Mountain combat is a very challenging topic. Most of Iraq is made of plains and deserts. They adapt to combat in this area and have no deep understanding of the various dangers of mountains.

What's even more terrifying is that if the Iranians engage in guerrilla warfare, in a mountainous environment, it will cause great casualties to their own troops.

Zhang Feng was worried about the situation in Iraq's army, but he also knew that he could only worry. Among the Iraqi army, the most powerful troops in the Northern Military Region were not under his command.

After finishing his report to the president, Zhang Feng immediately rushed back to the Southern Military Region.

This time, after leaving the Southern Military Region for almost a month, Zhang Feng did not expect that there had been a great change.

Especially when he came to the base in Zubaier, the F-20 production line had already started to operate!

Parts imported from the United States are constantly flowing on the production line, and a few parts produced by Iraq have also joined the ranks. In the final factory, two F-20 fighter jets have taken shape.

The skins were all anchored, and the engine was placed at the tail, but the radar cover on the head was still empty and the radar had not been transported yet.

A large group of people gathered there, installing various parts.

Although the production of fighter jets is an assembly line, many things must be done manually by people. This is also the reason why a production line can only produce dozens of fighter jets a year.

A fighter is a huge machine and the result of joint cooperation between all parties.

This progress is too fast, right? When I came last time, I was still installing the production line and debugging stage.

Moreover, they worked very seriously. Even a number one figure from the Southern Military Region like Zhang Feng came. They did not look up and were studying what was carefully studied.

The arrogant Americans changed their attitude last time. The questions asked by Iraqi engineers were answered at all questions, as if they could wear a pair of pants.

Zhang Feng felt a little abnormal.

At this time, a person came out from under the belly of the fighter plane. Zhang Feng looked at him and was actually the chief American person in charge here. Dr. Kashen!

"Dr. Kashen!" Zhang Feng said in surprise: "I didn't expect that you would do it yourself?"

"In order to send the fighter to heaven as soon as possible, you must demonstrate it yourself. Your personnel have not yet fully mastered our CNC machine tool equipment. The parts produced are not accurate enough. This beam must be remade, otherwise the landing gear will not be collected back into the cabin." Kashin said. The engineers who returned from foreign countries in Iraq are of high level. They are already responsible for the subsystems of the main fighter jets. However, the Iraqi people who operate the machines are not very good and always make such low-level mistakes. You must know that this beam is cheaper to import from the United States than to produce by Iraq, because this metal material is very expensive, and this is the third one, and the cost has long exceeded the imported finished products!

Kashen is very rigorous. Such mistakes must be remade as long as they fail to achieve accuracy.

"Thank you, Dr. Kashen!" Zhang Feng said, "Thank you American friends for your sincere help to us. You are our friends!"

Zhang Feng was really inspired.

"In order to defeat the Iranians, these are all right." Kashin said: "However, this progress is still too slow. Although most of the products are exported by our company, it will take another two months to complete all the work and conduct the first flight, and at least one month of test flights to equip the troops."

When Zhang Feng heard the other party say this, it was entirely for his own interests. When would he consider it like this?

However, the number of advanced fighter jets on our side is relatively small. The two two-seater fighters have been used to train some pilots who can fly the F-20s, but they are all flying old-fashioned Soviet fighters.

"I wonder what Dr. Kashen has any suggestions?" Zhang Feng asked.

"Our company's production line has produced eight F-20s, which can be equipped with two squadrons of your country's Air Force. If you feel that the current fighter jets are not enough, you can export these eight fighter jets first, even if they are in our original contract."

Is there such a beautiful thing? When will Americans take the initiative to come to their doors for their acceptance?

"The Sparrow Air-to-air missile we ordered is also a relatively backward model. Moreover, less than dozens of them were shipped this time, and they could not withstand the consumption of a few battles at all," said Zhang Feng.

"The company has helped to re-connect with Raytheon. The last time it exported was only inventory, and this time it exported was the new Aim-7f missile." Kashin said.

?Zhang Feng felt a little incredible. Why did their attitude suddenly change so quickly? You know, just half a year ago, they frozen the contract for exporting this production line! Now they are actively contacting to export new models of missiles?

The reason why Kashin changed his attitude was naturally the decision of the senior American officials.

What Khomeini did this time did allow Americans to see the essence of Khomeini. They finally knew that it was very stupid to deal with such a person and even use such a person to achieve the checks and balances of power in the Middle East.

The weapons have been given to Khomeini, and only some of them have been released back. Only Khomeini can do such a thing.

Now, it goes without saying that their high-quality American executives, even ordinary people, may be able to see something.

The US side must not be dispatched until the last moment. Therefore, if the US wants to deal with Khomeini, it can only use the method of aiding Iraq.

What's more, the Iraqi Excellency Kusai actually visited the Soviet Union. This is a very bad signal. They need to use the cake of arms to seduce the guy Kusai.

Therefore, the American technician who was so careless and cowboy-style at the beginning, after receiving the news that the company was fully cooperating with Iraq, all put away that attitude and started working formally, and the progress was very fast.

Another reason is that Northrop's lobbying against the US Air Force failed again.

Northrop still concentrated its main force in China and produced several mass-produced models, hoping to win the favor of the US Air Force.

Unfortunately, the US Air Force already has a light fighter like the F-16 and does not want to equip a fighter of the same level, which is not conducive to logistics maintenance.

Although the performance of the F-20 is very exciting, and the price offered by Northrop is also very attractive, the US Air Force is unmoved.

Since these aircraft have been produced, the company's senior management made a decision after consultation: Taking advantage of the president and Congress that this time, the president and Congress agreed to reduce export restrictions on Iraq and export new Sparrow Air-to-air missiles, and then sell these fighter jets to Iraq.

Even if the price is lower, it is acceptable.

However, they had not waited for the main owner. After Zhang Feng came back, the person in charge of these matters had already run to the production line by himself before he could report it to him. Kashen was just a researcher and would not beat around the bush when he said these things. So, after Kashen saw Zhang Feng, he told them directly.

Zhang Feng thought in his mind and understood the general situation. I am afraid that this was caused by the hostages in Iran. Do the Americans want to be scapegoats and rush forward to them? He doesn't want to do such things.

There is no solution to the hostages Khomeini kidnapped. No matter how you do it, it is all wrong. If the Americans really dare to use force, the Iranians will definitely dare to tear up the votes, and they will definitely dare to kidnap Americans on the Middle East.

"Thank you very much for your friendship," said Zhang Feng. "This selfless assistance has allowed us to experience your country's support for our Middle East people."

"We and Iraq are always brothers." Kashin said. It is hard for him to say such a sentence.

Brother? Zhang Feng is very clear about how this brother ran rampant on Iraq's land in later generations. Now, the two sides are just using each other.

This time, Khomeini helped him and made the Americans realize the importance of supporting themselves? Zhang Feng was still a little confused.

Then, Zhang Feng arrived at the anti-ship missile production line on the other side of Zubaier, which was also a busy scene.

The technicians sent by China, led by Mr. Liang, are conquering the small turbojet engine imported from Iraq on the improved Red Bird 2 bullet body, with a range of more than 200 kilometers, which is still a little different from what is needed.

If you really want to make a big leap, you have to install a turbofan engine, which will further reduce the fuel consumption. Unfortunately, even Iraq has no way to get this kind of thing.

Even so, compared with China's engines, there has been great progress, with increased thrust and a lot of fuel consumption.

Zhang Feng knew that this kind of thing took time, and technological progress was not so easy. It would be very good to have the current development.

While Zhang Feng was still visiting, he received a letter from Yurid of the Messiha Bureau. He had an emergency and needed to report to Zhang Feng.

An emergency? Could it be the situation in the northern war? Zhang Feng did not continue to visit and rushed back to the military district immediately.

"His Excellency Kusai, we have received information that the Iranian Air Force is showing signs of large-scale deployment," Yurid said.

Isn’t the Iranian Air Force no longer able to fight? Zhang Feng, who rushed back in a hurry, was still a little puzzled.

"Our people cannot get close to Iranian air bases, but they found that Iranian refueling vehicles have been transporting fuel to the base recently, which confirms that the other party will definitely have large-scale air operations," Yurid said.

Although it cannot penetrate the inside, the other party's refueling car has been driving too frequently recently, and the ground crew suddenly became diligent and entered and exited the hangar very frequently. After the intelligence personnel reported this abnormal situation, Yurid analyzed it and concluded that the Iranians were probably planning a large-scale air attack! (To be continued)
