Chapter 195 Military Radio
. Bu also had tears in his eyes, but he just hugged him briefly and said, "Get in the car quickly, let's talk in the car!"
This time he didn't bring a single follower, and even his cherished beard was shaved off. He was wearing a suit, which was very different from his original appearance. Several Saudi scientists who came with him were dressed the same. Although his dark skin and dark hair exposed their origin, the Pakistanis were similar to them and were not very conspicuous.
Xiao Qiang didn't ask so much, and immediately took them out of the airport and quickly boarded the Mercedes-Benz sent by the military region. The Saudi scientists got into an air-conditioned bus with the curtains closed.
"What are you afraid of? Are you being chased by someone?" Xiao Qiang looked very nervous and kept watching from the rearview mirror whether there was a car following him, jokingly trying to make him relax.
Abu didn't find it funny at all about his jokes and said nervously: "If I weren't careful, I might be chased and killed!"
Xiao Qiang comforted him a few words, but when he saw that he was still nervous, he was too lazy to persuade him again and let him go.
When the bus got on the highway, Abu suddenly said, "Don't go to your military, I'm afraid someone will be watching the door. Find us a secluded place to live."
Xiao Qiang was startled by a sudden shout and said with a wry smile: "Where is the quietest place? The hotels and restaurants are all coming and going, and the community is full of Chinese. If you live in it, that's more conspicuous? I'm afraid that the farmhouse will take less than three days. The villagers nearby know that there are a group of foreigners living in here! If you want to be quiet, it's still a military district!"
Abu thought about it and found that their physical characteristics were too obvious. If you want to force people to count, you can only count them. The military region is still safest. He nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, arrange an independent residence for us, and it is best not to have other people around you. You should notify the military of our request, and be hidden, safe, and living conditions are second."
Xiao Qiang was urged by him and called the Chief of Staff.
After hearing this, the other party was silent for more than ten seconds and said, "I understand. We have experience in this regard. I will tell you an address, there is one of our nursing homes, which is on the fork in the road, very secluded. There are no people there usually. I will inform them again and arrange a separate courtyard for you, and the car will drive in directly, and no one will know. We will dispatch the waiter specifically, and the original people will be on holiday during this period."
Xiao Qiang told the driver the address. The driver understood as soon as he heard it. He walked a few kilometers and got off the expressway at an interchange and drove onto a cement road.
After repeated journeys, the car turned into a path with almost no pedestrians, and finally drove into an old door with a storefront.
The gate is full of trees, and it seems that it has been a long time since the branches are lush. The branches and leaves block the outside view, and they cannot see the specific situation inside.
The sanatorium is quite large, with ponds, gardens, sports fields, gymnasiums. On the way, I only saw a few staff members, but not many people were walking around.
Abu is very satisfied with the place.
The car finally drove into a small courtyard, and the walls separated the courtyard from the sanatorium.
There is an open space of about 100 square meters inside, and a two-story building, which looks very clean.
Abu's cautious behavior made Xiao Qiang infected. Before getting off the car, he looked around for a long time before opening the car door and rushed into the guesthouse like a thief with Abu and others.
Several Saudi scientists were assigned to live in several rooms by Abbott.
Anyway, all the rooms here are prepared for them, even one room for each person is more than enough.
Abu chose the most luxurious one himself. Although it was not as good as a guest room compared to his royal palace, he immediately lay on the bed, spread his limbs, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I said brother, which one did you sing? It was so mysterious." Xiao Qiang sat on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief. After all the trouble, he became a little nervous.
As soon as he said this, Abu jumped from the bed and grabbed Xiao Qiang's hand: "Brother, this matter is of great importance. Brother, I'll give my life to you!"
"Tell me slowly. What happened that made you so nervous?" Xiao Qiang's mind turned desperately, thinking about what was going on, making Abu so scared.
Did this kid treason or offend extremist militants and be hunted down by others?
"Is this room?" the chief of staff asked outside the door, and he got a positive answer, pushed open the door and walked in.
Not only the Chief of Staff, but also the Chief of Confidentiality and Reception Director of the Military Region. They drove from the Military Region and rushed over. There were people walking outside, and there seemed to be quite a few people coming.
Abu was startled by their actions of opening the door. He calmed down when he saw that it was the Chief of Staff and others.
The Director of Confidentiality explained: "The people in the nursing home were temporarily transferred to other places. Reliable people acted as waiters outside. In this courtyard, we sent double posts to ensure that the news will not leak out in a loose and tight manner."
"That's good, very good!" Abu finally smiled and sat loosely on the edge of the bed.
"Okay, what happened? Can you tell me now?" Xiao Qiang poured a glass of water and handed it to Abu's hand.
"Then, I will talk about the decision of our government first." Abu took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and was too nervous, causing his water to be lost faster than normal. "We decided to purchase a large amount of individual soldiers' digital equipment and hope to purchase a supporting comprehensive combat command system. Please note that we are purchasing a large amount of purchases, a large amount! The estimated total purchase volume will exceed 30,000 sets, and another ten percent will be purchased for replacement and supplementation."
"Thirty-three thousand sets!" The Chief of Staff, the Director of Confidentiality and others all twitched their eyes.
Rich people are different. Their actions are so generous that Chinese soldiers feel ashamed!
Abu seemed a little dissatisfied with the number and said reluctantly: "Brother Xiao Qiang promised me that it would take at least three years to supply all the equipment! If Brother Xiao Qiang can increase production capacity, it would be better."
Xiao Qiang couldn't help but say, "Hey, what I promised is 100 sets per month. You said you hope to reach 800 sets per month, and you can add more money to me. I can't bear it."
Abu held Xiao Qiang's hand and looked at him
Cheng: "Brother Xiao Qiang is known as a tech magician, we believe that you are one."
Xiao Qiang looked at the starry-shaped expression in his eyes and suddenly felt a chill, and quickly agreed: "I will do my best, I will do my best!"
Abu smiled with relief: "I knew that Brother Xiao Qiang is sincerely for us and will not make things difficult for me!"
Hearing his ambiguous speech, the Chief of Staff, the Director of Confidentiality, and the Director of the Reception were twitching on his face, looking at Xiao Qiang strangely, his body moved unnaturally. Xiao Qiang saw their bare arms and had goose bumps.
Xiao Qiang wanted to argue, but he pulled his hand back with grief and anger, and reached the corner, the farthest from Abu.
Abu was not concerned about his actions. He then said: "This time, we hope to achieve the quality of international special military products. Of course, this cost will also increase a lot. But we hope it will not be too expensive. Our psychologically expected price is 20,000 US dollars per set. With the comprehensive combat command system and other supporting equipment, the total value will not exceed 800 million US dollars."
Xiao Qiang suddenly stood up and said, "How is this possible? The cost of each set is more than ten times that of the civilians. How can you get the 20,000 US dollars?"
"But this is the largest contract for our single military purchase contract after buying f16f15 from the United States. We only spent 20 billion US dollars to buy military equipment from the United States. It is also difficult for us to spend too much money at one time!" Abu cried out.
The Chief of Staff suddenly interrupted and said, "The quality of such a high price is only sold for 20,000 US dollars, which is indeed a little less. Of course, it is too expensive. It is not conducive to the friendship between us. It is better to double it, and each set of equipment is 35,000 US dollars!"
Xiao Qiang didn't understand why the Chief of Staff helped him bargain, but he also said immediately: "No, the price of each set should not be less than 40,000 US dollars!"
"Forty thousand US dollars is 40,000 US dollars!" Abu unexpectedly agreed to the offer, but after hearing what he said, Xiao Qiang was almost angry. "According to our agreement, we will also participate in the development. So, we also have 50% of the shares. Then we only need to pay half of it..."
"Nonsense! It's ridiculous, how can you settle the score like this!" Xiao Qiang said in a furious manner.
Abu didn't tell Xiao Qiang about brotherhood, and also blushed and said, "Is there any American in your land? The Americans are only 70,000 US dollars a set, how much do you want to sell? Twenty-five thousand is the limit of our acceptance! Otherwise, we will buy it from the Americans!"
Even if you want to buy it, Americans may not be willing to sell it! Xiao Qiang said in his stomach, but he didn't say it.
What he did was a business without capital. Of course, it would be good to make more, but it wouldn't work. It would be okay to make less. He mainly wanted to explore the Saudis' underground and maximize profits.
Seeing that both of them were unwilling to give in, the atmosphere was stalemate, and everyone around came to persuade him.
The reception director smoothed out and said, "The relationship between our two countries has always been very good, so there is no need to quarrel over such a trivial matter. In fact, everyone just take a step back."
"Yes, yes, it's all for cooperation. Mr. Xiao said 40,000 US dollars, and I think there is still room for concessions. Since Prince Abu is also sincere, he must consider that we cannot suffer too much. In terms of price, should we still give in?"
"Thirty thousand, thirty thousand dollars, you can't add a penny! Either it's done, or I'll go back to Riyadh right away! In addition, the quality must be guaranteed!" Prince Abu said toughly.
Thirty thousand per set is only one billion. Xiao Qiang was already smiling, but his face still made a look of uncompromising. He sat in the corner angrily, without saying anything - he was afraid of quarreling again, and scared Prince Abu away!
He was anxious, why don’t you guys who tried to fight?
Give me a step, give me a step!
The room was quiet, and everyone was thinking about the quotation of the order. No one came out to help Xiao Qiang step down.
Xiao Qiang was so anxious that he accepted Abu's offer, but was afraid that the other party would think he had suffered a big loss (although that's the case). He continued to win the bull market, but he was afraid that the order would fly away, and was worried about gains and losses, so the reception director still spoke.
"We will discuss this price issue slowly. There is no need to worry. Let's take out the samples first. Do you think so? The performance and cost are not clear, and everyone is talking about it. At that time, they feel that they have suffered a loss and will not benefit everyone. Let's put this issue aside for the time being!"
His pertinent statement broke the dullness in the room, and everyone's face looked much better.
Abu's face changed, he nodded with a smile and agreed with his statement, and then said, "Okay, let's wait for the sample to come out before discussing. Let's continue our order.
The results of the confrontation exercise. You have informed us through our military officers stationed in China…”
The Chief of Staff and others looked at each other. When did they report it? But they immediately realized that they reported it to the Military Commission truthfully throughout the exercise. It is estimated that the Military Commission did not want to sell inferior products to Saudi Arabia, which caused the other party to be angry and affected the relationship between the two countries. Therefore, they reported it to the other party's military officers in China and passed it to the Saudi government.
"It should. It should be that China and Saudi Arabia are all brothers (updated the fastest)!" The reception director responded the fastest and said modestly.
The room was peaceful and everyone was polite to each other. How could there be the tension when the price was just now?
Abu was kind and said to everyone: "Actually, we are very interested in the test equipment. If the electronic countermeasure performance can be slightly improved, it can resist general electronic interference and the price remains unchanged. We also hope to purchase a large amount of money."
This is his ultimate goal.
The highest performance digital individual equipment is equipped with core troops, and an elite unit of 30,000 people is formed. Then a large amount of cheap individual equipment is purchased as the main force to deal with general local conflicts. Such a mixed legion, not to mention in the Middle East, is even against ordinary military powers in the world. They also have greater confidence.
To put it bluntly, they were still a little afraid that Saddam would make crazy actions again.
The Iraqi army suffered less losses than expected in the Gulf War, and the main force was still in place. During the honeymoon between the Soviet Union and them, they sold a large number of advanced equipment. After several years of cultivation after the Gulf War, the combat effectiveness of the Iraqi army returned to its peak state.
However, the situation in the Soviet Union
The hardliners collapsed instantly, and Iraq's most important supporters changed their attitude once they lost their temper. Military personnel retreated, showed goodwill to the United States, and interrupted the military purchase contract. Western countries followed suit and immediately announced that they would impose sanctions on Iraq. The smoke of war ground was densely spread over the Middle East.
The fighter jets of multiple countries had many air battles with Iraq, with more victory than defeat, and slowly drove the Iraqi air force back to its own airspace.
Many countries now dare not break into Iraqi airspace too much. After all, the air defense missiles sold by the Soviet Union to Saddam are not vegetarians.
Their air force patiently attacked important Iraqi targets on the periphery to destroy the opponent's air defense capabilities.
This battle is probably longer than the First Gulf War. Saudi Arabia was also startled for several days, afraid that Iraqi troops would break into the border.
One thing Abu said is true reality.
That is, in order to rely on the protection of the United States, they purchased a large number of local military equipment from the other party. Another thing that is not mentioned is that the military expenditure of the US military is also supported by several Gulf countries, because they are afraid that the United States will lose money, so they are suddenly unwilling to fight and throw them to Saddam.
Therefore, building an army with strong combat effectiveness is the focus of Saudi Arabia.
The Air Force purchased a large number of F16 and F15 and was promoted to the US military and local training. I believe that after the army was formed, it can still be used to resist the threat of Iraqi fighter jets.
Relatively speaking, what they fear most was the 500,000 troops after Iraq's reorganization.
These are veterans who have fought with many national troops, with rich war experience, and Soviet tank equipment. Saudi Arabia has no confidence in fighting such a tiger and wolf army.
Although it is now a multinational force led by the United States, it is confronting Iraq.
But they did not dare to put all their hopes on the Americans. History tells people that Americans and Soviets are not reliable allies. They will abandon their friends yesterday and leave the matter for their own interests at any time.
Faced with this situation, strengthening the army's own combat effectiveness is their first goal.
In this way, Xiao Qiang's digital troops jumped into their sight.
At first, Abu was not optimistic about the digital troops that Xiao Qiang had created. However, after the confrontation exercise, his attitude made a 180-degree turn. Especially such a low price made the Saudi military very moved.
This time, the Saudi military proposed to do its best to help Universal Company improve digital equipment, purchase some elite versions of digital equipment, and then equip a large number of cheap digital equipment to form a purely digital army in the form of high and low matching.
After repeated evaluations, the Saudi military believed that such a legion should be able to deal with more than five times the combat effectiveness of the Iraqi Republic Guard.
They can take out billions at once to ensure the security of the country. They can even pay out the money. If they don’t, they will cry!
As a fundraising site response, Saudi Arabia is stepping up oil extraction at home and selling it all over the world. China's failed oil purchase plan due to Iraq's sanctions, all of which were filled by Saudi Arabia.
Selling oil and exchanging military purchases is Saudi Arabia's current basic national policy.
Xiao Qiang was a little confused when he heard Abu back to Saudi Arabia and wanted to buy the first version of experimental digital equipment.
It is impossible to improve on the basis of the first edition.
The Saudis also understand the truth, so they only proposed to cope with low-intensity electronic confrontation without randomly raising the indicators.
He looked at the Chief of Staff and others. Whether this confrontation is low or the electronic confrontation is low or requires experts to be qualified to judge. The Chief of Staff and others deal with equipment every day, and they understand how likely it is to achieve it.
The Chief of Staff and others exchanged their gazes with each other and nodded slightly.
Xiao Qiang knew it.
Anyway, if the other party comes to handle the military communication, he is just pretending. He also answered readily: "No problem, how many sets do you want?"
Abu didn't say anything. His hands were spread open and stood in front of Xiao Qiang.
"Ten thousand sets?...Bah, ten thousand is ten thousand, how could there be such an awkward technical method... Unless you want...100 thousand sets!" Xiao Qiang's butt slid to the ground without sitting firmly.
One hundred thousand digital equipment, plus the thirty-three thousand sets mentioned at first!
A chill sounded in the room. Even though the Chief of Staff and other senior generals had excellent psychological qualities, they couldn't help but change their faces at this time.
What the Saudis have purchased so much digital equipment, but what they have done is not an experiment!
This is clearly about building a digital legion!
Saudi Arabia took out no less than 3 billion US dollars in one go, and wanted to have a digital legion equipped with 130,000 yuan. This is probably the first digital force in the world that can be invested in actual combat!
With 100% of this army, the Saudi Army will become the top-ranking strong army!
The Chief of Staff and others were so jealous that they were crazy.
This is not the money. This is burning money! However, although they are jealous, it is hard for them to say whether they want to build a digital legion if they have so much money.
They turned their minds and suddenly realized that the Saudis did not suffer any losses in this transaction!
Judging from the current situation where Xiao Qiang provides 800 sets of equipment every month, it will take thirteen years to complete the equipment of 130,000 troops! Even if Universal Company increases its production capacity through large-scale production, it will take seven or eight years to change the Saudi military.
So, this order of 3 billion is also paid in batches, only 200 to 300 million per year, so the payment pressure is not great!
From another perspective, prices are always rising.
The currency is depreciating, but the military purchase contract is signed in advance. Therefore, with the continuous improvement of digital equipment and the final settlement, the equipment obtained by the Saudis has become more and more advanced, but the unit price seems to be getting lower and lower!
No wonder they signed such a large order at once and remained calm.
The Chief of Staff and others thought about it and jumped up.
If Xiao Qiang's production capacity is only 800 sets per month, when will the equipment promised to be given to us be provided? Ten or eight years later, they looked at Xiao Qiang in one go, but found that he was sitting on the ground, drooling and falling into dementia.
He was settled, and he was thrilled.
He was thinking that I could reorganize 100 sets of core components every day and hand them over to the assembly workshop. That month would be 30,000 sets, and a year would be 360,000 sets. If we withdraw the balance, we would calculate the average price of 20,000 US dollars, and a year would be 7.2 billion US dollars!
Seventy and two billion dollars!
His eyes shone brightly, and he remembered to dance. Unfortunately, there are only a handful of kids like Abu in this world! Oh my God, why don’t you let every country buy digital individual equipment from me?
Fight, fight quickly!
The equipment in war is broken quickly, so if it breaks, I will buy it with me! I will sell it on the left and the right, and Iraq will sell it to Saudi Arabia. They will fight to the death...
Xiao Qiang's saliva flowed down like a line.
Now he clearly understands the mood of those arms dealers. The most profitable thing in the world is arms! Otherwise, why would the happiest thing when he heard Iraq invading Kuwait were the arms dealers such as Raytheon?
Arms merchant, I also want to be an arms merchant!
He suddenly stood up from the ground, wiped his saliva with his sleeves, patted his chest, and expressed his passionate statement: "No problem! China and Saudi Arabia are friendly for generations, and are neighboring countries, relying on each other, never leaving each other... In short, I have sacrificed my time! From today on, I will live in the workshop. If I don't complete the order in one day, I won't come out!"
Everyone was full of mouths and listened to his nonsense.
It’s okay to say that generations are friendly, but how can I start with this one?
Could it be that Xiao Qiang was under pressure to produce tasks with such a large number of people, and he became abnormal under pressure?
Abu was trembling and did not dare to stimulate Xiao Qiang anymore. He said in his gentleest voice: "That, in fact, you can do your best, don't try so hard..."
Xiao Qiang looked at him with anger: "Why not fight to the death? The vast majority of Saudi people are living under the terror threat of Saddam. For world peace and justice and freedom in the world, I don't go to hell, who will go to hell! I will rush back and work with the company's scientists. To solve the communication problem, you must use reliable digital equipment!"
Abu is increasingly convinced that he is putting too much pressure on Xiao Qiang, and he is making him speak unreasonably. If Huanyu Company can independently solve the problem of military communications, why should it come up with an immature product?
He hugged Xiao Qiang's shoulder and asked him to sit down. He adjusted his tone and whispered: "Brother, don't worry. I came here secretly this time just to help you solve your communication problems."
"Oh? Do you have a way?" Xiao Qiang slowly woke up and realized that he was stunned by a sudden big order.
After all, the order this time is too big. This is not one or two hundred million, but a total of three billion US dollars!
Now that he was a little clear-headed, he realized that the communication problem would be resolved by the military and him. Hearing Abu boasted that he could help him. Xiao Qiang thought he had heard it wrong and asked back.
With such strength as Universal, does Abu still have an exclusive secret recipe?
Seeing Xiao Qiang's eyes gradually becoming clear, Abu breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he had put too much pressure on his brother Xiao Qiang, which made him behave abnormally.
Thinking of this, he spoke softer: "Yes. Didn't we say we could work together to develop together? In fact, we knew our scientific and technological strength. We could not undertake such a big project. However, we could not stand by and watch. Just enjoy the results. Later, we thought repeatedly and found that what we could contribute was to provide a US military radio station for you to study..."
Boom, the Chief of Staff and others stood up together, and everyone showed an incredible look.
"Would you like to provide us with a US military radio station? How do you have a US military radio station? Do you have a password book?"
"Where is the radio station? Let's get it right away!"
"What kind of radio station is it? Is it an ordinary individual radio station?"
Several people rushed to ask out loud, mixed together and couldn't hear anything.
Abu didn't even look at them, but said to Xiao Qiang gently: "We formed a joint command with the US military. In order to smooth communication and exchange data with each other, the US military provided us with a batch of radio stations. I know that your anti-cracking capabilities are very strong, and you should be able to quickly understand the working principle of this radio station. The chips inside can be copied.
However, we took a lot of risks in doing this. If the US military knew that we provided you with a radio station, I am afraid that the two countries would immediately turn against each other! So, this time, we came in my personal name, leaked the news, and pushed me out and took all the responsibility! Even if I challenged you to the ends of the world, the Americans would never let me go!
Brother, my life is in your hands! Please be sure to keep it completely confidential and never let anyone know that I have been here and provide you with a radio station!"
The Director of Confidentiality said nothing, turned around and went out immediately, and quickly ordered: "Everyone here, check again, and any unreliable things should be replaced immediately! From now on, here will be subject to first-level confidentiality warning. Without the command of the military chief, no one is allowed to enter!"
Military radio stations, the most important thing when fighting is to gain control of information.
When ammunition and food are exhausted, soldiers can surrender, but the radio station must be completely destroyed and the secret code must be burned. This is clearly formulated as a military rule.
If we get the complete radio and passwords of the US military and figure out the encoding mechanism, even if the US military changes it in the future, we will have a clearer context to follow to help us crack the opponent's password faster.
Chapter completed!
