Babylonian Empire

After staying in Basra for two short days, Zhang Feng rushed back to Baghdad to report his achievements to the President.

In the spacious office of the Liberty Palace, Zhang Feng met the president and his father, Saddam Hussein again.

Seeing Zhang Feng, Saddam stood up, looked at Zhang Feng for a while, and said, "Qusay, I heard that there was an accident on the way this time, are you not injured?"

Zhang Feng was shocked. He was ambushed by the Israelis on his way home this time. He didn't want to alarm his father. He didn't expect that he got the news so accurately. It seems that in the future, he must strictly enforce the secrecy regulations in his army, but , Kuwait TV has already exposed it, and Dad may have learned about it through other channels.

"No injuries, just a few soldiers died." Zhang Feng said: "However, our trip has achieved good results. The emir agreed to our proposal this time. I am currently stepping up planning. The refinery will be completed in two months. We can start work, and then we will have enough foreign exchange to buy weapons."

Saddam nodded: "Well, our struggle against the Persians has won the support of many Arab brothers, and Jaber is our good brother."

Zhang Feng looked at Saddam's face, it was a sincere smile from the heart, but Zhang Feng also knew that Saddam was just a current favor, and later, he turned his face very quickly.

"You did a good job this time, Qusay. Because of the war, our economic income has decreased, and we urgently need a new source of funds. With the production of the oil refinery, we will have a solid backing to continue this war."

"Father, I have another matter to report to you." Zhang Feng saw that the time was right, and started to mention the f-20 with Saddam.

"Speak, Qusay."

"Our great Iraqi Republic must have an eagle to defend its sky. Any enemy who comes to invade will be resolutely and severely attacked by us." Zhang Feng first sang a high-profile, he knew that Saddam Hussein liked this kind of Passionate people.

Sure enough, Saddam said: "Yes, we are the descendants of the great prophet, the blood of our ancestors flows on our bodies, and our airspace is sacred and inviolable."

"So, I think we should have a main air superiority fighter. This kind of fighter needs to have advanced radars, advanced missiles, and more importantly, we can produce it ourselves!"

Can you produce it yourself?When Saddam heard the last sentence, he felt that his youngest son seemed to have some brilliant ideas.

You know, in Iraq today, even cars cannot be produced, and it is simply impossible to produce a fighter jet.

"Recently, the Northrop Corporation of the United States came to Iraq to sell their fighter jets," Zhang Feng said.

Selling fighter jets?This is the first time Saddam has heard of this word, American fighter jets, do you still need to sell them?That is, there is a price but no market. Iraq wants to buy it, but it still can’t buy it. Otherwise, which one is not a well-known aircraft, F-15 or F-16?Israel dared to bomb its own nuclear reactor, didn't it just use these two types of aircraft?

"The f-20 fighter jet produced by their company is a fighter jet designed for export, and there is no equipment in China." Zhang Feng began to introduce: "So, I want to negotiate with them to introduce the production line. In our country, we can produce these fighter jets ourselves. A fighter."

Introducing a production line?Saddam shook his head: "Qusay, your idea is indeed very good, but if we can buy it, we can just buy it directly. Why do we need to buy a production line? That would be too troublesome."

"Father, we must introduce the production line, otherwise, the Iranian Tomcat is a living example." Zhang Feng said: "If we only import fighter jets, then the Americans only need a ban to make our Airplanes are turned into scrap metal."

Zhang Feng knew that he had reached the most critical point now, and he had to convince his father to agree with his suggestion. He still had many ideas, and he needed to be convinced.

At this moment, Zhang Feng suddenly had a strange idea. If he sat in that seat, he would definitely make Iraq stronger quickly. Saddam is a shrewd politician, but not a qualified military officer. He is not as broad-sighted as his own, nor is he clear about what kind of war a modern war is.

Chapter 124 Convincing Saddam Hussein ([-])

Chapter 124 Convincing Saddam Hussein ([-])——

The Iranian tomcat is a living example. This sentence completely moved Saddam. "Search to see the fastest"

Being able to climb to the highest peak of power, Saddam is naturally not a fool. He knows that if it is not for the American ban, the Iranian Tomcats can fully exert their power, and these air forces of his own are not opponents at all.

The weapons imported from the Soviet Union are all shrunk. Even the most advanced MiG-25 can't take advantage of the Iranian Tomcat.

If it is possible to introduce production lines and produce fighter jets by itself, this will be very helpful to Iraq’s dream of becoming a great power. For example, the fighter jets produced by itself can be exported to countries in the Middle East that are friendly to itself and maintain a solid alliance. Just like the Soviet Union exported weapons to the Warsaw Pact countries.

Zhang Feng didn't know that Saddam Hussein was a mature politician, and when he thought about problems, he could always see one step further than him. When Zhang Feng was still thinking about importing production lines and making fighter jets localized, Saddam had already thought of it. exported.

However, is it appropriate to introduce American-made fighter jets?Saddam asked: "Our current equipment system is all Soviet-made and legal-made. Can American-made fighter jets be integrated into our existing system? Also, our country can summon so many skilled fighters. A skilled worker?"

"Father, the key is whether you can make up your mind. As long as we take the first step firmly, then the second step and the third step will all go out. I believe that as long as we are determined, we will be able to succeed. We must not only To achieve our own production of fighter jets, our tanks, and artillery, we must also produce our own. A military power must rely on buying equipment. It!" Zhang Feng said loudly.

The words just now obviously moved Saddam, and Zhang Feng knew about Saddam's ambition, to be a big country, a big country that dominates the Middle East, and to be the leader of the Arab world!

Now, even the leader of the Arab world, Egypt, does not have a complete military industrial system. All weapons are Soviet-style. Moreover, because of the unilateral peace talks with Israel, although Egypt has taken back the ownership of the Sinai Peninsula Right, and will withdraw troops from the Sinai Peninsula next year, and because of their behavior, Egypt is no longer such a big brother in the Arab world.To be the leader of the Arab world has a great attraction for Saddam Hussein.

However, is it so easy to produce fighter jets by yourself?Regardless of whether the negotiation is successful or not, even if the negotiation is successful, it is impossible for all employees to hire foreigners, right?And can the natives operate those advanced processing equipment?

Saddam's worries are not unreasonable, but these are all practical problems. Zhang Feng believes that as long as he is willing to work hard, there will be a solution.Skilled technical workers can recruit some people with higher education from their own countries. For example, in Iraq, most of those who have gone to middle school are still illiterate, and strict training can solve the problem.

If you want to be a big country, you must be an industrialized country, you must have a complete weapon development and production system, and you must fight wars. You must not look at other people's faces!

"Father, I believe that as long as we have confidence and courage, even if it doesn't work for five years, then ten years. In short, Iraq must have its own weapons industry, we must have our own tanks, our own aircraft, and we must not blindly A strong national defense is not bought, even if the Soviet Union, which has the strongest relationship with us, does not provide us with shrinking weapons?" Zhang Feng continued.

Saddam was full of thoughts. His son was indeed right. The MiG-25, which the Soviets believed to be an advanced fighter, was bought by himself with great effort. The ground handling and maintenance work of the aircraft was done by Soviet consultants, and even at the beginning, they were still driven by Soviet consultants. However, this kind of fighter jet cannot compete with the Iranian Tomcat at all.

Weapons are the powerful pillar of Iraq, and they must not be strangled by others.

Saddam finally made up his mind, "Okay, I agree with your plan to buy an American production line, but how likely is it to introduce this production line?"

"The highest possibility will not exceed 50.00%." ​​Zhang Feng said: "The production line of this kind of fighter is imported from the United States. Although it is said that this kind of fighter is exported, the United States is also very wary of us. Moreover, The Jewish forces in the United States will definitely interfere indiscriminately."

Saddam suddenly laughed. He had made such a big determination just now and finally agreed. Now, what Qusay said, this matter may not be possible!

"In addition to the United States, we have another choice, which is France." Zhang Feng continued: "We can negotiate with France, or put some pressure on the Yankees, otherwise, these people will definitely make all kinds of embarrassing things for us. conditions, we went to France and told the Americans virtually that they are not the only ones who can provide us with production lines.”

French?It is also a good choice. In Iraq’s arsenal, there are many legal-made weapons. Although they are more expensive than Soviet-made weapons, the quality is indeed inferior. If there is one aircraft equipped in Iraq that can compete head-on with the Tomcat , then it is not the newly introduced legal Phantom F1.

"Father, if you agree, I would like to go to France in the near future to inspect the French military industry and discuss the possible introduction of production lines with them," Zhang Feng said.

"However, you should also know that we can't come up with any money now." Saddam said: "After the refinery starts, our finances will be able to support the funds introduced."

In this way, it was exactly what he wanted, Zhang Feng said: "Father, I have been working hard now, the refinery should be able to start operation in two months, and our introduction of the production line is definitely not something that can be negotiated soon. When we pay, we will definitely be able to come up with the money, and if we can’t come up with it by then, the two neighbors, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, are willing to guarantee us and we can pay the bill later.”

"The war we are fighting now is to resist the infiltration of the Arab world for the entire Arab world. It is entirely appropriate for them to help me." Saddam said: "I am very happy to hear this news."

Zhang Feng was taken aback. It was not a good sign for him to say that. Not only did he not appreciate others helping him, but he thought it was right?

It seems that any history has all kinds of inevitability!Please remember the URL, if you like "Babylonian Empire" written by Huadongzhixiong

Chapter 125 Uday's Assassination

Chapter 125 The Assassination of Uday——

Walking out of Saddam's office and the Palace of the Republic, Zhang Feng was still happy to be able to persuade Saddam, but there was a faint unease in his mind. "Search to see the fastest"

Sitting in his own car, with the windows open and fresh air blowing in, Zhang Feng's thoughts began to clear up.

When I was talking with my father just now, my father asked myself if I had an accident in Kuwait and whether I was injured. Then, my father must have known about my every move through some channel.Is it Kuwaiti TV?Probably not, where does Dad have so much time to watch the news, besides, Dad doesn't know when he came back, so how could he get involved with himself?

In other words, by my side, there must be my father's eyeliner. Who is this person?

Although Zhang Feng knows that so far, he has not done anything out of line, and he has not done anything to offend his father. He is all for the benefit of Iraq, but this feeling of being watched is very not good.

Dad must have a powerful intelligence agency!And the person ambushing by his side must be someone from this intelligence agency.

Instinctively, Zhang Feng was unwilling to doubt the Rattlesnake Special Forces that he had built up, but he knew that if there really was an inner ghost, this person was probably in his Special Forces.
