Leaving the command room, Canglong soon came to the hangar, at this time there were already three planes, two J-7M and one F16C, Canglong took a few people to inspect the maintenance personnel of the hangar, of course, it was not as heavy 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 the Russian military has never obtained such a complete machine in history, for the technical department, if it can be taken back to study, maybe it will be able to find out the weakness of counterbalancing the 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, wanting to secretly transport the plane to Russia for research, but Badr had no right, and after consulting Canglong's opinion, he was directly vetoed by Canglong.

Even if the Russians proposed to exchange their most advanced MiG fighters and Soviet-style fighters, Canglong did not bird them at all, after all, the technology of the Americans is much stronger than that of the Russians, and the F16 Fighting Falcon is prominent for a while, and it is definitely the main fighter of the US Air Force in contemporary times, how can Canglong make such a cheap deal for the Russians?

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

However, after this request was made, the Russian military did not agree, although the current soldiers of Basra have combat effectiveness, but in terms of technical literacy, they are not good, mainly because the cultural foundation is 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 military decided that Canglong wanted Russian technologists to teach Basra technologists, just like China in the past, honestly following Russia to learn technology, and later China did not need to learn Russian technology, and even surpassed Russia in some aspects.

With the potential of Basra, once it grows in the future, enough oil alone will be enough for Basra to have no shortage of money for research, so although Russia is cooperating with Basra, it is unwilling to export technology to Basra.

The two sides discussed, since they couldn't talk, there was no way, and Canglong couldn't find any good way to study this F16C, the fighter is not a complete machine, it can be imitated, and there are many technical problems, for example, China has obtained many Russian fighters, and they are all complete aircraft, but China cannot immediately imitate fighters 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 whole plane, it is useless, at most it is used for military training, and even familiar with fighters.

There are only three pilots in Basra, the first is Bai Impermanence, the second is naturally Canglong, and the third is the mutinous Aziz, this former government army 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 defected to Saddam Hussein, and the second time he defected to the new government, and no single commander will 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 came to it, and he was treated the highest level, and even when he walked around the base, no one monitored him at all, as if he was the person here.

"Prophet." Everyone spoke in unison, respectfully.

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

"Allah's blessings be upon you." Canglong said with a divine face.

"Allah is great." Everyone replied at the same time.

Canglong nodded, walked up to Aziz and froze, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I now appoint you as the deputy captain of the aviation brigade to assist Bai Wuchang and train 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, looking at Aziz with a bitter face: "You really think this is a good errand." ”

Aziz didn't know why, and asked: "When Basra forms an air force, will the missile units cooperate soon?" Sir, is there anything wrong with that? ”

"Fart, forming an air force is a target at best, the first time this time is mainly to expand the army, most of the military funds are spent on missile brigades, do you really want to form an aviation brigade to make a strong air force?" Bai Wuchang looked sarcastic, "Also, don't call me chief in the future, except for seeing the head, we don't do this here." ”

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

"White impermanence, old white, it's okay." Saying that, Bai Wuchang looked unflattering, "Of course, it's okay for you to call me by my real name, Muhammad." ”

"You? A Russian, named Mohammed? Aziz couldn't believe it.

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

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

"What is the role of the Air Force in a country like Iraq, which has no strategic depth? 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, in the event of 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 people's missiles will blow up to the airport, do you think that spending money is a thankless thing, will our great prophet do it?" Bai Wuchang still looked sarcastic, and without waiting for him to answer, he said, "Not only does he not know how to do it, but he is also very shrewd, he doesn't need any air force or navy, he only needs to have missile units, get a few hundred sets of anti-aircraft missiles, what can the American planes do with us?" As for the rest, it's all targets. ”

Aziz nodded, of course, the most powerful air force in the world is the United States, and he basically doesn't want to think about the fight for air supremacy, he has also been training with the US military for so long, and he knows what the strength of the US Air Force is, but after learning the news, Aziz's face was a little gloomy, because he felt that he was useless again, and he thought that after coming to Basra, it would play a big role.

Bai Wuchang seemed to see what he was thinking, and said: "Don't worry, our head, your prophet has no other merits, but once he trusts you, he will not doubt you, and with him we are fighting, 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 the head must have his own calculation in the bottom of my heart." ”

Aziz nodded vigorously, hope rising on his face.

At the same time, Canglong came to Su Su's base intelligence office, and watched the personnel inside work, Canglong didn't bother, just called Su Su aside and asked, "There has really been no movement on the Americans' side recently?" ”

"No, according to the information provided by our intelligence officers in Baghdad, the Americans did knock out their blood teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, and even avoided our missile units, not missile brigades." Su Su seemed to realize something, and changed his words again.

"It's strange, Natasha is not this style, no matter what, special forces should have been sent to blow up this F16C, why is there no movement?" Canglong touched his chin and frowned.

"There really isn't any movement, we are in the intelligence network in Basra, we haven't received any news of the movement of the Americans, they are all under our surveillance, it is impossible to make any small movements, I don't know." Su Su said confidently that the Intelligence Agency has always been an independent 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 militia and the Women's Army were the eyes and ears of the Intelligence Agency.

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

This is a bit of a North Korean flavor, but the difference in Basra is that people's beliefs are not mandatory, but based on the provision of living standards, as well as religious culture, so this kind of belief is much more reliable than the repressive rule of North Korea, at least now if you shout in Basra that the government is down, it is estimated that the people of Basra may immediately arrest and beat the person who created the rumors, and immediately notify the intelligence agency.

"However, recently we have received information that the US military has basically cleared the threat of the Mahdi Army guerrillas, and the Kurdish alliance in the far north seems to have calmed down, and these Kurds have been pacified by the Americans, so the central government is now preparing to march into the four central provinces to deal with the remnants of the Baath Party." Su Su said.

"Oh, it looks like she's determined to put up with it." Canglong frowned, "We can't sit still like this, when Natasha solves the remnants of the Ba'ath Party, then we will be embattled, so now we have to talk to the people of the Ba'ath Party, at least let them drag on for a year or two." ”

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

"So we have to support them behind the scenes, at least to 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, "I even want to fight with us, after all, the remnants of the Baath Party are Saddam's personal followers, they think that everything in Iraq is theirs, and our Prophet Army is just a rebellion, so I simply expelled them." ”

"Oh." Canglong frowned, "You didn't beat them?" ”

"Nope." Su Su shook his head, "After all, you have to take care of the relationship between the two parties. ”

"The next time there is such a thing, just beat him to death, and beat him until his parents don't know him." Canglong said calmly.

Su Su was speechless, but still nodded
