"Director Liu, how do you think we should negotiate from a fair and reciprocal standpoint?" King Fahd was ridiculed by Liu Yijiu, and could not say a word. Now even if Liu Yijiu gave him a step, he did not respond. This article was first published by...

Prince Sultan asked the young man who made them look at him with a playful look on his face.

Liu Yijiu was stunned. He hadn't thought that Prince Sultan would save him.

He knew that his words were a bit heavy, and the king could not bear the face, and was considering how to make the king feel comfortable.

Sultan's words saved him such troubles.

Just be careful when speaking later, otherwise it will pass.

I immediately coughed slightly, took this opportunity to sort out my thoughts, and said calmly: "His Royal Highness, during our previous exchanges, I have said that we should not bring other countries' demands in the arms and equipment transactions between us, whether just or not."

This is something that Liu Yijiu has always emphasized.

"It is really unfair to do this. Missiles like Dongfeng-3A, plus the Guardian rocket launcher, are urgently needed by your country, which can ensure your country's strategic security and even complete sovereignty. Because of Israel, the United States will not export even if the relationship with your country is good. And even if the Soviet Union exports, first, no matter how many missiles, they will definitely speak out. Your ally Iraq purchases Scud missiles from the Soviet Union. It is an obvious example. It has always had a bad relationship with the United States, otherwise it will be sanctioned. This is on the one hand; on the other hand, the Soviet Union will attach many conditions, which is essentially no different from the previous one..."

The reason Saudi Arabia chose China was because it did not buy spear-to-ground missiles with a range of only more than 40 kilometers in the United States. It also asked the Soviet Union that the Soviet Union proposed a large number of political additional conditions.

Internationally, bulk weapons transactions have a series of political conditions.

China's weapons and equipment exports. No.

Because of many political conditions, it is of little use to China, which pursues a defensive strategy, and it is not as suitable as more urgent foreign exchange.

"Didn't you also put forward additional conditions?" Bandar particularly despised Liu Yijiu. "Director Liu. Although you did not put forward any political conditions, you asked us to purchase a large number of conventional weapons and equipment in your country with poor performance in our transactions. Is this considered additional conditions?"

Liu Yijiu couldn't help laughing when he heard Bandal's words.

I smiled very happily.

When he fell asleep, someone handed him a pillow. Such a thing was really a good thing for him.

I was worried that the other party would not come into contact with him on his own initiative!

He immediately replied: "Your Highness, first of all, please note that I am talking about political conditions. Binding and selling conventional weapons and equipment is not considered political conditions, right? Secondly, although there are such terms in our contract, these terms are not something you must comply with and enforce..."

"How is it possible! The terms of your contract are very obvious. You must purchase more than 5 billion US dollars of weapons and equipment to sell 60 Dongfeng-3A for us at a price of 65 million US dollars per unit..." Surtan was immediately angry, Liu Yijiu was simply insulting their IQ.

However, halfway through his words, he realized it himself.

If we did not purchase $1.1 billion of conventional weapons and equipment from China, we would not have sold it for $65 million per piece, and we might not have sold it for 60 pieces of kicks.

This is a trap that Chinese people use to mislead them in the terms of the contract!

"It is true. Dongfeng-3 A medium-range strategic missile has a range of 2,800 kilometers, an increase of 1,100 kilometers compared to the prototype Dongfeng-3 missile. The cost will naturally be much higher, and there are a series of costs such as research funds. It can be said that this is a conscientious price. If you need to purchase more than 100 pieces and be able to dilute the research funds more, the price will naturally drop... It is precisely because of this situation that considering that both of us have not established diplomatic relations, like the Soviets, it is not in line with the traditional virtues of our Chinese nation. From the beginning, our quotation was very low. One piece was only 70 million US dollars..."

Sometimes, it is very easy to use data to fool non-professionals.

Liu Yijiu has always been good at doing such things.

Only insiders know how much research and development costs are used for medium-range strategic missiles like Dongfeng-3.

After all, in that era, many returning experts in the Republic used local methods to solve problems, such as the verification of large aircraft like Yun-Ten, calculations before mushroom bombs exploded, etc.

When Americans were studying these super weapons, they used supercomputers and other series of supporting facilities. In that era when there were no supercomputers, some were just abacus!

This does not require cost.

But Liu Yijiu naturally would not tell Saudi tyrants like this, otherwise the other party would know that the cost of Chinese people would be outrageously low.

Hearing Liu Yijiu's words, not only Prince Sultan, but also King Fahd was speechless.

The reason why strategic weapons are strategic weapons is because they are high in R&D costs, high production costs, and require huge supporting systems. Generally, small countries are unable to support such projects!

Although Saudi Arabia has money, it has no way to deal with the entire huge system. If you can buy it, it will naturally be more in line with Saudi Arabia's interests.

You should know that for this project, King Fahd prepared 10 billion US dollars of special funds, and the Chinese sold them two kicks, only 60, only 3.9 billion US dollars. The rest can be used to support their Muslim brothers. Pakistan has mushroom bullets. Once Pakistan's mushroom bullets are developed successfully, they will naturally be provided to them.

By the time of the time, it was not so easy for those Jewish assholes in Israel to threaten with mushroom bullets.

"Colonel Liu, to put it this way, we can get these two skirtings without purchasing conventional weapons?" King Fahd said that two skirtings were not very easy.

Liu Yijiu nodded, "If we do not purchase conventional weapons and equipment, we will sell it for US$68 million. At the same time, various subsequent guarantees will have to be calculated separately..."

If you don’t purchase conventional weapons and equipment, you will naturally have to let Saudi Arabia pay more on it.

Every year's maintenance and subsequent upgrades are all huge profits.

"Of course, if the purchase order meets the amount we require, I will provide technical support for every year, and only charge a fee of 5 million US dollars a year..." Originally, the price in this regard was 10 million yuan a year.

In order to obtain more conventional weapons purchase orders from Saudi Arabia, Liu Yijiu naturally would not care about the annual funding of $5 million.

Later on, the purchasing power of currency will weaken, which is far less useful to the entire China as it is to get more than one billion dollars at one time now.

"What if it's not reached?" Sultan asked with a frown.

"Every yearly logistics maintenance will be multiplied by a coefficient according to our domestic cost. If you don't say anything else, each one must be able to use it. The annual maintenance cost of 300,000 US dollars should be indispensable. These costs are mainly guaranteed in terms of liquid fuel and engine performance..." Liquid fuel is not as convenient as solid fuel missiles, and is often stored separately.

However, Dongfeng-3 is suitable for highway maneuver launching missiles. In order to ensure that the missile is in the launch state and put into use at the fastest speed, liquid fuel is poured into the missile. Every once in a while, the liquid propellant inside and the performance of the entire missile must be checked to ensure combat capability and accuracy.

Medium and short range are not too troublesome. Long-range intercontinental missiles only require several hours to replenish propellant, which greatly reduces combat capability.

It is precisely for this reason that countries that possess such missiles are desperately studying missiles that are solid fuel propellants.

China developed such missiles in the early 1970s. In the international environment at that time, there were only no more than one hundred deployed. You should know that this thing can be used to attack Moscow from China! Whether it is the Soviet Union or the United States, the number of such missiles produced in thousands.

Later, China did not expand its deployment scale, but only used technology to upgrade and used the original technology to conduct technical research. In the end, all of these missiles were replaced by models of smaller, more flexible movement, more concealed, and more convenient and fast launch of solid missiles Dongfeng-21 and other solid fuels.

"At the same time, we will also be responsible for the later technological upgrades. As long as the same technology developed in China and you need it, we will also provide upgrades to your country's missiles..." Liu Yijiu saw that the other party was in deep thought, so he simply proposed conditions that would make them more tempted.

"So, once your country develops a solid propellant missile to replace this missile, China will also sell it to us?" Sultan's eyes lit up.

If the upgrade is made, the liquid propellant of this batch of missiles will be replaced with solid propellant and the engine will be replaced with solid fuel engines...

This can be upgraded to a long-range strategic missile, or even an intercontinental missile!

Of course, the premise is that the Chinese are willing to provide technology.

"I have to discuss this later. At present, we have not even agreed on the current contract..." Liu Yijiu replied ambiguously. (To be continued.)
