The Rise of Great Powers: Starting From Military Industry

Chapter 42 No. 25 Xiushui North Street

On January 1 this year, China and the United States established diplomatic relations!

This is definitely a historic moment between China and the United States, and it is a major event that affects the world.

With this improvement in relations, Liu Tao's weapons and equipment export plan can be realized without interference and obstruction from all parties.

Otherwise, if the ship carrying weapons and equipment is intercepted and inspected, nothing can be done!

In addition, the current world situation is not peaceful, and various conflicts are erupting at any time.

As long as the weapons and equipment have sufficient cost-effectiveness, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell them.

European and American weapons and Soviet weapons are indeed advanced and well-known, but the problem is that their weapons are not cheap, and they often come with a lot of political conditions.

Liu Tao is different. Even if the price of the same type and the same performance of weapons is only half of theirs, he can still make money, and this is pure trade without any conditions.

This is his advantage, super high cost-effectiveness, without any conditions!

All he needs is money!

Precious and rare metals such as gold, or foreign exchange!

Leaving the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, Liu Tao was full of thoughts.

"Now there is only one thing left, get the order!" Liu Tao's eyes were full of determination, "As long as you get the order, you can make money!"

The most difficult thing in the world is to create something from nothing. As long as you take the first step and get the first order, the second and third orders will not be far away.

"Next, let's start the action. The first target is the rich dog family-Iraq!" Liu Tao's goal is very clear.

The first target is naturally the rich dog family 'Iraq' at this time!

At this time, Iraq is a veritable dog family because of its abundant oil and exports oil every year.

It can only be said that oil is really a good thing.

These oil tycoons don't need to struggle, they can just lie down and count money.

No. 25, Xiushui North Street, this is the Iraqi Embassy in China.

Liu Tao looked at the guard at the gate and said, "Hello, I am Liu Tao, the director of Panshan Machinery Factory. I am here to visit my friend, Al."

The guard looked at Liu Tao in surprise.

Al is the person in charge here.

Although the guard didn't understand what was going on, he still went in to report.

In the office, Al was drinking coffee leisurely. He had been in China for three years. Because there was not much to do, his work was quite leisurely.

"Sir, someone who claims to be your friend came to visit you." The staff came in to report to Al.

"Panshan Machinery Factory? My friend?"

Al frowned. Where did he have any friends in China? Even if he had friends, they were in China's foreign affairs department, not in any factory.

After thinking for a few seconds, with interest in his eyes, he nodded and said to the staff: "Please ask him to come over!"

Not long after, Al met the Chinese who claimed to be his friend.

"Young man, I don't remember that we knew each other." Al looked at Liu Tao with interest.

Liu Tao was very young. Seeing Liu Tao, Al even thought in his heart that this was a prank.

Liu Tao said in English: "Hello, Mr. Al, I hope you don't mind my sudden visit! This time I came to visit you to do business with your country."

As he said, Liu Tao stretched out his hand.

"Hello!" Al shook Liu Tao's hand and asked with interest, "Business? What kind of business?"

"Weapons business!" Liu Tao said, "Let me introduce myself first. I am the director of Panshan Machinery Factory. Panshan Machinery Factory is a large military factory that can produce 120,000 pistols, 500,000 automatic rifles, and tens of thousands of machine guns annually. We can produce hundreds of millions of bullets of various types annually."

Liu Tao slightly exaggerated the production capacity of Panshan Machinery Factory.

Al's heart was shocked.

This production scale is far less than the total military production capacity of all Iraq.

Thanks to the first global oil crisis that broke out a few years ago, the international oil price soared, and a group of oil-producing countries along the Persian Gulf coast quickly became rich. Iraq also made a lot of money. In just a few years, the gross national product has doubled several times, and it has become a wealthy country in the world.

But Iraq is not an industrial country. There is no industry at all, let alone military industry.

Iraq's weapons rely on buying, buying, and buying!

So much so that Saddam proudly advertised that their oil wealth could support the army of the world's third most powerful military country.

In fact, from the paper data, it is true. Saddam used the income from oil to build a million-strong army, with nearly 6,000 tanks, 7,500 armored vehicles, more than 3,700 artillery pieces and more than 700 fighter jets. This strength can rank fourth in the world.

After the "Red Dragon Roar", the monkey was beaten, and Iraq became the world's third military power.

Moreover, Iraq's foreign exchange reserves were nearly 40 billion US dollars at this time, and the per capita income had reached 3,900 US dollars, far exceeding Saudi Arabia, so that Iraq established a complete social welfare and achieved 4 free, free medical care, free pension, free education and free housing.

In comparison, China is as poor as a ghost.

But in terms of military industry, Iraq is far worse than China.

"Your Chinese weapons are very backward. If we want to buy them, we have to go to the Soviet Union or Europe and the United States. Soviet-made weapons and American-made weapons are much more advanced than yours." Al shook his head slightly.

Now Iraq can buy whatever weapons and equipment it wants with money all over the world.

Except for some particularly advanced or powerful weapons, what weapons can't be bought! ?

The impression that China gave Al was poverty and backwardness.

Liu Tao smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Al, the performance of the weapons produced by our factory has reached the world's advanced level, which has been tested on the battlefield."

"And we are simply doing business, without any conditions attached." Liu Tao said confidently, "If you don't believe it, Mr. Al, we can experience the performance of the weapons on the spot."

Iraq is now a rich country, so Liu Tao will naturally not recommend backward weapons, but directly take out the weapons he developed.

He believes that as long as Al tries it, he will definitely like it.

"My weapons are already in Beijing, you can try them at any time, Mr. Al, anyway, you have time, don't you, try it, it doesn't cost any money, and you won't be deceived." Liu Tao turned into an excellent salesman at this moment.

Al showed an interested look at this time.

Although China's "Red Dragon Roar" was very short, it only took one month, but it attracted attention from all sides.

After all, the Americans were just embarrassed. The data showed that the United States was the third most powerful military country in the world, but it was beaten by the poor and backward rabbit.

Military experts from various countries are conducting various analyses. No matter how they analyze, they find that the monkeys will win no matter what, but the monkeys were beaten.

Al thinks that if there are really weapons that perform well on the battlefield, it is worth taking a look, and maybe it can really be bought.

Anyway, it doesn't matter who you buy, and if there are really no conditions attached, it would be the best.
