Chapter 458 Arms business!

Lin Yu knew that on November 2 this year, someone would secretly visit McFarlane and transport weapons. On November 4, Iranian Speaker Rafsanjani publicly confirmed that the secret transaction of weapons by the United States and Iran was defeated. After the incident, the United States was in an uproar and Reagan's reputation dropped sharply. On November 6, at the second press conference, Reagan admitted that a series of misconduct on this issue. As of the outbreak of the Iranian Gate, the United States had conducted 6 arms sales to Iran, and the celebrity hostages were released.

Although news had already been heard before, this incident still caused a crisis of trust from the US government and Iraq's dissatisfaction. At this time, Iraq asked France for help, indicating that Iraq might have found any news. Therefore, while Mitterrand met with the Iraqi ambassador, he hinted to the French government their wishes, that is, they hoped to obtain arms supply from France.

How could Lin Yu refuse this? If he doesn't do the business of making money, he will not be Lin Yu. Give him a fulcrum and he dares to say that the Soviet Union will kill it, let alone the Iraq War.

Lin Yu smiled and said, "We not only need to support Iraq, but we can sell a large number of weapons. As long as it does not affect the core interests of France, we can sell them to him. If you don't have money, then use the oil field to mortgage things. You can hide things, but you don't have to worry about being known. Iraq can be said to have gained support from the Western and Arab worlds in this battle, so our support is just a just move."

Lin Yu said slowly, not worried about whether Iraq's oil fields could be obtained, because he only had certificates. If Iraq did not want him to mine oil in the future, then he would not be too polite to the Gulf War at that time, and it would be fine if Saddam ended early. The oil fields would still be in his hands because he had the right to mine.

After confirming the plan, Jason thought about the British government going to his own side... and promised that he would never harm the interests of the British government.

Just after that, something shocking happened.

On September 3, 1986, French President Mitterrand visited Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. The leaders of the two countries had in-depth conversations, reached a consensus on some issues, and signed some secret treaties... As for the content of the treaty, outsiders had no way to know.

But then, a senior officer of the Iraqi army went to France for a return visit and had an in-depth conversation with French President Mitterrand.

In the next few days, he visited the French Aerospace Company, France Dassault, France Ground Weapons Industry Group and other arms companies, and signed a Dafranc procurement contract with France Aerospace, and purchased 200 Phantom series aircraft to be discontinued from France Dassault, with a unit price of 10,000 US dollars. This purchase alone would cost 22 US dollars... He also purchased some other equipment, reaching 500 million US dollars.

What's even bigger is the hundreds of armored vehicles, tanks, missiles, and destructive weapons purchased from the French Ground Weapons Industry Group, with a cumulative contract of 3.6 billion francs.

This purchase can be said to have made France profitable... Nearly 100 million US dollars of revenue will definitely leave a glorious amount in the arms market in 1985.

However, France's actions this time made the US government hate it. Before he could react, the British government there was anxious again. Because France made too much money, it made it jealous, so it accelerated its actions. The direct impact of the British government's subsequent actions made the United States even more uneasy... because it felt that Europe was no longer as obedient as before.

France's nearly 10 billion US dollars of arms orders are really jealous of many countries...such as the United States and the United Kingdom.

After reaching an agreement with Lin Yu... After hearing about the French arms order case, Mrs. Thatcher contacted the Iranian contact in the UK as soon as possible. Why wasn't she an ambassador?

Because long before the Iranian Gate, the United States informed European and American countries that jointly imposed an arms embargo on Iran because of its arrest of its spy in Iran. In order to show Iran's tough stance, the Iranian ambassador also withdrew at that time.

However, Iran is not stupid either. It also wants to ease its relations with the United States, and does not want Europe and the United States to directly intervene in the Iran-Iraq War. Therefore, it later released those United States and secretly hinted to the United States that it is willing to buy weapons. However, this incident was leaked, which was also the cause of the subsequent "Iranian Gate".

What about the United States? After a secret peace with Iran, it was considering taking over the Iranian arms market and did not inform the United Kingdom. Therefore, Iran's relations with the United Kingdom have not eased yet. However, considering the future relations between the two countries, in order to continuously cut off all the retreat, the British government allowed Iran to leave a contact person long before.

It is precisely because of this secret move that the British government has room for peace talks with Iran.

And at this time? The Iranian contact person also received news from Iran, asking him to find a suitable country to seek arms support immediately, because the batch of arms ordered by Iraq really scared them, and what scared them even more was that this batch of arms was actually in stock and could be transported to Iraq as soon as possible.

When Iran thought that Iraq would immediately get this batch of arms and put it on the battlefield, it couldn't help but feel trembling.

It was originally the best to seek support from the United States, but Reagan is now trapped in the Iranian gate. He is still too busy to take care of himself. Who has time to care about them? Moreover, the United States supported Iraq before, so from the outside, Iraq is just.

Therefore, for the United States, who are bitches and want to establish a archery, they will never sell arms to them on a large scale. Even if they want to sell, they will only be small batches, such as fighter jets, and they will never be able to sell them.

Therefore, it is important for them to seek support from other Western powers. At this time, Western powers were previously detained in the arms embargo and would not agree. Therefore, Iran's contact person is now anxious like an ant on a hot pan.

At this time, before the contact person could do something, Mrs. Thatcher's contact person came to the door. When she heard that Mrs. Thatcher wanted to summon him, the contact person's eyes lit up and he followed the man to Downing Street without stopping.

Lin Yu was also contacting the arms to buy clothes at this time. After all, Iraq and Iran are not small customers, so they will definitely eat as much as they want. Lin Yu will naturally find a few big buyers.
