v2 Chapter 587: pre-war preparations

The Republic of Iraq, referred to as "Iraq", is located in southwestern Asia, in the northeastern part of the Arabian Peninsula, with Saudi Arabia and Kuwait in the south, Turkey in the north, Syria in the northwest, and Iran and Jordan on its east and west sides.

In the middle of 3000 BC, the Sumerians, the earliest inhabitants of the Mesopotamia, created cuneiform writing, hexadecimal notation and circle division. Since then, Iraq has experienced the rule of the Babylonian Kingdom, the Assyrian Empire, the Neo-Babylonian Kingdom, Persia, Seleucid (called Tiaozhi in Chinese history), Parthian, and the Persian Sassanid dynasty. The Abbasid dynasty made Baghdad the capital. In 1920 it became a British Mandate of Mesopotamia. In 1921, the British sent Faisal I from the Hashemite royal family in Mecca to Baghdad to establish the Kingdom of Iraq. The Republic of Iraq was proclaimed in 1958.

Spent a week in Saudi Arabia, during which all the pre-planning of the project was done well. Leaving some team members to negotiate with the Saudis, Bao Zixuan left Saudi Arabia for the second stop of the trip - Iraq.

Bao Zixuan was hesitant to come to Iraq. After all, Iraq is now in a state of war, and the whole country may be bombed at any time. But if you want to detect the true combat effectiveness of the HH-01 ghost plane, it is imperative to come here.

At the same time, it also means to have a good relationship with Lilac's executives. As long as he can make a certain impact, then his presence is very valuable and meaningful.

Iraq will not be sanctioned if it does not invade Kuwait. Baohuodong Mining Company can guarantee the purchase of petroleum minerals. Although he couldn't change anything by himself, Bao Zixuan still wanted to give it a try.

Saudi Arabia has reduced the amount and scale of its purchases of U.S. Treasuries, pulling Iraq over. The Soviets still exist, and it is impossible for the Americans to dominate in the Middle East. Therefore, Bao Zixuan is looking for an opportunity, an opportunity that can accelerate the development of the Black Cloud Group and hold back the Americans.

As early as three days ago, Michael Kadoorie had come to Iraq, along with the engineers of the Black Cloud Group and two HH-01 Ghost fighter-bombers.

The Iran-Iraq war has entered an anxious stage, and neither side has the strength to make a final decision. The Iraqi president was overjoyed now to know that Black Cloud has a new weapon that he wants to test in Iraq.

The weapons transformed by the Black Cloud Group are not only cheap, but also extremely powerful in combat. Without the weapons produced by the Black Cloud Group, it is estimated that Iraq would not be able to hold on.

Now hearing that there are more advanced weapons to be tested, the Iraqi side welcomes it with both hands. At the same time, he is willing to bear the full cost of the experiment, although the war has continuously drained Iraq's foreign exchange reserves, and now there are very few left. There are even debts, but they are willing to pay for the cost of defeating the Iranians.

After seeing the shape of the HH-01 ghost plane, the Iraqi president became interested in the plane. The appearance alone is not simple, and it definitely has a strong fighting power. He is now confident that he can destroy the Iranians' military targets, and currently wants actual combat results.

Although Bao Zixuan's arrival was low-key, it was still very important in Iraq. At this time, Iraq's ability to survive until now is inseparable from the weapons refurbished by the Black Cloud Group. Bao's richest man is their savior, saying that people themselves are super rich. You can invest in Iraq when you come to Iraq. It is impossible for that country to be at war all the time, and there will always be a day of peace.

Iraqi President: "Welcome Mr. Bao Zixuan to Iraq. On behalf of the Iraqi people, I would like to express my gratitude for the support of the Black Cloud Group. I am not afraid of your jokes. Without the support of the Black Cloud Group, the war would never have been so smooth."

"I have seen the two planes brought here this time. From their appearance, I know they are very effective. Looking forward to their performance on the battlefield, the Iraqi people have absolute confidence."

Bao Zixuan didn't expect the other party to be so polite, it seemed that it was somewhat inconsistent with the report. Hearing is false, but seeing is believing. But you can't be deceived by appearance, the other party is now asking for himself. When the Black Cloud Group has no effect, it may even ignore you.

Bao Zixuan: "Your Excellency President, you are polite. War is not a good thing for a country. But since it happens, we must face it bravely. The will of the Iraqis to fight is worth learning, so the Heiyun Group just does something within its power."

"This time, I also meant to test the performance of the aircraft. Only weapons that have passed the actual combat test are reliable weapons.

Although Iraq currently has some advantages, it is not completely dominant. And the war hurt the country too much, and oil exports were badly affected.

The Iraqi side really wanted to introduce the HH-01 ghost plane, but it was not cheap just by looking at it. Now the country does not have much foreign exchange reserves, so it does not have the strength to buy it.

Moreover, the weapon has not been tested in actual combat, and everything has to wait until it has actual combat effect. The Iraqi side thinks very clearly, as long as it can achieve the expected results. Even in exchange for oil fields, you have to get the plane.

After the two exchanged a few words, they came to the secret air force base in Baghdad. Engineers are implanting data on Soviet-made laser missiles. Fortunately, many technical parameters were obtained through Little Ustinov before.
