133: Sign another billion-dollar order!

Dragon Country's "BeiDou Program" is truly thoughtful!

After Peng Lin announced the full content of the "BeiDou Program," the Ministry of National Defense conference hall instantly became incredibly lively.

Almost every country's representative discussed with others around them the possibility of deep military cooperation with Dragon Country.

Given the strength of their small and medium-sized countries, it was almost impossible for them to have the ability to build a Global Satellite Navigation System.

And the two Superpowers, the Soviet Union and the USA, for military security, only provided GPS and GLONASS services to their allies within NATO and the Warsaw Pact.

Therefore, in this situation, Dragon Country was the only choice for many small and medium-sized countries around the Global!

Originally, many countries thought that Dragon Country would make exorbitant demands when providing BeiDou services to other countries!

But who knew that Dragon Country not only offered a free trial to the Global first but also provided various support options afterward, including a basic package, an upgrade package, and specialized customization!

At this moment, even the ambassadors of the Soviet Union and the USA were full of admiration for the strategic courage and methods of the leader who proposed this plan for Dragon Country!

Ivanov and Williams were instantly speechless!

And in the Ministry of National Defense conference hall, the most excited at this moment were undoubtedly the ambassadors of Shat Country and Iraq!

When the Saudi Ambassador learned from Peng Lin that Dragon Country would provide BeiDou terminal technology upgrades for all equipment purchased by Shat Country from Dragon Country, at only a cost price, he was so excited that he was almost in tears!

For so many years, when Western powers like the USA, the Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets, Gaul Rooster, and Italy sold military weapons to Shat Country, which country didn't treat Shat Country like a "sucker" to be exploited?

The Ministry of Defense of Shate not only had to pay the highest prices in the Global when purchasing weapons and equipment from these Western powers!

Even many of the military weapons and equipment they bought were discarded items that these countries no longer used!

According to the Saudi Ambassador's habitual thinking, he assumed that if Shat Country wanted to obtain more advanced weapons and equipment from Dragon Country that supported BeiDou services, they would have to pay a higher price and repurchase them.

But he never expected that Dragon Country, even after selling weapons and equipment, still hadn't forgotten about Shat Country!

Now that Dragon Country's military technology has advanced, they are even providing technology upgrades at cost price!

At this moment, the Saudi Ambassador to Dragon Country felt for the first time, from Dragon Country, the feeling of his country being respected by a major military power!

"Buy!"

"Just based on this after-sales service, Shat Country must purchase more advanced Dragon Country weapons and equipment!"

"Furthermore, Shat Country must be among the first to connect to Dragon Country's Beidou Satellite Navigation System!"

The Saudi Ambassador said to several Arab countries representatives around him.

In addition to this, the Ambassador of Iraq to Dragon Country was also particularly excited at this moment.

All along, neither the USA nor the Soviet Union has been willing to see a strong and unified Middle East region.

Therefore, facing Iraq, which has always wanted to be the leader in the Middle East region, the two Superpowers have always adopted an extremely cautious attitude.

They were even less willing to sell advanced weapons and equipment to Iraq.

But now, the Iraqi Ambassador saw hope from Dragon Country!

It is even possible for the Elak Ministry of Defense to engage in deep cooperation with the Dragon Country Military to establish a specialized customized BeiDou service function!

If their country's Army in the Middle East region possesses core functions such as meter-level real-time positioning and navigation, precise firepower coordination, and encrypted anti-jamming short messages, the enhancement of their Army's combat effectiveness will be unimaginable!

...January 17th.

A top-secret assessment report from the USA Embassy in Dragon Country shook the The White House.

The main theme of this report was: Dragon Country's "Spring Thunder-80" Military Exercise and BeiDou System Strategic Threat Assessment!

[Dragon Country showcased its "BeiDou + Combined Arms Brigade" combat system through the "Spring Thunder-80" military exercise on January 16th, and its tactical effectiveness far exceeded expectations!]

[Unilateral Battlefield Transparency: The Heavy Combined Arms Brigade achieved 90-second beyond-visual-range firepower coordination relying on BeiDou, the Light Combined Arms Brigade broke through electronic interference using short messages, and the WZ-10 completed precise low-altitude surprise attacks, demonstrating a "detect and destroy" capability!]

[Technological Breakthrough: The BeiDou System's positioning accuracy reaches 10 meters, integrating a 120-character encrypted short message function, possessing both navigation and tactical communication capabilities, and has formed a complete combat ecosystem!]

[Strategic Expansion: Dragon Country's Defense Minister, Marshal Xu Yong'an, announced a one-year free trial of BeiDou to friendly countries, followed by tiered services (basic positioning/advanced anti-jamming channels), intending to bind Asia-Pacific countries' military systems and expand Asia-Pacific military influence!]

[Recommended Response: Accelerate GPS-III anti-jamming upgrades and develop short message functions.

Unite allies to restrict BeiDou technology proliferation, offer discounted GPS military-grade services to sensitive Asia-Pacific countries such as Japan and South Korea.

Be wary of Dragon Country building regional military alliances through "BeiDou + arms sales"; it is necessary to deploy electronic warfare units in Okinawa for counter-testing!]

This top-secret assessment report from the USA Embassy in Dragon Country instantly made the entire The White House and The Pentagon tense.

While the The White House was still preparing to court Dragon Country, they never expected Dragon Country's military power to have developed to such an extent!

"Perhaps we can no longer treat Dragon Country as a pawn in geopolitical strategic games and competition with the Soviet Union!"

"Instead, we should treat Dragon Country as an opponent and competitor, and take necessary containment measures!"

The White House National Security Affairs Assistant issued a rare warning to the President of the United States!

During the bipolar struggle between the USA and the Soviet Union, Dragon Country was growing at an unimaginable speed!

It even made the two Superpowers unable to ignore Dragon Country's influence any longer!

...At the same time.

Peng Lin and the entire Dragon Country Ministry of National Defense became incredibly busy.

Because starting from January 17th, numerous military representatives from various countries around the Global visited Dragon Country overnight to secretly discuss deep military cooperation matters!

The first to arrive for a secret visit was Prince Khalid, the Defense Minister from the Shatt Royal Family.

On the evening of the 16th, the Saudi Ambassador to Dragon Country urgently contacted the Shatt Royal Family, suggesting that Shat Country immediately sign a BeiDou trial agreement with Dragon Country and prioritize upgrading the Army's equipment with BeiDou terminals!

And hoped that the Ministry of Defense of Shate would introduce heavy, Light Combined Arms Brigades and Army Aviation Brigade construction plans to strengthen the modernization of the Saudi Army's combat capabilities!

After the Shatt Royal Family and the Ministry of Defense of Shate swiftly evaluated the content of Dragon Country's "Spring Thunder-80" military exercise that night, they immediately dispatched Prince Khalid for a secret visit!

Regarding the urgency of the "Beidou Satellite Navigation System," the Shatt Royal Family was even more urgent than Dragon Country!

As early as last year, the Ministry of Defense of Shate reached a military procurement agreement with Dragon Country worth nearly 10 billion US dollars!

This means that once Dragon Country completes the construction of Beidou-2, covering the entire Asia-Pacific region, all the Dragon-style weapons and equipment previously purchased by Shat Country will have the capability to be upgraded and use the BeiDou System!

This, in turn, will lead to an unimaginable improvement in the overall combat effectiveness of the Saudi Army, especially in the precision strike capability of the Guardian Rocket Launcher!

So, this time coming to Dragon Country, Prince Khalid didn't even consider Dragon Country's proposed "BeiDou Free Trial Program"!

Representing the Shatt Royal Family, he directly signed the highest-level "BeiDou Special Customization Program" with Dragon Country!

This was another long-term deep military cooperation agreement totaling nearly 10 billion US dollars:

Firstly, Dragon Country would modify Shat Country's existing Dragon Country equipment, installing BeiDou terminals on Shat Country's purchased Guardian Rocket Launcher, Z-8 helicopters, and other equipment at cost price, to achieve precise positioning and firepower coordination.

Secondly, it was to provide Shat Country with BeiDou advanced authorization services, such as military-grade encrypted channels, theater-level anti-jamming capabilities, and short message extension functions.

Thirdly, it was to conduct localized data system construction in Shat Country, such as building ground augmentation stations in Shat Country to improve positioning accuracy from 10 meters to sub-meter level, meeting high-precision strike requirements.

In addition, key military data storage and processing centers would be located within Shat Country, managed by the Saudi Military, with Dragon Country providing technical maintenance support.

Fourthly, a technology sharing agreement would be signed, such as allowing Shat Country to participate in subsequent BeiDou System upgrade research and development, such as developing a command system with an Arabic interface.

Secondly, Dragon Country would send experts to provide BeiDou operation, tactical application, and maintenance training for the Saudi Army, establishing a local technical team.

Fifthly, both parties would ensure that the cooperation period is not less than ten years, and Shat Country would have priority use of BeiDou System upgrade functions, including Global coverage services after future Global networking.

In addition, Dragon Country needs to conduct "BeiDou + Combined Arms Brigade" actual combat exercises with Shat Country to verify customized functions.

Even to ensure and accelerate the construction speed of Dragon Country's "Beidou Global Satellite Navigation System" and deepen bilateral cooperation, the Ministry of Defense of Shate was willing to provide 3 billion US dollars in financial support upfront!

And, Prince Khalid's visit was just the beginning!
