61: Chapter 61: Providing 15 million barrels of oil in two days

"Now that we have suffered losses of our Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile, we must replenish them immediately. Contact Colonel Suman as soon as possible, have the first batch of oil prepared for payment to Chaos Company, and urge Chaos Company to deliver our newly purchased first batch of Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile in a timely manner."

Major General Rahim stated the purpose of calling Lieutenant Colonel Haidari over all at once. In a nutshell: get to work and keep an eye on the progress for me!

"But I just finished negotiations with Chaos Company; I estimate it will still take some time for them to deliver, right?" Lieutenant Colonel Haidari, fearing he wouldn't be able to complete the task, looked for an excuse first.

Major General Rahim knew that arms dealers wouldn't deliver that quickly; if they delivered immediately after signing an arms deal contract, did one think it was selling slow-moving products that could be provided at any time when no one was buying? However, Glass House was indeed in urgent need of replenishing the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile, so he had no choice but to pressure Lieutenant Colonel Haidari to get to work.

"You pay the first batch of oil to Chaos Company first, and then keep a death grip on them to ensure delivery. I don't care when they deliver, but I need to see the first batch of Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile as soon as possible."

"Yes, Major General." Lieutenant Colonel Haidari bit the bullet and agreed. He didn't know if Li Yi would be able to complete the delivery quickly; otherwise, he would be hounded by Major General Rahim for the foreseeable future.

"Raqqa Military Base suffered significant losses in this USA airstrike. Communicate with Major Jafari to see what supplements Raqqa Military Base needs and how to arrange them, so that Raqqa Military Base can restore its combat capability as soon as possible to cope with potential retaliatory actions from the USA."

Considering that Raqqa Military Base had been bombed, most of its buildings destroyed, and there were significant casualties among personnel, Major General Rahim realized it was the time when Glass House needed to provide help, so he gave Lieutenant Colonel Haidari another order.

"I will contact Major Jafari to ensure that Raqqa Military Base is running normally." Lieutenant Colonel Haidari was well-versed in such tasks and raised no objections.

Seeing that Major General Rahim had nothing more to say, Lieutenant Colonel Haidari quickly left his office, fearing that if he waited any longer, other matters would crop up.

Glass House now needed to dispatch a new unit equipped with Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile to Raqqa Military Base.

After considering it, Lieutenant Colonel Haidari contacted a unit that had just finished re-equipping and ordered the company commander to immediately take the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile and rush to Raqqa Military Base.

As for the unit that returned for rest, although it lost two sets of Tianlei Type III Anti-Aircraft Missile and three sets of Tianlei Type II Anti-Aircraft Missile, the loss was still within the controllable range.

As long as the missiles for the remaining three sets of Tianlei Type III Anti-Aircraft Missile and two sets of Tianlei Type II Anti-Aircraft Missile were reconfigured and fully equipped, they would still possess a certain level of combat capability and would not affect Glass House's air defense operations.

After making the arrangements, Lieutenant Colonel Haidari immediately contacted Major Jafari.

"Major Jafari, the unit that Major General Rahim arranged to be redeployed to Raqqa Military Base has been notified to depart."

"Really? That's great! I was just worrying that Raqqa Military Base had no air defense weapons left; I didn't expect Lieutenant Colonel Haidari to help me solve such a big problem."

Major Jafari was quite happy that Lieutenant Colonel Haidari had arranged for air defense missile unit support so quickly.

"You should prepare for coordinated air defense operations by then." After giving a word of caution, Lieutenant Colonel Haidari continued, "Raqqa Military Base suffered quite heavy losses in this USA airstrike, didn't it? You should calculate the losses as soon as possible and see what supplements Raqqa Military Base needs; you can also tell me. I will arrange for supplements for you as appropriate."

Major Jafari did not expect Glass House to compensate for all the losses of Raqqa Military Base, understanding that a portion of the losses would need to be borne by Raqqa Military Base itself, but he was very willing to receive more compensation.

"Understood, Lieutenant Colonel. I will report the detailed situation of Raqqa Military Base's losses to you as soon as possible, and I hope we can be replenished with the lost weapons, equipment, and personnel by then."

"No problem. Raqqa Military Base achieved such great results this time; Glass House will not forget your contributions. We will replenish the weapons, equipment, and personnel you need as soon as possible."

Lieutenant Colonel Haidari gave Major Jafari a promise, although this promise was a bit vague.

Major Jafari quickly thanked him, "Thank you for your care, Lieutenant Colonel Haidari. We will achieve even greater results in the future."

Lieutenant Colonel Haidari did not continue chatting with Major Jafari. He had many things to do now, and handling them cleanly was the priority.

As the person in charge of the Persian Lion State National Guard at Abadan Port, although Colonel Suman was only responsible for matters concerning the National Guard, he could still influence or even determine some affairs of Abadan Port.

The oil company at Abadan Port, as an asset of the Persian Lion State National Guard, was also under the supervision of Colonel Suman.

After getting through to Colonel Suman's phone, Lieutenant Colonel Haidari quickly said enthusiastically, "Colonel Suman, I am Lieutenant Colonel Haidari, the deputy of Major General Rahim of Glass House. We met last year when Major General Rahim went to the Persian Lion State National Guard headquarters to report on work."

"Ah, Lieutenant Colonel Haidari, I was just wondering when to contact you." Colonel Suman had already received the order from Commander-in-Chief Qasim to provide Glass House with a batch of no more than 50 million barrels of oil, and the person responsible for providing the oil was Colonel Suman.

"It's about the oil, right? I was delayed by some matters on my end and didn't contact you in time, my apologies." Lieutenant Colonel Haidari apologized.

He knew from Major General Rahim that the Persian Lion State National Guard had provided 50 million barrels of oil and that he needed to contact Colonel Suman to finalize it, but because he had gone to negotiate with Chaos Company, he hadn't contacted Colonel Suman yet.

"When do you need the oil? If you need it, just contact me." Colonel Suman did not mind and asked.

"We need to pay 15 million barrels of oil for our first batch. I wonder when Colonel Suman can help arrange to have it in place?"

"15 million barrels of oil?" Colonel Suman repeated, thought about the oil inventory situation at Abadan Port, and said, "If we are only providing 15 million barrels of oil now, it can all be mobilized within two days."

Abadan Port was originally a major oil-producing area, and the amount of oil in stock was relatively large. If they only needed to provide 15 million barrels, there was absolutely no need to arrange for additional production; just using the existing inventory was more than enough.

"I see. That's great. You just need to arrange to have the 15 million barrels of oil loaded into the oil tank storage." Lieutenant Colonel Haidari told Colonel Suman some of the requirements Li Yi had given him for the oil delivery, and then continued, "The arms dealer will arrange the transportation themselves, so we don't need to take on the task of oil transportation."

"Understood. I will contact you once I have mobilized the 15 million barrels of oil." Colonel Suman said straightforwardly.

Seeing that he could pay the oil to Chaos Company in two days, Lieutenant Colonel Haidari felt that he was one step closer to completing the task assigned by Major General Rahim.
