Chapter 169: with translation of chapter title

The world, the first to buy ballistic missiles and nuclear warheads was Britain; they are already a second-rate country, but they still want to restore the former glory of the empire where the sun never sets, but, to develop it themselves, they can't afford the money, so……they just bought it from the Americans.

In 1968, Britain's first ballistic missile submarine, Resolution, entered service; the Polar Bear A3 missiles on board were purchased directly from the United States.

By 1996, the Vanguard-class ballistic missile submarines entered service; the Trident missiles on board were also bought by Britain from the United States, and even the spare missiles were kept in Lockheed Martin's warehouse for maintenance, saving money.

Although the missiles were handed over to them, needless to say, the nuclear keys are certainly in the hands of the United States.

Now, the second buyer of ballistic missiles is a certain Saudi person; can this nuclear key be placed in their hands?

Of course not!

When Easterners sell mushroom bombs, it involves great risk, so having the nuclear key in Easterners' hands makes them more reassured; as for use……

A certain Saudi person believes that Easterners are their friends and will not side with the David people, so when the David people threaten the survival of a certain Saudi person, Easterners will surely agree to let that Saudi person use mushroom bombs!

If Easterners impose no restrictions and simply give the warheads, then those certain Saudi persons would instead suspect whether these are really mushroom bombs.

"However, sending the warheads directly to us…… is inappropriate; we are willing to pay for them."

"No, no, this thing cannot be bought for any amount of money; it can only be given as a gift, which also demonstrates our great friendship."

"Good, we, a certain Saudi person, will remember this friendship; in international affairs, we will firmly support the Easterners, even if it risks offending the Westerners, we will spare no effort."

Sultan's words were resounding.

"Hmm, if there's no problem with Annex One, please take a look at Annex Two."

"No need to look; we trust our Eastern friends, have no objections to the contract, and are just waiting to take it back for His Majesty to see……"

Although he didn't look, his subordinates have already seen it, and their eyes clearly say there's no problem!

Many of these clauses are friendly to a certain Saudi person; compared to the harsh clauses of the West, they are downright lenient!

"Good, next, please everyone go to the state banquet; after eating……"

"After eating, we need to go to Ha Gong Da to have a look."

Qin Miao froze.

What? Go to Ha Gong Da?

I originally thought I could get rid of these people, but unexpectedly I still have to bring them to Ha Gong Da……

"We came with the purpose of inspecting the East; of course we can't just look around here and leave. We are very interested in Qin's alma mater…… Qin, can you take us there?"

"Of course, I represent the alma mater and welcome everyone to visit."

Let's go; I was saving up to take the train, but taking a special plane gets us there directly.

These certain Saudi persons are really in a hurry; after eating the state banquet at noon, the special plane took off in the afternoon and headed straight for Ha Gong Da!

On the special plane.

Qin Miao admired the luxurious interior decoration, stroked the leather seats, and felt deeply moved: having money is truly great; life is a kind of enjoyment!

"Qin, we……"

Sultan had just opened his mouth when Qin Miao quickly waved his hand, pointing to the side wall and then to his ears.

Sultan was startled, then realized Qin Miao was afraid he would slip up; this place isn't safe, and actually he hadn't intended to say anything secret.

"We saw your exported 155mm Truck Cannon to Yituo; its performance is really good, long range, rapid deployment, shoot and scoot. On this trip to Ha Cheng, if it looks suitable, we will also purchase a batch."

"Well, this is our Ha Gong Da's flagship product……" Qin Miao babbled on, and in short, not a single piece of real data.

When landing in Ha Cheng, the sky was already dark; the moment the cabin door opened, cold wind rushed in, Sultan immediately shivered, thinking the Capital was already cold enough, but he didn't expect Ha Cheng to be even colder!

"Your Highness, put on the military overcoat; after getting down, we'll get straight into the car."

Below, the best Land Rover off-road vehicle had already driven straight into the airport; as for the other people accompanying us, they could only sit in the Red Flag sedan.

After getting into the car, with the warm air blowing full blast, Sultan finally felt warm.

"I just felt the cold wind blowing into my bones!"

"That's right; here you can feel the bone-chilling cold." The greeter and translator, Chu Miaomiao, echoed: "However, this is only outside; once you enter a room, you'll feel very warm. Next, we'll first go to Ha Cheng's largest hotel to arrange your accommodation……

"No, first go to Ha Gong Da, to your workplace and place of study, let me have a look."

"Okay."

The car headed to Ha Gong Da; Sultan thought of something: "Qin, do you also know my plane has a problem?"

"If you allow us to disassemble it, there are at least more than ten eavesdropping devices on this plane." Qin Miao said.

The special plane of a certain Saudi person is all purchased from the United States, and simultaneously modified in the US, luxurious, extravagant, comfortable; but…… expecting the Americans not to tamper is impossible.

Needless to say for a certain Saudi person's plane, even when Easterners purchase Boeing aircraft as special planes, they still find 27 eavesdropping devices on them; this thing cannot be eradicated at all.

At this moment, Sultan really wanted to nod and let Easterners disassemble it, but if they did disassemble, it would obviously alert the snake.

"Not having one's own airliner really isn't feasible." Sultan sighed.

"Well, Easterners have our own airliner, the Transport 10; you may not have heard of it, but it was originally developed as a special plane for national leaders; if you want it, we can guarantee there won't be a single eavesdropping device on it."

Reborn individuals, even reborn in the 1980s, none of them fail to want to save the Transport 10, because the project's cancellation caused Eastern's large aircraft industry to lag behind the world by several decades!

Only up to the C919 did we have our own single-aisle medium-short-range airliner, but in the long-haul aircraft sector it remains a blank, awaiting the C929 to fill the gap.

Although the Transport 10 has nothing to do with Ha Gong Da, if we can help, we still ought to lend a hand!

"Transport 10? Good, when we have free time we'll look into it." Sultan nodded: "Now, we should still go to Ha Gong Da first. You previously mentioned that seawater desalination project; we also want to know its progress."

Qin Miao's heart skipped a beat; back then I was speaking off the cuff, wanting to squeeze more R&D funds from a certain Saudi person's hands, but after returning I've been busy with the project selling the Heavenly Monkey, so I didn't make arrangements; now if Sultan goes there, wouldn't that expose the flaw?

"Your Highness Sultan, let's first go to the Materials Department." Chu Miaomiao replied: "The experts of the Materials Department will report to you on the progress of reverse osmosis membrane research."

Qin Miao let out a sigh of relief; it seems Miaomiao has arranged it.
