In the last year, Dr. Bull moved to Belgium to continue his research on artillery technology.

After Qusay learned that the artillery expert had arrived in Belgium, he immediately ordered Director Yurid of the Mesiha Bureau to personally dispatch this talent to try to lure him to Iraq.

You can ask him any conditions, if he doesn't agree, then, no matter what method you use, get him here first!

Yourid's Mesiha Bureau has now gradually expanded from the Middle East, and there are also intelligence agencies in Western Europe. In addition to conducting intelligence work, their amateur task is to collect talents for His Excellency Qusay!

Many of those Arab professors, experts, and even skilled technicians were invited back to Iraq by the Messiah Bureau to contribute to Iraq's industrialization.

As for those who are not of Iraqi nationality, His Excellency Qusay selects those who are very outstanding but unsatisfactory, such as Joseph, such as Dr. Bull, and let them work hard for Iraq under the double temptation of Iraq's high salary and the realization of their ideals.

"Are you Iraqi?" asked Dr. Bull.

Urid was startled. This Dr. Boolean not only knows how to study cannons, but also people?However, as the director of the Messiah Bureau, as the number one intelligence officer under His Excellency Qusay, Dr. Bull has long since become calm.

"Do you think I look like an Iraqi?" Yourid asked. After receiving such an answer, most people would ask back: How do you know?That undoubtedly shows that the other party's statement is correct.

"I didn't look at it, but I guessed it. Just two days ago, another group of Middle Easterners came." Dr. Bull said.

Another group of people?Yourid had an ominous premonition in his heart: "Could it be Iranian?"

Dr. Bull nodded.

"I believe that you will definitely not choose to cooperate with them." Urid said.

"How do you know I won't?"

"Because you have seen what the Iranians are doing. They are now blocking the Strait of Hormuz with mines. The whole world has been messed up by the Iranians. A person with such a sense of justice as you will definitely not choose to cooperate with them." ’” Yurid said.

Dr. Bull shook his head. The other party’s words were not quite correct. He did not cooperate with the Iranians because Iran did not have suitable industrial conditions at all. The Iranians bought all their weapons, even a small arms manufacturing factory No.

Because he declined the Iranians a few days ago, when Dr. Bull saw the Middle Easterners who came again, he could quickly think of Iraq, Iran's deadly enemy.

"Dr. Bull, we in Iraq cordially invite you to be our technical advisor and help us improve our existing cannons and develop brand new howitzers." Urid said, since all the Iranians have come, he must also show all his cards. Otherwise, if Dr. Bull is invited away by the Iranians, the consequences will be very serious.

Dr. Bull knows that Iraq has undergone great changes at present, and many advanced equipment and supporting industrial equipment have been introduced to produce raw materials.That said, Iraq has a large industrial base.

However, Dr. Bull is not willing to be invited away by the Iraqis, and he wants to develop in the West.

"Moreover, our boss is very interested in your super cannon. If you are willing to be our technical consultant, in addition to getting a good salary, we in Iraq will also provide funds to help you continue your research in Iraq. Our superiors very much hope to see that within a few years, launching satellites from cannons will become a reality." Urid said.

Launching satellites with cannons has always been a dream of Dr. Bull, but now, the dream is far away, and he simply does not have enough funds to carry out his research.

And Iraq is willing to fund his research, which makes Dr. Bull think. Iraq already has basic industries, advanced processing methods, and sufficient funds. Dr. Bull’s research may really continue in Iraq. go down.

However, after experiencing the encounter in North America last time, he was still a little vigilant, and he said, "Let me think about it first!"

Yourid has already seen a hint of willingness from the other party's eyes, but the other party still refuses, and Yourid knows that he should put some pressure on him.

"Dr. Bull, you just said that the Iranians came here a few days ago?"

"Yes."

"Then, you must be careful. The Iranians are never unreasonable. If you disagree with them, they are likely to use various means." Yourid said.

"What means?"

"The last time a U.S. civil airliner was hijacked by the Iranians, any international law is not valid for them." Yourid said: "Since you rejected them, they will definitely not let you go. "

Dr. Bull remembered that after rejecting those people last time, one of them really made a threatening move, but was ignored by Dr. Bull.

Thinking of the rumors in the world, Dr. Bull believes that the Iranians will really do that.

Yourid has already planned in his heart, if Dr. Bull doesn't agree, he doesn't care about directing a wonderful scene of Iranians attacking Dr. Bull in this foreign country.

"Who is your boss, and is he really, really willing to support the Super Cannon?" asked Dr. Bull.

Yourid was overjoyed: "It is the God of War in Iraq, Your Excellency Qusay!"

Chapter 475 Returning to the body in the way of others

When the sun rose from the sea, the Persian Gulf became lively again, and the mine-sweeping formation started a new mine-sweeping operation. Today, a one-way channel for ships to pass can be opened, and then, the minesweeping back from the outside will be completed. It is possible to open up enough safe waterways for two-way navigation.

No one knows that the Iranian minelayer that was hit in the battle last night has disappeared, leaving only some wreckage on the sea.

The sun shone on the turbulent sea, spreading golden light over the entire Persian Gulf. On an Iraqi oil tanker, three medium-sized helicopters were quietly parked there.On the deck next to the helicopter, some people were lazily lying on the deck, looking at the white clouds in the sky.

"Last night was really unlucky. I patrolled for four hours and found nothing. Why didn't I catch up with the Iranian mine-laying operation? What does it feel like to launch a missile?" said a pilot lying on the ground.

Last night, only the second patrolling helicopter fired a missile and hit an Iranian minelaying boat. While the other boat was fleeing back, it ended up entering a minefield and hit a minefield itself. Casualties, and then, no Iranian minelayers were found.

This made the pilots of the third helicopter very upset, they were the last to take off, and they cruised until dawn, seeing nothing, and they were very upset that no Iranians came to kill them.

"I don't feel anything. Fortunately, I closed my eyes when I fired, otherwise, I would definitely be temporarily blind for a few seconds." The pilot said.

In the dark night, people's pupils will dilate, and wearing night vision goggles will affect the viewing of the densely packed instruments in the cabin. The light when the missile is launched is too strong, so when the missile is launched, the pilot is very In time, he closed his eyes.

"Okay, we should go." Seeing that the tanker has entered the Strait of Hormuz, they need to fly to the nearest base on the island of Oman to replenish fuel and check the plane.

Although he did not agree to the request of His Excellency Qusay of Iraq to build a large radar station on the island, Oman also made concessions, allowing Iraqi helicopters to patrol the Strait of Hormuz to conduct aerial inspections based on the Oman Peninsula. It is also for the safety of the Strait of Hormuz.

This retreat of Oman has already moved other Arab countries, because Oman does not need to use the Strait of Hormuz, and its coastline is all outside the Arabian Sea. Oman does this entirely for the rest of the Persian Gulf. national interest.

Therefore, although Qusay was rejected, he was not unhappy at all. A few helicopters were stationed there, which can be regarded as the beginning of the deployment of military force. Oman refused, and the big deal would be to take it from Iran in the future.

In Baghdad, Qusay has been paying attention to the situation in the Persian Gulf. Whether he can crush the Iranian mine warfare is the most important thing at this stage.

With the victory of the war on land, the Iraqis are full of optimism, thinking that Iran can't last long, and the Khomeini regime will soon collapse. However, the Iranians blocked the Strait of Hormuz, which has brought great pressure on the entire Persian Gulf countries. It has caused a lot of passiveness, so we must also gain the initiative at sea, so that Iraq can completely grasp all the initiative.

"Your Excellency Qusay, Prince Sultan has called." A secretary said.

Because of the cooperation between the two parties in the Strait of Hormuz, Prince Sultan often communicates with Qusay, and even comes in person when encountering important matters.

"Come in for me," Qusay said.

Picking up the phone, Prince Sultan's hearty laughter came from inside: "Qusay, Iraq has helped a lot in clearing the Iranian mines this time. Now, our waterway has been opened. The first batch of cargo ships, It has now sailed out of the Strait of Hormuz and into the Arabian Sea."

No wonder he was so happy. Qusay said: "We are all Gulf countries, and we should do these things. We are both Arab brothers. Iraq is very willing to serve the surrounding countries."

Hearing Qusay's answer, Prince Sultan said: "Iraq has made a great effort this time. We will discuss it at the meeting of the Arab League and continue to provide a batch of funds to help Iraq's just cause."

When Iraq was fighting such a tense land war, it allocated a part of its forces for maritime escort, and did such a good job. The Gulf countries are very rich, so it is normal to give Iraq some funds. .

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness." Qusay said, "However, we are only in emergency now. We can easily find the Iranians during the day, but at night, the Iranians will dispatch small boats to rearrange the mines at any time. Our Super Hornet helicopter, only It can solve the recent situation, but if it is used in this way for a long time, I am afraid it will not work.”

Helicopters have a service life. If they fly every night, they are absolutely super-strength. The airframe will reach the end of its service life in a few years. It is not that Iraq is stingy, but that this is not a complete solution.

"We need an early warning aircraft that can stay empty for a long time, and monitor the entire Strait of Hormuz, and even the entire Persian Gulf." Qu Sai suddenly said such a sentence.
