Chapter 220 Winning is numb! (Including adding 715 for the leader 'qiz') Asking for a monthly ticket

In the living room of Universal Building, Fatty Harvey met Universal President Sidney Sheinberg.

Sidney Sheinberg is 50 years old, wears black glasses, has a clean shaven beard, and has a cute smile.

Sidney Sheinberg is one of the most successful presidents of Universal. He originally worked in MCA, Music Corporation of America. After MCA annexed Universal, he became the president of Universal.

Before he took the stage, Universal could only live on its laurels. After he took the stage, he successively produced films such as "Jaws", "ET Alien", "Moonlight Panic", and brought Universal back to the front line of Hollywood.

Of course, this is not the reason why he is known as the most successful president. The real reason is that he sold Universal and MCA to the Japanese for 6.6 billion, which made the Japanese hard.

"Mr. Sidney, I am here on behalf of Sean Films. You know, I released the movie "Basic Instinct"." This meeting was more formal, and Harvey directly stated his purpose.

"I know, and then?" Sidney Sheinberg's face became serious when talking about the business.

"Maybe we did hit the same date, but, I think..."

"What?" Sidney said coldly.

"Isn't this a bit too much? We can compete normally, what do you think, Mr. Sidney?"

"Excessive!" Sidney Sheinberg's face became a little ugly, "I see that you are the ones who are excessive!"

"Universal's release plan was set long ago. It's you, remember, it's you who chose this date to hit it!"

"The major companies, with so many movies released, why did they deliberately bump into Universal?"

"Or, if you think Universal is no longer good enough, you can bully it as you please!"

Speaking of this, Sidney Sheinberg was very angry. When he received "Basic Instinct" and "Falcon Condor", he just felt annoyed. Later, he heard that Sean Pictures' When the super-big production "Die Hard" actually collided with "Soldier from Heaven" again, everyone was furious.

One can be said to be a coincidence, but two in a row?

Is this because they are not pleasing to the eyes of Universal, and come up to attack Universal? !

Who gave them the guts!

I think the oldest film company in Hollywood is easy to bully.

Still think MCA is easy to bully?

Or maybe he thinks Sidney Sheinberg is a bully!

Anyone who occupies the pit and is about to shit, will be furious if someone suddenly comes up next to him and wants to occupy half of the pit.

A stick of rice sticks to your face!

Hearing what Sidney Sheinberg said, Harvey quickly shook his head to express that he didn't mean it, and everything was a misunderstanding.

"Misunderstanding? Are you trying to say that you didn't know that the two films in the same period belonged to Universal?" Sidney Sheinberg sneered, and he wouldn't believe it.

"Uh..." Harvey looked embarrassed. He always thought he could speak well on weekdays, but now, he really didn't know how to say it.

Can he say that Boss Xiao deliberately chose Universal after reviewing all the films produced and distributed by major companies this year?

Huh...?

Harvey was a little dazed, as if Sean really bumped into it on purpose!

He didn't dare to say that. If he did, Sidney might not have strangled him on the spot.

He could only keep saying that it was a misunderstanding, that there was absolutely no need to do this, that it was a kind of harm to Universal, and that he would check to see if something went wrong when he went back, and then come to Sidney to communicate.

Sidney saw that Fatty Ha subdued, and his attitude improved.

Leaving from Universal, Harvey looked distressed. He had to meet and explain this matter clearly to Sean.

...

"Did I bully him on purpose?" Sean looked at Harvey who was chasing him in a daze, "Do I have any?"

"Mr. Sean, do you still remember what you said when you selected the schedule?" Harvey asked helplessly.

Sean blinked his eyes, took a sip of the milk Diane handed over, and tilted his head to recall.

"Universal is filming what the hell. It's been a fucking year. If it weren't for Spielberg to support them, I think Universal is about to go bankrupt."

"Sidney Sheinberg? A person who engages in music dishonestly engages in his own music and films, isn't that bullshit?"

"The seven major companies, Universal and the fucking Disney are fighting each other, and one is worse than the other."

"Don't mess with the others, just go to Universal, just watch them arrange the screening!"

Well, Sean couldn't help scratching his head when he recalled what he said that day.

It seems that I really feel that Universal is easy to bully, and then take the initiative to bump into it.

"But damn, they are really rubbish!" Sean spread his hands, with a weird expression, helpless, and funny.

"They are such rubbish, if you don't bully them, who am I to bully!"

"You can only cut flesh from Universal."

"Just tell me what Universal has been like in the past ten years."

In the past ten years, just last year in 1985, Universal did well. One "Back to the Future" won the box office championship, and one "Out of Africa" ​​took the sixth place in the box office list. But last year, Sean's first electric shock " The Bank Robbery took fourth place.

Going forward, in the three years of 1984, 1983, and 1982, there was only one Spielberg's "ET Aliens", and then there was no more, losing money!

It looked good in 1981, and it had a second place at the box office, but it was released, and the movie was made by Jane Fonda and his daughter.

Then, there was no more. In 1975, Spielberg gave Universal a "Jaws", and in 1978 "Jaws 2", and for so many years left, Universal did almost nothing.

"Then what should we do now? President Sidney is very annoyed, indeed, if we bump into each other this time, if Universal doesn't say anything..." Harvey shook his head, he was not optimistic about Universal's movie today, at least he watched "French Open Condor".

Hmm, predictable garbage.

Losing money this year, and then being ridden on the head by Sean Films to shit and pee without any response, Sidney will just wait to resign.

"Fuck you." Sean scratched his head irritably, he really didn't want to change gears.

Movies are not only filmed and released, but also human.

He was still thinking about the Iraq issue, and the issue of distribution came up again.

"Fatty man, you can't fucking do this thing well, what's the use of me asking you to release it!" Sean was in a irritated mood, pointing at Harvey and scolding, "I might as well give Universal a Save face, let them issue it to me!"

Harvey bowed his head, not daring to say anything, the date was set by you, and you are scolding me now...

"Co-published with Universal, he will share half of the publishing fee!" Sean said with a look of displeasure.

"Here, more than half of it is only 10% of the distribution fee. Universal won't ask for that amount of money. Isn't that a beggar on your knees?" Harvey smiled wryly.

He would rather lose some money, but Universal would not be so ashamed.

Such a precedent cannot be set.

Damn it, Sean scolded, "You'd better give me that idea, otherwise, don't open your broken company and merge it directly."

The corner of Harvey's mouth twitched, and he said for a while: "Either you look at this, first privately promote "Die Hard" and continue to collide with Universal, and then I will publicly say that those are rumors in a few days, and "Die Hard" will avoid it. Universal, it can be regarded as a softening for Universal."

Sean tilted his head and stared at Harvey, staring at Harvey, breaking out in cold sweat, "Sidney's face is face, and mine is not face."

"I don't mean that." Harvey waved his hand quickly.

"I don't care what you mean, "Basic Instinct" is ready, and the schedule cannot be changed. At most, "Die Hard" will be postponed due to the increase in post-production time." Sean waved his hand domineeringly, "How much do you want me to do? The distribution fee of tens of millions, you can't fucking sell it for my face!"

"Find out the rest on your own. Whether you bribe Sidney or exchange other benefits, I don't care."

"That's it, you go out."

Harvey left with a depressed face, and Sean was also in a bad mood. In his opinion, the fat man was a little confused and too greedy.

Now I still need Harvey's distribution capabilities in North America, especially the distribution of videotapes after the release, secondary screenings in small local movie theaters, etc., after I have built up distribution capabilities.

Fatty Ha has no value.

Of course, the establishment of distribution channels is not that simple.

After sending Harvey away, and absent-mindedly spending a day with Diane in New York, Sean called the phone number left there.

On the phone, the other party confirmed that it was Sean himself, and seemed very enthusiastic. Sean didn't ask who the other party was, but just communicated briefly.

Sean said, "There is nothing that can't be solved by spending money. If there is, it must be that the money is not enough."

The Iraqi side stated that money is not a problem!

Money is not a problem, so Sean is even less of a problem. No matter what, Sean brought the President of the Umbrella Company, Bill Langton, consultant Leighton Stevens, and the commander of the Naval Warfare Division, the ship Robert A. Owens. Captain, Colonel Dennis Abbott, commander of the Marine Division.

A group of 5 people flew directly from New York to Ankara, the capital of Turkey.

Then I chartered a flight from Ankara to Baghdad, the capital of Iraq.

After the five people landed at Baghdad Airport, they found that the entire airport was under martial law. A middle-aged man in military uniform was looking at Sean who came out of the cabin with a smile on his face.

When we met, before Sean could speak, the middle-aged man in military uniform walked up enthusiastically, stretched out his hand and introduced himself, "I'm Ali Hassan Majid, nice to meet you, Mr. Rockefeller."

Leighton Stevens whispered behind Sean: "The cousin of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, the Minister of Defense of Iraq."

"Hi, nice to meet you, Minister Ali Hassan Majid, just call me Sean, all my friends call me." Sean smiled and shook hands with the other party, correcting the address by the way.

The Rockefeller that the old guy just yelled made Sean feel a little uncomfortable.

The meaning is impure!

After all, Sean only had time to take a good look at the man in front of him, saying that the old guy was a bit too much, only in his early 40s, slightly fat, Sean remembered, and then this guy seemed to be shot.

However, that was at least 20 years later.

Cameras clicked and clicked constantly, and both of them smiled and posed for the camera.

There is a military band playing next to it, which is the same as welcoming national leaders.

Sean has no problem with Iraq sending a defense minister to meet him.

He also often squabbled with the future president, kicked it several times, and visited the current vice president several times.

The Minister of Defense of Iraq is not enough to make Sean feel flattered.

After exchanging pleasantries at the airport for a while, the group was picked up by Ali and arranged in a large villa not far from the presidential palace.

The luxury of the villa is beyond Xiao En's imagination, as long as the place that can be inlaid with gold is inlaid with gold and jewelry.

Doesn't the local tyrant gold seem too rich?

Sean didn't know, anyway, he didn't like it very much, it seemed that people in desert areas had this kind of taste since ancient times.

Although it was just a business negotiation without a word, the Iraqi side was still very solemn.

A reception was held in the evening, and President Saddam did not come, which made Sean a little regretful. However, several of Saddam’s sons arrived. Uday, a 22-year-old young man, is tall and thin, and looks pretty good A handsome, 20-year-old Qusay, chubby and mostly old-fashioned, with a mustache like Ali's, or more precisely, Saddam's.

The moment he saw Cousy, Sean felt that this little guy was a cunt.

In comparison, Uday, who holds his forehead high and walks windily, looks like he has no brains.

However, both of them are dudes who eat, drink, whore, gamble and smoke a lot. In this regard, they are different from Xiao En...

Ah bah, it's all a joke.

Sean never likes this one!

The nature is completely different.

Saddam's family was still very enthusiastic, and the couple who rested at night sent 10 young girls.

They are said to be pure virgins.

Sean refused verbally, but Uday said that this was Iraq's enthusiasm, and it was to let Sean experience the Arab culture. This is cultural exchange and art!

No way, Sean could only reluctantly agree.

However, before the break, Sean still specially instructed Layton Stevens.

The old man is 60, Sean doesn't want to come to Iraq, the old man was sent away directly...

He was ready to take this stimulation that he shouldn't have to bear at his age instead of old man Layton.

But the old man Layton didn't appreciate it, and said very forcefully that he was in good health, although he was quite old and his strength was weak, he regretted the momentum of Yueyang City.

Sean could only shake his head and walk away cursing.

this night...

In the bright moonlight in front of the bed, there are three people facing each other.

...

Early the next morning, Sean was in good health and woke up as if nothing had happened. The other two were a little sluggish, but the breakfast was going to be cold, and old man Layton didn't come down.

In the end, Layton came down by leaning on the wall.

Sean has a bad feeling...

Erbajia's body looks like a crisp, and she beheads the old man with a sword at her waist.

The people in Iraq are so insidious, they actually abolished one of my generals!

It's not a formal discussion, everyone still communicated with each other, and held another banquet at noon, but this time there were fewer people.

Ali Hassan Majid communicated with Sean and the others while eating.

The background of the Iran-Iraq War is very complicated. It has been fought for five full years. In the past five years, the blood of Yilang and Iraq has almost dried up. However, the grievances between the two sides are too deep, and now they can't do it if they don't want to fight.

Among the local wars after World War II, the Iran-Iraq War was relatively tragic, and the weapons and equipment were very advanced.

Back then, the United States supported the former government of Ilang to fight against the Soviet Union. It really put in effort, with many advanced weapons and equipment including fighter jets.

Including 79 F-14A, 32 F-4D, 177 F-4E and 28 F-5F, the Ilang Royal Air Force at its peak once had 450 advanced fighters and about 5,000 well-trained pilots.

Iraq also has a large number of MiG-21, MiG-23, Su-22, H-6 and so on.

In terms of air power, the two countries are already very powerful.

Of course, we can also see something interesting from it. Ilan, which is supported by the Soviet Union, uses American aircraft, and Iraq, which is supported by the United States, uses Soviet aircraft...

Oh, yes, there is also the H-6, yes, that is the rabbit’s H-6...

In the last battle, the rabbit won the numbness.

"As long as it does not violate the laws of the United States, it is a purely commercial activity. Our umbrella company is a purely commercial company and does not represent any political position." Xiao En said with a smile: "Business has nothing to do with politics."

Ali wouldn't believe that bullshit business has nothing to do with politics, but as long as the umbrella company can complete the task, it doesn't matter.

"We hope that you can launch a surprise attack on the military base here at a specific time to completely destroy the base. If you can't, you must persist for more than an hour to buy time for us." Ali took out a map and pointed A military stronghold on the border of Ilan on the Persian Gulf.

What the other party said was not true, and Xiao En didn't ask carefully before reaching an agreement, "We need to know the specific strength of this military base in Yilang, what functions it has, and what equipment it has."

"This is a missile launch base. We don't know the specific strength and equipment." Ali spread his hands.

Sean didn't answer directly, but leaned his head closer to Dennis Abbott and asked in a low voice, "I remember Iraq had Scud missiles, why didn't they use missiles to directly level this shit base."

"There are Scuds, there are quite a few. The Soviet Union sold them, but the problem is that the Scuds don't have that ability." Dennis Abbott explained in a low voice, and it was only then that Sean understood why ground troops were needed to advance.

The Scud is a ground-to-ground tactical ballistic missile, a copy of the German V-2 missile, but this shit is inertial-guided, with a maximum range of only 300 kilometers, and its accuracy is impressive.

The prediction accuracy is 300, but it is actually more exaggerated than this. After all, there will be errors in the prediction target...

And they are all just ordinary warheads, which can hold 860 kilograms of explosives and have a killing radius of about 150 meters.

That is to say, it is very likely that once a missile passes by, nothing will happen to the target.

And even if it hits the target, due to the problem of the amount of charge, it can only have a good killing effect on ground targets, but it is really powerless for underground construction.

"Can you fight?" Sean was more concerned about this.

"Yes, at least one hundred people are needed, tanks and armored vehicles must be coordinated, and there must be enough air support. Two Black Hawks are definitely not enough." Dennis Abbott frowned and said: "In addition, if this military base is not enough If the Lang people are important, the other party will send support soon."

"They have planes, F-14s, and once air support arrives, our Black Hawks are the targets."

"Our advantage is that we have a warship that is more advanced in the world. My personal suggestion is to rely on warships to fight and give full play to our strengths."

"Of course, the Marine Division is not afraid of war, it's just...the loss will be huge."

"Of course, we are here to make money, not to kill the Iraqis." Sean nodded in agreement.

With a light cough, Sean looked at Ali, with a smile on his lips, his tone changed from his previous seriousness to a frivolous one, "Okay, Minister Ali, let's not go around in circles, it's not interesting."

"As for me, I don't like to be as rigid as the older generation. I prefer to be more direct."

"I don't have any political stance, no matter what kind of bullshit grievances, politics, religion, I'm here to make money!"

"Whoever gives the money, I will do it for him!"

"As for me, let me talk about my advantages. If there are those with a lot of money and no effort, introduce them to me. Don't waste everyone's time on such thankless things."

The corner of Ali Hassan Majid's mouth twitched. He had a lot of contact with the Soviets and Americans, and he had countless negotiations, but this was the first time he had seen this.

How much money is effortless, how dare you think about it!

"Currently, I have a Keeling-class guided missile destroyer under my umbrella. You must be familiar with the Keeling-class. There are three ships in Yilang on the opposite side. I won't introduce more about the ones I sold to them before."

"What, you have a Keeling-class destroyer?!" Ali suddenly stood up from his seat and looked at Sean in horror, "This is impossible!"

"But it's a fact. The warship is currently being refitted at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Virginia, and it's about to go into the water." Sean shrugged, spread his hands, and pouted three times.

"Crazy, this is simply, unbelievable, my God." Ali was shocked and some of the quotations became coherent.

If they want to hire an umbrella company, they will naturally understand the military power of the umbrella.

Especially after the video of the Cartagena joint exercise was released.

Iraq knows that Sean's umbrella has a large number of American veterans, including 2 Black Hawk gunships, 2 tanks, and multiple armored transport vehicles.

Whether it is on helicopters, tanks or armored vehicles, these equipment are better than what Iraq currently has.

The Black Hawk gunship is currently only equipped with the United States, and has not yet released foreign sales.

Not to mention Apache.

This force is very powerful, and it can play a very strong role on the frontal battlefield. They are also Americans, and the boss's surname is Rockefeller, so Iraq has the intention of hiring them to try.

It doesn't matter even if you don't succeed, it's purely with the mentality of hitting two shots whether you have a date or not.

It's just that there has never been any intelligence showing that the umbrella company has warships!

Although the Keeling class can only be used as a target ship to blow up in the United States, it is still the overlord class that can be sold all over the world.

It is precisely because Ilang has three Kielin-class destroyers sold to them by the Americans during the Pahlavi Dynasty that Ilang can control the Persian Gulf and ensure the smooth flow of their oil output lines.

As for Iraq, because the coastline is only 58 kilometers narrow, the navy or something...

If we don't talk about the navy, we are still friends.

After the start of the Iran-Iraq War, a Wolf-class frigate was ordered from Italy last year, and one was just delivered last year.

Since there was no naval power before, the warships are not yet proficient in operating...

The navy is a high-tech arm, and training is really difficult. It takes several years to train a qualified navy.

In this regard, Sean took advantage of the US military.

The displacement is basically the same as that of the Keeling class. The anti-ship missile is equipped with the Automate anti-ship missile. The launch weight is 770 kg, the warhead is 210 kg, and the range is 60 kilometers.

It's about the same as the French flying fish, and far worse than the American harpoon Sean got.

You can tell from the name, flying fish, harpoon, it looks like it is specially made for it.

In terms of air defense, Italy's wolf-class frigates use the American-made "Sea Sparrow" air defense missile system.

Sean's Killing was equipped with...no.

Of course, Sean won't say this, he doesn't have it now, he'll pretend it when he goes back.

In other words, at present, Sean's sea power alone is as powerful as the entire Iraq...

This is absolutely not expected by Ali.

This was the first time he had heard of the privately owned naval guided missile destroyer, which made Ali feel a little overwhelmed.

After all, this thing is a big money burner, and ordinary people, well, even ordinary billionaires can't afford it.

Take the Harpoon anti-ship missile, which costs 970,000 US dollars per shot.

Most small countries can't handle it...

I don't even know how the money... how the invoice was issued.

How much rebate...

"I want to emphasize one point. Yilang's Keeling-class destroyers are different from mine. After all, they are the export version and the full version. They are FRAM Type 1 modified ships, and mine are Type 2 modified ships. In terms of firepower, they completely beat them, including Your wolf-class frigate, I'm afraid you will sink if you don't have a chance to meet each other." Sean said with an apologetic expression.

He knows the specific combat power, but at this time, he must blow it out.

"I'm armed with a Harpoon missile launch system."

"Harpoon, I think you must be familiar with it. Just 4 years ago, it just sank the British Sheffield."

"You have to understand that we have such a big guy at sea, and all operations will be done around the Killing class."

"So, let's talk about something serious."

"Of course." Ali seemed very excited, but he didn't agree directly. He wanted to go back and discuss with Saddam and the others.

The rest of the banquet was just chatting. Until the next day, Ali came to the door again. This time, he did not talk about anything specific, but invited important people to visit the presidential palace.

Sean finally met the legendary "Middle East Lion" Saddam Hussein.

Slightly fat, with a square face, and a mustache. As for the cruelty and murder in the legends of later generations, Sean has not discovered it for the time being.

What he likes to massacre, like to watch the execution scene, torture and so on, until he sees it with his own eyes, Sean will not believe the things reported by the media.

Meeting, introducing, shaking hands, exchanging greetings, taking pictures, a set of procedures followed, and then the two parties began to talk about business.

By the way, Sean got another autographed photo of the president.

After the formal negotiation started, what surprised Sean was that the Iraqi side actually wanted to ask the umbrella side to help with the escort.

"Escort!?" Sean looked at Saddam in surprise.

"Yes, escort!" Saddam affirmed: "From the rabbit side, escort a cargo ship to ensure that they reach the Basra Naval Base safely."

Sean and Leighton Stevens looked at each other in time, isn't this a dart board?

"I need to know a few things. First, what exactly is being transported?" Sean looked at Saddam.

"Weapons, tanks, armored vehicles, missiles, steel, and spare parts for many weapons." Saddam did not hide it.

Weapons, tanks?

Sean was taken aback for a moment, and he glanced at Leighton Stevens in confusion.

Leighton Stevens turned his head and whispered in Sean's ear: "Over the past year or so, Iraq has purchased a large amount of weapons in that big country in the east, including fighter jets, artillery, tanks, armored vehicles, missiles, um, to be precise , Both Iran and Iraq are purchasing arms from Rabbit.”

"Ah? Is Rabbit's ammunition so useful?" Sean looked confused. If his memory is correct, Rabbit's weapons in the 1980s were probably improved after World War II, compared to the Soviet Union. It's a lot worse. If it's specific to the Air Force and the Navy, it's also much behind the other two hooligans.

"It's cheap!" Leighton Stevens spread his hands helplessly, "In addition, a large amount of Iraqi military equipment is Soviet-style, and Rabbit's products can be seamlessly linked."

Cheap! ?

Sean almost laughed out loud, this is so cheap.

Sean can clearly remember that there were signs of layoffs in the 1980s. A large number of factory products could not be sold, and the weapons inventory owned by the world's largest army was too much.

Cheap beyond imagination.

If you think about it, you will understand, if you buy a US-made M16, if you buy a Type 56, how much can you buy?

What's more, this thing is durable, and the failure rate in desert areas is much lower than that of M16, although the accuracy is indeed low...

However, it is free shooting anyway, who pays so much attention to it.

Not to mention tanks.

How much is the M48 made in the United States?

How much is the Type 69 medium tank?

Yes, the 100mm smoothbore gun is far worse than the 105mm rifled gun.

But it's cheap!

Yes, the accuracy and power are much lower.

But it's cheap!

Yes, the protective ability is even worse, and there is no three-defense ability.

But it's cheap!

The price difference has been many times. After five years of bad war, the oil rich family has no surplus food.

Not to mention missiles, how much is Hongqi 2? How much is a scud?

A J-7 only costs $3 million. If Sean hadn't considered his status, he would have placed an order to buy a few for fun.

F-14 is good, $25 million!

He was reluctant to go out, if this was shot down, his intestines would regret it.

Hearing what Layton Stevens said, Sean finally understood.

According to later statistics, Rabbit sold more than 2,500 tanks to Yilang and Iraq successively, accounting for 80% of the total production, other 59-1 cannons, more than 1,000 Type 63 armored vehicles, dozens of J-6, J-7 fighter jets, Hongqi-2 air defense missiles, etc.

More famously, it also sold the H-6 medium-range strategic bomber.

Only the United States and the Soviet Union have strategic bombers in the world. The Rabbit's H-6 is a copycat of the Soviet Union. Due to its short legs, it can only be regarded as a medium-range strategic bomber.

This thing was later used by Iraq to target the oil tanker selling oil to Iran, and the French Mirage F1 was responsible for escorting it.

Such a story happened back then, Saudi Arabia bought missiles.

In 1987, the penultimate year of the Iran-Iraq War, Saudi Arabia next door to Iraq thought about safety, safety, or fucking safety.

How can it be safe?

Buy missiles, buy missiles that can be very advanced!

Saudi Arabia has prepared 13 billion U.S. dollars and wants to buy the "Lance" ballistic missile from America.

The spear missile is a ground-to-ground tactical missile with relatively advanced performance. The maximum range is only 120 kilometers, which is worse than the Scud. However, this thing is fast, can reach a factor of 3, has a height of 45 kilometers, and an accuracy of 150 meters.

Vehicle launch, short launch preparation time, convenient operation, easy training, transport vehicle has amphibious maneuverability, good off-road performance.

America feels that the Middle East cannot have such awesome weapons, which is not conducive to regional chaos, ah bah, is not conducive to regional peace.

Saudi Arabia is very angry, if you don't let me buy a spear, then I will buy a better one, I want to buy a big guy that can hit all the surrounding countries!

So, I went to John Bull again, and it turned out that John Bull himself didn't have such awesome things.

Just when Saudi Arabia was very distressed, he suddenly thought of the rabbit who has been wandering between Iran and Iraq in recent years and repeatedly sold goods.

Then, they secretly sent someone to sneak into the rabbit's nest.

It's sneaking in. We didn't establish diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia in 1987. At that time, Saudi Arabia and Wanwan were "friends".

The mustache with the head covered suddenly appeared near the rabbit's military base, and he asked, okay, I want to buy the one with a big root,

Thick, long, hard,

People will be very excited, very exciting, very motivated after owning it!

Dongfeng-3" is a medium-range ballistic missile with a maximum range of 2,800 kilometers.

This range means that it became the missile with the longest range in the Middle East at that time, covering not only the entire territory of Iran, Iraq and Israel, but even parts of India and the Soviet Union.

According to legend, when the price was being discussed, the Chinese side made a '1' gesture.

It means 10 million. This price is already very expensive. After all, everyone knew the cost of rabbit things at that time.

State-owned military enterprises do not have much money.

Saudi Arabia: 100 million?

Chinese: (O_o)???

Saudi: OK!

Chinese: Ah! !

Saudi Arabia: USD?

Chinese: Huh? o_O||

Saudi: OK!

Chinese: Ah! !

One root is one billion,

USD, cash settlement!

The whole process was ignorant. Rabbits at that time were not so valuable in the whole country. Before the J-7, the price was only 3 million.

That is unprecedented.

I never thought, let alone experienced, that one can be sold for so much money.

At that time, all Dongfeng 3 warheads were nuclear warheads. For this reason, a new conventional warhead was specially designed and manufactured for Saudi Arabia.

It weighs 2 tons!

In the end, 35 Dongfeng Express cars were sold for $3.5 billion.

What is the concept of 3.5 billion U.S. dollars? You must know that in those years, Rabbit’s foreign exchange reserves were only 2 billion.

The 2 billion is still the money from repeatedly selling weapons back and forth between Iran and Iraq.

Quenching my thirst!

Rabbit products were very backward back then, and there was nothing that could be exported to earn foreign exchange. At that time, it was still an oil-exporting country.

Earning foreign exchange depends on arms!

These 35 Dongfeng brand couriers have protected the peace of Saudi Arabia for decades.

This is because, on August 2, 1990, Iraq brazenly invaded Kuwait, and 10 hours later, the entire territory of Kuwait fell.

This is still Iraq in great decline after the Iran-Iraq War...

After occupying Kuwait, 100,000 troops approached the eastern border of Saudi Arabia.

At a critical moment, "Dongfeng-3" appeared on Saudi Arabia's official TV station. The Saudi military transported multiple "Dongfeng-3" missiles to the launch base, ready to 'biu', 'biu', 'biu'...

38, 2 tons of warheads, can wipe out half of Baghdad, and then Iraq will withdraw its troops.

Throughout the eight years of the Iran-Iraq War, Rabbit sold a large number of weapons to the Middle East. Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and Pakistan dared to sell anything, and they were all the most advanced.

Most of the foreign exchange used in those years came from this way, which solved the big problem.

So, who won the Iran-Iraq war?

rabbit,

They all won.

Now, what Iraq means is to ask Sean to send a warship escort to protect the ships transporting weapons through the Persian Gulf safely.

Due to the long coastline of Yilang, the entire Persian Gulf, including the Gulf of Oman, is within the strike range of the Yilang Navy.

It is very difficult for Iraq to transport weapons in, and it needs to borrow a farewell country.

It costs money to transport weapons and say goodbye to countries, and it is slow, inconvenient, and may be detained at any time.

Therefore, if Sean can help escort, then Saddam would rather spend more money.

Of course, there is also the intention of letting Xiao En touch the Yilang Navy. It would be even better if he could sink the Yilang warship.

Escort, this job is fine!

Sean is still very excited. Although there is a danger of doing it, the possibility of not doing it is even greater.

Unless Yilang is a lunatic, then there is Iraq holding him back!

After discussing with several people, in principle, Xiao En agreed, and the rest is to talk about money.

"Escort, but also face the threat of the Yilang Navy. It may be done at any time. If you have less, I will definitely not take it. The danger is too great. My warship costs hundreds of millions."

"As for me, I'm not someone who takes advantage of others' dangers. Let's keep my capital, just 100 million dollars, cash." Sean looked at Saddam with a smile.

Saddam's forehead was throbbing with veins, if it wasn't for the fact that Sean is an American, he would have scolded him, it's so fucking black.

"How much does it cost me to build a warship? Just how much is a Harpoon missile? 3 million. If there is a fight, 20 million won't be able to stop it every minute. Your 10 million is like asking me to escort you. Then you find someone else Come on, look who dares in the whole world!" After some haggling, Sean held on to the price of 50 million and refused to let go.

Rabbit's navy at this time is really not good enough to deliver goods to the door.

The United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and France are definitely capable, but they are the military, and it’s fine to escort non-military facilities. This kind of escorting of weapons is unless you are preparing to go to war.

And the only ones who have the ability to do this kind of escort work in private are the Xiao En family.

It's a unique business, so don't ask for a deadly price! ?

As for Iraq, borrowing from other countries, hundreds of tanks, hundreds of armored vehicles, and artillery are driven directly from other countries' land, and they are not willing to pay high prices.

In the end, Sean promised, they also delivered the cargo ship.

On the surface, this shipment has nothing to do with Iraq, it is a freighter bound for Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

Send hidden bids.

50 million U.S. dollars, and finally Saddam reluctantly agreed.

A security service order worth 50 million U.S. dollars was signed, and the two parties signed a commercial contract to characterize the order as a commercial act.

After the order was signed, the two parties shook hands and were in a good mood.

Although Iraq also has a wolf-class frigate, if they dare to dispatch this escort, how could Yilang not understand that it would be a sea battle.

After the end, Sean curiously asked Saddam, why he thought of contacting the umbrella.

Saddam's answer made Sean look weird...
