The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 519 Can’t understand

Panshan Group.

Hong Kong Kingsoft Co., Ltd., Hong Kong Sohu Co., Ltd., Hong Kong Penguin Co., Ltd.!
Kingsoft Corporation Limited is positioned as a multinational computer technology company, focusing on R&D, manufacturing, licensing and providing a wide range of computer software services. Its businesses will include Kingsoft operating system and Kingsoft series software.

It is estimated that at its peak, the entire Hong Kong Kingsoft Corporation will have more than 6 employees, and its R&D centers, research institutes, technical support centers, product development and technical support service agencies will be spread all over the world.

Hong Kong Sohu Co., Ltd. is positioned as an Internet portal website, and its services include search engines, email, news, etc. It is expected that at its peak, it will have more than 1.5 employees.

Xiangjiang Penguin Co., Ltd. is positioned as an Internet technology company, mainly in the field of online social networking, including Internet chat software, Internet games, etc. It is expected that at its peak, the number of employees will exceed 10!

Liu Tao has high hopes for these three Internet technology companies because they will have high revenues, staggering profits, and can provide a large number of high-paying jobs for China.

After the company leader is selected and the main team is formed, they will go to Hong Kong to register and establish the company.

There was only a little over a year left until the 1987 ceremony, so Liu Tao was not afraid of any unexpected incidents.

Prince Sultan and King Fahd together.

Prince Sultan is King Fahd's younger brother, only five years younger than the king. The two have a deep relationship, otherwise King Fahd would not have entrusted such an important matter to Prince Sultan.

The two were eating steak and drinking red wine.

Achieving goals, or even exceeding expectations, made both of them feel very happy.

"Sultan, thank you for your hard work!" King Fahd said, "You have made great contributions to Saudi Arabia!"

Saudi Arabia's original goal was to purchase medium-range ballistic missiles from China.

Unexpectedly, before purchasing medium-range ballistic missiles, Saudi Arabia first purchased advanced warships.

Although that is as high as 160 billion US dollars, it is also a lot of money for Saudi Arabia.

But King Fahd knew that such advanced warships were often not something that could be bought with money. Just like when Saudi Arabia wanted to purchase Perry-class frigates, the United States was unwilling to sell them. Did Saudi Arabia offer too little?
If you look at it in a positive way, with the current oil price, Saudi Arabia can make the profit in less than three months.

And when these warships arrive in Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia will have huge influence in the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea, and its voice will be greatly increased.

At that time, Europe and the United States had to listen carefully to Saudi Arabia's opinions.

With the addition of the Vostok-3 missile, he can sleep soundly at night. He believes that no one would dare to bomb or launch an air strike on Saudi Arabia.

"If anyone dares to launch missiles at us again, we will shoot them back!" King Fahd spoke with more confidence than before.

Prince Sultan knew that these words were directed entirely at the Jews!

The Jewish missiles in the past caused a lot of losses to Arab countries. The Fahd country is most interested in education and making some money. The problem is that the Middle East has never had peace and stability because it controls the world's oil supply.

King Fahd has been the commander of the National Guard since 1964 and is very familiar with military affairs. After becoming king in 82, King Fahd has devoted all his energy to developing the economy and improving the lives of the people at home. At the same time, he also knows that it is necessary to strengthen national defense construction, otherwise it will be difficult to protect their economic construction achievements. The king, who has always been mild-mannered and pro-American, also has many complaints about Americans.

In the past, the Americans have repeatedly occupied Israel and protected Israel. The Fifth Middle East War a few years ago was clearly provoked by Israel, but the Americans directly and openly supported Israel. After the Israeli Air Force and Navy suffered devastating blows, active-duty soldiers resolutely appeared to drive planes and warships to join the Israeli army.

If the Americans had not been so blatant, the Israeli army would have certainly been destroyed.

However, after the fifth Middle East war, Palestine was established, but the United States and Israel did not recognize Palestine as an independent country.

As for Palestine's application to become a member of the United Nations, it was vetoed by the United States.

Prince Sultan agreed and said, "Yes, when these advanced weapons reach Saudi Arabia, no one will be able to bully us easily."

Prince Sultan did not think of threatening anyone with these weapons. They bought these weapons for self-protection and to protect their own safety.

As for threatening others, he knows his own army too well and knows that his own soldiers are not up to the task.

Look at whose soldiers, when they are sitting in tanks and armored vehicles, they must have air conditioning and a refrigerator so they can drink cold drinks and red wine?

These young soldiers of ours simply don't have very strong fighting power.

"Sultan, what do you think of China?" King Fahd suddenly said.

Prince Sultan hesitated for a moment, looking thoughtful, and did not answer immediately. After a long time, he said, "I come to China every year, but I don't understand China. China seems to be shrouded in a mist."

"Don't understand?" King Fahd was a little curious. He did not expect Prince Sultan to evaluate China in this way.

Prince Sultan nodded and said, "I just don't understand! China is obviously very poor and backward in many aspects, not much better than Africa. I thought so a few years ago, and even thought they still had braids on their heads."

"But they have achieved preliminary industrialization and have an industrialized system. They can develop advanced weapons and equipment, including firearms, tanks, armored vehicles, anti-ship missiles, and anti-aircraft missiles that are at the world's leading level." Prince Sultan said with emotion, "I don't understand it, and I can't explain it, but it just happened. It's so contradictory, but this is China."

"But I think China has great development potential. Its military strength is actually very strong. China is now focusing on developing its economy. This is a good opportunity. I think we can set aside a sum of money every year to invest in China. We can not only share the dividends of China's development, but also leave a way for the future." Prince Sultan said with certainty.

King Fahd agreed: "This is a regional power with the potential to become a superpower. It is indeed worth investing in. After all, no one dares to say that the United States will definitely have the last laugh and become the ultimate winner in the competition with the Soviet Union."

"We should indeed leave ourselves a way out, and oil is a non-renewable resource. We cannot continue to produce oil forever," said King Fahd.

King Fahd is definitely an elite in society, as he is not only a leader in the royal family but also the king of Saudi Arabia.

He had to consider Saudi Arabia's long-term future, worrying about the fact that oil would one day run out, as well as the country's previous one-sided approach towards the United States.

In today's world, who dares to say that the United States will definitely win the final victory in the global competition?
The United States has not had an easy time in the past decade or so, and the pattern of the Soviet Union attacking and the United States defending has not changed to this day.

If the United States had not come up with a unique strategy and reconciled with China, which changed the entire situation in Asia, the United States would probably not be able to hold on now.
