Chapter 196: Propaganda

At the end of 1981, all the eyes of the world once again converged on the Persian Gulf in the Middle East, and a small anti-ship missile touched the hearts of many countries.

The French aerospace company issued a high-profile press conference, announcing that an Exocet anti-ship missile owned by the aerospace company, under the accurate guidance of the Iraqi Air Force's Mirage F1 fighters, destroyed the Iranian Navy's largest warship, the Babur-class, and achieved brilliant results.

Suddenly, in military circles, the uproar caused even surpassed the sensation of the Third Middle East War, when the Israeli frigate was sunk by an Egyptian anti-ship missile on the Styx.

This is because the Babur-class is equipped with almost the most advanced American-made standard-1MR ship-to-air missile, which can completely destroy any threatening sea and air targets at a distance of 40 kilometers.

In an instant, the Exocet missile became famous.

However, there have been no reports from Iraq, the main user.

And the Iranian Navy, which was recruited, has no reports.

As a result, only the aerospace company is singing a one-man show, and some media in the United States have begun to wonder whether the French aerospace company is making false propaganda for the purpose of promoting this missile.

If you really blow up the warship of the Iranians, wouldn't you have come out in a high-profile manner to announce that you had beaten the Persian navy?

Zhang Feng didn't have time, and he didn't want to publicize it.

Help the aerospace company publicize, there are no benefits, there are a lot of disadvantages, the celebrity effect is too terrible, if they are famous for this kind of missile, and there are more countries that buy them, then, the unit price will definitely be raised, and it will not be good for themselves, if that brother in South America orders more, where will they make money? This kind of thankless thing, Zhang Feng doesn't want to do it.

And the Iranian Navy lost the battle and sank a large warship, and it will not slap itself in the face.

Zhang Feng's main energy was on the Iranian army opposite.

The navy has retreated, and they will definitely not dare to launch this kind of surprise attack for the time being, but the battle on land is far from over.

Due to the heavy air battles caused by the very heavy consumption of both sides, the number of sorties of fighters was significantly reduced, although occasionally one or two Iranian planes came, but the main Tomcat fighters did not appear.

The pilots of the Iranian Air Force are also very good at thinking and summing up experience, and in the last air battle, they finally realized that Iraq was equipped with a new type of aircraft and missiles, and they had found intelligence, this kind of fighter was the French Mirage F1, and the missile was the Matra 530 medium-range missile of the Matra company, and they were looking for a way to counter this missile.

And the commander Hashmian has also realized that the young man named Qusay on the opposite side is indeed a person with outstanding battlefield intuition, and when fighting with this kind of opponent, he must plan and then act, and without absolute certainty, he can't let go of it. He ordered the attacking troops to retreat and prepare for a new offensive.

In this way, the Abadan front suddenly fell into temporary silence. However, this is only the silence before the storm, and once there is movement, it is a shocking stone.

The French engineers can finally rest in Iraq for a few days, and their high-intensity labor some time ago has been rewarded, but it has not been recognized, so some of the engineers, on behalf of the French aerospace company, have made some requests to His Excellency Cusay, but they have all been rejected for the simple reason that the situation on the front line is tight, and His Excellency Qusay has gone to the front to inspect it, and as for your request, the secretary will convey it on his behalf.

It really makes no sense, when I need myself in those days, I eat and drink well, and there are always big people to see them, and the Lord Qusay is still very approachable, and he chats with them very speculatively, and there is a beautiful translator to follow, and now they are not needed, it is like a different person, and he doesn't care about them at all.

It's too much!

Joseph is in a very calm mood, he comes here, he has a sense of belonging and identity, everything here is so full of ancient civilizations, the mosque in Basra, the lake in Hamar in the north of the city, he is full of good feelings about this place, he is used to staying in Europe, and the scenery here is even more charming.

The old woman in the French aerospace company was in a hurry, and she suddenly inquired that when His Excellency Qusay was in France, he had saved an AFP reporter, and the reporter had heard that he had already established a relationship with His Excellency Qusay, and that after His Excellency Qusay returned to China, this reporter also went to Iraq with him.

She immediately contacted AFP, hoping that they would come forward and let the reporter interview His Excellency Qusay, which is a sensational news that will be good for AFP.

AFP agreed.

So, the AFP correspondent, the swallow of the Soviet Union, the beauty loves the hero Ajelina, finally found the right opportunity.

Ajelina had already arrived in Basra on the flight and stayed in a hotel, but she could not immediately go to see Qusay.

This is not France, and Qusay is not here to investigate, Qusay is the son of the president here, the future president of Iraq, and she can meet casually? She will always be a passer-by, leaving a brief mark on his life.

A trace of emptiness suddenly flashed in Ajelina's heart, is she really used to this kind of life? Playing with all the men in the palm of your hand, but not having one to really rely on? This is the fate of the swallow!

Suddenly, during the long-distance telephone call at the hotel, the president of the French news agency Agence France-Presse contacted her personally and asked her to interview His Excellency Cusay and write a special report.

That's a good excuse! Ajelina had finally found enough reason to meet with Lord Qusay.

However, Ajelina did not directly request an interview with Cusay, in this case, there is a chance that ** will be blocked back.

Ajelina first went to find Warikh, this person had crossed paths with him when he was in Paris, and he was a trusted person around Qusay, and then he went to tell Cusai in order to have the possibility of being received.

It was another busy day, Zhang Feng discussed the next operational deployment with the staff officers and military commander Izzat and others in the military region, and gradually formed two ideas: first, stand still and kill the Iranian army in the counterattack, and second, take the initiative to attack and destroy the Iranian army in the movement.

However, these two tactics have their own shortcomings, and Zhang Feng still did not make up his mind.

During the break, Warich came over and whispered to Zhang Feng: "There is an AFP reporter who wants to interview you. ”

Zhang Feng's mind rose, in the past few days, there were always various reporters who wanted to interview him, but they were all blocked by the secretary, and he asked casually: "AFP, it can't be that Ajelina, right?" ”

Who knew that Warich's mouth was wide open: no, this can be guessed?

PS: Thank you for the reward of "Lonely as Snow * Maple"!
