After understanding the situation, Wang Dong couldn't help but sigh.

Crown Prince Mohammed was still on fire and did not notice Wang Dong's expression.

In fact, the mood of the crown prince is completely understandable.

Tens of billions of dollars are spent on military construction every year, and those high-ranking generals are even more pampered on weekdays, but now when it is time to use troops, none of them can solve problems for the crown prince, and if Wang Dong is replaced, he will also be angry, and maybe he will send all those generals to prison in a fit of anger.

"Your Highness don't worry, this is not necessarily a bad thing."

"Isn't that a bad thing?" Muhammad raised his head and said to Wang Dong, "You must know that eighty percent of our oil exports pass through the Strait of Hormuz, and oil exports account for ninety percent of our country's total foreign exchange earnings. If the Strait of Hormuz is blocked by Iran, we ......"

"Surely nothing like this will happen."

The crown prince was slightly stunned, but also kept his mouth shut.

"Attacking oil tankers of other countries in international waters and waterways is a flagrant violation of international law and is extremely egregious. His Royal Highness is right, Saudi Arabia's losses are very heavy, but the same is true for many countries that import oil from Saudi Arabia, including Huaxia. "I can guarantee that by tomorrow morning at the latest, the Iranian authorities will clear their name, claiming that it was a mistake, not against a certain country, let alone an act of war, and that they will guarantee that nothing like this will happen in the future." ”

"But ......"

"Obviously, it was not a mistake, and Iran did this, in fact, to make a mistake to His Highness."

"Make a mistake?"

"If you don't know this, how is Your Highness going to take revenge on Iran?"

Muhammad was secretly shocked and looked at Wang Dong in disbelief, because before that, he was indeed considering launching a targeted retaliation action.

"I dare say, it's definitely a hit on Iran's offshore oil platforms."

"This ......"

"Of course, Your Highness may have thought of it, and even if you don't think of it, someone will bring it up, such as those generals who began to be driven out by Your Highness."

The crown prince sighed and nodded again, indicating that he understood what Wang Dong meant.

"And then?"

"Iran attacked our oil tanker, we must retaliate, otherwise we ......"

"How else? Is there a difference between attacking Iran's offshore oil platforms and attacking Iranian mainland? When the time comes, who will sympathize with the Saudis? ”

"We don't need sympathy."

"Your Highness!"

Muhammad gritted his teeth, but kept his emotions under control.

"Your Highness, what Saudi Arabia needs most now is sympathy. Don't forget, just this afternoon, there was a terrorist attack against His Highness himself. This incident made Saudi Arabia a victim of a terrorist attack, and it also made Saudi Arabia gain the sympathy of almost all countries. On the contrary, Iran, which called for an attack on Saudi Arabia, has become the main culprit, so morally, the vast majority of countries will stand by Saudi Arabia rather than with Iran. ”

"This ......"

"Victims are more likely to receive sympathy, and therefore more support from the international community."

Muhammad let out a long breath and was noticeably calmer.

"Sometimes, it's not because you're weak. Only the truly strong will not care about the eyes of others, let alone the external performance. Whether a country is strong or not is not determined by its position, but by internal, more critical factors. ”

"You're saying we should show weakness?"

Wang Dong nodded and said: "Not only to show weakness, but also to seize and use this opportunity to make the world believe that Saudi Arabia is a victim." ”

Muhammad pondered for a moment before nodding slightly.

"Of course, the war will not end immediately because of this, so we need to think about more realistic issues. Now, there are three main threats. One is Iran's ballistic missiles, the second is Iranian troops entering Iraq, and the third is maritime security. As long as these three issues can be dealt with, we can hope to win this war within a few months, at least with a great degree of certainty of achieving an outcome that is favorable to us. ”

"Is there a good way to deal with it?"

Wang Dong nodded and said, "In response to the first threat, His Highness has to continue to ask Pakistan for help." If I'm not mistaken, Pakistan has acquired three FD2000 air defense systems, and all of them are the latest improved models, equipped with HQ-200B missiles with a range of 9 kilometers, with certain anti-missile capabilities, and their combat effectiveness exceeds that of the 'Patriot 2', but only slightly lower than that of the 'Patriot 3'. ”

"The price is definitely not small."

"The key is the price, and we will take care of the other aspects."

Muhammad pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "Price is not a problem, and I believe that Pakistan will not fall into the trap at this time." ”

"Your Highness, it's not so serious." Wang Dong smiled bitterly and said, "Of course, if you can, you will also strive to obtain some 'Land Shield' close defense systems." ”

"What?"

"The 'Land Shield 730' close defense system, a rapid-fire gun similar to the 'phalanx', is mainly used to deal with unguided munitions such as large-caliber rockets."

"Is this necessary?"

"Your Highness, Iran has not only ballistic missiles, but also Tornado long-range rocket artillery. What's more, ballistic missiles are worth a lot of money, and it is too wasteful to use them to attack tactical targets. As the scale of the war expands, especially after the Iranian army officially enters the war, long-range rocket artillery will definitely be used. At that time, such close defense systems will be needed to protect the front-line troops, especially the camps that are vulnerable to attack. ”

"Pakistan too?"

"Not for the time being, but Pakistan can come forward to purchase from China. As far as I know, Huaxia probably has dozens of sets of 'Ludun 730' in stock. ”

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away, and I'll have to bother you too."

"There are also field air defense systems, as far as I know, the Royal Saudi Army does not have field air defense systems in the real sense of the word. After Iran's entry into the war, the air threat must be taken into account. ”

Muhammad was obviously a little embarrassed, after all, the cost of buying so many arms must be frightening.

"Of course, His Highness should communicate with other Arab League countries that have sent troops as soon as possible, after all, this is everyone's business, and His Highness should not bear all the pressure alone."

The crown prince was slightly stunned, and then laughed.

Obviously, he had been thinking about Saudi Arabia and not Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Jordan.

You must know that these four countries, especially the first three, are also rich oil tyrants, even if they are not as good as Saudi Arabia, they are not far behind.

Now that Iran is embroiled in the Iraqi civil war, it is only natural that these countries have to take on more obligations.

If you can't send troops, you can pay more money, that's a matter of course.
