The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 727: Da Dongfeng's stunning appearance
Saudi Arabia, Riyadh, Royal Palace.

King Fahd is getting the latest updates, with Prince Sultan, Khalid and others present.

The others are all important figures in Saudi Arabia.

Saddam continued to expand his military power, and the country that was most worried was Saudi Arabia.

In particular, Saddam's invasion of Kuwait put enormous pressure on Saudi Arabia.

Because once Saddam continues to expand, he will inevitably point the finger at Saudi Arabia.

The border between the two countries is very long, and the Saudi army is not yet fully trained.

King Fahd said: "Saddam is aggressive by nature and a madman. This bastard has always wanted to start a war to establish a unified Arab country and the Babylonian Empire. The Americans are not good people either. We must be on guard."

"If the US military provokes Iraq, the Iraqis will definitely retaliate against us madly. They have too many missiles in their hands!" King Fahd frowned after listening to the report.

This is what worries him most.

When faced with an attack, the Iraqis will certainly retaliate against Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia has now become the gathering place for the coalition forces and a bridgehead for launching an attack on Iraq.

They knew that Iraq had purchased a large number of Scud missiles and other types of missiles from the Soviet Union and an arms dealer.

Then, there were the Hussein missiles, which Iraq had developed itself.

Although the exact number of missiles in the hands of the Iraqis is unknown, the number is definitely huge.

It can be said that Saudi Arabia faces the threat of being attacked by these missiles.

Saudi Arabia’s air defense missiles have been deployed, but no matter how powerful they are, they cannot intercept all missiles and aircraft.

King Fahd seemed to have made a great decision, "Are our strategic missile forces ready? It's time to pull out Dongfeng Express and show it to Saddam. If he dares to attack Saudi Arabia, let Dongfeng Express send him some good things and blow up his residences!"

"We will conduct an exercise, broadcast live across the country, to test the combat capability of our missile forces. I want to attend in person!" A cold look flashed in King Fahd's eyes.

It's time to let Dongfeng Express, which is in Saudi Arabia's hands, take a look around.

Since buying back Dongfeng Express, Saudi Arabia has been keeping it confidential, and the confidentiality work has been done very well. Now it has formed combat capabilities.

Faced with the current situation, King Fahd decided to make it public, reveal his cards and intimidate Saddam.

If Saddam dared to invade Saudi Arabia, King Fahd would make Saddam unable to sleep well.

Because Dongfeng Express can be launched anytime and anywhere and sent to any place in Iraq.

Last year, Saudi Arabia spent a lot of money to upgrade these Dongfeng Express missiles, adding satellite guidance to improve their hit accuracy.

a few days later.

Sulayl missile base.

This is a continuous desert area with few human settlements around.

A few years ago, a large number of engineers entered here, and then signs prohibiting approach were erected around the area. Saudi troops patrolled here every day.

At the deepest part of the base, there are some low buildings, and in front of the buildings is a large area of ​​concrete ground.

You can even see tanks here, dozens of tanks here.

Even through aerial reconnaissance and satellite reconnaissance, there is a high probability that this place will be considered a tank base.

In fact, there is a tank battalion stationed here, which is dedicated to guarding the missile base and also serves as a decoy.

The tank battalion is equipped with all Type 80 main battle tanks and some Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns.

King Fahd and his men arrived here at dawn, along with the Saudi National Television.

A special camera team carried cameras and pointed them at the surrounding areas.

As Prince Sultan reported to King Fahd, everything was ready. King Fahd nodded and ordered a nationwide live broadcast.

All of a sudden, all the televisions in Saudi Arabia, no matter which channel, were switched to Saudi national television.

People were very confused, but even more curious.

At this moment——"Woo~~"

A shrill alarm sounded in the originally silent missile base.

"Level 1 combat readiness!"

"Quick! Quick! Combat alert~~"

"All units, deploy for combat immediately! Prepare for launch~"

"Air defense units enter combat readiness, defend against air attacks!"

A series of orders from officers at all levels made the entire silent missile base busy.

This is a strategic missile force that has undergone several years of special training, and its military quality is absolutely second to none in the Saudi military.

At this time, Saudi viewers in front of the TV saw that large military green trucks drove out from low houses, and behind each of these trucks was a huge missile.

The huge military green missile has a circle of white paint at the bottom of the conical warhead at the top, two white circles in the middle, and a white circle at the bottom, with "DF-3" painted on it with white paint.

Dongfeng Express! Mission accomplished!

After being dragged out of various warehouses by vehicles, the huge missiles were quickly deployed around the base. Supported by hydraulic supports, the heavy missiles were quickly erected on the launchers.

Soon, it was ready for launch!

Most Saudi citizens do not understand what this 'DF-3' is, but those in the military field can recognize it at a glance and cannot stand the test of time.

Schwarzkopf, who was watching TV, stood up suddenly and pushed the beautiful woman in his arms away.

"DF-3! Asshole, you dare to sell such a powerful weapon!" Schwarzkopf's eyes were full of shock.

Schwarzkopf naturally recognized the 'DF-3' at a glance. This is a medium-range ballistic missile. With him as the radius, an area over 2000 kilometers is within its range.

And who knows whether this 'DF-3' carries a nuclear warhead or a conventional warhead.

This thing is definitely a powerful weapon, a true national treasure.

Everyone is hiding their belongings tightly for fear of being discovered. Who would sell them?
"Damn it! They are so poor that they dare to sell such a powerful weapon! I was wondering why Saudi Arabia is so stubborn and has not given in. They are not afraid of the massive invasion of the Iraqi army!" Schwarzkopf was furious. Many things that he could not understand before, he now understood.

With such a powerful weapon, Saddam would have attacked Kuwait unless he was crazy and wanted to die together with his enemies and risk being killed in the explosion. Otherwise, why would he attack Kuwait?

With this powerful weapon, Saudi Arabia will stand up straight instead of falling to the ground like before.

Who gave Saudi Arabia the courage to be tough? It was not Liang Jingru, but DF-3!

Schwarzkopf understood that the possibility of him taking some action to induce Iraq to attack Saudi Arabia was extremely small.

Moreover, when he looked at the DF-3, he couldn't help but be cautious.

Who knows whether Saudi Arabia will throw it to Iraq, Israel, or somewhere else at that time.

If this were thrown out, it would immediately cause high tension in the Soviet Union and the United States, and many people would have to move underground.
