"I'm very sorry, we will definitely investigate the truth of this incident, where the Iranian parts and missiles came from, we will definitely give you an explanation, but this incident is very important, I hope you can explain to the president, we in the United States, have always attached importance to good relations with your country, and we do not want to see this kind of thing happen, please stay sensible, do not fall for Khomeini's annihilation." Brightman said.

"I'm sorry, I can't explain this kind of thing." Zhang Feng said: "I believe that Iraq's intelligence department has already received the news, and you also know that our president is very righteous, if you know that his most trusted American brother has betrayed Iraq, you also know what the consequences are, I can't persuade the president, my influence here is not very great." ”

Brightman naturally knew that otherwise how could he come to Zhang Feng, if he went directly to President Saddam, the matter would not be negotiated at all, although Saddam Hussein was also a shrewd politician, but he was also a violent ruler, and he could only find the most trusted person around him.

"Your Excellency Qusay, you are the son of the president, and you have made outstanding achievements in war, if you explain to the president that we Americans have not sent weapons to Iran, the president will definitely believe you, your current status in Iraq is second only to President Saddam, and you will definitely be the ruler of Iraq in the future, so we in the United States trust you very much, and we also attach great importance to friendly exchanges with you, and we have even exported important aircraft production lines to you, isn't this a living example?"

"There is only an aircraft production line, but my engines and avionics still have to be imported from your country, and when your country is unhappy, it will always carry out an embargo like at the beginning of the year." Zhang Feng said: "If your country wants to show sincerity, then why didn't you approve my plan to introduce my engine and avionics production line together last time?" ”

"It's a complete misunderstanding." "Engines and avionics are precision fields, and even if they are sold to your country's production line, with your country's skilled workers, you can't make a qualified product," Brightman explained. The direct supply of our country to your country is much cheaper than the high scrap rate produced by your country, and we are completely for the sake of your country. ”

In the manufacture of aircraft, engines and avionics are two core areas, engines work under high temperature and high pressure, only first-class designers can develop new engines, Iraq lacks such personnel, so we can only start with the introduction. Avionics is the key to improving the combat capability of aircraft, and it is also very reasonable for the Americans to keep a good hold on to these two aspects.

Zhang Feng, on the other hand, took advantage of this crisis to pull out his teeth and get the United States to agree to export these two things to him. Although all kinds of raw materials have to be imported, but the possession of the production line is absolutely cross-era, even if the United States turns its face, raw materials can also be imported from the Soviet Union, Western Europe or China in various names, and with these equipment, the overhaul of the engine after the future, life extension, will be very easy.

I also have to thank Ayatollah Khomeini for giving himself this opportunity.

"Your Excellency Qusay, I'm very sorry, we don't have a precedent for exporting engine and avionics production lines to a non-Western country, we really can't agree to your request, but I can apply for a domestic and provide you with a hundred F404 engines and avionics equipment at a preferential price to meet your needs, so it's always okay, right?" Brightman said.

Iraq needs a total of a hundred F-20s, and almost twenty have already been delivered, and another hundred engines will be provided to him, so that even the replacement engines will be available, and he is not satisfied?

His Excellency Qusay shook his head and said: "Then I am also very sorry, if President Reagan does not agree to this arms sales plan, then, naturally, there are other people who agree, and someone has promised me, if we can disclose to the world that Iran has regained possession of Immortal Bird missiles and F-14 fighter jets to resume flying in large quantities, then he is willing to approve the export of these production lines to us." ”

"How is that possible, these production lines cannot be exported without the approval of the president, Your Excellency Qusay, are you kidding?" Brightman said incredulously: "If the president can approve it, then he will not hesitate to agree." Unless it's not him who is president..."

Suddenly, Brightman stopped, and only then did he react, this is what the other party meant, as a diplomat, he didn't even think of this!

"Your country is a two-party country, and many people are staring at the position of president," Zhang Feng said with a smile: "On the day that Iran announced the news, Mondale, who claimed to be the representative of your country's Mingzhu Party, personally came to talk to me in detail, hoping that our Iraq can reveal the truth of the whole incident, and he promised that if the Mingzhu Party can come to power, he will sell these two things to us as soon as possible, and strengthen the cooperative relationship with us, even your country's newly developed AN/FPS-117, will be exported to our country. ”

Hearing the words spoken by the smiling Arab young man in front of him, Brightman felt like five thunderbolts, and everyone knew very well that if it wasn't for the hostage incident last time, President Carter would definitely be re-elected.

The United States has always attached great importance to the Middle East, so after the new president took office, he always sent his own people to serve as ambassadors to these countries, and Brightman could naturally be regarded as Reagan's confidant, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to know about the most secret things about the exchange of weapons for hostages, and it would be impossible for him to send him to lobby Qusay.

Brightman is a man in the same trench as President Reagan, and now hearing these words, combined with the turmoil in the country, naturally knows that what His Excellency Qusay said is naturally correct.

Between countries, friendship does not exist at all, what kind of friendship between Americans and Iraqis is nonsense, only interests, is the most important, if Mondale gives him more benefits, to Mondale, that is a very normal thing.

If Iraq announces that a large number of Iranian warplanes and missiles have appeared, and if there are those people in the country who are in the Ming Boiling Party and start to make a fuss, public opinion will be very dangerous, and President Reagan will be very dangerous.

Don't let that happen! Brightman finally knew that the smiling young man in front of him was not at all a political idiot as he appeared, and the city government was so deep that even President Reagan was planted in his hands.

What else can be done but consent?

If Brightman knew that these were all made up by Zhang Feng, I don't know how depressed it would be, Iraq's Qusay is definitely a demon who escaped from hell, and it is even more difficult to deal with than Khomeini! Khomeini's conspiracy can be seen through at a glance, and this Lord Qusay, without much action himself, can stir up a shocking wave.

All of this was naturally made up by Zhang Feng, he knew that this incident in later generations almost drove Reagan down, and the United States is a two-party country, and the president cannot cover the sky with one hand, and another party must be staring at this kind of thing.

Competing for the next Reagan re-election, it is Mondale, Zhang Feng proposed this person, and now he must be a well-known person in the Mingzhu Party, as for those things such as engine production lines for himself, they are all made up by Zhang Feng, and the various benefits promised before coming to power cannot be taken seriously at all, no matter how many benefits the other party gives now, after coming to power, it will definitely still be four words: American interests! It is better to deal with that uncertain person in the future than to rob the current president.

"That person in Mondale is just a member of the Mingzhu Party, and he doesn't have that much power at all." Brightman said, "Your Excellency Qusay, you can't be deceived by him, are you? ”

"Really?" Zhang Feng said: "I want him to be here, waiting to pick up those hostages and go back to the United States together!" ”

Hostages, hostages again! How did the hostage fall into the hands of the person in front of him! Brightman hesitated in his heart, although President Reagan promised that at the last moment, he could agree to the conditions for the sale of the engine production line, but he was trying his best to fight for it, because he was in Iraq, he had already seen that under the influence of His Excellency Qusay, Iraq had undergone tremendous changes, and if this country could produce advanced weapons, then it would definitely become the most powerful country in the Middle East!

A strong Iraq is not in the interests of the United States. Damn Mondale, for the sake of their Ming Cooking Party, actually did such a thing! He's not a qualified American at all!

However, Brightman also knows that now, he has only two paths, either to agree to the conditions of the person in front of him, or to let things unfold, and President Reagan is in danger.

"Okay." Brightman struggled inwardly for a long time, and finally made up his mind: "I will report to the president, hoping that he can agree to these conditions of you, so that our military cooperation between our two sides can reach a new level." ”

You know, you'll eventually give in! Zhang Feng looked at the Americans in front of him with satisfaction, and took a stack of documents from the table with a smile: "This is a project that we need to sign, please President Reagan take a look at it for himself!" ”

Looking at the thick stack, Brightman felt as if he was about to suffocate again, he picked it up and flipped a few pages, although he was not from the military, but he also knew that it was simply impossible.

The first few pages are all about the F404 engine and the fire control system including the AN//APG67 radar, and further back, there are a large number of Paveway laser-guided bombs and AGM-65 Maverick TV-guided air-to-surface missiles, AN/FPS-117 long-range phased array radar, which are acceptable, but, further back, it is more and more excessive, 40 AH-64 Apache armed attack helicopters? And 2 E-3 watchtower airborne AWACS aircraft?

He didn't roll back again, will there be some ballistic missiles, nuclear submarines coming from behind?
