Chapter 268: Saudi Garrison
Saudi Arabia is located on the Arabian Peninsula in the Middle East, bordering the Persian Gulf in the east and the Red Sea in the west, and bordering Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Yemen and other countries. Before the discovery of oil, Saudi Arabia was still a backward agricultural country, mainly relying on fishing and other livelihoods, when the discovery of oil, Saudi Arabia became an "oil kingdom", oil reserves and production are the first in the world, but also become one of the richest countries in the world.
The Middle Eastern countries, there are black gold buried under the land, which makes their country rich, and at the same time, they also have the disease of wealth, Saudi Arabia's army, the equipment is the best in the world, and the treatment of the army is also the best, so good that even the maintenance of weapons is carried out by foreigners, and their army does not have any combat effectiveness at all.
For example, now, under the manipulation of the United States, all oil-producing countries are increasing oil production, and the low world oil prices are to hit the economy of the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union relies on the export of oil in exchange for foreign exchange, and now, the oil under the permafrost of the Soviet Union is very expensive to exploit and has exceeded the selling price, and the Soviet Union is selling oil at a loss. This severely dealt a blow to the economy of the Soviet Union, and the collapse of the Soviet edifice eventually had a lot to do with this economic struggle.
Saudi Arabia is a monarchy, and the reigning party is King Fahd, who is the younger brother of the previous king.
When Mhammad and his entourage came to Saudi Arabia, they were cordially summoned by the Saudi king.
"Dear Mr. King, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan have shared a common belief for several years. Saudi Arabia is very grateful for its support for Pakistan's just struggle. Mhammad said.
"The Soviets invaded Afghanistan, and this is something that people with a sense of justice all over the world will feel indignant." "We support a just Pakistan and we support the Afghan people. ”
On this position, Saudi Arabia will not change.
"War. It will make the army stronger, and the army that has been nurtured by the fire of war is the real army. Mhammad said.
When Mhammad said this, King Fahd's face suddenly gloomy, Mhammad was very right, a country's army, only in the flames of war, will grow, and the army of its own country. Pampered and pampered, such an army is incapable of fighting.
And the Middle East region is not very peaceful, for example, the current Iraq is fighting to the death with Iran, and Iraq is constantly buying weapons and equipment. It has become one of the leading military powers in the Middle East.
Saudi Arabia and Iraq share a long national border, regardless of whether they share the same beliefs. In this case, Iraq will become a naked threat to Saudi Arabia.
Because King Fahd knows very well that in Saddam's heart, there is also a dream of unifying the Middle East, any powerful country. It is a nightmare for the surrounding neighbors, and only balance can make both sides feel balanced.
"His Majesty?" Mhammad asked.
Only then did King Fahd pull back from his train of thought and looked at Mhammad with a smile: "Mhammad, our army. The combat effectiveness is too poor. ”
"If you need it, we in Pakistan are willing to help, for example, send instructors to help your country train the army, for example, one of our infantry divisions can be transferred to your country to help you guard the border." Mhammad said lightly.
Pakistan's army is now absolutely strong, Pakistan's air force can beat the Soviets all over the ground to find teeth, this has been confirmed in front of the whole world, and the Saudi air force, Yishui's American-style equipment, and Pakistan's are the same, which means that Pakistani pilots can easily fly Saudi air force fighters to help Saudi Arabia fight, or help Saudi Arabia guard its airspace, not to mention, Iran across the strait may violate Saudi airspace.
This is not impossible, and in later generations, Saudi Arabia sincerely invited Pakistan to come to Saudi Arabia to station troops.
Of course, Mhammad did this, not only to help Saudi Arabia defend their country, but more importantly, to make money!
Sure enough, hearing what Mhammad said, King Fahd's eyes suddenly lit up: "If that's the case, then great!" We very much welcome instructors from your country to come to us to train our fighters! ”
"In the Air Force, we need a team of instructors of dozens of people to help us train pilots." King Fahd continued: "On the Army side, we would like to ask one of your armoured divisions to help us defend the border area with Iraq. As for the fees, we are willing to pay 100 million commissions every year, what do you think? ”
Saudi Arabia has a lot of money, and it rents dozens of people from an armored division and the air force a commission of 100 million US dollars a year, and this deal is naturally very cost-effective.
Of course, Mhammad will not transfer the genuine tank troops, as long as an infantry division is enough, Saudi Arabia is equipped, the main force is the American M60 tank, the M1 tank was purchased after the Gulf War, just converted its own infantry division into a tank division.
As for the Air Force, it can also familiarize itself with the performance of the American-made F-15 fighters, and for Pakistan, it is now a double win, and Pakistan has no need to shirk.
"Friends who are very willing to help us." "However, conventional weapons alone are not enough," Mhammad said. ”
This sentence of Mhammad made King Fahd another hanging.
"Israel is the enemy of all countries in the Middle East, and this country's army is the most powerful, and it has the full support of the United States." Mhammad said.
This is almost obvious, several wars in the Middle East, the surrounding Arab countries have contributed money and people, and as a result, after several battles, Palestine has not been established, but Israel has become bigger and bigger.
"Now, this country is developing nuclear weapons, as well as ballistic missiles, and if they succeed in developing them, no surrounding country will have the means to counter it." Mhammad continued.
This is not sensational, Israel is developing nuclear weapons, there has always been gossip, and their ballistic missiles are above board.
"Yes, we also want to import ballistic missiles from the United States, but unfortunately, the United States will export to us missiles with a range of less than 200 kilometers at most." King Fahd said.
Saudi Arabia and the United States are a quasi-military alliance, and the United States still does not support Saudi Arabia in this regard, and the United States will definitely not be satisfied if Saudi Arabia wants to introduce surface-to-surface missiles.
"Actually, His Majesty's eyes don't have to look only at the Western world." Mhammad said.
Don't just look at the Western world? What do you mean? When King Fahd came to his senses, did he mean the countries of the East? This country's ballistic missile technology is also very powerful, as long as you look at the other side's space industry, it is one of the few countries that can send satellites into space!
Moreover, now that the country is undergoing reform and opening up, it is very much in need of funds, Saudi Arabia has money, and there is no problem with the funds to buy, the key is this purchase channel.
Until now, Saudi Arabia has not had any contacts with Eastern countries, and in international relations, Saudi Arabia is still establishing diplomatic relations with Taiwan.
This seems to be a difficult thing to do.
"As far as I know, there is a medium-range ballistic missile in the eastern countries with a range of nearly 3,000 kilometers, and if it is equipped to Saudi Arabia, as long as it finds a desert area to establish a base, it can cover Israel, and even more so Iran, as well as Iraq." Mhammad said.
As soon as Muhammad said this, King Fahd was immediately moved, Israel and Iran are both enemies of the Arab world, and Iraq's Saddam Hussein has always been ambitious, and these are all things to be guarded against.
Ballistic missiles, this is a deterrent weapon, as long as there is, it can bring great shock to the enemy, even if there is no nuclear weapon, even if it is just an ordinary warhead, or a biological warhead, it can bring a huge deterrent effect to the enemy!
"We are very willing to introduce such missiles." King Fahd said: "Even if it costs a lot of money, it is worth it. ”
"If you are willing, we in Pakistan are willing to bring your country together." Mhammad said: "It's this thing, it's a strategic weapon, we have to operate, and there are some difficulties..."
"If you can get it for us, we're willing to pay $500 million in commissions for you to operate." King Fahd said: "We are absolutely not stingy when it comes to safeguarding our national security. ”
Waiting for this sentence, if you sneak the oil, maybe Saudi Arabia will find out, and will be dissatisfied with Pakistan, now, you can earn commissions, this money is not easy to earn, how many departments need to be dredged...
"If you really need it, we are willing to do our best to get you this missile." Mhammad said: "This matter must be kept top secret, and the Americans must not know about it." ”
"Of course." King Fahd said: "I will appoint Prince Sultan to take full responsibility for this matter, and when you have negotiated, let Prince Sultan go to the countries of the East." ”
"That's the best." Mhammad said. Saudi Arabia is really afraid that they will profit more from it, so they have to go to the Eastern countries by themselves, Mhammad knows that this matter is not too difficult or too difficult, because historically, Saudi Arabia has no one to introduce, so he ran away and sold it to them.
Julang 1 has been ashore and changed to Dongfeng 21, which is also a medium-range missile, which is a solid missile, hit and run, and Dongfeng 3 still has to be refueled, which is already lagging behind. (To be continued......)
