Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

"Generals, as time entered the 1980s, air and sea supremacy became increasingly important. The continental army theory pursued by the Soviet Union is no longer appropriate. Please think about it, in the several wars that took place in the desert, did the air force play a decisive role in the war?"

"Due to the special geographical environment, countries rely on sea routes to transport oil abroad."

Shortly after the test ended, everyone was taken to a meeting room.

Lin Kaifeng talked about the importance of air and sea control without hesitation.

Ensure the safety of maritime oil transportation among countries through missile speedboats.

The United States' aircraft carrier battle groups have been roaming near the coasts of desert countries for years, posing a serious threat to the countries' oil transportation lines.

at the same time.

Persia, the desert country's main threat, still has strong military power.

As long as the Soviet Union, which fully supports Persia, does not collapse, the war will continue.

Hearing this, the generals nodded in agreement.

The Soviet Union's support for Persia has reached the point where it will do anything to support it.

Whatever Persia lacked, the Soviet Union would provide it.

At the same time, the Soviet Union also brought the Eastern Bloc into the battlefield.

The Soviet Union provided weapons, and the Eastern countries were responsible for providing supplies.

The purpose is simple, to ensure that oil prices remain high.

As long as the war continues, global oil prices will never stabilize.

The Soviet Union's oil export business will also continue.

This is why.

The war between Lak and Persia lasted so long.

Even without the weapons and equipment provided by Longguo, Persia could still support the war with the support of the Soviet Union alone.

Major General Aziz cursed fiercely: "If it weren't for the blood transfusion from the Soviet Union, Persia would have been defeated long ago!"

"Relying on torpedo boats and mine-laying speedboats provided by the Soviet Union, the Persian Navy is like a rat hiding underground. Every time a group is eliminated, they will resume their attacks in a very short time, posing a threat to the oil exports of our countries time and time again."

A military general from a wealthy dog-producing country said helplessly: "It can't be helped. The Soviet Union is heavily dependent on oil exports."

"The economic dividends brought by high oil prices became the only profit channel for the Soviet Union."

"Persia is the only ally of the Soviet Union in the desert region. Once Persia collapses, the Soviet Union's influence in the region will also disappear."

Representatives from all countries are well aware of the current situation.

Maritime oil transportation lines are the economic lifeline of every country.

Persia was aware of these weaknesses and would send out small speedboats and mine-laying boats every once in a while to launch harassment attacks on oil tankers from various countries.

Force other countries to stop providing blood transfusions to Latin America.

In this way, the country of Lak was forced to stop the war.

Chief Mustafa took the opportunity to explain an extremely harsh reality.

No matter how much money countries have, it is difficult to obtain large surface ships from Western military powers.

Neither the United States nor Western European countries have ever been willing to sell large ships of more than 4,000 tons to desert countries.

It's not about worrying about leaks, but about fearing that the desert country will build a strong navy.

Affects the interests of Western oil companies in the desert world.

The only way for countries to improve their maritime power and ensure the normal transportation of oil is to use the missile speedboats provided by Longguo.

Dicheng's oil reserves rank the lowest among desert oil countries.

Also, Dicheng is only one of the seven tribes in the emirate.

Neither the oil reserves nor the influence are enough for Di City to have more say in desert affairs.

In this situation.

Chief Mustafa must do everything he can to gain the right to speak and economic benefits for Di City.

Acting as an arms broker for the Northern Machinery Group is a very promising business.

After waiting for so long, Lin Kaifeng's Northern Machinery Group finally began to engage in the arms business on a large scale.

It's no longer just small fights like before.

The Type 59 modified main battle tank demonstrated its strong combat value through war.

The Sea Shark missile boat is also very powerful.

One or two ships, but there is no apparent effect.

Once the missile speedboats form a certain number and scale, they will be no match for the Persian ships.

Even the US aircraft carrier battle group may not be able to gain an advantage against large-scale missile speedboats.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Major General Aziz and General Fatak from Latka had shining eyes.

The oil-producing countries provided money, and Latvia provided troops and weapons to fight against Persia on behalf of the desert countries.

After several years of war, the results were evenly matched.

The Soviet Union jumped back and forth in the war, and finally decided to support Persia with all its strength.

In this way, Persia could obtain both weapons from the Soviet Union and material supplies from the Eastern Bloc.

The strength is getting stronger day by day.

Persia's land area and population are both larger than those of Lak.

There was no other way to go, and the war, which had lasted for several years, would probably end in a state of neither victory nor defeat.

In one word, buy!

Major General Aziz said impatiently: "General Lin, our country of Lak is planning to purchase 100 Sea Shark missile speedboats. Can we discuss the price?"

"One missile boat costs 30 million US dollars, and 100 boats cost 3 billion. Our economic situation is not very good now. If you are willing to lower the price appropriately, I think this deal will go very smoothly."

Lin Kaifeng glanced at Chief Mustafa.

"General Aziz, we all know about the current economic situation in Lak. I have already discussed it with Brother Lin. The price of 30 million US dollars is the cost price and it really cannot be reduced any further. But you don't have to worry."

"Since we are all brothers, I am willing to lend a helping hand and provide a loan of funds to your country of Lak."

Hearing this, General Fatak was quite surprised and said, "Your Highness, Chief, how much loan money can Di City provide us?"

"Five billion US dollars."

Chief Mustafa held up five fingers and said generously: "Although life in Di City is not easy, for the unity of the desert world and to fight against the common enemy, I am willing to squeeze out 5 billion US dollars from my personal assets and lend it to you in the form of a loan."

Immediately, General Fatak quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

There is no love without reason, and no help without reason.

Chief Mustafa opened his mouth with 5 billion.

I'm afraid this money is easy to borrow but difficult to repay.

While the representative of Latvia was in deep thought, representatives of several other countries spoke one after another.

They have placed orders with the Northern Machinery Group for Sea Shark missile boats.

The wealthy dog ​​tycoon ordered two hundred speedboats at one time.

Like Latvia, Canada also has a long coastline.

The coastlines of several other countries are not as long as those of Latin America and the Caribbean, but the oil export methods of each country are almost the same, and the main method is sea transportation.

Maritime security is related to the lifeline of oil transportation in various countries.

There is no room for negligence.
