As mentioned earlier, before Zhang Zhong was temporarily transferred to the Ministry of Ordnance Industry, he was at the Naval Equipment Development Planning Institute, and he himself was a naval officer.

The reason for this secondment was that in 1979, there were too few professional talents in various departments in China, so that after searching the entire Ministry of Weapon Industry, there was no senior talent who knew both equipment and Arabic.

So I had to borrow Zhang Zhong, a graduate of Peking University. Zhang Zhong was recommended in 1974 because he had performed well in the Navy and was recommended. Last year, he just graduated in June 1978 and worked at the Naval Equipment Research Institute for a year.

Today's Peking University students are very valuable.

It is precisely because of this resume that Zhang Zhong is most familiar with the Navy's equipment among the things that the Ministry of Weapon Industry can sell this time.

When he was in the planning office, his job was to demonstrate the planning and demonstration of anti-ship missiles.

So after thinking about Gu Ao's thoughts, he sighed and contacted his old career:

"That's a pity... In fact, our "Eagle Strike-5" anti-ship missile development has been increasing its investment since last year. When the project was launched, we must strive to reversely replicate the performance of the French "Flying Fish" missile. Unfortunately, the Navy has not had order demand, so the investment is still insufficient.

If Iraqis really want to buy it, I wonder if they can afford it. How big is the purchase volume? Even if we start to invest money in the missile research institute now, it will take at least three years to ship the goods. I am afraid that the war will be over by then. No one will amortize the emergency R&D costs for us..."

Going further, there are also old-fashioned "Eagle Strike" series of first-4 missiles in China, but those things are too backward. Many of them are imitating the "Styx" type of liquid fuel missiles in the 1950s, and the Iraqis definitely don't look down on them.

Zhang Zhong's words were originally just sighing to himself, but hearing Gu Ao's ears lit up.

Gu Ao is the only one on earth who knows that the Iraq-Iraq War will continue and cannot be completed in six or seven years.

So he quickly fooled, "Brother Zhong! I don't know how to explain it to you, and some sources of information are hard to say.

But based on my intelligence, I think this future war will not end too quickly as long as it can be fought - think about it, will the Americans fight Vietnam be over soon? No! With such a powerful force as the United States, it has been fighting for 14 years.

Because the current international situation is not only a Cold War, but also a Cold War where the strength of the United States and the Soviet Union is just as strong as possible. This is destined to end whether every proxy war can end. The key is not whether the combat effectiveness of the two sides in the war can immediately defeat the other side. It also depends on whether the supporters behind the other side will stop transfusions.

Iraq had a bad relationship with the United States before. Since 1973, General Hussein began to nationalize Iraq's U.S. oil companies shares, causing huge asset losses to US-funded giants such as Mobil Oil.

If something happened in Iran in February this year, the Pahlavi dynasty was over, and the United States was absolutely pro-Iran and anti-Iraq. So, the current situation is that the United States actually hates Iran and Iraq, and hopes that these two countries will die together.

Therefore, as long as they dare to fight in the future, as long as they do not have the ability to behead the enemy in an instant and end the war before foreign players can react, then international forces will definitely sell more arms to the weaker side and let them continue to fight. Unless one day the people of these two countries are exhausted and they will never be able to extract the value of arms business, this matter will be over."

Gu Ao was very generous and sold his views to Zhang Zhong.

As for the purpose, of course, Zhang Zhong advises relevant departments not to miss the opportunity and accelerate investment in the research and development of the "Eagle Strike-5" air-ship missile.

In history, this missile began to enter actual research and development in 1978, but because the country's focus is on economic construction, many military research and development budgets have been cut. I didn't expect this missile to be able to make foreign exchanges alone. So it took six years to go into production until 1984 and was successfully put into operation.

If it is a developed country and spending 6 years to build a brand new missile, it is of course not slow.

But considering that the Eagle Strike-5 only reversely replicated the French "Flying Fish" missiles in the 1960s, in fact, as long as you have money, it is possible to shorten the R&D cycle by half.

Gu Ao knew that the Iraq-Iraq War would take a long time to fight. If the Eagle Strike-5 was mass-produced two or three years in advance, it would just happen to catch up with the peak of the ship attack war, and it would undoubtedly create a lot of foreign exchange for the country.

And I am not afraid of changing any historical process. I am just turning the money earned by foreign arms companies into what the Chinese have earned.

Some people may say: After this incident was made, Gu Ao would not have any personal benefit? Even if Zhang Zhong made great contributions in planning and giving advice, he would eventually become Zhang Zhong's military rank.

But Gu Ao really didn't consider seeking selfish interests in this matter, just regarded it as a contribution to the country - anyway, he only analyzed it for a while, but it didn't cost any money.

Even if you just gain the friendship of a future general, it will be considered a profit.

The other reason why Gu Ao had to do this was to disgust the despicable English dog. When the English dog evacuated its colonies, it was the best at burying the mines.

For example, when they withdrew from India and Pakistan, they deliberately launched a Mountbatten plan to lure India and Pakistan into revenge, resulting in tens of millions of people being forced to migrate. How many people died in the conflict on the way, and it also led to war confrontation in the next decades and the long-term tension in Kashmir.

When we were dividing the Middle East, looking at the solution to a direct resolution of the economy and latitude between countries such as Syria, Iraq, etc., which led to so many territorial disputes later, we can also see the foundation of the British dog's shit.

In 1983, Yingdo will do his best to bury mines in negotiations with us.

It can be said that the English dogs in the 200 years before World War II were the shit-scratches in the European continent, and the English dogs in the 50 years after World War II were the shit-scratches in the whole world. They would be uncomfortable if they did not turn every piece of land they spit out into decay.

Even if some things are done to harm others and not benefit oneself, or even the harm of “healing three thousand people and two hundred themselves” harm others, Yingdo is very willing to do it, but would rather lose money on his own than believing that others are good.

Just 82 years before the British negotiations with us, it was the British-Ama War. The Frenchman's "Flying Fish" missile once caused a great loss to the British Navy, which had cross-ocean expeditions.

In the end, Britain relied on diplomatic pressure to prevent the French from exporting flying fish to the Argentines, which won the Falklands War. Otherwise, it would be not difficult for the Argentines to shoot openly and sink an aircraft carrier to the British.

Unfortunately, in history, when the fierce battle of Horse Island was fought, the domestic naval weapons department had not yet produced the "Eagle Strike-5" anti-ship missile that imitated "Flying Fish".

Otherwise, if it is done, Gu Ao will mediate the specific time of the war between Afghanistan and the negotiations here to negotiate chips... at least let the British Dog swallow a few more poisonous plans to dig pits and mines.

Of course, that's all four years later. Gu Ao will not be able to join the Ministry of Foreign Affairs anyway, and will not personally contact these things. He just treats it as a promotion to the cause of "high imitation flying fish" in advance and Wuming will make a contribution to the country. (This credit cannot be taken, nor can it be written out)

In the future, there will always be people who will remember his benefits, even if it is just a few people like Zhang Zhong, as well as a small group of top leaders, it is enough to know that Gu Ao has made great contributions to the country in the future.

The premise of all this is to immediately fool Zhang Zhongdao’s report and use the perspective of a former naval equipment planning officer to speed up the research and development of the Eagle Strike-5 anti-ship missile.

...

Gu Ao's orderly argumentation and analysis process naturally needs no further explanation. In short, Zhang Zhong feels quite profound.

Zhang Zhong used a lot of professional knowledge from his department to refute and deepen the questions, but Gu Ao tried to gradually resolve them.

Gu Ao couldn't answer many technical details, but his think tank level in the overall situation deduction really left a deep impression on Zhang Zhong.

The two soon attracted the age-loving friend who not only had a common language at work, but also had a very similar loyalty. (It was twelve or thirteen years apart, so it was barely considered a year-loving friend)

"This young comrade is indeed extraordinary. He is worthy of being the first outstanding student to perform after the resumption of the School of Diplomacy. This geopolitical situation analysis has reached the point of perfection.

As expected, foreign affairs analysts who have specialized in their professions and rely on industrial departments to become monks can't even catch up with the game... They have to record his analysis well, sort it out after they go back, and talk to the institute."

Zhang Zhong thought so, not knowing that he had been tricked by Gu Ao by strategy.

Many years later, as the matter was uncovered, Gu Ao also had another title: he was a super trick that could counter-spoil Zhang Zhong.

It is worthy of being the number one spokesperson trained by the diplomatic system over the years. No matter how realistic the lies are, the prediction will come.

After Zhang Zhong wrote down the key points that Gu Ao described, he thought about it carefully and said with shame: "Comrade Gu, what you said is really reasonable. I really want to use this reason to directly write to the institute - but it is possible that I cannot publish the source of the news. The report I have to write it as the result of my own investigation and analysis in the Middle East.

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t want to steal your credit, but if I expose your name to the report, the credibility of the report will be suspected by the above. As a staff member of the military planning department, I actually ask you for your advice and assist the decision-making of this unit, which is a violation of confidentiality discipline..."

Gu Ao expressed his understanding and patted Zhang Zhong's arm easily (I didn't dare to pat his shoulder): "Brother Zhong, we are all struggling on the front line, I understand. Besides, as long as you remember my goodness alone, it's fine.

As for whether you are willing to tactfully explain my contribution today in front of your leader after things are accomplished in the future, it depends on you. This is also a contribution to the country. We can just analyze it casually without spending any cost, so why bother with fame and fortune?

Of course, if the national policy changes a few years later and the establishment of an intermediary company is allowed to help sell arms, maybe I will come to take on business.”

The last sentence is naturally Gu Ao's joke, just to relieve the other party's psychological guilt.
