Chapter 800: The Predetermined Competition
Listening to Lu Jiadong's words, Tong Wenlie and Song Xiaoxu were very puzzled, not because of anything else, it was the meter-wave radar in Lu Jiadong's mouth just now, although the two of them were a little dizzy these days, but their heads were still clear, and they knew very well that there had never been a device called meter-wave radar in their research and development list.........
"Mr. Lu, what did you just say......... What's the case with the meter-wave radar?"
"Didn't I tell you?"
Seeing Tong Wenlie and Song Xiaoxu, who were a little dazed, Lu Jiadong was a little surprised, and the two who were swept by Lu Jiadong's surprised gaze were also stunned, and immediately glanced at each other, and then looked at Lu Jiadong like a monster, and shook his head in unison:
"Nope!"
Lu Jiadong was also stunned, and asked in disbelief: "I really don't have any?"
"Absolutely not!" Song Xiaoxu replied very resolutely this time, and Tong Wenlie on the side showed concern and asked Lu Jiadong:
"Mr. Lu, are you feeling unwell? or I'll send you back to rest............
Tong Wenlie wanted to continue talking, but Lu Jiadong stretched out his hand to stop him, and then shook his head self-deprecatingly, muttering with a little annoyance:
"It's okay, it's okay........ They are all two-faced Iraqis, who always like to cause trouble, and without them, they will not be confused, so that I can't remember what I said before, blame me, blame me..........."
Listening to Lu Jiadong's self-blame for no reason, Tong Wenlie and Song Xiaoxu couldn't help but be a little flustered, and hurriedly tried to persuade them, but they were still stopped by Lu Jiadong, and even briefly explained some things that happened after the last demonstration meeting of the new air defense missile system........
It turned out that as soon as the meeting entered the second half of the day, Sharif hurriedly found Lu Jiadong with Musharraf's urgent telegram, and when he unfolded it, Lu Jiadong's whole heart sank, and the telegram was very short, but the content was shocking:
"Iraq intends to terminate the initialling agreement with us and to introduce a system similar to that of the Soviet Union. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
In the face of such a sudden change, Lu Jiadong naturally cannot sit idly by, you must know that Iraq is the testing ground and testing base for the new air defense missile system delineated by Lu Jiadong, and throughout the next ten years, there will be no better guinea pig than Iraq, and such a precious experimental species cannot be given up in any way;
So, Lu Jiadong did not hesitate to terminate the meeting, hurriedly left Shencheng, and rushed to Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, to discuss countermeasures with Musharraf and Prince Khalid and other partners.......
You must know that the new air defense missile missile system is regarded by the two countries as a symbol of the rise of politics ~~, especially Saudi Arabia, a country with a transcendent status in the Arab world, does not want to sit firmly in the hegemony of the Arab world all the time, but for so many years, in addition to the continuous underground oil in exchange for a large amount of money, such as industrialization, the field of marketization has always been difficult;
Especially in the field of military industry, there is no strong support commensurate with its status, so that Saudi Arabia is nothing more than a fat big fat sheep in the eyes of the world, except for a little vote, there is nothing else commendable, and international politics is precisely where the reality lies.
Especially when friendly countries need strong support, a strong fist can not only stabilize the order of the country, but also lend the fist in the form of military assistance, and then sit behind the scenes until fame and fortune are gained.........
It is precisely because of the strong relationship that Saudi Arabia has always dreamed of having such a "fist", so when Pakistan informed Saudi Arabia of the development of a new air defense missile system in conjunction with China, Saudi Arabia felt that this was an excellent opportunity to have a ruthless "fist", and Iraq, which is an extremely important strategic position in the Middle East and bears the bridgehead of the Shiites in Iran, is the best target for Saudi Arabia to use its "fist".
Therefore, Saudi Arabia spared no effort to broker the Iraqi government to purchase new air defense missile systems, in order to use arms exports to control Iraq's armaments while further deepening its influence in the Arab world..........
After learning about the attitude of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, Lu Jiadong was also a little relieved, so he jointly put pressure on Iraq, thinking that this matter was basically easy to catch, after all, the status of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan in the Arab world is not low, even if the legal effect of the initialling agreement is not high, but under the pressure of the two Arab gods, Iraq has to give in;
Unexpectedly, Iraq not only withstood the joint pressure of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, but also had an extremely tough attitude, and after several contacts, the representatives of the two countries returned in vain, and it was only at this time that everyone discovered that the Soviet Union, which was originally standing behind Iraq, had been coercing and luring Iraq.
Let it give up the new air defense missile system, otherwise, the spare parts of many Soviet-style equipment in Iraq will be interrupted immediately, you must know that more than 80% of the Iraqi army is Soviet-style equipment, once the spare parts are interrupted, the Iraqi army will be paralyzed in an instant, which is still in confrontation with Iran, Iraq can not afford it at all, so it will grit its teeth and resist the pressure of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan!
Upon learning of this situation, Saudi Arabia was deeply affected, and only felt that this was a deliberate provocation by the Soviet Union, and this also made Saudi Arabia, which was already anti-Soviet, even more determined, to take down the order for Iraq's air defense missile system no matter what, so Saudi Arabia sent his biggest hole card - money offensive!
The eight-year Iran-Iraq war has directly turned Iraq, which is rich in armor, into a debt-ridden one, and the biggest financier of this is none other than Saudi Arabia, so Saudi Arabia resolutely united with Kuwait, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and other Gulf countries to set up the so-called "Iraq Debt Settlement Committee" to force Iraq to repay the loan as soon as possible in a very short period of time;
On the other hand, he also hinted that as long as Iraq accepts the new air defense missile system, it can postpone repayment, reduce interest, and may even get more financial support..........
"Of course, the pressure of the Soviet Union, Iraq can not ignore it, so in the case that neither side can offend, Iraq simply fought a ring, has been tendered, let us face off with the Soviet air defense system, so as to push the political factors to the technology, these days, I almost broke my leg in the Middle East for this matter, so that I can't remember what I said before..........."
"I see!"
After listening to Lu Jiadong's narration, Tong Wenlie and Song Xiaoxu were also suddenly, although Lu Jiadong said it very simply, but the two of them could feel that the complexity has long exceeded ordinary people's imagination, after all, the international arms trade is different from ordinary foreign trade exports, which involves politics, military, diplomacy, commerce, National interests and other factors are simply incalculable, and ordinary people will feel their scalps tingle even if they look at it, and it is extremely rare for Lu Jiadong to be able to maintain the first-line vitality of the new air defense system in Iraq under such a chaotic and complicated situation, and it is normal to forget some things........
"By the way, since we are going to compete with the Soviet air defense system, the time should be determined, right?" Although Tong Wenlie and Song Xiaoxu understood, Lu Jiadong's previous words still made the two of them feel worried, and after looking at each other, Tong Wenlie finally asked the key question, and Lu Jiadong also smiled and nodded:
"It's confirmed!"
"When?"
"March '90!"
"In March next year, this ..........."
Hearing this, Song Xiaoxu and Tong Wenlie's faces suddenly darkened, and Lu Jiadong saw that the two of them looked wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong?"
When Lu Jiadong asked, Song Xiaoxu and Tong Wenlie's sad faces became even stronger, and after a slight sigh, they said a word, and reported the development situation during this period to Lu Jiadong in its original form, and after listening, Lu Jiadong also frowned:
"I didn't expect it to be the anti-stealth radar stuck here, it seems that this pit is a bit dug up!"
Song Xiaoxu and Tong Wenlie listened to Lu Jiadong's words, and then looked at his frowning brows, thinking that even Lu Jiadong had no good way, so their already gloomy expressions were even more gloomy, and finally Song Xiaoxu, who had a good relationship with Lu Jiadong, said bluntly:
"If it is really a competitive display with the Soviet air defense system in March next year, I'm afraid our scheduled radar group will not be completed, it really can't work, I suggest removing the anti-stealth part, otherwise, I'm afraid it's too late!"
"Yes, Mr. Lu!" As soon as Song Xiaoxu's voice fell, Tong Wenlie agreed: "In terms of anti-stealth, we are inexperienced, if we blindly waste time in this area, we may have to give up the big cake of Iraq first..........
"No experience, no foundation, how is it possible?"
didn't wait for Tong Wenlie to finish speaking, Lu Jiadong took the conversation with a smile, and these words made Tong Wenlie and Song Xiaoxu very stunned, but before the two of them could come back to their senses, the words that shocked the two even more came out of Lu Jiadong's mouth:
"Meter-wave radar, the first generation of radar in our country, if we don't even have this foundation and experience, then these radars we use now are all .......... from there" (to be continued.) )
