Chapter 807: Arms Trade (9)
As soon as the Saudi prince saw Yao Yi, he smiled and said, "Respected Prophet of the East, on behalf of my father, I would like to express my sincere respect to you, and at the same time, I would like to express my sincere respect for you for maintaining peace in the entire Middle East. β
Yao Yi said with a smile: "I'm afraid His Royal Highness the Prince didn't come to me today just to express his gratitude. β
"I know from inside sources that you are selling weapons in large quantities, and they are ready-made, and you can get them in stock as long as you get the money," the Saudi prince said. β
Yao Yi said with a smile: "Yes, I have too many weapons and equipment in stock, and I need to clear the warehouse, which weapon does His Royal Highness the Prince like?"
The Saudi prince said with a smile: "In the Gulf War a few years ago, I witnessed the F4 fighter modified by you, and its combat effect is stronger than that of the F16, especially the airborne rocket system you installed, which fascinates me even more, not only the F4 fighter, but also the armored vehicle on the ground, once the vehicle-mounted rocket system is installed, its power is doubled tenfold." β
Yao Yi said with a smile: "It seems that you are interested in the rocket system, not my aircraft and armored vehicles. β
The Saudi prince said: "The prophet of the East has misunderstood me, I know that these rocket systems are your most important support, and in the war, with which they defeated the invincible United States and the arrogant Russia, so I know the importance of these systems to you." However, I have heard that both the Iraqi army and the Iranian army are equipped with vehicle-mounted rocket systems. β
Yao Yi said: "This is good, but the number of their equipment is not large, and it will not have any major impact on your Saudi Arabia, I think that you Saudi Arabia is under the military protection of the United States, and you don't have to worry about Iraq still having the ability to attack you." β
The Saudi prince sighed and said: "The American GIs want to be supplied like a master, and if you want to purchase some advanced weapons and equipment from them, you can guard us like a thief, and this is what I hate the most." However, this is not the case with the Prophet of the East, and it can be seen from all kinds of things that the Prophet of the East is sincere to us in the Arab world, and that 'communion' with us is an equal status, not a downshoeal attitude, so I hope to further strengthen the relationship with the Prophet of the East, especially in the military field. β
Yao Yi said: "I'm afraid this is not too suitable, after all, you Saudi Arabia is now under the protection of the United States, and there are some things that I am not good at 'interfering', now everyone knows that I am sheltering Iraq and Iran, and the Americans are sheltering you Saudi Arabia and other countries on the Arabian Peninsula, so it is inconvenient for me to 'intervene' in this matter, and even, if you don't do it right, it is likely to bring irreparable losses to your Saudi Arabia." β
The Saudi prince thought for a moment and said, "Isn't the prophet of the East willing to sell us weapons? We want to be your biggest buyer, and our country has enough oil in exchange for your stockpiles of weapons." β
Yao Yi thought for a while and said: "Weapons can be sold to you, but this kind of sale can't make the Americans feel a little threatened, and the only thing I can sell you is second-hand modified weapons from the United States, as for Soviet-style weapons, I'm afraid there is nothing I can do." β
In fact, the Saudi prince is interested in the second-hand weapons of the United States that have been equipped with rocket systems, after all, these weapon systems can be purchased from the United States, and they can also be purchased from Yao Yi.
The Saudi prince said: "The weapons you sold me must be equipped with rocket systems." β
Yao Yi said with a smile: "Of course, if there is no rocket system, those weapons are toothless tigers." However, with my rocket system, it is like a tiger with wings, and even the Americans are afraid of these weapons, and they are bent on strangling them in the cradle. β
The Saudi prince asked, "Prophet of the East, how much are you willing to sell to us this time?"
Yao Yi asked, " To be honest, for me, I can sell as much as I want, it doesn't matter, after all, there is no economic dispute between us and no national contradictions, plus you have abundant oil, you can sell as much as you can to you, but this is just my own wishful thinking, I am afraid that the US government may not agree, so this matter also depends on the communication between your government and the US government, if the US government is not willing to let you have too many weapons, I am afraid you can have it even if you want toγ β
The Saudi prince smiled and said: "The Eastern Prophet filtered, we do have a military alliance with the United States, but the United States does not have the right to restrict us from purchasing weapons and equipment, besides, even if we do, so what? Could it be that they and the United States will not let us destroy it? As long as the Eastern Prophet can withstand the pressure of the West, we have no problems, and you don't have to worry about this aspect." β
The Saudi prince deliberately 'provoked' Yao Yi in this way, and he also knew in his heart that Yao Yi was very disdainful of the Americans, and even in some ways, he was working against the United States, and now, the United States did not want Iraq and Iran to exist, but Yao Yi was the patron of these two countries.
Yao Yi saw the Saudi prince using the 'agitation' method, and thought: "You don't need to 'provoke' me, I will sell as many weapons as you want, but the key question is whether you can withstand the pressure yourself." If you Saudi Arabia strengthen their military strength, it is natural that Iraq and Iran will also strengthen their military strength, so that my other equipment will not be used. However, what worries me now is that you will not be able to withstand the pressure of the Americans and finally give in. β
Yao Yi thought of this and said: "Since you are not afraid of the pressure brought to you by the Americans, and you don't need to worry that I will yield to the United States, but I also have a peace agreement with the United States, so the United States can't help me at all. β
The Saudi prince took this opportunity and hurriedly said: "In this case, this is our military purchase order, do you see if we can sell all this equipment to us? At the same time, we can ensure the logistics and maintenance of this equipment?"
After Yao Yi glanced at it, he was taken aback and said: "My God, your Saudi appetite is really big, I have 3,000 F4 fighters, and you have to take 1,000 in one go, and there are also American second-hand armored vehicles, which are as high as 5,000, almost half of all my American second-hand armored vehicles, so many weapons and equipment, you Saudi Arabia are really not afraid that the United States will give you an emergency?"
