() Leaving the command room, Canglong soon came to the hangar, at this time there were already three planes, two J-7M and one Canglong, with a few people to inspect the maintenance personnel of the hangar, of course, not as thick and rigorous as imagined, and the so-called aviation brigade that was just established half an hour ago is now only a dozen people

Among them, there are several experts of the Russian military, although this is just an F16C, but in history, the Russian side has never obtained such a complete machine, for the technical department, if you can take it back to study, maybe you can find out the weakness of counterbalancing F16

Moreover, the F16 fighter is second only to the existence of the fourth-generation fighter, and it is also the most advanced third-generation fighter

After the Russian intelligence department got the news, they immediately contacted General Badr and wanted to secretly transport the plane to Russia for research, but Badr had no right to be directly vetoed by Canglong after consulting Canglong's opinion

Even if the Russians proposed to exchange their most advanced MiG fighters and Soviet-style fighters for Canglong, they would not be birded at all, after all, the technology of the Americans is much stronger than that of the Russians.16 The Fighting Falcon is prominent, and it is definitely the main fighter of the US Air Force in modern times, how can Canglong make such a cheap deal for the Russians

Of course, Canglong did not give them a chance, and if the Russian experts wanted to study it, they could also put the plane in Basra, and they could send experts over to conduct joint research with Basra

However, after this request was put forward, the Russian side did not agree, although the current soldiers of Basra have combat effectiveness, but they are not good at technical literacy, mainly because their chemical skills are too low, but Canglong does not expect a country that has been in a state of war to have any high-quality talents

Therefore, the Russian side decided that Canglong wanted Russian technical experts to teach Basra technical experts, just like China in the past, and honestly followed Russia to learn technology, and in the future, China did not need to learn Russian technology, and even surpassed Russia in some aspects

With Basra's potential, once it grows, enough oil alone will be enough for Basra to have no shortage of money to conduct research, so although Russia is cooperating with Basra, it is reluctant to export technology to Basra

Since the two sides can't get along, there is no way, and Canglong can't find any good way to study this fighter, this kind of thing is not something that can be imitated by getting a complete machine, and there are many technical difficulties, for example, China has obtained many Russian fighters, and they are all complete aircraft, but China cannot immediately imitate a fighter with excellent performance

Until now, the engines in China's fighter jets are still the weakness of the Chinese Air Force, so even if Canglong has a complete plane, it is useless, at most, it is used for military training and even familiarization with fighters, even if this aircraft is handed over to Russia or China now, it may not be able to imitate it, at most, it is to learn from some of the technologies in it and develop it slowly

There were only three pilots in Basra, the first was Bai Wuchang, the second was naturally Canglong, and the third was the renegade Aziz, the former zhèng fǔ army, who did not expect that Basra was completely different from what he imagined, and even at some point he even thought that here he might suffer the treatment of Saddam

After all, he is a soldier who has defected twice, the first time he betrayed Saddam, the second time he rebelled against him, and no commander would give trust to such a soldier

But he didn't expect that when he came to Basra, he entered the core base as soon as he arrived, and was treated with the highest treatment, and even when he walked around the base, no one was watching him at all, as if he was here

The "Prophet" was all in one voice

Aziz glanced at the prophet with surprise on his face, but he nervous a little as the prophet's gaze fell on him

"Allah's blessing is upon you," Canglong said with a divine face

"Allah is great," everyone replied at the same time

Canglong nodded, walked up to Aziz, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I now appoint you as the deputy captain of the aviation brigade to assist Bai Wuchang in training the air force."

Aziz was stunned for a moment, then nodded excitedly, and was about to say something, Canglong left with people, Bai Wuchang stayed in place, and looked at Aziz with a bitter expression: "You really think this is a good errand."

Aziz asked inexplicably: "When Basra forms an air force, will the missile unit cooperate soon, sir, is there anything wrong with this?"

"Fart, the formation of the air force is a target at best, this time is mainly to expand the army, most of the military funds are used on missile brigades, you really when he formed an aviation brigade, he came out to make a powerful air force," Bai Wuchang looked sarcastic, "And don't call me sir, except for seeing the head, we don't have this set here"

Aziz nodded: "Then what do I call you?"

"Bai Wuchang, old and white, you can," said Bai Wuchang, with a look of disgrace, "Of course, you can call me by my real name, Muhammad."

"You Russian called Mohammed," Aziz couldn't believe it

"What's wrong with the Russians, I also believe in Islam, the Russians can't be called Muhammad," Bai Wuchang asked rhetorically

Aziz nodded helplessly and said, "Why do you say that our formation of an aviation brigade is just a target?"

"In a country like Iraq, which has no strategic depth, what role can the air force do, and besides, we only have a small area like Basra, and you say that if you spend a lot of money to build an air force, if there is a war, who will be the first target of the US military," Bai Wuchang said

Aziz thought for a moment and his face changed: "Air Force"

"That's right, I'm afraid that before we take off, it is estimated that other people's missiles will blow up the airport, do you think that spending money is a thankless thing, will our great prophet do it" Bai Wuchang still looked sarcastic, and before he could answer, he said: "Not only will he not be able to do it, but he is also very good, he doesn't need any air force and navy, he only needs to have missile troops, it is enough to get a few hundred sets of anti-aircraft missiles, what can the American planes do with us, as for the rest of the targets."

Aziz nodded, of course, the most powerful air power in the world is the United States, and the matter of fighting for air supremacy is basically useless, thinking that he has also trained jointly with the US military for so long, and knows how strong the US Air Force is, but after learning the news, Aziz's face was a little gloomy, because he felt that he had no place to use it, and he thought that it would play a big role after coming to Basra

Bai Wuchang seemed to see what he was thinking, and said: "Don't worry about our head, your prophet has no other merits, but once he trusts you, he won't be suspicious that you follow him, we have a war, as for the problem of the air force, it is indeed not the right time to form it now, but it does not mean that we can't attack, I think I must have my own abacus in my heart."

Aziz nodded vigorously, hope rising on his face

At the same time, Canglong came to Su Su's base intelligence agency, and saw that the personnel inside were working, Canglong didn't bother, but just called Su Su aside and asked, "There has really been no movement on the American side recently."

"According to the information provided by our intelligence officers in Baghdad, the Americans have indeed knocked out their blood teeth and swallowed them in their stomachs, and they are even avoiding our missile units and not missile brigades," Su Su seemed to realize something, and changed his words

"It's strange, Natasha is not this style, no matter how you say it, you should have sent special forces over to blow up this F16C, why didn't it move," Canglong touched his chin and frowned

"It's true that there is no movement, we have not received any news of any movement of the Americans in the intelligence network in Basra, they are all under our surveillance, and it is impossible to make any small moves, I don't know," Su Su said confidently, the intelligence agency has always been a dú lì department, and it is also the first few departments to be established

At that time, Su Su's department was not called the Intelligence Bureau, but a simple intelligence department, with a scale of less than a dozen people, until later, with the increasing influence of the Prophet Army, Su Su established institutions in the militia and the Women's Army, and almost all the militias and the Women's Army were the eyes and ears of the Intelligence Agency

Especially after the people's faith in the Prophet reached a deep level under the hype, they could not tolerate other countries to spy and destroy the prosperity of the place

This has a bit of a North Korean flavor, but the difference in Basra is that people's beliefs are not coercive, but based on the provision of living standards and religion, so this kind of faith is much more reliable than the repressive rule of North Korea, at least now, if you shout a zhèng fǔ in Basra, it is estimated that the people of Basra may immediately arrest the person who created the rumors, beat him violently, and immediately notify the intelligence department

"Recently, however, we have received information that the U.S. military has largely cleared the Mehdi Army guerrilla threat, and the Kurdish alliance in the far north seems to have calmed down, and the Kurds have been pacified by the Americans, so the Zhōng Yāngzhèng Fǔ is now preparing to march into the four central provinces to deal with the Baath remnants," Su said

"Oh, it looks like she's determined to endure it," Canglong frowned, "we can't sit idly by like this, and when Natasha solves the remnants of the Ba'ath Party, we will be embattled, so we have to talk to the Ba'ath Party now, at least let them drag on for a year or two."

"One or two years," Su Su shook his head and sneered, "It's not that I look down on them, although most of the remnants of the Baath Party are members of the former Saddam Hussein's Republican Guard, but I think it's very good that they can last a month, although the Iranians support them behind their backs, but the US-Iranian coalition is not vegetarian."

"So we have to support them in the back, at least contain the U.S. Air Force," Canglong said, "By the way, didn't they take the initiative to contact us?"

"Yes, yes, but the attitude is very arrogant," Su Su frowned, "even a little bit of a desire to fight with us, the remnants of the Baath Party are Saddam's personal followers, they think that everything in Iraq is theirs, our Prophet Army is just a rebellion, so I simply expelled them"

"Oh," Canglong frowned, "you didn't beat them"

"No," Su Su shook his head, "After all, you have to take care of the relationship between the two parties."

"Next time there is such a thing, even if you beat him to death, he will be beaten until his parents don't know him," Canglong said calmly

Su Su was speechless and nodded
