100: Chapter 100: Expediting the Implementation of the "Sky Thunder" Series Air Defense Missile Transaction

Gaeta's military facilities mainly consisted of military communication stations, training grounds, and so on; the military communication station was the first to be bombed.

The Syrian officers and soldiers stationed at the military communication station saw the "Reaper" drone flying over and knew that the USA might launch an airstrike on Gaeta.

However, they did not expect the USA to dispatch F-16 Fighter Jets so quickly.

Although the military communication station was equipped with the Tianlei Type I Anti-Aircraft Missile, it had no ability to fight back against the F-16 Fighter Jets.

They could only watch helplessly as the military communication station was destroyed by bombs dropped by the F-16 Fighter Jets; many officers and soldiers could not escape and were buried in the sea of flames.

Another military training ground was deployed with the Tianlei Type I Anti-Aircraft Missile and the "Sayyad" anti-aircraft missiles transferred by Iran.

Although they immediately fired three "Sayyad" anti-aircraft missiles after discovering the F-16 Fighter Jets, not a single one was able to shoot down an F-16 Fighter Jet.

In the end, it only exposed the anti-aircraft missile position, making it a target for the F-16 Fighter Jets' bombing, turning it into ruins with very few officers or soldiers escaping.

Under the intense bombardment of several F-16 Fighter Jets, the entire military training ground was soon devastated, completely losing its utility as a training ground.

To use it again, it would take at least one or two months of extensive reconstruction. This would cause a significant delay.

Seeing that all of Gaeta's military facilities were engulfed in flames, the five F-16 Fighter Jets swaggered away from Gaeta.

This airstrike was a complete success, which put Lieutenant General Green at ease.

It seems that Syria has not yet been equipped with the type of anti-aircraft missile found at the Raqqa Military Base, allowing the USA to easily destroy many of Syria's military facilities.

Over the next few days, Lieutenant General Green frequently ordered F-16 Fighter Jets, F-35 Fighter Jets, and others to take off and launch airstrikes on military facilities across Syria, never returning empty-handed.

The greatest loss on any single occasion was just one reconnaissance drone, and on another occasion, an F-16 Fighter Jet was lightly damaged by the shockwave of an exploding anti-aircraft missile, which was quickly repaired and restored to combat capability.

With these results, Lieutenant General Green finally vented the frustration he felt at the Raqqa Military Base.

After receiving the report on the airstrikes from Lieutenant General Green, General Maitang began to praise his contributions once again and stopped reprimanding him about the Raqqa Military Base.

This greatly boosted Lieutenant General Green's confidence, and he couldn't help but start thinking about launching airstrikes on the Glass House military base.

...

General Faraj had been feeling overwhelmed during this period. Reports constantly came in from various places about military facilities being bombed by the USA, causing heavy losses to military facilities and the deaths of many officers and soldiers in the airstrikes.

Iran had transferred quite a few "Sayyad" anti-aircraft missiles, but they failed to demonstrate good combat performance when facing the USA's F-16 Fighter Jets, F-35 Fighter Jets, and other aircraft.

Many anti-aircraft missile positions were destroyed, resulting in the loss of operating personnel.

As for the military bases equipped with the Tianlei Type III Anti-Aircraft Missile and the Tianlei Type IV Anti-Aircraft Missile, the USA, having scouted in advance with "Reaper" drones and discovered anti-aircraft missile positions different from the "Sayyad" ones, chose to avoid them.

They never once actively launched airstrikes against these military bases.

The only time they did was because a "Predator" drone failed to analyze the situation of the anti-aircraft missile position in time and was hit and shot down by a Tianlei Type III Anti-Aircraft Missile.

And this military base never suffered another airstrike from USA aircraft.

It must have been designated by Lieutenant General Green as a military target to be temporarily avoided, blacklisted, and no aircraft were sent to visit it again.

General Faraj felt very helpless about this; Major General Zaha had only purchased a small number of Tianlei Type III Anti-Aircraft Missiles and Tianlei Type IV Anti-Aircraft Missiles last time, which was nowhere near enough to deploy to every military base, so he could only choose to deploy them at some of the more important ones.

Coupled with the fact that Major General Zaha had intercepted and kept quite a few of the anti-aircraft missiles in Zarzur, it made General Faraj's deployment of the Tianlei Type III Anti-Aircraft Missiles even more stretched, leaving him to helplessly watch as many military facilities turned into ruins.

Seeing this, General Faraj hurriedly urged high-ranking Syrian government officials to approve the oil and gas leasing agreement. Originally, government officials wanted to hold multi-party discussions to analyze the pros and cons of this oil and gas leasing agreement.

But after General Faraj laid out the bloody reality of the USA's recent airstrikes before the government officials, he quickly obtained the authorization document to sign the oil and gas leasing agreement.

He did not delay for a moment and directly contacted Major General Zaha.

"Major General Zaha, I have already obtained the authorization document from the Syrian government to sign the oil and gas leasing agreement. You must immediately sign the agreement with the Persian Lion State National Guard and have Iran pay the leased oil and gas as soon as possible."

General Faraj did not waste words with Major General Zaha and issued the order directly.

Major General Zaha had been quite relaxed while in Isfahan during this period.

Unlike in Zarzur, where he constantly worried about the USA and the Opposition Armed Forces it supported attacking various military bases. If he were surrounded by the Opposition Armed Forces, the battle he would face would have absolutely no guarantee of safety.

"It was approved so quickly?" Major General Zaha was somewhat surprised, marveling that the Syrian government officials actually had such high efficiency.

"Yes. Hurry up and sign the agreement with Iran."

"Yes, General. I will immediately contact Deputy Commander-in-Chief Mahad regarding the signing of the oil and gas leasing agreement." Major General Zaha replied after reacting.

"After signing the leasing agreement, you must keep an eye on Iran to ensure they pay the first year's oil and gas. You also need to start negotiations with the arms dealer to quickly finalize the arms deal to purchase the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile."

General Faraj continued to issue orders to Major General Zaha.

"Yes, General. I will negotiate with the Chaos Company to complete the purchase of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile as soon as possible. But should all of the first year's oil and gas be used to purchase the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile?" Major General Zaha then asked.

"Yes. The USA is currently launching airstrikes on various military facilities in Syria, so we must replenish enough anti-aircraft missiles as soon as possible to improve the anti-aircraft combat capability of every military facility."

General Faraj wanted to purchase other weapons and equipment, but the arms dealer was not selling them right now. Plus, with the direct threat of the USA's airstrikes, the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile gave him more of a sense of security.

"Okay. After I finish signing the oil and gas leasing agreement, I will immediately follow up with the arms dealer to sign the arms trade contract and urge them to deliver the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile as soon as possible." Major General Zaha did not ask any more questions.

At this moment, General Faraj could only pray that the arms dealer would be able to deliver the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile in time, so that Syria's various military facilities would suffer fewer losses.
