Especially now that the weather is starting to get hotter, the officers at the front are reacting more violently than before. Because the Chinese Type 69 tank is simply an iron coffin, which is either lightly blown up by enemy artillery fire, or the high temperature in the desert steam the soldiers inside.

Again and again, officers reported to their superiors asking for American, French, or British tanks.

On this day, Udai ran to Guo Zhuocheng angrily with this report, and couldn't help but ask angrily: "Mr. Guo, what is your explanation for this?" Although I know that you are not a high-ranking official in China, please give me an answer from your official standpoint. You should know what my attitude was to your country's weapons in the past, and what is my attitude now, but is that how you answered us? ”

Although Guo Shucheng had not yet reported the content of the report, he could guess it, took the report handed by the other party, glanced at it, and then said unhurriedly: "Your Highness Uday, I am very familiar with this matter and know it very well. ”

Wudai couldn't imagine that Guo Zhuocheng took the initiative to say that he knew about this, so he was a little stunned, but soon asked, "Why?" Instead of stopping selling weapons to our enemies, you sell them weapons that are better than ours? Why do their tanks have air conditioning, and we don't? I want to protest to your country! I'm going to hold the rest of the payment! ”

Guo Zhuocheng said slowly: "This matter is still caused by your country. Your officials have told us that your country will be able to end the fighting by March of this year, so we don't think it's necessary to have tanks with air-conditioning. Because after the tank is equipped with air conditioning, it not only reduces the soldier's activity space, but also consumes the power of the engine.

But by the end of March, your ** team had not yet defeated the Iranian army, which is normal and we understand. After all, the other party has a lot of land. With a large population, how can it be easy to fail? Therefore, our country began to design tanks suitable for summer battles here, and sold these tanks with air conditioning to you. However, your purchasing department said no, and my country was really angry at that time, and the relationship between our two countries is so good, how can you say that you don't want it? We've spent a lot of energy and time, and we're not going to raise the price for that.

Seeing that you don't want to, we were in a hurry at that time, because we paid too much money for this.

However, in order to maintain relations between our two countries, our government has remained silent→ meaning that after all, it is business, and there is a popular saying in China. It is called "buying and selling", which means that although the business between our two countries is not done, our relationship should remain friendly ♀. Did the state send us? Send us over to help you improve your combat effectiveness.

And Iran is also a friendly country of our country. They have long known that our country has supplied weapons to your country, and they have protested to our country many times. Out of friendship with your country, we have not closed the door to arms exports to your country. Later, when I saw that your country did not want the tanks we produced specifically for your country, and Iran was willing to buy them at a higher price, in order to appease their anger and reduce the economic losses of our country, our country sold these tanks to them. I think His Highness should be able to understand this. ”

Seeing that Uday's anger had really decreased a lot, Guo Shucheng said again: "Your Highness Uday, please rest assured, the number of these tanks is not much, at most seven hundred to eight hundred, and it cannot pose any substantial threat to your ** team at all." Besides, a large part of these tanks are still on the way, and they have not yet been transported to Iran, so as long as you speed up your attack, you may be able to seal the victory before they arrive. ”

Hearing that there were seven or eight hundred, Uday's anger rose again, and he snatched the report and shouted, "How can there be no real threat? It's a tank, not a toy! Seven or eight hundred, but the equipment of several tank divisions. ......, and, more...... I heard that your new batch of tanks not only added air conditioning, but also improved engines and replaced the barrels? ”

Guo Zhuocheng nodded and said, "Yes, indeed." However, our country has now designed a new tank, which not only adds air conditioning, improves the engine, replaces the barrel, but also adds infrared night vision devices, which can fight at night. And the previous communication system was upgraded, so to speak, our new tank is even better. ”

Wudai looked at Guo Zhuocheng suspiciously, shook his head, and said, "Is it possible?" How fast are you improving? ”

Guo Zhuocheng said unashamedly: "The people outside our improvement speed is fast, but in fact, our speed is not fast. Why? Because the practice of weapons development in our country is to develop a new generation, this is why the old ones are introduced. Now the reason why I sue you is because we have sold so many tanks to you before, and our relationship is not ordinary. You bought our tanks, so that we have a profit to develop new tanks, it can be said that this batch of new tanks has a share of the credit of your country, if you don't say it, I'm sorry friends. ......, I wonder if Your Highness is interested in purchasing? ”

As for the bullshit about friendship and relationships, Uday, who is Saddam's son, knows it himself, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to these words, and asks directly: "Compared with the British Centurion tank during World War II, how are your tanks?" ”

Guo Zhuocheng said: "To tell the truth, China's new tank was developed for the British Centurion tank. ”

Uday asked in disbelief, "How is that possible?" ”

Guo Zhuocheng said: "Your Highness may not believe it, we are really standing in the position of your friends, and we are really putting ourselves in your shoes. Because we already know who your opponent is, and your opponent has quite a few Centurions there, we have been working on tanks against it since the year before. Although we did not accurately predict the exact time of the start of war between your country and the other side, this did not prevent us from making technological progress. If you don't believe it, His Royal Highness Uday can send someone to our country to investigate, or you can buy a batch of tanks to try. Is what I said true or false. ”

Uday thought for a moment and said, "You sent us a hundred." If we can really take out the Centurion tanks in the hands of the Iranians, we will increase the order. ”

Guo Zhuocheng asked in his heart: "Is a hundred cars a little more, although I believe that its quality is good, but what if it does not meet the requirements of His Highness?" I heard that your country's foreign exchange reserves are a bit tight right now. ”

When Uday heard this, he immediately said, "Isn't it just a hundred?" It doesn't matter ↓ As you said, if I wasn't the quality, I would order five hundred at once. ”

As he spoke, he said loudly to the officer next to him: "Immediately notify the procurement department to contact China to purchase their new tank, which is specially developed for the British Centurion tank, and we will order a hundred." ”

The officer glanced at Guo Zhuocheng a little strangely, but didn't say anything, just agreed and immediately went to give the order.

Wudai turned his head to Guo Shucheng and said, "Mr. Guo, you have helped me so much, today I invite the three of you to my palace as guests, I don't know if I have this honor?" ”

Guo Zhuocheng said: "My colleagues and I are honored. We have always wanted to taste authentic Arabic food. ”

Uday waved his hand and said, "I'll leave immediately." ”

The team set off quickly, and at the front was a military truck, on which the soldiers were loaded with live ammunition, then two small cars for guards, then Uday's bulletproof car, behind this car were two small cars, followed by Guo Shucheng's Mercedes-Benz, and at the back was also a military truck, and the soldiers on it were also loaded with live ammunition.

Guo Zhuocheng, Chen Peng, and Sun Xingguo did not show off too much, and the three of them have always shared one car, and the other two cars are stored in the embassy.

If the five cars in the middle are only from the appearance, it is difficult to determine which one is the Uday rides, because their appearance is exactly the same, the only difference is the license plate, however, the license plate of these five cars is often changed, and the people who are not inside cannot judge which is Uday's car and which is the car of the guard and adjutant according to the license plate.

Because there are many cars and because it is night, their speed is not very fast.

Sun Xingguo, who was driving, stared at the car in front of him and said angrily: "Damn, isn't it Saddam's son?" Monkey-like dog-like, every time I go out, it's so complicated. Hmph, with a straw bale like him, is there anyone else who murders him? If I were his enemy, I would still like him to go up, and it would be better to make him president. Fighting with this kind of gentleman, isn't it easy to get caught? ”

There were only three of them in the car, and there was naturally no taboo in speaking.

Guo Shucheng smiled and said: "Then you are the wrong ♀ kind of person to be the target of other people's assassinations" He said, but to eliminate harm for the people and fight Saddam Hussein, killing two birds with one stone, how could no one murder him? It's wartime, and who knows if there are Iranians in Iraq, and last year wasn't their Deputy Prime Minister Aziz being grenadeed at a student gathering? It's only right to be careful. ”

Chen Peng walked around the luxury convoy and asked puzzledly: "Captain, why should we help them?" I'm not good for Iraq, and I'm not good for Saddam. Isn't it the same way that they attack Iran like Vietnam attacks us? It's completely self-conscious. Moreover, Iran is opposed to the United States and the Soviet Union, and like us, I admire them the most. If I support it, we support Iran, and that's our ally. Saddam Hussein and Uday are purely ......, don't talk about it, anyway, I don't like them, they are simply the doglegs of the United States and the Soviet Union. ”

Guo Shucheng smiled and did not speak.

Chen Peng asked again: "Captain, give us a solution, what's going on." I'm not happy, I'm not happy to talk or do things∠ When I was in class, as long as they didn't ask, I didn't bother to say anything. ”
