Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

At this time, Prince Sultan was somewhat impressed by the American general, who could still tell lies here with his eyes open. Is there a misunderstanding? You can't tell. Now, instead of thinking about apologizing and agreeing to sell weapons and equipment, he still wants to investigate.

.could it be that the Arabs had wronged them? It seemed that it was time to make up their minds.

Prince Sultan: "I have sent this video back to China and will broadcast it at the next Arab conference. Let them know what Raytheon thinks of us Arabs. Although we do not have the ability to sanction any company, we will not cooperate.

, it can still be done.”

"If General Braun still questions why Saudi Arabia can purchase Soviet weapons and equipment, then there is no need to continue talking. Saudi Arabia earns its funds from exporting oil; it does not borrow money from the United States. Don't American military industrial enterprises

We are not allowed to sell weapons and equipment to Saudi Arabia from other places."

"What is Raytheon's attitude towards us Arabs? Is there any need to continue cooperation with such a company?"

"General Dynamics actually wants to sell the B-24 bomber fighter from World War II to the Arabs. How old is that aircraft and can it adapt to the modern war environment? As an expert in this field, I don't think I need to explain too much.

"Although we Arabs do not have modern industry and cannot produce cutting-edge weapons and equipment, we cannot allow soldiers to fight the enemy with weapons and equipment from World War II. Then once war is inevitable, we will only be at the mercy of others."

"It's a bit late. We have to go to the exhibition tomorrow. Let's all go to bed early!"

This was obviously to drive him away, so Lieutenant General Braun had no choice but to leave first; there was currently no good way to make Prince Sultan relent. Now that the Soviet Union has relaxed its arms export restrictions, even the latest weapons and equipment are willing to be sold to Arabia.

world; if the United States does not adjust its strategy, it is unknown whether it can preserve the interests of the Arabian Peninsula in the future.

At the same time, U.S. President Ronald Reagan also urgently summoned Prince Bandar, the Saudi ambassador to the United States. After seeing the video, Bandar's nose almost became angry. You know, his father went to negotiate, and the guy from Raytheon Company actually said this.

It seems that they really don’t take the Arabs seriously. In the future, the attitude towards the US military industry must change. This is no longer a matter of humiliating a Saudi prince, but looking down on the entire Arab world.

Reagan also wanted to find out what was going on. Saudi Arabia was one of the most important allies of the United States; if it fell to the Soviet Union, the United States could not afford such a loss.

Of course, Prince Bandar knew what Reagan meant and came to the White House with the videotape. He just wanted to see how he could justify himself as the president of the United States. Among the people who were humiliated was his father; he must not let it go, otherwise who would care in the future.

The status of the Sultan family.

Reagan smiled and said: "Ambassador Bandar, we haven't seen each other for a long time. You must have heard about what happened in Paris. I don't know what Saudi Arabia means, or whether there is something that the United States cannot do well."

We went straight to the topic right from the beginning, and it seemed that Reagan was really angry.

Prince Bandar was not polite and said directly: "Your Excellency, do you really not know what American companies did at the Paris Air Show?"

"I have a videotape here, which was sent by my father, Prince Sultan. Your Excellency, the President, can read it and make a judgment on whether Saudi Arabia's actions are appropriate."

The White House has all kinds of playback equipment, so I started watching it in the President's Office.

When Reagan saw that the three American companies all refused to buy weapons and equipment from Saudi Arabia and Iraq, he knew that he was going to be a bad influence. No wonder they went to the Soviet Union. This was the Americans themselves pushing Saudi Arabia to the Soviet Union. Anyone would do the same, Thor

Who is that guy in the company? He blatantly supports Israel in front of the Arabs.

What on earth is going on with Raytheon's management to send a Jew to Paris to participate in the air show? Even if this kid doesn't humiliate others, doesn't he still understand the conflict between Jews and Arabs? This is a typical self-inflicted trouble. The most important thing is

The Arabs have made very big concessions. Standard-1 anti-aircraft weapons are also available, and they can even be exchanged for oil fields. If Saudi Arabia is allowed to play this video, then I don’t know how the Arab world will feel!

There are things that can be done, but things can never be said. If Raytheon wants to stay in the market, it must make changes.

The executives of General Dynamics are more talented and actually want the Arabs to buy World War II-era aircraft; isn’t this making them look like fools!

Valley

Didn't these companies investigate clearly before that Saudi Arabia and Iraq already have the hh-01 Phantom stealth fighter bomber produced by the Black Cloud Group? Who would be interested in these World War II aircraft?

Is it just blind arrogance, or is it too little regard for the Arabs?

At this time, Reagan himself knew that what he just said was very inappropriate, and he actually questioned others directly. It was obvious that the American company was at fault first, so he still wanted to appease him. The petrodollar strategy must be firmly implemented.

Reagan: "I'm very sorry. I don't know the specific circumstances of the matter. If Ambassador Bandar hadn't provided actual evidence, he would have been almost deceived by the people below. The United States and Saudi Arabia have always had a strategic or partnership relationship, and this will never change."

"Therefore, I will urge Congress and the military to come up with a plan; as long as Saudi Arabia needs it, weapons and equipment that are not banned internationally can be exported."

As president, Reagan's guarantee was still very strong, but Prince Bandar felt nothing at this time. As the eldest son of the Sultan family, he not only knew about some of his father's decisions, but would even discuss them with him. Anyone who could be sent to the United States to deliver things would definitely

He is also a confidant. Therefore, Bandar already knows everything about Saudi Arabia's future military industrial plans.

At present, it has ground-effect aircraft, the hh-01 Phantom, a stealth bomber that is not available in the United States. Coupled with the latest air defense missile purchased from Su Liang this time, combined with some other weapons and equipment, it can be said that Saudi Arabia's military strength is definitely not weak.

The most important thing is that Heiyun Group intends to jointly develop third-generation fighter jets with Saudi Arabia. In fact, it cannot be said to be joint research and development; after all, it has obtained all the technology and can just build a factory directly.

The rest is naval equipment and land weapons. Saudi Arabia is not worried about this aspect. After all, they are not bordering Israel and there is not much threat on land. Moreover, Prince Sultan intends to visit Moscow in the near future; Soviet submarines, but

More advanced than the United States. Even if Saudi Arabia has the funds to raise aircraft carriers, the United States is probably not willing to see Saudi Arabia possess them.

With the current strength, submarines may be a good choice. However, the goodwill shown by Reagan must be continued.

Prince Bandar: "Thank you, Mr. President. You must be very aware of the situation in the Middle East. If Saudi Arabia does not have the weapons to protect itself, it is likely to be attacked. No one wants to see a war. Saudi Arabia has purchased so many weapons and equipment.

It’s not to bully others at all, it’s mainly to have the ability to protect myself.”

"If the United States is willing to sell advanced weapons and equipment, Saudi Arabia will certainly be grateful. But if it is similar to the weapons during World War II, it is better not to continue talking about it. After all, Saudi Arabia has not yet established the idea of ​​​​a military museum. I hope you can understand."

It can be said that Bandar was justified and Reagan could not find any fault.

After Bandar left, only Secretary of Defense Weinberg and Reagan were left. The old boy didn't say a word just now. He must know something.

Reagan: "Wembert and Secretary, can you give me an explanation?"

At this time, Weinberg also knew that he could not hide from what he had to face. So he said directly: "McDonnell Douglas has applied to the Department of Defense; however, the C-17 transport aircraft is the latest weaponry and equipment of the United States. Currently,

It must not be exported. I just didn’t expect Saudi Arabia and Iraq to be so quick. I wonder if there is something fishy here, otherwise how could they find the Soviet Union directly.”

In fact, Reagan had doubts about it, but what's the use of talking about it now? Even if there was something fishy, ​​how could he get the Soviet Union and Saudi Arabia to cancel the contract? If he really dared to do that, this old man who is so poor and crazy would probably be able to do anything.

.

Reagan: "Are the Soviet Union's S-300 anti-aircraft missiles, Tu-22m, and IL-76 transport aircraft their active equipment? U.S. national security is very important, but only when companies make profits can they have funds for new product research and development."

"Which U.S. military-industrial enterprise is currently having an easier time? Do we have to rely on state subsidies all the time? If we let the people know, I, the president, and you, the defense minister, can go home."

"A lot of things have to be adapted. I don't want to see this happen again. The U.S.'s Middle East strategy is very important, and I hope the military will make necessary concessions."
