"Deal! That's 600 pieces! Sultan was naturally happy when he heard that Liu Yijiu agreed to sell 600 pieces, "The accuracy is 200 meters and the diameter of the circumference is enough, 400 pieces with a range of 120 kilometers, and 200 pieces at 140 kilometers......"

600 missiles with a range of more than 100 kilometers is already a very large number, and even China's domestic deployment of such missiles is not so many.

It's not just about money.

Moreover, this is also part of the US-Soviet nuclear agreement, strategic missiles belong to the restricted level of weapons, and the same is true of the tactical level, anyway, as long as they can carry mushroom bombs, whether they are tactical mushroom bombs or strategic mushroom bombs, they are all mushroom bombs, and they are all restricted from developing.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we hope that you will not transfer this batch of missiles to a third country, otherwise, it will bring us very big trouble." Liu Yijiu breathed a sigh of relief, if the other party bit the other party and had to ask for more missiles, he would eventually have to agree, and the number of rocket artillery would be constantly reduced. "In addition, we hope that you will pay for these missiles in cash just like the Dongfeng-3 transaction!"

Sultan was silent, the resale of weapons to a third country, this kind of thing will naturally not be said when the two sides negotiate, he has no opinion on this, but let them even pay for these conventional weapons and equipment in cash, there are more weapons and equipment to be imported from China, huge foreign exchange expenditure, for Saudi Arabia is also a lot of pressure.

Without the transfer of weapons, there is really no big problem. Later, as long as it all goes into their hands. Naturally, they have the final say, especially these small missiles, which will not be very difficult to maintain.

"Director Liu, I don't know how long it will take for these missiles to be delivered?" Sultan after Liu Yijiu agreed on the number of exports. After thinking about it, he asked Liu Yijiu about the delivery time, and then weighed whether to pay part of it in cash. "Perhaps, we'll pay with some cash?"

The sooner it is delivered, the sooner Saudi Arabia will be able to form a combat force.

Liu Yijiu measured that the production speed of rockets can only produce 1,200 rockets in a year. If a guidance system is to be installed, this will need to be studied for some time. The time is short, and it is simply impossible.

"If you pay in cash. Within three years, the rocket artillery could be fully delivered within 18 months, and the rocket artillery with a guidance system was re-improved and experimented with due to the need for re-improvement. Time is too short and there is no way. It is estimated that it will take three years to complete the delivery. Of course, if it weren't for the cash payment, it could have been longer......"

"Three years is too long! You promised to deliver 60 DF-3s within a year! "Sultan is gone.

He wished he could have these weapons and equipment as soon as they were negotiated.

Although China's productive forces cannot be compared with those of the United States and the Soviet Union, he believes that it will not take too long to produce these things.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the reason why we promise to deliver 60 DF-3 pieces within one year and let you form a certain combat effectiveness within at least half a year after the delivery is completed. This is because all the military industrial units under our military system carry out cooperative production. After all, our government takes this deal between us very seriously. billions of dollars in foreign exchange. This is very important for the process of reform and opening up that is now underway in our country. Liu Yijiu kept thinking in his heart.

How can we get Saudi Arabia to offer to use oil fields to offset part of the arms purchases?

Saudi Arabia's oil fields, not to mention oil production, at least compared to Iraq and Iran, are much more stable, and will not be shut down due to war or political factors.

When Iraq was beaten twice by the United States and international oil prices rose, Saudi Arabia's oil was the most profitable in the world.

"It doesn't seem to affect these rocket launchers with guidance systems, does it?" Sultanko isn't easy to fool around.

Liu Yijiu nodded, there was no way in his heart, Sultan would not take the initiative to use the oil field to offset their weapons purchases. I can only propose by myself that most of the weapons will be purchased in cash, and the remaining small part will be exchanged for oil fields, and as for the exchange of oil, Liu Yijiu will naturally not agree.

So, he needs to explain very patiently: "Your Royal Highness, the words are like this. However, our domestic production system is complex, and generally speaking, unless it is a strategic weapons R&D and production unit, we will develop and produce other conventional weapons. 336 rocket artillery, the use of missile manufacturing capacity, our country's space system all the production capacity will be transferred to the production of Dongfeng-3, the production of these large rocket artillery shells, can only be our Ninth Academy of subordinate units. Even if it is 1,200 pieces per year, the production capacity must be expanded several times! ”

The situation in China, the complexity of Liu Yijiu's own headaches.

Naturally, it was not something that Crown Prince Sultan could figure out.

"Isn't it a good thing for China to expand and increase production capacity?" Sultan asked Liu Yijiu suspiciously.

Liu Yijiu smiled bitterly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know that in the past 30 years, while China's industry has gone from nothing to having a perfect industrial system, just like the Soviet Union, it has been vigorously developing the military industry. The reform is to change this pattern, and many military production units in the country have been transferred to civilian production ......"

It's no secret.

Bandar arrived in China and should be well aware.

China's military production capacity, and now the entire production system, compared with Europe and the United States, are extremely poor, and the foundation is not very good.

"The reason why we ask you to make cash payments is not only because we need foreign currency, but also because we need to improve the productivity of our technical production system. These are all things that cost money...... "How to propose to let Saudi Arabia give oil fields, this Liu Yijiu didn't think about it, but he should give more cash." Absolutely indispensable.

"Why can the space system be completed in a year and you can't? Doesn't it mean that you are the most advanced military-industrial unit in the whole of China? Sultan was a little incomprehensible.

China's technological upgrade will definitely not be so fast.

There are still problems in this that he doesn't know.

"Because the space system is producing strategic missiles like the DF-3, which we have been producing for more than a decade. There is no need to expand the factory as we do in the Ninth Hospital, and we also have to upgrade the technical system...... Liu Yijiu explained. "That is to say, in order to deliver the DF-3 to you in advance and let you form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, we can produce it with all our strength and use the previous process, although this will make the production cost higher. None of this is a problem. Wait until the production is completed to upgrade the technology, but the production of 336 rocket artillery in our country did not take too long. So far, our country has only been equipped with two rocket artillery regiments......"

Liu Yijiu's words are a bit of a braggart.

So far, the Republic has been equipped with only two battalions, and the rocket artillery of these two battalions is still experimental in nature.

Not to mention. This was originally given by the military to the establishment of two battalions out of consideration for the Ninth Academy.

These two battalions. Subordinate to the Second Artillery Corps.

The Chinese military also classifies such weapons and equipment as strategic forces.

"There is no problem with cash payment, but Director Liu, your delivery period is up to three years, which is ...... in the international community" Prince Sultan's words were not very clear.

Internationally, such things are naturally rare.

Similarly, there has not been a single purchase transaction of this magnitude.

"It is possible to pay a part of the advance payment upfront and then according to the contract. How much we deliver, how much we pay......" Liu Yijiu did not ask the other party to pay all in advance on the rocket artillery. "But the payment for the DF-3 must be paid at least 70 percent in advance, and the same must be true for rocket artillery equipped with guidance systems!"

Liu Yijiu must insist on this.

The more cash payments you have, the better it will be for China as a whole.

And then there's the oil fields.

"There is no problem with this, but for the rest of the part, we want to ......pay for it with oil," Sultan asked tentatively to Liu Yijiu after weighing it.

When Liu Yijiu heard this, he was speechless.

Damn, don't you know that it's better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish?

What kind of oil, after the oil thing is used up, there will be no more, it is better to give an oil field or a few oil wells!

It seems that there is not much hope for the Saudis to take the initiative to give oil fields.

Liu Yijiu simply didn't care about anything else, and said directly: "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you also know that China's demand for oil is not very large, and the annual domestic oil production cannot be consumed by itself. Some of it is exported for foreign exchange ......"

Sultan's words were just a temptation, he didn't expect Liu Yijiu to refuse so thoroughly.

China's economic growth rate has begun to increase a lot, and the demand for oil is getting bigger and bigger, and using some of the oil to offset their arms purchases is also a very good thing when Saudi Arabia has withdrawn from OPEC to increase oil production.

However, Liu Yijiu disagreed.

Is it all paid in cash?

"Director Liu, although we have huge foreign exchange reserves in China, but our country is more oil, the current international crude oil prices are low, and exchanging oil for weapons and equipment is also a very good thing for your fast-growing economy......

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, we don't need oil too much at the moment. The reason why our government said that it agreed in principle to export Dongfeng-3 is because you proposed that you can pay in cash,...... "Liu Yijiu thought about how to say it in order to make it easier for the other party to accept," and the current international crude oil price is only 123 US dollars, tens of millions of barrels of crude oil, or even hundreds of millions of dollars of crude oil, not to mention how long it will take our country to use up, just transportation, for us, is a very huge problem......

What Liu Yijiu said really made Sultan embarrassed.

Although they withdrew from OPEC and kept increasing oil production to ensure the income of the whole Saudi Arabia, the growth of oil consumption in the world could not keep up with their increase in production, and the Soviet Union was also desperately trying to increase oil production.

That is, now Saudi Arabia has the problem of overcapacity in oil.

The extra production is transported to China, which is definitely a good thing for Saudi Arabia.

"Your Royal Highness, we can understand your difficulties. Paying with oil is not something that is easy for our top brass to accept. Liu Yijiu is also clear about Saudi Arabia's difficulties, and he conducted a comprehensive analysis when he persuaded the bigwigs, "It's not a matter of no way, but we have to change the way ......"

Liu Yijiu said at the beginning that it was not easy for the high-level to accept, which made Sultan's face suddenly gloomy, and when he said that there was no way, Sultan's eyes suddenly lit up, "I don't know what Director Liu's suggestions are?" ”

"Replace oil with oil fields!" Liu Yijiu said unceremoniously.

For him, the oil field is the real sweetheart.

Saudi Arabia's oil fields are definitely not easy to deplete.

Moreover, this is also the purpose of his here, and after such cooperation is reached with Saudi Arabia, it will be easier to negotiate with Iraq and Iran, and the other party will take the initiative to make such a deal without him taking the initiative.

Sultan frowned.

The appetite of the Chinese is really a little too big.

"Your Royal Highness, this is not because our appetite is too big, but under the current situation, our domestic oil production capacity is already overcapacity, and our top management will not agree to import too much oil, which will have a very big impact on our domestic oil industry......," Liu Yijiu continued to flicker.

The sulphur content of domestic oil is much higher than that of oil in the Middle East, and at the same time, the cost of domestic oil extraction is also higher.

But what he said is also true, once the domestic oil production is reduced, it will have a very big impact on the entire domestic oil system, and countless people will be laid off because of it!

After explaining these reasons, Sultan could understand, what he couldn't understand was that in such a situation, what Liu Yijiu wanted the oil field to solve!

"If we have oil fields in your country, we will be able to export oil production equipment from the country to Saudi Arabia, and at the same time, for transportation, the shipbuilding industry of our country will be able to have orders for the production of tankers...... In this way, it will provide a lot of jobs for our country, and the whole system will develop, and at the same time, it may also get more orders...... "The benefits of the oil field, which are all on the surface."

There is another biggest advantage that Liu Yijiu did not say, that is, if the Gulf War breaks out in a few years, the price of oil will skyrocket.

By the time the Americans beat Saddam, oil will soar to more than $100 a barrel!

How can a little oil satisfy Director Liu's appetite? (To be continued.) )
