Director Bao's concerns are not unfounded.

At that time, foreign affairs officials were really honest, and at most they only dared to eat, drink, and collect some souvenirs, but they definitely did not dare to reach out for cash.

Therefore, we must be very cautious in dealing with capital and paying attention to the country. Because once you apply for a large cash rebate for the other party's government procurement official, it is easy for the country to look at you with colored glasses - this person has handled so much money that cannot be seen on the books, will he himself?

Director Bao wants to make more progress in the officialdom, and he really hopes to make more contributions after being promoted. Naturally, I don't want to leave the hidden danger of being chewed on my tongue.

And Gu Biao didn't want to leave the suspicion of melon fields and plums.

He hopes that in the future, when the background of the times allows, he will retire and become an upright tycoon.

And he knew that he might make some friends on this trip. If he spends money, he will indeed become an "old friend of the Iraqi people" in the future, will he be suspected of spending public money and buying personal friendships?

This "intangible asset" is completely inexplicable.

However, Director Bao is quite righteous, and when talking about kickback tactics, he finally added: "Xiao Gu, you still have a great future, if you really want to move the money, I will handle it - I can't hide anyway, don't get your hands dirty." Of course, we can also choose to return in vain, and would rather not sell the equipment. ”

Gu Biao listened and was slightly moved.

He gritted his teeth and confided in his last hole card: "Then try not to touch the money, I have a way to directly curry favor with the top management and establish friendship." But you need to give me permission, and create opportunities to meet with the higher-ups. ”

What he said was the mysterious humanities and social sciences academic achievements that Isminaya had translated before going abroad.

Don't think that liberal arts papers are worthless, sometimes the truth of a historical study can cause drastic fluctuations in the diplomatic situation of countries around the world.

And the killer weapon that Gu Biao wants to use is the research results published by a history professor named Schromer at Tel Aviv University in Israel in 2008, called "The Fictional Judah Nation", which exposes that the Judah race does not actually exist at all - or that Judah is not a concept of blood, but only a religious concept, which is disguised as a nation.

This achievement is enough to fundamentally determine the "ancient" legal legitimacy of the Israelis to seize Palestinian land, so it is definitely more powerful than a nuclear bomb at the physical level when it is in the hands of the leadership of any Middle Eastern country. It was also enough for Gu Biao to become a guest of General Hussein in exchange.

The specific argument for the results is complex, so I won't go into detail for the time being.

And the reason why Gu Biao knew about this achievement in his previous life is not surprising, in that life, he graduated from college after the 08 financial crisis, and naturally hated the financial dog clan, so he paid more attention to the negative results of the Judahs. Second, these exciting achievements will be known to anyone with a little knowledge.

Code farmers will always be a type of lifelong learners, and the later generations of Gu Biao also subscribed to paid learning courses on Luo Fatzi's "Get APP", where there is a "Listen to Books Every Day" column of more than 300 yuan a year, which he would listen to every day on the subway commute in his previous life, and heard the detailed explanation of "The Fictional Judah Nation".

Luo Fatzi's "get" has 20 million paid subscribers, so as long as you are a lifelong learner, as long as your eagerness to learn can rank in the top 20 million among more than a billion people, even if you are an engineering student or a code farmer, it is logical to know what those liberal arts students don't know, nothing to make a fuss about.

……

"What do you want to do?" asked Director Bao warily.

Gu Biao pondered the wording: "Who does General Hussein want to deal with most at the moment? It is nothing more than Iran and Israel. I can secretly use him as a think tank, secretly directing some poisonous plans against Israel. If you authorize it, I'll do it - make sure they keep it secret and don't give away their ideas, so that it doesn't affect diplomatic relations. ”

Hearing him say this, Director Bao was not worried: "What are you kidding! There are more think tanks in other countries, and this kind of thing is worth so much money if you want to get it and others want it?"

In these years, the most worthless thing is the person who runs to the other party's door to point out the country, and he will definitely be blasted out as a spicy chicken talking about the hot fire.

"Don't underestimate our school, we have a library of academic journals in the humanities and social sciences for foreigners as complete as the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Gu Biao didn't want to reveal the details, so he used the signboard to increase his credibility, "Besides, if you don't do this, do you have a third way to choose?"

Director Bao thought about it, and now is the time for a dead horse to be a live horse doctor.

"Can you guarantee that you will only give some secret advisory opinions? It will not go beyond this scope, and it will not divulge state secrets?"

Gu Biao: "Don't exceed." ”

Director Bao frowned and thought about it again and again: "Okay, for the sake of your two meritorious contributions, let it go, I'll help you carry this pot." Let's just say that when you had a personal conversation with the other party, you thought of it temporarily!

However, if you mess up this time, the credit you have accumulated in the ministry will be cleared. Don't think about getting any more good opportunities until you graduate!"

Obviously, in the end, it was Gu Biao's "historical record" that contributed to Director Bao's trust.

If it weren't for the two previous credits in the First Aircraft Department and the credit in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs last year, Director Bao might have chosen to "talk about whether he can go home or not, regardless of the mess".

But since Gu Biao is obviously a promising person, he himself dares to gamble on his future, so Director Bao will make a bet. After it was done, it was also a good leader.

Moreover, Director Bao was still righteous, he not only agreed, but also created an opportunity for Gu Biao to try to get in touch with the higher-level generals of the military equipment department through Colonel Apdullah.

It definitely took a lot of effort to do this, and Gu Biao definitely couldn't handle it himself. His ability to make friends and ask for meetings with high-ranking officials and dignitaries has not yet been practiced, and it is not at all comparable to the old fritters like Director Bao, who has been tempered by the foreign affairs system for more than ten years.

There is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry.

Gu Biao can only be responsible for one kick in the door.

……

After a few days of hard work, Director Bao finally brought back good news for Gu Biao:

"Xiao Gu! There is a luncheon tomorrow, and Major General Barzan is going to inspect the armament department. I've secured a seat for you, and you have to behave - even Secretary Chen can't attend, it's just me, you, and Mina.

I have won it for a long time! Major General Barzan is the family of General Hussein! Whatever plan you have to win the friendship of those in power in Iraq, take this opportunity to say that you can definitely go up to heaven!"

The twists and turns in this, Gu Biao is not qualified to experience it personally, so he does not know the details. He could only lift his spirits and say that he would give it his all.

The next day, a lunchtime meal.

This was the day when Major General Barzan inspected the armament department of the military. Although he nominally holds the position of minister, the actual job is left to the deputy minister of the executive department - because he is too young, only in his 20s, and he usually has two other ministers, so he is not available.

"General, today there happen to be negotiators from the foreign trade department of the Chinese side. I think you might be interested in the guests from the East, so I arranged for them to accompany you to the banquet, what do you think?" said Colonel Abdullah flatteringly.

Director Bao and his entourage immediately responded with humility. Director Bao was still nervous in his heart, lest these gentlemen would be difficult to serve, and he would make a fuss at the door and not give him a chance to speak.

However, when Major General Barzan's gaze turned to them, he only frowned bored at first, and then quickly became curious.

Of course, it's not the curiosity of seeing a capable man, but the curiosity of seeing a rare pet.

He hadn't seen many Orientals, and he didn't understand why Orientals had such young foreign affairs personnel.

"How old are you?" He didn't care about diplomatic etiquette at all, and didn't greet Director Bao, but asked Gu Biao directly.

Isminaya hurriedly helped him translate.

"You too!" General Barzan added playfully, apparently referring to the question just now including the translator.

"We are both 18 years old. Gu Biao lied about his age slightly, he was afraid that no matter how young he was, he would make the other party feel despised by him.

"Can you be a foreign affairs officer at the age of 18?" Gu, are you the child of a high-ranking official in China?" Major General Barzan took it for granted that he would treat others as his own.

Gu Biao didn't realize that the topic was unfolding like this, and he suddenly felt a sense of immediacy that "Kangxi met Wei Xiaobao".

Could it be that this Major General Barzan is curious because he usually can't see high-ranking officials younger than himself?

But you also have to pay attention to officialdom etiquette, right?

However, now is obviously not the time to dwell on these, Gu Biao analyzed a little and concluded that this Major General Barzan must like to make friends with other powerful people, so he had to lie:

"My father is not a high-ranking official, just a bureau-level cadre in the industrial department. ”

In fact, even if Dad takes the position of deputy director of Qin next year, he will only be at the county level (the director of the factory is only at the deputy department level). Gu Funiu bragged a little bigger, but his tone pretended to be very humble.

Ishminaya had to carefully translate the ranks in a way that Iraqis could understand.

Unexpectedly, the other party's thinking jumped again, and he shifted his interest to the translation girl.

"Miss Translator, can you introduce yourself?"

"I am from the northwest of China. Ishminaya was a little nervous, lest she be mistaken for a local interpreter.

"Are you willing to come to our Iraq? It must be very inconvenient for you to live there. Major General Barzan's tone was not very malicient, but it was completely hyperactive.

Like all young people, he has no patience for anything, but when he sees something new, he wants to understand it - but it's just "curiosity" and nothing else.

Gu Biao knew that the situation was critical, and while Isminaya was still wearing a veil, he hurriedly forcibly changed the topic:

The traditional friendship between China and Iran is long-standing, and we are here this time to contribute to General Hussein's great cause of national defense. I heard that next month is the time for the transition of your country's presidential term, so we would like to congratulate General Hussein in advance!"

General Barzan's face was a little displeased: "Can you sell our ICBMs?"

"That'...... Of course, it's not in the plan yet. Director Bao hurriedly came out to play a round.

"I didn't ask you!" Major-General Barzan interrupted Director Bao arrogantly, he didn't bother to listen to the old foreigner's lecture. Then, he turned to Gu Biao and said proudly:

"Since you don't sell ICBMs, I don't think you can 'add to the bricks'. ”

Gu Biao said in a broken way: "It is not only force that can solve the problem. What if our scholars could produce some ironclad historical evidence that would make the atrocities committed by the Jews steal Palestine and lose their historical legitimacy? Wouldn't this be more useful than the atomic bomb? Doesn't General Hussein want to be a great hero for the entire Middle East world?"

As soon as these words came out, the banquet hall was immediately quiet.

Colonel Abdullah was the first to react: "These words are not a joke! We are not here to brag about the pedantic budget cheating people at the University of Baghdad!"

"Mr. Bao, can Mr. Gu's remarks represent your country's academic viewpoint? Does he want to say that your country's social science department has this kind of research, or does he personally have this kind of research?" Other more meticulous administrative officials also hurriedly asked.

Director Bao was also a little nervous.

Fortunately, Gu Biao rushed to speak very responsibly: "It's my personal amateur research and occasional gains, so of course it can be regarded as the research results of 'Chinese scholars', but it has never been published."

I used to study at the highest social science research university in China. The research of China Foreign Affairs University in the field of geopolitical history and geo-human history is definitely one of the best in East Asia. ”

Gu Biao didn't say anything, after all, he wanted to save face for the University of Tokyo, but Peking University didn't need to save face.

Because in these two subdivisions, the Foreign Affairs University is indeed the first in China. People have been thinking tanks in this area all their lives, professional.

Fortunately, Major General Barzan is a curious person, so after listening to Gu Wei's earth-shattering bragging, he actually had the patience to listen to it again - if there was an older, more serious Iraqi official at this moment, maybe the dialogue would end directly.

"Then you start by talking about your point of view. ”

"I can prove with irrefutable evidence that the Judah as a 'people' did not exist in themselves from an anthropological point of view. This race is the product of Judah's propaganda machine since the 18th century in order to justify their restoration of the state in Palestine. ”

Everyone almost squirted their coffee.

"Hehe—there are 4 million people there, and you say those people don't exist? Are you Aladdin?" said Major General Barzan laughing wildly.

Gu Biao stretched out a finger and shook it: "I didn't say that those people don't exist, I mean, those people are not a 'clan' at all." If General Barzan is interested in this issue......"

Gu Biao glanced at the left and right tables and felt that there were still too many people.

He stood up rudely, walked up to Major General Barzan, and said in his ear: "This is the result of my personal research, and it has nothing to do with my country. My country does not want to spoil relations with Israel. If you want to listen to concrete arguments, you can find a place with a higher level of secrecy, which is not suitable for speaking in front of these people. ”

Barzan thought for a moment with a solemn expression, and instructed Colonel Abdullah: "You, go to the University of Baghdad, and find a few at once...... What kind of fields are these, anyway, find the top professors, and arrange a secret room. ”

Then, he gave a warning to Gu Yusenran.

Ishminaya was a little scared, but translated anyway: "He said that if you lie to him, he will let you know the consequences." ”
