Chapter 281: The Two Yis Who Know the Goods
In the carriage, hearing this Jia leader say this, Wang Ye couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, history has played out again, and it seems that he has not been affected in the slightest because of what he has done.
Thinking of this, Wang Ye's eyes flashed, and he asked tentatively:
"Leader, listen to your tone, they have so many people."
"Are you going to buy a big deal?"
Faced with Wang Ye's question, when he originally talked about the problem of the troops, Leader Jia, who had a somewhat low tone, instantly couldn't hold back, directly patted Wang Ye's thigh, and said with a hearty smile:
"That's a must! It must be a big buy! ”
"Just yesterday, after seven or eight days of all-night battles, we have negotiated a big framework with the procurement teams of their two countries."
"Wang Ye, guess! Guess how many? Hey! You never guessed! ”
After Leader Jia finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Wang Ye with a blazing gaze, with an expectant expression, waiting for Wang Ye's guess.
Under the gaze of this Jia leader, Wang Ye thought for a moment, then raised his hand and said with a smile:
"Five hundred million! I guess at least 500 million! ”
"Leader, did you say I guessed right?"
The reason why Wang Ye guessed 500 million was not just a lie, but for a reason.
In normal history, almost two years ago, that is, in the summer of 81, Iraq purchased a batch of materials from the country, involving more than 3,000 Type 69 tanks and tank rescue vehicles, with a total amount of an astonishing $1.6 billion, and you must know that the foreign exchange reserves at that time were only 1.2 billion, which can be said to be quite terrifying.
Subsequently, just over a month after the order was signed, Iraq purchased another batch of aircraft, mainly fighters of the Jian-7 variant, with a total value of $250 million.
Last year, in '82, Iraq came over to consume $100 million worth of goods, mainly including Red Arrow-73 anti-tank missiles and other equipment.
As for this year, in normal history, Iraq will come over and spend two and a half hundred million, mainly 122 mm rockets and small-caliber rockets, that is, the kind launched on the shoulder, the total number of which has reached a staggering three million.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Ye guessed the number of 500 million.
In fact, this number is already the result of Wang Ye's exaggeration, after all, this Jia leader looks very excited, the number should not be particularly small, if it is only tens of millions or even one or two hundred million, he should not be so excited.
At this moment, Wang Ye's voice just fell.
"Hahaha!"
In an instant, the laughter of this Jia leader suddenly sounded, and he shook his head with a red face, and said in a loud voice:
"Director Wang, then you guessed wrong!"
"I'm telling you! This time, the orders from both of them add up, and there are 1.2 billion! ”
"Dollars! The unit is in USD! Hahaha! ”
Accompanied by the voice of Leader Jia, a stunned expression instantly appeared on Wang Ye's face, because this number had completely exceeded Wang Ye's expectations!
"How? Surprised? ”
In fact, the leaders were also surprised! I really didn't expect it! These two have such a big mouth, tsk! ”
"Of course, the lion's share is Iraq, which is no more than a billion."
"Iran's goods are relatively small, only 200 million!"
Seeing Wang Ye's surprised expression on his face, that Jia leader was obviously very satisfied, and said with a smile.
Although he could hear that he wanted to be low-key, the pride and joy in his tone could not be suppressed at all, making it sound like he was showing off around the bush.
"Yes! What a surprise! How can there be so many? ”
"What did they buy?"
Wang Ye didn't deny it, nodded and said, and then Leader Jia raised his fingers, wrenched his fingers and said:
"That's a lot, up to the fighter jets, we want both J-6 and J-7."
"Even our J-8 they want, this time the leaders are ruthless and decide to sell it!"
"Anyway, the sky is good, and there is no green dollar, our own family talks about our own family affairs, and our fighter jets are a big difference with the United States and the Soviet Union!"
"It's not interesting to hide and hide, it's better to take this opportunity to exchange more dollars, and have enough money! In the future, whether it is to engage in research and development by yourself, or to buy some advanced technology from foreign countries, it is a good choice, it is better than holding a backward fighter jet and being a baby wholeheartedly, the times are different, and you have to be flexible! ”
"Besides, the leaders have said that actual combat is the only criterion for testing weapons."
"Now that we've come up with it, and we've been testing it for a long time, and we're actually almost ready in all aspects, it's time to pull it out and practice, and see if it's a dragon or a worm on the battlefield."
"When the time comes, if there is one, then change it, and if there is none, it will be encouraged!"
Hearing what Leader Jia said, the expression of amazement on Wang Ye's face became more and more exaggerated, this was not pretended, but from the heart, because Wang Ye never thought that why the leaders were suddenly so unrestrained now, and they didn't even have much equipment like J-8, and they took out and sold the equipment that was at the bottom of the box?
"Cow! That's awesome! ”
"The courage of the leaders is really admirable!"
In the end, Wang Ye gave a thumbs up and said in amazement, and Leader Jia also said to himself:
"In addition to fighter jets, there are tanks, artillery, rocket artillery and the like."
"As for what mines! Machine guns! Rifles! Rockets! There are so many kinds of ammunition and so on that I can't stop talking about them. ”
Hearing this, Wang Ye breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably in his heart, and couldn't help but say with emotion:
"Good! That's great! ”
"Now our military industrial system can breathe a long sigh of relief!"
Faced with Wang Ye's statement, this Jia leader nodded and happily agreed:
"Yes! 1.2 billion dollars, a big breath! ”
"Hey! Who would have thought that? ”
Then there was a short silence in the car, and Wang Ye frowned slightly and fell into thought, because he suddenly found that this huge order was a little abnormal, and the reason why it was abnormal was because it shouldn't be so big!
All this is related to the course of the Iran-Iraq war and the changes in international relations.
In normal history, the Iran-Iraq war lasted for a total of eight years, from the beginning of 80 to the end of 88, and these eight years can basically be divided into three stages.
The early period, from 80 to 82, can be called a "preliminary war".
At this stage, Iraq, under the command of Sadamu, provoked this war, originally he thought that he could quickly end the war through a "blitzkrieg", but he did not expect that Iran's military literacy was remarkable, and it actually withstood their attack, and then the war once entered a situation of pull and stalemate.
The middle period, from 83 to 85, can be called the "stage of fierce battles".
During this period, the war between the two sides has lasted for many years, and both sides are anxious from the mentality, so both sides want to quickly win a certain result, defeat the enemy and then quickly end the war, so the intensity of the war has increased suddenly, but it is still unable to play a decisive advantage.
At the same time, at the end of this stage, the United States did not want Iraq and Iran to continue to fight because of the strategy of increasing oil production, so it began to restrict the export of weapons, while the Soviet Union was unable to support the relevant arms support for Iran because of its own economic situation, so it also began to restrict arms exports.
The later period, from 86 to 88, can be called the "end of the war".
At this stage, the two sides are exhausted and unable to support a large-scale war, leaving only skirmishes on the ground and destroying each other's oil tankers in order to strangle each other's economic lifelines in order to achieve victory.
Throughout the eight-year war, changes in the situation also determined the course of trade between Iraq and Iran and their countries.
In the early stage, Iraq bought tanks once on a large scale, and the rest was basically a small amount, while Iran did not trade with the country at all at first, after all, they were behind the Soviet Union.
In the middle stage, Iraq's domestic procurement is still proceeding on a relatively stable curve, because at this stage, the United States is still fully maintaining their arms exports, while Iran has changed, because the Soviet Union's national strength has begun to decline, their arms supply is insufficient, and all of them are Soviet-made weapons, Iran has also begun to seek domestic trade to make up for the lack of gap.
But in any case, in fact, the total trade volume of these two stages is not too high.
Really get high, until the middle and late stages!
Because the United States and the Soviet Union hardly sell weapons anymore, and even Western countries don't sell them anymore, these two countries have no choice but to expand their trade with their countries.
In the end, it took eight years and more than 14 billion dollars.
It is precisely because of this money that the military industrial system has breathed a sigh of relief, and has given the relevant research institutes and military factories a new lease of life, so that devastating results will not occur, which will then lead to the large-scale collapse of the scientific research system, and this will also lay a solid foundation for the explosion of the level of military scientific research after the new century in the next 10 years or so.
In this way, the anomaly is obvious!
Now that we are at the beginning of '83, it stands to reason that Iraq and Iran will have sufficient weapons from the United States and the Soviet Union, and there is no reason for them to buy aggressively in the east.
Although the United States wants to mediate between Iraq and Iran, it is obvious that they cannot take measures to cut off the supply of weapons, because if they cut off the supply, the Soviet Union will not be able to "reach a tacit understanding" with them to stop the supply of weapons, because the current Soviet Union has eaten the dividends of war and oil, and they have no reason?
"Shhh Leader, a question suddenly occurred to me. ”
"How did this Iraq and Iran suddenly place such a big order? Didn't they reveal any information or information? ”
Then, Wang Ye hesitated for a second and asked this question, and the Jia leader hurriedly said:
"Having said some! Although it is only a few words, I can guess a lot of questions. ”
"Iraq is because of the United States, it is said that the United States wants them to cease fire and peace talks, Sa Damu does not want peace talks, and is worried that the United States will cut off the supply of weapons, plus the old United States things are too expensive, so they found us, it can be regarded as a rainy day!"
"As for the Iranian side, it is said that it is because the Soviet Union is running out of supplies, and it seems that the consumption on the Afghan and Indian sides is too large"
With the voice of Leader Jia, Wang Ye understood everything at that moment!
Has history changed? It seems that it has not changed, but in fact, it has changed completely, although the process is different, but for the country, the result seems to be the same, that is, those huge orders, they are still coming, and they came earlier than in the previous history, and at the same time they are even larger!
"Shhh According to this statement, the follow-up orders between the two Irans will be more and more and bigger! ”
In the end, Wang Ye gasped and came to this conclusion, which was not something Wang Ye said casually, but after the analysis of this information, it was inferred with reason and evidence.
As for the reason, it's actually quite simple.
That is the 83 years at the moment, which is completely different from the 83 years in the past.
In the past history, the American actor has been on stage for two years, completed the initial digestion and absorption, in other words, he has gained a firm foothold in the Black Palace, he is different from his previous one, his previous one was relatively low-key, generally known as a "good person", quite "friendly" in international affairs, and has accumulated a lot of reputation for the United States, and this actor is much sharper, and has begun to become strong internationally, in a sense, it can be regarded as accumulation.
So after the actor came to power, he took a variety of measures to try to contain the Soviet Union internationally, trying to defeat the giant and become a unique hegemon in the world, the most important of which is, of course, to win over allies to increase oil production, and the incidental measure, that is, the Star Wars program.
On the Soviet side, on the other hand, the situation is getting worse.
Originally, the "color output" of the Soviet Union relied on the respect and love of everyone around the world from the heart, while the wild Xunzong wanted to engage in a patriarchal system, hoping that the Soviet Union could command everything of the younger brother.
Therefore, in the later period of Xunzong's reign, he meddled in the internal affairs of a large number of younger brothers' countries, and then lost the good reputation of the Soviet Union.
In this way, word of mouth has gone and gone, and the economy is even more so.
Finally, in 82 years, with the death of Xunzong, there was some turmoil in the Soviet Union, and it began to inevitably go downhill, after Saudi oil production began to increase in 85 years, global oil prices plummeted, coupled with the arms race brought about by Star Wars, the Soviet economy was hit hard, unable to import food, domestic famine was everywhere, and the ideological slippage above, and finally the giant ushered in the twilight and stumbled towards death.
But.
This was history, but now it's completely different!
First of all, the United States, the oil production increase plan has actually been substantial "abort", not to mention the increase in production, according to the relevant data released by OPEC, since last autumn, the world's crude oil shipments have decreased by at least 20% year-on-year, and this figure is still rising, which has led to the continuous increase in oil prices.
It is conceivable that the actor in the Black Palace in the United States must be angry and scolding his mother.
Not to mention, the United States has also started a war in Africa, which is completely different from the history of the past.
On the other hand, the Soviet Union, oil prices continued to increase, their economy was further relaxed, and the war was no longer a burden to them, they ate a lot of oil economic dividends through the war, in a sense, the strength and peak of the Xunzong era were not disturbed in the slightest because of the death of the Xunzong, but mysteriously continued!
The United States is under great pressure, while the Soviet Union is like a rainbow.
In this way, it is not difficult to imagine.
The Soviet Union, which has already reaped the dividends of war and oil, will never reach the same tacit agreement with the United States as it did in history, and the two sides will cut off arms supplies at the same time in an attempt to cease fire between Iraq and Iran.
In the face of this attitude of the Soviet Union, the United States cannot unilaterally cut off supplies, because Iraq cannot withstand it!
Then the future war between Iraq and Iran will only become more and more intense, until the last drop of blood of these two countries is shed, and the whole process of bloodshed, is an unimaginably huge interest, these two countries once spent hundreds of billions of dollars to buy weapons from the United States and the Soviet Union, now this number will only be more.
And what is left for the country?
Although the United States and the Soviet Union are no longer cut off, it seems that there are fewer domestic orders, but in fact this may not be the case, because the cake of the Iran-Iraq war market has become bigger, as long as the domestic price of weapons is right, there will still be a large number of orders.
Not to mention, the Soviet Union is now providing multi-front support and has begun to be overstretched, and the United States has also opened the African battlefield, can their productivity be so terrifying?
When the time comes, the part of the productivity that is not enough, won't the country be able to have a good time?
"I hope so!"
In the end, the leader of Jia said this with longing, and when he finished sighing, he continued:
"That's right, Director Wang."
"The heads of the purchasing groups of the two countries want to see you!"
"I guess you're going to get rich this time."
Hearing this, Wang Ye's eyes couldn't help but light up, of course Wang Ye was happy that the military industrial system was rich, after all, it was all a system, all for the country, but Wang Ye was even happier when the Red Star Consortium made money, because this was his dearest!
"Shhh It seems that Iraq and Iran are also masters of goods! ”
"Then I'll have to get to know them! Hahaha! ”
Accompanied by Wang Ye's ridicule, the hearty laughter of the two of them sounded in the carriage.
