American TV series

In a living room in the Universal Building, Fat Harvey met Universal President Sidney Sheinberg.

Sidney Sheinberg is 50 years old. He wears black glasses, has clean shaven beard, and has a cute smile.

Sidney Sheinberg is one of Universal's most successful presidents. He originally worked for MCA, the American Music Company, and became president of Universal after MCA annexed Universal.

Before he came to power, Universal could only rest on its laurels. After he came to power, he successively produced films such as "Jaws", "ET" and "Moonlight", bringing Universal back to the forefront of Hollywood.

Of course, this is not the reason why he is called the most successful president. The real reason is that he sold Universal and MCA to the Japanese for 6.6 billion, which severely cheated the Japanese.

"Mr. Sidney, I'm here on behalf of Sean Pictures. As you know, I distributed the movie "Basic Instinct" on my behalf." This meeting was more formal, and Harvey directly stated his purpose.

"I know, but what next?" Sidney Sheinberg's face became serious when he talked about business.

"Maybe we did hit the same schedule, but, I think..."

"What?" Sidney said with a cold face.

"Isn't this a bit too much? We can compete normally, what do you think, Mr. Sidney?"

"Excessive!" Sidney Sheinberg's face turned a little ugly, "I think it's you who are going too far!"

"Universal's release plan was set long ago. It was you. Remember, it was you who chose this date and hit it!"

"Major companies, with so many movies released, why do they deliberately hit Universal?"

"In other words, you think Universal is no longer good, so you can bully it as you like!"

Speaking of this, Sidney Sheinberg was very angry. When he received the news that "Basic Instinct" had a conflicting schedule with "French Condor", he just felt annoyed. Later, he actually heard that Sean Pictures'

When it was announced that the super-big production "Die Hard" had collided with "The Last Man" again, everyone became furious.

One can be said to be a coincidence, but two in a row?

Is this because they are displeased with the world and come to attack the world?!

Who gave them the courage!

I feel that the oldest film company in Hollywood is easy to bully.

Still think MCA is easy to bully?

Or maybe you think he, Sidney Sheinberg, is easy to bully!

Anyone who has occupied a pit and is about to poop will become furious if someone suddenly comes up next to him and tries to occupy half of the pit.

A stick of cake will stick to your face!

Hearing what Sidney Sheinberg said, Harvey quickly shook his head and said that he didn't mean it. It was all a misunderstanding.

"Misunderstanding? Are you trying to say that you didn't know that the two movies in the same period were from Universal?" Sidney Sheinberg sneered. You can't believe it. He didn't believe it.

"Uh..." Harvey looked embarrassed. Usually he always felt that he was very eloquent, but at this moment, he really didn't know how to say it.

Can he say that Boss Xiao specially selected Universal after looking through all the films produced and released by major companies this year?

What the hell...?

Harvey was a little dazed, as if Sean really bumped into him on purpose!

He didn't dare to say this, because if he did, Sidney wouldn't strangle him to death on the spot.

I could only keep saying that it was a misunderstanding and that there was absolutely no need to do this. This was a harm to Universal. I said that I would look at whether something went wrong when I got back, and then talk to Sidney again.

Seeing that Fatty Ha had given in, Sidney's attitude improved.

After leaving Universal, Harvey looked distressed. He had to meet and explain this matter clearly to Sean.

…

"Did I bully him on purpose?" Sean looked at Harvey who was chasing him in confusion, "Did I?"

"Mr. Sean, do you still remember what you said when we selected the schedule?" Harvey asked helplessly.

Sean blinked, took a sip of the milk from Diane, and tilted his head to think back.

"What the hell are these things that Universal is shooting? It's really getting worse year after year. If it weren't for Spielberg supporting them, I think Universal would be going bankrupt."

"Sidney Sheinberg? Isn't it ridiculous for a musician to not be honest about his own music and movies?"

"The seven major companies, Universal and damn Disney, are competing against each other, and each one is worse than the other."

"Don't mess with anyone else, just Universal. Just keep an eye on them and arrange the release!"

Well, when Sean recalled what he said that day, he couldn't help but scratch his head.

It seems that I really thought Universal was easy to bully, so I took the initiative to bump into him.

"But damn, they are really rubbish!" Sean spread his hands with a weird, helpless and funny expression.

"They are such rubbish. If I didn't bully them, who would I bully?"

"We can only cut meat from Universal."

"Just tell me, what has Global been like in the past ten years?"

In the past ten years, just last year in 1985, Universal has done well. One "Back to the Future" won the box office championship, and one "Out of Africa" ​​ranked sixth on the box office list. But last year, Sean's first electric movie "

"Bank Robbery" took 4th place.

Going forward, in the three years of 1984, 1983, and 1982, there was only one Spielberg's "ET", and then there was no more. Losing money!

It looked good in 1981, ranking second at the box office, but that was a release, and the movie was produced by Jane Fonda and her daughter company.

Then, there was no more. In 1975, Spielberg made "Jaws" for Universal, and in 1978, "Jaws 2" was released. In the remaining years, Universal did almost nothing.

"Then what should we do now? President Sidney is very angry. Indeed, if Universal doesn't show anything when we bump into each other this time..." Harvey shook his head. He was not optimistic about Universal's movie today. At least he watched "French Open"

"Condor".

Well, it's rubbish as expected.

Losing money this year, and being pooped and pissed on by Sean Films without any reaction, Sidney should just wait to resign.

"Fuck you." Sean scratched his head irritably. He really didn't want to change gears.

Movies are not only about shooting and distribution, but also about human relationships.

He was still thinking about matters in Iraq, and the issue of distribution came up again.

"Damn fat man, you can't handle this fucking thing, so what's the use of asking you to publish it?" Sean was in a irritated mood, pointing at Harvey and scolding, "I might as well give Universal a fucking

To save face, let them distribute it for me!"

Harvey lowered his head, not daring to say anything at all. You set the date, and now you are scolding me...

"Jointly distribute it with Universal, and share half of the distribution fee with him!" Sean said with an unhappy look on his face.

"Here, if you divide more than half of it, it's only 10% of the distribution fee. Universal won't want that little money, so it's like kneeling down to beg for food." Harvey said with a wry smile.

He was willing to lose some money, but Universal wouldn't be so embarrassed.

This kind of precedent cannot be set.

Damn it, Sean cursed, "You'd better give me that idea, otherwise, stop closing that crappy company of yours and just merge it."

The corner of Harvey's mouth twitched, and he said after a while: "Either you look at this, first privately promote "Die Hard" to continue to collide with Universal, and then in a few days I will publicly say that those are just rumors, and "Die Hard" will avoid it.

Universal, this is a soft serve for Universal."

Sean tilted his head and stared at Harvey, who was staring at him with cold sweat breaking out, "His Sidney's face is just face, and my face is no longer face."

"That's not what I meant." Harvey waved his hands quickly.

"I don't care what you mean, "Basic Instinct" is already on the line, and the schedule cannot be changed. "Die Hard" will at most require increased post-production time and delayed release." Sean waved his hand domineeringly, "How much do you want from me?

You can’t sell it out in my name even if you pay tens of millions of issuance fees!”

"Find the rest by yourself. Whether you bribe Sidney or exchange other benefits, I don't care."

"That's it, you go out."

Harvey left with a depressed look on his face, and Sean was in a bad mood. In his opinion, the fat guy was a little confused and too greedy.

Now I still need Harvey's distribution capabilities in North America, especially the distribution of video tapes after the release, secondary screenings in small local cinemas, etc., after I build my own distribution capabilities.

Ha, fat man has no value anymore.

Of course, setting up a distribution channel is not that simple.

After sending Harvey away and absent-mindedly spending a day with Diane in New York, Sean called the phone number left there.

During the phone call, the other party confirmed that it was Sean himself and seemed very enthusiastic. Sean did not ask who the other party was and just communicated briefly.

Sean said, "There is nothing that cannot be solved with money. If there is, it must be that enough money has not been spent."

Iraq said that money is not an issue!

Money is not a problem, then Sean is not a problem, so without any hesitation, Sean brought with him the president of Umbrella Company, Bill Langton, consultant Leighton Stevens, and Commander of the Surface Warfare Division Robert A. Owens.

Colonel Dennis Abbott, commander of the Marine Division.

A group of 5 people flew directly from New York to Ankara, the capital of Turkey.

We chartered a flight from Ankara to Baghdad, the capital of Iraq.

After the five people landed at Baghdad Airport, they found that the entire airport was under martial law. A middle-aged man in military uniform was looking at Sean who came out of the cabin with a smile on his face.

When they met, before Sean could say anything, a middle-aged man in military uniform walked up enthusiastically, took the initiative to extend his hand and introduced himself: "I am Ali Hassan Majid, nice to meet you, Mr. Rockefeller."

Layton Steven whispered behind Sean: "The cousin of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and the Iraqi Minister of Defense."

"Hello, nice to meet you, Minister Ali Hassan Majid, just call me Sean, my friends all call me." Sean smiled, shook hands with the other person, and corrected the title by the way.

The words the old guy just shouted about Rockefeller made Sean feel a little bad.

The meaning is not pure!

After saying that, Sean had time to take a good look at the man in front of him. He said that the old guy was a bit too much. He was only in his early 40s and slightly chubby. Sean remembered that this guy seemed to have been shot.

However, that was at least more than 20 years later.

There were constant clicks of cameras around them, and both of them were smiling and posing for the camera.

There was a military band playing nearby, and it was like welcoming a national leader.

Sean had no problem with Iraq sending a defense minister to greet him.

He also often talked nonsense with the future president, kicked him several times, and visited the current vice president several times.

The Minister of Defense of Iraq is not enough to make Sean feel flattered.

After chatting for a while at the airport, the group was picked up by Ali and placed in a large villa not far from the Presidential Palace.

The level of luxury of the villa is beyond Sean's imagination. Every place that can be inlaid with gold is inlaid with gold and jewelry.

Don’t the local tycoon’s gold seem too nouveau riche?

Sean didn't know. Anyway, he didn't like it very much. It seemed that people in desert areas had this kind of taste since ancient times.

Although it was just a casual business negotiation, Iraq was still very serious.

A cocktail party was held in the evening. President Saddam did not come, which made Sean a little regretful. However, several of Saddam's sons were present. The 22-year-old young man Uday was tall, thin, and quite tall.

Handsome, 20-year-old Qusay, chubby, mostly old-fashioned, has the same mustache as Ali, or to be more precise, the same mustache as Saddam.

The moment he saw Kusai, Sean felt that this little brat was a scumbag.

In comparison, Uday, who held his forehead high and walked in a windy manner, looked like he had no brains at first glance.

However, both of them are playboys who eat, drink, whore, gamble and smoke. In this regard, they are different from Sean...

Ah, bah, it's all just a joke.

Sean never likes this!

Completely different properties.

Saddam's family was still very welcoming. I was the one who took the rest at night and sent 10 girls.

It is said that they are all pure virgins.

Sean refused verbally, but Uday said that this was Iraq's enthusiasm, which was to let Sean experience the Arab cultural customs. This is cultural exchange and art!

There was no other way, so Sean could only reluctantly agree.

However, before taking a break, Sean still specifically asked Layton Steven.

The old man was 60 years old. Sean didn’t want to come to Iraq, so the old man was sent away directly...

He was prepared to bear the stimulation that his age should not bear on behalf of old man Layton.

But old man Layton still didn't appreciate it, and said very forcefully that he was in great health, and that although his strength was declining, he could not compare to Yueyang City's momentum.

Sean could only shake his head and walk away cursing.

This night...

There is bright moonlight in front of the bed, and the shadows of three people appear opposite each other.

…

Early the next morning, Sean was in good health and got up like normal people. The other two were a little depressed, but their breakfast was almost cold and old man Layton didn't come down either.

In the end, Layton came down holding on to the wall.

Sean has a bad feeling...

The twenty-eight-year-old lady's body looks like a crisp, and she has a sword at her waist to kill the old man.

The people in Iraq are so insidious, they actually destroyed one of my generals!

It was not considered a formal negotiation. We still communicated our intentions and held another banquet at noon, but this time there were fewer people.

Ali Hassan Majid and Sean communicated while eating.

The background of the Iran-Iraq war is very complicated. It has been fought for five full years. In the past five years, Iran and Iraq have almost dried up their blood. However, the two sides have too deep grudges and now they can no longer continue the war.

Among the local wars after World War II, the Iran-Iraq war was considered to be relatively brutal, with very advanced weapons and equipment.

When the United States supported the former Iranian government in its fight with the Soviet Union, it really put in the effort and acquired many advanced weapons and equipment, including fighter jets.

Including 79 F-14A, 32 F-4D, 177 F-4E and 28 F-5F. At its peak, the Royal Air Force of Iran once had 450 advanced fighters and about 5,000 well-trained pilots.

Iraq also has a large number of MiG-21s, MiG-23s, Su-22s, H-6s, etc.

In terms of air power, the two countries are already very powerful.

Of course, we can also see something interesting from this. Iran, which is supported by the Soviet Union, uses American aircraft, and Iraq, which is supported by the United States, uses Soviet aircraft...

Oh, yes, there is also the H-6, yes, that’s right, it’s the Rabbit’s H-6...

In the final battle, the rabbit won the game.

"As long as it does not violate U.S. laws, it is a purely commercial activity. Our umbrella company is a purely commercial company and does not represent any political position." Sean said with a smile: "Business has nothing to do with politics."

Bullshit business has nothing to do with politics, Ali wouldn't believe it, but as long as the umbrella company can complete its mission, it doesn't matter.

"We hope that you can launch a raid on the military base here at a specific time and completely destroy the base. If not, you must persist for more than an hour to buy time for us." Ali took out a map and pointed at it.

A military stronghold on the Iranian border on the Persian Gulf.

What the other party said was not entirely true. Before reaching an agreement, Sean did not ask in detail, "We need to know the specific strength of this military base in Yilang, what its functions are, and what equipment it has."

"This is a missile launch base. We don't know the specific strength and equipment." Ali spread his hands.

Sean did not answer directly. Instead, he leaned closer to Dennis Abbot and asked in a low voice: "I remember that Iraq has Scud missiles. Why didn't they just level this bullshit base with missiles?"

"There are Scuds, there are quite a lot of them. The Soviet Union sold them to them, but the problem is, the Scuds don't have that capability." Dennis Abbot explained in a low voice, and only then did Sean understand why ground troops were needed to advance.

The Scud is a surface-to-surface tactical ballistic missile, an imitation of the German V-2 missile, but this thing is inertially guided, with a maximum range of only 300 kilometers, and its accuracy is very impressive.

The prediction accuracy is 300, but the actual accuracy is even higher than this. After all, there will be errors in the prediction target...

And they are just ordinary warheads, which can hold 860 kilograms of explosives and have a killing radius of about 150 meters.

In other words, it is very likely that if a missile passes by, nothing will happen to the target.

And even if it hits the target, due to the problem of the amount of charge, it can only have a good killing effect on ground targets, but it is really powerless against underground constructions.

"Can I fight?" Sean was more concerned about this.

"Yes, it requires at least a hundred people, tanks and armored vehicles, and enough air support. Two Black Hawks are definitely not enough." Dennis Abt frowned and said: "In addition, if this military base is not suitable for the base,

If the Lang people are very important, the other party will send support soon."

"They have aircraft, F-14s, and once air support arrives, our Black Hawks will be the target."

"Our advantage is that we have a warship that is relatively advanced in the world. My personal suggestion is to rely on warships for operations and give full play to our strengths."

"Of course, the Marine Warfare Division is not afraid of fighting, but... the losses will be huge."

"Of course, we are here to make money, but we are not really here to beat the Iraqis to death." Sean nodded in agreement.

With a slight cough, Sean looked at Ali with a smile on his lips. His tone changed from the seriousness before and became a little frivolous, "Okay, Minister Ali, let's not talk in circles, it's not interesting."

"As for me, I don't like doing things in a rigid manner like the older generation. I prefer to be more direct."

"I have no political stance, no matter what nonsense grudges, politics or religion, I am here to make money!"

"I will do it to anyone who gives me money!"

"As for me, let me tell you about my advantages. If you have a lot of money and don't have to worry about it, introduce it to me. Don't waste everyone's time with this kind of thankless thing."

The corner of Ali Hassan Majid's mouth twitched. He had had many contacts with the Soviets and Americans, and had countless negotiations, but this was the first time he had seen this kind of thing.

There is so much money and no effort, how dare you think about it!

"Currently, I have a Keeling-class guided missile destroyer under my umbrella. You must be familiar with the Keelin-class. There are three ships across from Yilang. I sold them to them before, so I won't introduce them in detail."

"What, you have a Keeling-class destroyer?!" Ali suddenly stood up from his seat and looked at Sean in horror, "This is impossible!"

"But it is a fact. The warship is currently being refitted at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Virginia and will be launched soon." Sean shrugged, spread his hands, and curled his lips three times.

"Crazy, this is simply, unbelievable, my God." Ali was so shocked that some of his words became coherent.

If they want to hire an umbrella company, they will naturally understand the military power of the umbrella.

Especially after the video of the joint exercise in Cartagena was released.

Iraq knows that Sean's protective umbrella includes a large number of American veterans, including 2 Black Hawk helicopter gunships, 2 tanks, and multiple armored transport vehicles.

Whether it is helicopters, tanks or armored vehicles, these equipment are better than what Iraq currently has.

The Black Hawk armed helicopter is currently only equipped in the United States and has not yet been released for foreign sales.

Not to mention Apache.

This force is very powerful and can play a very powerful role on the frontal battlefield. They are Americans and the boss is named Rockefeller, so Iraq has the intention to hire them to give it a try.

Even if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. I just have the mentality of hitting two shots if I have a date or not.

However, there has never been any intelligence showing that the Umbrella Company has warships!

Although the Keeling class can only be used as a target ship to be blown up in the United States, it is still a supremacy class that can dominate the world.

It is precisely because Iran has three Kilin-class destroyers sold to them by the Americans during the Pahlavi Dynasty that Iran can control the Persian Gulf and ensure the smooth flow of their oil export lines.

As for Iraq, because the coastline is only 58 kilometers, the navy and so on...

Regardless of the navy, we are still friends.

After the Iran-Iraq War began, Wolf-class frigates were ordered from Italy last year, and one was just delivered last year.

Since there was little naval power before, warships are not yet proficient in operating them...

The navy is a high-tech branch, and its training is really difficult. It takes several years to train a qualified navy.

In this regard, Sean took advantage of the US military.

The displacement is basically the same as the Keeling class. The anti-ship missile is equipped with the Otomat anti-ship missile. The launch weight is 770 kg. The warhead is 210 kg. The range is 60 kilometers.

It’s similar to the French Flying Fish, but far worse than the American Harpoon that Sean made.

You can tell just by looking at the name, Flying Fish, Harpoon, you can tell that they specialize in it.

In terms of air defense, Italian Wolf-class frigates use the American-made Sea Sparrow air defense missile system.

Sean's Keeling-class equipment is... none.

Of course, Sean won't say this. He doesn't have it now. He can pretend it again when he goes back.

In other words, at present, Sean alone has as much sea power as the entire Iraq...

This is something Ali never expected.

This was the first time he heard about the private ownership of a naval guided missile destroyer, which made Ali's views explode.

After all, this thing is a big money burner, and ordinary people, well, even ordinary billionaires can't afford it.

Take the Harpoon anti-ship missile, which costs US$970,000 per shot.

Generally, small countries cannot afford it. Of course, for example, Wanwan, the unit price at its peak cost 23 million...

I really don’t know how this money... this invoice was issued.

How many rebates...

"I want to emphasize that Yilang's Kilin-class destroyers are different from mine. After all, they are export versions and complete versions. They are FRAM type 1 modified ships, while mine is type 2 modified. In terms of firepower, it beats them completely, including

I'm afraid your Wolf-class frigate will sink before we even have a chance to meet it." Sean said with a very apologetic look.

He knew nothing about the specific combat power, but at this time, he had to brag about his awesomeness.

"I am equipped with a Harpoon missile launch system."

"Harpoon, I think you must be familiar with it. Just 4 years ago, it sank the British HMS Sheffield."

"You have to understand that we have such a big guy at sea, and all operations will be conducted around the Keeling class."

"So, let's get down to business."

"Of course." Ali seemed very excited, but he didn't directly agree to anything. He wanted to go back and discuss it with Saddam and the others.

The rest of the banquet was just small talk, until the next day, Ali came to visit again. This time it was not about talking about anything in detail, but an invitation to visit the Presidential Palace.

Sean finally met Saddam, the "Lion of the Middle East", a legendary figure.

Slightly chubby, with a square face and a mustache. As for the cruelty and murder in the legends of later generations, Sean has not discovered it for the time being.

He likes massacres, watching execution scenes, torture and so on. Sean will not believe the things reported in the media until he sees it with his own eyes.

Meeting, introduction, shaking hands, greetings, taking photos, after a set of procedures, the two parties started talking about business.

By the way, Sean got another photo signed by the president.

After the negotiations officially started, what surprised Sean was that the Iraqi side actually wanted to let the Umbrella side help with the escort.

"Escort!?" Sean looked at Saddam in surprise.

"Yes, escort!" Saddam affirmed: "From the Rabbit side, escort a cargo ship to ensure that they arrive at the Basra Naval Base safely."

Sean and Leighton Stevens looked at each other in surprise. Isn’t this an escort agency?

"I need to know a few things. First, what exactly is being transported?" Sean looked at Saddam.

"Weapons, tanks, armored vehicles, missiles, steel, and many spare parts for weapons." Saddam did not hide anything.

Weapons, tanks?

Sean was stunned for a moment, and he glanced at Layton Stevens in confusion.

Layton Steven turned his head and whispered in Sean's ear: "In the past year or so, Iraq has purchased a large number of weapons, fighter jets, artillery, tanks, armored vehicles, missiles from that big country in the east. Well, to be precise,

, both Iran and Iraq are purchasing arms from Rabbit.”

"Ah? Are Rabbit's weapons so useful?" Sean looked confused. If the memory in his mind was correct, most of Rabbit's weapons in the 1980s were improved after World War II. Compared with those of the United States and the Soviet Union,

There is a big difference. If we specifically look at the Air Force and Navy, they are far behind the other two gangsters.

"It's so cheap!" Layton Steven spread his hands helplessly, "In addition, a large number of equipment of the Iraqi military are Soviet-style, and Rabbit's products can be seamlessly linked."

Cheap!?

Sean almost laughed out loud, this is so damn cheap.

Sean could clearly remember that layoffs began to appear in the 1980s. A large number of factory products were squeezed out and could not be sold. Coupled with the weapons inventory owned by the world's largest army, it was too much.

Cheap beyond imagination.

If you think about it, you will understand. If you spend the same money to buy an American M16 and buy a Type 56, how much can you buy?

What's more, this thing is made of durable leather, and its failure rate in desert areas is much lower than that of the M16, although the accuracy is indeed lower...

However, since it is free fire anyway, who cares so much about it?

Not to mention tanks.

How much does an American-made M48 cost?

How much does the Type 69 medium tank cost?

Yes, the 100mm smoothbore gun is far inferior to the 105mm rifled gun.

But it’s cheap!

Yes, the accuracy and power are both much lower.

But it’s cheap!

Yes, the protection ability is even worse, and there is no three-defense capability.

But it’s cheap!

The price difference has increased many times, and after five years of bad war, the oil tycoons have no food left in their homes.

Not to mention missiles, how much does Red Flag 2 cost? How much does Scud cost?

A J-7 only costs US$3 million. If Sean hadn't been concerned about his identity, he would have placed an order to buy a few of them for fun.

The F-14 is good, $25 million!

He was reluctant to move out. If he was shot down, his intestines would be filled with regret.

After hearing what Layton Steven said, Sean finally understood.

According to later statistics, Rabbit sold more than 2,500 tanks to Iran and Iraq, accounting for 80% of total production. Other Type 59-1 cannons, more than 1,000 Type 63 armored vehicles, and dozens of J-6s,

J-7 fighter jets, Hongqi-2 air defense missiles, etc.

More famously, it also sold the H-6 medium-range strategic bomber.

The only strategic bombers in the world are the United States, the Soviet Union, and the Rabbit H-6. The H-6 is a copycat of the Soviet Union. Due to its short legs, it can only be regarded as a medium-range strategic bomber.

This thing was later used by Iraq to target tankers selling oil to Iran, and the French Mirage F1 was responsible for escorting them.

Such a story happened back then, about Saudi Arabia buying missiles.

In 1987, the penultimate year of the Iran-Iraq war, Saudi Arabia, next door to Iraq, was thinking about safety, safety, or damn safety.

How can we be safe?

Buy missiles, buy missiles that are very advanced!

Saudi Arabia has prepared US$13 billion to buy Lance ballistic missiles from America.

The Lance missile is a surface-to-surface tactical missile with relatively advanced performance. Its maximum range is only 120 kilometers, which is worse than the Scud. However, this thing is fast, can reach 3 times the factor, has an altitude of 45 kilometers, and an accuracy of 150 meters.

Vehicle-mounted launch, launch preparation time is short, easy to operate, easy to train, the transport vehicle has amphibious maneuverability and good off-road performance.

America feels that the Middle East cannot have such powerful weapons, as this is not conducive to regional chaos, ah, it is not conducive to regional peace.

Saudi Arabia is very angry. If you don't let me buy a spear, then I will buy a better one. I want to buy a big one that can hit all the surrounding countries!

So, I went to find John Bull again, and it turned out that John Bull himself didn’t have anything so awesome.

Just when Saudi Arabia was in great distress, he suddenly thought of the rabbit that has been wandering between Iran and Iraq in recent years, selling goods repeatedly.

Then, they secretly sent people to sneak into the rabbit nest.

It was sneaking in. We didn’t establish diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia in 1987. At that time, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf were ‘friendly countries’.

A man with a moustache covering his head suddenly appeared near Rabbit's military base. He asked, "Okay, I want to buy the big one."

Thick, long, and hard,

It is something that makes people very excited, very stimulating and very motivated after owning it!

The Dongfeng-3 medium-range ballistic missile has a maximum range of 2,800 kilometers.

This range meant that it became the longest-range missile in the Middle East at that time, covering not only Iran, Iraq and Israel, but also parts of India and the Soviet Union.

It is said that when the price was being discussed, the Chinese side made a '1' gesture.

It means 10 million. This price is already very expensive. After all, everyone knew the cost of rabbit things at that time.

State-owned military enterprises don’t have much money.

Saudi Arabia: One hundred million?

Chinese: (O_o)??Ah?

Saudi: OK!

Chinese: Ah!!

Saudi Arabia: Dollar?

Chinese: Ah?o_O

Saudi: OK!

Chinese: Ah!!

One hundred million per stick,

USD, cash settlement!

The whole process was confusing. At that time, rabbits were not that valuable in the country, and the J-7 had only been priced at 3 million before.

That's unprecedented.

I have never thought, let alone experienced, that one stick can be sold for so much money.

At that time, the Dongfeng 3 all had nuclear warheads. For this reason, a new conventional warhead was specially designed and manufactured for Saudi Arabia.

Weighs 2 tons!

In the end, 35 Dongfeng Express cars were sold for US$3.5 billion.

What is the concept of 3.5 billion US dollars? You must know that at that time, Rabbit's foreign exchange reserves were only 2 billion.

This 2 billion is still money from repeatedly selling weapons back and forth between Iran and Iraq.

Quite thirsty!

Back then, things in Rabbit were very backward, and there was nothing that could be exported to earn foreign exchange. At that time, we were still an oil-exporting country.

What we rely on to earn foreign exchange is arms!

These 35 Dongfeng brand express boxes have protected Saudi Arabia’s peace for decades.

I say this because on August 2, 1990, Iraq invaded Kuwait brazenly, and 10 hours later, the entire territory of Kuwait fell.

This is still Iraq, which declined significantly after the Iran-Iraq war...

After occupying Kuwait, the 100,000-strong army marched towards Saudi Arabia's eastern border.

At the critical moment, the "Dongfeng-3" appeared on Saudi Arabia's official TV station. The Saudi military transported multiple "Dongfeng-3" missiles to the launch base and could 'force u', 'force u', 'force u' at any time...

38 warheads weighing 2 tons can wipe out half of Baghdad, and then Iraq will withdraw its troops.

Throughout the eight years of the Iran-Iraq war, Rabbit sold a large amount of weapons to the Middle East. It dared to sell everything to Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, and they were all the most advanced.

Most of the foreign exchange used back then came from this, which solved a big problem.

So, who won the Iran-Iraq war?

rabbit,

Everyone wins.

Now, what Iraq wants is for Sean to send warships to escort ships transporting weapons to safely pass through the Persian Gulf.

Due to Iran's long coastline, the entire Persian Gulf, including the Gulf of Oman, is within the strike range of Iran's navy.

It is very difficult for Iraq to transport weapons in, and it needs to borrow other countries.

Transporting weapons to other countries costs money, is slow, inconvenient, and may be detained at any time.

Therefore, if Sean can help escort, Saddam would rather spend more money.

Of course, there is also the intention of letting Sean have a collision with the Yilang Navy. It would be better if he could sink the Yilang warship.

Escort, this job is okay!

Sean is still very excited. Although there is a risk of doing it, the possibility of not being able to do it is greater.

Unless Iran is a lunatic, there is still Iraq to control it!

Several people discussed it, and in principle, Sean agreed, and all that was left was to talk about money.

"If you are going to escort us, you will still have to face the threat of the Yilang Navy. They may start to attack you at any time. If you don't do it, I will definitely not accept it. The risk is too great. One of my warships costs hundreds of millions."

"As for me, I'm not someone who takes advantage of others. Let's protect our capital, just 100 million U.S. dollars in cash." Sean looked at Saddam with a smile.

Saddam's forehead was throbbing with veins. If it weren't for the fact that Sean was an American, he would have cursed him. It was so shameful.

"How much does it cost to build a warship? How much does a Harpoon missile cost? It's 3 million. If there really is a fight, 20 million won't be able to stop me in a minute. Your 10 million is like asking me to escort you. Then you can find someone else."

Well, look at who dares to do it in the whole world!" After some haggling, Sean refused to let go after biting the price of 50 million.

Rabbit's navy is really weak at this time and cannot deliver goods to your door.

The United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and France are certainly capable, but they are armies. They can just escort non-military facilities. This kind of escorting of weapons is not necessary unless they are preparing to participate in war.

The only private individuals capable of doing this kind of escort work are Sean and his family.

If you are a one-man business, why don’t you charge a death price!?

As for Iraq, borrowing roads from other countries and driving hundreds of tanks, hundreds of armored vehicles, and artillery directly from other countries' territory are not willing to pay high prices.

Finally, Sean promised, and the ship shipped the cargo.

On the surface, this shipment has nothing to do with Iraq. It is a cargo ship bound for Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

Send hidden mark.

50 million US dollars, Saddam finally reluctantly agreed.

A security service order worth US$50 million was signed. The two parties signed a commercial contract and characterized the order as a commercial act.

After the order was signed, both parties shook hands and were in a good mood.

Although Iraq also has Wolf-class frigates, if they dare to dispatch them for escort, how can Iran not understand that it will be a naval battle?

After it was over, Sean curiously asked Saddam why he thought of contacting Umbrella.

Saddam's answer made Sean look strange...
