1484 Not enough equipment, warships come together
Xie Kai's words are very realistic.
The country of Kuwait is too small, with a land area of more than 10,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 2 million.
It’s not that Xie Kai looked down on the Kuwaits, but judging from the benefits enjoyed by the Kuwaitian people, not many people are willing to join the army and endure hardship, let alone fight.
Until now, it is very difficult for Kuwait to maintain a conventional force of 20,000 people.
Samaco looked at Xie Kai with an awkward face.
"Samako, as a friend, I must be responsible for you. Many times, the more troops, the better, the more soldiers, the more elites are. Although the Iraqi army is huge, its combat effectiveness is not very good. Otherwise, the Iraqi people would not have established the Tikrit Division. The division has a staffing of more than 140,000, and its combat capability is comparable to most of the National Defense Forces, so its weapons and equipment are more advanced than the National Defense Forces, and its welfare benefits are better..."
Seeing that Samako looked embarrassed, Xie Kai paused for a moment and waited for him to digest.
"Kuwait has too many troops, which will have a serious impact on the national economic development. Kuwait has many jobs that require people to be responsible for. Although there are a large number of foreign workers now, the core work cannot be given to foreigners, right? These equipment requires educational officers and soldiers to operate. Once your army needs too many people, how can people who need domestic economic development in Kuwait solve the problem?"
Samaco sighed.
It's not that he is not sure about the situation.
Now, Samako only wants to drive away the Iraqi army on Kuwait territory and avenge Prince Fahd.
"As for the economic impact, there is no need to say much. The annual expenses consumed by such a large army will seriously affect your originally good economic situation. Such an army will consume a large amount of weapons and ammunition in every exercise, which requires money... Of course, for your country's huge fiscal revenue every year, these are not too much, but once the military expenditure accounts for too much of the fiscal revenue, the consequences..."
War is strong.
Could Kuwait do such a thing?
Xie Kai did not say that once the Saudi royal family does not approve it, all plans of Samako will be affected.
Even if it is just a small-scale army, it may be opposed by the royal family.
Small countries like Kuwait face strong enemies, even if the whole nation is armed, they will not be able to defeat the enemy. They live a comfortable life in their daily lives.
Samaco was silent for a long time and said to Xie Kai with a grateful look: "Thank you, my friend. Thank you! If it weren't for you, I might have taken the whole of Kuwait on a road of no return."
Xie Kai felt bitter in his heart.
The more armed forces in Kuwait, the better, so that he can sell more equipment.
The key is impossible.
"No, I know that you are driving the invaders from your territory to restore the country in order to avenge revenge. In peacetime, military construction must also keep up, and only when facing a strong enemy can we deal with it calmly... As long as the combat effectiveness is strong enough, the enemy will have to consider their losses before launching a war..."
The army must have deterrent power.
Samaco didn't say anything else, but looked at the plan that Xie Kai gave him seriously.
What about a 200 million US dollar defense construction plan!
According to the plan provided by Xie Kai, the entire Kuwait army will be composed of two mixed-organized brigades, with the two mixed-organized brigades being organized about 7,000 people, and the remaining ones are the Air Force, the Army Air Force, etc.
He could also clearly see that the combat strength of the entire mixed-organized brigade would be far beyond that of ordinary troops.
"Thank you, why are there no air defense or armed helicopters in the equipment you provide?"
"Didn't you buy 20 Feideng-359?"
"Just 20 vehicles are not enough. Most of the flying shield-359 in our country were destroyed by the damn Iraqi invaders, and those that were not destroyed were also seized..."
Under the bombing of Iraqi troops, the Kuwaiti army abandoned their armor.
With bombing in the air, all the heavy equipment failed to leave Kuwait.
Samaco is now a commander.
He didn't have an armored vehicle or a cannon in his hand.
The defensive minister should be.
Fortunately, the king approved $5 billion in funding to purchase equipment and reorganize the Kuwaiti army.
"Flying Shield-359 consumes ammunition too quickly, and this type of jet fighter used for attack is not ideal, and it requires medium and long-range air defense missiles..."
Xie Kai did not deceive Samako.
He knew that the Kuwaiti people were very satisfied with the effect of the Flying Shield-359. However, the Kuwaiti people only killed the Iraqi jet fighter by the blind cat and hit the dead rat.
If you really encounter a more cautious air force, these flying shield-359s can only become targets.
Failure to achieve the effect the Kuwaits want will eventually have a serious impact on the reputation of the 404 equipment.
Samako shook his head and said, "No, we only need this! Although the ammunition is consumed faster, we can still bear it. It is much more useful than anti-aircraft guns and the effect is very good."
"Purchase 40 flying shields first-359!"
When the customer requested a purchase, Xie Kai naturally could not refuse.
If the business delivered to the door is rejected, it is not a qualified arms dealer.
He nodded and agreed to sell 40 Feidun-359s to Kuwait, and suggested that the Feidun-359 be equipped with armored forces in the same way as Iraqi.
Xie Kai could only refuse the armed helicopter proposed by Samako.
"Samako, we are really powerless to do this. Our unit does not produce armed helicopters, and even transport helicopters. Our domestic performance is not very good. We are currently developing... Given your relationship with Western countries, I suggest you can purchase from the United States or other Western countries so that you can quickly gain combat effectiveness... For example, purchase American Apache armed helicopters to support ground armored aircraft cluster operations."
It’s not that Xie Kai doesn’t want to sell armed helicopters.
The helicopter project studied by the base has not yet completed the trial production of the prototype.
This business can only be lost.
Samaco nodded, agreeing with Xie Kai's suggestion.
"I report to His Majesty the King immediately, and sign the contract immediately if the King approves."
The Kuwaiti people didn't talk about the price at all.
Xie Kai breathed a sigh of relief and finally collected about $5 billion of Kuwaitian equipment.
Of course, the premise is that the Kuwaits are willing to purchase two 053h3 frigates.
"You're not enough for $5 billion!"
Wang Guilin looked at Xie Kailuo's list and quickly calculated the total amount.
Even if Xie Kai equipped two mixed brigades of Kuwait, all the equipment would not be able to reach a total amount of US$5 billion.
"It's true that there is no $5 billion, not counting the 50% emergency delivery payment, only about $3 billion. If Samako agrees to purchase two 053-h3 missile frigates, it's not much worse. We can't get enough $5 billion to sell equipment to them, and strategically level cannot be sold."
Zheng Yucheng immediately shook his head, "This is not possible. The 5 billion US dollars must be kept. We need this money."
Zheng Yucheng doesn't want Kuwait to have 5 billion US dollars and excess funds to purchase equipment from other countries.
I finally had a chance, but after passing this village, I wouldn't have this store.
How could Zheng Yucheng allow such a thing to happen?
Xie Kai looked at Zheng Yucheng, and he also did not want Kuwait to purchase equipment from other countries.
"Our weapons and equipment cannot be sold at all. If we dare to sell them, they dare not buy them. What's more, we dare not sell them?"
The things Xie Kai refers to are all strategic.
Whether it is a strategic missile or a strategic nuclear submarine, no matter how hard Kuwait wants it, it cannot be sold to them.
A country with a small population and a small land area will not produce deterrence, but will instead bring disaster.
Just like when Sha Damu was engaged in nuclear research, he was bombed by the Israelites before he succeeded.
Zheng Yucheng said domineeringly: "I don't care about that much. Kuwait's $5 billion must be kept. Since there is not enough weapons and equipment, use something else to make up. Only by keeping the money can the base be better. Anyway, your father takes over the 404 base, you can weigh it yourself."
The old guy actually threatened himself with his father.
Isn't there any way I can do it?
I don't know what equipment I can sell to make up $5 billion.
Xie Kai thought to himself that it would be great if there were simple versions of stealth fighters like the J-31, and a batch of fighters could sell for 5 billion US dollars.
Of course, Kuwait may not necessarily be really expensive.
But to now, even if the Kuwaits set up two mixed-organized brigades, the price of all weapons and equipment is not enough to reach US$5 billion.
As a non-strategic force, a brigade is equipped with nearly $1.5 billion of conventional weapons and equipment, which is already amazing in the whole world.
If it is a strategic force used to deliver mushroom eggs, even $10 billion is not necessarily enough.
Should I sell it to Kuwaiti patrol boats?
That thing is worthless.
Xie Kai also does not want the Kuwaits to invest their money in other countries.
The opportunity was in front of him, but he really couldn't find more to sell.
Kuwait is too small.
Even if it is bigger and more armed forces, it is OK.
Zheng Yucheng looked at Xie Kai and reminded him: "Now the Kuwait government is willing to increase the 50% emergency purchase payment. If he loses such an opportunity, it will be difficult to have such an easy opportunity to make money in the future."
really.
There are too much profits.
Who is willing to give up easily if you get so much profit out of thin air?
"Everyone knows this. However, it is their request to deliver as soon as possible. It is not easy to deliver all weapons and equipment within half a year of signing the contract. It is not easy to increase the huge productivity in the short term... But the key is that if the additional 50% is included, it is easy to collect the two brigades."
Everyone wants to take down all the $5 billion in Kuwait.
It is a rare opportunity to encounter such a Kuwait.
After the Americans helped Kuwait restore its country, it is unlikely that Kuwait will continue to purchase weapons and equipment from the 404 on a large scale.
Xie Kai knew the direction of future historical development, so he naturally knew this.
