July 18ri, 1985. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info{{}}
Moscow International Airport.
A four-engine airliner resembling a Boeing 707 has landed on the runway, an airport built specifically for the Moscow Olympics.
The cabin door opened, and a young Iraqi leader, Qusay-Abdullah, waved his hand, and suddenly there was a jubilant applause below.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union, Shevardnadze personally came to pick up the plane, looked at Qusay, who got off the plane, and said: "President Qusay is very welcome to the Soviet Union!" ”
"It is a great honor to be here in this great country." Qusay said.
The last time Qusayi came, he came only as a representative of one of President Saddam's advisory groups, but this time, he has become the real leader of Iraq and a legendary leader in the Middle East who is impressive in the world, and this time this leader's visit to the Soviet Union is even more meaningful. {{}}
Correspondingly, Gorbachev, who had a cordial conversation with Kusay last time, has now become the leader of the country, and the leader of the Red Sè Empire, a trembling existence in this world.
Less than half a year after Gorbachev took over the power of the Soviet Union, he invited the President of Iraq to visit the Soviet Union, which represents the importance of the leaders of the new Red Empire to that country in the Middle East, and what kind of agreement will be reached at this meeting between the two sides?
These are all questions that journalists from all over the world are very curious about.
At the same time, they are very curious. What kind of plane is that special plane of President Qusay?
"Is that a Boeing 707?" A reporter asked.
"No, it's just a passenger plane modeled after the Boeing 707, a Y-10 passenger plane jointly produced by Iraq and China!" Another reporter familiar with the matter said.
"What? Will Iraq and China also be able to jointly produce passenger aircraft? Wasn't Iraq only able to assemble a few F-20 fighters? ”
"Dozens of such airliners have been sold, and in the Middle East, they are everywhere. Another "informed" journalist said with confidence: "I've been to the Middle East a few times. It's all this kind of airliner. ”
Qusai regards Yun 10 as his special plane, and naturally has a deep meaning, where he goes. will take this kind of passenger plane wherever it will be, invisibly, to make a propaganda for Yun 10. To become a leader's special plane, but there must be enough xing, which is enough to show that this kind of aircraft is very mature, is worthy of the purchase and use of the civil aviation departments of various countries, and the price is much lower than that of the same type of passenger aircraft in the Western world, which can be described as good quality and low price.
The appearance of the Yun 10 at the Moscow airport was photographed by many reporters, especially the scene of Qusay getting off the Yun 10, which was taken as headline news by many newspapers. Of course, for this model, some newspapers actually mistook it for a Boeing 707, and ignorance will be ridiculed. The reporters who wrote these press releases were scolded by the editor-in-chief, and at the same time, this kind of aircraft was more widely publicized. The plane, which is very similar to the Boeing 707, is actually the Yun-10!
Afterwards, Boeing, which produced Boeing 707 passenger aircraft, couldn't help but jump out and took legal action against China's malicious imitation and infringement, but the result ended in nothing, because China did not have such a law at that time!
Qusay got into his car and arrived at the Kremlin, where a welcome party was held for him. {{}}
At this meeting, Qusay attached great importance to it, because he came with a package of arms purchases.
At the same time, Gorbachev also attaches great importance to it, because he has a plan to sell more weapons to Iraq and bring profits to the Soviet Union.
The Kremlin, which has been the seat of power in Russia since the Tsarist era, ushered in a new era when the October Revolution led by Lenin overthrew the old system.
There used to be peasants who turned over and became masters who wanted to set fire to this place, but Lenin stopped them, because, from now on, this place is the property of the people!
It is indeed a great property of the Soviet Union, with all kinds of Russian architecture, and it is an important cultural heritage of Russia. {{}}
Georgiev Hall, the most famous of the Kremlin's halls, is a masterpiece of Russian craftsmanship. The hall is oval in shape, with 6 gilded two-branch chandeliers hanging from the dome. The dome and surrounding walls are painted with huge frescoes of the battles won by the Russian army from the 15th to the 19th centuries AD. The façade of the hall has 18 columns, all crowned with statues symbolizing victory.
Such a place, full of Russian specialties, and the newly added scythe and axe flags on top, is spacious enough that it has always been the traditional site of the welcoming ceremony of the Soviet zhèngfu.
Qusay came here and met Gorbachev.
At this time, Gorbachev exuded a kind of vitality that seemed to be young people, compared with the old men of the previous years, Gorbachev was already young enough, and the great Soviet Union seemed to be contaminated with youthful style. {{}}
"General Secretary, I am very happy to see you again." Qusay said.
"I am very much looking forward to seeing each other again, and today we are finally together again in Moscow, two years after which His Excellency Qusay has become the youngest leader of Iraq and the world." Gorbachev said with great feeling.
"Your country is the same, under the leadership of the general secretary, the Soviet Union will definitely stand in the world with a more prosperous and powerful attitude." Qusay said.
There were many figures on both sides, almost all the members of the Soviet Union's main Zhongyāng Politburo, various high-level leaders came, and in Iraq, it was Hekmat, Tariq, and Karim, the deputy commander of the navy, who accompanied Qusay.
However, this kind of meeting with a large enough number of people is symbolic, because big things are always decided by a small number of people.
After two hours of friendly exchanges in the Georgiev Hall, in the adjacent Catherine Hall, a friendly exchange took place.
This time, the number of people attending the meeting was reduced, and on the Soviet side, there were only General Secretary Gorbachev, Defense Minister Sergei, KGB Chairman Chebrikov and Ligachev.
On the Iraqi side, only Iraqi President Qusay, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Al-Hekmat, Foreign Minister Tariq Tariq, and Deputy Minister of General Armament of the Army Amir.
This is an important meeting between the two sides and will discuss a range of important issues.
"President Qusay, the world's oil prices are still hovering in a very low range, which has a great impact on our oil exporters." Ligachev said first.
At present, the international oil price is hovering around $21 per barrel, which is far from the highest level in history, and although this is much higher than the stable $18 per barrel before the Iran-Iraq war, the Soviet Union still feels dissatisfied, and if it can reach $30, or even $40 per barrel, then the Soviet Union's profits will be even higher.
"Yes, the international oil price is still a little low, and our OPEC members are preparing to gradually reduce production and restore the crude oil market to a reasonable level, but now many non-OPEC oil producers have increased their oil extraction and export capabilities, while some OPEC members are quietly and secretly increasing oil exports and breaking quotas, resulting in weak oil prices." "It's not in our interest to have too low oil prices, and we in Iraq will do our best to raise them," Qusay said. ”
In later generations, throughout the late eighties, oil prices have been very weak, and now, it is very good to be able to stabilize to such a price, however, Qusay said that he will try his best to help raise oil prices.
"Energy exports are related to the income of all our oil-producing countries." Gorbachev took over the conversation, he didn't know, Ligachev would say this, fortunately, Qusay's answer was reasonable, and they couldn't find anything wrong: "Stable and suitable oil prices are of great benefit to our Soviet Union and Iraq, as a friendly country of the Soviet Union, our relations with Iraq have always been very friendly, and this time President Qusai was invited to come, in the hope that we can deepen the cooperative relationship between each other, last time President Qusay proposed, I want to participate in our GLONASS satellite navigation project, and after our repeated research, we finally decided to invite your country to join our project. ”
Although before he came, Kusai already had a big basket of plans, but now that he hasn't mentioned it, Gorbachev gave him such a big gift, which makes him really feel a little overjoyed, but now, although he is very young, he has long passed that restless age.
"I wonder what kind of cooperation your country intends for us to use?" Qusay asked.
If Iraq only contributes money, the Soviet Union contributes technology, and the two sides jointly use it at that time, only the South Asian Asan can do this kind of thing, and Qusay will definitely not be fooled.
What Qusay needs is the technology of navigation satellites, and only in this way can he make technical reserves for the huge system of RI reception. rs
