Chapter 317 The Dog Owner is Coming

"This intelligence is extremely important. We need to complete the analysis as quickly as possible and then provide advice to Washington."

Smith quickly communicated his ideas with Smith, wanting to determine the next arrangements.

"I will go talk to the people at the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory tomorrow. According to the information we heard before, this missile launcher should be produced in their factory."

"Since the other party can take the initiative to officially announce this news, it means that the confidentiality level of this product is no longer that high."

"Maybe I can get some information during the communication."

Austin also knows the big picture and knows that business is the most important thing at this time.

"Of course, it's possible to talk to people from the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory, but I think it might be more effective to talk directly to the leaders of the Fifth and First Machine-Building Departments."

"The higher your rank, the more information you know and the higher the authorization you get."

"People below have all kinds of concerns, so they don't dare to say too much."

Knowing China's national conditions well, Smith proposed a more constructive plan.

Austin naturally had no objection to this.

……

When China releases such a big news, it is certain that people at the American Embassy will not be the only ones who are concerned.

Even in the Arab Empire, which has not yet established diplomatic relations with China, several core personnel were discussing related topics.

"Prince, the United States has no intention of further selling advanced weapons to us, especially missiles. They have clearly refused."

Ibrahimovic was the actual person in charge of arms procurement for the Arab Empire, and he was directly responsible to Prince Abdullah, who held a special status.

In recent years, due to the war between Baghdad and Persia, the Arabs felt very insecure.

Especially since last year, Persia began to turn the tide of the war, not only driving Baghdad's troops out of its own territory, but also directly entering Baghdad's borders.

Although both Persia and the Caliphate are considered Middle Eastern countries and in the eyes of many people they have the same religion.

In fact, it is not the case at all. The main beliefs of the two countries are actually two completely different factions, and the relationship between the two factions is completely incompatible.

Under such circumstances, Persia suddenly emerged as a powerful force, and the Arabs would naturally feel greatly threatened.

In addition, the people in neighboring Baghdad are not good people either. They may cause some harm to the Caliphate at any time, which makes the Caliphate's top leaders feel even more insecure.

For a long time, the relationship between the Arabs and the United States has been very close. It can even be said that it is with the protection of the United States that they can successfully maintain national stability.

Now that they are facing some threats, the Arabs certainly hope to seek help from America.

"Those Americans completely disregarded our interests for the sake of the Hebrew nation."

"We just want to find some measures to protect ourselves. It's just such a small request, can't the other party meet it?"

Abdullah's face looked very ugly.

For a long time, the Arabs have always taken a pro-American approach and treated the other side as their own ancestors.

But America’s only ally in the Middle East is the Caliphate. In fact, the Caliphate cannot even be considered an ally of America.

The Hebrew Nation is what America really cares about.

Many key figures in the United States oppose anything that threatens the interests of the Hebrew nation.

For example, this time the Arab Empire wanted to purchase missiles with a range of several thousand kilometers, which could directly strike targets within the Hebrew territory.

Although the Americans had sufficient means and methods to ensure that the weapons sold to the Arabs would ultimately not be fired at the Hebrew nation, they were still unwilling to sell them to the Arabs.

Because this practice would make the people of the Hebrew nation unhappy.

If the people of the Hebrew nation are unhappy, it means that the big capitalists in America are unhappy.

As a result, some people's buttocks may become unstable.

So it was normal that Ibudu was rejected when he went to the United States on behalf of the Arab Empire to discuss advanced military equipment.

"Prince, I have already made all kinds of promises to the other party, but the American side has no intention of relenting at all."

"In the next few years, I think it will be impossible for them to sell those advanced weapons to us."

Ibrahimovic gave his own judgment with certainty.

He was also very aware that the Arabs were in great need of advanced weapons.

They are not short of money, but they have too much money and feel insecure.

"So what should we do? Do you have any other suggestions?"

"Is France willing to sell us some advanced weapons?"

It is impossible for Abdullah to give up this idea just because the United States refuses to sell advanced weapons and equipment to him.

The security issue of the Arab Empire has reached a stage where it cannot be ignored.

Otherwise, no matter how much money you have, it will be meaningless.

"France is willing to discuss the purchase of advanced fighter jets with us, but the price is very high, and the missile technology they are equipped with is relatively backward and definitely does not have the ability to carry out long-range strikes."

Ibudu was fully responsible for the procurement of arms for the Arab Empire, and naturally he was not just dealing with Americans.

There are actually only a few countries in the world that have the ability to export advanced weapons, especially advanced missile technology.

America and the polar bear are naturally the best among them, but America has already rejected the Arabs, and the polar bear now has very bad relations with both the Arabs and America, so it is impossible for it to sell advanced products to the Arabs.

Besides, over in Argentina, opposition forces supported by a series of countries including the Arabs and the United States are fighting the polar bear in full swing.

How could we discuss arms exports with the Arabs under such circumstances?

After excluding the two giants, America and the polar bear, there are actually not many choices for the Arab world.

England is considered half, but their ideas are basically the same as America's.

That is to say, France, once a giant in Europe, is a little bit special.

France, which has always been unwilling to be America's younger brother, often has some international attitudes that are not exactly the same as America's.

France may dare to sell the weapons that America dare not sell.

Even some French military products are in competition with those of the United States.

"Advanced fighter jets are of course needed. We can continue the discussion with France."

"But for us, medium-range missiles that can be launched directly from the mainland are the most critical and deterrent things at this stage."

"It would be best if it could carry some special warheads, even special warheads that can deter the whole world." "Ibudu, do you understand what I mean?"

Abdullah stared at Ibudu, and it was obvious that there was something else he was saying.

For the Arabs, the purpose of purchasing these weapons was to maintain deterrence against neighboring countries, so that neither Baghdad nor Persia would set their sights on them.

As long as this goal can be achieved, the Arabs are willing to do it no matter how much it costs.

For example, this time when Ibrahimovic went to the United States to discuss the purchase of advanced missiles, he told the other party directly that you can name the price and they will not bargain!

However, even such a transaction that offered money was rejected by America.

It is conceivable that if you want to truly purchase advanced military equipment, it is no longer a simple matter of money.

There are some things that you can't buy no matter how much money you have.

"Prince, I have been thinking about this issue these past few days. There was a trading partner before that we had never considered."

"But there is a good chance that we will make a breakthrough and successfully obtain the advanced missiles or even special warheads we need."

Ibrahimovic knew that he must find a way to complete the tasks assigned by him.

At this time, all kinds of things that have not been done before can be considered.

Including the plan he was going to propose to Abdullah, no one in the Caliphate would have considered it before.

"Which country are you talking about? Could it be a private transaction between some people on the polar bear side?"

Although Polar Bear is still in a very strong stage at this stage, the working style of some of the subordinates has already taken on the style of a few years later.

The other party may do all kinds of unimaginable things.

"No, it's not Polar Bear. Polar Bear has strict control over this kind of advanced missile. It is impossible to sell it through private transactions."

Ibrahimovic gave his answer very affirmatively, which made Abdullah a little disappointed.

If not polar bears, then which country?

Fortunately, Ibrahimovic did not keep the question in suspense. He continued talking without waiting for Abdullah to ask further questions.

"Prince, China also has good missile technology, and they are also a nuclear power."

"A few days ago, China broke the news about an intercontinental ballistic missile launcher. It is said that the missile launcher they announced is the most technologically advanced in the world. Even the United States does not have a similar product."

"The presence of this missile launcher means that the opponent's intercontinental ballistic missile technology level is not bad. At least it has the ability to launch missiles on roads and roads, which only polar bears have, or even the ability to launch missiles in the wild at any time."

"If the technology of intercontinental ballistic missiles is so advanced, then the level of medium-range ballistic missiles must be no worse."

"As long as the other party is willing to sell, they can definitely provide products that meet our needs."

After Ibudu said this, Abdullah fell into silence.

At this time, the relationship between the Arabs and China was not as good as it was in later generations.

On the one hand, China is now also an oil exporter and is actually a competitor of the Arabs in the international oil market. This is something that many people in later generations probably cannot realize.

On the other hand, when China returned to the United Nations, among the countries in West Asia, only the Arab Empire voted against it, which caused great damage to the relationship between the two sides.

According to the normal development of history, the two sides would not formally establish diplomatic relations until 1990.

It’s only 1983 now.

The top leaders in the Arab world are still following the path of the previous king and are not friendly to China at all.

Under such circumstances, Abdullah felt that it was inappropriate for the Arabs to go to China to purchase advanced missiles that even the United States was unwilling to sell.

This is also the reason why he fell into silence after listening to Ibudu's words.

He was thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

"Prince, there are no eternal friends in this world, only eternal interests."

"Huaxia is no longer what it was a few years ago. It has now implemented reform and opening up and attaches great importance to the development of economic construction."

"And their relationship with the United States is also very good now. It is said that both sides are negotiating some advanced fighter jets and armed helicopter procurement projects."

"But China is very short of foreign exchange and would like to earn foreign exchange through exports through various means."

"But currently the products they can export to earn foreign exchange are very limited, while the various advanced equipment they need to purchase from the international market is very large."

"It can be said that their foreign exchange reserves are totally insufficient."

Ibrahimovic was not idle either, and continued to explain his views there.

The more he explained, the more he felt that his proposal was feasible.

If China was very wealthy, it would definitely not sell advanced missiles to the Arabs under such circumstances.

But Ibrahimovic also knows what the current situation in China is.

He felt that as long as the price offered by the Arabs was attractive enough, China would definitely be willing to do so.

Because they are so short of dollars!

"You mean to say that in order to make money from us, China will consider selling us advanced medium-range missiles, or even giving us some special warheads?"

Abdullah looked at Ibudu and reconfirmed his understanding.

"Yes, the foreign exchange reserves of the entire China last year were less than 100 billion US dollars. For a big country with only a few billion US dollars in foreign exchange reserves, you can imagine how eager they are for foreign exchange."

"If our transaction can directly double our foreign exchange reserves, do you think anyone in China can refuse?"

After Ibrahimovic said this, Abdullah's confidence became stronger.

It turns out that China’s foreign exchange reserves are only a few billion US dollars?

If this transaction can really increase the other party's foreign exchange reserves by several billion dollars, then it is really possible.

If a few billion dollars are not enough, then offer $100 billion, and keep raising the price until the other party can’t refuse.

"We don't even have an embassy in China, how can we contact them?"

Abdullah's question basically meant that he had agreed to Ibudu's plan.

This made the latter feel relieved. "This problem is easy to solve. We both have common embassies in some places. We can contact each other through these local relationships and then invite the Chinese to come and discuss specific cooperation plans."

"If the other party has concerns, it is also possible to discuss it in a third country."
