In fact, Saudi Arabia still has a very good impression of China. A large part of this comes from the third India-Pakistan War. In this war, India simply sent troops to occupy Bangladesh, which was still part of the United Kingdom at the time, and conquered the country. Japan was dismembered and became the current United States and Bangladesh, achieving its goal of hegemony in South Asia.
During the war, the Japanese army was defeated by the Indians, and the Eastern Japanese army was forced to surrender. However, the Japanese pilots trained in China flew J-6 fighter jets purchased from the other side. It performed well in the war, and China even directly handed over the Type 59 tanks in active service to the Communist Party, and the relationship between the two parties became closer.
And the relationship between Saudi Arabia and Saudi Arabia has always been close. For the small days of Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia relied on Riyadh. Affected by this, the relationship between Saudi Arabia and China is considered good, at least it is not demonized, but we have to wait for more information from both sides. To get closer, we have to wait for the subsequent commercial order transaction!
After staying in Saudi Arabia for a few days, Shepard drafted a pretty good list. The items above were all drawn up with reference to the technical and tactical levels of the Afghan guerrillas. Shepard did not write about tanks and artillery. Such impractical gadgets are simply not realistic for Afghan guerrillas.
What he listed were all light and flexible types, such as various types of light weapons, including Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, Type 56 submachine guns, Type 56 squad light machine guns, Type 67 machine guns, Type 69 40mm rocket launchers, Type 65 recoilless rifles, and The most important thing is the 107mm rocket launcher!
These things are what the Afghan fellows urgently need most. In fact, at the beginning, the Afghans have already obtained some of the weapons in the list through ****, and the fellows have the best evaluation of the 107mm rockets!
Not only fellow countrymen, but also the Soviets had a headache with the 107 rocket launcher. However, the Afghans had a limited number of similar weapons, and sometimes they could not even hit the target, which wasted ammunition.
But even so, the Soviets rated it as a nightmare, because their convoys were poorly protected against such rockets. After a hail of bullets, people were turned upside down. For this reason, the Soviets often dispatched special forces to clear them up.
This is true for the sparse rocket launchers, so if there were more, the Soviets would definitely explode even more!
Of course, this is not to say that there are no similar weapons in Europe and the United States, but the problem is that whether it is a K153 rocket launcher or a 136 anti-tank missile, the price is more expensive. At the same price, you can buy more goods, so why not?
After arriving at the Fort, the government immediately issued a meeting request in accordance with Saudi Arabia's request, and explained the origin straightforwardly.
Shepard even wrote in Chinese characters on the document that wealth and wealth will come to your door, and money will come quickly if you are stupid.
Later, after consulting the relevant parties, the local diplomatic department responded to the request and found a secret place under the arrangement of the police.
Because Saudi Arabia and China have not yet established diplomatic relations, these things must be kept secret.
For this meeting, the Inter-Services Intelligence Agency specially arranged for an interpreter. However, after everyone sat down, before the interpreter could speak, Shepard had already spoken first.
"Man, this tea smells good. Could you please give me a cup?"
The person sitting opposite Shepard's eyes widened. After all, it was the first time for him to see an American in the Saudi team in the **** territory, and he still spoke with a very authentic Beijing accent.
However, the comrade concerned still generously made another cup of tea, and even ordered someone to prepare a few more bags to give as souvenirs when the other party left.
After Shepard made such a joke, the slightly tense atmosphere between the two parties suddenly relaxed a lot.
"I didn't know Mr. Shepard could speak so fluently!"
"I'm self-taught. I can speak eight foreign languages, and I also learned some African dialects. After all, my work demands it!"
"That's really a language genius!"
"I learned all this from the respected Prime Minister. I heard that he also knows eight foreign languages!"
So the comrades concerned also
I started to get speechless, no, why did this foreigner’s eyes light up when he mentioned Premier Zhou? What on earth did this guy do?
However, Shepard didn't seem to be faking and still won some favor from the other party.
After a burst of formulaic diplomatic rhetoric, it was time for everyone to get straight to the point.
"We need to buy weapons from you and send them to Afghanistan to fight the Soviets. Don't worry, these guys are heavyweights. Money is not a problem. We can even pay first and then buy the goods. Don't say no to these big guys. The big boss behind him is even more important and can buy more things!"
After Shepard finished speaking, he was also stunned. It was over. He seemed to have spoken too quickly and said something he shouldn't have said. However, looking at the translator from **** on the side who also looked a little confused, Shepard immediately felt relieved. Come on, this guy doesn’t seem to understand, so Saudi Arabia doesn’t have to worry! Read the book
"Fifty million, we brought fifty million, dollars, green tickets, not rubles or rupees, but Daole!"
In order to prevent the relevant comrade sitting opposite from using diplomatic rhetoric to distract him, Shepard directly raised his right hand and made a five.
The words about comrades were also frightened away by him, and then everyone looked at the middle-aged man sitting in the main seat opposite Shepard.
You must know that China's foreign exchange reserves at this moment are only 2 billion US dollars. Therefore, this 50 million may be just a small amount for the big dogs in Saudi Arabia, but for China, it is A big number.
So, the pressure came on the concerned comrade. After thinking for more than ten seconds, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, then gently put the teacup down and replied.
"We can't decide this, we have to ask the country for instructions!"
"It's okay, just ask for instructions. Besides, this is a preliminary list. I don't know much about your weapons. You have been dealing with the Soviets for so long, so you should be able to recommend some more effective ones. Don't worry, the price is not an issue. , if you don’t want dollars, we can also pay with oil!”
Shepard did not intend to do any small tricks such as kickbacks in this order, because once he can successfully connect these two parties, the benefits he will get will not be small, and there is no need to lose big for small things, so he is very If you are sincere, no matter whether the money is fully spent or not, he will not take any penny from it, and will refund more and make up less!
