Friends are friends, business is business, there is no conflict between the two.

Originally, Xia Yang planned to hang out with Nawaf for a week.

Unexpectedly, Nawaf didn't wait for three days and came to the door again.

At this time, it can be seen that Xia Yang regards Nawaf as a friend.

If we were talking about business normally, seeing how eager Nawaf was, he would definitely push the envelope and raise the price, but Xia Yang did not, and the conditions for Nawaf were still planned.

There is no need for Nawaf to invest money in research and development. He only needs to pay a 30% deposit upfront. Since the artillery and air defense radar vehicles have not yet been developed, the price is still uncertain, so Nawaf needs to pay a deposit of US$500 million first.

There's no way around it. Large-caliber self-propelled artillery is about the same price as a main battle tank, so it's not too expensive.

Prices range from several million dollars to tens of millions of dollars per car.

But air defense radar vehicles or missile air defense systems are extremely expensive.

Because air defense radars are now more complex and systematic, of course the corresponding functions are more powerful.

Usually a missile defense system consists of an interceptor missile launcher vehicle, a radar vehicle, a control and command vehicle, a power supply vehicle, etc. The large and small equipment must be loaded on at least a few large trucks.

The Patriot missile air defense system of the United States, the Ross S400 missile air defense system, etc. are all well-known air defense missile systems that can detect and intercept medium and long-range aircraft missiles and other flying targets.

Ross's S400 is even more powerful, capable of intercepting flying targets at short, medium and long ranges ranging from hundreds of kilometers to several kilometers.

Therefore, the value is high. For example, the Ross S400 radar missile air defense system was sold to Turkey in 2017 for nearly 600 million US dollars each.

The delivery time is tentatively scheduled for one year.

Because of the foundation of the Iron Dome air defense system, developing a land-based air defense missile system can save a lot of time.

Nawaf readily accepted Xia Yang's request.

What happened next was exactly as Xia Yang expected.

Nawaf's requirements for self-propelled artillery and anti-aircraft missile systems are very high.

It is not known where Nawaf got the confidential information.

The requirements for self-propelled artillery are almost based on the performance parameters of the German 155mm pzh2000 self-propelled howitzer.

As for this self-propelled howitzer, Xia Yang remembered that Delan had just successfully developed it and was still testing and improving it.

But if it can be favored by Nawaf, its performance and power are naturally very outstanding.

In fact, the pzh2000 self-propelled howitzer is a very famous self-propelled howitzer and will be purchased by many countries in the future.

The pzh2000 self-propelled howitzer directly uses the Leopard 2 tank chassis, with a total weight of 55 tons, a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, and a maximum range of 400 kilometers.

It sounds similar to the Leopard 2 tank, but the difference is that the PZH2000 self-propelled howitzer has a very high range, with a maximum range of up to 40 kilometers. Moreover, due to its very high degree of automation and automatic loading, it can fire eight rounds per minute at extremely high speeds.

It is so powerful that one shell can level a football field.

If the main battle tank is a charge warrior, then the self-propelled artillery is a mage, providing powerful fire support from the rear.

The most outstanding thing about the pzh2000 self-propelled howitzer is that it can fire ten shells within two minutes from driving to stopping, and then quickly evacuate, everything is completed within two minutes.

For other self-propelled howitzers to do this, it takes at least ten minutes.

This undoubtedly greatly improves its battlefield survival rate.

After all, the position of the artillery is exposed as soon as it fires. If it runs slowly, it will be bombarded by enemy artillery shells and missiles.

Nawaf has high requirements for self-propelled howitzers and even higher requirements for anti-aircraft missile systems.

It is directly the performance of the US Patriot missile defense system.

The Patriot missile defense system is, needless to say, the most famous radar air defense system in the world.

It is a medium and low-altitude missile air defense system that can intercept aircraft and missile targets at an altitude of 20 kilometers and within 100 kilometers. It can track and attack 100 targets. The interception is accurate. The success rate of interception within 40 kilometers is as high as 9%.

10. Excellent performance, not afraid of saturation attacks.

Of course, its excellent performance is matched by a high price.

Each unit sold to Turkey in 2018 cost nearly US$900 million.

As expected of an oil tycoon, if you want to sell, just sell it.

It can be said that the self-propelled howitzers and radar air defense systems that Nawaf wants to buy are all top-notch products in the world.

In fact, Kuwait originally had self-propelled artillery and air defense radar systems, but they were purchased early. They were very advanced at the time, but they are a bit behind now.

Kuwait is accustomed to using advanced weapons developed by Laisou, but these backward weapons and equipment can no longer satisfy Kuwait's appetite.

More importantly, using the advanced weapons provided by Xia Yang, he defeated Yin Lac's 100,000-strong army and even annihilated more than half of Yin Lac's 100,000-strong army.

This result can be said to have made the entire royal family of Kuwait experience a major earthquake.

The gap created by modern weapons has almost led to a situation of defeat.

Just like Yinlak's 100,000-strong army invaded, but they relied on advanced weapons and almost chased them.

But what Kuwait didn't know was that there was something even more exaggerated. Yinlak was known as the fourth military power in the world, but was later destroyed by the United States in only forty-two days. No one expected this result before the war started.

Many people also joked that the United States would fall into the quagmire of war, but the facts surprised everyone.

Therefore, this allowed the entire royal family of Kuwait to see an opportunity to defeat Yin Lak and expand their territory.

If Yin Lac is defeated again, Yin Lac will be able to cede territory as compensation.

Just like Israel, it was often invaded by Aji and other countries, but the more Israel was attacked, the larger its territory became.

Naturally, to do this, the prerequisite is to defeat Yin Lac first, and the key to defeating Yin Lac is advanced weapons.

And because it was a pleasure trading arms with Xia Yang before, the two parties have established enough trust.

And the weapons sold by Xia Yang are of good enough quality.

When it comes to advanced weapons, the first thing that comes to Kuwait's mind is Xia Yang.

So when he heard that Xia Yang was coming back, Nawaf rushed over to order weapons as soon as possible. Even if Xia Yang didn't produce them, he would rather spend more money and wait more time and order them specially from Xia Yang.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! What’s more, even if you buy from other countries, the delivery time will not be short, especially for advanced weapons.

Xia Yang had already anticipated Nawaf's high demands, and the correction was in line with his expectations, because Laisuo never produced low-end products and wanted to create cutting-edge products.

"Nawaf, I can agree to your request for two weapons and equipment, but I have a question. Not counting self-propelled howitzers, if you purchase 20 sets of radar air defense missile systems in one go, the United States should not accept such a large order.

I’ll just let it go.”

Xia Yang asked the doubts in his heart.

For twenty sets of Patriot air defense missile systems, even if the United States is willing to pay 300 million U.S. dollars for each set, Kuwait's wealth will not blink an eye, so the order will be as high as 6 billion U.S. dollars, so the United States

Can you bear this order?

Nawaf shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I will tell you this question even if you don't ask. The United States hinted that we withdraw our troops and not expand the war. Of course, you can guess the reason even if I don't tell you. For the sake of world peace, regional stability, and oil

There are a lot of reasons including price, so you think the United States will sell weapons to us?”

"Of course the United States is willing to sell, but we will not buy it, because we believe that your weapons are no worse than American weapons, and even exceed them in terms of reliability and comfort. Purchasing weapons from you is not just the decision of the Kuwaiti royal family.

, which is also the unanimous request of the generals of the sea, land, and air forces.”

While explaining, Nawaf did not forget to flatter Xia Yang.

Xia Yang understood everything immediately, and at the same time, he was made happy by Nawaf's sweet words.

Finally someone knows the stuff.

Ed, a space battleship designer, personally controls the weapons he manufactures. Even if they are highly advanced, they are not comparable to products from other countries.

As for the United States asking Kuwait to withdraw its troops, perhaps it was just a casual statement by the United States to cover up its lack of reasons to prevent Yinlac's invasion.

Or, the United States hopes that Kuwait and Yinlak will fight as fiercely as possible, and the Middle East will become more chaotic.

Just like Egypt and other countries have invaded Israel many times and turned it into a pot of porridge, the United States and the United Nations have not done anything like it. They only impose sanctions and condemnation.

So you still have to rely on yourself.

"One hundred self-propelled artillery and twenty sets of radar missile systems. I have accepted your order. I will discuss it with my partners later and establish the research and development project as soon as possible. You just need to pay a deposit of US$500 million first and wait for these two pieces of equipment.

After the manufacturing cost is calculated, I will quote you the price and you will make up the remaining deposit."

Xia Yang officially accepted Nawaf's order.

"Okay, I will transfer the deposit to you now."

With that said, Nawaf motioned to his assistant to transfer the money to Xia Yang's account.

It is much more convenient to pay this time.

Because he often had arms business with Xia Yang, Nawaf specially opened a super VIP account at Lixin Bank and saved billions of dollars in one fell swoop.
