As Qusay's hidden power, Yurid doesn't often appear in the Palace of the Republic. He usually comes to Qusay's mansion to report.

Seeing Yourid, Qusay said, "What's the matter?"

"Our people have gained something in Japan."

Japan?It was only then that Qusay remembered that he had ordered Yurid to carry out an activity a few months ago.

"How is it?" Qusay asked.

"The other party has already agreed, and we will pay 400 million US dollars to purchase two sets of processing equipment and two large computers." Urid replied.

Qu Sai nodded in satisfaction, not bad!What a great start!

"The equipment will be delivered within one month. Toshiba will arrange technicians to help us install and debug it," Urid said.

"Okay, this thing is done well!" Qusay is very satisfied. Now, the development of nuclear weapons, because there is no large-scale computer, can only be fiddled with on a medium-sized computer, and the progress is slow. With the arrival of these two computers, they can speed up. Speed ​​up.

And those two processing equipment will greatly promote Iraq's industrial level, they are five-axis linkage machine tools!Think about the F-20 production line purchased in the United States, and they are still using old-fashioned electronic tube computer-controlled lathes for themselves. With these two lathes, many parts can be processed more accurately and quickly, and the production line of the F404 engine is even better. so it is.

Unexpectedly, Toshiba was caught by himself and got it so easily.

If it takes another ten years, Qusay will not be at ease. With the development of electronic technology, many new technologies will appear. For example, the other party will add an extra part to their machine tools. Remote control operation of this thing will greatly reduce the precision of the machine tool, while the mainframe will continuously leak secrets.

It's a pity that the current electronic technology has just started a period of vigorous development, and has not yet reached that height. Qusay is standing on this starting line, ready to compete for this technological commanding height.

Toshiba, you don't want to develop as fast as the future generations, I will definitely kill you in your infancy!Qusay secretly made up his mind.

"There is another thing." Yourid said: "Our intelligence personnel operating in Iran have collected enough evidence that Iran has introduced J-69 fighter jets, 69 tanks, and an anti-ship missile from China. Among them, there are very few J-[-] fighter jets and [-] tanks left, but the anti-ship missiles have not been hit."

Anti-ship missiles?Qusay asked, "Do you know what model it is?"

"The specific model is unknown, but our personnel observed that the volume is relatively swollen, so it should not be the model we equip." Urid said.

The size is relatively swollen, so it is naturally a silkworm baby from China. Qusai finally knew that due to his time travel, the process of the Iran-Iraq War has obviously deviated from history. This missile has already arrived in Iran a few years in advance. man's hand.

In the history of the Iran-Iraq War, both Iran and Iraq purchased large quantities of weapons from China, J-69 fighter jets, [-] tanks, and anti-ship missiles, but the difference is that Iraq did not choose the Silkworm missiles because Iraq already had them. The advanced legal-made Exocet missiles are despised by this thing. On the contrary, Iran was fooled and bought a large number of such missiles.

The silkworm anti-ship missile is a Chinese imitation of the Soviet 544 missile. The domestic number is Haiying 2 (C201, and the improved version is C601).Anti-ship missiles in the world have already entered the stage of solid motors. This missile, which uses the technology of the Soviet Union in the 50s, still uses a liquid motor, resulting in a huge volume and a short and thick shape, like a chubby silkworm, so it was named silkworm by NATO. type missile.

This kind of missile is backward in guidance, bulky, and complicated to launch. Qu Sai didn't like it at all, and only then did he introduce the C801.

However, if it is said that this kind of missile is not powerful, it would be a big mistake. The total weight of the missile is 3000 kg, and the warhead is 513 kg. If it is used on the shore, it can completely block the Strait of Hormuz.

Unexpectedly, the big eastern country achieved a level of peace in its foreign arms sales, and also sold anti-ship missiles to Iran!So, will the Iranians do the thing that shocked the world?

In later generations, in the later stages of the Iran-Iraq War, in order to offset the war potential of both sides, they all took the economic power of the opponent as an important goal, that is, the ship attack war!

In the Iran-Iraq War, the attack on ships was something that shocked and shamed all countries in the world, because they not only attacked the ships of the other side, but also the ships of neutral countries.In the first year of 1984 alone, 69 merchant ships and oil tankers were attacked, 1985 in 53, 1986 in 106, and 1987 merchant ships and oil tankers were attacked at the peak in 178.

Both sides had their own strengths. At that time, because the Fao Peninsula was already occupied by Iran, Iraq lost its oil outlets, so it had to rely on pipeline transportation, passing through Jordan to the Mediterranean, while Iran mainly transported oil tankers; but Iran itself was exported from the Persian Gulf and had geographical advantages. Advantage.

The ship attack battle between the two countries has caused other countries, especially Kuwait, to suffer a lot, because Kuwait is in the innermost part of the Persian Gulf and can only rely on oil tankers in the Persian Gulf.In the later stage, when Iran attacked civilian ships, regardless of whether they were Iraqi ships or ships transported for Iraq, they also included Kuwait and other countries that supported Iraq as targets of attack, and even attacked neutral oil tankers.Especially after September 1986, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards often dispatched armed speedboats, using machine guns and bazookas to fire on the bridges of passing civilian ships. The main purpose was to kill the crew, create an atmosphere of terror, and intimidate civilian ships.Their biggest achievement was the sinking of the bulk carrier "Atlantic Norman" with a load of 9 tons.The Iranian Revolutionary Guards also hijacked cargo ships bound for Iraq, Kuwait and other countries under the pretext of boarding inspections.

After the attack on ships expanded, the United States and other major powers finally intervened. The United States began to intervene in Iran by force, using a large number of warships to escort the two sides. In the end, the two sides clashed. The United States bombed Iran’s military and economic targets. Regarding the shooting down of the Iranian passenger plane, an Airbus A300 flight 655 of Iran Air, which took off from Bandar Abbas, Iran, to Dubai, was shot down by the US Navy's guided missile cruiser USS Vincennes, claiming that it was an F-14 fighter jet, causing hundreds of people on board to shoot down. people were killed.

Had it not been for the lessons learned from the quagmire of the Vietnam War, the United States would have sent ground troops to fight.

Qusai knows the history, so this attack on the ship must not be allowed to start, and the Iranian silkworm babies must not be dispatched.

As for Iran's successive acquisition of weapons from China, Qusay is even more troublesome.How to deal with the sale of weapons by the eastern power to Iran, Qusay has been thinking about what is the most appropriate way, but now it seems that it is necessary to cut the mess quickly, if even Dongfeng III missiles are also sold in the future , then Iraq will be in big trouble.

From the perspective of a country's leader, Qusay should lodge a strong protest and accuse China of this behavior, which violates the UN resolution on not providing weapons to the warring parties. It won't work.Moreover, because of the relationship in the previous life, because of the huge strategic relationship, the eastern power will be Iraq's strong shoulders, and Qusay's relationship with China cannot be stalemate.

"Please come to the Palace of the Republic tomorrow, the Chinese ambassador to Iraq." Qusay finally made up his mind.

We can't delay any longer, we must let China know the stakes, and cut off arms exports to Iran.

Tehran.

The Ministry of Defense building has collapsed, and Rafsanjani has moved to another relatively inconspicuous building, temporarily serving as the Ministry of Defense.

Now Iran's air defense is very empty, Iraq will come to attack at any time, he must be careful.

Two reports were placed on his desk. One was about the delivery of China's J-[-] fighter jets, which would be delayed for a few days. China actually delayed the construction period.

The other one is the Silkworm missile imported from China, which has been deployed to Delam Port and Bandar Abbas.

The supreme spiritual leader has issued an order to destroy Iraq's economic sources and attack their tankers!Not only Iraq, but even Kuwait, which supports Iraq, will be hit!

Regarding the orders of the Supreme Leader, Rafsanjani has always carried out without compromise, but he hesitated in this operation because he knows what it means once this war starts.

Chapter 438 Protest

The battle on the front line is still going on. The powerful armored group of the Southern Legion is constantly charging forward in the plains. Without air power and heavy power on the ground, the Iranian troops can't resist it at all.

The highest Iranian military commander, Rafsanjani, has completely given up on making fearless sacrifices in the plains and ordered the army to retreat to the mountains. Unfortunately, the order was issued a bit late. They were bitten by the Iraqi armored forces. Casualties were heavy during the retreat.

But the north is different. The north is originally a mountainous area. When the powerful northern group in Iraq attacked, it did not go so smoothly. They fought very bravely. At present, they have only approached Songol in the north before they can completely occupy Bakhta. Lan Province.

However, the current situation on the battlefield is that Iraq has firmly grasped the initiative of the war.

Under such circumstances, Qusay became more confident in his meeting with the Chinese ambassador to Iraq, Hou Yefeng.

In the Palace of the Republic, Qusai cordially received the Chinese ambassador to Iraq. Although Qusai has been deepening the relationship with the Chinese, but because his status was not high enough at the beginning, and later, he didn’t have time, so until now, This is the first time I have met this diplomat.

"Mr. Ambassador, it is a great pleasure to meet you." Qusay said.

Hou Yefeng looked at the cup of tea brought to him by the secretary. He knew it was very pure jasmine tea just by smelling it. , I am also very happy to meet you."

It has long been heard that His Excellency Qusay speaks Chinese very fluently. Those who have not heard it think it is just a boast, but now, Hou Yefeng knows that this is completely accurate. If the person in front of him is not an Arab If he looked at his face, or closed his eyes, he would definitely think that he was communicating with a fellow man.

"Your Excellency Qusay, your Chinese is so fluent. It's unbelievable." Hou Yefeng said, although as an ambassador to Iraq, Hou Yefeng's Arabic is very good, but not as fluent as the other party. Now they, is communicating in Chinese.

"Because I attach great importance to the relationship with your country." Qusay said: "China is a country with a long history of ancient civilizations, and so is Iraq. The story of the Arabian Nights, which has always been very popular in your country, comes from We, Baghdad, are the birthplace of ancient Babylonian civilization. Although we and China are still developing, I believe that in another ten or twenty years, we will become a big country on par with the United States in the world! "

The person in front of him suddenly showed such a domineering side, which made Hou Yefeng feel in a trance. The ambition of the person sitting in front of him was no less than that of President Saddam Hussein, or even greater.

However, becoming a big country in the world is something that every leader probably dreams of. Only such a country can have vigorous vitality.

"Under the leadership of a great man, your country is currently on the path of economic development. This is very pleasing to see. Although your country's economic aggregate is not good, the economic growth is very fast. For such a big country, we Iraq attaches great importance to developing friendly relations with your country," Qusay said.

"Thank you Your Excellency Qusay, we also attach great importance to the relationship with Iraq." Hou Yefeng said.

In fact, as a shrewd diplomat, Hou Yefeng already knew what Qu Sai meant. However, when engaging in politics and diplomacy, most of the time, he just talked a lot of nonsense and made a lot of circles. This is a routine.

"Although we in Iraq are currently in the just war against Iran's export revolution, our economy is a bit tense, but we also invest a lot of money in some projects in your country. Your country's Yunshi project and Super Seven project , that is, we have invested a large amount of money, otherwise, these projects have been cut off by your country." Qusay continued: "We attach great importance to the friendly relationship with your country, but it is a pity that some of your country It’s what we’re doing that chills us.”

"Your Majesty Qusai, your words are serious. We also attach great importance to the relationship with your country. We have provided your country with a large number of weapons, 69 tanks, and C801 anti-ship missiles to help your country fight this just war. " Hou Yefeng just realized that he had made a serious mistake when he was halfway through speaking, and he should never have brought it up!
