The two Iraqis were originally a blood feud, but in the face of a formidable enemy like the United States, the blood feud can only help each other side by side.

Hussein continued: "The United States is currently imposing sanctions and blockades on Iraq, and a small amount of 'oil-for-food' quotas cannot meet the demand. We want to use Iran's channels to export oil."

"No problem, we also have our own people at the top of Iran, and the import and export channels can be shared with Iraq." Rouhani is very clear that the time limit of one and a half years is very tight, and all obstacles to preparations for war must be cleared.

The longer Iraq hangs out, the safer Iran will be.This is the reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold.

"I will return to Iraq immediately to open up the pipeline for oil exports."

Hussein has a heavy task.After all, Iraq has been blocked for more than ten years, the oil wells and pipelines have been in disrepair for a long time, and the production capacity has long been greatly reduced.

Rouhani expressed his willingness to assist Iraq with some equipment and personnel, but he was more concerned, "How do you plan to take advantage of China's open procurement market?"

Hussein opened his mouth, wanting to say what powerful weapon he wanted.

But looking at the stylish customers in the cafe and the continuous traffic outside the window, he sighed: "We first need to improve people's livelihood under the supervision of Americans."

If people's livelihood is not improved, there will be no popular support, and without popular support, there will be no resistance.

Saddam's brutality was not at all the root cause of his downfall.The dilemma is that he and his Ba'ath Party are too incompetent, and the society they rule is still a loose and backward tribal alliance, not a modern country at all.

The tribal alliance is too old, even inferior to the feudal system, and there is no way to mobilize enough manpower and material resources.If it weren't for the oil in the ground, the countries in the Middle East would be no different from the poor ghosts in the North African desert.

What Hussein can do is to get some money first, get some modern industrial products, try to appease the hearts of the people as much as possible, and reduce the leading party in his country.

"We need food, clothing, and general industrial products. We need to make the people grateful and not to be rebelled by the Western media. This needs at least tens of billions of dollars.

I hope to sell as much oil as possible in exchange for cheap goods from China.If I have extra money, I hope I can buy some weapons. "

Hussein calculated that Iraq's current mining capacity is too weak to support large-scale procurement.A year and a half is too short, so he is quite worried.

Rouhani opened his mouth, eager to say that Iran might be able to help.However, China does not purchase oil without limit, and it is best for Iran to take all of the more than 300 billion US dollars. "What are you going to buy?" Hussein asked rhetorically.

"Similar to you, the priority is civilian supplies and oil extraction equipment, and then weapons and equipment." Rouhani thought for a while, "Among weapons, the most important are combat command and air defense systems, especially anti-stealth radars."

When facing the US military's equipment superiority, China has made many whimsical ideas, such as 'three strikes and three defenses' and the like.In the end, it was discovered that what can deal with high-tech weapons must also be the same high-tech weapons.

'Fast forward eight years', China seems to have copied the answer and developed a large number of equipment for the advanced weapons of the US military.Fighting stealth fighters is the headline of the headlines.

Especially with the J-[-], you can use similar weapons to verify the effectiveness of your own equipment, thus eliminating many seemingly reliable but delusional tricks.

Now Yankee's F22 has just been finalized and has not yet entered service.But B2 'Ghost' and F117 'Nighthawk' have long been famous.The only way to deal with them is to use meter wave search radar and multi-base cooperative radar.

According to Zhou Qingfeng, as long as they give money, China does not mind exporting the latest anti-stealth equipment to the Middle East battlefield for testing.As long as he can take down the Yankee's stealth fighter, he has no intention of slapping the opponent.

Hussein and Rouhani found out about each other, and then worked hard for the destiny of their respective countries.Marco Shi, who just came to power, is also working hard to reverse the decline of the 'Brotherhood'.

"We must change our previous strategy and take the initiative to move closer to the political circles."

Mark chose Washington as the new headquarters of the 'Brotherhood', and took a tough attitude towards the other executive committee members of the 'Brotherhood' that had been summoned before him.

In front of Marco Shi, there were three corpses lying in a pool of blood.It's the cadre of 'fraternity' who don't want to follow him, so they go after the late Father Clark.

Faced with the coup-like scene, the remaining members of the executive committee were stunned for a long time and said, "Your Excellency Ma Keshi, do you have any plans?"

"I want to run for senator, or even president. I want to go to the political arena to change the destiny of the country." Marcos lowered his head and glanced at the crowd, "Are you willing to help?"

Those who are not willing are dead, and the rest are naturally willing.

Chapter 03

End of July 02.

President Bush Jr. delivering a speech to Congress.

This 'idiot' who failed to start the war in Afghanistan and failed to do anything in Iraq pointed the finger at Sino-US trade.He believes China is using its 'developing country status' to pose a threat to the US economy.

The news came so abruptly that it confused both political and economic circles in the United States.But the well-informed 'Holy Light' team felt tight—history is trying to return to its original track.

Also at the end of the month, a newly established Iranian oil supplier signed an import and export contract worth hundreds of billions of RMB with the 'Shengguang Group' at the fastest speed.

Zhou Qingfeng and Rouhani signed the contract as representatives of China and Iran.Both sides have extremely urgent trade needs, hoping to get oil and commodities before the United States disrupts the situation.

The two parties agreed to use RMB to denominate commodities, and the newly established 'Kunlun Bank' provided financial support for this undisclosed transaction, bypassing the international financial system controlled by the Yankees as much as possible.

It is said that it is not public, but domestic companies are still very sensitive to this [-] billion-scale contract.

'Three Barrels of Oil' took away the imported Middle East crude oil from 'Holy Light'.The oil extraction and refining equipment and oil field projects required by Rouhani are also responsible for the 'three barrels of oil'.

When the contract was signed, the representative of "Three Barrels of Oil" was on the scene, and the back molars of each smile could be seen-because Iran's demand was very urgent, the profit was very high.

The moment Rouhani signed, the mood was both heavy and light.

What is heavy is that countries in the Middle East have been bullied by Europe and the United States.As a country dominated by Aryan whites, Iran has suffered a terrible encounter in the Western world, and was forced to turn to China for help.

The easy thing is that China's thigh looks quite thick, and it is willing to let Iran hug it.It's just that China is not as generous as the Soviet Union in the past. It is neither willing to end in person, nor is it willing to give military aid generously. It just wants to do business.

After signing the oil export contract, the oil equipment import contract, and then the oil field development contract, Rouhani's hands were numb.

The representatives of 'Three Barrels of Oil' watched with their feet on the spot, smiling all with strange expressions—reserved but unable to hold back, and the muscles on their faces twitched like they were performing a funny show.

China is indeed an oil-poor country, and its oil reserves and quality are completely incomparable with those of the United States and Russia.Abandoned oil fields that others think are too expensive to exploit are, in the eyes of the Chinese, treasures that can be exploited with 'second drive' and 'three drive'.

If you can go to the Middle East to extract oil, you can wake up from the dream of "three barrels of oil" - the Middle East has low mining costs, good oil quality, high refining efficiency, and naturally large profits.

If it were not forced, "Three Barrels of Oil" would not want to carry out high-cost domestic production, let alone invest in specialized refineries to eat Venezuela's viscous and heavy oil.

It's just that the large oil fields in the Middle East are basically controlled by Europe and the United States.PetroChina can only take the "oil service" contracts that others have changed hands to do the hardest and most tiring work and earn the meager oil and water.

In the original history, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, and Iraq were all controlled by the United States.

The only disobedient Iran is still arrogant.It always wants to be a dog to the United States, or to be a dog to the European Union, or to be a dog to China.

Now, Iran still can't escape the life of being a dog to the "Emperor of China"!

The oil contract was signed, followed by industrial product contracts, mainly automobiles.

Iran currently has a population of nearly 7000 million, and Iraq has 500 million.The nearly [-] million people have a lot of demand for vehicles. In the past, they all used Japanese and Korean cars.

Now……

Rouhani signed contracts for 50 trucks and [-] passenger cars.It seems that the number is quite large, but it is far from enough for the two countries. It can only be said that some of the current old vehicles are updated.

'Holy Light' has not yet set foot in automobile manufacturing, and these contracts will also change hands.Several domestic car companies came to the scene, and they were also beaming and overjoyed.

When signing the contract, Rouhani hesitated and asked, "Can Chinese cars compare to European ones?"

The representatives of the first few car companies immediately froze.Although there is a "fast-forward eight years", no one dares to say that their own products can compare with those of Europe, at best the gap between the two sides has been narrowed.

Zhou Qingfeng, who was in charge of signing, said calmly: "The performance of our cars is indeed far behind that of European ones, but our prices are also cheaper than European ones.

The money you pay for one 'Scania' heavy truck is enough to buy two 'Dongfeng' heavy trucks.We promise to build at least 2000 maintenance factories in Iran and dispatch more than [-] maintenance personnel.

Can European car manufacturers provide the same service?

Besides, the road environment in Iran is not very good, and rough driving is the norm.If you switch to a European heavy-duty truck, the maintenance fee for the broken one will make you feel distressed to death.Much better with our car.

In addition, Chinese cars are not bad, the key is that you have to take good care of them.Don't overload it by two or three times at every turn, it's pretty good to use. "

Rouhani didn't respond, but bit the bullet and signed the purchase agreement.After all, the memorandum of negotiation with the "Holy Light" clearly states that China purchases Iranian oil and Iran purchases Chinese products.

The key payment is RMB.

In the era when the renminbi was not yet internationalized, this money could only be spent in China.

It was President Zhou who told the truth, which made the car company representatives on the scene dumbfounded.

With the rise of China's economy, China's trucks have made great contributions.If they all buy European and American trucks, they will have to pay back all the money the country earns.

Is the performance of the vehicle a bit poor? You get what you pay for, and it’s not that it can’t be used.

Promise to build a repair shop, how much is that?Ordinary people can start a repair shop with hundreds of thousands of dollars.After sales, you can still sell accessories, such as tires and engine oil, and continue to make money.

As long as the Middle East market is opened, let alone [-] repair shops, [-] are willing to open.

If there were no disciplinary requirements, the representatives of several car companies who came to the signing site would have to communicate with Rouhani in private to fight a price war with each other and cut each other's profits.

But now the contract is signed by 'Holy Light', President Zhou let it go: "Anyone who dares to lower the price privately to find an order from the Iranians, I will kick him out."

Some people don't believe in evil, and feel that I am a big state-owned enterprise with the support of the leaders above. Organization without discipline.

The car company representatives who were able to come to the scene were very happy. Although 'Holy Light' is domineering, it has raised the price, and exporting one is equivalent to selling three domestically.

This business is really good.

Signed big oil and car orders, followed by some small things like home appliances, clothing, building materials and toys.The total is only tens of billions of RMB, and Rouhani signed it easily.

After you're done, there's champagne to celebrate.

Zhou Qingfeng doesn't usually drink alcohol, so he took a sip to adapt to the atmosphere.He lightly clinked glasses with Rouhani, "China will not disappoint our Iranian friends, and will definitely support you in building your own country better."

Rouhani will open a national account at the 'Kunlun Bank', and 'Sacred Light' will pay an oil advance of 200 billion yuan to his account.

The company representatives at the signing site all expressed their chests that as long as the money from Iranian customers arrives in the account, they will immediately fulfill the contract and support the Iranian brothers in fighting against the United States with quality and quantity.

Rouhani didn't know what expression to use to respond to these words-Iran doesn't want to fight the United States at all, and also wants to do business with the United States. The current situation is really helpless.

There was a signing in the morning, a luncheon at noon, and a secret activity in the afternoon.

Rouhani was dragged by helicopter to an air force base near the imperial capital to visit the ongoing air show—the hard-hearted Iranian military finally had nowhere to go, and had no choice but to come to China to see the latest "double-engine J-[-]".

The Iranian Air Force is a typical example of high-sightedness and low-handedness. After importing a batch of American-made F-14 "Tomcats", they thought that the best fighter in the world was the "Tomcat".

In the 60s, the 'Tomcat', the first third-generation machine, was really powerful.

But almost half a century has passed, and the Iranian pilots trained by the United States are almost dead.They still think that 'Tomcat' is invincible, which is very stupid.

'Double-engine J-27' was forcibly launched by Zhou Qingfeng.At the beginning, Shen Fei wanted to localize the Su-27, but he killed him abruptly—it's not that the Su-[-] is not good.But copying homework is too bad, it is irresponsible to the country and the army.

There is a famous saying in engineering circles, 'If you can work forward, you can't reverse it'.

Shen Fei's big dream at the beginning was to get the prototype from Ukraine and do surveying and mapping by himself, but the result was that he couldn't solve the problems of the prototype and killed the pilot.

The J-[-] was designed by himself at any rate, and the enlargement and modification were also targeted. After the modification, it also proved that Zhou Qingfeng's original choice was correct.At least there will be no such thing as changing the fire control program of Russian-made fighter jets with medium-guided missiles.

After Rouhani arrived at the airport, it happened that an Iranian pilot had just landed on the runway after completing a test flight from a two-seat trainer plane.He hurried over to ask about his flying experience.

"How? Are Chinese fighter jets comparable to American ones?"

After getting off the plane, the Iranian pilot was still wearing a one-piece flight suit, carrying a helmet, and meditating.The instructor who took him to fly did not come down, but another Iranian pilot went up and continued to go for a ride in the sky.

Questioned by Rouhani, the Iranian pilot seemed to wake from a sleepwalking state.The latter sighed and said: "We have been blocked for too long, and the F-14 'Tomcat' is really behind. Chinese fighter jets are no worse than American ones."

"Really?" Even though Rouhani had psychological expectations, the reality was a bit cruel after all.

During the Iran-Iraq War, the F-14 was in the limelight.

Iran regards it as a military weapon and refuses to show it to others easily. The Chinese went to Iran for exchanges, and when they saw the F-14 and wanted to take pictures, they were all regarded by the Iranians as stealing secrets.

Iranians really think so.Because there is really no such pride in shooting, so that they deified this fighter.However, due to the lack of spare parts, most of Iran's 'Tomcats' cannot fly, and almost none of them can fly.

"The glass cockpit is easy to use, and the bubble-style hatch has a wide view." The Iranian pilot said in a deep voice: "One level three, four large monitors, this is much simpler than the instrument cockpit of the 'Tomcat'."

The F-14A was still designed in the 60s. At that time, computers had just evolved into the transistor era, and the avionics performance was terrible.Aircraft control is entirely up to the pilot himself.

'Double-engine J-[-]' is also a product of the new century.Fly-by-wire flight control is a standard configuration, and the man-machine control is inferior to the "Tomcat" decades ago.

For example, using an LCD screen can greatly reduce the burden on the pilot and concentrate on the most critical combat aspects.

The improvement of avionics can also provide many functions that were not possible in the past.Just like the first generation of analog 'big brother' has evolved into a smart touch screen, the user experience is unparalleled.

Iranian pilots also know the trend and trend of fighter jets in the world from various channels, but the impact brought by the actual experience is still too great, and many old flying habits have to be subversively adjusted.

There are still a few 'Double-Engine J-[-]' parked in the hangar, and a group of ground crews from Iran are listening to the introduction from the Chinese side - the J-[-] is designed based on the 'U.S. military standard', and the 'Double-Engine J-[-]' goes a step further. Improved 'National Military Standard' design.

In terms of maintainability, the 'Double-Engine J-[-]' can also be called the best of the 'Three and a Half Generation' fighters, and it is also a great improvement compared to the 'Tomcat'.

Rouhani didn't understand the good or the bad. He only observed the body of the 'Double-engine J-[-]' at close range, and asked the Iranian pilot beside him, "Why didn't you see the weapon pylon?"

This is what makes Iranian pilots extremely emotional, "It is said that a lot of 'J-[-]' technologies and ideas were used in the development of this heavy fighter.

Its external pylon seems to be shrinking, and the body is enlarged, so the built-in magazine is simply set up according to the standard of the fourth-generation aircraft, which can hold six missiles or guided bombs of "two near four middle". "

Rouhani still didn't understand, and asked: "What's the advantage of this? I see that many fighter planes can carry more than a dozen missiles. Wouldn't the mounting capacity be lower with the built-in magazine?"

The Iranian pilot showed an expression of "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense", "The full mount capacity is generally used for show. If the fighter plane is fully mounted, the resistance will be too great, the maneuverability will be greatly reduced, and it will not even be able to enter supersonic speed.

For pilots, it is not that the more hangs the better, it is enough to bring "two or four hits" in one battle.Instead, using the built-in magazine can keep the body streamlined and be in the best combat state at any time.

'Double-engine J-22' has good radar, good avionics, strong power and beautiful appearance.If it weren't for the F[-] and J-[-], I must think it is the best fighter in the world. "

The word 'best' is too absolute.

Rouhani does not agree with this point of view. He thinks that American and European products are better. The 'J-[-]' is at best the best fighter Iran can buy.

But this plane is not cheap.

The Chinese side changed the past sales style of "high quality and low price" and instead raised the price of fighter jets. The bare-bones price of 'Double-engine J-[-]' is [-] million RMB.This comes with no ammo and training, and no spare engine.
