"That army?" A staff officer in charge said: "They have trained very seriously, and it is estimated that in a few months, they will be able to undertake the task of suppressing bandits."

As an occupying force, some people in the northern military region have a very ambiguous attitude towards them.

That is obviously a puppet army, why does His Excellency Qu Sai look at them so differently, even if they are equipped with light weapons, why are they even equipped with tanks?

Qusay heard the dissatisfaction in the staff officer's tone, and he said: "This army is our friendly army. They will fight side by side with us, shed blood and die together for the liberation of the Iranian people, and, in just a few months After that, they will face the first arduous task since their establishment, this army is a brave and glorious army!" Qu Sai said the word "glory" very emphatically.

Chapter 528 Additional purchase of Il-76

In the Ministry of National Defense, after inspecting the recent battle situation, Qusay made a major deployment, planning to plan a surprise attack when the Iranian defenses were the most lax, and take Tehran by unconventional means.

After the inspection, the preparations for this battle have been carried out in an orderly manner.

When Qusay returned to the Palace of the Republic, he received a request to meet with the Soviet ambassador to Iraq.

Unexpectedly, the Soviet Union would reply so soon this time?Qusay was suddenly full of confidence in this arms sale, and he had to add another one, buying ten Il-76 transport planes!

Qusay originally wanted to wait for Yun-76 to be fully finalized before equipping it with a transport aircraft converted from this airliner, but now, that time is too late. Iraq urgently needs a strategic transport force. First, it will buy ten Il-[-] transport aircraft. Solve the urgent need.

"Mr. Barkovsky, has your country replied?" Qusay asked.

"Yes, the Soviet Union and Iraq are countries with great friendship. We attach great importance to the relationship with Iraq. Therefore, this time, under the kind care of our general secretary, we finally agreed in principle to export these things to your country. agreement," Barkovsky said.

After receiving the agreement handed over by the other party, Qusay read it carefully. Except for the request for the production line of the Mi-24 armed helicopter and the improvement of the avionics equipment of the Su-25 attack aircraft, he did not agree to the requests he raised. The Soviet Union agreed to export, especially after seeing that the Soviet Union also passed the large-scale computer. The OTP-23 surface-to-surface missile that I had been looking forward to for a long time, the other party also agreed to export [-] pieces. You know, this is improved, and the final range can reach The accuracy and range of the [-]-kilometer surface-to-surface ballistic missile far surpassed that of the Scud missile, and more importantly, it was a missile with a solid engine!

The use of solid fuel means that it has acquired the ability to strike quickly. After the successful development of its own nuclear weapons, it will have the ability to deter the entire Middle East when its own nuclear weapons are successfully developed. Israel, the US military in Turkey, these potential enemies , are all within the range of their strikes.

Although Qusay has been sparing no effort to develop cruise missiles, which will be the darling of the future battlefield, ballistic missiles are the trump card and a weapon that Iraq needs!With this kind of surface-to-surface missile, and then carry out reverse mapping and imitation, Iraq's ballistic missile project will also develop from scratch.

Compared with fighter jets, the technology of ballistic missiles is actually much simpler. All North Korea’s ballistic missiles are developed from Scud missiles imported from Syria. model.Qusay is even more confident, because Iraq's electronic technology has come far ahead.This kind of thing is useless if there are too many, but it must be available. This is nuclear deterrence. Like the United States and the Soviet Union, there are thousands of nuclear warheads, but they have never been launched in actual combat, which is a waste of money.

Future wars will still be conventional wars, with high-tech wars as the mainstay. Qusay has an accurate grasp of the pulse of history, and this is his advantage.

It's just that the Soviets were also very shrewd and actually raised the price. However, Qusay knew that the Soviet Union was short of money now, and that this deal could be concluded, I'm afraid this is also a very important aspect.

"Your Excellency Qusay, have the investigation results come out regarding the survivor on the unidentified plane?" Barkovsky asked. For him, this is the most important thing. This matter is of great importance.

"After our investigation, one of our cargo ships did rescue a man of unknown nationality, and also picked up two corpses." Qusay said: "We have a great friendship with the Soviet Union. Since the Soviet Union If we need this man, we are willing to give it to the Soviet Union free of charge. However, you also know that Iraq cannot be involved in this matter. I hope that when you announce the news in the future, you will explain that this man was picked up by your own cargo ship. At that time, Iraq will not accept any responsibility or acknowledge any connection with this man."

They are all savvy people, so they push themselves away completely, or donate for free, what a price the Soviet Union spent!Even the very advanced surface-to-surface missiles in the Soviet Union's own army, which were banned from sale internationally, were sold to Iraq.

Chen Bingyong did not expect that although he was alive, he was sadder than death. He was transported to a certain country on a cargo ship like a prisoner. After being interrogated, he was shamefully betrayed by the other party again. This time, he was betrayed to the Soviet Union. When I was flying a passenger plane tremblingly over Sakhalin Island, I was afraid of being captured by the Soviet Union. Now, after turning around, I have reached the most terrifying ending.

Hearing these words from Qusai, Barkovsky knew that the deal was basically concluded, so he had done a big enough thing during his term of office.Unexpectedly, what Qu Sai said next made him even more delighted.

"In addition to these items, we also want to import several Il-76 transport aircraft from the Soviet Union to meet our needs for front-line transportation of materials." Qusay continued.

The Il-76 transport aircraft is a large transport aircraft with a total take-off weight of 170 tons. Under normal circumstances, it can transport 150 tons of cargo, or [-] fully armed soldiers. A country's army can only have this Only large transport aircraft can have the ability to project troops over long distances.

Since this aircraft was equipped with the Soviet army in 1975, the Soviet Union did have plans to export this transport aircraft.

"Your country is our friendly country, and there is no problem buying this kind of transport aircraft," Barkovsky said.

"We hope to deliver as soon as possible." Qu Sai said, this kind of transport aircraft, now in the golden age of the Soviet Union, the annual output is only 50, and now he is very urgently in need of this transport aircraft.

"We will convey it to the country. If it is convenient, the first batch will be delivered before the end of the year." Barkovsky said.

I hope so, Qusay said in his heart, this time it was a bit hasty, but the industry in the Soviet Union is still very sound, and Qusay is not very worried.In later generations, Russia suffered a serious brain drain. It often happened that the deposit had been paid, but it was found that the project could not be completed at all. Not only that, but also because of the extension of the construction period, a large amount of additional funds would be required. Ah San often took advantage of this.

This incident can almost be said to be a success. After sending away the Soviet ambassador to Iraq, Qusay knew that the rest was to wait and see their excitement. Unfortunately, the Soviet Union did not know how to use it. Public opinion is such a means, do you need to add some material to them at the right time?

And another matter should also be conveyed to the Soviet Union by Adelina in due course.

In 1983, another thing happened in history: the United States invaded Grenada!

Grenada is a Caribbean island country located 160 kilometers north of Venezuela with a population of just over [-]. Here, the United States has always regarded it as their own back garden, and Grenada is still on the main waterway.

In 1974, the island country was dúlì from the control of the United Kingdom. In 1979, the New Jewel Movement Party, which advocated Marxism-Leninism, launched a revolution to abolish the country's constitution and established a new government headed by Bishop.Since then, the relationship between Grenada and Cuba has become closer, which has attracted the attention of the United States.For some reason, on October 1983, 10, a coup took place in Grenada, and Bishop was placed under house arrest. On the 12th, a faction supporting Bishop organized a demonstration of thousands of people in the capital and clashed with the army. Bishop and three cabinet ministers were killed by the army.

The United States thought this was a very good opportunity, so on October 10th, under the pretext of "protecting" the diaspora, the United States joined forces with seven Caribbean countries including Jamaica, Dominica, and Barbados to send troops to Grenada and occupy most of Grenada's territory.

This war, for the United States, is a very important war, because this is the first time since the United States suffered a disastrous failure in its invasion of Vietnam, it is the first time to try to use force to solve the problem. won the battle.The military strength of the United States has been tested in this war, and the self-confidence of the military has begun to rise again. Since then, it has been trying to use force to resolve various local disputes.

In this war, it is of great significance to give the Americans a head-on blow and let them know that wars cannot be launched at will. Therefore, Qusay has long decided to intervene in this matter and not let the Americans It's so easy to achieve the goal.

Although Qusay decided to intervene, how to intervene is very particular. Iraq directly sent troops to snipe the American soldiers in the frontal battlefield?Iraq does not have that kind of strength yet, and Qusay will not let his soldiers go to that kind of war.

Although Qu Sai did not act himself, but he knew that if a certain country got the news, it would definitely not be able to resist. In history, that country did not make a move because the United States acted too fast, and that country did not The global fleet didn't react at all, as long as they are given enough time, they will definitely help their friends!

However, how to pass this news to the Soviet Union requires a lot of thinking and a reasonable excuse. I can't let Adelina tell the KGB superiors, this is what I came up with, right?

Chapter 529 Engine Failure

"Your Excellency Qusay, the British side has sent a report." A secretary walked in and handed Qusay a report from the UK.

Qu Sai picked it up and looked at it, he was overjoyed immediately, he knew that she would live up to his expectations and handle things quickly.

According to that document, the pre-warning aircraft project has been negotiated with the British side, and Iraq will inject 8000 million US dollars in funds to ensure the follow-up research progress of this kind of pre-alarm aircraft. At the same time, at a price of 7000 million US dollars each , buy two hunting fans from the United Kingdom, and the price of each set is 5000 million US dollars, and then buy two sets of early warning systems, and install them on the airframes provided by Iraq.

In this case, Iraq itself will have four early warning aircraft.

Although there is no mention of transferring the technology of this kind of early warning aircraft, but in terms of the project, in order to ensure that it adapts to the environment in the Middle East, the early warning aircraft that is being tested will be tested at the base in Iraq. At the same time, Ousheng Electronics , will send about [-] electronic engineers to overcome various technical difficulties with the engineers of British Aerospace Corporation. After receiving a large number of electronic engineers, the strength of Ousheng Electronics cannot be underestimated.

They are all British companies, so the Aerospace Corporation and the British government did not raise any objections. For them, this project has been cancelled, and they will buy American early warning aircraft. This project is at best just to make money.

They don't know that the real boss of Ousheng Electronics Company is His Excellency Qusai from Iraq. During the process of cooperating with the engineers of Ousheng Electronics Company, they will get all the technologies of this early warning system, so that If so, it is equivalent to Iraq having the technology of early warning aircraft.

Although Sarah was coordinating with several countries when she said that, in fact, Sarah didn't go anywhere. She can decide these projects by herself.

Sarah played the cards of a few countries that didn't exist at all, and fooled the British and let them lower the price. The technology of the radar system has been roughly understood.

Ousheng Electronics Company, under Sarah, a strong woman, began to enter the field of military electronics.

This report made Qusay very happy. As a multiplier of air combat power, the early warning aircraft is an important aspect to measure the strength of a country's air force. The construction of the C3I system in Iraq is now, and the early warning aircraft system is also a very important link. , there has been no breakthrough.

The technology of the United States is advanced, but Iraq can’t buy it. The Tu-126, which is backward in technology from the Soviet Union, Qusay doesn’t like, and the advanced An-50 early warning aircraft, the Soviet Union has not yet equipped troops. Moreover, this kind of early warning aircraft is verbal. It is claimed to be advanced, but it is actually far from it.

Looking around the world, Qusay finally got on top of this aborted pre-warning machine in history, hoping to achieve a positive result in the Middle East.

As the birthplace of the first radar, the research and development of radar technology in the UK is still relatively advanced, but the pre-warning machine encountered the same fate as Yunshi and died in the hands of the comprador class. Qusay was able to take it over. I am already very satisfied, although this kind of early warning machine is not a big round plate, but just two big radars at the front and back, but this is already a very good level for Iraq.

The arrival of this report made Qusay finally think of Sarah in the UK. It was really unsatisfactory that he hadn’t contacted her for so long. From knowing Sarah to the present, she has given herself a lot. It is too much.

Qusay remembered the meaning of the Saudi royal family. They hoped that they could marry this princess. Looking at it now, this princess has a deep affection for him. Moreover, Qusay also has a good impression of her, but he has never shown it. It's just coming out, and now the gratitude to her is coming up again, Qu Sai knows that in his heart, he may not only be grateful, but also have other strange feelings inside.

Captain Omar stepped into the cockpit of the Mirage 4000 fighter jet, ready to perform a routine cruise mission over the Persian Gulf.

Since the Mirage 4000 entered Iraq, they have not carefully treasured this fighter like the most precious thing. This kind of long-range fighter is frequently used in the Iraqi Air Force, because only this fighter has enough air combat Capability and great range to cruise the entire Persian Gulf.
