Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 1432

“The Tikrit Division must be equipped with new fighters as soon as possible, and the replaced fighters will be added to the Air Force to make up for the consumption in the war with the Persians… In addition to the few super aircrafts delivered to us for training seed flight instructors, the Chinese -7A, no fighters were delivered…Once war breaks out again, we will lose air superiority due to lack of fighters…”

The President has decided to teach the disobedient Kuwaitis.

In the previous period, the President has been communicating with senior officials of the governments of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia and members of the royal family, hoping that they will jointly announce to the international oil production cuts to achieve the goal of increasing oil prices.

Only if oil prices increase substantially can Iraq’s foreign debt be paid off as quickly as possible.

It is a pity that Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, the countries that made money from rising oil prices during the Iran-Iraq War, are reluctant to cut production.

They are happy to increase prices.

But it doesn’t promise to cut oil production at all. Who wants to give up a lot of money?

Kuwait, which has lent Iraq tens of billions of dollars, not only does not agree to cut oil production to increase oil prices, but it also keeps forcing Iraq to pay back the money.

This forced the silly Damu to prepare to settle the debt.

To do it, you must be fully prepared.

The eight-year-long Iran-Iraq War has left Iraq with huge foreign debts, not to mention Kuwait’s debt repayment.

Similarly, the eight-year war has caused a serious depletion of Iraq’s weapons and equipment.

In terms of arms procurement, the Soviets demanded that Iraq must first pay off the loans it owed before, otherwise it would not provide new equipment.

The same is true in Western countries.

These bastards are unwilling to sell even advanced equipment. They only sell their retired second-hand equipment to Iraq. As the third country in the world, how can Iraq answer what others don’t want?

That is losing the face of the world’s third military power!

What’s more, the price of second-hand equipment provided by western countries is far higher than that of China, and the performance is not as good as that of Chinese equipment.

The president looked at Ibrahim and was very angry.

“Before, you promised that China will deliver it on schedule at the new delivery time. Why haven’t we got the first new Super-7? How can you guarantee that all our fighters will be in place by March 1990? There are no fighters. , How does Lao Tzu clean up Kuwaiti and deter Saudis?”

The president’s tone was questioning, even with a vague killing intent.

Ibrahim’s cooperation with the Chinese involved many shady deals.

The president has always closed his eyes. After all, Ibrahim is his relative.

No matter how close, the president cannot tolerate relatives harming national interests.

Iraq urgently needs fighters to supplement the combat capabilities of the Air Force.

Without air force support and cover, no matter how strong the ground forces are, they can only become targets for the enemy.

The Chinese ground equipment and rocket launchers were delivered, but none of the fighter planes were delivered. The president could not accept it.

Ibrahim was helpless.

Looking at the president quizzically, “Before the Chinese side stated that they would complete the delivery as soon as possible. The Chinese side started production before, and the Soviets were unwilling to provide them with engines, which affected the delivery. Now the Chinese have negotiated with the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union is also Quickly provide engines to China. When the engines are in place, the fighter jets should be delivered soon…”

Ibrahim also didn’t know what was wrong.

It stands to reason that the Chinese fighter plane should have been delivered.

Xie Kai also assured Ibrahim that the other parts and components have already been produced, installed the engine, and the Super-7A fighter jets supplied to Iraq can begin to be delivered.

According to the agreement, several days have passed since the delivery time of the first batch of fighters, and no notification was received yet.

The Tikrit Division Air Force, which is anxiously waiting for new fighters to equip its troops, is already impatient.

There are not enough fighters to fight a small country like Kuwait without any effort, but it will not have much deterrence against countries such as Saudi Arabia that are unwilling to reduce production and increase oil prices.

Ibrahim was also lost in his heart now.

Through expansion, the Tikrit Division has reached a size of 140,000 people, and the armed forces are complete.

All 359 tanks from China were provided to the Tikrit Division and formed combat capabilities.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Even rocket launchers, self-propelled artillery, two kicks, etc., are also equipped.

There is a shortage of fighters.

As the Minister of Military Industry, Kanram also complained, “The production line we imported from China has been completed. But we didn’t get any parts supply, and we didn’t even handle the assembly of a fighter plane…”

They want to assemble it by themselves, but there are no parts.

Chinese technicians continue to give them theoretical training, which is useful if they don’t practice it.

Even maintenance support, etc., do not have many opportunities to practice hands. The fighters provided by the Chinese have too few opportunities to malfunction…

As the head of the logistics department, Harry Mossang also feels a lot of pressure now. Maintenance support cannot keep up. The time is too short and the personnel are not yet familiar with it. Once a war starts, how to quickly provide logistics support?

The President eagerly wanted to clean up Kuwait, but the Air Force pulled back.

Everyone is artificial, this is because Ibrahim’s mistakes caused them trouble.

Ibrahim knew that the other bigwigs didn’t want to see him, so they could only bite the bullet, “Everyone, or I will go to China to find out the specific situation and urge them to deliver as soon as possible, how about?”

Looking at Ibrahim, Saddam said coldly: “You’d better let them deliver all fighters immediately, and deliver them all within the deadline. Because you, all the funds are paid, but you haven’t seen them deliver. Fighter…”

The president’s words were full of threats.

When Ibrahim proposed to go to China to urge 404 fighters, Defense Minister Kazim looked at him with a playful expression.

He also proposed to the President, “Your Excellency, if Kanram, Kamal and others are allowed to accompany Ibrahim to China… There are a lot of people, and Chinese people know the seriousness of the problem. We can’t wait forever. …”

Kazim felt that Ibrahim was unreliable.

Ibrahim has made a lot of money in Iraq’s equipment procurement over the years, and everyone knows it well.

After all, Ibrahim did not cause damage to Iraq, and the negotiated price was lower than the price that Western countries reported to Iraq.

Kazim was unable to investigate these matters before, and now it is useless to pursue them.

Their fighters China is late, and the fighters produced by Egypt are not only equipped with their own air force, they have already formed combat capabilities.

You know, Iraq has always believed that it is much stronger than Egypt, and they are the leaders of the Arab world.

It is reported that Saudi Arabia is negotiating with the Egyptians to purchase Super-7A fighters from Egypt to be used as advanced trainers and equipped with the Saudi Air Force.

If Iraq can already produce, it can provide it to Saudi Arabia in order to repay the debt owed to Saudi Arabia.

But now, there is nothing.

Ibrahim wanted to reject the Secretary of Defense’s proposal. Seeing the president’s stare in his eyes, I could only helplessly say: “Okay. I will contact China immediately and set off as soon as possible.”

Kanram snorted coldly, “Ibrahim, you don’t have to worry about this. We will contact the Chinese side.”

The Minister of Military Industry was afraid that Ibrahim would contact the Chinese in advance.

At that time, when I go to China, I will get nothing, and I will not be able to understand the real situation.

Other senior officials do not want Ibrahim to contact the Chinese in advance, otherwise, the Chinese will fool them.

Iraq needs to know why China has been so late in handing over its warplanes.

In the past, China delivered all kinds of weapons and equipment very quickly, much faster than any other country in the world, and the quality was flawless.

What they worry about is that they don’t understand what is wrong. As long as it is produced, the Chinese will definitely deliver it.

The Iraqis still believe in the credibility of Chinese military enterprises.

Don’t be like before, China handed over to the Americans the fighter jets that should have been provided to Iraq. In the end, the Israelis got a large number of…

The Iraqi military has been in contact with China very quickly, the first day the negotiations were settled, and the Iraqi delegation arrived in China the next day.

This really caught China off guard.

The 404 people still haven’t found out the reason for the crash of the Super-7A fighter plane these days, so there is no intention to consider the feelings of the Iraqis.

The Soviet expert team has not yet set off.

“This matter must be properly resolved, otherwise it will have a serious impact on the reputation of the entire military industry system, and it will be very detrimental to your future exports.”

Long Yaohua called the 404 leaders over and told them with a serious face that the Iraqis would arrive tomorrow.

The export of Super-7A fighter jets is not only related to Iraq, Egypt and Pakistan expand the scale of procurement, and Greece is still waiting…

Argentina does not matter. The export of fighter jets to the Greek Air Force is related to whether domestically produced equipment can open the door of NATO’s national arms market.

Xie Kai slapped his chest and assured the two big guys, “Chief, please rest assured that the Iraqis will understand. The Super-7A failed and was delivered to them. If it was really caused by a Soviet engine failure, the completion of the delivery would give us a reputation. Bring greater impact.”

At the time of the crash, the cause of the failure was not found. After discussion, 404 suspended the delivery of Super-7A fighters to Iraq.

“Fighter crashes are normal in all countries. We have to find out the cause as soon as possible and solve the hidden troubles… The fighter jets delivered to the Iraqis have been produced. If there is no problem, the delivery should be completed as soon as possible. The Soviets were unwilling to provide engines. Now If the engine gap is resolved, it is better to end the contract with them as soon as possible.”

People with 404 are naturally aware.

But they couldn’t find the cause of the failure, and they couldn’t help it.

No one can guarantee that the delivery of fighter jets to Iraq will not happen, and the delivery with hidden dangers, it is better not to deliver.

At the airport, Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan greeted the Iraqi delegation with 404 high-level officials.

Kazim, Kanram and others, Xie Kai are familiar.

Back in Iraq, Xie Kai was very familiar with these generals who had not yet become the highest-ranking generals in the Iraqi military.

Especially Kazim, the head of the Iraqi delegation, Xie Kai did not expect that during the Iran-Iraq War, he was the commander of the southern theater and was promoted to the Minister of Defense so quickly.

“General, welcome to China”.

Xie Kai speaks fluent Arabic and does not need translation at all.

Kazim and others did not show a good attitude towards China’s high-level welcome, “We can only be happy if you can deliver the fighter…”

Kazim had no intention of coming, but eventually came to China in person.
