781 Panda Diplomacy and Allah's East Wind
"Rent? Why not give away? Isn't this too troublesome?" Prince Bandar felt a little troublesome about the plan given by Liu Yijiu.
Liu Yijiu could only explain patiently to him that giant pandas were nothing else. In China, or in other words, there were no more than 500 species in the world. Such species were indeed endangered. Liu Yijiu also told Prince Bandar that in order for him to successfully take pandas from China and bring them to Saudi Arabia, he could not establish a scientific research unit specifically for the study of pandas in his personal name. The purpose was to protect pandas, not anything else.
"Liu, this is really too troublesome. Moreover, I raise pandas not for everyone to see!" This is the habit of the rich in the Middle East. Raising all kinds of beasts is not for protection, but for showing off to people with similar status.
China no longer gives gifts to giant pandas, and it is still renting them. The rental period is only ten years. After the rented pandas are born, these pandas belong to China. When they are three years old, they must be sent back to China.
"Your Highness, if you think this is too troublesome, there is no need to think about it anymore. Our government has announced to the world that our giant pandas will not be given to the public. Whether it is the United States or other Western countries, many zoos hope to obtain giant pandas and present this national treasure to the world..." Liu Yijiu didn't care about Bandar.
If you want to give them as before, it will be their wealth. A cute national treasure like giant pandas must not be like that.
Otherwise, Panda diplomacy would not have been criticized by some malicious guys in the international community.
"And, the pandas in our country have never been given to any private precedent! This is all given as a state gift..." Although Liu Yijiu attaches great importance to Bandar, for him, it is definitely not a relationship that cannot be left out.
It is impossible for Chinese giant pandas to be owned by a private person in the world.
Even decades later, Dubai's rich people wanted to get a pair, even if they promised to establish a research institute, the Chinese government just refused.
Faced with Liu Yijiu's attitude, Bandar had no choice.
He is happy with a cute guy like giant panda, but in fact he wants to use this to please his wife.
"Your Highness, you really should consider this matter carefully. Even if giant pandas come to Saudi Arabia, they should not tour exhibitions for a long time. After all, it is difficult for the climate of the Middle East desert to survive. Special rooms must be established to ensure their health problems. Since it is used for research, it can be opened to Saudi citizens occasionally, and most of the time, they should avoid contact with people..." The policies are loopholes, not to mention that this policy was proposed by Liu Yijiu.
On this, Liu Yijiu also left the loophole. Only in these rich countries in the Middle East can the short-term ownership of these pandas belong to a private rich man.
"The Middle East is shrouded in the dark clouds of war, I believe His Highness can understand this. During World War II, when the Germans bombed the UK, even when they were bombed, the giant pandas at the London Zoo in the UK were calm. Even when the bombing was the most tragic, the newspapers were still reporting on the life of giant pandas. This is the war hero in the hearts of the entire British... In the situation like the Middle East, if two such guys appear in Saudi Arabia, they will be exhibited nationwide and even the entire Middle East world, they will be able to gain..."
Liu Yijiu said it very clearly.
This will effectively improve Prince Bandar's fertility, because he negotiated with China to introduce two Chinese national treasures after the Chinese government announced that it would no longer give away giant pandas to the outside world.
Bandal was really moved when he heard Liu Yijiu's introduction.
Reputation. It is very important to them.
After some trade-offs, he decided to do it according to Liu Yijiu's request, no longer treating giant pandas as his own pet.
Giant pandas have strict requirements on their living environment. They can completely build the institute directly in their homes under such a state...
"And, some of your projects can also be used to carry out open construction..." Liu Yijiu's thinking is active enough.
For him, at such a time, building such a project can fully shift the attention of the Middle East to pandas. After all, this is the first time that a country has obtained giant pandas from China after the Chinese government announced that it will no longer give away giant pandas to the outside world.
This also sets a precedent for other countries that want to acquire Chinese giant pandas.
Bandal immediately became concerned about this matter. After completing the transportation of missiles like Dongfeng-3, he was waiting to see the first batch of 20 Dongfeng-3 missiles loaded, and prepared to go back to establish a research institute and build a panda's life paradise.
The Dongfeng-3 missile weighs 64 tons in total after being refueled. It is impossible to transport it to the ships at the port through a special container.
Fortunately, before this, the staff on the harbor had already gained experience.
20 Dongfeng-3 missile launchers were transported directly to the Shanghai Railway Station by railway. Inside these cars, a launcher was tied to each section, covered with some wooden shelves and tarpaulins. From a distance, this thing was like an oil tanker, but it was slightly longer than an oil tanker.
After all, the total length of the entire missile reaches 24 meters, and the front of the vehicle is really not short.
There are a large number of soldiers escorting them on live ammunition on each carriage. Even when they arrive at the station, these cars are heavily guarded by soldiers.
The train transported directly to the Shanghai Railway Station. Then, during the darkness, they drove the missile truck directly from the freight train and transported it to the port.
The container is specially made, much longer than the container on one side. The transportation in the previous period was all handled by Zhou Jun from the import and export trading company. However, this time, since Bandar was here and the missiles were newly produced, Liu Yijiu also accompanied Bandar to appear at the freight terminal in the Shanghai Stock Exchange in person.
"Director Liu, the ports here have been martial law. Everyone is from the military, and no outsiders know about it..." Zhou Jun promised Liu Yijiu after negotiating with the dock.
Liu Yijiu ignored him and had done this many times. He naturally would not interfere with the work in this regard.
"Your Highness the Prince, these missiles are directly driven into the container by reverse car, and then when they arrive at the port, the operator will drive the car out. The missiles will not move on it. However, these missiles contained in the container must not be touched by people!" Liu Yijiu ignored it. After all, after boarding the ship here, the missiles were already under the responsibility of Saudi Arabia.
After leaving China's territorial waters, it has nothing to do with China.
Zhou Jun must seriously explain to the Saudis that if these bastards are too lonely on the ship and get into the container to have fun, they will accidentally scrap the entire ship's missiles, spare parts, spare warheads, spare fuel, and even launch command vehicles, radar workstations, etc.
"Isn't your technicians responsible for this? General Manager Zhou, I'm very relieved about your people!" Prince Bandar said indifferently.
Zhou Jun smiled awkwardly. But he said in his heart, you are relieved to us, we are all very relieved to ourselves. After all, the people selected by China are absolutely strong ideological awareness and skilled people. The problem is these bastards in the Middle East!
When Liu Yijiu saw Zhou Jun not leaving, he didn't say anything else, but waited here. After thinking for a moment, he said to Bandar. "Your Highness, Mr. Zhou is not worried about our people, but about your people moving around on the ship. After all, once this thing leaves the Chinese territorial waters, it belongs entirely to you. If they are anxious, they have to operate on it..."
Saudi Arabia cannot do such a thing.
Hearing this, Bandar was also stunned. Then he called his assistant, Lieutenant Colonel Abdullah Weilin, to the side, "This Lieutenant Colonel Abdullah Weilin, who has worked with me since the beginning, will return to China with the ship through the sea. He will be responsible for everything on the ship!"
After introducing this lieutenant colonel who is also a member of the Saudi royal family and is also young but highly valued by Prince Sultan, Bandal said to the lieutenant colonel: "Lieutenant Colonel Weilin, I don't want any of our people to touch them before these missiles are transported to our base! Moreover, even during the unloading process, I hope that the Chinese comrades will operate! It is obvious that our people cannot do this if they drive such a car out of a narrow container..."
"Your Highness, please rest assured that I will strictly enforce your orders!" Lieutenant Colonel Abdullah Weilin assured the prince very seriously.
He was very clear about how heavy these missiles were after being filled with fuel and had warheads on them.
The missile diameter reaches 2.25 meters, while the width of the container is only 3 meters. Including the width of the vehicle body, the spacing on each side is only 10 cm!
Under such conditions, only China's well-trained soldiers must be able to pour missile vehicles over 26 meters into special containers.
Of course, there is another method, that is, these containers were not made at the beginning, and various supporting frames, etc. After the missile car was parked on the ship, it started to reach the brackets from both sides, and then nailed a board outside. In this way, there was no way to reload some containers on the containers that were hiding the missile transport.
Fortunately, soldiers who operate such technology have completed many operations.
When Lieutenant Colonel Weilin saw the subtle operation of the middle man, his forehead was covered with layers of sweat.
For him, he never thought that these missiles could be loaded in such a small environment! If their operators were asked to do these things, there would definitely be problems.
So, he definitely had no other thoughts.
Besides, if these missile vehicles were loaded into the container, if they had not left a door that could be moved on the front of the vehicle, the driver inside could not even come out! Once the missile was loaded in, the driver inside would come out, and the doors at both ends would be completely sealed, and there was no idea what was installed inside.
Twenty missiles were installed shortly after dark until they were about to be dawn.
There are also some missile launchers, which are also loaded in containers. These containers are supported by some brackets and then placed with heavy containers for transporting machinery and equipment, porcelain and other handicrafts produced in China! Of course, there are also some wheat and other materials produced in China...
After all, there are not many things that China can export to Saudi Arabia today.
A container freighter, if it is just transporting some strange-sized containers, will easily be suspected.
"Okay, these missiles will be transported to Saudi Arabia in more than 20 days. At that time, this will become the east wind of Allah!" Liu Yijiu was very concerned about the Saudis' title of this medium-range strategic missile.
After all, there is probably no chance to export this thing again in the future.
"Liu, thank you very much! If it weren't for you, our Allah wouldn't have a powerful weapon like Dongfeng to protect it!" Bandal's heart would have long since flew up as he was quickly lifting some container freighters filled with other goods, even empty containers.
Once these missiles are transported to Saudi Arabia, with the continued training of the Chinese, Saudi Arabia's strategic missile forces will soon have combat effectiveness, and then Saudi Arabia will have strategic troops.
"These weapons are the guidance of you Allah, and you have obtained them in order to maintain peace! Your Highness, I hope you can use Allah's east wind to ensure the cause of Allah!" Liu Yijiu smiled evilly.
To him, it is not important to what Allah is not.
When Saudi Arabia discovers that Iran also has such strategic equipment, I wonder if they will be stunned.
Of course, Iran would not be so stupid as to shoot at them after knowing that the country opposite them also had the same killing weapon as them.
Perhaps, then a batch of Dongfeng-3 missiles will hit the middle of Baghdad?
Once this happens, there will be no suspense in the Iraq-Iraq War that will stop.
Perhaps, he was selling this kind of east wind of Allah to Khomeini and others for this purpose.
Moreover, giant pandas will start hype at this time, attracting the attention of some intelligence agencies in the Middle East and allowing their missile forces to avoid harassment.
At the same time, after the end of the Iran-Iraq War or after the two sides start fighting, the two giant pandas will be transported to Saudi Arabia. At that time, the people of the Middle East will completely forget the tragic war...
