"The Tikrit Division must be equipped with new fighter jets as soon as possible, and the replaced fighter jets are supplemented to the air force to make up for the consumption in the war with the Persians... The Chinese have not delivered any fighter jets except for the several Super-7a delivered to us for training seed flight instructors... Once the war breaks out again, we will lose air superiority because of the lack of fighter jets..."

The president has decided to teach disobedient Kuwaits a lesson.

In the past, the president had been communicating with senior government officials and members of the royal family of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, hoping that they would announce a reduction in oil production to the international community with themselves in order to increase oil prices.

Only when oil prices rise significantly can Iraq's foreign debt be paid off as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, countries like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, which made money from rising oil prices in the Iraq-Iraq War, are unwilling to cut production.

They are happy to raise prices.

But he did not agree to reduce oil production at all. Who would be willing to give up on the huge amount of US dollars?

Kuwait, which has lent tens of billions of dollars to Iraq, not only disagrees with reducing oil production to promote oil prices, but also forces Iraq to pay back the money.

This forced Sha Damu to take action to solve the debt.

To do it, you must be fully prepared.

The eight-year-long Iraq War has made Iraq's foreign debt huge, not to mention that Kuwait has forced debts.

Similarly, the eight-year war has severely consumed Iraq's weapons and equipment.

In arms procurement, the Soviets required Iraq to pay off the loans they had previously owed, otherwise they would not provide new equipment.

The same is true for Western countries.

These bastards are not even willing to sell advanced equipment and 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 would be a loss of face for the world's third military power!

What's more, the second-hand equipment provided by Western countries is much higher than that of China, and its performance is even worse than that of China's equipment.

The president looked at Ibrahim and was very angry.

"Before, you promised that China would deliver as scheduled at the new delivery time. Why haven't we got the first new Super-7 yet? How do you guarantee that all our fighters will be in place before March 1990? Without fighters, how can I deal with the Kuwaits and deter the Saudis?"

The president's tone was full of doubt and even a faint murderous intent.

There are uncommon transactions in the cooperation process between Ibrahim and the Chinese.

The president has always turned a blind eye, after all, Ibrahim is his relative.

No matter how close you are, the president cannot tolerate relatives damaging national interests.

Iraq urgently needs fighter jets to supplement the air force's combat capabilities.

Without air force support, no matter how powerful 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, so the president could not accept it.

Ibrahim was helpless.

Looking at the president awkwardly, "The Chinese side said that it would complete the delivery as soon as possible. China had 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 providing engines to China quickly. The engines are in place, and the fighter jets should be delivered soon..."

Ibrahim didn't know what was wrong.

Logically, China's fighter jets should be able to be delivered.

Xie Kai also assured Ibrahim that other parts have been produced long ago and the engine is installed and the Super-7a fighter provided to Iraq can be delivered.

According to the agreement, several days have passed since the first batch of fighter jets delivered, and no notification has been received.

The Tikrit Division Air Force, which was eager to wait for the new fighter to be equipped with the troops, was already impatient.

Without enough fighter jets, it will not be difficult to fight a small country like Kuwait, and it will not have much deterrent to Saudi Arabia and other countries that are unwilling to cut production and increase oil prices.

Ibrahim is not sure about it now.

Through expansion, the Tikrit Division reached a scale of 140,000 people, and the three navy, army and air force were fully prepared.

All 359 tanks from China were provided to the Tikrit Division and formed combat capabilities.

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

There is no fighter opportunity.

As the Minister of Military Industry, Kanlam also complained, "The production line we introduced from China has been built. However, we have not received any supply of parts and we have not even handled the assembly of a fighter jet..."

They wanted to assemble themselves, but they had no parts.

Chinese technicians constantly give them theoretical training, but they are useless if they are not practical.

There are not even many opportunities to practice in maintenance and guarantees. The fighter jets provided by the Chinese have too few opportunities to fail...

As the head of the logistics department, Harry Mosan now feels stressed, and the maintenance and support cannot be kept up. The time is too short and the personnel are not familiar with it. Once the war starts, how can we quickly provide logistics support?

The president was eager to deal with Kuwait, but the Air Force pulled his back.

Everyone is artificial, because Ibrahim's mistakes bring them trouble.

Ibrahim knew that the other bigwigs didn't like him, so she could only bite the bullet and said, "Everyone, why don't I go to China to learn about the specific situation first and urge them to deliver it as soon as possible?"

Looking at Ibrahim, Saddam said coldly: "You'd better let them deliver all the fighter jets immediately and all the ones will be delivered within the deadline. Because you, all the funds have been paid, but you haven't seen them deliver the fighter jets..."

The president's words were full of threats.

When Ibrahim proposed to go to China to urge people to fight against the 404, Defense Minister Katsim looked at him with a playful look on his face.

He even proposed to the president, "His Excellency President, if you don't let Kanlam, Kamal and others accompany Ibrahim to China... Only with more people can Chinese people know the seriousness of the problem. We cannot wait like this all the time..."

Katsim felt that Ibrahim was not very reliable.

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

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

Katsim had no ability to pursue these things before, but it was useless to pursue them now.

Their fighter jets China has been delayed. The fighter jets produced in Egypt have not only equipped their own air force, but have already formed combat capabilities.

You should know that Iraq has always thought it was much stronger than Egypt, and they were the bosses of the Arab world.

It is reported that Saudi Arabia is negotiating with the Egyptians to prepare to purchase Super-7a fighter jets from Egypt, as a senior trainer aircraft, and equip the Saudi Air Force.

If Iraq can already produce, it can be provided to Saudi Arabia to repay its debts owed to Saudi Arabia.

But now, there is nothing.

Ibrahim wanted to reject the proposal of the Minister of Defense. Seeing the president glaring at him, he could only say helplessly: "Okay. I will contact China immediately and set off as soon as possible."

Kanlam snorted coldly, "Ibrahim, you don't have to worry about this. We will contact China."

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

By then, if you go to China, you will get nothing and you will not be able to understand the real situation.

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

Iraq needs to know why China has been delayed in delivering the fighter jets to launch them.

Previously, China delivered various weapons and equipment very quickly, much faster than any country in the world, and its quality was not flawed.

What they are worried about is that they don’t understand what problems they have. As long as they are produced, the Chinese will definitely deliver them.

Iraqis believe in the credibility of Chinese military-industrial enterprises.

Especially like before, China delivered the fighter jets that should have been provided to Iraq to the Americans, and in the end the Israelis received a large number of...

The Iraqi military contacted China very quickly. The negotiations were completed the day before, and the Iraqi delegation arrived in China the next day.

This really caught China off guard.

The 404 people have not found out the reason for the crash of the Super-7a fighter these days, so they have no idea how to consider the feelings of the Iraqis.

The Soviet expert team has not set out yet.

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

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

The export of Super-7a fighter jets is not only related to Iraq, Egypt and Pakistan to expand procurement scale, but Greece is still waiting and watching...

It doesn't matter to Argentina, but exports to Greek Air Force fighter jets are related to whether domestic equipment can open the door to NATO's national arms market.

Xie Kai patted his chest and assured the two big bosses, "Chief, please rest assured that the Iraqis will understand. The Super-7a fails and delivers it to them. If it is really caused by a Soviet engine failure, completing the delivery will have a greater impact on our reputation."

The crash occurred and the cause of the failure was not found. After negotiation, 404 suspended the delivery of the Super-7a fighter jet to Iraq.

"It is normal for fighter plane crashes in all countries. We have to find out the cause as soon as possible and solve the hidden dangers of failure... The fighter planes delivered to the Iraqis have been completed, and if there is no problem, they should be delivered as soon as possible. The Soviets were unwilling to provide engines before, but now the engine gap is resolved, so it is better to end the contract with them as soon as possible."

People of 404 will naturally know.

But the cause of the failure cannot be found, and they have no choice.

No one can guarantee that the delivery of the fighter jet to Iraq will not occur. It is better not to deliver it with hidden dangers.

At the airport, Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan brought several senior executives from 404 to welcome the Iraqi delegation.

Kachim, Kanlam and others, Xie Kai is familiar with each other.

In Iraq, Xie Kai was already very familiar with these generals who had not yet become the highest-level Iraqi military.

Especially Kasim, the head of the Iraqi delegation, Xie Kai did not expect that during the Iraqi War, he was still the commander of the Southern Theater Command and was promoted to Minister of Defense so quickly.

"General, welcome to China."

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

Katsim and others did not show good attitude towards China's high-standard welcome. "We can only be happy if you can deliver the fighter jet..."
