Chapter 228: Win Ma! (Including 7/15 for the alliance leader 'qiz') ask for a monthly pass
In a meeting room in the Universal Building, Fat Harvey met Sidney Hinberg, the president of Universal.
Sidney Sheinberg is 50 years old, wears dark glasses, has a cleanly shaved beard, and has a cute smile.
Sidney Hinberg is one of Universal's most successful presidents, he originally worked for MCA, an American music company, and became president of Universal, after MCA annexed Universal.
After he came to power, he successively produced movies such as "Jaws", "ET Alien", "Moonlight Panic", etc., which brought Universal back to the front line of Hollywood.
Of course, this is not the reason why he is called the most successful president, the real reason is that he sold Universal and MCA together to the Japanese, selling 6.6 billion, and severely pit the Japanese.
"Mr. Sidney, I'm here to represent Sean Pictures, and you know, I'm distributing the movie 'Instinct' on my behalf." The meeting was more formal, and Harvey directly made it clear.
"I know, and then what?" Speaking of business, Sidney Sheinberg's face also became serious.
"Maybe we did hit the same schedule, but, I think ......"
"What?" Sidney grimaced.
"Isn't that a bit too much, we can compete normally, you say, Mr. Sidney."
"Excessive!" Sidney Schinberg's face turned a little ugly, "I've seen you guys!"
"Universal's release plan has been set a long time ago, and it's you, remember, you picked this date to hit it!"
"Major companies, so many movies have been released, why do you deliberately want to bump into the world?"
"Or, you think that Universal is no longer good, and you can bully you as you like!"
Speaking of this, Sidney Sheinberg was very angry, he just felt irritated when he received that "Instinct" and "French Open Condor" had collided with the schedule, and when he heard the news that Sean Pictures' super production "Die Hard" had collided with "Fallen from the Sky" again, the whole person was furious.
One can be said to be a coincidence, but what about two in a row?
Is this to see that they are not pleasing to the world, and come up to snipe at the world?!
Who gave them the guts!
I think Hollywood's oldest film company is easy to bully.
Or do you think MCA is a bully?
Or maybe he thinks Sidney Sheeenberg is a bully!
When anyone occupies the pit and is about to, a person who suddenly comes up next to him and wants to occupy half of the pit will be furious.
A poop of pegs paste on your face!
Hearing Sidney Hinberg say this, Harvey quickly shook his head and said that he didn't mean it, everything was a misunderstanding.
"Misunderstanding? You're trying to say, you don't know that the two movies in the same schedule are Universal? Sidney Sheenberg sneered, "Lie to the devil, he doesn't believe it."
"Uh......" Harvey looked embarrassed, he always thought he was very good at speaking, but now, he really didn't know how to say it.
Can he say that Boss Xiao deliberately selected Universal after looking through all the films produced and released by major companies this year?
Huh, ......?
Harvey was a little stunned, as if Sean really bumped into it on purpose!
He didn't dare to say this, but if he did, he was afraid that Sidney would not have strangled him on the spot.
I can only say that it is a misunderstanding, that there is no need to do this, that it is a disservice to the world, and that I will go back to see if there is something wrong, and then come to Sidney to communicate.
Sidney saw that the fat man was soft, and his attitude improved.
Leaving the globe, Harvey looked distressed, he had to meet and explain this matter to Sean.
……
"I deliberately bullied him?" Sean looked at Harvey who was chasing after him with a confused expression, "Do I have it?" ”
"Mr. Sean, do you remember what you said when you first selected the schedule?" Harvey asked helplessly.
Sean blinked, took a sip of the milk Diane handed over, tilted his head and remembered.
"What the hell is Universal filming, it's really fucking every year, if it weren't for Spielberg to support them, I think Universal would be about to go bankrupt."
"Sidney Schiehnberg? A musician who doesn't honestly make his own music and make movies, isn't this? ”
"The seven major companies, Universal and the special Disney have a fight, one game and one rotten."
"If no one else is provoked, it's just the world, just stare at them and arrange the release!"
Well, Sean couldn't help but scratch his head when he thought back to what he said that day.
It seems that I really think that the world is easy to bully, and then shoot the initiative to bump into it.
"Fuck, they're rubbish!" Sean spread out his hands, his expression was weird, helpless, and funny.
"They are such garbage, if you don't bully them, who will I bully!"
"You can only cut meat from Universal."
"Tell me what the world has been like in the last decade."
In the past ten years, just last year in 1985, Universal has done okay, a "Back to the Future" won a box office champion, and a "Out of Africa" won a box office list No. 6, but last year, Sean's first electrocution "The Great Bank Robbery" won No. 4.
Further back, in 84, 83, and 82, there was only one Spielberg's "ET the Extra-Terrestrial", and then there was no then, losing money!
'81 looked good, and it was second at the box office, but that was the release, and the movie was made by Jane Fonda Father and Daughter.
Then, there was no then, Spielberg gave Universal a "Jaws" in '75, "Jaws" in '78 2, and for so many years, Universal did almost nothing.
"So what now? President Sidney was annoyed, indeed, this time we bumped into it, if Universal didn't say anything else......" Harvey shook his head, he wasn't optimistic about Universal's movie today, at least he watched "French Open Condor".
Well, unexpectedly garbage.
Losing money this year, and being ridden on the head by Sean Pictures to and pee without any reaction, Sidney is waiting to resign.
"You fuck." Sean scratched his head irritably, he really didn't want to change gears.
Movies are not only filmed and distributed, but also sophisticated.
He's still thinking about Ilak's side, and the issue of issuance comes up again.
"Dead fatty, you can't do this fucking thing, what's the use of me looking for you to publish it!" Sean was irritable, pointed at Harvey and scolded, "I might as well give Universal a fucking face and let them distribute it to me!" ”
Harvey lowered his head, not daring to squeak at all, the date was set by you, and you are scolding me now......
"Jointly issued with Universal, half of the distribution fee!" Sean said with an unhappy expression.
"This, more than half of the distribution fee is only 1 percent, that money, the world won't want it, isn't it kneeling to ask for food." Harvey smiled wryly.
He was willing to lose some money, but Universal wouldn't be so ashamed.
Such a precedent cannot be set.
Damn, Sean scolded, "You'd better give me that idea, otherwise, your broken company won't be opened and merged directly." ”
The corners of Harvey's mouth twitched, and he said for a while: "Either you look at this, first privately promote "Die Hard" to continue to collide with Universal, and then I will publicly say that those are all rumors in a few days, "Die Hard" will avoid Universal, which can be regarded as a soft service to Universal." ”
Sean tilted his head and stared at Harvey, staring at Harvey in a cold sweat, "His Sidney's face is face, and my face is not face." ”
"I didn't mean that." Harvey hurriedly waved his hand.
"I don't care what you mean, "Instinct" is already on the way, the schedule cannot be changed, and "Die Hard" will increase the post-production time at most and postpone the release." Sean waved his hand domineeringly, "You take my tens of millions of distribution fees, you can't fucking sell it with Lao Tzu's face!" ”
"The rest of the way is figured out, whether you bribe Sidney or exchange other interests, I don't care."
"That's it, you go out."
Harvey walked away with a depressed face, and Sean was not in a good mood, in his opinion, the dead fat man was a little confused and too greedy.
Now I also need Harvey's distribution ability in North America, especially the distribution of videotapes after the release, the second release of local small movie theaters, etc., after I have built up my distribution ability.
Ha fat man has no value.
Of course, the matter of forming a distribution channel is not so simple.
After sending Harvey away, and absentmindedly accompanying Diane for a day in New York, Sean followed the phone number left there.
On the phone, the other party confirmed that it was Sean himself, and he seemed very enthusiastic, Sean didn't ask who the other party was, but simply communicated.
Sean said, "There's nothing that can't be solved with money, and if there is, it's because the money hasn't been spent." ”
Ilak said that money is not a problem!
Money is not a problem, then Sean is not a problem, no matter what, Sean brought the president of the Umbrella Company, Bill Langton, the consultant Layton Steven, the commander of the Surface Operations Division, Captain Robert A. Owens, and the commander of the Marine Operations Division, Colonel Dennis Abtt.
A group of 5 people flew directly from New York to Ankara, the capital of Turkey.
It also flew from Ankara to Baghdad, the capital of Iraq.
After the five of them landed at Baghdad airport, they found that the entire airport was under martial law, and a middle-aged man in a military uniform was looking at Sean as he walked out of the cabin with a smile on his face.
When they met, before Sean could speak, a middle-aged man in a military uniform walked up enthusiastically, took the initiative to stretch out his hand and introduce himself: "I'm Ali Hassan Majid, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Rockefeller." ”
Leighton Stevenin whispered behind Sean: "Ilak President Saddam Hussein's cousin, Ilak Defense Minister. ”
"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you, Minister Ali Hassan Majid, just call me Sean, my friends call me." Sean smiled and shook the other person's hand, correcting the salutation by the way.
The Rockefeller sentence that the old guy just shouted made Sean feel a little bad.
The meaning is not pure!
After that, Sean had time to take a good look at the person in front of him, saying that the old guy was a little too much, only in his early 40s, slightly fat, Sean remembered, and then this guy seemed to have been shot.
But that's at least more than 20 years later.
The cameras around them kept clicking and clicking, and both of them were smiling and posing for the camera.
There was a military band playing next to it, as if it were greeting the country's leaders.
Sean didn't feel anything wrong with Ilak sending a defense secretary to greet him.
He also often played with the future president, kicked several times, and visited the current vice president several times.
Ilak's defense minister is not enough to flatter Sean.
After greeting at the airport for a while, the group was picked up by Ali and arranged in a large villa not far from the presidential palace.
The luxury of the villa is beyond Sean's imagination, as long as it can be inlaid with gold, it is completely inlaid with gold and jewels.
Doesn't the local tyrant gold seem too nouveau riche?
Sean didn't know, he didn't like it very much anyway, it seems that people in desert areas have had this taste since ancient times.
Although it was just a business negotiation without a word, Ilak was still quite solemn here.
A drinking party was held in the evening, and President Saddam Hussein did not come, which made Sean a little regretful, but several of Saddam's sons arrived, the 22-year-old young Uday, tall and thin, quite handsome, and the 20-year-old Qusse, chubby, mostly old-fashioned, with the same mustache as Ali, or more precisely, the same mustache as Saddam.
The moment he saw Couse, Sean felt that this little cub was a sinister.
In comparison, Uday, who has his forehead held high and walks with the wind, looks like a brainless person.
However, both of them are gentlemen, eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling and smoking, which they have with Sean......
Ahh
Sean is never good at this bite!
The nature is completely different.
Saddam's family is still very enthusiastic, and he rests at night and sends 10 young girls.
It is said that they are all pure virgins.
Sean refused verbally, but, Uday said, this is Ilak's enthusiasm, it is to let Sean experience the cultural customs of Arabia, this is cultural exchange, it is art!
There was no way, Sean could only reluctantly agree.
However, before resting, Sean made a point of instructing Layton Steven.
The old man is 60 years old, Sean doesn't want to come to Ilak, the old man was sent away directly......
He was ready to bear the stimulus in the place of Old Man Leiden that he should not have endured at his age.
But the old man of Laiden still didn't appreciate it, and said very strongly that his body was very good, and he was quite a bit old and weak, and he regretted the momentum of Yueyang City.
Sean could only shake his head and curse and leave.
The Night......
The bright moonlight in front of the bed turned into three shadows.
……
Early the next morning, Sean was in good health and got up like no one else, and the other two were a little sluggish, but breakfast was going to be cold, and the old man Layton didn't come down.
Eventually, Layton came down against the wall.
Sean had a bad premonition......
The twenty-eight best people look like crisps, and they slash the old man with a sword at their waists.
Ilak's people are so insidious that they have abolished one of my generals!
It was not a formal negotiation, everyone still intended to communicate, and there was another banquet at noon, but this time there were fewer people.
Ali Hassan Majid communicates with Sean while eating.
The background of the Iran-Iraq war is very complicated, it has been fought for five years now, and in the past five years, the blood of Yilang and Yilak is almost dry, but the grievances between the two sides are too deep, and now they can't fight if they don't want to.
In the local wars after World War II, the Iran-Iraq war was relatively tragic, and the weapons and equipment were very advanced.
When the United States supported the former government of Yilang to fight the Soviet Union, it really made great efforts, and many advanced weapons and equipment, including fighter jets.
Including 79 F-14A, 32 F-4D, 177 F-4E and 28 F-5F, the Royal Air Force at its peak had 450 advanced fighters and about 5,000 well-trained pilots.
There are also a large number of MiG-21, MiG-23, Su-22, H-6 and so on on the ILAK side.
In terms of air power, the two countries are already very good.
Of course, we can also see something interesting about this, the Ilang, which was supported by the Soviet Union, used American aircraft, and the Ilak, which was supported by the United States, used Soviet aircraft......
Oh yes, and the H-6, yes, that's right, it's the H-6 of the rabbit......
In the end, in a big battle, the rabbit won.
"As long as it does not violate U.S. law, it is a purely commercial activity, and our umbrella company is a purely commercial company and does not represent any political position." Sean laughs and says, "Business has nothing to do with politics. ”
Bullshit business has nothing to do with politics, and Ali won't believe it, but as long as the umbrella company can complete the task, it doesn't matter.
"We hope that you can launch a surprise attack on the military base here at a specific time to completely destroy this base, and if you can't, you will hold on for more than 1 hour to buy time for us." Ali pulled out a map and pointed to a military stronghold on the border with Ilang on the Persian Gulf.
What the other party said was not true, and Sean did not ask in detail before reaching an agreement, "We need to know the specific strength of this military base in Yilang, what its function is, and what equipment it has." ”
"This is a missile launch base, and we don't know the specific troops and equipment." Ali spread his hands.
Sean didn't answer directly, but leaned closer to Dennis Abt and whispered, "I remember that Elak has Scud missiles, why don't they use missiles to level this bullshit base." ”
"There are scuds, and there are quite a few, and the Soviet Union sold them to them, but the problem is that the scuds don't have that ability." Dennis Abt explained in a whisper, and Sean understood why ground forces were needed to advance.
The Scud is a surface-to-surface tactical ballistic missile, an imitation of the German V-2 missile, but this broken thing is inertial guidance, the maximum range is only 300 kilometers, not to mention, the accuracy is still very impressive.
The prediction accuracy is 300, but it is even more exaggerated than that, after all, there will be errors in the prediction target......
And they are just ordinary warheads, which can hold 860 kg of explosives and have a killing radius of about 150 meters.
That is, it is quite possible that a missile will pass by, and there will be no on the target.
And even if it hits the target, due to the problem of the amount of charge, it can only have a good killing effect on the ground target, and it is really powerless for underground fortifications.
"Can you fight?" Sean cares more about this.
"Yes, at least a hundred people, tanks and armored vehicles to cooperate, and there must be enough air support, two Black Hawks are definitely not enough." Dennis Abt frowned and said, "In addition, if this military base is important to the Ilang people, the other party will soon send support. ”
"They have planes, F-14s, and once air support arrives, our Black Hawks are targets."
"Our advantage is that we have a warship that is relatively advanced in the world, and my personal suggestion is to rely on warships to fight and give full play to our strengths."
"Of course, the Marine Divisions are not afraid of war, but they ...... The losses will be significant. ”
"Of course, we're here to make money, not really to fight for the lives of the Ilaks." Sean nodded in agreement.
Coughing lightly, Sean looked at Ali, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his tone changed from his previous seriousness to a little frivolous, "Okay, Minister Ali, let's not go around in circles, it's not interesting." ”
"As for me, I don't like to do things like the older generation, I prefer to be direct."
"I don't have any political stance, no matter what bullshit grudges, politics, religion, I'm here to make money!"
"Whoever gives money, I will do it for whomever I want!"
"What about me, talk about my advantages, there is the kind of money that is not difficult, introduce it to me, this kind of thankless thing you don't take out and waste everyone's time."
The corners of Ali Hassan Majid's mouth twitched, he had more contact with the Soviets and Americans, and there were countless negotiations of all kinds, but this was the first time he had seen this in front of him.
It's hard to think about how much money you have!
"At present, I have a Keeling-class missile destroyer under my umbrella, Keeling-class, you must be familiar with it, there are 3 on the opposite side of Yilang, and I won't introduce much about the ones that were sold to them before."
"What, you have Keeling-class destroyers?!" Ali slammed up from his seat and looked at Sean in horror, "This can't be! ”
"But it's a fact, the warship is currently being refitted at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Virginia, and it is about to be launched." Sean shrugged, spread his hands, and pouted three times.
"Crazy, it's just, it's incredible, my God." Ali was shocked by some quotes.
They are going to hire an umbrella company, and they will naturally understand the military power of the umbrella.
Especially after the publication of the videotape of the joint exercises in Cartagena.
Elak knew that Sean's umbrella had a large number of American veterans, including 2 Black Hawk gunships, 2 tanks, and multiple armored transport vehicles.
Whether on helicopters, tanks or armored vehicles, these equipment are better than Ilak's current ones.
At present, the Black Hawk helicopter gunship is only equipped with the United States, and it has not yet been released for sale.
Not to mention the Apache.
This force is very strong, it can play a strong role on the frontal battlefield, and it is the Americans, and the boss is surnamed Rockefeller, so Elak has the intention of hiring them to try.
It doesn't matter if it doesn't work, it's purely the mentality of having dates and not hitting two shots.
It's just that there has never been any intelligence that shows that the Umbrella Company has warships!
The Keeling class, don't look at it on the United States side, it can only be blown up as a target ship, but it can still be sold as a hegemon-class across the seas.
It was because of the fact that Ilang had three Keeling-class destroyers sold to them by the Americans during the Pahlavi dynasty that he was able to control the Persian Gulf and ensure that their oil export routes were unimpeded.
And on the Ilak side, because the coastline is only a small 58 kilometers, the navy or something......
Don't talk about the navy, we're still friends.
After the start of the Iran-Iraq war, Wolf-class frigates were ordered from Italy last year, and one was just delivered last year.
Since there was no naval power before, the battleship is not yet proficient in operation......
The navy is a high-tech service, and training is really difficult, and it takes several years for a qualified navy to train.
At this point, Sean can be regarded as taking advantage of the US military.
The displacement is basically the same as that of the Keeling class, and the anti-ship missile is equipped with Ottomatt anti-ship missiles, launch weight: 770 kg, warhead: 210 kg, and a range of 60 km.
It's about the same as the French Flying Fish, and it's far worse than the American Harpoon that Sean gets.
If you look at the name, you can see that the flying fish, the harpoon, at first glance, is specialized in it.
In terms of air defense, the Wolf-class frigates are equipped with American-made "Sea Sparrow" air defense missile systems.
Sean's Keeling-class equipment is...... No.
Of course, Sean won't say this, not now, go back and pretend.
In other words, at present, Sean alone has the same sea surface power as the entire Elak......
This is something that Ali definitely did not expect.
It was the first time he had heard about the private possession of a naval missile destroyer, which made Ali a little distracted.
After all, this thing is a big money burner, and ordinary people, well, even ordinary billionaires can't afford to play it.
Let's talk about the Harpoon anti-ship missile, one shot is 970,000 US dollars.
Generally, small countries can't bear it, of course, such as Wanwan, the unit price costs 23 million at its peak......
I don't know the money...... How this invoice was issued.
How many rebates......
"I want to emphasize one point, Yilang's Keeling-class destroyer is different from mine, after all, it is an export version and a full version, they are FRAM Type 1 modified ships, mine is a Type 2 modification, in terms of firepower, they are completely defeated, including your Wolf-class frigates, I'm afraid you will sink if you don't have a chance to meet." Sean said with an apologetic look.
He knows the specific combat effectiveness, but at this time, the must be blown out.
"I'm armed with a Harpoon missile launch system."
"Harpoon, I think you must be familiar with it, just 4 years ago, the Sheffield that sank the British."
"You have to understand, we have such a big guy at sea, and all the battles will be done around the Keelin class."
"So, let's get down to business."
"Of course." Ali seemed very excited, but he didn't directly agree to anything, he wanted to go back and discuss with Saddam Hussein.
The rest of the banquet was small talk, until the next day, Ali came to the door again, this time not to talk about anything specifically, but to invite the important door to visit the presidential palace.
Sean finally met the "Lion of the Middle East" Saddam, a legendary figure.
Slightly chubby, square face, mustache, as for the cruelty, murder and the like in later legends, Sean didn't find out for the time being.
What likes to slaughter, likes to watch execution scenes, torture and so on, Sean will not believe the media reports until he sees it with his own eyes.
Meeting, introducing, shaking hands, greetings, taking pictures, a set of processes went down, and the two sides began to talk about business.
By the way, Sean received another signed photo of the president.
After the negotiations officially began, to Sean's surprise, Ilak's side wanted to let the umbrella side help escort it.
"Escort!?" Sean looked at Saddam in surprise.
"Yes, escort!" Saddam Hussein affirmed: "From the side of the rabbits, escort a freighter and make sure that they arrive safely at the Basra naval base." ”
Sean and Layton Stevenin looked at each other in time, isn't this a dart game?
"There are a few things I need to know, first, what exactly is being shipped?" Sean looked at Saddam.
"Weapons, tanks, armored vehicles, missiles, steel, and a lot of spare parts for weapons." Saddam Hussein did not hide it.
Weapons, tanks?
Sean was stunned, and he glanced at Layton Stevenin in confusion.
Layton Stevens turned his head and whispered in Sean's ear: "In the past year or so, Ilak has purchased a large number of weapons in that big country in the East, fighters, artillery, tanks, armored vehicles, missiles, well, to be precise, Ilang and Ilak are both purchasing arms from rabbits. ”
"Huh? Is the rabbit's arms so useful? Sean looked confused, if the memory in his mind is correct, the weapons of the rabbit in the 80s are mostly improved after World War II, which is much worse than the United States and the Soviet Union, and if it is specific to the Air Force and Navy, it is also much behind the other two hooligans.
"It's cheap!" Layton Stevenne spread his hands helplessly, "In addition, a large number of equipment in the Ilak military is Soviet-style, and rabbit products can be seamlessly linked. ”
Cheap!?
Sean almost laughed, it was too cheap.
Sean can remember clearly that there were signs of layoffs in the 80s, a large number of factory products were squeezed and could not be sold, and the world's largest army had a stock of weapons, which was too much.
It's cheaper than you think.
If you think about it, if you buy a handful of American-made M16, how much can you buy?
What's more, this thing is durable, and the failure rate in desert areas is much lower than that of M16, although the accuracy is indeed low......
However, it's free fire anyway, who cares so much.
Not to mention tanks.
How much is an American-made M48?
And how much is a Type 69 medium tank?
Yes, a 100-mm smoothbore gun, which is far worse than a 105-mm rifled gun.
But it's cheap!
Yes, the accuracy or power is much lower.
But it's cheap!
Yes, the protection ability is even worse by a grade, and there is no three-defense ability.
But it's cheap!
The price difference has been many times, and after five years of bad fighting, there is no surplus food at the home of the oil tyrant.
Not to mention missiles, how much is Hongqi 2? How much do Scuds cost?
A J-7 is only $3 million, and if Sean hadn't considered his identity, he would have to place an order to buy a few to play with.
The F-14 is good, 25 million dollars!
are reluctant to go out, if this is shot down, the intestines can be repentant.
Hearing Layton Steven's words, Sean understood.
According to later statistics, the front and rear rabbits successively sold more than 2,500 tanks to Yilang and Ilak, accounting for 80% of the total output, other Type 59-1 cannons, more than 1,000 Type 63 armored vehicles, dozens of J-6 and J-7 fighters, Hongqi 2 anti-aircraft missiles, etc.
More famously, the H-6 medium-range strategic bomber was also sold.
Only the United States and the Soviet Union have strategic bombers in the world, and the Rabbit's H-6 is a copycat of the Soviet Union, which can only be regarded as a medium-range strategic bomber due to its short legs.
This was later used by ILAC to sell oil to Ilang's tankers, which were escorted by the French Mirage F1.
There was such a story back then, Saudi Arabia bought missiles.
In '87, the penultimate year of the Iran-Iraq war, the Saudi Arabia next door to ILAK was thinking about safety, security, or fucking safety.
How can I be safe?
Buy missiles, buy the kind of missiles that can be very advanced!
Saudi Arabia has prepared $13 billion to buy Lance ballistic missiles with America.
The Lance missile is a relatively advanced surface-to-surface tactical missile, with a maximum range of only 120 kilometers, which is worse than a Scud, but this thing is fast, can reach 3 times the factor, the height reaches 45 kilometers, and the accuracy is 150 meters.
Vehicle-mounted launch, short launch preparation time, easy to operate, easy to train, the transporter has amphibious maneuverability, good cross-country performance.
America thinks that the Middle East cannot have such awesome weapons, which is not conducive to regional chaos, ahhh
Saudi Arabia is very angry, if you don't let me buy spears, then I'll buy better ones, why do I want to buy the kind of big guy who can hit all the surrounding countries!
So, I went to John Bull again, and as a result, John Bull himself didn't have such a awesome thing.
Just when Saudi Arabia was very distressed, I suddenly thought of the rabbits that had wandered between Ilang and Ilak in recent years, selling goods repeatedly.
After that, they secretly sent people to sneak into the rabbit nest.
It was infiltrated, and it did not establish diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia in 87, and at that time Saudi Arabia and Wanwan were 'friends'.
The hooded mustache suddenly appeared near the rabbit's military base, and as a result, he asked, okay, I want to buy that kind of big root,
Thick, long, and hard,
It's something that makes people very excited, very exciting, and very motivated when they have it!
Dongfeng-3 medium-range ballistic missile with a maximum range of up to 2,800 km.
This range meant that it was the longest-range missile in the Middle East at the time, covering not only all of Ilang, Ilak and Israel, but also parts of India and the Soviet Union.
It is rumored that when the price was negotiated, the Chinese side made a '1' gesture.
It means 10 million, this price is already very expensive, after all, everyone understands the cost of rabbit things at that time.
State-owned military enterprises, not much money.
Saudi: 100 million?
China: (o_o) ?? Yes?
Saudi: Okay!
China: Ah!!
Saudi Arabia: Dollars?
China: Huh? o_o ||
Saudi: Okay!
China: Ah!!
One hundred million,
USD, cash settlement!
The whole process was confused, the rabbit at that time, there was no such valuable thing in the whole country, and the J-7 only bid for 3 million before.
That's all unprecedented.
I never thought that one could be sold for so much money, let alone one.
At that time, the Dongfeng-3 was a nuclear warhead, and for this purpose, a new conventional warhead was specially designed and manufactured for Saudi Arabia.
Weighs up to 2 tons!
In the end, 35 Dongfeng Express were sold for $3.5 billion.
What is the concept of 3.5 billion US dollars, you must know that back then, the rabbit reserves of foreign exchange were only 2 billion.
Just this 2 billion, it is still the money from repeatedly selling weapons back and forth between Yilang and Ilak.
Old quenched thirst!
Back then, rabbits were very backward, and there was nothing that could be used to export to earn foreign exchange, and it was still an oil exporter at that time.
What does foreign exchange earning depend on, it depends on arms!
These 35 Dongfeng brand express have protected Saudi Arabia's peace for decades.
This is because, on August 2, 90, Ilak brazenly invaded Kuwait, and 10 hours later, the entire territory of Kuwait fell.
This is the Islamic Rak, which has declined greatly after the Iran-Iraq war......
After the occupation of Kuwait, 100,000 troops approached the eastern border of Saudi Arabia.
At the critical moment, the "Dongfeng-3" appeared on Saudi Arabia's official television station, and the Saudi military transported a number of "Dongfeng-3" missiles to the launch base, which can be 'biu', 'biu' and 'biu' at any time......
38 warheads, 2 tons, can wipe out Baghdad by half a laer, and then, and then Ilak withdraws his troops.
During the entire 8 years of the Iran-Iraq war, Rabbit sold a large number of weapons to the Middle East, such as Yilang, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, all of which dared to sell anything, and they were all the most advanced.
Most of the foreign exchange used back then came from this way, and the big problem was solved.
So, who won the Iran-Iraq war?
rabbit
All won hemp.
Now, Ilak meant that Sean would send warships to escort the ships carrying weapons through the Persian Gulf.
Due to the long coastline of Ilang, the entire Persian Gulf, including the Gulf of Oman, is within the strike range of the Ilang Navy.
Ilak had a hard time transporting weapons in, and he had to borrow from other countries.
Transporting weapons, borrowing through other countries, it costs money, and it is very slow, very inconvenient, and it can be detained at any time.
So, if Sean can help escort the escort, then Saddam would rather spend a little more.
Of course, there is also the intention of letting Sean touch with the Yilang Navy, and it would be better if he could sink the Yilang battleship.
Escort, this job can be done!
Sean is still quite excited, although there is a danger of doing it, but it is more likely that he can't do it.
Unless Elon is a madman, isn't there still Elac holding him back!
A few people discussed, and in principle, Sean agreed, and all that was left was to talk about money.
"Escort a trip, but also face the threat of the Yilang Navy, it may be done at any time, you are less, I will definitely not take it, the danger is too great, I have a warship, the cost is hundreds of millions."
"As for me, I'm not a person who takes advantage of others, let's save my capital, just 100 million, dollars, cash." Sean looked at Saddam Hussein with a smile.
Saddam's forehead was bruised, if it weren't for Sean's face as an American, he would have been scolded, it was so dark.
"How much does a warship cost me, how much does a Harpoon missile cost alone, 3 million, if it really starts, 20 million in a minute can't stop it, your 10 million is like letting me escort, then you find someone else, you see who dares in the world!" After some bargaining, Sean bit the price of 50 million and did not let go.
The rabbit's navy at this time is really not good, and it is not capable of delivering goods to the door.
The United States, the Soviet Union, Britain, and France are certainly capable, but that is the army, and it is enough to escort non-military facilities, and this kind of escort of weapons is not necessary to prepare for war.
And the only private person who has the ability to do this kind of escort work is the Sean family.
A unique business, so don't you ask for a price to the death!?
And for Ilak, borrowing from other countries, hundreds of tanks, hundreds of armored vehicles, artillery, directly from other people's land, are unwilling to give high prices.
Eventually, Sean promises that they will also be out of the ship carrying the cargo.
On the surface, this batch of cargo has nothing to do with Ilak, it is a cargo ship bound for Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
Send a dark mark.
50 million US dollars, and finally Saddam Hussein reluctantly agreed.
A $50 million security service order was signed, and it was the commercial contract that was signed between the two parties to characterize the order as a commercial activity.
After the order was signed, the two sides shook hands, and they were in a good mood.
Although Ilak also has a Wolf-class frigate, if they dare to dispatch this to escort the ship, how can Ilang not understand that it is a sea battle.
After it was over, Sean asked Saddam Hussein curiously how he came up with the idea of contacting the umbrella.
Saddam's answer made Sean look weird......
