Rebirth of the Flying Era

Knowing 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 Yuta.

But then he thought about it, and Du Fei suddenly thought that maybe Sadat didn't really want to win this battle from the beginning.

If you are able to reach this position, don't you understand that both America and Sulian need Yutai's existence?

I am afraid that the reason for starting the war was because the domestic economy could no longer be sustained. If we did not fight this war, Sadat's position might be overturned.

But now, after fighting but losing, the hatred in the country has been directed at Youtai.

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

One year before the war started, he fell out with the Sulian people and expelled Sulian's consultants. What kind of operation was this?

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

Du Fei had long thought that these flirtatious actions were abnormal, but he didn't think about it.

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

It seemed that Sadat didn't care about the outcome of this war from the beginning.

Winning is even 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 party 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 negotiations 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.

Ultimately it's 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 will suffer greater losses.

After this time, Deji will not only completely lose his status as the leader of the Alabai world, but will also create a wave of hatred in the surrounding areas.

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

…

Then, as expected, the war quickly came to a ceasefire with the joint mediation of America and Sulian.

Du Fei 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 China will completely shift towards the West after the war.

Sulian finally paid the price for their arrogance towards the Arab world.

Falling in favor of America will benefit financially and alleviate the biggest difficulty at present.

Furthermore, the Soviet-style weapons performed poorly on the battlefield this time, causing Sulian to lose even more points.

It is very likely that there will be unpredictable chain reactions, causing more Middle Eastern politicians 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.

In the office, Dad Zhu read this report during a break in 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 them is that he is the leader of the Arab world.

In China, many people mentioned the draw, but they still habitually think that this is the draw in the mid-to-late stage of Nasser.

But in fact, Nasser has been dead for three years, and the Guo family is no longer the vibrant and prosperous place it was before 1967.

Then there is Du Fei's judgment that after the war, the country will completely turn to the West.

Although there had been some quarrels with Sulian before, it seems that it is not a complete fall-out.

After all, speed link needs to be hit, and hit also needs speed link.

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

Once the two parties reconcile, the stance becomes flexible.

…

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

The result was pretty much what Du Fei had expected.

And it was time for Du Fei to make a move.

In the palace in Tripoli, Du Fei and Ka Dazo 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 too deep.

In his view, Tieji 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. Today he was going to say goodbye to Cardano.

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."

Cardano 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.

Barak's mother came to the airport to greet him personally, 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~"

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

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

Currently, 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 it backfired.

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 country, which also has a long history and declined in modern times, has stood up again and become a powerful country that cannot be ignored or despised.

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

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 the sake of 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.

Balak's mother 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 won't be able to buy it."

Balak's mother 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 and Youtai had other deals.

Regarding this, Du Fei will definitely not admit it.

Balak's mother's mood was 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, with Du Fei's level, he was not qualified to use this place, but Sadat knew that Du Fei was not an ordinary person.

Although slightly modified, one can still see Sadat's haggardness and fatigue.

No matter what Sadat thought, 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.

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

Sadat and Balak were both stunned.

A 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 point of view, this obviously cannot be a victory, let alone who is the hero.

But Du Fei's attitude was sincere, not 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 flash 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. Therefore... this war was destined to have this result from the beginning, Mr. Sadat, 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 when you forcefully expelled Sulian's advisors last year, and launched a fierce battle with a powerful enemy while being completely independent. This is great courage..."

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

Sadat knew full well that Du Fei's words were exaggerated, but they were somewhat of a spiritual consolation.

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 Du Fei's missiles after weighing 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 chips.

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

But one thing Du Fei said is right, that is, they must quickly recover their strength now, otherwise they will not only lose their status as the leader of the Alabai 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 Firefighter No. 1 performed quite well on the battlefield before, and it also had an automatic minelayer that made contributions at critical moments.

All 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 the various performances, but also 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 with ground-attack aircraft such as gunships, Tieji places more emphasis on fighter jets.

It's a pity that Du Fei currently has no fighters at hand, only transport planes, gunships, and bombers, which are of little use for reaching.

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

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

Under such circumstances, Sadat showed interest in the gunship. What does this mean?

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

The purchase of the gunship is obviously not for Youtai.

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

Previously, Cardazo purchased gunships to deal with some less obedient tribes in southern Ribia, and the results were quite good. Not only was the efficiency high, but the cost was also very low.

Sadat will next adopt similar methods 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 purchase plan totaling more than 500 million US dollars.

These include 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.

Ka Dazuo has a ready-made car covered with gold foil.

In the end, 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 weapons order, Du Fei also signed two export orders for civilian aircraft.

One of the transactions was for Lajia Airlines to purchase 20 Y-8 transport aircraft, and the other was for Lajia 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 a follow-up contract.

In Sadat's plan, after the war, 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 tourist resources available. To attract foreign tourists, flying is the most convenient way.

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

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 with 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 still smells of gunfire.

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 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.

When Du Fei got off the plane, he could clearly feel the depressing atmosphere here.

The hairdresser was greeted at the airport with a strong smile.

This failure hit Syria very hard, and the losses were even greater.

At least some achievements were achieved 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 in the Golan.

Not even a decent attack hit Utai's homeland.

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

Before Hafez gained power in Syria, he 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 Hafeez. Even though there were many objective reasons, both external and internal, a failure was a failure, and it was meaningless to make any excuses.
