Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Six Gorbachev's Proposal

...As an ambassador, Balkovsky's words were actually somewhat overstepping his authority. These were not his jurisdiction. He was only responsible for passing messages. However, under the current circumstances, he said these things unconsciously.

Because, if this matter is done, it is also an upward bargaining chip for him! Balkovsky remembered his important task this time and said, "His Excellency Kusai, what about the person we need? When can we hand it over to us?"

"This is easy. I send someone to investigate this matter. If there is really, I will definitely hand it over to the Soviet Union! This is very simple for us. Let's discuss the specific issues related to the agreement first! The projects we mentioned are actually from the Soviet Union, but also from other countries. The choice of the Soviet Union this time is due to our great friendship. Since you said it is difficult, we will make some concessions. On the Su-25 attack aircraft and Mi-24 helicopter, we can accept the output of the entire aircraft. However, for this large computer and ballistic missile, I hope your government will carefully consider it. The prices we offer are very suitable. You can just use this ballistic missile as a Scud missile! As for the increase in range, it can be pushed to the results of our own improvement." Kusai said with a smile.

It is OK to use it as a Scud missile? This is OK. I don’t know if the military will agree. Balkovsky thought that for you, these agreements are important, but for us, this person is much more important than those agreements.

Judging from the current situation, Kusai has been sloppy. If you want to get that person, you must first reach these agreements. However, if these agreements can be reached, it will be a great progress for the Soviet Union. Haven’t the senior officials always complained that Iraq’s policies are gradually becoming pro-US? Now, Iraq has taken the initiative to buy so much equipment. For the Soviet Union, there will be a source of foreign exchange. You must know that the Soviet Union now relies on exporting oil to foreign exchange. The Soviet economy has encountered great problems. This transaction is worth billions of dollars!

"His Excellency Kusai, we also attach great importance to our relationship with Iraq, this agreement. I need to report to my superiors to determine whether it can be signed." Balkovsky said.

"Okay." Kusai agreed. These projects were indeed not entirely decided by the ambassador. Report to the upper hand and see what the Soviets said! "As for the person you proposed, I will send someone to find out about this matter immediately. After there is news, I will notify you as soon as possible."

The two of them shook hands, and Balkovsky felt a little amused. The other party had already known this person, but now he pretended to be ignorant. If this agreement was not reached, the other party would continue to act. His Excellency Kusai looks serious, but from this matter, it can be seen that he is a hooligan!

In this way, the Soviet Union could not suppress him with a tough attitude. It seemed that it could only try its best to convince its superiors to agree to the contract.

Kusai smiled and sent the other party away. He was not very satisfied. It seemed that he had to put some pressure on the Soviet Union. For example, if Ajelina passed the message to the KGB, he said that the Americans were negotiating with him. Is it still anxious to see whether the Soviet Union is still anxious!

Kusai knew that playing this card was actually a bit dangerous, because the Soviet Union is still a powerful existence nowadays. However, he is not a naked blackmail, he has no words of blackmail, he has been cooperating with the other party, and he has clearly stated that he would hand this person over to the other party without reservation, and he cooperated very well. He did not refuse the party, so they would have no reason to act roughly. Besides, he would give money to the other party again! Thinking about the money he made in the Hong Kong dollar crisis, he would have to give it to the Red Empire again, Kusai was really reluctant to let it go.

Will the Soviet Union agree? Kusai believes that the Soviet Union will definitely do it, and he will give the Soviet Union a generous gift for free, so let the Soviet Union and the United States fight! This is the most beneficial to them.

The news came back to the Soviet Union, and the top leaders immediately held an emergency meeting.

"From various channels, we analyzed that Iraq is likely to have found a crew member who was even a few unknown invading enemy aircraft. At the time of the incident, the Iraqi cargo ship Ugaim was sailing in that area. According to the current flow, it is very likely that they rescued the surviving people. We arrived at that area a few hours later, but it was too late and found nothing." KGB director Victor said: "However, it is not clear whether Kusai really doesn't know about this."

There is no definite evidence, Victor cannot speak nonsense, but his expression clearly has reached a conclusion. Kusai must be completely aware of this matter. Otherwise, how could he dare to put forward so many conditions!

"It seems that we were fooled by Iraq. They know that this person has a great effect on us, so we deliberately took it out and negotiated with us. Our attitude should be tougher and let Iraq know that we will not be blackmailed!" Foreign Minister Gromiko said angrily.

He was also very anxious. Now, internationally, the incident of shooting down South Korean passenger planes had a very bad impact on the Soviet Union. The top leaders of the Soviet Union were shocked. Although Moscow was the final decision, the Soviet Union was still forced to remove the commander of the Soviet Far East Military Region, General Ivan Trechy Yangko, who ordered the fire, and asked him to go back to retire in advance. They were all a little angry. The Americans fooled them this time, but they just couldn't find enough evidence!

Now, seeing that the evidence is in the hands of the little guy in Iraq, the other party just doesn’t give him face and has put forward a lot of conditions!

Be tough? However, Iraq must hand over that person? Gorbachev sneered in his heart. What are the people thinking in their heads? That little guy in the Middle East is a guy who is soft but not hard. You are so tough that you can only force the other party to hand over that person to the United States. By then, you will not be able to get anything.

Now, although the Soviet Union is aggressive to the outside world, due to the deterioration of the economy and the quagmire of the Afghan war, the Soviet Union has no financial resources to continue to promote its own reforms. If the military purchase plan proposed by Iraq can be completed, the Soviet Union will be able to obtain billions of dollars in foreign exchange income, which is very important for the Soviet Union.

Those guys stayed in Moscow and thought all day long about how powerful the Soviet Union was. They had never seen it down there. I don’t know how scarce the Soviet Union’s daily necessities were!

However, General Secretary Andropov is a sensible person and he will definitely have the right choice.

"Iraq has to be a bit too much this time, especially the P-23 missile. We have only equipped it for a short time, with a range of 700 kilometers. If improved, the range can reach 900 kilometers. The performance of this missile is far greater than that of the Scud missile. Moreover, it is a solid missile that does not require fuel to be refueled and run away after shooting. If Iraq really obtains this missile, it can significantly improve their combat-level long-range strike capabilities, and we must not export them." Defense Minister Ustinov said.

This guy from Iraq is really a headache. He either doesn’t buy it. If he wants to buy it, he always picks up advanced ones to buy it. Currently, the Soviet army has only equipped less than a hundred of these missiles, so he wants it?

Andropov didn't say anything, he was listening to the fierce comments below. In fact, this matter can be said to be over. If you don't ask about it again, it will disappear in the long river of history after a period of time. Now you can pick it up again because you can get the exact evidence to prove that the Soviet Union did it right. It is all the conspiracy of the United States! You can expose the conspiracy of the United States and win the struggle with the United States. This is what they are most interested in.

Whether Iraq really has evidence is no longer important in Andropov's eyes, and the purchase list proposed by Iraq has made him more interested. Although the price of world crude oil is rising and the Soviet Union's export of crude oil has also made certain profits, it is still a little less than the funds required for the reforms he has gradually promoted. This transaction can allow the Soviet Union to gain real benefits, and he also tends to promote an agreement, but this cannot cause harm to the Soviet Union itself.

"An Iraq that tends to be our interests in the Middle East." Gorbachev spoke: "Now, in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar, all of them tend to the United States. Iraq has gone far from us some time ago. Now, they have awakened and want to order a large number of weapons from us. Through arms sales, we can fight to win Iraq back to us. This is very important for us, especially now Iraq is now.

Czech Republic is fighting against Iran. Judging from the current situation, Iraq occupies the initiative on the battlefield. Iraq mainly focuses on the western region of Iran. They definitely have no interest in the desert in the east. If we establish a close relationship with Iraq, then after Iraq liberates western Iran, we can propose to the Iranian government that Iraq has supported, to lease two provinces in eastern Iran, and our power can appear on the Arab Sea!"

Gorbachev's words alarmed everyone. Now, the Soviet Union is in the Afghanistan war, with countless casualties and huge expenses. Isn't it to open up the road to the south? Gorbachev proposed a more creative and visionary way: no longer travel south through Afghanistan, but directly from eastern Iran to go south! To be continued...
