Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Chapter 680 A loss that shocked the world 2

With the help of the Soviet Union, representatives of Iran and Iraq began negotiations. It can be said that both countries are impatient. After all, neither side of the war can afford to fight.

Iraq is able to persist because of the support of other Arab brother countries, while Iran relies on its faith and family background. At this time, Iraq has begun to go into debt, and Iran's wealth has been blown up all at once, so it still has the ability and courage to continue fighting.

Both sides are full of sincerity. Iraq urgently needs to develop its economy, and the Iranians hope to quickly enrich their wealth. The only disagreement was about the issue of Khomeini Port. In the end, both sides made certain concessions after consulting the country.

Khomeini Port is jointly managed by Iran and Iraq. The two parties have established a port management company. The company is not allowed to hire citizens of the two countries and is completely handed over to the management team of multinational companies. It can be said that this is a result acceptable to both sides, otherwise it would be difficult for Iran's top leaders to explain to the people.

When news of the end of the war reached both countries, people in both countries spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate. Again, no one is born to like fighting. Being able to end the war through peaceful means is good news for both sides.

But what depressed the top leaders of the two countries was that the war lasted for several years. Apart from the huge cost and the death of a large number of our own soldiers, it has achieved no practical significance. The country's territory is still so large, and the only benefit Iraq gets is that it will be more convenient to transport oil by participating in the management of Khomeini Port.

However, the price paid by the two countries is indeed not small, and this is worth pondering for everyone.

When the armistice agreement was signed, Bao Zixuan knew that history had changed again. If Iraq does not reach the end of the road like it did in the previous life, the possibility of invading Kuwait is unlikely; then the Black Cloud Group has added a solid ally in the Middle East. The influence of the United States in the Middle East will be further weakened, which will be very beneficial to the development of other countries.

These series of events completely disrupted the US Middle East plan and made Americans very unhappy. At this time, William Joseph Casey in the CIA was asking about his subordinates. As the director of the CIA, he failed to effectively control the development of the Iran-Iraq war. Instead, it allowed the Soviets to seize the opportunity; this was his dereliction of duty, and he didn't know how to explain it when he went to the White House to report.

The head of the CIA's Middle East region said apologetically: "This is a dereliction of duty on our part. The bombing of Iraq was too sudden. There was no sign before. It caught the Iranians by surprise and removed Iran from Grumman in one go." The purchased F-14 Panda aircraft were wiped out on the ground, and it can be said that Iran no longer has the ability to continue fighting."

"There are no clear data yet, but Iran lost more than 50 aircraft in this bombing, 30 of which were F-14 Panda aircraft. If the battle continues without air superiority, it will be a disaster for soldiers."

"Iraq's economic situation is not very good, and it has relied on the support of other Arab countries to get to this day. Therefore, after the Iranians sent a signal for peace, they also agreed to end the war."

After hearing this, William Joseph Casey thought for a while and said: "What kind of weapons did the Iraqis use to bomb Iran this time? The Iranians are just incompetent, and they should not have found the target even when the bombers penetrated deep into the sky above the capital."

This is a question that the whole world is concerned about and wants answers to. After all, being unprepared can threaten the country's national defense. Once a country does this to you, who can stand it?

The head of the CIA's Middle East: "It is not yet clear which country developed the stealth aircraft, but analysis of samples taken from the missile fragments shows that they are all Soviet-made missiles."

"But this is a big doubt. There is no evidence that the Soviets are developing stealth bombers. It may be that the Soviets have done a very good job of keeping secrets. I cannot rule out that the Soviets are providing stealth aircraft to Iraq, but they are also providing stealth bombers to Iran. Selling weapons is really hard to understand.”

"There is another news that needs attention. Bao Zixuan, the president of Heiyun Group, recently visited the Middle East. After leaving Saudi Arabia, he secretly went to Iraq. Could it be that Heiyun Group developed some new aircraft and conducted experiments with the Iraqi Air Force? .”

"Heiyun Group can develop a ground-effect aircraft, which at least proves that there are no technical obstacles to producing aircraft. At the same time, Bao Zixuan is a professional in aviation power and has a fanatical love for aircraft."

Americans have been deeply involved in the Middle East for many years, and their intelligence capabilities are absolutely number one. Even the Soviet KGB cannot compare with them in this regard. It is estimated that only the CIA in the world can collect so much useful information in just two days.

William Joseph Casey: "Continue to monitor the movements of Bao Zixuan and the Soviet Union. If the Black Cloud Group and the Soviet Union choose one, I would rather the Black Cloud Group produces a stealth aircraft. If the Soviets have such an advanced aircraft, It is a serious threat to the United States."

"Although Iran's radar was produced by the United States ten years ago, it was also the most advanced equipment at that time. It is much better than the radars of other countries. However, even such a radar cannot detect the target, which shows the powerful stealth performance of the aircraft. This is a very Important issues should be taken seriously.”

As the director of the CIA, of course he knows some things about the U.S. military. Lockheed began developing stealth aircraft in the mid-1970s. It was finalized for its first flight in 1981 and entered service in 1983. It was officially codenamed F-117A attack aircraft.

At the same time, more advanced stealth aircraft are also being developed, but it was discovered through technical comparison. At present, the stealth performance of the F117 attack aircraft cannot keep up with the aircraft used by Iraq, which puzzles the top brass of the CIA.

The world's largest technological power actually lags behind in the development of stealth aircraft. This thing really shouldn't happen, but it happened right in front of them, and they didn't know how to explain it.

After sorting out the information, William Joseph Casey asked the driver to take him directly to the White House. At this time, President Reagan was waiting for him. It can be said that the Americans were the most uncomfortable with the signing of the armistice agreement.

Reagan did not give the CIA director a good look. After all, this time it was too embarrassing. I don’t know what kind of aircraft Iraq used; I don’t know the exact amount of Iran’s losses; I don’t know why the Soviets acted as peacemakers.

Is this still the omniscient CIA? It's like I don't know. I'm really sorry for the contribution of taxpayers.

Reagan: "Director Casey, how is the investigation going? Why did the Iran-Iraq war end suddenly, what kind of aircraft did Iraq use. Also, how much was Iran's loss, and what role did the Soviets play in it."

Did the CIA get the news before, and did it make judgments and response plans for emergencies? How to end it now? If this can only reduce the CIA's activity funds next year, there must be an explanation to the taxpayers.

President Reagan asked so many reasons at once, and William Joseph Casey really didn't know how to answer. But things have happened. It's too late to say anything now. We can only face it positively.

William Joseph Casey: "The end of the war was mainly due to the total loss of the Iranian Air Force, especially the F-14 Panda fighter jets purchased from Grumman. At best, only a handful of them were left capable of combat. The economic conditions of Iraq were also supportive. If you can't hold back, then the war will be hastily ended."

"As for who provided the aircraft, from the current intelligence analysis, it is either the Soviets or the Black Cloud Group. Bao Zixuan is in Iraq, and all the missiles used are produced by the Soviet Union. The CIA still prefers the Black Cloud Group, and Bao Zixuan cannot go there for no reason. Iraq."

"The Iranians took the initiative to contact the Soviet Union. After all, the only ones in the world that have the ability to mediate wars are the United States and the Soviet Union. The relationship between the United States and Iran is very tense now, and the Iranians will not take the initiative to come to them."

"Because the incident was so sudden, previous analysis showed that the Iran-Iraq war would take at least 3-5 years to come to an end. Therefore, there was no emergency plan. This was a dereliction of duty on the part of the CIA."

After hearing William Joseph Casey's answer, Reagan knew that he was not entirely to blame. But whether it is the Black Cloud Group or the Soviet Union that develops a stealth aircraft, it is a huge hidden danger, and we must figure it out.

Fortunately for the Black Cloud Group, the Soviets have stealth aircraft technology and are a huge threat to the United States. Arms dealers must be ordered to develop more advanced radars to deal with surprise attacks by stealth aircraft.

Reagan: "Investigate the matter as soon as possible. No matter who develops the stealth aircraft, it will be a huge challenge to the United States. At the same time, increasing penetration into Iraq and Iran must ensure the influence of the United States in the Middle East. You can give some points appropriately. Sweetness, the Soviets cannot be allowed to penetrate into the core area of ​​the Middle East.”

Stealth aircraft is a technical issue, and the United States is the country that invests the most in technology research and development in the world. When it comes to competing in terms of technical strength, no one is afraid of it, just allocate more funds for research and development.

But letting the Soviet Union penetrate into the Middle East is unforgivable. This is related to a country's overall strategy. Now the Soviet Union is no worse than the United States militarily, and its strategic depth is even stronger than that of the United States. After all, where is the land value? The only shortcoming is the economy. If the Soviet Union is allowed to penetrate into the oil-producing countries in the Middle East, the economic problems will be solved. At that time, who will be able to restrict the development of the Soviet Union, and the strategic advantage of the United States will no longer exist.
