Chapter 800 The scheduled competition

After hearing Lu Jiadong's words, Tong Wenlie and Song Xiaoxu were very confused. It was not because of anything else, but the Mibo radar that Lu Jiadong said just now. Although the two of them were busy for a while, their minds were still clear. It was clear that there was never a single equipment called Mibo radar in their R&D list......

"Mr. Lu, what you just said...What's going on with the Mibo radar?"

"Mibo radar? Didn't you tell me?"

Seeing Tong Wenlie and Song Xiaoxu who were a little confused, Lu Jiadong was a little surprised. The two people who were swept by Lu Jiadong's surprised eyes were also stunned. Then they looked at each other, then looked at Lu Jiadong like they were looking at monsters, and shook their heads together:

"No!"

Lu Jiadong was also stunned and asked in disbelief: "I really don't have one?"

"Absolutely not!" Song Xiaoxu answered very firmly this time. Tong Wenlie, who was standing aside, showed concern and asked Lu Jiadong:

"Mr. Lu, are you feeling uncomfortable? Otherwise, I'll send you back to rest..."

Tong Wenlie wanted to continue talking, but Lu Jiadong reached out to stop him. Then he shook his head with a slight annoyance and murmured with a little annoyance:

"It's okay, it's okay...I'm all Iraqis who are helping each other and always like to make trouble. Without them, I won't be confused. I can't remember anything I've said before. I blame me, blame me...."

Listening to Lu Jiadong's unreasonable self-blame, Tong Wenlie and Song Xiaoxu couldn't help but feel a little panicked. They hurriedly wanted to persuade him, but were still stopped by Lu Jiadong. They immediately briefly explained some of the things that happened after the last new air defense missile system demonstration meeting...

It turned out that as soon as the meeting entered the second half of that day, Sharif hurriedly found Lu Jiadong with Musharraf's urgent telegram. When he opened it, Lu Jiadong's heart sank. The telegram was very short, but the content was shocking:

"Iraq intends to terminate the draft agreement with us and instead introduce the same type of Soviet system."

Faced with such a sudden change, Lu Jiadong naturally could not sit idly by. You should know that Iraq is the test site and inspection base for the new air defense missile system designated by Lu Jiadong. Looking at the next ten years, there is no better guinea pig than Iraq. Such a precious experimental species cannot be given up no matter what;

So, Lu Jiadong ended the meeting without hesitation, hurriedly left Shencheng, rushed to the Saudi capital Riyadh, and discussed countermeasures with partners such as Musharraf and Prince Khalid. Iraq's sudden turn in the air defense system also caught Saudi Arabia and Pakistan off guard, but it was not long after that it was replaced by endless anger...

You should know that the new air defense missile systems are regarded as symbols of the rise of the rule by both countries. Especially Saudi Arabia, a country with a transcendent position in the Arab world, always wants to make the hegemony of the Arab world firmly firm. However, for so many years, in addition to the continuous underground oil for a large amount of money, such as industrialization and marketization, it has always been difficult to move forward;

Especially in the military industry, there is no strong support that is consistent with its status, which makes Saudi Arabia just a fat, fat sheep in the eyes of the world. It has nothing to be praised except for a little money, and international politics pays attention to reality.

As the saying goes, carrots and sticks need not only money, but also punches. Especially when friendly countries need strong support, a powerful fist can not only stabilize the order of the country, but also lend the fist out in the form of military aid, and then live in seclusion behind the scenes to gain both fame and fortune......

It is precisely because of the strong relationship that Saudi Arabia has always dreamed of having such a "boxing". So when Pakistan informed Saudi Arabia of joining China to develop a new air defense missile system, Saudi Arabia felt that this was an excellent opportunity to have a "boxing". Iraq, as an extremely important strategic position in the Middle East and undertakes the regional Shia bridgehead of Iran, is Saudi Arabia's best goal to use "boxing".

Therefore, Saudi Arabia spared no effort to match the Iraqi government to purchase a new air defense missile system in order to use arms exports to control Iraq's arms while further deepening its influence in the Arab world. However, unexpectedly, the Saddam government in Iraq was extremely uncooperative. Not only did it treat the draft agreement as a piece of paper, but it turned to contact the Soviet Union. Such actions made Saudi Arabia furious......

After learning about Saudi Arabia and Pakistan's attitude, Lu Jiadong felt relieved, so he jointly put pressure on Iraq. He thought that this matter was basically easy to take. After all, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan have a low status in the Arab world. Even if the legal effect of the draft agreement is not high, under the pressure of the two Arab gods, Iraq had to submit;

But unexpectedly, Iraq not only withstands the joint pressure from Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, but also has an extremely tough attitude. After several contacts, both representatives of the two countries returned in vain. Until this time, everyone discovered that the Soviet Union, which was standing behind Iraq, had been coercion and inducing Iraq.

Let it give up the new air defense missile system, otherwise, the spare parts of many Iraqi Soviet-style equipment will be interrupted immediately. You should know that more than 80% of the Iraqi army are Soviet-style equipment. Once the spare parts are interrupted, the Iraqi army will be paralyzed instantly. This is impossible for Iraq, which is still confronting Iran, so it will grit its teeth and withstand the pressure from Saudi Arabia and Pakistan!

When Saudi Arabia learned about this situation, it was a blow. It only felt that the Soviet Union was interested in provoking it. This made Saudi Arabia, which was already anti-Soviet, even more determined to take down the order for Iraq's air defense missile system in any case. So Saudi Arabia sent out its biggest trump card - the Money Offensive!

The eight-year Iraq-Iraq War directly defeated the rich Iraq, which was heavily in debt, and the biggest funder among them was Saudi Arabia. So Saudi Arabia resolutely joined forces with Kuwait, Jordan, the UAE and other Gulf countries to establish the so-called "Iraq Debt Payment Committee" to force Iraq to repay the loan as soon as possible in a very short period of time;

On the other hand, it also implies that Iraq can postpone repayment as long as it accepts the new air defense missile system, reduce interest, and may even get more financial support. No matter what, Iraq is just a poor boy without money. Faced with Saudi Arabia's actions of both soft and hard work, he can only keep his head under his head.........

"Of course, Iraq cannot ignore the pressure from the Soviet Union, so when neither side can offend, Iraq simply fought a stage. The bidding method allowed us to face the Soviet air defense system head-on, thus pushing political factors to the technical. These days, I have almost broken my legs in the Middle East, so I can't remember anything I said before......"

"So that's how it is!"

After listening to Lu Jiadong's narrative, Tong Wenlie and Song Xiaoxu also suddenly realized that although Lu Jiadong said it was very simple, the two could feel that the complexity was already beyond ordinary people's imagination. After all, international arms trade is different from ordinary foreign trade exports. The political, military, diplomacy, commerce, national interests and other factors involved are simply uncountable. Not to mention dealing with it well, people will feel their scalp numb even if they look at it. It is extremely rare for Lu Jiadong to maintain the glimmer of vitality of the new air defense system in Iraq under such a chaotic and complex situation. It is normal to forget some things...

"By the way, since we are going to compete on the same stage with the Soviet air defense system, the time should be determined?" Although Tong Wenlie and Song Xiaoxu understood, Lu Jiadong's previous words still made the two of them feel worried. After looking at each other, Tong Wenlie finally asked the key question, and Lu Jiadong also smiled and nodded:

"Confirmed!"

"when?"

“March 1990!”

"Next March, this......"

Hearing this, Song Xiaoxu and Tong Wenlie's faces suddenly turned dark. When Lu Jiadong saw that the two of them looked wrong, he hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong?"

When Lu Jiadong asked this, Song Xiaoxu and Tong Wenlie's sad faces became stronger. After pondering for a moment, he said and said, reporting the development of this period to Lu Jiadong in its original form. After listening, Lu Jiadong also frowned:

"I didn't expect that the anti-stealth radar was stuck here. It seems that the pit was dug a bit big!"

After hearing Lu Jiadong's words, Song Xiaoxu and Tong Wenlie looked at their frowning brows again, and thought that even Lu Jiadong had no good idea, so their already gloomy expression was even more sad. In the end, Song Xiaoxu, who had a good relationship with Lu Jiadong, spoke directly:

"If we really bid for the Soviet air defense system in March next year, our scheduled radar team may not be completed. If it is really not possible, I suggest removing the anti-stealth aspect, otherwise, there will be too late!"

"Yes, Mr. Lu!" As soon as Song Xiaoxu finished speaking, Tong Wenlie agreed: "We have no experience in anti-invisibility. If we just spend time in this area, we may have to give up the big Iraq cake first..."

"No experience? No foundation? How is it possible?"

Before Tong Wenlie finished speaking, Lu Jiadong smiled and took over the conversation. This sentence surprised Tong Wenlie and Song Xiaoxu. However, before they could recall the taste, the words that shocked the two of them suddenly came out of Lu Jiadong:
Chapter completed!
