Babylonian Empire

Afterwards, he reported the situation to His Excellency Qusay.

Zhang Feng felt a little headache when he received the report.

The people of Israel have always been very good at fighting. It is very good to have such a result when your own special forces meet the opponent's special forces. As long as there is war, there will be casualties. War has always been Very brutal.

As for Hades, he is very bloody. If he comes back obediently this time, it will not suit his style.

However, after returning, he must be repaired and repaired. Disobedience on the battlefield is not a good thing.

Iraq's military strength is also very tense, so it is impossible to send troops to the past like the previous Middle East wars. However, a small group of special forces is still no problem.

The solution to the Lebanon issue is not primarily military, but political.And these are the shortcomings of Zhang Feng, who was born in the special forces, so he knew that he must think clearly.

Who knows, what happened next was that his father sent a plane to intercept the US Navy fighter plane. The United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait all remained silent. Only Iraq did such a big thing.

Zhang Feng knew that it was time for him to talk to his father. What worried him most was the series of reactions caused by this incident. Will the Americans retaliate?You know, with Iraq's current level, it's the same in the Iran-Iraq war. If you fight against the United States, there is no chance of winning. Just one round of air strikes by the United States can push Iraq back ten years.

When he came to Baghdad, Zhang Feng saw Saddam Hussein again who was happy.

"Father, this time I went to Saudi Arabia and met Prince Fahd, the crown prince. We are working together to reduce oil production to resist Western countries' support for Israel, which is in progress." Zhang Feng said.

Saddam knew all of this. Although Chalabi reluctantly cut oil production, everything was going on.

"Western countries seem to be in a hurry this time," Saddam said. "Especially the United States, who dared to send a plane and flew into the Persian Gulf. He thought that we are so easy to bully? This time it gave them a lesson!"

"Father, you are very wise to do this!" Although Zhang Feng had already scolded himself for his inaccurate judgment of the situation in his heart, in later generations, when he invaded Kuwait on a large scale, he was extremely contemptuous of the Americans, thinking that they would not participate in the war , As a result, Iraq's nightmarish national fortunes began at that time.

However, Zhang Feng knew that he must not embarrass his father, and he couldn't say some things directly.

"The Americans thought we didn't dare to do anything to their planes, so I just intercepted them, what would they dare to do?" Saddam said to himself: "Sadat didn't dare to do anything to the Americans, but I dared to do anything to them." , Let’s see what the Americans can do to us! Leaders in the Middle East must have this kind of momentum!”

"Father, you are very courageous, but if the Americans really come, what should we do?" Zhang Feng asked.

"The Americans are really here?" Saddam smiled and said to Zhang Feng: "How can you be sure that the Americans will definitely come?"

"I just thought that the Americans would definitely not be reconciled to this failure. They would definitely regard this interception as a shame, and they would definitely not be reconciled if they don't get it back," Zhang Feng said.

Americans really come?Saddam was not too nervous: "Don't worry! The Americans won't come, they won't come because of such a small incident."

"Why?" Zhang Feng still didn't understand.

Saddam looked at his son. Although he is a genius in war, he still needs to be cultivated in politics!

"Because, some people will disagree."

"Who?"

"Soviets?"

Zhang Feng suddenly realized that his father had such a purpose.

Does he want to fall into the arms of the Soviet Union?

Zhang Feng knew that Saddam Hussein's autonomy was very strong. Although the relationship with the Soviet Union was very close, he did not want to become a vassal of the Soviet Union. output, but only limited to around the air force base.

"The enemy of the Americans should be the Soviets. They will not use all their strength to attack us just because I did it to them. The Americans will not do this." Saddam said: "Don't worry Bar!"

It was definitely not on Saddam's whim to dispatch a fighter plane. He had already made the calculations, and the Americans dared not!

However, Zhang Feng is not so confident. Although there is the Soviet Union, Iraq is still a soft persimmon for the United States, and it can be pinched as it wants.

Besides, the Soviets are deeply mired in the quagmire of Afghanistan, and I am afraid they are unable to manage the affairs of the Middle East.

No matter how small a tiger is, it is still a tiger, and it will eat people at any time.

At this moment, the phone rang, and Saddam picked up the phone, and heard the voice of Minister of Defense Hailala on the phone: "Your Excellency, the United States has dispatched another aircraft carrier formation in the Mediterranean Sea, approaching Lebanon. Already!"

The United States' Kennedy aircraft carrier formation wandering in the Atlantic Ocean entered the Mediterranean Sea.

In the final stage of the negotiation, President Reagan finally made a decision. In order not to force Iraq to the side of the Soviet Union, the aid to Israel should be temporarily suspended. However, if this is the only way, the military will appear to be too incompetent.Therefore, while taking this step back, we are also taking another step forward, allowing another aircraft carrier battle group to enter the Mediterranean Sea for deterrence.

You know, here, across Jordan and Israel, the Iraqi air force should not come out again, right?And here, the troops stationed in various parts of the United States are very powerful.

Being able to make this step, they have actually made quite a concession, but they did not expect that a new crisis would occur by a coincidence.

Chapter 374 France wants to withdraw

What is the United States doing in the Mediterranean?Could it be to cheer up Israel?

From this moment on, Zhang Feng was also confused. It seems that this action of his father really stimulated the Americans!Unexpectedly, during the Cold War with the Soviet Union, the United States was really black when it started to fight.

Could it be that they really want to use force to resolve the threat in the Middle East?After all, oil is also very attractive to the United States, but Yankees shouldn't be so stupid, right?

Upon receiving the news, President Saddam did not take it seriously at all: "It is none of our business for the Americans to come to the Mediterranean Sea. If they want to come, let them come! As long as it is close to our border, we must resolutely fight back."

Saddam is actually a Continentalist. He never thought that the aircraft carrier went to the Mediterranean Sea to threaten this place, because the Mediterranean Sea and Iraq are still separated by Jordan and Israel.

It is completely different from the last time I came to the Persian Gulf.

Zhang Feng was horrified when he heard that, two aircraft carrier formations, more than 100 fighters, one attack could kill all the important targets in Iraq, this is different from Iran's air strikes, the United States, that is a world-class army.

However, the other party came from the Mediterranean Sea, not the Arabian Sea. Could it be that the Americans are really just bluffing?

After leaving the Palace of the Republic, Zhang Feng was still in deep thought. Under the protection of the bodyguards he brought, he returned to his temporary residence and received news that the French ambassador to Iraq was coming to visit him.

French?Zhang Feng still agrees with the French, and he agreed to the meeting.

Zhang Feng met the diplomat in a room that had been carefully checked without any bugging equipment.

"Your Excellency Qusay, your brilliance shines on the entire Middle East, and I have long wanted to meet you, the Eagle of the Middle East. Unfortunately, your time in Baghdad is very short, and we have no chance to meet each other!" Ambassador Bursico said.As a diplomat stationed in the Middle East, Bursico can speak fluent Arabic.

"Mr. Ambassador, you are welcome. What can you do?" Zhang Feng asked.This kind of diplomatic words can be said as much as you like, but Zhang Feng knows that he doesn't have much time, and he has to deal with the special forces deployed to Lebanon.

Therefore, Zhang Feng is very straightforward, he can say what he has to say, I am still busy.

Boursico was a little surprised. He couldn't just say directly, I came this time to say, let's lift the oil embargo against us. I'm afraid our country's economy will collapse if it continues like this?

France is a country with a highly developed economy. At the same time, it also relies heavily on foreign oil, especially the Middle East countries.

However, since the Khomeini revolution, Western countries have stopped importing oil from Iran, and instead imported from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Iraq, the share of imports has reached more than 70.00% of the total, especially Iraq, many weapons imported by Iraq, For example, Mirage F1 fighter jets, part of the settlement is offset by oil imports.

France has also signed many oil import agreements with Iraq, but now, because of the indignation in the Arab world aroused by Israel's attack on Lebanon, it has led to oil production cuts and an embargo, and France has suffered greatly.

The French are the most sophisticated, and since France withdrew from NATO in 1966, France has been very active internationally. In the gap between the arms exports of the United States and the Soviet Union, French military enterprises have developed greatly, and France attaches the most importance to it. Yes, it is a real benefit.

"Your Excellency Qusay," Bursico said, "From our point of view, we have a very close relationship with His Excellency Qusay, especially since His Excellency Qusay chose our Exocet missile to attack the Iranians. It played a big role in the war, and we are friends."

"Friend?" Zhang Feng said, "What about my flying fish missiles? Why didn't they supply me with them later? Why do you still want to check my inventory?"
