"So that's how it is." Qusay said with a sad face on his face: "I really want to help the Soviet Union, but those fighter planes are already the property of the Tehran government, you should go to the Tehran government, we are only temporarily That base is there to help Iran guard their skies."

Hearing this statement, Barkovsky had the urge to get up and leave in a rage. The other party's statement is pure nonsense. The current Tehran government in Iran is purely listening to the Iraqi government. In other words, as long as Qusay Your Excellency nods, the Tehran government won't even let out a fart.

He suppressed his impulse, and after a second thought, this Qu Sai must have just wanted to make some demands, so he made things difficult for himself, so listen first and see what he has to say.

"Your Excellency Qusay, the Soviet Union and Iraq have always had a very good friendship. This time, I hope you can come forward and help us persuade Tehran zhèngfǔ to let them transfer an F-14 fighter jet to us. We will be very grateful to you zhèngfǔ, at the same time, we will give priority to the arms sales items of your zhèngfǔ and the Soviet Union to you, you must know that our own army also needs equipment, and the production capacity is insufficient now!"

Hearing Barkovsky's words, Qusay showed contempt in his heart. This guy actually wants to use this method to blackmail himself?

"Yes, we attach great importance to the arms sales project with your country, which accounts for a large part of our defense expenditure. Now, our economic construction is underway, and funds are also very tight. If your production capacity is insufficient, Then, you can equip your troops first, and ours can be delayed a little bit, so that our funds can be invested in economic construction first." Qusay said.

You said that the production capacity is insufficient, so I am not in a hurry. Although Iraq is actually in a hurry, Qusay knows that the Soviet Union is more worried because the Soviet Union has no money.

After listening to Qusay's words, Balkovsky felt a chill in his heart. If he messed up this contract again, that guy Gorbachev would scold him. You know, this project is his It was highly recommended and implemented. Now that Iraq is under construction, Barkovsky also knows that if Iraq really does not invest in follow-up funds, he will be a sinner. He began to regret mentioning this aspect.

"However, don't worry, we will give Iraq priority. We attach great importance to our friendship with Iraq." If the Soviet Union has it, it will definitely be provided to you first.”

"After some misunderstandings happened between our pilots last time, our pilots are very interested in your new aircraft," Qusay said.

Hearing what Qusay said, Barkovsky seemed to know what the other party's bottom line was. The other party wanted to import this kind of aircraft?In the strategy of the Soviet Union, after the MiG-29 is equipped with troops, it is intended to be gradually extended to pro-Soviet countries, while the more powerful T-10, (Su-27 verification machine), is reserved for the military’s own use. not exported.If Iraq wants, the Soviet Union can export this fighter plane to Iraq after two or three years, and it can also earn a lot of foreign exchange. However, Iraq has already equipped F-20 and Mirage 4000, and both have production lines , if Iraq also wants a production line with itself, what should it do?You know, the Soviet Union will never agree to export.Besides, will Iraq equip these types of fighters with overlapping functions at the same time?Seems unlikely, right?

(In later generations, Iraq obtained a certain number of MiG-29s at the end of the Iran-Iraq War and participated in the later Gulf War.) "That is the greatest fighter plane of our Soviet Union, far surpassing the F-14 by several times, don't you Do you want Iraqi troops to equip our fighter jets? I will report to the higher authorities, and if they agree, Iraq must be the first country other than the Soviet army to equip this fighter jet." Barkovsky said.

"No, we don't want to equip this fighter." Qu Sai said: "Besides, we know that you will definitely not provide us with a production line, and you are not even willing to provide us with the production line of Mi-24 helicopters. We only Interested in one of the subsystems above."

What Qusay said disappointed Barkovsky, who was not interested in the most powerful fighter of the Soviet Red Army!However, interested in some of these subsystems?

"Excuse me, what are you interested in?" Barkovsky asked cautiously. You must know that this fighter plane has just been equipped with troops, and it hasn't been very long. Only the most elite air force will be equipped first, and, For the West, it is still a very secret fighter. His Excellency Qusay can know that it is entirely because of the confrontation in northern Iran. However, when it comes to the subsystems on this fighter, it will definitely not be just in the fierce battle Those seen by the opponent in the air battle.

"Your MiG-29 fighter is newly equipped with the helmet sight and large off-axis combat missile R-73 developed by you. We want to introduce these two systems and equip them on our Mirage 4000 fighter. Fang's engineers can help us solve this problem," Qusay said.

I want to tell the other party that the introduction of the production line of these things will definitely not be accepted by the other party. The things that Soviet engineers are most proud of cannot be exported to the production line so easily. Even if they export these things, the other party will not be willing.

As long as Iraq has obtained these things, they will be integrated into the Phantom 4000 with the help of Soviet engineers, and then reverse imitation. Ability, their first project, let's start with these two weapons!If you really can't figure it out, you can find some people from the big eastern countries to imitate, and at worst, share the technology with them in the end.

Balkovsky was extremely shocked. How could the opponent know that his fighter was equipped with a helmet sight?You also know the large off-axis combat missile, and can you tell me the specific model?Even Barkovsky himself didn't know that it was a secret project of the military!

Your Excellency Qusay is simply a god!

Although Barkovsky himself didn't know it clearly, but subconsciously, he knew that what Qusay said must be accurate. Would the Soviet Union export these things to him?

"Your Excellency, Qusay, I am very surprised by your wisdom. Your information is so well-informed that it can't even be compared with the KGB and the CIA." Barkovsky said: "I don't know whether the things you said exist or not. However, I will convey your meaning upwards."

Barkovsky's statement was very clear, and Qusay knew that it was time for him to add fire to him.

The Visit of Qusay in Chapter 583 of the Babylonian Empire

"Mr. Ambassador, we know that you are working on the improvement and upgrading project of MiG-25, that is, MiG-31. In order to overcome the shortcomings of MiG-25, this long-range interceptor is planning to use phased array radar, but , the cost of the phased array radar is too high, and the combination of the awg-14 radar of the f-9 fighter plane and the phoenix missile, if you can understand these technologies thoroughly, it will make an interceptor like the MiG-31 very useful performance improvement ().*" Qusay said: "If you are willing to export helmet sights and r-73 missiles, we are willing to persuade the Tehran government to select from the reserve F-14 fighters used as organ donations. The best one will be given to you. Moreover, this transaction will deepen the cooperation between us. We in Iraq will continue to invest and purchase other weapons from your country. For example, we are preparing to continue to purchase 2 BMP-76 infantry fighting vehicles and fifty БМД paratrooper fighting vehicles to equip our army, we also hope to continue to purchase [-] Il-[-] transport aircraft, and we may hold a joint military exercise with your country..."

These things are what Iraq needs. Iraq does not yet have a tracked infantry fighting vehicle production base. In particular, Iraq has airborne troops, but there are no corresponding paratrooper fighting vehicles. Iraq needs to import a batch of these infantry fighting vehicles , and the future trend, the off-road performance of 8*8 wheeled infantry fighting vehicles is completely comparable to that of tracked vehicles, so Qusay has no idea of ​​importing this kind of tracked infantry fighting vehicle production line so far ().

While talking, Qusay looked at the Soviet ambassador's expression, and he found that the other's eyes gradually brightened as he felt his words.

It seems.The other party was tempted, and Qu Sai knew it.If I want the Soviets to agree to export these things to Iraq, then Iraq has to come up with enough things to make them excited. I am afraid that what the Soviet Union lacks most now is money. If I make these requests, they will definitely I can't bear to refuse.

Moreover, Qusay knew that the last incident was just a coincidence, now.He needs a good relationship with the Soviet Union. * Lay a good foundation, and after a few years, you can get good things from the Soviet Union in large quantities.

"Your Excellency Qusay, I will convey all the ideas you have raised to the high-level. I hope that we can continue to deepen our cooperation and prevent those accidental incidents from happening again." Barkovsky said.

Qusay enthusiastically sent the Soviet ambassador away, and the next step is to see how the Soviets will accept the offer.He had a hunch that this time, the Soviets would still agree to his request, because the f-14's radar and phoenix missiles were very important to the Soviet Union.Really strong appeal.

…………

Under the general situation that the world is still stable, a news that shocked the whole world came from the ancient oriental country. The Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Factory has completed the development of the first domestically produced [-]-ton large aircraft project, and the Yunshi has been completed. All the flight test items were successfully finalized!

From then on.Flying in the sky, in addition to Boeing, in addition to Airbus, there will be a new type of aircraft: Yun-ten!

This large aircraft, which is very similar to the Boeing 707, also adopts the scheme of hoisting four engines under the wings. Although the Americans say it is plagiarism, the successful finalization of this [-]-ton aircraft is of great significance. of().

At this time, the third and fourth planes of Yunshi located in the Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Plant have already started the final assembly. Some of the components are processed and produced in Iraq. In terms of production equipment, Iraq is in line with the world's advanced level. It has world-class processing equipment, and the first batch of ten aircraft were all delivered to Iraqi civil aviation. Moreover, in the development of the aircraft, Iraq finally injected a large amount of funds to revive the project, and the country has passed According to the document, the Yun-[-] project will become an international cooperation project, and Iraq will share technology and funds from the Middle East, allowing Yun-[-] to start a brilliant life.

However, since the supporting turbofan-8 engine is still under development, the engine used by Yunshi is still the jt707d engine of Boeing 3, and the electronic equipment on the plane has received the help of Iraqi engineers. In terms of avionics technology, Iraq has already Went to the front of Shangfei. [Just find the material of the novel]

As the father of Yunshi, Ma Fengshan’s face is full of smiles. He watched his Yunshi with his own eyes, step by step to today, and finally, it will fly to the world. crystallization!

After receiving the news that Yun-[-] had been finalized, Qusai, who was in Baghdad, was also very happy. He immediately notified the main person in charge of Yun-[-], Mr. Ma Fengshan, and told him that this first production-type Yun-[-] would serve as his own aircraft. Please ask him to modify the special plane according to the requirements of the special plane.

Until now, as the actual leader of Iraq, Qusay has never owned his own special plane. When he went abroad, he even used a passenger plane supported by Saudi Arabia or Kuwait. Therefore, after learning that Yun-[-] had finally finalized Qusay is eager to use Yunshilai as his special plane. In addition to personal emotional factors, there are also Iraq's actual interests, because Iraqi technical personnel will fully understand this kind of passenger plane, and Iraq can be regarded as He has become a shareholder, and with his special plane as a specimen, he will definitely sell it to other Middle Eastern countries. In this way, Yunshi will bring him profits. Developing a [-]-ton large aircraft together is the way of future development ().

Knowing that His Majesty Qu Sai wants to use Yunshi as his special plane, Ma Fengshan is even more excited, because this is a passenger plane that has just been put into use, and there must still be many people doubting its safety performance. Now, this plane is used as a The private plane of an important person in Iraq was a good start. At the same time, he also admired the courage and insight of that person in the Middle East.

That person is really far-sighted!Therefore, when he learned that this god-like figure in the hearts of Middle Easterners was coming to China for a three-day visit, Ma Fengshan hoped to see him again. The itinerary will go to Shanghai.

Yes, Qusay is going to visit China.

In fact, Qusay has been planning a trip to China. In his future strategic vision, this country in the east will be an important partner of his. Putting aside the emotional factors of the previous life, this country in Iraq Over the years, Qusay has learned that the national interest is what matters.

Qusay is familiar with history and knows that in a few years, the US-Soviet struggle for hegemony will be a thing of the past, the Soviet Union will disintegrate, and the United States will become a unipolar world.

However, if Iraq wants to develop and develop among the current two powers, the Soviet Union cannot be relied on. Otherwise, although the big tree can enjoy the shade, if the big tree falls, the macaques will disperse.Although relying on the United States, it is safe to sit back and relax, but in that case, Iraq will completely lose its independent status. Qusay is not willing to take such a road anyway.

Then, what remains is that Iraq itself has gradually developed and grown through unremitting efforts. This road is the road that Iraq must go through if it wants to become a big country. One of the most important points is to develop Iraq's own economy. Iraq cannot Just relying on exporting oil in exchange for profits, and not relying on foreign investment to make profits like Kuwait, Iraq needs to be built into an industrial powerhouse!

Qusay has always been firmly following such a path. He introduced various modern industries from the outside world, allowing Iraq to start with military products and gradually establish and improve a modern industrial system, although this will be a long road ().

And in the process of Iraq's own gradual development, Iraq will also have a good partner, the big country in the East!

At this time, this big country has emerged from ten years of turmoil and returned to the important road of putting economic development first. Qusay, who came from later generations, naturally knows that this country will grow into a giant that will impress the world. Economically, militarily, and technologically, there will be leapfrog development.

But now, because the country puts the main force on the development of the economy, the funds invested in the research and development of military products have become very small, and those important projects are developing slowly. Therefore, out of various needs, Qu Sai chose Investing in this country, getting involved in the research and development of these projects, sharing technology with them while supporting this country in carrying out these projects, and completing the development process will be of great help to the training of Iraqi design teams .

Therefore, Qusay attaches great importance to the relationship with this ancient civilization in the East. It is a pity that last year, because this country sold weapons to Iran, there was a short-term rift in the relationship between the two countries. After various measures, Iran's last source of weapons was finally cut off, which also laid the final foundation for a successful attack on Tehran.

Therefore, after the great eastern country expressed its invitation to Qusay, Qusay finally agreed to go out of the Middle East and visit this country again.

At the same time, Qusay's visit this time still has a strong purpose, because until now, Iraq has been able to produce advanced fighter planes, advanced tanks and other ground weapons, but there is still a gap in Iraq: the navy!

In the Iraqi navy, there are only a few speedboats for appearances, and at most they are submarines from Argentina. You must know that in the future, the sea will be the focus of competition.

Iraq has a long way to go if it wants to have a strong navy. Now, Qusay has firmly taken the first step, established the first naval academy in Iraq, and hired instructors with high salaries. However, they are all talking on paper now, because, The Iraqi Navy has neither training ships nor large warships, and, in Qusay's more far-sighted vision, Iraq cannot do without a shipbuilding industry.
