Take Off My Aviation Era

Chapter 1713: Spillover

However, no matter how bitter the director of "Defense New Observation" is, Zhang Ju, as a guest, is completely happy. , The originally half-hour program was stunned by this rambling for more than an hour.

During the period, God’s comments during the Iraq War, such as when commenting on China’s TNB-2 series of UAVs, Zhang Ju said unabashedly: “There is no need to ask, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are connected to this UAV. The production line has been bought, isn’t this the best proof? Only those who have used it will know, like Japan and South Korea, the prototype is sold before the prototype stage, and accidents are easy to happen. Very troublesome..."

There are still many similar words in the program, which almost broke the director of "Defense New Observation". How should we cut so much material?

There is less than an hour before the program is officially broadcast, forget it, let's keep fighting!

No matter how busy the editor and director of "Defense New Observation" is, one thing is for sure, that is, compared with his peers in other media at the Abu Dhabi Defense Exhibition, his small scenes are simply not on the stage .

Because in the past 4 hours, they finally understood what it means to be a local tyrant.

First, the Minister of Defense of Saudi Arabia attended the signing ceremony of the agreement with the British BEA company on the purchase of "Typhoon" fighter jets.

This contract has been rumored in the industry for a long time, but its final implementation still shocked the industry, because the purchase quantity of the contract is not the previously estimated 50, but a full 70, and the price is as high as 10.5 billion US dollars. Calculated, the unit price of the "Typhoon" fighter jet is as high as 150 million US dollars.

And this is only the purchase cost of the "Typhoon" fighter jets, and the subsequent training costs, maintenance costs, spare parts procurement costs, etc., are more than 10 billion US dollars in contracts.

In other words, the British company BEA Systems used their gorgeous public relations methods to impress the purchase desire of those in power in Saudi Arabia.

But when many media were amazed at the public relations ability of the British BEA Systems Company and the pride of the Saudi government, just one hour later, Prince Salman, chairman of the Saudi Riyadh Provincial Industrial Council, chairman of the Riyadh Foundation, and China Ascendas Chairman and CEO Zhuang Jianye , jointly attended the TNB-2E UAV production transfer ceremony, and signed the confirmed contract.

What was even more unexpected was that when the two parties exchanged the contract text, Prince Salman directly handed over a $5 billion Swiss bank draft to Zhuang Jianye as an advance payment for the agreement.

You must know that this is a large contract worth 20 billion U.S. dollars, which means that in just over an hour, Saudi Arabia signed a large purchase order of more than 40 billion U.S. dollars.

This kind of arrogance is simply the best in the bay.

However, what is little known is that behind this is Prince Salman's complete break with Hamilton, and even almost tore his face directly with his uncle, the current king of Saudi Arabia.

The reason is also very simple. Seeing that Prince Salman began to distrust the "Typhoon" fighter jets, Hamilton simply bypassed this young prince who was ignorant of the world and would only rejoice, and directly found the current king of Saudi Arabia.

The king's considerations are naturally much more far-reaching than Prince Salman's.

Is Saudi Arabia more interested in "Typhoon" fighter jets?

In terms of performance, Saudi Arabia is actually more inclined to the French "Rafale". Know how strong it is.

But even so, Saudi Arabia still did not choose the French "Rafale" but the slightly inferior "Typhoon" fighter jet. Why?

It’s not that the Saudi royal family’s private house money is handed over to the British financial group. Coupled with the real estate, estates and farms all over the UK, the relationship between the Saudi royal family and the UK has a deep relationship that outsiders can’t imagine.

In addition, Saudi Aramco relies on the help of the British North Sea Petroleum Company for many key production technologies and equipment, so it is impossible for Saudi Arabia to turn against the British.

From this point of view, Saudi Arabia's purchase of the British "Typhoon" fighter jets is more based on comprehensive factors rather than a purely military perspective.

Prince Salman naturally understands the truth of this, but the problem is that Hamilton passed him as the handler, and the old king also ignored him. Salman finally reached an agreement with Hamilton, which is tantamount to treating him as a possible Dispensable outsiders!

More importantly, the actions of the Kingdom have caused a series of chain reactions in Saudi Arabia, that is, many people think that the old king beat Prince Salman so that he should not be too arrogant. I am not dead yet, so I cannot tolerate you ambitions continued to swell.

Based on this, many opponents of Salman began to move around, preparing to take this opportunity to overthrow Prince Salman.

Can Prince Salman bear it?

We must know that the current king is one of the few weak kings in the history of Saudi Arabia. Without the help of their uncles and brothers, Salman, how could it be possible to secure the throne of the king?

It's all right now, the bridge will be demolished when you cross the river, and you will forget your righteousness if you get a profit. In this case, there is nothing to say, Prince Salman just ran away.

Didn't you buy the "Typhoon" fighter jet from the British BEA Systems Company, then I will buy the production line of the TNB-2 UAV produced by China Tengfei.

Not only to buy, I also pay the advance directly to see who is more arrogant than the other.

Originally, the old king was very disdainful of Prince Salman's waywardness. He felt that his position was stable now, and it was easy to move the Salman family. The largest factions were uprooted.

Originally, the old king was ready and waiting for the attack, but it turned out that Prince Salman did not insist on going his own way. UU Reading www. uukanshu. com is the younger brother of the old king, and the news that the current crown prince is seriously ill and unable to do anything.

That's all, the key is that Prince Salman's father, not long after the news came out, he personally entered the palace to meet the old king. Prince Man's waywardness adopts an attitude of letting things go.

Not only that, but also allocated 2 million US dollars from the state treasury for the construction plan of Prince Salman's aviation manufacturing industry.

It is equivalent to giving a clear signal to the outside world that the king still favors the Salman family.

Some people close to the Saudi royal family are even rumored that the next crown prince must be the father of Prince Salman.

Because the current crown prince is now in a vegetable state, and seeing that his life is not long, it is almost certain that Prince Salman's father will ascend to the throne. If the old man is working hard, maybe even the old king will go west in a few years , then the Salman family has the final say in Saudi Arabia.

So this time the big purchase in Saudi Arabia is not so much a matter of the local tycoon in the Middle East having money and no land to spend, but rather a spillover of their effectiveness after a fierce palace fight...
