Super military empire

"You have sold all the industrial systems to Egypt. With their position in the Arab League and the whole of Africa, this will form a very huge competition for our future market. Besides, this time in Saudi Arabia, you can still sell What? You can't continue to sell such a plan!" The attitude of the money boss is very obvious. Now that you have sold the capabilities of Egypt's own manufacturing, what else can you sell to Saudi Arabia?

Although the relationship between Saudi Arabia and Egypt broke off after signing a peace agreement with Israel, they soon recovered.

Moreover, Saudi Arabia now requires Egypt to garrison them. A large part of Egypt's purchase of weapons and equipment this time comes from Saudi free aid.

"Chief, do you think, even if we provide it, how long will they be able to produce? Even at the initial stage, we have to provide key tank guns, engines and even the entire fire control system. Do you think we will make less profit on this? ?" Liu Yijiu said with a smile.

The money boss was taken aback, and then he also laughed.

Liu Yijiu did not end, "Furthermore, the manufacturing technology we sell, that is, Longwei is relatively advanced, but the fighter, at most, we export the production line of the J-7 or J-8ii. The top fighters, they are still They have to buy. Once they get used to our fighter design, do you think they should give priority to us, the United States or the Soviet Union, which has a high cost-effective advantage? First of all, our biggest advantage is that arms sales orders will not attach anything Political conditions..."

In the world arms market, the top weapons and equipment are basically the result of political contests and balances among countries.

China's share in the world arms market is too low. Of course, when the country sells, it will also take into account some issues. The most important thing is technological secrecy.

The reason why fighters like the J-11 are not banned is because they are technical imitations of the F-14, and there is no need to worry about technical leaks. At the same time, there are more advanced J-10s in China and the J-10s that have already started development work. twenty.

The Dragon Guard tank was sold from the beginning, and there is no need to worry about technical leaks. The true core graphene armor is not reflected in the exported tanks.Just use graphite fiber armor.

Compared with depleted uranium armor and Chobham armor, even corundum meets the armor, which is considered to be of the same level, which is far worse than graphene armor.

After all, when it comes to Destroyer, it basically begins to use graphene armor in large quantities.

Otherwise, the weight of the armor of such a large tank would have to collapse.

Therefore, Liu Yijiu considers a lot less in these aspects.

Now he does have some headaches. Saudi Arabia is different from Egypt. Americans will not give up the Saudi market so easily. This country has always been the largest U.S. arms procurement country, and all kinds of advanced equipment are basically from the United States.

In addition to the original sale of Dongfeng-3, some other weapons and equipment were also sold. In the crisis brought about by Iraq’s occupation of Kuwait, the Saudis did not express their intention to purchase weapons and equipment from China.

Perhaps this is the reason why the senior management wants Liu Yijiu to come.

Liu Yijiu is indeed having a headache. On the Saudi side, what are they selling to them?If we can sell more Dragon Guards and J-11 weapons and equipment to Saudi Arabia, we may be able to obtain follow-up orders worth hundreds of billions of dollars in the future.

However, after the American F-14 is now imitated by China, it is likely to be sold to Saudi Arabia. The tank has an improved version of the m1a1, and there are more types of missiles.

In addition, Saudi Arabia has always purchased Western-standard weapons and equipment, and is accustomed to using Western countries' weapons and equipment. Although China's weapons and equipment are currently combined with the United States and the Soviet Union, there are still big differences in operating habits.

"Saudi Arabia is different from Egypt. First of all, they are not short of money. You should be aware of this. The United States will not easily give up arms sales to Saudi Arabia. In this regard, they will certainly not let us complete the transaction easily. They sold Dongfeng-3. At the time, the speed was fast enough that the Americans did not react, otherwise there is basically not much possibility..." The money boss does not know enough about the performance of weapons and equipment, but the various relationships between countries are very clear.

As Foreign Minister, these are the most clear.

"Also, considering political factors, these are all factors that make it impossible for Americans to sell high-end equipment to Iran. Once we succeed, their power in the Gulf will be seriously affected. Strategies have very big conflicts..." The money boss said this very seriously.

He worried that Liu Yijiu could not consider these issues.

Saudi Arabia is the biggest customer. If possible, they can even equip their air force ground crew with fighters...

More importantly, the US military needs to strengthen its presence in this region.

The attitude of the United States is very obvious. They are fighting Iraq, which was originally prepared.

The encounter with James Baker at the airport is very obvious.

The US army of 500,000 has already been prepared, and even a large part of it has been shipped to Saudi Arabia. From this, you can see a lot.

"Sometimes, knowing that the possibility of things is very small, we can't just give up like this, maybe there are accidents. Saudi Arabia has Dongfeng-3, but if we don’t agree, that thing is Strategic deterrence is nothing more. As for other weapons and equipment, this time it depends on the situation. Like you, there is no plan, no plan, if there is a chance, just don’t give up... Saudi Arabia is very difficult to do.

Liu Yijiu knows.

This is not only because Saudi Arabia itself is not bad money, but also because the United States will not give up.

In addition to strategic weapons, it is estimated that Saudi Arabia is not very interested in China.What's more important is that Saudi Arabia and the United States have such unclear interest relationships. Otherwise, the mere support of the United States for Israel's looting of a large amount of land from the Arabs would be enough to make them and the United States always be enemies.

There are too many political factors to consider in the exchanges between countries.

When purchasing and selling weapons and equipment, we only buy the right ones, not the best ones.

Just like the original world, the Republic obviously has a large domestic aircraft, and in the end, the top chief has to give Boeing and Airbus tens of billions of dollars in orders. This is a political factor.

Similarly, the Republic obviously has the J-20 and J-31, and the Republic has to buy dozens of junk Su-35s from Lao Maozi; it clearly has Taihang engines, but still has to purchase Lao Maozi's engines; with Yun-20, They have to buy the Il-78 which they improved from Il-76!

Everything is for the benefit of the country and the nation.

Many times, many decisions are helpless.

Therefore, Liu Yijiu is really not sure about Saudi Arabia.

On the Egyptian side, it was an accident. Their little oil production would not affect the entire world at all, unless they blocked the Suez Canal.

"I have also considered this. Therefore, I am not sure about the negotiations with Saudi Arabia on this aspect. Even if they have a huge demand, they will care about the opinions of the United States, especially since the United States now has hundreds of thousands of troops. I have already left for Saudi Arabia..." Liu Yijiu sighed.

Does the Saudi royal family have such courage?

Hundreds of thousands of US troops are stationed in their territory and are about to clean up Saddam. How many arms purchase contracts can they still reach with China?

"Able to succeed is a good thing, even if it is not successful, it is not a bad thing. After all, we are here this time mainly not for this..."

"That's your old man. If I can't do anything, I still have it?" Liu Yijiu didn't keep his grievances in his heart because the other party was the foreign minister."If it wasn't for your threats, I wouldn't want to come here!"

"It's coming anyway." The money boss is not at all angry. "After all, this is not for the personal benefit of any of us, but for the development of the entire nation. Even for the national defense cause of the entire country. The government owns. The funds are used for economic construction, not much money is invested in the military industry..."

This is a fact.

Except for a small amount of military expenditures, many of the military systems under the military have started to raise their own funds. The Ninth Academy has ten years of experience and has made such great results. It is not a particularly important core project. The government basically Rarely invest money.

If a military-industrial unit cannot support or keep up, the final result will be restructuring. If the restructuring fails, then it will only be merged by other units, bankrupted and reorganized.

Although China’s military industry currently has huge orders due to exports, these orders are only concentrated in a few key military industries, most of which belong to the Ninth Academy, and other units cannot, especially the naval equipment and even aerospace that require the largest investment.

In order to develop manned space projects, China has invested a lot of domestic funds.

Otherwise, when the current orders are sufficient and the production capacity is insufficient, Liu Yijiu will be sent to the Middle East to take this opportunity to sell domestically produced weapons and equipment.

"This is also true. Since it's here, you naturally have to find opportunities. Even if there is no huge arms sales order, how can the export of civilian products be higher?" Liu Yijiu said indifferently.

Come, naturally you won't go back empty-handed.

If it doesn't work, I will go to Jordan and talk to Iraq about other things. Anyway, there is a channel from China to Iraq, and the embargo will be useless.

Exporting to Iraq is not a direct bilateral transaction.
