129: Chapter 129 has little potential left to explore.

Seeing that Iran's procurement plan was finalized, Li Yi asked, "What is the specific payment schedule for the 750 million barrels of oil and 50 billion cubic meters of natural gas you are paying?"

Based on Commander-in-Chief Qasim's plan for raising the 750 million barrels of oil, Colonel Suman said, "We will pay 350 million barrels of oil within one month, 200 million barrels of oil and 10 billion cubic meters of natural gas within two months, and after that, for four months, we will pay 50 million barrels of oil and 10 billion cubic meters of natural gas each month."

Li Yi saw that he could obtain 550 million barrels of oil within two months and felt there was no issue, so he said, "We will deliver the weapons and equipment you purchased in three batches. The first batch will be delivered within one month, the second batch within two months, and all will be delivered by the third month. Do you have any requirements for the weapons and equipment delivered in each batch?"

"Deliver the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile and Sky Dragon Mark I UAV in the first batch, half of the armored vehicles and the Sky Arrow anti-tank missiles in the second batch, and just deliver the remaining weapons and equipment in the third batch."

Considering that Commander-in-Chief Qasim required the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile to be delivered in the first batch, Colonel Suman placed the delivery of armored vehicles in the second and third batches.

Regardless, it was only a month's difference, so it wouldn't have much impact.

After listening, Li Yi had no objections and asked, "Will the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile all be used in Iran?"

"Yes. Are there any restrictions on the area of use for the armored vehicles? We have a batch of armored vehicles that will be used in Syria," Colonel Suman asked.

"The Tianlong Series UAV, Fierce Rhino series Tank, Fierce Tiger series Armored Vehicle, Fierce Lion series Artillery, and other weapons and equipment will have an area of use that includes the entire Persian Gulf region. There is absolutely no problem with you using them in Iran and Syria."

Li Yi continued, "The Sky Arrow anti-tank missiles will have restrictions on their area of use. Are they all to be used in Iran?"

Colonel Suman had originally thought that all armored vehicles could be used in the Persian Gulf region and that the anti-tank missiles should also be used in the Persian Gulf region, but he had not expected that the Sky Arrow anti-tank missiles would have further restrictions on their area of use.

Colonel Suman discussed it with Major General Rahim and said, "500 sets of Tianjian Type I Anti-Tank Missile, with 1,500 supporting missiles; 300 sets of Tianjian Type II Anti-Tank Missile, with 1,000 supporting missiles. These anti-tank missiles will be used in Syria and Israel, and the other anti-tank missiles will be used in Iran."

Major General Rahim was quite satisfied with the Glass House obtaining so many anti-tank missiles; this many anti-tank missiles were enough to equip all the troops of the Glass House.

After Li Yi recorded it, the arms trade negotiations were basically coming to an end.

After both parties confirmed the terms of the arms trade contract, Li Yi and Colonel Suman soon signed the arms trade contract.

This arms trade contract, worth more than 60 billion US dollars, was now effective.

Li Yi was quite happy about this order worth more than 60 billion US dollars.

Now that Iran and Syria had both purchased large quantities of armored vehicles, UAVs, and anti-aircraft missiles, it was unlikely that he could continue to promote ground equipment to them in the short term.

It seemed that in the future, he would need to promote fighter jets and warships to Iran to get large orders.

However, Iran had already used so much oil and natural gas that, given Iran's production volume, the potential that could be exploited was no longer significant.

He wondered what other mineral resources Iran could offer to purchase fighter jets and warships.

After the negotiations ended, Colonel Suman quickly contacted Commander-in-Chief Qasim.

"Commander-in-Chief Qasim, my negotiations with the arms dealer have ended, and we have signed the arms trade contract," Colonel Suman reported the results as soon as he got through.

Upon hearing that the arms trade contract had been signed, Commander-in-Chief Qasim asked, "Is the procurement funding sufficient? Did you purchase all the weapons and equipment on the procurement list I gave you?"

"The total value of 750 million barrels of oil and 50 billion cubic meters of natural gas is 62.587 billion US dollars, while the weapons and equipment on the procurement list you gave me only cost 58.4 billion US dollars. Therefore, there were surplus procurement funds, and I used this extra procurement funding to purchase Sky Arrow anti-tank missiles and supporting missiles for the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile," Colonel Suman said truthfully.

Hearing that the oil and natural gas provided by Iran this time were worth 62.587 billion US dollars, Commander-in-Chief Qasim felt relieved; he had originally thought the procurement funds would not be enough.

It seemed there was no need to increase the supply of energy minerals, nor was there a need to reduce the procurement of weapons and equipment.

"How did the arms dealer arrange the delivery this time?" Commander-in-Chief Qasim asked.

"The arms dealer is delivering in three batches. The first batch will mainly deliver the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile and Sky Dragon Mark I UAV within one month. The second and third batches will be delivered in the second and third months respectively, and the armored vehicles and other weapons and equipment will be split evenly between these two batches."

Delivery in three months—Commander-in-Chief Qasim was very satisfied with this.

Three months was not a long time, and Iran was not in a rush to use these armored vehicles, so he had no objections.

"You follow up on the payment of oil and natural gas, and follow up on the arms dealer's delivery of weapons and equipment," Commander-in-Chief Qasim ordered.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!" Colonel Suman replied.

Seeing that Colonel Suman had already contacted Commander-in-Chief Qasim, Major General Rahim took the opportunity to go up and ask, "Can the UAVs and armored vehicles allocated to the Glass House be assigned to us, the Glass House, after the first and second batches of weapons and equipment are delivered?"

Considering that the Glass House was facing the war in Syria, Colonel Suman said, "No problem. Wait for me to communicate with the arms dealer to arrange for the weapons and equipment delivered to the Glass House to be delivered in Syria."

"Thank you for the arrangement, Colonel Suman." Major General Rahim was very happy; he would be able to obtain another large batch of weapons and equipment within two months.

Colonel Suman quickly found Li Yi and said, "Our Iran will have a batch of weapons and equipment allocated to the Glass House. Can you arrange for the Glass House's weapons and equipment to be delivered in Syria?"

Li Yi did not refuse and asked, "Sure. Which weapons and equipment need to be delivered in Syria?"

Colonel Suman quickly gave Li Yi a delivery list of weapons and equipment for the Glass House, adding the Sky Arrow anti-tank missiles negotiated this time to the basis of the Glass House's weapons and equipment requirements discussed with Major General Rahim last time.

Li Yi quickly agreed and said, "We will deliver according to your requirements at that time; just be ready to receive them."
