Chapter 928: The Throat Zone
readx;
The Persians have an air force, and in history, the Persian air force is still very strong, relying on the income from oil, the pro-American Persian zhèngfu, equipped with powerful F-14 Tomcat fighters, has become the only user of equipment other than the US Navy, and even the Sè Air Force is envious. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info{{}}
However, during the war with Iraq, the Persian Air Force was gradually consumed, and due to the US arms embargo, the mighty Tomcat fighters were able to fly less and less normally. At the beginning of the war, the Persian air force had an overall upper hand, especially the combination of Tomcat and immortal bird, which made the operation of the Iraqi air force full of risks.
However, with the introduction of the French Mirage F1 in Iraq, the situation began to gradually improve, especially after Qusay gradually emerged, began to vigorously introduce Western fighters, F-20, Mirage 4000, and finally, the Persian Air Force gradually became a disadvantage, and in the last few operations, the Persian Air Force, which could not be supplemented by new fighters, ended up in ruin.
Since then, the Persian skies have been full of Iraqi warplanes.
At the invitation of Rajawi Zhèngfu, the Iraqi Air Force took full responsibility for the protection of Iran's airspace, and their Mirage 4000 fighters often soared from the Persian skies. {{}}
However, they also wanted to have their own air force, so, in this friendly atmosphere, Edwin made this proposal.
Hearing what the other side said, Qusay was very generous, Iraq is now massively replacing new fighters, eliminating the old fighters, the MiG-21 is small and light, but the time to leave space is short. And there is no over-the-horizon air combat capability, so it is the object of Iraq's replacement, so the Iranian Air Force will be provided with these fighters for free, so that they can have the ability to defend the sky, Qusay made this decision.
Because Iraq occupies all of the province of Khuzestan . The oil revenues are also all included in their own financial expenditures, so Rajavi zhèngfu is in other provinces. It is only to maintain the normal operation of the country, and the military expenditure of the army, and it is not able to buy fighters. Iraq provided it free of charge, and that was exactly what they could not ask for.
"Thank you very much for the pro bono support from Iraq." Edwin said. With these fighters, at least they can deal with some low-intensity conflicts and protect their own skies with the Iraqi Air Force.
Rajawi was also very happy to see Qusay so strongly supporting their military construction. {{}} He continued: "In the last year, the northern region, in response to the call of our zhèngfu, obeyed the orders of our zhèngfu, but. Now in the east and south, there are almost half of the provinces, which do not obey our new zhèngfu. ”
Hearing Rajavi say that, Qusay knew that he wanted to restore the country's former territory, and what he meant by his words. It is hoped that Iraq will send troops and take those provinces over.
Now, the northwest has been fully subordinated, and the southeast, for the time being, there is no movement, but most of those areas are sparsely populated deserts and mountains, except for a few provinces in the center.
If Rajavi had the ability, he would have taken these areas a long time ago, but unfortunately, he is not capable for the time being, and his army, leaving Iraq, can do nothing. If you want to reforge the air force, it is also to control those areas in the east.
The war in the east has long ended, and in doing so, Qusay has a deep meaning, and the grain-producing areas in the northwest, the mining areas in the west, and the oil areas in the southwest of Khuzestan province are all needed by Iraq.
However, after all, the eastern country used to be a great power, and if this country is reunified, although it is now completely subjugated to Iraq, although Qusay knows that Rajawi is a very obedient person, it does not mean that in the future, there will not be an ambitious person who wants to get rid of Iraq's influence. {{}}
At a time when Iraq does not yet have the capacity to speak out to the entire Middle East, it is in Iraq's interest to keep them in the status quo as they are.
Moreover, Iraq's focus is no longer on the east, and it is not worth it for Iraq to expend military strength on such a task that does not challenge Xingxing. The focus of Iraq is on the west side of the world, the United States, the current world superpower.
Fighting in the mountains, even the most sharp troops, the losses are very large, and Qusay cannot go to this kind of war.
"Yes, those areas are still in ignorance and do not see the kindness of zhèngfu, so we must influence them more and make them submit to zhèngfu's rule." Qusay said.
They didn't join because zhongyāngzhèngfu didn't have enough appeal to morally influence them, and that's what Qusay proposed. {{}}
Hearing Qusay say this, Rajawi knew that the important purpose of their visit this time, to persuade Iraq to send troops and kill all those who disobeyed discipline in the south had failed.
As long as Iraq is willing to send troops, then, with the pressure of the Iraqi army, even if it is not really acted, it will put strong pressure on those guys in the south to submit to their rule.
"Yes, we must make the people of the north richer, govern the people, and let the people of the south see that only by obeying our new zhèngfu can they have a better life, so as to influence them." Mariana said.
Seeing that it was going to be cold, the first lady made a round in time.
"Sometimes, however, you have to use force to let them know that they are making the wrong choice." At this time, Iraq's defense minister Adnan on the side said.
Hearing Adnan's support for the use of force, Rajawi was overjoyed, and it seems that there are still people in the Iraqi military who like to use force. {{}}
Hearing Adnan's words, Qusay's eyes turned to Adnan.
"We can use force to take down the Ishims and the Great and Small Tongbu Islands as quickly as possible, so that those who are still on the sidelines know our force and make their right choices, so that we can just set an example and let them recognize their own gaps." Adnan said.
Hearing Adnan's statement, everyone was shocked, but Rajawi and Iraq had different ideas.
Those islands, at the throat of the Strait of Hormuz, control there is equivalent to control of the entire Persian Gulf!
From Iraq's strategic point of view, if Iraq controls there, it can completely turn the Persian Gulf into Iraq's inland sea, and because of Iraq's friendly relations with Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and other countries, controlling it will not cause them too strong hostility, but for the United States, this is not necessarily the case.
In the past, Iraq had many opportunities to use force to occupy those islands, but Iraq did not do so, because this would lead to strong hostility from Western countries led by the United States, and Iraq did not have the capability to do that kind of move that would excessively provoke the United States.
But now, it is indeed a good opportunity, because now that the United States is too busy to take care of itself, it is simply impossible to spare all the strength to point fingers here, Rajavi zhèngfu is already the legitimate zhèngfu of Iran, which has been recognized by most countries in the world, and the United States has also reopened its embassy in Tehran, and it is reasonable for Iraq to use force to rescue the people who are still enduring oppression there, and it is reasonable for foreign barbaric accusations to be tolerated.
As far as Iraq is concerned, it has a more important position there, Iraq occupies the island of Qeshm, and then, building an air base on it, taking off fighter planes, can patrol half of the Arabian Sea, and when the time comes, if the American aircraft carrier group wants to point fingers at Iraq and interfere in Iraq's internal affairs, they will first have to ask whether the Iraqi air force deployed from the island of Qeshm will agree.
In particular, the E-2 pre-jing aircraft purchased from the United States can also be arranged there.
In an instant, Kusai had figured it out, and now, it was time to solve the problems there.
As for the Rajawi side, what they need is not to land on those islands, but to carry out a large-scale advance of armored forces on land to put pressure on those provinces, but they cannot refute the Iraqi side's proposal.
The strategic location of those areas is very important, Rajavi knows that Qusay will never be left to himself, and he has not thought that he will get those places, but there is still no way to solve so much land in the southeast!
I knew that I didn't mention any of the proposals just now.
"Well, in order to show our strength and let those who are still on the sidelines make their choice as soon as possible, I agree that our Iraqi navy and air force will launch an attack to help you take those islands." Qusay said loudly.
Hearing this, Rajawi knew that there was no room for negotiation in this matter.
"As for the seizure, we can hand it over to you to manage." Qusay said.
Hearing Qusay's words, Rajavi immediately followed: "Those places are far away from our current ruling area, and our army is now more tense, so in those places, I will first entrust your army to help us maintain order there." ”
Rajavi is still more knowledgeable, of course he won't take it, and even if he does, how can he manage it? Those places, separated from most of the south-east, could not control the Holmzigan region, and he could not stay there.
Hearing Rajavi's words, Qusai said: "We will definitely help your country zhèngfu and protect it, which is the gateway to the Persian Gulf, and must not be controlled by those who still obey the former zhèngfu." ”
"Thank you for your selfless help." Rajavi said.
"In order to help the development of agriculture in your country, we will invest 50 million US dollars in 86 years to continue to help stabilize agricultural production in the northwest." Qusay said. (To be continued.) If you like this work,. )
