Chapter 605: You Must Agree
At first, the Chinese ambassador was still in the dark, and it was not until the official news came from Iraq that Guo Zhuocheng told him about the situation and told him about Uday's distress.
When the ambassador heard this, his face turned pale, and he carefully read Guo Zhuocheng from head to toe in a panic, and only after confirming that Guo Zhuocheng was not injured did he breathe a sigh of relief.
With regard to the issue of betting on anti-aircraft missiles with Iraq, the ambassador resolutely expressed his opposition, saying that it would be too risky to do so, and that they could use it if they only paid 10 percent, and that they would be given it in the future if they did not make any military exploits that attracted worldwide attention.
The ambassador asked anxiously and angrily: "Director Guo, let me ask you, is it so easy to make war achievements?" What else is saying that the world has noticed, what a joke! The words 'world-catching' are easy to say, but how do you measure it? What do you measure it by? Is it to destroy a regiment or a division in Iran, even if it is a world eye? Or do you want to eliminate an Iranian army or occupy an Iranian province to attract worldwide attention? When the time comes, it will not be up to Iraq to decide whether it will attract the attention of the world?
Besides, how can two anti-aircraft missile battalions destroy a division or army of the enemy, and how can they occupy a province of Iran? Air defense missiles are used for air defense and are used to hit enemy planes, and two air defense missile battalions have only more than 20 missiles and a maximum of 30 missiles. ......Unless...... Unless the plane was shot down by the President of Iran! Unless...... Unless the Iranian president is a fool, he will fly to the front line. It's not that I'm talking about you, it's really whimsical that you're doing this, it's just a fool's a fool to give them weapons for nothing, how can you do this? This is a major event between countries and countries, not a child's play. ”
The more the ambassador said that he was in a bad mood, and without waiting for Guo Zhuocheng to explain, he wanted to turn around and go to the confidential room to prepare a telegram to report the situation to China.
Guo Shucheng grabbed him and said, "Comrade Ambassador, don't be in such a hurry, okay?" Is it only the Iranian president who went to the front line and shot him down to attract worldwide attention? Again. Our quotation is very high, on the surface 10 percent is very small, in fact, our cost has come back. We can totally put those who are too late. How can equipment that is about to expire or even past its expiration date be given away for free? Sixty-five million dollars is a big number. ”
The ambassador was stunned by this young man, feeling that this young man was a gangster and scoundrel on the street, who treated diplomacy between countries as if they were dealing with each other on the street, and even played tricks and abductions: dare to sell expired weapons?
The ambassador looked at Guo Zhuocheng with tears and laughter, and said angrily and funny: "Xiao Guo, you are too young. Don't you know that diplomacy is no small matter? Not to mention that you have ruined the efforts of the three of you for so many days, that you have risked your lives to deplete the goodwill you have gained in the eyes of Uday and Saddam Hussein, and that you have also damaged the image of our country. You're so foolish. How will we deal with Iraq in the future, and how will we sell weapons to them in the future? Once what we do is known to other countries, how do we respond? It's a self-defeating way. No way! Absolutely not! If we do so ♀, we will be committing a crime against our country and our people. I can't agree more! ”
Guo Zhuocheng could not have imagined that Comrade Ambassador would raise his behavior to such a high level at once, and that he would go so far as to say that he was committing a crime against the motherland and the people. In desperation, he had no choice but to take out the secret letter of the supreme leader that he had obtained before he left for China and hand it to this ambassador comrade who had a high ideological realm.
The ambassador stared at Guo Zhuocheng suspiciously, and he read the secret letter carefully only after his expression was normal. After reading it, he sighed, and did not say yes or disagree, which was considered acquiescence. But his doubts were even greater, and he was even more incomprehensible to the young man in front of him.
After a long while, he couldn't help but ask, "Director Guo, are you sure that Uday will be in danger that night?" Are you really sure that our anti-aircraft missiles will achieve great results? ”
Guo Zhuocheng said: "How is it possible? I'm not a god. However, I have an intelligence from the outside, and this is an opportunity for us. If this information is true, then we can succeed, if the information is false. We just didn't make much money, and it wasn't a loss ♀, so of course I had to gamble, why not do this kind of risk-free thing? As for what this information is, I'm sorry, but I can only keep it secret for the time being. ”
The ambassador nodded and said, "Okay." ......, your offer is indeed a little higher, so it is 30 percent higher than the price of the Soviet SAM-6. ......, aren't you afraid that they will regret it? ”
Guo Shucheng smiled: "Of course I'm afraid." However, since it is a gamble, both sides of the bet have to pay a little price. They don't know what the cost of our missiles is, and they think that 10 percent of our offer will definitely be a loss. Comrade Ambassador, we have sacrificed our lives for the sake of the country, and in order to befriend this stupid and arrogant fellow, we have put so much effort into creating such an opportunity, but you just said that we committed a crime against the motherland and the people, how chilling it is. ”
The ambassador blushed and said, "Okay, okay, don't I don't understand the situation?" Say what's the big deal. My heart almost exploded by you just now. ......, if it really succeeds, then our life will be better, sixty-five billion dollars, hehe......"
The ambassador with an old face smiling into a chrysanthemum, Guo Zhuocheng smiled and said: "Comrade Ambassador, this day will come soon, and it won't be long." Our aim is to make Iraq our backyard, our motherland's small treasury, hehe. ”
The ambassador was obviously also a black-bellied guy, and Chrysanthemum smiled even more happily, and said: "Then it would be nice to dare to get Iraq's $40 billion in foreign exchange to our country." The economic development of our country will be smoother. ”
Guo Zhuocheng almost stumbled and said, "You are too ...... Wife...... Too demanding, right? ”
Then the two burst into laughter.
Out of gratitude to the Chinese for saving Uday, out of Iraq's support for eliminating China's support in the international community, and out of curiosity and expectation, Saddam Hussein still allowed his son to sign the contract and authorized Uday to be solely responsible for the operation of this matter, knowing that China's asking price was too high.
In this regard, Saddam Hussein promised to ask for people to give it to people, and to ask for land for land.
Saddam Hussein even allowed Uday to transfer a division of infantry to be responsible for the protection and secrecy of this anti-aircraft missile unit.
For this bet, Saddam Hussein and his henchmen also studied for a long time, but in the end they did not understand what the Chinese were playing, and finally everyone came to the conclusion that "the Chinese are selling their air defense missiles, and this is actually asking the Iraqi army to use their air defense weapons for free, trying to make the Iraqi military like them, and through guò public relations, these officers asked their superiors to purchase Chinese air defense missiles and air defense radars ♀ and send trial supplies to enterprises. ”
Like the Chinese ambassador, some people speculated that the Chinese might have some extremely secret information, and that there might be Iranian high-level officials who flew to the front line, or even flew deep into the vicinity of Baghdad, and then the Chinese ambushed him with anti-aircraft missiles, thus creating a world-renowned victory.
Some people also wonder whether Iran sent a large number of bombers to bomb Baghdad in order to open the stalemate of the war, and this news let the Chinese know.
Otherwise, the Chinese would not be able to express such confidence.
Saddam Hussein just smiled at the previous speculation, as a superior he knew that this was just a blind guess by a small person, how could the top level of the government do such a stupid thing? It is possible for the country's leaders to go to the front line by plane to inspect it, but to say that it is necessary to go deep into such a dangerous place as the enemy's capital, unless the brain is rusty: what is the point of taking this risk?
Saddam Hussein also scoffed at the latter suspicions: Since the war has been going on so far, not to mention Iran, which is so poor, even Iraq itself does not have so many bombers. Allowing bombers to penetrate deep into the enemy's hinterland, except for a little political significance, really does not do any good ♀ to the war, and some valuable fighters should be used on the front line rather than being lost in the process of bombing civilian houses, on the way forward and returning, so that at least the morale of the troops can be boosted, and a part of the enemy's living forces can be eliminated.
After thinking about it for a long time, Saddam Hussein thought that this was a fool's errand between young people after all.
Of course, there is no need for him to object, since he can buy anti-aircraft missiles at a low price, it is good that he can at least have more weapons and have an extra bargaining chip with the Soviet Union. It would be good to use the Chinese to suppress the USSR and let them lower the price. Let the Chinese think that they have achieved their goal of selling products, and in any case, they have finally saved their son from the brink of death, and they can use it to return their favor.
Because both parties had a plan in their favor, the signing of the contract was very smooth. Because Saddam Hussein was still directing the battle on the front line, and the contract was signed in secret, only the commanders-in-chief of the city defense of Uday and Baghdad were present on the Iraqi side.
With Uday's signature, Guo Zhuocheng did not doubt its legal validity and happily put the contract in his pocket.
On the third day after the contract was signed, a large Chinese cargo ship arrived at the port in Iraq, and the cargo on board the ship was quietly transported to Baghdad in strict secrecy.
Accompanied by the air defense weapons, there were not only Chinese soldiers but also Chinese air defense missile experts, but they were all dressed in civilian clothes ♀, and after some of them arrived, they were immediately divided into two parts: one part went to a desert area more than 100 kilometers southwest of Baghdad with air defense and missile equipment to take Iraqi soldiers and experts for shooting training, and the other part went to a densely forested col in the northwest of Baghdad city under the leadership of Guo Zhuocheng to quietly set up an air defense missile launching position.
