The huge order, with a total contract amount of more than US$2 billion, but Iraq proposed to use oil fields to mortgage it in terms of payment.

Liu Yijiu had an opinion on Iraq, so naturally he would not agree.

"General, in the current world, there is no such precedent to follow. Even if I agree, I am interested in future development potential, but when the war between your country and Iran is not sure how long it will last, we cannot take such risks. Moreover, without funds, we cannot start production." Although the other party's order amount is not small, Liu Yijiu was not interested at all.

Although Iraq's oil fields are what he needs, now Iraq's crude oil is basically connected to the domestic oil pipelines, and Saudi Arabia helps transport the export port.

"It is true, general, in principle, we can only accept about 20% of the payment for goods and use oil fields or oil for collateral. Otherwise, our country will not approve exports. There are some advanced weapons and equipment in it." Iraq has not suppressed the price too much. In Saddam's idea, oil fields are in their hands, and many oil fields are now suspended due to war.

The reason why Liu Yijiu was unwilling to use all oil fields to pay for this batch of weapons and equipment was because he was preparing to stop Iran from launching a ship attack war at the beginning, but now he has no such idea. Saddam now has the dual support of the United States and the Soviet Union, so he naturally would not take them seriously. Except for the Dragon Guard tanks, the rest of these weapons and equipment are ordinary weapons, but the prices are generally not high.

Saudi Arabia's confidence that made him inflated was hit in Iraq

Once Iran launches a ship attack war, Iraq will also retaliate. In the narrow Red Sea, tankers will be attacked by a large number of anti-ship missiles in Saudi Arabia, as well as the tactics of air defense missiles they invented to attack tankers, which will prevent Iraq's oil from transporting to China.

"If this happens, we will not be able to purchase so many weapons and equipment. We would like to express our deep gratitude to you for your arrival. Director Liu, let's do this, the number of Dragon Guard tanks we purchased from your country remains unchanged. Other weapons and equipment are not needed." Kanlam received Saddam's instructions and said with a serious look on his face.

Qi Hao did not expect that the other party would use such means to force them.

I was immediately dissatisfied, but I didn't show it, but hoped to fight for something.

Before Liu Yijiu could speak, he said to Kanlam: "General, if you feel that cash payment is under pressure, we can reduce the payment ratio a little."

"We have no way to pay for the reduction and reduction. You must know that we have been fighting with the evil Khomeini for two years. In the past two years, countless weapons and ammunition have been consumed. The losses of just tanks have exceeded 600, and the losses of fighter jets are also very large. We need to supplement our air force equipment and also strengthen the safety protection of our tankers. If you agree, we can pay 20% of the cash."

Kalam's words made Qi Hao a little desperate.

Before, they were not like this.

When Liu Yijiu heard this, he immediately laughed, "General, I don't know that your country purchases weapons and equipment from the United States and the Soviet Union, especially the United States. Many of your crude oil are exported to the United States and NATO countries. Will they agree that your country uses oil to pay the equipment payments for the two sides do not have much oil trade."

Liu Yijiu's words also reminded Qi Hao. He understood Saddam very well.

If they agree to the arms embargo on Iran and refuse to upgrade and support the weapons sold to Iran, negotiations will be much easier.

Iran now has only one source of weapons like China. NATO countries have not yet resolved the issue of American hostages. Although Iran's weapons have not been clearly banned, they have not delivered the weapons and equipment that should be delivered to Iran.

Many of Iran's conventional weapons come from Pakistan, while heavy weapons come from China.

Iraq has weapons and equipment provided by the Soviet Union, and the United States has also begun to provide weapons and equipment to them. This has more choices and is very ruthless in terms of price, and at the same time, the conditions proposed are far more.

They do not need medium-range strategic missiles like Saudi Arabia. Anyway, Israel is far away from Iraq, with a huge Jordanian area in the middle as a buffer.

"In addition, if you cancel other orders, I don't know how your government hopes to pay the cost of 500 Dragon Guard tanks. This is a total value of US$100 million, accounting for the general share of the entire contract. General, I don't know how your country is planning to pay." Liu Yijiu's voice was very cold.

Although you don’t want to have a good talk, there is no need to have a good talk.

The 200 Dragon Guard Type II, together with the supporting missiles, Liu Yijiu directly asked Iraq for US$3.2 million, which is US$640 million. The 300 Dragon Guard Type I also asked for US$2.2 million, reaching US$660 million.

This price can be said to be the conscientious price quoted by Director Liu. You should know that Saudi tyrants buy naked vehicles without supporting missiles from Director Liu, and they are all $2.4 million per vehicle. After all, there is a demand for missiles needed by Saudi Arabia. If eight missiles are configured, the final price may reach $3.4 million to $3.6 million per vehicle.

The Longwei type is slightly taller than the Iranian one.

After all, on Iran, Pakistan also earned an intermediary fee.

Of course, this price is slightly higher than that in Iran.

Iran purchased missiles and tanks separately.

"We can pay 50% of the cash this way, and the remaining part can be paid with the oil field income." Kanlam and Saddam looked at each other, and saw that Liu Yijiu had changed his attitude, and he couldn't help but slightly increase the cash payment ratio.

The weapons and equipment they need are only the Dragon Guard tanks that are unable to fight back and are extremely durable.

This is the only thing that can be used to be a Chinese engineer.

"The cash must be paid in full, and at least 90% must be paid. We can deliver it all within 4 months." Liu Yijiu said coldly, ignoring Qi Hao, who was a little anxious and kept winking at him.

"This is impossible. Director Liu. If you cannot accept our payment terms, we can only cut our orders." Saddam did not expect that China clearly lacks foreign exchange and is now so strong.

Although it has obtained huge orders in the hands of an ally Saudi Arabia, that is not enough to change the fact that China's foreign exchange reserves are insufficient.

Qi Hao quickly interrupted, afraid that Liu Yijiu's donkey would become angry and eventually broke up, and the whole order was completely ruined, "We can discuss this well."

"It's not easy to discuss anything. Longwei was developed and produced by us. Now the orders are far away. Moreover, our Ninth Hospital is short of money, so naturally whoever pays the money will give priority to the price, we will give priority to the supply of whoever pays the price." Liu Yijiu interrupted Qi Hao coldly.

There is no need to discuss this matter.

They sell weapons and equipment, but so far, they have not met such a person.

Even the United States and the Soviet Union had to bow their heads to him, Director Liu, let alone a small Saddam.

"Director Liu, don't you know if the missile transaction between you and Saudi Arabia is known to the world, will you still have such confidence?" Barzan, who had not spoken, asked Liu Yijiu with contempt.

Qi Hao was stunned.

Whatever you are afraid of

Saudi Arabia’s missile transactions with China were originally top secret, but Saddam found out.

At the beginning, he felt that King Fahd was a wrong move, and he was unwilling to let Liu Yijiu go to Iraq, and he was also worried about this issue.

Now Liu Yijiu and Iraq have made the relationship very stiff. If the other party really leaks this out, the entire transaction will definitely not be so easy under the pressure of the United States and NATO countries.

However, Liu Yijiu ignored Barzan's threat, looked at Saddam coldly, and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. President, this is your final decision."

Saddam did not expect that Liu Yijiu would be so calm at this time.

In his opinion, the reason why young people like Liu Yijiu are confident is that they have obtained huge foreign exchange through cooperation with Saudi Arabia.

Now tell Liu Yijiu that they may not be able to get a penny of foreign exchange. As a result, Qi Hao was panicked, but Liu Yijiu was not at all uneasy.

"Director Liu, this is not what I mean," Saddam was silent for a while before saying to Liu Yijiu.

"I will react to this matter to Saudi Arabia. Perhaps, King Fahd, while angry, will issue an order to stop domestic oil tankers from helping you transport crude oil. I don't know if your country's foreign exchange source will be lost after losing Saudi transportation channels. In addition, I heard that the Saudi royal family and the Kuwait royal family are in-laws. In addition, the Kuwait royal family has always been protected by Saudi Arabia." Liu Yijiu didn't care at all that Saddam would leak, "I believe that once the slightest news is leaked, Saudi Arabia's weapons and financial aid to Iraq, and Kuwait's huge financial aid will be completely cut off."

Hearing Liu Yijiu's words, Qi Hao was helpless even though he was anxious.

This has already happened, and both sides have no way to continue the negotiations.

It depends on whose threat is working.

Liu Yijiu's threat caused Saddam and Kanlam to change their faces at the same time.

Although both the Soviet Union and the United States agreed to provide them with weapons and equipment, they would not pay any attention to them without funds.

Iraq has little foreign exchange reserves, especially after purchasing a large number of Scud missiles from the Soviet Union, there is still a large amount of money that has to be supported by Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. To be continued.
