After occupying an equal negotiating position, the two parties discussed the details of the negotiation, which of course included the provision of weapons, the transfer of technology, etc.
The delegation headed by Ivanovich is really very articulate. The negotiations have reached a stalemate several times. For example, Russia is very cautious when it comes to major technology transfers. Soryu wants Russia to give them Provide an aircraft production chain and produce aircraft in Basra. Russia agreed.
However, the core components of the aircraft are firmly required to be manufactured in Russia. Originally, Canglong wanted to obtain the complete aircraft technology to promote the military industry exhibition in Basra. After all, apart from having money, they have nothing technical at all, and Relying solely on buying will not work.
For example, Israel, which stands tall in the Middle East, has been constantly innovating independently since the founding of the country. It does not just spend money to purchase armaments. This will only be subject to the purchasing country. In the event of hostility, all parts and systems will be updated. Upgrading requires technology provided by the country of origin.
"If Russia does not export technology to us, but only exports weapons, it will be difficult for Basra to maintain a certain military advantage, and it will even be detrimental to our future strategy. After all, Russia is still such a long distance from Iraq, whether by sea or by road. Transporting weapons will create unnecessary risks. -" Vivian said directly, [
When facing the Russians, Vivian showed her talent as a diplomat, but the Russians are not vegetarians. As soon as she finished speaking, one of the staff said: "If Russia exports technology to Basra, what will happen to Russia in the future?" Maintain technological advantages, and how do you ensure that these technologies are not leaked out?"
"Since we are a military alliance, we have certain norms and treaties. Leaving technology out will be detrimental to both parties. Our military in Basra will not do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit ourselves." Vivian retorted, " There is a Chinese saying that military alliances are like grasshoppers on a rope. They harm your interests and our interests at the same time. What's more, we don't need Russia's most advanced weapons technology, just some conventional weapons technology. "
The Russian delegation started to discuss in whispers. In fact, the technology exports that Basra needs are not Russia's most advanced weapons technology, such as aircraft. What Basra wants is only the technology of third-generation fighter jets, and tanks, for example. It is only the technology of conventional main battle tanks currently in service, and does not involve Russia’s most advanced tank technology.
However, the Russian side is still worried that these technologies will flow out. This is the advantage of Russia's export of weapons. However, the reason for the deadlock in negotiations is that while Soryu insists on buying weapons, it also needs Russia to export technology, which means that Russia sells it to Basra. Weapons, along with the need to export corresponding technology to Basra,
Although this is a reasonable request, if it is for a military alliance, it is not reasonable. It is the same as falling in love between men and women. Since I am already your boyfriend, you will not still be with ordinary friends. Just keep your distance from me,
Moreover, when the United States exports weapons to its allies, it also comes with technology. However, the Americans do not export the best weapons, so they have always maintained the advantage of the most advanced weapons technology. For example, in terms of fighter jets, the United States sells various third-generation Fighters also export various technologies, but insist on not selling the technology and original aircraft of the F22 Raptor fighter.
So Canglong's request is actually not too much. You are already an ally with me, but you are still hiding it because you don't want to truly ally with me.
Of course, Russia has its own reasons for hiding it. After all, Canglong has a close relationship with China. Once Russia exports technology to Basra, China will definitely have it. This is what the Russians worry about. Although it is a strategic partnership with China, But it is not a military alliance after all. What if one day they fall out?
The negotiations were deadlocked here, and finally Ivanovich came up with a solution: "Since you ask us to export technology, shouldn't you also provide us with your most advanced technology?"
Hearing this, everyone in Basra looked at the Russian Deputy Minister of Defense with a strange look on his face. What technology do we have that is worthy of your spying?
When Vivian and Susu heard something, they looked at Canglong. At this time, Canglong had to face another problem. He knew that the Russians wanted the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier technology in his hands.
A year ago, the Black Sea Shipyard signed an agreement with Russia for a conventionally powered aircraft carrier. Now this aircraft carrier has taken shape thanks to the efforts of Ukrainian workers and will be launched soon. Based on the experience of the Russian Navy, this aircraft carrier will soon be launched. will form combat effectiveness, and it will be the most advanced conventionally powered aircraft carrier.
All countries are paying attention to this aircraft carrier at the Black Sea Shipyard, but because it was commissioned by Russia, most countries think that this aircraft carrier actually provides technical support from Russia.
But this is not the case. The Russians themselves know best, because they have been to the Black Sea Shipyard and obtained information about this aircraft carrier. To their surprise, this aircraft carrier was independently developed and manufactured, surpassing that of the Russian Navy. Any hull technology,
If it were not known that Soryu is the technology provider behind the Black Sea Shipyard, the Russian Navy might have thought that the Americans were helping them build the aircraft carrier, because this aircraft carrier is very similar to the conventionally powered aircraft carriers of the United States in every aspect. , the technology is absolutely top-notch,
From the engine, to the weapon system, to the blocking locks, these things are much more advanced than the Russian aircraft carrier currently in service, with a full load displacement of 80,000 tons. Only the American aircraft carrier in the world has a displacement of 80,000 tons.
Although Soryu had promised to consider giving them nuclear-powered aircraft carrier technology, this was the only real thing he had on hand, and he had to pay for it with his life. He almost died in the United States.
From a strategic point of view, if these technologies are given to Russia, China will fall behind. To be honest, Canglong does not want China to fall behind Russia in aircraft carrier technology, but even if it is given to China, I am afraid China will not immediately develop it. When a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier arrives, everything must be done step by step and come out all at once. Although it seems like a surprise, Canglong feels a little scared.
When the time comes, China will definitely not be able to afford the arms race, and from a selfish point of view, with these technologies, it can still compete with its superiors, although sooner or later it will give the technologies to China, [
After a few minutes of silence, everyone looked at him, but he was thinking nonchalantly. After another few minutes, he finally thought about it: "The technology can be transferred to you, but you must agree to the above conditions. Also, promise me a condition."
Ivanovic nodded: "As long as the conditions are not too excessive, we will definitely consider it."
"After the reunification of Iraq, I will transfer the aircraft carrier technology to you. At the same time, you must ensure that the aircraft carrier Peter the Great is stationed in Basra Port to coordinate the defense of Basra's territorial waters." Soryu smiled and said, "And help Basra train its navy."
Vivian was shocked, Badr and the others were also shocked. This is just one condition. There are three conditions in the sentence of contempt.
What did Nikolaev say? After getting familiar with Canglong, he knew that Canglong was like this. What was surprising was that Ivanovich also had too many expressions. Instead, he was thinking about it. Obviously, these conditions were bearable.
Within the scope, before this, the Russian military had planned to rent a port in Basra.
Although this is not the best port, as long as it is built, it will definitely become a good military port. The only thing worthy of their consideration is whether it is suitable to put the newly built aircraft carrier Peter the Great in the Port of Basra. You must know that the Americans
There is also an aircraft carrier here for strategic cruises,
But at the beginning of the negotiations, they had already prepared to confront the US military. The Russian military seemed happy to see them playing against the Americans again. In their view, this represented the strength of the Russian military.
However, due to political considerations, they are not very willing to offend the Russians to death, especially the other Canglong. They must wait until the Prophet Army unifies Iraq before they are willing to transfer nuclear-powered aircraft carrier technology to them. If Iraq has not been able to do so for ten years,
Not unified yet,
This is the question. Of course Ivanovich will not let Soryu write a bad check to him. He is not the neo-Nazi Alvin.
"I hope that under this premise, an acceptable time will be added so that we can go back to discuss with the president." Ivanovich agreed, but also vetoed. In fact, as deputy minister of defense, he has some real national strategies.
He also has the right to sign the agreement,
This meeting is just to discuss their respective conditions and bring them back for final comparison. It is like a speech. You always have to make a draft first. After the draft is finished, you have to go back to discuss it, and finally eliminate some and add them.
A few things, or some modifications, will be considered complete.
The same is true for military negotiations. You can just say it and it will be negotiated. Unless it is within a completely acceptable range, such as between a real military alliance, negotiations will be so troublesome because most of the agreements have already been signed.
"Five years, after five years, whether the Prophet Army will unify Iraq, the technology will be transferred to you as usual." Canglong said calmly,
Ivanovich nodded. Five years is an acceptable range. After all, this technology is very mature and does not need to be studied, just like the aircraft carrier named Peter the Great built by Russia at the Black Sea Shipyard.
Same, as long as the materials are in place, there is no difference from assembly.
The manufacturing of materials also has ready-made technologies. It is not as good as China's aircraft carrier. Because all technologies are available, you can only explore them yourself, or buy them from other countries, and then study them. Some technologies can be researched, and some technologies can be researched.
No matter how much time you have, it’s difficult to figure out, for example, motivation, which is still China’s biggest shortcoming.
Now that the main projects have been negotiated, the remaining minor ones will be much simpler, so this negotiation finally ended amidst twists and turns. Now we have to wait for the Russian President to make a decision.
