Chapter 442: Suspension of Arms Sales to Iran

After receiving the news that the Kuwait tanker was hit and sank to the bottom of the sea, Rafsanjani wanted to shoot all the people in the missile force.

This is a big trouble.

Iran issued that statement, but it does not mean that Iran will do that. Although Rafsanjani received instructions from the Supreme Spiritual Leader, after repeated consideration, he decided that the scale of the conflict could not be escalated and that it must be limited to the war with Iraq.

Therefore, their primary goal must be Iraq's tankers.

Iran has a long coastline, and the entire northern side of the Persian Gulf is Iran's seaside, especially Iran can control the Strait of Hormuz, which can be said to be able to control the shipping of the entire Persian Gulf. After Iraq occupied the Port of Abadan, their oil was mainly transported by oil tankers.

Strike Iraqi tankers! This is the solution to the current dilemma.

So, during the battle at sea, Iran finally started its first bomb.

However, this missile actually killed Kuwait's oil tanker!

This cannot be blamed on the low accuracy of missiles exported by China, but they aimed incorrectly, because they were finally surprised to find that their intended target, due to the failure of the host, has not yet reached the Strait of Hormuz.

Facing Kuwait’s anger, what should I do? Should I say, I’m sorry, we made a mistake?

No, absolutely no! In Iran today, these two words will never be said. Iran is facing hostility from almost all Arab countries and did not intend to do this, but since it has done it, it must show its toughness!

The supreme leader also sent instructions, praising the operation for being very beautiful and continuing to do so. Moreover, it is necessary to expand the scale. In addition to using missiles, armed personnel can also be allowed to carry out strikes in small boats.

It seems that the Supreme Leader is very satisfied with this matter, but Rafsanjani doesn't plan to do this. Didn't he become a pirate? Moreover, the pirates do it to make money. There is nothing else but destruction.

Unconsciously, Rafsanjani already had his own thoughts and the orders of the supreme leader were not carried out without any hesitation, because, from the heart, Rafsanjani rejected this behavior, which would make Iran more isolated. Iran would have more enemies, although they were their own enemies. But they had never fought head-on. If other countries joined together, then Iran would definitely not be able to stop so many fists.

"The report, China sent a message that due to various reasons, the arrival of our next batch of weapons will be postponed. The J-7 fighter jets, 69 tanks, and silkworm missiles that we urgently need may take some time to transport it." At this time, a staff officer came in and said.

Delaying delivery? Rafsanjani was shocked. If China's weapons exports were lost, their battle would be even more difficult to fight.

"Did they say the reason?"

"The number of domestic orders has increased, so we can't produce them."

Domestic orders? What a joke! Did they go to Iraq? But it seems that they did not find representatives of Iraqis there? Rafsanjani thought about it and connected it with the recent incident, and then realized that this time they attacked the wrong target, which not only caused trouble for themselves, but also caused great trouble for China.

After the Chinese Ambassador to Iraq sent the report back to China, senior management attached great importance to it.

In fact, before that, when Tu Jida, the leader of the leadership group of the China-China Super Seven Project in Iraq, sent the report back to China, the discussion on whether to continue selling weapons to Iran has already begun.

At present, China's main force is to develop the economy. This is a major premise. After ten years of turmoil, China's economy has been very backward. Now China must shift its focus to economic construction. Military investment has been tightening. A large number of military-industrial enterprises are facing serious problems. Think about factories that produce aircraft and cannons. The biggest project now is to make several gas tanks, cast several iron furnaces and radiators. How wasteful it is.

However, the Iran-Iran-Iran-Iran-Iran-Iran-China War gave China a chance. At present, the 617 factory, Chengfei, a 69 tank manufacturer, and other companies with export projects, have been stepping up production, creating a large amount of foreign exchange for China. Therefore, China also attaches great importance to selling weapons to Iran-Iran.

The first one sold weapons was Iraq, but then the Iranians came to the door. Iran could not obtain weapons from the West, so they turned to China for help. China naturally would not refuse what was delivered to the door.

Therefore, the military industry departments with arms sales projects are working at full capacity, while those without projects are also fooling Liang Yi’s weapons purchasing personnel.

The Iranians are very good at fooling each other, and the silkworm missile is an example. The Iraqis are not easy to fool. They bought the C801 missile, but they should modify it themselves. Even the 69 tank was upgraded with German technology after returning.

Therefore, the focus of military industry is to start fooling Iranians, hoping that Iranians can place more orders. Foresighted military industry enterprises have begun to choose to cooperate with Iraq to develop.

However, the situation is slowly changing. Under the situation on the battlefield between Iran and Iran, Iran is already failing continuously, especially after Iraq completely occupied Khuzestan Province, Iran will no longer have much economic strength to purchase a large number of weapons, but Iraq is different.

Iraq has been actively developing its relations with China. Moreover, the difference is that Iraq is not only importing Chinese weapons, but also jointly developing with China. The most successful one is that the Super Seven Fighter jointly developed by Iraq and Chengfei has been modified in Iraq. The combat effectiveness can be said to be greater than any fighter currently developed by China. This is the first fighter developed by China with over-visual air combat capabilities. The Pakistani pilot took off and participated in the war, which also confirmed that this fighter has outstanding performance. Pakistan ordered forty in advance, which is the most advanced project in the history of weapon exports between the two countries.

Although this type of fighter jet is exported to Pakistan, the domestic air force has begun to become jealous. When the J-82 project is not going well, they have already set their sights on this type of fighter jet that was originally used for foreign trade exports. Unfortunately, the country does not have funds to allocate funds to purchase it. Moreover, those avionics were modified in Iraq, and the Americans are very concerned about the fact that this technology flows into China.

In addition, Iraq also invested in domestic YTN projects to improve the C801 missile. Iraq has not only purchased weapons from China, but has risen to a partnership.

Only when China sells weapons to Iran, Iran has the capital to engage in a ground war. Iraq has raised serious protests against China. The Chinese government did not intend to pay attention to this diplomatic aspect. However, the Iraqi Kusai young man put forward an attractive and irresistible condition. He only needs not to export weapons to Iran. Iraq will purchase more weapons from China, and will also bring investment in reform and opening up to China. This is tantamount to a timely help for China, which is urgently in need of developing the economy.

However, this will hurt the feelings of the Iranian people. Therefore, there have been some disputes within the top levels. The specific departments responsible for export projects have also been different. Especially the manufacturer responsible for the Type 69 tanks is now producing tanks for Iran. Iraq no longer looks down on such tanks. Iraq has its own tank production line and hopes to continue to provide Iran with such cheap tanks. You must know that on the Chinese side, the orders for such tanks are less than 100.

Cheng Fei is somewhat inclined to cooperate with Iraq because they have broadened their horizons from Iraq and learned the world's advanced style, which is very beneficial for them to develop the next generation of fighter jets. Because, although the No. 10 project has not been officially launched, the preliminary research has begun.

In their plan, Project No. 10 also needs to adopt the bus technology of the shuhaigeb data bus, which is now standard in US military aircraft. The Super Seven is being modified based on this technology. They do not want Iraq to end their company's most important project in anger.

The production of J-7 fighter jets for Iran can be suspended because the J-7 to Jordan is also in production and there are orders in China, so they can support it. Moreover, Iraq has also injected funds into Cheng Fei, and the funds provided for the transformation of more than seven last time have not been spent.

Just when the domestic debate was still abrupt, what Iran did finally made the Chinese government make up its mind.

An oil tanker in Kuwait was sunk by an anti-ship missile launched by Iran. This missile is the Seahawk 2 missile imported by Iran from China.

This is not a matter of giving China a face to its weapons. Whether it hits a Kuwait tanker or an Iraqi tanker, it is all civilian ships!

The only thing that makes them glad that these missiles were not transported directly from China, but through North Korea. Therefore, when necessary, China can completely put aside its relationship. Such missiles are not exported from China. As for whether they are transferred by third countries, it has nothing to do with China.

This incident directly alarmed the supreme leader.

After careful discussion, they finally made a decision to suspend arms exports to Iran, and at the same time, actively negotiate with Iraq to narrow the distance between them. Moreover, in due course, Iraqi leaders can be invited to visit China.

Why is the whole world standing on the side of Iraq? When Rafsanjani heard the news, his eyes showed great dissatisfaction.
