Chapter 87 Letting the Cat Out of the Bag

Office.

Liu Tao met Mr. Al, and the two shook hands warmly like old friends who had known each other for many years.

Soon, he also saw Rashid coming over.

"Mr. Al, Major Rashid, I came here this time to understand, have you received the goods? How was the experience?" Liu Tao said with a smile.

According to his understanding, it would take about sixteen days to reach Iraq by sea from Yangcheng Port.

That is to say, by now, the batch of goods should have arrived in Iraq earlier, and it has been experienced for more than a month.

As a well-known local tyrant in the Middle East, Iraq is rich.

Only a few local tyrants such as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait can be richer than Iraq.

But in terms of the abundance of martial virtue, it has to be Iraq.

Al smiled and said: "My friend, now you have to change your name to Lieutenant Colonel Rashid."

Liu Tao showed a look of surprise. How long has it been, and Rashid has been promoted to a higher rank?

"Thanks to you, my friend, the troops are very satisfied with this batch of goods." Rashid smiled brightly. It was a big promotion from major to lieutenant colonel.

The most important thing is that the country is very satisfied with his work results in China.

"Congratulations, Rashid, my friend!" Liu Tao immediately sent his blessings.

The higher the rank of Rashid, the better, the higher the rank means the greater the right to speak!

The more likely the cooperation between the two sides will be in-depth.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the office became very harmonious.

Liu Tao seemed to be really Iraq's best friend. He admired Saddam very much, calling Saddam a man sent from heaven, a national hero of Iraq and Arabs, and expressed all kinds of disgust and hostility towards Iran.

The three of them chatted happily, like like-minded comrades-in-arms.

"I heard from my friends that you are going to fight the Persians next year and teach them a good lesson. Is this true?" Liu Tao seemed to realize that he had let the cat out of the bag, and quickly covered his mouth and stopped.

But Al and Rashid suddenly shook their bodies and looked at Liu Tao in shock.

Such a high secret, how did Liu Tao know?

Could it be that China's intelligence system has already collected relevant intelligence! ?

They knew that they would really give the Persians a good beating next year. Now they have the support of the two hegemons, the United States and the Soviet Union, as well as the economic support of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, who are also Arabs. They also have the third strongest army in the world. This battle will definitely be a great victory, and it is not impossible to destroy the Persians.

But now, although the two sides are constantly engaged in a war of words, the relationship is becoming increasingly tense, and even small-scale conflicts are constantly occurring, no one knows that they are about to take action. This is a secret.

Liu Tao was very satisfied when he saw the shock of the two people.

He naturally had no intelligence, but he knew very well that the Iran-Iraq War was about to break out.

Use this news to pry open the door to this cooperation and make a lot of money.

"Mr. Al, Lieutenant Colonel Rashid, my friend, please believe me, I am your best friend. As an arms dealer, I have prepared a large number of weapons for you. In addition to the weapons and ammunition traded before, there are also various cannons, tanks, armored vehicles, and even airplanes." Liu Tao said.

When Al and Rashid heard Liu Tao's words, they immediately understood what Liu Tao meant.

This is to do arms business with them, and it is a large order.

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but secretly relieved.

If this information is known to the Persians, the Persians will be prepared, or even take the initiative, the consequences will be disastrous.

Now Liu Tao is just doing business, an arms dealer, and his purpose is to do arms business, so this is easy to deal with!

"My friend, I have felt your sincerity. Please rest assured that our sincerity will satisfy you." Al smiled and then looked at Rashid.

Rashid also said: "5,000 pistols, 50,000 rifles, 1,500 machine guns, 1,000 heavy machine guns, 1,000 heavy sniper rifles, 300,000 pistol bullets, 51 million rifle bullets, 4.5 million heavy machine gun bullets, 100,000 sniper bullets, 100,000 heavy machine gun special seed bullets, 100,000 sniper rifle special seed bullets. In addition, we also need spare parts."

Listening to Rashid's words, Liu Tao was overjoyed.

Although he didn't calculate, a rough estimate is that it might be a contract worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Sure enough, he threw a bomb and bombed a big order.

Good!

Very good!

But he felt that there was still a lot of room for improvement and felt it necessary to test it again: "Mr. Al, Lieutenant Colonel Rashid, my good friend, do you need cannons, tanks, armored vehicles, and airplanes? Although these have poor performance, the price will definitely satisfy you, the quantity is still large, and there are no other conditions."

Al and Rashid looked at each other and made eye contact.

"My friend, cannons, tanks, armored vehicles, and airplanes are not something I can decide. So, give me three days and I will give you an answer." Rashid said.

The Iraqi army wants to purchase advanced weapons and equipment. China's cannons, tanks, armored vehicles, and airplanes are all very backward, and they don't look down on them at all.

Their goal is to purchase the Soviet Union's T72 main battle tank, which is the world's first third-generation tank and the most advanced third-generation main battle tank in the world.

As for aircraft, the Iraqi army also wants to purchase advanced third-generation aircraft rather than China's outdated aircraft.

Liu Tao smiled and said, "Okay, then we will sign this order first. Just give us four or five months to complete your order!"

He had no disappointment in his heart. He was prepared for this. As long as the war started, Iraq would definitely make crazy purchases due to the huge consumption.

It doesn't matter if the performance is a little behind. The most important thing is to be able to purchase in large quantities to consume on the battlefield!

History has proved that Iraq will buy a large number of tanks, armored vehicles, cannons, H-6D bombers, J-7 fighters, Type 69 main battle tanks, etc., with a value of more than 13 billion US dollars.

And he didn't forget that as an arms dealer, he never does business with only one party, but sells goods to two parties!

However, the most important thing now is to sign this order first and get half of the deposit.

As for the others, we can continue to work hard later.

The two sides negotiated quite harmoniously. After making a list, Liu Tao calculated that the order this time was 130 million US dollars, of which the order for guns and ammunition was as high as 125 million US dollars, and the corresponding parts order was 5 million US dollars.

These parts are mainly the barrels of rifles, machine guns, and heavy machine guns, which are also the most easily worn out guns.

Liu Tao was so excited about this. With this order, he didn't need to worry about anything for several months after the Spring Festival, and he could go all out to produce.

For pistol bullets, rifle bullets, and machine gun bullets, he could directly call the inventory in the ammunition depot and go directly to the inventory.

In a good mood, Liu Tao couldn't help but drink an extra glass of wine during the meal, and kept assuring Al and Rashid that as long as the money arrived, their share would definitely not be reduced.

Al and Rashid both smiled knowingly, and felt that it was really pleasant to cooperate with Liu Tao.
