Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 411

“Dad, you know that in international negotiations, everything is centered on national interests. Principles and other things are talked about. This is not our dishonesty, but the negotiation strategy? The original avant-garde air defense missile production, we It’s just based on its own production capacity, without considering the increase in production capacity…”

“Are you reasonable?” Xie Jianguo was extremely dissatisfied, “Just because you didn’t talk about integrity before, now we are so passive, how can we complete their order in such a short time?”

“The solution is always more difficult than the difficulty.” Xie Kai didn’t know, “Wait for the rest of them to come and talk about it in time. It’s impossible to mobilize productivity in such a big country, isn’t it?”

“Don’t the tank factory produce anything else? Now the military system is cutting production capacity. Do you still want to expand production capacity? What should I do after production?” Xie Jianguo questioned Xie Kai.

Expansion of production capacity is simply not desirable.

“Do not expand production capacity.” Xie Kai shook his head and said, “Dad, the delivery date must not be let go. You have to reserve Persian orders.”

“What if they don’t buy it? It will also affect Iraq’s orders.” Xie Jianguo said angrily, “You can’t put your hopes on your assumptions.”

“Dad, this is not taken for granted, but an analysis based on facts.” Xie Kai said seriously, “The Persians are currently facing far fewer sources of weapons than Iraq. In the battle on the Faao Peninsula, the Iraqis are neurotoxins. Biochemical weapons such as mustard gas are being used, and the international community has no accusations…”

Xie Kai analyzed the reason why the Persians are very likely to place huge orders to the base.

In particular, they have used ground red flag missiles and suffered a big loss from 359 tanks.

This is even more reason to purchase 404 instead of Soviet weapons and equipment.

Although the missiles and tanks sold by the Soviets were large in number and famous, they were not dazzling in actual combat performance.

“How to convince the Iraqis?” Xie Jianguo asked worriedly.

“Look at who they are coming from. You must have a reliable Arabic translator in your team, and you must have a clerk…” Xie Kai said.

Xie Jianguo knows naturally.

Now the Iraqis no longer hold Xie Kai and his son under house arrest. Of course, it’s just relative, and they can’t leave the entire building.

Xie Jianguo was finally able to see the members of his team, even with a cast on his leg, it did not stop him from seeing the members of his team.

“They may not be able to satisfy us in terms of delivery time.” Ibrahim said to Ishad and another young man beside him. “There is no contact in terms of price…”

“How long do they need to deliver?” Ishad asked with a frown.

A young man with white gloves next to him admired the jewel-studded ring on the outside of his finger gloves, his face was arrogant, and he didn’t listen carefully.

“The tank will take two and a half years. The others won’t take so long.” Ishad glanced at the young man next to him and frowned.

“This requires negotiation, time should be able to compress a part.” Ibrahim also stared at the young man and said.

The young man who admired the huge gem ring on his finger did not lift his head, and said, “Then let them give the fastest delivery time!”

Both Isad and Ibrahim nodded hurriedly.

Subsequently, the young man left.

“Why did your Highness Qusai come?” Ibrahim asked Issad.

“The garrison’s casualties are so serious, how can he not come?” Isad sighed.

Ibrahim understood, “Qasim has to be responsible for this?”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Someone must be responsible. At present, it may not be possible to continue to command the troops. Although he is not the fault, and the guard has been transferred to most of the backbone…” Ishad said quietly.

It is already very good that the president can leave Qasim with his life.

If you change to another person, you will be killed directly.

Ibrahim cleverly didn’t ask any more, just asked, “Did you come for the equipment too?”

“Yes, we need such a tank. The Soviet T72 tank is not as good as the Chinese tank in terms of combat performance. And the price is much higher, the president is very dissatisfied! At present, the domestic T72 is temporarily used first, waiting for the Chinese. When the tanks arrive for replacement, an agreement must be reached as soon as possible…” Isad said, “The president personally loaned another US$5 billion from Kuwait to supplement the equipment of the expanded Tikrit Division.”

“So much? Isn’t it just an expansion of six brigades? Is it going to increase?” Ibrahim’s eyes widened.

Isad shook his head. He didn’t know the specific situation either. “His Royal Highness Cousse will be responsible. For the time being, the negotiation with them is what was requested before.”

Quse, who is only two years older than Xie Kai, came to Basra. Only a few people know exactly what they are doing.

Xie Kai didn’t expect that when he negotiated again, he would be old acquaintances.

“We can relax the delivery time, and all tanks must be delivered within 18 months.” Isad went directly to the topic.

Xie Kai wants to let the other party give more time to the delivery period. In any case, the Iraqis will not let go.

“Regarding the delivery date, we can’t reply now. Please directions, if we can, we will definitely not hide anything on this.” Xie Jianguo felt that it would be useless to pull on it.

It’s better to talk about prices and other issues.

After returning to China, we will determine how much productivity can be mobilized based on the situation.

Xie Jianguo can only use Hongqi Machinery Factory as a reference. I don’t even know how much production capacity 541 can provide.

“If the delivery date cannot be guaranteed, there is no need to talk about the price. Although your tank has shown its performance, it hasn’t been finalized until now…there are a lot of faults…” Before, even if you signed a contract, you could delay the delivery date…”

Xie Jianguo glared at Xie Kai again, “General, it was a misunderstanding. The contract was not clearly stated. When the contract was signed, our products had not yet been fully finalized.”

“The 359 tank has not been finalized either.” Ibrahim reminded.

“We will study it carefully when we go back. It shouldn’t take more than 27 months.” Xie Jianguo said cautiously.

“Since you are not sure, let’s talk about your price. Let’s study it again.” Ibrahim also knew that it is impossible to force the other party to guarantee the delivery date.

Anyway, as many vehicles are delivered, they will give you as much money.

Unless the Chinese don’t need money.

“The 359 tank, although the cost is very high, in view of the large quantity of your order, we can reduce the price to 2.8 million U.S. dollars per vehicle; the ground-to-ground missile carrying cloud explosive bombs costs 700,000 U.S. dollars each; 122 mm self-propelled missiles The howitzer, plus the supporting logistics support vehicle, cost 4.5 million US dollars each, and each gun, equipped with an automatic ammunition supply vehicle…” Xie Jianguo stated the price Xie Kai told him before.

“You guys are stealing money!” Even Ibrahim couldn’t help but yelled.

The price of anything is too high.

If so, they might as well buy from Western countries, at least, they have more advanced technology.

“General, these prices are not high. You already know the performance and cost-effectiveness of the 359 tank, which is obvious to all; the same is true for the 122mm self-propelled howitzer. Each battalion is equipped with a battalion command vehicle and 3 company command vehicles. One weather radar, 9 armored reconnaissance vehicles, one reconnaissance and school shooting radar vehicle, 2 armored rescue vehicles, 4 maintenance vehicles and 2 spare parts vehicles…A battalion is equipped with 18-24 guns, according to the minimum 18 guns. Calculate, it only needs 81 million U.S. dollars. Five to six self-propelled artillery battalions do not exceed 500 million U.S. dollars…” Xie Kai said.

The self-propelled artillery is sold as a whole package, which is learned from the northern military outfit.

They sell the 85-type 122mm self-propelled howitzer, or the PLZ-45 155mm self-propelled howitzer, which are all packaged and sold.

The ancillary equipment needed for logistics is not counted as money, only the price of a single gun.

In fact, all the prices of these supporting equipment are counted in it.

Those equipment, except for the command vehicle and the radar vehicle, are of no value.

“General, if you calculate this way, the price is actually not high. The price of a single gun does seem to be a bit high, and we add the cost of the standard-equipped support car. Of course, if you don’t need these packages, The price can be reduced by at least a quarter.”

“Even if it is a single gun, the price of each one is more than 3 million US dollars!” Ibrahim looked at Xie Kai, feeling that the other party was too greedy. “Your towed 122mm howitzer, the price of each is only 600,000 US dollars.”

A 122 mm caliber self-propelled howitzer is not as defensively as a tank, and it dared to sell for million each!

“General, this is a self-propelled artillery. Its mobility, firepower, and even accuracy and range are far stronger than ordinary towed artillery. Compared with other self-propelled artillery of the same caliber in the world, our price is almost the lowest. Yes. And for the self-propelled howitzers of other countries, all the supporting equipment needs to be purchased additionally.” Xie Kai was blown away. “Especially our artillery is equipped with the image-stabilizing fire control system radar like the 359 tank, which can fire the artillery while traveling!”

Compared with the French self-propelled howitzer, Xie Kai believes that the provision of the base is already an absolute conscience.

This is the selling point of the 122mm self-propelled howitzer.

Under the anti-stabilization type fire control system, now that Xie Kai has got it, how can he not make more fuss?

“The price is still too high. Regardless of the range and power, it can’t be compared with the 155mm howitzer.” Isad said dissatisfied. “This is just a type of artillery used for divisional fire support!”

“It’s not high. We developed this self-propelled artillery to accompany the 359 tank combat support equipment. Within 30 kilometers, with artillery support, further support artillery, is currently under development, more than 60 kilometers, just Directly use the ground red flag missile to support…”

“A gun sells for $4.5 million. You are too greedy. Since there is no sincerity in cooperation, there is no need to talk about it.” At this time, a young man wearing a white Arab robe and gloves on his hands walked in.
