President Reagan has been in trouble lately.

Smoking a cigar, Reagan's brows furrowed deeply, looked at his think tank, and said, "The asking price of the Iraqis has already been offered, and you have seen it, right?" ”

"We must not agree to these conditions, these things, we can't export them at all, they are really too much!" Weinberg said: "Even if it is a member of NATO, we also have a lot of things that are not exported, and they open their mouths like this, and Khomeini is all the way!" ”

When Khomeini was mentioned, everyone had no face on their faces, and these think tanks, these people at the highest level in the United States, tossed for more than a month, and all kinds of tricks were used, but they did not have much effect, on the contrary, the stupid trick of exchanging weapons for hostages did not work, and they also lost their current embarrassing position.

However, they knew that they must not deal with Qusay in the same way as they did with Khomeini, because it was with Qusay's help that they were able to free the hostages, and the news from Iraq that these hostages would be able to return to Iraq in a few days and then return to China by special plane.

From this point of view, Qusai is their friend and has provided them with great help, and they export weapons to Iran, which is tantamount to betraying their friends, and it is normal for Qusai to have such a reaction.

"Recently, the Ming Cook Party in China has been very active, and they have proposed in the National Assembly to set up a team to investigate this incident, although we have done a very covert job, but those guys' noses are too smart, I am afraid that they will find something." White House Chief of Staff James said.

Yes, if they don't make a choice, then they are likely to be deeply involved in this political crisis at home.

Khomeini is so hateful! How dare you spread rumors!

However, if the conditions proposed by Kusay are followed, it is also unrealistic, and the export of so many weapons, even if Congress does not ask about it, is a threat to the Americans, because Iraq is not a NATO country after all, and its relations with the Soviet Union are also close, and if the Soviet Union obtains the secret of these weapons of the US military, the consequences will be very serious.

"I think the conditions that Qusay put forward this time are just testing us." Bush said suddenly.? Reagan's eyes lit up, and the conditions proposed by Cusay this time were really likely to be tentative! "Go on."

"If Qusay is not a stupid person, he should know that it is impossible for us to export all these things to Iraq, and he still has to write like this, and it can also be said that he has some elements of anger, after all, the things we did last time caused a lot of trouble to Iraq, and he put forward these rude conditions just to embarrass us." Bush said: "However, he must also understand what our bottom line is, so we only need to partially agree to his request, for example, only export the engine production line, and the fire control system will only export the production line of some non-critical equipment, and I think he should be able to agree to our request." ”

Although Mondale and Cusay negotiated, Cusay was not a fool, and he could see that even if Mondale agreed to him, even if the Mingzhu Party was in power, he would not implement these conditions.

Cusai is a smart guy and will definitely take it when he sees it and make the right choice.

Reagan made up his mind.

"There's Mariwan ahead, and after crossing this mountain, we'll be in Iraq." Hassal said calmly to McFarlane.

My God! After all the hardships, we are finally free again! McFarlane looked at the white mountains around him, and looked at the Americans around him who had long ceased to be glamorous, and this arduous operation to rescue the hostages had finally achieved the final success after going through hardships and dangers!

He, McFarlane, will also be warmly welcomed by the people of the whole United States because of this operation, money, power, status, beauty... McFarlane came to his senses, he was not quite successful, and the closer he got to success, the more danger there became, and the more he needed to be cautious.

Looking at the sturdy Iraqi special forces around them, they were walking vigilantly.

Although the last time they were in a car, it was the Iranian troops who escorted them, but it is completely two concepts, and this group of Iraqis is the one who really protects them.

McFarlane was full of gratitude, and if it weren't for them, maybe these Americans would still be being held hostage in some backward part of Iran, leaving the hijacked plane, and stuffing them wherever they wanted, and I am afraid that the CIA would not have found them in a few years.

When you go back, you must report their deeds so that all Americans know about them! Macfarlane made up his mind, although he was intimidated and could not be exposed, but Macfarlane still decided to do so, so as to make the situation more critical and more conducive to the appearance of his glorious image.

When Brightman saw Cusay again, after difficult bargaining, His Excellency Cusay finally agreed to their request, only to provide the production line of the F404 engine, but the raw materials still need to be imported from the United States, as for the fire control system, it is only responsible for the production of circuit boards, the components are also imported from the United States, the Paveway and Maverick missiles can be supplied with another batch, and the gunship can be provided with the latest improved model of the AH-1 Cobra.

Although Zhang Feng agreed with great difficulty, his heart blossomed, these things, if they were under normal circumstances, it would be impossible!

In particular, the production line of F404 engine, as the most important component of the aircraft, is a symbol of a country's scientific and technological strength, Iraq does not have the ability to develop its own, after the introduction of this production line, although the raw materials are still imported, but those precision processing equipment, advanced technology, is Iraq's biggest harvest, at least can improve Iraq's industrial level for ten years!

In later generations, even Sweden, when researching the Gripen fighter, 60% of the components of the engine equipped with this type were still provided by General Electric, and then shipped to Sweden for assembly.

It's very important to get those processing equipment. If it weren't for such a difficult opportunity, the Americans would never have agreed, so Zhang Feng was still stained with Khomeini's light.

Only by first producing and training a group of technical personnel in the course of production, and then bringing in a group of qualified personnel from abroad, can Iraq finally realize that it can develop advanced aero engines, and this will be a long process, although painful, but it must be experienced, because the final technology cannot be bought.

Moreover, after the F404 can be produced in China, Zhang Feng also has an idea to use the same F404 engine on the Mirage 4000 purchased from France!

For Dassault, the Phantom 4000 is a dream, and, under the advocacy of Zhang Feng, it is different from the development of history, and this dream is very likely to be realized. In particular, the design of the Mirage 4000 has been changed with the addition of a pair of adjustable canards, which will have a big impact on flight qualities.

It's just that the Mirage 4000 still has shortcomings, France alone bears the research and development of the entire aircraft, it is impossible to have a breakthrough in various technologies, the engine is the weakness, until the Rafale of later generations, the engine is still not good, when the test flight began, the F404 engine imported from the United States was used, and it was not until later that it was replaced with a domestic M88.

Now, the Phantom 4000 uses the same single-rotor engine M53 as the Phantom 2000, and the thrust is exactly the same level as the F404.

Of course, this is only a preliminary assumption, and at least it is necessary to ensure that Iraq can produce qualified engines.

What Iraq needs is time.

After Brightman left, Zhang Feng immediately sent a delegation to the United States, and this agreement could only be completed after signing with General Electric.

As long as the agreement is signed and no major international problems arise, the United States will not obstruct it more this time, because Zhang Feng has made great contributions to the rescue of the hostages, and the Americans will also have a favorable impression of Iraq, and exporting this kind of engine production line is a way to enhance the feelings between the two countries and can be understood by the people.

And General Motors, as long as there is a high price, they are also willing to export, because, with the completion of the development of their high-thrust F110 engine, this medium-thrust engine will not pose much of a threat to them.

However, they did not expect that the cunning Iraqis actually mixed with the Chinese, using these advanced processing equipment, a few years later, successfully finalized the turbofan 6 high-thrust engine developed by the Chinese and put it into use.

Subsequently, Zhang Feng was promoted to the president again, and after several hours of talks, the president agreed with his proposition, and remained silent about the fact that the Iranian Air Force had suddenly become powerful, and at the same time, announced in a high-profile manner that Iraq was rescuing the trapped hostages, and these hostages had entered Iraq, and they were flying back to Baghdad in a helicopter sent by the Iraqi Air Force!

In Baghdad, the hostages received warm condolences from senior Iraqi officials, including President Saddam, and while showing concern, they also condemned the blatant violation of international morality and support for terrorist activities by the Iranian regime!

Subsequently, all the hostages were transferred to an Air France plane and flew back to the United States, where President Reagan was already waiting for their return.

The hostage incident, which lasted for nearly two months, finally came to a successful conclusion.
