    Qi Yiming returned from the United States. Shortly after getting off the plane at the Capital Airport, he saw Liao Huairen who came to pick him up.  This man has basically become his follower in the country. In fact, he also acts as a monitor. Sometimes he is also responsible for helping 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: "Actually, this matter ultimately depends on our country itself. Between Iran and Iran, it is very unjust and easy to cause trouble. It has nothing to do with the base.  This time the package is from Factory 617. Did you know that these geniuses put together some of the information you sent and copied it into a new type of tank called Rhino or something like that?¡±

    "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. It is also the most outstanding second-generation tank.  It¡¯s done, 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: "That's right, 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 funding.  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 paid the last two hundred dollars in the performance of its contract  He ordered all the tanks to be converted into Rhino tanks, and then spent a sum of money to order more than 200 additional tanks. Eventually, an armored force of 500 Rhino tanks would be assembled.

    Originally, this should be a good thing. If this order of hundreds of millions of dollars can be achieved, it will be very beneficial to both the 617 factory and the country.  However, this news reached the ears of the Iranians, who were very dissatisfied with our approach. The Iranian ambassador Nazar threatened that if we conducted such a business, they would suspend the F-14 transfer plan with us.  "

    After hearing the ins and outs of this incident, Qi Yiming also scratched his head.  As for the unscrupulous delivery of weapons to both sides, the five gangsters in the Security Council are all doing the same thing. They are venting their anger on China alone because they see that China is relatively weak and Iran still has F-14s in its hands.  Card.

    "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 moved by Ping Lao'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, they just want to get 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 with a strong Persian style in the Iranian Embassy, ??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."  Evil, but your country is enjoying the friendship with us while putting the ancestors?The sale of weapons to Iraq may cause greater harm to our country.  We demand that China immediately stop such unjust behavior, otherwise our country will take severe countermeasures.  "Although the Iranian ambassador's voice was not loud, he seemed very angry, and his beard curled up and down on his mouth, 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.  "

    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 terminate 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.  It was a net loss for China.  Iran has a history of 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 because of some ridiculous and ridiculous thing,  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 threatening 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.  We are looking down on us by extorting and suppressing them. 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'm 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 wherever it is 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 spread the flames of war to oil tankers from neutral countries.  They used Mirage F1, Super Etendard, and even the H-6 obtained from China, and 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 was when the Iranian F-14s became increasingly unable to take off against the Iraqis due to poor maintenance and lack of parts.  If, because it offends the Chinese, China completely turns to Iraq and provides them with advanced fighter jets like FC-1 and JH-7, then the blow to Iran will be terrible.

    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 at a cheap price. 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 stripped to the end, and the angry Iranian President Khomeini will probably 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 on 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, and every transaction is taken very seriously.  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 Xiaolongs, I can make the decision to sign one with Iran.According to the memorandum of understanding, all aviation equipment is prohibited from being exported to Iraq.  At the same time, we are also willing to provide Iran with better equipment. For example, we know that Tehran¡¯s air defense is under great pressure now, and our country¡¯s latest developed Hongqi-2BM7 air defense missile can effectively intercept enemy fighters that have invaded Iran¡¯s airspace¡±
