Chapter 807: Iraq is Syria's Strong Backing!

readx;

What will be the reaction of the American side? What does this have to do with the United States? As soon as Manaf wanted to ask, he suddenly realized that President Bashar did see the problem further, and in the current situation, Syria's attack on Israel was likely to provoke a counterattack from the United States. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info{{}}

In the past, Syria was not afraid of any reaction from the United States, because Syria's national defense policy was completely pro-Soviet, with the Soviet Union in the back, it was not afraid of the United States at all, but now, after Syria's national defense policy has slowly turned to Iraq, Iraq still has an intricate relationship with the United States, and if the United States reacts strongly, even at the expense of using force, then how will Iraq react?

Will Iraq abandon its support for Syria at a critical time? This is what Bashar considers.

In fact, Bashar's question is not entirely because of how wise Bashar is, but the main reason is that Bashar is still a little afraid.

Although Bashar did not express it obviously, he was far from mentally prepared for the fact that he had just risen to such an important position, and the reason why he kept doing so was because of the assassination of his uncle in London. {{}}

Rifaat wants to kill him, because Rifaat wants to be the president of Syria, he is a stumbling block for Rifaat, no matter where he flees, as long as he is still there, Rifaat will not let him go, he still knows what his uncle is like, so he must let Rifaat fall, and the way to let Rifaat fall is to take the position himself.

But. After Bashar came to power, what exactly did he do. He still hadn't thought it through, especially now. With the absolute support of Iraq, Bashar al-Assad's regime was able to achieve a smooth transition, and he has always studied medicine, but he is not very familiar with military and political aspects, and is only at the level of a primary school student. That's why he has always accepted the advice of Manaf and others, for example, to maintain friendly relations with Iraq. This is tantamount to completely abandoning the great power ambitions of the Hafez era, but Bashar does not have such lofty ambitions, and he also sees that Syria cannot compete with Iraq for the boss, and there are pro-Iraqi people who have climbed to the high position in Syria, so Bashar has to follow the trend and come to the present.

And now, it is necessary to plan an operation to strike at the sè column. From a legal point of view, this blow is of great benefit, it can greatly increase the support of the people for him, and can improve his personal prestige, but he must consider it thoroughly, how big the consequences are, and whether it is worth starting this war.

So. Bashar took into account the American factor. He had to be careful not to do something that he couldn't afford to live with.

"Your Excellency, the President of Iraq has called." At this moment, a secretary said to Bashar.

Qusay's phone? Remembering his secret meeting with Qusay and the agreements reached after his return to the Middle East, Bashar took a breath and walked to the telephone.

"President Bashar al-Assad, I am very happy that Syria, under your governance, has now returned to calm and is on the right track." On the other side of the phone, Qusay's words were clear.

"Thank you for your country's support for Syria, which is the main reason why the rebellion was able to be put down so quickly." Bashar said.

"We are a cancer in the Middle East world, and this time, they have done this kind of thing, which has seriously damaged the interests of our two countries, and we must teach them a lesson that they will never forget, let them know that we are the masters in this land. {{}}," Kusai said.

"Yes, we need to strike this one. If we dare to send special forces to our land to wreak havoc, we need to give them a little bit of power. After Bashar finished speaking, he said cautiously: "It's just that after our strike, will the United States say anything?" ”

"I have spoken on the phone with Saudi King Fahd, and all of us in the Arab world will support Syria's counterattack this time, and even if something happens on the American side that is unfavorable to Syria, we will all stand firmly behind Syria."

After speaking, Qusayi added: "When necessary, our Iraqi air force can also be stationed at your air base to help your country improve its air defense system and resist unknown invading enemy aircraft that may appear on the Mediterranean Sea and the Turkish border." ”

Qusay wants to sigh that Bashar is, his father and brother have died directly or indirectly at the hands of the Jews, and his own support to let Syria launch an air strike, Bashar is still considering the attitude, courage and courage of the distant United States, which is far from President Hafez. I don't know if such a person is a leader that the Syrians are satisfied with, but he is definitely satisfied with himself. Moreover, it is already very good for an ophthalmologist to be able to take on such a great responsibility.

Qusay's call this time was mainly to bring him closer to Bashar and at the same time convey to Bashar the goodwill of him and King Fahd, but since Bashar asked like that, he was also unceremonious, if Syria needs it, the Iraqi Air Force can be stationed in Syria's air bases, what a great opportunity! As long as Bashar agrees, he will not hesitate to let Iraq's most powerful Mirage 4000 station, and if Syria wants to, he can also consider leasing Syrian ports on the Mediterranean coast, so that the Iraqi Navy can have a direct presence in the Mediterranean...

Such a Syrian president, Qusay is very welcome.

"In that case, our action will be carried out on time tomorrow." Bashar finally made up his mind.

"King Fahd and I have consulted and decided to provide your country with $100 million in aid funds and a $1 billion interest-free loan with a repayment period of 10 years to help your country improve its domestic economy and military equipment, with which your country can improve the level of mechanization of agriculture and renew its outdated military equipment, and we in Iraq are willing to export our own weapons to Syria. {{}}," Kusai said.

Although Syria is also an oil exporter, Syria's oil reserves are not much, Syria's pillar industry is agriculture, and Syria's economic development is not very optimistic, so in order to support the new Assad in power, in order to encourage Bashar's current attitude, and in order to show the close relationship between the Arab world, Saudi Arabia, which has deep pockets, quickly agreed to Qusay's proposal and provided Saudi Arabia with aid funds and interest-free loans.

Now that Bashar has made up his mind to attack Israel, he must give him another sweetness.

"Moreover, we in Iraq hope that after repairing the damaged oil pipeline, we will build an oil pipeline with more export volume next to the original oil pipeline, so that our oil can be transported to Western European countries through Syria, which will bring thousands of jobs to your country, and after the completion of the oil pipeline, our country will also pay a certain amount of site fees to Syria every year according to the agreement." Qusay said.

Iraq's oil, exported directly through Syria, is very valuable, because, by avoiding this big circle, avoiding the busy Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz and the Suez Canal, Iraq's oil exports will be more competitive.

"Thank you very much for the support of the Arab brothers." Bashar said.

Bashar also knows that only when the domestic economy develops will the people be happy, he has been to the Western world, knows that the standard of living in Syria is far from abroad, if it were not for a charitable heart, he would not have chosen to be an ophthalmologist at the beginning, helping patients to restore their brightness, is his greatest wish. Of course, this is his wish, and it remains to be seen whether he has the ability or not.

Putting down the phone, Bashar finally made up his mind that, in the words of President Qusay, it is the cancer of our Middle Eastern world!

"I hope that our Air Force will be able to successfully complete this mission." Bashar said that at this time, his thin face actually had a majesty.

With the order of Bashar, the Syrian Air Force, began the final preparations.

30 km southeast of Homs, Charlotte Air Force Base.

Syria's main ground attack aircraft, Su-22 attack aircraft, are mostly deployed at this base.

In the military coup d'état a few days ago, the situation in Syria was chaotic, and the commander of the Air Force, Major General Manaf, announced the truth of the matter, hoping that the armed forces of the whole country would pledge allegiance to him, and the army did not respond to him, and in the Air Force, the commander of this air base actually did not react, so before Major General Manaf became Minister of Defense, the original commander of this air base was replaced, and the new commander was Colonel Alkhrat.

Colonel Alkhrat, Chinese New Year's Eve, shot down an F4E fighter in the 82 years of Lebanese fighting, and in the Air Force, Al is also a strong man who dares to fight.

(Inserting an aside, in fact, the combat effectiveness of the Syrian Air Force is much higher than that of Iraq, mainly because of Saddam, who has always doubted the loyalty of the Air Force, and the Syrian Air Force, in several conflicts, has been absolutely strong, but it is a pity that their equipment is backward, especially the electronic warfare capabilities, will fail in the Bekaa Valley.) )

After receiving the task, the entire base immediately fell into busyness.

The planes in the best condition of the entire base were gathered together, and the mechanics were urgently carrying out the final inspection, and then, it was necessary to mount weapons and equipment, this time two squadrons of Su-22 and one squadron of MiG-23, and the commander of the entire operation was Colonel Al, so he had already made a decision that he would fly the long plane of this MiG-23.

To have such an opportunity to strike at the sè column, Colonel Al will not let it go. (To be continued.) )
