"Who's this?" Fred asked.

"This is the son of our Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, the God of War of the Southern Military Region, Your Excellency Qusay." Fate said.

Fred's face tightened, and the Lord finally came. He walked forward quickly and said, "Your Excellency Qusay, it's an honor to meet you."

Zhang Feng stretched out his hand, shook hands with the other party cordially, and said: "Welcome friends from afar, Northrop Corporation is a very famous large group in the military industry, and Mr. Fred is the company's deputy general manager." , I am so honored to be able to come to Iraq in person.”

Zhang Feng spoke fluent English.

"Where is it?" Fred said. "The United States and Iraq have a very deep friendship. In order to deal with the hateful Khomeini, we sincerely help the Iraqi people to defeat Iran as soon as possible."

Break down early?I'm afraid the Americans are not so kind.Zhang Feng knew that this kind of scene was just polite words, and it didn't matter what he said.

"Today is just to welcome everyone. As long as we don't destroy our customs, please do whatever you want," Zhang Feng said.

The music sounded again, and the hall once again fell into a sea of ​​joy.

No one noticed that the Commander of the Military Area Commander Izzat, the Chief of Staff Hart who were still in the hall just now, and His Excellency Qusay who just came in, as well as Fred and Kashin, they all quietly retreated and came to the second floor. A meeting room on the ground floor.

"When we were in Kuwait, we heard that His Majesty Qusay was a very kind person to our friends. Today, the Southern Military Region has given us such hospitality, and we are so grateful." Kashin said.

terrific?Zhang Feng thought to himself, when we talk about conditions later, you must stop talking like that.Besides, this kind of superficial effort is just to shorten the distance between each other. Now the United States is still superficially supporting Iraq, and it is a bit inappropriate to let their delegation sit on the bench.

"Where, where..." Zhang Feng said, "We have always been very warm to our American friends. I wonder if you can get used to the climate here when you come to the Middle East?"

The other party didn't mention it, and Zhang Feng didn't take the initiative to mention the main content, just talking casually with them as if it was a routine.

Yizart and Fate also added a sentence or two from time to time.

Finally, Kashin became anxious and said, "We are here this time to promote the latest fighter jet developed by our company."

Hearing this, Zhang Feng was very surprised and said: "The latest fighter? Is it a fighter more advanced than the Iranian Tomcat?"

"Yes, of course." Fred said: "Our fighter jet can completely compete with the Iranian Tomcat, and we can shoot it down from the front."

Start bragging, and don't be afraid that the wind will flash your tongue!Zhang Feng thought to himself, can a light fighter be comparable to a heavy fighter?

However, Izzat became interested and said: "That's really great. We very much hope to have a fighter that can kill the Iranian Tomcat in close combat. I have killed a tomcat from a distance, and wrestled with a tomcat, it is simply courting death."

Kashen's face was a little ugly, he coughed and said, "Our fighter jet is very small and flexible, and has advanced fire control radar. With the Sparrow air-to-air missile, it can completely shoot down the Tomcat."

Kashin did not mention whether it was a close-range combat, but only mentioned the Sparrow air-to-air missile, completely avoiding that topic, and then he said: "Our fighter jets can completely surpass Iraq's current equipment in terms of various performance indicators. of all models."

Hart asked from the side: "Really? Could it be that this kind of fighter jet flies faster and higher than the MiG-25?"

Fred was speechless, why did the other party say such words, as if sarcastic, which American-made fighter jet can fly at three times the speed of sound?

Zhang Feng watched Yizart and Hart blushing when they asked the two guests who came from afar. They come to ask such idiotic questions, obviously just to look good at each other.

Fred was very depressed, he thought for a while, and said: "After our air force's research, high-altitude and high-speed air combat in the future is outdated. Better maneuverability, better fire control radar and electronic equipment are more important. Although the MiG-25 flies high and fast, its comprehensive combat capability is not strong."

"Our fighter is not only advanced in performance, but also very easy to maintain. At the beginning of the design, maintenance was placed in an important position. For example, with the help of the operating console, a new one can be replaced in 10 minutes. The engine has more than 20 openings for maintenance, which is very convenient. We know that the sky in the Middle East is very windy and sandy. It is said that legal fighters are not suitable for this place. Our fighters can definitely meet the high attendance rate.” Ka Shin said.

"You mean, if this kind of fighter jet breaks down, it's very easy to repair?" Izzat said, "My car imported from the Soviet Union always breaks down. Every time it breaks down, it's not easy to repair." .”

Fred and Kashin were extremely upset. Why did these two top commanders of the Southern Military Region speak so awkwardly when they said these words?

"Your Excellency Qusay, our fighter jet is very suitable for the Iraqi army." Fred decided to go straight to the point and sell it directly to His Excellency Qusay.

Zhang Feng said calmly: "Your fighter jet is numbered F-20 Tiger Shark. I like it very much, but I heard that the U.S. Air Force has not equipped it yet?"

If what Izzat and Hart said just now were layman's words, although it sounds uncomfortable, it is irrelevant, but Zhang Feng's words completely opened up each other's scars.

If the U.S. Air Force is equipped, why do we have to travel so far to this place full of yellow sand?And to be asked such boring questions by these two high-level personnel who don't understand fighter jets at all!However, it is very necessary to ask this question, and I have to patiently explain it to the other party.

"Our fighter jet is specially developed for export and is aimed at the export market. Our air force has not participated in the development of this fighter jet. Therefore, our air force has no equipment. This does not mean that the performance of our fighter jet is not good. ’” explained Fred.

Chapter 121 Imported production line?

Chapter 121 Imported production line? ——

"That is to say, no matter what country this fighter jet is exported to, it will not leak secrets to the U.S. Air Force?" Zhang Feng asked.

Fred and Kashin looked at each other, wondering what Zhang Feng meant by that.

"In principle, it is so, but, as you know, it is impossible for us to export fighter jets to certain countries." Fred said.

"Like the Soviet Union?" Zhang Feng said.

Both sides laughed, the United States exported fighter jets to the Soviet Union?No matter who you listen to, it will be a joke.

"That is to say, there shouldn't be any problem with exporting this fighter jet to our country?" Zhang Feng asked.

"Of course, President Reagan has signed the document, and there is no problem with the export of this fighter," Kashin said.

"So, what about the production line?" Zhang Feng asked.

Hearing this, Fred, who was still smiling just now, was suddenly dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, the other party would actually make such a request!

"Your Excellency Qusay, the United States has never exported fighter jets before exporting a production line. Are you joking? Even Israel has never exported a production line," Kashin said.

After saying this, he obviously felt that he had said something wrong, and he didn't know how to correct it, so his face flushed immediately.

"You're right." Zhang Feng said, "If we were Israel, we would never make such a request. Even if the US bans the export of fighter jets to Israel, it will be released soon."

Fred knew that what Zhang Feng was talking about was that after Israel blatantly bombed the Iraqi nuclear reactor, the United States made a statement prohibiting the export of various weapons and spare parts to Israel. However, this policy was not implemented for two months, and the domestic The Jewish power opened up the relationship and did not affect any actions of Israel.

This involves many complex economic and political issues. Fred does not want to, nor is he willing to understand too much. In the United States, Jewish power is a very powerful force, and they occupy an important role in the American economy. Part of it also has a strong influence on the government.

"These are all government actions and have nothing to do with our company. Please don't doubt our company's sincerity." Fred said.

"Yes, I don't doubt the sincerity of your company, I just doubt the policies of your country's government." Zhang Feng said: "I know that in your country, there is a very powerful force, and this force is very hostile to Iraq. Powerful, and they have a very strong influence on your country's government."

Fred was shocked. He couldn't believe that the young man in front of him knew the situation in the United States so clearly.

"Now the United States has liberalized its fighter jet export policy, so we can negotiate various agreements. In the end, we will introduce advanced fighter jets like yours. However, it is not certain that one day, your country will once again issue a paper Policy, even if it is a screw that prohibits the export of fighter jets, our fighter jets will face the danger of being grounded." Zhang Feng said: "Your country's arms sales are often linked to politics. I don’t want to see the fighter jets that our country bought at a high price turn into a pile of scrap metal.”

This example has been seen too much by Zhang Feng in later generations. American planes are not sold to you casually. Whoever is his ally will sell them to you. After a while, you will not listen to him. , he will immediately implement a ban on the sale of weapons. Then, the weapons bought at a high price earlier cannot be used due to the lack of spare parts.

The arms sales embargo is a big stick held high by the United States.

Later generations of Pakistan bought f-16s from the United States, and after entering the nuclear club, the United States announced a ban on arms sales, which almost turned all these planes into scrap iron.Not to mention those in the distance, even nearby Iran has lost the parts supply from the Americans, and there are no more than [-] Tomcat fighter jets that can take off now.
