Super military empire

"65 million U.S. dollars, but conventional weapons have to be sold in bundles. Fighters, tanks, long-range artillery, helicopters, rocket launchers, etc...." When sitting together again for negotiations, Liu Yijiu took the initiative to take the price directly from what he had insisted on. The 68 million U.S. dollars was directly reduced to 65 million U.S. dollars.

There were no other conditions, but now they are increasing.

Sixty two kicks, one 65 million, the total value reached 3.9 billion U.S. dollars, which far exceeded the expectations of the military and the government. Moreover, the price negotiation here is 400 million. The loosening of the dollar.

Although the other party does not care about money, 400 million US dollars is not a small amount of money.

Especially when the current international crude oil is only more than ten dollars a barrel.400 million US dollars, that would cost more than 20 million barrels of crude oil!

If possible, perhaps Saudi Arabia will pay directly with crude oil.

"Director Liu, I don't know how much money you will need for the conventional weapons bundled for sale!" When Prince Bandar heard Liu Yijiu's price loosening, he could not help but let out a sigh.

If they really follow the two kicks of 70 million U.S. dollars each, the total value of the more than forty coins they need in their own country is not too high. The problem is that he has reached an agreement with Alexei, and that agreement has to go through. The king’s approval, if the king disagrees, they will have to negotiate the price of 45 two-kicks with China.

The Chinese are even likely to increase the price of the second kicker to US$100 million.

"Not much. It is enough for the total contract amount to exceed 5 billion U.S. dollars!" Liu Yijiu did not embarrass the other party. "Before, you proposed to deal with our Dragon Guard tanks, Z-91 helicopters, 336mm Guardian rockets, etc. We are interested in weapons and equipment. If these contracts can be signed, we can make major concessions at Dongfeng’s prices!"

A set of 336 rocket launchers, excluding the launch command vehicle and other supporting equipment, Liu Yijiu's price is 3 million US dollars.

The price of a 336 rocket with a range of 120 kilometers is equivalent to US$500,000, which is much cheaper than the Scud missile with a range of only 45 kilometers and just over a hundred.

Although the accuracy is not good enough to achieve the kind of precise guidance of missiles, it is indispensable for the entire Saudi Arabia's upcoming strategic missile force.

One hundred sets, this is Prince Bandar's own control.

Rather than talking to China about missiles with a range of tens of hundreds of kilometers, they are really inferior to rocket launchers, and these rocket launchers have a charge of more than 400 kilograms.

"Should the weapon equipment be rationed and sold by you or by our own initiative?" Prince Bandar frowned.

He didn't expect that the Chinese would also raise conditions in this regard.

If the Chinese ration them with weapons and equipment, they must not cry to death?

“Of course it’s up to you to choose. Similarly, even if you help your allies make purchases, there is no problem. The premise is that you lead the negotiation...” Liu Yijiu’s condition is basically in the hands of Saudi Arabia. Iraq’s right to import weapons left.

During the Iran-Iraq War, both Iraq and Iran purchased a lot of weapons and equipment. Liu Yijiu changed history. He exported weapons and equipment to Iran from the very beginning and performed very well. Now he is ready to continue exporting to Iraq. It needs hard-core Iraqi allies like Saudi Arabia to do it.

Therefore, his condition can be said to be the most unconditional condition.

"Director Liu, there should be no problem with this matter, but we need to go back and ask the king and Prince Sultan for their opinions..." Although Prince Bandar knew that this was not a harsh condition, and they also had a large amount of purchases in their hands. Order, but this matter must be reported back to King Fahd and listened to the King’s opinion.

Unlike other countries’ strategic weapons research and development or procurement plans, Saudi Arabia’s plan to purchase second kicks or even mushroom bombs this time was not promoted by the military’s high-level leadership, but was instructed by King Fahd himself.

The king is the most powerful person in Saudi Arabia, and he firmly believes that he wants to buy second kicks or even mushroom bombs. The people below should implement it and satisfy the king's needs.

The Chinese definitely want to sell the second kick, and the mushroom bombs are also eye-catching, but the Chinese's offer is a bit higher.

"This is naturally no problem. Of course, if you really pay attention to this point, I hope not to wait too long. China's domestic production plans are based on national defense needs. To produce such quantities, a process is required. If you miss it In the current international situation, the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union has eased, the crisis in Argentina has been resolved, and the transaction has become a problem..." Liu Yijiu did not force the other party to sign the contract now and pay the advance payment.

Prince Bandar and his party left China directly via Pakistan's plane. He did not take his special plane to China, but always passed through Pakistan.

Fly from Pakistan to China, then return from China to Pakistan, and then arrive in Saudi Arabia.

Inside the palace, King Fahd, who is not too old, listened carefully to Bandar's report. As the crown prince and the country's first deputy prime minister, Prince Sultan, commander of the Saudi Strategic Air Defense, was also sitting aside.

There was no fourth person in the entire conference room.

"This price is a lot less than what we expected! Since they have to make conditions before lowering the price, why not directly purchase Dongfeng-3 at a price of 70 million US dollars?" The king was a little dissatisfied with Bandar's decision.

The Chinese actually impose conditions on them, and they still sell them in bundles.

Prince Sultan did not change his expression, but motioned to Prince Bandar to continue.

"Your Majesty, at the beginning, the Chinese offered 70 million U.S. dollars. It is estimated that they all guessed our bottom line. In this regard, I think the Chinese are very kind. The reason why I think I should agree to their bundled sales terms is Because we can obtain a weapon in China that can effectively increase our national defense deterrence, a rocket launcher with a range of up to 120 kilometers, which is inexpensive and powerful..."

After seeing the 336 rocket launcher of the Guardian type, Bandar said he wanted a hundred sets.

When Sultan heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

"Are you sure this is a rocket launcher, not a missile?"

"Yes, Commander! I have seen this kind of rocket launcher in their production workshop. The Chinese are good at everything, except that if we want to watch live ammunition, we have to pay for ourselves... This time is relatively rushed. At first, I didn’t expect the Chinese to have such a thing, so I didn’t see the live fire effect of this rocket launcher..."

"Then they are not mushroom bombs, but cloud explosive bombs that can produce mushroom bombs. Have you seen it with your own eyes? The second kicker for us can be equipped with that kind of warhead?" The first ruler of any country, for Mushroom bombs have an almost paranoid fanaticism.

Only by possessing such a weapon of the world's most powerful one can one speak up internationally.

"Yes, here is the video I brought back, which I saw at their test site at the time. The Chinese did not cheat on this, because less than half an hour after the explosion, I followed them to the explosion center. Watch the effect live." Bandar brought back the test video of the heavy cloud explosive bomb.

When King Fahd and Prince Sultan heard this, their eyes suddenly lighted up and asked Bandar to show them the video they brought back.

When watching the video, there were only three of them. Prince Bandar served as the narrator, and there was a dialogue between Bandar and Liu Yijiu in the video...

"Their rocket launcher with a range of 120 kilometers can also carry such a warhead?" Prince Sultan saw the heavy cloud bomb exploded after being dropped. After the mushroom cloud rose up, the whole person's breathing started to rush.

"Yes!" Bandar nodded earnestly. "The two exploded in the video both weighed 2.1 tons, with different focuses..."

"Compared with the warhead on the Guardian I?" King Fahd also became interested in this conventional mushroom bomb.

"I don’t know. They didn’t test fire such small cloud bombs. However, in the Sino-Vietnamese war, the Chinese once fired dozens of 336 rocket artillery shells that had not been improved and had much less charge. Vietnam An elite division was annihilated. The Americans and the Soviets knew this. If the other party did not lie, we can get the details of the incident through our intelligence system..."

"And Dragon Guard tanks, and other conventional weapons are on their bundled contracts?" Seeing Bandar nodded, King Fahd's original anger was gone, they wanted to buy a spear missile with a range of 45 kilometers , Was rejected by the Americans. Now that there is a rocket launcher with a longer range, it will naturally not be let go."We should have a good talk with Saddam officials..."

Prince Sultan also nodded, but he has more of his own opinion.

"Your Majesty, maybe we should import a batch of conventional weapons and equipment from China. Their tanks have air defense capabilities and can attack armored targets. At the same time, they purchase a batch of their armed transport helicopters to strengthen our national defense. Even when the Dongfeng-3 missiles we have can not deter the enemy, we can have more powerful combat effectiveness. The Chinese weapons are advanced beyond our imagination. Dongfeng-3 is a long-range threat, and the 336 rocket can be used directly as a long-range threat. Mid- and short-range fire support, the three-dimensional defense network composed of Longwei I and helicopters ensures national defense security at close range..."

"In other words, use Chinese weapons and equipment to build our three-dimensional defense network..."
