v2 Chapter 1105： Soviet Union

The latest website: To get this effect, when making the list, Bao Zixuan had already guessed that the Americans would not agree to export F-15 or F-18 fighter jets to Kuwait. Even if the US agrees, Israel will come out against it. Those in power did not dare to ignore the power of the Jewish consortium. If Reagan wanted to be re-elected, compromises had to be made on many things.

As for the Kuwaitis, the Israeli Air Force was deliberately compared. The quality of the pilots is comparable, how is it possible. The overall combat literacy of the Israeli Air Force is definitely no worse than that of the United States and the Soviet Union, and it is even stronger in terms of personal ability.

The comparison of the strength of the air forces of various countries is often not a simple linear relationship of who develops faster, but a phenomenon of trade-offs. Britain, France, Germany, the big three in Europe, no matter how deep your impression of their military power was in the past, today they have been abandoned too much because they are too "no pressure". At present, there are only about 200 advanced fighter jets in the respective air forces of the three countries. This number is even less than that of Japan and only half of that of Israel.

Of course, it is not only the equipment factor that determines the combat capability of the Air Force, but also what is often referred to as the "human factor." However, on this issue, the three European countries may be more difficult to dominate. Due to the needs of combat readiness, Israel ranks first in the world in terms of annual flight time; about 250 hours a year, we must know that the US military has dropped to more than 100. The fighter aircraft attendance rate is also in the forefront of the world; the average is around 90%, which is basically the first in the world, while the three European countries are more deserted than before, not only the pilots’ annual flight time is shortened, but the fighter aircraft attendance rate is even lower to 50-70 %, and even Germany can be as low as about 40%.

The three largest countries in Europe are not rivals of the Israeli Air Force. How could Kuwait compete with Israeli pilots in terms of technical strength. Therefore, catching up technically, or surpassing it is the only option. And in most cases, the Middle East countries are fighting against Israel together, and Kuwait just needs to be itself.

King Jaber said with a serious expression: "It seems that McDonnell Douglas really didn't take us seriously, and actually used an outdated plane to fool the Kuwaiti people."

"Notify our negotiators in the United States not to waste time with McDonnell Douglas. I don't want to see McDonnell Douglas's armed equipment appear in the Kuwaiti Air Force in the future. Mr. Bao really wants to ask you for help to see if we can do the same. Negotiate with the Soviets and buy their planes and tanks."

Waiting for this is the sentence. Although there is no precedent for selling the latest fighter jets to Kuwait, it is not unacceptable for the Soviet Union. You must know that Kuwait is really giving money, and the profit will definitely not disappoint the polar bear.

Bao Zixuan knew that the country might not be able to make much money, but it could also solve some problems. And there is only one chance. When Gorbachev comes to power next year, many things will be difficult to handle. This guy will be concerned about the attitude of the Americans, at least the kind that is unwilling to offend.

Little Ustinov had been informed long ago, and he had explained the situation to his uncle. With the support of the Minister of Defense and the perennial illness of the top leader, Chernenko, it was quickly approved within the top ranks of the Soviet military. The main reason is that the Soviet military is very poor. If they don't think of a solution, they may even have a problem with the basic salary of the officers.

Back in time two days ago, Bao Zixuan called Little Ustinov.

Bao Zixuan said very seriously: "I have persuaded the Kuwaiti royal family to buy American F-15 or F18 fighter jets. In fact, I don't really want to buy it, just to take care of the Americans' face. Even if McDonnell Douglas wants to export, it will not be approved. "

Then Kuwait can only choose the Soviet Union's Su-27 aircraft. Although it is difficult to operate, the profit will definitely not be low. At the same time, Kuwait also wants to buy 8 Il-76 transport aircraft and 200 -72 main station tanks. This is a business with a total value of more than 1.5 billion US dollars. If you add other auxiliary equipment, missiles, personnel training, etc., it will definitely exceed 2 billion US dollars.

Profits will exceed $1 billion, and no one is unimpressed.

Although Marshal Ustinov is a professional giant, he knows it. Nothing can be done without funds, although there is no precedent for selling the most advanced Soviet fighter jets to Middle Eastern countries. But the situation has changed by this time, at least not watching Americans make money.

Kuwaitis are in a hurry and are drawn directly from active duty troops. He also knows his physical condition, and if it drags on for too long, the family may not get anything.

Little Ustinov's life has changed dramatically since he got online with Bao Zixuan. Not only has his military rank been promoted, but his wealth has grown rapidly. At least in the Soviet Union, there is really no such high-ranking military leader as rich as him.

Now I hear that Kuwait needs to buy about $2 billion in arms from the Soviet Union, so what are you waiting for, fly directly from the Soviet Union to Kuwait City.

The Kuwaiti royal family was very satisfied with the efficiency of the Soviets. Although their country is small, they also want to be respected. In particular, the Kuwaiti royal family hopes to be recognized by major powers.

Bao Zixuan didn't want to participate, but both sides hoped that he could be present. Although the matchmaking thing is good, it can also get some benefits. But it is easy to offend people, at least little MacDonald will not feel comfortable.

But since it has come to this point, many things are involuntary. If you want the Soviet Union to disintegrate later, you must do everything possible to transfuse blood to the other party. Although it will not enter the treasury a lot, it can at least solve some problems. At the same time, it can cause trouble for the United States. Little MacDonald is not a person who likes to suffer.

After Bao Zixuan introduced Little Ustinov to the members of the Kuwaiti royal family, everyone exchanged a few words.

King Jaber didn't like to waste time, after all, he had been delayed in the United States for a few days, so he went straight to the topic: "General Ustinov, if Kuwait wants to get the weapons on the list as quickly as possible, how long will it take? Time. You don’t have to worry about money, I just want to get weapons as quickly as possible. Mingren will not speak secretly, the faster the speed, the higher the public cost.”

This is the speech after discussing with Bao Zixuan before, and many things are tacit.

Unexpectedly, the king of Kuwait was quite direct, and Little Ustinov didn’t like nonsense either. Uncle is not in good health, and he is also worried about Ye Changmeng. And the top leader can leave at any time, and when a younger leader comes to power, the situation will change.

Little Ustinov said very seriously: "I checked the inventory before coming here. Currently, there are 200 T-72 tanks in the warehouse in Turkmenistan; there are exactly 8 Il-76 transport aircraft in the Komsomolsk Aircraft Factory. String."

"As for the Su-27 fighter jets, the Soviet army has just been equipped for a short time; therefore, only 24 fighter jets can be selected from the Far East and European Military Regions and provided to your country as a priority."

"The pilots will accompany the aircraft as training instructors. However, all the expenses for the Soviet soldiers during the training period in your country will be borne by Kuwait."

"So as long as it is confirmed, the weapons will be able to arrive in Kuwait within three days."

Nationalization is not without any benefits, at least weapons and equipment can be drawn from front-line troops for sale. The United States absolutely cannot do this. After all, the aircraft factory and the military are only cooperative, and there is no unified department leadership. The Soviet Union is all under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defense, so as long as the Ministry of Defense is dealt with, everything else is easy to handle. However, such a large arms transaction requires a lot of links, so the public relations expenses will definitely not be small.

The weapons used by the Soviet troops were sold directly to Kuwait, and that was the highest configuration. It is estimated that the Soviets have modified the IFF system at most, and the fighter has been in service for less than a year, which is absolutely powerful.

A prince of Kuwait said: "From Turkmenistan, we need to go through Iran so we are worried that the tanks may not be able to arrive smoothly."

Little Ustinov said very aggressively: "There is no country in the world that dares to seize Soviet weapons and equipment. Unless he doesn't want to, we can guarantee this."

This is the domineering power of a big country. It is estimated that Kuwait has no chance to say such tough words.

The royal housekeeper said: "But international remittances are also a hassle, I don't know how to pay; and it may not be able to arrive within three days."

Transactions certainly required dollars, but Kuwait traded very little with the Soviet Union. It's hard to keep such a large deal unnoticed; if Americans freeze funds, it's going to be difficult.

Bao Zixuan thought for a moment and said, "Don't be so troublesome, Heiyun Group still has some funds in the Soviet Union; it is enough to pay for this transaction. You can pay in advance, and it will not be too late to pay to Heiyun Group when the goods arrive."

That's enough friends, the last hurdle to the deal has been cleared.
