Chapter 705: Knocked unconscious by a ditch

Liu Tao shook his head.

He did not expect that Prince Sultan and Prince Fahd were still so naive.

Even in this situation, they still had such luck in their hearts.

In comparison, Saddam of Iraq was a cruel and ruthless person. No wonder he could rise quickly, take power, and become a prominent figure in the Middle East.

Compared with others, Saddam was really a man sent from heaven to Iraq!

"Difficult! Very difficult! Very difficult!" Liu Tao said with certainty: "According to the intelligence I got, Saddam assembled 200,000 troops on the Saudi border and 100,000 troops on the Kuwaiti border. How many troops does Kuwait have in total? Can you stop Iraq's 100,000 elite armored forces?"

Prince Sultan and Prince Fahd's faces changed even more.

200,000 troops! ?

100,000 troops! ?

In other words, Saddam, the bastard, assembled 300,000 troops to invade their two countries!

How could they resist so many troops!

The two took a deep breath, their hands were shaking.

The hands holding the teacup were shaking so much that they had to take a sip of tea to calm themselves down.

Prince Sultan said: "Liu, thank you for telling us this important information. This time, we also hope to buy a batch of arms and supplies from you!"

"Yes, yes, we hope to buy a batch of arms and supplies from you!" Prince Fahd said.

This is also the biggest purpose of their visit to China this time.

Iraq's actions this time have made Saudi Arabia and Kuwait feel a great sense of crisis. Regardless of whether Iraq will start a war or not, they must buy weapons and equipment and supplies to prepare for war, so as not to be caught off guard.

Now that they know that Saddam is determined to launch a war to invade the two countries, they must buy more.

What they lack the least is money!

From the first oil crisis in 1973, oil prices soared, and it has been nearly 20 years since then. In the past 20 years, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, as major oil-producing countries, have made a lot of money by exporting oil.

The money earned, even if only a part of it is taken out, is enough to make Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have social welfare that even Europeans and Americans envy. The royal family and other upper classes of society live luxuriously and are extremely rich.

The two countries not only have a large amount of foreign exchange reserves, but also have a large amount of wealth at home and abroad.

At critical moments, they dare to spend money and dare to use money to smash it!

Prince Fahd took out a few pieces of paper from his bag, then took out a pen, and said, "We need 300 Type 80 main battle tanks, 100 Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, 400 Type 81 medium tanks, and 400 Type 81 light tanks."

Liu Tao's mouth twitched.

Sure enough, it is worthy of being a dog tycoon who can exchange dollars for oil at will. The number he said is shocking.

Prince Fahd almost doubled the original order, and even tripled it in some cases.

It seems that these things don't cost money.

Tanks, armored vehicles, cannons, rockets, anti-aircraft missiles, anti-tank missiles, etc., are not cheap.

"The price is easy to talk about, you can give it as you like. We in Kuwait have only one requirement, which is to provide all weapons and equipment within one month!" Prince Fahd has only one condition, that is, the delivery time.

It's just throwing money at people!

Liu Tao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This dog rich man really made people love and hate him. He would throw money at people at every turn.

Can you not be so rich! ?

He had to admit that Kuwait is rich, really rich!

Just what he knew, Kuwait's assets invested in China were as high as 20 billion US dollars.

The order placed this time was as high as 15 billion US dollars.

All of them are advanced weapons and equipment and bullets and shells, and none of them are backward.

In addition, 5 billion US dollars were spent on materials.

A total of 20 billion US dollars!

Prince Fahd spent 20 billion US dollars without blinking, and even said that as long as it could be delivered within one month, he could pay immediately.

"We in Saudi Arabia will double it on this basis, with only one condition, that is, the delivery time!" Prince Sultan said lightly, making Liu Tao swallow his saliva.

Double the Kuwait's, that is 40 billion US dollars.

This is really inhumane, without blinking an eye.

These are not related to warships and aircraft, because the two countries now need goods in a short time, and there is no time to wait for a long time to deliver.

Liu Tao was a little dizzy, and the huge order made his heart beat fast, which was a bit unbearable!

It's not that I didn't make so much money, I made more money than this.

But this is different, this is not in the financial market, this is in arms and supplies.

Seeing that Prince Sultan and Prince Fahd had bright eyes, although Liu Tao wanted to agree at once, he had to bear the pain and tell the truth.

Honesty is the basis of long-term friendship between friends.

Liu Tao smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness Prince Fahd, Your Highness Prince Sultan, I have to say that your orders are very exciting to me, but as old friends, I have to tell you the truth. One month is too short. Our Panshan Group cannot deliver so many orders."

"As you know, the Iraqis have also placed a large number of orders with us, as well as orders that other customers have to deliver before. Five months, five months at the fastest! There is really no way to do it any faster!" Liu Tao Wry smiles again and again.

When a large order was placed from Iraq, Liu Tao personally came forward to coordinate. Not only the China Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation, but also the China Northern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation was also mobilized. As long as it could be produced, they would give money.

Coupled with the previous cooperation between the two parties, the output is actually not low.

But it still hasn't been fully delivered to Iraq.

Not to mention the big orders from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait!

Five months is already the fastest time Liu Tao estimated. He still has to coordinate with some customers to postpone the delivery of their orders in order to satisfy Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

Otherwise, it will take even longer!

"Five months? That's too long! Can't it be faster?" Prince Sultan frowned, "If Saddam really launches a war, we probably won't be able to last five months!"

Prince Sultan is in charge of the army and is well aware of the combat effectiveness of the Saudi army. He is no match for the Iraqi tiger and wolf army.

Mercenaries were invited to train the Saudi army. As a result, the mercenaries complained that the Saudi soldiers were not even as good as Chinese college students, and the results of Chinese college students' military training for a month were much better than them.

In addition, there were many admirers and supporters of Saddam in the army. Prince Sultan estimated that once the two sides went to the battlefield to fight, these people would turn against each other.

This is why, when the situation became tense before, Saudi Arabia quickly hired more mercenaries. At least the mercenaries would have stronger combat effectiveness and be more reliable.

After five months, Prince Sultan was very pessimistic. Without mercenaries, I am afraid that the Saudi army alone would not be able to survive five months.
