"What's going on inside Tehran?" Qusay asked.

"Tehran has stabilized, citizens have entered normalcy, and the Iranian National Liberation Army has taken to the streets and started patrolling. The suicide bombing attack you mentioned did not happen." Yourid said.

Qu Sai, who came from later generations, was very troubled by an unsolvable attack method, that is, a suicidal terrorist attack!In later generations, this is an attack method that often appears in this region, leaving superpowers helpless.

At present, this radical attack method has not yet appeared. What Qu Sai needs to do is to make it disappear invisible. At the same time, it is necessary to completely destroy the forces of the former government and prevent weapons from being scattered among the people. emergence of doctrine.

"Internationally, what is the attitude towards Iran's new government?" Qusay asked.

"In the Middle East, after our country, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait and other countries expressed their support for the new zhèngfǔ, almost all countries announced the establishment of diplomatic relations with the new zhèngfǔ, but Syria has not responded so far." Urid said.

Syria?Qusay knew that this country had a very close relationship with the former government of Iran, and the relationship with Iraq had never been very good. It was normal for them not to give face.

"What's the reaction from the West?" Qusay asked.

"In Western countries, so far, only France intends to send diplomats to Tehran, because it is afraid that the current situation in Tehran is still chaotic, and because it is indecisive, other Western countries are waiting and watching." Urid said.

France did this also for their benefit. Just a while ago, France once again signed an oil export agreement with Iraq, and this batch of oil was exported from the Abadan refinery. France's new government for Iran, of course is very welcome too.

With France, it would be even easier. Qusay knew that the rest of the Western countries were probably looking at the face of the United States.

This major strategic move has come to an end. As 83 is about to pass, Iraq's history has turned a new page, and it has established a close and friendly relationship with Iran's new zhèngfǔ!

……

"What? The US zhèngfǔ wants to establish diplomatic relations with the new Iranian regime in Tehran?" In Tel Aviv, Shamir was taken aback when he received the news.

Iraq's actions were too fast, so fast that Mossad did not react. Iraq's attack on Tehran was fast enough, but Iraq's support of a puppet zhèngfǔ was too fast for people to react.

The instructor team from Israel had just arrived in Yazd at this time. With the consent of the local garrison commander, they started training the six infantry divisions. The work of seizing power and brainwashing is in progress. They want to support It will take a long time to establish a regime that listens to their words.

All were taken by Iraq!The high-level officials listed above have been paying attention to the development of the situation in the past few days, but they are beyond their reach, they don't have enough reasons, and they still can't influence the current situation in Iran... What they need is time.

However, what Israel did not expect was that the US government actually wanted to establish diplomatic relations with the regime supported by Iraq. What does this mean?The US zhèngfǔ is still supporting Iraq until now!

Iraq will be so powerful that it will become a giant, shaking the ground in the Middle East... "Didn't our power in the United States try to stop it?" Shamir asked.

"They have tried their best to stop it, but the people in the United States are full of confidence in the new government, and there are very high voices in the country. If the US government can establish diplomatic relations with the new government, it will be a move made by Reagan. It is a major event with political achievements, which is very helpful for his re-election campaign..."

Reagan's re-election was helpful. He only cared about his own re-election, and never thought that if the new government was a puppet of Iraq, it would greatly increase Iraq's strength. A stronger Iraq would not only be bad for Israel, but also for the For the United States, it will also become a threat in the future!Because, Qusay in Iraq is a devil in the Middle East, and he will grow into a guy who is more difficult to deal with than the Iranian government!

It is a pity that the current Israel does not have enough strength to change all this. Although the Israeli air force can bomb Iraq at any time, they have no reason to send troops.

We want to speed up Odo's training and control of the Iranian army. In southern Iran, we will support another Iranian regime to fight against the Iraqi regime!Shamil looked out of the window, in the east, a red sun was slowly rising, and there must be no big country in the east!

What Qusay did not expect was that Iran's new government did not receive hostility from the Western world. The West actually ignored that Iraq was becoming stronger. Did they think that they would not pose any threat to them?

Qusay is very puzzled. The United States has also recognized Tehran's new zhèngfǔ, and plans to send a new ambassador to restore friendly relations with Iran. This measure of the United States has greatly increased the domestic people's favor for zhèngfǔ, because, that The old government that made the United States extremely depressed was finally killed. They hope that the United States can continue to support the new government and completely win over Iran.

Already some bold Americans have even started to plan to travel to Tehran. During the Pahlavi dynasty, various places of interest in Iran attracted countless foreigners to visit.

Does the United States really think that this new government will be as close to the West as the Pahlavi Dynasty?Although they overthrew the old zèngfǔ, I am afraid the change will not be so fast!

However, since the Americans are saving face so much, Qusay has also taken some measures to continue to promote the friendly relationship between the two sides. Weapons, but when Qusay wanted to obtain parts of F-14 fighter jets from the United States, he was rejected by the United States. In this way, the few F-14 fighter jets left in the Tehran Air Force Base that were donated as organs will never No chance to fly into the sky.

And Qusay knows that the current Iraqi government must hurry up and develop itself while maintaining relations with the United States!

Now, in the occupied area of ​​Iraq, Khuzestan Province is a major oil-producing province, while the eastern Kurdistan Province, Bakhtaran Province, and Hamadan have no oil resources, but on this Iranian plateau, But it has something more important for the development of industry that Iraq urgently needs: mineral resources!

For example, Bakhtaran Province, in later generations, is the main industrial city of Iran.

Therefore, Qusay's vision has been fixed on the focus of further development in Iraq: basic industries!

Now, although Iraq has established new tank and aircraft production lines, the most basic raw materials in Iraq, such as copper, still need to be imported. In this way, it is not good for Iraq to become an industrialized country. Iraq wants to rise Therefore, Qusai knew that it was time to get his Minister of Industry busy, develop mineral resources in the Iranian-occupied area, and supply Iraq’s own industrial needs!This is of great significance to Iraq.

While mining in mountainous areas, Iraq now urgently needs a large number of means of transportation: heavy-duty vehicles!

In fact, in recent battles, in order to supply front-line supplies, Iraq has requisitioned many civilian vehicles. Iraq's logistics supplies have long been unable to keep up with the development of the Iraqi army. The Iraqi military also urgently needs a large number of new trucks.

The introduction of a heavy-duty vehicle production line is the same as the introduction of aircraft and tank production lines, and production in Iraq. At the same time, it has become urgent to let this kind of vehicle gallop across the entire Middle East.

In front of Qu Sai's eyes, there appeared the classic heavy-duty car that blossomed everywhere in China in later generations.

Chapter 564 Steyr Heavy Truck

In terms of global automobile manufacturing, Mercedes-Benz is naturally the first to be promoted. As a German company, Mercedes-Benz has a consistent rigorous style and strong R&D capabilities. After ten years and billions of marks spent on research and development, it was finally the latest model that was put on the market in the late 80s.In later generations, this kind of car was eventually introduced to China and produced in Baotou, called North Benz.Although China has heavy-duty semi-trailers such as Jiefang, Dongfeng, Auman, and Delong in later generations, the performance of North Benz still exceeds these models. This is the technology of the late 60s in Germany!

At present, NG80 series trucks have a world-leading technical level.For example, as the basis of the whole vehicle, the chassis frame of the whole vehicle is not a structure with the same width at the front and rear made of ordinary channel steel, but a frame with unequal width, variable cross-section, and side beam fish maw structure. Mercedes-Benz's unique frame technology can not only reduce weight and size, but also greatly improve the frame's bending strength, torsional elasticity and ability to withstand asymmetrical cyclical alternating impact loads.In other words, it can also maintain a certain speed when passing through difficult road sections, without worrying about the frame being deformed due to excessive impact.

The work and survivability of this Mercedes-Benz truck in harsh environments has been greatly improved, especially in the aspect of logistics transportation support under wartime conditions.

However, its disadvantage is also very obvious, that is, this kind of car is too expensive!

Although Iraq has abundant oil resources buried under its soil, if Qusay hadn't deliberately developed Iraq's industrial and military power, these funds would have been distributed to every Iraqi, enough to make each of them an enviable rich man.However, His Excellency Qusay tightened his belt and led the Iraqi people to build an industrialized country.

A large sum of money in Iraq was used for investment. Those planes, missiles, and tanks accounted for a large part of Iraq’s financial expenditure. Qusay did not reach out to his Arab brothers like Saddam Hussein in history Borrowing money is already very good.

Although His Excellency Qusay is very generous at certain times, for example, fighter jets, Mirage 4000 worth tens of millions of dollars each, His Excellency Qusay did not blink, and let his Air Force equip himself with pre-war planes worth hundreds of millions of dollars, Your Excellency Qusay is also very generous.However, at certain times, Your Excellency Qusay is also very stingy. For example, the last time he visited France, he did not live in a high-end hotel.As a result, other people who went abroad later had to lower their own standards.After entering Baghdad, they often went to the homes of high-level Iraqi figures to have dinner. In a sense, they cared about the lives of these high-level figures and got closer to them. But in private, they were all guessing whether His Excellency Qusay wanted to save money. The cost of eating at home.

Cars, unlike fighter jets, need to be equipped in large quantities. In addition to military use, there is also a large market for civilian use.Qusay estimates that there will be a demand for [-] vehicles in at least five years in Iraq, so Iraq needs to be able to afford this kind of car.

Another point of consideration is that the German NG-80 car has excellent performance, but also has a lot of conditions for use and maintenance, which is a bit delicate.

What Iraq needs is to take into account performance while being strong and durable, just like the Type 69 tank made in China, which can adapt to the brutal and rough treatment of the author. In this case, Steyr is also a very good choice, although Steyr The various performance indicators of its products are not as high as those of Mercedes-Benz, but they are enough for use in Iraq, and the cost of production and maintenance is very low. With the actual test of later generations on the land of China, Qusay has already set his sights on the Steyr-Daimler-Puch AG Truck Branch in Austria.

Just before the New Year in 1984, Qusay sent a delegation to the Austrian company to inspect the company's 91 series heavy trucks.

The North, the Red Empire, the Soviet Union.

"Currently, the situation in Iran is very complicated." Ashoke, who was in charge of Middle East affairs of the KGB First Directorate, personally reported to these top figures in the Soviet Union, and he seemed a little excited.

After calming down the words, Ashoke said: "Currently, Tehran, the capital of Iran, has been taken down by Iraq. After calming down the situation in Tehran, Iraq withdrew most of its troops. Currently, it is responsible for Tehran's security work. The Iranian National Liberation Army is mainly in charge. At the same time, Iran’s nominal president, Rajawi, is the leader of this army. However, there are many Iraqi instructors at the grassroots level of this army who are in charge of training, that is to say, In fact, this army is also in the hands of Iraq."

"Has Tehran's current government been recognized by other parts of Iran?" Defense Minister Ustinov asked.

"No, now, apart from the occupied areas of Iraq, in other provinces and regions, there is currently no statement. The army loyal to the original zhèngfǔ still maintains armed forces. Among them, in the Yazd area, Iran's newly established six infantry divisions, A series of training is currently underway, and the atmosphere of combat readiness is very strong. In northwest Iran, the original Iranian troops did not respond."

"That is to say, although Iran seems to be calm on the surface, this battle will soon be fought?" Ustinov asked.

"There is a possibility that Iran has not moved for the time being, because Iraq has always been the main attack, and after Iraq captured Tehran, their northern military region has been exhausted after a long period of fighting. They are currently mainly resting. It is estimated that within a few months, there will be no greater war in Iran, and both sides are accumulating strength."

"It's a pity, the little Qusay in Iraq should take advantage of the victory to liberate the whole of Iran." Ustinov said: "Since Qusay doesn't have that much ability, we in the Soviet Union are very willing to help them maintain the stability of Iran." .”

Compared with Qusay, who was less than 20 years old, the youngest of them was also over [-]. The man named Iraq was naturally called the little guy.

Gorbachev looked at the Minister of Defense with shining golden eyes, and knew what the other party was thinking. He began to regret his original remarks.
