78: Chapter 78 should attract more countries to make purchases.
After Major General Zaha left, he returned directly to Zarzur instead of heading to Damascus.
Although he wanted to communicate with the high-level military officials of Syria as soon as possible to reach a consensus on the idea of oil leasing, what was more important now was to pay the deposit for this purchase of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile and get the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile as soon as possible.
No one knew whether the USA would immediately launch airstrikes against Syria because of the disastrous defeat at the Raqqa Military Base.
According to general convention, the USA likes to pick on the weakest targets.
Having suffered a crushing defeat at the Raqqa Military Base this time, they naturally wouldn't dare to easily target the military bases of Iran for airstrikes again, and Syria had become the best target for airstrikes.
Zarzur is located in the northeastern region of Syria, closest to the USA's garrison base, so the probability of being the first to be bombed by the USA is higher.
Major General Zaha possessed some "Sayyad" anti-aircraft missiles transferred by Iran, but the combat performance of this anti-aircraft missile was truly unsatisfactory.
Last time, when ambushing the oil-stealing troops of the USA, it took so many "Sayyad" anti-aircraft missiles to shoot down one Black Hawk Helicopter, whereas the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile could relatively easily shoot down a Black Hawk Helicopter with just one shot.
Therefore, the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile gave Major General Zaha more peace of mind.
Now, he needed to prepare the 16 million USD and 500,000 barrels of oil and pay them to Chaos Company as soon as possible, so that Chaos Company would deliver the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile to him.
After returning to Zarzur, Major General Zaha quickly followed the requirements of the arms trading contract and transferred the 16 million USD to Chaos Company's Swiss Bank account.
It took half a day to assemble the 500,000 barrels of oil, transporting them from various oil depots to the oil storage tanks on the River Island in the Euphrates River.
This was the only oil left in all of Zarzur, and after paying it to Chaos Company this time, all the oil to be used in the future would have to be newly extracted.
After Major General Zaha had handled the deposit matters, he immediately contacted Li Yi.
"Major General Zaha, are you ready to pay the 500,000 barrels of oil to us now?" Li Yi had already received the 16 million USD and knew that Major General Zaha was in a hurry to get the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile.
"Yes. You received the 16 million USD, right? Now the 500,000 barrels of oil are ready. When do you plan to transport them away?" Major General Zaha asked.
"I have received the 16 million USD. As for the 500,000 barrels of oil, let's transport them tonight. Where is the oil stored?"
"It's at the same oil storage tank on the River Island where Glass House paid us with oil before," Major General Zaha said quickly.
"Alright, I understand. Please withdraw all personnel as required." Li Yi had been to that River Island to collect oil several times and was quite familiar with it.
"I will withdraw the personnel. When will your side deliver the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile?"
"We will deliver it to you within five days, rest assured." Li Yi did not deliver the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile to Major General Zaha early just because he had paid the deposit so quickly.
"Good. I will wait for your news." Major General Zaha did not urge for an early delivery.
Li Yi thought for a moment; after collecting the oil from Zarzur tonight, he would simply deliver the first batch of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile purchased by Glass House at the same time.
He transferred 5.7 million USD from the Swiss Bank to Lieutenant Colonel Haidari's bank account. Now, only 10.3 million USD remained in the Swiss Bank; he planned to use this money for future intermediary fees and didn't need to worry about it for now.
Afterwards, Li Yi made a phone call to Lieutenant Colonel Haidari.
"Lieutenant Colonel Haidari, the intermediary fee for the Syria order of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile has been paid to you. Please check it."
"Really? That's great." Lieutenant Colonel Haidari did not expect to receive his first intermediary fee so quickly.
"Also, tonight we will deliver the first batch of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile to your side. Please arrange for troops to go and receive them." Li Yi continued.
"No problem. I will arrange for the troops to be ready." They had already discussed the general location for the handover previously, so Lieutenant Colonel Haidari just needed to wait for Li Yi to notify him of the specific coordinates.
After hanging up the phone, Lieutenant Colonel Haidari looked at the 5.7 million USD that had arrived in his account and was overjoyed. He was very satisfied that he had received so much money just by introducing Major General Zaha to purchase a batch of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile.
This amount of money was not particularly large for him, but since it was earned so easily by introducing a client, how could he not be happy?!
It seemed that if he immediately contacted all the military forces in the Persian Gulf region that he was familiar with and promoted the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile, more countries should be willing to purchase the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile, right?
After all, countries should already know the combat intelligence of the Raqqa Military Base and have a preliminary impression of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile, so if he went to persuade them to purchase, it would be easier to achieve.
Thinking of this, Lieutenant Colonel Haidari couldn't wait to contact them immediately, but what was more important now was to arrange for the officers and soldiers of Haibai and Shahba to prepare for receiving the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile tonight.
After having a good rest, Li Yi teleported from the presidential suite of the Riviera Hotel to the River Island in the Euphrates River in Zarzur around 12:00 AM via the Multiverse Arms Trading System.
Since the oil paid by Major General Zaha was not much, Li Yi checked the oil storage tanks and found that only two oil storage tanks were used.
Li Yi quickly used the "Collect" function of the Multiverse Arms Trading System. After selecting the collection range, he quickly clicked the "Collect" button to complete the oil collection work.
The quantity of oil collected this time was 500,082 barrels. Added to the oil collected at Abadan Port last time, the number now displayed by the Multiverse Arms Trading System was "Oil Storage Quantity: 1,550,288 barrels".
Seeing that the collection was completed, Li Yi immediately used the teleportation function of the Multiverse Arms Trading System to return to the presidential suite of the Riviera Hotel.
Since the recent international oil price was still at a relatively low level, Li Yi did not intend to sell the oil for system funds now.
Li Yi rested for a while, then teleported via the Multiverse Arms Trading System to a flat land southeast of Haibai and north of Shahba, not too far from the small village where the second delivery of anti-aircraft missiles took place.
Seeing that there was no one around, Li Yi immediately extracted the first batch of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile newly purchased by Glass House from the Multiverse Arms Trading System and arranged them neatly on the flat land.
The quantity delivered this time was larger than the previous delivery in this vicinity, so a large area of flat land was piled full of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile.
