After leaving the command room, Canglong quickly came to the hangar. At this time, there were three aircraft here, two J-7Ms and one F16. Canglong took a few people to inspect the maintenance personnel in the hangar. Of course, it was not as intense and rigorous as imagined.
, and the so-called aviation brigade that was just established half an hour ago now only has a dozen people.
There are also several experts from the Russian military. Although this is just an F16, the Russian military has never obtained such a complete aircraft in history. For the technical department, if it can be taken back for research,
Maybe we can find out the weaknesses of f16.
Moreover, the F16 fighter is second only to the fourth-generation fighter, and it is also the most advanced third-generation fighter. It is said that the new model has reached the third and a half generations. The research value of such a complete aircraft is extremely high.
After the Russian intelligence agency got the news, they immediately contacted General Badr and wanted to secretly transport the aircraft to Russia for research. However, Badr did not have the right. After consulting Canglong's opinion, he was directly given to Canglong.
Denied.
Even if the Russians offered to use their most advanced MiG fighters and Soviet fighters in exchange, Canglong would not ignore them at all. After all, the American technology is much better than the Russians. The F16 Fighting Falcon was prominent for a while, and it is also in the contemporary era.
It is definitely the main fighter aircraft of the U.S. Air Force. How could the Soryu make such a cheap deal for the Russians? [
Of course, Canglong didn't give them a chance. If Russian experts wanted to study it, they could put the plane in Basra, and they could send experts over to conduct joint research with Basra.
But after this request was made, the Russian government did not agree. Although the current soldiers in Basra have combat effectiveness, they are very poor in technical literacy. The main reason is that their cultural background is too low. However, Canglong does not expect a soldier who has been at war all the time.
How many high-quality talents can a country in such a state have?
Therefore, the Russian government believed that Canglong wanted Russian technical experts to teach the technical experts in Basra. This was just like China in the past, who honestly followed Russia to learn technology. In the end, China no longer needed to learn Russian technology.
It even surpassed Russia in some aspects. Isn’t this asking for trouble?
Given Basra's potential, once it develops and expands in the future, enough oil alone will be enough for Basra to have enough money to conduct research. Therefore, although Russia is cooperating with Basra, it is unwilling to export technology to Basra.
After the two parties discussed it, since they couldn't reach an agreement, there was nothing they could do. Canglong couldn't find any good way to study the F16. Fighters cannot be copied by getting a complete aircraft.
There are still many technical problems. For example, China has obtained many Russian fighter jets, and they are all complete aircraft, but China cannot immediately imitate fighter jets with excellent performance.
Until now, the engines in Chinese fighter jets are still the weak point of the Chinese Air Force, so even if Canglong has a complete aircraft, it is of no use. At most, it is used for training troops, or even to familiarize itself with the fighter aircraft. That is to say, this aircraft will be handed over to Russia or China now.
, it may not be possible to imitate it. At most, you can learn from some of the technologies inside and slowly develop it.
There are only three pilots in Basra, the first is Bai Chang, the second is Cang Long, and the third is the rebellious Aziz. This former government soldier did not expect that Basra is completely different from what he imagined, and even in some cases
At that time, he even thought that he might encounter the same treatment as Saddam's period here.
After all, he was a soldier who had rebelled twice, the first time against Saddam and the second time against the new government. No commander would trust such a soldier.
But he didn't expect that when he came to Basra, he would enter the core base as soon as possible and receive the highest treatment. Even when he walked in the base, no one was watching him, as if he was a person here.
"Prophet." Everyone said in unison, respectfully.
Aziz glanced at the prophet with surprise on his face. When the prophet's eyes fell on him, he became a little nervous.
"Allah's blessings are upon you." Cang Long said with a stern look on his face.
"Allahu Akbar." Everyone replied at the same time.
Canglong nodded, walked to Aziz and stood still, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I now appoint you as the deputy captain of the aviation brigade to assist Bai Chang and train the air force."
Aziz was stunned for a moment, and then nodded excitedly. Just as he was about to say something, Canglong led the people away. Bai Chang stayed there, looking at Aziz with a bitter look on his face: "You really think this is a good job."
ah."
Aziz didn't know why and asked: "When the air force is established in Basra, will the troops be able to cooperate soon? Sir, is there anything wrong with this?"
"Fart, setting up the air force is just a target at best. The first time it was mainly to expand the army, most of the military expenditures were spent on the guidance brigade. Do you really think that he set up an aviation group to create a powerful air force?
?" Bai Chang said with a sarcastic face, "Also, don't call me sir in the future. We don't do this here unless you meet your end."
Aziz nodded: "Then what should I call you?"
"Bai Chang, Lao Bai, it's all fine." Bai Chang said with a humble look on his face, "Of course you can call me by my real name, Mohammed."[
"You? A Russian named Mohammed?" Aziz couldn't believe it.
"What's wrong with the Russians? I also believe in Islam, so Russians can't be called Mohammed?" Bai Chang asked rhetorically.
/
Azizina nodded and said: "Why do you say that our establishment of an aviation group is just a target?"
"What role can the air force play in a country like Iraq that has no strategic depth? Moreover, we only have a small area like Basra. If you spend a lot of money to build an air force, who will be the first target of the US military in the event of a war?
"Bai Chang said.
Aziz thought for a while, then his expression changed: "Air Force!"
"Isn't that right? I'm afraid that before we can even take off, someone else's missile will probably hit the airport. What do you think our great prophet will do if you think it's a thankless thing to spend money on?" Bai Chang still had a sarcastic look on his face.
Without waiting for his answer, he added, "Not only does he not know how to do it, he is also extremely smart. He doesn't need any air force or navy. He only needs guided troops. He can get hundreds of sets of air defense missiles. The Americans
What can the plane do to us? As for the others, they are all targets."
Aziz nodded. The most powerful air power in the world is of course the United States. The struggle for air supremacy basically doesn't even come to mind. He has also trained jointly with the US military for so long, and he knows how strong the US Air Force is, but he has to
After learning the news, Aziz's face became a little gloomy, because he felt that he had no place to use himself. He originally thought that after coming to Basra, he would play a big role.
Bai Chang seemed to see what he was thinking and said: "Don't worry, our boss, your prophet has no other merits, but once he trusts you, he will not doubt you. With him, we will have many battles. As for the air force
The problem is that now is indeed not the right time to form, but that doesn’t mean we can’t take action. I think we must have our own calculations deep in our hearts.”
Aziz nodded vigorously, hope rising again on his face.
At the same time, Canglong came to Su's base intelligence agency and watched the personnel inside working. Canglong did not disturb him. He just called Su aside and asked: "Is there really no movement from the Americans recently?"
"No, according to the information provided by our intelligence agents in Baghdad, the Americans have indeed swallowed them with bloody teeth. They are even avoiding our missile troops and not guiding the brigade." Su seemed to realize something and changed his words.
.
"It's strange, Natasha is not like this. After all, special forces should be sent over to blow up this F16. Why is there no movement?" Canglong touched his chin and frowned.
"There is indeed no movement. We have not received any news of any movement from the Americans in Basra's intelligence network. They are all under our surveillance. It is impossible for them to do any small tricks. I don't know." Su said confidently, the intelligence
The Department has always been an independent department, and it was also one of the first departments established.
At that time, Su's department was not called the Intelligence Agency, but a simple intelligence section with less than a dozen people. Later, as the Prophet Army's influence grew, Su established departments in both the militia and the Detachment of Women.
Agency, almost all militias and women's soldiers are the eyes and ears of the Intelligence Agency.
Especially after the people's belief in the prophet reached a deep level under the publicity, they could not tolerate other countries engaging in espionage here and destroying the prosperity here.
This has a bit of a North Korean flavor, but the difference in Basra is that people's beliefs are not compulsory, but are based on the provision of living standards and religious culture, so this kind of belief is different from the high-pressure rule of North Korea.
It is much more reliable. At least now, if one shouts in Basra that the government has fallen, the people in Basra will probably arrest and beat up the person who spread the rumors as soon as possible, and immediately notify the intelligence agency.
"However, we have recently received intelligence that the US military has basically eliminated the threat from the Mahdi Army guerrillas, and the Kurdish alliance in the north seems to have calmed down. These Kurds have been pacified by the Americans, so the central government
Now we are preparing to march into the four central provinces to deal with the remnants of the Baath Party," Su said.
"Oh, it seems that she is determined to endure it." Canglong frowned, "We can't sit still and wait for death. When Natasha solves the remnants of the Baath Party, we will be besieged on all sides, so we must find the Baath Party now.
If we talk to the Party people, we should let them delay it for at least a year or two."
"One or two years?" Su shook his head and sneered, "It's not that I look down on them. Although most of the remnants of the Baath Party are former members of Saddam's Republican Guard, I think it's good if they can last for a month. Although the Iranians are
I support them from behind, but the US-Iran coalition is not a vegetarian."
"So we have to support them from behind, at least to contain the US Air Force." Soryu said, "By the way, didn't they take the initiative to contact us?"
"Yes, there are, but their attitude is very arrogant." Su frowned, "They even want to fight with us. After all, the remnants of the Baath Party are Saddam's followers. They think everything in Iraq belongs to them, and we
The Prophet's Army was nothing more than a rebellion, so I simply expelled them."
"Oh." Canglong frowned, "You didn't beat them?"[
"No." Su shook his head, "After all, we have to worry about the relationship between the two parties."
"Next time this happens, I'll beat him to death until his parents don't even recognize him." Canglong said calmly.
