Starting as an arms dealer, I am the overlord in South America

In the end, Sadam still requested 10 A10 Warthog ground attack aircraft and 300 AGM-65 ground attack missiles, but did not request any additional air-to-air missiles, after all, AIM-9 air-to-air missiles can also be mounted.

"Mr. President, you also want ground-to-ground weapons. Do you need anti-aircraft weapons?"

"Anti-aircraft weapons?"

"Yes." Louis explained:"You see, Persia often attacks your refineries and blows up your military bases. If you have an air defense system, you don't have to worry about being destroyed by the enemy."

"For example, if an oil refinery is destroyed, it will take a long time to restore it, which will delay production. Besides, time is money."

"Furthermore, shouldn’t the airport also be equipped with an advanced and sophisticated air defense system so that when the enemy comes, it can be detected and shot down in time, don’t you think?"

"Mr. Louis, I find that you are really a genius in business." Sadamu laughed. Louis shrugged

:"It doesn't matter whether you are a genius or not. What's important is that I make a living. Besides, I am not just selling weapons and equipment. I am also optimistic about you. You are an excellent soldier. I believe that under your leadership, the Kingdom of Iraq will be able to reproduce the glory of the Kingdom of Babylon."

Sadamu waved his hand:"Don't rush to flatter me. Tell me about your air defense system. What are the advantages?"

"As for the advantages, there are definitely some."

Louis immediately started to promote the 9M33 short-range air defense missile system, the main point of which is that it is cheap. It is very suitable for defending airports and refineries.

Although it is a short-range air defense, as long as enough are deployed, the probability of interception is still very high.

Besides, it is cost-effective.

One set is only 1.8 million US dollars.

After listening to it, Sadamu waved his hand and generously ordered 20 sets, and also asked for an additional 300 SAM-8 air defense missiles.

I planned to continue to promote weapons, but Sadamu showed little interest. He was not interested in armed helicopters, let alone tanks. With T72 tanks, it was enough to compete with Persia's tanks.

Louis was a little disappointed. He wanted to promote more, but that was it? If they don't want it, you can't force them.

After determining the weapons and equipment to be purchased and the quantity, Louis calculated.

F16 fighter jets, 45 million US dollars each, a total of 36 aircraft, a total of 1.62 billion US dollars

AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles, priced at $500,000 each, 1,000 units purchased, totaling $500 million.

BM270 self-propelled rocket launchers, priced at $2.7 million per vehicle, 200 units purchased, totaling $540 million.

Rockets, priced at $50,000 each, 20,000 units purchased, totaling $1 billion

A-10 Warthog ground attack aircraft, $30 million each, 10 in total, $300 million in total

AGM-65 air-to-ground missiles, each at $200,000, 300 for a total of $60 million.

Adding them up one by one, the total is $4.02 billion

"Mr. President, please take a look at the list. It's a total of 4.02 billion US dollars. I won't count the last 20 million US dollars. How about 4 billion US dollars?"Luis smiled and handed the calculated list to Sadamu opposite him.

4 billion US dollars?

Sadamu was shocked and quickly took the list and looked at the calculated numbers carefully.

Good man, you really want 4 billion US dollars!

"this..."

Looking at the numbers on the list, Sadam didn't know what to say.

Iraq's annual GDP is only more than 60 billion US dollars, and this is almost one-fifteenth of it.

However, thinking of the support of a number of wealthy countries such as Saudi Camel and Kosovo, it is not impossible to squeeze out the money.

During the Iran-Iraq War, Kosovo alone lent Iraq 14 billion US dollars.

And the dog tycoon Saudi Camel also provided financial support.

Just like Baba Sheep in South Asia, which has been confronting the White Elephant India for many years, it relies on the wealthy countries in the Middle East to give money behind the scenes to buy weapons and equipment, otherwise the White Elephant would have eaten Baba Sheep long ago.

As for why these wealthy countries support Baba Sheep, it is mainly because their own country's soldiers are not strong, so they have to spend money to train a thug.

Baba Sheep, who often fights with the White Elephant and has rich combat experience, has become the best choice.

So 4 billion US dollars can be taken out with gritted teeth.

"No problem, just follow this list."

Sadamu said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Louis was overjoyed. This business alone was enough for him to completely turn things around. When he returned to Colombia, he would directly send troops to conquer Colombia.

"Mr. President, I need to tell you something."

"Please tell me"

"I hope Mr. President will not reveal my identity. You know, if my identity is exposed, I may face the pursuit of the CIA. That's fine, but if I am caught, it will affect the future cooperation, right?"

Sadamu heard this, his face became serious, and he looked at Louis seriously:"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this."

In his heart, he was more certain that Louis must be the spokesperson for the US arms group.

At worst, he was a US politician or a spokesperson for a big shot.

"That's good."

Louis smiled and stretched out his hand, looking at Sadamu:"I wish us a happy cooperation."

Sadamu also stretched out his hand and shook hands:"Happy cooperation!"
