729 Chinese weapons and equipment build a three-dimensional defense network in Saudi Arabia
"Sixty-five million US dollars, but conventional weapons must be sold with bundled and sold. Fighters, tanks, long-range artillery, helicopters, rocket launchers, etc...." When sitting together again to negotiate, Liu Yijiu took the initiative to reduce the price directly from the 68 million US dollars he had been insisting on to 65 million US dollars.
There were no other conditions before, but now it has started to increase.
Sixty two kicks, each with 65 million, the total value reaches US$3.9 billion, which is far beyond the expectations of the top military leaders and the government. Moreover, the price negotiations here are still loosening by US$400 million.
Although the other party doesn't care about money, 400 million US dollars is not a small amount of money.
Especially when international crude oil is only more than ten dollars per barrel, it takes $40 million to sell more than 20 million barrels of crude oil!
If possible, maybe Saudi Arabia will pay directly with crude oil.
"Director Liu, I don't know how much it will cost to raise the conventional weapons you proposed to sell in bundled!" Prince Bandar couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when Liu Yijiu's price was loose.
If they really need a 2-tip of 70 million US dollars per second, the total value of the more than 40 pieces needed by their own country is not too high. The problem is that he reached an agreement with Alex Kshay, and the agreement must be approved by the king. If the king does not agree, they have to negotiate with China about the transaction price of 45 2-tips.
The Chinese are even likely to raise the price of second kicks to $100 million per piece.
"Not much, the total contract amount is enough for more than 5 billion US dollars!" Liu Yijiu did not make things difficult for the other party. "Before, you proposed to be interested in our Long Guard tanks, Z-91 helicopters, 336mm Guard rocket launchers and other weapons and equipment. If these contracts can be signed, we can make major concessions at the price on Dongfeng!"
A set of 336 rocket launchers, excluding the firing command vehicle and other supporting facilities, Liu Yijiu quoted three million US dollars.?
The price of a 336 rocket with a range of 12o kilometers is $50,000, which is much cheaper than a Scud missile with a range of only 45 kilometers and just over 100%.
Although the accuracy is a little worse and the precise guidance of missiles cannot be achieved, it is indispensable for the strategic missile force that the entire Saudi Arabia is about to form.
One hundred sets, which Prince Bandar himself can decide.
Rather than talking to China about missiles with a range of dozens or hundreds of kilometers, it is really worse than rocket launchers, and the charge volume of these rocket launchers exceeds 400 kilograms.
"Warning equipment should be rationed and sold by you or should we choose on our own initiative?" Prince Bandar frowned.
He had never expected that the Chinese would also put forward conditions in this regard.
If the Chinese were to give them weapons and equipment, would they not cry to death?
"Of course it's up to you to choose. Similarly, even if you help your allies purchase, there is no problem. The premise is that you will lead the negotiation..." Liu Yijiu's condition was basically aimed at the right to import Iraqi weapons in Saudi Arabia.
During the Iraq-Iran-Iran War, Iraq and Iran purchased a lot of weapons and equipment. Liu Yijiu changed history and exported weapons and equipment to Iran from the beginning, and performed very well. Now that we are preparing to continue exporting to Iraq, we naturally need Iraqi die-hard allies like Saudi Arabia to do it.
Therefore, his condition is the most not the condition.
"Director Liu, there should be no problem with this matter, but we need to go back and ask the king and Prince Sultan's opinions..." Although Prince Bandar knew that this was not a harsh condition, and they also had a large purchase order, they had to go back and report to King Fahd and listen to the king's opinions.
Unlike other countries' strategic weapons research or procurement plans, Saudi Arabia's plan to purchase second skirting and even mushroom bullets this time was not promoted by senior military officials, but by King Fahd himself.
The king is the most powerful person in Saudi Arabia, and he firmly insisted on buying a second kick and even a mushroom bullet. The people below should implement it. It is enough to meet the king's needs.
The Chinese will definitely sell the second kicks, and the mushroom bullets are also famous, but the Chinese offer is a little higher.
"Of course there is no problem with this. Of course, if you really pay attention to this point, I hope you don't wait too long. China's domestic production plans are based on national defense needs. To produce such quantities, it takes a process. Once the current international situation is missed, the state of the US-Soviet standoff is reduced, and the Argentina crisis is resolved, and the transaction will become a problem..." Liu Yijiu did not force the other party to sign a contract now and pay the advance payment.
Prince Bandar and his group left China directly through Pakistani plane. He did not take his own special plane to China, but always passed through Pakistan.
Fly from Pakistan, then return from China to Pakistan, and then arrive in Saudi Arabia.
In the palace, King Fahd, who was not aged, listened carefully to Bandal's report. As the crown prince and the first deputy minister in the country, Prince Sultan, commander of the Saudi Strategic Air Defense Force, was also sitting there.
There was no fourth person in the entire conference room.
"This price is much less than we expected! Since they have to make the conditions before the price is reduced, why not just purchase Dongfeng-3 directly at a price of 70 million US dollars?" The king was a little dissatisfied with Bandar's decision.
The Chinese actually put forward conditions to them, and they were selling them in bundled manner.
Prince Sultan did not change his expression, but signaled Prince Bandar to continue speaking.
"His Majesty the King, the Chinese quoted 70 million US dollars at the beginning, and they probably guessed that they had guessed our bottom line. In this regard, I think the Chinese are still very kind. The reason I think they should agree to their bundled sales conditions is because we can obtain a weapon in China that can effectively improve our national defense deterrence, a rocket launcher with a range of up to 12o kilometers, which is cheap and has a strong carrying capacity..."
Since Bandar saw the 336 rocket launcher of the Guardian type, he said a hundred sets.
When Sultan heard this, his expression changed immediately.
"Are you sure this is a rocket launcher, not a missile?"
"Yes, Commander! I have seen this kind of rocket launcher in their production workshop. Chinese people are good at everything, but if we want to watch live ammunition shooting, we have to pay for it ourselves... This time I was busy. At the beginning, I didn't expect that Chinese people had such things, so I didn't see the live ammunition shooting effect of this kind of rocket launcher..."
"You have seen them with your own eyes that are not mushroom bombs, but cloud bombs that can produce the effect of mushroom bombs? Can we have such a bullet?" The first ruler of any country has an almost paranoid fanaticism about mushroom bombs.
Only by having such a world-leading weapon can you stand up straight when speaking internationally.
"Yes, here is the video I brought back, which I saw at their test site. The Chinese did not make any fakes on it, because less than half an hour after the explosion, I followed them to the explosion center to watch the effect." Bandar brought back the test video of the heavy cloud bomb.
After hearing this, King Fahd and Prince Sultan immediately lit up their eyes and asked Bandar to play the video they brought back to them.
When watching the video, there were only three of them, Prince Bandal served as the commentator, and the video contained a conversation between Bandal and Liu Yijiu...
"Can their rocket launcher with a range of 12o kilometers carry such a warhead?" Prince Sultan saw the heavy cloud bomb dropping and exploded. After the rising mushroom cloud, his whole body breathed rapidly.
"Yes!" Bandar nodded seriously, "The two explosions in the video weigh 2.1 tons, with different focus..."
"Compared with this warhead on the guard type?" King Fahd also became interested in this conventional mushroom bullet.
"I don't know that they did not test fire such a small cloud bomb. However, during the Sino-Vietnam War, the Chinese once fired dozens of 336 rocket shells with a much smaller load of drugs. An elite Vietnamese division was wiped out. The Americans and the Soviets knew this. If the other party did not lie, we can obtain the detailed process of this incident through our intelligence system..."
"There are also the Dragon Guard tanks and other conventional weapons on their binding contract?" Seeing Bandar nodding, King Fahd's original anger was gone. They wanted to buy a spear missile with a range of 45 kilometers, but they were rejected by the Americans. Now that there is a rocket launcher with a range of longer ranges, they will naturally not let it go. "We should have a good talk with Saddam's officials..."
Prince Sultan nodded, but he had his own opinions.
"His Majesty the King, perhaps we should import a batch of conventional weapons and equipment from China. Their tanks have air defense capabilities and can strike armored targets. At the same time, they purchase a batch of their armed transport helicopters to strengthen our national defense construction. Even if the Dongfeng-3 missile we have cannot deter the enemy, we can have stronger combat power. The advanced weapons of the Chinese people are beyond our imagination. As a long-range threat, the 336 rocket launcher can be directly used as medium- and short-range fire support. The three-dimensional defense network composed of Longwei type and helicopters ensures national defense security at a close range..."
"In other words, we use Chinese weapons and equipment to build our three-dimensional defense network..." (To be continued.)
