Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

Tank Factory Reception Room.

Marani had been here before, but this time he was very anxious. He sat on the sofa for a few seconds, then stood up, pacing back and forth, looking out the window, looking at the door, and then sitting down again.

After fidgeting for more than half an hour, footsteps finally came from outside. He quickly ran to the door, opened it, and sure enough, he saw that familiar person.

"President Qin!"

"Yes, Marani, I heard you were looking for me?"

"Yes, President Qin, I have something very important to discuss with you!"

"What is it?"

"I heard that you are going to export the most advanced tanks to Iraq."

As expected, he came for this matter! Qin Yang's face darkened: "What's wrong, does your side have any objections?"

"No, no, we have no objections." Marani realized that Qin Yang had misunderstood and quickly said, "President Qin, we just want to ask you to export equally advanced weapons and equipment to us!"

They, Iran, were the ones pursuing quality advantages!

If Iraq purchases the ordinary version of the Type 69 tank, they would purchase the upgraded version of the Type 69 tank. On the battlefield, their tanks would be more advanced. But now, President Qin was actually going to sell the most advanced tanks to Iraq. What about their side?

Their side must have equally advanced weapons!

A smile appeared on Marani's face: "That's right!"

When the war first started, Iraq, with the slogan of being the fourth strongest military power in the world, was indeed very powerful, invincible, and invaded Iran in three directions in a short period of time. However, after the initial panic, Iran reacted. They wrote their loyalty to the country with blood and life. They blocked the Iraqi army like a tide, and then launched a counterattack!

Now, they are advancing towards the border. They believe that they will achieve the final victory just like the Soviet Union during World War II!

Even if the Iraqis purchase advanced tanks, what will happen? These tanks will eventually fall into their hands!

However, after being happy, Marani realized that even so, their side still needed advanced weapons. How would their side fight against those advanced tanks? Could the Type 69 tank's cannon penetrate the main armor of this advanced tank?

"President Qin, you just said the weapons and equipment we need most, what kind of equipment is that?" Marani asked.

"Of course, it's warplanes." Qin Yang said, "You should know that we will provide you with advanced warplanes, right?"

Marani nodded: "Yes, we are looking forward to this warplane."

Not many people know about this project. Marani is one of the few. He is looking forward to the day when the Eastern-made Tomcat can be equipped in large numbers, then they will be even more powerful.

They can block the enemy's attacks and launch counterattacks, relying on air power! The ground belongs to the Iraqis, but the sky has always belonged to Iran.

Unfortunately, the supply of parts for their Tomcat fighters has been cut off, and the number is getting smaller and smaller. Otherwise, they would be able to launch counterattacks every day.

"But, this kind of warplane is rarely used for ground attacks. Are you saying, let us use this warplane to attack the enemy's tanks?" Marani quickly reacted again.

It would be a waste to put the precious Tomcat fighters into the front-line air combat. Now they are being used as early warning aircraft to command other fighters to engage in air combat, let alone ground attacks. Ground attacks are very dangerous. Small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, or even machine guns, may shoot down their warplanes, which is completely not worth it.

"Of course, it's not attacking ground tanks, but attacking ships at sea."

Ships!

Marani's eyes widened: "Are you saying, let us fire on civilian ships?"

Isn't this too shocking?

Qin Yang smiled: "Those are not civilian ships. Those tankers exporting oil will provide economic resources to your enemies. The supplies transported by those ships will allow your enemies to eat their fill and continue fighting. War has always been cruel. During World War II, didn't German submarines keep attacking supply convoys in the Atlantic?"

Marani was still hesitating.

"If you don't act, the Iraqis will act too. The Iraqis are retreating steadily and have to think of some tricks to save this critical situation." Qin Yang said, "They will attack your tankers sooner or later. When the time comes, you will destroy their freighters transporting supplies. In this way, they will not get supplies and will naturally be defeated. What if they have advanced tanks? They can't do it without enough ammunition."

Nie Xiaoqian didn't speak aside, but was extremely shocked in her heart. Was Brother Yang too ruthless?

This is not that Qin Yang is too ruthless, but the fact is like this. Since it is a destined thing to happen, what if you push it?

Saddam Hussein took the lead in launching the Tanker War. Although Iraq is at the innermost part of the Persian Gulf, they are not afraid, because their tankers mainly take the land route, directly exporting to the north. Although Iran controls the exit of the Persian Gulf, their most important port is at the innermost part.

So, the Mirage F1 fighter came with the Exocet missile and blew up the Iranian tankers, trying to force Iran to cease the war in this way. The Iranians were not willing to show weakness. The Iraqis could not bomb them, but the tankers of other countries supporting Iraq had to pass through the Persian Gulf! Especially Kuwait to the south, which can only take the sea route.

The fierce Tanker War kicked off in this way. In this war, both sides suffered heavy losses and there were no winners. However, the Eastern military industry survived the difficulties because of this.

Now, in order to sell more arms, Qin Yang certainly wants to promote this matter.

No, he is for Iran, to let them defeat the enemy, he is the messenger of justice.

Marani still didn't agree, he was still thinking.

President Qin is right, but what President Qin said is still considered from the overall perspective. President Qin still hasn't directly solved the problem for them, that is to say, how should they directly face the threat of the latest tanks purchased by Iraq?

"President Qin, does your country have any advanced anti-tank weapons?"
