Chapter 516: Ballistic Missiles Needed

"Your Majesty, although the Iraqis are a little arrogant, the news that has been revealed is also very clear, and we want to solve the current dilemma, which is to stop the measures to increase oil production. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Prince Fahd said to King Khalid: "In this way, the Soviets will naturally open the exit of the Persian Gulf as well." ”

No matter what happens, it depends on the essence, the Iraqis must be able to be so aggressive because of the Soviet Union behind them, and the Soviet Union has found a grandiose excuse to encircle the Persian Gulf, which is the current condition.

King Khalid pinched his forehead with his hand and said to Prince Fahd: "Yes, in fact, when the Soviets first started to set up checkpoints, we could think of the purpose of the Soviets, and the Soviets just wanted to force us to bow our heads and make us choose between the United States and the Soviet Union. ”

This is a difficult choice, for decades, Saudi Arabia's defense policy, has been tilted towards the United States, after all, the United States is a Western country, the economy is developed, the military strength is also strong, at the beginning, it was under the leadership of Saudi Arabia, the establishment of the petrodollar system, so that the United States can continue to prosper after the collapse of the Bretton Woods system after the war.

But now, the situation is beyond what Saudi Arabia can afford.

"The United States is getting weaker and weaker in Carter's hands, and we have to get through this time. After the new President Reagan takes office, they will readjust their Middle East strategy, relying on our Saudi Arabia, which will not be able to directly confront the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union's current invasion of Iran has completely damaged the interests of the United States, and the United States will absolutely not sit idly by. Prince Fahd said.

"At any given time, we can't rely entirely on outsiders." King Khalid said: "Now that Saddam Hussein's military strength is too strong, we must have a killer weapon that can stop Iraq's military provocations in case the dog jumps over the wall." ”

King Khalid's words made Prince Fahd stunned, Saddam, do you really dare to attack your YSL brothers?

"Saddam's wings are full." King Khalid said: "He was an ambitious man, and his dream was to restore the glory of the Babylonian empire that had been." ”

King Khalid's words were a little low, but Fahd's body trembled, he already understood the king's concern, now, other YSL countries, although the army equipment is very strong, but in terms of real combat effectiveness, it is extremely weak, and it is not enough to compare with the Iraqi army that fought the Iran-Iraq war.

If Iraq really uses the oil issue as an excuse to challenge other countries, how will it respond? A killer weapon is a must!

What is a killer weapon? First of all, of course, nuclear weapons! However, there is no need to think about it, it is impossible for nuclear weapons to spread to Saudi Arabia, even if Saudi Arabia has more money, and the United States will not let Saudi Arabia have nuclear weapons.

Then the rest, ballistic missiles! It is a delivery vehicle for nuclear weapons, and it can also have other warheads of mass destruction! Saudi Arabia, such weapons are needed!

"I know, Your Majesty, I will contact the United States as soon as possible, hoping that the United States can export this weapon to us." Prince Fahd said.

Now, all the weapons of Saudi Arabia are made in the United States, and when preparing to buy new weapons, the first country to consider is, of course, the United States!

At the behest of the request, the Saudi ambassador to the United States, Prince Bandar, personally came to see President Carter.

Now, it is the end of the 80s, the results of the US election have come out, President Carter has lost the election to the letter, everyone has no hope for President Carter, waiting for the next President Reagan to come to power and solve these messes, and what President Carter needs to do is to stand on the last shift.

Having laid down all the baggage and leaving the mess to President Reagan, Carter now feels a little lighter.

"Your Royal Highness, you are very welcome." The United States has always been very polite to the big Saudi dogs. President Carter looked at Prince Bandar and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"That's right, in order to maintain the stability of our country and prevent foreign invasion, we need some new weapons." Prince Bandar said.

"That's right, our U.S. arsenal is open to our Saudi allies, and you can choose what weapons you need." President Carter said.

The United States has indeed done this, and Saudi Arabia can buy any weapon it wants from the United States, even if it is the most advanced E-3 early warning aircraft and F-15 fighters in the United States, the United States can export them to Saudi Arabia.

"We need ballistic missiles." Prince Bandar was also very direct: "We don't know when we will clash with Iran on the other side, and we need to have weapons that can deter them." ”

The internal disputes of the YSL countries, or don't publicize them well, you can't tell the Americans that they are for Iraq, right? Iran is a mortal enemy of the United States, and Iraq's invasion of Iran can be regarded as a favor for the United States, so the media in the United States have also portrayed Saddam Hussein as a hero.

"We need ballistic missiles." Prince Bandar said: "Can your Pankhin ballistic missiles be exported to us?" ”

The Pankhin ballistic missile is the most advanced solid ballistic missile of the United States, with a range of thousands of meters, which is enough to deter Iranian inland targets, and can directly hit the Strait of Hormuz from the Saudi desert.

"I'm sorry, ballistic missiles belong to our equipment that cannot be exported, you can think about our attack aircraft?" President Carter refused.

Joke! Ballistic missile? How is it possible for the United States to export ballistic missiles to Saudi Arabia? Moreover, this ballistic missile, which has a range of more than a thousand kilometers, is enough to deter Israel! Although Saudi Arabia has a good relationship with the United States, the United States will never forget that in the fourth Middle East war in 73, because the United States supported Israel, Saudi Arabia united with other oil countries to impose an oil embargo on the Western world, causing oil prices to soar! In other respects, the Saudis are more obedient, however, when it comes to Israel, it's different.

Israel, on the other hand, is the pro-son of the United States and a pawn buried by the United States in the Middle East. The United States can arm Saudi Arabia, but it must not make Saudi Arabia strong enough to directly deter Israel!

Ballistic missile! This kind of attack weapon, developed after World War II, is almost impossible to intercept because of its high speed! The way to maintain equilibrium is to want the other side to launch the same missiles to achieve mutual harm, this thing, of course, cannot be exported! (To be continued.) )
