122: Chapter 122: This number exceeds my authority.

After General Faraj finished distributing and deploying the newly purchased armored vehicles, he immediately went to the Glass House to find Major General Rahim.

"General Faraj, is there something you need from our Glass House?" Major General Rahim asked, feeling a bit curious.

Although the Glass House was in Syria, it did not cooperate closely with the Syrian military; both operated independently.

"Major General Rahim, there is a matter. We intend to launch an offensive against the USA within the next two months, and we are currently gathering various weapons and equipment." General Faraj stated his purpose clearly.

"You want to attack the USA? You must know that the USA possesses quite a number of fighter jets and armored vehicles," Major General Rahim asked, very surprised.

"Yes. We will attack the USA soon. We have already collected a batch of armored vehicles and anti-aircraft missiles. Now, we have some gaps in terms of light weapons," General Faraj said affirmatively.

"I know you purchased a batch of Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles, but how did you manage to get armored vehicles? From Russia? They cannot possibly have any right now. Or do you have other channels?" Major General Rahim was still puzzled.

"It was purchased from Chaos Company," General Faraj had to say.

Arms dealers would likely also try to sell armored vehicles to the Glass House, so it wouldn't be possible to hide it then, nor was there any need to.

"I see," Major General Rahim suddenly understood.

If it was provided by an arms dealer, then it was understandable. It was just surprising that Chaos Company was selling armored vehicles and he didn't know about it. It seemed he would need to ask Lieutenant Colonel Haidari about it properly.

"Our Syrian military's armored vehicles will be fully equipped within the next two months; all that's missing is light weapons. I wonder if the Glass House could advocate to Iran and help Syria obtain a batch of firearms and ammunition?"

"As for light weapons, Iran does have them. But how many light weapons do you need?" Major General Rahim asked.

Iran might lack production capacity for heavy equipment, and their combat performance might be slightly inferior, but in terms of light weapons, they had always been quite accomplished. They could produce various models of firearms and ammunition and had many customers in the Persian Gulf region purchasing them.

"We need 50,000 various rifles and machine guns, 200 million rounds of various ammunition, as well as a quantity of individual equipment such as helmets and bulletproof vests." General Faraj reported a quantity of light weapons that Iran might barely be able to accept.

"This scale is a bit large. If it were a few thousand guns and a few million rounds of ammunition, I could allocate them to you right now. But this quantity exceeds my authority," Major General Rahim said after considering it.

"We really need that many light weapons to launch our offensive against the USA. Could you report this to the Persian Lion State National Guard and see what their opinion is?" General Faraj suggested.

The military enterprises controlled by the Persian Lion State National Guard should have no problem producing that many light weapons. It was just a matter of whether they would provide aid to Syria.

"I can report to the Persian Lion State National Guard, but I cannot guarantee that it will be successful," Major General Rahim had to say.

"As long as Iran provides a batch of light weapons, our chances of success in attacking the USA will be even greater," General Faraj complimented.

Major General Rahim didn't believe him and asked, "Have you really considered attacking the USA?"

"Yes. As long as the armored vehicles arrive within two months, we will launch the offensive immediately after our Syrian troops complete their training," General Faraj said very affirmatively.

It was possible to attack the USA, as long as the USA's fighter jets were restricted and not allowed to bomb at will. Now that Syria had purchased a batch of Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles, they could directly deter the USA's fighter jets.

Coupled with the fact that Syria had purchased a batch of armored vehicles, there was indeed room to maneuver if they really attacked areas controlled by the USA.

Major General Rahim did not ask any more questions; he estimated that General Faraj only had this idea, and it would take some time before it was actually implemented.

As for the light weapons needed by the Syrian military, Major General Rahim would report to the Persian Lion State National Guard. But now, Major General Rahim was more concerned about another matter.

"Lieutenant Colonel Haidari, are you aware that Chaos Company has newly sold a batch of armored vehicles to the Syrian military?" Major General Rahim asked.

Lieutenant Colonel Haidari looked blank and said, "I don't know about that."

"Has the arms dealer tried to sell you any armored vehicles? Do you know anything about the combat performance of these armored vehicles?"

"I haven't been in contact with the arms dealer recently, and the arms dealer hasn't sent me any information," Lieutenant Colonel Haidari said honestly.

"Contact the arms dealer immediately. If the armored vehicles have excellent combat performance, we will also purchase a batch to equip ourselves," Major General Rahim ordered.

"Yes, Major General," Lieutenant Colonel Haidari had to accept the order.

Lieutenant Colonel Haidari soon contacted Li Yi, who was currently enjoying Turkish barbecue in the presidential suite.

"Lieutenant Colonel Haidari, is there anything?" Li Yi asked.

"I heard you recently sold a batch of armored vehicles to Syria. Is that true?" Lieutenant Colonel Haidari asked cautiously.

"Yes, we did," Li Yi answered straightforwardly.

"Can you send me the information on the armored vehicles? The Glass House also has a need to purchase armored vehicles."

"Sure. There are three types and six models of armored vehicles in total, including the Fierce Rhino series Tank, the Fierce Tiger series Armored Vehicle, and the Fierce Lion series Artillery," Li Yi introduced simply.

"We will decide whether to purchase after we have reviewed them," Lieutenant Colonel Haidari said.

"Alright. You can contact me if you need anything."

Just as Li Yi was about to hang up the phone, Lieutenant Colonel Haidari asked, "You have already received the first batch of oil and natural gas paid by Syria, right? When can my commission be paid?"

Li Yi only then remembered that he had previously told Lieutenant Colonel Haidari that he would pay him a commission of 100 million USD after receiving the first batch of oil and natural gas paid by Syria.

"No need to rush. I will pay you immediately."

"Please pay as soon as possible," Lieutenant Colonel Haidari mentioned, not pressing further.

After hanging up the phone, Li Yi decided to keep his promise and pay Lieutenant Colonel Haidari 100 million USD.

He checked his Swiss Bank account and found exactly 100 million USD, which he transferred directly to Lieutenant Colonel Haidari's account via the Swiss Bank.

After the payment, only 5.3 million USD remained in the Swiss Bank account.

The 394.25 million USD that Saudi Arabia needed to pay had not yet been paid.

It seemed he would need to urge Major General Faye to pay this money next time.

Otherwise, Li Yi would not have the funds to pay Lieutenant Colonel Haidari's commission.

Li Yi also remembered at this moment that Major General Faye had also failed to pay the 5 million barrels of oil that should have been paid in the first batch for the purchase of fighter jets and warships; this also needed to be reminded to him to pay together next time.
