At that time, the local tycoon Saudi Arabia spent money to buy China's Dongfeng Three

In 1987, China made a big deal with Saudi Arabia: China sold 35 DF-3 ballistic missiles to Saudi Arabia for $100 million a piece. As soon as the news came out, the whole world was shocked. In particular, the United States could not believe the news, and shouted: "Don't let China be too poor, otherwise they will dare to sell anything!" ”

There are many countries that believe that Saudi Arabia lost money on this deal, but the Saudi side feels that it has earned it. So, how exactly did the deal come about? Why does Saudi Arabia feel the deal is worth it?

The arrogant Israel, the powerful Iran and Iraq are encircling Saudi Arabia on the terrain, and they are also eyeing Saudi Arabia's oil. Unfortunately, Saudi Arabia is like the stupid son of a landlord's family, and although the country has money, its military strength has always been very weak.

The king of Saudi Arabia, who has been anxious all day, is worried about having money to spend every day. Saudi Arabia, deficient in military strength, desperately needs a weapon of mass destruction that will allow others to think about whether they can afford the price before sending troops to themselves.

At that time, only China, the United States and the Soviet Union could produce such weapons, and the Scud missile provided by the Soviet Union to the Iran-Iraq War was one of them. However, Saudi Arabia, as the little brother of the United States, even if he wanted to buy from the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union would not sell it to him. So Saudi Arabia made a request to the big brother the United States to buy spear ballistic missiles, as long as the United States is willing to sell, the price you can say. Normally speaking, the little brother talks about this part, and the big brother should be able to satisfy it.

Unfortunately, the big brother is not only your little brother, the United States at that time focused on supporting mainly Saudi Arabia's neighbor Israel. So the final result is that the United States even refused the purchase request for this kind of war-to-ground missile with a range of only 120 kilometers, and the reason for the refusal was very strange, sold to you, my good brother Israel can do what?

Saudi Arabia turned its attention to China after repeatedly encountering a wall, and there was no diplomatic relationship between China and Saudi Arabia at that time. At that time, China was just beginning to carry out reform and opening up, and it needed to use a lot of funds in all aspects, and the sale of Saudi missiles was also conducive to breaking the monopoly of force between the United States and the Soviet Union in the Middle East, so China agreed to Saudi Arabia's request for a deal.

But what is surprising is that saudi representative Bandar is so rich. When Bandar asked about the price of the missile, the Chinese representative put up a finger, and the Saudi representative recognized it as $100 million, and he also felt that the price given by China was "too affordable".

It turned out that the Saudi king at that time, before the Bandar emissaries set off, instructed him: The current budget that Saudi Arabia can use to import missiles is 8 billion US dollars, as long as it does not exceed this number, it can be bought directly! Bandar calculated that buying 30 missiles for $100 million only requires a budget of $3 billion, so he called "cost-effective."

Saudi Arabia's wealth and wealth surprised the Chinese representatives, but since Saudi Arabia "misunderstood", there was no need for China to "forcibly correct". In the end, the two sides hit it off and reached a deal that made both countries very happy. The reason for such a cheerful deal is that Saudi Arabia has not figured out how poor the Chinese side really is, and the Chinese side does not understand how rich Saudi Arabia really is.

In 1987, the missiles were secretly transported to Saudi Arabia, because Saudi Arabia gave too much, out of the traditional Chinese culture "you respect me a foot, I respect you a foot", China also trained the Saudi military how to use the Dongfeng missile.

Bandar watched the whole process of how the missile was launched from the reservoir to the silo, and was shocked, and was more and more glad that the decision to make a deal with China was not wrong. And what is more satisfying to Saudi Arabia is China's DF-3 missile with a range of more than 2,500 kilometers, covering almost the entire Middle East region, and its power and deterrence are far beyond the missiles with a range of only 200 kilometers.

Saudi Arabia carried out overwhelming publicity after the deployment of the "Dongfeng 3" ballistic missile, and Saddam Hussein could only think about Saudi oil in his heart after knowing this news.

But think about what would saudi arabia face if it hadn't bought these weapons from China, or if China hadn't sold them to Saudi Arabia at that time.

I think the same thing that happened in The Iraq-90s war that crushed Kuwait would also happen to Saudi Arabia.

The story returns to the Saudi representatives who came to China to discuss the purchase of the "Dongfeng 3" missile, and this time the Saudis did not get their wish and returned to their country with disappointment.

At the same time, after the Iraqi Saddam regime ended the War in Kuwait in just one day, Saddam Hussein ordered the march to Saudi Arabia, and 200,000 Iraqi troops marched to the Saudi border.

The Saudi high-level who received this news was full of worry and fear, and Iraq, as a military power at that time, had a very strong military strength and called itself the "third most powerful country in the world." This attack on Saudi Saddam dispatched almost a full set of Soviet armaments of 190,000 ground troops, the main force of the army is the Soviet T72 tank, and the Chinese Type 69 tank. In addition, Saddam Hussein was equipped with ten thousand air force equipment "MiG family barrels". Iraq's air force was the number one in the Middle East at the time!

And let's not forget that Iraq at that time still had Scud missiles provided by the Soviet Union, and the Scud missile warhead type was conventional warheads or chemical and nuclear warheads. Circular probability error: about 300 meters at a range of 300 km. All of the above data show the powerful destructive power of Scud, which also made great contributions to Iraq in the Iran-Iraq War. And riyadh, the Saudi capital, is also within range of the Iraqi Scud.

At this time, the Saudi high-level has become a mess, and the outcome of the war can be imagined without weapons of mass destruction against Iraq. The Saudi military also quickly organized personnel to deploy, hoping to withstand Saddam's attack.

At the same time, Saddam Hussein gave the army an offensive order and began to attack the Saudi army, which was an unprecedented war, Iraq came up to bomb the Saudi army in all aspects with MiG aircraft as the main offensive force, they used new precision-guided missiles, with a hit rate of up to 95%, directly destroying the command, control, intelligence and communication systems of Saudi Arabia's strongest elite Revolutionary Guards.

Under the cooperation of the war weapon Scud, the war showed a one-sided trend, not only that, but the initial night combat attack and the investment of night combat equipment also gave the Iraqi ground troops a great advantage; The Iranian guided-missile destroyers cruising in the Red Sea frequently fired cruise missiles, directly destroying a large number of important Saudi facilities and destroying their ability to counterattack strategically.

In just three days, Saddam Hussein occupied almost half of Saudi Arabia's land, destroyed countless cities, and the Saudis had little strength to fight back.

On the other hand of Saudi Arabia, Israeli President Hayim Herzok can't help but think about Saddam Hussein's actions, and he also wants to get a piece of the pie with such a large amount of oil. So while the Iraqi army was resting and preparing, Hayim Herzok ordered the organization of an army march to Saudi Arabia.

The Iraqi army is mainly equipped with sophisticated American equipment, because saudi arabia's military strength is too weak to take into account the two sides of the force strike, so the Iraqi army easily entered saudi territory.

A week later, Saudi Arabia collapsed, and Iraq and Israel, using the Saudi capital Riyadh as the dividing line, occupied a part of Saudi Arabia, and Saudi Arabia disappeared from the map paper. At this time, due to the input of oil, Saddam Hussein used the profits brought by oil to alleviate Iraq's external debt crisis and frantically develop national strength.

With the support of the big brother of the Soviet Union, Iraq had its own nuclear weapons, and after becoming strong, it sent troops to annex Ichisei and Iran and other Middle Eastern countries. Since then, the Middle East has been completely in saddam's hands. Along with China, the United States, the Soviet Union, and the Four Great Military Powers, it also dominates ninety percent of the world's oil production. Oil is the lifeblood of today's energy, and to control oil is to control the world.

Fortunately, the hypothesis is that since Saudi Arabia successfully purchased the "Dongfeng 3" on the mainland and sat in the country, and after my expert guidance, the "Dongfeng 3" was deployed in Sulayil on the edge of the southern desert in Saudi Arabia, more than 560 kilometers from the Saudi capital Riyah, which can perfectly cope with various blows. Iraq stopped after its occupation of Kuwait and did not dare to act rashly!" Dongfeng 3 "made Iraq's threat to Saudi Arabia disappear without a trace."

Therefore, the advancement of weapons can basically determine the outcome of a war. It can also make countries that really want to pursue peace have enough confidence to resist countries that always want to create wars and want to make huge profits from wars!
