Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 1416

The reason Xie Kai did this was to prevent the Soviets from cheating them.

With the urinary nature of the Soviets, it is absolutely impossible to keep China secret.

The F-14 technology from the United States was obtained from China. In order to cause conflicts between China and the United States, the Soviet Union even deliberately revealed it to the world on certain occasions. China gave them the F-14 technology…

In order to prevent this, Xie Kai planned to let the Iraqis transfer fighters to the Soviets from the beginning.

There is a lot of military cooperation between Iraq and the Soviet Union. After Iraq is provided to the Soviet Union, Xie Kai knows what the consequences will be.

Since Bush Sr. came to power, he has planned to attack Iraq for oil.

For the reason that many Iraqis provide F-14 fighters to the Soviets, the Americans will do something against Iraq.

Otherwise, the Americans would not let the bitter president misunderstand that the United States supported them in launching the war when the silly Damu asked about beating Kuwait.

Then, Damu felt that the U.S. supported him and sent troops to beat Kuwait. The international oil price really went up. Then the Americans blew up Iraq. In the end, Damu who started the war again and raised oil prices didn’t get any benefits… …

Americans want to firmly control the oil in the Middle East, and naturally they want to expand their presence in the Middle East.

The US policy has been this way for the next few decades.

Not only to maintain close cooperation with Saudi Arabia, but also to continuously expand its military presence in the Middle East.

No country in the entire Middle East dared to resist. Whoever resists and beats anyone, just look at the smashed Iraq.

In the future, the United States will not only defeat Afghanistan, but even after it defeats Afghanistan, it will use Saddam to use biological and chemical weapons as an excuse to completely destroy the silly Damu’s rule over Iraq.

In the end, after investigating for several years, all the land of Iraq was searched, and no so-called biological and chemical weapons were found.

But so what?

Apart from leaving a mess for Iraq, nothing was left, and the interests of the United States in the Middle East were guaranteed.

When Xie Kai left that world, in order to completely drive Mao out of the Middle East, the United States even took action against Syria.

What the result is, Xie Kai is not clear.

I only know that the Syrian war has not only made Mao’s already stretched funds even more scarce. EU countries who want not to play with the United States, because of the large-scale influx of refugees from Syria, can no longer form an effective whole to counter the United States… …

Therefore, there is no problem with letting Silly Damu help them carry a pot.

“Mr. Chairman, we did not make any excessive demands. 10 billion rubles, in ten years, repaying 350 million US dollars in foreign exchange every year, and providing 1 billion US dollars of various light industrial products, this is very authentic.”

Xie Kai reminded Ukrainians.

“No, we need to pay a 40% advance payment, 1.2 billion US dollars, 5.4 billion US dollars of light industrial products. The first payment of light industrial products must be delivered within one year.”

Zheng Yucheng wondered how much the Ukrainian conditions could hold down, while Wang Guilin asked the question, “What about the basic technology we require?”

Now I want to get the basic technology of raw material production most.

The Soviets didn’t seem to plan to include these technologies in the overall contract.

Vitor told them directly, “Other technologies can be provided, but these technologies must be paid in one hand, and the technology must be provided in the other. All settlements must be made in foreign exchange, and no industrial products should be used for compensation.”

The Ukrainian response made the 404 people very happy.

The Soviets actually agreed.

Although the requirements are a bit excessive, and the requirements for these technologies are not within the scope of the loan, they do not think there is any problem.

Diminov was afraid that the Chinese personnel would continue to lower prices and warned them, “This is already the final condition, including basic materials and technology, according to your prices, if the payment method does not change, we cannot cooperate.”

This is already the biggest concession the Soviet Union can make.

Is the Soviet Union short of money to such a serious degree?

This is not a problem, anyway, 404 prepared 3.5 billion US dollars.

It seems that American technology can also be eaten.

Xie Kai wondered why the Soviets easily agreed to their terms, which was different from the previous fierce bargaining situation.

Zheng Yucheng looked at him and asked him with dissatisfaction, “Easy is not good, do we have to negotiate for a long time? If we get the technology as soon as possible, we can also improve the package as soon as possible.

Wang Guilin didn’t even think about it so much: “Just get the technology, and worry about so much.”

Both felt that as long as the skills were available, it was enough.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Besides, they have more than half of the down payment.

You can have a good talk with the Americans.

“I’m not afraid that they will fix moths!” Xie Kai looked innocent.

Based on his understanding of the Soviets, other technologies can be provided, but basic raw material technologies cannot be easily obtained.

Even the price has made big concessions.

The medium- and long-range air defense missiles originally priced at US$4 billion, plus seven or eight top-level materials and technologies, are at this price.

Zheng Yucheng and Wang Guilin didn’t care.

How to cooperate, it will be stated in the contract that the Soviet Union will not give technology, and China will definitely not give money.

“The 40% advance payment is a bit too much. They have to provide some technology first.” Zheng Yucheng was afraid that the Soviets would cheat them.

Xie Kai is not worried about this.

Just worry about problems in the later stage of the cooperation, the later technical materials and technical training are the key.

Wang Guilin changed the subject, “Didn’t your brother-in-law be with them? I didn’t see him come to you, why did he go?”

Without Wang Guilin, Xie Kai almost forgot the existence of Liu Dongsheng.

As a translator for the Soviet team, Liu Dongsheng has not contacted Xie Kai these days.

From Liu Dongsheng’s mouth, we should be able to understand why the Soviets made such big concessions so easily.

Xie Kai also thinks Liu Dongsheng’s behavior is strange.

“My brother-in-law has never looked for me, so he was asked to find him, and no one can be seen.”

Xie Kai is also curious as to why Liu Dongsheng can become a translator for the Ukrainian team.

People were sent to contact Liu Dongsheng again, and when Xie Kai was about to go to bed that night, Liu Dongsheng appeared in the 404 office.

Xie Kai almost didn’t recognize Liu Dongsheng in front of him.

He wears an octagonal hat on his head, a shabby old military uniform from the 1970s, and a pair of bell-bottom trousers. He is nondescript, just like an educated youth who has just returned to the city.

“Uncle, what’s your style? I’m not afraid of being arrested and sent to the police station this night…”

Dress up late at night, a bit ridiculous.

Liu Dongsheng gave him a white look, “Do you think I am willing? You can’t let the Soviets and Americans find out, and you have to guard against those plain clothes… Why are you looking for me?”

“Ukraine asked you to do an interpreter to test you?” Xie Kai didn’t talk nonsense.

Liu Dongsheng shook his head and nodded again.

“Testing is part of the factor. The main reason is that they don’t understand the domestic situation. At any rate, I also went out from the country? I have some relatively large cooperation with them. There are business reasons for returning this time. I want to help them develop a batch of products. Going back… Ukraine is now very tight, and the situation is more complicated than you previously understood.”

Liu Dongsheng introduced the latest situation in Ukraine to Xie Kai.

The Ukrainian economy is in serious condition.

The Ukrainian government is now trying to do everything possible to make funds. These funds are not only related to Ukrainian government expenditures, but also related to the operating rate of the entire industrial system.

“They have always been short of money.”

Xie Kai didn’t expect the Soviet Union to agree so easily because of this reason.

The entire Soviet Union is short of money, and the construction of Ukrainian aircraft carriers and An-124 has almost stalled.

“It’s hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, not to mention that a country needs more funds to operate.”

“The reason why the Ukrainians made such a big concession is that before the departure, Oleg, Chairman of the Soviet Military Industrial Committee, personally went to Ukraine to scold the relevant personnel and issued a death order, demanding that they must cooperate in any case and obtain funds as soon as possible. With the urgently needed light industrial products in the Soviet Union…In addition, if this cooperation is successfully completed and the effect is good, the Soviet Union will further expand its technology exports to the country…”

Xie Kai was stunned.

He can understand that the Ukrainian government is active. How could it be possible that the Soviet government is so eager?

For the Soviets, no matter how difficult the situation is, the pride and pride are indelible.

Now Liu Dongsheng tells him that this is what the Soviet government meant.

What about the dignity of a great country?

“Ruble is converted to U.S. dollar. The official Soviet exchange rate is still 1:0.8. On the black market, one U.S. dollar can be exchanged for more than ten rubles. The exchange rate gap is too great. The Soviet government has nothing to do with the economy… Under such circumstances, you can go further. Lower prices and put forward more technical requirements…”

Liu Dongsheng told Xie Kai very seriously.

In this cooperation negotiation, China lost a great opportunity and lost a lot of benefits.

For not taking advantage of the Soviets, Xie Kai didn’t care.

In this cooperation, 404 has already taken a big advantage.

If it is too ruthless, it will affect the follow-up at that time. Their cooperation this time is not only for supporting the technology, but also after the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

Liu Dongsheng said that the black market exchange rate between the ruble and the U.S. dollar has been more than ten to one, and Xie Kai suddenly became more vigilant.

He was afraid of the premature disintegration of the Soviet Union.

The existence of 404 has robbed a lot of business in the Soviet Union.

“You didn’t convert your dollars into rubles, did you?”

Once the Soviet Union disintegrates, the Soviet ruble will become a pile of waste paper.

Liu Dongsheng shouldn’t convert his US dollars into rubles, he will be in trouble.

“I’m so stupid? The situation is like this. Why don’t you put hard currency in exchange for Soviet waste paper? In Ukraine, the dollar is far better than the ruble. Many of their officials want to use the ruble to exchange it for the dollar. If the level is not enough, that won’t work. …”

Speaking of this, Liu Dongsheng looked awkward.

He is now the god of wealth for Ukrainian officials.

Xie Kai breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Dongsheng didn’t have much funds in his hands, and once all were exchanged for rubles, he would lose money by then.

“However, I have also exchanged a lot of rubles. I have tens of millions in my hands, and the cost is less than three million dollars. The tens of millions of rubles are now all used to purchase Soviet industrial equipment, and to deal with their low-level personnel, I need rubles and dollars. It’s too much trouble…”

Xie Kai does not pay attention to these things.

He is concerned about the exchange rate between the Soviet ruble and the U.S. dollar. Why has it changed so much on the black market?

Suddenly he thought of someone.
