In the empty lounge on the first floor of the hotel, dimly lit and unoccupied by night control, two ace pilots from NATA and SRAF sat down to talk in the dark.

He didn't know much about Jihad El Fasher, who had just come to the Middle East, but he did hear of this brave lieutenant colonel who served in the Syrian Revolutionary Air Force, and his personal record had accumulated more than ten, which was also ranked among the ace pilots of Middle Eastern countries.

Since the outbreak of the civil war, SRAF has struggled in the fierce battle against the Liberal rebels, and it is only thanks to these skilled and strong-willed backbones that they can barely hold on. After this period of high-intensity consumption, Long Yun also knew that there were not many fighter jets available in the hands of the Damascus regime at the moment, but he still looked at Jihad El Fasher on the other side of the square table strangely, and felt that this SRAF ace had come to visit him, probably with some other intentions.

This kind of feeling, if it were replaced by Long Yun a few months ago, I am afraid that it would not have been, not from the snooping of consciousness, but from his own observation and thinking.

The hotel waiter brought two cups of tea, and Long Yun drank tea while talking to the lieutenant colonel in front of him, and he answered several questions from Farsher in fluent Russian, and also asked the reason why the ace had come to visit. Hearing Long Yun's plan, Jihad Farsher, who looked a little tired but still in good spirits, was obviously surprised, he didn't quite believe that the NATA pilot in front of him had escaped from the Liberal occupied area alone, and he didn't believe that he would take advantage of the chaos to cross the rebel area and return to the Iraqi troop station.

In the face of Farsher's doubts. Long Yun didn't explain much, just smiled and covered up the topic. He knew that his plan would seem incredible to everyone. How could he, a pilot flying a fighter jet, still want to make a cameo appearance as a special forces?

With the freedom to travel with superpowers, this kind of thing can't be explained to anyone, and Long Yun then asked Jihad Farsher why he came here to find him, because he felt that this SRAF ace should be very busy, even if he was hidden in the snow, he might not be idle like this, and ran to the front line to talk to friendly pilots.

When the lieutenant colonel heard this, he just smiled slightly and asked very bluntly:

"I didn't have any missions, I got the news at the base and I happened to be free. Just come here. I think, Mr. 'Red Dragon', although you speak Russian fluently, you must have come to Iraq from China, right? ”

"Uh-me, I don't deny that."

Surprised by the lieutenant colonel's outspokenness, Long Yun was slightly stunned at first, and then thought that there was no one else here anyway, and besides, what he was trying to hide was the secret mission assigned by the "organization", not the reality of being a Chinese volunteer, so he immediately answered without hesitation, which was equivalent to admitting this. And sitting across the table was Jihad Fasher. Seeing the young man with an oriental face in front of him, he readily admitted that it was quite in line with his temperament. A knowing smile appeared on the mustachioed face:

"Huh! yes, I thought it was right, but I didn't mention it to anyone else, of course.

Before meeting you today, our Revolutionary Air Force has often paid attention to the situation of NATA, especially the 'Independent Third Squadron' to which you belong, and we also know that this unit is full of volunteer pilots from different countries, and their technical level and combat quality are very commendable—this is not a compliment, friend, what I am talking about is the true opinion of our people.

Then, for your nickname 'Red Dragon', and the famous 'Green Dragon' in the Middle East sky before, I also know a little bit about Oriental culture, I guess you are from China, and that Mr. 'Green Dragon' should also be, you are all volunteers from the East to support the struggle of the people in the Middle East, and now it seems that I still guessed correctly. ”

The two continued to talk in Russian, but Jihad El Fasher's expression was already a little different, as a member of the Syrian government army, the SRAF's number one ace was clearly quite friendly to the alliance of Eastern states; After all, in retrospect, when Syria was mired in civil strife and internal and external difficulties, there were not many countries that extended a helping hand and were not eager to ask for something in return.

Now that their identities have been revealed, there is no more estrangement between them, and Long Yun, whose consciousness is snooping in his hand, can easily figure out the meaning of Farsher.

Just in the last few days, SRAF has received instructions from Damascus that several major powers are gathering forces in the Middle East and are likely to intervene in the Middle East. But even on holidays, Jihad El Fasher usually works as an instructor at an air base near Damascus, and today is considered a busy day, and he did not have the instructions of his superiors or any tasks for this operation.

Chatting with the NATA pilot in front of him, talking about the fighter sequence of the Syrian Revolutionary Air Force, Jihad El Fasher praised the J-10A/AS fighter aircraft equipped by SRAF, saying that this is a very powerful air combat vehicle in the Middle East theater.

As he spoke, the ace lieutenant colonel also showed a trace of worry, he knew that the normal trade of fourth-generation fighters had been allowed in the world, but it was still limited to medium-sized aircraft, and it was easy for Syria to get the J-21 "Swift Dragon" or J-31 "Falcon Eagle" from the Eastern Nations Alliance, and maintain a rough balance of the main battle equipment of the Air Force with the old enemy Israel; But now the country is mired in civil strife, not only financially stretched but also sanctioned, and now several fighter squadrons have suffered heavy losses in equipment, and it is not known when the SRAF will be reequipped.

Expressing concern about weapons and equipment, and thinking of the bizarre rumors that have recently spread in the Middle East and added to the fire today, Jihad El Fasher asked Long Yun:

"Oh, Mr. 'Red Dragon', you just described yesterday's combat experience, mentioning that you and your partner encountered the rebels' 'ghost', that is, YF-23, is there such a thing?"

"Yes,—— I'm not entirely sure, but the silhouette looks very similar."

Thinking about yesterday's fierce battle experience, and sweating for the "kvass" who fell one step earlier, Long Yun replied a little half-heartedly. However, after hearing the lieutenant colonel's next words and thinking about it for a while, he immediately put on this string and realized what the problem was, and felt that this matter was absolutely extraordinary, or it was a strong strange atmosphere:

"So, Mr. El Fasher, you just mentioned a piece of news that 'the United States is providing stealth fighters to the Syrian Liberal Party'...... If so, were the ones I saw with my own eyes yesterday sold by the Americans to the rebels? But — it's simply impossible, Mr. El Fasher, you must also know the attitude of the United States towards the Liberal Party, and the international community is now almost all in favor of your government, and on the side of the New Iraqi Party, and they have no reason to do that, do they? ”

"Yes, Mr. 'Red Dragon', I think so, too."

Speaking of topics related to air combat and fighter planes, Farsher's expression became stern and serious, "Although the Americans have not been friendly to our country in history, it is a well-known fact that the biggest threat to peace in the Middle East is obviously the Liberal Party.

But on the other hand, Mr. 'Red Dragon', not only did you see the 'ghost' with your own eyes during the battle, but our young men of the Revolutionary Air Force also reported many times that 'black stealth fighters were discovered', and other parties have already had some similar descriptions. This shows that the Liberal Air Force does now have some kind of stealth fighters, as for the model, it doesn't matter, in short, this is a very troublesome situation, if you consider who is secretly providing these fighters, then the situation should be said to be more delicate. ”

"What do you mean, Mr. El Fasher...... Still suspicious of the Americans? ”

Hearing that Jihad Farsher had something to say, and he was also very keen to point out the problem, Long Yun shook his head blankly, he really didn't think that the Americans would risk the world's condemnation and deliver "ghost" fighters to the Syrian Liberals in the civil war - to put it bluntly, they have the courage to do this, but the state has always acted for profit, and this kind of thing is not good for the United States at all, how can they commit such stupidity?

However, thinking like this, Long Yun now has to face the same paradox as Farsher, that is, "the Liberal Party does have a stealth fighter, and the model is basically confirmed to be YF-23".

According to the lieutenant colonel, since this morning, the media of various countries and the Internet have begun to break the news, and a large amount of evidence shows that the FSA is indeed equipped with a black stealth fighter such as "Ghost"; However, it is clear that Syria in the civil war will never have the conditions for the development and production of such fighters, so the conclusion can be said to be obvious, there is only one country in the world that can manufacture YF-23 "ghosts" and can deliver them in batches.

In the face of the young man's question, the steady Jihad Fasher hesitated slightly, obviously thinking of his own identity and should not say something without definite evidence; However, on this kind of casual occasion, it is not a big deal to be straightforward, so he still nodded:

"If there is no conclusive evidence, I personally would not conclude that they did it; But, how to say, now that the evidence is very obvious, how can it not be suspicious? All in all, this is very strict, and I think the Security Council will soon do its best to investigate and make sure to come up with a convincing statement. (To be continued......)
