Chapter 153, can't refuse

If the Prophet's army continues to occupy Basra, it means that the war is not over, which is absolutely unacceptable to the Revolutionary Guards, who would rather continue the war than have their land divided.

Because this would be tantamount to the submission of the Revolutionary Guards to the Prophetic Army, and although they were defeated, the continued occupation would make the Iranian people extremely disgusted with the incompetence of the government and weaken the authority of the Revolutionary Guards and the Supreme Spiritual Leader.

So the negotiations were at a stalemate for a while, and of course Canglong would not withdraw, but if there were enough interests, he would still consider them, such as his ultimate goal.

"If your Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini is willing to come and negotiate with me, I may give in, and if he doesn't want to come to Basra, then forget it, we're happy to keep it as it is." Canglong said with a smile.

The war is over, they won, the compensation has been obtained, and they still occupy other people's oil provinces to extract their oil all the time, such a good thing, as soon as the army is withdrawn, it will be gone, and the ghost is willing to withdraw the army.

So the negotiations broke down at this point, the Iranian envoy went back, Ali Daei didn't stay long, the two regions are in this state, even if the relationship is good, they have to avoid suspicion, of course the Iranians will not let their supreme spiritual leader come to negotiate, first of all, not to mention security, such a self-surrendered identity to negotiate in Basra, will weaken the influence of the spiritual leader.

Since everyone is unwilling to negotiate and everyone is so tough, let's continue the stalemate, anyway, Basra will not lose.

After the end of the negotiations, Alexander visited, Russia has played a huge role in this war, and now it is time to withdraw, after all, the aircraft carrier Peter the Great still has to undergo normal training, and it is beneficial for both sides to show its combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

But Canglong is unwilling to let the aircraft carrier Peter the Great leave Basra, which is equivalent to a natural protection, as long as you are here, even the US Navy, you will not dare to provoke Basra easily.

But he can't force people to stay here, but Canglong has already thought of an idea, he called Su Su over and said, "Do you remember our last bet?" ”

"Bet, what bet?" Su Su looked strange, he had long forgotten about being so busy.

"You said that if I left the aircraft carrier Peter the Great, I would do it for nothing." Canglong reminded.

Su Su remembered this, but he was surprised: "You won't do something stupid just for my year's salary, right?" ”

"Go." Canglong didn't have a good breath and said, "You are doomed, wait for a year of vain, go, follow me to send Alexander." ”

Su Su nodded, he didn't know what Canglong wanted to do, but he knew very well that it was not so easy to leave the aircraft carrier Peter the Great, the Russians were not stupid, such a newly launched aircraft carrier, left in the most dangerous sea area for training, if it was blown up and sunk, it would be the most tragic ship in the history of the Russian Navy.

But Canglong was also full of confidence, and then they came to Basra Port, and saw this giant ship staying in the port from a distance, and many citizens were visiting, and from their eyes, they could find a kind of desire, a desire for aircraft carriers, a desire for the navy, Su Su said for no reason: "In the past, we Chinese also had this kind of desire, when we saw our navy galloping on the ocean, when we saw our aircraft carrier launched, these were exciting." ”

While speaking, Su Su was also a little helpless, this helplessness was due to the fact that he was in Basra, and he really hoped that he could serve the motherland in China.

Canglong didn't have this kind of experience, but he could feel this desire in the eyes of the Basra people, because this is the expectation that the citizens of any weak country will have, and China has been weak before, there is no doubt about it, but now it is strong, and Basra is still in the weak stage, even if they win a few battles, they can't make up for this innate defect.

"It takes time to be strong, and it takes the joint efforts of everyone, and I hope that one day, the navy of Basra can sail with the Chinese navy in the Persian Gulf and gallop in the world's oceans." Canglong said with a smile.

Su Su was stunned for a moment, and some unknown liquid in his eyes wanted to gush out, but finally he forcibly said, "Thank you." ”

He knew that Canglong was saying this to him, and it was also telling him that once the Basra Navy became strong in the future, it would inevitably go to the deep sea and the ocean, and that Canglong would definitely join forces with the Chinese Navy at that time, which was a promise.

Canglong wanted to say a word, I was also a Chinese, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it back, he didn't grow up in China since he was a child, although he accepted a lot of Chinese culture, but his understanding of traditional Chinese was not as profound as in his bones, but sometimes he really wanted to say it honestly, and I was also Chinese.

But every time the words came to his mouth, he just couldn't open his mouth, and there always seemed to be some barrier, preventing him from saying this sentence.

The farewell ceremony was simple, but it was also very solemn, after the exchange between the two armies, Canglong boarded the Peter the Great again, the first time he stood here, Canglong felt as if he was embracing the sea, and the second time he stood here, he felt that the whole world was under his feet.

Aircraft carrier, this sea giant, can always stimulate men's potential hormones, but Canglong on the aircraft carrier, not to stimulate hormones, but to discuss things with Alexander.

Whether it is Nikolav or Alexander, they have a good impression of Canglong, but this good impression is based on Canglong's tough style and matching strength, Russians like strong people, so they respect Canglong, so they also have this good impression.

"Great Prophet, welcome aboard." Alexander said, and Nikolov, who was next to him, just nodded.

His words were full of respect and politeness, which was very useful to Canglong, which meant some kind of friendship, but it did not make him arrogant to the point that no one was in sight, so his answer was also very polite: "You are too polite, now we are friends, best friends, Chinese have always been friendly to friends." ”

Canglong did not use Basra people, living in Iraq, but directly used the three words Chinese, that is, no longer avoid suspicion, and in fact the Russians know the true identity of Canglong.

Alexander smiled, and then took Canglong and Su Su to visit the aircraft carrier again, and finally stood at the bow of the ship, facing the sea breeze, Alexander said: "You China has a saying, there is no feast in the world, I want to say goodbye with this sentence, it should be good, right?" ”

"But I want to keep you here a little longer." Canglong said lightly.

But this made Alexander and Nikolav vigilant, and they involuntarily looked at the shore and saw that there was no large number of soldiers, and they were relieved.

Alexander still asked, "You're welcome, you're welcome." ”

"No, that's what I really think, and I hope you can stay, if you're willing to listen to my terms." Canglong said with a smile.

Alexander and Nikolav were nervous, if Canglong insisted on staying them here, they really didn't withdraw at all, Russia is not as good as the United States now, it can gallop across the oceans, it is really necessary to detain them, and it will be difficult for Russia to retaliate.

"Speak, please." Alexander said solemnly.

"I hope you will stay here for a few days, and then help me tell the Russian Ministry of Defense that if you are willing to leave the aircraft carrier Peter the Great in the Persian Gulf for training, I can not only rent it to your Basra port, but even provide you with half of the funds for the aircraft carrier formation. Canglong said with a smile.

But Alexander and Nikolav were stunned, this requirement was indeed mentioned by Canglong before, and it was also part of the cooperation agreement, but it was established after the Prophet's Army completely unified Iraq, and Russia and the Prophet's junta formed a joint fleet in the Persian Gulf, but now Canglong has put forward a more tempting condition.

As long as you want to stay here, I'll give you half of the money.

For the Americans, there may not be the slightest temptation, but for the Russians, it is impossible to refuse, Russia's military budget is tight, how difficult it is to raise a fleet, with the growth of national strength in recent years, it is also very difficult to raise an aircraft carrier.

Where does the United States spend $600 billion a year on its military spending? Obviously, most of them are used on aircraft carriers, so the cost of aircraft carriers is expensive, not only in terms of cost, but also in terms of maintenance costs.

And now Canglong not only provides them with an important strategic position, but also provides half of the funds they need, you must know that Canglong is not only giving funds to aircraft carriers, but half of the funds to a whole fleet.

"What you say is true?" Still in disbelief, Alexander confirmed.

"Of course it's true, but I'm still saying the same thing before, you have to help us train the navy." Canglong said calmly, "In other words, this aircraft carrier will also have our share in the future." ”

For a military alliance, Alexander believes that this is not a problem at all, after all, the navy of the former Soviet Union is parked in the member countries, and the technology and information are also shared, and even many of the crew members are from the member countries.

"I immediately relayed it to the Ministry of Defense." Alexander did not speak, but Nikolav was excited, and without even saying hello, he left the ship to prepare to return to Russia immediately.

So, Alexander was destined not to go, he had to wait until after the reply, as for the central government of Iraq, he didn't care, Lao Tzu stopped Basra, what to do with me?

But Canglong did not know that this incident would evolve into an event, the famous "Peter the Great Incident" in the future

"What conditions did you use to persuade them, they really won't leave." Su Su looked at the Peter the Great with a strange expression, the aircraft carrier that was about to leave the post just now suddenly did not prepare to leave.

"A reason you can't refuse." Canglong looked at him with a smile, "Don't forget, it's been a year for nothing!" ”
