v2 Chapter 1349： very embarrassing person 2

At this time, Prince Sultan admired the American general a little, and he was still talking nonsense here with his eyes open. Is there any misunderstanding, can't you see it. Now I'm not thinking about apologizing and agreeing to sell weapons and equipment; I still need to investigate. Could it be that the Arabs have wronged them? It seems that the time has come to make up their minds.

Prince Sultan: "I have sent this video back to my country; it will be broadcast at the next meeting of Arab countries. Let them know how Raytheon treats 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 questioned why Saudi Arabia was able to buy Soviet weapons and equipment, then there is no need to continue the discussion. Saudi Arabia's funds are all earned by exporting oil; they have not borrowed from the United States. Don't American military enterprises not Selling weapons and equipment to Saudi Arabia, we are not allowed to buy from other places.”

"What is Raytheon's attitude towards us Arabs? Is it necessary to continue cooperation with such a company!"

"General Dynamics is going to sell the B-24 bomber during World War II to the Arabs. How old is that aircraft and whether it can 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 industries, we cannot produce cutting-edge weapons and equipment. But we cannot allow soldiers to fight the enemy with weapons and equipment from World War II. Then once war is inevitable, we can only be slaughtered by others."

"It's a bit late, we have to go to the exhibition tomorrow, let's all rest early!"

This is obviously to drive him away, and Lieutenant General Braun has to leave first; there is no good way to let Prince Sultan let go. Now that the Soviet Union has lifted arms export restrictions, even the latest weapons and equipment are willing to sell to the Arab world; if the United States does not adjust its strategy, it is unknown whether the interests of the Arabian Peninsula can be preserved in the future.

At the same time, US President Ronald Reagan also urgently summoned Prince Bandar, Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the US. After seeing the video, Bandar's nose almost didn't get crooked. You must know that his father went to negotiate, and that kid from Raytheon actually said that. It seems that it really does not take Arabs seriously. In the future, the attitude towards the US military industry must be changed. This is no longer a matter of humiliating a Saudi prince, but looking down on the entire Arab world.

Reagan also wanted to understand 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 losses.

Prince Bandar certainly knew what Reagan meant and brought the tape to the White House. I just want to see how he can justify himself as the president of the US stock market. Among those who were humiliated, there was his father; he must not let it go, or who would care about the status of the Sultan family in the future.

Reagan said with a smile: "Ambassador Bandar, we haven't seen you for a long time. You must have heard of what happened in Paris. I don't know what the Saudi side means, or what the United States is not doing well."

As soon as I came up, I went straight to the topic. It seemed that Reagan was really angry.

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

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

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

When Reagan saw that three American companies all refused to buy weapons and equipment from Saudi Arabia and Iraq; he knew it was going to be bad. No wonder they will go to the Soviet Union, because the Americans themselves pushed Saudi Arabia to the Soviet Union. Anyone would do this. Who is that kid from Raytheon, who blatantly supported Israel in front of the Arabs.

What the **** was going on with the Raytheon management, sending a Jew over to Paris to attend the air show. Even if this kid doesn't humiliate people, isn't it clear that the conflict between Jews and Arabs is not clear. This is typical self-indulgent, and most importantly, the Arabs made very big concessions. Standard-1 anti-aircraft weapons are also available, and can even be exchanged for oil fields. If Saudi Arabia is allowed to broadcast this video, then the Arab world does not know how it will feel!

Some things can be done, but definitely not stated. If Raytheon is to gain a foothold in the market, it must change.

The executives of General Dynamics are more talented, and they even asked Arabs to buy planes during World War II; is this not taking people for fools!

Haven't these companies investigated clearly before that Saudi Arabia and Iraq already own the HH-01 Ghost stealth fighter-bomber produced by the Black Cloud Group; who would care about these World War II aircraft?

Gu Lai Is he blind and arrogant, or he doesn't look down on the Arabs too much.

At this time, Reagan himself knew that what he said just now was very inappropriate, and he questioned people directly as soon as he came up. Obviously it was the American company that was wrong first, so we still need to appease it. The petrodollar strategy must be firmly implemented.

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

"So 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 prohibited internationally can be exported."

Reagan, as the president, still had a strong guarantee, but at this time Prince Bandar felt nothing. As the eldest son of the Sultan family, he not only knew about some of his father's decisions, but even discussed them with him. Those who can send things to the United States must be confidants. Therefore, Bandar is already clear about Saudi Arabia's future military plan.

At present, there are ground effect aircraft and HH-01 Ghost, a stealth bomber that the United States does not have. 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 the Saudi military is definitely not weak.

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

The rest are naval equipment and land weapons, and Saudi Arabia is not worried about this. After all, they don't have a border with Israel, and there's not much threat on land. And what Prince Sultan meant was that he would visit Moscow in the near future; Soviet submarines were more advanced than the United States. Even if Saudi Arabia has the funds to maintain an aircraft carrier, it is estimated that the United States does not want to see Saudi Arabia have it.

With the current strength, submarines may be a good choice. But the goodwill shown by Reagan should continue.

Prince Bandar: "Thank you, Your Excellency, the situation in the Middle East. You must be very aware of the situation in the Middle East. If Saudi Arabia does not have weapons to protect itself, it is likely to be attacked. No one wants to see war. Saudi Arabia buys so many weapons and equipment, It's not to bully others at all, it's mainly to have the ability to protect yourself."

"If the United States is willing to sell advanced weapons and equipment, Saudi Arabia is of course grateful. But it is similar to weapons during World War II, so don't go on. 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 is well-founded, and Reagan can't fault anything.

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

Reagan: "Winber and the Minister, can you give me an explanation At this time, Weinberg also knew that what he should face, he couldn't dodge if he wanted to. So he said directly: "McDonnell Douglas" The company has applied to the Ministry of Defense; however, the c-17 transport aircraft belongs to the latest weapons and equipment in the United States and must not be exported at present. I just didn't expect Saudi Arabia and Iraq to be so fast. I wonder if there is something tricky here, otherwise how can I find the Soviet Union directly. "

In fact, Reagan also doubted it, but what's the use of talking about it now. Even if there is something tricky, can it be possible to cancel the contract between the Soviet Union and Saudi Arabia. If you really dare to do that; a poor and crazy old man, it is estimated that he can do anything.

Reagan: "Are the Soviet S-300 anti-aircraft missiles, Tu-22M, and Il-76 transport aircraft their active equipment? U.S. national security is very important, but only if the company makes a profit will there be funds for new product development."

"Which one of the U.S. military-industrial enterprises has a better life at the moment. Do they have to rely on state subsidies all the time? If the people know that, I, the president, and you, the secretary of defense, can go home."

"A lot of things have to learn to be flexible, and I don't want to see this happen. The United States' Middle East strategy is very important, and I hope the military will make necessary concessions."
