Super military empire

Chapter 745 Are you embarrassed to sell without heavy tanks?

"As you think, our military system is not very good in the whole world, and it can even be said to be bad. Of course, this is on the whole. In a certain aspect, even if we are not good, we are not bad. Regarding your country’s national defense, security and army building, Prince Bandar doesn’t know if there is any report, but I personally agree with his idea. That is, build a three-dimensional defense network!" Liu Yijiu told from the beginning For the people of Saudi Arabia, the future war is an information-based out-of-sight war, and mechanized troops are obviously unable to meet the needs of the future battlefield.

"According to your imagination, if our army purchases your country's conventional weapons and equipment in large quantities, plus our existing Western NATO countries' weapons and equipment, the requirements for the entire command system and logistics system are very high..." Sultan is not easy to fool.

What Liu Yijiu said is nice, but according to the current situation, if weapons and equipment are purchased from various countries, the problem of light weapons is not very big. After all, Saudi Arabia does not need much firearms.

But heavy weapons and equipment are different.

Training, logistical assurance, etc. are related to combat capabilities are very difficult.

"This is not a problem. Although our current weapon system is different from NATO countries and the Soviet Union, and the other party will not agree to open cooperation, the system is compatible. I think you can research it yourself. The education level of Saudi citizens In the whole world, they are relatively tall, and the personnel in this area shouldn't be a problem..." Liu Yijiu slapped the local tyrants while flattering."In addition, you can completely purchase certain types of weapons and equipment for a certain system from only one country, so the difficulty is much less..."

Liu Yijiu naturally has a better suggestion, that is, all weapon systems are purchased from China.

But no matter how thick-skinned he is, he is embarrassed to bring up such things at this time.

"Do you mean that all our weapon systems should be purchased from China?" King Fahd was very upset with Liu Yijiu, and now he asked Liu Yijiu unceremoniously.

Liu Yijiu immediately shook his head, "Your Majesty, although Saudi Arabia has sufficient funds, any weapon and equipment can be purchased. The question is, can you find a seller if you want to buy? How much has your country paid for purchasing f15 from the United States? The price? At least, China will not have any political strings attached to arms sales!"

This is true.

China will not expand its hegemony globally, and will not be as shameless as the United States, saying that the situation in the Middle East is related to the strategic security of the United States.At the same time, they will attack certain countries that affect their interests because of the so-called injustice.

"Buying all from China, I personally think it's pretty good." Liu Yijiu didn't plan to say it himself. After King Fahd said it, he was not welcome.Someone gave a pole, and didn't know how to climb up along the pole, it was a bit unkind.

Apart from anything else, only the procurement of weapons and equipment from countries like Saudi Arabia is not enough for many military enterprises under the Chinese military, or at least they can die.

In the past two decades before entering the 21st century, although China is the world's third largest exporter of arms, its share in the global total has not exceeded 10%!

Such a situation must never happen again in this era.

Otherwise, Director Liu must have come for nothing.

It's just that some small countries in Africa and Asia use all the equipment of the People's Liberation Army, which is not enough.

The local tyrant Saudi Arabia is the beginning.

"In terms of light weapons, we have a Type 77 automatic rifle that is not inferior to any country in the world, and the sniper rifle has been war-tested... In terms of heavy weapons and equipment, we have the Z-91. The performance is best known by Prince Bandar. The heavy weapons on the ground have Dragon Guards tanks, so I don’t need to introduce them too much, right?"

Although both the Longwei Tank and Zhi-91 were denied air conditioning by Prince Bandar, Liu Yijiu was blocked by reasons that would make their soldiers suffer. Now these problems are not a problem at all.

Refrigerator without air conditioning can be improved.

"Of course, Prince Bandar also pointed out some shortcomings of our tanks and helicopters last time. For example, there is no air conditioning and no refrigerators, which will make your soldiers suffer. These are not important. We can do it very quickly. Improve."

"Director Liu, please don't change the subject. You'd better convince me now, otherwise, our negotiation will be over here!" Fahd frowned and interrupted Liu Yijiu.

Liu Yijiu never got into the topic.

He doesn't think these words can move him.The only thing that impressed him was Liu Yijiu's statement that China's sales of weapons and equipment to Saudi Arabia would not have any political conditions attached.

Now China lacks foreign exchange, so it binds sales, but after China's economic development, it is estimated that there will be no such thing.

"Especially your tank. Although it has advanced combat performance, it is still a medium-sized tank. Although a lot of T72s have been destroyed on the battlefield, it is also difficult to defeat heavy tanks..." King Fahd did not understand Military, but he still knows the most basic common sense.Otherwise, he would not issue an order to equip Saudi Arabia with strategic missiles."The more advanced the tank, the heavier the weight. The reason why the Dragon Guard tank can now defeat the Soviet and American tanks is because of your design. The American tanks are not finalized, and the Soviets are also fast. Ten years of old equipment, how about their latest tank t80, no one knows..."

When Liu Yijiu heard this, he rolled his eyes.

He has always felt that the Dragon Guard tank is a bit tasteless, so after seeing the performance of the Dragon Guard tank on the Iran-Iraq battlefield, the Republican army is preparing to equip it on a large scale in the country. The Dragon Guard tank is used as an arrow to match the heights to improve domestic equipment. A huge number of 59 tanks and 69 tanks.

The 79 tanks, which had been finalized, were finally stopped by the military and continued to study more advanced ones.

The Dragon Guard tank has a tonnage of less than 40 tons. Although it has a strong combat capability, it is when facing tanks of the same grade.On the Iran-Iraq battlefield, facing heavy tanks such as t64b and m1 weighing more than 60 tons, although they can break the defense of the other side, they are far less sharp than t72 and t54/55 tanks.

Therefore, after the Longwei 1 model was finalized, Liu Yijiu ordered the Ninth Academy to study a new generation of heavy tanks.That is the real high-end top main battle tank of the Republic.

High and low matching, this is the future development direction of the Republic’s military for a long time.

Otherwise, those tanks that have been produced desperately since the founding of the People's Republic of China can only be decommissioned and sealed or consumed.In that case, the huge land area of ​​the Republic needs to be protected, and huge military expenditures will bankrupt the entire country!

"Your Majesty, we are currently working on a more advanced combat tank. It is initially estimated that the weight will exceed 70 tons, and the firepower will be stronger than that of the Dragon Guard tank. The improvement in combat performance cannot be disclosed now. According to our strategy, we The plan is to use heavy tanks as the top cutting-edge force, Longwei as the mid-range combat force, and China’s large number of Type 59 tanks and Type 69 tanks as low-end forces. At the same time, it will coordinate the Zhi-91 and develop professional armed helicopters and transport helicopters. Cooperate with various missiles and rocket launchers to establish a three-dimensional homeland defense field..." Liu Yijiu described the magnificent and magnificent, which made King Fahd and Prince Sultan yearning.

Saudi Arabia's national defense industry has existed since the establishment of the country.

But there has not been such a systematic construction and development.

This is the sadness of a small country.

As Liu Yijiu said, if you have money, you cannot buy national defense.

"How high can your helicopters fly? Really three-dimensional, and there is a higher sky and outer space!" China does not even have an early warning aircraft, and the sky is always facing major threats from the Soviet Union. The safety of the capital cannot be guaranteed. What to talk about here is the establishment of an integrated national defense and military force.

"This question, we can only keep it secret..." Liu Yijiu smiled mysteriously.

Currently there is no such thing. When the Beidou system of the Republic is developed in advance, then the U.S. emperor and Soviet revision will know that it is not them that can monitor the world.

It's just that the local tyrants in front of you need to provide funding.

"For us, it is indeed a good choice. Sultan, what do you think?" After Liu Yijiu left, the king and the crown prince negotiated the details of the Dongfeng-3 missile transaction in Bandar at the air base. The prince was also called back again.

After reporting, Bandar said that he really wanted to use China's conventional heavy weapons and equipment to build the entire Saudi homeland defense system.

Dongfeng-3, the Guardian rocket launcher, are all part of this system.

However, his status is too low to say what he thinks, otherwise...

"Chinese heavy tanks, no one knows when they will come out. The performance of the Dragon Guards is not very dominant against the heavy tanks of the United States and the Soviet Union." Sultan also frowned, "But their helicopters, It is indeed possible to purchase a part to cooperate with tank operations, to guide tanks, ground armored clusters and even our rocket artillery units, which will effectively improve the strike accuracy..."

"We can also purchase part of the Dragon Guard tank. At present, the domestic amx-30 tank has completely fallen behind. The Americans have been delaying the export project of the m-60a3 Patton tank because of Israel. Now, let’s look at the Chinese Dragon Guard. Obviously more suitable for us than Button..." Bandar put forward his own opinion.
