Chapter 123 Convince Saddam (1)
Looking at the backs of the two company executives going out, Zhang Feng knew that his bargaining chips had been released this time, and it depends entirely on the other party's.
"Kusai, do we really want to import production lines for this kind of aircraft?" Izart asked.[]
Zhang Feng knew that this was also the main problem he was about to lobby Saddam. In this era, most people thought that it would be enough to buy back weapons.
However, advanced weapons can be bought back, and advanced national defense is definitely not something you can buy! In this world, if you want to import some weapons and equipment, you will become a military power, which is completely a dream.
True national defense is entirely built on one's own.
Thinking about China, I was poor and careless, but after completing the first five-year plan, it became a basic industrial country. Although all kinds of weapons and equipment were imported, they almost all were imported and then copied. In the end, they could develop it themselves. They became a military power by purely importing and assembling. For example, the Indian San in the south, who was in the south, was a tiger but failed to become a dog. When importing, they were still fraudulent and maliciously raised the price. A broken aircraft carrier was sold at a sky-high price.
Iraq, the fourth military power in the world that boasts about, actually has no confidence at all. A country that can only produce a spending similar to the AK74 assault rifle is not worthy of being called a military power.
Therefore, Zhang Feng’s goal is to build various Iraqi systems and be able to produce various weapons, off-road trucks, infantry fighting vehicles, tanks, aircraft, and cannons.
Now, with such an opportunity to introduce the most advanced industrial countries and the production lines of the United States, Zhang Feng will never give up this opportunity. In this way, he can completely increase Iraq's industry to a higher level and let Iraq's senior figures see that the modernization they advocate is far from the real difference.
"Yes, if we can introduce it, then, I dare say, even if we spend twice the extra price, we will make a profit." Zhang Feng said: "If they still stay in Basra these days, then treat them well. I need to go to Baghdad to report the situation here to the president." Zhang Feng said.
With the start of the Abadan Petroleum Plant, Iraq's funds will begin to become sufficient. Using these funds to carry out industrial construction and strong national defense forces, Zhang Feng is very confident that Saddam will agree to him do so.
The negotiations with Kuwait were completed, and Tarik and Shikmat immediately nervously entered the production of the refinery. The oil pipeline needed to be secretly sent for repairs, and the workers of the refinery needed to be recruited from the rear. The two felt that it was not enough to have a few hands.
After staying in Basra for two days, Zhang Feng rushed back to Baghdad to report his achievements to the president.
In the spacious office of the Freedom Palace, Zhang Feng met the president again, his father, Saddam.
Seeing Zhang Feng, Saddam stood up, looked at Zhang Feng for a while, and said, "Ku Sai, I heard that something happened on the way this time, you were not injured, are you?"
Zhang Feng was ambushed by the Israelis on his way back this time. He didn't want to alarm his father. Unexpectedly, he still got the news so accurately. It seems that he must strictly implement confidentiality regulations in his own troops in the future. However, Kuwait TV has been exposed, and his father may have learned it through other channels.
"No injuries, just a few soldiers died." Zhang Feng said: "However, our trip has achieved good results. Emil agreed to our proposal this time. I am currently stepping up the planning. The refinery will be able to start construction in two months. At that time, we will have sufficient foreign exchange to buy weapons."
Saddam nodded: "Well, our struggle against the Persians has received the support of many Arab brothers, and Jabir is our good brother."
Zhang Feng looked at Saddam's face, which was a sincere smile from the bottom of his heart. However, Zhang Feng also knew that Saddam was just his current favorable impression, and when he came to the scene, he turned against him very quickly.
"You did a good job this time, Kusai, because of the war, we have reduced economic income and urgently needed new sources of funds. With the production of refineries, we will have solid support to continue this war."
"Father, I have another thing to report to you." Zhang Feng saw that the time was ripe, and began to mention the F-20 with Saddam.
"Tell me, Kusai."
"In our great Iraqi Republic, there must be an eagle to defend its sky. Any enemy who comes to invade will be severely and severely attacked by us." Zhang Feng sang a high-profile first. He knew that Saddam was the one who likes this passion.
Sure enough, Saddam said: "Yes, we are descendants of the great prophets. The blood of our ancestors flows on us, and our airspace is sacred and inviolable."
"So, I think we should have a main air-control fighter. This type of fighter needs advanced radar and advanced missiles, and more importantly, we can produce them ourselves!"
Can you give birth by yourself? When Saddam heard the last sentence, he felt that his youngest son had already had some clever idea.
You know, in Iraq today, even cars cannot be produced, so it is a fantasy to produce a fighter jet.
"Recently, Northrop, the United States, came to our Iraq to promote their fighter jets." Zhang Feng said.
Selling fighter jets? This is the first time Saddam has heard of this term. Do American fighter jets still need to be sold? That is, there is no market price. Iraq wants to buy them, but it still can't be bought. Otherwise, f-15 and f-16, which one is not a famous aircraft? Isn't Israel dared to bomb its own nuclear reactors? Didn't it just use these two aircraft?
"The F-20 fighter jet produced by their company is a fighter jet dedicated to export, and there is no equipment in China." Zhang Feng began to introduce: "So, I want to negotiate with them to introduce the production line, and to produce this fighter jet by ourselves in our country."
Introducing production line? Saddam shook his head: "Kusai, your idea is indeed very good, but if we can buy it, just buy it directly. Why do we still have to buy the production line? That would be too troublesome."
"Father, we must introduce production lines, otherwise, the Iranian tomcats are a living example." Zhang Feng said: "If we only introduce fighter jets, then Americans only need a ban to turn our planes into scrap iron."
Zhang Feng knew that he had now talked about the most critical point and had to convince his father and agree with his suggestions. He still had many ideas and needed to convince him.
At this moment, Zhang Feng suddenly had a strange idea. If he sat in that seat, it would definitely make Iraq stronger more quickly. Saddam was a shrewd politician, but not a qualified military strategist. He did not have a broad vision and did not know what kind of war it was in modern war.
