Chapter 153: Sha Mou, we in the East can meet your needs

If we talk about what Sha Mou wants most, it's definitely the Skyrocket Monkey!

Sha Mou has money, but the army lacks spirit; even if they bought advanced weapons, even if they got their hands on F-15s, putting them in their hands would waste good equipment; even if they flew up high and fired an air-to-air missile from afar, they'd run after firing, not daring to fix bayonets and see blood, and would never become elite.

How can national security be guaranteed?

Then we have to rely on other advanced equipment! Sha Mou has long been thinking about buying a batch of Skyrocket Monkeys back.

But……no one sells!

Because relations with the United States are good, the first people they turned to were Americans, but……when the Americans heard, they immediately waved their hands and said no sale! Not to mention not selling the ones with a range of several thousand kilometers, they won't even sell the ones with a range of one hundred kilometers!

Sha Mou was furious enough to sneer, you sell weapons to the David people, that's whatever you want, you get it; any advanced weapon, you equip yourselves first, and the David people are your second equipment!

Now we want a batch of Skyrocket Monkeys, just to protect national security, and you won't even give us this?

Sha Mou turned to France; the French were easy to talk to, they could sell missiles with a range under three hundred kilometers, but the problem is……this range isn't enough!

Sha Mou wants to deploy this batch of missiles in the vast desert, and still be able to reach the territory of a potential enemy; well, no more pretense, it's to strike David's territory, which at least requires a range of over a thousand kilometers.

Now……the East can meet their needs!

First, the East has this weapon, from the East Wind-1 to the East Wind-5, step by step, from short-range to intercontinental ballistic missiles, there must be one that meets Sha Mou's requirements; second, looking worldwide, only the East is willing to sell missiles to our side, other countries……simply can't buy them.

Before, we just didn't think of purchasing from the East; today, when Qin Miao and Chu Miaomiao were at the air force base and mentioned the Skyrocket Monkey, they immediately became interested, and now the people present have even agreed!

"Good, then let's go talk to the East now!" Sultan was excited.

"Don't rush, everyone, I only said there's a possibility of sale; whether it actually sells or not, my word doesn't count, so next you still have to wait a bit, wait until I return to the East, do work with the relevant departments, finish the ideological work, and if they agree to sell, it won't be too late for us to go over."

"How long will it take?"

Sultan was anxious.

"I don't know either, but I'll do my best, as long as things here are finished……"

"Don't worry, we'll cover the money for that kind of short-range surface-to-surface missile and the fighter jets; you have nothing else to do here, so hurry back! Besides, as long as they're willing to sell, money isn't a problem!" Sultan continued speaking.

Now everything centers on purchasing Skyrocket Monkeys with a range of over a thousand kilometers!

Qin Miao felt moved; before even going to Jordan and Iraq, this matter was settled!

Originally we thought it would take ten days or half a month, but unexpectedly, a day trip got it done!

"Everyone, we……seem not to have established relations with the East yet? How……do we do this business?" Salman, who had been silent, spoke up.

"This is simple; you Sha Mou put up the money, go through Jordan for transshipment, then hand it over to Iraq, and on the surface everything will be fine." Qin Miao had already thought this out.

"Fighter jets and short-range missiles can be handled this way, but the Skyrocket Monkeys we buy for ourselves cannot be done like this; this matter must not be known to any outsider, at least before the Skyrocket Monkeys are in our hands, it needs high secrecy." King Khalid spoke.

"Your Majesty, I understand your meaning, please rest assured, the latter will definitely be handled secretly."

Chu Miaomiao's feelings were mixed; if San Shui was just trying to fool Sha Mou into paying for weapons purchases for Iraq, then this would be a one-time deal, and thereafter it would be hard to gain Sha Mou's trust.

Judging by San Shui's previous thoughts, he definitely wanted long-term cooperation, but just this big item, would the domestic side sell it? How would we persuade the relevant departments upon returning? Even his own father isn't familiar with the aerospace department!

However, she also knew that this issue could be discussed later; for now, we should first do our own proper work, that is……accurately translate these conversations.

The talks finally ended.

"Your Majesty, if there are no further orders, then we will take our leave."

"Wait!"

Khalid's shout made Qin Miao a little curious; by rights there shouldn't be anything left!

"Come here!"

A servant walked in, holding a tray, on which lay a box covered with red silk.

"You two have worked hard; this is our little token of appreciation, please be sure to accept it."

Qin Miao carefully opened the red silk, looked inside, and saw a not-large box; upon opening it,

Holy cow!

Golden light sparkling!

The center is round, with chains on both sides; these are two watches, cases and bands made of gold, flashing light under the lamps, making a click-click sound; looking at the dials, every hour mark is inlaid with another kind of bright, sparkling thing……diamonds!

Such a watch is already valuable, worth at least several million dollars; moreover, there are two, one large and one small, clearly a pair at a glance.

Chu Miaomiao was stunned; Sha Mou's Majesty is far more generous than Jordan's Majesty! However……such a precious gift, we cannot accept it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

San Shui……actually took it?

Gifts from a big spender naturally should be gladly accepted; making friends with a tycoon, that's how it ought to be!

"Miaomiao, bring out our gift too! Your Majesty, we also have a gift to present to you."

The other box the two carried was opened, and Qin Miao personally took out the vase inside; seeing it, it was variegated, mostly a deep blue, with some red, green, and yellow accents, shining brightly under the lights.

The main body of the vase is a landscape pattern, with obvious relief……

On the main seat, Khalid widened his eyes: 'What is this?'

"It is a treasure of our Eastern traditional craft, cloisonné." Qin Miao introduced: 'Using copper as the base, fine copper wire outlines the intricate pattern, filled with enamel glaze, produced through multiple processes……'

"Not bad, not bad, I like this gift!"

Chu Miaomiao stared; exchanging gifts is a friendly gesture, they gave us watches worth several million, while we give them cloisonné worth a few hundred.

Qin Miao, however, felt at ease; we each gave what we considered valuable, and the other party was satisfied—this is the symbol of friendship; there's no need to measure by money, how vulgar, giving Sha Mou something valuable, they might not necessarily appreciate it, after all they've seen too many valuable things.

The key is the thought, the thought!
