39: Chapter 39 Encountering an Unexpected Situation

How much is 1.5 tons of gold?

This was the first time Li Yi had seen such a large amount of gold piled up in front of him.

Looking at the gold laid out before him, Li Yi's eyes reflected a golden luster.

Major General Dula had no intention of delaying payment; after making arrangements with Li Yi, he immediately sent people to escort the gold to the Four Seasons Hotel.

Li Yi directly instructed Major General Dula to have the gold moved into the suite.

Although 1.5 tons of gold sounds like a lot, its actual volume is not large, and it did not take up much space.

After Major General Dula saw that the gold had been handed over to Li Yi, he immediately transferred 5.25 million USD to Mannila's account.

Subsequently, after obtaining the Green Lotus Company account provided by Li Yi, he also paid the 407.32 million RMB.

By the time all payments were completed and received, an hour had passed.

Major General Dula was in a hurry to leave, and Li Yi did not try to keep him.

Before leaving, he asked Li Yi, "Do you need me to send people to help you transport this batch of gold?"

Li Yi shook his head and refused, "No need, I have already arranged for people to transport it."

"Then let's look forward to our next cooperation."

Li Yi waved goodbye to Major General Dula, and Li Yi was left alone in the suite.

Looking at the piled-up gold, Li Yi felt it was unsafe, so he immediately collected it through the Multiverse Arms Trading System, temporarily storing it there to be withdrawn and sold later.

As for the funds of the Green Lotus Company in Hengfeng Bank, Li Yi also immediately transferred them to the Multiverse Arms Trading System.

After all, Li Yi felt that keeping such a large sum of money in a bank account was not very safe.

After the transfer was completed, the balance of the Multiverse Arms Trading System became 315,626,733.9 RMB, and the system funds increased significantly.

After handling these matters, all of Li Yi's business in Amman was concluded.

He greeted Mannila and decided to leave Amman tonight; after delivering the third batch of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile to Iran, he would return to Pengcheng.

Li Yi contacted Lieutenant Colonel Haidari in advance, "Lieutenant Colonel Haidari, the third batch of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile is ready. The location for this delivery will be somewhere between Haibai and Daraa."

"Between Haibai and Daraa? That works." Lieutenant Colonel Haidari had not expected that the location for each delivery of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile would be different, but as long as it was in an area controlled by Syria, there would be no problem.

"After we deliver the third batch of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile this time, everything will have been delivered within one month. According to the supplementary agreement we signed, if delivered within one month, you will pay an additional 10% of the payment. Is that a problem?"

Li Yi brought up the previously signed supplementary agreement. At that time, Lieutenant Colonel Haidari was anxious to have the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile delivered and had agreed to compensation for early delivery.

"That is not a problem. It is just that we may pay with oil reserves in Iran; can your side travel to Iran to receive the oil?"

Lieutenant Colonel Haidari did not deny the additional compensation, he only hoped to change the location of the payment.

"As long as your side makes arrangements in the same way as the previous oil delivery and it does not affect our receipt of the oil, we can go to Iran to receive the oil."

Li Yi was not worried about any accidents during the oil receiving process; as long as an unfavorable situation arose, he could directly teleport away using the Multiverse Arms Trading System, it would just cost an extra teleportation fee.

"Good. Once we have gathered the remaining 4.4135 million barrels of oil that need to be paid, I will contact you to inform you of the specific delivery location."

"I will wait for your news."

Li Yi hung up the phone with Lieutenant Colonel Haidari. After delivering the third batch of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile tonight, his first arms deal with Iran would be considered complete.

He wondered if Iran would place new arms orders in the future. Li Yi guessed that it was highly likely, he just didn't know how large the orders would be.

Around 1:00 AM, Li Yi directly teleported to the valley between Haibai and Daraa using the Multiverse Arms Trading System.

The valley was not large, and not far away was a stretch of sandy land.

Just as Li Yi was checking the environment and preparing to extract the missiles and place them on the flat ground of the valley, the faint sound of a fighter jet's sonic boom reached him.

"Syria's fighter jet? Iran's fighter jet?"

Li Yi guessed, but quickly dismissed the speculation. Although this was an area controlled by Syria, neither Syria's nor Iran's fighter jets would be flying in the middle of the night.

It was also unlikely to be a Russian fighter jet. Most of Russia's fighter jets had been withdrawn from Syria, and the remaining ones did not have high combat performance and would not be patrolling late at night.

Li Yi could only guess that it was an Israeli fighter jet. He did not expect Israel to be so arrogant, thinking that there would be no anti-aircraft missiles targeting it at night.

Seeing that his delivery of the third batch of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile was being affected, Li Yi didn't say a word and decided to shoot down this fighter jet first.

It just so happened that the Multiverse Arms Trading System had unlocked a new model of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile, so he would use this fighter jet as a test.

Li Yi immediately purchased a set of Tianlei Type V Anti-Aircraft Missile from the Multiverse Arms Trading System.

Since the Multiverse Arms Trading System allowed him to purchase a trial model of a weapon for 100,000 RMB, Li Yi only spent 100,000 RMB to obtain a set of Tianlei Type V Anti-Aircraft Missile.

The Tianlei Type V Anti-Aircraft Missile has an operational range of 120 kilometers, so it would be completely capable of attacking the incoming Israeli fighter jet.

Li Yi immediately deployed the various launching equipment of the Tianlei Type V Anti-Aircraft Missile and activated the ground-based radar detection.

Soon, red alarm information appeared on the ground-based radar.

"Warning! Warning! An enemy aircraft has been detected entering the ground-based radar detection area. Please respond in time!"

The enemy aircraft displayed on the radar was flying from the southwest of Syria towards Damascus.

Li Yi pulled up the analysis data of the enemy aircraft, and in less than ten seconds, all the information about the enemy aircraft appeared before his eyes.

"Detected enemy aircraft is an F-16 Fighter Jet. The F-16 Fighter Jet is a jet-powered multi-role fighter, also known as the Fighting Falcon. It has excellent flight performance, emphasizing mid-to-low altitude transonic maneuverability and long-range combat capabilities. It possesses advanced avionics, excellent all-weather combat capabilities, and also features outstanding air-to-air combat capabilities and good ground-attack capabilities."

"Length 15.1 meters, height 5.1 meters, wingspan 9.45 meters, empty weight 8,500 kilograms, maximum takeoff weight 20,000 kilograms, payload 8,000 kilograms, maximum flight speed 2,100 km/h, service ceiling 15,500 meters, range 4,000 kilometers."

"Current flight altitude is 14,500 meters, flight speed is 1,200 km/h, estimated time to reach the effective operational range of the Tianlei Type V Anti-Aircraft Missile is 2 minutes and 36 seconds."
