"Director Liu, you should be very aware of the country's sensitivity to missile deals. And rocket artillery, this is not so sensitive. If possible in the future, we would like to purchase this number of missiles instead of rocket artillery. Although the rocket artillery has a fast rate of fire and great power, it is not good in terms of accuracy, and it is impossible to carry out precision strikes, especially the Guardian 1 rocket launcher with such a long range......" Prince Sultan said to Liu Yijiu helplessly.

There is an international embargo on these weapons.

In particular, the existence of the Batumi Embargo Committee is very strict about such matters at the international level.

Precision-guided missiles are inevitably restricted-level equipment, and there is no possibility of trading such a two-kick as the Dongfeng-3, which has a range of thousands of kilometers. China is the country that is most restricted by the Batumi embargo committee, and they did not join, so Saudi Arabia has a chance.

With the purchase of such a huge number of medium-range second kickers, if it buys thousands of short-range second kickers with a range of hundreds of kilometers, will Israel not be afraid?

Rocket artillery is different, although it is powerful, but it is expensive, and, in general, this thing is classified as a gun, not a missile.

Rocket artillery, although it is a rocket-propelled shell, is not a missile, just a shell.

After all, in this era, because of advanced technology and advanced performance of heavy equipment such as fighters and tanks, Western countries have begun to gradually eliminate artillery units with complex operations, high logistical requirements, and insufficient power.

The only ones that are unique are the socialist camps of the Soviet Union and China. It is still the ideology of the Continental Army, and what supports the Continental Army is powerful artillery firepower.

The outside world would never have imagined that the Chinese would be so desperate to develop rocket artillery with a range of more than 100 kilometers.

The world would not even think of it. Later, the Chinese were mad to the point of outrageous human beings, and the range of rocket artillery exceeded 400 km or even 600 km! That's not a missile, it's just a cannon!

Liu Yijiu also knows that many short-range missile launchers have been developed to look like rocket artillery, and there is not much difference between rocket artillery and missiles in essence. It's just that there is a difference in the accuracy of the strike. Of course, there are still many differences between short-range rocket artillery and missiles with a range of only twenty or thirty kilometers.

The question is. With such a large number of missiles exported, can the hearts of China's old men withstand such pressure!

"That being said, there is no explicit international embargo on rocket artillery. But only for ...... with a range of no more than forty kilometers," Liu Yijiu's brows were similarly furrowed.

Prince Sultan thought that Liu Yijiu was trying to raise the price. Immediately, he patted his chest and pounced on this greedy young man and assured: "Director Liu, money is not a problem, we can pay for the excess R&D expenses and modification costs." ”

336 rocket artillery, each launcher is six packs, one launcher is loaded with six long-range rockets, one hundred sets, that is, six hundred, plus each set is equipped with three times the number of spare bombs. That's 2,400 in total, which is a very large purchase agreement.

I don't want to say it. That's fake.

"Your Royal Highness, it's not about money. If we only add a part of the guidance system to the rocket, not all of it, this may be okay, if we need to modify all the rockets to have a guidance system, this is basically not very likely......" Liu Yijiu thought about it and knew that if he did not let go of his mouth on this, it would be difficult for the negotiations to continue, so he immediately changed his strategy.

"We don't want too much, all the 600 rockets on the 100 sets are equipped with guidance systems, and 600 spare bombs can be installed...... Sultan tentatively proposed that 1,200 precision-guided missiles with a range of 120 kilometers, plus 1,200 rockets used to deal with US imperialism and NATO countries, are a very important strategic force to be underestimated for the entire Saudi Arabia.

In the Middle East, there is only one country in the Middle East, Israel, even if they have such production technology, it is impossible to produce such a large number of short-range missiles in a short period of time.

What's more, once the war really starts, 1,200 rockets can be turned into precision-guided missiles as long as they are equipped with a guidance system.

Black!

Really black!

Liu Yijiu's heart was beating wildly, and these bastards in Saudi Arabia seemed to have far more ideas in their hearts than they should have.

With Saudi Arabia's military strength, thousands of missiles are mainly used to deal with countries like Israel and Iran, which are currently fighting with Iraq and have no energy to pay attention to them. Who else can there be in the surrounding countries?

Or, a large part of it was bought by Iraq.

If such a huge number of missiles are exported, the price will certainly not be as high as possible.

Immediately, Liu Yijiu shook his head and rejected the other party: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, such a huge quantity is not as good as the ...... we have produced the technology ourselves."

"If you can export production technology, there is no problem. Of course, the key core components still have to be procured from China...... "Crown Prince Sultan doesn't think there is anything impossible.

It's a good thing to be able to produce it yourself.

"It's not that we can't talk about technology exports, but the big question is, does Saudi Arabia have a lot of industrial bases to support it?" It's not that Director Liu looks down on Saudi Arabia's manufacturing capacity, but he is really worried that a country like Saudi Arabia can't even manufacture the most basic materials, and it is also unable to process some mechanical parts with relatively high precision requirements.

Liu Yijiu's words made Prince Sultan suddenly gloomy.

Saudi Arabia is a very large oil exporter, but most of their oilfield equipment is imported, even if some of the spare parts that can be produced and manufactured in the country are just machinery factories opened by foreigners in Saudi Arabia, and all the raw materials are imported.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, instead of this, I personally think that it is better to invest in some basic industries at the beginning, and when the industrial strength is raised to a certain level, I am considering the issue of independent production of these weapons and equipment. I wonder what you think? Liu Yijiu also knew that his words deeply stung the local tyrant.

"You tell me directly, how many rockets equipped with guidance systems can be sold, we don't need too high accuracy, 120 kilometers range, and the firing circumference progress only needs to be within 500 meters!" Sultan's idea in his heart was cut off, and the other party would not export the entire set of production technology at this time, otherwise, they would have completely cut off the export of weapons and equipment from the Chinese in this regard.

"240 pieces! The firing range can be increased to 140 km, but the weight of the warhead will be reduced by more than half, and the accuracy of the hit will be within 200 meters of circumferential diameter! "Liu Yijiu weighed it and broke out a data, more than 2,000 rockets, one out of ten mixed and matched, it is impossible to be found at all." Each one costs $800,000, and the other rockets cost $180,000. The entire system is available for $2.5 million......"

In order to export less missiles and more rocket artillery, Liu Yijiu was not too harsh on the price.

"1,000 pieces, we give $900,000 each, and $200,000 for each rocket. For the whole system, we pay according to 2.6 million dollars! Sultan saw that Liu Yijiu's offer was fast, and his counteroffer was even faster.

It's just that he didn't bargain, in order to get more quantity, he took the initiative to increase the price of each rocket equipped with a guidance system by 100,000 US dollars. If this is traded, the total contract value of 1,000 rockets equipped with guidance systems will reach $900 million.

Just here, plus the contract amount of Dongfeng-3 at the beginning, the contract amount of five billion US dollars, it is not far behind.

Moreover, among these prices, Saudi Arabia will pay hundreds of millions more than Sultan for such a counteroffer.

Internationally, there will never be such a precedent.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I said that this is not a matter of money!" Liu Yijiu smiled bitterly.

His heart was moved.

Very exciting.

The price of the same thing, just by adding a few computer chips, and then programming, adding some control lines and devices for actively searching for targets, will increase several times, and everyone is willing to sell weapons and equipment at a higher price.

The problem is that there are too many of them, and they are not a good thing for the reform and opening up of China as a whole, and for the model of peace that is in full swing.

Strategic weapons such as the DF-3 will put the whole of China on the cusp.

At that time, the US government did not show too much nervousness when it happened to encounter such a thing as the collapse of the Soviet Union, but only some politicians and congressmen were inciting public opinion, and King Fahd even forced the US imperialists to recall the US ambassador to Saudi Arabia from Saudi Arabia......

It is now a long time before the collapse of the USSR.

Saudi Arabia has purchased a second kicker such as the DF-3A from China, and it is impossible to keep it secret all the time.

Iran's sons and grandsons are bent on going to war against Saudi Arabia, which is much easier to clean up than Iraq. At the same time, Israel, with the support of Western countries, also wants to make a move on Saudi Arabia, whose huge oil fields are really tempting.

"Anyway, even if the guidance system is installed, these are still rockets, Director Liu, we will pay 1 million US dollars a piece and buy 800 from you!" There is nothing that money can solve, for someone like Sultan.

In particular, such a deal does not violate China's principles at all.

The DF-3 can export strategic missiles that shoot more than 2,800 kilometers in this way, and it is impossible not to export two kicks, they are just for the price!

"$1,000,000, six hundred! Couldn't have been more! Liu Yijiu's breathing began to become heavy, and his eyes were blood-red and he said to Sultan.

If the price rises a little more, let alone 600 pieces, even if it is 6,000 pieces, Liu Yijiu may have agreed.

It's not that Director Liu bent his waist in front of five buckets of rice, but that he couldn't bear the local tyrant in front of him to directly hit him with money!

can't stun him, but also can stun those bigwigs of the republic, anyway, the rocket artillery with the guidance system is still rocket artillery! (To be continued.) )
