Rebirth of the Flying Era

 When he learned that the other party did not plan to purchase missiles, Du Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little complicated.

 With this kind of mentality, it would be strange to be able to defeat Yutai.

But after thinking about it, Du Fei suddenly thought that maybe Sadat might not really want to win this battle from the beginning.

 Having reached this position, don’t you understand that both America and Sulian need Yutai’s existence?

The reason why we started the war was probably because we had no choice but to do so. The domestic economy could no longer be sustained. If we didn't fight this war, Sadat's position might be overturned.

 But now, he fought but lost, and the hatred in the country was directed at Youtai.

 In addition, the attitude towards Sulian is even more subtle.

 A year before the war started, you fell out with the Sulian people and expelled Sulian's advisors. What was this?

Even if you really can’t bear it anymore, can’t you bear it even for a year? Do you have to cut off your own reinforcements before the war begins?

These flirtatious actions have long made Du Fei feel that something was not normal, but he didn't think about it.

 But once they are combined, a new window seems to open.

 It seems that Sadat did not care about the outcome of this war from the beginning.

Winning is better, directly establishing the image of an independent regional power, and even making his prestige and status comparable to that of Nasser, making him a hero.

After all, in 1967, during the Third Middle East War, Nasser was completely defeated.

Even if you lose, it doesn't matter. After all, the great Nasser failed a few years ago. Isn't it normal to fail again?

But this failure can pour cold water on some radicals within the country and let them know that the fight cannot be won.

  Next, the pressure on Sadat will be reduced a lot, and the rebound in the subsequent peace negotiation with Youtai will be smaller. At that time, some economic adjustments can be made.

After thinking about this, Du Fei couldn't help but curl his lips. It's really...how should I put it? This is probably the most hopeless solution.

 In the final analysis, it is an economic issue.

I really can't afford to be delayed, but it is inevitable that I will be suspected of cheating my teammates.

Although it doesn’t matter whether we win or lose here, the same cannot be said for Syria. Compared with this failure, Syria suffered greater losses.

 After this incident, not only will Tieji completely lose his status as the leader of the Arab world, but he will also create a wave of hatred in the surrounding areas.

But this is nothing to Du Fei, but an opportunity.

 …

 Subsequently, as expected, the war quickly reached a ceasefire under the joint mediation of America and Sulian.

Dufey took the time to write a detailed report on the war, including an assessment of the combat power, equipment and tactical levels of both sides.

 Then there is the prediction of the situation in the Middle East.

 Judging from the result, America won this round at almost no cost.

 There is no doubt that after the war, China will completely shift towards the West.

 Stalin eventually paid the price for their arrogance in treating the Arab world.

Falling to Amerika, it will gain economic benefits, thereby alleviating the biggest difficulties at present.

 Furthermore, the performance of Soviet-style weapons on the battlefield was poor this time, causing Sulian to lose even more points.

  It is likely that there will be unpredictable chain reactions, causing more Middle Eastern economists to re-examine their positions...

Du Fei spent three days writing it, and he sent it back to China without even re-copying it.

 It was a week after Dad Zhu received this report.

 At the office, Dad Zhu read this report during a break from work.

It was nothing at first, but seeing Du Fei's prediction of the future situation in the Middle East made him frown.

Some things are a little different from what was predicted before, and can even be said to be completely different.

 The most important of these is the leader of the Arab world.

 In China, many people mentioned Dengji, but they still habitually thought that this was Denghe in the early stage of Naser.

 But in fact, Nasser has passed away three years ago, and the fruit family is no longer the vibrant and prosperous place it was before 1967.

 Furthermore, Du Fei judged that after the war, the country would completely turn to the West.

　　Although there had been some rifts with Sulian in the past, it seems that it is not enough to completely fall out.

 After all, speed connection requires Taizhi, and Taizhi also needs speed connection.

 However, this symbiotic relationship has a prerequisite for being incompatible with Youtai.

Once the two parties reconcile, the position becomes more flexible.

 …

 At the end of October, the two sides declared a ceasefire after the ceasefire.

 The result was pretty much what Du Fei had expected.

 And it’s time for Du Fei to take action.

 In the palace in Tripoli, Du Fei and Cardano had lunch together at noon that day.

 Ka Dazuo's mood was not high. The failure of the Alabai coalition made him realize that Du Fei had told him before that the cards in the Middle East were not suitable for him.

 The water here is really too deep.

 In his opinion, China is already a very powerful ‘big country’, but it can only play a small role in this game.

Du Fei wiped his mouth with a napkin. He was going to say goodbye to Cardano today.

As a friend, I never forget to remind Cardano: "Omar, don't be depressed. The Middle East has always been the core battlefield of the great power game. This is not your battlefield. Find a way to develop southward and become the king of kings in Africa."

Ka Dazuo was stunned for a moment, looked at Du Fei with a complicated expression, and said with a wry smile: "Du, stop joking."

Du Fei said: "Whether it's a joke or not depends on you. My vision is always very accurate. Don't let me get it wrong."

 Ka Dazuo smiled and asked, "Where are you going next?"

Du Fei said: "Of course I'm in time. I can't go back empty-handed this time."

 …

 The next day, Du Fei arrived at Cairo Airport on a K-8 passenger plane.

 Mother Balak came to the airport to greet him in person, and was also surprised to see Du Fei's plane.

He didn't see Du Fei's plane last time he went to Tripoli. Now he saw the plane slowly stopping on the airport runway and realized that it was a plane he had never seen before.

 After some warm greetings, Balak’s mother asked about Du Fei’s plane.

Du Fei laughed and said: "Hunis, this is the latest passenger plane developed by my factory. It can carry up to 140 people at a time and has a range of 8,000 kilometers. How about it? It's beautiful~"

Mem. Balak was surprised. He didn't expect that this was Huaguo's plane.

Although we know that Du Fei's aircraft manufacturing plant can produce long-range bombers and transport aircraft, passenger aircraft are completely different.

 At present, there are not even five companies in the world that can produce medium and large passenger aircraft.

Mother Balak looked at the slender and beautiful plane again, and couldn't help but have mixed feelings.

His motherland had just experienced a helpless defeat. He longed for his country to become a powerful industrial country, but things went counterproductive.

 Twenty years after it completely shed its colonial status and became independent, it is still a backward and poor agricultural country.

In contrast, the ancient Eastern countries that also have a long history and declined in modern times have stood up again and become a powerful country that cannot be ignored or despised.

Mother Balak sighed, suppressed these emotions in her heart, and left the airport with Du Fei in a car.

 In the car, Barak apologized again for the missile.

Du Fei had no choice but to be nice and said frankly: "Hunis, you don't have to be like this. To be honest, even if there are no problems on your side, it will be difficult to conclude this deal."

There is no need to hide this kind of thing. Sooner or later, the follow-up parties will get wind of it.

For future interactions, instead of pretending to be confused because of the guilt of the other party, it is better to clarify the situation directly and appear more candid.

Mother Balak was stunned.

Du Fei explained: "The news about the sale of missiles has leaked. I have been jointly pressured by America and Sulian. Even if you want to buy it, I'm afraid you can't."

Balak took a breath of air. Although Du Fei did not blame them for leaking the news, in his opinion, this matter could only be news leaked from within them. He didn't know that Du Fei had other deals with Youtai.

　About this, Du Fei will definitely not admit it.

 Mother Balak’s mood is more complicated.

 Soon, the car arrived at Sadat's mansion.

Du Fei was received here in a place specially designed to receive high-level foreign guests.

 Originally, due to Du Fei's level, he was not qualified to use this place, but Sadat knew that Du Fei was not an ordinary person.

Although it has been slightly modified, one can still see the haggardness and exhaustion of Sadat.

　　No matter what Sadat thought in his heart, the failure of this war was real.

Sadat has dark skin, some baldness, a big nose, and a very distinctive appearance.

“Mr. Du, welcome to your visit~” Sadat stood inside and saw Du Fei and his mother Balak coming in. He smiled and extended his hand.

Dufey shook hands with him and then hugged him: "Hello, Mr. Sadat, you are a great hero."

Sadat and Balak were both stunned.

 Great hero? Where to start~

Although they made some progress in the Sinai Peninsula, they ultimately fell short.

Even with the tanks and automatic minelayers obtained from Du Fei, the U.S. military used America's spy satellite to find the gap in their front, used elite armor forces, and made a targeted and rapid breakthrough to defeat Suez. canal.

If America and Sulian had not jointly urged the ceasefire, the losses would have been even greater.

From a tactical perspective, this obviously cannot be a victory, let alone who is the hero.

 But Du Fei's attitude was sincere, and it didn't seem to be sarcastic.

Of course, Du Fei knew that this was very abrupt and immediately explained: "Mr. Sadat, to be honest, this is a very difficult battle. No one in the world wants you to win..."

Sadat flashed a look of helplessness.

Du Fei continued: "America doesn't want you to win, and Sulian doesn't want you to win either. Youtai has no depth. A failure is almost equal to destruction. And now none of them want to let Youtai perish. With Youtai's existence, America In order to project influence in the Middle East, only with the existence of Youtai can the Arab world seek to cooperate with the Soviet Union, and pay a huge economic and political price for this. So... this war was destined to have this result from the beginning, Satan Mr. Da Te, it is quite difficult for you to be able to fight like this."

Sadat laughed dryly. Although what Du Fei said was a bit far-fetched, at least his attitude was sincere and it was pleasant to listen to.

Du Fei continued: "You have let the whole world see your determination, especially last year when you forcefully expelled Sulian's advisors and launched a fierce battle with a powerful enemy with complete independence. This is great courage..."

 Sending a top hat quickly brought the relationship between the two parties closer.

Sadat knew well that Du Fei's words were exaggerated, but it was more or less a kind of spiritual comfort.

As he spoke, he gradually got to the point. Du Fei said: "Mr. Sadat, I understand your original intention of getting rid of the great power game, but if you want to gain respect, you must speak with strength. After this armistice, the top priority is to restore the war as soon as possible. Only when the armed forces become stronger can they reflect their value and let USSoft pay more chips for you."

Sadat nodded in agreement. In fact, this was also his plan.

 Why did we decide not to buy Dufei's missiles after weighing the situation before? To put it bluntly, this war is meaningless.

 Instead of spending a lot of money, it is better to turn limited funds into more useful bargaining chips.

Sadat understood that Du Fei's real purpose was to get them to buy his own things.

But one thing Du Fei said is right, that is, they must quickly regain their strength. Otherwise, they will not only lose their status as the leader of the Arab world, but also quickly become a second-rate country in the region.

Another advantage of buying things from Du Fei is that you don’t need to bear any additional legal conditions, it’s just a simple buying and selling transaction.

Another plus point for Du Fei is that the Firefighter No. 1 performed quite well on the battlefield before, and it also had an automatic minelayer that made contributions at critical times.

 These have proven on the battlefield that the equipment produced by Du Fei is quite reliable and practical.

However, to Du Fei's surprise, Sadat actually became very interested in the gunship. He not only inquired carefully about various performances, but also asked about the price.

Originally Du Fei did not expect to be able to sell the gunship to Deji.

 Because it involves the air force, the main threat it faces is Utai’s air superiority.

 Compared to ground-attack aircraft such as gunships, Jieji places more emphasis on fighter jets.

It is a pity that Du Fei currently has no fighter planes at hand, only transport planes, gunships, and bombers, which are not very useful for reaching.

 Without reliable air superiority, these things are useless to fighter jets.

As for Youtai, because of America’s endorsement, it has always had air supremacy in the region.

  In this case, Sadat showed interest in the gunship. What does this mean?

Du Fei had an idea in his mind, and he could more or less guess what happened.

 The purchase of gunships is obviously not aimed at Youtai.

In addition, it is unlikely that conflicts will break out with other neighbors, so there is only one possibility, which is internal.

 Previously, Cardazor purchased gunships to deal with some less obedient tribes in southern Ribia, and the effect was quite good. It was not only high efficiency, but also low cost.

Sadat will next adopt similar means to deal with some enemies who oppose him.

After thinking about this, Du Fei knew that this business was probably done.

Sure enough, after some further negotiations, Sadat finally formulated an equipment procurement plan totaling more than 500 million US dollars.

 Including five hundred of the latest firefighting No. 1 tanks.

 In order to promote this new tank, Du Fei not only brought drawings, but also video tapes.

 There is a ready-made car in Ka Dazuo, covered with gold foil.

 Finally, after some negotiations, the price was US$500,000 per unit, and 500 units would be US$250 million.

 Then there are various anti-aircraft missiles, rocket launchers, rocket launchers... and the most important, fifteen gunships, with a unit price of 10 million US dollars.

 In addition to this arms order, Du Fei also signed two export orders for civilian aircraft.

 One of the transactions was for China Airlines to purchase 20 Y-8 transport aircraft, and the other transaction was also for China Airlines to introduce 20 K-8 regional passenger aircraft.

 Because there is currently no experience in using the K-8 passenger aircraft, if it can really achieve the performance promised by Du Fei, there will be follow-up contracts.

In Sadat's plan, after the war is over, in order to boost the economy, two industries will be vigorously developed, one is the oil processing industry, and the other is tourism.

Needless to say, there are many tourism resources within reach. To attract foreign tourists, flying is the most convenient way.

 Introducing foreign airlines is one aspect, and developing our own airlines is also another aspect.

 Duffy's K-8 passenger plane is cheap, has good performance, and has a long enough range. If you buy an America McDonnell Douglas passenger plane that carries the same number of passengers, you can buy three Duffy K-8 passenger planes.

 …

 At this point, including the 250 million obtained from Youtai, Du Fei has earned nearly one billion U.S. dollars from this trip.

 And this is only half, he will leave Cairo next and head to Damascus.

 Unlike Cairo, the air here is still filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke.

This war basically did not affect Cairo, but Damascus in Syria was not so lucky. The forefront of the Youjun army that rushed out from the Golan Heights was less than 40 kilometers away from the city center of Damascus.

The sound of gunfire could be clearly heard in the city center. People in the city were frightened and kept silent.

 Fortunately, at the critical moment, reinforcements from Yuedan and Babylon helped the Syrian army withstand the attack, but they never regained the land newly occupied by the superior army outside the Golan Highlands.

 As soon as Du flew off the plane, he could clearly feel the depressing atmosphere here.

Hairdresser greets you at the airport with a strong smile.

This failure dealt a very heavy blow to Syria, and the losses were even greater.

 At least some achievements have been achieved over there, destroying hundreds of enemy tanks on the battlefield, breaking through and occupying the famous Barev Line of Defense, and even advancing hundreds of kilometers at one point.

If I had to describe it, it would probably fall short.

 But the situation in Syria is much uglier. At its most advantageous time, it only had a few strongholds on the upper and lower parts of the country.

  There was not even a decent attack that hit the mainland of Youtai.

This was tantamount to a resounding slap in the face for Hafiz, who had always been ambitious and prepared for war.

 Previously, Hafez gained power in Syria and had been keen on setting up a strongman in the region.

It will not hesitate to spend a lot of money to expand its armaments, preparing to build Syria into a strong regional army, and even replace it in the long run.

This failure was a huge blow to Hafiz. Even though there were many objective reasons, both external and internal, a failure was a failure, and it was meaningless to make any excuses.
