This is the famous embassy district in the capital. When reading VIP novels for the first time, come here [ ] Since the Republic of China and even the pre-Qing Dynasty, this has been a place where foreigners gather.
Around 7 p.m.
Nie Zhenbang has already arrived here. Less than 500 meters away from Dongmin Lane, there is a halal restaurant. This is a famous Islamic restaurant in Beijing. Basically, people who believe in Islam like to eat here.
As soon as Nie Zhenbang entered the door, everyone in the restaurant looked up. Very few non-Islamic people came in here. Especially, they were Han Chinese like Nie Zhenbang.
Sh Ying also came up to us and said with a smile: "Sir, are you having a meal? Since you are here, please be careful with your words. Please be patient with 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 Sh Ying heard these words, his expression became respectful. Abdullah Abraham Sumida was a celebrity in a halal restaurant. He was also the ambassador of Iraq to China. In addition,
Abdullah was a frequent visitor to the halal restaurant, and over time, everyone in the restaurant got to know Abdullah.
At this time, after hearing Nie Zhenbang's words, those who originally looked at Nie Zhenbang curiously all looked away.
Under the guidance of the messenger, Nie Zhenbang went directly to the second floor and sat down in a box with a strong Islamic style.
About half an hour later, Abdullah had already appeared at the door of the box. As soon as he saw Nie Zhenbang, Abdullah smiled and said in broken Chinese: "Excuse me, are you Mr. Nie? Mr. Li told me, Nie
Sir, he is a great figure in the capital, but I didn't expect him to be so young."
Nie Zhenbang also stood up, stretched out his hand and said: "Mr. Abdullah, I am very happy to meet you here. Mr. Li thanks you. I am not as powerful as he said. I just have a little bit of connections.
"
Abdullah's dress looks very Muslim. He is wearing a long white robe, and a white turban is wrapped around his head. His beard and appearance highlight the typical Middle Eastern style.
Hearing what Nie Zhenbang said, Abdullah also laughed and motioned for Nie Zhenbang to sit down. After all the dishes were served, Abdullah smiled and said: "Mr. Nie, according to Chinese customs,
You all like to talk about things at the wine table, can we have a good chat before dinner? You came to me through Mr. Li, what's the matter?"
Although Abdullah is also Asian, he speaks very directly. After sitting for less than two minutes, he went 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 currently at war with Iran, and the flames of the war have already reached you.
Is this the case with our motherland?”
Abdullah was not surprised at this moment. The Iran-Iraq war has been going on for almost seven years. This is not a secret at all. But when it comes to the war in Iraq, Abdullah
His expression was also a little lonely. For a moment, Abdullah's face was filled with a confident expression: "Yes, Mr. Nie, the hateful Iranians, with the support of the Soviets, they invaded
My motherland. However, I believe that with the mediation of the United Nations and the support of the United States, our war will eventually win."
"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 that the United States does not dare to directly confront the huge Soviet Union. Your country is still in the flames of war.
There is a saying in China that if you don’t have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries..."
Before Nie Zhenbang finished speaking, Abdullah interrupted Nie Zhenbang directly. In later generations, there were so many terrorist attacks in the Middle East, including a certain uncle who became famous in the early 21st century. These people, but
They are all crazy religious fanatics. The psychology of these people is difficult for ordinary people to fathom.
Abdullah also had this tendency. Perhaps Nie Zhenbang's words hurt him. Abdullah's expression became serious, and he tried to say in a calm voice: "Mr. Nie, what do you want to say?"
Nie Zhenbang smiled and said: "Mr. Abdullah, please be patient. I have no other intentions. I am looking for you through Director Li this time. My purpose is very simple. I think your motherland must need weapons."
K-47 assault rifles and individual rocket launchers from the original Soviet factory. These things, and even SAM shoulder-fired missiles. Of course, if you need it, weapons like T72 or Katyusha are not impossible.
.”
At this moment, Abdullah also stood up. What does this Mr. Nie do? A Soviet? Impossible, with such a typical Chinese face. But how could he get so many Soviet standard weapons?
T72, this thing is the main battle tank currently in use by the Soviet army. Moreover, when Director Li introduced it, he was very mysterious and vague. He just said that someone wanted to contact Iraq about arms. However, the specifics
Who is he? Nie Zhenbang’s background is not mentioned.
After a moment of silence, Abdullah then said solemnly: "Mr. Nie, it's a very important matter. This is not something I can make the decision at once. Everything can only be done after I get back to the country and get a reply from the president."
Immediately, Abdullah stood up, turned around and walked out. This is a famous halal restaurant. People like Abdullah must have some special emergency contact numbers here. Otherwise, what if?
If there is something urgent while Abdullah is eating here, can the president still be asked to wait for him?
A moment later, Abdullah walked into the box again, and his expression seemed much more relaxed. Looking at Nie Zhenbang, Abdullah immediately said: "Mr. Nie, just now, I have already contacted the country and contacted the president directly.
We talked on the phone. What the president meant is that if this matter is true, we will have absolutely no problems in Iraq. However, the president hopes that you will go to Baghdad in person and discuss relevant matters with him in person. What do you think?"
In fact, such conditions would definitely be very presumptuous for an ordinary arms dealer. After all, this is just the first trial and contact. No one would take such a risk before both parties have established a trust relationship.
The big risk is to negotiate and deal with a country.
However, Nie Zhenbang was already prepared to go to Iraq, because Nie Zhenbang knew very well that since the Iran-Iraq War, the relationship between Iraq and the United States was not as close as before. On the contrary, Iraq later became closer in military transactions with the Soviet Union.
It was not until the Gulf War broke out a few years later that Iraq and the United States were completely at odds with each other. Judging from these circumstances, Saddam is also eager to obtain other military weapons deals besides the United States. In the past, he was
There's absolutely no big danger.
Thinking of this, Nie Zhenbang also nodded and said: "Of course, Mr. Abdullah, I am honored to be able to go to Iraq. I believe that the cooperation between us will be very pleasant."
Abdullah also nodded. In terms of personality, Abdullah is also a very straightforward person. Then Abdullah stood up and said: "Okay, Mr. Nie, please bring you and your entourage."
Give me your passport. I will apply for a visa for you right away. In three days, there will be a direct flight to Baghdad. I wish you a safe journey in advance."
