Chapter 72 The Two Countries Fight, Jiang Chen Benefits (A)

It mentioned above the big fish that Jiang Chen wanted to catch, today I will reveal the mystery for everyone.In fact, they are two countries, Babylon and Persia. These two countries are now fighting each other because of issues such as borders, borders, *, *, religion, *, and ethnicity. According to the memories of Jiang Chen's later generations, the two countries fought For eight years, it was one of the longest wars of the 20th century.

It should be said that it is a war of attrition worthy of the name, a war in which the gains outweigh the losses for both sides and there is no winner.Before the war, Babylon had a foreign exchange surplus of nearly 400 billion U.S. dollars. At the end of the war, its foreign debts were 800 billion U.S. dollars, of which more than 400 billion were owed to Western countries and the Soviet Union for arms, and more than 300 billion were owed to other Arab countries. loan.During the war, Babylon suffered 18 deaths, 25 injuries, and direct losses (including military expenditures, war damage, and economic losses) of $3500 billion.Persia also owed 450 billion U.S. dollars in foreign debt, 70 people died, more than 110 million were injured, and a direct loss of 3000 billion U.S. dollars.The war delayed the economic development plans of the two countries by at least 20 to 30 years.

The war caused heavy losses to both countries, stagnated economic development, plummeted oil exports, and killed and injured millions.As a result, Babylon also bears a large amount of debt, and the debt owed to Kurt alone amounts to 140 billion US dollars.This is also one of the reasons why Saddam Hussein invaded Kurt later.

At the end of the war, the dividing line between the two countries was restored to the situation before the war.This war is one of the wars with the largest casualties after World War II, second only to the Southern Barbarian War and the Northeast Peninsula War.

A large-scale and protracted war is a huge disaster for the two countries and the peace-loving people around the world, but it is indeed a rare and rich feast for arms dealers like Jiang Chen and the others.Otherwise, this unremarkable small country would suddenly hold a defense exhibition, and with so many arms dealers gathered, basically all the arms companies that Jiang Chen's future generations could recognize were all there.

To be honest, this war is a rare opportunity for the military industry of our country as a whole, and it is simply a "timely rain". In the early 80s, the country entered a historical period of reform and opening up and economic construction as the center, so it had to greatly reduce its armaments, and put forward the policy of "military must be patient".In this way, we lost domestic arms orders, and our military enterprises were almost on the verge of collapse. At this time, the arms orders sent because of the Liangyi War were undoubtedly a timely help for our military factories that were in trouble at that time.

After the war began, although the international community began to impose an arms embargo on both sides, there were loopholes in the regulations, so the two countries tried to make up for wartime losses by importing aircraft from countries with close ties, so the arms trade continued , just a few more twists and turns.

For Jiang Chen, this is definitely an opportunity for him to realize his dream. As long as Jiang Chen can firmly grasp it, it will be a great boost to the accumulation of capital in the early stage.Jiang Chen also planned this a long time ago. Since he was about to step into the gate of B17 factory, he has been thinking about the way out of this factory that is about to go bankrupt.It is definitely not going to work domestically, so Jiang Chen turned his attention to foreign countries.

During this period, there were three main foreign wars, the Falklands War, the Ah Fu Khan War, and the Liangyi War. The previous Falklands War obviously had nothing to do with Jiang Chen, and Jiang Chen couldn’t get involved, right? A war between an adult and a child, although the child knocked out a few teeth of the adult while the adult was not paying attention, but the adult is an adult, once he reacts, the child has no power to fight back.

So Jiang Chen focused his attention on the following two wars. The Afghan Vice-Khan War is now a war for the country's resistance organization to resist the Soviet Union's aggression. In this war, the West gave the resistance organization a lot of help. Of course, our country also supported a lot , because we are at war with the Nanman, and the reason why the Nanman is so arrogant is the support of Su * behind it.Jiang Chen wanted to take this opportunity to sell something. You must know that the 120mm bazooka and high-precision sniper rifle specially produced by Jiang Chen were prepared for this mountain guerrilla warfare, and what Su* is famous for is its powerful armor.And the resistance organization can't have the same level of armor to resist. The power of the traditional 40 fire is too small to damage targets with thicker armor, and the advanced Western anti-tank missiles can't be used because the operation is too complicated. , and most of the members of these resistance organizations are uneducated and unable to use this kind of weapon, so Jiang Chen's bazooka is also a good choice.

The last is the Liangyi War. This war has been fought for two years. Now it is Persia that has launched the "Operation Victory" offensive. The battle is in full swing, so any weapon that can change the situation of the battle is fought for by both sides.Babylon needs to reorganize elite troops to fight against Persia's large-scale human sea tactics, and it must need elite weapons. Individual weapons are also an important component, and the squad rifle system designed and manufactured by Jiang Chen is a good choice.There is also a high-precision sniper rifle that is also a weapon for the Persian army with relatively weak protection capabilities.

Now, for the Persian army, facing the Babylonian army with advanced armor is also a headache, because they are still relatively weak in terms of armor, but now Jiang Chen's bazooka perfectly solves this problem, only needing a very cheap One rocket can destroy tanks and armored vehicles that are tens or hundreds of times taller than it, which is a very profitable deal.And I heard that the Babylonians have already contacted Jiang Chen and the others, so the Persians can't relax. Whatever they buy, we have to buy something to fight against them.What's more, Jiang Chen's weapons are really excellent. Although they are a bit more expensive than cheap Soviet-style firearms, their performance has been improved several times, and they are much cheaper than western weapons of the same level.More importantly, the Persians were sanctioned by the West because of the outbreak of civil war, and they couldn't buy Western weapons at all. Now they have a high-performance weapon that can be bought in their dreams, how can they let it go.

So both sides found Jiang Chen and the others, and after discussion with the team leaders, they decided to receive the representatives of Babylon first, and then contact the representatives of Persia to separate the two representatives to avoid embarrassment.

"Hello, Mr. Imaddin." Jiang Chen bowed to salute.Of course, all of these were translated by Liu Yun, and the following dialogue is also the same, so I will not note them one by one.

A bearded middle-aged man with a khaki red plaid turban also bent down to salute, saying, "Honorable Jiang, nice to meet you."

"Please sit down!" Jiang Chen directed with a smile.

"Thank you." Imaddin and his entourage sat down one after another.

"Mr. Jiang, our two countries are traditionally friendly countries. Please convey our people's respect to your people." Imaddin said with a smile.

"Thank you, and please also convey our people's respect for the people of your country." Jiang Chen replied with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Jiang, I believe you have also heard about what happened to our country. Please help us in our traditional friendship." Facing the risk of being taken away by them, there has been news from the country that they are allowed to complete the equipment purchase as soon as possible and equip the troops as soon as possible.

"Hehe, Mr. Imaddin, I personally sympathize with the suffering of the people of your country, so I will do my best to help you. I don't know how you need our help." Jiang Chen said calmly. What help here can be, nothing more than ammunition, these are just polite.

Both parties have finished their courtesies, so let’s get down to business. How will this cooperation proceed? Please see the next chapter, which will be updated in 10 minutes.
