Babylonian Empire

If we say that Saddam Hussein's personality is brave, strong, stubborn, arrogant, and easy to get carried away, there is another characteristic, that is, he has a good face.

Iraq's air strike on Iran this time has won wide acclaim from the international community. It completely destroyed the evil country Iran's weapons of mass destruction. The existence of sarin has maintained the stability of the world. Iraq has really shown its face.

Of course, the senior officials of the Northern Military Region showed great surprise and admiration for the air strike organized by the Southern Military Region.

If this mission is entrusted to the Air Force of the Northern Military Region, it is absolutely impossible to be so clean and neat. A fighter plane will blow up all the targets without loss. The photos taken by the MiG-25R of the Northern Military Region show that they The attack is very accurate, which is simply a miracle. Looking at the entire Middle East, I am afraid that only the country listed above can do it.

Originally, in the Iraqi armed forces, the northern military region had always been the leader. However, since His Excellency Qusay went to the south, the southern military region has undergone earth-shaking changes.

They all know that the Southern Military Region has imported F-20 fighter jets from the United States. Is this fighter jet really so magical?Although the northern military region is equipped with the most "advanced" MiG-25 in Iraq, Mr. Qusay seems to have no regard for this fighter that can reach three times the speed of sound.

Dig some F-20s from the south?Air Force Commander Abed was moved.

In the Palace of the Republic, the celebration party for His Excellency Qusay is being held.

"Since Qusay arrived in the Southern Military Region, the Southern Military Region has been winning battles. The Susangild Swamp has killed the Iranian armored forces. Abadan, Khomeini Port, these important port cities have been taken by us. It has come down, especially Khomeini Port, which is named after that leader." Taha?Yassin?Ramadan first said: "This time, Qusay once again achieved a brilliant record, completely destroying the Iranians' chemical weapons production capacity, so that our army will not take the risk of chemical weapons when attacking, and let Huo Meny lost a killer weapon."

Every time he went back to Baghdad, Zhang Feng received different treatment, but it was the first time that such a grand and joyful scene like today, Zhang Feng knew that this time his father was very happy, and he was also very satisfied with himself.

In this case, why not add icing on the cake?

Zhang Feng said: "The Iranians dared to use chemical weapons against the disapproval of the world. Our Southern Military Region did this for the sake of stability in the Middle East."

Now they are holding guns and occupying Iranian land, and what they say here is for the sake of stability in the Middle East. I wonder if Khomeini would vomit blood with anger if he heard it.

However, if Khomeini heard what happened next, he might vomit blood.

"Now, our army has completely occupied Port Khomeini. This is a very important port. After we rebuild it, our military capabilities will be greatly enhanced. I propose to make this port the main base of our navy in the future, and , to change the name of this port to Saddam's port!"

When Saddam heard this, his eyes narrowed with joy. As a blood feud, being able to ravage Khomeini like this really made him happy.

However, he still did not relax. Will this port become the main naval base in the future?

"Our current navy doesn't seem to need such a large port?" Saddam said.

"Your Excellency, we are not yet capable of developing a navy. Our navy only has a few small gunboats. However, our navy will definitely develop greatly in the future. We have maritime trade lines that need us to protect. Not to mention, even in the Persian Gulf, our oil tankers also need naval protection." Zhang Feng said.

Saddam Hussein is the idea of ​​the Continental Army, and he has never paid much attention to the Air Force, and even less to the Navy. Zhang Feng can only infiltrate it step by step, and gradually let him erect these concepts virtually.

Moreover, Zhang Feng knew that in the later period of the Iran-Iraq War, protracted ship raids would break out, and having a strong navy meant having great strength.

More importantly, if Iraq wants to become a big country, it must go out of the Persian Gulf, out of the Arabian Sea, and sail on the ocean. A powerful navy is even more indispensable!

Saddam nodded in agreement.

"Your Excellency Kusai, this time the F-20 fighter jets of your Southern Military Region are making a big splash, and the production line is already on track. Can some of the F-20 fighter jets that come out of the production line be configured for our Northern Military Region?" Abed asked.

Originally, Baghdad had the final say on weapons and equipment, but the current situation is slowly changing. From the beginning of negotiations, to raising funds, and introducing personnel, most of the F-20 was resolved by His Excellency Qusay himself.

Hearing this, Zhang Feng keenly sensed the meaning of the words, he created the fighter plane, but there was still a father above his head.

Fighter planes are also high-tech products in national defense, why would dad not want them?He knew that his current foundation was not stable, and he must not let his father feel dissatisfied and suspicious of him. After all, there is still that disabled brother. That person is not capable, but he is very good at playing tricks.

"Although the production line is in Basra, the aircraft produced are still allocated by the logistics department. The ten aircraft in the early stage are all test flights, so they were first deployed to our Southern Military Region. How to allocate the aircraft on the production line in the future? Arranged by the logistics department." Zhang Feng said generously.

If you produce your own planes and equip them all quietly in your own troops, then it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the old man. Coupled with the remarks of other caring people, there may be problems, so this time Zhang Feng came back, in fact I have an idea about this.

As for the C801 anti-ship missile, there is nothing to say, because the Southern Military Region is near the sea, and it is only natural that such missiles targeting warships should be assigned to the Southern Military Region.

As for the improvement of this missile, it is still top secret and not very successful. Zhang Feng has no plans to report it yet.

Although Zhang Feng said so, he knew that Dad would definitely not embarrass himself, otherwise, he would not let him operate alone from the beginning to the end. Dad's treasure is a MiG imported from the Soviet Union. Hearing what Zhang Feng said, Saddam was very happy. He thought for a while and asked, "Has your production line started production now?"

"It is still being debugged for the time being, and many parts have to be purchased from the United States temporarily. It is expected that the first one will leave the factory, at least two months later." Zhang Feng said, "It is expected that [-] will be produced next year. about."

The production of aircraft is not the production of automobiles. Aircraft are high-tech products, and the installation of various equipment requires a cycle.Especially in the initial stage, the running-in between workers and equipment also requires a process.

Hearing that only [-] planes were produced a year, Saddam had already lost interest: "We are talking with the Soviet Union about the introduction of another batch of fighter jets. This kind of light aircraft should be kept in the Southern Military Region for use!"

Since it has not experienced destructive wars, and the occupied Iranian land has oil exploration and refining processing, the Iraqi economy is still operating normally, and even has a lot of savings in foreign exchange reserves, unlike in later generations , has already started to borrow money everywhere.

In Saddam's eyes, it is still easy to buy out. He is not very interested in the light fighter.

When Abid heard this, he had no choice but to give up. Nowadays, in the Air Force, it has long been spread that the performance of the F-20 fighter jet is very powerful. F-14 can give it a go. Although he wants to equip it, President Saddam has said so, and he has no other way.

Import fighter jets from the Soviet Union?Zhang Feng was very disappointed in his heart. His father must have been fooled by the old man. What fighter jets can the current Soviet Union have?The MiG-29 has just been finalized and has not been equipped with troops, let alone the Su-27. The high-altitude and high-speed interceptor aircraft of the MiG-25 is simply not suitable for future air combat.

However, the fact that Soviet fighter jets are not good does not mean that the Soviet Union cannot do anything else. The Soviet Union still has good things, for example, the armored lion that makes the West talk about it!

Now, the best tank in the Iraqi army has to be the T-72. Although Zhang Feng has improved the 69 tank, it is only temporary.Now, the fighter side is on the right track, and he has already started to think about it.

If Iraq wants to become a big country, weapons must be based on its own production!As the king of land warfare, Iraq must have its own tank production line.

"Your Excellency the President." Zhang Feng said: "Now, we have occupied Port Khomeini. In front of our army, there are already those vast lands. If we want to continue to make progress, the armored corps is indispensable. Our In the Southern Military Region, until now, the tanks equipped by the armored corps are all kinds of tanks, and even the tanks captured by the Iranians are used. Our army should have a main battle tank suitable for our Middle East region."

Hearing his son's words, Saddam was very happy. Now that he has occupied the land of the Iranians, the second son's words mean that the Southern Military Region is preparing to continue to make progress. Remembering his dream of a great empire, he is now Little by little, Saddam was delighted and said, "Abdullah, do you want to equip a tank?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, our Southern Military Region is in great need of a main battle tank. If we import one from the Soviet Union..."

"Well, this matter, I will leave it to you to deal with it, and import it from the Soviet Union." Saddam said.

Unexpectedly, my father answered so readily. He wanted to say that he imported tank production lines from the Soviet Union, produced chassis, and then redesigned it with a new fire control system. My father must have thought it was a direct introduction. Since he didn't ask, then As if he agreed.

"National Day is coming soon, we will hold a military parade in Baghdad, Abdullah, you and I will attend!" Saddam said.

"Yes!" Zhang Feng knew that this was the old man announcing his status to everyone, and that crippled elder brother would probably be so angry.

Chapter 322 Military Parade

After leaving the conference hall and sitting in the car, Zhang Feng's thoughts kept fluctuating. When he came back this time, his father asked him to participate in the military parade and stood beside him. Stand as successor.

It can be said that I have been fighting on the front line for more than a year, and I have made various contributions to Iraq. I deserve to be able to have the current status, but will my brother really be willing to give up?Will he come up with something to deal with himself?

When he came back this time, his protection measures were stricter than last time. In addition to the last incident, Uday was already under surveillance. It was simply impossible to plan an assassination incident against him.

Also, why did Dad mention the Soviet Union several times?He was so happy when he said it was imported from the Soviet Union?

"Uncle, am I getting closer to the United States?" Zhang Feng said, looking at Izzat beside him.

This meeting, as well as attending the military parade, are all for Izzat, so he returned to Baghdad with Zhang Feng.

Although Zhang Feng is very good at military affairs, sometimes he can't see the essence of the problem clearly in politics, and he is also working hard to improve his ability.

"It's not that we are getting closer to the United States, but we are farther away from the Soviet Union." Izzat said.

Far from the Soviet Union?Zhang Feng was puzzled.

"Your Excellency the President is a person with lofty aspirations. If we want to rise in Iraq, we must take advantage of the situation." Izzat said: "Our relationship with the Soviet Union is very close, and we have imported a large amount of weapons from the Soviet Union. In fact, Your Excellency the President also wants to The relationship with the United States is getting closer, but we can’t find too many opportunities. Khomeini gave us this opportunity, and you played a very important role. With your efforts, our relationship with the United States has further developed development of."
