Chapter 921: The King Wants to Buy Weapons

PS: I was forced to work overtime until half past eight today, and it can only be three shifts. And the gorgeous ones haven't eaten yet......

For these reporters, the security personnel of the Saudi royal family directly stopped them hundreds of meters away from the convoy and forbade all reporters to take pictures.

took Salman in his own car, Cai Ruichen didn't really take Salman to visit the arsenal.

Instead, he took him to the test range of weapons and equipment, where almost all the Red Police weapons and equipment were tested, no matter what army weapons and equipment Salman wanted to see, they could be seen here.

Salman, who came to the shooting range, asked with some surprise: "Mr. Cai, this is the shooting range?" ”

"That's right, there are a lot of factories, look at them one by one, even if you can't see them for ten days, instead of going to see those factories, it's better to appreciate our weapons and equipment first, see what weapons the king likes, and then let's go to the factories to see." Cai Ruichen explained.

As soon as Salman heard this, he immediately understood what Cai Ruichen meant, although he did not directly say that he wanted to buy weapons and equipment from the Future Technology Group, but it was obvious that this young man had understood this.

Otherwise, how could he bring himself to the weapons range, Salman did not refuse, nor did he deny his intention to buy weapons and equipment.

So he said very simply: "I heard that the weapons and equipment of the Future Technology Group have all reached the world-class level, and this time I want to have a good look." ”

"Our weapons and equipment research and development are all aimed at meeting the needs of the battlefield. The most adaptable is the environment here in the Middle East, disturbing the desert climate. Cai Ruichen gave a brief introduction. He immediately asked, "I don't know what type of weapons and equipment the king wants to see first?" ”

"Tanks." Salman said very simply, when he came to this shooting range that was obviously land equipment, he naturally wanted to see the most powerful land combat equipment.

"At present, the Future Technology Group has two mass-produced tanks, one is the Rhino main battle tank, I believe the king is no stranger, this tank is the main equipment of the land war against ISIS. The other tank is the Grizzly Main Battle Tank, a medium tank specially developed for rapid reaction. It can accompany paratroopers to parachute in hot spots and achieve long-range rapid airdrop deployment.

And this Grizzly main battle tank is currently only in small batches of equipment in the Israeli airborne brigade. It has not yet been officially sold to the outside world, but ordinary countries cannot afford to buy and use such equipment, after all, if it is used for a simple ground attack, such a tank is not suitable for most countries. Its real role is to be supported by strong air freight capabilities. ”

Cai Ruichen is in the process of explaining. The staff of the shooting range had already driven a grizzly bear and a rhino tank to the front of the shooting range observation room.

In the explanation, Cai Ruichen also observed that Salman's main focus was on the rhinoceros tank.

Obviously, the larger, more powerful-looking Rhino Tank was more to the king's taste.

Cai Ruichen was not surprised at all. Saudi Arabia's current air force does not have one in ten, and I am afraid that there are not many transport planes left.

And in the Saudi troops. There is only one brigade-sized airborne force, but now I am afraid that this brigade can only be used as a ground force.

There is not much point in buying Grizzly tanks, unless the Saudis have to come up with a sum of money to buy transport planes that can fit into Grizzly tanks, it is all nonsense.

It's just that Cai Ruichen can also see that Salman's appearance when he looks at the Rhino Tank is obviously not very eager.

To be honest, the ordinary Rhino tank, although it is also a very good main battle tank, does not have much advantage over the world's top third-generation and a half main battle tanks.

The thickness of the armor is also difficult to resist those anti-tank missiles, even if there is explosive reactive armor, but at most it is to give the crew members a little more time to escape.

Its defense and technical level, that is, similar to the American M1A1 tank, has not yet reached the level of M1A2.

For Saudi Arabia, which has always used American and German tanks, it is still barely acceptable if it can be equipped with this tank in large quantities in a short period of time.

But it is clear that technically, the Saudi king, who has always pursued advanced weapons and equipment, is a little inferior to the ordinary level of the Rhino main battle tank.

"If you want to buy this Rhino main battle tank, how many can you provide in a short period of time?" Salman asked, thinking for a moment.

Sure enough, everything is the same as Cai Ruichen thought, but now he has a draft, and said: "Rhino tank, at present, we have to give priority to Iraq's orders, which can only be supplied to the Iraqi government army first, and if a third party buys it, it needs to be queued at least one year later." ”

Hearing Cai Ruichen's words, Salman was even more disappointed, but what made him a little incomprehensible was that the Iraqi government army was now equipped with a lot of Rhino tanks, and the scale of the armored forces was expanding every day, and he still needed to buy this tank.

"Does the Iraqi government have the money to buy more tanks?" Salman asked, skeptically.

"At present, the Iraqi government army has been equipped with 1,600 Rhino main battle tanks, and in the next year, we will provide the Iraqi government with 800 Rhino main battle tanks, and we will also do things according to the contract, and the Iraqi government has already paid this fee with a loan."

"How did you sell this tank?" When Salman heard this, he could only shake his head, but he was still a little unwilling and continued to ask.

"The unit price of the Rhino tank is $2.8 million, and all the additional equipment is calculated separately." Cai Ruichen said very directly.

As soon as he heard such a cheap price, Salman was somewhat surprised, the price of a single tank of German tanks and American tanks purchased by Saudi Arabia has always been less than five million dollars.

Originally, in his opinion, this rhinoceros tank should not be very cheap, and he was ready to be slaughtered by Cai Ruichen, but he didn't expect that Cai Ruichen didn't mean to kill customers at all.

"If I increase the price by 30 percent, can you provide me with 400 Rhino main battle tanks in a short period of time?" Salman said decisively.

"I am a businessman, not to mention that Future Technology Group is a company registered with the Iraqi government, and I also need to be responsible for Iraq."

Cai Ruichen shook his head, if he could provide equipment to Salman immediately, where would he need to waste so much tongue, but he didn't block the road, but immediately said: "There is no way to use the rhinoceros tank, but we happen to have a more powerful main battle tank, I believe it will definitely make you very satisfied."
