many opponents' weapons and equipment as possible. It took Li Lu a lot of words to convince Shapur, because for Shapur, every inch of land and every inch of blood cannot be compromised. But in the end, Li Lu convinced him that the most favorable reason was that Tehran had a central mountain range as a barrier, which would at least ensure that the area north and east of Ahvaz would not be affected by the fighting.

Based on his trust in the Military Advisory Group, Shapur agreed to this massive adjustment plan. It takes a lot of time to adjust the deployment of such a large number of troops, and the armored battalion happens to be the unit that has fought at this time, so it has made a great contribution.

However, in Li Lu's view, it will take at least a week for the Iranian forces to complete the readjustment of their forces according to his request.

How can we get this week's time?
