After hearing Musharraf's words, Lu Jiadong couldn't help but be stunned, but then he realized that Saudi Arabia, one of the richest countries in the Middle East and even the world, has more oil than water, more money than people, and his own preference for luxury, no matter what it is, he must be the best and the best;

To buy a supercar, you need a global limited edition; to buy a yacht, you need the most luxurious; to buy a private jet, you need to build a flying palace; even if you buy a toilet, you need to make a 24k pure gold, which is expensive and the best. This is the way of thinking of the local Saudis. Even if you personally participate in investing in weapons and equipment, you cannot get rid of this kind of thinking inertia.

However, this also made Lu Jiadong less burden in his heart. After all, building a production line is equivalent to technical output, and it doesn’t matter to Pakistan at that time. The friendship between China and Pakistan for many years is there, and supporting Pakistan is also in line with China’s strategic interests in Central and South Asia;

What's more, for the sake of restraining India's geostrategic considerations, it is not a bad thing to strengthen Pakistan's independent defense. At least the new tank project of China-Pakistan cooperation has greatly shocked India. You must know that when the new Chinese tank, known as "Kalid" by Pakistan, galloped in the desert in eastern Pakistan, the "Arjun" tank that took India for twenty years, had not yet run two laps in the test site;

In contrast, India feels like it hits a wall directly. It has been working hard for so many years and hasn't created a piece of it. Therefore, China and Pakistan have only made a world-class tank for a year or two. India is unimaginable at this speed. In the end, it can only stop at the border and spend huge sums of money to purchase the most advanced main battle tanks from the Soviet Union.

Therefore, it can be imagined that when Pakistan stands on the India-Pakistan border, an invisible giant umbrella will directly cover the sky above India. Perhaps at that moment, India's front-line combat aircraft did not even have the courage to take off, because as long as they took off, it would mean being shot down. Under such pressure, India can only continue to consume its precious foreign exchange reserves, and was once again treated as a flesh-filled lamb, slaughtered by international arms dealers, and eventually wasted national strength, thus eliminating the threat to China's southern region......

But Saudi Arabia is different. Although the relationship between the two countries has developed well recently, especially in the two armies and military industry sales, it has made rapid progress. Even China's Dongfeng-3 medium-range missiles are sold to Saudi Arabia, the relationship between the two countries has not reached the point of transferring core manufacturing technology;

What's more, Lu Jiadong was also unwilling to do this. It was a last resort to introducing a cooperative mechanism to jointly develop air defense missile systems. Being able to establish a production line in Pakistan is already Lu Jiadong's bottom line. If it is rebuilt in Saudi Arabia, Lu Jiadong would never agree;

Not for anything else, I just don’t want to add another strong competitor in the future. As Lu Jiadong, who traveled through time in later generations, has a deep impression of this. In order to sell the new foreign trade b611 short-range ground-to-ground missile to Turkey, the relevant parties put the conditions very relaxed and even agreed to package and transfer the relevant technologies and production lines together;

With such a large-scale concession, the contract was naturally successfully reached. However, afterwards, Turkey used China's technology and production lines to copy a batch of B611 short-range surface-to-ground missiles, and gave it a very Turkish name to return it to the international arms market, which had a great impact on China's original goods, resulting in a decline in sales for two years and losing a lot of markets...

Although Saudi Arabia does not have Turkey's scheming and strategy, it is the saying that it is necessary to defend against others. Besides, although this new air defense missile system is only a foreign trade model, Lu Jiadong attaches great importance to it, and it can even be said to be on par with the J-H9 to some extent;

Because this air defense missile is the main force in the mid- and low-altitude area air defense in Lu Jiadong's long-term plan, and it is also a steel giant supporting the sky above the heads of surface ships in the future. After all, the air defense problem of surface ships is an important issue that can never be avoided.

If the solution is not done well, even if a 10,000-ton giant ship is built, it is just a living target for the enemy's aviation power. Only by creating a defense circle extending to the distant sea can surface ships truly rush out of the ocean and move towards the vast distant sea. All of this must have a set of air defense systems with excellent performance and reliable technology. The new air defense missile system that is being actively prepared is the foundation of this, so no matter what, Lu Jiadong must also maintain the core technology.........

"Lu, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Seeing that Lu Jiadong didn't say anything for a long time, Musharraf couldn't help asking with concern. After Musharraf said this, Lu Jiadong also recovered from his thoughts. Naturally, he could not tell what he had just thought, so he could only smile and hide it, and then explained casually:

"The top-end package that Saudi Arabia requires is too broad, and it is difficult for me to define it here!"

"Don't worry, you think it's too broad, but Prince Khalid gave a rough definition!" Musharraf didn't know that this was Lu Jiadong's random explanation, so he immediately spoke:

"That is, at least it cannot be worse than the United States' 'standard' air defense missiles, the French just launched 'Aster' missiles, and the number of Sam-11'beech' air defense systems!"

Hearing this, Lu Jiadong was also shocked. Good guy, Saudi Arabia's so-called top-end equipment has a high requirement. The three air defense missile systems mentioned by Musharraf just now, let alone in the current 1980s, even in the 21st century twenty or thirty years later, are among the few advanced air defense missile systems, which can be called the "classic" of air defense missiles:

"Standard" air defense missile, an air defense missile specially built by the United States for the navy, has been continuously improved and improved since its service in the 1970s, and has formed a huge air defense missile family. Almost all the main battle surface ships of the United States are equipped with this type of missile. In the near future, this missile has developed a special missile such as Standard-3 and Standard-6, which is a special missile for ballistic missile defense, and has become the "Standard" missile for the United States and even the world!

The Soviet Sam-11 Beech missile is also a medium- and low-altitude field air defense system similar to the US "standard" air defense missile. It not only inherits many advantages of the old Sam-6 missile, but also fully integrates electronic confrontation, target tracking, and combat system automation on its basis.

It has become a world-class air defense missile system. It is not only favored by the Soviet Army and the National Air Defense Force, but also attracted the attention of the Soviet Navy. On the basis of it, it has developed a ship-based model. It is the "windless" missile system equipped by the "modern" class missile destroyer. Some time ago, it performed well in the Sino-South China-South China Sea conflict, and it almost destroyed future missiles and fighter jets. It can be said that it is the culmination of the Soviet Union's medium and low-altitude air defense missile field......

As for the French-led "Zero" air defense missile system, although its development time lags behind the same type of missiles of the United States and the Soviet Union, this missile has developed extremely rapidly thanks to France's unique military development ideas and Europe's unique technological advantages. Not only that, France also borrowed from the many advantages of the United States and the Soviet Union in this field, making the "Zero" air defense missile not only serialized, but also land and ocean. Although it eventually formed a combat power later, its strong late-engine advantage allowed it to firmly occupy a place in the world's air defense missile forest......

"It must be comparable to 'standard', 'beech', 'aster','" Lu Jiadong murmured to himself, then shook his head: "The Saudi princes and grandchildren also look down on us too much!"

"this........"

Looking at Lu Jiadong's expression, a hint of dismay appeared on Musharraf's face. Although he was not a professional military worker, as he had been in the Pakistan Army Intelligence Bureau for more than ten years, he was not unfamiliar with this high-tech equipment, so he knew very well how powerful the United States, the Soviet Union and Europe were in this field.

With China's existing technical capabilities, it is indeed incomparable, so he also feels that Saudi Arabia's standards are a bit high, but high, after all, Saudi Arabia is just a big player who secretly contributes money, not a participant who actually sends technical personnel. They don't know what the specific technology is. Anyway, if it is developed, and showing it to him with exaggeration, they can also make them dizzy. Anyway, Saudi Arabia has suffered such losses in recent years, and it doesn't matter if it once more. Thinking of this, Musharraf's difficulty is slightly clear:

"Saudi only pays money, not people. How will the performance be? It's up to you to say that as long as they listen to it, they will automatically pay the money. Don't tell me, the eloquent Lu, who doesn't even have this ability?"

"There is a truth!"

Lu Jiadong responded, but then a smile appeared on his face that was unexplained. Then he shook his head slightly and said intriguingly:

"But, compared to cheating people with unrealistic mouths, I prefer to speak with strength!"

Upon hearing this, Musharraf was stunned and immediately reacted. He exclaimed: "Lu, can you come up with an advanced air defense missile system that is comparable to the United States, the Soviet Union and Europe?"

"Isn't it just 'standard', 'aster' and 'beech'? Don't worry, it's not that easy to let my China's big 'red flag' stop. No matter how you do it, you have to 'red flag' to waving......"

Lu Jiadong patted Musharraf's shoulder, his voice was gentle but extremely firm, and the curve of the corners of his mouth filled his absolute confidence in the young face.........
