Something happened these two days, so I'm really sorry.

"Liu, what are you worried about? You didn't try every means to promote your weapons and equipment before, but now we have huge demands, but you are beginning to hesitate. This is not in line with your style. There is no other political factor in the transaction between us, so why are you unwilling to do so? Can the Chinese government ignore orders of billions or even tens of billions of dollars?" King Fahd suddenly spoke to Liu Yijiu.

Obviously, Liu Yijiu is worried.

And they can see clearly.

Liu Yijiu looked at the old king, looked at the two princes, and then said to them, "You should purchase weapons and equipment from the United States. Their Patriot missiles are not bad... But you put aside the traditions between them and purchase from us. Your Majesty the King, I wonder if there is any inside story?"

Just tell me your worries directly.

The king was silent, Prince Sultan was silent, and Prince Bandar was silent.

Liu Yijiu stared at them without thinking that this was a good thing at all.

Continuing, "What if it was an American instructor?"

"We hope to purchase some of the weapons and equipment from your country to ensure that there is no problem. Now that the war is about to break out, American troops are constantly traveling to our country. Colleagues, the huge fleet of Americans in the Persian Gulf region is also coming..." Sultan suddenly said seriously.

This area belongs to the Middle East.

The territory of the Arabs and the existence of the US military is constantly strengthening.

There are many things between Saudi Arabia and the United States that they can do nothing about. If they have money, who would be willing to continue to be regarded as that gun?

“We want to have the ability to protect our own country!”

"Are you going to establish your own national defense industrial system?" Liu Yijiu asked in surprise.

Saudi tyrants never like to invest in industry. Is there any rumors false?

"No, we are preparing to purchase weapons and equipment. Although the establishment of a huge industrial system is of great benefit to a country, it is too difficult for us, and we do not have enough technicians and technical workers..." The other party obviously did not think so, "We purchase weapons and equipment from the United States, Europe and even your country..."

Made in all countries?

Liu Yijiu couldn't help but twitched. What did the Saudi tyrants think? Why is this happening?

Are they going to follow the path of A Sanguo?

Weapons and equipment made by all nations are the most unreliable. One company cannot use guns from several countries. In this way, there will be major problems in the logistics supply system.

Especially for high-end equipment, once there is a problem with the equipment, even if the soldiers have rich experience, they will not be able to quickly use other similar equipment, because there will be considerable differences in the weapons and equipment of the United States.

Many countries hope to purchase weapons and equipment from one country.

However, the weapons and equipment between Western countries and the United States have begun to become unified and standardized due to the existence of the Soviet Union, but there are still quite a few differences.

"If this is the case, your logistics..." Liu Yijiu was a little worried.

Logically speaking, under the other party's reasons, he should agree to sell weapons and equipment. He should not continue to consider it, but now he still feels that there are many problems in it.

"So, we hope that the weapons systems you supply to us will be best used with NATO countries' munitions..."

"It's your sake?" Liu Yijiu's mouth twitched.

It shouldn't be!

Although the Americans hope that China will adopt their standards, problems will arise when China learns from the Soviet system and summarizes its experience, which will further delay the progress of China's scientific and technological research.

"No, this is not what the Americans mean. We hope that some Chinese weapons and equipment will be replaced in conventional equipment. For example, fighter jets and tanks can launch NATO-standard ammunition, have NATO-standard weapon interfaces, or your missiles can be loaded on NATO equipment for use..." Prince Sultan said sincerely.

They believe that they have shown great sincerity.

"How much equipment do you need? What types of equipment are there?" Liu Yijiu thought in his heart, but asked calmly on his face. "What if the Americans interfere and stop it?"

Once Saudi Arabia cannot withstand the pressure from the United States, this matter will basically be unlikely.

After all, conventional equipment cannot be delivered after negotiation like Dongfeng 3.

What's even more serious is that if Saudi Arabia also needs Longwei and J-11, how can China deliver it? At least it will take several years.

"Fighter jets, tanks, armored vehicles, missiles, etc., especially fighter jets used to seize air supremacy, and missiles that are permanently accurate in strikes..." Prince Sultan said looking at Liu Yijiu. He wanted to see from Liu Yijiu's face what this kid was thinking.

It is best to be able to agree to their order, which is a good thing for both parties.

"Don't you have a lot of tanks and armored vehicles in your country?" Liu Yijiu asked with a frown. There are many good things in Saudi Arabia. "What's more, have you ordered a lot of f15 and f16 in the United States?"

"Relatively speaking, we prefer the F14. At the beginning, we wanted to purchase this kind of fighter jet from the United States, but they did not agree, but Iran bought it..." Bandar's words made Liu Yijiu understand why these tyrants wanted to purchase the J-11 from China.

This fighter is a completely imitation model of F14, but it has been improved and designed. Liu Yijiu knows very well that the subsequent improvements of F14 do not require too much time to modify the design, nor does it require too much verification.

So far, hundreds of aircraft have been produced, and air forces in several countries are in use, and there has been no crash.

Iran has it, Iraq has it, but Saudi Arabia has it.

They were preparing to order from the United States, and the Americans told them that they could buy their retired domestic f14. The maintenance cost of f14 is too high. Even if the technology is advanced, the Americans felt that there was no need to do so, and directly replaced the role of f14 with the high and low combination of f15 and f16.

Even so, the f14 is still the favorite fighter jet of American pilots.

Therefore, Saudi Arabia actually wants to have better planes. It is naturally not possible for Americans to fool them with retired fighter jets.

Could Saudi Arabia use second-hand equipment from other countries?

The signing of the "Common Defense Agreement and the Jeddah Airport Lease Agreement" and the existence of the Gulf crisis have led Saudi Arabia to purchase US $30 billion of weapons and equipment.

"At the same time, we have made a list of weapons purchase orders from China, which contains the weapons and equipment we hope to obtain from China. At the same time, including our Dongfeng 3 range to 4,000 kilometers. The total contract amount is roughly estimated based on the price of weapons and equipment you sold before. We need about 12 billion US dollars of weapons and equipment." Prince Sultan was still hesitant until now when he saw Liu Yijiu, and did not give up at all. He directly expressed the value of the contract.

This is the price they proposed by themselves. If the other party has to be higher, it will be more than the contract amount.

Chinese people are short of money, which is something that everyone knows.

More than one billion US dollars will not only make China Industrial production full, but they will also have more funds to invest in the field of military research.

No one wants the benefits of delivering them to the door.

When Liu Yijiu heard the 12 billion dollar figure, he couldn't help but wonder. Could it be that Saudi Arabia gave the remaining 18 billion dollar contract to the United States in order to appease the United States?

During the Gulf crisis, Saudi Arabia spent 30 billion US dollars, and the prices of many weapons and equipment were very high, and the profits were several times.

"Of course, as a guarantee, we hope to deliver some of the oil..."

King Fahd said to Liu Yijiu, who was constantly measuring various things in his heart.

Oil exchange for weapons and equipment is something that Liu Yijiu has always done with Iran and Iraq.

The domestic economy now has a considerable demand for imported oil.

Oil safety is becoming increasingly prominent now. The cost of domestic crude oil production is much higher than that of the Middle East, and its quality is not very good. More importantly, the reserves of several major oil fields in China are not too large.

Because of Liu Yijiu's appearance, China has built many oil fields in Iran, Iraq and even Kuwait.

Saudi Arabia's oil fields have always been watched by Western countries and American companies, mainly the United States.

It is not easy for China to find an opportunity to intervene.

"Oilfield?" Liu Yijiu's breathing became a little rapid.

Anyway, China should learn from the United States' strategy and spend money to purchase various resources from other countries first, and seal the domestic ones first, so that they can be left to future generations.

Otherwise, if we try our best to mine domestically, when we develop in the future, there will be fewer and fewer international resources, and it will be difficult to do it. Just like the iron ore imported by China, the world's largest importer is constantly being choked on it. If you want to raise prices, you can raise prices. China can't say anything, so it can only give money honestly.

"It can also be delivered with the oil field's income." The king said calmly.

Now the oil price has risen several times compared to before. You can exchange a barrel of oil for several times more supplies. Who wouldn't want to do it?

China is a potential big user. If their country's economy continues to develop in this way, more and more wealthy people in China will be, and automobiles will be a very huge economic growth point. This is what Saudi Arabia's domestic analysis team has seen. They do not want the entire country's economic lifeline to rely on a country like the United States.

With the current oil prices and Saudi Arabia's revenues have doubled several times a year. Although after the crisis is resolved, oil prices will definitely fall due to the recovery of oil production in Iraq and Kuwait...

"The current oil price is too high because of the war." Liu Yijiu's meaning is very obvious, and the other party is not a fool.

China has not established national oil strategic inventory so far.

However, if oil is used to offset equipment costs, this is not in line with China's current interests.

"Our domestic demand for oil is not very large. Although our share of imported oil is gradually increasing, we can still be self-sufficient." Liu Yijiu shook his head and said, "If we calculate based on the current oil prices, it is obviously we are suffering too much..."

Even if you want Saudi oil, you can't suffer this loss, right?

"We have dropped 20% based on the national price of oil. How about it? Half of the amount is converted at the price of oil..." Fahd estimated that he had already prepared.

What he proposed was something that Liu Yijiu could not refuse.

Liu Yijiu gritted his teeth and calculated in his mind that if the war lasted for a long time, how much would China lose to import this oil.

The most important thing is that the more oil is, the better. China is currently making reserves, and such a high price is somewhat unprofitable.

"Twenty percent of it is traded with oil!" Liu Yijiu said gritting his teeth, "We have a lot of oil share in Iran and Iraq!"

"But Iraq's oil is now under international embargo." Fahd said with a smile, "We are considering you. If you get money, you have to purchase resources. It is already very good if you only have 20% less than the international oil price."

What he said was the truth.

This is already a very rare opportunity. The international crude oil supply has now become more oil prices because of the lack of Kuwait's supply. What's more, there are questions from important oil-producing countries in the world.

The Soviet Union's oil supply was also invested in the international market.

Americans continue to demand that Saudi Arabia increase oil production, and Saudi Arabia has been unable to hold on until now.

They could sell more money and had to lose their interests for the benefit of the United States. When the price of crude oil rose sharply, Americans sold weapons and equipment to them to offset the extra oil prices they gave.

Can Saudi Arabia have no objection to this matter?

So, this is why they took this opportunity to purchase such a huge amount of weapons and equipment from China.

Anyway, fighter jets are basically used for dedicated personnel. Even if they are produced in the same country, different models will operate differently.

After thinking through all this, Liu Yijiu's concerns disappeared. As for whether the secret would be leaked, he didn't think about it.

"We can communicate in detail after I go back to this matter. Or, you will negotiate with relevant departments of our government..." One hundred and twenty billion dollars, we can't give up!
Chapter completed!
