Chapter 836: True Intentions
Cao Xiaodong never thought that Lu Jiadong would say such an unrelated sentence, you must know that what they are talking about now is the issue of the Soviet Union's intermediaries, what does it matter if Iraq starts a war, even if they hit the dog's head out of the head, what is in the way of themselves?
"They can start any war they like, as long as they don't start a third world war, even if they all disappear from the earth, what do we care?"
Cao Xiaodong said, while taking out another cigarette, lit it very refreshingly, swallowing clouds and spitting fog, what he said was also very agreeable, Lu Jiadong was not displeased because of Cao Xiaodong's attitude, but the solemn color became more and more intense, shook his head and said:
"Xiaodong, I'm not kidding, the direction of Iraq's attack this time is completely different from what the outside world speculates!"
"Even if it's different, it's not much of a change, it's just a matter of finding a point on the Iran-Iraq border and then .......... Wrong......... Jiadong, are you saying that Iraq is ........... south?"
Cao Xiaodong waved his hand at first, but when he saw Lu Jiadong's meaningful gaze, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, combined with the recent disputes between the Gulf countries over oil exploitation, Cao Xiaodong's eyes suddenly condensed, and the surprise instantly covered the water chestnut face, and it took a while before he said three words with difficulty:
"Kuwait?"
However, as soon as the words fell, Cao Xiaodong shook his head fiercely: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, although our news is not as developed as the intelligence system of the United States and the Soviet Union, but the source is also very reliable, the target of Iraq's operation should be Iran, for which the Iranian army has entered the first level of combat readiness, these days their military attaché in China has been communicating with us, once something happens, they will purchase weapons from us on a large scale, since they have such a reaction, they must be aware of the Iraqi side!"
"Maybe, but if you want to be surprised, you have to work hard to make a fake move!"
Lu Jiadong didn't explain anything to Cao Xiaodong, just said such an intriguing sentence, sometimes people are like this, if blindly explaining and justifying can only make the other party more convinced of their beliefs, but if they say some vague words with mysterious colors, it can indeed make people have a sense of exploration, which is a strong sense of curiosity, even if the other party is an experienced hidden front worker.........
At this moment, Cao Xiaodong's eyebrows were tightly locked, obviously aroused by Lu Jiadong's words just now, but out of cautious habits, he didn't ask at the first time, but after taking two more puffs of cigarettes, he pinched the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and then raised his head, looked at Lu Jiadong with a very solemn gaze, and asked in a deep voice:
"Jiadong, did you get any news?"
"What do you think would be the consequences if Iraq did attack Kuwait south?"
Lu Jiadong did not answer Cao Xiaodong's question clearly, but asked Cao Xiaodong in an unwavering tone, which made Cao Xiaodong even more convinced that Lu Jiadong had obtained the internal situation in Iraq, otherwise the long-time friend would not have put away his trademark indifferent smile and become so preoccupied.

Thinking of this, I can't help but be shocked, as long as people who understand international politics for the first time understand that if Iraq really invades Kuwait in the south, it will anger the core interests of the United States in the Gulf, you must know that Iran, which is hostile to the United States, can be called an outcast of the international community, but Kuwait is a protectorate promised by the United States, and the invasion of Kuwait is equivalent to challenging the absolute hegemony of the United States to control the lifeline of oil in the Middle East, and it is bound to be strongly counterattacked by the Western world led by the United States.
"Jiadong, are you afraid of .........."
"That's right, it's the West that I'm worried about!" Before Cao Xiaodong finished speaking, Lu Jiadong bluntly picked up the conversation:
"The arms order we have won this time is very likely to be used in the upcoming war, if the West does not intervene, it is fine, once it intervenes, the 'Falcon' air defense missile system will play a huge role, if it causes irreparable losses, the spearhead of the Western world is very likely to point at us, and then we are afraid that our external environment will be even worse, and it may even interrupt our normal development!"
"So, you want to take this opportunity to pull the USSR to our side?"
"That's right!"
Lu Jiadong nodded and continued: "As the so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, even if the Soviet Union is now like a dying patient, it can still compete with the United States in many aspects, especially its powerful military strength and restless tsarist ambitions, because of this, after winning the bid, I will contact Buyin and make a series of interest exchanges, if nothing else, mainly to let people with a heart see all this!"
You must know that the Middle East has always been the main battlefield of the struggle between the East and the West, especially in terms of intelligence, some foreign powers have spared no effort, and Baghdad, as the heartfelt area of the Middle East, has become the city with the most frequent intelligence activities.
Under such circumstances, the Sino-Soviet joint development of a light multi-role fighter and the subsequent framework agreement on the introduction of Soviet low-altitude missile technology will inevitably be known to these countries, and on this basis, it will be inferred that China and the Soviet Union are in fact playing a double chord on the issue of arms sales to Iraq.
In short, it is to use China's hand to import the advanced technology of the Soviet Union into Iraq, so that if something happens, even if China's "Falcon" air defense missile system performs well, it will be considered to be supported by Soviet technology, and China is just changing its packaging, and the most important core technology has not been mastered at all, so that even if it cannot dispel the vigilance of the Western world, it will not make China the first hostile target of the Western world.
To tell the truth, it's not that Lu Jiadong doesn't want to hold up his arms and fight happily with the powerful West, but the real gap in national strength is like a basin of cold water, poured directly on the head of the blood surge, there is no way that the West in the 90s is too strong, the great changes in Eastern Europe, the collapse of the Soviet Union, made the Western world the undisputed winner of the Cold War.
As a dividend of the victory of the Cold War, the Western world took advantage of the situation to expand aggressively, and in the case of integrating the global market, it promoted Western values to the world, so that the Western world grabbed a lot of economic benefits at the same time, and also took the so-called "people~~~ Lord" as the standard to measure the world, pointing fingers everywhere, showing off its might, it can be said that the entire 90s is the era of the West, and anyone must bow their heads and endure it, otherwise it will be a carrot and a stick;
China at this time is the economic climbing period, the initial results of the reform and opening up, although China's national strength has been greatly improved, but in the face of the heyday of the Western world is still not enough to see, so the Western world does not take China in their eyes, always think that this ancient Oriental country has been living in ignorance and poverty, even if there are occasional flash of surprise, but compared with the West that is far ahead in technology, it is still a few years or even decades behind.
It's just that this kind of sense may be shattered because of the Gulf War, and others don't know, but Lu Jiadong knows very well what the combat capability of the "Falcon" air defense missile system is, even if it can't stop the powerful offensive of the Western world in the "Desert Storm," but it has the ability to keep a peaceful harbor in the overwhelming offensive.
For this reason, the Western world, which is likely to suffer unprecedented losses and lose face, will inevitably regard the "Falcon" air defense missile system as a severe test, and China, the country that developed it, will also have a new understanding of the new surface-to-air missile technology that it represents.
Since China has the ability to easily shoot down even first-class Western fighters, and has more advanced weapons and equipment, if China is allowed to develop like this, it will definitely become a fierce rival of the Western world, and it is precisely for this reason that it must interrupt China's development momentum and nip advanced military technology in the bud no matter what.
At that time, China will be under all-round pressure from the Western world, and the external threat will rise sharply, so as to exhaust its national strength in the hostility with the West and become the next Soviet Union, so it has to find a shield, and this shield is nothing else, it is the Soviet Union at the other pole of the world, anyway, under the internal and external difficulties, the Soviet Union has a lot of troubles, as the so-called debts are not pressed, lice are not afraid of bites, and such troubles are nothing, anyway, they will be liquidated by the West, so it doesn't matter if they add another one in the end...........
Cao Xiaodong, as a senior officer of the Second Bureau of the General Staff, is naturally not an ordinary person, and after listening to Lu Jiadong's words, he can naturally figure out the joints, you must know that he is one of the few "falcons" One of the officers of the General Staff of the Air Defense Missile System who is full of confidence, although he is not sure that Iraq will really invade Kuwait in the face of the world's condemnation, but looking at Lu Jiadong's serious appearance, he also believes seven or eight points in his heart, as the saying goes, before winning and losing, anyway, plan for the worst first, only in this way can he advance and retreat freely and be invincible, thinking of this, Cao Xiaodong nodded:
"Avoid its edge, keep quiet and obscure, take advantage of the favorable opportunity for the Western world to digest the spoils left by the Soviet Union, and develop yourself well, since you have seen it through, then do so, as long as some conditions are not excessive, you can also promise them, as for the superior leaders, I will go back and explain to them!"
"Okay, that's for you!"
Listening to Cao Xiaodong's words, Lu Jiadong's face finally showed an indifferent smile, and his sharp eyes also burst out with eager battle intent at this moment............ (To be continued.) )
