Chapter 1508

What Xie Kai said is very realistic.

Kuwait is too small, with a land area of ​​more than 10,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 2 million.

It is not that Xie Kai looks down on Kuwaiti people, but judging from the benefits enjoyed by Kuwaiti nationals, not many people are willing to serve as soldiers, let alone fight.

Up to now, it has been very difficult for Kuwait to maintain a conventional force of 20,000.

Samak looked at Xie Kai with embarrassment.

“Samako, as a friend, I must be responsible to you. In many cases, the army is not as large as possible. The army is expensive and not expensive. Although the Iraqi army is large in number, its combat effectiveness is not very good. Otherwise, The Iraqis will not establish the Tikrit Division. This division has a staff of more than 140,000, but its combat capability can be worth more than half of the National Defense Forces, so its weapons and equipment are more advanced than the National Defense Forces, and the benefits are better…”

Seeing Samako’s look embarrassed, Xie Kai paused, waiting for him to digest.

“Kuwait is equipped with too many troops, which will have a serious impact on the country’s economic development. Kuwait has many jobs that require people to be responsible. Although there are a large number of foreign workers, it is impossible for foreigners to give core jobs to foreigners? These equipment need to be cultured. If your army needs too many people, how can Kuwait’s domestic economic development need to solve them?”

Samako sighed.

He is not clear about the situation.

Now, Samak only wants to drive away the Iraqi army from Kuwaiti territory and avenge Prince Fahd.

“As for the economic impact, needless to say. The annual cost of such a huge army will seriously affect your originally good economic situation. For such an army, every exercise will consume a lot of weapons and ammunition. Need to spend money…Of course, for your country’s huge annual fiscal revenue, these are not too many, but once military spending accounts for a large proportion of fiscal revenue, then the consequences…”

Resolutely militant.

Is it possible for Kuwait to do such a thing?

Xie Kai did not say that if the Saudi royal family does not approve, all Samako’s plans will be affected.

Even the establishment of a small-scale army may be opposed by the royal family.

When a small country like Kuwait faces a powerful enemy, even if the whole people are armed, it is impossible to defeat the enemy, and life is too easy in normal times.

Samak was silent for a while, and said to Xie Kai gratefully: “Thank you, my friend. Thank you! If it weren’t for you, I might take the entire Kuwait on a path of no return.”

Xie Kai felt bitter in her heart.

The more Kuwaiti armed forces, the better, so that he can sell more equipment.

The key is impossible.

“No, I know that you are trying to take revenge and drive away the invaders from your territory and restore the country. In peacetime, army building must keep up, and when facing a strong enemy, you can respond calmly… as long as The combat effectiveness is strong enough that the enemy has to consider their losses before launching a war…”

The army must have deterrent power.

Samako didn’t say anything, but seriously looked at the plan Xie Kai gave him.

The 200 million U.S. dollar defense construction program!

According to the plan provided by Xie Kai, the entire Kuwaiti force will be composed of two mixed brigades. The two mixed brigades will have approximately 7,000 troops, and the rest will be the air force and the army aviation regiment.

He can also clearly see that the combat strength of the entire mixed brigade will far exceed that of ordinary troops.

“Thanks, why are there no air defenses and gunships for the equipment you provide?”

“Didn’t you buy 20 Feidun-359?”

“Only 20 vehicles are not enough. Most of our domestic Flying Shield-359 were destroyed by the damn Iraqi invaders, and the ones that were not destroyed were also seized…”

Under the indiscriminate bombing by the Iraqi army, the Kuwaiti army discarded its helmets and armor.

There was aerial bombardment, and all the heavy equipment failed to leave Kuwait.

Samak is now a polished commander.

He didn’t have an armored car, or a cannon.

How suffocated the defense minister is.

Fortunately, the king approved $5 billion in funding for him to purchase equipment and reorganize the Kuwaiti army.

“Feidun-359 consumes ammunition too fast, and the effect of this jet fighter used to attack is not ideal. It needs medium and long-range air defense missiles…”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Xie Kai did not deceive Samako.

He knew that the Kuwaiti were very satisfied with the effect of Feidun-359. It’s just that the Kuwaiti were blind cats and dead mice, and they took down the Iraqi jet fighters.

If you really encounter a more cautious air force, these flying shield-359 can only be targets.

Failure to achieve the desired effect of the Kuwaiti will eventually have a serious impact on the reputation of the 404 equipment.

Samako shook his head and said, “No, we need this! Although the ammunition is consumed faster, we can still afford it. It is much more useful than anti-aircraft guns and the effect is very good.”



“First purchase 40 Feidun-359!”

Xie Kai naturally cannot refuse the customer’s request for purchase.

If the door-to-door business is rejected, it is not a qualified arms dealer.

He nodded and agreed to sell 40 Feidun-359 to Kuwait, and suggested that the Feidun-359 should be equipped with armored forces and coordinated operations as in Iraq.

Xie Kai could only reluctantly refuse the armed helicopter proposed by Samakko.

“Samako, we really can’t do anything about this. Our unit does not produce armed helicopters, and even transport helicopters. Our domestic performance is not very good. We are currently developing…In view of your relationship with Western countries, I suggest that you can start from The United States or other Western countries can purchase them so that they can quickly gain combat effectiveness… For example, purchase American Apache gunships to support ground armored aircraft cluster operations.”

It’s not that Xie Kai doesn’t want to sell gunships.

The helicopter project researched by the base has not yet completed the trial production of prototypes.

This business can only be lost.

Samak nodded, agreeing to Xie Kai’s suggestion.

“I will report to His Majesty the King immediately. As long as His Majesty approves, I will sign the contract immediately.”

Kuwaitis hasn’t talked about prices at all.

Xie Kai breathed a sigh of relief, and finally got almost $5 billion worth of equipment for the Kuwaiti.

Of course, the premise is that Kuwaitis are willing to purchase two 053H3 frigates.

“You don’t have enough US$5 billion after all these calculations!”

Wang Guilin looked at the list made by Xie Kai and quickly calculated the total amount.

Even if Xie Kai equips Kuwait with two mixed brigades, all the equipment will not reach the total amount of US$5 billion.

“It is true that there is no US$5 billion, and not counting the 50% of the emergency payment, it is only about US$3 billion. If Samako agrees to purchase two 053-H3 guided missile frigates, it will not be much worse. We don’t have any. The method allows them to sell them the equipment worth 5 billion US dollars, and they cannot sell them at the strategic level.”

Zheng Yucheng immediately shook his head, “This is not enough, all the 5 billion dollars must be kept. We need this money.”

Zheng Yucheng doesn’t want Kuwait’s 5 billion U.S. dollars to have excess funds to purchase equipment from other countries.

Finally, there was a chance, there would be no such shop after passing this village.

How could Zheng Yucheng allow such a thing to happen?

Xie Kai looked at Zheng Yucheng, and he also didn’t want Kuwait to purchase equipment from other countries.

“Our weapons and equipment can’t be sold at too high a price. We can sell equipment that can be sold at a high price. We dare to sell them, but we dare not buy it. What’s more, we dare not sell it?”

The things Xie Kai refers to are strategic.

Whether it is a strategic missile or a strategic nuclear submarine, no matter how much Kuwait wants it, it cannot be sold to them.

If a country with a small population and a small land area is equipped with these things, it will not produce deterrence, but will bring disaster.

Just like when Silly Damu was engaged in nuclear research, he was bombed by the Israelis before he succeeded.

Zheng Yucheng said domineeringly: “I don’t care about this. Kuwait’s 5 billion US dollars must be kept. Since the weapons and equipment are not enough, use other funds. Only by keeping the money, the base will have a better life in the future. Anyway, it is you. Dad takes over the 404 base, you weigh it yourself.”

The old guy threatened him with his father.

Isn’t it impossible for me to do it?

I don’t know what else to sell for $5 billion.

Xie Kai thought in his heart that if only there were simple stealth fighters like the J-31, a batch of fighters could sell for 5 billion U.S. dollars.

Of course, Kuwait does not necessarily have to be really expensive.

But up to now, even if the Kuwaitis builds two mixed brigades, the price of all weapons and equipment will not reach US billion.

As a non-strategic force, a brigade equipped with nearly 1.5 billion U.S. dollars of conventional weapons and equipment is already against the sky in the entire world.

If it is a strategic force used to deliver mushroom eggs, even $10 billion is not necessarily enough.

Is it sold to Kuwaiti patrol boats?

That thing is worthless.


Xie Kai also does not want Kuwaitis to invest money in other countries.

Opportunity lay before him, but he really couldn’t find more things to sell.

Kuwait is too small.

No matter how big it is and the armed forces are a little bit more, it will do.

Zheng Yucheng looked at Xie Kai and reminded him: “Now the Kuwaiti government is willing to add 50% of the emergency procurement funds. If this opportunity is lost, it will be difficult to have such an easy opportunity to make money in the future.”

indeed.

The profits are too much.

Who wants to give up so much profit out of thin air?

“Everyone knows this. However, it is their request to deliver as soon as possible. All weapons and equipment are delivered within six months of signing the contract. It is not easy at all to increase the huge productivity in a short period of time… But the key is to count too much. Two brigades of 50% came out, and it was easy to get together.”

Everyone wants to take all of Kuwait’s 5 billion U.S. dollars.

It is a rare opportunity to encounter Kuwait.

After the Americans help Kuwait regain the country, it is unlikely that Kuwait will continue to purchase weapons and equipment from 404 on a large scale.

Xie Kai knows the future trend of historical development, and naturally also knows this.
