Chapter 1686

However, no matter how hard the editor and director of new defense observation felt, Zhang Ju, as a guest, was completely happy. In the program that night, Zhang Ju, who was already very eloquent, was eloquent when recording the program. The original half-hour program was stunned by this for more than an hour.

God's comments during the Iraq war, for example, when commenting on China's take-off of tnb-2 series UAVs, Zhang Bureau said without concealment: "it's not necessary to ask. Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have even bought the production line of this UAV. Isn't this the best proof? Well, only those who have used it know that, like Japan and South Korea, it's easy to have an accident before the prototype stage is over, and it will be very troublesome in the future..."

There are many similar words in the program. I almost collapsed the editor and director of new defense observation. How can I cut so many materials?

It's less than an hour before the program is officially broadcast. Forget it, continue to fight!

No matter how busy the editor and director of new defense watch is, one thing is certain that his small appearance is not on the table compared with his peers in other media at the Abu Dhabi Defense Exhibition.

Because in the past four hours, they finally understand what local tyrants are.

First, the Saudi defense minister attended the signing ceremony of the agreement with British bea company on purchasing "typhoon" fighters.

This contract has been circulated in the industry for a long time, but its final landing still shocked the industry, because the purchase quantity of the contract is not the 50 aircraft previously expected, but a full 70 aircraft, and the price is as high as US $10.5 billion. Calculated, the unit price of "typhoon" fighter is as high as US $150 million.

This is only the procurement cost of the "typhoon" fighter, and the subsequent training cost, maintenance cost and spare parts procurement cost are more than $10 billion contracts.

In other words, British bea systems company used their gorgeous public relations means to impress the purchase desire of those in power in Saudi Arabia.

However, just one hour later, Prince Salman, chairman of Riyadh Industrial Committee, chairman of Riyadh foundation and chairman and CEO of China Tengfei, attended the production and transfer ceremony of tnb-2e UAV and signed the determined contract.

More unexpectedly, when the two sides exchanged the contract text, Prince Salman directly handed a US $5 billion Swiss bank draft to Zhuang Jianye as an advance payment for the agreement.

You know, this is a big contract worth US $20 billion, which means that Saudi Arabia signed a large purchase order of more than US $40 billion in just over an hour.

This pride is incomparable.

However, it is little known that behind this is the complete break between Prince Salman and Hamilton, and even almost tear his face directly with his uncle, the current king of Saudi Arabia.

The reason is also very simple. Hamilton saw Prince Salman begin to distrust the "typhoon" fighter. He simply crossed this young prince who is not familiar with the world and can only make great achievements and directly found the current king of Saudi Arabia.

The king's consideration is naturally much more far-reaching than that of Prince Salman.

Is Saudi Arabia more interested in typhoon fighters?

In terms of performance, Saudi Arabia actually prefers the "gust" of France. It is not only that France has more favorable conditions. The most important thing is that the "gust" fighter is much better than the "typhoon" fighter in mobility and multi mission capability.

But even so, Saudi Arabia still did not choose the French "gust" but the slightly inferior "typhoon" fighter. Why?

Not yet. Many of the Saudi royal family's private money is taken care of by British financial groups. Coupled with the real estate, real estate and farms all over the UK, the relationship between the Saudi royal family and the UK has a deep-seated relationship unimaginable to outsiders.

In addition, many key production technologies and equipment of Saudi Aramco energy company depend on the help of British North Sea oil company, so it is impossible for Saudi Arabia to turn against the British in any way.

From this perspective, Saudi Arabia's purchase of British "typhoon" fighters is more from the perspective of comprehensive factors than from a purely military perspective.

Prince Salman naturally understood the truth, but Hamilton crossed his handler, and the old king also left him alone. Salman finally reached an agreement with Hamilton itself, which was tantamount to treating him as a dispensable outsider!

More importantly, the Kingdom's actions have caused a series of chain reactions in Saudi Arabia, that is, many people think that the old king's beating on Prince Salman makes him not too arrogant. I'm not dead yet and can't tolerate your ambition to continue to expand.

Based on this, many opponents of Salman began to be ready to take this opportunity to overthrow Prince Salman.

Can Prince Salman bear it?

You should know that the current king is a rare weak king in Saudi Arabia's history. How could he sit on the throne without the help of their uncle and brother Salman?

Now, if you cross the river, you'll tear down the bridge and forget your righteousness when you get profits. In that case, there's nothing to say. Prince Salman just ran away.

If you don't buy the Typhoon fighter from British bea systems, I'll buy the tnb-2 UAV production line that takes off in China.

I not only bought it, but also paid the advance payment directly to see who was more arrogant than who.

Originally, the old king disdained Prince Salman's willfulness. He felt that he was now in a stable position. It was easy to move the Salman family. If Prince Salman dared to jump, it would be just right to uproot the faction that threatened his throne the most.

Originally, the old king was ready and waiting for the attack, but the result was not Prince Salman's stubbornness, but the old king's brother. The current crown prince was seriously ill and couldn't afford to work.

That's all. The key is that Prince Salman's father went into the palace to meet the old king soon after the news came out. No one knows what he said, but one thing is certain that the old king took a laissez faire attitude towards Prince Salman's willfulness.

Not only that, but also $2 million was allocated from state funds for Prince Salman's aviation manufacturing construction plan.

It is a clear signal to the outside world that the king still favors the salmans.

Even some people close to the Saudi royal family are saying that the next crown prince must be the father of Prince Salman.

That's final. Now that the crown prince is now a vegetable, he will soon see his life. The father of Prince Salman has the final say. If the old man is working hard, he may not be able to drive the old king even after a few years.

So this time, the Saudi Arabia's big purchase is not so much the Middle East local tyrant's lack of money as the spillover of their effectiveness after the fierce palace fight
