Chapter 589 Powerful Foreign Aid

Iraq has temporarily lost its air power. If it wants to resist possible invasion from the United States, it can only invite foreign aid!

After hearing Andrei's words, everyone was very excited. Does this mean that the Soviet Union is going to step out from behind the scenes? If the Turkestan Military Region's air force is deployed, it can completely confront the US air strikes head-on! However, if the Soviet Union directly confronts the United States, isn't it afraid that World War III will break out?

"General Andrei, we are in great need of the support of the Turkestan Military Region." Uday was the first to express his position: "On behalf of the Iraqi government, I ask our good friend the Soviet Union to extend a hand of friendship to support us."

Andrei shook his head: "The Turkestan Military District's aviation force has not received such an order, and Moscow will not authorize us to directly interfere in Middle Eastern affairs."

Bah! Who would believe you? Moscow does not interfere in the affairs of the Middle East? Why did you come all the way from Uzbekistan to Baghdad? Hearing this, many people present expressed dissatisfaction in their eyes.

Being a coward at the critical moment, watching the United States put a knife on Iraq's neck and not taking action at this time, this is not a good approach!

"The foreign aid I am referring to is the Iranian People's Air Force," said Andre.

Iranian Air Force? Adnan couldn't help but say: "General Andrei, we have just ended the war with Iran. If we ask Iran for help now, will Iran agree?"

We just beat them up, and now we're asking them for help? It's good enough that Iran didn't stab us in the back!

"The war was fought before because the extremist organizations in Iran seized power. They wanted to export revolution to the entire Arab world. Iraq's opponent was the extremist regime led by HMN, not the current Iranian people's regime." Andre said: "After the current government seized power in Iran, didn't the two sides shake hands and make peace?"

Andre's argument does have some theory! Some people began to nod: "Yes, we have a good relationship with the current regime. We have signed a ceasefire agreement. Now both sides are still friends. Moreover, we have stopped supporting the Kurds on the other side."

"However, what conditions does Iran need to send troops? Does it require the interests of the Khuzestan province?" Watban asked.

In the last war, Iraq gained practical benefits, namely the division of Khuzestan Province, which gave it a wide outlet to the sea in the Mesopotamian River Basin, as well as local oil resources. Now, if Iran's condition for sending troops is to take back Khuzestan Province, Iraq will not agree. How can it spit out the fat meat that is already in its mouth!

"Yes, that's right, General Andrei, if we ask Iran for support, what conditions do they require?" Uday also asked. At the beginning of his term, he could not lose power and humiliate the country!

"The original armistice agreement is an old issue and of course it cannot be brought up again." Andre said: "Between countries, the most important thing is always the interests. Why not allocate part of Saudi Arabia's oil production rights to the Iranian oil company? They should be able to accept it."

Allocate Saudi oil mining rights! Originally, in order to gain the support of the Soviet Union, the two sides had agreed that the Soviet oil company needed to acquire shares in the Middle East occupied by Iraq, and the Soviet Union held 45% of the shares.

And now, Andre mentioned that he wanted to give Iran a share. How much did Iran want? If he wanted the Iranian Air Force to be deployed, he would need at least 5% to 10% of the shares!

You know, the current situation is not optimistic! Although Iraq has reached the Saudi capital Riyadh, the United States has counterattacked and flattened Iraq's air force. Now the two sides are back to the same starting line. It is not certain whether Iraq can take Saudi Arabia. Now asking Iran for help, the benefit given to them is the Saudi oil exploration rights that have not yet been taken and may be lost. This is actually quite shameless.

However, what else does Iraq have? Iraq's foreign exchange reserves have almost been used up, so giving Saudi Arabia the right to exploit oil is the most appropriate choice.

"I wonder how many planes Iran can send to support us?" Adnan asked. In fact, it would be more straightforward to ask Andre than to ask the current Iranian government. After all, that puppet government was established by Andre himself.

"The fighter jets that Iran can deploy include 40 Tomcat fighters, 20 MiG-23 fighters, and 20 Su-27 fighters. Although these fighter jets are still at a disadvantage in terms of quantity, they should have no problem helping to seize air supremacy over Iraq," said Andre.

Of course, no problem! Just the 40 Tomcat fighters, that is absolutely a big deal! This is also thanks to Andre, who deceived the HMN government and handed over those Tomcat fighters to the Soviet Union for improvement. In the end, it was a waste of effort. Those Tomcat fighters were confiscated and finally handed over to the current Iranian People's Government!

In addition, some scattered Tomcat fighters have been repaired one after another. Now the Iranian People's Air Force has about fifty Tomcat fighters. If forty of them can be withdrawn, it will be enough to form a terrible attack force.

The Iraqi Air Force experienced this best, as they tried their best to avoid fighting Tomcats.

The MiG-23 is a fighter jet project exported by the Soviet Union after the establishment of the Iranian People's Government, while the Su-27 is more peculiar.

You should know that among the current Soviet fighter jets, the Su-27 is the latest model and is only assigned to front-line troops. The first to receive these fighter jets are the Air Defense Force stationed in East Germany and the Air Defense Force of the Turkestan Military District. The entire Turkestan Military District now has only forty Su-27s.

Andrei said that these fighter planes belonged to the Iranian Air Force, but it was actually a cover-up. They must have been piloted by Soviet air force!

Powerful foreign aid comes from Iran. With these forces, we no longer have to worry about American air strikes! Moreover, even if Iran provides this help, the Americans can't do anything to Iran.

Iran and the United States have always been sworn enemies. Although Iraq also invaded Iran, the United States directly attacked Tehran. Moreover, it is impossible for the United States to attack Iran again. After all, the United States has not even dealt with Iraq yet.

"Twenty percent of the mining rights in exchange for support from the Iranian Air Force." Andre said, "If Iraq can agree, Iranian Air Force fighter jets can fly over in half an hour."
