"As you might think, our military-industrial system is not very good, even poor, in the whole world. Of course, this is the whole, and in a certain way, we are not bad, if not good. Regarding your country's national defense and security, army building, Prince Bandar does not know whether there is a report, but I personally agree with his ideas. That is, to build a three-dimensional defense network! Since Liu Yijiu told the people of Saudi Arabia from the beginning that the future war will be an information-based line-of-sight war, the mechanized troops will obviously not be able to meet the needs of the future battlefield.

"If according to your assumption, if our army purchases a large number of your country's conventional weapons and equipment, plus our existing weapons and equipment from Western NATO countries, the requirements for the entire command system and logistics system will be very high...... "Sultan is not an easy person to fool."

What Liu Yijiu said is good, but judging from the current situation, if weapons and equipment are purchased from various countries, the problem of light weapons is not very big, after all, there are not many firearms needed in the whole of Saudi Arabia.

But heavy armament is different.

Training, logistical support, and so on are very difficult to achieve in terms of combat capability.

"That's not a problem. Although our weapons systems are different from those of NATO countries and the Soviet Union, and the other side will not agree to open up and cooperate, the system is compatible, and I think you can study this on your own. Saudi Arabia's national education level is relatively high in the whole world, and personnel in this area should not be a problem......" Liu Yijiu flickered the local tyrant while patting his ass. "In addition, you can purchase a certain type of weapons and equipment for a certain system from only one country. It's much less difficult that way......"

Naturally, Liu Yijiu had a better suggestion, that is, all weapons systems should be purchased from China.

But let him be thick-skinned, such a thing. I was embarrassed to bring it up at this time.

"Do you mean that all of our weapons systems are to be purchased from China?" King Fahd was already very unhappy with Liu Yijiu, and now he asked Liu Yijiu unceremoniously.

Liu Yijiu immediately shook his head, "Your Majesty, although Saudi Arabia has sufficient funds and can purchase any weapons and equipment, the question is. If you want to buy, can you find a seller? How much did it cost your country to purchase the F15 from the United States? At least. The Chinese side will not have any political strings attached to arms sales! ”

This is true.

China will not expand its hegemony on the global scale, let alone be as shameless as the United States. What to say about the situation in the Middle East has a bearing on the strategic security of the United States. Meantime. They will also attack certain countries that have affected their interests because of the so-called grievances or something.

"I personally think it's good to buy all from China." Liu Yijiu himself was not ready to say it, but King Fahd said it, so naturally he was not welcome. Someone gave a pole and didn't know how to climb up the pole, which was a bit unkind.

Not to mention anything else, just the procurement of weapons and equipment from countries like Saudi Arabia is for many military industrial enterprises under the Chinese military. I can't eat enough, but at least I can hang on to my life.

Twenty years passed before entering the twenty-first century. Although China is the world's third largest arms exporter, its share of the world's total does not exceed 10 percent!

Such a situation must not be repeated in this era.

Otherwise, Director Liu must have come for nothing.

It is not enough to just use all the equipment of the PLA in Africa and some small countries in Asia.

The local tyrant Saudi Arabia is a start.

"In terms of light weapons, we have the Type 77 automatic rifle that is not inferior to any country in the world, and the sniper rifle has been tested in war...... In terms of heavy weapons and equipment, we have the Z-91, and how well it performs, Prince Bandar knows best. There are dragon guard tanks for heavy weapons on the ground, so I don't need to introduce this too much, right? ”

Although the Longwei tank and the Z-91 were blocked by Prince Bandar on the grounds that there was no air conditioning, which would make their soldiers suffer or something, now these problems are not a problem at all.

There is no air conditioning fridge that could be improved.

"Of course, last time Prince Bandar also pointed out some shortcomings of our tanks and helicopters, such as no air conditioning inside, no refrigerators, which will make your fighters suffer or something, these are not important, we can improve them quickly."

"Director Liu, please don't change the topic, you'd better convince me now, otherwise, our negotiations will end here!" Fahd interrupted Liu Yijiu with a frown.

Liu Yijiu has never been on topic.

He didn't think those words would move him. The only thing that can make him feel good is Liu Yijiu's statement that there will be no political conditions attached to China's sale of weapons and equipment to Saudi Arabia.

Now China lacks foreign exchange, so it will bind sales, but in the future, when China's economy develops, it is estimated that there will be no such thing.

"Especially your tank, although the combat performance is advanced, but it is still a medium tank, although it has destroyed a lot of T72 in the battlefield, but in the face of heavy tanks, it is also difficult to defeat ......" King Fahd does not understand military affairs, but he still knows the most basic common sense. Otherwise, he would not have given the order to equip the Saudis with strategic missiles. "The more advanced the tank, the heavier it has to be. The reason why the Dragon Guard tank is now able to defeat Soviet and American tanks is because of your design. The tanks of the Americans are not finalized, and the Soviets are also almost twenty years old, and no one knows what about their latest tank T80......"

When Liu Yijiu heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes.

He has always felt that the Longwei tank is a bit chicken, so the military of the Republic is ready to equip it on a large scale in China after seeing the performance of the Longwei tank on the battlefield between Iran and Iraq, using the Longwei tank as an arrow, and matching the height and low, so as to improve the 59 tanks and 69 tanks with a huge number of domestic equipment.

The 79 tank, which had already been finalized, was finally stopped by the military and continued to work on more advanced ones.

The Longwei tank, with a tonnage of less than 40 tons, although it has a strong combat capability, that is when facing tanks of the same grade. On the battlefield between Iran and Iraq, in the face of heavy tanks such as the T64B and M1, which weigh more than 60 tons, although they can break through the opponent's defenses, they are far less sharp than the T72 and T54/55 tanks.

Therefore, after the Longwei was finalized, Liu Yijiu instructed the Ninth Academy to study a new generation of heavy tanks. That's the Republic's truly high-end top-of-the-line main battle tank.

High and low matching, this is the direction of development of the military of the republic for a long time in the future.

Otherwise, all the tanks that have been desperately produced since the founding of the People's Republic of China can only be decommissioned, mothballed, or consumed. In that case, the huge land area of the republic needs to be protected, and the huge military spending will bankrupt the whole country!

"Your Majesty, we are currently working on a more advanced battle tank. According to preliminary estimates, the weight will exceed 70 tons, the firepower will be more powerful than that of the Dragon Guard, and the increase in combat performance cannot be disclosed at this time. According to our strategy, we intend to use heavy tanks as the top cutting-edge force, Longwei as the mid-end combat force, and a large number of Type 59 tanks and Type 69 tanks in service in our country as low-end forces. At the same time, the Z-91 will be coordinated, professional armed helicopters and transport helicopters will be developed, and various missiles and rocket artillery will be coordinated to establish a three-dimensional territorial defense field...... "Liu Yijiu described the grandeur and magnificence, which King Fahd and Prince Sultan are yearning for.

Saudi Arabia's defense has existed since the establishment of the state.

However, it has not been systematically built and developed in this way.

This is the sorrow of small countries.

Just as Liu Yijiu said, if you have money, you can't buy national defense.

"How high can your helicopter go? True three-dimensional, with higher skies and outer space! "China does not even have an early warning aircraft, and the air is always facing a major threat from the Soviet Union, and the security of the capital cannot be guaranteed.

"We can only keep this question secret......" Liu Yijiu smiled mysteriously.

At present, there is no, when the republic's Beidou system is developed in advance, at that time, the US imperialists and Su Xiu will know that they are not able to monitor the world.

It's just that the local tyrants in front of you need to provide funds.

"It was a really good choice for us. Sultan, what do you think? After Liu Yijiu left, the king and the crown prince also recalled Prince Bandar, who was negotiating the details of the Dongfeng-3 missile deal in the air base.

After Bandar reported, he said that he really wants to use China's conventional heavy weapons and equipment to build the entire Saudi homeland defense system.

DF-3, Guardian 1 rocket launcher, is part of this system.

However, his status is too low to say what he thinks, otherwise......

"China's heavy tanks, no one knows when they will come out, and the performance of the Longwei tank is not very advantageous in the face of the heavy tanks of the United States and the Soviet Union." Sultan also frowned and said, "But some of their helicopters can indeed be purchased to cooperate with tank operations, and target guidance for tanks and ground armor clusters and even our rocket artillery units, which will effectively improve the accuracy of strikes......"

"We can also purchase some of the Longwei tanks, at present, the domestic AMX-30 tanks have completely lagged behind, and the Americans have been delaying the M-60A3 Patton tank export project because of Israel. Now, it's clear that China's Longwei is a better fit for us than Patton......" Bandar offered his own opinion. (To be continued.) )
