"It's not impossible!"

Shepard looked at the curvaceous figure of the Middle Eastern beauty who was obediently serving him, and then replied in a low voice.

"Go down first!"

The prince then clapped his hands and drove everyone out, and Shepard's men left with the sight, not forgetting to close the gate tightly to ensure that the sound from inside would not be heard.

"Your Royal Highness, there is an old saying in the East, called, the East is not bright and the West is bright, this is a Chinese saying, the metaphor does not work here, there is still room for maneuver in other places!"

Shepard first said the colloquial phrase in Chinese, and then explained the meaning in English.

"In other words, if this method doesn't work, then somewhere else, maybe it can be done?"

"That's right!"

"And this?"

"It matters!"

Shepard took a sip of cold juice, because wheat fermented drinks can't be drunk in Saudi Arabia, so he stocked up on a large amount of fruit juice in his refrigerator, in fact, there was also fermented grape juice in it, but he didn't dare to bring it out.

"Your Royal Highness, I would like to ask, how many countries in the world are capable of building long-range ballistic missiles now?"

Prince Sultan immediately began to count the number of countries that can do this, including the five permanent members of the United Nations.

"You mean, let me think about the Soviet Union?"

The prince pondered, then shook his head.

"No way, no way the Soviets can sell it!"

"Not the Soviet Union, it's their southern neighbor!"

"Is that them?"

Prince Sultan frowned.

"But their weapons ......"

Although arms from the eastern powers are common in the Middle East, they are not well received by the Saudis, because during the Iran-Iraq war, both Iraq and Iran used a lot of equipment, including tanks and aircraft, and many of them were destroyed and lost.

Therefore, in the eyes of Prince Sultan, the weapons of the East are low-grade goods with little technological content.

It is also normal to have this kind of prejudice, after all, for various reasons, the development of weapons in the big countries in the East began to a large extent on imitation.

Even in later generations, it has walked out of the road of independent independent research and development, there are still all kinds of yin and yang weird remarks, such as what 99 tank is high-equipped T72 or something, of course, there are many military blind people who like to say that the calf rifle has a high aiming baseline, and the plastic magazine is flattened as soon as it is pinched.

And the current development of weapons in the big countries in the East can be regarded as slowly starting to catch up in the midst of difficulties, so it is normal to be biased.

"Your Royal Highness, do you want planes or cannons?"

"Not at all!"

"Yes, then you don't want those things, why do you care about quality and price, their missile technology has always been very good, you know, they were the first to invent rockets in the world!"

"Will they sell it?"

The prince was moved by Shepard's words, and immediately began to worry about sales again.

"It's up to you, isn't it?"

Although Shepard knew that the big eastern country that was already poor at the moment would definitely sell it, he couldn't be so sure, so he could only euphemistically say that he could let the prince find a way to contact the other party.

And the prince thought better, he wanted Shepard to be his personal representative and go to meet with him.

"Huh?"

"But I'm an American, and this identity is not appropriate!"

Shepard shook his head, this kind of thing is really not suitable for him, and being able to match is already the limit!

And Prince Sultan also reacted that Shepard's identity is indeed not suitable, and he should even take the initiative to report this information to the US government to stop the Saudis.

"You're special, Mr. Shepard, if it were someone else, I don't think they would have told me that!"

"Your Royal Highness, I am also a peace-loving person

Regional stability is also very important to me, because in that way, I can also make money, and Saudi Arabia, as an important country in the Middle East, should stand up to maintain order, and I, as a beneficiary, naturally support it!"

"Of course, I'm sure I'll report this information as well, but I think it's best to get everything done before I do!"

"Thank you for the reminder!"

Subsequently, Shepard came to Fort *** again, and after he acted as an intermediary to match Saudi Arabia with the eastern powers, he immediately withdrew from the talks silently, anyway, this meeting was obviously held by Saudi Arabia to purchase some weapons to arm Pakistan.

And when Shepard was there, everyone was talking about it, but when Shepard left, he didn't know what he was going to talk about!

And the relevant person in charge was also shocked when he knew the intention of the Saudi side, because whether it is a short-range ballistic missile or a long-range ballistic missile, it is a national weapon, otherwise why should it be called a ballistic missile and not a cruise missile? There is a big difference between the two!

And the most important thing is that the missile not only depends on its range, flight mode, but also on what warhead it carries, and the most uncomfortable thing is the nuclear warhead, a ballistic missile can carry a lot of nuclear warheads, for countries that do not have the ability to intercept, this thing is the sword of Damocles.

If Saudi Arabia has such weapons, it can threaten Israel, the most important ally of the United States in the Middle East, and any Israeli city could be a target for Saudi Arabia at that time.

Therefore, no matter what, the Americans will not allow Saudi Arabia to have this kind of weapon, but the US government did not expect that Saudi Arabia would actually have a relationship with an Eastern country, and what the Americans did not expect was that someone would really sell this thing!

You must know that the total foreign exchange reserves of the big eastern countries at the moment are pitiful, and it is really extremely difficult to develop the economy.

The request of the Saudi side is equivalent to a pillow from sleep, and it is like Zhou Yu hitting the yellow cover, you are willing to do it, so without too much thought, the central government of the Eastern countries agreed to the deal.

And this time, the transaction between the two sides was not as dramatic as Shepard's previous life, the Eastern countries actually understood the financial resources of the Saudis, and the Saudi side actually understood the actual power of the Dongfeng-3 ballistic missile they were going to buy, and the overjoyed Saudi side simply offered $250 million a missile, and the purchase quantity was still the original figure.

In this way, the two parties negotiated and communicated in secret, and after nearly a year and a half of planning, the purchase agreement was finally completed.

And, as in the previous life, the Saudi side tried to offer 10 billion dollars to ask if it could get another nuclear warhead, although this price was very exciting, but in the end it was not sold, after all, ballistic missiles with or without warheads are completely two things, the former may pinch his nose and forget it, if the latter, then maybe there will be another world war!
