Royal Palace, Riyadh, Saudi.

In the glittering living room, His Majesty the King of Saudi Arabia sat on one side, Prince Durt at the bottom, and opposite a middle-aged white man in a suit and tie, with some translators and other staff members next to him.

"Mr. Brad, you should be clear about the recent situation."

"The militants of the north and the south have attacked and harassed us more and more frequently, on a larger scale, and with more and more terrifying damage, and it is not difficult for us to see from their weapons and equipment and logistical support that the Soviet Union behind them has begun to support them on a larger scale."

"At the moment our defenses are difficult to support, and I think you can see that defense alone is not a fundamental solution, so we hope that a strong military operation can be taken to cross the border line into Yemen and Jordan and deal a devastating blow to their bases and nests!"

In the meeting room, hearing the old king's statement, Breed, who was wearing a suit, nodded and said:

"This is a reasonable demand, since the Yemeni and Jordanian authorities have not been able to effectively contain and clean up these armed groups, and even we cannot rule out that they themselves are secretly supporting these armed groups for some reason, so I think it is natural for them to launch military action against them, and there is no legal problem."

"Whether it's a ground operation or an air operation, I think it's okay."

From the North African side, Egypt has completely fallen to the United States, and the Libya next door is also Cardazzo, and the Soviet Union wears a pair of pants, while the desert peninsula region, the south is basically pro-American, such as Saudi Arabia, such as the United Arab Emirates, such as Qatar, such as Kuwait, such as Oman, but Yemen is an exception, they have a very close relationship with the Soviet Union.

But in the north of the desert, because of the geopolitical pattern, the attitude of each country is different.

For example, Iran used to be pro-American, but after 79 years it turned to the Soviet Union, such as Iraq, which used to have close relations with the Soviet Union, but with the beginning of the Iran-Iraq conflict, their relationship with the United States also became ambiguous, as for Jordan next to it, and Syria further north, it was completely better with the Soviet Union, especially during the many desert wars, Syria received a large amount of Soviet supplies, and they were all free support.

It is precisely because of this that this Mr. Bred promised without hindrance, anyway, these countries were not close to the United States in the past, and there is no problem of bias at all, just fight, as for what international influence? Don't be funny!

The next second.

I saw that the old king nodded, and then seemed to hesitate for a moment before continuing:

"However, at the moment our troops are understaffed."

"We are already exhausted from these armed sneak attacks, and we simply cannot deploy enough manpower to cross the border line to carry out this military operation, so I hope you can support us by sending your powerful Marine Corps and carrier-based aircraft from aircraft carriers to carry out air strikes."

"We are willing to pay all the expenses and expenses of this military operation!"

"If we can do a fatal blow to their base, I think they may not be able to carry out another large-scale attack in a short time, and we can also smoothly increase production and make up for the economic losses caused by the attack in the past few months, and even the Pakistani side, we can also provide more support!"

In normal history, although Saudi Arabia is pro-American, the United States does not have troops in Saudi Arabia, and the real garrison will not start until the Gulf conflict, such as the well-known Prince Sultan military base, so if the United States wants to carry out direct military support, it needs to carry out large-scale strategic projection.

At this moment, the old king's voice, although it sounded very tactful, mentioned two unquestionable points.

The first point is the issue of increasing oil production, in the face of such a terrorist attack, Saudi Arabia will definitely not be able to increase oil production, even if the United States is in a hurry, it must abide by the law.

The second point is the conflict between India and Pakistan, and now Pakistan's military spending is the source of military spending in Pakistan on the one hand, led by Saudi Arabia, and the United States on the other.

However, the old king was disappointed!

I saw that Bled shook his head, couldn't help but sigh and said:

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty."

"I'm afraid we won't be able to fulfill your request, but we're allies, so I can give you a more definite reason."

"On the one hand, it is not easy for us to carry out such a military operation at the moment."

"And I might as well say bluntly, this military operation is absolutely impossible to end and succeed in a short period of time, whether it is Yemen or Jordan, there are many mountainous areas, the terrain is complicated, and it is definitely not easy to completely clear these armed groups!"

"That's what I'm telling you!"

"Second, the situation in the desert is already very tense now, the conflict between Iran and Iraq is still ongoing, and the same is true for Afghanistan, if we set off a third battlefield in Saudi Arabia, then the situation may be completely uncontrollable, after all, if we directly intervene and organize military operations across the border, the Soviet Union can intervene justifiably, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you don't want to have a nuclear war here, right?"

After all, Saudi Arabia is one of the most important allies of the United States, so this Mr. Braider did not hide it, and said the reason very bluntly.

Hearing this, the parlor fell silent.

Finally, after a few seconds, the old king looked at Bred and said:

"Then we need more weapons!"

This time Breed did not deny it, nodded and said:

"Of course."

Then the old king gave the clerk next to him a look, and the clerk presented him with a paper, and the old king said:

"Now those armed men have got T-72 tanks, and our M-60 is powerless to fight."

"So we want to get at least two hundred M1 tanks."

"And I hope that we can use the internal purchase price of your troops to buy, because in the past few months of sneak attacks, our economy has been very difficult, plus Iraq in the north, Pakistan in the east, we still need to continue to screw a lot of financial support, otherwise we can only unite with OPEC countries to carry out a new round of oil price increases! I think this outcome should not be what you want, and we have no other way. ”

Hearing this, Bred sighed, did not confirm or deny, but said:

"We'll think about it."

Then the old king continued:

"In addition to tanks, we also need a large number of fighter jets, because the armed groups already have strong air defense capabilities, even anti-aircraft missiles like the Sam-3 Sam-6 and even the Sam-5, while our current fighters are quite old and unusable, both for ground attack and survivability."

"So we hope that we can buy F-15 and F-16 fighters, adding up to at least two hundred, and half of them, it is better to carry out some ground attack modifications to facilitate our ground attack."

"And in terms of air defense, we also need a lot of anti-aircraft weapons."

"Obviously, the Soviet side has begun to mass-produce that kind of gyroplane in many ways, and in the face of the overwhelming number of such aircraft, we are under a lot of pressure, and it is not enough to rely on anti-aircraft missiles, and it is not enough to rely on anti-aircraft machine guns and cannons, so we hope that a large number of Stinger anti-aircraft missiles can be purchased."

"And even if we could, we would like to be able to procure several production lines of Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, because you should understand how much pressure our air defense is on right now!"

As for the old king's last statement, Brad could not refute it.

Because now the combat style of the gyroplane has been completely iterated, originally this thing was used for air patrol, ground attack and bombing, and later became an air fighting aircraft, and now they have begun to use this kind of gyroplane as an attack aircraft, when hundreds of gyroplanes under the cover of ground fire, in a low-altitude way of raiding, especially for those oil bases, it is simply a devastating blow, equipped with machine guns, grenade launchers and various rockets, which can engulf everything in an instant!

Not to mention, the Soviet imitation of the rotorcraft, the volume has increased by a circle, the load has also increased by a circle, and it also has a certain defense, the survivability of the battlefield has been greatly improved, and even a bit of the feeling of armed helicopters, what kind of treetop attack routine, even if Braider sees the picture of the battlefield, he can't help but feel a little frightened, after all, quantitative changes can cause qualitative changes, hundreds of rotorcraft, almost ignoring all kinds of wall defenses, rushing in at high speed, and then starting to bomb indiscriminately, can't withstand it at all!

Moreover, they are not afraid of death, which is the biggest headache! What's even more of a headache is that the pilot training of gyroplanes is no more difficult than learning to ride a motorcycle, and they have a steady stream of reserve forces!

Even some time ago, the Hexagoon has convened a meeting of several arms giants to discuss issues related to the imitation and mass production of rotorcraft, after all, everyone knows that things are easy to use, even if Lao Mei himself doesn't use them, he can also sell them to his younger brother for use, after all, the enemy has you or not, you are just a fool, and this thing has been dismantled and studied, and the profits are considerable, and the American arms giants are also red-eyed, after all, no matter how few mosquito legs are, they are also meat!

And the result made the Hexagon directly dumbfounded, it turned out that several arms giants had been pondering for a long time, and the reason why the finished product has not yet been seen is because this thing belongs to civilian fire-fighting equipment, and it has actually registered a patent, and the registration is very tricky, so it is not possible to imitate it directly, and you have to find a way to circumvent the patent, so the situation will be troublesome, and you can only show your powers.

As for the USSR, the USSR never recognized patents, and to take them is to copy!

"We'll all think about it!"

Finally, Breed nodded and said, and then the talks continued until evening, and when Breed left, the old king and Prince Durt sighed!

"Sartler, come out!"

With the voice of the old king, Sattaler came out of a secret door, and it was obvious that he had secretly observed the whole negotiation process.

"Father, uncle."

Satler bowed slightly and said hello, and the old king said directly:

"Ling's application for a visit will be submitted to the Huaxia Office this evening, and they will convey it on their behalf, and you will not be an official for this visit, but only a prince."

"But you have to remember that there are five most critical issues for this visit."

"First, the kind of highly effective anti-aircraft weapon in your friend's mouth."

"Now we have a lot of pressure on our air defense, this is the most desperate solution, as long as we can get rid of their dense rotorcraft, then we can regain the disadvantage in the battle."

Sattler nodded, although Saudi Arabia has a lot of gyroplanes, but these gyroplanes are relatively scattered, usually only twenty or thirty per oil base, at most only fifty or sixty, but the recent militants, often dispatch hundreds of rotorcraft, the oil base wants to fight a rotorcraft air battle, there is no way, not an opponent at all.

"Second, that kind of medium-range rocket artillery."

"As long as we have this thing, and cooperate with our aircraft reconnaissance, we can find a way to attack the militants' bases, otherwise it will be like what Braid said just now, we will attack them guerrilla, and we will never be able to wipe them out!"

"Thirdly, personnel! We need people! ”

"Now Pakistan has fallen into a war situation, and the war in southern Egypt has broken out from time to time, and our allies are worried about their combat effectiveness, and they can't be counted on at all, so we must find a way to bring in people from the outside, your previous suggestion is good, Tanzania has just ended the war, they have received the training concept of China, and the combat level is one of the best in Africa, if you can set up a security company, it is a good plan!"

"Fourth, there is the issue of diplomacy between our two sides."

"This can't be rushed, but it can't be rushed, so you need to explore the situation first, and then we will determine the next plan."

"Fifth, of course, is our scientific and technological cooperation plan."

"The first phase of cooperation, I think it can already be put on the agenda, Sattaler will be responsible for the relevant communication issues, and even I hope that in the spring of next year, the two sides can officially start cooperation!"

Hearing His Majesty's order, Sartler nodded again and said:

"Yes! Your Majesty, I see. ”

This time, he didn't even call his father, but called His Majesty, looking very solemn.

At four o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, the relevant staff submitted the application to the office, since Wang Ye left, the office returned to its former calm, just when the staff were sitting there bored in a daze, a Mercedes-Benz car stopped at the door, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Then the whole office got busy!

And today, it is January 15, China time.

After nearly ten days of busyness, the first batch of 25 two-axis and three-axis machine tools finally completed the assembly and commissioning, and reached the factory accuracy and performance, including 15 two-axis machine tools, ten three-axis machine tools, not to mention in the consortium, even in the country, this is quite advanced equipment.

"Mr. Nobi! Good bye! ”

In the open space in front of the machine tool center, Wang Ye sent off more than a dozen engineers led by Ye Bijian, who were in the car of the consortium and would be sent to Quancheng and then return to Yanjing again.

Maybe it's because they have been entrusted by Megumi Mitsui, so in the past ten days, the overall performance of these people is still relatively humble, they haven't put on any shelf, and they basically answer all questions, and they are also very careful and serious in their work, and they don't sneak up on anything, Wang Ye is very satisfied.

So Wang Ye was also very bold, and brought them gifts back, two salted fish and one pound of dried shrimp per person, no more, otherwise they would make mistakes.

The reason why he wants to do this is that Wang Ye feels that this group of people in the consortium is simply not human!

Maybe it's because Wang Ye always talks bad about the Japanese, or because the consortium used to be a military industrial unit, so in the consortium, the big guys from top to bottom generally don't have a good impression of the Japanese, unlike many big cities in China that have gradually opened up, influenced by Japanese products, such as Honda, Suzuki, Toshiba, Panasonic and other companies' products, full of yearning for Japan, a developed country, just like Wang Ye's roommate.

It is precisely because of this, coupled with the fact that these Japanese people do have technology, that everyone is also "thirsty for talent".

In these ten days, there are at least hundreds of people, every day is around these dozen or so Japanese, in addition to normal work, is to ask all kinds of questions about machine tools and processing, although the attitude is very good, but the behavior is very hateful, after all, the time is already four o'clock in the morning, you have changed two groups of people, can you not let the Japanese friends rest and rest? It's excessive!

And then led to these dozen Japanese, busy with machine tools during the day, free time as teachers, the students' desire is strong, forget it, the key is an average of one to ten, and the ten Japanese are squeezed dry at a glance, just say that when they left just now, they looked like actors who were killed by thousands of people in the Tokyo fever, miserable!

But I have to say,Sometimes the Japanese are really strange.,There's a bit of a masochistic feeling.,Of course, it's not excluded that it's because they've been touted by these students.,Anyway, they seem to enjoy this kind of teaching process.,Especially the leader of Nobi.,When you finally go, you still look reluctant.。

But if you think about it carefully, you can understand that they are all social animals in Japan, and the kind of leaders who don't give a good face, when they come here, they are shouted respectfully by a teacher, can they not be happy?

Pain and happiness!

In the end, Wang Ye really couldn't bear it, so with a wave of his hand, each person approved two salted fish and one pound of dried shrimp, go back and make up for it!

"Hey! Let's go! ”

"No, I haven't finished asking that question about the knife head yet!"

"Time flies!"

"I have to say, Little Japan does have two hits!"

"When will you come back next time?"

Waiting for the car to go away, the people around Wang Ye whispered and discussed, looking melancholy with dissatisfaction.

In fact, it is understandable, after all, in the past, it was true that I could not contact engineers of this level, and after a person has a high level in a certain field, it is really called a thorough understanding, and it is really comfortable to listen to people, and it has benefited a lot!

"Hey, what are you doing standing?"

"That's right! Take a walk and go back and try our machines! ”

"Hahaha, boring a cannon pipe first?"

Subsequently, everyone was excited again, and when everyone returned to the workshop, Wang Ye's eyelids jumped, what was the situation with the big red flower hanging in front of the machine tool!
