"If you want to do anything, you won't need the gas locomotive they borrowed from Jiayuguan, and the passenger carriage won't be replaced. You know what we're going on...... "Wang Guilin explained.

Long Yaohua still didn't believe it, but he couldn't question it anymore.

The cars on the side of the 404 base are all configured in the sixties and have not been modified.

The situation was not good before, and the section of the railway from the base to Jiayuguan was ready to be handed over to the Ministry of Railways, but the Ministry of Railways was not willing to accept it at all.

There is a railway of more than 100 kilometers here, which originally belonged to the 404 base itself.

Therefore, the locomotive head has not been replaced, and even the traveling carriage is the interior of the stuffy tank freight carriage plus some simple stools, which has been used for decades.

"Chief, we are ready to renovate the railway and replace the train, the plan has come out, and we need your help......" Bai Yanjun said on the side.

Zheng Yucheng didn't speak, and Xie Kai was dozing off to the extreme at this time.

"Let's talk about this later, it won't be solved in a short time. Zheng Yucheng opened his mouth and said, it's already early in the morning, and we have to talk about business tomorrow, "Chief Long, the purpose of the Iranians' visit this time, can you get some rumors?"

The money in the pockets of the Iranians is the most urgent.

"Purchasing your avant-garde anti-aircraft missiles, what else is there for the military to help them train soldiers and train the cadre command system, especially if they need to come here...... The head of the military can't figure out the situation, let me ask. Long Yaohua looked at Zheng Yucheng and didn't ask about the train.

Did the Iranians send money this time, or a large sum of money.

"It's not this kid who made it, in order to sell weapons and equipment, the Iranians have never expressed their position, and he has begun to sell army construction plans. As soon as he said this, Zheng Yu achieved his spirit.

Pointing to Xie Kai, who was dozing off next to him, he explained to Long Yaohua.

"In this case, let's go to the room and say, I'll get a good idea of the situation. Long Yaohua looked at Xie Kai with a sleepy face, and kept dozing off, and he was also a little heartbroken.

This kid's performance at the beginning really didn't make a good impression of him.

Long Yaohua has always paid attention to Xie Kai, and he wants to know if this kid's behavior all day is consistent with his thoughts.

As a result, I only found out now that this kid was arrogant when he first came out.

Thinking of his family background, Xie Jianguo experienced that era after returning from the Soviet Union and East Germany, and Liu Xu was born in the so-called stinky old nine family.

The 404 base is not like the outside, at least it has also affected the future of Xie Jianguo and Liu Xu.

In this way, Xie Kai's behavior can also be analyzed.

When he heard that Xie Kai proposed a plan for army building, he naturally became interested.

The domestic armed forces need to be reformed, and the resolution on major disarmament has been passed, and how to make fewer troops exert stronger combat effectiveness, in addition to improving the performance of weapons and equipment, there is also army building.

In this regard, the country is crossing the river by feeling the stones, and various military regions are discussing and studying, setting up pilot projects, and exploring the road of reform.

Xie Kai used the army construction plan to attract Iranians to purchase weapons and equipment, this kind of thing, Long Yaohua and others never thought about it.

The army building of any country is much the same, and if Xie Kai's plan had not impressed the Iranians, they would not have waited here for news, and the people who went back would have come back in half a month.

"It's getting late, rest first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. Zheng Yucheng saw Xie Kai's reluctance and opened his mouth to Long Yaohua.

Long Yaohua disagreed, "What we lack most now is time, the gap with the world's advanced is too big, every second counts, our time is running out......"

Lost time, if you want to get it back, it's no longer possible.

I can only cherish the time now and schedule every minute very tightly.

In desperation, Wang Guilin opened a room for Xie Kai next to Long Yaohua, let Xie Kai sleep first, and several people talked about reporting the situation to Long Yaohua, and by the way, they also discussed the railway construction plan.

"A thousand sets of anti-aircraft missiles?" Alpha had been waiting for Ihor and the others, knowing that they would come over tonight, and originally wanted to go to the station to greet them, but the Chinese told him that the train was late.

finally waited for Ihor and his entourage, regardless of the time of morning and evening, and regardless of the fatigue of Ihor and the others, the jet lag had not yet reversed, so they opened their mouths to inquire about the situation.

I was also shocked to hear Khomeini personally say that he would purchase 1,000 sets of avant-garde anti-aircraft missiles.

"Yes, the contract must be signed as soon as possible to send back the first batch of anti-aircraft missiles. Hazari said.

"The Iraqis only ordered 200 sets at the beginning, but on the eve of the Chinese New Year, they urgently added 800 sets, reaching 1,000 sets, with a delivery time of half a year, and with China's current production capacity, they could not fully deliver. Alpha said with a frown.

At base 404 these days, they know the situation very thoroughly.

Avant-garde anti-aircraft missiles, made in China are also not an easy task.

They often wander around the assembly workshops of the Chinese, not to steal technology, but to calculate how much the Chinese produce.

"We must sign a contract as soon as possible, missiles produced by the Chinese, we must be given priority supply, otherwise it will not be possible to contain the barbaric Arabs." Ihor emphasized, "The instructions of the Supreme Leader. ”

The Soviets wanted this order, and Khomeini personally rejected them.

In order for China to better fulfill the contract.

In other words, China is short of money, and their demand for cash foreign exchange is more urgent and stronger. In addition, although the news is not 100% certain, the fact that the Iraqis have purchased a large number of anti-aircraft missiles from China has forced Khomeini to make a decision as soon as possible.

"But the Chinese can't agree. "Alpha understands China's production capacity.

For this missile, a large number of parts and components come from other units, and only the guidance part and assembly of the core of the production are here.

"This will be our bottom line in the negotiations!" Hazari said with a solemn look on his face.

"About other armaments......" Alpha asked Ihor.

He is the one in charge of procurement, and it is impossible to be unclear about what he wants to procure.

Originally, this visit to China was just a formality, and Iran's weapons and equipment were mainly imported from the Soviet Union, but as a result, there was no progress in negotiations with the Soviets, so they first purchased a batch from China.

"We have to ask the Chinese side to be responsible for training our technical backbone, and the selection requirements are up to them, or even let them help with the selection of personnel from us...... After training, we will look at the situation and then decide on the purchase quantity. Hazari gave a detailed account of the supreme instructions from Ayatollah Khomeini.

In this way, Alpha also has a bottom in his heart.

Long Yaohua and the others didn't sleep all night, and after the base woke up and the radio began to broadcast, they closed their clothes and squinted for a while.

The Iranians also did not sleep all night.

When the two sides met the next day, they were staring at the dark circles under their eyes, and their eyes were bloodshot.

"It's so dark that everyone can't see it at all. Xie Kai slept late last night, and when he woke up, he was full of energy, watching both sides staring at the dark circles under their eyes, and secretly slandering themselves.

"We need 1,000 sets of avant-garde portable individual anti-aircraft missiles! We hope to sign the contract today!" As soon as the Iranians opened their mouths, the Chinese personnel were taken by surprise.

Especially Long Yaohua.

He has been exposed to a lot of international negotiations, almost all of which are routines, and everyone comes up to greet each other, and after being polite, they will not easily express their thoughts.

The Iranians are so anxious, don't they worry about being slaughtered?

Zheng Yucheng and the others looked at Xie Kai, this kid is doing a very good job in intelligence.

Who knows, Xie Kai is also shocked at this time!

He just casually pinched and comforted Zheng Yucheng and the others, and a group of old guys were so excited that they began to study how to spend the money.

As a result, the Iranians really offered to ask for 1000 sets.

Is Khomeini angry with Saddam?

That's a good thing, too.

Originally, it was just speculation, but now it has finally been confirmed, and another $100 million has arrived, and the financial pressure on the base will become less and less.

"No problem. As long as the customer has requirements, we will do our best to ensure it. However, the price ...... "Zheng Yucheng has long regarded a thousand sets of anti-aircraft missiles as a bag."

But for the price.

"At the price you offer to the damned Iraqis, $94,800 per set, we can pay for it all upfront. "Alpha understands what the Chinese need.

put forward a condition that Zheng Yucheng and others could not refuse.

Even Long Yaohua couldn't refuse such a condition.

A thousand sets, more than 90 million dollars, what a lot of money!

By the end of last year, the country's foreign exchange reserves were only $8.22 billion.

At the beginning of the year, nearly 100 million Iraqis were on the side, and nearly 100 million dollars were sent by Iranians. 404 earns foreign exchange without spending foreign exchange, which already accounts for a few tenths of the country's foreign exchange reserves.

"How long will it take?" asked Jung, licking his lips.

"A cooperation agreement is reached, the contract is signed, and the account will be received within three days!" Ihor said.

The vast wealth of the Pahlavi dynasty could not be recovered and was swallowed up by Western countries, and Iran is now facing a blockade from European and American countries, and there are not many sources of foreign exchange.

Even so, Iran, which can produce oil, has far more foreign exchange reserves than China.

Emaciated camels are bigger than horses.

"The price can be as you ask. After a while of eye contact, Zheng Yucheng and others agreed to provide the Iranians with 1,000 sets of avant-garde anti-aircraft missiles at this price.

"We have another request, and if it meets us, we can start preparing the contract now!" Alpha spoke again.

Zheng Yucheng and others knew that the Iranians were so upright that it was impossible for them to have no purpose.

This requirement will certainly not be easily met.

"We need you to give us avant-garde anti-aircraft missiles as a matter of priority. All missiles must be delivered within half a year!" Ihor said calmly, "If you approve it, we can sign the contract now." Our funds will be transferred to you in the shortest possible time!"

Zheng Yucheng and the others were dumbfounded.

The Iranians are actually making a fuss about the delivery date.

The delivery deadline demanded by the Iraqis was already tight, and it was already difficult to complete the production capacity at the limit.

But now the Iranians are putting forward such conditions......
