Because it was related to authentic knife music, comrades from the relevant departments did not dare to relax in any way and reported the situation overnight.
The people above also began to ponder. After all, the country's foreign exchange reserves are pitiful. If you want to buy some advanced Western equipment, you don't have the money to buy it. So, this gun...
"Sell!"
"Anyway, no matter how good our relationship with the Soviet Union is, it won't get any better. It doesn't matter whether we sell it or not, so why not sell it!"
Not to mention that there are only some light weapons on the list, even heavy weapons, as long as you have enough money, you can sell them! There are also mushrooms. Let’s talk about mushrooms separately!
Because the Saudi order is a rare non-supportive subsidy project, all parties attach great importance to it, especially the several arsenals that heard the news, such as the 803 Arsenal that developed the ***107mm rocket, and the Type 67 The National Ordnance Research Institute of Machine Guns, etc. are all scrambling to get more shares for their units.
Various calls were made to BJ one after another to inquire about the news. The relevant departments who were impatient after being harassed finally made the final decision. They had no say in what to sell. The big ones had the final say. No, the VIPs had the final say!
Subsequently, a professional team consisting of professional technical officers, researchers, and engineers was formed in a very short period of time. They were specially formed to be responsible for counting customer needs and formulating a list.
Positioning is like VIP exclusive customer service in future generations!
Soon the team was sent to Fort *** by military plane, and then took over the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"56 punch, this is the most suitable weapon for Afghan fellows. Just like the AK, you can continue to shoot after you have captured the bullets. There is also the 56 and a half, which is accurate and deadly. You can still use it after you have captured the bullets!"
"And our 107mm rocket launcher has a maximum range of 8.5 kilometers, a warhead weighing 8.33 kilograms, and a killing radius of 12.5 meters! This thing is light and flexible, and can be fired without a barrel! This rocket uses an electric primer and only needs to be powered on. It can trigger the primer, and it can be launched with one battery and two wires! If there is no battery during the war, you can also be more brutal and rough, take a hammer or stone to directly smash the rocket tail cover, and use an open flame to ignite the message tube at the tail of the rocket to launch. !」
The technical team from China strongly recommends the three major weapons of the guerrillas, AK, RPG, 107, Type 56 submachine gun is AK, and 40 rocket launcher is RPG. These are the best styles for fellow countrymen.
The operation and use of these weapons does not require professional personnel, and only simple training is required to master the operation methods.
In addition to the above weapons, the other party also recommended something that Shepard did not expect, the Red Arrow 73 missile!
The Red Arrow 73 missile is China's imitation of the Soviet SEG-3 missile. It is mainly used to attack enemy tanks and other armored vehicles within a distance of 100 meters to 4,000 meters.
Its appearance filled the equipment gap, and it was also considered as a guy with a little more resistance when facing the steel torrent of its northern neighbor.
The missile uses visual tracking, three-point guidance, manual control, and wire transmission instructions. Only two or three people can carry a missile plus a launcher and operating system to move it. However, the disadvantage is that this thing requires professional training. Learn how to launch.
And because the missile has not been finalized and produced for many years, in fact, China's domestic demand has not been met, but who asked the Saudis to give too much, so it is better to suffer a little harder, good brothers, and the infamy will be blamed on the factory. Come and bear it!
Several Saudis were dumbfounded by this formation and could only look to Shepard for help. The latter was holding representatives from the arms industry to discuss the authorized production of weapons. Shepard himself asked the arms industry representatives first. I bought a thousand Type 80 general-purpose machine guns. This thing is a Japanese imitation of the Soviet PK general-purpose machine gun. However, it is only used by the Marine Corps in China. Most of them are exported by the weapons industry!
As for how good the PK machine gun is, it goes without saying. The Americans also said it was good after using it. The Poles even changed the caliber of the weapon and continued to use it. It can be called a T0-level product in the arms market.
It's just that the Soviets couldn't give PK to Shadow Company and sell it everywhere, but the weapons industry could. Shepard even recommended his own company to the other party.
Our products, especially the AR rifles and P5 submachine guns produced by KAC, are in demand not only by the military but also by the police!
Before the two of them finished speaking, the representative of the weapons industry was squeezed away by his colleagues. Then, a group of people surrounded Shepard and began to discuss the quantity.
After almost an entire afternoon of discussion, the two sides finally finalized the number of weapons, including tens of thousands of automatic rifles and thousands of rocket launchers. The bulk of the 50 million purchase was for the 107 rocket launcher, which the Afghans For the much-needed heavy firepower, you must buy more, especially rockets. You don’t even need launchers, but you must have enough rockets!
As for the Red Arrow 73 anti-tank missiles, Shepard finally bought less than a hundred of them, and the number could not be more, because the operators of this thing require a lot of training, unlike rocket launchers, which can be operated by those who understand a little mathematics and can read a ruler. .
And compared to other weapons, the Red Arrow 73 is also relatively expensive, so you can only buy a few!
In addition, Shepard also added a large number of bullets, wooden handle grenades, anti-tank and anti-infantry mines and explosives to the list. In short, Shepard spent all the 50 million, without giving a cent. Keep it to yourself.
After signing the agreement, as soon as Shepard handed over the list and comparison table to the Saudis, the latter was already asking the other party how to pay for the goods. This attitude of treating money as money was really enviable to the other party.
So everyone patted their chests and promised that they would call their subordinates to work overtime and satisfy all customer service needs in the shortest possible time!
Later, after the Saudi assistant sent the list back to Saudi Arabia, it also opened the eyes of several big investors, because the things purchased for 50 million were not at the same level as those purchased from the West!
"It seems that our new friends are very sincere in doing business!"
"Yes, I don't know the quality of those weapons, but looking at the weight, you can feel their attitude!"
This incident was even known to Prince Sultan, who became more interested in China's military weapons, and this interest also allowed Saudi Arabia to gain a lot of limelight in a subsequent arms trade.
But now, no one except Shepard will know that just four years later, Saudi Arabia and China will be able to reach such a deal. Even Prince Sultan, the proposer of the plan, could not imagine it!
