Chapter 689 Insincerity (seeking a monthly ticket)
After Tarik finished speaking, he looked at McFarlane and saw that the other party was listening to his request carefully, so he finally threw out his bombshell.
"This incident can be said to be entirely caused by Israel's unilateral development of nuclear weapons. Israel is the most unstable factor on our Middle East. Therefore, if we want our Arab joint army to stop and withdraw troops, then we must make Israel apologize to us, apologize to the Arab countries, and apologize to the whole world for this attack. We consume countless military expenses because of this attack. Two missile launches are worth 500 million US dollars, all of which need to be paid by Israel.
Our army mobilized and exercised, costing 500 million US dollars, so Israel needs to pay a total of one billion US dollars in compensation to our Arab countries. At the same time, given this attitude of Israel, we Arab countries feel very worried that Israel has been expanding, making us Arab countries full of vigilance. Israel needs to withdraw from its occupied territory, the Golan Heights, the West Bank..." Tarik said, watching the American representatives in front of them become increasingly ugly.
McFarlane felt as if she was suddenly thrown into the water, her body getting colder and colder, and she was simply unable to breathe. It was no longer a problem for Israel to be too much, but Iraq was too much.
If all these conditions are agreed, he would not have to go to Israel and return directly to the country, so that the war on the Middle East can continue. In the end, whoever wins will get those benefits.
The representatives of the United States who accompanied him all felt this way. The Iraqi people in front of him were making unreasonable requests!
"Mr. Tarik, I'm very sorry, your request has really prevented us from negotiating with Israel. If so, we will not be able to complete this negotiation task at all." McFarlane said: "I feel very sorry."
"I am also very regretful," said Tarik. "In recent decades, it has been a history of humiliation in the Arab world. We were bullied by a country that was emigrated from a large number of outsiders and then forcibly separating from our Arab world. Our Arab world has several wars and several failures, which have displaced our brothers. Now, this country is using nuclear weapons and trying to make us lower our heads and live under the deterrence of the other side. We Arabs have no knees, and we can only fight bravely and wash away our shame! The demands we make are all fighting for the legitimate rights and interests of our Arab world. We believe that these are all necessary conditions."
Tarik said it very contagiously. Even some of the representatives of the United States were fascinated by the fact that they forgot their purpose of coming here. However, Tarik said this without a doubt, saying that this negotiation would be a failure.
Iraq is too disrespectful. They don’t think about that kind of request, how could they negotiate with Israel? I was disappointed when I remembered the first day I came here. McFarlane felt unwilling to accept it. Is the peace ambassador back in shame before he was appointed? No, absolutely not!
"Mr. Tarik, the Middle East issue has a long history and cannot be solved by our negotiations. The requests you made are a bit too far away. This may be your ultimate goal. However, it is a bit too serious to take all of these to negotiate this time. So, I think that since we came for peace in the Middle East, we must raise some substantial issues. The United States has always hoped that the Middle East can maintain peace. Under the strong urging of our United States, we have achieved peace in Egypt and Israel. We also hope that through our efforts in the United States, we can achieve real peace in the Middle East!" said McFarlane.
Did the Americans really want to promote this peace talks? Looking at McFarlane with a serious look, Tarik knew that his request was a bit too much.
The example given by McFarland is the Camp David Agreement. At that time, US President Carter, Egyptian President Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Begin held a 12-day secret talks at Camp David. Under President Carter's repeated efforts and continuous pressure, the two sides finally reached a "Camp David Agreement" of great historical significance. Israel returned the Sinai Peninsula occupied in the Middle East War in 1967. Egypt recognized Israel, the two countries established diplomatic relations, and the two sides achieved normalization of relations. This is a major event done by US President Carter during his term.
Now, McFarlane mentioned this to illustrate that the United States wants to restore peace in the Middle East.
Does the United States really want to do it? Or is the person in front of him fooled by the top American officials? Tarik already knows that in Baghdad, there is a force supported by the United States who want to overthrow President Kusai's regime. They do this, probably to delay time, right?
"The conditions I just mentioned are the conditions jointly put forward by our Arab countries. Israel can choose to agree or refuse. Our troops are waiting to issue orders for attack." Tarik said: "Mr. McFarlane, I hope you must understand that this time, it is not something that we, Iraq, can make the decision completely. In that case, we Iraq will become Arab sinners."
Come out of the conference hall, McFarlane's face was full of frustration. He used his own force to oppress small countries to sign unequal treaties. This is what the US government likes to do. Now, how can he become Iraq to be the protagonist?
McFarlane reported the results of the negotiations to the United States. The United States instructed to temporarily hold back Iraq and let Arab countries not start wars lightly, and then go to Israel to contact the Jews and test their bottom line. As long as the war has not yet started, there is still a possibility of peace.
With a melancholy mood, McFarlan embarked on the plane to Lebanon and switched to Israel from there. Even idiots could think that Israel would never agree to the conditions put forward by Iraq.
Looking at McFarlane's departure back, Tarik remembered his conversation with President Kusai in his mind.
"President Kusai, if we make such a request, then it will not be of any benefit to our negotiations. After all, we also want to solve this problem through negotiations. As long as Israel bows its head and blows Israel's morale, we will achieve our goal. Why do we still make these requests that they would not agree to at all?" After hearing Kusai's request, the smart diplomat Tarik was also very puzzled.
Iraq doesn't want to fight because the time has not yet come.
"Yes, they will never agree to our requests, but we must do this, we must express our position with a tough attitude. This incident is completely correct, and this will also help improve our position in the Arab world. We have now replaced Egypt and become the new leader in the Arab world. We must be tough enough."
"But in this way, our negotiations will probably come to a halt or even end." Tarik was still puzzled.
"The United States has no sincerity in this first round of negotiations. Similarly, Israel has no sincerity. They are just using negotiations to delay time. Israel is just a fierce blow, which makes the air force temporarily lose its combat effectiveness. As long as they supplement enough fighter jets, they will still rush up. A few days ago, after the F-15 fighter jet was injured, it still dared to fight with our fighter jets. It can be seen that the Israeli Air Force is still combat effectiveness and their personnel are very stubborn. Since they don't really want to negotiate, we have lowered the conditions and there is no benefit. Moreover, we are in a rebellious crisis in Baghdad, and all of this is inseparable from the Americans." Kusai said.
The American negotiations were just delaying time, and Kusai had seen this long ago. At least, Israel definitely meant this. It was a trick he used in the first Middle East War, and Israel wanted to use it again, but unfortunately, it was no longer possible.
Therefore, no conditions are of great use now. Only by cutting off these tricks can they lower their heads and sit at the negotiating table honestly.
"When we drive in high conditions, will we scare the Americans away?" Tarik continued.
"No, they will definitely come back." Kusai was very sure. When they lost their tricks and did not sit back to the negotiating table, what else could they do? At that time, it would not be too late to lower the conditions.
McFarlane left and went to Israel. He didn't know that he had never really walked into President Reagan's side. His coming this time was just a fiasco. The United States asked him to rush to Israel because the event in Baghdad was about to begin.
Kamal felt that he had made complete preparations and had enough force to control the political situation in Baghdad, and to take over the Ministry of Defense and the Palace of the Republic. At the same time, he also received support from some personnel within the party and government, and he had even thought about the list of personnel for the new government.
The US negotiation team that suddenly came yesterday made him temporarily postpone his plan. The teams were very fast and left after talking to the Foreign Minister for a long time. So tonight, it was time for him to raise trouble!
In Baghdad, there are also some senior officials, including Defense Minister Adnan, who are better off capturing them alive. At that time, if the plan fails, he can also hold these people hostage to save his life. Kamal is not completely confused.
