Chapter 610: Surprise Harvest
While the Iraqi people praised Uday, they were also full of resentment towards Israel, and all Iraqis came out of their homes and took to the streets, shouting slogans to wipe out Israel and exterminate the Jews, and the portrait and flag of the Israeli prime minister were burned again and again......
Israel has also been condemned, protested and ridiculed by many countries at United Nations conferences,......
It can be said that this sneak attack made them really lose their wives and soldiers.
On the fourth day after this, Saddam Hussein held a grand banquet in the presidential palace to present medals to Uday and all Iraqi officers and soldiers who participated in the war.
Because Guo Zhuocheng was reluctant to show up, and Chen Peng, Sun Xingguo and others were soldiers, they did not attend, and the main people who appeared at these banquets were embassy staff and Hu Jianshan and others.
But Guo Zhuocheng did not sleep in the embassy, he went to Uday's palace with the military chief.
There, they discussed with senior Iraqi officials about China's arms exports, as well as how to improve Iraq's early warning system.
This time, the Israeli planes went thousands of miles deep and penetrated all the way to their capital, Baghdad, and even broke through all their firepower and flew directly over the heavily guarded "Osirak" atomic energy reactor.
The "Operation Babylon" has deeply exposed the fragility of Iraq's air defense, and it can even be said that the air defense built at a huge cost is useless, and it cannot defend itself against the enemy at all, and it must be improved in all aspects.
They must immediately improve their long-range early warning radars. Their early-warning radars are all old-fashioned early-warning radars purchased in the 50s and 60s, and they generally have the shortcomings β of a short detection range and a large number of blind spots.
Guo Zhuocheng, who was a guest here, asked them to purchase new Chinese tanks, cheap planes, and cheap missiles on the one hand, and asked them to update their early warning system on the other hand. Replace the previously purchased radars from the USSR with Chinese ones.
Because the two sides have a bet on a contract to buy $6.5 billion in weapons. As for Guo Zhuocheng's proposal to purchase a large number of Chinese weapons, Iraqi officials did not have many objections.
Although China's proposal to purchase $6.5 billion in large orders is a bit of a robbery, some of them are playing tricks. But this time we should really thank the Chinese, if it were not for them, the 4.2 billion "Osirak" atomic reactor would have been destroyed. There will also be many casualties and injuries of technical experts, and Iraq's atomic energy industry will be beaten back to its primitive society, and the most important thing is that it will be ridiculed by all countries in the world: even the old nest has been by others, and it is a shame.
Now, the difference is that by leaving the world's most advanced fighter jets sent by Israel here, the Iraqi army will have a very glorious face, but on the contrary, Israel will lose face and be ridiculed for not being able to do what it can't do, and the Israeli cabinet will almost fall because of this.
The Arabs raised their eyebrows, swept away the sullenness that had accumulated in their hearts because of their defeats in several Middle East wars. Iraq's image has skyrocketed β around the world, and no money can buy it.
It can be said that these 6.5 billion dollars in arms sales, they are happy.
However, the question of how to establish an early warning system in Iraq is involved. In a word, they only believe in the radar systems of the United States and Europe, and do not worry about China's radar systems. If all the radar systems are purchased from China, they believe that the radar early warning system will be outdated before it is established. Rather than repeating the construction of such outdated things, it is better not to build them.
In the end, both sides took a step back, and the early warning radars were purchased half from China, and the remaining half they imported from the United States or Europe. As for anti-aircraft missiles and military computers, they are all purchased from China.
After setting the general framework, Guo Zhuocheng took the military chief back to the embassy.
The general policy has been decided, and the specific things are just good for them to preside. He has a lot of things to do in the country. Being able to bring domestically produced radars into Iraq has already exceeded the targets set before going abroad.
The next morning, Guo Zhuocheng took Chen Peng and Sun Xingguo to board the plane and returned to Chinaβ and before leaving, he wrote a brief letter to the Chinese ambassador to Iraq, asking him to forward the letter to Uday after he left.
When Uday, who was drunk and sleeping soundly because of the celebration wine, received a report from his subordinates that Guo Zhuocheng had returned to China, Uday was so angry that he took out a pistol and shot his secretary, blaming him for not waking up in time and not stopping Guo Zhuocheng and them from returning to China.
When the phone call was made to the airport control station, the other party panicked and reported that the civil airplane bound for China had landed at the airport in China's capital and that all the passengers had already disembarked -- Guo Zhuocheng had arrived in China, and Uday had no way to deal with him.
The angry Uday smashed the telephone to pieces, angrily summoned several high-ranking officials who were in charge of negotiating with Guo Zhuocheng yesterday, pointed at their noses and scolded them, scolding them for being stupid pigs, only paying attention to weapons and money in their minds, without any vision, without any concept of the overall situation, not knowing that Guo Zhuocheng, Chen Peng, and Sun Xingguo were more important than the three elite divisions, and did not know how to try to keep them.
He also shouted at the stunned senior officials that if Guo Zhuocheng was allowed to train one of their elite troops, then this force would be absolutely invincible among the Middle Eastern countries, and its value would far exceed that of missiles and radars.
In desperation, he had to take another shortcut and get help from China in a roundabout way.
He first expressed to the ambassador of the Chinese embassy the Iraqi Government's gratitude to China for its selfless help, asked the ambassador to convey his greetings to the Chinese leaders and Guo Zhuocheng and others, and then made a request to invite Guo Zhuocheng to serve as a special forces instructor in their country.
Naturally, the ambassador did not dare to call the shots, but only thanked Uday for his greetings, and then said that he would do his best to pass on His Excellency Uday's request to the country. At the same time, the ambassador told him that Guo Zhuocheng had left a letter for His Excellency Uday before leaving, and asked if the letter would be delivered immediately.
Uday couldn't wait to say, "Quick! Fast! I want to get to Mr. Guo's letter right away. β
When the embassy sent a letter, Uday was not disappointed, and Guo wrote a few sentences in English in the letter: "Your Highness Uday, the great Allah has allowed us to have a pleasant cooperation. Please send someone to send the wreckage of the plane, including the F6 plane that crash-landed in the lake, to our country. I'm sure we'll have a second more pleasant collaboration soon. β
Uday didn't care about anything else, his eyes were drawn to the words "second" and "cooperation", as if a junior brother had walked in front of him with two naked bodies, and suddenly his eyes became glazed and his breath was short.
In order to get Guo Zhuocheng to agree to help him train the army, especially for more cooperation in the future, this time Uday used all his strength, begging Saddam Hussein again and again to send troops, and again and again to mobilize tens of thousands of soldiers, intelligence personnel, vehicles, and ships to collect the wreckage of 13 planes scattered in more than 100 square kilometers, including the plane that had only one wing and one side engine damaged, and which had landed in the lake in a forced landing. All are carefully sealed in containers and then quietly transported to Chinese ships, which are transported back to China.
There are also three high-end bulletproof Mercedes cars in the freighter!
By the time the U.S. ambassador came to the door, the Chinese freighter had already left the Persian Gulf β, and they thought the wreckage was still hidden in a warehouse in Iraq.
After several days of painstaking negotiations, when Iraq assured that the wreckage would never go to the Soviet Union, and when the wreckage had been shipped to China, the U.S. ambassador returned in a huff.
Saddam Hussein very much wanted to stay in Iraq to study the plane, whose fuselage was mostly complete, but at Uday's insistence, he thought that his country really did not have the ability to research advanced fighters, so he finally had to reluctantly part with his love.
After the wreckage was sent away, Uday personally approached President Saddam Hussein and proposed to revise the document signed with China on improving Iraq's radar early warning system, and increase the proportion of Chinese equipment used from 50 percent to 75 percent.
After this was done, Uday formally submitted a request to the Chinese government in the name of the Iraqi government: Guo Shucheng was asked to bring ten soldiers like Chen Peng and Sun Xingguo to Iraq to help train his guards. The salary given is fifteen million dollars per year! Among them, Guo Zhuocheng's salary is 5 million US dollars per year, and the annual salary of other personnel is 1 million US dollars!
Five million dollars is definitely a scary price in this era, but it's a pity that Guo Zhuocheng didn't see it. China's leaders are also unfazed: Guo Zhuocheng is worth more than a diamond, how can he be driven by a mere $5 million?
However, in order to maintain the traditional friendship between China and Iraq, and more importantly, to give play to China's influence in Iraq and to better sell China's weapons, the two countries finally decided to send a special operations team headed by Chen Peng to help Iraq train special units.
This time, Sun Xingguo did not go, because the central authorities decided that Sun Xingguo would be responsible for setting up Guo Zhuocheng's guard company, which would be specifically responsible for Guo Zhuocheng's safety.
Guo Zhuocheng was very depressed, and Sun Xingguo was very surprised.
The reason why the central leaders chose Sun Xingguo was because they knew that Sun Xingguo had a special ability, and his perverted hearing could detect a conspiracy in advance and ensure Guo Zhuocheng's life to the greatest extent.
As Hu Jianshan slowly implemented the rough contract in Iraq and put it into concrete actions, China actually obtained a huge order of 13.2 billion US dollars! This does not include rifles, ammunition, uniforms, and equipment worn by soldiers, such as daggers, water bottles, backpacks, etc.
