Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 402

“Using 2.5 million U.S. dollars as a benchmark, as long as the price is not lower than this price,” Wang Hao said calmly. “When the initial project was launched, our base wanted to convince Pakistan that the price per tank should not exceed 2.5 million U.S. dollars. …”

Wang Guilin was stunned.

Zheng Yucheng was also surprised.

Isn’t this kid trying to pit Xie Kai?

Wang Shuwei was even furious, especially when several other people cast inquiries at him, and he was even more angry. Which side of Wang Hao is this kid?

The price reduction is so small, 2.5 million US dollars, which is entirely a credit to Xie Kai.

Finally, the kid didn’t participate in the specific affairs of the base for a long time.

“This price, but the price at which the samples were originally provided…” Wang Guilin asked tentatively.

The price of 2.5 million US dollars for a car is easy for Iraqis to accept.

“It is true, but the price was originally produced in small batches, and what Iraq needs is not to increase weapons and equipment and improve functions. Our samples have not been finalized, and there are still many problems…” Wang Haoyue The bolder he said, “Once the engine is acquired this time, Pakistan will cooperate with the Super Seven Project. They have the funds. Where will the 250 million US dollars of our base come from?”

Selling tanks is the consensus of everyone on the base.

The problem is the price, and the base cannot form a unified understanding.

“According to this price, we did not have any disadvantages. Mass production, the cost will be reduced to 2.2 million soft sister coins or even lower. 2.5 million US dollars per car, according to the current exchange rate, the price of a tank is also 7.25 million One car has a profit of about 2.5 times.” Wang Hao said calmly.

The 2.5 times profit is not high in arms sales.

This profit is already very high for the current 404.

Even the Type 69 main battle tank exported is only about 1.4 million soft sister coins, and the profit is much lower than the 404 tank 359.

“On the basis of this price, even if it is more than 10,000 US dollars, it will be extra…” Wang Hao continued.

After speaking, he didn’t continue to say anything.

What he considers is the development of the base, especially the R&D investment required for the Super Seven Project.

The cost price of a tank is only about US$800,000, and the profit has reached US$1.7 million. The profit of 250 tanks, even if Pakistan does not invest in the Super Seven Project, the 404 family will bear it, and the profit is basically sufficient.

“I support this proposal.” Wang Guilin took the lead in supporting it.

In this way, Xie Kai father and son will not face any hidden dangers.

“I support.” Zheng Yucheng is also not stupid, although he can’t look down on Wang Hao, but Wang Hao’s apparently hit Wang Shuwei and others.

Bai Yanjun, Qi Zhiyuan and others supported them, but in desperation, Wang Shuwei and others had no choice but to approve.

The minutes of the meeting not only recorded this time in detail, but the base also quickly forwarded the reply to Jordan.

“Guaranteed a minimum of US$2.5 million? All cash?” Xie Kai wandered in Amman for a few hours, and felt that there was nothing to look at. Not long after returning to the hotel, Tian Li passed the decision of the base to him. “What did they think?”

Tian Li shrugged and shook her head to express that she didn’t know, “I’m just in charge of passing the news.”

With the reserve price given by the base, Xie Kai knew it in mind.

When Ibrahim found him again, Xie Kai did not refuse, “General, regarding your request, I will respond to my superiors after understanding the situation and put forward my suggestions. Therefore, I think we should go first. Look at the 359 tank that was conducting combat experiments on returning home…”

Upon hearing this, Ibrahim thought that Xie Kai had compromised.

Without thinking about it, I agreed.

The 359 tank was originally stationed at a camp near Rutby, near Jordan. It was originally planned to be transferred to Baghdad or Tikrit after training there.

As a result, a while ago, he was driven to the front line of Basra by the Tikrit young officer.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

At the end of the first battle, the company did not return to the station.

Still in Basra.

“Go to Basra? Where is the front line? Both of you are at war! There is shelling every day!” Xie Kai was immediately unhappy when he heard that he was going to Basra with a group of people.

Selling weapons and equipment is a trivial matter.

Even the Soviets could not run to their front lines.

He has always believed that the negotiations should be in Baghdad, the world’s most heavily defended area in the 1980s, and not elsewhere.

“The Soviets are in Basra!” Xie Kai would never believe it.

Ibrahim nodded and said, “Yes, they are in Basra. As you know, there are many Western observer groups in Baghdad, and the Soviets are also there. It is easy to be targeted…”

“But there are so many of us…” Xie Kai didn’t believe it in his heart. He couldn’t do anything about the other party’s request.

The entire team has a large number of people.

“The technicians can also go there first, join up with the technicians there, and then go back to the station with the Tikrit young officer company… and you can stay there, and no one will find it. “Ibrahim proposed.

This suggestion is feasible.

It was originally intended to send technicians to Iraq.

“No, it’s too dangerous over there. Whether it’s in the air, encountering a Persian fighter plane, or being spotted by the Persian air defense radar, it is not a good thing… Even their military airfield may be in danger of being hit.” When Xie Kai and Ibrahim approached Xie Jianguo, Xie Jianguo firmly opposed.

Nothing can happen to Yunshi.

Once shot down, the final consequences are very serious.

Basra is too close to the battlefield.

“Once there is a problem with the transportation, the domestically produced large aircraft will disappear for a long time. It is currently designed, and it is impossible to fly in public like this.” Xie Jianguo considers not his own safety, but the prospects of the transportation project. “A problem has arisen, the dozens of technicians in the entire team, how do we explain to their families?”

“What should I do?” Xie Kai asked.

“Yunshi will return directly, and the technicians will go directly to Rutby. Even our technicians in Basra must go back and stay away from the battlefield!” Xie Jianguo emphasized, “We passed by an Iraqi plane. General, I think there is no problem with this. Right?”

Seeing Xie Jianguo’s firm eyes, Ibrahim nodded hurriedly, “No problem, I can arrange it immediately.”

Xie Kai didn’t understand what Ibrahim wanted them to do in Basra.

“You stay with them and wait for me at Lutby.” Xie Jianguo said solemnly to Xie Kai when Ibrahim was making arrangements.

Xie Kai understood that Dad didn’t want him to take risks.

“Dad, I think this matter should be my responsibility, first contact the Soviets, and then find a place to negotiate. Ruthby’s side is suitable. Besides, don’t you have to solve some technical problems of the 359 tank?” Xie Kai doesn’t want his father to take risks.

“Lao Tzu did, but you did not.” Xie Jianguo said calmly.

Xie Kai rolled his eyes, “You have something wrong, what should my mom do?”

No matter what Xie Jianguo said, it is impossible for Xie Kai to let him go to Basra alone.

“Don’t worry, although the Persian talents organized an offensive not long ago. Up to now, they are the same as us, lack of ammunition, unable to prevent their large-scale offensive…” Ibrahim came back and saw that the father and son had both waited for each other. He said with a wry smile, “So, Basra is relatively safe now.”

“Furthermore, we arrived at Najaf by military helicopter in Rutby, and then diverted into Basra…”

In order to dispel the worries of the father and son, Ibrahim told Xie Kai that the trip would be safer.

“Then go together.” Neither father nor son could persuade each other.

From the beginning, Xie Kai felt a faint worry.

It seems that something is going to happen to Basra.

He felt that he had forgotten something, something very important to Basra, but in any case, he could not remember what he had forgotten.

Under Ibrahim’s arrangement, a group of people arrived at Rutbai via a civil airliner in Jordan.

Lutbai was far away from the front lines of the Iran-Iraq War. Many equipment purchased by Iraq through Jordan were transferred here. During the war for several years, Lutbai’s infrastructure developed very well.

However, before Xie Kai had a good understanding of Lutby’s situation, the Mi-8 arranged by Ibrahim took Xie Kai and others to fly to the southeast.

In the Persian Ahwaz headquarters, Al Tadel looked at his senior officers seriously.

“The order has been conveyed, and everyone talks about their views.”

“Commander, we do not have enough ammunition reserves to support a large-scale battle. It is too difficult to continue to advance the front and obtain greater results.” The combat staff saw that all colleagues bowed their heads and could only bite the bullet. .

They all know the order from the superior.

The people above only asked for the expansion of the results, not others.

“The Arabs have not been replenished either. A few days ago, the 137th Battalion’s experience made the Ministry of Defense very dissatisfied! We are constantly consuming equipment…” Al Tedell also knew that the ammunition was not replenished at all.

The offensive organized a few months ago did not achieve any results. Instead, it consumed a lot of ammunition and lost several fighters.

“Commander, are there any clear instructions on it? What is the combat intent?” asked another combat staff officer.

Al Tadel also knows that it is difficult to meet the requirements of superiors, and it is difficult to advance the front.

To realize this strategic intent, it is difficult to use the ammunition reserves on the southern front.

“We must destroy their new tank unit! At the same time, destroy as many of their fighters as possible. At the same time, occupy the entire territory of the Fau Peninsula and the port, and destroy the guards they have just stationed…” Al Tedel “In order to cooperate with our actions, the Northern Front will also launch an offensive at the same time the next night to cover up our strategic intentions. This combat operation is codenamed’Dawn 8′.”
