Just when Saho was frantically suppressing the excitement in his heart, Ivanovich suddenly said this.

At that moment, Saho calmed down!

India is the seventh largest country in the world in terms of land area, with the exception of the western and northern regions, the whole plains are predominant, suitable for the development of agriculture and animal husbandry.

However, before the fifties, India was still in a state of under-eating, and then in order to change this situation, India started an agricultural reform called the "Green Plan", and then after more than ten years of development, India's agricultural output has increased greatly, after all, the land resources are there, and the total arable land area is a lot.

Even after a few decades, India's population soared to the world's first, and in addition to domestic consumption, they are still the world's largest grain exporters, because they are located in the tropics and subtropics, the grain matures quickly, and the area of arable land is very large, so the natural grain production is high.

"Shhh Mr. Ivanovich, I need to report back to you on this request. ”

"After all, although our domestic grain production is not low at present, because our total transaction volume is very high, there is a great demand for food, not to mention that what you ask for is 50 percent lower than the international food price."

"The amount of money involved is already very large, and I don't have the authority to decide."

Finally, Saho hesitated to say this, while Ivanovich didn't seem to care at all, nodded and said:

"Of course, please!"

"And that's the end of our meeting for today?"

Faced with Ivanovic's statement, Saho quickly waved his hand and said:

"No, you don't! Not at all! Ten minutes! An hour at most, and I will give you a satisfactory answer! ”

"Please drink tea and wait, I'll be back soon!"

After Saho finished speaking, Ivanovich nodded in approval, and then he hurriedly left the conference room with a few people and reported the situation to the above, the reason why he was so eager was because in his opinion, the problem of food was not worth mentioning at all, and it didn't matter if he lost a little money, as long as he could get a weapon, he could say anything!

However, if the meeting is over, wait until the next meeting, and Ivanovich changes his tune, it will be troublesome!

And in the conference room, Ivanovich was drinking tea, and his eyes were shining.

In 79, because the Soviet Union intervened in Afghanistan, it was sanctioned by the United States and many grain export allies, such as Canada, Argentina, Australia, and many European countries.

The reason why the United States took the lead was not only because the United States was the hegemon, but also because the United States was a large agricultural country and the Soviet Union had the largest share of grain imports.

It stands to reason that such sanctions should be effective, but the end result is not.

As for the reason, it is very simple, these countries participating in the sanctions are not of the same mind at all, such as Argentina, which just signed the contract yesterday and regretted it the next day, and then while other countries were still sanctioning, Kuku was selling grain to the Soviet Union, and then it was discovered by Australia, and Australia was in a hurry! Argentina counts money at home, we are eating? Who can stand this! So he also began to sell grain to the Soviet Union.

Then Canada couldn't sit still, but because they were next to the United States, they didn't dare to sell the treasury, they only dared to sell on a small scale, and when they saw that Canada began to sell, all European countries were completely unsuffocated, and it was also crazy to sell the treasury, and at a time, the grain merchants and farmers in the United States could not stand it, because the scale of agriculture in the United States was too large, and the domestic grain production was completely excessive, resulting in no export is no profit, and they were also anxious to make money, so they protested, scolded in Congress, and began to sell the treasury, and finally saw that the United States began to sell, Canada is completely out of tension, from a small-scale sale, but also into a kuku sale.

The end result was that the Soviet Union bought much more grain than in previous years that year!

But the problem also arises, the reason why everyone is willing to sell to the Soviet Union is not because of good relations with the Soviet Union, but because the Soviet Union got a large amount of dollar foreign exchange in the oil crisis, waving green coins is to buy, no one can have money without earning, right? So the USSR bought grain at a heavy premium!

And this serious grain premium has also extended from 80 years to 83 years now.

Nowadays, with the continuous rise in international oil prices, although the Soviet Union's foreign exchange is not lacking, the domestic economy is relieved, but because the paving is very open, so the overall economy still has a certain pressure, so they have thought of such a way, that is, to use weapons to "semi-force" to exchange grain, and then achieve the goal of forcing the prices of other grain exporting countries to fall.

After all, if they can get a large amount of low-cost grain from India that is far lower than the normal price, then they can reduce the grain purchases from Europe, the United States, and Argentina, and if they buy less, the price will fall, unless they form a monopoly, but in terms of their virtue, it is obvious that it is impossible to hold up, and everyone has their own interests.

Besides, the high-priced grain has been sold for more than three years, and it should be satisfied!

Less than ten minutes.

"Bang dang!"

With the sound of a heavy door opening, the head of the Indian negotiators, Saho, returned to the conference room again, only to see him gasping for breath, and quickly returned to his seat, which was opposite Ivanovic, and said at the same time:

"Mr. Ivanovich, the above agreed to this plan."

"And I think that in the future, we can continue similar cooperation, we will provide food, you will provide weapons, and complement each other's advantages!"

"And we can provide more food! More! ”

Even Saho, in order to increase his bargaining chips, emphasized India's grain production capacity, and Ivanovic was obviously very satisfied, nodded with a smile and said:

"No problem, let's start signing the contract!"

"As long as you can provide parity and enough food, even the aircraft carriers you want, it's not impossible"

As soon as Ivanovich's words fell, Saho's eyes almost burst out, and then he couldn't hold back any longer, laughed and stretched out his slightly dark right hand, his head shook rapidly, and said at the same time:

"Hahaha! Mr. Ivanovich! ”

"Happy working together!"

In the end, the two sides shook hands vigorously and signed this cooperation, with a total price of more than two billion dollars!

Domestic time, the fifteenth day of the first month.

The Yangge team of the shipyard is singing and dancing for the Lantern Festival, the whole shipyard is full of red lanterns, a jubilant appearance, as for the small hall of the shipyard, it is even more red and green, because after the shipyard has been transformed from Yuntai Shipyard to the Red Star Consortium Shipyard, the first shipbuilding project is finally about to be approved!

"Now, I announce!"

"The Seawolf-class missile boat project was officially established!"

In the small auditorium, Wang Ye's voice accompanied by the sound of the current from the horn spread throughout the entire space, and there were at least a few hundred people at the scene, most of them were various experts in the shipyard field who had been transferred by the two ministries and commissions recently, some senior and some intermediate, involving all aspects of shipbuilding, as well as workers' representatives, as well as administrative and logistical support personnel.

"Good! Hahaha! ”

"Applause! Applaud! ”

"Long live the Consortium!"

At the moment when Wang Ye's words fell, there were deafening applause and cheers at the scene, which directly pushed the atmosphere of the scene to the highest point.

After all, for these people present, the vast majority of ship researchers have not participated in the real warship project from beginning to end for a long time, because the navy has not established any warships in recent years, and has been tinkering with old ships, but even so, many people can't even take the turn of these tinkering work, and can only do some more basic research and technology accumulation, and these jobs, which is more interesting than real shipbuilding from beginning to end? Even if it's just missile boats!

Not to mention the workers' representatives and administrators, they are all old people in the shipyard, they are eager to work, they want the shipyard to be brilliant, this is the picture they have dreamed of, but in the past many years, their expectations have been disappointed again and again, because the country has no money, cannot build many new warships, and naturally cannot assign new production tasks to the shipyards, they can only be disappointed year after year.

Until today, a new project was established, and the missile boat was born!

"Long live the Consortium!"

"Hooray! Long live the missile boats! ”

"Hahaha!"

Finally, the sound of joy flew out of the small auditorium, it was like a flying spark, gradually igniting the entire shipyard, and everywhere it went, the sound of cheers rang out, spreading farther and farther, until finally the whole shipyard was echoing with excited shouts, hovering over the shipyard in the cold wind, unable to disperse for a long time.

The project initiation ceremony is a ceremony, and after the ceremony, the formal work begins.

As soon as Wang Ye returned to his office, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Hearing Wang Ye's voice, the staff member walked in, handed over a letter, and said to Wang Ye at the same time:

"Factory director, the letter sent by Yanjing said that it was news from Saudi Arabia."

Suddenly, Wang Ye suddenly realized, took the letter and opened it, there were two telegraphs in it, and then Wang Ye picked up the first piece of paper and read it quickly.

"It seems that the United States is in a hurry!"

"How long has it been since the news was delivered through Pakistan?"

After reading it, Wang Ye couldn't help but sigh with emotion, in the letter, Sattler only described Blake's request to meet, asked Wang Ye's opinion, and did not say specific questions and his own speculation, mainly for confidentiality, after all, the confidentiality of the telegram is not high, and mentioned, the interview of the specific situation.

Then, Wang Ye picked up the second letter, and smiled directly after reading it.

"Good, you're starting to take the initiative?"

"Well, I hope you're sincere, otherwise"

In Wang Ye's opinion, Catherine and Elizabeth's application for armed forces is something that is completely worthy of encouragement, after all, if there is no strong enough gun, then nothing can be done, in other words, they are not ready to mess around, but want to really do some work, but whether they are selfish or not, Wang Ye can't be sure at present, but as long as it is handled properly, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Thinking of this, Wang Ye picked up the pen and began to reply:

"Sattaler, my brother, I'm about to leave for Tanzania, and when I get there, I'll contact you again about the specific meeting."

"Your armed men will be in place soon, wait!"

It was also two pieces of paper, stuffed into an envelope, Wang Ye handed it to the staff not far away, and at the same time ordered:

"How did you come, how did you send it back!"

Facing Wang Ye's order, the staff member nodded and said:

"Yes!"

Then he left the office.

In the afternoon, Wang Ye continued to hold a meeting with the technical staff of the missile boat project team.

The next day, that is, on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Wang Ye got on the car to Quancheng, and after arriving in Quancheng, Wang Ye first went to visit Director Liang, and then visited Commander Song together, in Commander Song's office, Commander Song shook hands with Wang Ye heavily, and then said seriously:

"Wang Ye, I'll hand over these 5,000 people."

"It is said that Ci is not in charge of the army, and there are dead and wounded on the battlefield, which is a normal situation, and I can't let them come down from the battlefield one by one, so naturally I can't ask you to do this."

"So I have only one request for you!"

At that moment, Wang Ye, who was held by Commander Song, nodded, and then Commander Song said:

"Although they are all discharged, they still represent our country!"

"If you go this time, you must not lose the face of our country! If you want to fight, you must play our style! ”

"Do you understand?"

In this regard, Wang Ye nodded seriously and said:

"I understand!"

"Just wait for our good news!"

After Wang Ye finished speaking, Commander Song smiled, patted Wang Ye on the shoulder and said:

"I'm sure you're going to give us a big surprise!"

"However, if we can not go in person, then we should not go in person, after all, we are instructors, right?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene laughed at the same time, and it was obvious that Commander Song was still reluctant to let these soldiers go, so he couldn't help but say so.

Early the next morning, Wang Ye arrived at Quancheng Airport by car.

I saw that the two passenger planes were already waiting on the tarmac, and at the same time, there were the last group of soldiers who came with Wang Ye, and the other fighters had arrived in Tanzania on the chartered flight of the consortium in the past few days.

"Whew!"

"Africa, I'm coming!"

Walking to the top of the gangway, Wang Ye turned his head and looked around, and said with a sigh.

Moments later, the airliner glides off and heads straight for Tanzania, tens of thousands of kilometers away!
