Hearing Sihanouk say that he would use the special funds of the royal family, Liu Yijiu immediately smiled.

Others were a little moved.

These things are not a good thing for them. The amount of special funds for the Khmer royal family is not too much, and the total should be five or six hundred million US dollars, which was still saved by Liu Suxue at the beginning of Sihanouk.

This money will never be used until the life and death of the whole country is at stake.

Unexpectedly, Sihanouk used the money to purchase weapons and equipment from Liu Yijiu at this time.

"With money, everything is easy to do." Liu Yijiu said with a smile, he doesn't care about anything else, maybe the entire Khmer forces are looking for Sihanouk just for this money, so what? If they want to fight the red cotton, if they want to drive out the three elite divisions where the monkeys are still in the Khmer, they must have heavy equipment.

"But we must see the performance of these weapons and equipment!" Sihanouk said with a pained look on his face that he did not use the money even at the most urgent moment.

"Of course, all the equipment in service in our country, except for atomic bombs and strategic missiles, can do anything. Of course, I suggest that the focus is on our newly developed weapons and equipment, although they are expensive, but they are all great value for money......" Liu Yijiu said with a smile.

It has become his mantra that all weapons and equipment except for the atomic bomb and the strategic missiles that deliver the atomic bomb can be sold.

"Xiao Liu, are you thinking about this? After all, our base is in the most secret place, and it is a top-secret military industrial unit in the whole country......" Wang Shunyi grabbed Liu Yijiu, why did this kid take people to their lair to see the equipment at every turn!

In case of a leak. What to do?

It hasn't been long since the last leak, and the bigwigs above haven't fully dealt with it. And now let Sihanouk go to their unit, isn't this telling the Americans where their top-secret base is?

There are no problems with ordinary armament. However, there are many contents in the 619 top-secret project that must not be revealed.

"There is no problem, there is a way that is dark under the lights, and besides, our Ninth Academy is the number of the outside world, as long as we export weapons and equipment, foreign intelligence departments will definitely know. The Lonwei-1 was exported to Pakistan with 200 units, what do you think the Americans will not think? Liu Yijiu doesn't think there's anything worth keeping secret.

Instead of covering your ears and stealing the bell, it is better to go out publicly.

The Ninth Research Institute of the People's Liberation Army. Just a front for Project 619.

Now, they no longer belong to the Fifth Machinery Department, but are directly under the jurisdiction of the General Staff and the Logistics Department of the Central Military Commission. In fact, this is the greatest convenience given to them by the above.

Sihanouk knew a little about China's weapons development, and he obviously didn't believe that Liu Yijiu and they could be more powerful than many other research units in China!

When the time comes, see the performance of the weapon, and hit this kid again.

Some weapons and equipment produced in China with backward performance also dare to speak indiscriminately.

The M113 in the United States is priced at less than $200,000. Liu Yijiu and the others actually quoted $334,000, but after the discount, they actually got more than $240,000.

And the Type 63 armored personnel carrier, but it is less than 120,000 US dollars!

"Not to your R&D base? How to get to the north? Sihanouk didn't expect it at all. Liu Yijiu and the others took them to the Gobi Desert in the northwest.

China's Gobi Desert is home to some super key projects.

"First of all, please invite the prince to our weapons test site over there to see the new tanks and new armored vehicles we are testing." Liu Yijiu said with a smile.

There are no large aircraft in China, and the prototype of the Yun-10 has not yet begun its first flight, a domestic passenger aircraft. Most of them are still small Trident planes imported from the UK, this kind of aircraft. It is not too difficult to go directly from one city in the Republic to another. After all, numerous leaders of the republic flew most of the time on these planes.

The plane that took off from Rongcheng flew directly to the Gobi Desert in the northwest, which is not only far away, but now the temperature has begun to drop, and after the test in the northwest is over, it began to prepare to test the low temperature environment in the tank test site in the Far East.

Sihanouk is no stranger to Western Xinjiang.

When I was in exile in China, I visited most places throughout China.

"Your country's first generation of armored vehicles were all tested in the test site here, right?" 212 jeep, driving on the Gobi Desert without roads is very bumpy, and the speed is not very high.

In the endless Gobi Desert, except for the occasional poplar tree, there are basically only stones.

Of course, in the cracks of the stones, there must be some tenacious desert plants.

Before they could see the building, the people on top of the jeep heard the faint roar of the engine in the distance.

Hearing this, Sihanouk's eyes immediately lit up.

He didn't know about weapons and equipment, but he didn't expect that the roar of the engine would sound again in China's armored vehicle test site, which had been stopped for several years.

Perhaps, you may be able to get some surprises.

When the jeep saw the building, it was stopped by several soldiers carrying new Type 77 automatic rifles and wearing tawny camouflage uniforms that were different from those of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

After Liu Yijiu and the others showed their documents, the two soldiers saluted them, and then directly got on both sides of the leading jeep and led the convoy to the front.

"Why are these defenses so tight?" Sihanouk has been here, the Gobi Desert is deserted, when China first established this test site, for the sake of safety, the test site was built in the depths of the Gobi Desert.

In addition to the sky, from the ground, if you don't know the way, without a guide, it is difficult to get inside and then go out.

"Because it's not just a testing ground for armored vehicles!" Liu Yijiu naturally would not tell Sihanouk that they also have a special forces desert combat training ground here, which is newly built, mainly to train special forces to fight in desert terrain.

The Gobi Desert is close to the Taklamakan Desert, which is on the periphery.

"Liu, you're finally here, our guests are very interested in our weapons and equipment! They hope that we will be able to supply tanks soon! Before Liu Yijiu and the others got out of the car, a dark-skinned, bearded Central Asian rushed to Liu Yijiu's side excitedly.

This guy is the Pakistani military representative in China, Pressure Haq.

"Isn't that not yet complete?" The corners of Liu Yijiu's mouth twitched, and the big order came.

The Pakistanis had previously told them that some of the guests were interested in their Lunbo tanks and wanted to visit the production plant.

Liu Yijiu didn't take it seriously, after all, the Longwei was a tank jointly developed with Pakistan, and Pakistan has the right to sell weapons and equipment jointly developed by them to other sovereign countries.

The 541 production base is currently undergoing technical upgrades and transformations in this area, and their own production capacity is so low that the Chinese military has ordered 110 vehicles, and all of them must be delivered before 81.

The production pressure is very high.

After all, this is not a 59 tank that has been produced in China for many years, and some key parts and components need to be produced by the Ninth Academy!

Therefore, for a larger order, Liu Yijiu could not accept it in a short time.

He didn't ask who the customer was, but asked the Pakistanis to take the customer's delegation to their performance test base for a tour. It is to let the Americans know the various detailed parameters of their Longwei tank, and Liu Yijiu doesn't care, the real tank is the heavy tank they are developing!

"They felt that our tank was much more maneuverable and firepower than the Soviet T72, especially during the test, and its performance was very low, and it was much better than the tank in service......," Zia-ulk said excitedly.

Once this arms sale is concluded, Pakistan will be able to recover a significant part of the money invested in it.

At the same time, they also want to be able to obtain some production orders to reduce costs and increase the proficiency of workers.

"Arabs?" Before Liu Yijiu could say anything, he saw a group of bearded men in white robes and white turbans on their heads appear in front of him.

This is the Iraqis?

Wonder about the Iranians who just overthrew the Pahlavi dynasty?

However, this dress is the signature dress of the Arabs.

Anyway, Liu Yijiu is a little unclear about the dress of these Islamists in the entire Middle East.

"What's going on?" Wang Shunyi and Liu Suxue saw people dressed like this, and their faces were gloomy.

This is the tank they're testing!

"Fat sheep who sent money!" Liu Yijiu smiled bitterly and replied with a smile.

"Director Liu, the Iranians hope to be able to negotiate with us as soon as possible, and they hope to be able to get this new tank we are testing as soon as possible, and it is a full-model Luntui tank equipped with anti-tank missiles and anti-aircraft missiles in the back......" Zia-ulak didn't notice Sihanouk next to him at all.

English is the main language of communication, and Sihanouk can hear it very clearly.

"Zia, didn't you tell them that even if they placed an order, they wouldn't be able to get the tank in a short time?" Liu Yijiu's head grew up.

He knows the plight of these Iranians very well.

With Khomeini coming to power, Americans' support for Iran is naturally gone. The Soviet Union has always supported Iraq, and in order to promote its Islamic fundamentalist movement throughout the Middle East, Khomeini called on the Iraqi people to overthrow Saddam's regime. Let the Sunni-controlled regime in Iraq become a theocratic regime controlled by Shiites.

In the Iran-Iraq war, both sides have already begun to prepare. (To be continued......)
