Chapter 1488 Conditions of DLA
Burns helped to introduce, "Damienne has made countless contributions in the Middle East battlefield, and she can be today without relying on anyone."
Yang Cheng was in awe, "It's my honor to know you."
Damian maintained the vigorous and resolute style of the military, "Let's talk about the business, Ms. Burns gave me a brief explanation of your thoughts, and I can give you a clear answer. It is feasible, but you will face many difficulties. I wonder if you have Mentally prepare."
Even in the face of this kind of gray deal, this female major general officer showed frankness. Yang Cheng still admires it very much. He likes to cooperate with this kind of straightforward people.
"Please say"
Damian made a brief exchange of eyes with Burns, and then said, "Qatar is negotiating a large arms order with us, and it is expected to purchase 36 F15 fighter jets, but they don't want to go through formal channels."
Yang Cheng was a little slow to react, and then realized that this was a condition offered by Damien. She didn't know to what extent or which link she wanted to participate in.
F15 is a classic third-generation aircraft designed in the 1970s. Although it is not known which aircraft cemetery is going to be dug out from which aircraft cemetery and sold to Qatar, the F15 will be upgraded, but the airframe design 40 years ago can be used on the battlefield. What role does it play? Anyway, judging from Yang Cheng's shallow military knowledge, it is difficult to make a big difference.
But this has nothing to do with him. The Middle East is all taken advantage of, and Qatar is by no means the only one.
So he took the initiative to ask, "What do I need to do?"
Damien questioned Burns again with his eyes, and waited for Burns to nod slightly before speaking. . .
Yang Cheng couldn't figure out what kind of riddle the two were playing, so he could only suppress his doubts and listen to the other party say, "The contract value of these 36 F15s will reach 12 billion U.S. dollars."
"How much?" Yang Cheng couldn't hold back the surprise in his heart, and shouted directly.
Burns held back her laughter, apparently she had expected Yang Cheng's reaction
Damien was very calm, and repeated lightly, "12 billion US dollars"
Yang Cheng opened his mouth in disbelief, did the Qataris have oil in their heads, or did the exchange rate of the dollar equal the yen?
The total price of 12 billion U.S. dollars means that the unit price is more than 300 million, which is two or three times that of the latest fourth-generation fighter jet F35A. What kind of magic is it that a plane that is about to expire can be sold at a super-rich price? operation
Well, Yang Cheng actually knows the answer. Qatar is not qualified to bargain. The United States is clearly shearing sheep, and the food is extremely ugly.
But so what? Every time I hear it, I still can’t help but be speechless.
In fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the Middle East. Since the Middle East countries gradually became independent more than 80 years ago, the United States has been carrying out this kind of sao operation: eating large sums of petrodollars, and transporting efficient killing weapons to every piece of land superior.
Is this the end? No, this is just the beginning. Weapons must be put to use when they are sent over, otherwise they are no different from scrap iron.
The so-called golden ten thousand taels of gunfire, Americans know that there are only contradictions,
There is only profit to be made, no contradictions create contradictions, no wars create wars
We must know that in the initial period, when massive oil resources were not discovered in this area, the Middle East did not have much turmoil and war compared to today, and many countries did not even have a modernized military in the true sense.
However, since the end of the 1940s, when major powers such as the United States and Britain took the lead in the controversial decision on the land issue for the establishment of Israel, the ethnic, religious and national conflicts in this region are like explosives that have been ignited. Suddenly it exploded.
In the first large-scale war in the Middle East, neither Arab nor Israeli actually had decent troops.
However, before the war, the U.S. government exported a large number of weapons and equipment to the warring Arab countries and Israel, which made the war possible.
This is equivalent to handing two boxers standing in the ring each with a knife, and let you go directly to fight for your life, while the Americans are spectators in the audience, gambling money for entertainment, and even advertised, showing the boxers used by the boxers. Sell your knives to more people and earn a lot of money.
The Americans have also fully tasted the sweetness and fun. Although the first Middle East war ended with the successful establishment of Israel, the seeds of hatred have been deeply planted. Since then, the entire Middle East has entered a cyclical arms race among.
At this time, a large number of oil resources were discovered, and the countries above the oil became rich overnight.
Originally, economic development could provide a good way out for easing and resolving conflicts, but with the intentional or unintentional support of the United States, Israel's military power is dominant in the Middle East, and the military balance has disappeared.
The balance was broken, and it is natural to use force to regain the balance. However, with the help of the Americans, a large number of modern weapons were delivered to the land of the Middle East, so that in the next few consecutive wars, Israel almost It's a crushing gesture, beating other Arab countries so that their parents can't recognize them.
As a result, these unconvinced Arab countries began to follow suit, and chose the path of relying on the United States to follow American rules to obtain security, and purchased American weapons at high prices as "protection fees" in exchange for American military asylum.
As for those countries that do not follow the "rules" such as Iraq, Libya, and Syria, the United States does not mind doing it by itself, and let them call Dad
All in all, Yang Cheng now clearly felt the malice of the United States, but in the face of huge profits, his modest integrity was thrown out of the blue.
She quickly regained her composure, "Just tell me, Ms. Damian, what do you need me to do? Ms. Burns understands me, otherwise she wouldn't bring you to see me."
Damien didn't look at Burns this time, and said with a smile, "We will prepare the plane for delivery, but you need to come forward to talk to the Qatari private buyer and be responsible for the specific transaction process. Everything in the warehouse you fancy is yours now."
Yang Cheng knew it well, closed his eyes and went through the entire conversation, as well as the possible risks encountered in the transaction. After confirming that there would be no major problems, he simply stretched out his hand, "Then wish our first The cooperation can proceed smoothly.”
Damien shook hands with Yang Cheng heavily, hesitated and reminded, "Although there are no weapons involving confidentiality procedures in the warehouse you fancy, you must know that we don't want these weapons to be lost to hostile forces. .”
Yang Cheng understands that these weapons must be sold to pro-American militants, whether it is the country or stragglers
Yang Cheng pondered deliberately, "No problem, but I can only guarantee the first-hand transaction. If the buyer changes hands again, I can't supervise it."
