.50,000 to 100,000! Hearing this, Reuter became even more moved. You should know that the current Mercedes-Benz ng-80 series heavy trucks have an annual output of only 50,000 vehicles, which is the largest. Steyr has only a mere 5,000 vehicles in production and sales throughout the year. If he gained the Middle East market, Steyr will grow into a giant, which has further strengthened his determination to import Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks into the Iraqi market.

"Old Kusai, we can do what Steyr can do," said Reutt: "Our company will also export a complete set of production equipment and technology to Iraq, which will help Iraq finally fully produce our Mercedes-Benz ng-80 series heavy trucks. We will also update your production line with our latest production technology at the same time." Reutt said that such an output method is something Mercedes-Benz knows that it must be. It is completely impossible for only exporting complete vehicles to Iraq.

"At the same time, if your metal smelting capacity is not up to the level, we can also export metal smelting equipment to you. You should know that the gearbox and rear axle gear of the car require complex processing technology and advanced smelting equipment to withstand the powerful impact from the engine and chassis."

Of course, Kusai knew that in later generations, China Iron Horse Automobile was imitated by Mercedes-Benz cars. The gears of the complex wheel-side reducer cannot be imitated because the metal cannot reach its strength. After loading and using it, the original ones can be used for ten or eight years and will not be broken. If you produce them yourself, you will be done in two trips.

The output production line must be fully self-produced by Iraq, and the automobile industry is not a key project in national defense. If it were the smelting technology of the Leopard 2 tank's gun barrel, the Germans would never have exported it.

Speaking of this, Kusai is actually already tempted. However, until now, Mercedes-Benz has not relaxed and said that it has lowered its price, Kusai is still not satisfied.

"What you said... Steyr has done all of it. They have also completed the research and development of the 16-ton rear axle. Do you think it is necessary for us to repeatedly introduce a completely identical project?" Kusai asked.

Then wouldn't you just cancel the agreement with Steyr? Lloyd thought to himself.

"Quality from Germany is always the best, I fully admit that, but in an ordinary truck, we do not need to use the best products. Even for military logistics transportation, we need to consider the cost of use." Kusai said.

After Kusai said that he was about to return from the venue to the car he was riding in when he came. It was also a Mercedes-Benz bulletproof sedan.

After talking for a long time, but still failing, Reuter finally made up his mind. His Excellency Kusai said for a long time. He still felt that his car was high and had lost to Steyr in China's projects. Mercedes-Benz must not make the same mistake again in the Middle East projects! He must seize the Middle East market, which will be one of the main sales growth points for the company in the future. Even if he achieved self-produced in Iraq in the later stage, the company can still make profits from Iraq through continuous upgrading of technology.

Isn’t Iraq just accusing it of high price?

"His Excellency Kusai, if you are willing to introduce our ng-80 series heavy trucks, we are willing to reduce the price of 30%. This means that in any country in Europe, there has been no such preferential export. If you do not have enough funds to introduce the production line, we are willing to provide you with a loan through the German bank. We can sign a memorandum that the Mercedes-Benz ng-80 series trucks on your production line will be upgraded simultaneously with our German company's products." Lloyt said, he didn't believe it, and he could not compete with a second-rate company in Europe!

Although it has been reduced by 30%, they can still make a good profit because the demand in Iraq is very large.

Kusai was delighted. When did the German Mercedes-Benz Motor Company have such an attitude? I'm afraid there has never been one in later generations. However, if he agreed like this, it would not be Kusai Abdullah of Iraq.

"Your statement is very interesting to me, but you still haven't given me enough reason. Why do we, Iraq, have two same heavy truck production lines at the same time?" Kusai said.

Does this amazing Kusai still think that his asking price is high? Do you have to have the same price as Steyr? In that case, Mercedes-Benz will not even be able to recover the cost! Lloyt suddenly felt that it seemed like a mistake to come here this time.

The hot face was pressed against the cold butt. The technicians from the German company were very depressed when they heard the translated words. Could it be that they really couldn't squeeze in the huge cake of the Middle East?

At this time, Yu'anli, who was studying the ordnance, finally said something and saved their project.

"His Excellency Kusai, our German Mercedes-Benz cars have excellent performance. They have high transportation efficiency during military transportation, especially on the front-line emergency transportation. What's more important is that in your army, although they can produce the -72 series main battle tanks themselves, they lack corresponding infantry fighting vehicles to match them. In armored forces, main battle tanks are of course important, and an infantry fighting vehicle that can fight with the main battle tank is also very important." Yu'anli said.

Halfway through hearing Kusai, he knew what Juanli was saying. He actually coincided with his own ideas. If he kept this person in Iraq, he would definitely make greater contributions to Iraq's army equipment! Kusai actually felt that he loved talent, and the other party was not an Arab.

"Although the infantry fighting vehicles are mainly tracked, wheeled infantry fighting vehicles also have great advantages, especially with the development of technology, the 6*6, or even 8*8 wheeled infantry fighting vehicles are completely comparable to those of the tracked ones in off-road performance. On the road, they have faster speeds and less fuel consumption than tracked ones, which are completely suitable for a large number of equipment. We estimate that in the next twenty years, wheeled infantry fighting vehicles will become the main infantry fighting vehicles, and tracked ones will take a secondary position." Yu'anli continued.

Of course I know all of these. Kusai looked at Yu'anli, who became more and more passionate when talking in front of him. Kusai from later generations had innate advantages, and Yu'anli could also point out so clearly that wheeled infantry fighting vehicles will occupy the dominant position in the future. This vision is rare.

Luo Yit looked at Yu'anli who was talking nonstop, and felt that he had really found the wrong person this time. Yu'anli's statement seemed to have really touched His Excellency Kusai.

"Old Kusai, the chassis produced by Mercedes-Benz is excellent in performance and strong off-road performance. After introducing the Mercedes-Benz ng-80 series heavy trucks, you can develop a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle suitable for you on this basis. Compared with the crawler infantry fighting vehicle, the wheeled one is more economical and suitable for a large number of equipment for the troops." Yu'anli said for a long time and finally talked about the key points he wanted to express.

After saying that, all the people from Germany looked at Lord Kusai who was about to leave. Although they did not understand Arabic and had to wait for the translation, they also hoped to see from Lord Kusai's face whether he could make a decision.

"In addition, you have introduced our ng-80 series heavy trucks, which can also form a highland matching with the heavy trucks introduced from Steyer Company. Steyer's products can be used in civil and less important logistics departments. In key departments, our Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks are more suitable for your needs. It is completely feasible to develop a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle suitable for the Middle East terrain on our mature chassis. We are willing to send technicians to help you develop this product." This is the last opportunity. Since Luo Yit knows that the introduction of Steyer in Iraq cannot change, let's put it another way.

"Okay, I agree in principle that specific matters need to be discussed in detail with Minister Mohamed, who is about to come back." Kusai said.

Hearing the translated words, a happy smile appeared on the Germans' faces, and they succeeded! They seemed to have seen the heavy truck of the Mercedes-Benz logo galloping throughout the Middle East.

Such preferential conditions were never expected by Kusai. Moreover, the modification of the wheeled infantry fighting vehicle on the mature off-road chassis of Mercedes-Benz's military 6*6 and 8*8 is a decisive event for the development of Iraq's army. If it is a few months later, Kusai might have to send a delegation to Western Europe to inspect their wheeled infantry fighting vehicle and choose a suitable one. However, at that time, the price will definitely be the result of being slaughtered. Developed with German technicians will greatly promote the technical level of Iraq's military vehicle technicians, which is very beneficial.

………

Due to intelligence errors in Iraq some time ago, the CIA was criticized by the president. Now, the CIA has divided some energy to pay attention to the situation in the Middle East.

In the past few days, they discovered that the Soviet army had abnormally mobilized on the border between Iran and the Soviet Union and Afghanistan. Judging from the discovery of the reconnaissance satellites, at least two armored divisions were gathering towards the Iranian border. They immediately paid close attention and reported to the top leaders of the United States.

After careful analysis by the senior US leaders, they finally found that this was a harbinger of the Soviet Union's attempt to invade Iran on a large scale! The Soviet Union's appetite is really great. Invading Afghanistan is not counted, but still trying to invade Iran? The Soviet Union's conspiracy must not succeed! While paying close attention, the United States decided to notify Iran's current new government of this situation and also notify the Iraqi authorities.
