Chapter 1328 Contact Emotions 2
Upon hearing Bao Zixuan's analysis, Prince Sultan immediately understood what it meant. I believe that the relationship between this guy and the Soviet Union will allow the arms deal to be concluded smoothly. And they will help you think of how to deal with the Americans. Having such people help will really save you a lot of trouble. At present, Saudi Arabia does not dare to break up with the Americans, but if you do not sell me weapons and equipment, then you have no control over whose weapons I buy.
Bao Zixuan still has some confidence. He heard Xiao MacDonald mention it last time. Several military industry giants formed a so-called alliance, but differences arose at the beginning, and internal opinions were unified. But they all have their own little ones; the most important Jewish consortium is pushing behind, making it impossible to unite the front.
We are all listed companies, and every company has Jewish directors. The Arab world occupies a large part of the United States' largest arms exports. Therefore, everyone's opinion is that Europe can sell it at will, but Arab countries must impose certain restrictions. It just cannot bring out the most advanced weapons and equipment, otherwise it will be a huge military threat to Israel.
European countries themselves are very technologically advanced, and the number of weapons and equipment purchased from the United States is limited. Big players in the Middle East are still subject to restrictions; this so-called alliance is simply a joke.
Moreover, the American weapons introduced by Bao Zixuan to Prince Sultan this time are the most powerful equipment currently in service in the United States. Even exporting to Israel is a little troublesome, let alone Arab countries.
Of course Prince Sultan knows what Bao Shaofu means, but he can build a third-generation fighter production factory in Saudi Arabia. For Saudi Arabia, this is great news. So he said with a smile: "Then I will not buy the third-generation fighter jet this time. The remaining weapons and equipment will be as you say."
At this time, I heard that the second young master from Iraq was coming to visit. We are all acquaintances and have a good relationship with each other. Even now we can say that we are one of our own. Saudi Arabia has decided to marry Iraq.
Seeing that Prince Sultan was also there, the second young master first said hello to him.
Prince Sultan is about to become his elder. Although he is also his elder, after all, the relationship was not that close before. There must be absolute respect at this moment, and he also knows the relationship between the two people in front of him. It can be said that the relationship between Bao Zixuan and Prince Sultan may be closer.
Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "Second Young Master, you are late."
Hearing this, the second young master felt a little embarrassed. After all, Bao Zixuan made the request to him immediately, but it was delayed for some time because of discussions with the American Raytheon Company on the introduction of missiles. But what made him most angry was that the United States refused to let go; it was really very frustrating.
The second young master said embarrassedly: "I'm very sorry, it's my fault. I just discussed with the American Raytheon Company about the introduction of anti-aircraft missiles, but the other party refused to sell them no matter what."
When I heard that it was also for anti-aircraft missiles, I immediately felt that it was an opportunity. Prince Sultan also listened carefully. After all, he also wanted to negotiate with the other party.
Bao Zixuan: "What missiles does Iraq want to buy?"
There were no outsiders here. The second young master did not shy away from it and said directly: "The American Raytheon Company's Standard-1 anti-aircraft missile. I didn't expect that the other party wouldn't sell it, and it wouldn't be possible to increase the money."
In fact, the Americans are here to protect Israel, and the Second Young Master certainly knows this. But without advanced air defense missiles, Iraq would be easily attacked here.
At 16:00 on June 7, 1981, 8 Israeli F-16 and 6 F-15 fighter jets took off to form a large formation to perform a bombing mission. The reason for choosing this time period is also particular. According to the flight plan, it is close to evening when the formation flies over the target. At this time, the Iraqi air defense forces are the most relaxed and the operation is more likely to succeed.
After taking off, the fighter jet formation maintained radio silence throughout the entire process, flew at ultra-low altitude to avoid radar detection, and flew toward Baghdad along the border between Jordan and Saudi Arabia. The attack began at 18:30. Six F-15s were responsible for guarding the battlefield, and eight F-16 fighter jets were divided into two waves to conduct air strikes on the target. In each wave, four fighter jets dropped bombs at intervals of 5 seconds.
In less than 5 minutes, 14 bombs hit the Oslak reactor. The nuclear reactor that the Iraqis had worked hard for many years and had not yet officially started was shut down. Although the Iraqi air defense forces used anti-aircraft artillery and missiles to counterattack, the eight F-16 fighter jets involved in the operation returned to Israel unscathed.
If there are standard-1 air defense missiles, how can 14 Israeli fighter jets remain unscathed? As an important ally in the Middle East, the United States will certainly not do anything that harms Israel's interests. At the same time, Iraq was somewhat disappointed with Soviet anti-aircraft missiles. This time, we were not prepared to purchase at all; we just didn’t expect that American Thor would not give us face.
Hearing this, Prince Sultan knew that Saudi Arabia wanted to purchase Standard-2 anti-aircraft missiles, and the Americans would not agree. Even the old models will not be sold to the Arabs, let alone the equipment currently in use by the US military.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Because of Prince Sultan's incident just now, my suggestion is to directly purchase the Soviet S-300 anti-aircraft missile. This is definitely an anti-aircraft missile that subverts people's perception; and in the field of missiles, the Soviet Union has always We are ahead of the United States; we just haven’t exported the most advanced models before.”
"I will coordinate this time and help you get things done. But we still need two people to go to Raytheon Company to perform a show."
"As far as I know, the S-300 air defense missile uses the 48N6E missile with a maximum range of 150 kilometers, a warhead weighing 145 kilograms, and a flight speed of Mach 6."
"The missile uses the 64N6E three-coordinate fully automatic mid-to-high-altitude search radar, which can search for mid-to-high-altitude targets at a distance of 300 kilometers. In order to meet the needs of anti-stealth operations in special areas, the S-300 can be deployed on camouflaged positions in hills and forests. The -300 is also equipped with a 40V6 tower-type low-altitude search radar, and its search capability for low-altitude targets has a minimum interception altitude of 10 meters."
"The missile system has a launch speed of 3 seconds, can guide 12 missiles at the same time, and can engage 6 different targets at the same time. The system response speed is less than 15 seconds."
"The Soviets have indeed spent a lot of money; they have employed hundreds of top engineers in scientific research. However, their efforts have also paid off, and they have successfully built the best anti-aircraft missile in the world so far, and there is no one."
The two of them completely believed in Bao Zixuan. Especially Prince Sultan, after all, no matter what he does, this kid will not cheat his father-in-law.
Of course, the Second Young Master is also interested. The Soviet missile data is definitely stronger than the American standard series missiles. So he said with a smile: "You still have a way. How do you want us to act? You must cooperate fully. From now on, you are the director. We are all actors, but we have to make an agreement first. If the script is not good or the play is not performed well, it can be You can’t blame us.”
I didn't expect this kid to have such a humorous side, but it also reflected his absolute trust in Bao Shaofu. You must know that he is now the second-largest figure in the country, and not everyone can let him act.
Bao Zixuan: "In the past few days, you have been buying weapons and equipment with Prince Sultan. Tomorrow you will go to the American company first; Raytheon, General Dynamics, McDonnell Douglas, etc. are all going there. The boss of McDonnell Douglas is next door, and you will be there in a moment Go visit. It has to be a C-17, nothing else."
"Tell Little Macdonald that you have a ground-effect aircraft; if it is another transport aircraft, then there is no need to consider it. In short, the attitude must be firm. If McDonnell Douglas relents, it will definitely not suffer a loss if the C-17 is purchased."
Little Macdonald didn't know it yet, but Bao Zixuan was already digging a hole for him. The U.S. military will never agree to sell its most advanced strategic transport aircraft to Iraq. It is obvious that the business will not work. This is the result that Bao Zixuan wants; after it is completed, there will be nothing to do with the Soviet Union. It means that the U.S. military industry giant cannot tell the story of its suffering.
So Bao Shoufu introduced the previous plan in detail to the second young master of Iraq. Hearing this, the second young master immediately had an idea and said with a smile: "Today, the representative of Raytheon Company negotiating with me is a Jew. We will go to see him tomorrow. I hope His Highness the Prince will not be angry by then, after all, that guy's words are very unpleasant."
Prince Sultan smiled and said: "As long as it can achieve the desired effect, why bother with an ignorant person."
The old man has agreed, then things will be much easier to handle. And given the character of Jewish executives, they probably don’t want to sell even a single screw to the Arabs; let alone an anti-aircraft missile that can knock out Israeli aircraft.
Afterwards, several people communicated about the specific details to ensure that everything was safe, and then the two left.
Although he said he was leaving, he actually did not leave the hotel, but went directly to Little MacDonald's residence.
