Super military empire

"If you agree to replace it with oil fields, this matter will be easily resolved. Moreover, this is a win-win cooperation model!" Liu Yijiu saw that the other party did not answer him, and after adding that, he did not continue to say anything.

Crown Prince Sultan had no way to make a decision on this matter, only King Fahd could decide such a deal.

It is an eternal truth that it is better to get a mermaid than a fisherman.

What's more, the export of Chinese equipment needs a market.Now, Liu Yijiu is just to lay the foundation for China's equipment manufacturing industry to go abroad in the future.

In a short period of time, China’s equipment exports are not very realistic. The country’s industrial base is being upgraded, and a more complete supporting system has not been established. The huge China has not competed with the European and American equipment manufacturing industries. Foundation.

Unable to compete, it doesn't mean that there is no competition at all.

Iraq’s oil fields are indeed easy to obtain, but this country will be turbulent in the future, which will definitely affect the entire oil production.

The same is true for Iran. Khomeini is not dead, and Iran’s domestic policies will not change the slightest. The Americans, led by European countries, will impose economic sanctions on this country that hates them.This sanction has been going on for more than 30 years since the 1980s. The US imperialism’s international influence has been declining due to the mess in the Middle East, and the European countries will be loosened when the economic crisis makes them almost unable to support it.

The oil-for-food program is not only for Iraq, but also for Iran.

Owning mushroom bombs is the dream of any country.

"What? They have such a big appetite, they want to get oil fields from us!" Fahd had no idea that the Chinese would make such a request.

The reason why Saudi Arabia is able to maintain its autonomy among the great powers is because Saudi Arabia controls all the oil fields.A large part of these oil fields are in the hands of the royal family, and because of this, it is possible to support the luxurious living expenses of the entire royal family.

Now that China wants to obtain oil fields from them, for the king, it is tantamount to cutting meat from him.

"Your Majesty, the Chinese people's appetite is not our oil fields, but the desire to enter the petroleum equipment manufacturing market through our oil fields. China's production costs are low. Although the technology is not good, their country has begun to reform and open up to attract foreign investment. I also hope to increase their exports..." Liu Yijiu's reasons indeed convinced Crown Prince Sultan.

He began to use Liu Yijiu's reasons to convince His Majesty the King.

"Among them, not only does it greatly promote their domestic manufacturing, but it is also very good for us now. This time we launched OPEC to increase oil production for the United States’ strategy to bring down the Soviet Union. But the international demand for oil can’t keep up...” Sultan said while observing the king’s reaction. Seeing that the king didn’t overreact, he continued to speak, “Wait for the United States. If this strategic plan succeeds or goes bankrupt, we still have to join OPEC, otherwise it will cause the entire OPEC members to unite to boycott us, which would have offended the Soviet Union. If the Americans also classify us as enemies, it is not in line with our country. Benefits... A small number of oil fields are given to China. Once China's domestic economy develops, as long as their demand for oil increases, they will expand the output of oil fields. This part, we can completely count it outside the OPEC oil quota..."

These are all what Liu Yijiu said.

Although it seems impossible, it is very easy to operate.

Even if it is condemned internationally, there is no way.

The Chinese mine oil, that is their own oil field, and they will pay taxes to the Saudi royal family every time they mine a barrel of crude oil in Saudi oil fields...

"What do you think of such a cooperation model? If our cooperation with China is expanded to such an extent, it will have a very large impact on our strategic relationship with Europe and the United States. At the same time, our relationship with China The relationship will also change a lot!" The king considered mainly Saudi Arabia's international relations.

So far, Saudi Arabia has not established diplomatic relations with China. This is largely due to the influence of Western countries on the entire Saudi royal family.

"Our procurement of strategic weapons and equipment such as Dongfeng-3 from China will have a very large impact on our relationship with the United States. China is also a way for us to leave ourselves." Sultan gritted his teeth. Said.

What he meant was to make the king reconsider the relationship with China and Saudi Arabia's attitude towards the US government.

"Furthermore, we have purchased so many strategic weapons from China, and we will continue to cooperate in the future, and continue to maintain the state of not establishing diplomatic relations. For Saudi Arabia, it is of little use. Moreover, the establishment of diplomatic relations can be expanded. The economic cooperation and exchanges between our two sides promote the relationship between the two countries. Our country is a big country in terms of oil and finance, but it is not good in other areas... The political recognition and establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries cannot be the same as before. Petroleum Although there are many reserves, someday they will be exhausted. How will our country develop?"

The king frowned.

It seemed that Sultan was considering more far-reaching issues than him.

Moreover, the ambition is even greater.

However, he did not speak, but waited for him to continue.

"China started reforming and opening up in 1979 and opened several special economic zones. The main purpose is to attract foreign capital to enter the Chinese market to help China develop its economy. At the same time, it increases foreign exchange reserves and introduces technology from abroad to develop the domestic economy... "Sultan is not without thinking about China's reform and opening up.

King Fahd was the same, but his face showed a very deep concern: "China is a communist regime. Who knows if their policies will change. Once that happens, all our investments will be in jeopardy. Now it's a communist regime. China’s reform and opening up, the funds that entered the country were only from Japan and Taiwan. Japan, that was because it hurt China too much during World War II. It is reported that a lot of the funds are Japan’s war compensation to China... As for Taiwan, theirs The economy is now clearly in recession, and cheap labor from the mainland is needed to reduce their international competition costs and enhance their competitiveness!"

The whole world is currently watching China's reform and opening up, and many companies are small tentative investments.

As a wise king, since Fahd wants to build up a strategic force for Saudi Arabia, he will naturally not be a person without any skills.

Saudi Arabia’s future should be considered by any king.Especially what should they do after oil extraction is over.The huge oil exports have given Saudi Arabia a large amount of foreign exchange. These foreign exchanges have been invested by the Saudi government in the financial field and in the European and American world.

The economies of Europe and the United States are also not very prosperous now, and huge funds cannot find investment directions.

As a rising economic power, China's huge population and vast land area give China a very rich market and development potential.

Once China's economy develops, this will have a huge opportunity, which will allow the Saudi government's huge funds to find investment directions.

"It is true, so we must not invest too much in the beginning, and gradually test it out. Now the United States and Western countries are conducting tests..." If it weren't for contacting Liu Yijiu, and listening from Liu Yijiu To ensure that China's reform and opening policy will not change in at least the next 100 years, Sultan dare not suggest that the king invest in China.

For China, any multi-million dollar foreign exchange is very important.

Saudi Arabia will invest only a few million?

"Then what project shall we invest in?" King Fahd asked, frowning.

Many profit-making industries in China are not open to foreign investment.

"High-tech projects! Moreover, we need to resettle our citizens. Gradually use these opportunities to establish our technological system. Technology is the driving force and direction of the future world. We cooperate with China in this regard and have great Advantage!"

Regarding investment in China, Sultan also heard from Liu Yijiu.

The Ninth Institute has a huge number of civilian production units. According to Bandar's survey, it seems that the Ninth Institute will step in as long as it makes money.

At present, the civilian units of the Ninth Academy have very good income.

More importantly, many of the civilian product units under the Ninth Academy are high-tech or basic technology companies related to military technology.

If you can negotiate with the other party, Saudi Arabia can make money. In addition, it is more important that Saudi Arabia can use the opportunity of cooperation to send many highly educated talents in Saudi Arabia to China to study, and then come back to establish Saudi Arabia’s military system.

Such a suggestion is naturally very attractive to King Fahd.

Saudi Arabia is not allowed to invest in any military-related industries in the United States.It is precisely because of this that Saudi Arabia's individual investment completely abandoned industry and turned to fully develop the financial industry.

Negotiations at the Air Force Base have been continuing. Liu Yijiu was originally fooling Saudi Arabia to use more money to buy more conventional equipment. As a result, these guys actually wanted to invest in Chinese industries and they still had to cooperate with the Ninth Academy for development. High-tech stuff.

This made him really unexpected.

In his consistent understanding, the Saudis have always played only finance and not industry.

Of course, there is still a lot of industrial cooperation with China. There was once a program called "Great Power Heavy Equipment", which described a cooperation project of a large fertilizer factory.
