"All-wheel drive, using a 1,500 hp engine, can reach 70 mph on road and 40 per hour off-road, even if only two sets of tires hit the ground, you can walk." Musha'f also came down and said on the sidelines.

"Okay, that's a good car!" Prince Sultan said: "Can I see it in action? ”

"Absolutely." Mhammad said.

Prince Sultan climbed into the wide wheelhouse, which was devoid of any plastic, all iron bumps, typical Soviet style.

"Buzz, buzz." As the engine was started, Prince Sultan felt a tremor, this large vehicle, about to start!

A missile soldier of the launch squad followed and got into the car, started the vehicle, and drove the seven-axle off-road missile launcher to the outside.

Khalid got into the second car and set off.

The vehicle quickly drove out of the base, the mountain road outside was still rough, and Prince Sultan was soon covering his eyes.

When turning, a lot of the time, the front wheels are dangling! Only a few rows of wheels in the back hit the ground, and when you get to the back, it's almost not a road, sometimes even a ditch, and you just pass, this off-road ability, better than a tank!

After all, the tank has a limited length, and the tank can't pass through a trench that is wider than half the length of the tank, and this off-road missile launcher is nearly twenty meters long! Five or six meters of trench, the driver didn't even look at it, and drove straight over.

Prince Sultan felt a churn in his stomach, he was old after all, and it would be a shame to vomit it here.

Fortunately, there is already an open space ahead.

Here, it's a makeshift launch site! When the car came to a stop. Pakistani missilemen jumped out of their vehicles and made rapid preparations.

Behind, there were several vehicles of the same chassis, and immediately after they stopped, soldiers in chemical protective suits began to drag the pipes. Connect with missiles.

Dongfeng-3 is a liquid missile, because the fuel is corrosive, can not be stored in the fuel tank all the time, only when launched, will be refueled in advance, and now, every exercise, although not really refueled, or in accordance with the requirements of actual combat.

After the raise is complete. The hydraulic outriggers at the bottom of the trailer prop up the vehicle, and the hydraulic cylinders behind it raise the missile to the vertical position, and the launch enters the countdown.

Khalid, who followed closely, kept nodding, and he was quite satisfied with this kind of chassis all the way!

Then enter the launch control room in the second row of the chassis. I saw that there were LCD monitors inside! Several soldiers skillfully maneuvered on it, determining their position. Enter the launch parameters, and soon, the missile completes the pre-launch data injection.

Compared to the original trailer, the preparation before the launch took at least half an hour, and now, it is only ten minutes. You've done it all!

The password for Huaxia training no longer exists, all of them are displayed on the screen, and when the countdown on it reaches 1, a soldier twists the launch knob.

Launch complete!

Drop the missiles. The motorcade began to return one after another, Khalid and Prince Sultan in one car, and the two quickly summed up.

Back at the base, Prince Sultan and Khalid looked at the reparked vehicle, still full of interest.

"Mr. President, we are very satisfied with this kind of vehicle of yours." Prince Sultan said to Mhammad: "We can now discuss the introduction. ”

"Okay." Mhammad said: "How much do you need? ”

At the beginning, Mhammad spent a lot of money to get the "tractor" production line from the Soviet Union, and this "tractor" is a niche vehicle, and the demand is not high, so the output is not very large, which led to a huge investment in Pakistan, and now, these investments are about to be digested by the local tyrant Saudi Arabia, and they can also make a profit.

"Two hundred." Prince Sultan said.

Two hundred! Now the total number of equipment in Pakistan is less than 100! Mhammad couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, as expected, Saudi Arabia is still rich.

In fact, Saudi Arabia only has a total of 50 missiles, with the help of Pakistan, to get in touch with China, which has not yet established diplomatic relations, and then buy it at a price of three billion US dollars, although the price is a bit high, but after all, there is only this one in the world, except for Huaxia, no second country will sell it to Saudi Arabia, besides, Saudi Arabia does not care about that little money.

Even if all the missiles are loaded into the car, only fifty are needed, plus the car for transporting fuel, another fifty is enough, and now, the Saudis have ordered two hundred at once! Naturally, there are new orders!

"Pakistan has developed these missiles by itself, and we are very satisfied with it, and we hope to import 50 more identical missiles from Pakistan." Prince Sultan said to Mhammad.

Sure enough, as Mhammad guessed, Saudi Arabia wants to bring its ballistic missile arsenal to the number of a hundred missiles!

"Okay." "We have always been very generous to our friends, and we sell these missiles and launch vehicles to our Saudi friends at factory prices," Mhammad said. ”

Mhammad quickly calculated in his mind and said: "Fifty identical DF-3 missiles, including two hundred launch vehicles, a total of two billion dollars." ”

Two billion dollars! In addition to the introduction of production lines, almost all the costs of developing missiles in Pakistan until now are included, but Mhammad does not feel that he wants to be high, compared to the batch imported from China, it is definitely too cheap.

If before, Mhammad would not have sold such missiles to the Saudis, after all, Pakistan also needs them. But now Pakistan has managed to develop a solid ballistic missile, which has a nearer range than a solid missile and takes too long to prepare. The greatest value of DF-3 to Pakistan is the development of launch vehicles as a reference.

And exporting this missile to Saudi Arabia can also bypass the Americans, even if the Americans find out later, Pakistan can calmly shirk it, you know, Saudi Arabia is a missile purchased from China! At best, Pakistan is just helping to pimp.

Hearing Mhammad say two billion dollars, Prince Sultan and Khalid were visibly stunned, and then Mhammad was heard to continue: "At the same time, we will also improve the original Dongfeng-3 missile for our Saudi friends for free, and replace it with a more advanced guidance system, so that this missile can have a higher landing accuracy." ”

"President Muhammad, we are very touched by your sincerity." Prince Sultan said: "We Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are true friends. We can't afford to let our friends suffer. In this way, we have also purchased 50 missiles according to the original contract with Huaxia, 3 billion US dollars, and as for those launch vehicles, they are also very important, and we will use 1 billion US dollars to buy 200 such launch vehicles, with a total contract value of 4 billion US dollars, what do you think? ”

From a global point of view, the Saudis are definitely a good friend, for example, when you go to the Saudis' house as a guest, as long as you show that you are very interested in something, when you leave, the Saudis will definitely package this kind of thing and give it to you, their hospitality, is famous all over the world, of course, it is also related to people's family background, the ground is black gold, and you don't need to work to have what you want.

Now, having heard that Pakistan sold missiles to Saudi Arabia so cheaply, Prince Sultan, of course, will not let Pakistan really suffer and doubled the contract amount, even so, it is still worth it for Saudi Arabia.

Those multi-axle off-road vehicles, in desert terrain, maneuverability will be better! Running around with missiles won't be detected by the enemy at all!

You must know that Saudi Arabia's purchase of medium-range ballistic missiles is mainly aimed at Israel, the enemy of the Arab world. Israel, on the other hand, has a very good relationship with the United States, and if there is another war in the Middle East, perhaps the United States will betray Saudi Arabia. Now, the Saudi base in Sulaiil has been detected by the Americans.

"Okay, in that case, we'll accept it." Mhammad said that it was useless to shirk back and forth, since people wanted to give it, of course he accepted it. Of course, Mhammad is not confused, but he can't be moved for a moment and sell solid ballistic missiles to the Saudis.

"We will make some improvements to the vehicle, add high-power air conditioning equipment, and improve the air intake system of the engine, so that it can be more adapted to operating in the desert." Musha'af on the side said.

For the Saudis who love to enjoy, they will never be able to endure hardship, and the equipment of their army is all hired from foreign countries to maintain it, and they will definitely not be able to stand it if they drive such a big thing in the desert without air conditioning.

"Okay, that's great." Prince Sultan said: "We have gained a lot from our visit to Pakistan. ”

Hearing Prince Sultan say this, Mhammad suddenly remembered something, since the Saudis are so rich, it is better to pull them into his own fourth-generation aircraft project!

For example, the Americans' F-22 fighter has a research and development cost of $30 billion, and the F-35 fighter is as high as $65 billion.

Hundreds of millions of dollars worth of warplanes are simply more expensive than gold!

Pakistan's current economic situation is very good, but the country's income should be invested in the country to continue to develop the economy, and the proportion of military spending should not be too high. Relying on the cooperation between Pakistan and Huaxia, although some of the pressure can be alleviated, it will not reduce the cost too much, after all, Huaxia is also very poor now.

However, if you pull in Saudi Arabia, a big financier, it will be different. (To be continued......)
