Chapter 460: General Asherev!
"Boss, I'm sorry, but Moscow is so far away that we have to pick you up by helicopter." Jair explained.
"Helicopters are helicopters, but the question is, why do you use helicopter gunships? Is this a show off that you guys are doing well in the USSR? If it weren't for the lack of a runway, would you still want to fly the fighters? Jiang Gufeng said speechlessly.
Jerle scratched his head, a little crying and laughing.
With a strong air current, the two gunships slowly rose, turned around in a dashing manner, and flew towards the northeast. But even with the helicopter degree, Lin Yu and the others sat dry for more than three hours before they arrived at their final destination, Moscow.
In the USSR at the end of the 80s, a cart of watermelons could be exchanged for a tank, and in a previous life, this was not an unusual thing at all. At this time, although the chaos in the USSR was not so serious. However, Lin Yu believed. As long as there is a seam in the egg, you can always bite into it. With this identity, he was able to ensure his actions in the Soviet Union.
After all, during this period, Sino-Soviet relations had just begun to break the ice. With great fanfare, the Soviet authorities would most likely notice themselves.
After all, in this era, the KGB of the Soviet Union was the world's most famous intelligence organization.
And when Lin Yu had just arrived in the Soviet Union, Britain's Margaret Thatcher had already negotiated terms with Iran.
Iran will order 8 billion arms from the United Kingdom, and the United Kingdom has guaranteed that the first batch of arms will reach Iran before the arms purchased by Iraq.
After receiving Mrs. Thatcher's affirmative reply, the Iranian liaison immediately contacted their leader Khomeini, and at this time, the top level of the Iranian government was not moved, and they did not hesitate, Khomeini immediately sent a representative to Britain to sign the contract.
And what about this representative's identity? It was also a high-ranking military officer, and it was obvious that they were going to work against Iraq, and they had secretly decided that this procurement would not have to be low for Iraq.
Of course, in addition to the matter of contacting the British about arms, the Iranian government also issued a statement immediately, saying that Iran firmly opposes France's arms sales to Iraq, and that France's move has broken the limit of Iran's patience, and they have decided that France will not be able to get Iranian oil in the future, nor will it buy any French goods, and Iran will not have any intersection with France, and permanently break off diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Although this vicious statement is very serious, France does not take it to heart at all, and for France anyway, it does not import much Iranian oil, so it will not cause any losses.
Moreover, Iran is not the only oil producer in this world, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and even Iraq do not have the oil reserves that are less than it.
Then, like an Iraqi officer going to France, the Iranian representative quickly met with Margaret Thatcher, and the two reached a consensus on a number of issues and signed some cooperation documents.
The $8 billion in arms purchases has once again ignited a raging fire in the hearts of the world's arms giants, and those who can't get it, such as the families and consortia behind the United States, have been urging the government to act quickly and help them win the market.
And what you can get is starting to make your own calculations, such as Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Canada, and even countries like South Africa and Australia.
Britain is off to a good start, that's what these arms dealers think, as for why not France?
Very simply, anyone who knows a little history knows that among the Western powers, the most alternative country is France, after the war, France was almost communist, and then Soxìng was decisively saved by President de Gaulle, and it was the only country in the traditional capitalist powers of the West after the war that was bordered between communism and capitalism, which is one of them.
The second point is alternative, that is, France took the lead in the nationalization of the capital of the Sī people after the war, and many Sī large enterprises and large banks were nationalized, and it was at this time that the assets of the Rothschild family, such as railways, mines, some military industries, and banks were gradually nationalized, so once asked, which country the Rothschild family hated the most, then it would definitely say that it was France.
The third point is alternative, France is the least avid to the United States. In order to resist the United States, France, together with the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, the Federal Republic of Germany, and Luxembourg, took the lead in starting the European Coal and Steel Community, opening the prelude to the European Community, and then gradually developed into the common market they wanted to establish.
Although it joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organization organized by the United States in the early stage, with the successful development of France's nuclear weapons and the explosion of hydrogen bombs and atomic bombs, France began to break free from the control of the United States and opposed the United States everywhere in the international community.
Moreover, what puzzles the United States the most is that it also became the first Western capitalist power to establish diplomatic relations with China during the Cold War, recognizing the People's Republic of China, and only a few capitalist countries such as France and Switzerland have established a relationship with China.
Moreover, France also had a period of peaceful relations with the Soviet Union, and even invited Khrushchev to visit France in the 60s, which was unimaginable to the United States at that time.
Finally, what makes the Americans most aggrieved is that it once withdrew from NATO, although it later joined again, but, obviously, it is very insincere, it completely treats NATO as a place where it can come and go whenever it wants, and yet, despite this, the United States still blindly tolerates it, although people do not know why.
So, for these arms dealers, France is in opposition, and they understand it very well, but Britain has done it, and that cannot be regarded as good news for them.
An arms feast that will affect the world is about to begin, who is the biggest winner in the end? People are looking forward to it.
Of course, how could this feast of arms division be without the Soviet Union? In the history of Su Rui's previous life, the United States and the Soviet Union were the biggest and second largest beneficiaries of this war, respectively.
Now, why did the Soviet Union do nothing? Or does it have an action that outsiders don't know?
This has also become the scope of curiosity of international arms dealers, they need to determine the actions of the Soviet Union, because, compared to the Soviet Union, the size of their company is far from enough, only after the Soviet Union determines who is his buyer, they will consider another family, after all, there are really few companies that can do business with the United States and the Soviet Union, and now that the United States has temporarily withdrawn, the Soviet Union will become a big brother.
Just when the international arms dealers were looking forward to the actions of the Soviet Union, a news suddenly came, which made the major international arms dealers stunned, and then there was a burst of ecstasy.
Because the Iraqi government announced that it would never buy weapons from the Soviet Union, the Iraqi press spokesman explained that the Soviet Union, like the United States, originally supported it, but secretly sold weapons to Iran.
As a direct consequence of this statement, the USSR was angry!
Immediately afterwards, Soviet supreme leader Mikhail Gorbachev said at an emergency meeting that the Soviet Union denied Iraq's claims and would protest against Iraq's slanderous rhetoric.
At the same time, General Secretary Gorbachev urgently summoned the Iranian embassy in the Soviet Union and expressed his willingness to provide Iran with weapons at a negotiable price.
As for why the Soviet Union secretly sold weapons on both sides, but did not fall into a crisis like the United States, it is obvious that the Soviet system was in place.
Although Gorbachev said so, it was rejected by the Iranian ambassador.
And just after Iraq and Iran successively rejected Soviet arms, Lin Yu also went to visit a Soviet army general.
The group hurriedly boarded the military vehicle, and after turning two streets, the car entered a military restricted area. This is where the General Staff of the USSR is located. As the deputy chief of the General Staff, Ashelev is also qualified to live here.
At this time, the Soviet Union, although there was some chaos. However, it was not as chaotic as it was a few years later. The military and government systems are still operating efficiently. The mood of the people though has. However, it did not reach the level of an explosion. At the moment, it is still accumulating.
At this time, Comrade Yeltsin, who single-handedly contributed to the disintegration of the Soviet Union, was only a member of the CPSU Central Committee who had just been appreciated by Gorbachev. Alternate member of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the CPSU of the First Secretary of the City of Moscow.
However, in October next year, Comrade Yeltsin, who is most respected by the Soviet people, will be rushed to the first chairman of the construction committee by Comrade Lao Ge. Thinking of Yeltsin's fate, Lin Yu felt a little funny, a dignified alternate member of the Politburo of the Central Committee went to the first chairman of the Construction Committee, which is also too much material.
There is no Comrade Lao Ye who is making waves in Russia. At this time, the Soviet political system was still barely stable. That is, a few years later, with the gradual strengthening of Comrade Lao Ye, the cadres of the Soviet military and political circles began to endanger themselves. And gradually corrupted, to the point where they dare to take anything and sell everything.
The car stopped at the door of a Soviet-style villa, and when Lin Yu got out of the car, he saw an old man with gray hair at the door, greeted him with a smile on his face, and Lin Yu hurriedly greeted him, but before Lin Yu could speak, Asherev stretched out his hand to Lin Yu and smiled: "Welcome, Mr. Lin, it's a pleasure to meet you." Ashellev Yegrov's hand, Lin Yu greeted calmly. That calm temperament made Yegrove on the other side can't help but shine. sighed secretly, "Sure enough, he is worthy of being from a big family." ”
I have to say that now Lin Yu has long been comparable to the little wage earner in his previous life, and the mediocre temperament of the past has long been gone. Although Lin Yu has not paid attention to it, and he has not been able to change anything, but after contacting so many high-ranking people, everything has quietly changed unconsciously.
