Chapter 183: The Balance of Weapons

PS: Fourth update

The first principle of arms sales is that a good arms dealer can sell his weapons to both sides of the war without hesitation, such as selling tanks to the rich side and anti-tank weapons to the party without money. Of course, the prerequisite for receiving benefits from both parties is that you are strong enough or smart enough, otherwise you will wait for their crazy revenge.

So when Albert was talking to Zubin? While Singh was talking about buying two F4 Phantom fighter jets and transferring a fleet of Mustang fighters in active service, a transatlantic phone call from Belgium temporarily interrupted his discussions with Indian representatives.

"Are you saying that representatives from Pakistan came to me to discuss a batch of arms business?" Hearing the "good news" that Barlow brought to him, Albert was obviously not happy.

"Yes." Barlow excitedly replied, "They hope to purchase a batch of RPG-7 rockets and pickup trucks in our company to deal with India's armored forces." ”

Pakistan is still as short of money as expected. Albert lamented that it is good to have an arms business, but another problem is in front of Albert, the United States supports the Indian government, and Britain hopes to play the role of an offshore balancer between India and Pakistan, so Albert must think clearly about what will happen if he agrees to sell weapons to both sides. Britain had already offended him once, and Albert was not worried about stealing business with him and offending him again. But the United States is different, as the disguised executor of the Albert Plan, he must be firmly attached to the body of the United States like a greedy blood-sucking lice, absorbing his essence and turning it into his own use.

"I'm not very free right now. You hold them off first, and I'll call you back later. Before Barlow could finish speaking, Albert hung up the phone in a hurry.

"Eye of the sky. Tianyan, are you still there? Albert thought about it for a long time, but he really didn't know how to choose, so he decided to summon the Eye of Heaven to listen to his opinion.

"Of course I'm here." Suddenly the Eye of Heaven no longer looked like a terrifying green ghost, but took on the form of a grown man, who stood in front of Albert and sneered in a magnetic voice. "What's wrong? Have you played with fire again? Let me tell you that luck will always run out one day, and there will be a moment when misfortune will come, and now I have no scruples about doing so many things that harm others and benefit myself. Aren't you worried that someone will be settled one day in the future? ”

"I will talk about the future in the future, even the French Emperor Louis XV said that you should enjoy yourself in time during your lifetime, and you should not care about the flood after death. Now I've got to make enough money. Albert's skills are even helpless against him.

Albert told Tianyan in detail about the situation he is facing, which is nothing more than that war is originally a place for profiteering. But he was again worried about the sale of the RPG-7 to the Pakistani government. It is estimated that the tanks sold to India by Britain and the United States will cause a diplomatic crisis and so on.

After listening to Albert's words, Tianyan suddenly asked him a question, "Why do you think the United States sold five weapons to India, and why did Britain sell them to Pakistan?" ”

"What else can I hope that the forces I support can win the war." Albert pouted, throwing an obvious answer to the eye of the sky. However, what Tianyan said made Albert fall into deep thought.

"Have you ever thought about selling weapons to both sides, in fact, so that they both lose. Even a victory would be a painful Pyrrhian victory. so that Britain and the United States can take the opportunity to control both India and Pakistan. In this way, even if India and Pakistan are no longer British colonies, Britain and the United States can still exert their own influence. ”

"You mean they want both sides to fight you to the death, do you? The scales of real weapons will never be tilted in favor of either side. Albert patted his head. Instantly understood. In fact, as long as he hugs the thigh of the United States tightly, no matter how Britain attacks him, the other party is helpless. However, in view of the American tradition of pit the little brother, Albert still secretly kept an extra hand behind his back.

After being enlightened by the Eye of the Sky, Albert returned to the negotiating table. Zubin? Singh was waiting for Albert's final reply, but Albert was not in a hurry to sign a contract with him, but talked about something else.

"I'm sorry, I just went out to answer a phone call and heard something very interesting." Albert began his lying show again, "According to the latest information obtained by our intelligence services, the British are now making a deal with Pakistan by selling them a batch of anti-tank rockets to the Pakistanis. As your faithful friend, I think I should tell you about it. And Pakistan is likely to adopt a pre-emptive strategy for the sake of Kuranzien's oil. ”

Zubin? Singh was stunned, he didn't expect such a thing. However, during the period of hostility between India and Pakistan, the big countries sold all kinds of obsolete equipment or experimental weapons to the small countries they supported, and of course they did not want to be hot-headed and sell their killer weapons.

"Your Highness Albert, you are truly a faithful friend of the people of India." Zubin? Singh burst into tears of emotion.

"By the way, I also have a tank armor upgrade and modification attachment in my hand, which can be sold to you at a good price. I would like to ask what are the tanks in India now? "In Albert's impression, because the Indian Army is not a key project of national defense construction, their main battle tanks have always been very messy, from their own brand Shengli to Arjun, and even Maozi's T90 and T72.

"We have some British Centurion tanks and some American Sherman tanks, but they don't add up to much, just over a hundred and fifty tanks." Zubin replied honestly. India's strength can even be described as garbage in the eyes of Argentina.

Albert heard it right, a huge country has only more than 150 tanks, which is not quite in line with the historical strength of India. However, although the sparrow is small, it is meat, and more than 150 tanks are also money. So Albert and Zubin? "Generally speaking, anti-vehicle munitions usually use shaped charge warheads, so the best way to protect this type of weapon is to destroy its explosive effect, make it detonate prematurely, and destroy its armor-piercing effect. RPG rockets detonate instantly when they hit a fence, but they don't do as much damage as a single bullet. And the main thing is that this fence armor is very cheap, and even if it is damaged, it will not be distressed. ”

"So this simple and durable protective armor can be trusted." Albert took all the data he had tested to Zubin? Singh looked at it, and after reading it, the other party patted his thigh and said, "That's it, in addition to the F4 ghost and Mustang fighters, I also ask His Highness Albert to provide a batch of such armor for our tanks." ”

"Of course there is no problem." Albert said with a smile on his lips. What I thought was that after Ah San left, he would do business with the Pakistanis. (To be continued......)
