Lang's purchase of arms from the Republic is not as news.

Before the Fourth India-Pakistan War, Iran mainly purchased weapons and equipment from Russia. In the first 15 years of the 21st century, Iran successively purchased 3 "Kiro" class submarines, small frigates, Mig-29 fighter jets, 24 "Doy M1" air defense systems, etc. from Russia, with a total value of nearly 10 billion US dollars. During this period, Iran also purchased weapons and equipment from the Republic, including anti-ship missiles and missile speedboats.

The outcome of the Fourth India-Pakistan War directly changed Iran's arms procurement policy.

At the end of 2015, Iran and the Republic reached the largest arms deal in history, purchasing weapons and equipment and production technologies including early warning aircraft, air defense radar, air defense missiles, main battle tanks, self-propelled howitzers and rocket launchers from the Republic, with a total value of RMB.

This arms deal, personally facilitated by Kiyosuke, once attracted great attention from the international community.

In early 20166, when Pang Xinglong visited Israel, he explained to the Israeli Prime Minister, saying that the Republic will not sell strategic offensive weapons and weapons of mass destruction to Iran, and conduct arms trade with Iran to help Iran establish defensive national defense forces.

Later, Ji Youguo personally promoted Iran's commitment not to develop nuclear weapons and to open nuclear facilities to the International Atomic Energy Agency.

It can be seen from this that the Republic has always been very cautious in the issue of arms sales to Iraq, and even when selling defensive weapons and equipment, the interests of the Middle East countries were fully taken into account.

At this moment, a new problem was placed before the Republic.

The list of weapons issued by Iran is very "rich". In terms of the Air Force, it not only requires the purchase of J-10fc-11 fighter jets, but also requires the purchase of J-111 and J-13 fighter jets, and separately proposes to purchase 6 "Air Guard 2000 early warning aircraft, 24 long-range air defense system and 36 medium- and short-range air defense systems. In terms of the Army, it requires the addition of 350 "Walid" main battle tanks, namely the patent production rights of the z99 main battle tank (mainly

If this type of tank uses ground-level secondary turbocharged diesel engines and 125mm smoothbore guns, it must be imported from the Republic), purchase or purchase a Type 750 infantry fighting vehicle by purchasing production patents, and purchase an additional 155mm self-propelled howitzer and 24mm rocket launcher. In the Navy, 12 hydrofoil missile speedboats, 6-type multi-purpose missile frigates, and conventional submarines equipped with AIP systems are added, and submarines are specially proposed to purchase submarine-launched cruise missiles.

When Pang Xinglong reported the situation to Ji Youguo, the valuation of 150 yuan was significantly lower.

According to Iran's requirements, except for large equipment such as warships and submarines, other weapons and equipment are hoped that the Republic can provide "spot" as soon as possible. Obviously, Pang Xinglong mentioned that the procurement costs of land only include the "spot" part. If the procurement costs of warships and submarines are included, the total value will not be less than 200 yuan.

There is no doubt that the "strategic offensive weapons" of these arms, including the Republic, have not been sold to Iran.

Take the J-10 fighter as an example. Even if it is not refueled in the air, it carries 3 large sub-fuel tanks, 2 laser-guided bombs or 2 air-to-ground missiles, and 2 self-defense ground fighting missiles. It adopts a high-low-high flight line. The combat radius reaches 1,250 kilometers. It takes off from the air base in the west of Iran. It is enough to bomb Israel's local targets. J-10 is also a medium-sized fighter. J-111 and J-13 heavy fighter. J-13 battle radius exceeds 1,500 meters during ground attack missions. It is enough to cover all local targets in Israel.

Large early warning aircraft, AIP conventional submarines and submarine-launched cruise missiles are all "strategic offensive weapons".

Even if Iran does not provide "strategic offensive weapons", this arms deal will still break the strategic balance of the Middle East.

Take Army equipment as an example. If the Republic accepts all Iran's procurement projects, Iran will have the most powerful armored assault forces and long-range artillery units in the Middle East, and the army and local combat capabilities are far greater than any neighboring country.

Even "pure defensive weapons" such as air defense systems will have a huge impact on the situation in the Middle East.

Israel has always suspected that Iran has not only not stopped its nuclear weapons project, but also secretly produced and processed weapon-level enrichment in underground facilities in Aliabad, Accra, Isfahan and other places. In early 2016, Mossad came up with a very convincing "evidence": the electricity from the newly built Furg Hydropower Station and two large gas thermal power stations in Iran only enter the civilian power grid, and the remaining 60% are under a "Dugum" project. Although the Iranian government later explained to the outside world that the "Dugum" project is the largest seawater desalination project in the Port of Abbas, whether Iran is still conducting secret enrichment activities has attracted high attention from the international community.

For this matter, Ji Youguo also sent Huang Guowei to Tehran as the head of state envoy to meet with the Iranian president and spiritual leader.

Israel has been trying to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities and nuclear industry with "surgical" air strikes, completely eliminating its concerns, but it was restricted by the United States and failed to take action.

After the "Dugum incident" was exposed, the Israeli Prime Minister even threatened to launch a "destructive blow" to Iran.

Everyone knows that Israel is one

Nuclear states”. According to external estimates, Israel secretly produces and reserves nuclear weapons.

The Republic's sale of air defense systems to Iran will inevitably significantly offset Israel's air strike capabilities.

In the local dialect of Western news media, after Iran established the world's "most perfect" national air defense network with the help of the Republic, it will develop nuclear weapons more unscrupulously, which will have a very serious impact on peace and stability in the Middle East and even the world.

To the Republic, Iran is not a real "ally".

The Republic's Middle East strategy is by no means blindly supporting Iran, but seeking a balance between Iran, Arab countries and Israel.

In the most complex region in the world, even the United States dare not blindly support one side.

With the current strength of the Republic and overseas intervention capabilities, adopting a "balanced policy" in the Middle East can most effectively safeguard and realize national interests.

Selling weapons to Iran will not only stimulate Israel, but also Arab countries in the Gulf region.

In 2015, before Tehran signed an arms sale contract with Iran, Ji Youguo signed a smaller but significant arms sale contract with the Saudi crown prince in Riyadh. The purpose of this move is to eliminate Arab countries' concerns and doubts about the Republic's sale of weapons to Iran and enhance mutual trust.

Even if the Republic sells weapons to Iran at this time, mainly to help Iran deal with the threat from the United States, it will have unexpected consequences. The United States will not allow the Republic to expand its influence in the Middle East, and will inevitably make a big fuss and seize the Arab countries that are already biased towards the United States.

Ji Youguo discussed these issues with the Prime Minister by leaving Pang Xinglong alone.

"The diplomatic work must be done in advance." Pang Xinglong rubbed his forehead, "If it weren't for too many domestic things, we should visit the Middle Eastern countries as soon as possible. Now it seems that we can only let Huang Guowei go."

"It's better to let him visit Arab countries as the head of state." Ji Youguo touched his chin, "first get a vaccination, and then put pressure on the United States through Arab countries, drag the United States, and gain more time."

"I can only do this." Pang Xinglong sighed and said, "I think we should pay attention to the country."

Ji Youguo nodded. "This is for sure. I really want to tell you about this. The Spring Festival is coming, and a general congress will be held after the festival. Have those bills been completed?"

"Everything is ready. I'll send it to you after I finish reading it tomorrow."

"That's good, at least one thing is missing."

"Head of the People's Republic of China, do you really want to issue these bills?" Pang Xinglong seemed a little worried.

Ji Youguo nodded meaningfully and said, "Anyway, I am about to leave. Before I step down, I will solve more problems for you and Lao Zhao. Even if someone scolds me, I will scold me and I won't scold you."

"But……"

Ji Youguo pressed down and said, "I have already explained the work that should be assigned. In the future, you and Lao Zhao will face more challenges and difficulties. Although I have great confidence in you, if you can do more, you can do more. After retreating, I also want to spend a few days of purity. If you don't get things done well now, will you have a headache in the future?"

Pang Xinglong sighed and said, "Actually, I just feel a little too hasty."

"Is that?" Ji Youguo shook his head with a smile, "I have been thinking about these things a few months ago. I felt a little too hasty at the time, but I figured it out later. At the beginning of the month, Xiao Pan and I accidentally talked about some problems. This time, the storm of integrity gained a lot, but the root cause was not solved. You are a smart person and should know where the root cause is. If you don't do it thoroughly, will you fight corruption again ten years or twenty years later?"

"I understand." Pang Xinglong nodded, "This is indeed an opportunity, and it will be difficult to encounter such an opportunity in the future."

"The same goes for government work, you have to contribute more in the future."

Pang Xinglong raised his head and looked at the head of state.

"Old Zhao has a very good ability, but sometimes he is a little procrastinated. In terms of government work, his ability is still lacking. As the Premier of the State Council, you have a heavy burden, and those who can do more work. After more than six years, I have always been very confident in your ability. In terms of managing the economy, I am afraid that no one in the government can do better than you." Ji Youguo patted Pang Xinglong's shoulder, "In the next few years, the main job will be to develop the economy, minimize the losses caused by the financial crisis and economic crisis, and allow the Republic to successfully survive the difficulties. I believe that the future will be better. Don't be too stressed. National development is not the business of a few of us, and it requires the joint efforts of the people of the whole country.

”

Pang Xinglong nodded, knowing that Ji Youguo was giving in to his work.

"In a few days, I will ask Wang Yuanqing to send some information." Ji Youguo yawned, "When the time comes, you can take the time to take a look."

"First of the People, I will say goodbye if I have nothing else to do."

After seeing Pang Xinglong off, Ji Youguo went back to sleep. Before leaving office, there were a lot of work to explain, and Ji Youguo was even busier than usual.
