Chapter 181 Unmanned Bomber! Dog tycoon: Daxia, can we station troops if we buy equipment?
The next day.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the rush hour in Yanjing has passed.
Suburbs.
Several vehicles with Yanjing license plates slowly stopped, and the two ambassadors nodded to each other after getting out of the vehicles.
Saudi Arabia and Persia, two world-renowned arch-enemies, are experiencing a rare peace here.
"We've been waiting for you two for a long time. Let's go inside and talk!" Zheng Lixing, who was standing at the door, smiled and led the two men inside.
Saudi Ambassador Abdul looked at the sign hanging at the door and asked in confusion: "Why did you, Xia Ke Institute, ask us to come to this military factory?"
This time it was also a special "invitation" from the diplomatic department of Daxia. Without asking, one knew it must be about the "Xia Academy of Sciences".
However, what surprised him was the location. It was not the Xia Ke Institute's conference room or the State Guesthouse, but this military factory!
And he had been to this familiar place once before.
This is the 732 Military Factory.
Following in his footsteps, Persian Ambassador Ahmed Hassan also frowned: "Is it about the progress of that 'long-range unmanned bomber'?"
"They've already made it in Daxia? Are they developing it so fast?"
Apart from this possibility, he couldn't think of any other reason why he would meet with several people at this military factory.
"Ambassadors, you will soon understand why we invited you." Zheng Lixing smiled and said, "We will definitely not let you down."
After hearing this, the two of them immediately became focused.
Entering the 732 Military Factory.
"Old Li, the distinguished guest has arrived." Zheng Lixing raised his eyebrows and then teased, "Hurry up and lead the way. There is no time to waste."
He did not give any detailed introduction to Ahmed and Abdul. After all, they had met several times before, and this was a private meeting. Being too formal would be a 'failure.'
Hearing this, Li Yunshan nodded and walked in front to lead the way: "Let's go directly to see the real 'Scorpion Unmanned Cargo Aircraft'."
"It will also allow the two ambassadors to have an intuitive experience and realize how powerful this equipment can be."
"Unmanned cargo plane? This is the 'item' we want to see?" Persian Ambassador Ahmed Hassan noticed the key point.
"Isn't it an 'unmanned bomber'?" Abdul looked a little surprised: "Is this another 'new equipment' that you Daxia has recently developed?"
What kind of cargo plane could it be?
They took so much trouble to come here this time, didn't they want to see the 'long-range unmanned bomber'?
Bro, this tastes wrong!
Looking at the two people who were directly in confusion and bewilderment.
Zheng Lixing shook his head and explained, "Its official name is: 'Scorpion Unmanned Cargo Aircraft', and it will be sold to you as a normal commodity for foreign trade."
"But if you insist on making some inappropriate modifications to this 'cargo plane', it can also carry dangerous items such as 'cruise missiles', 'air-to-air missiles', 'heavy bombs', etc."
"When selling, we will send you various prohibited items, otherwise we will have the right to refuse subsequent 'warranty' work on it."
After hearing this impassioned speech, the two ambassadors' eyes lit up and they echoed: "Yes, we came here to buy these 'unmanned cargo planes'!"
As long as it can be equipped with cruise missiles, heavy bombs and other bombs, what does it matter whether it is called an "unmanned bomber" or an "unmanned cargo plane"?
It can be loaded with cargo one minute and bombs the next!
Just like the previous small drones, Daxia is intended for normal foreign trade, just for you to use it to take pictures of the scenery, conduct some high-altitude aerial photography, entertainment activities, etc.
As a result, you had the "unethical" habit of modifying it inappropriately, and even installed a delayed fuse to use it as a suicide drone?
All we can say is that these "criminals" who bought drones have very rich imaginations.
After all, whether it is Daxia or Persia and Saudi Arabia, they have already written down a list of "prohibited items". What else do they need to do to satisfy the international community?
A few minutes later.
Inside the 732 Military Factory, several people slowly walked into a factory building, where an airplane was placed in the middle.
When he saw it for the first time, even Zheng Lixing, who was mentally prepared, couldn't help but have his heart tremble violently.
Not to mention the two ambassadors next to them, who had their mouths open, looking dull and numb.
It’s not because of its cool appearance. In fact, this drone has an unusually round and raised appearance except for the nose part which is integrated with many precision instruments.
The rest of the aircraft looks no different from a normal one.
However, the most shocking thing about it is its size.
"How can it be so big?" Saudi Ambassador Abdul gestured with his hands: "Its wingspan must be more than 20 meters, right?"
He thought that this 'long-range unmanned bomber' should be much larger than a 'small drone', at most the size of a car or truck.
So what is this thing in front of me?
Its length alone is over eight or nine meters, its height is over three meters, and its wingspan is close to twenty meters.
"Is it really just a drone of this size?" Ahmed curled his lips.
He finally understood why this long-range drone had a range of several thousand kilometers and a payload of one or two tons!
With this size, it is more than enough to serve as a small plane. It can probably carry several people for long-distance flights. In case of emergency, it may even be used as a temporary transport plane.
When the shock gradually subsided, another doubt followed.
Ahmed looked at the drone, which was already huge, with a hint of confusion in his eyes: "Academician Zheng, didn't you just say that you wanted to conduct a 'drone experiment'?"
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate in this place?"
Even though this is the suburbs of Yanjing, it is also the most important core area of Daxia. Isn't it crazy to conduct experiments on "long-range bombers" here?
And even if it flies dozens of kilometers away, it cannot truly prove its power.
As if he had seen through their confusion, Li Yunshan waved to a young man in his early twenties who had been standing next to him, "Zhang Ming, it's your turn to perform, don't let me down."
Naturally, he was well prepared for this and had made a full set of preparations in advance.
The aircraft displayed here were just for viewing, and the 'Scorpion UAV' that was actually going to be used for the experiment had already been arranged by him in advance.
Hearing this, a young man named Zhang Ming hurried over, sat on an operating table on the other side of the factory and started pressing buttons one by one.
On the screen next to it, the belly view of a drone appeared, and it was quickly leaving the ground and taking off at an upward angle.
From high in the sky, you can clearly see that the surrounding area is covered with loess and Gobi desert.
This kind of deserted scene is definitely not something that can be found near Yanjing.
Without waiting for Abdul and the other two ambassadors to ask, Li Yunshan explained, "This is an aircraft test base located more than a thousand kilometers away from us, in the Northwest Province."
"The geographical location there is more suitable for conducting various experiments on 'long-range drones'"
Zheng Lixing followed behind and added: "This is also the advantage of drones. They are not limited to where you control them. They can take off and perform missions at any time."
This is the true meaning of "long-range unmanned bomber".
As long as it has signal transmission, it can take off and bomb anytime and anywhere, and will not be restricted by geographical location or conditions.
"Unrestricted. Free bombing?"
These two words, like a huge pie, are tempting the two ambassadors from Persia and Saudi Arabia.
Isn’t this the unmanned bomber they dream of most?
At this moment, it is flying outward at a speed of more than 800 kilometers per hour.
After a long wait of nearly half an hour, according to the coordinates, it has flown more than 400 kilometers away from the original location.
In the picture, there are several houses made of concrete and bricks.
"Is this the goal of this experiment?"
"If a 'small drone' is used for the attack, conventional bombs will not be able to destroy it at all," Ahmed made a comparison in his mind.
Not to mention the small drones that can only carry a few kilograms of bombs, even long-range rockets may not be able to directly destroy a concrete building, and this is the best result that can be obtained without taking into account its pitiful hit rate.
however.
He watched as the Scorpion cargo drone opened a hatch directly from its belly.
Then, a huge warhead suddenly appeared in front of everyone. Through the camera on the belly of the aircraft, the number "500" printed on its back could be seen accurately.
The unit used by Daxia is definitely not pounds, but kg.
In other words.
"Hiss, is this a 500kg heavy bomb?" Ahmed was shocked. The amount of explosives in this thing is not just a few kilograms, but more than two or three hundred kilograms!
This kind of bomb can actually be loaded on this small "cargo plane"?
In an instant, when this heavy bomb fell to the ground, the concrete building was directly hit on the main frame and turned into ruins.
And when all the bombs were poured down, the entire ground was blown to pieces.
If there was a group of enemies gathered below, the two ambassadors could not imagine how many casualties it would cause.
Just as the two were stunned.
"Moreover, it can also return automatically based on satellite signals." Li Yunshan continued.
Zhang Ming immediately pressed a button according to the instructions.
All we saw was that this long-range unmanned bomber automatically began to return home without any operation required.
In fact, its return destination is not the place where it took off, but Yanjing, which is two or three thousand kilometers away.
"Hiss" the two ambassadors took a breath of cold air again.
Is there anything more suitable for their use in the Middle East?
It is a fool-proof operation that does not require much training cost, and even the attack becomes so simple. This solves the embarrassment that they can afford weapons in the Middle East but have no idea how to use them.
Especially Saudi Arabia, no matter how many high-tech weapons it buys, they cannot withstand the destruction of weapons that they will never use.
More importantly, this thing is cheap!
For example, the MQ-9 or Global Hawk owned by the Eagle Sauce costs tens of millions of US dollars each for internal production, and the export price is even more outrageous.
And this 'Scorpion Bomber' in front of us is not a cargo plane, and it costs five million US dollars!
"Academician Zheng, I need to go back and discuss this with the leader right away."
"The two hundred aircraft that were pre-ordered in the early stage. I think the number needs to be increased a little bit more." Persian Ambassador Ahmed reacted immediately.
He couldn't even imagine what a horrible effect it would have if there were hundreds or thousands of these things!
This is a real conventional strategic strike, a real bomber cluster.
Even the B-2 or Tu-160 probably don't have such destructive power.
A thousand aircraft only cost 5 billion US dollars, which is definitely a great value.
"Please go ahead!" Zheng Lixing said with a smile.
This "Scorpion Unmanned Cargo Aircraft" is originally a low-end version, and Daxia will also develop and upgrade an ultra-long-range unmanned bomber in the future.
At the same time, this 'long-range drone' even uses Daxia's satellite for signal transmission, so there is even less room for worry.
Without Daxia's satellite support, this thing is no different from waste.
A few hours later.
Two cars, one in front and one behind, slowly stopped in front of the gate of Xia Ke Institute.
And they walked back to the dean's office together.
When Abdul saw Dean Zhang Yuli, his eyes sparkled: "Dean Zhang, we in Saudi Arabia are also planning to buy more 'Scorpion Unmanned Cargo Aircraft!'"
"In terms of quantity, we can even double it!"
Even at that moment, Saudi Arabia had already prepared the required funds and was ready to transfer money to Daxia at any time.
After all, although he couldn't do it himself, he had a group of hungry wolves under his command. These things would be the best choice whether they were used to attack the 'squid' or the mold that would grow on the oil.
Hearing this, Zhang Yuli simply smiled and said, "Ambassador Abdul, I think it's more than that, right?"
“Is it because of the Palestinian issue that you Saudis are so anxious about this time?”
He had already guessed something when the Saudi ambassador arrived.
If they only needed to purchase additional weapons and equipment, they could have raised the matter with Zheng Lixing in person at the 732 Military Factory.
Why did he have to come to Xia Keyuan to meet him in person? This was obviously not in line with common sense.
The biggest possibility is the issue of "Palestine".
really.
Abdul nodded without hesitation: "We have thought of a corresponding countermeasure, but before that, we would like to ask a question."
"Mr. Abdul, we are old friends." Zhang Yuli took a sip of tea and said in a calm tone: "You can talk as you like."
Zheng Lixing on the side did not interrupt, but silently added some more tea to the two of them.
At this time.
Abdul recited a famous saying that was astonishing as a rock: "If we buy more weapons, will it be convenient for Daxia to station troops in Saudi Arabia?"
In an instant, Zhang Yuli and Zheng Lixing spat out the tea in their mouths!
My goodness, you Saudis want Daxia to station troops just because you buy weapons? ? What the hell is this train of thought!
"Why do you want us to station troops there?" Zhang Yuli's face was filled with black lines. Why would anyone take the initiative to request to station troops there?
"You Daxia are different. You will protect our safety," Abdul said seriously, "Even if it is to protect the safety of these weapons and equipment, we still want you to station troops there."
The main thing is that they in Saudi Arabia deeply understand what it means to be beaten if you fall behind!
As the international community advocates, backwardness does not necessarily mean being beaten. That is only because others do not want to beat you today. Small countries like Switzerland and Sweden are nothing more than a fly that plays both sides in front of the real big countries.
If I really want to hit him, then it would be: What does it have to do with you if I destroy you?
Today, the situation in the Middle East is becoming increasingly chaotic, and the oil kingdom of Saudi Arabia is simply a child holding gold bricks in a busy city. Who knows if the Eagle Sauce will find a random reason to subvert their entire country?
These Americans have done this kind of thing many times in the third world around the world.
After hearing this, Zhang Yuli finally understood what he meant.
"Ambassador Abdul, Saudi Arabia's current situation has not reached that level yet." Zhang Yuli shook his head: "And we in Daxia do not interfere in other countries' internal affairs."
He knows that Saudi Arabia is increasingly concerned about its security situation.
It's not that they want to sit on the fence, but the situation is pressing.
At present, under the control of the real Jewish organizations behind the Eagle Sauce, who knows what their goal is? Is it the whole of Palestine? Or the whole of the Sinai Peninsula?
They even want to infiltrate Saudi Arabia and other countries. I'm afraid even Jesus himself doesn't know how terrible the ambitions of these Jews are.
In the past, Saudi Arabia might have continued to endure in silence, but now that Dahabi has risen and its development momentum is becoming more and more vigorous, it is more of a desire to make Dahabi clear its attitude in advance. Saudi Arabia will firmly stand on the side of the YSL nation and the interests of the Middle East, which is a very rational behavior.
Even in the perception of these people in the Middle East, it is reasonable to station troops in a country that is good to us and powerful. Otherwise, how can the two sides be truly tied together?
"Let's talk about it. What is your countermeasure?"
Zhang Yuli waved his hand.
Even if we really want to "station troops" or something, we shouldn't talk to him about it.
"President Zhang, this is the 'killing with a borrowed knife' in your Great Xia's Art of War," Abdul said seriously.
"Oh?" Zheng Lixing became curious: "How about a borrowed knife to kill someone?"
"We will pay 50 billion U.S. dollars in compensation to the Houthi armed forces in Yemen and even some compensation to Iraq." Abdul's eyes seemed to be sparkling when he talked about this.
Saudi Arabia is a bit timid, and is also afraid that the United States will take some extreme actions.
But they have money. At worst, they can just spend money to hire someone to cause trouble for the Eagle Sauce!
"What a great way to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"
Wow, this strategy of Saudi Arabia is pretty good!
This is not just about targeting Israel, but about expanding the war to the entire Middle East and making the Americans run around in a hurry.
At the same time, this is also a 'naked' conspiracy.
Either you keep raising the stakes, or you just take the beating!
