Chapter 129, only the east wind is owed

The Russian military envoy came as scheduled, and the place of the negotiations was also set up at the Basra International Hotel, and after the two sides took their seats, there was no embarrassing situation from the last time, and the general content was determined, almost all of which were formulated in the last negotiations, and Russia will continue to fulfill the previous terms and conditions, and at the same time, it will also give Basra actual military support.

That is to say, in the future, Basra's arms contract will still be purchased at half price, and there is no need to pay a deposit, and at the same time, Russia will export technology to Basra to help Basra build an advanced arsenal, and the only one, that is, the recently launched aircraft carrier Peter the Great is stationed in Basra Port, and the Russian military cannot agree to it for the time being.

After all, this aircraft carrier has cost the Russian military no less than six billion dollars, and it will definitely become the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet in the future, and will become the main maritime combat platform for the Russian Navy to deter Europe.

But Canglong felt that this was not the main reason why the Russians were unwilling to send this aircraft carrier, but because Russia was not yet willing to break with the United States in an all-round way, otherwise, the Russians would have been able to send the Black Sea Fleet directly.

The main purpose is to deal with the US Sixth Fleet stationed in the Mediterranean, and after this aircraft carrier is built, it will become a flagship, and it will be able to compete with the US Sixth Fleet stationed in the Mediterranean; if it is transferred to the Persian Gulf, not to mention the empty Black Sea, it will open Russia's southwestern gateway widely, and at the same time, the Black Sea Fleet will face the US Fifth Fleet stationed in the capital of Bahrain in the Persian Gulf.

The Persian Gulf is smaller than the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea are still so far apart, but if Russia moves the entire Black Sea Fleet over, it will be tantamount to a direct confrontation with the US Fifth Fleet.

Moreover, Basra is not a country, but only a province, and it is still nominally constrained by the central government, and if the central government of Iraq does not allow the Russian Black Sea Fleet to enter the port of Basra, Russia will be tantamount to an invasion, and it will be untenable in the eyes of world public opinion in the first place.

On this point, Basra has no say, after all, they did not declare their secession from the central government.

Out of this consideration, the Russians' plan was not wrong, but Canglong insisted that this aircraft carrier come to Basra Port, so the negotiations reached a stalemate, Ivanovich didn't expect Canglong to be so unreasonable, the aircraft carrier that had just been launched, and even the sea trials were not carried out, how could it be possible to drive here?

What's more, now is not the time to directly confront the Americans, Canglong should understand, even the top of the Prophet Army knows this very well, but why is Canglong in a hurry to get the Peter the Great?

No one knows what he thinks, anyway, Canglong finally bit it, and came up with a surprising strategy: "You can use the guise of sea trials to drive into the Persian Gulf, the big deal is not to hang weapons and carrier-based aircraft, not even frigates and destroyers, and when you get to the Persian Gulf, you will use the excuse of refueling, and at the same time enter Basra to refuel, and at the same time make a friendly visit by the way, so that the central government is not easy to say anything, he said that we don't want to bird him, and finally under the pretext that because of the war, it will be unsafe for the aircraft carrier to leave the Persian Gulf, and he will not leave." ”

Ivanovich and the Russian military envoys thought that the dragon was crazy, and the newly launched aircraft carrier was unarmed and sailed through the Red Sea, across the Indian Ocean to the Persian Gulf, which was really unbelievable, although they all knew very well that no one would be stupid enough to sink the newly launched aircraft carrier.

After all, Canglong said very clearly, do not carry weapons, nor carry carrier-based aircraft, but this is equivalent to a big sandbag at sea, others want to scout you, want to fly over your head, you are helpless, the most important thing is to save face, Russia is such a big country, in case the head of that small country is not right, send fighter jets to your head a few times, spread to the world, the Russian Navy will lose face.

"No, absolutely not." Ivanovich said that there must be no concessions on the issue of face, Russia has already lost so much face, and now it cannot afford to lose this person.

"Then bring a supply ship and a frigate, plus a few experimental carrier-based aircraft, if it really doesn't work, then get a few more submarines, and see who dares to come close with nothing to do." Canglong came up with another plan.

Ivanovich felt that this was much better than the previous one, but if it was a sea trial, then these guards would indeed be enough, but Ivanovich was still worried that something would go wrong, in case the head of a country had the wrong nerves and ordered to sink the aircraft carrier, wouldn't they be at a loss?

Seeing his concerns, Canglong threw out another condition: "If it is sunk, count it as mine." ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at Canglong in surprise, this is an aircraft carrier with a cost of up to six billion US dollars, sold to Russia for more than seven billion US dollars, how rich Canglong is, he actually said that being sunk is his, although everyone knows that the risk of being sunk is very low, and it is mainly a matter of face, but throwing out such a condition, Ivanovich was a little moved.

Anyway, in the end, such ocean-going sea trials will be carried out, and it is possible to do so now, so Ivanovich put forward his own conditions: "Peter the Great cannot stay in the port of Basra, at least not until the time is ripe, a friendly visit is possible, and all the costs of this visit must be borne by the shipyard." ”

Ivanovich is asking for money in disguise, the Russian Navy is experimenting with aircraft carriers, and it is unreasonable to let Canglong pay for them, but surprisingly, Canglong actually agreed: "I can reimburse you for all the expenses of this visit, and I don't require you to stay in Basra Port, you can withdraw if you want, as long as you can strategically deter Iran, it is enough." ”

"Now that all the agreements have been negotiated, let's sign the treaty." Ivanovich finally relaxed, and at the same time, the high-level leaders of the two sides also shook hands one after another, and they seemed relaxed, from now on, they are friends, although they are not comrades-in-arms, but sooner or later the title will change.

Soryu signed his name and stamped the agreement, and Ivanovich also signed his name, the first agreement signed since they cooperated, and the largest agreement, the fastest negotiated military alliance in history.

Ivanovich did not stay too long, he chose to leave Basra directly, his identity is sensitive, if he continues to stay here, in case it is known, there will be unnecessary trouble, after all, this military alliance is signed secretly, because Basra is only a province, not a country, once it is exposed, Russia is suspected of splitting Iraq.

And now Canglong has no intention of really breaking away from the central government, and he also plans to include the whole of Iraq in the territory, how can he be so reckless to force the Americans to be anxious?

"You're spending so much money to fool the Russians' new aircraft carrier, you won't just let them go around in a circle, right?" When there were only two people left, Su Su suddenly asked, if the Russians knew Canglong enough, they would find that Canglong was actually a person who did not pull out a dime.

Taking the money from him will definitely have to pay the price of several times the original value of the money, but the Russians seem to be in the dark.

Canglong smiled and said, "Of course, when this aircraft carrier came here, I didn't plan to let it go." ”

"What do you mean?" Su Su couldn't understand, he had just signed a military alliance agreement, and now he was planning to detain someone else's aircraft carrier, what kind of trouble was this?

"Don't worry, I'm definitely not stupid enough to detain the aircraft carrier for my own use, I will let the Russians take the initiative to keep the aircraft carrier here and call me honestly, do you believe it or not?" Canglong said with a smile.

"I don't believe it." Su Su said very decisively, "The Russians are not stupid, may they leave an aircraft carrier that has not formed combat effectiveness here for you to use as a target?" Moreover, the Americans' Fifth Fleet is not vegetarian, and in the face of the absolute superiority of the Americans, the Russians will not stay here no matter how stupid they are. ”

"Bet on what?" Canglong said directly.

Su Su hesitated, looking at Canglong's confident appearance, he really couldn't hold his mind, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Bet on my salary for a year." ”

"Huh." Canglong stared at him and smiled, "If you lose, you will work for nothing, and if I lose, I will not fight this war with Iran." ”

"Really?" Su Su looked surprised.

"As a leader, of course, you have to say a lot, words don't count, how can you come out and mix in the future?" Canglong smiled and said, "But I can tell you, you are doomed, wait for a year to do nothing." ”

Su Su also came to the momentum: "If you can really fool the Russians into obedience, why don't I work for a year in vain?" I'm afraid that you will really play tricks on me at that time, and I will have nothing to do with you anyway. ”

Canglong didn't want to explain anything, but said, "Let's go, go to Basra Port and have a look." ”

Then the two left the intelligence service, dealt with the Russians, and they were all set, and all they needed was an east wind.

After Canglong and Su Su went around the port of Basra, they went back and lifted the sea ban, so that the fishermen of Basra could go out to sea to fish, and the coast guard was responsible for safety.

This is a surprising thing in Basra, considering that the Iranian Navy is still blocking the coastline, isn't this allowing the broken boats of Basra fishermen and coast guards to ram into people's guns?

But whoever put forward an opinion, it was directly vetoed by Canglong, in Canglong's words, operating in our own territorial waters, do we still need the permission of the Iranian Navy?

Moreover, Canglong also added a layer of security, if the Iranian Navy dares to make any dangerous moves against the Basra fishing boat, the Air Force will immediately dispatch.

As soon as these words came out, everyone understood what Canglong wanted to do, and the Iranians probably never thought that Canglong was not as afraid of war as they imagined, but was actively seeking war, that is to say, the east wind owed by Canglong was the active provocation of the Iranian Navy
