Chu Xuji shook his head and said, "No." I know that their work is going well and their profits are good. ”

Because China's current demand for crude oil is not large, China's domestic crude oil can fully meet its domestic needs, and there is no need to transport crude oil or refined oil from Iraq and Iran, and all the crude oil extracted from Iraq is sold to other countries.

In the previous life, in order to exchange for valuable foreign exchange and to establish good relations with some poor small African countries, China exported a large amount of crude oil to Japan and some African countries.

Now that China has foreign exchange, although it is not sufficient, it is not so short, and Guo Zhuocheng resolutely opposes the export of crude oil, and the central leadership also attaches importance to the preciousness and non-renewable resources of resources, and knows from Guo Zhuocheng's mouth that China will definitely need a large amount of imports in the future with the development of the economy.

Because of the good quality of crude oil on Iraq's side, small countries such as Japan and Africa are not angry, but are even happier.

However, the mood of the day is not so good, because they have to come up with real money to buy, while China only needs to do it, but it makes a lot of money.

The crude oil produced in Iraq is not only exported to Japan and African countries, but also to Europe and the United States, and it also earns valuable foreign exchange for the country. It's a pity that the price of crude oil in the world is very low now, only more than $20 a barrel, which is far from the high price of nearly $100 a barrel in the previous life.

If Guo was not worried about the future changes in the situation in Iraq, if it were not for China and Iran, where there is a big oil field -- this big oil field that China exchanged for weapons and equipment in the Iran-Iraq war -- waiting to be exploited, he would definitely set up a central government to seal them up first, and wait for the price of crude oil to rise or wait for China's own domestic economic and social development to need a large amount of refined oil to be mined, then they will be real black gold.

It is a question of trade-offs in order to preserve non-renewable resources for future generations and even for future generations. Or to use them in order to make more money now to develop production.

Of course, in addition to the fact that China needs foreign exchange, Guo is also worried about Iraq's future fate. Although the Iraq of this life is completely different from the Iraq of the previous life, and even President Saddam Hussein was assassinated and replaced by his son, Guo is still not sure that it will not be occupied by the United States. He was not sure that Uday would launch an invasion of Kuwait like his father had done in his previous life, and thus go from a country that was popular with the wider Arab world to a country that everyone feared and hated.

Guo Shucheng and Chu Xuji talked for a while, and only ended after explaining the relevant work. Then, Guo Shucheng called the Standing Committee members together for a working meeting, and handed over his work to Chu Xuji and them in a very formal manner as before.

It's not surprising that everyone is used to seeing it. I just feel that Guo Zhuocheng has too many things to do, and he seems to be busier than the leaders of the provincial party committee.

……

The next morning, when Guo was in his office to deal with the cases that he had to handle, the General Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs called. Guo Zhuocheng, a staff member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said that after receiving the request of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, the Iraqi side immediately reported to President Uday, and Uday ordered the Iraqi Foreign Ministry to send an invitation to the Chinese side at that time. Guo Zhuocheng was invited to visit Iraq in a private capacity, and President Uday will personally receive him at the presidential palace.

At the same time, this functionary also informed Guo that the leaders of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of National Defense, and the Ministry of State Security had asked him to immediately go to Beijing to discuss matters related to Afghanistan and discuss specific ways to "rescue" the Soviet troops.

After putting down the phone, Guo Zhuocheng immediately arranged for Bian Liang to buy a plane ticket for him. Unexpectedly, the civil aviation side told sù Bian Liang. They had already received a notice from their superiors that they had already arranged a first-class seat for Guo Zhuocheng, asking him to arrive at the airport on time so as not to delay the normal travel of other passengers.

Obviously, if Guo Zhuocheng is late for some reason. The plane had to wait for him to arrive before it could take off.

Bian Liang smiled and said to Guo Zhuocheng: "Director, you have a special plane." ”

On the way to the capital, Guo Shucheng, who was sitting in the first class cabin of the plane, thought all the way about solving the problems of the Soviet army. According to the information recently provided by Li Guanding, the Afghan resistance group is now under the command of a beauty expert who has just arrived on the battlefield. A small town called Badyab is being stormed, and this town is the last town before the Soviets enter the mountains. It is also the only way to go into the mountains to clear out the resistance groups. Once the resistance group occupies it, the Soviet troops who have already entered the mountains will have no way to retreat, and those Soviet troops will become turtles in the urn and fish in the nets of the resistance groups, and the Soviet troops who want to go into the mountains to rescue will look at the mountains and sigh and cannot be rescued.

This is where both sides are determined to win.

This town has a dangerous terrain, sandwiched between two mountains, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, because the Soviet army did not expect the resistance group to dare to attack the town on a large scale, let alone the captured Soviet division commander and others who told the resistance about the defense situation here. So much so that the Soviet army was very difficult to defend, one defense line after another was broken through, and one position after another was taken away.

Guo knew that the best way to free the Soviet army was before the encirclement of the resistance group was completed, or when the encirclement had just been completed, and it would be even more difficult if it was too late.

He re-combed Li Guanding and the method he had thought of before, and found that this method was not the best. Although this method may be able to rescue the besieged Soviet army, because it is necessary to communicate with guò to inform the Soviet side, it will definitely delay a lot of time, and then it will be troublesome if the results fall short.

Moreover, this may not be able to completely clear China, as long as it takes a long time, the United States can suspect China through clues. The main thing is that if this is done, the Soviet Union may not know or believe that it is China that helps, and it may not appreciate it.

No one in the international community wants to be an unsung hero, and even if China achieves its strategic goal and achieves its goal of dragging the Soviet Union in the quagmire of Afghanistan, it is still a little unhappy to be an unsung hero.

The reborn Guo Humble Cheng is the one who does not like to suffer losses in international affairs, and his principle is that there is only a naked exchange of interests between countries, and there is no human favor to talk about, and there is no morality to speak of; since he has helped the Soviet Union, he should let the Soviets know it directly, let the Soviets understand it, and then let them have a good impression of China and let China benefit.

Other leaders may have been happy that China had won the favor of the Soviet Union, but the favor alone could not satisfy Guo's appetite. If these favorites do not evolve into benefits for China, then there is no meaning at all, cheap thanks, loyal gratitude, Guo Zhuocheng is not rare, and it must be transformed into good for China.

The two countries have been enemies for so many years, and in contrast to the hatred and monstrous anger of the two countries, a little favor is like a little water in the sea, which will soon be annihilated without a trace.

Guo Zhuocheng's focus on the benefits of the Soviet Union is the future, that is, the changes in the Soviet Union in the future, and to reap the benefits from the great changes in the Soviet Union:

He knew how the domestic and international situation would change in the coming decades, and especially that the Soviet behemoth would collapse overnight. Many of the republics that belonged to the Soviet Union became independent, and many countries also went directly to the West, contrary to Russia, which inherited the main legacy of the Soviet Union.

Beginning the year before last, Guo Zhuocheng proposed to the central bigwigs that the personnel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Intelligence should look for people within the Soviet bloc who have a good impression of China and who have sympathy for China, and to find more people who are beneficial to China or who are willing to serve China and sing praises to China. These people will prepare China to retake the territories that have been carved out in the event of the collapse of the Soviet Union, and they will be able to persuade or stop the fierce opposition of the great Soviet Sativists and turn it to war.

However, according to the feedback from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of State Security, they have achieved very little, and it can be said that there is almost no progress. There are quite a few people among the Soviets who sympathize with China, but they are all high-minded, and they are more pitiful, believing that China has been living in dire straits. It is okay to let them say a few good words for China, but it is more difficult for them to work for China than to ascend to the sky, and this kind of treason is very disgusting to them.

The vast majority of those who commit treason and defect defect from weak countries and weak forces to strong countries and powerful forces. There are very few people who defect in reverse, and most of the people who defect in reverse are forced to be helpless under special circumstances, and there are very few cases of voluntary defection.

As the saying goes, people go to high places, and water flows to low places, not for their own vital interests, but also for fame.

Now in the world, except for the Chinese, I am afraid that everyone thinks that the Soviet Union is much stronger than China, and even Chinese, there are many people who think that China is weaker than the Soviet Union in terms of economy and military.

Moreover, most of the people who held power in the Soviet government were of Russian or European descent, and there were very few Asians. People of Russian or European descent look down on Asians in their hearts, they believe that whites are superior by their roots, and it is too difficult for them to defect to China. What's more, so many years of hostile propaganda have made them hostile to China.

Guo is not dissatisfied with the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the National Security Bureau, and others, and understands their difficulties. He only hopes that they can now get to know and make friends with some Soviet political officials, use money to open the way, deepen the relationship between the two sides, and make some good impressions.

When the Soviet Union's economy is in trouble, when Lithuania, Estonia, and other countries are waiting for them to break away from the Soviet Union one after another, when the Soviet Union's national self-confidence has plummeted and it is full of confusion about the future, when Soviet officials begin to become greedy and unscrupulous, and when China's economy is far more developed than that of the Soviet Union, that is the time for China to really take action.

At that point, it will be time to snatch the benefits.
