Chapter 119 Lobbying Basra

After lobbying the senior Kuwait military leaders over and over again, the other party still showed a cold behavior. The sales team sent by Northrop felt hopeless and began to move the battlefield and prepare to lobby the Iraqi Air Force.

Iraq and Iran are fighting. Since the Iranian air force is equipped with powerful Tomcat fighters, the Iraqi air force is at a disadvantage. The Soviet-made fighters have always been sturdy and durable. The fire control system is backward and cannot compete with Tomcats at all. The only point-like fighter is the Mirage F1 fighter imported from France, equipped with the new radar developed by France, and combined with the Super Matt 530 medium-range missile, it poses a certain threat to Tomcats.[]

However, compared with the F-20, this type of fighter still seems very backward. The Phantom F1's radar still has many unsolvable technical problems, and the medium-range missile is not advanced enough.

The advanced Apg-67 radar, combined with the Sparrow medium-range air-to-air missile, can completely deal a heavy blow to the Tomcat. Although the size is small, the F-20's ammunition capacity is limited, but this just makes the radar features smaller, and it is small and flexible, and will not be at a disadvantage in close combat. Although the combat radius is short, the Iraqi territory is not deep, so Fred and Kashen are full of confidence in this trip to Iraq.

The only problem is that Iraq is a traditional Soviet-style equipment country. If they are equipped with American fighter jets, there will probably be great resistance. There will definitely be diehards in the army.

So, Fred originally wanted to go to Baghdad in person, but he changed his mind halfway and first went to the Southern Military Region to meet the Iraqi combat hero, the great Lord Kusai.

Because when Fred was sorting out the information in the Middle East, he suddenly discovered that the youngest son of Iraqi President Saddam was called a military genius by the outside world. Although the US military did not agree with this, Fred discovered that His Excellency Kusai attached great importance to the role of the air force, especially in the Battle of Abadan, where Iran's elite legion fell into the bombardment in the air.

It is much easier to lobby such a person than to directly lobby for senior Iraqi military leaders or even President Saddam. After all, this person has just joined the army and is full of energy and is prone to getting hot-headed. At that time, it will be much easier for him to lobby for other military personnel or even President Saddam.

Thinking of the company's self-raised funds and developed fighter jets, the US military did not have any equipment. If there was no sales, it would be completely failed. Fred was even more full of expectations for this trip.

The plane landed at Basra Airport. Fred was very excited to see some soldiers in the Southern Military Region waiting for him at the airport.

Since the other party has set up a show to greet him, there may be a chance this time!

Fred happily greeted him.

"Hello, welcome to Iraq, my American friend." The other party walked out and said, "I am a staff officer in the Southern Military Region. I am here to welcome your arrival at the order of the head of the Military Region." He spoke fluent English.

The news that Fred was coming had already contacted Iraq through the embassy in advance. Therefore, when I learned that I was coming to the Southern Military Region, Izhat sent one of his English-speaking staff and took a few people to the airport to greet him.

"Thank you," Fred said: "We come to this great country with sincere respect, and hope that we can cooperate and support the sky of Iraq."

After the greetings, the staff officer took them into the car and took them to the Basra Hotel.

At the same time, Zhang Feng also received news, so he had to put down his work and prepare to meet these people from the United States.

General Adam just said his name and position, and he refused to speak again. After Zhang Feng learned about his identity, he felt that he had great value in use, but he still didn't think about how to use it. It would be very difficult to find out the inside story of the Israeli military from him, so he had to give up for the time being.

Although the big bosses came to the stage in the end, after learning that the Northrop company's people came, Zhang Feng could no longer pretend to be reserved. He knew that the value of these fighter jets would be of great benefit to the Iraqi army if they could be obtained by him.

Although Zhang Feng knew that such a thing was too anxious, he walked out of the cell and drove to the hotel.

In a hall at the Basra Hotel, the highest commander of the Southern Military Region, the commander of the Military Region, and the Chief of Staff, Fat Harad, met with the representatives of the Northrop Company.

During the Iraq-Iraq War, the United States has always been on Iraq's side, cutting off all Iran's sources of weapons and accessories. This action won Iraq's favor. This time the other party came to sell fighter jets, and the Southern Military Region gave the other party a lot of face. Even the military commander personally participated in the reception.

Fred felt even more excited by being received, especially when the hotel was held in the Western-style party similar to the United States, which made the group of people traveling in the desert feel the warmth of returning to the United States.

"I hope everyone knows that in Iraq, alcohol ban is implemented, so this time I prepare drinks such as Coca-Cola. Now, let us raise our glasses to celebrate American friends who have come from afar." Izart said.

Although Iraq implements alcohol ban, drinking is not a strange thing in the top management. For example, the eldest young master Wu Dai likes to drink heavily. However, in such public places, you still have to take into account customs.

I heard that there was no alcohol to drink, and the delegation felt a little disappointed. Since it was a hotel, why didn’t there be alcohol? But they knew that there was indeed such a custom here, so they had to raise the wine glasses filled with drinks and express their gratitude to the senior officials of the Southern Military Region.

Zhang Feng drove to the hotel and heard the noise inside. He was about to go in, but suddenly stopped.

I'm too impatient!

Big people will always appear in the end. I sent someone to pick them up today, but I actually miscalculated it. They should take the initiative to find them. In this way, the initiative can be taken into his own hands. Zhang Feng knew that this was the etiquette from the Eastern Kingdom in his previous life, and asked him to treat the other party so thoughtfully. However, will the other party think that he would ask them for a high price?

The initiative must be in his own hands. Zhang Feng thought that he should leave them alone for a while. In later generations, he has experienced the domineering nature of this bureaucratic style.

Suddenly, Zhang Feng smiled again. He knew that none of the fighter jets from Northrop were sold. Regardless of whether he was enthusiastic or not, the initiative was in his own hands. They could only agree to the conditions he had put forward! Otherwise, Zhang Feng would rather choose something else than consider. If there were too many restrictions on choosing American weapons, he would not be able to tie his own hands and feet.

Thinking of this, Zhang Feng walked in.
