Moreover, Zhang Feng also thought of another opportunity. This kind of large-scale switching network also needs a computer!Take advantage of this opportunity and introduce several large computers!

Kartsev saw that the guy from Iraq became more and more interested in his explanation, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of glory in his heart. This is the product of the great Soviet Union, and it is the most advanced in the world!

In this era, every Soviet person has a sense of pride.

Back in Moscow, Zhang Feng met the man he was very familiar with, Gorbachev.

As an important figure in the Soviet Union, Gorbachev was very busy, so Zhang Feng had been here for a few days before the other party took the time to meet him.

Of course, for Zhang Feng, this kind of treatment is very normal, and his mentality is also very peaceful.

"We finally meet again in Moscow, my old friend," Gorbachev said.

"Yes, when I came to your country this time, I felt the prosperity and strength of your country, which made me very envious." Zhang Feng also said.

If you say a lot of compliments, you won't die. Zhang Feng knows that it is of great benefit to him to let this powerful person in front of him gain favor.

Sure enough, Gorbachev was very happy to hear Zhang Feng's words, "The Soviet Union and Iraq have always had a profound friendship, especially in the military field. We have always spared no effort to support Iraq's just cause." Gorbachev said.

Nonsense, if it weren’t for Khomeini’s criticism that the Soviet Union is a little Satan and the United States is a big Satan, I am afraid that the Soviet Union would have been associated with the Iranians long ago. Zhang Feng thought to himself that Iran’s geographical location is much better than that of Iraq, especially Iran. Next to Afghanistan, if Iran supported the Soviet Union, then Afghanistan would have been unable to survive.

"Yes, we have a deep friendship. This time, with sincerity, we came to your country to discuss the introduction of production lines, but we have not yet received an approval." Zhang Feng said.

He knew that since Gorbachev had met him, it meant that this matter must have been done.

"There was a bit of a misunderstanding in this matter. In the agreement reached at the beginning, it did not mention that your country would introduce our more advanced tank engines." Gorbachev said: "However, don't worry, after our discussions, the Soviet Union has already Agree, and export this engine production line to your country."

Hearing Gorbachev's words, Zhang Feng was also very happy. This time, he said sincerely: "Thank you for your country's help. On behalf of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and all Iraqi fighters, All the people, thank you for your country."

"However," Gorbachev said: "Because the engine is very advanced compared to the Soviet Union, in order to prevent the technology from being leaked to a third country, we need to send some technicians to follow the introduction of the production line to Iraq."

I knew you were going to say this a long time ago, but Zhang Feng doesn't mind, the more technicians he sends, the better.

If he didn't send anyone, and left after handing it over to Iraq, it would still be a pile of scrap iron, and the Iraqis themselves would not start this production line.

Moreover, Zhang Feng is not afraid of infiltration by the Soviet Union. What is the use of infiltration for a country whose lifespan has not exceeded ten years?At that time, the Soviet Union will collapse. The most suitable choice for those personnel is probably to stay in Iraq.

"That would be great." Zhang Feng said, "I also want to hire the former chief designer of Kartsev from your country to lead the team and go to Iraq together."

Kartsev?"He's retired, and if he wants to go, that's perfectly fine," Gorbachev said.

After talking about this matter, Zhang Feng mentioned cautiously: "I see that your country's mobile communication is very good. I wonder if it can be introduced to Iraq so that Baghdad, Basra and other big cities can use mobile communication?"

Chapter 345 Entering Bakhtaran

mobile phone?When Gorbachev heard it, it was very easy. As a big country, there are countless prides in it. Every invention that is more advanced than the United States is something that makes them feel proud. For example, this mobile communication technology.

"This can be introduced, but don't underestimate this phone. The initial investment is quite large, and the cost of use is also quite high. Is this necessary in your country?" Gorbachev asked.

"Of course it is necessary." Zhang Feng said: "If your country can help our country complete the construction of this mobile phone, our country will be very grateful."

This mobile phone is purely for civilian use, and it is still a conventional method for military communication. This kind of mobile phone connected to the local telephone has many shortcomings. For example, the signal is not encrypted, and it is easy to be eavesdropped.Therefore, the Soviet Union was very generous in exporting such civilian equipment.What's more, the Soviet Union now needs a large amount of investment to develop its domestic economy. This kind of profitable project is exactly what the Soviet Union is looking for.

"In order to make this system work better, we also hope to buy a batch of computers from your country for program control and exchange of data. In order to upgrade our equipment better, it is best to use large-scale Computer." Zhang Feng said.

The introduction of mobile phones is a slight act. Through this, the introduction of large computers is the main purpose, because Zhang Feng really can't find a better excuse.

mainframe computer?Hearing this, Gorbachev knew something. This kind of thing is of a strategic nature, because this kind of thing is related to numerical calculations in the high-precision field.For example, nuclear weapons and missile development all require large computers.

Therefore, upon hearing this, Gorbachev was a little hesitant. Although he attached importance to improving relations between the Middle East and exchanges with Iraq, it did not mean that he could give Iraq any assistance.

"Sorry, we can't export this kind of large computer," Gorbachev said.

When Zhang Feng heard it, he also expected it: "If we have this kind of computer, our entire telephone network will be faster. We really need this kind of large computer. It's a pity. We don't want too advanced models, even if they are An old BE**-6 would work too."

The Soviet Union was not far behind in the field of large computers. BE**-6 was the first Soviet supercomputer system that eliminated electron tubes.It was designed by the Lebedev Institute of Precision Instrument and Computer Engineering in 1965 and put into production in 1967.The mainframe was built from transistors rather than integrated circuits.In the 70s, it was widely used in various fields by the Soviet Union.

The new "Elbrus" is a series of supercomputer systems developed by the Lebedev Institute of Precision Instrument and Computer Engineering since the 70s, using a large number of integrated circuits.It has developed to "Elbrus-2" and has become a computer with 10 superscalar RISC processors. It is considered to be the first real supercomputer in the Soviet Union.Widely used in aerospace engineering, nuclear weapons research and defense systems.

What Zhang Feng wants most is this supercomputer, but he also knows that he will definitely not be able to buy it, unless it is a few years later.

"However, in order to support our friendly brothers, we can export some small computers to your country," Gorbachev said.

Zhang Feng heard that there is a huge gap between minicomputers and mainframe computers. For the data that needs to be calculated, it takes an hour on the mainframe and several days on the minicomputer. However, it is better than nothing .

"Thank you so much!" Zhang Feng said.

The mission to the Soviet Union this time is basically completed.

In fact, Zhang Feng really wanted to stay for a few more days to get a better understanding of this country, especially the navy. The Soviet Union had a strong navy and warship research and development capabilities. With Iraq occupying Khomeini Port, Iraq's coastline suddenly became longer. Many, the Iraqi navy should also develop in the past few years. If it weren't for the fact that Iraq's current funds are not very abundant, he really wants to buy some light frigates back. The current equipment of the Iraqi navy is only some gunboats at most.

If Iraq wants to become a powerful country, a strong navy is a must, and the navy needs time to accumulate, so it must be deployed as soon as possible.

Wait until after returning home.

After meeting with Soviet heavyweights like Gorbachev, Zhang Feng also wanted to visit the Black Sea Fleet in Ukraine, and then received domestic news: the Northern Military Region was already attacking Bakhtaland.

He knew that his trip to the Soviet Union was probably over.

Every time I go out, I don’t have a complete trip. In the end, there are always various things. This may be the helplessness of the superiors. I want to take a little time to sit by the swimming pool in the villa and bask in the sun , Drinking a glass of fruit juice has become a luxury.

The attack from the northern military region should not be in the way from the south, but Zhang Feng always felt intuitively that something was about to happen.

Because of Zhang Feng's crossing, the Iran-Iraq War has now become one-sided. At this time in history, Iran has concentrated 10 troops and launched a fierce attack on the Basra area in southern Iraq.It has controlled a narrow strip with an area of ​​more than 200 square kilometers in Iraq.In the north, Iran dispatched 5 troops to attack the Mandali region in northern Iraq, going deep into Iraq and posing a serious threat to Baghdad.The anxious Iraqi army organized seven counterattacks before blocking the Iranian army at the border.

But now, Iraq firmly holds the advantage, and the Iranian army has no decent counterattack.

However, this is very abnormal. You must know that compared with Iraq, Iran's biggest advantage is its huge population base and Khomeini's demagoguery. At the beginning, even young soldiers were used.

Now, the weakest aspect of Iran is the lack of weapons and equipment. Iran's air force is almost paralyzed, and the army's armored forces have suffered heavy casualties. However, the Iranians still have the potential for war.

Especially in the northern mountainous areas, our own armor advantage will not be brought into full play. Moreover, it is now winter, and the climate on the Iranian Plateau is very cold. Can the soldiers of the Northern Military Region adapt to this situation? severe cold?

Although the current international situation is very favorable, the hostages in the hijacking incident have not yet been resolved, and the United States will definitely stand on the side of Iraq. However, it is still a bit rash to launch an attack at this time.

Although Zhang Feng is in charge of the southern military region, he only needs to guard the land he occupies now. Moreover, what the stubborn father hates the most is that his command is said to be wrong. He is not very good at commanding and fighting, but Always like to point fingers, especially the actions of the Air Force, always interfering.

Fortunately, the Iranian air force is almost disabled. As long as they don't go to Tehran to provoke each other, they generally don't make any moves, and they don't even take off.

Because even if it takes off, precious parts will be consumed. At present, the Messiah Bureau is closely monitoring. If the United States dares to repeat the Iran-Contra in history, what it needs to do is to expose this inside story and get Reagan down!

Zhang Feng didn't know that he could not accurately grasp the pulse of the times every time, but this time, he miscalculated.

... Bakhtaran Governorate, West Is-Ran Abad.

This is a small city located between Naftshahr and Bakhtaran, with a population of only tens of thousands, but its strategic location is very important.

The powerful Northern Army, led by Lieutenant General Hazraj in Iraq, finally came here after several days of trekking.
