Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

"General, this is not the first time that our two countries have conducted an arms trade. We have conducted arms sales countless times before."

Lin Kaifeng spread his hands and said helplessly: "You know that the weapons we deliver to you are delivered by sea. They arrive at your port by sea. Two months is not enough to transport 300 tanks from the sea to Bayang Country."

General Mahmoud frowned.

Lin Kaifeng is telling the truth.

The two countries have conducted arms deals at least thirty times.

The Bayang Kingdom was well aware of the Long Kingdom's transportation methods.

It is indeed transported by sea.

As for land transportation, it is too difficult.

The border areas between the two countries are both dangerous places with high mountains and steep cliffs.

Not only is the environment bad, the temperature and natural climate are equally bad.

Not suitable for large-scale transportation.

Next, General Mahmoud racked his brains to think of a way to enable Longguo to transport the tanks to Bayangguo as soon as possible.

No matter what.

Curry Country is also a regional power with an army of over one million and various modern weapons and equipment.

The overall strength of the navy, army and air force is several times greater than that of the Bayang Kingdom.

Like other influential major countries, Curry Country also has its own intelligence system.

As the saying goes, the longer the night, the more dreams you have.

Once the news about the Type 59 modified tank spreads, Curry Country will inevitably become alert.

At that time, if the Bayang Kingdom wanted to launch a surprise attack, its success rate would drop sharply.

After three defeats, the Bayang Kingdom suffered countless humiliations. The opportunity to avenge its past shame was right in front of it, but it became a distant dream due to delivery problems.

After thinking it over, General Mahmoud frowned and said bitterly, "General Lin, Minister Li, please consider the traditional friendship between our two countries and think of a way to ship the weapons to us as soon as possible. We really need this batch of arms, and the sooner the better."

Seeing that the fire was almost ready, Lin Kaifeng stood up, stretched his shoulders, and said, "General, do you want to go to the rooftop to get some fresh air and smoke a cigarette?"

"Forget it, I'm not...good now!"

General Mahmoud was about to say that he had no such idea when he noticed that Lin Kaifeng had a strange smile on his face.

Lin Kaifeng invited himself to the rooftop, not just to smoke and relax.

There must be some things that are not convenient to say in front of a third person.

Knowing this, General Mahmoud left his subordinates in the conference room and followed Lin Kaifeng to the rooftop of the conference room alone.

Standing on the rooftop, General Mahmoud said in English: "I am a soldier and I don't know how to beat around the bush. General Lin, just say whatever you want to say. I promise not to leak the content of our conversation to irrelevant people."

Lin Kaifeng put his hands in his pockets, looked into the distance, and said in a playful voice: "General, I need you to give me a clear answer. Have you made up your mind?"

As soon as these words came out.

General Mahmoud immediately understood the implication of Lin Kaifeng's words.

"As long as General Lin can hand over the tanks to us within two months, our determination will not waver in the slightest."

"If other countries intervene, will your resolve remain unshaken?"

"Other countries..."

General Mahmoud frowned.

The other countries mentioned by Lin Kaifeng should be the Soviet Union.

The reason why the Bayang Kingdom and the Long Kingdom could come together and become good friends is that the two countries have a common enemy.

The figure of a superpower can also be seen in the middle.

Think back to the beginning.

When the first war broke out between the Kingdom of Bayang and the Kingdom of Curry, the Soviet Union provided unreserved support to the Kingdom of Curry.

If you want money, give money; if you want weapons, give weapons.

When the Bayang Kingdom was about to be completely occupied by the Curry Kingdom, the Long Kingdom extended a helping hand. On the one hand, it provided weapons to the Bayang Kingdom, and on the other hand, it used its own influence to warn the Curry Kingdom to stop.

In the many years that followed, relations between the two countries became better and better.

Seeing this situation, the United States stepped in and got involved.

A huge amount of money was secretly handed over to the State of Bayang, which then purchased weapons from the State of Long and distributed the weapons to the guerrillas who were resisting the Soviet Union.

"The Bayang Kingdom is fighting for dignity. Even if the Soviet Union intervenes, even if it directly sends troops, we will fight to the end!"

As the confidant of the current commander-in-chief, General Mahmoud gave a clear answer.

"Okay, within two months, the first batch of tanks you need will all be delivered to you. In order to protect the interests of both you and me, some changes need to be made to the transaction payment method."

Lin Kaifeng said calmly: "Pay the full amount in one go."

"Pay the full amount in one lump sum..."

General Mahmoud was stunned for a moment.

Just as I was about to say something, a thought flashed through my mind.

Why did the Northern Machinery Group export the latest third-generation tanks to the Kingdom of Bayang at this time?

The answer is becoming increasingly clear.

At the beginning of the first half of the year, the Curry Country conducted a large-scale military exercise in the border area.

Another pro-war figure was appointed as the military commander-in-chief.

He believed that he had the capital to challenge the Dragon Kingdom again.

In addition to the various advanced weapons provided by the Soviet Union, the Curry Country also wanted to take revenge.

Currently.

The focus of Longguo's development is on economic construction.

I guess he doesn't want to fight with Curry Nation.

There is another thing that is also affecting Longguo’s decision.

The fighting in southern Xinjiang is still going on.

The Long Kingdom does not want to go to war on two fronts, nor does it want to use its precious energy to deal with war-related matters.

This way.

The value of the Bayang Kingdom was reflected.

Comprehensive economic development and improving the quality of life of the people are the top priorities of the Dragon Kingdom.

Investing a large number of troops in a war with the Curry Kingdom is not a cost-effective thing no matter how you look at it.

But the provocation from the Curry Country is imminent.

The Dragon Kingdom needs to learn from the Bayang Kingdom and make the Curry Kingdom give up its armed provocation against the Dragon Kingdom, and at the same time teach the Curry Kingdom a severe lesson.

The reason why Pakistan is required to pay the tank purchase price in one lump sum.

Lin Kaifeng was obviously worried that the State of Pakistan would be hesitant and change its promise after receiving the tanks.

Give up attacking Curry Country.

"can."

After careful consideration, General Mahmoud nodded heavily.

The Pakistani country does not have to pay a penny for the purchase of tanks.

The desert tycoons who finance the project behind the scenes will pay for everything.

General Mahmoud and his subordinates witnessed the combat performance of the Type 59 modified tank with their own eyes.

It is easy to use it to deal with the T-72 tank.

Dealing with the T-80 tank is also not a big problem.

As long as the deployment is proper, victory will surely belong to the Bayang Kingdom.

The main force of the Curry Kingdom was all placed on the Dragon Kingdom, with hundreds of thousands of troops stationed on the border.

Only a small number of garrison troops were left in the area bordering the Bayang Kingdom.

Launch an attack at this time.

Not only would it catch Curry Country off guard, but it would also help boost the President's approval rating.

The next morning, General Mahmoud and the Northern Machinery Group formally signed the tank order contract.

Half a month later, 18 billion US dollars will be transferred to the account of Northern Machinery Group.

At the end of this month, the remaining 80 million in arms funds will also be transferred simultaneously.
