readx;

When he got the news that the Kuwaiti tanker had been hit and sunk to the bottom of the sea, Rafsanjani was eager to shoot all the people in that missile unit. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info≦≧ (Full, all in May Day. want

This is a big problem.

Iran has made that statement, but it does not mean that Iran will really do that, although Rafsanjani received instructions from the leader of Gao Jingshen, but after careful consideration, he still decided that the scale of the conflict cannot be escalated, and it must be limited to the war with Iraq.

Therefore, their primary target must be Iraqi oil tankers.

Iran has a long coastline, and the entire northern side of the Persian Gulf is Iran's coastal water, especially Iran can control the Strait of Hormuz, which can be said to be able to control the shipping of the entire Persian Gulf, and Iraq, after occupying the port of Abadan, their oil is mainly transported by oil tankers.

Hit the tankers of Iraq! This is the solution to the current dilemma.

So, in the battle at sea, Iran finally fired the first bomb. ≦≧

However, this missile actually killed the Kuwaiti tanker!

This cannot be blamed on the low degree of the missiles exported by China, but the fact that they aimed at the wrong one, because they were finally surprised to find that their intended target, because of the failure of the main engine, has not yet reached the Strait of Hormuz.

What should Iran do in the face of Kuwait's wrath? Do you want to say, sorry, we made a mistake?

No, absolutely not! In Iran today, these two words will never be spoken, Iran is now facing the hostility of almost all Arab countries, and it was not intended to do so, but since it has done so. Then show toughness!

The senior leader also sent instructions, praising the operation for being very beautiful. To continue to do this, and, to increase the scale, in addition to missiles, armed men can also carry out strikes in small boats.

It seems that the high leader is very satisfied with this matter, however. ≦≧ Rafsanjani doesn't plan to do that. Isn't that a pirate? Moreover, pirates are still there to make money, and they do it in a way that has nothing but destruction.

Before he knew it, Rafsanjani already had a mind of his own. For the orders of the High Leader. It is no longer carried out to the letter, because, in his heart, Rafsanjani is very repulsive to this kind of behavior, which will make Iran more isolated and Iran more enemies. Although they were their enemies, they had never fought head-on, and if other countries joined in, Iran would definitely not be able to hold back so many fists.

"The report, there is a message from the Chinese side that, for various reasons, the arrival of our next batch of weapons will be postponed. We urgently need J-7 fighters and 69 tanks, as well as Silkworm missiles. It may take some time to arrive. At this time, a staff officer came in and said.

Delayed delivery? Rafsanjani was taken aback. If they lose China's arms exports, it will be difficult for them to fight this battle.

"Did they say why?"

"Domestic orders have increased, and we can't produce enough. ≦≧”

Domestic orders? Are you kidding! Could it be that it was produced for Iraq? But it seems that no representative of the Iraqis was found there? Rafsanjani thought about it, linked it to recent events, and it became clear that this time they attacked the wrong target, not only for themselves, but also for the Chinese side.

After Chinese Ambassador to Iraq Hou Yefeng sent the report back to China, the top level attached great importance to it.

In fact, before that, when Tu Jida, the leader of the leading group of China's Cheng Fei's Super Seven Project in Iraq, sent the report back to China, discussions had already begun on whether to continue selling weapons to Iran.

At present, China's main strength lies in the development of the economy, this is a major premise, after 10 years of turmoil, China's economy has been very backward, now China must shift its focus to economic construction, and for military investment, has been tightened, a large number of military enterprises, are facing serious problems, think about the production of aircraft artillery factories, now the big project, is to make a few gas canisters, cast a few iron furnaces, radiators, what a waste.

However, the Iran-Iraq war has given China a chance, and at present, the 69 tank manufacturing plant, Chengfei, these enterprises with export projects have been stepping up production, creating a large amount of foreign exchange for China, so the Chinese side also attaches great importance to selling weapons to the two Iraq. ≦≧

It was Iraq that began to sell weapons, but then the Iranians came to the door, and Iran could not get weapons from the West, so it turned to China for help, and China naturally did not refuse to send them to the door.

Therefore, the military industrial departments that have arms sales projects are working at full speed, while those that do not have projects are also fooling the arms procurement personnel of the two countries.

The Iranians are very good at fooling, the Silkworm missile is an example, the Iraqis are not good at fooling, they bought 801 missiles, or they think they will modify it again, even if it is a 69 tank, after going back, it has also been upgraded with German technology.

Therefore, the point of the military industry is to begin to fool the Iranians, hoping that the Iranians will place more orders. And the far-sighted military-industrial complex began to choose to cooperate with Iraq in development.

However, the situation is slowly changing, and in the situation of the Iran-Iraq battlefield, Iran is already constantly losing, especially if Iraq completely occupies Khuzestan Province, Iran will no longer have much economic strength to buy a large number of weapons, but Iraq is different. ≦≧

Iraq has been actively developing relations with China, and, the difference is that Iraq is not only importing Chinese weapons, but also carrying out joint development with China, and the successful one is that the super seven fighter jointly developed by Iraq and Chengfei has been modified in Iraq, and its combat effectiveness can be said to surpass any fighter currently developed by China, and this is the first fighter developed by China with over-the-horizon air combat capabilities, and it is piloted by Pakistani pilots to take off and participate in the war. It is also confirmed that this fighter has outstanding star capabilities. Pakistan has placed an advance order of 40 aircraft, which is the most advanced project in the history of arms exports between the two countries.

Although this kind of fighter is exported to Pakistan, however, the domestic air force has begun to red-eyed, they have been eyeing this kind of fighter that was originally for foreign trade export under the condition that the J-8 2 project is not going well, but unfortunately, the state does not have the funds to allocate funds to purchase, and those avionics are modified in Iraq, and the Americans are keeping an eye on it, lest this technology flow into China.

In addition, Iraq has also invested in the domestic Yun-10 project to improve the 801 missile, and Iraq has not only bought weapons from China, but has risen to the level of partnership.

China sold weapons to Iran, Iran has the capital to carry out a ground war, Iraq has lodged a serious protest against China, this kind of diplomatic aspect, China zhèngfu originally did not intend to pay attention, however, the Iraqi Qusai guy, put forward an attractive and irresistible condition, as long as the weapons are not exported to Iran, Iraq will buy more weapons from China, and moreover, it will also bring China investment in reform and opening up, which is tantamount to a send-off for China in urgent need of economic development.

However, this will hurt the feelings of the Iranian people, therefore, within the high-level, some disputes have been formed, and the specific departments responsible for export projects are also different, especially the plant responsible for the production of Type 69 tanks, which is now producing tanks for Iran, and this kind of tank, Iraq has its own tank production line, plus hopes to continue to provide Iran with this cheap tank, you know, in China, the total number of orders for this tank is less than 100 units.

Cheng Fei is somewhat inclined to cooperate with Iraq, because from Iraq, they have broadened their horizons and learned about the world's advanced level of style, which is very beneficial to their development of the next generation of fighters. Because, although the No. 10 project has not yet been officially established, the preliminary pre-research has begun.

In their plan, Project 10 is also to adopt the B data bus, which is now the standard bus technology of the US military aircraft, and the Super 7, which is being refitted, is based on this technology, and they do not want Iraq to be angry and terminate the current important project of their company.

The production of J-7 fighters for Iran can be suspended, because the J-7 for Jordan is also in production, and there are domestic orders, and they can support it. Moreover, Iraq has also injected funds into Chengfei, and the funds provided last time for the transformation of Super Seven have not yet been spent.

While the country was still arguing, Iran finally made China make up its mind.

An oil tanker in Kuwait was sunk by an Iranian anti-ship missile, the Sea Hawk 2 imported from China.

This is not a matter of giving Chinese weapons a long face, whether it hits a Kuwaiti oil tanker or an Iraqi oil tanker, it is a civilian ship!

The only thing that makes them happy is that these missiles are not shipped directly from China, but through North Korea. Therefore, when necessary, China can completely put aside relations, such missiles are not exported from China, and as for whether they are transferred by a third country, it has nothing to do with China.

This incident directly alarmed the senior leaders.

After careful deliberations, they finally made a decision to suspend arms exports to Iran, and at the same time, actively negotiate with Iraq to bring them closer to each other, and, at an appropriate time, invite Iraqi leaders to visit China.

Why is the whole world on the side of Iraq! Rafsanjani heard the news and his eyes showed great dissatisfaction. (To be continued.) To be continued
