Super military empire

(Something happened in the past two days, so there are few updates. I'm really sorry.)

"Liu, what are you worried about? You didn't try to sell your weapons and equipment before, but now we have a huge demand, but you start to hesitate. This is not in line with your style. There is no other trade between us. Why are you unwilling to influence the influence of political factors in the United States? Is it possible that the Chinese government can ignore billions or even tens of billions of dollars in orders?" King Fahd suddenly spoke to Liu Yijiu.

Obviously, Liu Yijiu was worried.

And they can see it clearly.

Liu Yijiu looked at the old king, then at the two princes, and then said to them, “You should buy weapons and equipment from the United States. Their Patriot missiles are not bad... But you just ignored The tradition between them buys from us. Your Majesty, I don’t know if there is any internal information in this?"

Simply talk about your worries directly.

The king was silent, Prince Sultan was silent, and Prince Bandar was also silent.

Liu Yijiu stared at them, not at all feeling that this was a good thing.

Continued, "What if this is the order of the Americans?"

"We hope to purchase part of the weapons and equipment from your country to ensure that there are no problems. Now the war is about to break out, and the American army is continuously going to our country. Colleagues, the huge American aircraft carrier fleet in the Persian Gulf is also Here comes..." Sultan said suddenly and seriously.

This area belongs to the Middle East.

The territory of the Arabs, and the presence of the US military, is constantly strengthening.

There are many things between Saudi Arabia and the United States that they can't do. Once they have money, who would want to continue to be regarded as that gun?

"We hope to have the ability to protect our own country!"

"Are you going to build your own national defense industry system?" Liu Yijiu asked in surprise.

Saudi tyrants have never liked investing in industry. Are the rumors false?

"No, we are going to purchase weapons and equipment. Although the establishment of a huge industrial system is of great benefit to a country, it is too difficult for us, and we do not have enough technical personnel and skilled workers... "The other party obviously doesn't think so, "We purchase weapons and equipment from the United States, Europe and even your country..."

Made in All Nations?

The corners of Liu Yijiu's mouth twitched a little. What did these Saudi tyrants think?Why is this happening?

Are they going to follow the road of A Three Kingdoms?

The most unreliable weapons and equipment made by the nations are not reliable. Firearms from several countries cannot be used in one company. As a result, the logistics supply system will have major problems.

Especially for high-end equipment, once the equipment has a problem, even if the soldiers have rich experience, there is no way to quickly use other equipment of the same type, because the weapons and equipment of the United States will be quite different.

Many countries want to purchase weapons and equipment from one country.

The Western countries and the United States have begun to become unified and standardized in their weapons and equipment due to the existence of the Soviet Union, but there are still not small differences.

"If so, your logistics..." Liu Yijiu was a little worried.

Logically speaking, he should agree to sell weapons and equipment for the other side's reasons.It should not be considered, but now I still feel that there are many problems in the middle.

"Therefore, we hope that the weapon system you supply to us is best compatible with the ammunition of NATO countries..."

"That's what you guys do?" Liu Yijiu's mouth twitched.

It shouldn't be!

Although the Americans hope that China will also adopt their standards, what China has learned from the Soviet system and the lessons learned will have problems, which will further delay the progress of China's scientific and technological research.

"No, this is not what the Americans meant. We hope that the conventional equipment will be replaced with some Chinese weapons and equipment. For example, fighters and tanks, if they can launch NATO standard ammunition, can use NATO standard weapon interfaces, or yours The missile can be installed on NATO equipment for use..." Prince Sultan said sincerely.

They believe that they have shown great sincerity.

"How much equipment do you need? What are the types?" Liu Yijiu thought about it, but asked calmly on his face."What if the Americans make trouble and stop it?"

Once Saudi Arabia is unable to resist the pressure from the United States, this matter is basically unlikely.

After all, conventional equipment cannot be delivered after negotiation like Dongfeng-3.

Even worse, if Saudi Arabia also needs Dragon Guard and J-11, how can China deliver it?At least it will take several years.

"Fighters, tanks, armored vehicles, missiles, etc.. Especially fighters used to seize air supremacy, and missiles for permanent long-range precision strikes..." Prince Sultan looked at Liu Yijiu and said, he wanted to see Liu Yijiu's face See what this kid thinks about.

It is best to be able to agree to their orders, which is a good thing for both parties.

"Do you have a lot of tanks and armored vehicles in your country?" Liu Yijiu asked, frowning. There are many good things in Saudi Arabia."What's more, didn't you order a lot of f-15 and f-16 in the hands of the United States?"

"Relatively speaking, we prefer the f-14. At the beginning we wanted to purchase this fighter from the United States, but they did not agree, but Iran bought it..." Bandar's words let Liu Yijiu understand why these local tyrants hope. Purchase the J-11 from China.

This fighter is completely a replica of the f-14, but it has undergone some improvements in design. Liu Yijiu knows the subsequent improvements of the f-14. It doesn’t take much time to go. To modify the design, there is no need to use too much verification.

So far, hundreds of aircraft have been produced, and air forces of several countries are in use, and there has not been a single crash.

Iran has it, Iraq has it, but Saudi Arabia does not.

They are going to order from the United States, and the Americans are telling them that they can buy their retired domestic f-14. The maintenance cost of the f-14 is too high. Even if the technology is advanced, the Americans do not think it is necessary. Directly replace the role of the f-14 with the f-15 and f-16.

Even so, the f-14 is still the favorite fighter plane of American pilots.

Therefore, Saudi Arabia actually wants to have better aircraft.The Americans want to fool them with retired fighters, which is naturally impossible.

Can Saudi Arabia use second-hand equipment from other countries?

The signing of the "Mutual Defense Agreement and Jeddah Airport Lease Agreement," and the existence of the Gulf crisis, allowed Saudi Arabia to purchase US$30 billion in weapons and equipment.

"At the same time, we plan to make a list of weapons purchase orders from China, which contain the weapons and equipment we hope to obtain from China. At the same time, including our Dongfeng-3's technical agreement to increase the range to 4000 kilometers, the total contract amount is According to a rough estimate of the price of weapons and equipment you sold before, we almost need about 12 billion US dollars in weapons and equipment.” Prince Sultan is still hesitant to see Liu Yijiu up to now, so he doesn’t let go. , Directly stated the value of the contract.

This is the price they have proposed themselves. If the other party wants a higher price, it will be more than the contract amount.

The Chinese lack money, this is something everyone knows.

Sending more than 10 billion US dollars to the door will not only make China's military production fuller, but they will also have more funds to invest in the field of military research.

No one would hope that the benefits of delivering it to the door are gone.

Liu Yijiu heard the figure of 12 billion U.S. dollars, and couldn't help being a little confused. Is it possible that Saudi Arabia gave the remaining 18 billion U.S. dollars to the United States in order to appease the United States?

During the Gulf crisis, Saudi Arabia spent 30 billion U.S. dollars, and the prices of many weapons and equipment were very high, and the profits were multiple.

"Of course, as a guarantee, we hope to use some oil for delivery..."

King Fahd said to Liu Yijiu, who was constantly weighing various things in his heart.

Exchange of oil for weapons and equipment is what Liu Yijiu has always done with Iran and Iraq.

The domestic economy now has a large demand for imported oil.

Oil security is now becoming more and more prominent.The domestic crude oil production cost is much higher than the Middle East, and the quality is not very good. More importantly, the current domestic oil reserves are not too many.

Because of the appearance of Liu Yijiu, China has developed a lot of oil fields in Iran, Iraq and even Kuwait.

Saudi Arabia’s oil fields have always been stared at by Western countries and American companies, mainly the United States.

It is not easy for China to find opportunities to intervene.

"Oil field?" Liu Yijiu's breathing was a little short.

Anyway, China should learn from the U.S. strategy, first spend money to purchase various resources from other countries, and seal up the domestic ones, so that they can be left to future generations.

Otherwise, it will not be easy to exploit domestic resources desperately, and when it is time for future development, there will be fewer and fewer international resources.Just like the iron ore imported by China, the world's largest importer is constantly being stuck on it. If you want to increase the price, you can increase the price. China can't say anything, but can only give it honestly.

"It can also be delivered with the proceeds of the oil field." The king said calmly.

Now that the price of oil has risen several times over before, one barrel of oil can exchange for several times more supplies. Who wouldn't want to?

China is a potential big user. If their country's economy continues to develop in this way, there will be more and more wealthy people in the country, and cars will be a very huge economic growth point.This is what the domestic analysis team in Saudi Arabia has seen. They don't want the entire country's economic lifeline to rely on a country like the United States.

With current oil prices, Saudi Arabia’s income has doubled several times a year, although after the crisis is resolved, oil prices will definitely fall due to the recovery of oil production in Iraq and Kuwait...

"The current price of oil is too high because of the war." Liu Yijiu meant it was obvious that the other party was not a fool.

So far, China has not established a national oil strategic inventory.

If oil is used to offset equipment costs, this is not in China’s current interests.

"Our domestic demand for oil is not very large. Although our share of imported oil is gradually increasing, we can still be self-sufficient." Liu Yijiu shook his head and said, "If we calculate according to the current oil price, it is obviously We have suffered too much..."

Even if you want Saudi oil, you can't suffer this loss, right?

"We are based on the national price of oil floating by 20%, how about? Half of the amount is converted to oil prices..." Fahd estimated that he was already prepared.

Liu Yijiu couldn't refuse these things he proposed.

Liu Yijiu gritted his teeth and calculated how much China would lose if the war lasted for a long time.

Benefits are the most important. The more oil, the better. China is currently making reserves. Such high prices are not worthwhile.

"Twenty percent is traded with oil!" Liu Yijiu gritted his teeth and said, "We both have a lot of oil in Iran and Iraq!"

"But Iraq's oil is now embargoed by the international." Fahd said with a smile, "We are considering it for you. You have to purchase resources when you get the money, which is only 20% less than the international oil price. It's already very good."

What he said is the truth.

This is a very rare opportunity. The international crude oil supply is currently being reduced by Kuwait's supply, and the price of oil has risen. More importantly, the world's important oil-producing countries are experiencing problems.

The oil supply of the Soviet Union was also invested in the international market.

The Americans continue to demand Saudi Arabia to increase oil production. So far, Saudi Arabia has been somewhat unable to hold on.

Obviously they can sell more money, and they have to lose their interests for the benefit of the United States. When the price of their crude oil has risen sharply, the Americans will sell them weapons and equipment to offset the excess oil price they have given.

Can Saudi Arabia have no opinion on this matter?

Therefore, this is the reason why they used this opportunity to purchase such huge weapons and equipment from China.

Anyway, fighters are basically dedicated to dedicated personnel, even if they are produced in the same country, the operations of different models are different.

After trying to understand all this, Liu Yijiu's worries disappeared. As for whether he would leak the secret, he didn't even think about it.

"After I wait for my return on this matter, we can exchange details. Or, you can negotiate with relevant government departments..." 12 billion US dollars, can't give up!
