Chapter 540: China's Choice
(Everyone was so upset that they were angry. They only saw the loss of not exporting Dongfeng 3. However, did the Soviet Union's early efforts to promote the friendship between the island countries towards China, which also gave China more benefits? The solution to the border issues between the two sides reduced China's military expenditure? Various investments in China have allowed China to develop rapidly. China's reform and opening up is full of vitality and the rapid economic development is more meaningful than the billions of dollars of windfall of big-name households! They also exported advanced weapons to China. Otherwise, in the 1980s, we would have conquered the world!)
China.
It was just dark and the lights were on. The Lunar New Year was approaching, and the capital was very lively. This was not the era when Beijing was drifting everywhere in the later generations. Most of the people living in the capital were locals.
A black embassy-licensed sedan passed through the street and drove into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"Mr. Sherbakov, I'm very sorry. I'll call you very late." After entering the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Minister Huang of Foreign Affairs welcomed him into the conference room, his tone was very quiet: "We just received the news that you plan to export to India's S-200 air defense missiles. We are sorry for this. If India gets an air defense missile with a range of more than 200 kilometers, it means a threat to us."
Andrei, the most active and capable general of the Soviet Union, made the words that he made were absolutely meaningful. After receiving the news, Zhongnanhai held urgent consultations, while Minister Huang hurriedly summoned the Soviet ambassador to China.
"We have had a lot of unpleasant feelings with the Soviet Union, but in recent years, we are very happy to see that the relationship between the two countries is moving to a new height and our cooperation is very smooth. Therefore, we are very unaware that you have made actions to damage the interests of our two countries at this time. The large range of this air defense missile has turned it into an offensive weapon." Minister Huang continued.
"So, is your side trying to protest to Moscow?" asked Sherbakov.
"It is not a protest either. We want your explanation. If you cannot give us a reasonable explanation, maybe we will protest." Minister Huang continued.
He had made great determination to say this.
"As far as we know, Saudi Prince Bandar came to the mainland. Just today, Saudi Arabia's Prince Sultan, who is in charge of national defense affairs, also transferred from Malaysia to here." Sherbakov said: "This is your internal affairs. We will not interfere in your internal affairs. However, we also understand that Saudi Arabia is now eager to obtain ballistic missiles, which will seriously threaten the security issues in the Middle East, and we do not want to see this happen. The appearance of ballistic missiles in Saudi Arabia will greatly affect regional stability in the Middle East. We will never interfere with any other weapons except ballistic missiles, and we will never interfere with your exports."
Sherbakov's words made Minister Huang's face change suddenly. It is absolutely secret that the Saudis come to China. How did the Soviets know? What did they know? Who were bribed by the Soviets within their own side?
Seeing Minister Huang's expression, Sherbakov knew that he was right. In fact, the management of China is closer than that of the Soviets, and no agents can be found. Prince Bandar left the United States and arrived in Hong Kong, but never appeared. Prince Sultan disappeared in Malaysia. These are the KGB's judgments, and they all came to China secretly to discuss the export of weapons with China. And now, sure enough, the other party's expression confirmed the correctness of their judgment.
These people came to China to buy the Dongfeng-3 missile. These are General Andre's judgments! And now, this judgment is completely correct!
"We know that the Saudis are very rich, and this amount of funds is very important to your country. However, I also believe that the friendship between us, Moscow and you are also extremely important. During your reform and opening up, we and the island countries have made a lot of investment in China, objectively prospering your country's market. We should look at these issues from a longer-term perspective and not be affected by one or two things."
It is clear that China exports Dongfeng-3 to Saudi Arabia for money, and the Soviet Union's investment in China is also money. How much can China get from exporting Saudi Arabia's ballistic missile project? The historical declassified news is only US$3.5 billion, and now, the investment of the Soviet Union and island countries in China has reached nearly US$10 billion! In the mutual cooperation between the two sides, although the Soviet Union needs China's light industrial products, the trade between the two sides has indeed created greater opportunities for China, feeding more companies, and making China's reforms full of vitality.
Saudi Arabia's ballistic missiles will seriously affect the stability of the Middle East and the Soviet Union's strategy.
That's why the Soviet Union sold weapons to India! If China stopped exporting such weapons, India wouldn't have obtained such weapons too!
This method is very rogue, but there is interests between countries. Where can there be such pure friendship?
After seeing off the Saudi ambassador, Minister Huang hurried to Zhongnanhai. Duke Deng was still waiting for his report. This is the trump card of the Soviets.
The scenery of the north is filled with ice for thousands of miles and snow for thousands of miles.
Standing on the high Great Wall and looking at the spectacular scene in the distance, Prince Sultan has never seen such a magnificent scenery since he was a child.
Since it was winter, there were not many people coming to the Great Wall to watch, and only a few of them were guards. Looking at this scene, Prince Sultan put his collar down, revealing his beard.
Along the way, it covers people's ears and ears, and only here can you breathe a sigh of relief.
Saudi Arabia has no time to wait! With the support of the Soviet Union, Iraq's confidence is constantly expanding. It is said that yesterday, the Soviet Union had agreed in principle to export air defense missiles with a range of hundreds of kilometers to Iraq! Although the Soviets promised to export conventional warhead missiles, who can check the transactions between the two sides? There is only a wall between the air defense missiles and the ballistic missiles. If these air defense missiles do not explode in the air and fall to the ground, they are ballistic missiles!
After Prince Bandar came to China and expressed his wishes, China also hoped to further discuss the export of Dongfeng-3, so Prince Sultan came.
Now, we are waiting for the results of the discussion on China. If nothing unexpected happens, Prince Sultan will be able to go to the Dongfeng-3 missile base this afternoon to see the killer weapons made by China. Those Chinese-made killers can effectively safeguard Saudi Arabia's national security! Moreover, with ballistic missiles, Saudi Arabia can better protect other ysl countries! Maintain peace in the Gulf region!
Thinking of this, Prince Sultan's fingers began to tremble inexplicably. I don't know if it was excitement or any worries.
At this moment, a staff member in a uniform gently came to Prince Sultan and whispered to him: "Your Highness, I am very sorry. After careful discussion, we decided to terminate the weapon export agreement with you. We apologize again. Perhaps, you can consider purchasing other weapons, tanks, aircrafts, and cannons from us. Our prices are the lowest in the world."
Hearing this, Prince Sultan was stunned: "Why?" (To be continued.)
