The Emergency Standing Committee unanimously agreed to Mu Guoxing's proposal to form a secret military alliance with Iran and Pakistan, and decided to send volunteers to help Iran resist the aggression of NATO led by the United States at a critical moment in Iran.But at the same time, it is necessary to limit the scale of this war, which is limited to the territory of Iran. Iran must not be allowed to attack Israel or other countries after winning the war, and Iran’s nuclear use must be closely monitored. Iran must not be allowed to have nuclear weapons.A monolithic Middle East is not in the interests of China. It is also a good way to have Israel disrupting the situation, which is also in the long-term interests of China.

An important meeting is being held in the Oval Office of the President of the White House in the United States. Although China's aid to Iran is a secret operation, it is impossible to keep such a big matter completely secret. You must know that the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States is not a vegetarian of.

"Gentlemen, Mr. Bill has introduced the situation to everyone. Now, please talk about what good suggestions you have."

Minister of Defense Chase's face was flushed with excitement. The spokesperson of this big arms dealer in the Bowman government welcomes war the most. Only in this way can their interest groups make money from war.

"China is determined to help Iran against us this time. I don't think there is anything to be afraid of. The United States and NATO are the most powerful military groups in the world. China alone will not What a big achievement. Although their Dongfeng series of anti-aircraft missiles are very powerful, we have also strengthened the air defense force of the aircraft carrier battle group in the past two years, especially in the anti-missile aspect. We have made a qualitative leap. Last time Our contest with the Huaxia J-18 fighter jet over the South China Sea has enabled us to master various performance parameters of this fighter jet. After modification and upgrade, the F22B fighter jet is fully capable of defeating the J-18 fighter jet. In terms of ground equipment, we have The powerful army is not comparable to the Iranian army."

Secretary of State Michael said: "I don't agree with Mr. Chase's speech. Our weapons and equipment are upgrading and improving, and China is doing the same thing. How can Mr. Chase think that we are sure to win? I think this Let's ask Mr. Bill to talk about it."

Bill, who had been brainwashed by Chase, took a few sips of the water in front of him, and said with a smile: "In the past two years, we have strengthened the collection of Chinese military intelligence. According to the information we have, the J-18 fighter jet and The Dongfeng series of anti-aircraft carrier missiles have not undergone major improvements, and I think we are at least 60.00% sure of winning."

Bowman smiled and listened to the opinions of the cabinet members. For a while, the cabinet members were divided into two factions. Some were in favor of attacking Iran as planned, but mainly focused on air strikes. The war may further damage the US economy, which has just shown signs of recovery.

All the things to be said were finished, and finally all the cabinet members focused their attention on Bowman's face. Now the decision-making power was in the hands of Bowman, the President of the United States and the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.

"Gentlemen, although the U.S. economy does not allow us to fight a large-scale war, it is still possible to fight a local war. This can stimulate the development of military enterprises and increase employment. As for the cost of the war, we don't need to worry about it. We have reached an agreement with NATO members. The United States only pays 20.00% of the entire cost, which is 20.00%. After the war, it can also be compensated with Iranian oil. More importantly, we can defeat Iran once and for all. It is in the long-term interests of the United States to control the Middle East forever."

With Bowman's final decision, the huge war machine of the United States started to run again. At the same time, China and Iran were also intensively preparing for war, and the cloud of war was getting thicker and thicker over the Middle East.

Text two thousand 770 chapter two too arrogant

The central government decided to set up a command center for aiding Iran, appointing Mu Congwu, vice chairman of the Military Commission and chief of the general staff, as the commander-in-chief, and Qu Dongjin, the minister of defense, as the deputy commander-in-chief. NATO military aggression against Iran.os*o.*

Iranian President Hassan and Pakistani President Beto visited China almost at the same time. After consultations among the three countries, they signed a mutual assistance and friendship agreement. Economic development, in fact, another secret agreement is concealed behind this agreement, that is, the mutual defense treaty among the three countries.

When the news came out, public opinion in the world was in an uproar. Everyone understood what this openly signed treaty of mutual assistance and friendship meant. If one country was invaded by another country, it would definitely affect the interests of the other two countries. Under such circumstances, of course the three countries must unite to deal with it together.

The London Times wrote in an article that the treaty of mutual assistance and friendship signed by China, Pakistan and Iran is actually a close alliance of national relations.With the increasing national strength, Huaxia has abandoned the non-alignment policy that it has implemented for many years in the past, and has begun to seek its own allies in the world.

The U.S. net also reported the news comprehensively, and vividly referred to the Triple Alliance as the East Treaty Group, and pointed out the establishment of the Triple Alliance.Its purpose is to fight against NATO led by the United States. Under the new international situation, Chinese leaders have clearly realized that only alliances can make their country stronger, and they can also resist NATO's eastward expansion and China's strategic space. extrusion.

U.S. Secretary of State Michael visited China urgently and asked Huaxia to explain. What is the purpose of the agreement signed by the three countries?

Huaxia is a master of Tai Chi. When Gao Xu was meeting Michael, he always insisted on the mutual assistance treaty signed by Huaxia, Iran and Pakistan, just to strengthen the trade cooperation among the three countries and protect the common interests of the three countries. As for the means of protection, Michael can only guess.

The United States did not show any weakness, and joined forces with the United Kingdom and France to submit a proposal for the sixth sanctions against Iran to the UN Security Council. The proposed sanctions are much more severe than the previous five. Everyone knows that the United States is To trap Iran.

Because China rejected their proposal to build an oil pipeline, Russia is now going to take revenge. Not only has it changed its consistent attitude of supporting Iran, but it has also voted for the United States.Faced with this situation, Huaxia did not hesitate to use its veto power, making the United States' attempt to impose further sanctions on Iran come to naught.

Now the influence of the United States in the world is not as great as it used to be, and it can't manipulate the United Nations to make resolutions that are beneficial to them as before. If the Security Council can't get what they need, they will use NATO to send China, Iran and Pakistan exert pressure.They even clamored arrogantly that if the three countries failed to terminate the treaty, NATO would reserve the right to take further retaliation.

The European Union also urgently held a meeting of leaders of the member states. At the meeting, the United Kingdom put forward a proposal to impose comprehensive sanctions on China, Iran and Pakistan, but they did not expect to be firmly opposed by Greece and Spain. What surprised them even more was that Poland also voted against the British proposal at the meeting.

It is understandable to say that Greece and Spain objected, because they received assistance from China at a critical moment and avoided the consequences of national bankruptcy. However, Poland, a vanguard who has always insisted on independence, also opposed the British proposal at this time. It cannot fail to shock countries such as Britain and France.

The sanctions proposal proposed by the United Kingdom at the EU leaders' meeting was shelved due to the abstentions of Germany, Italy and other countries and the opposition of Greece, Spain and Poland.

Greek Minister Kendall said in his speech: "Gentlemen, China has now become the world's largest economy on par with the United States, and its economic development momentum far exceeds the world average. Far behind. In this case, the EU needs to further strengthen cooperation with China instead of engaging in confrontation. We can no longer judge everything now with the thinking of the Cold War in the past. What are we talking about now for China, Iran and Pakistan? Isn’t it ridiculous? If we offend China, who will save the EU, the end of the EU will only be split.”

Most of the countries within the EU belong to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Since the members of the North Atlantic Treaty Treaty stipulate their rights and obligations, it is not easy for them to openly oppose the proposal of the United States and Britain to carry out military strikes against Iran.But under such circumstances, each country has to make its own calculations. Now even the monolithic EU is showing signs of splitting, not to mention the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, a military alliance established during the Cold War.

The Times exclaimed that China's influence has penetrated deep into the EU, and some EU countries have stood on China's side without hesitation. If they can't take effective measures to further eliminate prejudices and unite to deal with national sovereignty The debt crisis may not take long, and the European Union, a powerful international organization, may fall apart.

Some famous international figures and think tanks also expressed their opinions in the media. They seemed to have been unified in their caliber. They agreed that if the current development continues, the EU will be in five years, or within ten years. Split.The European Union will become a hasty passer-by in history, and the world may be polarized between the East and the West, and the United States and China will jointly control the future of the world.Some people even boldly predict that ten years later, the United States will become a second-rate country, and China will become the only powerful country in the world.

The United States seems to be crazy, sending high-ranking officials to visit countries around the world non-stop, lobbying their ideas about the new world order.That is, the world will be jointly led by the United States, China and the European Union.This is also a cliché of new wine in old bottles. There is nothing new. If the world is jointly led by the three forces, the United States and the European Union will naturally unite, and China is still in a weak position.The question is, can Huaxia follow the route set by the United States?the answer is negative.

The sea in the Persian Gulf was calm, and Huaxia's [-]-ton giant ship, Haihua, was heading for Bandar Abbas in Iran with a full load of cargo. Suddenly, the telegrapher received a telegram in international clear code. The telegrapher was taken aback, and immediately called Captain Du Hang.

"Reporting to the captain, I just received a message from the destroyer USS Alaska, ordering us to anchor on the spot and wait for their inspection."

Following the voice of the telegrapher, a huge black-gray warship appeared in Du Hang's telescope in the cab, and was heading towards the freighter he was on.

"The whole ship is on level one alert, immediately report the emergency to the country."

It is said to be a first-level alert, but it is only a countermeasure formulated by ocean-going cargo ships when they encounter pirate hijackings. Facing such a destroyer armed to the teeth, no one dares to take it lightly. In order to avoid collisions, Du Hang ordered the cargo ship to Minus, 15 minutes later, the destroyer USS Alaska approached the USS Haihua.

The tweeter on the destroyer sounded: "The freighter Haihua, please drop anchor on the spot. We suspect that your freighter is loaded with goods that violate the relevant regulations of sanctions against Iran, and must be subject to our inspection."

Du Hang picked up the microphone: "We are Huaxia Freighter, you have no right to inspect us."

"According to the regulations of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, we have the right to inspect any ship passing through the Persian Gulf. Please cooperate with us to avoid misunderstanding."

"Huaxia is not a member of NATO, and we are not obliged to implement the regulations of NATO."

The political commissar, who was resting in the cabin, hurried over when he heard the news, and was also taken aback when he saw this posture: "What's going on, why should the US warship intercept us?"

Du Hang smiled: "It seems that they want to repeat the incident of the Yinhe in the last century. I think they are too arrogant this time."

Text 770, Chapter [-], Shame and Disgrace

The Yinhe incident occurred in the early 90s of last century, when China’s national power was still weak. Under the guidance of the strategic thinking that military construction should give way to economic development, China’s navy hadn’t acquired a new ship for decades. Most of the ships were also dilapidated, not to mention protecting their own ocean-going fleet, but it was also very difficult to effectively protect the 12 nautical mile territorial waters. It was precisely because of this that Huaxia suffered a great shame at that time.

Yinhe is a full-container freighter owned by Guangdong Ocean Shipping Company of Huaxia Ocean Shipping Corporation. On July 1993, 7, the ship set sail after loading cargo at Xingang in the north as planned. It passed through the East, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Jakarta. Finally, it carried 7 containers and sailed to the Middle East. It is expected to arrive in the Persian Gulf on August 628. Unload at Dubai Port, then go to Saudi Dammam Port and Kuwait Port.

However, the United States created evil waves out of nothing.From July 7, on the grounds of obtaining intelligence, it was accused that the freighter Yinhe was carrying two types of raw materials for making chemical weapons, thiodiglycol and thionyl chloride, and was sailing to Bandar Abbas in Iran.U.S. officials also plausibly declared that the U.S. government requires the Huaxia government to take immediate measures to stop this export behavior, and blatantly threatens Huaxia, and will impose sanctions on Huaxia if it does not cooperate.

On August 8, in another negotiation with the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the United States actually asked the Chinese government to order the Yinhe to return to the place of origin, or for the Americans to board the ship to inspect the cargo, and finally proposed to let the Yinhe stay at a certain place to wait for landing.Not only that, the United States also spread its false information to the countries where the cargo ship planned to call at the port, and based on this, asked these countries to prevent the cargo ship from entering the port to unload as planned.

Huaxia lodged a strong protest against the United States' repeated groundless accusations and domineering actions. In order to prevent the situation from deteriorating further, coupled with its own inability to protect the Yinhe in the open sea, Huaxia was forced to instruct the Yinhe to suspend its progress on August 8. , Dropped anchor on the high seas more than 3 nautical miles away from the Strait of Hormuz.

After a serious and comprehensive investigation of the US's doubts, Huaxia clearly told the US on August 8 that the cargo ship Yinhe did not carry the two chemicals mentioned by the US at all, and put forward positive suggestions to solve the problem, including the first in the Middle East. At the port of Dubai, the local customs and the Chinese side jointly inspected the Galaxy container suspected by the United States.

On August 8, the person in charge of China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs made a statement sternly pointing out that the departure date, port of departure, and port of arrival of the Huaxia Yinhe claimed by the United States are completely untrue. It is an overbearing behavior of ignoring Huaxia's clarification.However, until August 7, a senior US official also declared: We have reliable intelligence proving that there are chemical weapons precursors on board, and we are determined to inspect the ship.The framing, accusations and threats from the United States were like a nightmare for the Yinhe. After sailing into the Indian Ocean, the crew of the Yinhe found an American warship closely following them. At first they thought that the warship was with them. Sailing together, but the 8-year-old captain Zhang Rude, based on his years of experience as a captain and sailing experience, faintly felt that the situation was abnormal.

At 8 a.m. on August 3, after the Yinhe arrived in the Gulf of Oman, a U.S. military helicopter hovered over the Yinhe and tracked it, asking about the name, heading, flight, and cargo status of the Yinhe, as well as the port of departure and destination.The door of the US helicopter was opened, and it took pictures of the Milky Way wheel from time to time.

At 12:3 noon that day, US warship No. 61 approached the Yinhe and followed it all the time.At 19:3 on the same day, according to the company's instructions, the freighter Yinhe broke down in the Gulf of Oman about 11 nautical miles away from the Strait of Hormuz and was on standby.During this period, U.S. warships No. 61, No. 975, and No. 996 sailed around the Yinhe at a distance of two to five nautical miles in turn, setting off layers of evil waves. U.S. fighter jets, helicopters, and reconnaissance planes were constantly around it. Hovering at low altitude, blowing up gusts of wind, as if to engulf the entire Milky Way, the Persian Gulf is hot in midsummer, and the temperature under the sun is as high as 5o degrees Celsius.The hull of Yinhe, which is drifting on the high seas, is scorching hot, and blisters will form when hands touch the deck or the iron guardrail.The cabin is like a big steamer.However, the crew could not bathe and receive adequate nutritional supplements as usual.Because the Yinhe was drifting on the high seas for a long time, the fresh water and food carried on the normal voyage began to run short.Captain Zhang Rude had to ask everyone to save water and food.On the day they broke down, they began to reduce the food standard, from the usual three dishes and one soup to two dishes and one soup, and the quantity was significantly less than usual.

In order to save water, some people don't even take a bath for a week.People have lost weight, their physical fitness has declined, and the number of patients has increased.But they were not intimidated by everything in front of them. When the Americans called the captain from the warship and said that we can provide you with oil, water and food, Captain Zhang Rude flatly refused and said: We don't need it!The crew said: In order to maintain the dignity of the motherland, they would rather eat frugally than a drop of oil or water from the United States.After more than 1 days of anchoring outside the Strait of Hormuz, the Yinhe moved 38 nautical miles to the southwest after negotiations between the governments, and anchored in the Sea of ​​Oman about 5 nautical miles outside the port of Fujairah in the northeast of the United Arab Emirates. After many efforts, the Yinhe ship entered Dammam Port, and representatives of the Chinese government and the Saudi government boarded the ship for inspection. The United States also sent experts to participate in the inspection as technical consultants for Saudi Arabia.

On the morning of August 8, American and Saudi personnel, accompanied by Chinese personnel, carried out an inventory and browsing inspection of the cargo on board.U.S. technicians, dressed in desert camouflage uniforms and carrying unpacking tools, inspection instruments, and flashlights, have long been eager to try.The Chinese side has repeatedly stated that the Yinhe ship did not carry the two types of chemicals claimed by the US side, so it is naturally confident. As for the Saudi government, it has adopted a minimum attitude of mutual non-offense, providing a place where the US side wants to seize evidence and the Chinese side wants to clarify the facts.

At 8o:29 am on August 1, the unpacking inspection began.The cargo boxes destined for Iran were naturally affected. When the first box was opened, it was full of lead-sealed black iron drums, which surprised the layman.The Americans present were surprised, the Saudis were surprised, and only the Chinese were calm.

The American technical experts were overjoyed, carefully pondering these black iron drums, thinking that these might be the two types of liquid chemicals they were looking for.When they were told that there were solid dyes inside, they didn't believe it, and still took out two boxes from the middle and opened them to see what happened.Even the shoe cartons destined for Iran were not spared, suspected of containing liquid chemicals.

This morning, the Americans successively opened 25 containers shipped from China to Iran.In the evening, the remaining boxes were checked.By around 11:[-] p.m., all the containers shipped from China (including via Hong Kong) to Iran have been unpacked and inspected. There are no chemical weapons precursors such as thiodiglycol and thionyl chloride that the United States claims are being shipped to Iran. After the two types of chemicals they were looking for were not found in the cargo boxes in Iran, the next day they proposed to check all the suspected cargo boxes boarded from Xingang and Dongfang Port in the north.Faced with the aggressive attitude of the United States, China had no choice but to agree to the request of the United States.However, the results of the inspection disappointed the Americans again. There were no dangerous chemicals on board at all.

The Americans were a little flustered at this time, so they suspected that the information they received was wrong.According to them, the box numbers provided by the US intelligence agencies are csaQ31o1 and csaQ31o2.When they found that the Yinhe freighter did not have these two containers and their bill of lading numbers at all, they suspected that the intelligence department had misremembered the numbers, so they proposed to check the similar and easily confused container number csaQ3o1o.

But when I opened the box, it turned out to be playing cards destined for Pakistan.The stupidity of the Americans became the laughing stock of everyone present.By around 11:49 p.m., a total of 31 containers shipped from China to Iran and those that the United States suspected and believed to be inspected were all opened and inspected. As a result, the Americans still found nothing, so they bet on the [-]st. On the test results.

Text two thousand 770 four chapters naval escort

Unfortunately, assays have shown that none of the above chemicals are thiodiglycol and thionyl chloride.The Americans were in an embarrassing situation, but they didn't stop there. At the negotiating table on August 8, the US representative and the counselor of the US embassy in Saudi Arabia, Makyoum, said that Washington believes that the US only inspected part of the cargo of the Yinhe, and it cannot be determined that the two types of chemicals, thiodiglycol and thionyl chloride, were not on board.
