The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

at dusk.

Liu Tao held a banquet at the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong to entertain friends from the Middle East.

Basically, friends from all the Middle Eastern countries have come here, even friends from Iraq have come.

Since 2001, Panshan Group's military trade orders have shown a substantial growth.

For example, China has built an anti-terrorism special forces team. The special firearms, bulletproof vests, camouflage uniforms, bulletproof helmets, etc. are all specially made by Panshan Group. It has also strengthened the national strategic defense system and the military district defense system. Whether it is anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, rocket interception systems, missile defense systems or laser defense systems, they are also provided by Panshan Group.

The country is building its forces from mechanized to synthetic ones, and the main weapons and equipment are also produced by Panshan Group.

The J-11 fighter jets, Raytheon helicopters, Wudiao helicopters, Haidongqing unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, Y-10 military transport aircraft, Y-13 military transport aircraft, PL series missiles, etc. purchased by the Air Force are also produced by Panshan Group.

In the navy, missile boats, torpedo boats, minesweepers, electronic reconnaissance ships, conventional submarines, nuclear submarines, frigates, destroyers, large supply ships, large amphibious landing ships, aircraft carriers, etc. are also produced and manufactured by Panshan Group.

The outbreak of the Afghan war has not only shown the United States' anti-terrorism war, but also a change in the United States' style of doing things, with the use of military means to promote hegemony. This has made various countries deeply uneasy. As the world's largest arms dealer, Panshan Group has naturally received a large number of orders.

These orders come from Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and some European countries.

Every day, weapons, equipment and ammunition produced by Panshan Group are delivered to customers.

From pistols and bullets to large warships and advanced aircraft!
As long as you want to buy, there is always a way to buy Panshan Group’s arms.

In addition, a large amount of materials are exported, some to the coalition forces, some to the Middle East.

Of course, there is also humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan.

If there is one country that feels the greatest chill from the outbreak of the Iraq War, it must be the Middle Eastern countries!

Americans' ambition to control energy is clearly revealed.

No one wants energy to be controlled by Americans because it means their life and death are in the hands of Americans.

Although there are various problems in the Middle Eastern countries, they have been improving and progressing in the past two decades. As the intersection of cultural exchanges between the East and the West, the Middle East is not only influenced by Western culture, but also by Eastern culture. Coupled with its own Islamic culture, the Middle East has not stopped moving forward in the past two decades, but has been improving in all aspects.

Peace and development are the pursuit of every country.

Similarly, faced with various internal forces, they are also learning to "seek common ground while reserving differences"; faced with some differences and contradictions between countries, Middle Eastern countries have also begun to emphasize "setting aside disputes and pursuing common development."

If the problem cannot be solved, the meeting will be held in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. If the problem still cannot be solved, the meeting will be held in Beijing to resolve it.

When it comes to real-name verification, sometimes if you change your mindset and have a third party act as a middleman to coordinate, many problems can be easily solved.

For example, conflicts between the Middle Eastern countries and Persia are often resolved by holding meetings in the capital, which is why Persia has never been at war with any of the Middle Eastern countries until now.

In addition to purchasing arms, the purpose of their visit was also to trade in oil and natural gas.

Currently, the joint forces navy gathers in the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf. Many transport ships have difficulty entering and leaving the Persian Gulf. In addition, OPEC has also imposed an oil embargo on Europe and the United States. This means that only the Panshan Group's fleet can still enter and leave the Persian Gulf, the Arabian Sea, and the Red Sea. Many European countries import oil through the Panshan Group.

Although Panshan Group will charge some fees, the fees are not high and are acceptable to all countries.

All countries in the Middle East are oil-producing countries, it is impossible for them not to export oil.

You have to show your attitude and do business accordingly, there is no contradiction.

The one who coordinates the balance between attitude and business is Panshan Group.

"Ladies and gentlemen, peace and development are what we all pursue. Opposing hegemony is our consensus. Respecting the sovereignty of all countries and working together for mutual benefit are what we have always done! Please rest assured that your orders will be delivered to you on time. Similarly, we will not increase the price at the last minute!" Liu Tao comforted his friends.

Panshan Group has maintained its reputation since the beginning of foreign trade, and its credibility has always been its golden signboard.

So far, Panshan Group has not made any temporary price increases in its business.

He knew some of the concerns in these friends' hearts, and this time he wanted to express his attitude again.

When the others heard Liu Tao say this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They provided some weapons support to Iraq, including air defense weapons and aircraft, but there was a time lag between procurement and delivery.

Moreover, they sent more than 4,000 pilots and more than 6,000 air defense soldiers to China for training, so that they knew the importance of air defense weapons and aircraft.

The American war mode of using missile attacks and advanced aircraft attacks has made Middle Eastern countries shudder.

They all realized the importance of learning the new mode of warfare.

In this regard, the country that can provide the best learning environment is none other than China.

Although the tuition fees are a bit expensive, the Middle Eastern countries are happy to pay them.

Even if we can buy medium-range ballistic missiles from here, it would be worth spending any amount of money.

Look at this time, Saudi Arabia decisively took out Dongfeng Express to bask in the sun and stroll around, making Europe and the United States dare not say anything more.

Because Dongfeng Express can deliver to Europe!
"The Middle East is the world's energy center. We must ensure the safety of the energy lifeline. This is beyond doubt!" Liu Tao said to everyone: "We at Panshan Group will do our utmost to ensure the safety of the energy lifeline and contribute to world peace!"

The Middle East is the undisputed world energy center. Even though Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Australia also produce oil, they are far less than the Middle East.

For example, Australia is a world-renowned mining country, but its oil resources are not as rich as its mining industry. Currently, Australia has only 42 billion barrels of proven oil resources, equivalent to 5.73 million tons, accounting for only 0.5% of the world's remaining recoverable oil reserves. Australia produces about 2300 million to 3200 million tons of oil each year, while importing about 1300 to 1600 million tons of oil.

In other words, the oil produced in Australia is not enough for its own use and it has to be imported, and almost all of this import comes from the Middle East.

As for the oil in Southeast Asia, even if some countries have surplus oil, they will be exported to other Southeast Asian countries or China, not to Australia. (End of this chapter)
