Babylonian Empire

Are you still logging in as planned?Obviously, the Fao Peninsula in Iraq is no longer empty of troops. They have already discovered their purpose, so they resorted to their trump card. One missile sent the largest air defense ship into the sea, and the other two Can the frigate hold up?And those landing ships, those soldiers who are ready to go, are they all going to be buried in the sea with the warship?

Afshar asked the rear for instructions, and Hashmian, who got the news, sat down blankly with blank eyes. This time, not only was he a military defeat, but also politically, he would be in isolation.

Why did Khomeini believe him?Isn't it because he is an outstanding military commander?Now, the military is no good, so, those guys around the leaders who don't like him, can they let him go?

However, Hashmian did not put all his eggs in one basket and let the formation launch a desperate attack. He knew that this operation was actually detected by the Iraqis, so it would be futile to launch another attack.

If Hashemian knew that the Iraqi Air Force only had this Exocet missile, and it was still for testing, and the rest would not arrive until several months later, I wonder if he would regret his prudence.

When Hamad returned by plane, the crowd on the ground was already warmly welcomed, especially those engineers from France, who were even more joyful.

Although the Exocet missile has been in service for several years, there is no maritime conflict in France. Although it has exerted great power many times in the exercise, it still has not had much repercussions.

But this time, a missile killed Iran's largest destroyer, and it didn't even respond to the standard American-made air defense missile. This missile has proved to the world that France can manufacture the best weapons in the world.

Those engineers who have not closed their eyes for dozens of hours are full of excitement.

At the same time, they have sent this news back to the country as soon as possible. This record must be publicized.

Due to Zhang Feng's crossing, history has once again deviated. The legal-made flying fish missile, which was supposed to become famous in the Falklands War, has already appeared in the eyes of various military experts in advance.

Iraq, Southern Military Region Command.

"This time, the largest Iranian warship was killed with a single Exocet missile. The performance of this missile is really good. We should equip more."

"Your Excellency Qusay is really good at predicting things. He bought this kind of missiles from Europe and made a great achievement. Otherwise, our air force would have to drop many bombs to blow up this kind of large destroyer."

"Everyone, the most important thing for us now is to fight a beautiful counterattack while defending the current territory!" Zhang Feng interrupted the flattering voices and said heavily.

In fact, as far as this time is concerned, the commander of the opponent is definitely a command wizard. First, he launched an air-ground joint operation, and then prepared to surprise the Fao Peninsula. The bold and feasible ideas were smashed by him one by one. There is a feeling of pity for heroes.

Of course, if it was Zhang Feng himself, he would definitely choose a battle like the surprise attack on the Fao Peninsula. However, he would not choose to use those warships, which are too conspicuous. Concealment.

Choose a few oil tankers and approach the Fao Peninsula in a grand manner. First, use capable special forces to control various strategic locations, and then add large forces to occupy the Fao Peninsula. Only in this way can it play a more surprising role.

Even during the Iran-Iraq War, there were a lot of oil tankers from various countries that docked on the Fao Peninsula.

However, reality will not give Hashmian a second chance. This surprise attack that could have turned the tide of the battle was completely shattered under the blow of a flying fish.

PS: Thanks to my old friend billyboy for the reward!

Chapter 196 Propaganda

Chapter 196 Propaganda——

At the end of 1981, all the eyes of the world once again gathered on the Persian Gulf in the Middle East. A small anti-ship missile touched the hearts of many countries.

The French aerospace company released a high-profile press conference, announcing that an Exocet anti-ship missile under the aerospace company, under the accurate guidance of the Mirage F1 fighter jet of the Iraqi Air Force, destroyed the largest warship of the Iranian Navy, the Babur class, and achieved brilliant results.

Immediately, in the military circles, the uproar caused even surpassed the sensation caused by the third Middle East war, when the Israeli frigate was sunk by Egypt's Styx anti-ship missile.

Because the Babur class is equipped with almost the most advanced US-made standard **-1MR ship-to-air missiles. This kind of missiles can completely destroy any threatening sea and air targets within [-] kilometers.

In an instant, the flying fish missile became famous.

However, as the main user, Iraq has no reports.

As for the Iranian navy that was recruited, there are no reports.

In this way, only the aerospace company is playing a one-man show, and some media in the United States have begun to suspect whether the French aerospace company is making false propaganda to promote this missile.

Your Excellency Qusay, the person involved, if the Iranian warship was really blown up, wouldn't he make a high-profile announcement that he had beaten the Persian navy?

Zhang Feng didn't have time, and he didn't want to promote it.

Propagating the aerospace company, there are no advantages, but there are a lot of disadvantages. The celebrity effect is too terrible. If their missiles become famous and more countries buy them, then the unit price will definitely increase, which is not good for themselves. If South America If the brother of the company orders more, where will he make money?Zhang Feng didn't want to do such a thankless task.

The Iranian navy lost the battle and was sunk a large warship, let alone slap itself.

Zhang Feng's main energy was on the Iranian army on the opposite side.

The navy has retreated, and they who were attacked must not dare to launch this kind of surprise attack again for the time being. However, the battle on land is far from over.

Due to the tragic air battle, the consumption of both sides was very high, resulting in a significant decrease in the number of fighter sorties. Although one or two Iranian planes occasionally came, the main Tomcat fighter jets did not appear.

The Iranian Air Force pilots are also very good at thinking and summing up experience. In the last air battle, they finally realized that Iraq is equipped with a new type of aircraft and missiles. They have found information. This fighter is the French Mirage F1, and The missile is the Matra 530 medium-range missile of Matra Company, and they are looking for a way to counter this missile.

And Commander Hashmian has also realized that the young man named Qusay on the opposite side is indeed a person with outstanding battlefield intuition. When fighting against this kind of opponent, one must plan before moving, and there is no absolute certainty. You can't just let go.He ordered the attacking troops to retreat and prepare for a new offensive.

In this way, the front line of Abadan suddenly fell into a temporary silence.However, this is just the calm before the storm, once there is movement, it will be earth-shattering.

French engineers can finally rest in Iraq for a few days. Their high-intensity labor was rewarded, but not recognized. Therefore, some engineers, on behalf of the French aerospace company, went to make some requests to Mr. Qusay, but they were all rejected. After returning home, the reason is very simple. The front line is very tense, and His Excellency Qusay has gone to the front for inspection. As for everyone's request, the secretary will convey it on his behalf.

It's really unreasonable. When I needed myself in those few days, I was served with delicious food and drinks, and there were always big people visiting them. That Qu Sai Your Excellency was very approachable, chatted very congenially with them, and there was a beautiful translator who followed, If you don't need them now, it's like a different person, just ignore them at all.

unacceptable!

Joseph was in a calm mood. When he came here, he had a sense of belonging and identity. Everything here was full of ancient civilizations. The mosque in Basra and the Hamar Lake in the north of the city made him feel good about this place. Accustomed to Europe, the scenery here is even more charming.

The old woman in the French aerospace company was in a hurry. She suddenly found out that when His Excellency Qusay was in France, he once rescued an Agence France-Presse reporter. Moreover, after hearing that His Excellency Qusay returned to China, this reporter also went to Iraq.

She immediately contacted Agence France-Presse, hoping that they would come forward so that this reporter could interview His Excellency Qusay. This is a world-sensing news, and it is also very beneficial to Agence France-Presse.

AFP agreed.

So, Agence France-Presse's reporter, the swallow of the Soviet Union, and Adelina, a beauty who loves a hero, finally found a suitable opportunity.

Adelina arrived in Basra early on the flight and stayed in a hotel, but she couldn't go to see Qusay right away.

This is not France, and Qusay is not here to investigate. Qusay is the son of the president here, the future president of Iraq, and she can meet casually?She will always be just a passing visitor, leaving a short trace in his life.

A emptiness suddenly flashed in Adelina's heart. Is she really used to this kind of life?Playing with all the men in the palm of your hand, but there is no one you can really rely on?This is the fate of swallows!

Suddenly, on the long-distance call of the hotel, the president of Agence France-Presse contacted her personally and asked her to interview His Excellency Qusay and write a special report.

That's a good excuse!Adelina finally found enough reasons to go to see His Majesty Qusay.

However, Adelina didn't directly ask for an interview with Qusay, otherwise, she would most likely be blocked.

Ajielina first went to find Warihe. This person had some contact with her when she was in Paris. He was a trusted person around Qusay. Then he told Qusay that there was a possibility of being interviewed. .

It was another busy day. Zhang Feng discussed the next step of combat deployment with the staff officers and military commander Yizat in the military region, and gradually formed two ideas: First, stay put and kill the Iranian army in the counterattack , Second, take the initiative to eliminate the Iranian army during the campaign.

However, these two tactics have their own shortcomings, and Zhang Feng still has not made up his mind.

During the break, Warih came over and whispered to Zhang Feng: "There is a reporter from Agence France-Presse who wants to interview you."
