Of course not!
You’ve finished the game in the Chinese mind! For example, China still has the right to use the exported East Wind missile.
Since the 1970s, the Middle East has been a powder barrel.
The simple reason is that the land is rich in enormous wealth — an amazing amount of oil.
The largest of these beneficiaries was Saudi Arabia, where not only was the world’s number one reserve at that time, but mining was very easy.
The dollar goes down like a spring… and, uh, no, oil comes out like a spring.
Its mining costs are among the lowest in the world ‘ s oil-producing countries, at $2 per barrel. It’s like lying down and getting paid.
Security is the first consideration when people have money, and the situation in the Middle East is not a distraction!
The first was Israel, which had fought with the Arab countries in the 1970s, and each time had won a great victory, and the kings, who were so angry with the headscarves, had their beards on their faces.
Then, when the war between Iran and Iraq began again in 80 years, the fire broke out between the two sides, and the Iraqi bearded venomist went on his way to find his Arab brother for three days.
It would have been okay to spend some money, but the dog had a comfortable day in Saudi Arabia and was worried that he would sooner or later be dragged down by the beard and caught in the mud of the Iran-Iraq war.
Theoretically, Saudi Arabia is an ally of the United States in the Middle East, and there should be no problem with US endorsement of security;
The United States, however, has more than one ally in the Middle East, and is also an ally of the United States to Israel.
To pull the finger, the dog has more money than Israel in any political, economic, financial or other way.
In the face of the double threat from Israel and Iran, the dog family, despite the fact that in the 1980s the money was so popular, has long been caught in a deep sense of insecurity.
There is only one way to solve this problem — with a powerful weapon, a “weapons that must be measured before attacking us” (in the words of King Saudi Fahd at the time).
In the absence of nuclear political conditions, medium-range missiles with a high distance are the only option.
1 Test
In 1985, Saudis offered to the United States the purchase of “Snips” ballistic missiles, a tactical missile with a range of 120 kilometres.
Americans don’t sell!
This, of course, is a bloody Israeli obstruction.
And there were only three — the United States, the Soviet Union, China.
If the United States does not sell, the Soviet Union is an ally against Iran.
I can’t help but think of China, this mysterious Eastland!
Prince Bandar, Ambassador of Saudi Arabia to the United States of America, in 1986, visited China in secret with his veiled princess, suggesting that you would sell the East Wind missile to us?
To be honest, theoretically, that’s not a good idea!
At that time, Saudi Arabia had not formally engaged with us, and there was international recognition of Taiwan’s National Party regime (which was also a United States swindle).
A friend of our enemy offered to buy our best strategic weapon!
Is that possible?
So Prince Bandar himself had little hope.
However, a miracle has appeared!
The Chinese responded with joy: “In principle, we agree to sell the East Wind missile.” I’m sorry.
Prince Bandalton was as happy as he was won.
Why would China want to sell East Wind missiles to the dogs?
Two reasons.
First, the dog family had money, very, very money; and we were short, very, very short.
The dog family had little to explain, but said that China was in financial distress at the time.
At that time, we were in the midst of a period of reform and opening-up, a period of structural transformation of the economy and a critical period of transition from heavy to light industries in the process of industrialization, with almost serious thirst for finance and resources.
This is how one of the jokes describes the department responsible for coordinating the country’s economic development, called the National Planning Commission, whose leadership was close to a brand in front of the agency — China could never develop the cans, air conditioning, leather industry on a large scale!
This is because these three industries consume large amounts of electrolytic aluminium, coal and food.
Only 20 years later, electrolyte aluminium and coal became a major surplus industry, which the then NPC leadership had never dreamed of.
The economic development of China in recent decades has indeed been a miracle.
In 1987, the country had only $2 billion in foreign exchange reserves, and now it’s big dogs that could be a multi-billion-dollar business.
Without a military statement, the Ministry of Finance would be the first to agree.
Secondly, the Middle East is a superfat, and we very much want to strengthen our influence in the region.
It is difficult to achieve that goal in the ordinary way, limited to the power of the time.
And the “conditional” sale of the dog’s Big East Wind missile is such a very important piece of chess.
At that time, our leaders were far-sighted and the arms business had deep strategic intentions.
The intention was reached, and the details are discussed below.
2 Negotiations
Since the start of the formal negotiations, and out of a desire for the East Wind missile, the rich and rich dogs have never thought of negotiating!
There’s a story like that…
Our negotiator is snarling out a finger and wondering if it’s too dark for 10 million dollars!
I didn’t expect the dog to hit the table: “100 million dollars, one piece! It’s a deal! We can pay in cash!”
Our negotiator almost fainted on the spot. 35 missiles are $3.5 billion!
It’s $3.5 billion in ’87! It’s like a giant pie falling from the sky…
This is certainly not credible, and $3.5 billion was a huge sum at that time, but it was reasonable.
The East Wind missile is a strategic weapon, and the real weight of the nation is not generally available for money.
The possession of this weapon would essentially affect the military balance of the entire Middle East region.
Can a dog take such a big influence?
Of course not!
China therefore makes a very “heavy” request on key articles:
I sell you the missile, the base building, the day-to-day maintenance, but there’s one — the launch key — that we have to control.
In other words, to use an east wind missile, the dog must have our consent.
I’m not stupid, but I spend so much money and I can’t have full access to weapons!
What is this? I spent billions of dollars asking the Chinese to deploy missiles on my land?
Isn’t that a big deal?
The negotiations are at an impasse.
At this point, the military came up with a “good move.”
Imagine, if you’re a salesman for a limited-end limo, and a dirtman does like it, but the price of this car goes far beyond what a dirtman would expect, then how do we get a dirtman to pay for this?
Try it! It’s the best way!
The same applies to the arms business.
When the formal negotiations were deadlocked, the military carefully arranged a tour of the dog-to-wind missile.
One day in 1987, a low-profile but heavily armed convoy arrived at a strategic missile base.
Although the Base’s troops had been informed in advance of the visit of important guests today, they were surprised to see them.
He’s a bunch of foreigners with a beard!
China’s most mysterious missile base hosts foreigners! It’s very rare at the base.
When a prince sees a large and long East wind missile with a range of 2,500 kilometres coming out of a cave and simulates the launch process, he almost loses his heart.
The spear is nothing! East Wind is the most popular of all!
The 2,500 km range, unstoppable, is a real one-way long-range fire strike.
Don’t call Iran Israel, the Soviet Union India is within range!
If you press the button, you can enjoy the target’s fireworks show – East Wind Express, the mission is complete!
At the time, the Chinese missile base was under 24-hour United States military satellite watch, and the fact that the Middle Easters with their beards in their regular surveillance photos made the United States nervous.
The Iranians were initially suspected — and this was an extraordinary event — and it was only after a repeated comparison of the photographs that Prince Sirtan, the chief of the dog’s air defence unit, was discovered.
That is why the United States has given up its heart and maintained its ambiguous silence.
With the “test-and-drive” experience, our negotiators are following the example of how to lead the dog:
“Why would we sell you the East Wind missile?
It is because we have always supported the cause of the liberation of the Arab peoples, and in order to protect your security, that we do not want a State to acquire such a weapon in the Middle East region, undermining its military balance.
That is why we insist on the final decision on the use of this weapon.
The most important thing in possession of this weapon is deterrence, not use!
Of course, if other countries invade you, we will not deny your request to use this weapon;
In addition, we must obtain our consent for the use of this weapon against other States!
This is an intercontinental missile with a range of 2,500 kilometres! What if you throw it in Soviet territory? Who’s gonna take the responsibility?
— We are also a permanent member of the United Nations and have an inescapable responsibility for peace in the Middle East region and throughout the world. I’m sorry.
Well, that’s completely my own imagination, and it’s certainly not true history.
Let’s just take it as a note. The dog’s family agreed to this harsh rule.
Of course dogs have their own plans.
The agreement with China was to purchase the East Wind missile, which China had dismantled and customized for sale to the dogs.
If China controls the launch key — and sooner or later the countries surrounding this information will know — then these countries will be suspicious. Is it possible that there are several special warheads for mushrooms?
If it was a conventional warhead, why would China control the launch key and why would the dog family agree to such a harsh provision?
That’s the best guess for a dog! East Wind Missile + suspected mushroom warheads – the dog’s home is as secure as Tarzan!
So, it’s true that there was a version of it.
Four of China’s 35 missiles sold to the dog’s family, a special mushroom warhead, are enough to wipe Israel off the map, for which the dog’s family is required to pay $320 million a year in special charges to a secret account in Hong Kong.
Of course, it would cost more than $3.5 billion to use a mushroom warhead, not only to pay China, but also to compensate Pakistan, because the baron is also a nuclear country, and there is a rumor that using a mushroom warhead would ultimately prepare the baronet to take over.
Those passing versions had far-reaching implications for the subsequent situation in the Middle East.
3 Delivery
Following the signing of the agreement, the goods were to be delivered and there was a problem with the delivery process.
It was shipped by sea to Saudi Arabia along the Indian Ocean.
When we got out of the sea, the U.S. warships on board the F-14s came up, hung the flotilla all the way to the Western Indian Ocean, and even American carriers followed.
At that time, our naval forces were weak, and in the Indian Ocean, mainly under Pakistani air force escorts (in the name of exercises), the dog family had only one of the prince’s yachts to protect itself from the ship, and the prince stood on it every day.
After the Western Indian Ocean was supposed to have been replaced by the Saudi Air Force, there was a few minutes of space between the Saudi Air Force and the Pakistani Air Force!
The U.S. warship aircraft F14 was attached at once, and the U.S. air carrier was approaching, and a Indian warship was coming up at a distance, and a reinforced company (a single-man anti-aircraft missile platoon, an anti-aircraft gun platoon) escorted by a ship began to install explosives around the ship, preparing to fight — and it was good that the Saudi Air Force arrived very soon and escorted the ship to Saudi Arabia.
Upon arrival in Saudi Arabia, it was mainly deployed at two bases.
One at Suleil, 560 kilometres south-west of the Saudi capital, Riyadh, and one at Olei.
The construction of the base, its security and the practical operation of the missiles are the responsibility of the Chinese military, all of which are drawn from active forces and are known as the Golden Wheel Engineering Company.
In 1988, the Washington Post of the United States suddenly and exclusively reported this unusual military sale between China and Saudi Arabia, which consisted of an East Wind missile with a range of 2,800 kilometres.
On 6 April, China’s Central Television suddenly broadcast an important news story, in which the then Foreign Minister, Wu Xue-Kyeong, stated to the outside world that “at the request of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, my Government has sold some non-nuclear-conventional surface missiles”.
The heavyweight of a country needs to be activated to maximize its value.
After China voluntarily admitted to the sale, the world exploded.
A senior Israeli official first stated that a pre-emptive strike would be carried out against Saudi missile bases.
Under Israeli pressure, the U.S. government has also put a lot of pressure on Saudi Arabia by pretending to act.
United States President Reagan recalled the United States Ambassador to Saudi Arabia at one time, even after he had proposed to inspect the East Wind missile, which had arrived in Saudi Arabia.
However, soon there was an extraordinary shift in the attitude of the United States Government, from past accusations of military sales between China and the sand to denigration of East Wind missiles.
The United States Government claims that the missile fleet is a flawed East Wind — 3, not only that conventional warheads have limited power and poor precision, etc.
The reason for the change in the attitude of the United States is the secret agreement with China — in exchange for China’s adherence to the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) established under the leadership of the United States — at the expense of the recognition of the Sino-Sino arms trade.
The main element of the 1987 agreement between the seven Western countries, led by the United States, on foreign military sales is the prohibition of foreign military sales of ballistic missiles with a range of 300 kilometres and a payload of 500 kilograms.
Subsequently, Chinese foreign military sales complied strictly with the standards of the regime, and all foreign sales of ballistic missiles did not exceed 300 kilometres in range.
(Uh, of course, if the client offers a generous offer, some missiles will reserve “upgrading” space, and if the client “upgrades” the range beyond 300 kilometres, it has nothing to do with us. I’m not sure.
4 Value
Once the missile was deployed, the value was quickly demonstrated.
It has to be said that two years after the deployment of the East Wind missile, in August 1990, 100,000 bearded troops invaded Kuwait, after which the moustache mechanized forces forced the eastern border of the dog to storm the Middle East to take Saudi Arabia.
When the dog’s home is in danger,
The East Wind Express acts as a sea needle.
During the Gulf War, one of the two artillery units in Saudi Arabia behaved well and was recognized by the Central Military Commission for its collective first-class work!
It is common knowledge that in peacetime, first-class work is a very rare honour in the army — in most cases, only a very prominent expression, and it is possible to claim it as a “herd”! Why, then, can a two-barrel force get first-class work just by “settling, showing off”?
The only explanation for this is that the country has gained a great deal of benefit by being “silent and performing well”.
The following text is a mere personal misperception that is completely inconsistent with the true history of history.
Dialogue between a prince and an officer.
Prince X: Now that the situation is very urgent and the bearded armored division has arrived at our eastern border, we need a strong response to allow the beard to put an end to the aggression against our country.
Officer: What do we need?
Prince: On behalf of the King, I solemnly request you to pull out the missile immediately and prepare it for launch — of course, it is only a gesture to inform the beard of our determination to defend our country. We will broadcast publicly on official television the images of missiles ready for launch. If you cooperate with us, we would be grateful and willing to pay an additional fee.
The officer who can be the head of the special forces abroad is naturally not an ordinary person — the political certainty is that there is no need to say, the key is a flexible mind.
Now the dogs are desperate to use the missiles as a life-saving straw, and the officers will certainly not give up this perfect opportunity.
Officer: I am sorry, Your Highness, to pull out the missile and prepare it for launch — I have no authority to do so — and I must have clear orders from my superiors to do so.
Prince: Then ask your superiors! I can also make direct contact with General X. We have to use missiles to defend our country.
Officer: I can call my superiors immediately. However, it is estimated that the possibility of superior consent is low.
Prince: Why?
Officers: In accordance with the agreement between us, unless your country is subjected to aggression from another country, the launching of missiles into another country requires the consent of my country. The situation in the Middle East is very complex, and I am sure that the central authorities will not authorize the launching of missiles into another country.
The Prince is furious: we are now in danger of aggression! We are not asking you to launch a missile, but to prepare for it!
Officer: Preparing to launch means we have given up our neutral position! The beard is also a friendly country of my country, and we have provided it with a great deal of military equipment. If we target the beard with a missile, it will seriously damage our relationship with the beard, which means that we will pay a great price!
Cost? The Prince was horrified.
You have a secret agreement with the beard? The Prince asked the questions.
Officers are silent.
You promised not to launch a missile at a beard before our country was directly invaded, in exchange for a moustache to buy large numbers of troops in your country?
Press: From the Iran-Iraq war to the Gulf war, the bearded army procured a large number of rabbits ‘ military equipment, including tanks, armoured vehicles, artillery, missiles, etc.
Officers remain silent.
The Prince suddenly laughed: nothing can be traded for business. Now we need you to pull the missile out and get ready for launch. And let our television stations report publicly that the moustache will put an end to the invasion of my country — that’s all.
Officer: I have to ask my superiors.
Prince Nod: Please hurry.
When they were little, the officers responded to the Prince: X billion dollars.
The Prince didn’t even think, “Sold.”
Soon, a large sum went into a secret account in Hong Kong.
The Suleil base and the Oleye base then got up like a beehive, and 35 East Wind missiles were pulled out of the hole in Curry and one was taken to the launch base and placed on the launcher with a stand-by posture.
In one of the luxurious residences in Baghdad, the moustache watched the dog’s official television coverage, thinking about the target of the missile and the rumored mushrooms. The warhead’s mustache swallowed a saliva and stopped the armoured units that had moved to the dog’s home border and prepared to attack.
The boss of the dog’s house is so relieved.
A cold sweat was rubbed by a general of the rabbits far from the east: it was a dangerous situation.
The Saudis are doing well.
So, is it just a simple military business that China sells to the Dog Dynasty?
Of course not!
Because of this final decision, this is, in a sense, China’s deployed strategic missiles in Saudi Arabia!
5 Follow-up
This trade in arms with economic and strategic interests is difficult to replicate in other countries.
First, the sellers are limited, and only the three of Central America and the United States are able to produce strategic weapons; second, the buyers are rich and have low claims — they require only minimum security guarantees and are even willing to give up the final decision.
The most wonderful thing is that the only United States that has the capacity to block this business is obscurantist in its attitude for various reasons.
It cannot be overstretched that the Chinese leaders at the time were too capable to seize this momentous strategic opportunity.
Since then, China ‘ s voice in Middle East affairs has become more and more effective and has initially acquired the capacity to share a piece of the deal.
During the second Gulf War, China abstained in the vote on the United Nations proposal to authorize the use of force against Iraq, but after the war China obtained mining rights for two major oil fields (one of which was Iraq’s second largest oil field).
That is the weight of the United Nations Security Council permanent member + East Wind missile.
In 1994, the big dog bought 120 East Wind missiles from China again.
In 1999, an agreement was signed between Israel and China to transfer to China the then state-of-the-art early warning machine, Ferkan.
As a result of United States obstruction, Israel was finally forced to cancel the deal.
Prior to the cancellation of the deal, Chinese technicians had received technical training from Israel and even received the core technology of the “Felcon” radar early warning system. Last but not “Felcon” type.
For this reason, Israel not only returned $190 million paid by China, but also paid $160 million in default.
This is equivalent to a dollar-free business in China that received $160 million plus the core technology of the “Felcon” radar early warning system.
A few years later, the China Electronics Group developed something like this. Faircon’s on-board early warning radar, which finally launched our own early warning machine, Air Force 2000.
Why does China get such an advantage?
The Eastern Wind missile deployed in Saudi Arabia! It’s the final decision to deploy the Eastern Saudi East Wind missile!
East Wind Express, the mission is complete!
That’s the basis of our truth!
By: Part of the above is taken from the memory of the current Saudi National Defence Force Director-General, Prince Sirtan.
