On October 3, 1932, Iraq officially joined the League of Nations (the predecessor of the United Nations), and Iraq designated this day as the National Day.

On October 1, 1982, the hero of the Southern Military District, His Excellency Qusay, returned to Baghdad and was warmly welcomed by the President and others.

If we say that Saddam's personality characteristics are brave, strong, stubborn, arrogant, and easily carried away, there is another characteristic, that is, good face.

Iraq's air strikes on Iran have been widely praised by the international community, completely destroying the weapons of mass destruction and sarin of the evil country Iran, and maintaining world stability.

Of course, the high-ranking officials of the Northern Military Region showed great surprise and envy at the air raid organized by the Southern Military Region.

This mission, if handed over to the air force of the Northern Military Region, it is absolutely impossible to be so clean and neat, not a single fighter plane has blown up all the targets, the photos taken back by the MiG-25R of the Northern Military Region show that their attack this time is very accurate, this is simply a miracle, looking at the entire Middle East, I am afraid that only Israel can do it.

Originally, in Iraq's armed forces, the Northern Military Region has always been the boss, but since His Excellency Qusay went to the South, the Southern Military Region has undergone earth-shaking changes.

They all know that the Southern Military District has introduced F-20 fighters from the United States, is this kind of fighter really so godly? Although the Northern Military District is equipped with Iraq's most "advanced" MiG-25, it seems that His Excellency Qusay does not look down on this fighter that can reach three times the speed of sound.

Dig up some F-20s from the south? Air Force Commander Abid was tempted.

At the Palace of the Republic, a celebration for His Excellency Qusay is taking place.

"Ever since Qusay arrived in the Southern Military District, the Southern Military District has been winning battles, the Susangild swamps, the destruction of the Iranian armored forces, the port of Aladan, the port of Khomeini, these important port cities, have been taken by us, especially the port of Khomeini, which is named after that leader." Baath No. 2 Taha? Yasin? Ramadan began by saying: "This time, Qusay has once again achieved a brilliant record, completely destroying the Iranians' chemical weapons production capacity, so that our army will not risk chemical weapons when attacking, so that Khomeini has lost a killer weapon." ”

Every time he returned to Baghdad, Zhang Feng was treated differently, but it was the first time that such a grand and cheerful scene was like today, and Zhang Feng knew that this time his father was very happy, and he was also very satisfied with himself.

In that case, why not put the icing on the cake?

Zhang Feng said: "The Iranians dared to use chemical weapons in the face of the world's condemnation, and our Southern Military Region did this for the sake of stability in the Middle East. ”

Now they are armed with guns and occupy Iranian land, and what they are saying here is for the sake of stability in the Middle East, I wonder if Khomeini will be so angry that he will vomit blood if he hears it.

However, if Khomeini hears it, I'm afraid he will vomit blood.

"Today, our army has completely occupied the port of Khomeini, which is a very important port, and after we rebuild it, it will greatly enhance our military capabilities, and I propose that this port become the main base of our navy in the future, and that this port be renamed Port Saddam!"

When Saddam Hussein heard this, his eyes narrowed into a line with joy, as a feud, Khomeini could be ravaged like this, which was really one thing that made him happy.

However, he still did not relax, and this port became the main naval base in the future?

"Our current navy doesn't seem to need such a big port, right?" Saddam said.

"Your Excellency the President, we don't have the ability to develop a navy yet, our navy only has a few small gunboats, but in the future, our navy will definitely develop greatly, we have maritime trade routes, we need to protect, not to mention, even in the Persian Gulf, our oil tankers also need naval protection." Zhang Feng said.

Saddam Hussein was the idea of the Continental Army, and he never attached importance to the Air Force, let alone the Navy, and Zhang Feng could only infiltrate step by step, invisibly and gradually let him erect these concepts.

Moreover, Zhang Feng knew that in the later stage of the Iran-Iraq war, there would be a protracted ship raid war, and if he had a strong navy, he would have a strong force.

More importantly, if Iraq wants to become a great power, out of the Persian Gulf, out of the Arabian Sea, sailing on the ocean, a strong navy is even more indispensable!

Saddam Hussein nodded, in agreement.

"Your Excellency Qusay, this time the F-20 fighters of your Southern Military Region are in the limelight, and the production line is also on the right track. Abid asked.

Originally, Baghdad had the final say on weapons and equipment, but now the situation is slowly changing, and most of the F-20 negotiations from the beginning of negotiations, to raising funds, and introducing personnel, are solved by His Excellency Qusay himself.

Hearing this, Zhang Feng keenly heard what was in the words, the fighter plane was set up by him, but there was still a father above his head.

Fighter planes belong to high-tech products in national defense, how can Daddy not want it? He knows that his current foundation is not stable, and he must not let his father be dissatisfied and suspicious of him, after all, there is still that crippled brother, that person, the ability is not good, and it is very good to make it bad.

"Although the production line is in Basra, the planes produced are still allocated by the logistics department, and the ten planes in the early stage are all test flights, so they were first deployed to our Southern Military Region, and the planes on the production line in the future are how to be allocated, please arrange them by the logistics department." Zhang Feng said generously.

If he produces his own planes and equips them all quietly into his own troops, then it will definitely arouse the suspicion of his father, coupled with the remarks of other well-intentioned people, I am afraid that there will be problems, so when Zhang Feng comes back this time, he actually has this idea.

And the C801 anti-ship missile, there is nothing to say, because the Southern Military Region is near the sea, and it is natural that this kind of missile aimed at warships should be assigned to the Southern Military Region.

As for improving this missile, it is still in top secret, and it is not very successful, and Zhang Feng has not planned to report it yet.

Although Zhang Feng said so, he knew that his father would definitely not embarrass himself, otherwise, he would not let him do it alone from beginning to end, Daddy's baby, that is imported from the Soviet Union MiG Hearing Zhang Feng's statement, Saddam Hussein was very happy, he thought about it and asked: "Is your production line starting production now?" ”

"For the time being, it is still being commissioned, and many parts have to be purchased from the United States temporarily, and it is expected that the first aircraft will leave the factory at least two months later." Zhang Feng said, "It is expected that about 20 aircraft can be produced next year." ”

The production of airplanes, not the production of cars, airplanes belong to high-tech products, and the installation of various equipment requires cycles. Especially in the early stage, the running-in between workers and equipment also requires a process.

Hearing that only twenty aircraft were produced in a year, Saddam Hussein had lost interest: "We are talking with the Soviet Union and preparing to introduce another batch of fighters, such light aircraft, which will be left in the Southern Military District!" ”

Since Iraq has not experienced the war of destruction, and there is oil extraction and refining on the occupied Iranian land, Iraq's economy is still operating normally, and even has a lot of savings in foreign exchange reserves.

In Saddam's eyes, it is still easy to buy outsourced, and he is not very interested in that light fighter.

When Abid heard this, he had no choice but to give up, and now, within the Air Force, it has long been spread that the surname of the F-20 fighter is very strong, and it can not only fight beyond visual range air combat, but also in close combat, and the F-14 can give it a go, although he wants to equip it, but President Saddam Hussein has said so, and he has no other way.

Import of fighters from the USSR? Zhang Feng was very disappointed in his heart, his father must have been fooled by Lao Maozi, what fighter jets can come out of the current Soviet Union? The MiG-29 has just been finalized and has not yet been equipped with troops, let alone the Su-27, a high-altitude and high-speed interceptor, which is not suitable for future air combat at all.

However, the Soviet fighters are not good, it does not mean that the Soviet Union is not good at anything else, the Soviet Union still has good things, for example, the armored lion that makes the West talk about the discoloration!

Now, in the Iraqi army, the best tank has to be the T-72, although Zhang Feng improved the 69 tank, it is only temporary. Now that the fighter side is on the right track, he is already thinking about it.

If Iraq wants to become a great power, weapons must be based on its own production! TankAs the king of land warfare, Iraq must have its own tank production line.

"Your Excellency." Zhang Feng said: "Today, we have occupied the port of Khomeini, in front of our army, it is already those vast lands, if we want to continue to progress, the armored corps is indispensable, our Southern Military District, up to now, the armored corps is equipped with a variety of tanks, even the captured Iranian tanks are used." Our army should have a main battle tank adapted to our Middle East region. ”

Hearing his son's words, Saddam Hussein was very happy, now he has occupied the land of the Iranians, the second son's words, that is, the Southern Military Region is ready to continue to progress, remembering that his dream of a big empire is being realized little by little, Saddam Hussein is happy to come to it, and said: "Abdullah, do you want to equip a tank?" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency Father, our Southern Military District, we are in great need of a main battle tank, if one is introduced from the Soviet Union..."

"Well, this matter will be left to you to deal with, imported from the Soviet Union." Saddam said.

Unexpectedly, his father answered so refreshingly, he wanted to say that the introduction of tank production lines from the Soviet Union, the production of chassis, and the redesign of the new fire control system, my father must have thought that it was directly introduced, since he didn't ask, then it was assumed that he agreed.

"It's the National Day soon, and we're going to have a military parade in Baghdad, Abdullah, you and I are here together!" Saddam said.

"Yes!" Zhang Feng knew that this was his father announcing his status to everyone, and that crippled brother was probably so angry that he was smoking.
