Dominate South Asia

Saudi Arabia, located on the Arabian Peninsula in the Middle East, borders the Persian Gulf to the east, the Red Sea to the west, and borders Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Yemen and other countries. Before the discovery of oil, Saudi Arabia was still a backward agricultural country, mainly relying on fishing for a living. After the discovery of oil, Saudi Arabia became the "Oil Kingdom", ranking first in the world in terms of oil reserves and production, and also becoming the world's largest oil reserve and production country. One of the richest countries.

In Middle Eastern countries, there is black gold buried under the soil, which makes their countries rich. At the same time, they also develop the disease of wealth. Saudi Arabia’s army has the best equipment in the world, and the military treatment is also the best. , so good that even the maintenance of weapons is carried out by foreigners. Their army has no combat effectiveness at all.

Therefore, Saudi Arabia's defense policy is tilted towards the United States, and the United States also needs to rely on the oil economy to stimulate its own economy. It is also a kind of external reliance. For example, now, under the control of the United States, all oil-producing countries are increasing oil production, leading to a downturn in world oil prices, was to hit the Soviet economy, and the Soviet Union The Soviet Union relied on exporting oil in exchange for foreign exchange. But now, the cost of extracting oil under the permafrost on plateaus in the Soviet Union is very high and has exceeded the selling price. The Soviet Union is selling oil at a loss, which has severely hit the Soviet economy. The final collapse of the Soviet Union had a lot to do with this economic struggle.

Saudi Arabia is a kingdom, and the current ruler is King Fahd, the younger brother of the previous king.

When Mhamad and his party came to Saudi Arabia, they were cordially summoned by the King of Saudi Arabia.

"Dear Mr. King, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan share the same faith. Over the past few years, Saudi Arabia has supported Pakistan's just struggle. We are very grateful." Mhamad said.

"The Soviets invaded Afghanistan. People with a sense of justice around the world will feel indignant." King Fahd said: "We support the just Pakistan and the Afghan people."

Saudi Arabia will not change this position.

"War will make the army stronger. An army that has been tempered by the flames of war is the real army." Mhamad said.

When Mhamad said this. King Fahd's face suddenly darkened. Mhamad was absolutely right. A country's army can only grow in the flames of war, while its own country's army is pampered. Such an army cannot fight. capable.

The Middle East is not peaceful either. For example, Iraq is currently fighting a life-and-death fight with Iran. Iraq continues to purchase weapons and equipment and has become one of the top military powers in the Middle East.

Saudi Arabia and Iraq share a long national border. Regardless of whether the two sides have the same beliefs or not, in this case, Iraq will become a naked threat to Saudi Arabia.

Because King Fahd knew very well that Saddam also had a dream of unifying the Middle East in his heart. Any powerful country is a nightmare for its neighboring countries. Only balance can make both sides feel balanced.

"Your Majesty the King?" Hamad asked.

Only then did King Fahd come back from his thoughts and looked at Mhamad with a smile: "Mhamad, our army's combat effectiveness is too poor."

"If you need it, we in Pakistan are willing to help. For example, we can send instructors to help your country train its army. For example, one of our infantry divisions can be transferred to your country to help your country guard its borders." Mhammad said lightly. said.

Pakistan's army. Now it is definitely a strong one. Pakistan’s air force can beat the Soviets to pieces. This has been proven in front of the whole world. And Saudi Arabia’s air force has the same American equipment as Pakistan’s. Yes, this means that Pakistani pilots can easily fly Saudi air force fighters to help Saudi Arabia fight, or help Saudi Arabia defend its airspace. Among other things, Iran across the strait may violate Saudi airspace.

This is not impossible. In later generations, Saudi Arabia sincerely invited Pakistan to station troops in Saudi Arabia.

Of course, Hamad did this not only to help Saudi Arabia defend their country, but more importantly, to make money!

Sure enough, when Hamad said this, King Fahd's eyes suddenly lit up: "If so, that would be great! We very much welcome instructors from your country to come to us to train our soldiers!"

"On the air force side, we need a team of dozens of instructors to help us train pilots." King Fahd continued: "On the army side, we would like to ask one of your armored divisions to help us guard the Iraqi border. Region. As for the fee, we are willing to pay a commission of 100 million per year. What do you think?”

Saudi Arabia has a lot of money. It pays a commission of 100 million US dollars per year for renting an armored division and dozens of people from the air force. This deal is naturally very cost-effective.

Of course, Mhamad will not mobilize the real tank troops. It will be enough to transfer an infantry division. The M1 tanks equipped by Saudi Arabia, mainly American, were purchased after the Gulf War, which just happened to replace their own tanks. Infantry division, converted into a tank division.

As for the Air Force, it can also familiarize itself with the performance of the US-made F-15 fighter jets. For Pakistan, it can now kill two birds with one stone and there is no need for Pakistan to refuse.

"We are very willing to help our friends." Muhammad said, "However, conventional weapons alone are not enough."

Mhammad's words made King Fahd stunned again.

"Israel is the enemy of all countries in the Middle East, and the army of this country is the most powerful, and it has received full support from the United States." Muhammad said.

This is almost obvious. In several Middle East wars, the surrounding Arab countries contributed money and manpower. As a result, after several battles, Palestine was not established, and Israel became bigger and bigger.

"Now, this country is developing nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles. If they succeed in developing them, no country around will have the means to resist." Muhammad continued.

This is not sensational. There have always been rumors that Israel is developing nuclear weapons, and their ballistic missiles are open and aboveboard.

"Yes, we also want to import ballistic missiles from the United States. Unfortunately, the United States can only export missiles with a range of less than 200 kilometers to us at most." King Fahd said.

Saudi Arabia and the United States are considered to be a quasi-military alliance. The United States is still very unsupportive of Saudi Arabia in this regard. Saudi Arabia wants to introduce ground-to-ground missiles, and the United States will never be satisfied.

"In fact, your majesty's vision does not have to only look at the Western world." Muhammad said.

Don't only look at the Western world? What does it mean? King Fahd came back to his senses. Does it mean the Eastern countries? The ballistic missile technology of this country is also very powerful. Just look at the other party's aerospace industry. It is one of the few countries that can send satellites into space!

Moreover, this country is now undergoing reform and opening up, and it is very in need of funds. Saudi Arabia has money, and there is no problem with the funds for purchase. The key is the channel for purchase.

Until now, Saudi Arabia has not had any dealings with Eastern countries. In terms of international relations, Saudi Arabia is still establishing diplomatic relations with Taiwan.

This matter seems to be difficult to handle.

"As far as I know, Eastern countries have a medium-range ballistic missile with a range of nearly 3,000 kilometers. If it is equipped to Saudi Arabia, as long as a base is established in a desert area, it can cover Israel, Iran, and Iraq." Muhammad said.

After Muhammad said this, King Fahd was immediately tempted. Israel and Iran are both enemies of the Arab world, and Saddam in Iraq has always been ambitious. These must be guarded against.

Ballistic missiles are deterrent weapons. As long as they exist, they can bring great shock to the enemy. Even if there are no nuclear weapons, even if it is just an ordinary warhead or a biological and chemical warhead, it can bring a huge deterrent effect to the enemy!

"We are very willing to introduce this kind of missile." King Fahd said, "Even if it costs a huge amount of money, it is worth it."

"If you are willing, we in Pakistan are willing to act as a matchmaker for your country." Muhammad said, "This thing is a strategic weapon. It is difficult for us to operate it..."

"If you can get it for us, we are willing to pay a commission of 500 million US dollars for your operation." King Fahd said, "We are absolutely not stingy in maintaining our national security."

This is what they are waiting for. If they secretly take advantage of it, Saudi Arabia may find out and will be dissatisfied with Pakistan. Now, they are earning commissions, which is not easy to earn. How many departments need to be communicated...

"If you really need it, we are willing to do our best to let you get this kind of missile." Muhammad said, "This matter must be kept secret and the Americans must not know about it."

"Of course." King Fahd said, "I will appoint Prince Sultan to be fully responsible for this matter. When you have reached an agreement, let Prince Sultan go to an Eastern country."

"That would be the best." Muhammad said. Saudi Arabia is indeed afraid that they can profit more from it, so they have to go to the Eastern countries themselves. Muhammad knows that this is not too difficult, because in history, Saudi Arabia had no one to introduce it, so they went there and sold it to them.

Julang 1 has been landed and changed to Dongfeng 21, which is also a medium-range missile. This is a solid missile, which can hit and run, while Dongfeng 3 still needs to be refueled, which is already behind. (To be continued ~^~)
