Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 831

“His Royal Highness, Bahrain and Qatar are both buying warships, and we should also strengthen naval construction…” Rafata reminded His Royal Highness.

Bahrain and Qatar are too much!

So small two countries, the total number of troops, less than 10,000 people, actually bought two such powerful warships!

Think they have money?

“How much did Bahrain buy?” Wang Ye asked Xie Kai with a serious expression on his face.

“This…” Xie Kai looked embarrassed, “His Royal Highness, you know, we need to keep our customers secret…”

“Thanks, five billion dollars in orders!” Lafata looked contemptuously. A person like Xie Kai who was more unscrupulous and shameless than the author Hulu, revealed the news by himself, and even said that he kept it secret for the customer.

“Two ships…” Xie Kai only struggled a bit. For the 5 billion dollar order, shameless, don’t behave, whatever, anyway, when the delivery is completed next year, the whole world will know that confidentiality is impossible.

“Two? When will they be delivered? What is the living environment on the warship?” Wang Ye continued to ask.

“One year, I just started laying the keel…” Xie Kai is a little worried. If the big dog owners also ask them to deliver the goods within the same time, it would be nice!

After all, this kind of warship is designed to be modified while being produced.

The problems of the two ships are not serious, some problems have occurred, and the new equipment and systems will be reproduced, and the loss will not be large.

If several boats are produced at the same time, then there will be a problem, and the fun will be great…

“Then give me ten ships!” The prince’s words made Xie Kai almost vomit blood, worrying about what is coming. “It must be delivered with them… In addition, the performance cannot be worse than theirs…”

“His Royal Highness, your country has a long coastline, but they are all narrow and long seas. If you purchase too much, it will cause changes in the entire Middle East situation, especially Israel…” Xie Kai hurriedly discouraged. “Your country is a regional power in the Middle East and the leader of the Arab world… Building national defense is not a problem, but a sudden increase in military strength will worry other countries and affect regional peace and stability…”

Xie Kai didn’t want to care about the peace and stability of the Middle East.

He is even more worried about the production of 12 053H3 warships at the same time, which worries the world.

Flower growers have always been stingy to the extreme. The US and Soviet satellites are all staring at them. What do they want to do when they build so many warships at the same time?

More importantly, Saudi Arabia and other countries have never been able to buy advanced warships. It is Europe and the United States in order to allow Israel to maintain its advantage over the entire Arab world…

“We must maintain an overwhelming advantage over them…” Wang Ye said.

“His Royal Highness, the combat strength of the fleet does not depend on the number, but the combination of firepower… The regular fleet also needs to have submarines…” Xie Kai said, “I think as long as there are 4 frigates, two submarines, two ships. A large supply ship is enough.”

A 053H3, sold for 200 million US dollars, 800 million US dollars went.

A 035 submarine that has anti-submarine capability and can launch Yu-3A electric self-guided anti-submarine anti-ship torpedoes poses an effective threat to both frigates and submarines. How can it be sold for 300 to 400 million US dollars, plus two 905 supply ships , Will exceed 2 billion U.S. dollars.

In this way, doesn’t the other party’s conditions have been met?

It’s not that Xie Kai’s heart is not dark enough and doesn’t want to sell more, but if it sells too much, it will cause a lot of trouble.

“What do you want a supply ship for?” The prince did not want a supply ship. “We only need to protect our tankers in the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf.”

Xie Kai didn’t know what to say.

Could it be that we don’t want to sell too much?

“His Royal Highness, Bahrain and Qatar have always had friendly relations with your country. The two countries are struggling, and your country should mediate from it. In the Mediterranean, even if your country has only one warship, they will not mess around… A few missiles can kill them…”

What Saudi Arabia should worry about is Persia from the other side of the Persian Gulf.

Persia can easily seal off the entire Persian Gulf.

“Then come five ships to form two fleets… But your country’s 035 submarine is a bit loud and can’t launch missiles…”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Fuck!

Xie Kai almost did it.

I can really imagine that they want conventionally powered submarines equipped with missiles.

That is impossible.

It’s impossible in a lifetime.

The lifeblood of oil transportation in the entire world, if such a big killer exists in this area, it would be strange if there is no trouble.

Xie Kai worked hard, all kinds of metaphors, all kinds of guarantees, and finally dispelled the Wang Ye’s thoughts.

In 1982, the country successfully developed the Julang-1 submarine-launched missile, which is equipped on the 031 submarine. Although the range is only 1,700 kilometers, it is really sold. Not to mention the threat to national defense, the whole world will be dissatisfied— -The submarine is not easy to detect. The world is chaotically, and its survivability is much higher than that of surface ships.

It is already very good to give Saudi Arabia a submarine that can put heavy fish.

“Let’s do it, just two ships, whether it is a warship or a submarine, the living environment of officers and soldiers must be improved…” Wang Ye has no opinion on the price proposed by Xie Kai. “The delivery period, the 5 warships must be all within 18 months. The delivery is complete, and the submarine will be delivered within 30 months…”

“His Royal Highness, really do not plan to come to a large-scale supply ship? The price is cheap and the self-defense firepower is sufficient. As long as there is one, your country can form an ocean-going fleet that can sail around the world…” Xie Kai did not give up, but still hopes to sell. A 905 large supply ship to Saudi Arabia.

In that way, the new generation of large-scale supply ships supporting the aircraft carrier will have funds for further research.

“No! We don’t need to build an ocean-going fleet.” Lafata directly rejected Xie Kai, “unless you have a large amphibious landing ship.”

Xie Kai looked embarrassed, that China didn’t have it.

In the end, he could only dispel the idea of ​​selling the supply ship.

After being fooled by Xie Kai, the prince has purchased so many naval equipment, the king may not be able to explain it!

This kid is really not a thing. He sells warships and supplies ships.

There are ports everywhere along the coast of Saudi Arabia. What kind of supplies are needed?

What’s more, the 5 billion U.S. dollars budget given by the king is almost the same. The navy equipment they hadn’t thought about, five warships, 2 submarines, and the total price were 1.7 billion U.S. dollars…

“Thanks, when can you sign a formal contract?” Lafata asked Xie Kai when he sent Xie Kai to leave, “His Royal Highness hopes that most of your orders can be delivered before the delivery of Dongfeng-3… …”

“No problem!” Xie Kai knew that it was very difficult, but still agreed, “We will prepare a formal contract immediately.”

He was also worried.

Because it is not far from the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the United States dominates, naturally there is no need for China to help the Soviet Union.

Then, the peace paradigm is over…

You must know that the United States not only interrupted cooperation when the Soviet Union saw its end, but even imposed an even more serious embargo on China.

At that time, Saudi Arabia may suspend cooperation with China because of its own interests.

“His Royal Highness, it is not in our national interest to spend these money to build a navy!” After Xie Kai left, Lafata worriedly persuaded the prince that he hadn’t signed a formal contract and it was too late to regret it. “I would rather spend less than spend money indiscriminately.”

Lord Sultan looked at his most trusted assistant and shook his head, “We should build a strong navy. Especially in the Persian Gulf, we must have our navy to escort the tankers! The evil Persians and the damn fool We are all madly attacking oil tankers in the Persian Gulf, but we have no way to protect our oil tankers! His Majesty the King is also considering purchasing a frigate to escort…”

The attack on ships in the Persian Gulf has intensified.

From the very beginning, the two sides only slapped a lawsuit. In 1984, Iraq took the lead in launching an attack on ships, and it has intensified even now.

Especially Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, these countries that have nothing to do with the war, because of their support for the Silly Damu war, their oil tankers were also targeted by the damned Persians.

In 1984, 69 oil tankers and cargo ships were attacked; in 1985, 52 merchant ships and oil tankers were attacked; last year, the number rose to 106, and this year is even crazier…

Worsely, the Persians even began to plant mines on the main navigation channel of the Strait of Hormuz.

Saudi Arabia can be transported through the waterways of the Red Sea, but the transportation cost of oil extracted in many oil fields in the Persian Gulf needs to increase…

All countries are starting to arrange fleet escorts. As a big local, Saudi Arabia is actually unable to participate in it.

The prince’s thoughts that Lafata understood.

No one knows how long the Iran-Iraq War will continue, but as the largest oil producer, Saudi Arabia hopes that they will fight for as long as possible, and even hope that the more oil tankers will be bombed, the better…

In that way, it would be more in line with their national interests.

“In any case, we should also have our own escort fleet. Even Bahrain, which is a small country and even has a US garrison, has purchased two frigates!” Wang Ye said calmly.

Bahrain only allows the small US fleet to build naval bases in their country, which is far from the size that later generations would allow the US to station the entire Fifth Fleet with an entire aircraft carrier formation.

These years, in order not to pinch it in the Middle East, even the Soviet military presence in the Middle East is not very high.

Even so, Saudi Arabia has no warships that can be escorted!

Small patrol boats simply cannot face threats from the air.

Bahrain bought warships, on the one hand, to fight Qatar, why not to expand the escort capability? Their entire country’s oil exports still need to pass through the Strait of Hormuz!

“How is it?” Zheng Yucheng and others asked eagerly after Xie Kai came back.

“Agreed, five 053H3, two 35-type submarines…” Xie Kai handed a brief list to Zheng Yucheng and Long Yaohua, “The entire contract price is 4.83 billion yuan… I originally planned to sell another 905 supply ship. They put together 5 billion U.S. dollars, but they don’t want to…”

Having said that, Xie Kai looked sad.

“You really sold it?” Li Mingshan, who was waiting here, didn’t believe it anyway, “What do they want a warship for?”
