The Americans' countermeasures have been discussed?Qusay knew that he had to be careful this time.

The US ambassador to Iraq, Brightman, was a little puzzled after receiving the government's reply, but he still came to see Qusay according to the high-level intention.

Ordinarily, the president of Iraq was still Saddam Hussein at this time, but now Saddam has transferred many powers to Qusay. It would be more appropriate to talk to Qusay, that Saddam Hussein seems to have been emptied out, Brightman thought of those rumors, and wondered if it was true.

Unexpectedly, Qusay had already gone to Basra, so Brightman had to wait in the reception room of the Palace of the Republic.

However, His Excellency Qusay was very timely. After receiving the news of Brightman's visit, His Excellency Qusay returned to Baghdad immediately.

Qusay knew that he had to show his attitude now to prove that Iraq really didn't want to do that in the accidental attack.

What can you do about an accidental hit?The United States at this time is far less domineering than in the unipolar world of later generations.

Brightman was very happy to see Qusay back.

"Your Excellency Qusay, I am very sorry for calling you back from the front urgently," Brightman said.

"It doesn't matter, I attach great importance to American friends." Qusay said.

"I'm here this time because of the accidental strike between our two countries in the outer airspace of the Strait of Hormuz last time," Brightman said.

Hearing the word "misshot incident", Qusay felt relieved, proving that the Americans had admitted that it was a misfired incident, so it would be easy to deal with it.

However, after thinking about it, it is not so easy to make Lao Mei bow her head. Now that they have voluntarily admitted that it was a mistake, then, I am afraid that the other party has other ideas.

"Yes, we in Iraq are very sorry for this misfire incident." Qusay said, in short, this time it was a misfire incident, which is already definite and correct.

In fact, when Qusay issued that order, Qusay already knew that what was there was the Tomcat fighter jet of the US Navy.

The reason is simple. If Iran had more Tomcat fighters, it would have already been deployed on the western front to compete with Iraq for air supremacy.

To shoot down the U.S. Navy fighter plane, Qusay had already thought of a countermeasure in that very short period of time. This is the Arab world, and the U.S. Navy must not be allowed to intervene!Let them know that if you want to extend your power here, you have to pay a price.If you know that it is an American fighter plane, then obediently let them fly in in a big way, that is absolutely impossible!

Therefore, no matter whose fighter it is, as long as it poses a threat to our own side, we must shoot down the opponent without hesitation!

But now, it is absolutely impossible to turn against the United States. Therefore, after shooting down the opponent's fighter plane, they kept saying that it was a mistaken attack, which made the Americans lose their temper.

"Yes, so, in order to prevent future misfire incidents from happening again." Brightman said: "We, the United States, have proposed a solution."

As long as you don't come in, there will be no misfire incidents, Qusay thought, but said: "Please tell me."

"In the future, every time Iraq conducts air raids on the Strait of Hormuz, it will notify our navy. We can take off an early warning plane to provide more effective command for Iraq's air strikes. In this way, it will naturally not happen. Another misfire," Brightman said.

While speaking, Brightman looked at Qusay's expression. After all, Qusay was a young man, so it was easy to see his reaction from his face and guess what was going on in his heart.

This is a test by the United States, a test of Qusay's psychological bottom line.

If Qusay agrees, then American forces can easily enter the Persian Gulf. If Qusay does not agree, then, although it was a mistake, this matter can be big or small.The United States will exert strong political pressure, and at the same time, those projects in military cooperation can also be temporarily terminated.

There was no expression on Qusay's face, although he already knew about the Americans' conspiracy after hearing half of it, and at the same time, he also knew that his plan was still incomplete.

Because, with his time travel, history has changed after all.

In the ship attack battle in the Iran-Iraq War in the previous life, the Iranian army was still very strong at that time, and the United States fully supported Iraq. When the Exocet missiles were used to attack the frigate of the US Navy for the first time, the US Navy still regarded them as The friendly army was not vigilant at all, and after the mistaken attack, in order to continue to support Saddam in attacking Khomeini, the United States had no choice but to let it go.

But it's different now. Khomeini was beaten miserably by himself, and even the province of Khuzestan was robbed. It would be impossible for the United States to fully support him under such circumstances.

They want to intervene here.

For every air strike by the Iraqi Air Force, the U.S. Navy needs to be notified in advance, and even the U.S. early warning plane is required to direct it. Doesn’t this mean that the Iraqi Air Force should be vassalized by the U.S.?

It seems that President Reagan really dared to think about it!Qusay thought to himself, but you should know that Iraq is never afraid.

"Your country's proposal is very good." Qu Sai said: "It's just that this is too troublesome, and we have a better proposal."

Better offer?After saying these words, Brightman was already imagining that His Excellency Qusay might be angered, but he did not expect that the other party would actually say such a sentence.

"I wonder if Your Excellency Qusay has any suggestions?" Brightman asked.

"This accident was caused by the fact that we didn't know that it was a U.S. Navy fighter plane and thought it belonged to the Iranians. Therefore, you only need to provide us with the password of your IFF, and we load it into our own In this way, it is natural to know whether the plane flying opposite is a friendly plane or an enemy plane." Qusay said, without any emotion in his words.

The IFF is an electronic device installed on an aircraft to identify the attributes of the target detected by the radar. When it receives an interrogation signal from its own side, it can automatically answer a set of coded signals for identification by the inquiring side. The identified target sends out an inquiry signal, and according to whether the other party has an answer signal, or whether the answer signal is the same as the predetermined password, the attribute of friend or foe is judged.

The frequency and password of the IFF device have always been very confidential. Once the secret is leaked, all fighters, warships, tanks and other weapons and equipment must be replaced with electronic keys. Although the hardware will not be changed, it is still quite a big deal. a physical labor.

Leaking the password to Iraq, what an international joke!

"This is absolutely impossible." Brightman said: "Your Excellency Qusay, you also know that it is simply impossible. You have no sincerity to solve this misfire incident at all!"

Brightman couldn't hold his breath for a while.

We have no sincerity?We are sincere in handing over the command of the army to you?Follow the command of your pre-warning machine, do you think we are puppets?

However, Qusay did not say that. As a politician, one must have self-cultivation. Qusay still said calmly: "What's wrong with this? Aren't we friendly forces? We have already cooperated with Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates. All intercommunicated IFF devices, and at the same time, we are also preparing to plan an exercise in the near future.”

When Brightman heard this, he felt bad. Those are all Arab countries. What kind of exercises are they planning?

"I wonder if you can tell me what exercises your country is planning to conduct?"

"The combination of sea and air will protect the safety of sea transportation lines, and at the same time, strike against possible air and sea threats," Qusay said.

I just reached an agreement with Prince Sultan, and it finally comes in handy here. Since Saudi Arabia has agreed to include Kuwait, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, there is absolutely no problem. The project of the exercise is to protect the sea transportation line. Security is good for all countries. Their own air force has made great efforts, and they should be willing to cooperate. Moreover, if there is another attack on sea and air threats, those countries will think that they are attacking Iran's sea and air threats, but , Americans definitely don't think so.

Chapter 462 This is the world of Arabs

Brightman looked at the young man in front of him, and knew that the wishful thinking of the top executives of the US government was wrong.

The United States can exert pressure on Iraq, but it cannot target the entire Arab world.In particular, there are major oil-producing countries Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

If Saudi Arabia and Kuwait take the initiative to invite, the United States can officially enter the Persian Gulf, but now, the United States is sitting on the bench, and no one is targeting the United States.

Maybe, you can think of another way!Brightman made his own claim and said, "Well, since it's a joint sea-air exercise, can the U.S. Navy participate?"

"It's absolutely possible." Qusay said, "However, the United States must first join the Arab League."

The League of Arab States is a regional international organization established to strengthen the unity and cooperation of Arab countries, referred to as the Arab League or the Arab League.It was born in March 1945, when representatives of Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Yemen held a meeting in Cairo, and adopted the Treaty of the League of Arab States, announcing the establishment of the League. After that, other Arab countries Countries are gradually joining in.The purpose of the Arab League is to strengthen close cooperation among member states, safeguard the dúlì and sovereignty of Arab countries, and coordinate each other's activities.

Originally, Egypt was the boss without any surprises, but Egypt privately held peace talks with Israel, was scoffed at by other Arab countries, and was also expelled from the Arab League. Now, in the Arab League, Saudi Arabia and Iraq have faintly The mood of the leader.

"Why?" Brightman asked. It is absolutely impossible for the United States to join the Arab League.

"Because this is a coordinated exercise of our Arab League." Qusay said: "Mr. Ambassador, I hope you can understand that this is the world of our Arabs, and we ourselves are fully capable of defending our own security. , I really don’t need to bother your country’s navy, first thank your country’s government for me.”

What Qusay said made Brightman very embarrassed. However, as a diplomat, he still has the necessary self-cultivation. What Qusay means is that he absolutely does not want the United States to intervene in the affairs of the Gulf?

It seems that the United States needs to put some pressure on him.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Qusay, it seems that we can't reach an agreement on these issues." Brightman said, he has to report these things to the zhèngfǔ to see what the zhèngfǔ countermeasures are.
