Qi Yiming returned from the United States. Not long after he got off the plane at the Capital Airport, he saw Liao Huairen who came to pick him up. This man has now basically become his follower in the country. In fact, he also means to monitor people, and sometimes he is responsible for

Help Qi Yiming handle some situations.

"Old Liao, how are you doing lately? Do you miss me very much?" Qi Yiming joked with him.

Liao Huairen twitched the corner of his mouth: "You are a grown man, what do I want you to do? I didn't want to come directly to pick you up, but something went wrong, about the F-14 Tomcat case."

Qi Yiming's eyelids twitched. The Tomcat project was the thing he was most attentive to and put the most effort into. There was absolutely no room for any mistakes. He rolled his eyes and asked, "Did the Iranians change their mind?"

Liao Huairen said with a helpless smile: "In fact, this matter ultimately depends on our country. Between Iran and Iran, it is very unjust to have two boats, and it is easy to cause trouble. It has nothing to do with the base.

The contractor this time is the 617 Factory. Did you know that these geniuses put together some of the information you sent in two months and copied a new type of tank called Rhino or something."

"They got the Rhino tank out? This is a good thing. Well, although this tank is not as advanced and powerful as the Type 99, it is solid, simple in structure, reliable and durable, and it can be regarded as the most outstanding second-generation tank.

It’s already planted, and it’s no worse than the early third-generation tanks..." Qi Yiming said with great excitement. He also didn’t expect that the first tank in the game was actually completed by the 617 Factory, although there are not many Rhino tanks.

It has high technical content, but at the very least it is a very ferocious unit in the game.

But soon, Qi Yiming, who was thinking very fast, couldn't laugh anymore. He said silently: "PLA is now changing to Type 99, and we provide it for free. We don't have the money to go to 617 to order a new Rhino, so 617

Is the factory using the rhino for foreign trade?”

Liao Huairen nodded and said: "Yes, they first negotiated with Pakistan and changed all the last orders of about a hundred Type 59 tanks ordered by Pakistan into Rhino tanks, which gave Pakistan an additional amount of funds.

Later, as if they were addicted, they approached Iraq, which also had a batch of undelivered goods, and asked them if they needed new tank models."

"The results of it?"

Liao Huairen smiled even more bitterly: "Iraq is very optimistic about the combat capabilities of the Rhino tank. It has strong combat capabilities, and the operation is not particularly complicated. There are not many requirements for maintenance. Iraq not only fulfilled the last two hundred or so of its contract

The order was made to convert all tanks into Rhino tanks, and then another sum of money was spent to place an order for more than 200 additional tanks, eventually creating an armored force of 500 Rhino tanks.

Originally, this should be a good thing. If this order of hundreds of millions of dollars can be completed, it will be very beneficial to both the 617 factory and the country. But unfortunately, this news reached the ears of the Iranians. Regarding our approach,

Very dissatisfied, the Iranian ambassador Nazar threatened to suspend the F-14 transfer plan with us if we engage in such business."

After hearing the ins and outs of this incident, Qi Yiming also scratched his head. When it comes to unscrupulous delivery of weapons to both sides, the five gangsters in the Security Council are all doing the same thing. Venting their anger on China alone is because China is relatively relatively weak.

Weak, and Iran still holds cards like the F-14.

"How does the Ministry of Foreign Affairs plan to handle this matter?" Qi Yiming asked first.

Liao Huairen said: "Minister Wu reported the situation to Mr. Ping, but Mr. Ping said that you will be back soon. You are taking care of this matter before and after. It mainly depends on your opinion."

Qi Yiming was quite touched by Mr. Ping's trust and respect, but this matter was indeed a bit tricky. He could only say to Liao Huairen: "Please help me make an appointment with the Iranian ambassador. I guess they don't completely want to interrupt the agreement."

, I just want to ask for more benefits."

Originally, Qi Yiming wanted to return to the Red Alert Base as soon as possible to check the status of various project constructions, but now he has to stay in the capital to resolve the dispute with Iran.

Obviously, the main issue that the Iranians care about now is the arms trade with China, so only five hours after Liao Huairen contacted them, they found time to arrange a meeting with Qi Yiming.

In the room of the Iranian Embassy with a strong Persian style, Iranian Ambassador Nazar looked particularly angry. He sat there solemnly, looking more like a stone-like Japanese than a Persian.

"Mr. Qi, our country feels that it has been deceived. On behalf of leader Khomeini and the Iranian people, I would like to express my strong dissatisfaction and anger. The Iraqi aggressors have brought great pain to our country, which is unjust and unfair."

It is evil, but while your country is enjoying friendship with us, it sells advanced weapons to Iraq, which may cause greater harm to our country. We ask China to stop such unjust behavior immediately, otherwise our country will take severe measures

Countermeasures." Although the Iranian ambassador's voice was not loud, he looked furious and his beard curled up and down, which was a bit funny.

Qi Yiming was frightened, not to mention that he was not as irritable as ordinary young people. He could grasp the psychology of the Iranians, so he seemed unhurried. He said: "I am sorry for the consequences that the war has brought to the two countries.

I deeply regret the damage caused, but I also believe that the key to stopping the war lies in whether Iran and Iraq are willing to stop their hatred, come to the negotiating table, and withdraw the troops of both sides at the same time. In addition, I am very concerned about the tanks and combat vehicles this time.

I don’t know much about the arms sales situation, and I am not responsible for the details, so it is difficult for me to directly bypass the relevant departments and directly stop this transaction. Therefore, I can only express my regret for this."

Nazar did not expect that Qi Yiming would not agree with him at all, and angrily threatened further: "Our F-14 transaction has not been completed yet. The first batch of twelve F-14s has not yet arrived in China. Don't you?

Are you worried that we will abort this transaction?"

China has transferred 12 Xiaolongs to Iran, and a group of pilots from the Red Alert Base have also begun to serve Iran. If the transaction is suspended, Iran may seize all these aircraft and weapons.

This is a net loss for China. Iran has a history in similar situations. By kidnapping American citizens and officials in Iran, it extorted a large number of weapons from the United States for use in the war.

Qi Yiming replied calmly: "I value the spirit of the contract, and I also hope that our partners will value it. In order to reach our contract, I spent a lot of effort and energy. If it is suspended due to some ridiculous and ridiculous things,

We also cannot guarantee what kind of measures we will take to punish the party who sabotaged this matter."

Nazar slammed the table and shouted: "Are you trying to intimidate us?"

Qi Yiming smiled and said: "Of course not, I am just making assumptions. Everyone knows that the deal we reached is beneficial to both parties. But if you think that relying on these, you can deal with it in a rogue way.

Our extortion and suppression are looking down on us. I heard that Iraq is not satisfied with its air force equipment. Originally, due to our agreement with Iran, I did not plan to sell them any air force weapons, but if the agreement is broken

Yes, I am very willing to make a lot of money. Do you think that fighter-bombers with a large bomb load, carrying the kind of precision-guided bombs we provide to Iran, can drop hundreds of tons over Tehran at one time, and where important?

Where to hit, what will happen to that situation?"

After entering 1985, the Iran-Iraq war has actually entered a stalemate stage. In order to attack Iran's economic capabilities, Iraq began to sweep the war on oil tankers from neutral countries. They used Mirage F1, Super Ensign, and even bombardments obtained from China.

-6, used anti-ship missiles to sink these tankers, causing great trouble to Iran. In addition, the Iraqis also launched large-scale air strikes on major cities and civilian facilities in Iran. In early March,

Iraq dispatched more than 300 aircraft to bomb more than 30 cities in Iran.

This period is when the Iranian F-14s are increasingly unable to take off against the Iraqis due to poor maintenance and lack of parts. If it offends the Chinese and makes China completely turn to the Iraqi side, provide them with FC

-1 and JH-7, such advanced fighter jets, will be a terrible blow to Iran.

Nazar's face turned livid. He thought that by relying on this matter, he could put pressure on the Chinese and eventually cut off China's weapons support for Iraq. However, he did not expect that Qi Yiming would become even more single. If you don't make an agreement with me,

If there are good F-14 fighter jets, then I will provide the Xiaolong and Flying Leopard to Iraq cheaply. Anyway, Iraq has received a large number of loans from the Gulf countries and the West and can afford to pay the bill.

Nazar wanted to turn away and completely break the contract, but he knew that if he really offended China and caused one of Iran's few arms suppliers, or a large arms supplier, to turn against Iran, then his sin would be great, not only

His position will be severely punished, and the angry Iranian President Ayatollah Khomeini may directly escort him back to the country and shoot him to apologize.

Seeing the Iranian ambassador's face turning blue and purple, Qi Yiming also knew that he could no longer force him, so he softened his tone and said: "I can't do it if you want us to stop providing tanks to Iraq, because we all belong to different groups.

The system has different interest orientations, and I can't decide this kind of thing. What's more, China is not like an oil-producing country like Iran and Iraq. The economic situation is good. Our country is short of money and foreign exchange. Every transaction is extremely important.

Of course, we will not make it completely difficult for our Iranian friends here. If Iran is willing to place an additional order for 30 JF-17s, I can take the initiative and sign a memorandum of understanding with Iran, prohibiting the export of all aviation equipment to Iraq. At the same time,
Chapter completed!
