After repeatedly lobbying the Kuwaiti military leadership, the other party still behaved very coldly, and the sales team sent by Northrop felt hopeless and began to move the battlefield to prepare to lobby the Iraqi Air Force.

Iraq and Iran are at war, because the Iranian Air Force is equipped with powerful Tomcat fighters, so, Iraq's air force, is fundamentally at a disadvantage, those Soviet-made fighters, has always been strong and durable as the principle, the fire control system is backward, can not compete with the Tomcat at all, the only like fighters, is imported from France those Mirage F1 fighters, equipped with a new radar developed by France, and with the Super Matt 530 medium-range missile, it can be regarded as posing a certain threat to the Tomcat.

However, this fighter, compared with the F-20, still looks very backward, the radar of the Mirage F1 still has many unsolvable technical problems, and the medium-range missile is not advanced enough. With the AN/APG-67 advanced radar, combined with the Sparrow medium-range air-to-air missile, it can give the Tomcat a heavy blow, although the small size, resulting in the limited bomb load of the F-20, however, this just makes the radar signature smaller, and it is small and flexible, and the close-range grapple will not fall behind. Although the combat radius is relatively short, the depth of Iraq's territory is not large, so Fred and Kashin are full of confidence in their trip to Iraq.

The only difficult problem is that Iraq is a traditional Soviet-style equipment country, and if they are equipped with American-made fighter jets, I am afraid that there will be great resistance, and there will definitely be diehards in the army.

Therefore, Fred originally wanted to go to Baghdad in person, but he changed his mind halfway and went to the Southern Military District first, where he met the Iraqi combat hero, the great Lord Qusay.

Because, when Fred was sorting out the information in the Middle East, he suddenly found that the youngest son of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was called a military genius by the outside world, although the US military did not think so, but Fred found that this Lord Qusay attached great importance to the role of the air force, especially the battle of Abadan, Iran's elite regiments, which fell in the air in the indiscriminate bombardment.

It is much easier to lobby such a person than to directly lobby the top echelons of the Iraqi military and even President Saddam; after all, this person has just joined the army, and he is very strong-blooded and prone to hot-headedness, and when the time comes, it will be much easier for him to lobby the rest of the military and even President Saddam.

Remembering that the company raised its own funds and developed a fighter plane, the US military did not equip any of them, and if there was no market, it would be a complete failure, and Fred was even more full of expectations for this trip.

The plane landed at Basra Airport, and Fred was very excited to see some of the soldiers of the Southern Military District waiting for him at the airport.

Since the other party put on a show to greet him, then, I'm afraid there will be a drama this time!

Fred greeted him happily.

"Hello and welcome to Iraq, my American friend." The other party walked out of a person and said, "I am a staff officer of the Southern Military Region, and I am here to welcome you on the orders of the head of the Military Region. "Speaks fluent English.

The news of Fred's arrival had already been contacted in advance through the embassy and Iraq, so when he learned that he was coming to the Southern Military District, Izzat sent one of his English-speaking staff officers to the airport with a few people to meet him.

"Thank you," Fred said, "We have come to this great country with sincere respect and hope that we can work together to hold up the skies of Iraq." ”

After the greetings, the staff officer took them to the car and took them to the Basra Hotel.

At the same time, Zhang Feng also got the news, and he had no choice but to put down his work and prepare to meet these people from the United States.

After Zhang Feng learned his identity, he felt that it was of great use, but how to use it, he still didn't think about it, and it was very difficult to pry out the inside story of the Israeli military from his mouth, so he had to give up for the time being.

Although the big bosses were the last to play, Zhang Feng could no longer pretend to be reserved after learning that the people from Northrop were coming, he knew the value of these fighters, and if he could get them, it would be of great benefit to the Iraqi army.

Although Zhang Feng knew that this kind of thing was in a hurry, he still walked out of the cell and drove to the hotel.

In one of the halls of the Basra Grand Hotel, the Supreme Commander of the Southern Military District, Commander of the Military District, Izat, and Chief of Staff Fath Harad met with representatives of Northrop who had arrived.

In the Iran-Iraq war, the United States has always stood on the side of Iraq, cutting off all Iranian sources of weapons and accessories, and this action has won the favor of Iraq.

Being received in this way made Fred feel even more excited, especially when the Western-style party was held in the hotel, which made the group feel the warmth of returning to the United States.

"I hope you know that in Iraq, alcohol is banned, so this time, we are preparing Coca-Cola and other beverages for you, and now, let's raise a glass and celebrate for our American friends who have come from afar." Izzat said.

Although Iraq has a ban on alcohol, it is not uncommon for people to drink at the top level, such as the eldest young master, Uday, who is very fond of alcohol, but in such public places, it is still necessary to take into account customs.

I heard that there was no alcohol to drink, and the delegation felt a little disappointed, since it was a hotel, why didn't there be any alcohol! But they knew that there was indeed such a custom here, so they had to raise their glasses full of drinks to express their gratitude to the high-ranking officials of the Southern Military District.

Zhang Feng drove to the hotel, and when he heard the noise inside, he just wanted to go in, but suddenly stopped.

I'm too anxious!

The big guys are always the last to appear, and they sent someone to pick them up today, in fact, they all miscalculated, they should take the initiative to find themselves, so that the initiative can be in their own hands, Zhang Feng knows that this is still the etiquette of his previous life from that eastern country, let him give the other party such a thoughtful hospitality, but will the other party think that he is asking for them, and they will be offered a high price when the time comes?

The initiative must be in his own hands, Zhang Feng thought that he should hang them for a while, and in later generations, he did not experience the domineering of this bureaucratic style.

Suddenly, Zhang Feng laughed again, he knew that none of Northrop's fighters had been sold, no matter whether he was enthusiastic or not, the initiative was in his hands, and they could only agree to the conditions he proposed! Otherwise, Zhang Feng would rather choose something else than consider it, choosing American-made weapons, there are too many restrictions, and he can't tie his hands and feet.

Thinking of this, Zhang Feng walked in.
