Chapter 172: The Arms Showroom
Chapter 172: The Arms Gallery
The moment Najib stepped into the hall, his eyes widened
Look around.
The entire exhibition hall is the size of three or four football fields, and in such a huge hall, the exhibits are all arms!
"Oh, Allah, what have I seen!" Najib exclaimed in his heart. "On the long display case hundreds of meters long, all kinds of pistols, rifles, machine guns, sniper rifles and ...... are neatly placed"
There are different forms of grenades, all kinds of mén, rows and rows.
Hand grenade.
Mine.
Bazooka.
……
Armored vehicles, cannons, howitzers, tanks, helicopters, fighter jets......
"O Allah, missiles! It's so big, it must be an intercontinental missile, oh, these mysterious Orientals actually made an intercontinental missile, do they really dare to sell it? At this point, Najib's heart was out of control, and the "poof, poof, poof" was beating.
Long-range ballistic missiles have always been Iran's demands, but unfortunately they have been subject to an international arms embargo and limited by their own technology, and Iran's missiles have never exceeded 3,000 kilometers in range.
Right now.
Suddenly, Najib saw an intercontinental missile from an arms dealer that fascinated Iran. It's no wonder if you're not excited!
……
“……”
On the sidelines, the cockroach watched Najib's performance with satisfaction, this is the result he wants, and what Najib sees and hears here here is sure to arouse Iran's interest.
Then.
Cockroaches don't worry about the business of the dark star!
"Mr. Cockroach, this ...... ...... here" Najib was a little incoherent with excitement, unable to speak. "These guys...... Are they all sold? ”
The cockroach smiled and nodded, and said secretly, "Nonsense, don't sell it, can I take it out and show it off?" "Now, the dark star is self-reliant, and Xiao Tian's Galaxy Group will no longer use funds to fill the hole, so Silver Fox, Cockroach and others have to dig out their hearts to sell arms and earn extra money.
Moreover.
Before Colonel Najib's arrival, Xiao Tian also called, with the simple meaning of selling arms to Iran and reducing the pressure on the Afghan theater of operations.
"Colonel Najib, this is the weapons exhibition hall of the dark star, it can be said that in addition to naval ships, it includes all kinds of light and heavy weapons......" The cockroach led Najib and walked slowly along the rifle display case on the left side of the exhibition hall, and at the same time, enthusiastically introduced the situation in the exhibition hall.
But.
Obviously, Colonel Najib's mind was not on these guns, as can be seen from his eyes glancing in the direction of the exhibition hall of fighter jets and missiles.
“……”
The cockroach smiled, not seeming to see Najib's urgency, and still slowly introduced. He also understands that it is difficult to sell ordinary standard rifles to Iran!
After all.
This produces guns with low technology, and Iran is self-sufficient, without the need for prosthetic hands.
Najib is not interested in guns, and it is reasonable, not to mention, cockroaches don't mind these little things, an ordinary AK-47 is only a few hundred dollars, even if it is an improved AK, Xiao Tian, a Jian businessman, sells for tens of thousands of dollars, but the profit in the middle is far worse than missiles and fighters.
So.
What cockroaches need to focus on selling, not gadgets like assault rifles and machine guns, but tanks, helicopters, fighter jets, and even bombers!
"Colonel Najib, are you interested in visiting our armored vehicles?"
"Of course," Najib gladly replied, the Iranian Air Force is weak, the ground armored forces are not much better, and the main battle tank is still an early model of T72, which is far from the main battle tank of European and American countries.
"Please."
……
As an Air Force officer, Colonel Najib has limited knowledge about the equipment of the 6th Army, so when the cockroach introduced infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers, Najib reacted coldly, for the simple reason that he didn't understand!
But.
Najib still knows a little about the main battle tank, so whenever the cockroach talks about a main battle tank, Najib's heart seems to have been hit hard by a hammer, and he keeps combsp; "Damn, what a person! American-made M1ASEP Abrams main battle tank, German Leopard 2A6, Japanese Type 9O, British Challenger 2, Sè Merkava Type 4, Russian T9OS...... Allah, this small golden triangle actually includes the main battle tanks of all countries in the world, who is behind them? ”
Najib's mind is fluttering, he doesn't understand tanks, but he understands the equipment of Iran's 6th Army, so if President Ahmadinejad learns that there are tanks he desperately needs, he will definitely not skimp on the dollars in his hand.
"It's really bang!"
Najib praised without hesitation.
"Haha."
The cockroach smiled, it's good to be interested, this business doesn't have to run. I secretly said in my heart that the task of the boss jiao was basically completed.
Here's the main thing.
Fighter!
As an air force officer, Colonel Najib naturally knows the main fighters of various countries very well. Iran sent such a half-negotiator with a very clear attitude, buy fighter planes!
"This is the F16?" In an instant, Colonel Najib's eyes widened, this fighter was so famous, and no one expected that it would shine when it was about to fall in glory.
"Yes, this is the fighter plane that Mr. Omar purchased." The meaning of the cockroach is very clear, as long as Iran buys this fighter, it is enough to sweep the F16 fighter of the US military.
Pity.
Najib is not a fool, after the United States announced that within two years, all F16 fighters will be retired, and the enemy that the Iranian Air Force wants to face is no longer F16, but more advanced F15E, F35, and F22 fighters.
However, this fighter is more than Iran's main fighter F14 "Panda", as well as the "Thunderbolt" from the copycat, so Iran will still choose to buy it as a last resort.
"Mr. Cockroach, how about this F16 if it competes with the F15??"
"Hahaha...... Colonel Najib, you should know that the F15 is a heavy fighter, and the F16 is a light multi-role fighter, and there is no comparison between the two, the mantis said with a smile.
The U.S. military hastily retired the F16, and the next thing Iran needs to face is the F15, F1F and other fighters. It's not surprising that Najib asked.
"Colonel Najib, to be honest, our improved F16 fighter has no advantage over the F15, but it will not be as vulnerable as a one-touch defeat." The cockroach vaguely replied, and for the exact combat effectiveness, it was silent.
Najib lowered his head, deep in thought.
"Hehe, we sell weapons in the dark star, and the logistics and maintenance support can definitely keep up, and your country can avoid political problems, and you don't have to worry about later upgrades, spare parts supply, and even at the right time, you can obtain the production technology of this kind of fighter!" The cockroach kept talking about all kinds of benefits, and finally, threw a big bait and introduced production, which is undoubtedly an irresistible yo for Iran, which has limited technology
"Oh? You mean, Iran can introduce production? Najib's interest soared
The cockroach smiled and nodded.
He didn't dare to agree to this, but Xiao Tian had already instructed him before, and even intended to guide Iran to independently produce F16 fighters.
What exactly is Xiao Tian going to do?
This.
The cockroach did not think about it specifically, but it should definitely be related to the United States, after all, if a large number of FF16 fighters of this level appear, it will undoubtedly be harmful to the United States.
This harm is not only military, but also economic and political.
Let alone.
After years of war, the United States has surrounded Iran, and there is a possibility of war at any time, and at this time, Iran has acquired a large number of advanced fighters, which is a fatal blow to the US military.
"Huh? It's strange that this arms organization is willing to sell technology, what is their purpose, what do they want to obtain? "Colonel Najib slowly calmed down after being excited, and kept thinking." Hey, that's it, these things shouldn't be my consideration, leave them to the country! ”
……
"Colonel Najib, there are also Russian-made fighters here, a series of Soviet-style fighter families such as Su-27, Su-3O, Su-33, Su-35, and MiG series fighters ......"
Naji watched each fighter with relish.
But in the bottom of his heart, he was shouting, if Iran has these fighters, what is it afraid of? After returning home, we must vigorously push the general to purchase a large number of advanced fighters.
……
Inside the Shadow Star Air Force Base.
"This ...... This is the fighter plane you sold to the Taliban bastards? Lawernst asked urgently, he thought that his eyes were dazzled, this fighter plane turned out to be the F16 fighter of the US military!
"Not bad!"
"Oh God. Miss Silver Fox, you are plagiarizing and infringing on the patents of American companies! Lawnst yelled.
The silver fox looked at him with idiotic eyes, and let Lawernst shout, not to say that he was just a small assistant presidential envoy, even if he was the president of the United States, the dark star had blackmailed.
"Mr. Lauernst, may I ask, does the United States still want to buy this fighter?" Silver Fox sneered, the United States proposed the intention of buying fighters, she was clear, in addition to understanding the Xing capabilities of the fighters, it was nothing more than a blow to the Taliban Air Force against Xing.
But.
This is not within the Silver Fox's concern, there are only 5 fighters left in the Taliban Air Force, even if they are all destroyed, what can they do?
"Of course!"
Lawnst replied that his intention was not so much to threaten Darkstar to stop selling weapons to the Taliban, but to buy fighter jets.
He didn't expect that the purpose of this trip would be accomplished so easily.
"May I ask the price of this fighter?"
"It's not expensive, only 7ooo dollars!" The silver fox giggled, and arbitrarily raised the price by one-third, not to mention, the United States came to buy fighters, it was not at all good, and the number of purchases was not much, taking advantage of their urgent need to purchase research, if they didn't kill it, they were sorry for themselves.
Silver Fox originally wanted to offer $100 million, but after thinking about it, he still forgot it.
"Oh God, you're robbing. The American F15 fighter is also at this price. Lawernst was in a hurry again, he didn't want to be wronged, the unit price was 70 million US dollars, which was indeed very expensive!
"Giggles, this price is negotiable, if the United States buys 5o racks, the unit price is 60 million US dollars; Buy more than 1oo racks, the unit price is 50 million US dollars! The silver fox said with a smile.
"No, we only need eight!"
Rawnster shook his head and refused, joking, he came to buy these fighters for research purposes, not for the US Air Force, not to mention, even if the United States wants to buy such fighters to equip the troops, domestic arms companies will not agree.
"Then there is no way, eight planes, the unit price is 70 million US dollars, otherwise, we will not lose more than we gain by reopening the production line."
……
After some negotiations.
In the end, Lawnster was defeated, and the United States purchased eight F16 fighters in the Golden Triangle for $560 million. This is really comedic, the US military will one day buy a copycat F16 for research!
Who would have thought about this?
"When will this order be paid?"
"Batch two planes, pay for them in three months, and the remaining six fighters will be paid by the end of 2o19!" Silver Fox said with a smile that Darkstar had the ability to pay for orders within a month, but she didn't do so.
"Miss Silver Fox, it's too late, you see, can the batch of fighters be paid within a month?" Lawnster urged the United States to urgently get a prototype and go back to study it to deal with the Taliban's air force. Although the U.S. military's F22 fighters can sweep through the 16 of these cottages, the maintenance cost of the Raptor is too high, and the United States is unwilling to use F22 fighters on a large scale unless it is absolutely necessary.
"This is a bit difficult......," Silver Fox said with difficulty, she really didn't want to pay the fighter so quickly, first, it was to hide the arms production capacity of the dark star, and it was also to delay time for Afghanistan.
"Miss Silver Fox......"
"Well, in this case, your country will pay five million dollars for overtime, and I will urge the factory to be completed as soon as possible!" Silver Fox mentioned in a timely manner, his intentions were obvious, he wanted to receive the fighter in advance and take the money!
Overtime?
What a ridiculous reason, but some US military enterprises have also done the same when selling arms abroad.
"Finish as soon as possible? Miss Silver Fox, can you tell us exactly when it will be completed? Lawernst asked, but his heart was bitter, he finally understood the meaning of the president's admonition "don't offend easily".
"Giggles, Mr. Lawnster, have you ever heard the saying that the power of money is infinite!"
"Okay, I'll pay $8 million for overtime, and your organization must pay for two fighters in a month." Lawernst roared with a calm face, especially biting the three words "overtime pay" very hard.
"Cheng Jiao!"
Silver Fox replied with a smile, she was in a good mood about being able to pull out eight million dollars in "overtime pay" from Lawnster, and as for whether to offend the United States, it was not something she could consider.
……
When the Silver Fox and the United States reached an agreement, in the exhibition hall of the Trade Building, Colonel Naji also came to the last area of the exhibition hall, the missile exhibition area!
And the most eye-catching is the ICBM with a length of 2o meters and a weight of dozens of tons! This is a weapon that only the United States, China, Russia, Britain and France have. If Iran gets it, Najib is thrilled to think about it.
Ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, anti-aircraft missiles......
Over here.
There is the most complete family of missiles!
"Colonel Najib, how are you feeling?"
"It's powerful!"
Yes, it's powerful, that's what Najib feels. Originally, before he came here, he also thought that the dark star was lucky to make an advanced fighter, but who knows, this is not the case at all.
Najib believes that there is no arms company in the world that can compete with the Dark Star. Even the arsenals of various countries cannot be compared!
The only regret.
Najib didn't see a single battleship, but he was relieved to think that the Golden Triangle was in Inner 6 and there was no shipyard. However, it is enough to dominate the weapons market of the 6th Army and the Air Force.
……
"Huh?"
Looking at the end of the exhibition hall, there was an elevator there, and Colonel Naji walked over.
"I'm sorry, Colonel Najib, but the second floor of the exhibition hall is closed to Iran!" The cockroach quickly stepped forward to stop him, this trade building, there are many things, and the first floor is the most ordinary goods.
In the exhibition hall on the second floor, there are some sensitive munitions, such as bombers! These cockroaches have also been seen.
And the third floor.
Except for the boss and the silver fox in charge of this matter, no one knows what is inside. So far, the cockroaches have not been to the third floor!
What's even more terrifying.
This trade building is 18 stories high, and all the seven floors below have arms exhibition halls! Cockroaches can't think of anything that can be put on top of the three floors?
"Mr. Cockroach, ...... you" Colonel Najib was annoyed, what does it mean not to be open to Iran, is it discriminatory against Iran.
"Najib laughs, you misunderstood, in fact, as I said, you are the first guest here. Not opening up to Iran is not meant to be discriminatory. The cockroach defended, "Darkstar's trading partners, with a trade volume of less than $100 million, are not eligible to come here; For less than one billion dollars, the exhibition hall on the first floor can be partially opened; Below $1oo dollars and above $1o dollars, the first floor exhibition hall is completely open to it. And on the second floor, the condition is that the purchase of arms from the dark star is more than 10 billion US dollars, and it is friendly to the dark star! ”
"Ten billion dollars?" Najib was shocked, this is comparable to Iran's annual military spending, in 2o18, Iran's military spending in dollars, in view of the United States' aggressive posture, in 2o19, Iran's military budget soared to 1.2 billion U.S. dollars.
But.
These $1.2 billion is all Iran's military spending for a year, and Iran does not have the courage to spend 10 billion dollars in one go without purchasing arms.
"Oh, Mr. Cockroach, what about the third floor?" After receiving the cockroach's explanation, Najib also felt that he had misunderstood, and immediately asked with a smile, extremely curious.
"Third floor? I don't know! ”
The cockroach was slightly stunned and shook its head.
"Uh......"
Colonel Najib didn't ask any more questions, just as the cockroach didn't want to say. This is understandable, Iran does not even have the qualifications to enter the second floor, let alone the mysterious third floor exhibition hall, no wonder people don't even mention it.
He knew that he was able to enter the entire exhibition hall on the first floor for the first time, and I am afraid that people had calculated Iran's financial resources and had enough strength and necessity to purchase more than a billion dollars in arms.
……
……
……
The visit lasted more than three hours, and Colonel Najib was too addicted, after all, even Iran's arsenal could not find such a complete set of equipment.
Let alone.
As an air force officer, Najib does not have the right to go to Iran's arsenal.
"Mr. Cockroach, thank you for your hospitality, after I return to China, I will definitely tell the truth and persuade the state to purchase your organization's arms!" Colonel Najib said with a smile.
"Okay."
The cockroach smiled and thought, do you need to persuade Iran to buy a large number of advanced arms with the current situation of Iran, and why not sharpen its head and squeeze it here?
……
For the next two days.
Cockroaches accompanied Najib to test fly the F16 fighter and talked a lot...... Even, in the Jiao talk, the cockroach faintly put forward some "suggestions" to deal with the US military.
……
"Whew, finally completed the mission!" Watching Najib leave in a helicopter, the cockroach breathed a sigh of relief and immediately called Xiao Tian.
