Chapter 679: A Surprise Change

Princess Madeleine's words in front of reporters are very low-key, but her image is taller than Sun Xingguo, who has said a lot. Not only because she is beautiful, not only because she is a member of the Spanish royal family, but also because she is not a soldier, but she has done things that are more dangerous than soldiers, her deeds have touched countless people, and her low profile is even more touching.

When her words and deeds came out on TV and radio, she immediately became an angel in the hearts of hundreds of millions of people and a goddess in people's minds.

The goodwill of the Spanish royal family in the hearts of the world has almost risen sharply, and it can be described as "skyrocketing". Because it was they who resolutely agreed to the weak Princess Madeleine to join this rescue operation, and it was they who raised such a good girl.

It can be said that her brilliance overshadowed Sun Xingguo's light.

This is very understandable, after all, in everyone's mind, Sun Xingguo is a soldier, and it is natural for him to enter a dangerous area and participate in dangerous operations. But Princess Madeleine is different, she is a young and beautiful girl, a noble royal princess, and she is more in line with the image of an angel in people's minds.

People's good opinion of her is so high, Guo Zhuocheng and Sun Xingguo are of course happy to see it. Guo Zhuocheng They don't want to be famous, they don't want to be noticed by the world, they just need to be affordable, they just need to make money.

No matter how famous Princess Madeleine is, it only shows that her personality is noble, but it does not mean how much strength she has, and it does not mean that she is a delicate woman who can really solve the crisis. It was Guo Zhuocheng and Sun Xingguo who solved the crisis, and the rapid reaction force that Sun Xingguo said was talking about when the dignitaries of various countries were concerned.

It won't be long before Princess Madeleine will be forgotten by the dignitaries, but Guo Zhuocheng and Sun Xingguo will always be engraved in their hearts.

As planned and predicted by Guo Zhuocheng, the hostage rescue operation and this press conference brought great gains.

When Guo Zhuocheng and Sun Xingguo bid farewell to the senior Jordanian officials and the reluctant Princess Madeleine and returned to China, the Jordanian government began to seriously discuss the establishment of a rapid reaction force.

The defense minister, who has seen the abilities of Guo Shucheng and Sun Xingguo, has taken advantage of this opportunity to make great contributions and vigorously insist on building a rapid reaction force to cope with all kinds of unexpected incidents in the new period.

At the same time, he also asked people to report on the construction of Iraq's special operations forces. Through his efforts, these senior officials and members of the royal family agree that Jordan should indeed establish a rapid reaction force similar to the one in Iraq. Even if it costs a lot of money, it is completely necessary. Because they know that before the appearance of Guo Zhuocheng and Sun Xingguo, Jordan had countless soldiers, but they were helpless in the face of a few (hijackers); There are countless planes and cannons in the air, but they can't move (hijack) a single hair.

But Guo Zhuocheng and Sun Xingguo solved the problem lightly!

That's the difference, that's the difference, and that's what it's worth trying, no matter how much you invest!

With the king's consent. The military authorized the Minister of Defense to personally preside over the preparation of this new type of force.

The authorized defense minister immediately extended an invitation to the Chinese side and offered an employment price that was almost the same as that of Iraq.

Moreover, for Guo Zhuocheng, they are even more determined to win, and even proposed a hiring price of 20 million US dollars, which will only take three years, and pay another 3 million US dollars every year in the future.

That is to say, as long as Guo Zhuocheng goes to Jordan to lead the soldiers to train. In three years, you can earn nearly $30 million.

Of course, it is impossible for Guo Zhuocheng to come, and even Sun Xingguo cannot come out. Only officers and soldiers of other special operations units were dispatched, and this time Ye Junhui led the team.

In addition to hiring servicemen of the Chinese special forces as instructors of the Jordanian rapid reaction forces with high salaries, a large number of weapons and equipment required for such a rapid reaction force were purchased. The defense minister also lobbied for China within the Jordanian government and military for the purchase of conventional weapons, hoping that Jordan's main channel for arms imports in the future would be changed to China.

Originally, he was the Minister of Defense and had considerable power over the procurement of foreign weapons, but through his operation, the obstacles to the procurement of Chinese weapons were naturally much less, and the relevant links were cleared one by one. Moreover, Jordan has already purchased Chinese anti-aircraft missiles before. It wasn't really an innovation this time, and people quickly accepted the reality.

In fact, the Jordanian military did not purchase too many weapons at once, because China clearly stated that tanks, missiles, and other large weapons were not in stock, and all the weapons produced were bought by Iran and Iraq, and they could only purchase some other conventional weapons and military supplies, such as military kettles, steel shovels, military uniforms, rifles, bullets, artillery, compressed biscuits and other materials.

One characteristic that distinguishes Middle Eastern countries from other regions is that they like to swarm the land. What this country likes to do, that country will like to do.

In addition to anti-aircraft missiles, at the beginning, only Iraq, Iran, and Jordan procured other weapons and equipment, but when these three countries were about to ship them over one after another, other Middle Eastern countries were moved and rushed to send inspection delegations to China one by one to inquire, accept, and test the goods from the relevant Chinese departments.

China's weapons have always been characterized by high quality and low price, and those high-tech weapons and equipment are indeed inferior to those of the United States, France, and the Soviet Union, but conventional weapons are about the same, but the price is much lower, which makes the inspection delegations of various countries very excited.

This time, the state did not deliberately raise prices as Guo Zhuocheng did in Iraq and Iran, but referred to the international market price, which is about 30 percent lower than the price of weapons in the United States and France.

Of course, in order not to make Iran and Iraq angry, they did not sell the tanks that had pitted them, because China did not have them in the first place, and even if they did, they were ordered out by these two countries, and the orders were scheduled for two years.

Although these countries are not as crazy as Iraq, Iran, and Jordan, they do not buy what they see, but they have also purchased some of them, and the lowest orders are more than tens of millions of dollars. It made the relevant departments of China smile, and the national leaders were so excited that they couldn't sleep.

Today's China is different from the previous life, because of the relationship between the system, because of the idea of "always ready for war", because of the idea that "the third world war will break out sooner or later", the country's industry is inclined to the military industry in many aspects, and at least half of the country's total industrial output value is military or related to the military industry. In the previous life, although the scale of military enterprises was generally large, the proportion of military enterprises in the national economy was not large, and military enterprises were integrated and concentrated in a few large central enterprises.

Now, with the export of a large number of weapons and military supplies, all military industrial enterprises have benefited, which means that more than half of China's industrial enterprises have received valuable funds, many problems in production and life have been solved at once, the country's reform has naturally become smoother, and the stone hanging in the heart of the central bigwigs has fallen to the ground.

The export of weapons has also led to the export of other items. Every time the delegation came, the relevant government departments consciously took them to other industries and other fields to visit and inspect, so that the members of these inspection groups had a general impression in their hearts, although these military equipment inspection groups did not purchase civilian supplies, they brought back a lot of information on civilian supplies, so that many businessmen who smelled business opportunities came to China and began to purchase on a large scale.

For example, the vegetables grown in Luhe Province using greenhouse vegetable technology have also begun to be shipped to Middle Eastern countries including Jordan, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia one after another, just like other materials.

The prices in these countries are much higher than those in China, and their labor costs are also much higher than in China, vegetables in China are only a few cents a catty, fruits are only a little more than a catty, and after being transported to the Middle East, they immediately become a few yuan or even a dozen yuan a catty......

Of course, this is a later story, and when Guo Shucheng returned to China, these things had not yet happened, and they were still under discussion by the Jordanian government. After all, their original sellers were either the United States, the Soviet Union, or France, and it was still very difficult for them to turn around and buy Chinese products all at once.

After Guo Zhuocheng returned to China, he only wrote a simple report and handed it to the superior organization, and began to turn into intense work without talking too much about this matter.

When Guo Zhuocheng was working seriously in the Third Aircraft Department, the war between Iran and Iraq was no longer as fierce as before.

Iran reclaimed the most important port city of Abadan as scheduled, and Iraq held Basra, an important industrial city. The war between the two countries is once again stable on the border between the two countries, both offensive and defensive, and its scale and intensity are much smaller than before.

Generally speaking, today we Iran will attack Iraq for 10 kilometers, and tomorrow you will return 10 kilometers after Iraq's counterattack. The top leaders on both sides have lost the sense of urgency for life and death that they used to have, but they are not weak in propaganda.

Now the armies of both sides are not so much fighting for each other's territory as revenge as they are dealing with propaganda and proving to the people under their rule that the government is unyielding. The political significance of these battles on the border is far greater than the practical significance.

But for ordinary soldiers, for the common people who live there, the war is still bloody and cruel.

With the prolongation of the war, Iraq's economy is becoming more and more depressed, foreign exchange reserves have long been exhausted, and the heavy burden of the war has begun to overwhelm the people.

As time passed, the aura that hung over President Saddam began to fade, and people no longer saw him as a re-enactment of the Babylonian Empire, no longer thinking that he would restore the glory of the former Babylonian Empire, but associating him with the loser, after all, Saddam's pre-war promises became more and more a lie and a ridiculous one over time.
