Chapter 1461: Holding Back the Big Move

Chapter 1463 Holding back the ultimate move

Du Fei stayed in the capital for more than a month and took a plane to Bagoda again.

This time Sa Damu took the risk and came to the airport to greet him in person.

Although he was relieved beforehand, Sa Damu still couldn't restrain his excitement and gave Du Fei a big hug when they met: "Du, my brother, thank you so much!"

According to Huaguo's final decision, it was agreed to help Babylon develop a mushroom industry to a certain extent. Because it was more sensitive, it would not go through official channels, and Du Fei's fire equipment company was still responsible for the contact.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Du Fei and Sa Damu returned to the underground headquarters by car.

Secret talks are held here.

Du Fei said: "This time I will bring several experts to evaluate the level of your related facilities and then carry out subsequent development planning."

Sa Damu nodded repeatedly, secretly thinking that Huaguo people are still reliable in doing things, what kind of efficiency is this.

When I first started cooperating with Faguo, I was always fiddling and dragging my feet, and every little thing would take several days.

Du Fei's attitude contrasted with that of the French, which made Sa Damu full of confidence in future cooperation.

Du Fei continued: "But I'm going to say something ugly first, don't have too high expectations for your existing facilities."

Sa Damu frowned and opened his mouth to say something, but was intercepted by Du Fei: "I know you cooperated with the French and invested a lot of money, but with all due respect, the French have some technology and it is at an advanced level. , quite frankly, ahead of us in this regard.”

Sa Damu was silent, what Du Fei said was very objective. At this time, France's mushroom technology is still quite advanced.

Du Fei said: "But~ based on my understanding of the French, it is impossible for them to come up with real technology, even if you spend a lot of money..."

Sa Damu was speechless. Although he knew it in his heart, having Du Fei say it to his face still made him feel uncomfortable.

Du Fei continued: "So, according to my opinion, we will not accept the French mess, let's start from scratch."

Sa Damu was stunned and blinked his eyes quickly, somewhat unwillingly.

Those built facilities and enrichment plants are all in US dollars!

Why not use it if it is already available? Could it be that all the money spent before was wasted?

Thinking of this, Sa Damu wanted to advise Du Fei to use existing facilities.

Du Fei smiled, of course he would not agree.

Others may not know it, but he knows best in his heart that the current mushroom raw material concentration factory located near Bagoda will soon be destroyed by the Utai Air Force. Continuing to use this facility will definitely not be worth the gain.

It's just that Sa Damu has just experienced the hardships of living a poor life, and must give up his idea of ​​'saving'.

Du Fei said seriously: "Sa Damu, my brother, it's not that I don't understand your investment in construction, but... can you ensure absolute safety in that place now? There are too many French marks there. Once you terminate the cooperation... "

Although Du Fei didn't finish his words, Sa Damu's expression became solemn and he said solemnly: "You mean the French... they will cause destruction?"

Du Fei said: "They don't even need to take action themselves. As long as they reveal some information, someone will help them do it. For example... the Youtai people."

Sa Damu frowned. Du Fei's words were not alarmist. The French could indeed do this kind of thing, and the Youtai people did have the motive and the courage.

Du Fei said: "If this affects our entire plan, I think this is not the result you want to see."

Having said that, what else can Sa Damu say~

Finally, he changed his mind and decided to invest another billion dollars to rebuild a secret base in the mountainous area two hundred kilometers north of Bagoda.

This base will be fully managed by Huaguo's engineering and technical personnel, and all the machinery and equipment will be imported from Huaguo. The staff will be sent to Huaguo in advance to receive one-year training.

Sa Damu also proposed that he hope to send thirty mushroom experts to Huaguo to study.

This condition was also raised when we first cooperated with the French.

At that time, the French reluctantly agreed, but when they were sent, they were evasive in every possible way and did not teach the real thing at all. They also tried every means to persuade the elite scientists of Babylon to give up their nationality and immigrate to Europe.

At that time, there was smoke in the seven orifices where the big wood was spreading, but there was nothing that could be done.

Of course he knew the importance of talents, but the atmosphere in Babylon and even the entire Middle East made it impossible to cultivate a large number of scientists of a certain level.

Theocratic rule and the fact that they have not carried out modern social reforms have made the governance levels of many countries in the Middle East very primitive to this day. In Du Fei's view, it was just a melee among warlords back then. The standards of Zhang Zuolin, Wu Pengfei, and Sun Chuanfang were one step behind Principal Chang. cut.

It was not until a few decades later, at the time before Du Fei's time travel, that with the changes in the overall world situation, did the Middle Eastern countries see hope of completely changing this situation.

Du Fei readily agreed to Sa Damu's request, and even offered that Babylon could send more international students to Huaguo, not only in mushrooms, but also in various other industrial categories.

Sa Damu's eyes lit up, he didn't expect such a good thing!

From his perspective, he certainly understood the importance of industrialization, but Babylon did not have the conditions to complete industrialization in terms of its natural geographical endowments, population size, and humanistic environment.

Under such circumstances, if we want to complete industrialization and become a regional power, we must rely on external forces.

Babylon has always done this, starting from the Becker era, first approaching Sulian, then trying Europe, but the effect was not good.

In the end, they had a lot of dollars from selling oil, but they could not turn these dollars into factories. Instead, they had to buy foreign government bonds and become a booster for foreign economic development.

If they could cooperate with Huaguo, it would be an opportunity.

Although Huaguo's technology and industrial level in the world is not satisfactory, it at least has a complete industrial system, and has a solid foundation in important high-tech projects such as mushroom bombs, missiles, rockets, and satellites.

As for Du Fei, the idea of ​​letting Babylon send students abroad is also very simple, too profitable!

This is not taken for granted, but there is an example of Libya.

This year, there are more than 4,000 Libyan students studying in Huaguo. These people are children from the wealthy class. In addition to the $10,000 subsidy provided by the government every year, their families will also give them a part of the living expenses.

In order to make these students spend money, they provide a unified five-star accommodation standard, and they also eat in a special canteen... In short, there must be no situation where "people graduate but the money is not spent."

On average, the annual consumption level of each of these students is more than 15,000 US dollars.

Babylon is richer than Libya. Although Sadamu has spent all his foreign exchange reserves on the war, the people of Babylon, especially the wealthy class, are quite rich.

If Babylon can send 10,000 students, and each of them spends 20,000 US dollars a year, it will be 200 million US dollars.

Only then did Du Fei understand why so many fruit families regarded studying abroad as an important industry in the world before he crossed over.

Unfortunately, Huaguo is still in its infancy in this regard. It is definitely impossible to attract European and American students. Instead, we can work harder to attract more students from Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa.

This meeting with Du Fei made Sadamu very happy.

Although he had to rebuild the factory, anything that could be solved with money was a small matter for him.

In addition, Du Fei's initiative to propose a study abroad plan gave him hope of achieving industrialization through Huaguo.

With Babylon's size, it is not expected to have too many industrial categories, but at least it must have a basic military industry system. When fighting, it is not necessary to beg for help from grandparents to import a bullet or a shell.

However, Sadamu's good mood did not last long.

The day after his secret meeting with Du Fei, something went wrong in France.

"Sir, the French just sent a formal letter, hoping that our next batch of funds can be in place in advance..." A middle-aged man wearing glasses came to Sadamu's office and reminded him tremblingly.

Sadamu's face was ugly. The last recording made his impression of France fall to the bottom.

Now he knew that the other party did not want to help him make mushroom bombs at all, and all the nice things he said before were lies, how could he continue to give money!

But the problem is that the Mirage fighters he bought from France have not been delivered in full. Even if they are delivered, there are still subsequent logistics and maintenance issues. He must not rashly tear his face.

Sadamu pondered and said, "Tell them that there is no cash for the time being, and let them wait for a while."

The middle-aged man with glasses responded. He was not too surprised by this result. As Sadamu's confidant in charge of mushroom bombs, he knew the current situation very well. With the intervention of Huaguo, France was no longer the only one.

Sadamu said again, "In addition, let the Air Force speed up the progress and bring the plane back as soon as possible, and don't make trouble."

The middle-aged man responded, but he knew in his heart that it was useless to say it. It was basically impossible to advance the efficiency of the French side.

...

On the other side, the French quickly received the news.

A short white man with black-framed glasses said gloomily: "It seems that the news we got is correct. Sadamu got some promises in Huaguo. Otherwise, there has never been a delay in the funding of the mushroom plan before."

A middle-aged Frenchman next to him said contemptuously: "Huaguo people~ Sadamu actually believed those with whips..."

"Francois!" The short white man shouted, stopping his companion from saying the following unpleasant words: "Don't say these meaningless nonsense, they are no longer the Qing Dynasty. Now Huaguo defeated the United Guo Army in Goryeo, fought against the Sulian in Zhenbao Island, and easily defeated the Yindu Central Army of Nihelu! Last year, their GDP has surpassed ours. What qualifications do you think we have to laugh at them?"

The Frenchman named Francois was speechless.

The little man took a breath and said, "Okay, I don't want to hear any meaningless remarks like this in the future."

"Yes~" Francois agreed, and then asked, "What about Sadamu..."

The little man pushed his glasses and said in silence for a few seconds, "It seems that it's time to end. Report to the Intelligence Coordination Committee~ It will be difficult for us to get money from Babylon in the future."

Sadamu didn't know that after he refused the French's request for money, the intelligence about Babylon's mushroom facilities quickly reached America's ClA through the French Clearance Coordination Committee, and then reached Youtai's MSD through ClA...

At the same time, America's newly equipped f-16 fighter jets also arrived in Youtai as soon as possible.

One by one, the necessary factors were quickly gathered, the French were ready to withdraw, and America was ready to take action.

It's just that Sadamu needs to contain Persia at the moment, and America can't do it herself, someone must take the blame.

The value of Youtai's existence is reflected.

...

Half a month later, Du Fei has been busy helping Babylon prepare for the new mushroom raw material enrichment factory.

When he came back from Babylon last time, Sadamu's first batch of funds was soon in place, and the relevant domestic departments immediately started to operate.

Regarding the underground base, the architectural drawings and machinery and equipment of the enrichment factory are all ready.

At the beginning of cooperation, it is certain to show high efficiency different from the French.

And there is no need to drag on such things. Such a large project cannot be completed overnight.

In addition, feedback from Persia has also come.

Last time, Du Fei passed the news through Lou Hongyi and told Persia that Sadamu was preparing for the next wave of offensives and stockpiled more than 3,000 tanks.

The purpose is nothing else, just to stimulate Persia's potential.

Although most of the profits from selling oil are currently eaten up by Du Fei and America, Persia is such a big fruit family, and it was so rich before. There are many wealth among the people, such as gold and silver jewelry, and they can always raise them with effort.

After learning the news, Persia went to verify it through various channels with a clear goal.

It was confirmed that Babylon was preparing for a large-scale attack.

Especially the tank force, which was absolutely a nightmare for Persia.

Before the war, Persia's armored forces suffered great damage, and there were no more than 1,000 tanks that could be used. After several major wars, even if they were purchased from abroad, there were less than 600 tanks that were still capable of combat.

It should be said that Sadamu was still visionary to some extent.

Seeing that the Persian tank forces suffered serious losses, he launched a steel torrent before the other side recovered and completely ended the war.

Unfortunately, his eyes were only on the battlefield, but he did not realize that at this point in time, the whole world would not allow this war to be decided.

Soon, Persia launched a gold donation campaign, raising 60 tons of gold, plus 1.4 billion US dollars, a total of nearly 2.5 billion US dollars, to purchase various anti-tank weapons, mines, artillery, and rocket launchers.

The Persians knew that with their financial resources, they would definitely not be able to fight tanks with tanks, and could only use cheaper weapons to offset the enemy's armored advantage.

In addition to Huaguo, Persia also tried every means to stockpile more anti-tank weapons through various channels.

By the end of the year, the whole world could see that Babylon and Persia were preparing for a big move.

Throughout the second half of 1978, there were no major battles on the battlefield between Babylon and Persia, and the situation remained stalemate.

In the arms market, both sides made big moves.

Seeing that Huaguo made all the money, many people were really jealous.
