"FUCK!!!"
General Montasel slammed his fist hard on the control panel.
The entire console shook violently.
"You're in charge of organizing the data. Notify me as soon as you're done!"
"Roger that, Commander Montazel!!"
The people around were quite frightened.
"Why does the lord seem so angry? I think this air defense missile system is perfectly fine."
It can even successfully shoot down an F-15, so it's definitely no worse than the American Patriot PAC-3.
"PAC-3? Didn't you take notes at the last meeting? The Americans sold us the PAC-2 series."
That's outdated stuff!
"Moreover, this air defense missile system is so easy to operate that it even comes with an instruction manual in Arabic."
Are they not as conscientious as Americans? The English version is giving me a headache!
What are we discussing?
The missile launch team leader overheard the operators whispering amongst themselves.
He came over and scolded him.
"The team leader is fine; he's just organizing the data from the previous test firings."
"You know, there are some things you can say and some things you can't say."
The general hasn't even arrived downstairs yet, and you're already discussing this?
The missile launch team leader had already issued the order.
The air defense missile system that the US sold to Saudi Arabia has problems.
I participated in the bidding process myself, as the person primarily responsible for duty.
The head of the missile launch team can access almost all the tender documents.
According to the information in the document, the Americans not only raised the price temporarily, but also for the PAC-2 series.
It also cut a lot of features, and the final price was higher than that of NATO allies.
It has increased by at least 30 percentage points.
Who knows whether Admiral Montaçon was a man or a villain in the previous dealings?
They might have reaped considerable benefits...
General Montasel returned to his office.
Inform the secretary that no one may enter the office without your order.
Two guards were stationed outside General Montasel's office.
General Montasel picked up a satellite phone and dialed an unfamiliar number.
"Hello, do you have Thor's hammer?"
Hello, may I ask who you are?
“I, General Montasel, and the Nathan brothers, our deal may have changed.”
On the other end of the phone was Mr. Nathan, the actual head of Raytheon's Middle East operations.
This person has been traveling to various countries in the Middle East for a long time.
He maintains close relationships with almost all the leaders, cabinet ministers, and high-ranking military officials of Middle Eastern countries.
It is currently one of the largest arms dealers in the Middle East.
"There's been a change? Didn't we agree before that we'd import a set of Patriot air defense missiles for 4 billion?"
General Montasel, if this deal is canceled, I'll have a hard time explaining it to my superiors.
You know that Raytheon is willing to pay a high price for this deal.
Currently, only the army in Saudi Arabia has deployed air defense missile systems.
On the naval side, it's still in the development stage.
Starting with General Montaçon, 60% of the Army's senior executives received substantial benefits from Raytheon.
Of course, the biggest beneficiary was General Montasel.
For this purpose, Raytheon specifically established a mechanical parts company on American soil for General Montague.
The procurement quota for a precision component of the Patriot air defense missile system was awarded to General Montasel.
That alone would generate at least $60 million in profit.
“Brother Nathan, I didn’t want this either. Who knew Foreign Secretary Judith would suddenly get involved in this mess?”
We imported a brand new air defense missile system from China.
Their price is more than three times cheaper than ours!
"China's air defense missile system? It's the HQ-16FE air defense missile system?"
"Yes! Nathan brothers, you've heard of them too?"
Nathan was currently vacationing on a beach in the Middle East, having planned to close this big deal with Saudi Arabia this year.
I can finally take a vacation and prepare for Christmas.
Suddenly, Su Lin appeared, snatched the order, and kicked over the coconut juice in front of him.
"How could I not have heard of it? I just had dinner with Lockheed's regional manager the day before yesterday."
"It was this air defense missile system that shot down the Blackbird reconnaissance plane!"
"Even the Blackbird has been shot down?"
Admiral Montaçon's mouth was twitching; the fact that an F-15 was shot down was already outrageous enough.
After all, the F-15 is a fighter jet; its overall design focuses primarily on maneuverability and air combat.
However, the Blackbird is currently the world's most advanced reconnaissance aircraft.
Everything is for security and stealth purposes.
If this can be shot down, then the HQ-16FE air defense missile may indeed surpass the Patriot air defense missile system.
"Is there any way to remedy this? I'm also familiar with the leaders at McDonnell Douglas."
Don't you still have orders for dozens of F-15 fighter jets that you want to buy?
I asked McDonnell Douglas's top management to put some pressure on them.
"That old man, Shir-Shahrani, surely he doesn't know what's good for him?"
Currently, the most advanced fighter jets in the Middle East are the American F-15 and the Russian Su-27.
There's also the French Mirage 2000 series.
In terms of performance, the F-15 is definitely far superior to the other two.
This is why it is said that the F-15 fighter jet orders...
For Middle Eastern countries, it is like a lifeline.
