After Qi Yiming finally saw the draft contract that Zhou Yutong brought back, his head was still buzzing, and with his IQ and EQ, he couldn't understand how things evolved like this after they reached the worst.

"I really didn't mean to slaughter the Saudis." He said to himself with a smug smile and a pretended kindness.

In addition to the projects that they handed over to Zhou Yutong before, the Saudis also added 20 FBC-1B fighters, 4 Y-12 light transport aircraft, 24 Z-20 medium utility helicopters, and 1,000 Qianwei-2 and Qianwei-3 portable anti-aircraft missiles to the entire contract. Naturally, the total contract amount of these is less than 7.8 billion, and in the end, in order to make up all the 7.8 billion, Bandar irresponsibly called it for the Chinese side to recommend, but in fact it has no effect.

Qi Yiming thought for a long time, and gave the Saudis 100 ZBD-97 tracked armored infantry vehicles, 600 Red Arrow-73C anti-tank missiles, and 4 battalions with a total of 108 WM-80 foreign trade multiple rocket launchers.

These two types of equipment are really not good things, but they are better in quantity and quality, ZBD-97 and M2 Bradley are definitely not enough, but it is no problem to reach 80% of the combat power. As for rocket artillery, it is the traditional area of strength of China's munitions, and in later generations, WS-3 leads the ranks of advanced rocket artillery in the world, but NORINCO's WM-80 is really not a particularly good thing. This rocket launcher, sold to Saudi Arabia, was improved, with a 273mm eight-barrel launcher mounted on the body of the ZBD-97, which enhanced its maneuverability and protection. The rocket launcher also added some later inertial navigation techniques, which were much more ferocious than the WM-80, which only sold 4 sets in the original timeline.

Looking at this well-written contract, Qi Yiming still felt that he was much more generous and reliable than the British. The first stage of the total price of 7 billion Al? Yamaha agreed, and the British exchanged 72 Tornado, 60 trainers, 1 small civilian airliner, and hundreds of air-to-air missiles and anti-ship missiles. Of course, a significant part of this is going back to the Saudis as kickbacks.

On the other hand, Qi Yiming's list covered more than 400 military aircraft, thousands of missiles, and more than 200 armored vehicles and rocket artillery. And not only did he feel conscientious, but the Saudis who had been cheated on money also felt that he had a conscience, and King Fahd, who finally made the final decision, looked meaningfully at Prince Sultan and his younger brother who came to submit the details of the contract, and said: "We were deceived by Westerners before, and we exchanged $7.8 billion for so many things, and doing business with Chinese is really a cost-effective thing!" ”

Prince Sultan was in a sweat on the spot, because he was not embarrassed to speed up the king's majesty, and he and his son, as well as corrupt people, large and small, were still asking for a billion dollars in kickbacks in this agreement.

Saudi King Fahd said worriedly: "Since the Air Force has bought more than 400 planes at one time, we are afraid that we will not be able to operate them." ”

Prince Sultan immediately praised his son Bandar and said: "We have signed a labor employment contract with the Chinese, and if necessary, all weapons can be operated and trained by the Chinese, and we need to pay an acceptable amount to hire them." I have heard that the discipline of Chinese soldiers and workers is exceptional, that they rarely leave their workplaces, and that they are not as lazy as Westerners and us Middle Easterners. ”

In fact, Saudi Arabia has hired foreign military and technical personnel, and King Fahd thought about it and thought that it was no problem, and he explained in passing: "We still have a deal with the Chinese about ballistic missiles, how is it going?" ”

"The Chinese agreed to sell us medium-range ballistic missiles Dongfeng-3 and tactical missiles B611, their offer is relatively high, 50 Dongfeng missiles cost 3.5 billion, the price of B611 is very affordable, a single missile only needs 1 million US dollars, the accuracy is also good, both in terms of preparation time and hit rate, it is stronger than the Soviet Scud, but these missiles with a range of 150 kilometers do not pose much threat to imaginary enemies such as Israel and Iran, which are close to us, but can be used on the battlefield." Although Prince Sultan is a little greedy, he has a little level after all, and what he says is more reasonable.

Iran is hundreds of kilometers away from Saudi Arabia, separated by the Persian Gulf and Iraq, and they are also separated from Israel by a Sudan, even if they fight from the bordering areas, they can only threaten part of Israel's southern region, and the deterrent power is still not enough.

Of course, it is not that China does not have other short-range tactical missiles, but that Qi Yiming, after weighing it up, did not provide Saudi Arabia with B611M and P-12 missiles with a range of about 300 kilometers, or M-9 (i.e., Dongfeng-15) missiles with a range of about 600 kilometers. The B611M and P-12 were originally adapted to the lack of fire coverage of about 300 km in the PLA, so these things were modified on the basis of the DF-15. However, later the Defender series rocket launchers replaced the 200-300 km firepower projection, which not only did not inferior in accuracy to ordinary short-range tactical missiles, but also had a much higher firepower density than ordinary tactical missiles. So the B611 and these things became export weapons.

Of course, not selling to Saudi Arabia is not a broom for self-cherishment, but a consideration of the international situation. 50 DF-3s are enough deterrents, but selling hundreds of B611M to Saudi Arabia is a knife directly on Israel's neck, and the United States will never allow this kind of thing to happen. The sale of Dongfeng-3, in fact, is behind the promotion of international politics, and the United States also chooses to turn a blind eye, but a group of B611M is absolutely impossible to export to Saudi Arabia in large quantities. Qi Yiming still has this bit of eyesight, so he simply doesn't make trouble for himself, just sell the B611 without extended range.

King Fahd deeply felt the "righteousness" of the Chinese and said to Prince Sultan: "Obviously, China has a very strong industrial manufacturing capacity and the largest army in the world, and at the same time, it is a close ally of our Islamic brother Pakistan, and can also become an important arms supplier for our Saudi Arabia. Counting on the United States and Europe alone, we will be slaughtered very badly, and it has become clear in the past that with China's strong participation, both Europe and the United States will definitely improve their own conditions in order to keep us, which is a good thing.

Well, we have not yet established formal diplomatic relations with China, which is very detrimental to future exchanges between the two sides. Prepare for it, let's try to get in Arles? Prior to the formal signing of the Yamaha Agreement, a formal diplomatic channel was established with China. ”

Prince Sultan added: "But because of the dispute between Chinese mainland and Taiwan, they will not become our diplomatic relations at the same time, and if we want to establish diplomatic relations with China, then Taiwan must break off diplomatic relations." ”

King Fahd rightly said: "It's nothing, we signed more trade agreements with China this time than we have with Taiwan in the past few decades." Besides, we still have a lot of people-to-people exchanges with China, our mobile communication network was built by Chinese companies, and there are many more to come, and there is no need to affect more important relations because of a small Taiwan. After all, China is one of the P5. ”

Prince Sultan also deeply agrees that if exchanges with China can be increased, then at least Saudi Arabia will have another arm in the Security Council. The United States sometimes stands behind Israel, Saudi Arabia has been disappointed several times, Britain and France belong to the role of soy sauce and basically follow the voice of the United States, the Soviet Union is a lonely person and is not easy to contact, and China is in the middle position, just to fight.

Qi Yiming hasn't seen Liao Huairen for a long time, Al? When the dust was about to settle on the Yamaha agreement, Qi Yiming met this guy who had been busy recently in his small courtyard of Jingshi.

At this time, the spring has unveiled a thick veil, a trace of warmth and warmth on everyone's heads, although the temperature is still somewhat low, but the willows have budded, sparrows are running and jumping in the yard, have their own fun.

"Comrade Liao, you've been so busy lately that you can't even see you." Qi Yiming happily handed him a cup of tea and invited him to take a seat.

Liao Huairen shook his head helplessly, took the tea and said: "I have now become your full-time butt wipe, you sold 60 fighter planes to South Korea, North Korea is about to turn the sky, diplomacy and our secret work are constantly ventilating North Korea, Kim Il Sung specially sent an envoy to ask us if we are going to establish diplomatic relations with South Korea." The old man directly told them that it is impossible for neighbors not to have contact with each other for the rest of their lives, but we will not establish diplomatic relations with South Korea so quickly, and now inform the DPRK so that you can be prepared, and for you, who are also socialist brothers, our support must be more. ”

Qi Yiming smiled and asked, "What do the North Koreans say?" ”

"What can you say? It can only be said that the Chinese comrades have their own plans, and we try to understand and believe that the Chinese comrades will not betray the interests of the DPRK. ”

Qi Yiming laughed and said: "This is a soft threat, if you want me to say that they can't make too big waves, they just toss themselves." ”

Liao Huairen shook his head and said, "North Korea is still our key ally in Northeast Asia, and it is an important buffer zone to block the power of the United States. Chairman Ping approved 50 J-6s and 30 J-7s that we retired and gave them to the DPRK as military aid this year, which proves that we support them more than South Korea, and we just want to make money for South Korea. ”

Qi Yiming hugged his stomach and smiled, and said, "Hehe, it's okay to send it away." "North Korea's long-term military equipment, especially high-tech equipment, has relied on Chinese military aid, and most of the time Kim Il Sung told China that you should help us, and then China will send the equipment. Although it looks silly, this is also helpless, at least it can have some effect. But later, this kind of aid became less and less, and in the 21st century, basically China's aid was only civilian supplies.

Qi Yiming smiled and said: "If you help, you will help, my crushing crane will start to eat J-5 and J-6 now, and if you don't help, it is estimated that there will be no such things in the future." Hehe, this reminds me to see who wants these things now, and do favors, stir up and stir up the wind and rain. ”
