However, what is the difference between such an Iran and its destruction?Khomeini was unwilling to turn Iran, which he had worked so hard for, into a puppet. The Soviet Union would definitely ask to station troops in Iran to attack the Afghan guerrillas from the side.

There should be other ways!Khomeini was thinking hard.

Gradually, an idea came to mind: If the Americans dare to take the initiative to challenge, then Iran will not hesitate to expose their weapon-for-hostage exchange this time!

Up to now, the exchange of weapons and hostages is still top secret. Under the aura of Khomeini personally helping the Americans negotiate with the hijackers, there is no shame.

The United States is different from Iran. It is a mínzhǔ country. The president is elected by the people and can only serve a four-year term.

This exchange of weapons and hostages is definitely an unspeakable matter for the United States. If Reagan dared to use force against Iran, then Iran would not hesitate to expose the whole matter. You know, Americans hate it very much* * In the end, it can only end up in the exchange of weapons for hostages. In this way, although Iran has a bad reputation internationally, anyway, Western countries have always hated Iran. For Iran, it doesn't matter. For Reagan, I am afraid that the approval rating will drop sharply, and finally end up like Carter.

Iran will definitely stand upright on the land of the Middle East and never fall down for thousands of years!

Khomeini walked out of the room and went to the yard outside. Suddenly, he felt something cold go into his neck, and then melted away.

Khomeini raised his head and saw snowflakes all over the sky.

Snowing!

Great, it's snowing!Khomeini shouted in his heart, thank God, you have given this heavy snow and hope to Iran!

Iraq, Baghdad.

In the Palace of the Republic, the atmosphere is very harmonious, and the most eye-catching person is undoubtedly the most popular recently His Excellency Qusay.

On the large conference table, Saddam Hussein, the great leader of Iraq, was sitting in the middle. Next to him was His Excellency Qusay of the Southern Military Region. This was a commendation meeting.

"This time, the Southern Military Region airstrikes Tehran. Our MiG-25 reconnaissance plane took photos of the Tehran Air Force Base the next day. The entire base has become a ruin, and all key objects have been bombed destructively. The air force dispatched by the Southern Military Region has all returned safely, and the air threat of the Iranians has been eliminated." Air Force Commander Abed said.

"Yeah, the Southern Military Region did a great job this time." Adnan also said.

"It's all because of the good leadership of the president," Zhang Feng said.

"Qusay, don't be humble." Saddam said, "We didn't ask you to be humble this time. The air strike on Tehran opened our eyes. Tell these people about the battle."

Saddam was grateful for the victory of the Southern Military Region. This time, Khomeini's air force was disabled, which is definitely good news for Iraq.

"We planned very carefully. First of all, the first wave of attacks blew up Iran's key radars, anti-aircraft missiles and other equipment, creating conditions for the entry of subsequent fleets. We mainly use precision attack ammunition to carry out key strikes, and , and chose five o’clock in the afternoon when the Iranians were most relaxed in their defense.” Zhang Feng briefly introduced, in fact, these things had already been reported to the president, and he just said briefly.

"It seems that our investment is not wrong. The performance of choosing this kind of American-made aircraft is very good." Saddam said.

"Yes, Your Excellency, the electronic equipment of American aircraft is very good, and the radar fire control is advanced. Our pilots are very satisfied with this aircraft in combat." Zhang Feng also said.

"How many planes can the production line in Basra produce in a year?" Saddam then asked.

As soon as Zhang Feng heard it, he knew that his father was tempted.

"It is still in trial production, and the progress is relatively slow. After one or two years of maturity, there will be a production capacity of about [-] aircraft per year." Zhang Feng said.

so little?Saddam frowned. Abid had already asked him for instructions, hoping to equip this kind of aircraft. It seems that he still has to wait for a long time.

Zhang Feng deliberately slowed down the progress, also to prevent his father from opening his mouth to come, and he had to give it.

"Your Excellency, in fact, this fighter is only a light fighter. Although it has shown good performance, it still cannot compete with the Iranian Tomcat. If it is not for destroying the Iranian fighter on the ground, we still have no One hundred percent sure to compete with the Iranians for air supremacy," Zhang Feng said.

Saddam was in a good mood, and signaled to Zhang Feng to continue talking.

"In France, there is already a heavy-duty fighter under development. If we can buy this kind of fighter, its performance will be greatly improved, not only against the Iranians, but also against the Israeli F-15. " Zhang Feng said.

People's cognition will be influenced subtly. In the beginning, Zhang Feng didn't mention this kind of fighter jet, that's because the time has not come yet. Now, if he mentions it to Dad, he should agree.

O French dream!

"Oh?" Saddam was very interested: "Are you talking about the French Mirage 2000?"

The equipment of the Iraqi Air Force, in addition to Soviet-made equipment, is legal. Therefore, Saddam is also very familiar with French fighter planes.

"It's not Mirage 2000, it's Mirage 4000. Your Excellency, the skies of Iraq need a heavy-duty air superiority fighter. Although we only have such a large land area now, I believe that we will definitely have great development. We will With vast land, we will also have a long coastline, a heavy long-range air superiority fighter, we are very much in need."

Zhang Feng's words moved him deeply, because they brought back Saddam Hussein's great power plot.

He hopes to build a powerful Middle Eastern country in his lifetime!

And now, this wish is being realized little by little.

"Okay, Qusay, come down and talk to Dassault about the introduction of this fighter," Saddam said.

talk?We have talked about it a long time ago, Zhang Feng thought in his heart, but with the president's consent, it will be easier to deal with France.

Heavy air fighter, this is what Zhang Feng has been pursuing.

"Qusay, talk about your views on the northern military region's attack on Bakhtaran." Saddam said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Zhang Feng with expectant eyes, and those eyes definitely did not expect him to say anything.

Zhang Feng is also very big-headed, what should I say about this kind of thing?

From a strategic point of view, taking Bakhtaran and occupying the Iranian plateau is a military operation of great strategic significance. However, the timing is absolutely inappropriate. It is winter, and the climate of the Iranian plateau is not something that Iraqis who are accustomed to the hot desert can do. bearable.

If in a few months, wait until spring, the timing will be even better.

What's more terrible is that when the old man asks this question, he just hopes to get an affirmative answer. If he raises a different opinion, it will definitely disappoint the old man. Saddam is not a person who can listen to bad advice. Of course, Zhang Feng also Absolutely not.

"The Iranian Plateau is of great strategic value, and our operation is very necessary," Zhang Feng said.

At this time, a senior staff member quietly came to Adnan's side and handed him a document.

Adnan read it, and immediately changed his face. He looked at the people around him and said: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General Hazraj has an urgent call ahead. There is heavy snowfall on the Iranian plateau, and the temperature suddenly drops. Our army, We will face the danger of severe cold. Moreover, the Iranians have been making quite frequent tentative attacks these days, Lieutenant General Hazraj believes that the Iranians may launch a large-scale counterattack!"

Even President Saddam, who was talking and laughing just now, immediately became serious.

Chapter 363 The United States Was Blackmailed

"President, we're in trouble," CIA Director William Casey told President Reagan.

"Is it about the hostages?" President Reagan said.

"Yes." Casey said very worriedly: "This morning when our reconnaissance satellite took pictures of the sky over Tabriz again, we found that the convoy carrying our hostages suddenly disappeared."

The United States has always been paying attention to the hostages. Although it is said that the hostages will be sent to Turkey by road, the US reconnaissance satellites have adjusted their orbits. Every two hours, a satellite will pass over the sky and take high-definition photos. Come down, so as to know whether their walking process is smooth.

However, unexpectedly, when the hostages were about to arrive in Tabriz, something happened. The convoy suddenly disappeared!

After being attacked, the hostages quickly left the battlefield under the protection of Hassar and members of the special forces, and the Iranians who followed immediately cleaned up the battlefield. Those convoys had been blown up, so naturally disappeared.

"Contact McFarlane immediately," Reagan said.

"I've been in touch a long time ago, but I haven't been able to get in touch." Casey said.
