Volume 4 Arms Empire Chapter 35 Arms Sales Transaction (950 Explosions, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

I just lay on the sofa in the office before dawn for about 2 hours + after the second "sleepless night", and as soon as I received the latest news at breakfast, I rushed to the FΓΌhrer's capital......

"The battle is fierce." Pan Yunsheng gave the Fuhrer the documents he had sorted out on the road. "There are seven confirmed results, at least one F-35A, perhaps an F-35B, Iranian militia witnessed the fighter change course before it fell, whether it was an F-35B equipped with a lift engine, or whether the militia reported an error, it has not yet been confirmed. The other six were all ordinary fighters, and no news was received that the F-22A had been shot down. ”

Zhao Rundong read the report very carefully. Unlike Ji Youguo, he prefers to read written reports.

"In addition, Iran sent a message that in addition to hoping that we urgently provide a batch of 'Hongqi-11' air defense systems, it also hopes that we can provide the 'Hongqi-16' with better performance."

"'Red Flag 16'?" Zhao Rundong raised his head.

"The medium and short-range air defense system, which was finalized last year, is planned to replace the early 'Hongqi 611' and is a development model of the 'Hongqi 11'."

"I know this, it looks like we've just started mass production, right?"

Pan Yunsheng nodded. "The Air Force ordered only 12 last year, and 24 this year will not be delivered until the second half of the year. Now none of our air defense forces has fully mastered the use of 'Red Flag 16'. ”

"Then we can't provide Iran with 'Red Flag 16', otherwise we will have to send troops to fight."

Lao Peng also means this. It was thought that it would be enough to supply Iran with 'Red Flag 11'. ”

"That's what he meant?" Zhao Rundong looked a little surprised. "He has always been afraid that the world will not be chaotic. I want to sell our best things to Iran. How did you change your attitude this time? ”

"I had a chat with Lao Peng last night. He thought so. We will take this opportunity to resell our military land 'Red Flag 11' to Iran. Equip the air defense forces of our army with 'Red Banner 16'. ”

"Loot while it's hot!" Zhao Rundong shook his head with a smile. "It seems. Lao Peng also knows how to calculate economic accounts. ”

"How to say. This is also a rare progress. ”

"Arrange it as soon as possible. After getting in touch with Russia. Let 'medium and heavy company' ship as soon as possible. ”

"Deliveries are not a problem, the main thing is what Iran pays for the purchase of arms."

Zhao Rundong frowned slightly and said, "Before, didn't you negotiate with Iran?" ”

"It's been negotiated, but now it seems that the situation has changed a little." Pan Yunsheng took out a cigarette and said, "The US ground forces are massing, and it is very likely that the ground offensive will be launched in a week." If the U.S. military occupies Khuzestan province and does not intend to withdraw for a while, it will prop up a pro-American Sunni regime in Khuzestan province. Regardless of whether Iran has the ability to bring back Khuzestan province, even if it can, it will be a few years away. When the time comes, the oil extraction facilities in the province of Khuzestan will inevitably be destroyed, how can this account be calculated? ”

Zhao Rundong nodded, indicating that he understood what Pan Yunsheng meant.

After signing the arms sales contract with Iran, + Muhua reached a secret agreement with the Iranian government, and after the outbreak of the war, the "Zhongzhong Company" could supply weapons and equipment to Iran in the form of "consignment" land, and Iran would pay for the military purchase with the right to exploit state-owned oil and gas fields. Because it was only an agreement of intent, there was no specific terms of it.

According to Pan Yunsheng, Iran does not oppose the exchange of rights to exploit oil and gas fields for weapons, but there are differences on specific terms.

"If you negotiate now, is it too late?"

"It's not too late." Pan Yunsheng took two puffs of cigarette, "On the way over, I called + Muhua, and she was also in contact with Iranian diplomats in Beijing. Iran has set very stringent terms on the terms of exploitation period and oil export price, including that the "China Heavy Goods Company" will repair the damaged oil field production equipment and infrastructure on its own, and the "China Heavy Goods Company" will hand over 50% of the subcontract proceeds to the Iranian government when it subcontracts the mining rights. + Mu Hua felt that there was no way to make money, so he never agreed. ”

"It's really harsh, it's just unreasonable."

"Don't worry, drag it out, it's Iran that is in a hurry, not us."

"It's not good to delay for too long, because we're not the only ones selling weapons to Iran."

Pan Yunsheng smiled and said, "You're right, but Russia doesn't have much competitiveness. The first two days of fighting have been able to illustrate the problem, the 'Daur M11' and 'Shanmao' sold by Russia to Iran have only shot down 5 US fighters, and the S-300 has not achieved a single result. The Hongqi 911 and Hongqi 11 that we sold to Iran shot down a total of 19 U.S. warplanes, including the B-2. Even if our bid is much higher, Iran tends to buy air defense systems from us. The premise is that it has to be done as soon as possible. ”

Zhao Rundong nodded. That's exactly what I meant. Do you want to talk to + Muhua and ask her to make some concessions. ”

"I'm afraid it's hard to discuss, at most let her agree to change the way the military purchase money is settled."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Rundong also picked up a cigarette.

"+ Muhua demanded that when Iran officially transferred the oil and gas fields to the 'China Heavy Goods Company', it would be in accordance with our land

Inflation plus interest, and Iran only settles at the current price, to + the same amount of mining rights. ”

"Does it make a difference?"

"Big difference. The international oil price is now more than $170 per barrel, and if the war ends in two years' time, there is a high probability that the price of oil will fall below $140; If it drags on for five years, oil prices risk falling below $100; If it is dragged until the fusion nuclear power plant is put into operation on a large scale, the price of oil will definitely fall above fifty dollars. At current prices, Iran takes advantage; We will take advantage of the future price. ”

Zhao Rundong smiled bitterly, a businessman is a businessman, and he is so shrewd in everything.

"Anyway, what we can do is to get + Muhua to agree to settle at the current oil price, but Iran has to pay interest during the delay of the war. After all, the 'Zhongzhong Company' is a private enterprise, and it is also related to the interests of many domestic arms manufacturers. ”

"That's true, and in that case, you have to put pressure on Iran."

"It's better to let Huang Guowei do it through diplomatic channels."

Zhao Rundong nodded and said, "It's okay, just let Huang Guowei do it." In the meantime, we still have to settle domestic matters. You don't know, after Lao Ji left, he left a lot of troubles, and now I have to solve them. ”

"How did I not know?" Pan Yunsheng smiled, "However, Lao Ji did solve a lot of problems for you. ”

Zhao Rundong shook his head with a smile and did not answer Pan Yunsheng.

Several sets of laws introduced by Ji Youguo before leaving office have had a great impact on society, or more precisely, local governments. For more than a month, Zhao Rundong has been busy dealing with the "challenges" of various local governments. At the beginning of the year, he approved a pilot project in Guangxi, and implemented the "four bills" and the central administrative regulations promulgated by the State Council six months ahead of schedule.

By the 11th, local governments in all provinces will have to operate according to the new rules.

For this matter, Zhao Rundong went to Guangxi on the 1st to investigate and inspect. Although Pan Yunsheng did not follow, as far as he knew, Wang Yuanqing had already emerged in Guangxi, which made Zhao Rundong very satisfied. In support of Wang Yuanqing, Zhao Rundong also approved the expansion of the scope of the Beihai Special Economic Zone. Wang Yuanqing is also very capable, not only after taking office, he burned the "three fires", and caused a group of old officials to either find Zhao Rundong or Pang Xinglong to "complain", but he also made a special trip to visit + Yanbo and others, so that + Yanbo and others agreed to invest in Beihai. When + Muhua went to Guangzhou to sign a contract with a private oil company, Wang Yuanqing also took Ye Zhisheng to rush over, probably wanting + Muhua to put the headquarters of the "Zhongzhong Company" in Beihai, Guangzhou.

In Zhao Rundong's words, the whole country is looking at Guangxi and Wang Yuanqing's actions.

As long as Guangxi's "pilot projects" are carried out well, it will be much less difficult to implement the "four bills" and the central administrative regulations. If Guangxi does not do well, I am afraid that Zhao Rundong will have to find a way to adjust the terms of the new law.

"You haven't had a break in the past two days, right?"

"Fortunately, I took time to sleep during the day." Pan Yunsheng yawned, "There's no way in the special period, if I don't stare at it, I still want you to help me stare at it?" ”

Zhao Rundong shook his head with a smile. "You go back and rest, come to me again if you have anything."

Before Pan Yunsheng could get up, the phone on the table rang.

"I bet it's a call for you."

Pan Yunsheng hesitated for a moment, got up and walked towards the desk, and said, "You think I'm Lao Peng, I don't bet with you about this kind of thing that I don't have any certainty." ”

Zhao Rundong immediately laughed, Peng Maobang's bet to lose a box of cigarettes to Ji Youguo had already spread.

"I'm Pan Yunsheng...... I see...... Okay, get the report together as soon as possible and put it in my office...... Yes, I'll be right back with new news calling my car phone. ”

"What's new?"

"It's not a big deal, there is an abnormal movement of US ground forces, and it is suspected that the US military is preparing to launch a ground offensive."

Zhao Rundong immediately frowned. "So fast?"

"I don't think it's like it, the U.S. military had an abnormal movement last night, probably preparing for the attack." Pan Yunsheng picked up the cigarette on the coffee table, "This time is also mostly to prepare for a ground offensive, maybe the US military will first annihilate the Iranian ground forces in the border area, and then advance inland." In any case, I'll get back to the MIA right away and get back to you when I have the exact news. ”

"It's okay, I've been there during the day, if you can't find me, call Pang Xinglong."

Pan Yunsheng nodded and left the study.

When the US military will launch a ground offensive is not only an issue of great concern to Pan Yunsheng and the Military Intelligence Bureau, but also an issue that the whole world is concerned about.

Since the US ground forces assembled in the Iran-Iraq border area during the day on the 27th, the outside world has been speculating whether the US military will launch a ground war before the end of the second phase of air strikes. Many "military commentators" speculate on the US military's operational intentions and believe that it is very likely that the US military will launch a ground war ahead of schedule.

Pan Yunsheng doesn't like to speculate, he only likes to make inferences based on intelligence. (To be continued)
