Chapter 110: Saddam Hussein's Reception
PS: The light of the great gods, please go and get it, thank you.
In fact, the top level of Iraq understands that the Russians will not be so kind and sell their most sophisticated weapons to their own country.
But hearing Wushan's words, the Iraqis suddenly became not calm.
Nima, Scud missiles, this is already the most high-end weapon in the eyes of the Arabs.
This tall Chinese, since he said that he could fight down, will definitely not be far from ten. What does this mean? Think about it on your feet to know the answer.
In the Iran-Iraq war, Western countries led by Sam made it clear that they were helping Iran.
It's a better word to say help, but in fact, it's all in exchange for oil, and the price is definitely much higher than the market price.
And what about Iraq? The situation is about the same as in Iran.
Everyone is in the Middle East, and they are all bitter in terms of weapons, you can use what people sell you, how can you have the right to pick and choose? It's a big face to be able to sell it to you.
Since China sent Wushan to visit Wèn, it was natural to cooperate in weapons.
It is true that there is no such thing as a free lunch, and everyone understands this.
However, since China is so confident, the conditions must be much more relaxed than those of countries such as Soviet Russia and Sam.
Otherwise, if Iraq has a ready-made source of goods, how can China compete and win?
The rest of the time is equivalent to garbage time, when everyone is together, you compliment me and I compliment you.
Diplomacy in the international community, but so, everyone carries a sedan chair. A ball of harmony.
The state banquet in Iraq was held at the same time, according to Ambassador Zheng Jianying. It was the site of the former royal palace of Iraq.
Maybe Wushan came in a hurry, and the food was not very extravagant. But it was definitely much better than what I ate at the embassy last night.
Generally speaking, state banquets are held in the evening, but today's lunch is also considered a state banquet.
One of the favorite and most popular dishes used in state banquets in Arab countries is roasted whole sheep, and although it is not the first time that Wushan has eaten it, you can still feel the importance that the country's top brass attaches to you......
The whole roasted lamb is served on the table, with chopped raw onions and other condiments on the side, and the guests can enjoy the meat with a knife.
Iraqis are Muslims, so alcohol is forbidden, and the only thing that can be drunk is Ali.
This wine is not available in China. It is called lion's milk and has two characteristics.
One is the strong wine, which is at least above 70 degrees, and must be diluted with water or ice when drinking, as much as you like.
But if you don't add water or ice, you're a layman, and you can't understand why it's called lion's milk.
The second is the flavor rush, which has a strong fennel flavor.
It gave Wushan the feeling that it was as if they had served Yali wine every time. Alcohol is not discouraged, so there is no possibility of staggering.
Ambassador Zheng tasted it and didn't seem to drink much at all. What stunned the Iraqis, though. Wushan was there cup after cup, as if drinking boiled water.
However, since it is a foreign guest. These top levels of government have to pretend to turn a blind eye.
Although there is a lot of food mutton in Arab countries, but. Roasted whole lamb is actually rare. Generally, it can only be grilled on particularly formal occasions.
Chinese are particularly particular about etiquette. From this point of view, the things that are not eaten often, and the things that are occasionally eaten as important occasions or large family gatherings, should also belong to heavyweight food.
Although it may seem interesting to think that there are whole lambs roasted in the past, where you can pass through a stick and turn it repeatedly, most of the roasted sheep are actually roasted in the oven.
Roast whole lamb, not like we think, just take the roast, in fact, you have to add a lot of ingredients, that is, to stuff into the belly of the lamb and many other foods, and most of the Arab roast lamb is served with rice.
Seeing Wushan's way of eating and drinking, Ambassador Zheng was a little embarrassed, completely throwing off his arms and eating and drinking, even if his demeanor looked elegant, most of the food on the table went into his stomach.
Of course, Iraqis are not too surprised to know about his experience and know that he has served in the army.
From Yali wine, it can be seen that the Middle Easterners are fierce and martial, so for Wushan's disregard for this style, it has increased his affection, and his good impression has suddenly doubled.
This time, Wushan came quite abruptly, and did not communicate with the Iraqi side in advance, as if the negotiations in the morning had reached a deadlock.
However, during the meal, someone arrived at the door of the banquet hall.
They spoke in a very small voice, but Wushan still vaguely heard the words of the president, and had some expectations in his heart, could it be that Saddam Hussein himself wanted to come in person?
There is no way, in Iraq, if you have to deal with their officials, he can't get around a hurdle, no matter what big decisions he has to finalize.
In particular, arms procurement and military cooperation will inevitably make a choice for Saddam Hussein.
However, Wushan was slightly disappointed, and until the end of the banquet, the figure that had been seen many times on the news did not appear.
"Ambassador Zheng, Mr. Wu, the President will personally receive you!" Unexpectedly, just after eating, Ibrahim discussed a few words with Quse and sent out an invitation.
This time, the Iraqi government's reception specifications were not high, and the Reynolds jeep he was riding in was bulletproof when Wushan looked at it.
The meeting took place, but it was not in the city of Baghdad.
The convoy left the city and walked north along the river, about thirty minutes or so, to a very ordinary village.
However, you can feel it in Wushan in the car, this is a large military camp.
All the houses were full of soldiers with loaded guns.
The car stopped in front of an inconspicuous house, which is a two-story building, with a construction area of about 100 square meters per floor, which is not prominent.
As the No. 1 person in Iraq, Saddam Hussein may be assassinated by hostile forces at any time.
Therefore, he has a place to live here, and Wushan is not surprised at all.
At the gates, Saddam Hussein, the helmsman of Iraq? Hussein, dressed in military uniform, was waiting there.
"Greetings Your Majesty, President!" Didn't wait for someone to introduce me. Wu Shan stepped forward: "Secretary of the Oriental Department of our country and Chairman Xu asked me to bring it to you!" ”
The guards next to them blocked slightly, and they were inexplicably surprised. I found that my body involuntarily moved backwards.
Saddam's eyes shrank, and he naturally noticed this strange phenomenon.
He did not doubt the loyalty of the Guards. Even the blocking action is seen, what does this mean?
However, Saddam Hussein was not an ordinary person, and he was also somewhat interested in this young man who did not play his cards according to the convention: "Do you know me? ”
"Of course, God has been friends for a long time!" Wu Shan smiled and shook hands: "Muhammad often told me that there is such a fighter in the Arab brother countries!" ”
As for the photo, no one needs to ask, isn't it normal for him to get the photo?
"Oh?" Saddam Hussein was noncommittal: "What else did he say? ”
"The kid said, the Arab world. Because of Israel's affairs, there is a deep hatred for Sam and other Western countries. "Wushan doesn't hide it.
"However, in so many countries, you are the only one who stands out against them!"
To be sure, Iraq's relations with France are quite good.
In the NATO lineup, only this country dares to oppose Sam.
Ambassador Zheng Jianying is obviously familiar with him, as well as the attachés in the embassy, and it is probably not the first time that he has met the president of this country.
As Wu Shan expected, the meeting place was underground. There is an elevator that goes straight to the fifth basement floor.
When he arrived at the gate of this village, he had already let go of his spiritual power, and all the arrangements were clear at a glance.
I saw the figures of Wushan and Saddam disappear. Barzan? Tikriti excused himself to stay.
He snorted and asked the two guards who blocked first, "You made a move, why did you retreat when it came to the end?" ”
"Mr. Tikriti. I felt my body float up! A burly guard replied cautiously: "When I came to my senses to stop again, he was already shaking hands with the Führer." ”
"Yes." The other leaner-looking one nodded busily: "I feel the same way, I'm scared." ”
"Okay. Take your duties seriously. Barzan waved his mom away.
"Is this the magic of Chinese kung fu?" He muttered to himself and got into another elevator suspiciously.
At this time, Wushan, Saddam Hussein and others had already gone underground.
The lights are bright, you can't even feel underground, there is not a trace of stuffiness, and the ventilation is good.
"I can't help it!" The first sentence of Saddam Hussein poured bitter water: "Westerners, Israelis and even Iranians want my life all the time." ”
"Understood!" Wu Shan shook his head lightly: "I came to your country, and I was also frightened along the way, and I think now I have become a thorn in their side like you." ”
"Haha, Mr. Wu, what you did this time is very satisfying." Saddam Hussein was very happy: "Maybe those guys are discussing in NATO how to deal with 500,000 mercenaries." ”
There are many Chinese, and 500,000 is really not very remarkable, just a number.
But the West and the Middle East world don't think so, they are frightened and faint when they see such a huge number.
If it weren't for the fear of a big war, it would have been a prelude to World War III.
In fact, the action discussed by Wushan and Xu Shiyou was quite risky.
To put it bluntly, those who are barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes.
If you really want to do it, the battlefield is not in our country, the soldiers have long since retired, and they are just mercenaries.
What if you defeat it? Maybe the next batch of so-called mercenaries will come again.
Western countries did not dare to take this risk, so they had no choice but to hold urgent consultations to avoid the outbreak of war.
If there is a battle, it must be a small battle within a certain scale.
Sam is far away across the Atlantic, and they can't afford to send people to Europe to fight.
But Western European countries are different, urine bubbles and urine can urinate on the territory of other countries, maybe Chinese mercenaries are like the former Hetler Blitzkrieg, sweeping the whole of Europe.
In that case, Europe will be in ruins, and don't forget, God knows if China will ship the atomic bomb over?
Obviously, Wushan and Saddam Hussein both thought of this and smiled at each other. (To be continued......)
