Chapter 555: The Big Deal
Chapter 555: Big deal
"Sarah, are you interested in going to Korea to have fun?" Mu Yang returned to the hotel they stayed in and said to Sarah.
"Are you going to Korea? Is there anything fun in Korea? What's the most famous here?" Sarah asked.
"Oh, plastic surgery."
Sarah is so beautiful and has a very good figure, so she doesn't need plastic surgery at all. However, Mu Yang thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Apart from what is the most famous Korean version of plastic surgery, Jeju Island is good, but compared with the Maldives and the Mediterranean, it's just that.
Mu Yang brought Sarah and Coo M to Seoul, South Korea. After all, they were not specifically for tourism. Mu Yang’s target was the THAAD missile defense system, and South Korea deployed them at the Usan Air Force Base south of Seoul, which is also the location of the South Korean Air Force Operations Command, less than 100 kilometers away from Seoul.
South Korea has arranged the missile system here because the THAAD system firepower range can cover two-thirds of South Korea's range, and has good defense depth to the north and northwest, and has the conditions for secondary interception, which is the most superior from a military perspective.
The full name of the THAAD missile defense system is "last high-altitude area defense system". It can intercept incoming short-range and medium-range ballistic missiles inside and outside the atmosphere. It is an important part of the US ballistic missile defense system and is said to be the only defense system that can intercept missiles outside the atmosphere.
The system has a maximum firing height of 150 kilometers and a maximum range of 300 kilometers. Its effective combat radius for typical ballistic targets is about 200 kilometers. That is to say, it has a medium-range interception capability for medium-range ballistic missiles with a range of less than 3,500 kilometers, and a final interception capability for medium-range ballistic missiles with a range of more than 3,500 kilometers.
What can be compared with this is that Russia's S-400 system can match it. China is also developing its own defense system, but its level is still far behind that of the United States and Russia.
There is a reason why Rick was the first to come to China, because Americans will never sell THAAD missile systems to China. Moreover, the Chinese are rich and have invested a lot in weapons now. China is definitely interested in developing a THAAD system for research. The Chinese have a terrifying copying ability, and the world's number one.
Many reasons combined make Rick the first choice for China.
Ethan Rick took Kyle into China. In a hotel in Qingdao, Rick met the person he was looking for on this trip.
"Mr. Li Wei, it's been a long time since we met." Ethan Reek greeted warmly.
Li Wei looks ordinary and is only over 1.7 meters tall, so he is not considered a kuiwei. He is just a very ordinary Chinese. If someone who is not interested in paying special attention, Li Wei's occasionally sharp eyes would definitely think that he was an ordinary civil servant.
But he didn't know that Li Wei was China's largest private weapons businessman. His identity includes both explicit and private aspects, which shows how powerful he is.
"Mr. Reck, you've been missing for a long time, oh, this one is." After Li Wei and Reck shook hands enthusiastically, they looked at Kyle. A stranger appeared. Although this place is in China, they have to ask clearly.
"My partner, Kyle," said Lake.
Li Wei shook hands with Kyle, saying hello. Li Wei did not come alone. A man in his thirties was following him, but he had never spoken and Li Wei did not mean to introduce him. The four of them sat down, and the man sat on Li Wei's side.
"This time I came here, I wanted to talk to you about a big business." Rick said.
"I like big business. I don't know if you want to buy weapons or sell technical information." After all, I have had contact with you before and have reached two transactions. Li Wei is more familiar with Reek's situation.
"No, I'm going to sell weapons this time, but I don't know if you need it." Rick said.
"Oh, sell weapons, Mr. Rick, please speak." Li Wei became interested.
This Rek should understand China's situation. China has never lacked basic weapons. In the international market, China is also the fourth largest weapon exporter. Although most of them sell some non-cutting weapons, the reputation of ordinary weapons and equipment is still good.
So Li Wei is sure that this Rek will never come to him to sell anything like AK47 and F4 grenades. Even if he has a Scud, he will not be able to show off his skills against China unless he comes with a harpoon missile. Since he dares to come to China to sell weapons and contact him, he must have his support.
"The THAAD system, the US THAAD missile defense system, has a complete set of command system platforms, fire control radar platforms, launch platforms, and equipped missiles."
After Rick said this, he felt a little guilty. He was also unsure of whether Mu Yang could get the THAAD system. However, if Mu Yang really got the THAAD system, he could make a fortune, so Rick had to bite the bullet and even go on.
After hearing what Rick said, Li Wei frowned. He knew Rick, so he knew that Rick could not have that much energy. If he got the THAAD system in the United States, was it to deceive him? It is unlikely that the other party was here to deceive him. Rick should know that the price of deceiving him is death. Rick should not be that stupid. Besides, if he doesn't see anything, he will not pay for it.
Li Wei looked straight into Rek's eyes, and the smile that had just hung on his face disappeared at all. At this moment, there was a hint of majesty and coldness, "Mr. Ethan Rek, you have to know that we arms merchants cannot joke around at will."
"Of course, I promise, oh, okay, actually I should be a middleman, responsible for contacting this matter, but I came to China not to deceive you specifically. You know, that would not do me any good." Rick said.
Li Wei has China behind his back. Among the ranks of weapon merchants, he is definitely a big crocodile. If it weren't for Rick who had sold weapons information to Li Wei twice and thus formed a relationship, Rick wouldn't have been able to get along with Li Wei's line.
Now that Li Wei suddenly showed his power, Rick couldn't stand it anymore and told the truth. If Mu Yang really couldn't get the THAAD system, his own trouble would be much smaller.
Li Wei looked at Kyle and asked, "Is Mr. Kyle the business this time the company is leading it?"
"No, I'm just a subordinate, my boss has the final say in this matter." Kyle said.
"Do I know you? Can Mr. Kyle introduce you?" Li Wei said.
"Not yet, but during the transaction, I think you will meet my boss." Kyle said.
"Okay, it seems that another person with energy appeared in the arms circle. Mr. Kyle, please help me give your boss a message, saying that I, Li Wei, are very willing to make friends with him." Li Wei said.
