Just when Qi Pengduo was about to send this first-class secretary back first, and he took the manuscript to ask his superiors for instructions, the depressed vice minister of foreign affairs suddenly remembered the warm, natural, and frank scene when the previous supreme leader, Vice Premier Yu and others met Guo Shucheng, and couldn't help but hesitate in his heart

After that, he said categorically: "Just do what he asks, be bold, something went wrong...... I'm responsible" The last three words were said very firmly, and he himself felt the urge to take a desperate gamble

Hu Jianshan looked at Qi Pengduo in surprise, and said after a long time: "I know Vice Minister Qi, I will work hard and strive to complete the tasks assigned to me by my superiors" This guarantee was obviously a little fluttering in tone

Qi Pengduo immediately said loudly: "It's not about fighting, it's about having to, you know?" You must resolutely and conscientiously do it according to your requirements of Director Guo, and ensure that you will not make a mistake ......, you must understand one thing, he will definitely be able to do it if he can."

"Yes" Hu Jianshan saw that Qi Pengduo had a trace of unkindness on his face, and hurriedly walked out

Qi Pengduo sat in the office for a while, made a cup of tea, and picked up the newspaper

But these efforts were in vain, my heart just couldn't calm down, I wronged myself for several minutes, and finally threw the newspaper, knocked the teacup hard, and threw it to the secretary with a sentence: "I went to report to the leader, you are guarding here" and left in a hurry

Hu Jianshan holds a diplomatic visa, and going abroad is naturally commonplace, as long as there is a flight, he can go

The ambassador of the Chinese Embassy in Iraq, who had already received a notice from his superiors, stretched out his hand as soon as Hu Jianshan appeared in his office: "Give it to me."

Hu Jianshan immediately handed over what Guo Zhuocheng had written

Guo Shucheng wrote, the ambassador, like Hu Jianshan, also thought that just relying on the phrase "in order to further deepen the traditional friendship between the Chinese and Iranian peoples" could not impress the stubborn Saddam Hussein. dream

However, what they never expected was that the day after they contacted the Iraqi Foreign Ministry and said that they wanted to pay a visit to President Saddam, the other party called and said that President Saddam Hussein was very happy to receive the Chinese guests, and immediately arranged a time at the presidential palace

The Chinese ambassador was surprised

Hu Jianshan was surprised and had to admire Guo Zhuocheng's prediction in his heart, and he was also full of expectations for the information that Guo Zhuocheng handed over to him, feeling that those contradictions were not really contradictory

Of course, as an ambassador, his political sensitivity is of course much higher than that of Hu Jianshan, who agreed to a meeting so quickly from the Iraqi Foreign Ministry, and soon predicted that, as Guo Zhuocheng wrote in the information, Iraq was ready to make a move

With this judgment, the ambassador adjusted his mentality faster than Hu Jianshan and quickly recognized the information written by Guo Zhuocheng

As soon as the appointed time arrived, the two rushed to the presidential palace by car

After waiting for about 10 minutes, President Saddam Hussein, with a mustache, appeared, and the two sides exchanged warm and polite greetings, and then the two sides immediately got to the point

The Chinese ambassador began by saying: "Thank you, President Saddam, for taking the time out of his busy schedule to meet with us, our leaders are deeply concerned about the recent armed conflict between your country and Iran, and at the same time understand your country's efforts on the road to rejuvenation.

Although this was a cliché, President Saddam's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he immediately said: "I am very grateful to the leaders of your country for their concern and understanding of our people, and I am very willing to further deepen the existing good relations between the two countries on the basis of the five basic principles of peaceful coexistence."

After these official words, President Saddam Hussein began to get into the practical issue and said: "We in Iraq have always been friends of the Chinese people, and now we need your country's help, and if your country can help us, we will always remember your country as a friend, and our country will thank your country at the appropriate time and in the appropriate way."

The purpose of the ambassador and his entourage today is to sell the mountains of tanks piled up in the military factory, and the previous purpose has been determined, and then there must be a meat show

He said: "Our country agrees with Mr. President's behavior of safeguarding your country's national security and improving national self-confidence, and is willing to do what we can to help your country's prosperity and strength.

Although Saddam Hussein, who had been actively preparing for war and quietly seeking weapons and equipment, was happy in his heart, he was not a fool, and he knew that China could not be all kind, so he hesitated for a moment and said: "Thank you for your concern and help to my Iraqi people, and I would like to ask Your Excellency the Ambassador a question, that is, if a war breaks out between our country and a neighboring country, what position will your country take, and I mean if China procures a sufficient amount of weapons and equipment from your country."

The ambassador said: "Our country has always dealt with issues between countries in accordance with the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, and settled disputes through peaceful negotiationsIf your country takes the initiative to start a war against other countries, our country has only two positions, the first is to strongly condemn and resolutely oppose any war that leads to the consequences of ......."

The Iraqi defense minister, who accompanied him, hurriedly asked: "What about the second article?" ”

"The second is to express regret that the two sides of the war are back on the track of negotiations," the ambassador said.

President Saddam Hussein frowned, expressing his dissatisfaction with his impatience to intervene in the leakage of Iraq and China's attitude, and asked: "Isn't your country able to take a step forward?" We don't want the full support of your country, we just need to be silent, can't we? I am aware of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence advocated by your country, but your country seems to be a little different from this principle in its treatment of Vietnam. ”

The ambassador said: "Because our foreign policy is long-term and stable, Mr. President has understood the actions taken by our country against Vietnam, and I would like to express my gratitude, and I have come today as a friend to analyze the problems that may arise in the event of a war in your country against a neighboring country, and I know very well and deeply that Mr. President and the army led by Mr. President are strong and loyal, and their combat effectiveness is first-class in the Middle East and even in the world. Repeatedly"

Saddam involuntarily straightened up, and his face was smiling, like a decaying old chrysanthemum

He said: "We in Iraq have always been committed to building a world-class strong army, resolutely maintaining stability in the Middle East, and we have the ability and confidence to eliminate an individual, organization and country that initiates incidents and even provokes war in the Middle East, between Arab countries, Allah, and I, Saddam, promise to do this, and eliminate all these people."

The ambassador said: "I sincerely regret the arrival of this day"

As he spoke, there was a hint of embarrassment on his face, because he was viscerally opposed to Iraq starting a war

Saddam's eyes were very sharp, and he immediately noticed the abnormality of the Chinese ambassador and asked: "Your Excellency the ambassador seems to have different opinions...... since we are friends, why don't you speak out and listen to it?"

The ambassador said: "The victory of the war has never been won by relying solely on the strength of the army, such as the war on the Korean Peninsula in the United Nations, compared to the newly founded our ** team, like a tiger than a scalper, but the joint ** returned, they were overturned by this scalper of our country, and then the United States invaded Vietnam, and Vietnam that had just been liberated from the iron hooves of France compared to the United States, like a monkey than a jaguar, the two are not the same grade at all, but the US army wolf bèi and withdrew, and now there is an example of the Soviet Union. Compared with Afghanistan, the Soviet Union is like an elephant and an ant, although the Soviet Union now occupies most of Afghanistan, but the Soviet Union is also in a quagmire, it is impossible to further expand the results of the war, and it is unwilling to retreat here. ”

Saddam's eyes opened, and his fierce gaze shot at the ambassador

The ambassador was still smiling, neither humble nor arrogant

Saddam Hussein suddenly smiled and said: "I regret it, I regret that Your Excellency associated myself with our country's army and the loser, I would like to remind you that I and my army have always won more with less, we have fought from the war of defeating the strong with the weak, we were able to defeat the strong enemy with a disadvantage in the past, we do not believe that when the strong is strong, it will not be victorious, and I do not think that the Soviet Union is in a predicament now, I would like to correct Your Excellency that Afghanistan has reached the moment of imminent annihilation."

The ambassador said: "Your Excellency the President has misunderstood, it is not that I do not believe that your team will win, but that your country will not suffer too much loss, and that your country will not be in a situation where you can advance or retreat, according to my country, it is to prepare for a rainy day, prepare for the worst outcome and make the best efforts."

Saddam Hussein was immediately overjoyed and said, "Yes, yes, we have to do our best," and then, with a calm face, he asked, "May I ask Your Excellency, Your Excellency, if our country goes to war, what disadvantages do you think will be?" ”
