"Director Liu, this is General Kanon, the logistics department of the Iranian Ministry of Defense..." Haliak ignored Liu Yijiu's difficulties, but introduced a group of Iranians to Liu Yijiu with an excited look on his face.

The hostage crisis in Tehran should have broken out. Under Khomeini's call, dozens of people in the US Embassy should have been controlled by them. After all, it is now the end of November 1979. Liu Yijiu did not remember very clearly the exact time of the hostage crisis in Tehran, but he knew that the entire hostage crisis lasted for a very long time.

The Pahlavi dynasty was supported by the Americans. The entire Iran has the F14 panda fighter jets that the Americans did not export to other worlds. This is the only country to export to the F14.

All the Americans support Iran is to prevent the Soviets from expanding their power in the Middle East. At the same time, Iran's oil is also very important for Americans.

However, the Americans supported the Pahlavi dynasty. After the fall of the Pahlavi dynasty, the United States terminated the weapons and equipment delivered to Iran. Although they had contact, their conditions were very harsh, especially in October when Pahlavi went to the United States to treat lymphoma, which completely lost control of the Iranian revolutionaries who had no good feelings for the Americans.

The 444-day hostage crisis in Tehran began.

"Director Liu, after several days of performance of your tanks and armored vehicles, we are very satisfied with the performance of your tanks and armored vehicles. I hope you can provide us with a batch of Dragon Guard tanks and bull armored vehicles from your country as soon as possible..." After introducing it, Carmen learned that the young man in front of him was the person in charge of these two weapon development units. At the same time, he also had the right to sell these weapons and equipment, and directly put forward their opinions.

When Liu Yijiu heard this, she smiled bitterly in her heart, but on the surface she was silent.

The Pahlavi Dynasty had a lot of funds, and it was proof that it was able to buy dozens of F14 Panda fighters from Americans for $80 million.

The Iranian government should have intercepted a lot of funds from the Pahlavi royal family, and when it was not sanctioned, Iran is still a major oil exporter. Under the current circumstances, they have sufficient funds.

It must not be cheaper for the Russians.

You know, after the war started, Iran was defeated by Iraq jointly supported by the United States and the Soviet Union and could not find the north. It lost a large number of tanks and heavy equipment. They lost twice as much as Iraq because of insufficient equipment.

If they had not obtained a large number of T72 from the Soviets in the later period and a large number of cheap 59 tanks from China, they would not have taken the initiative in the second phase of the war and invaded Iraqi borders.

"Director Wang, please take His Highness the Prince to our test site to see the performance of our tanks and armored vehicles." Liu Yijiu then remembered the existence of Sihanouk. This guy said he was rich, but compared to the new Iranian government with strong national strength and huge oil and foreign exchange, he had too few things in his hands.

Moreover, long-term procurement is in their interests.

During the entire Iran-Iran War, Iraq and Iran purchased more than a thousand T72 from the Soviets.

Their own Dragon Guard type was to target the tanks developed by the Soviet T72. They had to end their myths and let the evil Soviets cut off this huge source of profit. They dared to sell a garbage T72 of 250 dollars each. This is unbearable.

Facing the snobbery of Liu Yijiu, Sihanouk was also speechless.

But he couldn't say anything.

The scene in front of him made him believe that young Chinese people were not looking for a helping hand.

Liu Yijiu was not very familiar with the test site here. Under the leadership of Haliak, who had been staying here, he brought several Iranians into the barracks of the test site. The conditions here were very simple, but it was not very unacceptable for them.

Since 1973, Iraq and Iran, two wealthy oil exporting countries in the Middle East, have spent hundreds of billions of dollars to import advanced weapons and equipment from the Western world and the Soviet Union, becoming one of the top military powers in the world.

Of course, the Iran-Iraq War was commented by the world as a typical example of "advanced weapons fighting low-level wars". The consumption of advanced equipment is very terrifying.

More than half of the military expenditures of 200 billion US dollars are purchased for weapons and equipment. Can you not be moved by such fat?

Liu Yijiu will never admit it.

The Longwei Type 1 can be said to be prepared for the Iran-Iraq War. He did not even think about selling it to only one company, but both sides of the war were sold, so that the performance defects of the Longwei Type 1 could be discovered to the greatest extent.

"General Kanon. Our Dragon Guard Type 1 must have already understood combat performance. Especially the simple operation and easy driving, the only flaw is that the technical level is relatively high in maintenance. Compared with the weapons and equipment of Western countries and advanced equipment of the Soviet Union, our operation is much simpler..." Liu Yijiu naturally knew that whether it is Iraq or Iran, their soldiers' cultural level is generally not high.

This is very similar to the situation during this period of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

The Longwei type was originally developed in a targeted manner.

"Director Liu, we are very sure about this. Especially some auxiliary equipment of the operating system on the tanks has great benefits for improving our combat effectiveness. Therefore, we urgently need you to provide training sample cars and textbooks as soon as possible..." Cannon did not refute any refutation of Liu Yijiu's introduction.

Originally, they had no choice but to go to China. They hoped to purchase a large number of 59 tanks from China, but it was not easy to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

Since their leader Khomeini came to power, Saddam has begun to sharpen his sword. Iran is not a fool in this matter.

Who is the boss of the Middle East must fight?

In the entire Middle East, the two countries have been competing for the third place in the world's military strength.

The number of advanced weapons and equipment is greater than that of China except the Soviet Union and the United States.

Iran originally disdained China, which had backward weapons and equipment, but the combat effectiveness shown by China in the Vietnam War made them see that China is not without advanced weapons and equipment.

The Vietnamese's all-Sui army equipment troops were beaten to death by the Chinese, and there were no advanced weapons and equipment? This is nonsense.

Especially the Chinese anti-tank missiles can kill the most advanced T72 of the Soviets.

Iraq is negotiating with the Soviet Union to purchase T72, and the Americans' most advanced tanks, because the Pahlavi dynasty fell, especially now that the hostage crisis has occurred, the two countries have completely cut off diplomatic relations, so it is even less likely to pay them.

"If it is just a sample car for teaching and training materials, this is not a problem. However, we don't know how much you need..." Liu Yijiu looked at Harliak, but the other party didn't know at all. He probably didn't have the offer.

"Three hundred vehicles! We hope to deliver the faster the better. The price of two million US dollars is more appropriate!" Canon said to Liu Yijiu impatiently.

Liu Yijiu suddenly felt pain and looked at Harliak with anger.

When Harliak heard this number, he felt ache.

Liu Yijiu sold the tank to them for two million dollars because they were involved in the development of this advanced new tank, not for some other reason.

Even if the price is 2.5 million US dollars, one car will be more than 500,000 US dollars, and three hundred vehicles, it will be more than 150 million US dollars!

"Mr. Canon, I guess you will disappoint. Our tank has only been developed for less than a year so far. Moreover, various tests have not been completed, and there are still many key component modules that have not been installed. If the anti-armor module is not added and the air defense module is not installed, there is no problem with this price..." Liu Yijiu would definitely not foolishly agree to sell this medium tank specially used to fight the Soviet T72 tank at this price.

What's more, in some sense, this tank has led the world trend. It is no longer a simple tank, but a prototype of a war support weapon platform with a modern combat concept!

A T72 can be sold for 2.5 million to 3 million at the beginning. Although its Dragon Guard type is just a medium tank, its performance is much higher than theirs, so it will naturally not be sold at a low price.

Canon frowned immediately and looked at Harriak, who was embarrassed next to him with anger.

"Director Liu, my offer to them is to add anti-armor modules or air defense modules..." Harliak dared not look at Liu Yijiu's eyes.

You are not afraid of opponents like gods, but you are afraid of teammates like pigs.

This time, hundreds of millions of dollars of profit were lost, and Liu Yijiu wanted to strangle him to death.

"Mr. Canon, the price of two million US dollars is actually our production cost. Because Pakistan participated in the research, we gave them the cost price..." Liu Yijiu took a deep breath, not thinking about how much progress the more than one million US dollars could make in the new tank project. Seeing that Canon changed his face, he continued, "Since Pakistan has offered you two million US dollars, for the sake of our partners' face, even if there is no profit in the end, we agree to sell it to you at this price..."

With two million US dollars, Pakistan can't think of sharing profits from it.

"Liu, I'm sorry, this is what our President means..." Harliak said to Liu Yijiu very embarrassedly.

Liu Yijiu was stunned.

When did that bastard Ziahak hook up with Khomeini? Is it because they are all excited about Islam? Or because of the border between Iran and Pakistan? I haven't heard of how good the relationship between these two countries is! (To be continued.)
