Chapter 133: Profiteers
"I protest! You are partial, and the Chinese are not trustworthy! The exercise is completely meaningless, and this is an insult to Iraq!"
Aladi walked into the director's office in a dusty military uniform and shouted angrily: "I want to report to President Saddam, and I want to go to the United Nations to sue you!"
Translator Zhang translated Abadi's words, and couldn't help but make many high-ranking officials and generals in the director's department look at each other. In the eyes of the Chinese side, there was no problem with the results of this exercise, and it could even be said that the Chinese side tied up their hands and feet to fight the Iraqis, and the final result was that a heavy tank regiment was defeated by a light infantry regiment at the cost of slight losses.
This kind of commander is placed in China, let alone the regiment commander, even a squad leader will not let him be. If you don't have the slightest awareness, you must admit that you have done something wrong, and if you are beaten, what kind of soldier should you be?
However, diplomatic issues have always been complicated, and it is really difficult for the generals in the system to directly refute him.
"Ahem—"
Hu Wenhai pretended to cough and looked at humanity with his chin: "Who is in the audience, suing this official?"
Of course, Hu Wenhai and the Iraqis could not understand it, but the vast majority of Chinese present could understand this sentence, and they immediately burst into laughter.
"You, you are an insult to Iraq, President Saddam will never tolerate such a thing, you Chinese still want to do business?
Abadi shouted, turning to walk out.
However, Ahmed, who has watched the entire exercise from beginning to end, knows that there is no fluke in China's victory, and even many characteristics of the Chinese system in the exercise. All of them are quite in line with the specific situation of the Iraqi side.
For example, there are many highlights of this system in local operations. Battlefield advantage in warfare with the use of civilian systems and geographical advantages. The massive use of UAVs and decoy shells to counteract enemy air superiority, the tactics of decoy shells to cover a real cruise missile raid, etc......
Ahmed seems to see the Iranian army that has been defeated and defeated by these means. For President Saddam, whether a regimental commander is wronged or not is far more important than a victory on the battlefield.
Ahmed wanted to stop Abadi, but his identity had a limited deterrent effect on Alphadi. Ahmed was a former secretary to President Saddam Hussein and a member of the Sunni system of government.
Abadi, on the other hand, is a member of the military system of the Shiite local faction, and the relationship between the two can be said to be 108,000 miles apart.
Abadi went to China to participate in exercises. In order to stir up Saddam's purchase. What does the strength of the Iraqi army's combat effectiveness have to do with the local Shiite factions? The Shiites, who account for the vast majority of the Iraqi military, attach more importance to the fact that this system will lead to the strengthening of Saddam's control over the army, rather than whether the army's combat effectiveness will increase.
It would have been better if Saddam's Republican Guard had suffered several defeats because of the army's lack of combat effectiveness, and perhaps the local factions would have a chance.
Therefore, in his heart, al-Abadi is only afraid that he will not "do" enough, but he is not afraid that China will tear up the procurement plan because of this, or that the Iraqi army will not purchase this system.
Even if the Chinese side really hardens the Iraqi heavy tank regiment in this exercise, Abadi will also want to "do" the previous exercise.
However, he didn't know that there was an old Chinese saying. It's called "nozuonodie".
"Lieutenant Colonel Abadi!"
Ahmad has long been resentful of the Shiites' covert efforts to interfere with this purchase, knowing that the Chinese side has promised him. As long as the purchase is successful, he will be paid a seven-figure remuneration on his account with a Swiss bank.
Seven figures! 100,000,000,000......,000,000,000,000,000,000,0
Ahmed took the calculator and did the math all night, not figuring out how the money was going to be spent.
"Someone, arrest the traitor Abadi!"
Ahmed reached out to stop Abadi, who wanted to leave, and then commanded the Iraqi guards behind him.
"What, Ahmet, what authority do you have to arrest me?" Alphadi looked at the two guards who came up, and quickly reached for the gun on his waist.
However, at this time, it can be said that the exercise director department has the highest density of Chinese generals, so how could he really take out his gun? As soon as Abadi made the gesture of touching his gun, two staff officers of the Shengjing Military Region pounced on him from behind and gave him his gun. Then an over-the-shoulder fall "slapped" the person to the ground. It seems to hurt a lot to look at like that......
But of course, the means of violence are only "that", and the Iraqi military still has to hand over to the Iraqi guards to take coercive measures.
"Let me go, let me go! I am the lieutenant colonel of the Iraqi army, Ahmed, you are a member of the government, why should you arrest me? I will sue you to the Ministry of Defense and to the military court!"
"Why?" Ahmed took out a document from his pocket and unfolded it in front of Abadi: "That's why! President Saddam Hussein personally signed the order for your arrest!"
"This—This can't be ......"
Aladi's struggle weakened suddenly, and when he saw the signature on the paper, he immediately went limp.
"Take it away!"
Ahmed waved his hand impatiently, watching as Abadi was dragged out.
"I'm sorry to let my Chinese friends see the joke, we have some internal things to deal with, please wait a while. ”
Ahmed bowed respectfully to the Chinese generals, and then turned around and left the director's hall.
The sudden change of attitude of the Iraqis made the military generals look at each other, is it true that this Iraqi is the same as the Japanese, they are not honest and do not fight?
At this moment, the side door of the director's hall was pushed open from the outside, and a Chinese soldier walked in through the door.
He first glanced around the hall, and when he saw Hu Wenhai, his eyes lit up, and he walked towards him with a smile.
"Oh, Mr. Hu, why are you hiding in this kind of corner, let me find it easily!"
Lin Qianjun looked excited, and walked quickly to Hu Wenhai's side.
Hu Wenhai was slightly stunned when he saw him, and suddenly asked, "Director Lin, what are you...... Came back from Iran?"
"Hey, I'm back!" Lin Qianjun patted his chest and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I am not dishonored." ”
"Yo, this is Xiaolin, right?" The general with Russian blood saw Lin Qianjun and still had an impression of him: "What, there is something to find our Comrade Xiaohu?"
"Report to the chief!" Lin Qianjun hurriedly saluted, and said with obvious excitement: "I came to ask Comrade Hu Wenhai for merit and went to Iran, but I didn't just come back." ”
"Oh, to Iran?" the general, who has Russian roots, was a little curious and asked, "How come I don't know what business the Air Force has with Iran recently, didn't it sell them spare parts and missiles for our F-14s?"
"This ......"
Lin Qianjun touched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly: "The spare parts and missiles for the F-14 are definitely not sold now." ”
Okay, it's really going to be sold! A group of old handsomes around looked at Lin Qianjun's eyes, and clearly engraved two words "profiteer" on him!
"Oh, then what is the matter with your trip to Iran this time, and it has something to do with Comrade Xiaohu?"
Hu Wenhai is now fragrant buns, and he is very cute in the eyes of the generals. Hearing that it was something related to him, he hurriedly gathered around.
"It has something to do with Xiao Hu? This is Lin Qianjun of the General Rear Officer, right? I remember you, the introduction of the F-14, you have a great merit!"
"Hello chief!" Lin Qianjun hurriedly stood up again, anyway, all the white-haired people present called the chief, there would definitely be no mistake.
"The introduction of the F-14 is a national decision, leadership and command, and Comrade Xiaohu sacrificed his family for the country, and I personally have no credit...... At most, hehe, a little hard work. ”
"Tell me, what did you do in Iran? It's not a secret, is it?"
"Report chief, there is no need to keep it secret from you, and there is no need to keep it secret. When Lin Qianjun said this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "My mission to Iran is very simple, I made a lot of foreign exchange. For a million dollars a round, he sold 100 cruise missiles to Iran and helped Iran eliminate an artillery regiment of Iraqis on the battlefield. ”
When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and suddenly remembered the scene where Ahmet had arrested Abadi just now.
No wonder, Abadi was arrested on the charge of treason, and it turned out that the source was here.
"However, what does this have to do with Xiaohu?"
"This is not Comrade Hu Wenhai's idea, and many parts of the cruise missile are still imported and assembled and produced by the new technology company, and he has made a lot of money in this business. ”
Lin Qianjun sold Hu Wenhai cleanly.
After hearing these words, the old handsomes suddenly showed a look of understanding. However, when he looked at Hu Wenhai, his gaze was completely different, and just now he felt that Comrade Hu Wenhai was a harmless little white rabbit and a good comrade who was willing to contribute to the strength of the motherland. But now—
The word "profiteer" that had been pasted on Lin Qianjun's body suddenly increased tenfold and fell back on Hu Wenhai's head.
"Haha-"
Hu Wenhai laughed dryly, looked at the forced eyes of the generals, and reluctantly explained: "Isn't this also a demonstration for the country's arms trade, you must know that China is one of the top five streams in the United Nations...... Permanent members of the Security Council must not favor one over the other, right? Shouldn't we have our fingerprints on the weapons of both warring sides? Isn't it too cheap? Equal strength and balance of armaments are the basis for peace!"
As soon as Hu Wenhai's crooked reasoning came out, the generals were stunned, and they were speechless for a while.
After a while, the general, who was still of Russian blood, touched his chin and nodded and said, "Well, what Comrade Xiaohu said seems to have some truth. ”
Hey, Comrade General, you're a revival of the hairy bear's bloodline, right? It's completely blackened so soon!(To be continued......
