Nikolay had to admire that Canglong was very good at doing business. He would seize your weakness and trap you to death. He obviously knew very well that Canglong had no intention of getting the Topol-M director at all. What he wanted was the most advanced Russia. The S-400 air defense missile system made a triumphant return, but it happened to take such a big detour.
That means, if I want Baiyang and you don’t give it, then let’s go to the S-400 headquarters. This missile cannot hit Russia and cannot threaten other countries. It is just a defensive weapon.
However, Russia itself has not yet installed all S-400 air defense missiles, so how can it be sold? You must know that Russia has a huge land area, and most areas are only equipped with S-300 Prodigy and the Iraqi Homeland Defense Force. The assembly now is almost exactly the same.
According to Russia's regulations on exporting weapons, they usually wait until they are equipped and start developing the next generation of weapons before selling this generation of weapons. But now Canglong wants their most advanced weapons. The most important thing is that Russia just made a mistake. You still owe someone a moral debt, so you can't just refuse to agree to this request, right?
Vivian smiled, while Su Su had a look of frustration. Canglong was really good at doing business. This S-400 Triumph was something they had been negotiating with Russia for a long time. When the Prophet Army first got on the line with the Russians, what they wanted was The S-400 made a triumphant return, but after a long discussion in the end, the Russians only agreed to give the inferior S-300 to their flagship, but it was also the most advanced.[
But now the pride of S-300 is obviously not suitable for the current Iraqi homeland air defense. The last time Basra was hit by a guided air attack, it is an example. At that time, Xiami said that if he had the S-400 Triumph, he could guarantee that Taylor would not use a missile. I want to get into Basra.
It can be seen that the Triumph is powerful, and the biggest feature of this missile is that it can defend targets from close to ten meters, but the Pride cannot.
Moreover, the biggest advantage of Triumph is that it can search for the target independently after being launched, which greatly shortens the locking time. It can directly find the target in the air without having to find it and lock it on the ground. Once it is time for war, this missile can Reduce the original time by twice.
Before the radar detects the target, the missile is launched first, and then when the radar detects it, the missile can directly lock on the target in the air. This is very effective whether it is against the enemy's fighter jets or against the enemy's tactical missiles. It is normal for the Russians not to sell.
Nikolay and Alexander hesitated for a while, and finally Nikolay said: "This needs to be approved by the president. If the president..."
Before he could finish speaking, Canglong interrupted: "You should be well aware that Iraq has no strategic depth. In the past, when we faced Kuwait and Iran, it was because we took the initiative and their missiles were not advanced enough to be able to attack on the mainland. We can protect ourselves without being attacked, but now we have to face NATO countries, especially Israel and Saudi Arabia. Both countries have a lot of troubles. If they bomb Basra with missiles, this will bring us It’s a huge threat. It’s okay if you’re not willing to sell it, but I don’t know if the Prophet Army can take care of the Russian aircraft carrier.”
Canglong's words are very simple. It's okay if you don't sell it to me. But when the Russian aircraft carrier is attacked by a large-scale missile, don't blame us for not protecting you. If you don't sell it to us, we won't be able to protect it.
Another thing that satisfied him was that the Russian military carried out a large-scale purge, especially of Russian officers in the Combined Fleet, to ensure the absolute safety of Russian personnel in Iraq. They even gave Iraq the power to directly investigate the activities in Iraq.
The rights of the Russians, and a joint response team has been established. If the Iraqi Intelligence Agency finds that a Russian officer in Iraq is a spy, they can directly arrest him and hand it over to the joint response team for review.
Of course, these were all left to Su Lai to handle. Canglong didn't notice any movement from the surrounding countries, but it didn't mean that there was no movement from them, because the American negotiators seemed to be surprisingly tough these days. When it came to releasing the hostages, they didn't do anything.
As weak as before.
This shows that the Elder Council already knows about this. Perhaps Long Yunhai has been thrown into the sea to feed the fish, and the calm may be just the eve of the storm.
At this time, Canglong was in a newly built armor factory, which was also a secret research center between China and Iran. The chief engineer of this research center was a Chinese named Cai Qin.
This is also the largest group of technical personnel dispatched by China to Iraq. Tsai Qin is the direct leader of this technical group. Their task is to develop the weapons and equipment of the U.S. First Armored Division captured by the Prophet Army, and in a short period of time, create products suitable for these
Equipment medicine.
When Cang Long saw this technical engineer from the General Armament Department, Cai Qin gave Cang Long a military salute very seriously: "Hello, Chief!"
Tsai Qin is already over fifty, far older than Cang Long, but she still knows about this deputy director of the General Intelligence Bureau and the prophet of Iraq.
Nowadays, there is no high-level person in China who does not know Canglong. Because after Iraq was established and joined the UN, the cooperation between China and Iraq was justified, especially at the General Armament Department. When Cai Qin learned that there was a Chinese in
She was almost overjoyed when Iraq gave them absolute space to experiment with weapons.
Any weapon needs to be tested in war to know how good it is. However, China has not had many wars since its reform and opening up, especially in the 21st century. Although there are many frictions around it, it has not fought a single war.
, this is a very distressing thing for technicians like them, because they want to develop weapons that are the best on the battlefield, but they cannot find the battlefield. When developing them, they will encounter many difficulties and distress, and even
Some weapons have been developed, but we don’t know what their performance is or what their actual value is on the battlefield.
This is one of the reasons why China’s military weapons cannot gain traction in the international arms market even though they are very advanced.
However, Tsai Qin found an opportunity this time. As soon as the people in the General Armament Department heard that they were coming to Iraq, almost everyone wanted to come here, whether it was the leaders from above or the technical backbone below.
However, the number of places was limited, and many people ended up being reluctant. Tsai Qin was the luckiest, because Minister of Security Li Ruomo personally ordered her to come to Iraq.
When she first arrived here, Cai Qin thought that only the prophet was Chinese, but soon she discovered that several of the senior generals of the Prophet Army were Chinese. Although they no longer had identities in China, Cai Qin knew that this
Several generals are definitely from the Chinese military. Even when we met several times, they did not adopt the attitude of generals and communicated very friendly.
Now seeing the prophet, this legendary figure, Tsai Qin was naturally excited. Not only him, but even the technicians she brought were extremely excited. After all, they are all Chinese. Maybe it is common in China, but it is not the case abroad.
There is a unique feeling.
Especially when they thought that the Prophet was their compatriot, they felt an inexplicable pride. Even when they cooperated with the Iraqi technical personnel here, they were not so unfamiliar. Before coming, they were worried about conflicts with the Iraqis.
But after arriving, they discovered that the new Iraqis regarded the Chinese as their best friends.
Although it is unknown when this tradition started, except for that coup and the Chinese who were attacked, the Chinese are the most popular here.
Whether it is from private enterprises or state-owned enterprises in Iraq, among twenty people, you can find at least one Chinese. There are even many Chinese who have regarded this new country as their second hometown, because here you can
You won't feel strange.
What impressed them most was that in major schools in Basra, in addition to teaching Arabic and English, Chinese was also a required subject.
The new Iraqis don't seem to care about the skin color of their prophet. They only know that the prophet led Iraq out of humiliation, out of poverty, and is moving towards strength...[
