Hearing a $150 million offer from a missile battalion, the principal almost couldn't hold back and exploded directly; this kid is too dark! Although the Middle Eastern people claim to be stupid and have a lot of money, they are not so wasteful! You must know that Saudi Arabia will spend 2.4 billion US dollars to purchase and control missiles alone, and Iraq needs to pay 1.8 billion US dollars to the Soviet Union. What is this concept, if the missiles are allocated to the Soviet military; maybe even a third will not be used.
But what the principal didn't expect was that Prince Sultan thought about it and said: "The price is not a problem, we can pay for the goods at any time; but I hope to get the goods as soon as possible."
Middle Easterners would really agree, which is really puzzling.
Little Ustinov still understands this. After all, I am worried that the Americans will interfere with it. After all, Saudi Arabia still relies on the United States in many places.
Little Ustinov: "If the deal is made today, the first batch of equipment from each of the four missile battalions will arrive in Saudi Arabia and Iraq within two weeks; at the same time, relevant technical personnel will also go there together."
"I know the pressure that Saudi Arabia and Iraq are facing, so I will give the air defense missiles originally allocated to the Far East Military Region to Saudi Arabia and Iraq for priority use."
After Prince Sultan and Second Young Master exchanged glances, they immediately said, "Just as General Ustinov said, we can sign the contract now."
Hearing that the Saudis didn't even pay back the price, they signed the contract directly. Let the principal really not know what to say, but some people buy weapons and equipment developed by themselves, and they are also contributing to the country.
The Soviet Union has made a lot of concessions. After all, it would rather not equip itself and give priority to supplying Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Combined with the anger that the US company has received in the past two days, the judgment is made.
The Iraqi second son went on to say: "General Ustinov, our two countries also want to buy a batch of bomber fighters. I heard that your country's Tu-22M backfire bomber has excellent performance. Saudi Arabia plans to buy 12 and Iraq buys 8. At the same time, the two countries also want to buy your country's Il-76 transport aircraft; 8 from Saudi Arabia and 6 from Iraq.
As a large bomber, this number is quite large, especially for countries whose land area is not particularly large. Transport aircraft Both countries have ground effect aircraft, and the number is also quite large.
Little Ustinov said with a smile: "No problem, we will give priority to supplying the air forces of the two countries. The Soviets have always been good friends, and would rather suffer losses than put their friends in danger."
"The Soviet Union will transfer part of the bomber and transport aircraft from the active military to the two countries. These are mainly to train pilots, and then when the new aircraft are produced, they will immediately deliver the new aircraft to Saudi Arabia and Iraq."
It's like practicing with a friend's car, and buying a new car after you can drive it. This kind of friend Jedi is interesting, at least much stronger than its Americans.
Prince Sultan said with a smile: "It's comfortable to do business with Ustinov, and we can definitely increase our cooperation. It seems that we will go to Moscow to see what products can be shipped back to the Middle East."
The Saudi prince is at the first level, and he is still a powerful figure in the country, but few people visit Moscow. Speaking of this now, both diplomacy and political influence in the international community will be enormous.
Little Ustinov said with a smile: "I look forward to the arrival of the prince and the second son."
Although Saudi Arabia has spent a lot recently, and the country is engaged in infrastructure construction. But defense spending has been increasing year by year. Fortunately, this is a fund that has been reserved for a long time, and the royal family can reduce the quality of life; but defense spending must not be less. After all, this is about the life of the family, and no one can ignore it.
Just when the major airlines were doing their best to perform, it suddenly came out that Saudi Arabia and Iraq together purchased more than 7 billion US dollars of weapons and equipment from the Soviet Union. These include anti-aircraft missiles, bombers, and transport aircraft. What kind of concept is this, which directly brings back the blood of the Soviet military industry. It can even be said that the suppression of the Soviet military industry before became a joke.
And this is only the first day of the deal. Could it be that the Soviets are going to make a big deal this time? Iraq is okay to say, but Saudi Arabia can buy at most some French fighter jets, a staunch supporter of the US military industry. Now that you buy weapons and equipment directly from the Soviet Union, are you ready to lean toward the Soviet Union?

At this time, the expressions of the major aircraft manufacturers in the United States were very exciting. Such a big customer in Saudi Arabia will actually be lost. This shouldn't be, but the one with the most atmosphere is the little MacDonald.
As for General Dynamics and Raytheon, we don't know what's going on at this point. But the involvement of Iraq made them aware of something. As a military giant, of course, I know the delicate relationship between Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Especially now that the second son of Iraq is fighting with the Saudi royal family even more.
The Saudi side must also know the attitude of the two companies towards Iraq. With the exception of little Macdonald, the other two were not aware that Prince Sultan was involved in the negotiations. But with so many Middle Easterners yesterday, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no members of the Saudi royal family.
At this time, Lieutenant General Braun just came to McDonnell Douglas. However, little MacDonald did not give him a face; after all, he was still young, and there were some things he couldn't hide.
MacDonald Jr.: "General Braun, is this the result you want. The Arabs are rich, and the competition in the market is very fierce at present, and there are many options. There is no difference between our military products from the US and the Soviet Union. Think so big. When we voluntarily give up customers, others will naturally choose the Soviet Union.
"Originally, McDonnell Douglas could earn more than $300 million in profits, but it was because of the military's interference. Now the Soviets are being cheapened in vain, and the other is changing; the U.S. military industry will decline sooner or later."
"This kind of decline is not due to incapacity, but because of the military's interference. I hope you will report the situation here after you return to the United States. The executives in Washington can't always think about problems with their butts."
It can be said that little MacDonald was not polite at all, and directly scolded Lieutenant General Braun with a **** spray. But the American general at this time was very self-restrained and didn't say anything. However, I will definitely hold grudges in my heart, and it is estimated that there will be opportunities in the future; I will definitely find trouble with McDonnell Douglas. Later, it was proved that people would indeed take revenge.
As for Raytheon, yesterday Zebrun deliberately humiliated the Iraqi second son and was going to report it to the vice president of the board of directors. It has not been reported yet, and the board of directors has already called to inquire. Losing such a big customer in Saudi Arabia on the first day, we must find out what happened.
At this time, Zebrun really didn't know what to say. Could it be that Iraq took the initiative to buy anti-aircraft missiles? Not only did they get a very high price, they were even willing to exchange the oil field. Don't agree to this, isn't that a brain disease!
Hearing that the Second World Lord couldn't answer a single reason, the board of directors was very excited. Anyone who knows a little about Zebulun knows that he must be the one responsible for the sabotage. For two consecutive days, the second Iraqi son came to buy missiles, and the staff of Raytheon Company; but they all have records, and now it is impossible to deny it.
Could it be that they did not sell anti-aircraft missiles to the Arabs because they were worried about the loss of the Israeli Air Force. It seems that there is no such truth in the world. Raytheon needs to make profits, not to protect anyone for the sake of losing profits.
After learning about the situation, the Raytheon board of directors immediately made a decision; Zebron was dismissed on the spot, and the UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com headquarters will send a new person to Paris to preside over the work.
At this time, Steiner-Crouch was also confused. Saudi Arabia and Iraq reached a deal with the Soviets so quickly; what the **** is going on.
Iraq does not matter, Saudi Arabia is a major customer of General Dynamics. Now it goes directly to the Soviet Union to buy planes. Is there any misunderstanding here?
He came here with a mission, whether he can take over as CEO in the future; this Paris Air Show is very important, and there is no room for sloppyness. If this is done on the first day, then the board of directors will inevitably question his ability, and it is estimated that he will never become the CEO of General Dynamics in this life.
On the first day of the air show, the exhibitors who received the most attention were definitely not from the Soviet Union. No one would have thought that Saudi Arabia and Iraq would be so powerful, and it was a big list of billions of dollars.
But it's too late to say anything now, and we can only wait until the evening to find out about the situation; this kind of thing must not happen. At this time, the United States is ready to put pressure on Saudi Arabia and must not buy Soviet weapons and equipment.
But this is bound to fail, because the Saudis have already prepared relevant evidence. When the time comes, American politicians will inevitably have bitterness that they cannot express, and can only swallow their teeth!
