Chapter 338: The Visit Begins
In Jamalan, a hilly region north of Tehran, inside a well-defended dwelling.
"Cowber, my dear friend, what good news has you brought us this time?" Mohammed Karoubi looked at the regular and said:
Mohammed is a member of the Iranian parliament and a die-hard Khomeini loyalist, and one of the hijackers this time is his younger brother, Mahdi Karrubi, and he has many contacts with various arms dealers, so this time, Cooper found him first.
"Mohammed, there is great news this time, if you can release those hostages, then your country's Tomcat fighter will fly into the sky again." Cooper said.
"Mr. Cooper, pay attention to your wording, what do you mean we can let go of those hostages? We have been actively fighting the hijackers, who have been on the Tehran airport, there is no way to escape, and we have rescued a number of hostages. Muhammad said with some anger.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong." Cooper quickly changed his words and said, "If your country's political axe can help this incident end smoothly, then your country can get all kinds of weapons and parts that are urgently needed, including those valuable immortal bird missiles." ”
"What does that mean?" Muhammad asked: "These weapons are not parts that can be smuggled. ”
"From friendly countries, we can get." Cooper said.
Friendly countries? Muhammad smiled and said, "Cowber, I hope you can explain this matter clearly, because the stakes are very high. ”
Cooper originally wanted to hide it and make a lot of money for himself, but today's Muhammad was very tough, he knew that if he wanted to do business on the other party's territory, he had to do it according to the other party's wishes, although this was a violation of the rules of arms smuggling.
"It was the United States that was in a hurry to exchange for the hostages, so it was decided to deliver the parts of those fighters, and they entrusted Israel to complete the deal, and I was just a messenger." Cooper said. "Earn some pocket money by the way."
A smile appeared on Muhammad's face: "I'm very sorry, I can't call the shots in this matter, because the hostages are still in the hands of the terrorists, but I can ask the leader for instructions to see how the hostages can be rescued, but in order to show the sincerity of the United States, we hope that the United States will first ship a batch of weapons and spare parts that we urgently need." ”
So saying, Muhammad took a list out of his hand and handed it to Cober.
When Cooper saw it, it was densely written with things, parts of F-14 fighters, immortal bird missiles, radar spare parts, Tao anti-tank missiles..., and his eyes immediately went numb, is it possible? On the premise that the other party has not yet expressed anything, just ship a batch of parts to the other party first?
"We have already shown our sincerity in the hijacking, and if the United States is sincere, then let them pay us first! Because, there is already a precedent, the Americans are not keeping their promises, and this batch of parts, in fact, was originally ours in Iran, but it has been seized by the United States for several years. Muhammad said.
Cooper's heart was hesitating and struggling: "Mr. Mohammed, I am afraid I will not be able to explain if I go back like this." ”
"Then you don't have to confess, I heard that the hijackers inside are mentally deranged and will kill people at any time." Muhammad spoke, and stood up.
"Okay, I'll go back and coordinate." Cooper said that every transaction went smoothly, and he did not expect that the Iranians would put forward such harsh conditions in this transaction, but now that they have hostages in their hands, this is the biggest bargaining chip.
Watching the arms dealer go out, Muhammad immediately reported everything to the great leader Ayatollah Khomeini.
As for whether or not to release those hostages after the US weapons parts come, it depends on the leader's intentions.
In this world, even the Soviet Union did not dare to criticize the Americans, but Iran did!
………… Tu-154 airliner flew smoothly on the route to Moscow.
The USSR is the world's largest red empire!
Zhang Feng retracted his thoughts and sent back news from Iraq that the Boeing passenger plane had found that there was a fuel problem, and if it took off at that time, it was likely to cause mechanical failure, and the personnel responsible for maintaining the plane had been closely interrogated, and the situation was under investigation.
Zhang Feng knew that it must have been his idiot brother who did it, he thought that if he killed himself, he would be able to take the position? If he comes to power, it will be a tragedy for the whole of Iraq.
"Let Hasar come over for a moment." Zhang Feng shouted to the bodyguard.
This time, Hasar was discovered by Hasar, Zhang Feng became more and more interested in this female intelligence agent, this time, Hasar was also among his entourage, ostensibly a secretary, but actually responsible for collecting some intelligence on the Soviet Union.
Soon, Hasar walked in.
"Hassar, this time thanks to you for discovering that plane was untouched." Zhang Feng said: "I thank you. ”
Hasar couldn't believe his ears, what? How do you want to thank yourself?
"No, Sir Qusay, Allah willing, you are the hope of our Iraq, you must not die in the conspirators, I am just doing my best, I will do my best to keep you safe during this period of your visit." Hasar said, his chest heaving a little because of his excitement.
"Hassar, I still want to ask, how did you find out about the anomaly of the plane?" Zhang Feng asked.
"When I was in the departure hall, I found a fuel truck to refuel, but the fuel attendant's movements were very unskilled, so I felt that there was a problem, but I didn't expect that there was really a problem." Hasar said.
Questions? Zhang Feng also keenly felt that there was a problem with what Hasar said, if she could really judge that the other party had a problem just by relying on the actions of the refueler, then Hasar was simply a god!
However, he didn't break it, because he knew that Hasar would definitely not be Uday's person, and on the entire plane, it could not be Uday's person, and no one would be willing to accompany him to death, right? Including the latter as his own translator, Ajelina went to the Soviet Union this time, Zhang Feng deliberately brought Ajelina with him, there is no doubt that this is a reassurance, because Ajelina was sent by the KGB to ambush her, and taking her like this means that she has taken root by her side, and the Soviet Union will rest assured because of this, in this way, it is very beneficial to Zhang Feng.
As a big man, he will never be as free as he was in his previous life, and he has to face conspiracy and assassination all the time, which is the fate of a big man.
"Okay, you go out, it's okay on the plane, rest more." Zhang Feng said.
A few hours later, the plane landed at the Moscow airport.
Moscow is the capital of the Soviet Union, the heart of this red empire, and as a huge empire, for a figure like the head of a small country in the Middle East like Cusay to visit, almost every day, under normal circumstances, only the diplomatic department will send a few people to greet him symbolically.
But this time it was different, because Gorbachev attached great importance to relations with Iraq, and signed an arms sales order to feed several large factories of the Soviet Union, and this Qusay Excellency was a powerful figure in the newly rising Middle East, so the pomp and circumstance of greeting was quite large, at least Soviet Foreign Minister Goromiko personally came to greet him.
The former chief designer of the Nizhny Tagil Design Bureau (that is, the design bureau of the T-72 tank) Kartsev also came here, he has honorably retired from the post of designer and enjoys a retirement life, but he is not idle in Moscow, this time I heard that this little guy from the Middle East is coming, and Kartsev is very appreciative of several battles commanded by this guy, and because the main purpose of the other party's visit is to negotiate with the design bureau about the introduction of production lines, so Kartsev also came to the airport to greet him.
With Zhang Feng's current status, it is absolutely impossible to hold a meeting with Andropov and talk about the relations between the two countries, and it is absolutely impossible to have someone like the foreign minister to greet him, which can be regarded as giving him enough face, and if the situation allows, it will be a great honor to make an appointment to meet Gorbachev again.
The welcoming band at the airport was already beating a cheerful rhythm, which was none other than Iraq's national anthem.
Zhang Feng stepped off the plane and finally set foot on the land of the Red Empire.
In later generations, Zhang Feng did not catch up with the era of the existence of this empire, when Zhang Feng was born, all map manufacturers were printing new versions of the map, the Soviet Union, there was no more, that huge territory, has become a piece.
And now, at this time, the Red Empire is still at its peak, and no one in this world dares to despise its existence.
Looking at the crowd of people wearing tweed coats on the ground, Zhang Feng was frozen by a cold snap blowing in front of him, it was already late October, but he didn't expect the climate in Moscow to be so cold!
However, the flame in Zhang Feng's heart is burning, he came here, he is here to look for the Soviet Union's family, everything he fancies, will be his in the future, including the smiling face on the ground, the gray hair, the old man in good spirits, Zhang Feng is very familiar with this person in later generations, he is the chief designer of the T-72, he is quite old, he also has to eat, and he can squeeze out the juice!
"Welcome Comrade Qusay to our great Soviet visit." Foreign Minister Goromiko looked at Qusay and said.
At this time, Ajelina behind Zhang Feng followed behind him and translated for Zhang Feng.
"The Soviet Union is a great country, and it is a great honor for me to be able to visit your country." Zhang Feng said.
At this time, one of the people in the welcome band glanced quickly to this side, and was very satisfied, his subordinates, this time they did a very beautiful thing, successfully infiltrated Qusay's side, and became a celebrity around him, although he sacrificed several agents for this matter, but it was very worthwhile.
Putin knows that as Sharapova's position at Qusay's side is consolidated, his position in the KGB will also rise. It would be even better if he could be appreciated by the General Secretary, who is the former head of the KGB.
