On the outskirts of Riyadh, Prince Waleed's official residence.

Although Prince Waleed has dozens of estates of all sizes under his name, there is only one "official residence", because it can only be called an official residence if it is allocated by the royal family.

And, of course, a manor.

Magnificent, luxurious, and magnificent, it shows the respect and wealth of the royal family everywhere.

In fact, the mansion originally belonged to Waleed's father.

Unfortunately, because of the ostracism of the rest of the royal family, Waleed's father has not lived here since he left for Lebanon.

The wounds had been properly treated, but Prince Waleed remained weak.

Although he is Mohammed's cousin and belongs to his peers, Prince Waleed is almost sixty years old, more than twenty years older than Crown Prince Mohammed.

I'm afraid he'll have to stay in bed for a few months.

Probably unwell, after a polite exchange of greetings, Prince Waleed handed over a draft document to Wang Dong.

Wang Dong didn't look closely, he glanced at it and handed it to Serena.

If nothing else, it is the approval of D&F to open an ammunition production plant in Saudi Arabia, not to be precise, because it has not yet been approved.

Of course, stamping the seal of the Saudi authorities is nothing more than a trifle.

"You don't have to worry about financing. I've asked people to draw up a contract, and if there is a special need, you can bring it up so that it can be written into the contract in advance. My personal opinion is that the loan is guaranteed by the royal fund, and the interest is paid by a government subsidy. ”

"Your Highness, this is too much, isn't it?"

Although Wang Dong doesn't understand finance, he knows that if he really wants to do this, it will be for Prince Waleed to take out billions of dollars and let them play.

"Two billion dollars, is it enough?" Waleed was crisp.

Wang Dong was slightly stunned and glanced at Serena next to him.

"Enough, more."

"That's good. If it's not enough, it can be increased. ”

Serena had a feeling of crying and laughing, this is the local tyrant.

"Of course, I also have a request."

Wang Dong nodded, putting on a deaf look.

"Either way, deliver on your promise to produce the latest guns and firearms in Saudi Arabia, the only one in the world."

"This ......"

"Of course, not including Huaxia." Waleed paused slightly, and then said, "It's just that, I hope, we can be the first to put production in Saudi Arabia." ”

Wang Dong didn't give a clear answer, just nodded.

In addition, the DF762 series of firearms still has to continue to be produced. If possible, it will be put into production at the joint venture plant as soon as possible. ”

"The foundation stone of the factory has just been laid, and even if it is built at full speed, it will be ......"

"That's not a problem." Waleed interrupted Serena's words and said, "I have sent someone to Huaxia to hire the best engineering company at a great price. ”

At this point, Serena had nothing to say.

If you want to talk about engineering construction, you can really only find an engineering company in Huaxia.

It's not a boast, Huaxia's strength in engineering is absolutely the first in the world, not to mention emerging countries, even the old industrial countries in the West are a lot behind.

"Even then, it will take at least half a year."

"Half a year at most." Waleed looked at Wang Dong and said, "Within a few days, the Ministry of Defense will send you a contract for additional procurement." Production at the Edinburgh plant will continue until the joint venture plant is put into operation. As long as the output can be guaranteed, the price is negotiable. ”

"Your Highness, is this necessary?" Musharraf finally couldn't help it.

"What, you're worried that you won't get the money?"

"No, of course I don't mean that, I ......"

"Your Highness's meaning is very clear, we all understand." Wang Dong gave Musharraf a look in time, and then said to Prince Walid, "After I go back, I will make arrangements to suspend other operations, concentrate all resources, and give priority to completing the orders of the Saudi military." ”

"Also, send a technician as soon as possible. After the completion of the joint venture plant, in order to put into operation immediately, it is necessary to train skilled workers in advance. ”

"No problem, I'll keep Mulla in Saudi Arabia and be in charge of this."

"It's not early, let's go have lunch first."

At this time, Wang Dong realized that it was already noon.

Although Prince Waleed graciously retained, Wang Dong was not so uninteresting, knowing that it was just politeness, so he found a reason to decline the invitation.

Billions of dollars in hand, still care about a lunch?

After leaving the residence, Wang Dongcai gave Musharraf a rough overview of his judgment.

Obviously, increasing the number of purchases and speeding up the refitting of troops was not the idea of Prince Walid, but the decision of Crown Prince Mohammed.

This move is more to protest to the United States.

If you look at the long term, you won't lose money.

Purchase DF762 series firearms first, then the withdrawn standard firearms, that is, the current firearms of the Saudi Army, can be used for military assistance after processing, such as providing to the Yemeni government army or the Syrian ** army, to expand Saudi Arabia's regional influence.

A few years later, after the mass production of countersunk ammunition and the delivery of countersunk firearms began, the removed DF762 series firearms could also be used for military assistance.

Because the joint venture factory will be put into operation half a year later, the DF762 purchased in the later stage will not be expensive.

In addition, the factory is in Saudi Arabia, and the production line and skilled workers are also in Saudi Arabia, so how much DF762 will be produced in the future is not up to the Saudi royal family?

As long as the war continues to spread in the Middle East, this production line will be of vital value.

In fact, political value alone cannot be measured in monetary terms.

You know, in the decades after the end of World War II, there were only five countries that could go around with weapons to provide military aid, that is, the five permanent members of the Security Council.

As for other countries, at best, arms can only be trafficked through legal channels.

Not only heavy weapons such as tanks, artillery, warplanes and ships, but also firearms.

Germany, for example, has the world's largest firearms factory, the H&K company, but it has never exported arms to war-torn areas.

It's not that you don't have that ability, it's that you don't have that qualification.

Prior to this, Saudi Arabia, Iran, North Korea and other countries were engaged in military aid, but it was all carried out secretly, and they absolutely did not dare to do it blatantly.

In addition, Saudi Arabia's daring to engage in military aid has also been tacitly approved by the United States.

As for Iran and North Korea, they have been sanctioned by the United States for a long time, and not only do they not take the United States seriously, but they also engage in military aid to create trouble for the United States.

Besides, if you don't engage in military aid, you will be treated as an "evil country" by the United States, so why not make some extra money for yourself?

From this point of view, what Saudi Arabia needs to do is not to get an arsenal, but to take a big step.

Wang Dong couldn't think of the consequences of this move, and he didn't think about it.

Maybe there will be sanctions, but what is there to be afraid of?

As long as Wang Dong's identity is exposed, D&F Company will suffer more than sanctions, and there is no way out, so let's do it!
