149: Chapter 149: This wave from China is about exporting its military standards!
As soon as Crown Prince Salman finished speaking, the various crown princes of the Camel Countries scrambled to speak up, one saying they wanted 10 sets, another saying 20, fully displaying the extravagant flair of the nouveau riche, leaving the defense ministers of the Western Alliance developed nations completely dumbfounded.
Was it really necessary to scramble to buy these weapons and equipment that were clearly behind the times?
Couldn't they unite and demand that China sell the Exoskeleton Armor separately?
They had seen rich people before, but never ones so eager to throw their money away!
"Chief Li, what do you think?"
"We are all straightforward people; I pay, and you deliver!"
"If you agree, I will send over those idiot commanders from Arabia tomorrow!"
Crown Prince Salman's face was full of excitement, his eyes radiating a longing glow.
He was not only a crown prince but also held the position of defense minister for Arabia.
Just a moment ago, while reading through the manual, Crown Prince Salman had quickly captured the key phrase—'Customized Officer Training'!
Seeing this, Crown Prince Salman exclaimed that it was impossible, doubting if he had misread it!
China's custom packages didn't just customize land army equipment; they even helped customize and train commanders?
For this reason, Crown Prince Salman specifically had his personal translator confirm it word for word. After confirming it was correct, he was ecstatic, almost reaching a state of mental climax!
Dear Chief Li, you really understand us Camel Countries so damn well!
It was no wonder Crown Prince Salman was so emotional. Ordinary people could not imagine how difficult it was for the Camel Countries, with their lack of established military-industrial systems, to possess a complete, modernized combined arms combat force!
Before this, due to the deliberate control of Eagle Sauce, the Camel Countries had absolutely no opportunity to purchase combined arms system equipment. They could only buy individual weapons and equipment, and in that way, it was impossible to form effective combat capabilities.
Thinking back to that incident three years ago, Crown Prince Salman truly felt hatred!
In 2009, Arabia had spent a huge sum to purchase twenty MA1 main battle tanks from Eagle Sauce. At first, Crown Prince Salman was full of pride, thinking the advantage was with him and that this wave was invincible!
Consequently, a high-spirited Crown Prince Salman invited Russia to conduct a joint live-fire exercise, and Russia happily agreed.
Not long after, Crown Prince Salman suddenly discovered where the problem lay.
The military command, logistics, air defense, and communications of the Arabian land army were simply a disaster. These epoch-making Eagle-style main battle tanks simply could not unleash their power!
Sure enough, in the subsequent joint live-fire exercise with Russia, those seemingly badass Eagle-style main battle tanks, before they could even play any role, had their tops blown off by Russia's suicide drones. Crown Prince Salman was so angry that he stewed the eagle he had raised for several years on the spot to vent his hatred!
It was also after this incident that Crown Prince Salman swore he would absolutely not foolishly go to buy those single-type weapons and equipment from Eagle Sauce again. Even if they had more money, they couldn't spend it in vain!
And ever since that crushing defeat in the exercise, Crown Prince Salman had a dream: to let Arabia truly possess a modernized land army combined arms combat force!
And now, right here in China, the opportunity to fulfill that dream had arrived!
As long as you were willing to pay, China could not only package and send the complete combined arms combat system equipment to your home, but also help you train officers hand-in-hand, ensuring you possessed actual combat capabilities in a short period of time—honesty guaranteed!
What was this called? This was simply holding a spoon and feeding you bite by bite, and even using a tissue to wipe your mouth afterward!
Moreover, this package also included 5 sets of the currently acclaimed "King of Land Warfare" Individual Exoskeleton Armor, which was also the individual combat equipment that excited Crown Prince Salman the most. Since that was the case, what more could he ask for?
"Buy it! Buy it! Buy it!" Crown Prince Salman roared in his heart again.
On the stage, being stared at fixedly by Crown Prince Salman's naked, fiery gaze, General Li Jingwu spread his hands and said helplessly.
"Crown Prince Salman, I know you are in a rush, but don't be so anxious just yet."
"This time, we have only prepared 50 ready-to-ship 'Dragon Fighting in the Wild' packages in total,"
"If your Arabia corners most of them, will other countries even be able to buy any?"
What? Only 50 sets? As soon as these words were spoken, the various crown princes of the Camel Countries could no longer sit still. They all stood up and shouted anxiously.
"I don't care about the other Camel Countries, but we, the UAE Camel, must have 20 sets!"
"Bullshit!"
"Even if we don't buy 30 sets, Arabia must at least be given 28!"
"Your mother is the one talking bullshit!"
"We, the Kuwaiti Camel, are strategic partners with China; we must secure the purchasing rights for 20 sets!"
"It's your mother who is talking bullshit!"
"We, the Qatari Camel, are the truest brothers with China; today, priority must be given to us for 20 sets!"
"..."
In the second row of seats, Wallace watched as the crown princes of the Camel Countries argued until they were red in the face, almost climbing onto the tables to grapple with each other, his expression extremely complex.
This time, China's momentum was truly unstoppable!
Ordinary people might overlook it, but as the Defense Minister of the United Kingdom, Wallace could naturally think of the true intention behind China creating this customized military equipment package, which was to export military standards!
There is a saying: third-rate companies sell products, second-rate companies sell brands, and first-rate companies sell standards.
China playing around with custom packages had the fundamental purpose of exporting China's military standards!
And the most helpless part was that other countries had to accept this Chinese standard!
Because China had used the packages to bundle the Individual Exoskeleton Armor that everyone was most eager to buy with other military equipment!
You want it, right? Then buy the whole package!
After buying it, you need to maintain it, right? You need to repair it if there's an accident, right? You need to buy more when you run out of ammunition, right?
Heh, as long as you buy the package, unless you are willing to grit your teeth and throw all these Chinese equipment into the armory as scrap, otherwise, all subsequent maintenance, repairs, ammunition resupply, technical guidance, and so on for these weapons would all require you to turn to China!
The costs involved in this were definitely not just the money spent at the time of purchase; most importantly, it meant having the lifeline of one's own military power controlled by China!
And before this, these were all strictly controlled by Eagle Sauce; they belonged to the areas that Eagle Sauce cared about the most—the kind where whoever touches them dies!
To put it more bluntly, this move by China was simply digging the grave of Eagle Sauce's hegemony in front of all nations!
Wallace took a deep breath. He had a premonition—a strong premonition that World War III was about to break out on Blue Star!
Just two days ago, the escort incident had just broken out, and now there was this open export of military standards. Being repeatedly ridden in the face by China, how could Eagle Sauce possibly swallow its anger with its temper?
It would inevitably spare no effort and use all means to suppress China's rise!
