For these reporters, the security personnel of the Saudi royal family stopped them hundreds of meters away from the convoy and prohibited all reporters from taking pictures.

Taking Salman in his own car, Cai Ruichen did not really take Salman to visit the arsenal.

Instead, he took him to the test range of weapons and equipment. Almost all the weapons and equipment of the Red Police were tested here. No matter what army weapons and equipment Salman wanted to see, he could see them here.

Salman, who came to the shooting range, asked with some surprise: "Mr. Cai, is this a shooting range?"

"That's right, there are a lot of factories. If you look at them one by one, you won't be able to see them all for ten days. Instead of going to those factories, it's better to appreciate our weapons and equipment first, and see what weapons the king likes. Then we go to the factories to see them." Look." Cai Ruichen explained.

When Salman heard it, he immediately understood Cai Ruichen's meaning. Although he didn't directly say that he wanted to buy the weapons and equipment of the Future Technology Group, it was obvious that this young man had already understood this point.

Otherwise, how could he bring himself to the weapon shooting range? Salman did not refuse this, nor did he deny his intention to buy weapons and equipment.

So he said simply: "I heard that the weapons and equipment of the Future Technology Group have all reached the world-class level. This time, I want to see it carefully."

"Our research and development of weapons and equipment is all to meet the needs of the battlefield. The environment here in the Middle East and the disturbing desert climate are the most adaptable." Cai Ruichen gave a brief introduction, and immediately asked: "I don't know what the king wants? What is the type of weaponry first?"

"Tank." Salman said very simply. When he came to this shooting range, which was obviously equipped with land equipment, he naturally wanted to see the most powerful land equipment.

"At present, the Future Technology Group has two mass-produced tanks. One is the Rhino main battle tank. I believe the king is no stranger to it. This tank is the main equipment for land warfare against Isis. The other tank is the Grizzly main battle tank. The tank is a medium-sized tank specially developed for rapid response. It can accompany paratroopers to parachute in hot spots and achieve long-range and rapid airdrop deployment capabilities.

And this Grizzly main battle tank. At present, it is only a small batch of equipment in the Israeli airborne brigade, and it has not been officially sold to the outside world. However, ordinary countries cannot afford or use such equipment. After all, if it is used for pure ground attack,

Such a tank is not suitable for most countries. Its real role is to need strong air transport capacity to support it. "

During the process of Cai Ruichen's explanation, the staff of the range had already driven a Grizzly and a Rhino tank to the front of the observation room of the range.

During the explanation, Cai Ruichen also observed that Salman's main eyes were all on the rhino tank.

Obviously, the bigger and more powerful rhino tank is more in line with the king's taste.

Cai Ruichen was not surprised by this at all. Saudi Arabia's current air force is not one in ten. There may not be many transport planes left.

In the Saudi army, there is only one brigade-level airborne force, but now I am afraid that this brigade can only be used as a ground force.

It doesn't make much sense to buy a Grizzly tank. Unless Saudi Arabia has to spend a sum of money to buy a transport plane that can fit into a Grizzly tank, it's all nonsense.

However, Cai Ruichen could also see the way Salman looked at the rhino tank. Also obviously not very eager.

To be honest, although an ordinary Rhino tank is considered a very good main battle tank, it is not as good as the top three and a half generations of main battle tanks in the world. It really doesn't have much of an advantage.

The thickness of the armor makes it difficult to resist those anti-tank missiles. Even if it has explosive reactive armor, it can at most give the crew members a little more time to escape.

Its defense and technical level are similar to the American m1a1 tanks, but have not yet reached the level of m1a2.

For Saudi Arabia, which has always used American and German tanks. If this tank can be equipped in large quantities in a short period of time, it is barely acceptable.

But obviously, from a technical point of view, the King of Saudi Arabia, who has been pursuing advanced weapons and equipment, has a little disdain for the ordinary-level Rhino main battle tank.

"If you want to buy this Rhino main battle tank, how many can you provide in a short period of time?" Salman asked after thinking for a while.

Sure enough, everything is as Cai Ruichen thought, but now he has a draft, and said: "Rhino tanks, at present we have to prioritize orders from Iraq, and we can only supply them to the Iraqi government forces first. There are third-party tanks. If you want to buy it, you need to wait at least one year later.”

Hearing Cai Ruichen's words, Salman was even more disappointed, but what made him a little hard to understand was that the Iraqi government army had already equipped a lot of Rhino tanks, and the scale of the armored force was expanding every day, and it still needed Buy this tank.

"Does the Iraqi government have the money to buy more tanks?" Salman asked skeptically.

"Currently, the Iraqi government army has equipped 1,600 Rhino main battle tanks, and in the next year, we will provide the Iraqi government with 800 Rhino main battle tanks, and we will also provide them according to the contract. The Iraqi government has already paid for this with a loan.”

"How do you sell this tank?" Salman could only shake his head when he heard this, but he was still a little unwilling and continued to ask.

"The unit price of the Rhino tank is 2.8 million U.S. dollars, and all the additional equipment is calculated separately." Cai Ruichen said directly.

When he heard such a cheap price, Salman was somewhat surprised. The price of a single tank of German tanks and American tanks purchased by Saudi Arabia has never been less than five million US dollars.

Originally, in his opinion, this rhino tank should not be very cheap, and he was already prepared to be slaughtered by Cai Ruichen, but he did not expect that Cai Ruichen had no intention of slaughtering the customer at all.

"I'll increase the price by 30%, can you provide me with 400 Rhino main battle tanks in a short time?" Salman said decisively.

"I am a businessman, not to mention that Future Technology Group is a company registered with the Iraqi government, and I also need to be responsible for Iraq."

Cai Ruichen shook his head. If he could provide equipment to Salman right away, there would be no need to waste so much talk, but he didn't block the road, but immediately said: "There is no way for the rhino tank, but we happen to have a This is a more powerful main battle tank, I believe you will be very satisfied, the king.” (To be continued.)
