Chapter 81 Go to Baghdad
Dongmin Lane
Here is the famous embassy area in the capital. Since the era of the Republic of China and even the pre-Qing Dynasty, it has always been a gathering place for foreigners.
About 7 p.m.
Nie Zhenbang has already arrived here, less than 500 meters away from Dongmin Lane, Halal Restaurant, which is a famous Islamic restaurant in the capital. Basically, people who believe in Islam like to eat here.
As soon as Nie Zhenbang entered the door, the people who had dinner in the whole restaurant looked up. Few people from other than Islam come in here. In particular, it is also a Han Chinese like Nie Zhenbang.
The waiter has also come up and said with a smile, "Sir, is it a meal? Since you have come here, please pay attention to your words. Please take care of some Islamic taboos.
Nie Zhenbang also nodded and said, "No problem, I came here at the invitation of Mr. Abdullah. Excuse me, where is the box he ordered?
As soon as the waiter heard this, he also looked respectful. Abdullah Abraham Sumada, a celebrity of the halal restaurant, is the identity of the Iraqi ambassador to China. In addition, Abdullah is a regular customer of the halal restaurant over time. The whole restaurant knew Abdullah.
At this time, when I heard Nie Zhenbang's words, the people who looked at Nie Zhenbang curiously also withdrew their eyes one after another.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Nie Zhenbang went straight to the second floor and sat down in a box with a strong Islamic style.
About half an hour later, Abdullah appeared at the door of the box. As soon as he saw Nie Zhenbang, Abdullah smiled and said in lame Chinese, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Nie? Mr. Li told me that Mr. Nie was a great figure in the capital, but he didn't expect to be so young.
Nie Zhenbang also stood up, stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Abdullah, it's a pleasure to meet you here. Mr. Li is flattered. I'm not as powerful as he said. It's just a little bit of a door.
Abdullah's dress looks very Muslim. He is dressed in a wide white robe, with a white turban wrapped around his head. The beard and appearance highlight the typical style of Middle Eastern people.
Hearing Nie Zhenbang's words, Abdullah also laughed and motioned Nie Zhenbang to sit down. After the waiter had finished the dishes, Abdullah smiled and said, "Mr. Nie, according to the customs of the Chinese people, you all like to talk about things at the wine table. Can we have a good talk before dinner? You came to me through Mr. Li. What can I do for you?
Although Abdullah is also an Asian, she speaks very directly. After sitting for less than two minutes, she came straight to the point.
Nie Zhenbang also laughed at this moment, looked at Abdullah and said, "Dear Ambassador Abdullah. As far as I know, your motherland is at war with Iran at this moment, and the war has burned to your motherland, is that right?
Abdullah is not surprised at this moment. The Iran-Iraq war has lasted for nearly seven years. This is no secret at all. However, when it comes to the war in Iraq, Abdullah's expression is also a little lonely. After a flash, Abdullah's face was full of confidence: "Yes, Mr. Nie, hateful Iranians, they invaded my motherland with the support of the Soviets. However. I believe that there is mediation by the United Nations. With the support of the United States. Our war will be won in the end.
"Of course, it is undeniable that at this time, because of the interests of the United States in the Middle East, they must support you. However, it seems. The United States did not dare to confront the huge Soviet Union directly. Your country is still in the midst of war. There is a saying in China that if you have no foresight, you will have near worries..."
Before Nie Zhenbang finished his words, Abdullah interrupted Nie Zhenbang's words directly. In later generations, there were so many terrorist attacks in the Middle East, including an uncle who was famous at the beginning of the 21st century. These people are all crazy religious fanatics. The psychology of these people is difficult for ordinary people to figure out.
Abdullah also has such a tendency. Perhaps Nie Zhenbang's words stimulated him. Abdullah looked gloomy and tried to say in a calm voice, "Mr. Nie, what do you want to say?"
Nie Zhenbang smiled and said, "Mr. Abdullah, don't be impatient. I don't mean anything else. I came to you through Director Li this time. The purpose is very simple, I think. Your motherland must need weapons. AK-47 assault rifles and individual rocket launchers produced from the original Soviet Union. These things, even Sam's shoulder missiles, of course, if you need it, weapons such as T72 or Katyusha are not impossible.
At this moment, Abdullah also stood up. What on earth does Mr. Nie do? The Soviets? It's impossible. Such a typical Chinese face. However, how could he get so many Soviet weapons?
T72, this thing is the main battle tank installed by the Soviet army now. Moreover, when Director Li introduced it, he said it mysteriously and vaguely, just saying that someone wanted to contact Iraq about the arms. However, who exactly is it? Nie Zhenbang's background was not mentioned.
After a moment of silence, Abdullah said solemnly, "Mr. Nie, it's a big deal. This is not something I can do at once. Everything can only wait until I get the reply from the president.
Then Abdullah stood up, turned around and walked out, here, as a famous halal restaurant. People like Abdullah must have some special emergency contacts here. Otherwise, in case Abdullah is eating here. If there is something urgent, can the president wait for him?
After a while, Abdullah walked into the box again, looking much more relaxed. Looking at Nie Zhenbang, Abdullah immediately said, "Mr. Nie, just now, I have contacted the country and talked to the President directly. The meaning of the president. If this is true, there is absolutely no problem for us in Iraq. However, the president wants you to visit Baghdad in person. Discuss the relevant matters with him face to face. What do you think?"
In fact, such a condition, if it is an ordinary arms dealer, is absolutely presumptuous. After all, this is only the first temptation and contact. Before the two sides have confirmed a trust relationship, no one will take such a big risk to negotiate and deal with a country.
However, Nie Zhenbang is already ready to go to Iraq, because Nie Zhenbang is very clear that since the Iran-Iraq War, the relationship between Iraq and the United States has not been as close as before. On the contrary, Iraq later became close to military transactions with the Soviet Union. Until a few years later, when the Gulf War broke out, Iraq was completely opposed to the United States. Based on these circumstances, Saddam is also eager to get a deal on military weapons other than the United States at this moment. There is absolutely no great danger in going there by yourself.
Thinking of this, Nie Zhenbang also nodded and said, "Of course, Mr. Abdullah, I am honored to go to Iraq. I believe. The cooperation between us will be very pleasant.
Abdullah also nodded. In terms of character, Abdullah was also a very straightforward person. Then Abdullah stood up and said, "Well, Mr. Nie, please give me your and your entourage's passports. I'll apply for a visa for you right away. Three days later, there was a direct flight to Baghdad. I wish you a safe journey in advance.
