Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

  Chapter 653 Saudi interests

   Just want to gain the trust of the inland, easier said than done.

   As an ally of the United States, Saudi Arabia alone is enough to reject Saudi Arabia’s request from the inland side.

   Of course, Saudi Arabia is not completely without opportunities.

   During this period, compared with the two superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union, the inland missile systems still have a long distance to catch up. That is to say, whether the inland missiles are sold to Saudi Arabia will not affect their own security.

   Another Saudi Arabia is not a neighboring country such as India, South Korea or Japan. The inland is far away from Saudi Arabia. Even if Saudi Arabia buys a missile system, it will not threaten the inland.

   Therefore, if Saudi Arabia can show enough sincerity, it is not entirely without a chance.

  Especially now that the inland has focused on developing its own economy, and the national strength is tilted towards the economic field.

  These days, what does a country need to develop its economy?

  Simply put, just two, resources and money.

   With the development of modern industry, it is impossible to play without money and resources.

  The landlocked country is vast, and there is no shortage of resources.

  There is no shortage of resources, then only money is left.

   What the inland lacks most now is the US dollar. Economic development is bound to be inseparable from all kinds of industrial equipment, and many industrial equipment cannot be manufactured in the inland itself, and many need to be imported.

   All imported things require foreign currency.

   These years, in order to earn dollars, the inland has even sold resources to other parts of the world. Fahd has deliberately understood this, and it is precisely because of this that Fahd will target the inland.

  Saudi Arabia is not short of money, and there are so many green US dollar bills that the royal family members are too panicked to wipe their butts.

  If you want to get in touch with the inland, it is definitely not possible to go directly and hastily. Now Saudi Arabia needs someone who can talk to the high-level people in the inland and pass on their request.

   After all, the purchase of missiles, a strategic deterrent weapon, will inevitably be blocked by European and American countries if it comes with great fanfare.

  Once the United Kingdom and the United States stand up to stop it, then everything will be in vain. Only secret transactions are made. After the weapons are obtained, the raw rice will be cooked. Even if the European and American countries have opinions, they can only stare blankly.

  Fahd looked at his brothers and said earnestly: "We have been united with the United States for a long time and become its ally. Although our safety has been guaranteed, no one can guarantee it. The United States abandoned us that day and turned to support other countries.

  The Middle East is full of oil, and it is not only Saudi Arabia that can bring benefits to the United States. We have previously joined other countries to embargo oil, which has raised the price of oil. Although we have gained a lot of wealth from it, it has also caused dissatisfaction in many countries.

   Although this dissatisfaction will not make the United States and the United Kingdom abandon us, but from their support for Israel, it is not difficult to see that this is a kind of defense for us, and we want Israel to become a huge threat to us from now on..."

   "Now the United States and the Soviet Union are at odds, and even if the Soviet Union is willing to sell us weapons, we cannot touch the bottom line of the United States and the United Kingdom.

  Most countries in the whole of Europe stand on the opposite side of the Soviet Union. We are allies of the United Kingdom and the United States. The Soviet Union has no shortage of oil resources, so we will never be able to ally with the Soviet Union…”

"Benefits, Americans have given us benefits, but we must have the strength to protect our own interests. If we don't have such strength, then we are like lambs, and one side has grown to a certain extent. Americans will not miss the opportunity to shear sheep. ."

  Fahd's words made the other six Sudri brothers' hearts sink. As their eldest brother said, between countries, only interests and fists are concerned.

  When Saudi Arabia does not have the strength to protect its own interests, then countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom will not mind giving Saudi Arabia some weight loss and combing the wool.

  If they are just ordinary members of the Saudi royal family, they are naturally not allowed to think about too many things. They only need to eat, drink and have fun every day.

   But they can't do that. Their elder brother Fahd is the crown prince, and now he is about to take over the king's position. Once Fahd succeeds to the throne, they will have the final say in Saudi Arabia for the next few decades.

   As the saying goes, the **** determines the head.

  In this position, they have to consider the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as a whole.

   One is prosperous, and one is lost.

  Only if the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is good, they will have a better life. Otherwise, once Saudi Arabia has no value for use that day, the royal family will not have such a rich life as it is now.

  Sultan: "Okay, it's time for us to go down now. Today is our ninth princess' birthday. After the party goes down, the fourth child, you should have a good chat with which young man from the East."

  Naif nodded and said, "Okay, second brother, leave this to me."

  As the Minister of the Interior, he is naturally the most suitable for contacting Yang Chen among the few people. It is up to him to discuss this matter with Yang Chen in detail, and it will not attract too many people's attention.

Downstairs, Yang Chen, Rashid and Virgils were sitting next to each other. From time to time, people came over to say hello. Most of these people were either princes or princesses. There were many people saying hello, and it was because of his strong memory. Can't remember who was with whom.

   The huge hall, all people looked around, saw this, Yang Chen understood why this hall had to be built so spacious, if it wasn't big enough, just the princes of the royal family wouldn't be enough to stand.

   "Hasar, I thought you wouldn't come down."

  Hasar saw that Rasid was actually sitting with Yang Chen and Virgilsh, and he was a little surprised: "Why, you just stayed here and didn't move?"

   "Is there a problem?" Rashid shrugged.

   "Our Nine Princesses are here"

As soon as Virgilsh's words fell, Yang Chen looked up and followed his line of sight, and saw a woman in a black robe, covered with a veil, held by an old man's hand, and walked downstairs. The noisy hall suddenly quieted down.

   stood up together with Hasal and the others. Before Yang Chen could open his mouth to ask, Hasal turned to his ear and whispered the identities of several people.

   Hearing that several old guys turned out to be the Seven Brothers of Sudry, the actual rulers of Saudi Arabia today, Yang Chen couldn't help but stunned.

   It is too exaggerated for several bigwigs to come to a princess' birthday party. Even if the nine princesses are favored again, given the status of Saudi women, they will not be so taken seriously.

  Although he didn't understand why, Yang Chen didn't ask more, just like the people around him, quietly watching the old crown prince pretend to be forceful, ah, no, it's a speech.

  I saw the old crown prince leading the nine princesses to the center of the hall, and all the music stopped instantly.

Different from Yang Chen's long story, after the old crown prince came to power, after a few polite words, he announced that everyone should continue to do what they should do, and did not ask everyone to give gifts to the nine princesses, the whole thing was like walking. A cutscene.
