68: Chapter 68 won't cause any trouble.
Regarding the arms trading contract, Li Yi and Major General Moss quickly reached an agreement.
After signing the contract, Major General Moss arranged for people to transfer 22.6 million USD to the account provided by Mannila.
After seeing that Mannila had received the funds, Li Yi promised Major General Moss that he would arrange for the delivery of all the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile purchased by Lebanon within three days, and that he would contact him before the delivery.
Major General Moss was relatively reassured. According to what he had learned from Mannila, Chaos Company had already made several deliveries to Glass House and was basically able to complete deliveries within the promised time.
Mannila assured him that Chaos Company would not delay delivery. If there was a delay, he told him to come directly to him, and he would find the arms dealer to have all the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile delivered as soon as possible.
Having taken the commission, Mannila naturally helped Li Yi reassure Lebanon.
Moreover, he believed that Chaos Company would not cause any trouble. The Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile previously delivered to Glass House and Jordan had not had any issues, so this delivery should not have any issues either.
After Li Yi left the Lebanese military base, he considered that he would soon be going to Iran to collect the first batch of 15 million barrels of oil paid by Glass House.
He decided to stay in Beirut for two days for the time being, and after collecting the oil paid by Glass House, he would then deliver the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile purchased by Lebanon.
Li Yi had been to Beirut several times, but had never had a proper chance to enjoy himself. Now that the opportunity was right, he might as well use this time to do some sightseeing.
As the largest fine seaport city on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean, Beirut possessed many exquisite architectural arts and magnificent natural scenery, and combined with its famous historical sites, it was a tourist destination frequented by many travelers.
Although Mannila was somewhat dissatisfied that Li Yi had not told him about the two newly launched models of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile, after receiving the 22.6 million USD commission, all his unhappiness was thrown to the back of his mind.
Mannila had spent some time traveling in Beirut and could be considered familiar with the city. Seeing that Li Yi intended to stay in Beirut for a few days, he immediately booked two presidential suites at the Beirut Riviera Hotel.
The Beirut Riviera Hotel was a luxury hotel located in the center of Beirut, situated right on the coast. It offered a view overlooking the Beirut waterfront and the Mediterranean Sea, allowing guests to have zero-distance contact with Beirut's crystal-clear seawater.
The hotel's facilities were also quite complete, not only providing a full-service SPA center, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, but also the ability to order Lebanese and international cuisine according to guest needs, and providing exclusive access to a private beach.
Li Yi felt quite satisfied after checking in and highly approved of Mannila's arrangements.
In the day and a half that followed, accompanied by Mannila, Li Yi visited historical sites such as the Temple of Baalbek, Beiteddine Palace, the Temple of Bacchus, and even experienced Beirut's bustling nightlife in the evening.
He almost forgot that he was an arms dealer, not a wandering prince of the nightlife.
While resting at the Beirut Riviera Hotel, Li Yi took the time to purchase all the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile purchased by Lebanon from the Multiverse Arms Trading System.
He placed an order for 200 sets of the Tianlei Type I Anti-Aircraft Missile, with 400 accompanying missiles, totaling only 22 million yuan.
He placed an order for 50 sets of the Tianlei Type II Anti-Aircraft Missile, with 150 accompanying missiles, totaling only 28 million yuan.
He placed an order for 30 sets of the Tianlei Type III Anti-Aircraft Missile, with 80 accompanying missiles, totaling only 39 million yuan.
He placed an order for 3 sets of the Tianlei Type IV Anti-Aircraft Missile, with 6 accompanying missiles, totaling only 5.4 million yuan.
He placed an order for 1 set of the Tianlei Type V Anti-Aircraft Missile, with 2 accompanying missiles, totaling only 3.05 million yuan.
Li Yi tallied up all the ordered missiles, which totaled only 97.45 million yuan.
After paying the 97.45 million yuan purchase funds, the remaining system funds in the Multiverse Arms Trading System became 270,217,733.9 yuan.
Li Yi would soon obtain 15 million barrels of oil from Iran, at which point the system funds of the Multiverse Arms Trading System should break the 10 billion yuan mark.
Li Yi used the Multiverse Arms Trading System to set the usage area for all the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile purchased by Lebanon to the entire territories of Lebanon and Israel, and after collecting the 15 million barrels of oil paid by Iran, he could proceed directly with the delivery.
Just as Li Yi was having so much fun that he forgot the time, Lieutenant Colonel Haidari contacted him.
After Lieutenant Colonel Haidari confirmed with Li Yi that the first batch of Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile could be delivered within three days after the payment of 15 million barrels of oil, he immediately started his little engine, harassing Colonel Suman three times a day, not letting him off in the morning, noon, or evening.
Colonel Suman was getting angry from Lieutenant Colonel Haidari's constant urging, but since this was an order issued by Commander-in-Chief Qasim, Colonel Suman could not lose his temper or act petulant to delay the collection of the 15 million barrels of oil.
Fortunately, Abadan Port had a relatively large stock of oil, so the collection was completed quickly. He also made arrangements according to Li Yi's requirements, clearing out an oil storage depot for the delivery of oil to Chaos Company.
With the 15 million barrels of oil collected and in place, Colonel Suman was finally no longer harassed by Lieutenant Colonel Haidari.
After receiving the news, Lieutenant Colonel Haidari immediately contacted Li Yi to pay the first batch of oil.
"Lieutenant Colonel Haidari, has the 15 million barrels of oil been collected?" Li Yi understood his intention as soon as he saw it was a call from Lieutenant Colonel Haidari.
"Yes, it has all been collected at an oil storage depot at Abadan Port, just waiting for your side to transport these 15 million barrels of oil away," Lieutenant Colonel Haidari said quickly.
"Okay, tell me the specific location, and at the same time, ensure that you follow our requirements to clear out the personnel around the oil storage depot tonight."
"No problem." Lieutenant Colonel Haidari already had the experience of paying for oil twice and guaranteed that there would be no mishaps. He then told Li Yi the detailed address and situation of the oil storage depot.
After listening, Li Yi looked at the map. The oil storage depot was located right next to the Arvand River that flowed through Abadan, situated on the riverbed at a bend in the river, with more than half of the oil storage depot surrounded by the river.
"After we transport the oil from the oil storage depot, I will contact you within three days for delivery, at which time you can arrange for personnel to receive it."
"Where is the location for the reception this time?" Lieutenant Colonel Haidari asked. Since the reception locations had been different for several consecutive times, he needed to prepare in advance and notify the receiving officers and soldiers.
"This time it is in the west of Haibai, not far from the location of the first delivery." Li Yi gave an approximate location.
"Good. I will arrange for officers and soldiers to arrive at the delivery location in time."
Li Yi did not waste any more words with Lieutenant Colonel Haidari and hung up the phone directly. He was still visiting the Temple of Bacchus and did not want to waste his sightseeing time.
