Chapter 869 The Kremlin meets again

wJuly 18, 1985.

Moscow International Airport.

A four-engine passenger plane similar to the Boeing 707 passenger plane slowly landed on the runway. This is an airport specially built for the Moscow Olympics. At the beginning, there were colorful flags here to welcome sports athletes from all over the world. Now, here, a new guest has been welcomed here.

The cabin door opened, and a young Iraqi leader, Kusai Abdullah, waved his hand, and suddenly, there was a burst of jubilant applause from below.

The Soviet Foreign Minister, Shevardnaze, came to pick up the plane in person, looked at Kusai who walked off the plane and said, "I really welcome President Kusai to the Soviet Union!"

"I am very honored to be here in this great country," said Kusai.

When Kusai came last time, he came only as a representative of President Saddam's advisory group. This time, he has become the real power leader of Iraq and a legendary leader of the Middle East that is impressive in the world. This time, this leader's visit to the Soviet Union is even more meaningful.

Correspondingly, Gorbachev, who had a cordial conversation with Kusai last time, has now become the leader of the country and the leader of the Red Empire, a trembling existence in this world.

Within less than half a year after Gorbachev took over the Soviet power, he invited the Iraqi president to visit the Soviet Union. This represents the leader of the new Red Empire and his importance to the country in the Middle East. What kind of agreement will be reached during this meeting between the two sides?

These are all questions that journalists from all over the world are very curious about.

At the same time, they were also very curious. What kind of plane was President Kusai’s special plane?

"Is that a Boeing 707?" asked a reporter.

"No, that's just a passenger plane imitated by Boeing 707, a Yun-10 passenger plane jointly produced by Iraq and China!" said another reporter.

"What? Can Iraq and China jointly produce passenger aircraft? Isn't Iraq only able to assemble a few F-20 fighter jets?"

"Does of this kind of passenger plane have been sold, and in the Middle East, there are such aircraft everywhere." Another reporter who "informed" said with confidence: "I have been to the Middle East several times. I have all taken this kind of passenger plane."

Kusai regards Yunshen as his own special plane, and naturally has a deep meaning. Wherever he goes, he will take this passenger plane, invisibly, and make a publicity for Yunshen. To become a leader's special plane, it must have sufficient performance. This is enough to show that this aircraft is very mature and worth buying and using by civil aviation departments of various countries. It is much lower than the same type of passenger plane, and it can be said to be of good quality and low price.

Yunshen appeared at Moscow Airport and was photographed by many reporters, especially the scene where Kushen came down from Yunshen, which was regarded as the headline news by many newspapers. Of course, some newspapers mistakenly thought it was a Boeing 707, and they would be ridiculed if they were ignorant. The reporter who wrote these press releases was scolded by the editor-in-chief. At the same time, this kind of aircraft was more widely promoted. Look. The aircraft that was very similar to the Boeing 707 was actually Yunshen!

Afterwards, Boeing, which produced the Boeing 707 passenger plane, couldn't help but jump out and filed a legal lawsuit against China's malicious imitation and infringement, but it ended in vain because China did not have such laws at that time!

Kusai got into his own car and arrived at the Kremlin where he held a welcome party.

Kusai attached great importance to this meeting because he came with a package of military purchase plans.

At the same time, Gorbachev also attaches great importance to it, because he has a plan to sell more weapons to Iraq and bring profits to the Soviet Union. At present, the "Gronas" global navigation satellite project can be passed. Since Iraq is interested, this navigation project will be used to cooperate with Iraq and use the funds provided by Iraq to achieve leapfrog development.

The Kremlin, since the Tsar era, has been the seat of the Russian regime. When the October Revolution led by Lenin overthrew the old system, a new era came here.

There was once a peasant who turned over and became the master who wanted to set a torch to burn it, but Lenin stopped it because from now on, it will be the property of the people!

This place is indeed a great property of the Soviet Union. It has various buildings with Russian characteristics and is an important cultural heritage of Russia.

Georkiev Hall, the most famous hall in the Kremlin, is a masterpiece of architectural works by Russian craftsmen. The hall is oval in shape, with six gold-plated two-chandeliers hanging on the dome. The dome and surrounding walls are painted with giant murals of various battles that won the victory by the Russian army from the 15th to the 19th century AD. There are 18 cylinders on the front of the hall, and the tops of the columns are all made of statues symbolizing victory.

Such a place full of Russian characteristics, coupled with the newly added flag of sickle and axe on the top, is a spacious enough place that has always been a traditional place for the Soviet government to hold welcoming ceremonies.

Kusai came here and met Gorbachev.

At this time, Gorbachev exuded a kind of vitality that only young people could have. Compared with the old people in the previous few, Gorbachev was already young enough. The great Soviet Union seemed to be infected with a young temperament.

"General Secretary, I'm very happy to see you again," said Kusai.

"I am looking forward to our meeting again. Today, we finally gathered in Moscow again. In two years, His Excellency Kusai has become Iraq and the youngest national leader in the world." Gorbachev said with emotion.

"The same is true for your country. Under the leadership of the General Secretary, the Soviet Union will definitely stand in the world with a more prosperous and powerful attitude." Kusai said.

There were many people on both sides. Almost the main members of the Central Political Bureau of the Soviet Union and all kinds of senior leaders came, while Iraq was Shikmat, Tarik, and deputy commander of the Navy, Karim, and others who followed Kusai on a visit.

However, meetings with enough people are symbolic, because a few people always make decisions on big things.

After two hours of friendly exchanges in Georgiev Hall, the two sides had friendly exchanges in the Ekaterina Hall next to them.

This time, the number of people attending the meeting was reduced. In the Soviet Union, only General Secretary Gorbachev, Minister of Defense Sergei, KGB President Chebrikov and Ligachev.

In Iraq, there are only Iraqi President Kusai, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Hikmat, Foreign Minister Tarik, and Deputy Minister of the Army Assembly Amir.

This is an important meeting between the two sides and will discuss a series of major issues.

"President Kusai, the world's oil prices are still hovering within a very low range, which has been greatly affected by our oil exporters," Ligachev said first.

The most important economic income of the Soviet Union is still energy exports, so he is naturally very concerned about the world's oil prices. Now, international oil prices are hovering around twenty-one dollars per barrel, which is still far from the highest level in history. Although this is much higher than the stable 18 dollars per barrel before the Iran-Iraq War, the Soviet Union still felt dissatisfied. If it could reach thirty dollars, or even forty dollars per barrel, then the Soviet Union's profit would be even higher.

"Yes, international oil prices are still a little low now. Our OPEC members are preparing to gradually reduce production to restore the crude oil market to a reasonable level. However, many non-OPEC oil-producing countries have improved their oil extraction and export capabilities, while some OPEC members are quietly increasing their oil exports, breaking quotas, and causing oil prices to remain weak." Kusai said: "Over low oil prices are not in our interests. We in Iraq will do our best to increase oil prices."

Kusai said this, which is actually true. As Britain, the United States and other countries have increased their efforts in oil extraction, OPEC's days of calling for the wind and rain have ended. In later generations, oil prices have been very weak throughout the late 1980s. Now, it is already very good to be able to stabilize at such a price. However, Kusai stated that he would do his best to help increase oil prices. Now Iraq has large oil fields, including the oil fields in Khuzestan Province, and has a lot of say.

"Energy exports are related to the income of all our oil-producing countries." Gorbachev took over the words. He didn't know that Ligachev would say this when he came up. Fortunately, Kusai's answer was reasonable and they could not find any fault: "Stable and appropriate oil prices are of great benefit to our Soviet Union and Iraq. As a friendly country of the Soviet Union, our relationship with Iraq has always been very friendly. This time, the President of Kusai was invited to come, hoping that we could deepen our cooperative relationship. Last time, Kusai proposed to participate in our Gronas satellite navigation project. Through our repeated research, we finally decided to invite your country to join our project."

Although Kusai had already had a big basket plan before he came, he had not yet mentioned it, and Gorbachev gave him such a big gift, which made him feel a little overjoyed. However, although he is very young now, he has long passed the restless age.

"I wonder what method your country intends to let us cooperate?" Kusai asked.

If Iraq only pays money, the Soviet Union provides technology, and both sides use it together, only the South Asian San can do such a thing, and Kusai will never be fooled.

What Kusai needs is navigation satellite technology. Only in this way can we make technical reserves for the future acceptance of this huge system. Welcome to your support, which is my greatest motivation.m
