Vol 3 Chapter 921: The king wants to buy weapons

For these reporters, the security personnel of the Saudi royal family directly stopped them hundreds of meters away from the convoy and prohibited all reporters from taking pictures.
Taking Salman in his own car, Cai Ruichen did not actually take Salman to visit the arsenal.
Instead, he took him to the test range of weapons and equipment. Almost all the Red Police weapons and equipment were tested here. No matter what Army weapons and equipment Salman wanted to watch, they could be seen here.
Salman, who came to the shooting range, asked somewhat unexpectedly: "Mr. Cai, is this the shooting range?"
"Yes, there are many factories, one by one, even if you look at them for ten days, you can't finish it. Instead of going to see those factories, it is better to admire our weapons and equipment and see what weapons the king likes. Then we will go to the factories to see. Look." Cai Ruichen explained.
As soon as Salman heard it, he immediately understood what Cai Ruichen meant. Although he did not directly say that he wanted to buy the weapons and equipment of the Future Technology Group, it was obvious that this young man had understood this.
Otherwise, how could he bring himself to the weapon range? Salman did not refuse, nor denied his intention to purchase weapons and equipment.
So he said simply: "I heard that all the weapons and equipment of the Future Technology Group have reached the world-class level, this time I have to take a good look."
"Our weaponry and equipment research and development are all designed to meet the needs of the battlefield. The most adaptable is the environment here in the Middle East and the interfering desert climate." Cai Ruichen gave a brief introduction and immediately asked: "I don't know what the king wants. What kind of weaponry should you look at first?"
"Tank." Salman said very simply. When he came to this obviously land-based shooting range, he naturally looked at the most powerful land combat equipment.
"At present, Future Technology Group has two mass-produced tanks, one is the Rhino main battle tank, I believe the king is no stranger to it. This tank is the main land warfare equipment against ISIS. The other tank is the Grizzly main battle tank. The tank is a medium-sized tank specially developed for rapid response. It can accompany the paratroopers to parachute down in hotspots and achieve the ability of long-range and rapid airdrop deployment.
And this grizzly main battle tank. At present, it is only a small batch of equipment in the Israeli Airborne Brigade, which has not been officially sold to the outside world. However, the average country cannot afford and cannot afford to use such equipment. After all, if it is used for pure ground attack, such a tank will not Not suitable for most countries. Its real role is to need a strong air transport capacity to support. "
While Cai Ruichen was explaining, the staff at the shooting range had already driven a grizzly bear and a rhino tank to the front of the observation room of the shooting range.
In the explanation, Cai Ruichen also observed that Salman's main eyes were all on the rhino tank.
Obviously, the bigger and more mighty rhino tank fits the taste of this king.
Cai Ruichen didn't feel surprised at all about this. Saudi Arabia currently has no one in the air force. There are probably not a few transport planes left.
In the Saudi army, there is only one brigade-level airborne unit, but now I am afraid this brigade can only be used as a ground force.
It doesn't make much sense to buy a grizzly tank, unless Saudi Arabia has to spend a sum of money to buy a transport plane that can be loaded into the grizzly tank, otherwise it will be nothing.
However, Cai Ruichen can also see the way Salman looked when he looked at the rhino tank. Obviously not very eager.
To be honest, the ordinary Rhino tank, although it can be regarded as a very good main battle tank, is compared with the truly top three-generation semi-main battle tanks in the world. It really doesn't have much advantage.
The thickness of the armor makes it difficult to withstand those anti-tank missiles. Even with explosive-reactive armor, at most it will give the crew members more time to escape.
Its defensive power and technical level, which 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. If this tank can be equipped in a large amount in a short time, it is still acceptable.
But it is clear that from a technical point of view, the Saudi King, who has been pursuing advanced weapons and equipment, is somewhat despised by the ordinary Rhino main battle tank.
"If you want to buy this Rhino main battle tank, how many can you provide in a short time?" Salman thought for a while and asked.
Sure enough, everything is the same as Cai Ruichen thought. However, he now has a draft and said: "Rhino tanks, currently we have to give priority to Iraq’s orders. We can only supply them to the Iraqi government forces first. There are third parties. If you buy, you need to be at least one year later."
Hearing Cai Ruichen’s words, Salman was even more disappointed, but what made him a little hard to understand is that the Iraqi government forces are now equipped with a lot of rhino tanks, and the size of the armored force is expanding every day, so it still needs Buy this tank.
"Does the Iraqi government have the money to buy more tanks?" Salman asked suspiciously.
"At present, the Iraqi government forces have equipped 1,600 rhino main battle tanks, and in the next year, we will provide the Iraqi government with 800 rhino main battle tanks. We are also in accordance with the contract. For things, the Iraqi government has already paid this fee with a loan."
"How is this tank sold?" Salman could only shook his head when he heard this, but he was still a little unwilling ~EbookFREE.me~ to continue asking.
"The unit price of the Rhino Tank is 2.8 million U.S. dollars, and all additional equipment is counted separately." Cai Ruichen said directly.
When I heard of such a cheap price, Salman had some surprises. The German tanks and American tanks purchased by Saudi Arabia have always cost no less than five million US dollars per tank.
Originally, in his opinion, this rhino tank should not be very cheap. He was ready to be slaughtered by Cai Ruichen, but he did not expect that Cai Ruichen did not intend to slaughter customers at all.
"I will increase the price by 30%. Can you provide me with 400 Rhino main battle tanks in a short 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 to Iraq."
Cai Ruichen shook his head. If he could provide equipment to Salman immediately, there would still be so much to waste, but he did not block the road, but immediately said: "There is no way for the rhino tank, but we happen to have one. A more powerful main battle tank, I believe it will make you very satisfied with the king.
