After receiving President Qusay's reply, Taha knew that this wicked man had to be himself. Pen&Fun&Pavilion www.biquge.info{{}}
During Qusay's trip abroad, Taha presided over Iraq's affairs, and he knew that he would have to deal with American diplomats.
"Report, U.S. Ambassador Brightman urgently asks for a meeting." Sure enough, just as Taha was thinking about how to get the U.S. side to agree to President Qusay's proposal, the U.S. ambassador had arrived.
In this way, the initiative is in their own hands.
"Hello Vice President, it's a great pleasure to see you so soon." Brightman said that now, the president of Iraq, the foreign minister, and others have gone to the Soviet Union, and he is very afraid that he will be delayed by those second-rate adjutants, and now, as soon as he makes a request, he meets the current person in charge of Iraq, and he does not waste time, which can be regarded as a trace of relief, and he feels that he will definitely succeed this time.
Taha's biggest position now is the vice chairman of the Baath Party and the deputy prime minister of Iraq, but he is still used to being called vice president. {{}}
The nuclear submarine at sea is still waiting for itself, without the intention of the Iraqi high-level, they are just monitoring the Baton Ruri like that, and they don't even know how to lend a helping hand!
Although this incident occurred in the Persian Gulf, they all know that this incident has nothing to do with the Iraqis, and moreover, it has always been regarded by the Iraqis as their own inland sea, and if it is said to be excessive, it is their fault, but for the sake of the friendly exchanges between the United States and Iraq. Iraq should help with this, right?
"yes. I'm also very happy to meet you, one thing. I would like to ask clearly, what happened to the nuclear submarine of your country that suddenly appeared on the waters of our Persian Gulf? You know, our entire Arab world advocates denuclearization, and we have to seriously protest to your country! Taha said.
"That submarine of ours broke down. So, forced to surface. Brightman felt that he was too unqualified to be an ambassador, and as soon as he finished saying this... I knew I had said the wrong thing. {{}}
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Taha pulled down his face very dissatisfied: "This means that your country's submarines have been wandering around the inland sea of our Persian Gulf all along, and this time it was just an accident that came out of the bottom of the sea?" How many nuclear submarines do you have at the bottom of our sea? ”
"No, that's not what it means." "It was our nuclear submarine that discovered a Soviet nuclear submarine," Brightman said. Secretly infiltrated the Persian Gulf, in order to protect the safety of our allies, we had to enter the interior of the Persian Gulf, and this is the first time that our submarine has entered the interior of the Persian Gulf. ”
"Our Navy is capable of defending the security of the Persian Gulf and does not need nuclear submarines of your country." "We are waiting for the president to come back and make a solemn protest to your country, which is a disregard for our sovereignty," Taha said. ”
Although there are many countries on the coast of the Persian Gulf, however. These powers, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are Iraq's allies, and Iran is Iraq's puppet, so now listening to Taha's shameless claim that this is Iraq's inland sea, although Brightman very much wants to ask him which international convention is this, whether it has been recognized by the whole world, but, thinking about the help that is urgently needed now, thinking about the possibility of problems with the ship's hull, maybe a new situation will happen at the next moment, such as the terrible thing of the ship's hull, Brightman still decided not to conflict with the other party. {{}}
"In particular, if your nuclear submarine has a nuclear leak, it will seriously threaten the security of our region, and the shipping lanes of the busy Persian Gulf will also be greatly affected, so I hope that you will immediately drive this nuclear submarine away and guarantee that it will not appear again in the Persian Gulf." Taha said.
"Our nuclear submarines are very safe, and now, the nuclear reactor has been shut down, there will be no nuclear leakage, and there will be no nuclear contamination." Brightman explained.
"That's the best, I hope you get this submarine away as soon as possible, the sudden appearance of the nuclear submarine this time seriously threatens our national security, we must express our serious protest to you through diplomatic channels." Taha said.
Listening to the other party's protests, I hope that my own side will get this submarine away immediately, if this submarine can go by itself, why do you need to float to the sea, let alone come here to tell the other party, your own submarine has come here and the other party will not know!
Brightman decided not to go around in circles with the other party, the other party led himself astray, or showed that his intention was the main thing! Although the current atmosphere has not yet been set up, it is a big deal to give the other party a rental fee, protest? It's not just to make some profits!
Brightman knew that the guy in front of him was scheming, if he didn't stop there, maybe the two of them talked for three hours, and they were still protesting and circling it, and it was dark outside, and those poor submariners had no nuclear power, only spare batteries, and now after several hours of waiting for rescue, I'm afraid the power was going to run out, right?
"This time, our nuclear submarine broke down due to a collision with a Soviet submarine underwater, so we ask you to lease the dock of the shipyard for us to inspect the damage to the submarine in order to propose a solution. {{}}," Brightman said.
Not only can't you drive away, but now you have to come to the shore? When Taha heard this, his face became very ugly: "No, doing so will seriously threaten our security, who knows if there is a nuclear leak in your place?" We will absolutely not allow such a damaged nuclear submarine, a submarine with a nuclear leak at any moment to go to our shipyards! However, Taha's heart was very full, it turned out that the Americans couldn't get the submarine back safely on their own, and wanted to use Iraqi shipyards, is it so easy for Iraq to borrow? Make them pay more!
"Vice President, we, the United States, have always maintained good relations with your country, and we have maintained close relations with your country's President Qusay, we have provided your country with the production line of F-20 fighters and F404 engines, and we have provided your country with various advanced weapons including Black Hawk helicopters and Paveway laser-guided bombs. Brightman felt it was time to put some pressure on the other side. {{}}
"Yes, but we have also seen that your country is also providing Israel with all kinds of advanced weapons to slaughter our Arab compatriots and secretly developing nuclear weapons, which has been unanimously condemned by the international community, but your country has continued to support and provide Israel with a large number of advanced aircraft, while our requests to your country to purchase F-15 and F-16 fighter jets have always been denied. Even now, you have imposed an arms embargo on the ISE, and spare parts, including engines, are still being shipped to the ISE, can you make us feel that we are our friends? We have been denied many requests to you to purchase weapons, especially recently, when we have even offered to purchase a few pre-jing radars. Taha said.
"Regarding the recent purchase of several pre-jing radars, we will soon adopt them in China." Before he came, Brightman had already received information about this, and if he wanted to get Iraq to agree, he had to pay some price, right? The export of a few radars like that will not pose much of a threat to the E.
"We now, in addition to buying a few pre-jing radars, we also need to buy a few more advanced pre-jing equipment to make up for our shortcomings." Taha said.
More advanced pre-jing equipment? Brightman felt that the other party would say something that would be difficult for him to accept.
Sure enough, what he heard made him very unexpected and felt expected.
"We are now at the invitation of Iran to protect the entire Iranian sky, so our pre-jing machine is very insufficient, we have applied for the purchase of E-3 pre-jing aircraft from your country several times, but it has been rejected, this time, we hope that you can agree to our purchase request." Taha said.
E-3 pre-jing? What kind of joke is it that the United States itself will not export to Iraq if it drives its dry dock transport ships, and this is completely outside the bottom line of the United States, especially since the United States has listed Iraq as a potential threat and has drawn up a plan to support Iraq.
"Now, this kind of pre-jing machine has been booked until ninety-two years, and if your country needs it, it will be at least ninety-two years before you can get this kind of pre-jing machine." Brightman didn't say anything else, but said the fact that many of the orders from the NATO side of this kind of pre-jingjing machine, which were Saudi Arabia's, were postponed until next year.
If Iraq really wants to make a reservation, then it will take the deposit first, and then wait until the time comes, depending on how far the situation develops, and Brightman even moved this idea in his head.
Taha shook his head, "No, besides, the production cycle of the E-3 is so long, we can't delay it for a few years, I heard that you seem to have produced a simplified pre-jing machine for the Navy, called the E-2?" This kind of pre-jing machine, there should be no country to order, right? We in Iraq, then order this kind of small and simplified pre-jing machine from your country, and wait until a few years later, the pre-jing machine jointly developed by us and Sweden will be able to be produced, although this kind of pre-jing machine xing capacity is limited, it can still meet our temporary needs. ”
e-2? Brightman listened to the tone of the other party, it seems that if he does not let go, it seems that Iraq will not agree to use their shipyard anyway, but with Iraq's existing fan hunting machine, Xing can not be too bad for the E-2, right? After all, it is a large-scale pre-jing machine, although the technology is not very mature, but the pre-jing machine jointly developed by Iraq and Sweden has also been in progress, using a phased array system, which is more advanced than the United States, so the United States exported this simplified E-2 pre-jing machine to Iraq, is it still a restricted-level technology?
