Knocking out the Iraqi army's chain of command is the best outcome.

It is a pity that in the absence of perfect battlefield intelligence acquisition capabilities, Li Lu does not even know where the front-line command of the Iraqi army is. He was also ill-prepared, and if he had brought a few radio personnel with him, he would have tried to find out where the Iraqi army's front-line headquarters were through radio contacts.

Shapur said happily, "Mr. Lee, first of all, thank you very much, on behalf of the Iranian people, to express my heartfelt thanks to the Military Advisory Group. Secondly, I will definitely deliver on my promise. What do you need? ”

There were just the two of them in the room, talking about things that couldn't be put on the table.

Li Lu said, "I just gave a new order to the armored battalion. The situation is more favorable to us, and I intend to expand the results. ”

"Really! That's great! Shapur stood up excitedly, "Mr. Li, I have great confidence in your tactical command ability!" ”

"I will adjust the plan according to the actual situation, and all in all, I hope to help you try to reverse the current unfavorable situation, at least to delay the overall offensive momentum of the Iraqi forces." ”

Shapur is grateful that for him and the Iranians he represents, the morale boost of the Iranian army is more important to him and the Iranians he represents, than to the tactical impact. And these are brought by the military advisory group that he does not trust very much, but only holds on to the last glimmer of hope.

Now, he no longer has the slightest suspicion about the military advisory group, and he even thinks that as long as Li Lu says it, he will definitely be able to do it.

Li Lu can basically confirm the fact that the energy represented by Shapur is huge, he has a lot of power, and he can call the shots in many things.

"Mr. Shapur, I'm afraid you're going to have to make additional orders." Li Lu took out a notebook and said, "My people have made statistics and analyzed the future trend of the war. Judging by the data, Iraq has more than twice as much main equipment as yours. In order to win, you must invest more in the main equipment, at least on par with the Iraqis. ”

Shapur nodded solemnly, "Yes, I have already submitted a report to the authorities before you come here, and we urgently need to replenish a large number of main equipment. After two years of fighting, the wear and tear of the main equipment has become more and more serious. Although our soldiers are not afraid of death, we must not allow our soldiers to use their flesh and blood against the Iraqi tanks. ”

He sighed suddenly, shook his head, and said, "But we don't have any money." We began to have a hard time getting loans from outside, and many countries imposed sanctions on us. We still want to trade oil for arms. ”

"But many of your oil fields have been shut down or reduced, and they are threatened by the Iraqi Air Force, so it is difficult to get into normal production at all. If there is no oil, how can you exchange it? Li Ludao.

Shapur said in a deep voice, "I need your help. ”

How bad the situation is, Shapur knows too well, what you can't get on the battlefield, you can't get anywhere else. If the Iraqi Air Force cannot be stopped, the oil-producing areas will always be under the threat of air strikes by the other side, and how can they produce normally.

Moreover, a small half of the oil-producing area where Ahvaz is located has fallen into the hands of the Iraqis. Shapur even thinks his conditions are too much! When the safety of the oil-producing areas cannot be guaranteed, how can people stop helping to restore production?

Give the oil field again?

I'm afraid that Li Lu won't ask for it anymore, because he can only bear the pressure of two oil fields, because he knows that the Iran-Iraq war will last for eight years! In other words, in the past eight years, he has no way to completely develop the two oil fields in his hands, and can only carry out small production.

"Mr. Li, what do you want us to do?" Shapur asked dryly.

Li Lu said, "You must replenish at least 500 tanks and the same number of armored vehicles and artillery." Of course, we can also provide equipment for the Air Force and Navy, but I don't know about the situation of these two services. In my opinion, the main battlefield is on land, and the replenishment of land equipment is the most critical. ”

After a pause, Li Lu thought for a moment and said, "Since the exploration and exploitation rights of the Irku oil area are already in my hands, if you are willing to hand over the operation rights of Khomeini Port to Red Star Company, maybe I can persuade the company's management to complete this additional order." ”

"Khomeini Port?" Shapur was taken by surprise.

He was merely surprised and not surprised, because the situation in the port of Khomeini at this time was not optimistic. Before the start of the war, the port of Khomeini had just completed its expansion, a large-scale expansion on the banks of the Dolak River northwest of the old port, with a wharf line more than five kilometers long and nearly thirty deep-water berths. All of a sudden, Khomeini Port has become the most modern and largest commercial port in Iran.

But!

As soon as it was completed, the Iran-Iraq war broke out.

The weakness of the geographical position of the port of Khomeini was immediately exposed, and the Iraqi air force only had to cross more than 300 kilometers to bomb the port of Khomeini. This is also the reason why the Anna, which was carrying the arms of the Red Star Company, was bombed not long after it entered the port.

During the war, the port of Khomeini was at its lowest point for Iran, and it was too far from the border. This large port in the west has not been able to play its full role at all, and its status is not as good as that of a small safe port in the south.

"Mr. Li, you landed from the port of Khomeini, you know what the situation is over there. You want the right to operate the port of Khomeini in order to transport crude oil out, right? This problem is not difficult to solve, but it is a war zone over there, and it will be difficult for the port of Khomeini to enter normal operation until the end of the war. Shapur said very matter-of-factly.

"The export of crude oil is only one aspect, I look at the future, and I think Khomeini Port has great potential for development in the future." For me, at least for ten years, the oil fields are not very attractive, you know, Iran and Iraq have my oil fields, and it will take twenty or thirty years to complete all the development. ”

Shapur nodded understandingly, "You think the port will make a lot of money in the future." I understand, from a businessman's point of view, there is nothing wrong with your choice. But I still want to remind you that we are engaged in an endless war with Iraq. It's hard to get the port of Khomeini back to normal operations anytime soon. ”

"That's where the risk lies. Doing business involves taking risks, and to a certain extent, greater risks mean greater returns. ”

Shapur said in a deep voice, "In principle, I agree to exchange the right to operate the port of Khomeini for arms, but there will be a strict limit on the number of years. I wonder if you can accept fifty years? ”

Li Lu really wants a ninety-nine year deadline, but it's not realistic. His bottom line is thirty years, entering the twenty-first century, when the situation is favorable to Huaxia enterprises, so there is no need to worry about renewing the contract.

Shapur said this, and Li Luma said, "Yes, I can accept it in fifty years." ”

"Let them talk about the specific details, I have to report to the top, and in addition to the purchase list, I'm afraid I have to add some equipment from the Navy and Air Force." Shapur said.

Li Lu said, "Then I'm afraid we still have to use crude oil as an auxiliary, you know that the Red Star Company does not produce naval and air force equipment for the time being, and we have to find another supplier." ”

After a moment's thought, Shapur said, "I have to ask." 2k reading network
