The Dimona reactor is a nuclear test reactor that was built in the 50s. Its power is only 75 megawatts. Therefore, this nuclear reactor located on the edge of the African plate and in the desert area does not provide electricity at all. The nuclear reactor, to the outside world, is an experimental reactor for the peaceful research of nuclear energy in Israel.

Only the higher-ups listed in sè know that this reactor has been providing them with nuclear materials, and the nuclear program listed in sè started from here.

Israel has never signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which means that their nuclear reactor will not be supervised by the International Atomic Energy Agency. In this case, everything here can only be controlled by Israel itself.

If Israel wants to become a big country, it must possess nuclear weapons!

Next to the Dimona nuclear reactor, Israel has established a series of secret research institutions. Here, the nuclear weapons experts of Israel have been working silently for the sake of the strength of Israel. In the eyes of hostile forces, their nuclear weapons are a powerful umbrella to protect the Jews!

However, they didn't know that Mordechai Vanunu, a fellow Jewish compatriot and a technician working here, was in a very bad mood.

Vanunu was born in a Jewish family in Morocco in 1954. During the movement in the early 60s, the whole family moved to Israel and has since settled in Israel.Infected by the authorities, Vanunu resolutely joined the army. After several years as an engineer, Vanunu retired and went to study at Tel Aviv University, but was expelled because he failed the physics exam. At the beginning of 1977, Vanunu got a job opportunity to work as a technician at the Dimona nuclear project in the Negev Desert. After he came, he knew that this was a base for researching nuclear weapons!The job was secret, and he and the other newcomers were required to sign an oath of secrecy.It stipulates that anyone who leaks secrets will be sentenced to 15 years in prison.Originally, he was also a staunch Zionist. He felt extremely honored to be able to participate in the Israeli nuclear weapon development program. He was full of pride, worked extremely hard, and stood out among the newcomers.

However, Vanunu's thinking is slowly changing. The current area of ​​Israel is much larger than the area of ​​the original UN resolution, and those Palestinians are displaced. Why can't the two sides live in peace?

In particular, the year before last, Israel was able to disregard UN resolutions and brazenly invaded Lebanon, which caused a fundamental change in his thinking and turned against Israel's foreign garrison. He believed that such behavior, It's naked aggression.The following columns need to be strong, but they must not be based on barbaric aggression against foreign countries!

Just a few days ago, Vanunu participated in a campaign for the release of a soldier who was imprisoned for refusing to serve in the occupied Arab territories. He felt that the soldier was doing the right thing, but was met with zhèngfǔ The unreasonable imprisonment of the government is even more unreasonable for the government's brutal behavior.However, after returning from the parade, Vanunu received a warning from the base leader to restrain him.This kind of warning is very serious.

Vanunu's mood began to become extremely uneven. He was full of disgust for the work he was doing now. The work he was doing now would make the government more confident to invade the outside world!Everything he's doing now is wrong.

Angrily, Vanunu started an action that he didn't even consider the consequences. He secretly brought the camera into his work, and when he was on night shift, when no one was paying attention, he started to take pictures of his working environment and operate by himself. those machines, centrifuges for enriching uranium.

The leaders of the Dimona nuclear project did not pay too much attention to Vanunu, because Vanunu's hard work in the past few years left a good impression on them, and they thought that Vanunu was only temporarily affected Affected by bad emotions, they didn't supervise him more, and they didn't know that Vanunu was doing something that put them in doom. This person is a sinner listed in Israel!

The Dimona nuclear project has now reached the most critical point. They will detonate Israel's first nuclear weapon within two months, and they have also chosen the method of underground nuclear testing.Few people are particularly concerned about that little technician.

At this time, in the United States, a special conference was being held, attended by 20 official representatives from 500 countries, including representatives of the Soviet Union.Among them are scientists, diplomatic envoys and officials from various countries, government officials from all over the United States, educators, environmental experts, business leaders, foreign policy makers and military figures.Discuss one of the latest theories put forward by the United States: nuclear winter.

"In a nuclear war with a yield of 50 billion tons, 9.6 million tons of fine dust and 2.25 million tons of black smoke can be thrown into the air, covering the sky, and the sunlight that hits the earth is absorbed by these black smoke particles and becomes hot , the heated black smoke will generate an updraft, push the black particles to the stratosphere at a height of 30 kilometers, and destroy the ozone layer. In this way, the whole earth will become a dark gray world , the sky is no longer clear, thick clouds of smoke cover the sky, lingering all day long, the land can no longer see the sun, it is difficult to distinguish day from night, the temperature drops sharply, green vegetation freezes to death, oceans and rivers freeze, and the earth's ecology suffers. It will be seriously damaged, and the living conditions of human beings will be destroyed.” Carl Sagan, an astronomer at Cornell University in the United States, put forward his own theory to them: In a nuclear war, there is no winner, and the entire earth will face the extinction of life!

Chapter 581 F-14 Turning Waste into Treasure

Both the United States and the Soviet Union have a large number of nuclear weapons, and they have also built military bases that can withstand nuclear attacks. They built steel bases hundreds of meters underground, and built huge hydraulic buffer devices on the base of the entire base. The resulting earthquake will also be buffered.Therefore, for the United States and the Soviet Union, the so-called "mutual destruction" theory is not absolutely deterrent. They are both confident that they can survive the nuclear attack of the other side and fight back.

However, the proposal of the "nuclear winter" theory by American scholars made the participants understand the destructive effect of nuclear war. This ecological disaster will last for hundreds of years. No country can store food for hundreds of years. , No country can have clean air after a nuclear war attack, no one can survive after a nuclear war, if a nuclear war really breaks out, it will be the complete extinction of mankind.

Gorbachev, a heavyweight in the Soviet Union, also attended the meeting. Hearing the American's statement, everyone shuddered, and Gorbachev strengthened his thoughts. During the husband and wife period, the nuclear weapons vigorously developed by the Soviet Union were of no use at all except to bring a heavy economic burden to the Soviet Union. To reduce destructive weapons and control the arms race, if he can take over the power of the Soviet Union, this is his future policy a key aspect of .

The Soviet Union has entered the wrong track, and I must turn him around!Gorbachev is full of confidence. Now, his good friend of more than ten years, Ligachev, Minister of the Central Organization, has said many good things for him in front of General Secretary Chernenko, and is his biggest supporter. Under Qiaofu's strong recommendation, Chernenko stopped listening to objections and gradually began to support Gorbachev.

Moreover, Ligachev is using his status to persuade the other two elders in the party: Politburo member, Foreign Minister Gromyko and Politburo member, Defense Minister Ustinov hope that they can jointly support Gorba Geoff, in this case, Gorbachev's hope of becoming the general secretary will be very high.

Gorbachev was so confident that he was just waiting for his chance, waiting for the aging Chernenko to make room for himself.

The Soviet Union needs to be reformed, but the pace of reform by General Secretary Andropov is not big enough!And the old Chernenko has no courage. The Soviet Union needs a firm reformer like him!

……

"Are you sure that after Iraq captured the Tehran Air Force Base, it obtained several F-14 fighter jets that were donated as organs?" When seeing Sharapova's eyes rolling, she said these words , the head of the KGB's intelligence agency in Baghdad, on the surface, is a very ordinary staff member of the Soviet embassy in Iraq. He heard the KGB's most outstanding swallow, and successfully broke into Iraq's heavyweight, His Excellency Qusay When Sharapova beside her said these words, her heart was full of joy and surprise.

"Don't you still believe me?" Sharapova said: "Now, the French are already in contact with Iraq, hoping to smuggle back an F-14 fighter's radar and Phoenix missiles, although those Phoenix The missile has been disabled, which is of great help to France to modify their fighters, especially to develop a new radar for the Mirage 4000."

The French are also doing it?It seems that the Soviet Union should start as soon as possible. Stealing is definitely not an option. The only way to get it back from Iraq is through secret diplomatic channels.

Now, the relationship between the Soviet Union and Iraq is relatively harmonious. Although a large-scale armed conflict almost occurred last time, the Soviet Union did not invade northern Iran in the end. The weapons exported by the Soviet Union, Iraq needs the help of the Soviet Union.

So, it shouldn't be difficult for Iraq to sell or donate to the Soviet Union the useless parts of the captured F-14 fighters that they can't use and can only be sold as scrap iron?

"The information you provided this time is very important. The great Soviet Union needs such an outstanding swallow like you." The head of the KGB's intelligence agency in Baghdad said, watching Sharapova's back as she went out.

You, the person in charge of the intelligence agency, are incompetent. You have been stared at by the Iraqi intelligence agency for so long, and you don’t even know it. Sharapova walked and heard the words behind her, and she couldn’t help despising the other party in her heart. , I have become a double agent, and I am already working for Iraq. These KGB guys didn't find out at all.

Tehran Air Force Base, while undertaking the duty of combat readiness, was still cleaning up the hangar caused by the last bombing that was blown up in a large area. Finally, at the end of the cleaning, a few Iranian Tomcat fighters were found inside, but, All of them were used as organ donations, and were dismantled by Iranian ground crews. This made Iraqi personnel very admire the working ability of Iranian ground crews. They actually relied on this method to interrupt the supply of parts for several years. , still maintaining a small number of normal operations of this powerful fighter.

When the news was reported to Qusay, he keenly felt that he could use the spare parts of these incomplete F-14 fighter jets to get some benefits back.

These fighter planes, which entered the service of the Iranian Air Force in 1977, are not out of date at all, and the airborne AWG-9 radar and phoenix missiles are quite advanced weapon systems, and their advanced level may not even compare with that of the Soviet Union. In fact, the MiG-25 of the Soviet Union at the same time, although the radar power is powerful enough, it can't see clearly, and it can't be used to guide missiles with a range of more than [-] kilometers.

Therefore, based on the principle of waste utilization, Qusay began to use his brains to exchange these things with the Soviets!Since what happened last time, Qusay is most tempted by the helmet sights of the MiG-29 and the R-73 large off-axis short-range combat missiles. If you can exchange these two things with the junk of the F-14 Come on, if it is installed on the Phantom 4000, it will definitely make people tremble. The Phantom 4000 will surpass the F-15 in an all-round way, and it will not lose the wind in medium-range air combat and close-range combat!

Of course, Qusay will never take the initiative to go to the Soviets. In this case, Qusay’s negotiations will not go on at all. After all, helmet sights and R-73 missiles are things that the Soviet Union has only recently equipped. According to the behavior of the Soviets It is impossible to export in such a short period of time.

The Soviets have to take the initiative to find him, and then they will be able to ask for a lot of money. For a moment, Qusay naturally thought of asking his life secretary to deliver a message to the Soviet side. It has been a few months, and the KGB is probably urging her again. Want information?So, Qusay sent Adelina to pass the news to the Soviet Union, and then, it depends on how the Soviets react.

After receiving the news from Baghdad, the KGB attached great importance to it. In the last confrontation between the MiG-29 fighters and the Iraqi fighters, it was revealed that although the MiG-29 radar was already the most advanced pulse Doppler radar of the Soviet Union, However, compared with the radars of Western countries, it is still lagging behind, and the radar of the F-14 fighter jet of the Iranian Air Force, through comprehensive understanding, they already know that although this radar has been in service for five years, it is still ahead of the products of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union wants to take its own airborne radar technology a step further, and it is very important to use the AGW-9 radar for research. Moreover, the Soviet MiG-31 long-range interceptor has already entered service, but the corresponding The research and development of ultra-long-range air-to-air missiles is still lagging behind. If Phoenix missiles are brought in and some research is done, it can serve as a good reference for the Soviet Union's research in these fields.

Therefore, after learning that Iraq had obtained these good things, the Soviet ambassador to Iraq, Barkovsky, accepted the order and negotiated with His Excellency Qusay, hoping to send one back for research.

After the order from above came down, Barkovsky didn't have much confidence. Although the big event was done last time and gave the Soviet Union a huge amount of military exports, Barkovsky also learned that Qusay in Iraq Your Excellency, it is definitely not so easy to be fooled. Every time he deals with His Excellency Qu Sai, he feels that it is more difficult than going to the battlefield.

This time, he also made good mental preparations before coming to see Your Excellency Qusay.

"Your Excellency Qusay, thank you for your air force being able to exercise restraint and not cause misunderstandings in the airspace in northern Iran last time." Barkovsky said, and he felt that starting with this would go a little smoother.

"Yes, your air force equipment is a bit outdated, otherwise, how could you have traveled more than 200 kilometers in Iran without noticing it?" Qusay said.

That is the most advanced fighter on our side, how could it be lost, and the equipment is backward!Barkovsky didn't care about Qusay's words, and continued: "We said last time that the Soviet Union and Iraq are two countries with a great friendship, and we both cherish this friendship very much. A misunderstanding is nothing."

"Yes, we in Iraq also attach great importance to our friendship with the Soviet Union, especially the OTP-23 missiles that your country generously exported to us, which reflects our friendship." Qusay said.

Both sides have something to say, but what Barkovsky wants to say next, Qusay knows, but what Qusay wants to say, Barkovsky doesn't know.

Barkovsky was very happy to hear what Qusay said. Since it was said that the Soviet Union generously exported them to them, then, as a symbol of friendship, they should simply give the F-14 to the Soviet Union.

What Qusay said was that since a precedent has been set, Iraq can be provided with advanced surface-to-surface missiles, so why not advanced helmet sights and R-73 missiles?

Chapter 582 Kusai requires helmet sights and R-73 missiles

"Your Excellency Qusay, after your country's armed forces successfully liberated Tehran, they should have intercepted a lot of things left by the Iranian Air Force at Tehran's air force base?" Barkovsky asked.

"It was the Iranian National Liberation Force who liberated Tehran. We only played an auxiliary role. However, at the invitation of the Tehran zhèngfǔ, we did station a small air force at the Tehran Air Force Base to help the Tehran zhèngfǔ guard Iran's sky , after the air force of the Iranian National Liberation Army is established, we will hand over control to them," Qusay said.

After the Tehran zhèngfǔ was established, Qusay has always played Iraq as such a role. They are here to help the Iranian people, and they are good friends of the Iranian people.

"So, at the Tehran Air Force Base, are there any F-14 fighter jets left over from the Iranian Air Force of the old regime?" Barkovsky asked.Did the swallow tell it?This is not nonsense.

"This, I don't know, but it is impossible for the Iranian Air Force to have F-14 fighters anymore, because in the previous battle, the F-14 fighters were shot down in the air battle with our fighters, and then they were not found. Pass the opponent and then take off the F-14 fighter jet." Qusay said.

Iran has equipped a total of nearly [-] Tomcat fighters. How could they all be shot down by you? You are lucky to be able to shoot down a few of them. Although Barkovsky has such an evaluation of the combat effectiveness of the Iraqi Air Force in his heart, but, In the mouth, you can't say that.

"The fighter jets that the Iranian Air Force can take off have all been shot down by you. However, within a few years, the Iranian Air Force has disassembled many F-14 fighter jets that were in poor condition because they could not obtain the source of spare parts. The parts were supplied to other fighter jets, so, in the Tehran Air Force Base, the main base of the F-14 fighter jets, there must be non-flying Tomcat fighter jets donated as organs, and they must still exist at that base.” Balko Fowski said.

"I can investigate this." Qusay said, "However, why are you asking these questions? Does the great Soviet Union still take a fancy to these outdated products of American imperialism?"

"Of course not." Barkovsky felt that Qusay said this, as if he was laughing at himself.

"However, those fighter planes that are no longer available to the Iranians are of little value to you. However, this kind of plane is exactly the same as the F-14 equipped by the US Navy, except that the internal identification equipment on board is different. That's all, so we want to study what kind of performance this fighter has, so that we can deal with it more confidently when we encounter this fighter from the US Navy," Barkovsky said.
