Chapter five hundred and eighty third arms advertisements spread all over the world

"After a few days of attack, the warriors of the Revolutionary Guards have approached the Arab River. In front of the reporters, there is a fortified area of ​​pagan Iraqis....There are tight defenses there...and they are equipped with heavy equipment such as tanks. We... dada... bang... bang..."

At the forefront of a position, a group of war correspondents from Iranian state television were preparing to record the subsequent position offensive and defensive battles with the cooperation of the cameramen. However, their actions were really big, attracting the attention of the Iraqi defenders on the opposite side. So the heavy machine gun poured out a hot tongue of flames, and the mortars were even more cost-effective to smash them...

At the same time, the battalion commander of the Iranian mixed armored battalion who had been watching the Iraqi position with a high-power telescope, Ahmadinejad, who had been watching every move of the Iraqi position, saw this scene, immediately put the telescope down, grabbed the radio in his hand, and said loudly:

"Architecture, we can start!"

As soon as Ahmadinejad finished speaking, the six Type 82 52-caliber 155mm howitzers deployed in the rear all roared in the sky. In the blink of an eye, the huge heavy artillery shells, with the roar of death, blew up the Iraqi defense array in front of them into a sea of ​​fire. The war correspondents suppressed in the trenches watched their artillery show their power, and immediately pulled the cameraman beside him to record this very precious scene:

"Our artillery has launched a counterattack, bang... bang... bang... the huge explosion has already shocked my eardrums, but this also proves the power of this artillery. It is understood that this artillery is equipped with a brand new ammunition, which played a huge role in the defense battle of Horamshahr not long ago. Even the arrogant Iraqi soldiers exclaimed that it was 'Death Rain'... Look... This is the power of 'Death Rain'..."

As he said that, the reporter signaled the cameraman to point the camera at the Iraqi position in front. Through the extremely shaking lens, the Iraqi position was baptized by waves of pouring rain. The explosion like fried beans exploded the entire Iraqi position into silence:

"This is the 'Rain of Death'... This is Allah's punishment for the rebellious pagans..."

The war correspondent kept sighing, but at this moment, the ground under his feet began to tremble violently, and the roar in his ears made him feel an invisible sense of oppression. However, the war correspondent was not afraid, but his eyes lit up and quickly picked up the microphone and said excitedly:

"Our tanks, our tanks... This is simply the best gift from Allah to us, a brand new tank, a world-class tank... the tank that scares Iraqi pagans... It's so beautiful and majestic. To be honest, I really want to go up and kiss it..."

"Friends, it's very dangerous here, you're better off a little behind!"

Just as the battlefield reporter praised the tanks of the Iranian mixed armored battalion who were driving in excitedly, the battalion commander Ahmad suddenly stopped beside him. The camera's camera shot perfectly recorded the grand, tall and unstoppable figure of the new tank with the exciting words that the reporter could not hold on to himself:

"No! Major, with you and these tanks, I feel extremely safe, and it feels more at ease than leaning against a stone wall. I really didn't expect that this is our tank. It's so great. When I see it, I see victory..."

"You can also witness victory!"

Ahmadinejad replied lightly, then signaled the cameraman to aim at two Iraqi T-72 tanks appearing in front of him, but when they just emerged, the two new tanks in front suddenly roared, and the two T-72 tanks turned into fireballs that soared into the sky before they could react...

That night, this precious battlefield video was broadcast on Iran's state TV station. Within an hour, the surrounding national media that could receive Iranian TV signals were broadcast one after another. Then the TV screen quickly spread to all parts of the world like a virus. In conjunction with the Battle of Horamshahr, it immediately became the focus of world public opinion...

"Iran's high-profile display of these advanced weapons and equipment proves that Iran has firmly determined to use military means to solve the current dilemma. From the TV screen, it can be seen that their heavy artillery is very powerful, and the brand new tanks surpass the existing Iraqi tanks..."

"The new tank that easily destroys the T-72 tank is produced in a country in East Asia. The reporter once tried to contact the domestic person, but was refused interview..."

"Compared with the new tank, the so-called 'Death Rain' is probably the decisive equipment of the Battle of Horamshahr. Through the narrative of the Iraqi Republic Guard soldiers who participated in the battle, their armored forces were severely damaged by this weapon...

"According to military experts' interpretation, this weapon should be a new weapon to attack the armor on the top of the tank. Some experts even say that it should be a new missile, but no matter what, the emergence of this new equipment may rewrite the basic principles of armored combat..."

Within a few days, mainstream media in the world such as the Associated Press, Reuters, AFP, and BBC have all focused on this picture, and the clips taken from it have become the material for display that TV commentary is keen on. As for newspapers and magazines, paper media such as newspapers and magazines are not willing to lag behind.

For a time, titles such as "New Tanks Showing Power in the Desert", "New Weapons that Change the Principles of War", "Nightmare of Armored Clusters", "New Weapons in the Battle of Horamshahr" appeared on the front pages of major mainstream newspapers, making new equipment from a certain country in East Asia a hot topic of discussion among people from all over the world after dinner.

However, compared with the media's capture of the situation, the military and intelligence agencies of various countries are much more reliable. The so-called East Asian country was quickly identified as China. In order to obtain first-hand information on China's new weapons and equipment, the TV scenes shot by Iran's state television have also become an important object for careful research by military and military experts from various countries.

However, it was precisely through the media's repeated reports and in-depth research by military forces from various countries that the popularity of Chinese weapons and equipment spread throughout the world in an instant, especially the TV scenes that were comparable to Hollywood but were more realistic than movies, which made people with interest even more irresistible impulses.

In less than half a month, delegations from Argentina, Egypt, Sri Lanka, and even some Western countries, like migrating migratory birds, came to the so-called East Asian country, China in groups, and began to negotiate related tank procurement and cooperation matters. Soon, orders for new tanks and magic-modified 59 "Java" tanks were ordered one by one, and snowflakes flew to the manufacturers of the two tanks, Wanshan Machinery Factory and Northern Machinery Factory.

Among the many orders, the largest one is Pakistan. Just one week after the Battle of Horamshahr City, Musharraf was appointed as the Chief of General Staff by the new Pakistani government and led a delegation to visit China. Soon the two sides signed a purchase order for 100 new tanks and 300 magic-modified 59 "Java" tanks. At the same time, it also planned to introduce supporting production lines and technologies for new tanks for self-producing. The total value of the entire contract exceeded 10 billion US dollars.

Although the big order was explained in the communiqué issued by the two countries as a continuation of the previous Sino-Pakistan joint development of tank projects, those who know the inside know that Pakistan was forced to take measures to deal with the Indian armored forces improvement plan. Just as Lu Jiadong initially analyzed, India is very concerned about the new tanks jointly developed by China-Pakistan.

When I saw this tank performing well on the battlefield between Iran and Iran, I felt that the fragile India-Pakistan balance would be broken. For this reason, huge investments have begun to improve the strength of its own armored forces. After seeing the new actions of India, the new Pakistani government immediately abandoned the domestic political analysis and quickly united together, not only restored Musharraf's post, but also restarted the new tank plan, so there was a large order of 10 billion US dollars, and there were many similar things.

Until then, a discerning person discovered that the battlefield television scenes filmed by Iran’s state television station were not intended to shock Iraq and increase domestic morale, but were clearly free advertising films of Chinese weapons and equipment. What’s ridiculous is that mainstream media in various countries regarded this scene as an extremely rare battlefield information and analysis material for Iran.

Not only did it make a big fuss, but it also made many articles, which allowed Chinese military-industrial enterprises to promote their products smoothly without spending a penny. Then, supplemented by the good reputation gained on the battlefield, thus implementing an extremely perfect product marketing, which made many arms manufacturers sigh and help their opponents while also began to seriously learn this silent marketing method.

Among them are Lu Jiadong's opponent, now an old acquaintance, the largest competitor in France's Thomson Technology Company, and the new product public relations director of Dassault Defense Company. At this moment, the two people who had been away for a long time were once again holding their hands together in a high-end hotel in Beirut, Lebanon. Colonel Hollande, who was once wearing desert camouflage, now looks even more elegant in a well-tailed suit. However, just like when he saw Lu Jiadong in Iran, he still gave Lu Jiadong a thumbs up and said admiringly:
Chapter completed!
