Chapter 1336 The extremely embarrassing person 1

In order to relieve the pressure on the king and the ambassador to the United States, Prince Sultan had already copied the recorded document several times. A copy was flown to the United States and handed over to the Saudi ambassador to the United States, his son Bandar. One copy was delivered directly to the king. If the Saudi ambassador to the United States wanted to say something, he had to have evidence.

After the emergency consultations by the Americans, they absolutely adopted a three-pronged approach, and they did so at the same time. Lieutenant General Braun, head of the US delegation at the Paris Air Show, met with Prince Sultan, the US President met with the Saudi ambassador to the US, Prince Bandar; the US ambassador to Saudi Arabia asked to meet with the King of Saudi Arabia.

Fortunately, the Saudi royal family has been prepared for a long time, and they can see the face of the Americans very clearly; and with such sufficient evidence, it is impossible to believe that they can be shameless to such an extent. And there is another confidence, that is, the country that sold them weapons and equipment-the Soviet Union.

If you want to say that the country in the world that is least afraid of the United States, Lao Maozi is on the list; even to a certain extent, the United States has to give way to Mao Xiong. Even if Gorbachev is relatively soft, he will not back down when it comes to domestic military sales. You must know that the Soviet Union is very short of money now, and the military factory has finally opened up the situation, so it must be supported.

At present, the Soviet Union feels like the sun is setting, but after all, it is still shining on the earth, and the Americans absolutely dare not go too far. The old man is closer to France; if we really do something, Paris will be captured again before the US army arrives in Europe.

Lieutenant General Braun came directly to Prince Sultan's manor. Seeing the facilities here, he was very disturbed. The local tyrants in Saudi Arabia have a good fate; otherwise, with their talents, how could they live in such a good place;

Although it was a question, Lieutenant General Braun knew something about the situation; he was very clear about Prince Sultan's request to purchase the C-17 transport plane, and he directly rejected the proposal.

The visitor is a guest, and the Saudi side did not embarrass the American general. Now is not the time to completely turn around, after all, strength does not allow it.

Prince Sultan said with a smile: "General Braun, long time no see; I am very glad that you can visit an old friend."

The two had known each other for a long time, and Braun also worked in Saudi Arabia for a while. But now it is better to get straight to the point instead of looking for old friends; otherwise, Saudi Arabia may make another move that is not conducive to the United States tomorrow.

Braun: "Your Highness, I am here this time mainly to ask you a question."

It is really rare for Americans to use the word "ask for advice"; it must be a weasel greeting a chicken; there is no kindness at all. And he said he was asking for advice, but he didn't feel it at all in his tone. The domineering posture of the American general makes people hate it. But let him be rampant for a while; this time even a kid from the American Raytheon Company can bear it, let alone an American general.

Prince Sultan said with a smile: "General Braun is too polite, we are all acquaintances; if you have any questions, please speak up, we Arabs don't have such complicated ideas."

The meaning is obvious, I hope you keep your words simple and don't engage in so many convoluted things.

If you can't hear this, then there is no need for Lieutenant General Braun to hang out in the military, or he will be dug and buried by others sooner or later.

Lieutenant General Braun said with a smile: "There is no other meaning, I just want to ask; is there anything the United States has done that makes you not very satisfied."

This is coming here to ask the teacher for a crime, and the Americans really don't regard themselves as outsiders. Saudi Arabia earns all its money by exporting oil, so it is up to outsiders to tell us how to spend it. But I really can't say that at the moment, otherwise it will easily intensify the conflict.

Prince Sultan: "Very good! I don't know why General Braun asked this question!"

This is a typical act of pretending to be ignorant while pretending to be clear. Does it really make people speak clearly! But since we come here, we must get a satisfactory structure. When did the Americans suffer this kind of anger?

Lieutenant General Braun: "If the performance is good, why does His Royal Highness not choose American military products, but buy Soviet products?"

You have the nerve to come over and ask me, you really take yourself too seriously! Doesn't the United States sell us Saudi weapons and equipment, and don't allow us to buy them elsewhere? It seems that there is no such reason in the world!

Prince Sultan said very seriously: "In modern society, Saudi soldiers can no longer ride horses and brandish spears to fight against the enemy! Doing that is not bravery at all, but ignorance."

"Don't Americans sell weapons and equipment to Arabs, and don't allow us to go to other countries to buy them. Although I admit that Saudi Arabia is not yet capable of manufacturing cutting-edge weapons and equipment, it can't let Saudi soldiers have no aircraft and no missiles. Even if the country is in difficulty , and can’t save on national defense. Because once the national defense expenditure is saved, many unscrupulous people will come to make trouble for Saudi Arabia.”

It turned out that this was the case. It seems that the Saudi prince was a little angry because he did not sell the C-17 transport plane to the other party.

Braun: "Your Highness, don't be angry. You didn't say that you would not sell weapons and equipment to your country. The relationship between our two countries has always been very good. Even the most advanced F-15 fighter jets were sold to your country. It's just that you and Iraq The representatives went to negotiate with McDonnell Douglas, worrying that the Soviet Union would obtain American military technology.”

"After all, there are many Soviet military experts in Saudi Arabia, and many things have to be guarded against. I have reported to the Ministry of Defense and will reply as quickly as possible to the relevant resolutions on Saudi Arabia's purchase of C-17 transport aircraft; I will definitely give His Royal Highness a satisfactory result."

This is the gap. Before buying military products in the United States, Saudi Arabia was very helpless. Not only have to pay the full amount, but also have to wait for a long time. Saudi Arabia doesn't care about spending more money, but the waiting time is too long, and that is very urgent.

It is estimated that by the time the Soviet weapons are shipped to Saudi Arabia, the United States may not have discussed why. With so much to choose from now, there's no need to hang yourself on a tree in America. Several Middle East wars have made Saudi Arabia see clearly what the Americans are like. It's just that due to many reasons, I dare not really turn against him.

The appearance of Baozixuan gave Saudi a glimmer of hope. At least have the hope that the military industry will no longer rely on the United States, and jointly develop the most advanced weapons and equipment with the Black Cloud Group. So even if a war breaks out in the Middle East, there is no need to worry about the arms embargo imposed by Western countries.

Prince Sultan: "Saudi Arabia can buy weapons and equipment from the United States. When will McDonnell Douglas deliver the C-17 transport aircraft to us. Then the missiles and bombers that Saudi Arabia needs; when Raytheon and General Dynamics can Arrival. As long as General Braun can give a specific time, then Saudi Arabia will definitely buy it from the United States."

"Most of the weapons and equipment currently in use in Saudi Arabia are purchased from the United States. No one will panic and buy Soviet products. It's just that there is no way, I want to buy from the United States; it's just that your country's military enterprises look down on Saudi Arabia The market feels dispensable. No matter how you say it, I am also a prince of the country and the supreme commander of the army. To be humiliated by a salesperson of a company is definitely unbearable."

"I have a video here~lightnovelpub.net~ General Braun can take a good look at it."

The video consisted of three clips. At the beginning, it was the video of Little Macdonald rejecting Prince Sultan and the second son; but overall it was fine, and it was just asking the US military for instructions, so there was no big problem.

But after seeing Raytheon's video, Braun felt the urge to hit someone, and felt ashamed. Although it was the second son of Iraq who went to negotiate, it was obvious that Prince Sultan was beside him. Iraq offered such a high price that it was even willing to exchange oil fields. But that **** from Raytheon, who didn't sell or talk about it, went so far as to humiliate others.

In other words, the two are also high-level members of the country and members of the royal family; they will become the heads of state of the entire country in the future. No wonder he would go directly to buy so many Soviet weapons and equipment, and it would be the same for himself.

When it came to General Dynamics, it also clearly refused. It can be said that within two days, I was rejected by three American companies one after another, and even humiliated by the staff of one company. These Arabs are good-tempered enough, if it were me, I guess the methods would be more extreme.

Braun: "Whether there is a misunderstanding here, I will definitely investigate clearly; give His Royal Highness a satisfactory answer."

There are pictures and the truth, but they even say that there is a misunderstanding. It seems that this kid is not like a soldier, but more like a mature politician.
