Hassar had already recognized it, and she was taken aback. It turned out that the rumors outside were all true.

The person lying on the bed is the President of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, and the one in the Palace of the Republic is a stand-in.

It's all very simple, no wonder His Excellency Qusay can wield all the power now, while that President Saddam hardly has any power now, because, the real Saddam, here!

"After the president was assassinated, he never woke up. Therefore, everything here is a big secret that affects the fate of the entire Iraq, and there must be no mistakes." Yourid said.

Needless to say, Hassar also knows that if the secrets here are leaked out, it will be very scary. However, the most dangerous time has passed. His Excellency Qusay has taken over all the power and secured his position. .

"Has it been a few months since the assassination?" Hassar asked, "Why hasn't the president woke up yet?"

"The doctor analyzed that it was poisoned, but they have not found a solution. It is said that this is a very ancient poison." Urid said.

But Hassar began to panic in her heart. She connected everything she knew, and the truth became clearer and clearer.

The president was poisoned, probably Alamut did it?This ancient poison, in the entire Middle East, is probably only found in its own organization.

Although he was somewhat certain, Hassar knew that now was definitely not the time to reveal the secret. Even if he took out the antidote and brought President Saddam back to normal, he still couldn’t explain the source of the antidote. It's best not to get involved in this matter, otherwise, with Director Yurid's astuteness, he will definitely find something wrong with him.

Moreover, if she restores President Saddam, it may not be a good thing. Hassar can gradually rise up in a department like the Messiah Bureau and become the leader of the Assassin organization. She is naturally very smart. Yes, I figured out all the problems in an instant.

Now His Excellency Qusay has gradually gained power in Iraq. If President Saddam wakes up, His Excellency Qusay’s position will be awkward. Although His Excellency Qusay is doing his best to heal his father, is it for others? The veterans of the Baath Party have read it, so they are not clear.

Therefore, if she stays here, she can't act rashly and cause trouble for Qusay. On the contrary, this poison is only valid for one year, and she can add some weight to President Saddam, which can be regarded as being able to help His Excellency Qusay Bar!

Hassar has already fallen in love with Qusai very much, but for Qusai's father, he doesn't have so much affection. For Qusai's great cause, doing something like this is not considered to Hassal at all. What.

If necessary, she can even help Qusay to get rid of this burden. As the leader of the killer organization, Hassar has a face like a peach blossom and a heart like a poisonous scorpion. Body, but also for lovers.

If President Saddam knew that the person sent to protect him had such thoughts in his heart, he wondered if he would sit up from the hospital bed angrily and order the soldiers of the Republican Guard outside the door to kill her completely. Unload eight pieces.

……… Thyssen-North Sea Shipyard, Germany.

Two submarines were at the pier preparing to leave the port. On the submarines, the crew members wearing orange life jackets were making preparations before departure.

From the appearance, this conventional diesel-electric submarine is very similar to the 209 submarine manufactured by this shipyard, except that there are two horizontal rudders on the side of the higher conning tower, while the 209 class is the bow horizontal rudder.

At this time, on the command tower, the captains of the two submarines are looking into the distance. They are the Iraqi Navy Lieutenant Commanders Mustafa and Ismail. Their two submarines are the TR-1700s that are about to return home. submarine!

After negotiating with Argentina, Iraq finally got these two submarines. The Germans are also very talkative. As long as they pay the final payment, they can drive away the submarines, but the Iraqi navy who came to receive them did not do so, because this is They were receiving submarines for the first time, and they had no operational experience.

Therefore, the Iraqi Navy was not in a hurry to drive the two submarines back, but paid high tuition fees to the Germans to train their own operators.

Due to the adoption of the Dutch SINBADS combat system, which is an improved product of the Dutch Walrus-class Gipsy combat system, it has a high degree of automation. The entire ship, including officers, can be operated by only 29 people. Therefore, it came to Germany to receive submarines. And there are less than 60 people studying in total, but their tuition fees are handed over to Germany for hundreds of thousands of dollars. After several months of study, they have only initially mastered the essentials of operating the entire submarine. Strategy and tactics require the comprehension ability of the crew, especially the captain himself.

However, even though it was a crash course, they still benefited a lot. In the world, when it comes to the use of submarines, the Germans are definitely ranked first. Each has a German consultant who will continue to help them familiarize themselves with the operation of the submarine.

Chapter 486 Advice from German consultants

"Two planes start, one forward." Mustafa on the command tower said.

The TR-1700 submarine is equipped with four MTU diesel engines with a total power of 6720 horsepower, which are used to drive four generators, and then drive a propeller at the tail through electricity. This is also a unique power combination method for submarines.

General warships directly use the engine to drive the tail propeller, which has the highest mechanical efficiency, but it is not suitable for submarines, because, except for the situation on the sea surface and the depth of the snorkel, the rest of the time, Submarines need to navigate underwater. For ordinary diesel-electric submarines, underwater navigation can only rely on the battery pack in the lower part of the hull to provide power. The more batteries, the greater the capacity, the greater the underwater self-sustaining power Large, and the TR-17002000 has a displacement of more than 120 tons, which has enough space to accommodate eight battery packs each consisting of 25 units. Therefore, the underwater self-sustaining force is also the largest, but even so, sailing at low speed underwater, It can only last for a few days. If it is going at full speed at a speed of [-] knots, then it only takes one hour to consume all the power.

Therefore, nuclear submarines are king. Relying on unlimited endurance, they can stay underwater for a long time, and the time they can last depends entirely on the endurance of the crew.

Diesel-electric submarines are not far behind, and have invented a variety of AIP submarines to help ordinary submarines achieve greater underwater voyage time.

Therefore, ordinary diesel-electric submarines, in order to achieve the purpose of sharing, use the diesel engine to drive the generator, and then use the power of the generator to drive the motor at the tail. Moreover, this has another use, that is, it can be used on the water surface or through the snorkel. At depth, while navigating with the electricity generated by the diesel engine, the excess electricity is used to charge the battery.

Because at the time of departure, the power of the battery is full, because the efficiency of the propeller is not high on the water, and the maximum speed is only 15 knots, and because there are too many ships in the port, Mustafa only ordered to start Two diesel engines, the power, is enough to drive the submarine for the current voyage.

Following Mustafa's order, the engineering crew began to activate the two diesel engines.

Large diesel engines start in different ways from cars. Cars rely on batteries to drive motors, and the motors drive the engine to a certain speed before starting. However, even if large motors are made, they do not have strong power to drive them. Therefore, large diesel engines are Started by compressed air.

With the operation of the crew, through a set of air distribution system with complex pipelines, the compressed air is input into different cylinders according to the movement sequence of the pistons, pushing the pistons to move, and the huge crankshaft rotates faster and faster, finally reaching the The speed is required, and then, the fuel injector starts to inject fuel and burn in the cylinder. The sound of the diesel engine is smooth and orderly, and it is finally started.

As an advanced diesel-electric submarine born out of the 209 submarine, noise reduction was a key point in the design. These four diesel generator sets are all arranged on double-layer elastic cushions and realize fully enclosed management, so that the diesel engine emits The noise couldn't get through, and even Mustafa on the conning tower could only hear the tiny noise of the diesel engine.

The large five-blade propeller at the tail began to rotate, and the surrounding sea water was stirred, which was converted into thrust on the propeller. The hull of more than 2000 tons began to move forward slowly. This propeller was also designed repeatedly, and the speed was only [-] revolutions. per minute, can effectively reduce the noise.

"Left rudder three." Seeing that he left the berth, the captain gave the order again.

The faster the speed of the ship, the higher the efficiency of the rudder. At this time, the speed of the submarine is only a few knots. Therefore, the hull is only slowly turned under the push of the rudder current.

In the east, a round of red sun has risen, and the golden light is sprinkled on the blue sea. Everywhere, boats can be seen constantly busy, departing or arriving, and they are all sailing to their destinations.

And our side, the ship with the largest tonnage in the Iraqi Navy, has already started sailing to its destination, the motherland, we are back!

There are quite a lot of ships in the sea area near this port. In order to avoid collisions with other ships, Mustafa set up a lookout post on the conning tower. He took another breath of fresh air outside, followed the ladder, and walked To the inside of the command tower.

Then, he heard a sonorous voice. Although he couldn't understand the words, he could also hear the dissatisfaction in the tone, because the other party spoke German.

Leo, 41 years old, is a highly paid German consultant hired by Iraq.After graduating with honors from the Submarine Academy, Leo served on several submarines, eventually reaching the position of captain.And his father, who used to be a captain of a German submarine in World War II, fought in the famous wolf pack tactics in the Atlantic Ocean for more than a year, and finally escaped the attack of the Allied forces and returned to Germany safely. Enlightenment, he has a deep understanding of submarine operations and tactics. After retiring from the command post, he went to teach at the Submarine Academy. The Iraqi side spent a lot of money and effort, and finally hired him. To serve as the submarine's adviser.

Luca, the German consultant on another submarine, was sent by the shipyard and knew all the technical aspects of the entire submarine well.

After listening to Leo's speech, an interpreter next to him began to translate Leo's words into Arabic: "Consultant Leo said, our submarine is about to enter the sea for a voyage of more than 20 days. This is the voyage you have planned. Plan? Sailing on the sea all the time, and avoiding the main channel, you are submariners! As long as you go out to sea, you should hide yourself underwater, I feel ashamed for you!"

Due to the high degree of automation of the submarine, the required personnel are greatly reduced. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to be like other old-fashioned submarines, because the space is not enough, the bed design is very tight, three people sleep on one bed, and the work is three shifts In this case, someone is always sleeping on the bed, so this kind of bed is called a hot bed.Now, more than 2000 beds are designed on this 40-ton submarine. In addition to being used by the crew, it can also carry an additional squad.

But now, in addition to the Iraqi submariners, there are also German advisers on board, as well as a translator for the German advisers.

After listening to the translated words, Mustafa frowned. This German consultant has always been very rigorous and conscientious. In the previous trainings at sea, he had strict requirements. It seems that this time is no exception. .

However, in the past, the operation training of the whole boat was only carried out near the port, but now, it is necessary to operate this submarine on a long-distance voyage back to Iraq. In order to avoid accidents on the way, Navy Commander Nasser personally ordered to ensure safety.

You must know that although the submarine has a huge advantage of concealment, as a submarine soldier, the danger is also very huge. In the event of an accident, the ship on the sea can be rescued by other ships. , very likely, will become the living coffin of the whole crew.

Therefore, for the safety of navigation, before departure, they made a plan to sail from the sea, and because in the vast sea, even if the submarine sails on the surface, it is not easy to be visually spotted by distant ships. Colliding, they deliberately avoided the busy international routes, and as a result, the German advisers were greatly annoyed.

Seeing the captain come down, Leo went on to say: "Captain Mustafa, the submarine under our feet is used for war, and this long-distance sea voyage is a rare opportunity to practice. , Returning to Iraq from the sea, this is a big waste, we are driving a submarine, not a freighter!"

When a foreigner says this about themselves, everyone can't hold back their faces. As Iraqi naval fighters, as fighters of the great Lord Qusay, they are absolutely not afraid of death, but the key is that the order of the Navy Command is like this .

Now that they have left the port, they want to communicate with the headquarters. The communication tool used by the submarine is the long-wave radio. This kind of long-wave radio has a narrow bandwidth, a small amount of information, and a long time. Therefore, communication satellites are widely used in later generations.Moreover, because Iraq just now has a submarine force, and the supporting long-wave radio station is still being installed and debugged, the captain has the final say on the current situation at sea.

All eyes were on the captain.

Mustafa also hesitated in his heart. This time is indeed a good opportunity. After the submarine returns to Iraq, many times, they will probably be brought to the submarine base in the Persian Gulf, in the back garden of the Persian Gulf, The chances of being able to sail the oceans will be few and far between.This is a rare opportunity to train troops, and it is also an assessment of the crew training during this period. The Iraqi Navy definitely did not buy a few submarines to pretend, but to fight!

"Send a message to the headquarters that we will conduct adaptive training during the return voyage, and we will definitely remain safe during the training." The captain issued an order.

Maybe the base couldn't receive it, the deputy captain was about to say, but suddenly realized that the captain's idea was really good.

After contacting another submarine, the two submarines finally unified their actions and revised the previous plan. During the return process, they will conduct a series of adaptive training, including simple diving, surfacing, including underwater Sailing silently, including using some passing ships on the channel as imaginary enemies, and practicing torpedo attack tactics.
