Chapter 1166: Traveling to Iraq
Although he was also a gravedigger of the former Soviet Union, and fiercely criticized Gorbachev's reforms, and almost buried Russia because of economic shock therapy, he was lucky to be able to sit in the Russian presidency for many years, and he also chose a good successor - Lisboa.
A bull man who led Russia step by step to restore its strength, and a fierce man who climbed up from the grassroots level of the KGB.
Ye Liqin, who felt sharp and open-minded, thought about it and said to the secretary: "It is very likely that the Chinese are exchanging this with us, because they are mixed with those damned Americans to help those resistance groups. They know for sure that our army has suffered heavy losses, and that our army will be besieged. No, not a possibility, but a certainty! This must be the case! ”
As he spoke, he quickly said to the secretary, "Yes! That's why we have to decide to contact China as much as possible, and an hour late versus an hour earlier will have a completely different outcome. ”
The secretary could not help but say: "But ......, however, the comrades of the KGB think that this matter is much less likely than the previous one. They also explained that China is fundamentally disgusted with the Japanese, and that they are very happy that we will beat the Japanese and even want to provoke us to fight each other at all times. But unlike the United States, they now have very good relations with the United States, and they do not want our Soviet Union to occupy Afghanistan, and they still wish that our troops in Afghanistan would be damaged, and the greater our losses, the happier they will be, how can they help us and offend the Americans? ”
Ye Liqin said angrily: "Is it that you know more about the situation or do I know more about the situation?" How can China be a vassal of the Americans? Do you really think that the Chinese, like the Americans, will trap us in the territory of our USSR and keep them awake all day long? The longer we stay in Afghanistan, the more reassuring they are that they can place fewer troops on the Sino-Soviet border. Didn't they take the initiative to reduce the number of defending troops on the border last year?
China has great ambitions and has always wanted to become the third in the world. Where will we miss the opportunity to fight each other with the United States? ......, I don't want to tell you, go! We can't let our army lose too much, we have to teach the Americans a lesson, we have to make those resistance groups understand who is the most powerful country in the world, and the glory of the Soviet Red Army cannot be lost in our hands! ”
As he spoke, before the secretary could leave, he simply picked up the telephone and spoke directly to the operator: "Please pick me up at the KGB headquarters immediately." ”
When Akhmetov was taken directly to the Chinese embassy by secret service personnel. The staff on duty at the embassy received a phone call from the Soviets, saying that Comrade Ye Liqin, a member of the Central Committee of the CPSU, had spoken to the Chinese ambassador on the phone.
……
At this time, Guo Zhuocheng had already boarded a plane to Baghdad. At this time, the aircraft did not have the good performance of the aircraft of the previous life, flying at an altitude of less than 10,000 meters and a speed of less than 800 kilometers. But the comfort of the first class is not much worse than that of the aircraft of the previous life.
In order to show his respect for Guo Zhuocheng and to show his courtesy to Guo Zhuocheng, President Uday arranged for the Iraqi ambassador to China to accompany Guo Zhuocheng to Baghdad.
Because the plane belonged to China's civil aviation, it was inconvenient for Iraq to arrange too many people to serve Guo Zhuocheng, so it had to aggrieved the ambassador to run back and forth for Guo Zhuocheng. It didn't bother him to do anything, which made Mr. Ambassador breathe a sigh of relief.
It's not that he is unwilling to serve Guo Zhuocheng, on the contrary, he is very willing to serve Guo Zhuocheng. I hope that Tong Guò will have a good relationship with Guo Zhuocheng to get close to President Uday, so as to gain greater attention and make himself a step forward in his career in the future.
Being able to be sent by Uday to the Chinese as an ambassador has proved that his status in Uday's mind is very high. Once upon a time. Of all Iraqi envoys to foreign countries, the ambassador to the Soviet Union was the highest. Half a level higher than those stationed in the United States.
But since China's victory in helping Iraq protect its nuclear facilities and its victory over Iran during the Iran-Iraq war, its ambassador to China has been on an equal footing with its ambassador to the Soviet Union. When Uday became president, the ambassador to China was at the head of the ambassadors.
In fact, the administrative level is only one aspect, and what makes others see and let the world understand the importance of China in the eyes of the Iraqi government, and the most important thing is President Uday's reliance on China, especially Guo Zhuocheng, which is well known to all senior Iraqi officials.
It can be said that Uday obeyed Guo Zhuocheng's words. Fortunately, Guo Zhuocheng has no ambitions, and he is not very interested in Iraqi affairs, he is obsessed with China's work and the development of Qionghai Island, otherwise the Iraqi government may become Guo Zhuocheng's puppet government.
They all know that if anyone befriends Guo Zhuocheng, once he says a few good words to Uday, he may rise to the top. On the contrary, if you offend Guo Zhuocheng and let him say a bad word in front of Uday, say something that is not acceptable, his career may come to an end, and he may even fall from heaven to hell, and be directly killed by Uday, a murderous guy.
The reason why Mr. Ambassador breathed a sigh of relief was that he was worried that Guo Zhuocheng would be young and vigorous, and that he would be arrogant and domineering by relying on his position in Uday's mind, and that he would make some excessive demands and make him embarrassed. He'd heard Uday the young man mention that. If the other party asks for it, and you can't do it yourself, then the problem is troublesome.
The content of Guo Zhuocheng's conversation with him was very simple, he did not involve any confidential matters, he talked about all the things that were said and reported in the newspapers, asked about the latest situation in Iraq, and mainly asked about economic matters, not military matters.
The war between Iraq and Iran has stalled, and neither side has the ability to attack the other, or is recuperating. This is different from the previous life, in the previous life, Iraq was offensive in the early stage of the Iran-Iraq war, taking the initiative on the battlefield, penetrating into Iranian territory, and defeating the Iranian army that had just been founded. Most of the world's Arab countries were overjoyed, believing that Iraq would be able to eliminate the revolutionary country and restore order to the Middle East.
However, with the increase in the area of land occupied by Iraq, the increase in the number of troops required to defend the occupied territory, the extension of logistics supply lines, the emptiness of the national treasury, and the close collapse of the national economy, it was impossible to support the war, and Iran finally relieved itself, stopped the internal fighting, and the whole people united with the outside world, but the shape on the battlefield began to reverse, and the Iranian army launched a large-scale counteroffensive, not only recovering the occupied territory very smoothly, but also entering the core of Iraq. The two countries fought back and forth, and there were many casualties, and in the end, they could not fight anymore before they were extinguished under the mediation of foreign countries.
But relatively speaking, at the end of the war, Iran had the upper hand, taking an offensive and Iraq taking a defensive position.
It is precisely because of this that Saddam Hussein in his previous life not only lost his reputation abroad, but also lost his "prestige" at home, and even showed signs of instability in his ruling foundation.
What he never expected was that this wave of troops would become the cause of his death, which not only angered all Arab countries, including the fraternal countries that had helped him and supported him, but also gave the United States and other Western countries an excuse to attack him, not only because of Iraq, but also because of this, he himself was hanged.
In this life, although Iraq also won first and then lost, the defeat was much smaller than in the previous life. Iran once also invaded the border towns of Iraq, but with the help of Guo Zhuocheng, Uday's army turned defeat into victory and drove out the Iranian army that invaded the country, which not only won Uday's reputation, created conditions for him to assassinate Saddam Hussein and replace him, but also stabilized the battle line between the two countries on the border line.
Although Iraq does not have the ability to invade Iran again, Iran does not have the ability to invade Iraq as it did in its previous life, and Iraq has the upper hand in this era, holding most of the initiative in the war, and Iran is currently on the defensive rather than offensive.
This qiē is also related to Guo Zhuocheng's help, and it is also related to China's large export of weapons. Of course, China also exports weapons to Iran in large quantities, making money on both sides, and both sides have large oil fields.
Now Iraqis and the Iraqi government do not yet know the amount of oil stored in the Pokhaz region, but they no longer laugh at the Chinese as much as they used to, and at the same time sympathize with the Chinese. In the past, when the Chinese said that they didn't want other areas with oil, they had to have that barren land, and they had to have that remote land that had not yet been explored, they thought that the Chinese were too kind, they really wanted to do good for Iraq, and they really didn't want to take advantage of Iraq. Not to mention whether there is crude oil there, at least a lot of money needs to be invested in road construction, which is far from being as good as the ready-made oil fields.
However, seeing the Chinese workers enter Iraq like ants, in a short period of time they built roads, repaired accommodations, built derricks, built pipelines, and drilled crude oil at a rapid pace. Seeing the crude oil being transported away ship after ship, they admired and sighed at the Chinese, and sighed that the Chinese were amazing.
