826 It is so boring that the countries of Europe and the United States do not dare to act rashly
"How to get it?" The prince looked at Xie Kai, his thoughts were very complicated.
He appreciated Xie Kai's credibility in rejecting his proposal.
Internationally, whether it is the United States, the Soviet Union, or the developed countries in Europe, there is no credibility to talk about in the credibility of the arms deal, and if they are happy or the price is enough, they will sell it, and even if a contract is signed, in the process of delivery, other people give more profits, or see that the other party is not pleasing to the eye, so they will not deliver it under various excuses......
Saudi Arabia is also a victim of the European and American arms and equipment sales system.
There is money, there is no advanced weapons and equipment, China has no demand for their oil, and the deal with China, originally, they have been prepared for this.
Unexpectedly, they gave more profits, and the Chinese did not suspend the delivery of orders to Iraq to make more money first.
But the amount that can be provided now is too small.
"Your next-door neighbor. Xie Kai said, "They borrowed it in their hands, no, you borrowed so much money from them......"
Obviously, Xie Kai wanted the Saudis to go to the Iraqis.
Whether it is to buy from Iraq or to negotiate with Iraq, if China delivers it first, at least it will not damage China's reputation.
"Okay, that's it for now. The prince knew that there was no possibility, so he didn't say anything else, "I hope you will deliver the rest according to the contract!"
"Lord Wang, look, when will this contract be signed?" Zheng Yucheng rarely spoke.
He came for this contract.
"We have also read the details of the contract, it is very detailed and perfect, and we have no opinion, we can sign the contract now. "The prince did not continue to use the contract to blackmail Xie Kai, they gave priority to it.
"Your Highness, this time it was delivered ahead of schedule, and unlike what we talked about before, the Dihongqi-2 with a range of 480 kilometers is easy to have problems. The other party felt that there was no problem with the contract, but Xie Kai objected.
According to the original agreement, there was no problem.
Anyway, it's more than $20 million more.
Now it's different, to deliver the complete product directly to Saudi Arabia.
"The $20 million technology transfer fee was given to you, and the finished product was delivered directly, and we were too lazy to build the factory. The prince said casually.
Xie Kai wanted to say something, Zheng Yucheng was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, and if something happened again, he directly said that he would sign the contract immediately.
Anyway, he and Wang Guilin are here, and the official seal is with them, and as soon as the contract is signed, 3 billion US dollars will be in the pocket.
The entire transaction was designed to more than ten contracts, one contract for each weapon and equipment, listing in detail the technical requirements, prices, delivery methods, payment methods, etc., and detailed introductions and descriptions were made in both Chinese and Arabic languages, and there was no meaning on both sides, and it was directly signed by Zheng Yucheng, Wang Guilin and Prince Sultan on behalf of both parties.
At the scene, except for the photographers of the 404 propaganda department, there were no reporters from any media.
It is not a public transaction per se, and naturally there will be no publicity, and even both parties want to keep it a secret forever, and no one knows the best.
"Dihongqi-2 is delivered like this?" Xie Kai was most worried about this.
He knows that the "Missile Technology Control Treaty" is not so restrictive, but he is afraid of causing trouble to the national government, and in the international community, he often blames China for any reason.
The honeymoon period is coming to an end.
"If you don't deliver it like this, what will we do? They need it, and we can't give it away, right?" Zheng Yucheng said.
"What if they use this directly?" Xie Kai is worried about, "Once Saudi Arabia has such a long-range Hongqi-2 missile, it will cause strong dissatisfaction among Western countries." ”
"Do you really think that the Saudis will let them come? Besides, they will directly destroy the missile launch sites and missile depots in South Yemen? The price of oil is high, which is not a bad thing. Wang Guilin is not worried about such a thing, "At most, they also used the Dihongqi-1 with a range of 240 kilometers at the beginning." ”
High oil prices are in the interest of oil-producing countries like Saudi Arabia.
The economy of European and American countries has nothing to do with Saudi Arabia and other countries.
Regarding the complex international environment, Xie Kai feels that he really knows too little and too little.
The prince of Sultan was gone, and he did not wave his sleeves or take away a single cloud.
Four sets of flying shield-359, four M-80 273mm rocket launchers with a range of 70 kilometers, and some missiles were dragged to the southern port by a train driven by a diesel locomotive that still burned diesel from the 404 station on the night of the prince's departure.
On this train, everything is covered with camouflage nets, and every carriage is guarded by soldiers with loaded guns and live ammunition......
Of course, the prince also waved his hand and left $3 billion.
"It's almost the final exam, and you don't review it seriously......" For Xie Kai who was listless all day long, Mo Qi understood the situation, although he often ate and studied with Xie Kai's dormitory, but those students were different, they were all studying other courses on their own.
Originally, Mo Qi was not worried about Xie Kai's studies.
From the signing of the contract with Saudi Arabia, the entire 404 project has increased capital investment, and the whole system is busy, Xie Kai has nothing to do all of a sudden.
I don't have the heart to study.
"Alas, where is the mind now?" Xie Kai was really irritable, "A year ago, the procurement of program-controlled switches for the domestic post and telecommunications system was called tendering, and now, half a year has passed, and there has been no movement; Saudi Arabia's weapons are in place, and in order to sell their oil at a higher price, they have never done anything to South Yemen; the South Yemeni government is also a mouthpiece, Nima, clamoring every day to blockade the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and it will not ......do anything."
"What does this have to do with you?" Mo Qi almost cried angrily, "I failed the exam, and I couldn't get my graduation certificate." ”
"If you can't get it, you can't get it. Xie Kai said indifferently.
He's anxious right now.
I always feel that there is something big in 87 years that I should be able to make a profit from.
But I can't think of anything.
The more chaotic the Middle East, the better, and it is better for the Soviet Union and the US imperialists to fight a local war directly in South Yemen, so that perhaps the already terminally ill Soviet Union can survive for a few more years, and let them accept more heritage from the Soviet Union, right?
At the same time, he is afraid that the development of history will deviate from the direction, and if the Soviet Union is reborn from the ashes, then how can he get people and technology from their country?
Contradictory, isn't it?
In such a situation, where can he still have the heart to study, even if it is the study of the highest university in the country that countless people dream of, Xie Kai really does not have much interest.
While Xie Kai was worried, Prince Sultan was also worried.
The first batch of weapons purchased by China, although small in number, is not small.
It's been a week since they arrived in Saudi Arabia, but they found that although the operation of these things does not seem complicated, let their soldiers operate it, but it is not like that at all!
In a short time, it is simply impossible to accurately hit the enemy.
Damn the Americans, constantly put pressure on them.
How good it is to keep international oil prices growing slowly and steadily.
"Your Majesty, are the Americans here again?" said Prince Sultan, who looked haggard when he saw his brother.
"Sultan, are you here?" the king had just been distracted, and after motioning for Sultan to sit down, he asked the maid to bring him coffee, "How is it going? When can we do something about the missile base in South Yemen?"
"Your Majesty, haven't the U.S. special forces found their positions? Didn't the previous plan be to use fighter planes to carry out air strikes?" Sultan was puzzled, "We can use this opportunity to get the Americans to deliver the F-15 to us as soon as possible." ”
"They said that the delivery of the F-15 could not be brought forward, the production side could not be satisfied, and our pilots, they also said that it had not yet reached the level of independent mission...... "The king was helpless. "US Secretary of State George Pratt Schultz is getting tougher. ”
"We are not vassals of the United States!" Sultan was somewhat dissatisfied with the king's attitude.
They are a sovereign state, and the U.S. government actually ordered them to quell the war in South Yemen.
"Sultan, I know what you think. If there is a problem in the US economy, it will affect the whole of Europe and even the whole world, and now our oil exports are already declining. ”
The increase in economic costs will lead to the shrinkage of many businesses due to high costs.
"So what?" said Prince Sultan, who was extremely dissatisfied with the attitude of Europe and the United States in this matter, "and they are not willing to provide equipment, nor are they willing to do it themselves. ”
The king looked helplessly at his brother and smiled bitterly.
Sultan knows better than anyone what the consequences will be if Europe and the United States take matters into their own hands in the Middle East.
If the United States made a move, the Soviet Union would have a reason to do so.
"We must urge Saudi Arabia to take action against South Yemen as soon as possible, once it really affects shipping in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, it will not be a good thing for anyone, except the Soviet Union!" U.S. Secretary of State George Pratt Schultz said to several white men with solemn expressions in the top luxury suite of the Riyadh Hilton. ”
They didn't expect at all that the cause of the incident was only because Saudi Arabia asked for a Patriot missile defense system in order to buy missiles.
"The rise in oil prices is a good thing for Saudi Arabia, they will not do it honestly, and if they do, it will even make the war more unfavorable to us. A balding man in his fifties said.
In fact, everyone knows these words.
"The most important concern now is how to resolve the conflict in Yemen as quickly as possible......," said George Pratt Schultz, "and there is no need to say anything else." Can't be a gun for the damned Soviets, they're screwed!"
The intelligence services of European and American countries are stepping up their activities in the Soviet Union.
The domestic economy of the USSR was no longer able to support itself, and now it was just surviving.
In the event of a war, the Soviet Union would bring destruction to the world.
