Chapter 171 Family Banquet
The gentle spring breeze blows the branches outside. In the hot areas of the Middle East, this scene makes people feel refreshed.
Inside the car, several yellow-skinned and dark-eyed people were enjoying the view outside the window.
"Grandpa, before coming here, I thought that this place was backward, but now it seems that it is completely wrong. Many aspects of this place have developed better than our country. For example, advanced industries, including military industry and electronics industry, are very developed, the popularity of basic education is very high, and most of the new young people are college students. The lives of residents are very wealthy." Cheng Yu said in the back row of a car, holding an old man's arm.
Ye Fei smiled. Along the way, listening to his granddaughter chattering for a long time, he turned around and said, "So, do you like this place very much?"
"Even so, grandpa, here, my salary is higher than yours."
"So, you have been planning to stay here. Are you going to find a family for you here?" Ye Fei said: "Your parents have told me many times. At the beginning, they just thought you needed exercise, so they agreed to come out. Now, you are old and at your age, you are already a mother with two children. Look at you, you are still single now, how can you not worry your parents? You should go back to China, right?"
Unexpectedly, when Cheng Yu's face turned red when she heard her grandfather say this, she seemed to have crystal tears in her eyes. Later, she controlled her emotions.
At the beginning, she traveled thousands of miles to come here for various reasons, but now, the hero in her mind is already married. Moreover, the bride is still a Saudi princess. Although Cheng Yu has always believed that people are equal, and in terms of identity, her own is not inferior. However, she still feels that she cannot compare with a princess.
Good fortune makes people mess with people. If you don’t have the chance, why do you let yourself meet him and fall in love with him at first sight? If you have the chance, why can’t you tell your heart?
Time flies very quickly. A woman’s youth is very short, but she spends it here. Is it worth it to do so?
No matter how high the salary is, Cheng Yu actually doesn’t care at all.
"I heard that Middle Eastern people can marry a few wives, just like in our old society." Ye Fei suddenly said.
"Grandpa, what are you talking about?" Cheng Yu threw Ye Fei's arm. Does grandpa understand his own thoughts? That's not possible. As a traditional oriental woman, she is absolutely unwilling to share her husband with other women. No matter how many wives there are in Middle Eastern people, it has nothing to do with him.
However, when Cheng Yu thought of seeing Kusai soon, he was still a little excited.
This time, China sent an inspection team to Iraq. Of course, it was definitely not a simple survey. Those who came were people with unemployed people who seemed to be unemployed, had a strong military background and were very important in the central government. After visiting here for a few days, they were invited by Iraqi President Kusai Abdullah to attend a dinner at the Presidential Palace.
Cheng Yu's grandfather is the leader of this inspection team, so Cheng Yu's identity this time is no longer the person in charge of the Iraqi shipyard, but the person who explained them, and by the way he used it as a translator between them.
Before coming here, they inspected Iraq's shipyards and military ports, and they were deeply moved by the achievements of the Iraqi Navy.
Even just eight years ago, the Iraqi Navy was still very weak. At best, it could only be considered a missile boat with a displacement of hundreds of tons, even a big guy.
But now, looking at the big guy with an displacement of 8,000 tons in Iraq is really enviable. The frigate they started to build themselves may not have the ability of their own China's first ship.
The Iraqi shipyard was established with the help of our own, but now it is better than the best.
The navy of the Eastern powers mainly relied on the backward brigade-level support. In order to catch up with the modern trend, they began to strive forward. Finally, in 1986, the second-generation missile destroyer began to be built, namely the brigade-level.
The displacement of more than 4,000 tons and the power on the ship mainly use the LM2500 gas turbine imported from the United States, the air defense system, the French sea rattlesnake system, and the sonar system is also from France. I'm afraid that only the anti-ship missile is its own. The combat capability is not as good as the frigate built by Iraq.
Just talking about air defense, Iraq's warships use vertically launched ship-to-air missiles, which greatly increases the ability to resist saturation strikes. This is a weak link for domestic warships, but they only solve the problem of whether there is or not. The performance is still far different.
Originally, although the country focused on economic development, the top leaders still attached importance to the navy. The navy's backwardness made them feel powerless. However, now, the international situation is very serious for the Eastern powers.
Originally, facing the Soviet Union in the north, the common enemy allowed the great powers of the East and the United States to enter a short honeymoon period, which was also the prerequisite for them to obtain excellent ship power such as the LM2500 gas turbine and carry out peace model projects. But now, the situation has changed a lot.
The Soviet Union had weakened, and the threat that had once disappeared. When it first entered the 1990s, the special incident that occurred allowed the United States to unite with Western countries to impose sanctions and blockades on major Eastern powers.
Under Bush's leadership, a powerful United States began to take on the role of a world policeman again.
The United States took the lead in sanctioning the Eastern powers, and also played two cards.
The United States sold 150 F-16 fighter jets and Patriot air defense missiles to Taiwan despite the agreement between China and the United States. With the support of the United States, Australia, Denmark and other countries began to vote on the issue at the United Nations Conference.
These phenomena all show that after the Soviet Union weakened, the Eastern powers began to change from their ally with the United States. Due to different ideologies, the Eastern powers have begun to become the new target of hostility of the United States.
The F-16 is the most advanced third-generation fighter jet in the United States. The export of these fighter jets will give Taiwan enough offensive capabilities and is very unfavorable to the great cause of peaceful reunification of the Eastern powers. The main force of the Eastern powers is still the J-82. Although the peace plan has gone bankrupt, the advanced avionics independently developed by the Eastern powers have begun to equip aircraft so that they will not be unable to fight.
The latest air-optimal fighter jet developed by the Eastern power, J-10, has finally been finalized after more than three years of test flights and is about to enter the low-speed production period. It will be equipped with troops, and the first batch of equipment is the Fujian Air Force. However, it will take a certain amount of time for such fighter jets to form combat effectiveness.
Under such circumstances, it is very important for the Eastern power to break through the current situation internationally and find effective allies.
After several years of exchanges, it has proved that Iraq is definitely a good friend of the Eastern power. The two sides have carried out extensive cooperation in the fields of economy, military and other fields. Iraq is a good friend of the Eastern power!
So, under the current circumstances, both sides have been suppressed by the United States, and working together can play a good role.
Ye Fei was thinking in his mind that the main purpose of this visit was to strengthen the strategic partnership with Iraq!
Looking at Cheng Yu's expression, Ye Fei realized that he had just left the thoughts. He knew his granddaughter's thoughts and knew that as a superior, many things cannot be forced. Moreover, being a leader's woman will suffer great risks. For example, the last time the Americans wanted to kill Kusai?
Unfortunately, he knew his granddaughter's temper very well. Ye Fei didn't speak anymore, and looked out the window and entered the bustling city of Baghdad.
When the convoy arrived at the Palace of Republic, the sun had just fallen, pulling the shadow of man very long. On a small building in the palace, the lights were brightly lit at this time.
Sarah was wearing a very ordinary evening dress, which was a creativity after combining Arabic robe and Western evening dresses, making Sarah look even more beautiful and charming. She followed Kusai and shook hands friendly to those who came.
If women are strictly observing the religion and righteousness in Saudi Arabia and other countries, women must not contact outsiders casually. Without the consent of men, they cannot go out to the streets casually.
But in Iraq, it is much more open. Many units recruit female workers. Women, like men, can work and have their own lives. Sarah will naturally be generous in marrying a chicken and will be generous.
"Welcome to all friends who come from afar. This time it is just a family dinner with authentic Chinese cuisine." Kusai said while shook hands with the visitors.
He is very familiar with these people, whether in his past or present life.
This was indeed a family dinner, and Iraq participated mainly from the Kusai couple, as well as Adnan and Izart.
However, one is the president and his wife, the other is the Minister of Defense and the Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Military Region, which is not as simple as a family dinner.
Cheng Yu held Sarah's hand generously and felt that the palm of her hand was hot, and the fragrance emitted from her body was very similar to the bottle of capitalist, corrupt hedonistic perfume that Kusai once gave her. She kept it carefully and never used it.
"President Kusai, you are so polite. You didn't plan to disturb you this time, but they all said that if you come to the Middle East, if you can meet you, a hero from the Middle East, you can come here without vain!" Ye Fei said.
If you haven’t seen Chen Jinnan in your life, it’s in vain to call a hero? Kusai suddenly said this in his mind. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to Piaotian. Literature registered members recommend this work. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
