"After a few days of attacking, the warriors of the Revolutionary Guards were approaching the Shatt al-Arab, and in front of the reporters was a fortified area of the infidel Iraqis, which was heavily defended and equipped with tanks and other heavy equipment, and we were banging and banging"

At the front of a position, a group of war correspondents from Iranian state television, with the cooperation of the cameraman, were preparing to record the next offensive and defensive battles of the position, but their movements were really a bit big, attracting the attention of the Iraqi defenders on the opposite side, so the heavy machine guns poured out blazing tongues of fire, and the mortars were even more costly to smash at them

At the same time, Ahmadinejad, the commander of the Iranian mixed armored battalion, who had been watching every move of the Iraqi position with a high-powered telescope, saw this scene, immediately put down the telescope, grabbed the radio in his hand, and said loudly:

"Artillery, we can start!"

As soon as Ahmadinejad's voice fell, the six Type 82 52 caliber 155mm howitzers deployed in the rear let out an earth-shattering roar, and in the blink of an eye, the huge heavy artillery shells with the roar of death blew up the Iraqi defensive array in front of them into a sea of fire, and the war reporters who were suppressed in the trenches, watching their own artillery power, suddenly seemed to be beaten with chicken blood, and pulled the cameraman next to him to record this very precious scene:

"Our artillery has fought back, and the sound of the loud explosion has made my eardrums hurt, but it also proves the power of this artillery. It is understood that this artillery is equipped with a new ammunition, which played a huge role in the recent defensive battle of Khoram Shahr, and even the invincible Iraqi soldiers exclaimed that it was 'Death Steel Rain'.

said. The reporter motioned to the cameraman to point the camera at the Iraqi position in front, and through the extremely shaky lens, the Iraqi position, as if baptized by waves of pouring rain, the sound of fried bean-like explosions blew the entire Iraqi position into a dead silence:

"This is the 'rain of steel of death', this is Allah's punishment for the outreaches"

The war correspondent couldn't stop sighing, but at this moment. The ground beneath his feet began to tremble violently, and the roar in his ears made him feel an invisible sense of oppression. But instead of being afraid, the war correspondent's eyes lit up. Quickly picked up the microphone and said excitedly:

"Our tanks, our tanks, this is simply the best gift from Allah to us, brand new tanks, world-class tanks, tanks that terrify Iraqi infidels are so beautiful. It's too powerful. Seriously, I really want to go up and kiss it."

"Friends, it's dangerous here, you better stay back!"

Just as the war correspondent was praising the tanks of the Iranian mixed armored battalion slowly advancing with excited words, the battalion commander Ahmadinejad's car suddenly stopped beside him, and the camera lens suddenly recorded the majestic, tall, and unstoppable posture of the new tank, accompanied by the reporter's uncontrollable excited words:

"No! With you and these tanks around, I feel safe. It's more reassuring than leaning against a stone wall, I didn't expect it, this is our tank, it's amazing, I see victory when I see it"

"You too can witness victory!"

Ahmadinejad replied lightly, and then motioned to the cameraman to point at the two Iraqi T-72 tanks that appeared in front of them, but when they just emerged, the two new tanks in front of them suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar, only to see that the two T-72 tanks turned into skyrocketing fireballs before they could react

In the evening of the same day, this precious battlefield video was broadcast on Iranian state television, and within an hour, the surrounding national media that could receive Iranian television signals were broadcast one after another, and then this television picture quickly spread to all parts of the world like a virus, and immediately became the focus of world public opinion in conjunction with the battle of Khorramshahr City

"Iran's high-profile display of these advanced weapons and equipment proves that Iran has strengthened its determination to solve the current dilemma by military means, and it can be seen from the television footage that their heavy artillery is very powerful, and the new tanks are even more powerful than the existing Iraqi tanks."

"The new tank that easily destroyed the T-72 tank refused to be produced in a certain East Asian country, and the reporter tried to contact insiders in that country, but was refused to be interviewed."

"Compared to the new tanks, the so-called 'rain of death steel' is likely to have been the decisive piece of equipment in the battle of Khorramshahr, according to the accounts of Iraqi Republican Guard soldiers who participated in the battle, when their armored units were severely damaged by this weapon

"According to the interpretation of military experts, this weapon should be a new weapon that attacks the top armor of the tank, and some experts say that it should be a new missile, but in any case, the emergence of this new equipment may rewrite the basic principles of armored warfare."

Within a few days, the Associated Press, Reuters, Agence France-Presse, BBC and other mainstream media in the world took this scene as the focus of their reporting, and the clips taken from it became the material that TV critics were keen to display, and the paper media such as newspapers and magazines were not far behind.

For a time, eye-catching headlines such as "New Tanks Dominate the Desert," "New Weapons to Subvert the Principles of Warfare," "The Nightmare of Armored Clusters," and "New Weapons in the Battle of Khorramshahr" appeared on the front pages of major mainstream newspapers, making the new equipment from a certain country in East Asia a hot topic of discussion among people all over the world after dinner.

However, compared with the media's pursuit of the wind, the military and intelligence agencies of various countries are much more reliable, and the so-called East Asian country was quickly identified as China. In order to obtain first-hand information about China's new weapons and equipment, the television footage captured by Iranian state television has also become an important object of careful study by the military and military industry experts of various countries.

However, it is in the media that there is a lot of coverage. As well as the in-depth research of the military of various countries, the popularity of China's weapons and equipment instantly spread all over the world, especially the TV pictures that are comparable to Hollywood war blockbusters, but more realistic than movies, which make people with hearts have an irrepressible impulse.

In less than half a month, delegations from Argentina, Egypt, Sri Lanka, and even some Western countries were like migratory birds. Groups came to China, a so-called East Asian country, and began to negotiate the procurement of relevant tanks and cooperation. Soon, orders for new tanks and the Magic 59 "Jaguar" tank were placed on the snowflakes of the two tank manufacturers, Wanshan Machinery Factory and North Machinery Factory.

And among the many orders. The largest is Pakistan. Just a week after the end of the battle of Khorramshahr, Musharraf was reappointed by the new Pakistani government as chief of the general staff, and led a delegation to visit China, and soon the two sides signed a large purchase order for 100 new tanks and 300 Mogai 59 "Jaguar" tanks, and at the same time, they also planned to introduce supporting production lines and technologies for new tanks for their own production, and the total value of the entire contract exceeded 10 billion US dollars.

Although in the communiqué issued by the two countries, this large order was interpreted as a continuation of the previous Sino-Pakistani joint tank development project. But those in the know know that Pakistan was forced to respond to India's plan to raise its armoured forces. Just as Lu Jiadong analyzed at the beginning, India is very concerned about the new tank jointly developed by China and Pakistan.

After seeing the outstanding performance of this tank on the battlefield between Iran and Iraq, it was even more like a pins and needles, only feeling that the fragile India-Pakistani balance would be broken, for this reason, invested heavily in improving the strength of its own armored forces, and the new Pakistani government, which temporarily froze this project, saw India's new moves, immediately abandoned the domestic political analysis, quickly united together, not only reinstated Musharraf, but also restarted the new tank program, so there is this 10 billion US dollars level of big orders, and there are many similar things。

It was only at this time that the discerning eye discovered that the battlefield television footage filmed by Iranian state television was a propaganda method to deter Iraq and improve domestic morale, and it was clearly a free advertising film for China's weapons and equipment.

Not only did it make a lot of fanfare, but it also made China's military enterprises smoothly publicize their products without spending a penny, and then supplemented by the good reputation obtained on the battlefield, so as to implement an extremely perfect product marketing, and then let many arms manufacturers, while sighing to help their opponents, also began to seriously learn this kind of moisturizing and silent marketing methods.

Among them is Lu Jiadong's opponent, now an old acquaintance, the biggest domestic competitor of the French Thomson Technology Company, the director of the new product public relations department of the French Dassault Defense Company, Hollande, at this moment, the two of them who have been separated for a long time, once again in the high-end hotel in Beirut, Lebanon, held hands tightly, Colonel Hollande, who was once dressed in desert camouflage, is now wearing a well-cut suit, which looks more extraordinary, but it is the same as when he saw Lu Jiadong in Iran, he still gave Lu Jiadong a thumbs up, and said with admiration:

"Dear Lou, I thought you were a master strategist, but I didn't expect you to be a god of business, the war coverage of Iranian state television is a model of arms sales, and we at Dassault Defense should learn from you." )
