Eagle Sauce: The 055 destroyer was launched into the sea just after the founding of the country?

Sankara's eyes lit up for a moment, but then became wary.

“Loan? What’s the interest rate?”

General Chen frowned slightly, obviously a little surprised by Fang Yu's sudden proposal.

He cast a questioning look at Fang Yu, but after seeing Fang Yu's confident expression, he regained his composure.

"3% annual interest,"

Fang Yu said without hesitation, "It's more favorable than any other Western country."

"The loan term can be up to ten years, and for the first three years you only have to pay interest, not the principal."

Abdullah listened and nodded slightly, with a glint of approval in his eyes.

This young man not only understands weapons, but also finance.

When Sankara heard this, his eyes lit up at first, but then he showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

His rough hands unconsciously stroked the buttons on his military uniform.

"Thank you for the kindness of Longguo, but our country is small and poor. I am afraid that even if we borrow a loan, it will be difficult to repay it..."

Fang Yu smiled slightly, crossed his hands on the table, and looked sharp.

"That's okay!"

"Even if you don't have money, you still have mines in your country, right?"

These words seemed to touch Sankara. He leaned forward slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed across his dark face.

"Yes, we do. We have several diamond and copper mines in our country, and the quality is quite good."

He paused, a helpless expression on his face.

“But due to transportation problems, it has never been well developed, so it’s not worth much at all…”

The light in the living room shone on his dark skin, casting several shadows and making his expression look particularly complicated.

“Isn’t that perfect?”

A gleam of light flashed in Fang Yu's eyes. He leaned forward, his voice sounding a bit seductive.

"Even if you don't have the money to repay the loan in the future, Longguo will use those minerals as collateral."

His fingertips tapped lightly on the table.

"Furthermore, we will purchase your minerals at internationally accepted prices, so you don't have to worry about being ripped off..."

Sankara's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at Abdullah hesitantly, as if seeking some kind of confirmation.

Abdullah nodded slightly, his white beard trembling slightly with the movement.

"This..." Sankara's voice was low and hoarse, "Is Longguo really willing to help us develop those minerals?"

Fang Yu smiled and nodded.

"Of course. We can provide exploration equipment, mining technology, and even help you build a railway from the mine to the port."

His tone became more determined.

"In this way, you get weapons to ensure national security, and we get a stable source of minerals. Both sides benefit."

General Chen nodded silently, with a hint of approval in his eyes.

This arrangement is indeed in line with the long-term interests of Longguo.

The living room fell silent, with only the occasional car horn outside the window breaking the silence.

Sankara's breathing quickened slightly, and he tapped his fingers lightly on his knee, a habit he used when pondering a major decision.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but it also means handing over the country's resources to outsiders...

“How to do it specifically?”

Sankara finally spoke, his voice even deeper than before.

Fang Yu took out a draft agreement that had been prepared long ago from his briefcase and handed it to Sankara.

"The loan term is ten years, with an annual interest rate of three percent. You only have to pay interest for the first three years, and repayment of the principal begins in the fourth year."

"If you can't repay the loan when it's due, you can use the minerals to offset the debt. The specific ratio will be calculated based on the international market price at the time."

He pointed to a passage in the document.

“At the same time, we will send geological experts and mining engineers to assist you in developing the mineral resources, and the cost will be paid by the loan.”

The scene fell into a brief silence.

After a while.

A bright smile spread across Sankara's face, and his dark eyes sparkled with unconcealable excitement.

He slapped his thigh hard, his voice rising a few pitches with excitement.

“No wonder Prince Abdullah has so much trust in the Dragon Kingdom!”

"Your country is truly honest in doing business!"

He stood up and paced around the living room.

Then he turned to face Fang Yu and General Chen, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

"Honestly, compared to those Westerners who are sucking our blood out of us and want to exploit us completely in one deal, Longguo is the real friend!"

"I accept this proposal!"

Fang Yu smiled and looked at the excited Feizhou officer calmly.

But in his mind, he was quickly calculating the deeper meaning behind this transaction.

The strategic value of Kifaso's mineral resources to Longguo far exceeds the value of these hundreds of millions of dollars in arms, especially those rare metal and diamond mines, which are enough to support the raw material needs of the country's emerging industries.

This deal with Longguo is a sure win...

"Boss Fang, General Chen,

Sankara sat back in his chair, his voice slightly lowered, but he couldn't hide his excitement.

"Since the terms are so favorable, I think we can first borrow $300 million and strive to form two armored regiments."

"With these two armored regiments, at least our country's security problems can be alleviated a lot!"

Upon hearing this, General Chen exchanged a meaningful look with Fang Yu.

He nodded slightly, a satisfied smile on his face: "General, your decision is wise."

"Two armored regiments in the state of Beifu are indeed a good combat force, enough to ensure the basic security needs of Kifasso."

When Prince Abdullah, who was sitting next to him, heard this number, the corners of his mouth under his beard rose slightly.

As the matchmaker of this meeting, he was naturally very satisfied to see the transaction progressing smoothly.

He took a sip of tea and leaned back leisurely on the leather sofa, his eyes moving back and forth between Fang Yu and Sankara.

"Three hundred million dollars, two armored regiments..."

Fang Yu seemed to be calculating something in his mind, and then nodded slightly.

“It’s a reasonable size.”

"But General, I suggest that you don't just focus on tanks and armored vehicles. You should also equip them with corresponding air defense and fire support systems."

"A complete armored unit requires comprehensive firepower support."

Upon hearing this, Sankara's eyes lit up surprisingly.

"Mr. Fang is right! We do need a complete combat system. Do you have any specific suggestions?"

Fang Yu took out a thick folder from his briefcase and handed it to Sankara.

"Here are several equipment configurations we designed for different combat environments. You can see which one is most suitable for Kifasso's national conditions."

“Of course, we will customize it according to your actual needs.”

Sankara took the folder and began to look through it eagerly.

With each page he turned, his eyes brightened and the smile on his face grew wider.

These configuration plans obviously far exceeded his expectations and gave him hope for the modernization of the Kifaso army.

“This is so comprehensive!”

Sankara closed the folder, his expression agitated.

"With these equipment, we in Kifaso will definitely have more say in regional affairs!"

"Mr. Fang, if conditions permit, I hope to finalize this deal as soon as possible, and ideally, complete the delivery of the first batch of equipment before the end of the year."

"sure."

Fang Yu smiled slightly.

“I’ll arrange for someone to liaise with you to ensure the entire process goes smoothly. As for delivery time, we’ll do our best to meet your needs!”

"and……"

Fang Yu nodded quickly, a satisfied smile on his face.

"General, since you are so straightforward, our Dragon Nation cannot be stingy."

"I'll give you the lowest price for this batch of weapons, and then give you a 20% discount. I guarantee you'll get great value for money!"

When Sankara heard this, his eyes lit up instantly, and his dark eyes flashed with unconcealable joy.

He stood up suddenly, strode to Fang Yu, and held the other's hands tightly with both hands.

"Mr. Fang, I am deeply moved by your generosity! This price... On behalf of the entire people of Kiev, I thank you!"

The two sides quickly finalized the details, and a $300 million arms procurement contract was about to be signed.

However, when the document was about to be signed, Sankara's expression suddenly became hesitant.

He rubbed his hands, his eyes wandering, as if he had something to say but was unable to bring himself to speak.

"General, from the looks of you, is there anything else you haven't mentioned?"

Fang Yu keenly caught this detail, put down his pen and looked straight at Sankara.

Sankara nodded and took a deep breath.

"Mr. Fang, besides weapons procurement, I do have an unsolicited request, but I'm not sure if I should mention it."
