Chapter 344: Plan and then Act
The Iraqi government has purchased 100 of the latest helicopter gunships to be launched in the Golden Triangle at a price of $60 million each, which is one of the core secret projects, the Immortal Bird 1 helicopter gunship. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is a deal specially approved by Wu Chen, which was originally forbidden to be sold to the outside world, but the war situation in Iraq has a far-reaching impact, and the mercenary corps has too many interests involved, so this equipment has to be opened.
In addition to this, the Iraqi Government has purchased 100 Mi-8 transport helicopters of the former Soviet Union and 100 Mi-24 armed helicopters of the former Soviet Union for $20 million each.
These weapons and equipment alone are more than $60 billion, but this war is not over, this war is not a SAARC war, the nature and purpose are different, there will be ground firefights, forming a short period of tug-of-war, for this reason, a lot of equipment must be added.
For example, large-caliber howitzers, anti-tank missiles, mortars, portable missiles, rockets, etc., should also be equipped. The training and guidance fees of the military resource company are not a small amount, and the Iraqi guards do not yet have the ability to operate, so they must provide one-on-one guidance, which consumes considerable energy.
In the end, adding up all the cooperation projects, this deal actually exceeded 120 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to the Iraqi government investing all its military spending in the Golden Triangle mercenary corps for three years, and of course, other countries did not help Iraq so much!
Because of the tight schedule and the urgency of the task, Saddam Hussein believes that the military industrial complex of the mercenary corps does not have the ability to complete this deal, so he does not mind that some of the weapons and equipment he bought are second-hand goods from the former Soviet Union and the United States. Part of the equipment does not include main battle tanks and fighters, as for the issue of helicopters, it is easy to discuss!
Therefore, in addition to the Shield Defender-1 road-based fighters, the Immortal Bird-1 helicopter gunship and the Hunting Bow 1 anti-aircraft missile system, there are also radar systems and Su-34 fighter-bombers, main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, and everything else is basically transferred from active service.
For example, the Su-27 fighter jet is in stock, but if it is not good, it can be bought from the active service of the Russian Air Force, and the other party refuses to sell it when he sees the dollar! Tornado MLRS launch system, in stock!
Mi-8 transport helicopter and Mi-24 gunship, in stock! All kinds of missiles, shells and rockets, in stock! The tens of billions of dollars of equipment purchased from the Russian government at ultra-low prices happened to be used on the battlefield in Iraq this time, and the amount was only a fraction of the amount.
Iraq, which experienced the Gulf War, is now very financially tight, but when faced with life and death, Saddam Hussein is still very courageous, and he must first get this money out of the pot and selling iron. Wu Chen's suggestion that he implement it meticulously, increase the exploitation of oil, and reduce the sales price of Huaxia and other countries, what he wants is cash!
According to the agreement, the mercenary corps must complete the delivery of all weapons and equipment within two years, and the Iraqi guards will be trained to use the world's most advanced weapons and equipment, and the commanders will know how to use modern tactics. The reason why I don't mind second-hand goods is very simple, if you want to control these high-tech equipment and improve the combat effectiveness of the army as soon as possible, the longer the training time, the better!
"Fortunately, the boss has built the military industrial base of Ukolan, and so far more than 300 factories have been formed in one stop, which can manufacture a large number of standard parts, otherwise this money is really not easy to make."
"Just so many planes, tanks and infantry fighting vehicles can hang us! Because of the large use of second-hand goods, it is estimated that we can finally earn nearly 90 billion US dollars in profits, nearly 30 billion per year. Hunter said to everyone with a sigh.
The Abrams main battle tank and the Bradley infantry fighting vehicle are the best armored vehicles that have been in actual combat for a long time, and they are indeed in stock in the hands of mercenary regiments, but they cannot be sold!
At the beginning of the agreement signed with the United States, the United States also knew that the mercenary corps had a high vision, but it stipulated that weapons could not be sold to China, nor to Russia, or to countries that had bad relations with the United States.
Marcas was very angry at the restrictions on not being able to sell second-hand goods, and ordered the Marshev factory in Ukolan to start making a new upgraded version, demanding that 1,000 main battle tanks and 2,000 infantry fighting vehicles be completed within two years, gradually replacing American equipment.
The design adopts the advantages of the American Abrams main battle tank, the German Leopard 2 main battle tank and the French Leclerc main battle tank, and still uses depleted uranium armor.
In addition, the acquired Ukolan Radar Plant began to manufacture the Pantsir anti-aircraft radar system of the late Soviet Union, as well as the newly designed passive radar system, which was used against American stealth bombers.
It was not difficult for this old Soviet tank factory to complete this task, the only thing that mattered was depleted uranium armor. Of course, Wu Chen can get the technology, and it's in his head, but the core of the depleted uranium armor is uranium-238, which is the waste of uranium fuel, and it is estimated that he can only ask the Russian government for help, but he can't leak the technology.
"Walya, order the agents in Africa to find Ogaran for me, take me to the military base in Mogadishu, and then contact Makas, there are some things that need to be discussed with him." Although Wu Chen is the boss, he is not completely arrogant, like the power of the intelligence department, which has always been in his hands.
"Ogaran, the leader of the Kurdish and Workers' Party in Turkey, is now in exile in Africa, boss, you are looking for him to make some small moves on the Turkish side, and by the way to provide some assistance to the SAARC side of the war?" Valia, the intelligence chief, immediately made an accurate judgment.
"Turkey is a member of NATO and an important ally of the United States in Asia, and there is still half a year before the war in Kosovo starts, and Turkey will definitely participate in this war. I hope that the intelligence services will give full play to their value and use the Kurd people's dream of statehood to create a conflict in the southeast of Turkey, and then we will reduce some of the pressure. "Wu Chen doesn't need to hide it from his intelligence chief.
Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, these words are not so simple, but Valia, as a professional agent elite, understands very well in his heart, the boss is reminding himself and the entire department to make a difference!
