Why did Kissinger want to test Gu Biao's talents again after he got him to the United States, and then he was relieved to make a secret deal with him?

It may be difficult for a layman to figure out this trick, but a person in a diplomatic circle, as long as he knows the relevant details, he will definitely be able to guess it.

This is because, when Gu Biao was a graduate student at the Foreign Affairs University and published a paper in the "Foreign Affairs Review," what he showed was only the vision of "seeking" the enemy's secret diplomacy.

This ability is important, but it doesn't represent the whole story. A person can catch a thief, it does not mean that he can also be a thief, it can only be said that he is very familiar with this industry and has a high probability of being a thief.

But when you really end up in person, the difficulty is still increased. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many keyboard warriors who spray others, and they won't squeak after being retorted by a sentence of "you-can-you-up".

Only after Kissinger's personal proposition and making up for the last assessment can it really prove that Gu Biao's strength has risen from a "senator who can see through a diplomat's question" to "a diplomat who can deceive the senator just now".

On this basis, because there are no diplomats in the United States who are familiar with President Hussein in Iraq, since Hussein nationalized and confiscated all the American-funded oil companies in Iraq during the oil crisis in '73, the two sides have long since formed a feud and have not been in contact with each other for seven years. During this period, Iraq spoke very well to the other camp.

What's more, even if the Americans have diplomats who are familiar enough, their identities are too eye-catching, and they are easy to be targeted once they are dispatched.

To sum up, Gu Biao is obviously the best option that Kissinger has come up with after a lot of tempering.

……

"Don't worry, I'm not going to let General Hussein cooperate with us - you just have to give him a word, first of all, we want him to pay for a Kidd-class guided missile destroyer that was released by the Iranians.

Second, we want him to announce in advance the takeover of the warship in due course – preferably at some point on the way from the United States to Iraq when we want to deliver it, and as soon as we say delivery, he will admit to 'receiving it.'"

Finally, we also hope that if something recently happened in the Persian Gulf that hit the Iranians, or some of their allied ships, General Hussein would come out and claim that it was the warship that his Iraqi Navy had taken over to do it — whether there was a problem in identifying friend or foe, or whether the officers and men had just received new equipment that was far ahead of the previous level of technology of the Iraqi Navy and were therefore unskilled and misoperated...... That's whatever you want. ”

After Kissinger's attempts with Gu Wei were completed, he told his plan.

Gu Biao took a look at it, and found that this old fox was really very cautious, much colder and cleaner than the one who caused trouble for Li Gen.

Historically, the main setting for Mai Ke Leng to help Li Gen solve the Iranian hostage crisis was as follows: through Algeria, the little brother who took money and sold his face, he took the hostages and transferred them to a safe place after Iran received the arms, and then the Americans pretended to be "heroically rescuing the hostages from the Algerians". (To cover up the shameless truth that he actually gave arms to the evil country and bought the hostages back.) ）

This plan is not to say that it is not feasible, but there are too many people in the know, and the Iranians have caught the clues and suspicions of the Navy SEALs before picking them up, and then repeatedly threatened Li Gan.

It was expected that 100 AIM-54 "Immortal Bird missiles" and 20 sets of AG-9 fire control radars would be bought out at one time, but in the end, the Iranians repeatedly blackmailed three times the amount of arms, and finally it was exposed, which made the Reagan government lose face in 86.

Of course, after Li Gen completely lost face, there was also a side effect, that is, the Iranians no longer had the scandal chips to blackmail the Americans, and the embarrassed and angry Li Gen completely turned to Hussein, fully supported Hussain to push Iran back, and finally ended the Iran-Iraq war in 88 with Iraq's dominant posture. (Especially in the last two years, after the United States completely helped Iraq, Iraq had the audacity to use poison gas bombs, and the international community did not care.) ）

Therefore, it can be said that if the Iranians had not intermittently threatened the United States with scandals for five years and blackmailed arms for five years, the Iranians might not have lasted for the eighth year and would have lost the war ahead of schedule. (Iran didn't have much money at that time to ask the Soviet Union to buy more arms, at most to buy Chinese bargains)

And Kissinger's plan to plug the leak behind the scenes, regardless of the specific details, is certainly much more risky than the 1.0 version of Buke's cold.

First of all, it does not have the problem of the US military engaging with Iran directly at the time of its hands. Secondly, when the SEALs intercepted the hostages from the Algerians, it was not easy to be too ruthless, and if they killed all the innocent Algerians present, Algeria would definitely jump up.

But if the person who did it was Hussein's banner, then it would be fine. Hussein was already fighting the Iranians, killing a few more people, and if he claimed it, what Hussain was not afraid of was accumulating more hatred points - he would not worry about more debts and lice for a long time.

Directly rescue the hostages first, and then one anti-ship missile, or even several anti-ship missiles, send the ship carrying the hostages to the depths of the Arabian Sea, and no evidence can be found in pieces.

After returning home, he said that "it was General Hussein's men who picked up the survivors and returned them to the United States after the accidental attack."

The United States can stage a "I was really ready to do it, but in fact, before I could do it, I was rescued by a third party and obediently returned to me."

Of course, the Americans are not stupid, so they will not really let General Hussein's people touch the hostages, otherwise it would be bad if Hussein was also a careerist and asked the Americans for more conditions.

This is like the "Eleme" takeaway brother asking a foodie to pretend to place an order, and then the little brother eats the meal himself.

When you finish eating, call the foodie and ask him to pretend that the order is "delivered".

General Hussein didn't do anything, he just sat at home and was responsible for ordering the "delivered" foodie, and then he was also responsible for giving the store a bad review, and carrying the hatred value brought by the store because of the bad review.

In fact, he didn't know where the little brother was.

Oh, and as for the just-completed Kidd-class destroyer he paid for, it was an empty lunch box after the takeout was eaten. The little brother is still very dedicated, although he eats by himself, he still has to throw the empty lunch box into the trash can at the door of the order house to create physical evidence.

In addition, even from Gu Biao's standpoint, it is very difficult to do it if Gu Biao wants to leak Kissinger.

Because Gu Biao should theoretically not know the existence of the people who traded with the Iranians.

In other words, those who negotiate with Iraq only know Iraq and Iran only know Iran, and neither of them "knows who their own people are on the other side and what conditions they are using," nor do they know what the overall plan is.

This confidentiality is very good, an absolute one-line contact.

At the same time, Kissinger is not afraid that the Iranians will drag him into the water, because the Iranians will never know about his existence, only the existence of Maike Leng who is directly connected with Iran.

(Note: Solemnly declare, please pay attention to punctuation when reading.) The narration outside the quotation marks shows that it is not Kissinger's original words, but Gu Biao's brain supplement. That is to say, Gu Biao "speculated" that the Americans were "possible" to do this with the heart of a villain, but it does not mean that the United States really did it in the end. In fact, there must be a difference in the means, and it will be designed to be more humane than Gu Ao's temporary brain supplement, so this book does not slander Americans for doing or not doing any specific acts. ）

There are still many details of mutual checks and balances to win trust, and Gu Biao hasn't figured it out yet, but he still has time.

At the moment, after a cursory glance at the whole picture, Gu Biao keenly pointed out one of the biggest problems:

"However, how did the US Government suddenly sell warships to the Iraqis for no reason? The Kidd-class missile destroyers are not just sold for sale, is it? Isn't Iraq now a country that restricts US arms sales deals?"

Kissinger was very decisive in this regard: "This is not a problem, the president will soon complete the reduction of the level of restrictions on Iraq to a less sensitive scale." If this step is not achieved, I will not let you go.

Then, of course, there is still an excuse to find - we can first pretend that we want to sell a Kidd-class to Wanwan as a 'secret compensation and appeasement after the termination of the defense treaty', and then you will poke the news into your country with the appropriate scale and channels. Let your ministers protest.

As soon as you protest, we will immediately say that this is a legacy of the past that was agreed before December 31, 1979, and then withdraw it. But by then, warships were already sailing from San Diego to Asia across the Pacific.

After the established facts, in order to stop the loss, we will urgently look for a 'compelling' buyer in Asia. In this case, in order to reduce the losses of the arms dealers, the parliament will understand the sale of warships to Iraq.

Oh, in addition, you can take the opportunity of this briefing to give your contacts in your country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs a chance to make meritorious contributions - it is also a great credit to get us to secretly sell the Kidd class to Wanwan, and the notification and protest are successful.

And after you leave this room tonight, until you finish your mission, someone will pay attention to your words and actions. You can give a little bit of your itinerary when you reach out to that companion – only to the extent that you don't have to worry about 'I'm going to kill you', so you know what you can and can't say. ”

Gu Biao pondered calmly for a moment, and felt that it was indeed very solid for all parties to contain each other, so that there was a strong common interest of "no one wants to expose things, otherwise it will be finished together".

And the Kidd-class destroyers, which were historically started in June '78, were originally intended to be sold to Iran. It was Iran that broke out of discoloration eight months after the start of construction of the warship, which led to the order being released from the pigeons. The U.S. defense treaty with Wanwan and the abolition of the liaison office ended on December 31, 1979, which was exactly the right time.

(The establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States was on January 1, 79, but Brzezinski and the great man reached a preferential condition in the last negotiations before the establishment of diplomatic relations, that is, to allow the United States to give a one-year grace period, and then cancel the liaison office in the north of the bay on December 31, and formally terminate the defense treaty on the bay.) ）

According to the original development, it is true that the United States swallowed the four Kidd-class naval ships handed over to it because of its friendship with the mainland, which took up a lot of funds for the navy and delayed the development of the secondary ships of the Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers.

However, later, in the era when China and the United States were at a low point of mutual hostility, the Americans also sold the mothballed Kidd class to Wanwan again (the A-bian period)

So, all this "pretense" is very similar.

After pondering it for a while, Gu Biao decided to pick the key points and ask: "So, what benefits are you going to give to General Hussein? Although he is not afraid of notoriety, he will not want to carry notoriety in vain." ”

"First of all, he'll get a discounted ship
