Rebirth of the Flying Era
Chapter 1451 The inevitable war
Faced with the conditions given by Du Fei, Bush was inevitably moved.
No way, Du Fei promised too much.
Although America only expressed serious concern about the crisis in Afghanistan and called on Moscow to exercise restraint, resolve differences and manage disputes through peaceful negotiations.
But in fact, after several rounds of closed-door meetings, the two parties in America have reached a certain consensus.
This is not surprising, no matter whether it is a donkey or an elephant, no one has trouble with money.
After the Vietnam War, they once again had a legitimate reason to devour the nation's wealth.
This time, in the face of the Soviet Union's dispatch of troops, America's first batch of special allocations reached two billion US dollars.
This money will not go directly to the parliament, but will be passed directly from the budget committee in the name of special appropriation.
Faced with such a large piece of cake, no one can eat it alone. The two parties must cooperate in order to reap the benefits.
As Du Fei said, at most one-third of the two billion can be used to help Afhan fight Sulian, and the rest will be eaten up by relevant interest groups.
Du Fei didn't have to think about this benefit, but the remaining $600 million might not be without opportunities.
If you want to get a share of Afhan's business, you must make your decision from America.
Avhan himself has no money, so America and its allies provide money and equipment so that they can persist in resisting.
If you want to take a bite of the benefits here, you must join in and become a part of it.
The only advantage Du Fei can rely on is relatively cheap production capacity.
The same rocket launcher, purchased from Du Fei, leaving enough profit, is still two-thirds cheaper than in America.
Du Fei made it very clear to Zhi Zhi Bu Shi that he only wants one third, and you can share the remaining two thirds as you please.
In other words, two billion US dollars, after layers of subcontracting, turned into US$200 million with Du Fei.
In Du Fei's case, there is still at least double the profit, which means that the final production cost is only 100 million US dollars.
At this moment, Du Fei suddenly realized that in the world before he traveled, America also launched an Afghan war in the 21st century, which cost the public as much as two trillion US dollars in the past two decades.
Many people find it inconceivable that with America's power, advanced military technology, and determination, why can't they spend two trillion to win over a mere Afghan?
Now it seems that there is nothing surprising. According to Du Fei's current ratio, it would be good if two billion US dollars can be used for 100 million in practical applications.
Of the two trillion dollars in the 21st century, I am afraid that the final implementation will be less than 100 billion U.S. dollars, and the amount will only be a few billion dollars more every year.
In addition, another benefit of Du Fei's active participation this time is that he can obtain some production technology of America's equipment.
Although these equipments do not have much high technology, and most of them are relatively basic and simple weapons, they can learn a lot of good experience from his America completed system.
In the past, whether it was the fire-fighting equipment company led by Du Fei or Huaguo's inherent military industry system, it was all the same as Sulian.
We can't say which one is better than the other, we can only say that each has its own strengths.
Before Du Fei traveled through time, Huaguo finally achieved the best of both worlds decades later.
Among them, what Du Fei values especially is the famous Stinger missile. America will most likely not use it in the early stage, but as the Afhan War progresses, in order to deal with Sulian, sooner or later it will have to be used.
There are also rocket launchers specially designed to deal with T-62 and T-64 tanks.
Finally, Zheng Zhi Bu Shi left Kuching in an eager mood.
Although he had reached a preliminary agreement with Du Fei, if he wanted to get the money later, he still had a lot of work to do, to open up various relationships, coordinate the interests of all parties, and appease the senior officials of the relevant factories.
On the contrary, Du Fei's side is relatively simple. He only needs to wait for America's side to coordinate, and then get money to supply weapons to Avhan.
……
Meanwhile, far away in Bagoda.
Sa Damu secretly met with the envoy from America again.
The goals of both parties are clear and consistent.
The only difference is that the price has not been agreed upon.
According to America's wishes, she promised to help Sa Damu ascend to power, and Sa Damu would help them contain Persia.
But Sa Damu believes that even without America, his rise to power will be a matter of course. This is not a bargaining chip at all. If he wants him to go to war with Persia, America needs to show more 'sincerity'.
"Okay~ Mr. Hussein, you win." The middle-aged white man spread his hands helplessly. In order to obtain Sa Damu, the sword that stabbed Persia in the back, he must agree to the other party's request: "We can acquiesce in Babylon's request to the Science and Technology Commission rights of special areas..."
Hearing this, Sa Damu had a smile on his face.
He has never been a quiet person. He has greater ambitions and pursuits than becoming the commander of Babylon.
Kovet, located south of Babylon at the mouth of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, was once part of Babylon. In Zadam's mind, it must return to Babylon the Great.
However, a promise is just a promise. To turn a promise into reality, strength and victory are needed.
Obviously, the young Sa Damu in front of him lacked a deep understanding of this sentence.
He thought that getting America's promise was a sure thing.
After seeing off the American envoy, Sa Damu looked at the car driving away, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.
Next to him is his cousin Majid.
At this time, Majid was still very young, just thirty-six years old. He did not hold an important position, but he was a very trusted person around Sa Damu.
"Ali, how credible do you think America's words are?" Sa Damu stood there with his hands in his trouser pockets and whispered to Majid next to him.
"Brother, based on my understanding of America, their words cannot be trusted at all." Majid stood a position behind Sa Damu. Although the two are cousins, they have eight points of imagination. If we just talk about looks, he He is more like Sa Damu than his biological brother.
Sa Damu said "Yeah" and looked deeply at the direction the car was driving away: "But we have no choice. Babylon wants to become a world-class powerful fruit family again. There is absolutely no hope in continuing to be like this. It must show greater determination. And courage. And...this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If it hadn't been for what happened in Persia, the Americans wouldn't have come to us. The SpeedLinkers can't be relied on either..."
Speaking of this, Sa Damu suddenly remembered something and pursed his lips slightly: "Maybe the Huaguo people are better, but unfortunately their power is too weak to give us enough help."
In comparison, Du Fei's sincerity and attitude in Libya, as well as subsequent cooperation with Najia, Syria, and Babylon, gave Sa Damu a good impression of Du Fei.
Majid remained silent, knowing that Sa Damu's determination would not change.
Sa Damu was silent for more than ten seconds, clenched his fists with both hands, and said in a deep voice: "In short, if we want to get back the glory of Babylon, we must defeat the Persians first." After saying that, he withdrew his gaze from the distance and looked at Majid beside him. : "My brother, you go to Nanyang tomorrow. Du Fei is there now. We need more powerful weapons."
On the other side, the American envoy who had just left was sitting in the back seat of the car, sinking like water. An hour ago, he had just received the news before coming to see Sa Damu that the new ruler of Persia completely ignored America's olive branch.
Although a sudden upheaval occurred in Persia, the Barrie dynasty, which had previously cooperated closely with America, was overthrown.
But America did not think that there was no possibility of continued cooperation with the new Persia. They underestimated the perseverance and persistence of the Persians.
It wasn't until he suffered a complete failure that he had no choice but to agree to Sa Damu's conditions.
As long as Babylon can contain Persia and prevent the entire Persian Gulf from completely collapsing, a price must be paid.
……
The next afternoon, a Babylon Air K-8 passenger plane landed at Kuching Airport.
Since Du Fei's Beijing Aircraft Factory improved the K-8 passenger aircraft on the basis of the Yun-8, more than aircraft have been sold to the outside world.
Customers include North Korea, Siam, Danguo, Malay, Lijiapo, Libya, Egypt, Syria, Babylon, Persia... making Huaguo the third company after America and Sulian to achieve large-scale A company that produces and exports passenger aircraft.
The K-8 passenger plane landed, and as Sa Damu's special representative, Du Fei personally went to the airport to greet him.
At present, the war between Persia and Babylon is becoming increasingly clear.
At this time, Majid suddenly came over, and the purpose was self-evident.
For such a big customer, Du Feixilai spared no expense in hospitality and respect.
"Mr. Du, I would like to say hello to you on behalf of my brother." When Majid saw Du Fei, he immediately jogged down the gangway and shook hands with Du Fei tightly.
Du Fei chuckled and said, "Send my regards to your brother, too. We are best friends."
After shaking hands, Du Fei took Majid and walked outside the airport.
From here you can just see rows of transport planes assembling goods destined for Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
At the same time, there were more than a dozen gunships parked not far away, as well as a larger number of H-7 bombers.
What made Majid's eyes even brighter was that among these large planes, there were several smaller but highly recognizable fighter jets hidden among them.
Majid recognized it at a glance. It was the F-1 fighter jet that was very popular some time ago.
At that time, a tactical raid was used to shoot down a MiG-25, making the F-1 fighter jet shine in front of the world.
The fighters currently in Babylon's hands are all first- and second-generation aircraft.
In the world before Dufy's time travel, it was not until 1981 that Babylon obtained the Mirage fighter jet from France and achieved the record of shooting down a Persian F-14.
At this time, I saw Du Fei's F-18 fighter plane, which was derived from the F-1, and of course I felt greedy.
Unfortunately, Majid knew in his heart that it was impossible for them to obtain such a fighter jet based on the actual situation.
Even so, this trip made Majid truly appreciate the power of Kuching.
Although he had heard of Kuching before in Babylon and had seen a large number of Y-8 transport aircraft taking routes in the Middle East and North Africa, he still could not intuitively understand it.
Until this time, I saw that the huge apron of the expanded Kuching Airport was full of all kinds of aircraft parked.
More importantly, these aircraft are produced by Huaguo itself.
Although Kuching belongs to Indy in name, anyone who knows something about the relationship between flowers and fruits and Nanyang will know what is going on.
After leaving the airport, Du Fei warmly hosted a banquet in honor of Majid.
During the dinner, Majid found an opportunity to mention the purpose of his visit, hoping to purchase some weapons and equipment through Du Fei.
Du Fei put down his drink with a smile. He had already guessed the other party's purpose and said calmly: "Of course, I am very happy to share any good things with my friends. I wonder what you want? What is the approximate total budget?"
Majid had already prepared: "Mainly advanced tanks, armored vehicles, and individual equipment..."
To go to war with Persia, Babylon's current army of more than 200,000 people is definitely not enough. It must carry out a large-scale expansion of the army, and there is a huge gap in the required equipment.
In the world before the time travel, the number of Babylonian troops eventually increased from 24 to 120 million.
And this will be a huge market worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
Du Fei remembered that in the description of the war, Babylon had foreign exchange reserves of 370 billion US dollars before the war, and after the war it became a debt of 450 billion US dollars.
But the war has not started yet, and neither Babylon nor Persia has reached the level of madness in the later period.
Sure enough, when Majid revealed the total budget for this time, it was similar to Du Fei's expectation, only one billion US dollars.
Du Fei was not too disappointed. This one billion US dollars was real money. Unlike the previous cooperation with the orthopedic cloth stone, the amount that finally fell into Du Fei's hands was only 200 million US dollars.
At the current price in the international market and the imminence of war, at least two-thirds of this billion US dollars is profit.
Excluding the portion turned over to the state, the fire equipment company would still have at least US$2.5 million in net profit.
Moreover, this was just the beginning. Before the war started, Sa Damu was too optimistic and underestimated the strength and will of Persia.
He believed that Persia, which had just undergone changes, was no match for the waiting Lion of Babylon, and that the war would end in a short time and end with his victory.
However, Persia has proven with actual actions that one should never underestimate the resilience of an ancient power.
Du Fei was patient enough and would obediently give over the foreign exchange in his hand after Sa Damu suffered a loss.
In addition, Majid also made a request, which was the short-range tactical missile similar to the 'Scud' that Du Fei showed to Sa Damu last time.
Du Fei had no objection to this request. The only thing that needed to be discussed was the price.
As for the quantity, it depends on how much money Sa Damu can afford.
At the end of the meal, Majid was quite satisfied.
Compared with the transactions with America and Sulian, Du Fei's price here is very affordable, and there are no additional conditions. It is a very simple transaction.
The only drawback is that they need to transport it back themselves.
Fortunately, the war has not yet broken out. If Du Fei delivers quickly enough, he should be able to transport this batch of goods back.
Of course, they can also pay extra for freight. If they are willing to pay, Du Fei even agreed to dispatch Y-9s to airlift the tanks they ordered directly to Bagoda.
It's just the cost that makes Majid reluctant to use this VIP-level long-distance air transport service.
