1386 Saddam's courage
"There is no way to do this. The production capacity of our tanks is impossible to reach 3,000 vehicles per year. The current limit capacity is only 600 vehicles! Moreover, it is impossible for our production capacity to be all on this." Liu Yijiu shook his head.
I measured it in my mind that such a huge order, even if it is $2 million per vehicle, will eventually be a billion dollar profit, not mentioning the relevant ammunition and missiles.
"No, we think China can achieve such production capacity..." The Iranians seem to be very confident about China's production potential.
However, Liu Yijiu could only smile helplessly.
Liu Suxue, who was on the other hand, was silent at all. Anyway, this matter had nothing to do with him.
"You think too much of us. China is not the Soviet Union, nor the United States. It has only been twenty or thirty years since it has completed industrialization. At the same time, the production difficulty of these tanks is not as small as the second-generation tanks. The products have many parts and complex production processes..." Liu Yijiu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "At our limit, even if the orders are outsourced and the two manufacturing bases start construction with full horsepower, it is impossible to achieve such a high production capacity!"
"How much can you produce in a year?" Alpha asked Liu Yijiu.
"Integrate all our production capacity and give up the task of producing civilian products, there will be no more than one thousand vehicles!" Liu Yijiu calculated carefully.
541 and 617 are produced with full horsepower, and only this number of tanks can be produced in a year.
Moreover, domestic orders must continue to be delayed.
"It's been too long. Moreover, our Pakistani brothers have also ordered thousands of vehicles..." Samnira shook her head.
When Liu Yijiu heard this, he immediately raised his head and stared at them.
It seems that these orders are in the same batch?
"These tanks, which are ours, are also Iraqi. Iraq will not directly contact China." Alfa said to Liu Yijiu, "General Liu, you can seriously consider this condition. Most of our cash will be paid in this time. At the same time, you can also use the corresponding oil fields to mortgage..."
Weapons and equipment have been changing to oil fields, and have been very prosperous in recent years.
Iran and Iraq, which are short of money, use a large number of oil fields as collateral in arms transactions with China.
Although this is not a good thing for China, and even taking very big risks, Liu Yijiu did not feel at a disadvantage. China's oil equipment took this opportunity to enter the Middle East market.
The United States and Europe have always been dissatisfied with such things.
It even had this impact on Iraq.
"This is not a payment problem. As you said, Pakistan also placed an order of 1,000 vehicles. They have part of the production capacity, but our core power systems, tank guns, etc. all require us to produce, and their annual production capacity is only 200 vehicles. If you really insist on such conditions, I think we can only give up this part of the order regretfully."
Liu Yijiu said with retreating as an advance.
It was like a cooked duck. It was delivered to the mouth, but the duck didn't fly, but he couldn't eat it.
Because the duck had to be eaten all at once, but his stomach couldn't hold so much.
"What if one thousand vehicles were delivered in the first year? Seven hundred of them were delivered within half a year..." Samnira never expected that Liu Yijiu would give up their order like this.
Before that, Liu Yijiu even wanted them to purchase more Chinese tanks.
Long Wei was indeed effectively tested in the war.
Liu Yijiu is measuring.
In recent years, after completing orders from several countries, they are producing the 1,000 orders from the military, and are only unsaturated at a production rate of 200 vehicles every year, in order to ensure production capacity. Now, unless all the tanks that the military has equipped are delivered, it is possible to complete the delivery of 700 vehicles in half a year. In the first three months, the production of various materials and preliminary preparations are basically impossible to expand the supply.
To increase production, it is also necessary to squeeze out other productions.
"This is impossible! Even if we have already equipped the troops, we can only deliver 500 vehicles." Liu Yijiu shook his head.
The troops have been equipped with 600 vehicles, and the number of Blue Army equipment is not too large. After all, it is only used for combat experiments.
The Blue Army currently has less than 70 Dragon Guards and about 40 Destroyers.
The military will definitely not agree to pull out all the Long Guard tanks that have been equipped to the army and deliver them to foreign countries.
There is a difference between the foreign trade version and the domestic self-used version.
Before delivery, some modifications are required.
"At least 700 vehicles." Iran was not willing to let go.
"Director Liu, at most half a year, the international situation will change. Once these tanks cannot be in place, our situation will be very dangerous..." Samnira said to Liu Yijiu sincerely.
No matter how Liu Yijiu asked, he had no explanation at all.
In the end, Liu Yijiu could only say that he had to think carefully and had to return to his country to ask for instructions and report to his superiors, but the other party did not continue to talk.
"What happened? Why didn't any information come back before?" Liu Yijiu was speechless.
If Liu Suxue had passed the news back to China before, he would have been fully prepared.
Such a huge piece of fat.
There are also quite a lot of helicopters, but they are still within the acceptable production range of China, after all, there are only a few dozen.
Two hundred fighter jets will have an impact on domestic equipment, and thousands of tanks cannot be rejected by the country. The problem is that the required delivery time is completely incompatible with international trade rules.
China needs this order. Only in this way can the military's dressing plan continue and more funds will be invested in the research and development of military technology.
According to some domestic leaders, it is very likely that they will blindly expand production capacity.
After completing this batch of orders, the entire production capacity will be oversupplied, which will be another troublesome thing.
What's more, this requires a huge team of technical workers, and at the same time, the entire system needs to expand its production capacity from the source. Raw materials are not a problem, but the question is what to do after expanding production capacity.
"Iran and Iraq have been negotiating this aspect, which is the agreement that has only been reached in recent times. Moreover, according to our news, it is very likely that Iraq will use all other equipment to attract American firepower in order to make the United States fall a big fuss this time. When the Americans think that Iraq is destroyed, a large number of Dragon Guards will attack from the Iranian border, directly rush into Kuwait from the front line of Abadan, and pack dumplings from the US armored forces from the rear..."
"Is this possible? If the United States does not invade Iraq? Or, at this time, who can control it? Once the United States starts war, it will definitely not all attack into Iraq..." Liu Yijiu was completely shocked.
How courage does Saddam need to have to make such a decision?
You know, they have more than 4,000 tanks.
"You should know this. As long as Iraq enters Kuwait, international oil prices will rise. Once Iraq starts war, two major oil-producing countries in the Middle East will have problems. Once northern Africa is in war, oil prices will soar..." Liu Suxue licked his lips.
He is completely the driving force behind the scenes.
For him, such things are like playing games and will not have any impact on them at all.
(This chapter is specially updated to celebrate the birthday of Ji Wan.)
"So, your operating team can start preparing."
"What if the Americans discovered their conspiracy? Their satellite system is not for a good meal!" Such a huge armored cluster moved, especially at the confrontation between the two Iranian borders, it was impossible for the Americans to know.
Although it is not as exaggerated as the Americans themselves boast that they can see the appearance of people on the ground through satellite systems, for Liu Yijiu, the Americans' military satellite network system can fully notice the movement of these armored clusters.
"This is thanks to the Iraqi-Iraq War. When Saddam launched the war, the Americans made great contributions. Now the Americans asked Saudi Arabia to join forces with Kuwait to force them to debt. Do you think that with Saddam's character, he will not retaliate?" Liu Suxue's explanation made Liu Yijiu completely abandon the doubts in his heart. "In addition, Iraq and Kuwait are both in the same oil vein, but Kuwait is able to extract oil very easily because of its lower terrain. However, Iraq cannot do so, they need to pay higher costs. Saddam proposed to OPEC to reduce oil production and increase oil prices to help them repay the debts owed by the Iraqi-Iraq War. As a result, under the instructions of the United States, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait not only did not agree to reduce production, but also increased production. International crude oil prices have been falling..."
Liu Yijiu didn’t understand what Liu Suxue said.
The problem is that he can't understand why Iraq can reach such a cooperation with Iran.
Obviously, this is very dangerous.
For Iran, once Iraqi tanks are on their side, it is entirely possible that they will take advantage of such an opportunity to raid Iran.
"Oil! The price of oil!" Liu Suxue emphasized.
Without changing the current situation, there is no possibility of oil prices growing at all.
The biggest beneficiary is Iran.
"These days, the oil transportation pipeline between Iran and Iraq has been under construction. After the war breaks out, Iraq will transport oil through Iran, and Iran controls their economy. What do you think the final result will be?"
Now, Liu Yijiu understood completely.
Chapter completed!
