() The special envoy of Russia came as scheduled, and the place of negotiation was also set up at the Basra International Hotel, and after the two sides took their seats, there was no embarrassing situation last time, and the general content was determined, and almost all of them were formulated in the last negotiations, and Russia would continue to fulfill the previous terms and conditions, and at the same time, it would also give actual military support to Basra

That is to say, the arms contract in Basra after Rì is still half-priced, and there is no need to pay a deposit, and at the same time, Russia will export technology to Basra to help Basra build an advanced arsenal, and the only one is that the recently launched aircraft carrier Peter the Great is stationed in Basra Port, and the Russian side cannot agree to it for the time being

After all, this aircraft carrier has cost the Russian side no less than six billion US dollars, and it will definitely become the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet, and become the main maritime combat platform for the Russian Navy to deter Europe

But Canglong felt that this was not the main reason why the Russians were unwilling to send this aircraft carrier, but because Russia was not willing to break with the United States in an all-round way, otherwise the Russians would have sent the Black Sea Fleet directly, you must know that now only the Black Sea Fleet has the best strategic location and the most powerful fleet among the four major fleets of Russia

The main purpose is to deal with the US Sixth Fleet stationed in the Mediterranean, and this aircraft carrier will become the flagship after it is built, and it can compete with the US Sixth Fleet stationed in the Mediterranean

The Persian Gulf is smaller than the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea are still so far apart, but if Russia moves the entire Black Sea Fleet over, it will be equivalent to a direct confrontation with the US Fifth Fleet, just like the neighbors living opposite

What's more, Basra is not a country, but only a province, and nominally it is still subject to the constraints of the Zhōng Yāng, and if the Iraqi Zhōng Yāngzhèng Fǔ does not allow the Russian Black Sea Fleet to enter the port of Basra, Russia will be tantamount to an invasion, and it will be untenable in the eyes of world public opinion in the first place

Basra had no say in this, after all, they did not declare their separation from zhōng yāngzhèng fǔ

Out of this consideration, the Russians' plan was not wrong, but Canglong insisted that this aircraft carrier come to Basra Port, so the negotiations reached a stalemate again, Ivanovich did not expect that Canglong would be so vexatious, how could the newly launched aircraft carrier not even conduct sea trials

What's more, now is not the time to directly confront the Americans, Canglong should understand this, and even the top of the Prophet Army knows it very well, but why is Canglong in a hurry to get the Peter the Great

No one knows what he thinks, anyway, Canglong finally held on to the bite and came up with a surprising strategy: "You can use the guise of sea trials to drive into the Persian Gulf, it's a big deal that you don't have to hang weapons and carrier-based aircraft, and you don't even have to wait for frigates and destroyers to wait for the Persian Gulf, so you have to make a friendly visit to Basra under the pretext of refueling, so it's not easy to say anything, he said that we are not birds, and he finally used the excuse that it would be unsafe for the aircraft carrier to leave the Persian Gulf."

Ivanovich and the Russian envoy thought that the dragon was crazy, and the newly launched aircraft carrier crossed the Red Sea without any weapons, crossing the Indian Ocean to the Persian Gulf, which was really unbelievable, although they all knew very well that no one would be stupid enough to sink the newly launched aircraft carrier

After all, Canglong said very clearly, without mounting weapons and without carrier-based aircraft, but this is equivalent to a big sandbag at sea, others want to investigate, you can investigate, you want to fly over your head, you are helpless, the most important thing is a question of face, Russia is such a big country, in case the head of that small country is not right, send fighter jets to fly over your head a few times, and the Russian Navy will lose face

"No, absolutely not," Ivanovich said, on the issue of face, there must be no concessions, Russia has lost so much face, and now it can't afford to lose this person

"Then bring a supply ship and a frigate, plus a few experimental carrier-based aircraft, it's really not good, then get a few more submarines and see who dares to do nothing to come closer," Canglong put forward another plan

Ivanovich felt that this was much better than the previous one, but if it was a sea trial, then these guards would indeed be enough, but Ivanovich was still worried that something would go wrong, and if the head of a country was not nervous and ordered to sink this aircraft carrier, then they would lose a lot

Seeing his concerns, Canglong threw out another condition: "If it is sunk, it will be mine"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Canglong in surprise, this is an aircraft carrier with a cost of up to six billion US dollars, sold to Russia for more than seven billion US dollars, how rich Canglong is, and actually said that it was sunk and counted as him, although everyone knows that the risk of being sunk is very low, the main thing is a matter of face, but throwing out such conditions, Ivanovich was a little moved

Anyway, in the end, such ocean-going sea trials will have to be carried out, and it is possible to do so now, so Ivanovich put forward his own conditions: "Peter the Great cannot stay in the port of Basra, at least not until the time is right, a friendly visit is possible, and all the costs of this visit must be borne by the shipyard."

Ivanovic: This is asking for money in disguise, the Russian Navy experimental aircraft carrier asked Canglong to pay for them, no matter how you look at it, it is unreasonable, but surprisingly, Canglong actually agreed: "I can reimburse you for all the expenses of this visit, and I don't require you to stay in Basra Port, you can withdraw if you want, as long as it can strategically deter Iran, it is enough."

"Now that all the agreements have been negotiated, let's sign the treaty," Ivanovich finally relaxed, and at the same time, the high-level leaders of the two sides shook hands one after another, and it seemed that they were friends from now on, although they were not comrades-in-arms, but sooner or later the title would change

Canglong signed his name on the agreement and stamped it, and Ivanovich also signed his name, which was the first agreement signed since they cooperated, and the largest agreement, and the fastest negotiated military alliance in history was born

Ivanovich did not stay too long, he chose to leave Basra directly, his identity is sensitive, if he continues to stay here, in case it is known, there will be unnecessary trouble, after all, this military alliance was signed in secret, because Basra is only a province and not a country, once it is exposed, Russia will be suspected of splitting Iraq

And now Canglong has no intention of really breaking away from zhōng yāng, and he also plans to include the whole of Iraq in the territory, how can he be so reckless and force the Americans to be anxious

"You spent so much money to fool the Russians' new aircraft carrier, you won't just let them go around in a circle and leave," Su Su suddenly asked, when there were only two of them, if the Russians knew Canglong enough, they would find that Canglong was actually a dime a dime

Taking the money from him will definitely require the price of several times the original value of the money, but the Russians seem to be in the dark

Canglong smiled and said, "Of course, I didn't plan to let this aircraft carrier go when it came here."

"What do you mean" Su Su couldn't understand, he had just signed a military alliance agreement, and now he was planning to detain someone else's aircraft carrier, what kind of trouble was going to be

"Don't worry, I'm sure I won't be stupid enough to detain the aircraft carrier for my own use, I will let the Russians take the initiative to leave the aircraft carrier here and honestly call me, believe it or not," Canglong said with a smile

"Don't believe it," Su Su said decisively, "The Russians are not stupid, could they leave an aircraft carrier that has not formed combat effectiveness here for you to use as a target, besides, the Americans' Fifth Fleet is not a vegetarian, and in the face of the absolute superiority of the Americans, no matter how stupid the Russians are, they will not stay here."

"What are you betting on," Canglong said directly

Su Su hesitated, looking at Canglong's confident appearance, he really couldn't hold his mind, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Bet on my salary for a year"

"Hehe" Canglong stared at him and said with a smile, "You lost for nothing, I will not fight this war with Iran if I lose."

"Really," Su Su looked surprised

"As a leader, of course, you have to say nothing, how can you come out and mix in the future," Canglong said with a smile, "But I can tell you that you are determined to lose, and you will wait for a year to do it for nothing."

Su Su also came to the momentum: "If you can really fool the Russians, why don't you work for a year for nothing, I'm afraid that you will really play tricks on me when the time comes, and I will take you anyway."

Canglong didn't want to explain anything, but said, "Go to Basra Port and take a look."

Then the two left the intelligence agency and dealt with the Russians, and they were all set, and all they needed was an east wind

After a round around the port of Basra, Canglong and Su Su returned and lifted the sea ban, so that the fishermen could go out to sea to fish, and the coastal jǐng reserve was responsible for safety

This is an amazing thing in Basra, you must know that the Iranian navy is still blocking the coastline, isn't this allowing the fishermen and the coastal jǐng reserve to ram the broken boats into the guns of others?

However, no matter who put forward an opinion, it was directly vetoed by Canglong, and in Canglong's words, do we still need the Iranian Navy to allow us to operate in our own territorial waters?

Moreover, Canglong also added a layer of security, and if the Iranian Navy dared to make any dangerous moves against the Basra fishing boats, the Air Force would immediately dispatch

As soon as this remark came out, everyone understood what Canglong wanted to do, and the Iranians probably never thought that Canglong was not as afraid of war as they imagined, but was actively seeking war, that is to say, what Canglong owed, the east wind was the initiative of the Iranian Navy
