Kusai got off the helicopter, and a large number of people were waiting in the Basra Air Force Base, including the commander of the Southern Military Region Izart.

Several parasols had been set up in the open space of the airport. Kusai brought Prince Sultan to the bottom of the parasol, waiting for the arrival of the fighter plane.

"His Excellency Kusai, you said that this kind of fighter will also be produced in Iraq?" asked Prince Sultan.

"Yes." Kusai said: "This kind of legal fighter has strong combat power. We will introduce production lines to conduct synchronous production."

Prince Sultan didn't know how to communicate with Kusai. In his opinion, Iraq would consume a lot of money to introduce so many production lines. Is it really necessary to do that?

"His Excellency Kusai, your country has introduced multiple production lines now." Prince Sultan said: "F-20 fighter jets, C-801 missiles, F404 engines, and Baghdad's T-72 tank production line, are you still planning to introduce another production line of this fighter jet?"

"Yes." Kusai said: "You have also seen the situation of the Iranians. Their tomcats are paralyzed because they have no logistics source. They rely on smuggled parts to support them. We in Iraq must not follow the old path of Iran. We must be able to localize all weapons."

Following the old path of Iran? Prince Sultan recalled this sentence. Could it be that Kusai means that one day Iraq will be enemies of the United States?

However, from now on, although Iraq accidentally attacked US fighter jets, the relationship between the two countries is still very friendly. The United States has always supported Iraq's war against Iran.

However, does Iraq have so much money to invest so many projects? Prince Sultan guessed that although it occupied Iran's oil-producing province, Khuzestan, after all, Iraq is in war, and the cost of war is very large. For this air strike, the consumption of oil and ammunition is just an astronomical figure. Where did Iraq get so much money?

"His Excellency Kusai, this Phantom 4000 production line also costs a lot of money, right?" asked Prince Sultan.

"Yes. Fighter jets are only 50 million US dollars per aircraft, which is worth three F-20s, and the production line costs 800 million US dollars." Kusai said.

The modern air force is piled up with gold. One fighter jet is 50 million, and ten fighter jets are 500 million US dollars. No matter how rich and powerful it is, it must be carefully studied and compared repeatedly to choose. It is said that when Kusai ordered this kind of fighter jet that was still under development, he was full of confidence in it and placed an order directly, and the total contract was 80 fighter jets!

"I'm sorry, your country can carry out so many projects at the same time now, I'm afraid there is a lot of demand for funds? If necessary, Saudi Arabia originally intended to provide Iraq with some interest-free loans." Prince Sultan said.

"Yes, there is a lot of capital demand, but it's all right to pay for interest-free loans." Kusai said: "I have a big project recently and can earn a lot of money, but the funds are a bit insufficient. If Saudi Arabia is willing to invest with me, the benefits will be huge."

Co-investment? Prince Sultan's eyes are full of curiosity.

“How much money is needed?”

"Two billion US dollars." Kusai said casually.

After saying that, Kusai did not realize that Prince Sultan's face had changed, 20 billion US dollars, this is an astronomical figure. What kind of transaction is needed? This funds are enough to destroy the economies of some small countries.

Even Saudi Arabia, which has sufficient funds, is somewhat difficult to raise so much money at once.

The investment Kusai refers to, of course, is the Hong Kong dollar crisis a few months later, which is a good opportunity to make money. Unfortunately, so far, what he can make up is less than one billion US dollars. Various projects have taken up a lot of his expenses. Therefore, when Prince Sultan said that he could provide financial support, Kusai naturally thought of this wealth plan.

"His Excellency Kusai, what projects do we need to invest in with so much money?" asked Prince Sultan.

At this time, he saw Kusai's hearty smile, and then Kusai stretched out his hand: "The almighty Allah is on, this project is still confidential at present, but if you are willing to invest, you can get at least 30% of the profits, and it only takes two months."

In two months, you can get six billion US dollars? If it were someone else, Prince Sultan had already begun to refute it, but it was Kusai Abdullah who spoke!

Prince Sultan also wanted to ask, but there was a huge roar in the sky.

Prince Sultan picked up the telescope, adjusted it, and saw the formation flying in the distance.

There is a huge rectangular air intake fighter outside, which is the ace of the Iraqi Air Force. The Soviet-made MiG-25 can fly to a height of 30,000 meters and fly at three times the speed of sound, setting a number of records. In the middle of the MiG-25, those fighters made him even more eye-opener.

This is a completely different fighter aircraft than he has ever seen. The huge triangular wing structure behind it is very similar to the old Phantom 3. However, the pointed shock cone air intake is exposed on the side, and the small wing above the front of the air intake means that this is a new type of fighter aircraft.

Suddenly, his eyes straightened. In the telescope, he saw the two small wings in front of him, which turned twice.

Could it be that I was dazzled just now?

He watched the twin-engine heavy fighter aim at the runway, then, accurately entered the sliding line, lowered the landing gear, and prepared to land.

At this time, he was excited again. Yes, he was not dazzled, because he had seen that the two small wings had changed from horizontal to vertical!

The full-action canard in front has an auxiliary function, which is to be used as a speed reduction plate when landing.

When the rear landing gear touches the ground, the canard in front becomes vertical, which can significantly reduce the sliding distance, which is also an innovation of French engineers.

However, all of this can only be achieved under the condition of tele-directional control. Fly-directional operation optimizes the control of all rudder surfaces. What actions the pilot wants to do? After operating the driving rod, the computer will automatically control all rudder surfaces to follow the action to achieve the most appropriate maneuver. This is many times higher than the hydraulic operation of the second-generation fighter.

This is also one of the reasons why the Phantom 4000 has strong maneuverability.

Four Phantom 4,000 landed on the runway of Basra Air Force Base in turn, and the MiG-25 in the sky began to return.

The first Phantom 4000 landed slowly slid towards the apron. Kusai's face was already full of smiles. He looked at the huge fuselage, the huge bubble cockpit, and the sexy and fluent lines, and there was an impulse.

The canopy cover slowly opened, and the ground crew had already put the gangway on it.

A pilot wearing a helmet walked down slowly while holding the gangway.

He took off his helmet and revealed his golden hair. It turned out to be a Frenchman!

The scene was a little awkward. They originally wanted to cheer for the fighter planes to return to China, but the fighter planes came back, but the one who drove the fighter planes was a Frenchman?

The pilot was very cheerful. When he saw that it was like a movie freeze, he asked, "May I ask, isn't this Tehran?"

"Welcome, dear friend." Kusai said.

At this time, several fighter planes behind also slid over. From the No. 3 and No. 4 behind, Reyer and Omar got off the plane.

Seeing the great Lord Kusai coming to greet them in person, the two of them were immediately excited. Reyer shouted loudly: "Report to Lord Kusai, our Phantom 4000 fighter jet has successfully returned to Basra Airport. Please instruct, Reyer."

I thought the person I sent was cheated by Dassault and had never touched the fighter plane. It turned out that was not the case. Kusai looked at Reyer. This air combat ace in later history. With a stronger fighter plane, he will definitely become the sharpest sword in the Iraqi Air Force!

"I order that from tomorrow, our Phantom 4000 fighter jets will carry out combat readiness duty missions!" Kusai said.

"yes!"

The two French pilots were a little stunned. What is this called speed? The total flight time of these pilots on the Phantom 4000 is less than fifty hours. Although they are elite pilots selected from the Iraqi Air Force, the speed is too fast, right?

This may be the difference between war and peacetime! The French pilot thought.

After finishing his speech, Kusai suddenly realized something was wrong. Where did Prince Sultan run?

There wasn't around him. Could he disappear in such a short time? When he looked up again, Prince Sultan had already climbed the gangway and got into the cockpit of Phantom 4,000!

Prince Sultan was still very quick. He climbed up the gangway with great enthusiasm and saw that the cockpit inside was more advanced than the Saudi Air Force's own F-15. At this time, due to the negligence of Iraqi security personnel, the two bodyguards responsible for protecting Prince Sultan were also happily listening to His Excellency Kusai's speech. As a result, no one noticed that Prince Sultan actually climbed into the cockpit himself and sat in the flying seat.

As soon as he sat on it, Prince Sultan felt the momentum of this fighter jet, as if he could fly into the air at any time and fight in the sky! As a former Minister of Aviation, Prince Sultan was also very familiar with fighter jets. From his heart, he found that he liked this fighter jet very much.

It seems that Saudi Arabia also needs to equip dozens of aircraft. If there are two-seaters, it would be great to take it on a ride with it.

Kusai looked at the two bodyguards who had lost their duties. Although Prince Sultan looked young, he was already an old man in his fifties. If he fell off the gangway, how could he explain to King Fahd?

Kusai followed him up and saw Prince Sultan saying happily: "His Excellency Kusai, Saudi Arabia also needs to be equipped with such fighter jets!"

This sentence made Kusai feel that he almost fell down the gangway. Prince Sultan fell in love with such a fighter jet at first sight?
