In order to relieve the pressure on the king and the ambassador to the United States, Prince Sultan has already copied the recorded files several times. One was flown to the United States and handed over to the Saudi ambassador to the United States, his son Bandar. One is directly handed over to the king, and if the Saudi ambassador to the United States wants to say something, there is good evidence.
After the emergency consultations in the United States, it is absolutely three-pronged, and it is still carried out at the same time. Lieutenant General Braun, head of the U.S. delegation to the Paris Air Show, met with Prince Sultan, the U.S. President met with Prince Bandar, Saudi Ambassador to the United States, and the U.S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia asked to meet the King of Saudi Arabia.
Fortunately, the Saudi royal family is well prepared and has a clear view of the faces of the Americans; and with so much evidence, I don't believe they can be so shameless. And there is also a confidence, that is, the country that sold them weapons and equipment - the Soviet Union.
Lieutenant General Braun came directly to Prince Sultan's manor and was very uneasy when he saw the facilities here. The local tyrants in Saudi Arabia are lucky; 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 for a c-17 transport aircraft, and it was a proposal he directly rejected.
To say that the country in the world is least afraid of the United States, Lao Maozi is on the list; even to a certain extent, the United States has to let Mao bear a little bit. Even if Gorbachev is relatively soft, he will not budge 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, and it must be supported.
At present, the Soviet Union has a feeling that the sun is setting, but after all, it is still shining on the earth, and the Americans absolutely dare not do too much. Lao Maozi is closer to France; if he really starts, maybe Paris will be captured again before the American army has reached Europe.
The two had known each other for a long time, and Braun had also worked in Saudi Arabia for a while. But now it's better to go straight to the topic instead of looking for old friends to catch up with the past; otherwise, Saudi Arabia may make something unfavorable to the United States tomorrow.
Braun: "His Royal Highness, I came here mainly to ask you a question."
The visitor is a guest, and the Saudi side did not embarrass the American general. Now is not the time to turn his face completely, after all, the strength is not allowed.
Prince Sultan said with a smile: "General Braun, long time no see; I'm glad you can visit an old friend."
The meaning is very obvious. I hope your words are simpler and don't go around so much.
If this can't be heard, then Lieutenant General Braun doesn't need to be in the military, otherwise he will be buried by others sooner or later.
When did the Americans use the word "asking for advice", it's really rare; it must be the weasel greeting the chicken for the New Year; 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 child from Raytheon in the United States can bear it, not to mention that the other party is an American general.
Prince Sultan said with a smile: "General Braun is too polite, everyone is acquainted; if you have any questions, please speak directly. We Arabs do not have such complicated ideas."
Prince Sultan: "Very good! I don't know why General Braun asked this question!"
This is a typical example of pretending to be confused. Does it really make people talk through it! However, since they come here, they must get a satisfactory structure. When have Americans suffered from this kind of gas?
Lieutenant General Braun said with a smile: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to ask; is there anything the United States has done that makes you unsatisfied."
This is to come here to ask for guilt, and Americans really don't treat themselves as outsiders. Saudi Arabia's money is earned by exporting oil. How to spend it can be dictated by outsiders. But I really can't say that at the moment, otherwise it's easy to intensify conflicts.
You have the nerve to come and ask me, you really take yourself too seriously! The United States does not sell us Saudi weapons and equipment, and does not allow us to go to other places to buy it, it seems that there is no such reason in the world!
Prince Sultan said very seriously: "In a modern society, Saudi soldiers can't be riding horses and wielding spears to fight the enemy! That's not bravery at all, it's ignorance."

Lieutenant General Braun: "If the performance is good, why does His Royal Highness not choose American military products, but buy Soviet goods."
Braun: "Don't be angry, His Royal Highness, he didn't say not to sell weapons and equipment to your country. The relationship between our two countries has always been very good, and 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, worried that the Soviet Union would obtain U.S. military technology because of this.
"After all, there are many Soviet military experts in Saudi Arabia, and many things have to be guarded against. I have already reported it to the Ministry of Defense, and I will reply to the relevant resolution on Saudi Arabia's purchase of the c-17 transport aircraft as soon as possible; I will definitely give His Royal Highness a satisfactory result."
"Don't the Americans sell weapons and equipment to the Arabs, and we are not allowed to buy from other countries. Although I admit that Saudi Arabia has no ability to manufacture cutting-edge weapons and equipment, it cannot let Saudi soldiers have no planes and no missiles to use. Even if the country is in difficulties , nor can we save on defense. Because once defense spending is saved, many unscrupulous people will come to trouble Saudi Arabia.
It turned out to be the case. It seems that the Saudi prince was a little angry because he did not sell the c-17 transport aircraft to the other party.
The appearance of Bao Zixuan gave Saudi Arabia a glimmer of hope. At least have the hope that the military industry will not 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, I am not worried about the arms embargo of 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; Raytheon and General Dynamics, when will they be able to Arrived. As long as General Braun can give a specific time, then Saudi Arabia must buy it from the United States.
This is the gap. Before purchasing military products in the United States, Saudi Arabia was very helpless. Not only do you have to pay the full amount, but you also have to wait a long time. Saudi Arabia doesn't care about spending more money, but the waiting time is too long, which is very urgent.
It is estimated that when the Soviet weapons are shipped to Saudi Arabia, the United States may not have discussed a reason. With so many options now available, there is no need to hang from a tree in America. Several Middle East wars have made Saudi Arabia see what the Americans are like. It's just that for many reasons, I didn't dare to really turn against him.
The video consists of three clips. At the beginning, it was a video of little MacDonald rejecting Prince Sultan and the second son; but the whole thing was fine, just asking the U.S. military for instructions was not a big problem.
But after seeing Raytheon's video, Braun had the urge to hit someone, and even felt a little ashamed. Although it was the second Iraqi son 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 the Raytheon Company went so far as to humiliate others without selling it.
"Most of the weapons and equipment currently in service 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 Military enterprises don't look down on the Saudi market, and they feel dispensable. After all, I am also a prince of the country and the highest commander of the army. To be humiliated by a salesperson of a company, this tone must be unbearable.
"I have a video here, General Braun can take a good look at it."
Braun: "Is there any misunderstanding here? I will investigate it clearly; I will give His Royal Highness a satisfactory answer."
There are pictures and the truth, but they even say there are misunderstandings. It seems that this kid is less like a soldier and more like a mature politician.
How to say two people are also high-ranking members of the country, members of the royal family; in the future, they will become the heads of state of the entire country. No wonder he went directly to buy so many Soviet weapons and equipment, and so did himself.
Wait until General Dynamics, but also expressly refused. It can be said that in two days, he was rejected by three companies in the United States one after another, and was even humiliated by the staff of one company. These Arabs are already good-natured, and if it is themselves, it is estimated that the means will be more extreme.
