A country that is only a military power cannot become a real power. Only when it is economically strong can it develop a strong military power. Qusay is very clear about this.

Here, the best examples are the United States and the Soviet Union.

In order to compete with the United States for hegemony, the Soviet Union has been sparing no effort to develop its own military industry, resulting in a deformed industrial form.In times of war, all forces can be devoted to developing the military, but in times of peace, this is absolutely impossible.The collapse of the Soviet Union was due to this reason.

The United States is really powerful. During World War II, the United States was not affected, and there were a large number of people who fled from Europe, including famous scientists like Einstein.Therefore, American industry and technology have developed greatly, and the American economy has developed quite fast.The military of the United States is based on its strong economic capabilities, but now in order to compete with the Soviet Union for hegemony, the United States spends too much on the military, resulting in a huge deficit.

Qusay is very clear in his heart, so when he is developing Iraq's military strength, he is also constantly paying attention to the development of Iraq's own domestic economy.

The time left for Iraq is very short. If Iraq cannot be built into an independent industrialized country and independent military industry before the disintegration of the Soviet Union, then Iraq, which has rich oil resources under the ground, will once again become the United States. Qu Sai is very clear about the reason why everyone is innocent and pregnant is guilty.

Therefore, Qusay is currently investing heavily in Iraq's military industry. The cost of developing a comprehensive military industry is very high. Now the main imports are all ready-made technologies. What Iraq has obtained is the world's advanced technology and processing. capacity, however, Iraq lacks the capacity for self-research.The cooperation with the eastern powers is to cultivate a scientific research team in Iraq that can go through the whole process of development.

The development of Iraq's military industry accounts for a large part of Iraq's current capital investment. This is also a last resort. However, Qusay is not completely militaristic in the development of military industry, because the weapons produced by these military industries can be used against the surrounding Arab countries. Countries and African countries that earn foreign exchange through exports.

At the same time, Qusay never gave up his efforts to improve people's livelihood.The country has invested a lot of money to support a large number of private enterprises, which has given Iraq a new trend. Through the first five-year plan, it has begun to emerge in the fields of machinery, chemicals, and electronics.In fact, thanks to the rich oil resources, in the later Saddam era, the living standards of the Iraqi people were relatively high before the Gulf War.

It’s just that in Saddam’s era, all civilian products were imported, while Qusay was trying to achieve domestic independent production, especially after developing a good relationship with Iran, the mining areas in Bakhtaran and other places, the Northwest The granary of the Ministry has made outstanding contributions to Iraq.

Now Iraq no longer has to worry about the food problem. Various civilian projects have been established, which has also led to the development of employment and other aspects. At the same time, Iraq has begun to popularize higher education. A large number of students, with state funding, study abroad.

It is precisely because of the huge sacrifices in people's livelihood in exchange for returns, which is also the reason why the original residents in the occupied areas of eastern Iraq have supported Qusay. They have got rid of the rule of the old zhèngfǔ. With a stable living environment and a job that is stable enough for the family to live a happy life, people in these areas have long since stabilized.

These all depend on the black metal under Iraq's feet, but Iraq's future must not rely solely on these limited energy sources.

Because of the huge investments, Iraq's national treasury is sometimes not well run. However, with the help of this financial black hand, Iraq will once again obtain a huge amount of development funds.

Qusay took a road full of thorns.

This operation is to deal a heavy blow to the United States economically. What would a United States short of money be like?In particular, as long as the Soviet Union is still there, even if the United States covets Iraq's oil, it cannot take any extraordinary actions.

The U.S. dollar has depreciated sharply, and oil has a more important role in the U.S. dollar. At this time, a stable oil price is very important to the United States, and the United States will become more dependent on Iraq. Things have to be exported to Iraq.

In addition to attacking the United States, on the other hand, it is attacking island countries.

Due to the relationship of later generations, Qu Sai did not have a good impression of the island country.Of course, the current Qusay no longer influences his judgment because of his likes and dislikes. What he values ​​is also his interests.

The economy of the island country is very developed, and it will be a very powerful competitor of the rising Iraq in the future. It is a very pleasing thing for Qusay to let this competitor go to hell now, at least let this competitor bleed, and In this process, Iraq can obtain many important things. For example, Sarah's company will take advantage of the major economic problems of the island country to acquire the technologies they are interested in, and expand the product competitiveness and diversification.

The large sum of money obtained from this crisis will be the economic source of Iraq's development in the next few years. Although Qusay's current funds are only enough for the Soviet Union to order aircraft carriers and other projects, Qusay dares to The reason for the large-scale military purchases.

Through this operation, fight against the United States, fight against island countries, and develop yourself!This is Qusay's ultimate goal.

Two days later, when the foreign exchange market began to reopen, the financial war finally began.

At this time, Zhang Manyu had already left behind her immaturity. On her face full of youthful vigor, she had a pair of sharp golden eyes. She had grown into a person who called the wind and rain in the financial market.

Wearing a well-fitting professional attire, setting off her beautiful appearance, Zhang Manyu issued an order: "The action begins!"

After preparing for such a long time, it is for today!Thinking of the thrilling scene she had experienced a few years ago, and finally returning with a rewarding experience, she was full of confidence and strength.

Radwei also stood quietly aside, he no longer needed to direct anything, he came here mainly to supervise the specific operation process.Of course, what Qusay said was to help them carry out this operation together.The funds for this operation were extremely huge, scattered over tens of thousands of accounts. Although they were all the most skilled traders, there were times when their energy was insufficient.

Moreover, they also need to be very cautious to prevent their actions from being discovered by financial experts.

In the market, international financial speculators with the same keen sense of smell have also come to the island country. They are now watching and looking for the most suitable time.

The depreciation of the dollar is not so easy!

"It was found that one billion dollars was thrown out and replaced with rì yuan."

They invested a billion dollars for the first time. It seems that they are still very careful, for fear of causing an explosive reaction.

"Throw out the rì yuan we hold and exchange the billion dollars." Zhang Manyu ordered.

In the eyes of Zhang Manyu, a mere one billion dollars has not been taken seriously, and the United States is just trying to test it.

"The area we are now in is the most prosperous Ginza in Tokyo." In a luxurious car, a woman explained to the man beside her.

Prince Waleed has been to many countries, the United States and Europe, but this is his first visit to the island nation.

Before coming here, he had heard of the big names here, the three major scenic spots that symbolize the nature, history and modernity of the island country, namely Mount Fuji, Kyoto and Ginza, which are full of modern atmosphere, similar to the Champs Elysées in Paris and the First Avenue in New York. The Five Main Streets are equally famous and one of the three bustling centers in the world.

Looking at the scene outside the window, Prince Walid was thinking, if you want to invest, you should invest in the one with the greatest value-added potential. This is a good choice.

"On weekends, cars will be banned here, and it is a paradise for pedestrians to walk. The land price of each foot here is equivalent to a month's salary of a senior cabinet official." The travel company invited to introduce Haruko explained it very carefully, and she was also curious, what kind of person is her employer, who seems to be here to invest?

Chapter 9 Resource Surveying Satellites

"Is your rocket fairing made of bamboo?" Huang Zuoyi seemed to be still echoing these words in his mind. When the government announced that the Long March series of rockets would accept foreign satellite launch users, he was the main person in charge. People, traveling around the world, looking for possible rocket customers and contracts in the international business launch service market.However, he did not expect that some foreign businessmen would actually raise such a question!

China is a developing country, but Chinese rockets are definitely world-class brands!When Huang Zuoyi heard these words, he felt a little angry, but also a little helpless. He spent several months and got nothing.

However, at this moment, a big cake fell from the sky, and some users have already come to the capital to discuss the matter of launching satellites.

Therefore, Huang Zuoyi hurriedly ended his trip in Europe and returned to his motherland.

Amir Mahmoud, leading a delegation of more than a dozen people, arrived in the great eastern country. Their task was to negotiate with the Great Wall Industrial Corporation of the eastern great country on the issue of launching satellites.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, but with this first launch of business, it will be much easier to expand the market in the future.

Satellite, for a country, is a project of great military and civilian value. When it was exaggerated back then, it could be described as increasing food production and putting a David satellite.

Iraq needs satellites, especially reconnaissance satellites, which is a key to improving the information acquisition capabilities of the Iraqi army.

Therefore, after the end of the Soviet Union's operations, Qusay has been planning a trip to the East. He originally planned to go to the East in person, but there are too many government affairs he needs to handle, and he can't do everything by himself. Go out, so, send Amir to come.

Amir is mainly in charge of foreign military purchases, no matter through formal channels or underground channels, so Amir's coming this time clearly has a military background.Following Amir, there are some Iraqi technicians sent by Dr. Saadi.

"Welcome very much, our friendliest friends in the Middle East." Huang Zuoyi said, entertaining the Arabs with thick beards cordially.

The visitor nodded: "Thank you for your kind hospitality. This time, we are here to discuss cooperation in aerospace."

Amir said it very cleverly. He didn't directly say that he wanted to rent the Long March rocket, but that he wanted to cooperate with each other.

Hearing this, a question flashed in Huang Zuoyi's mind, and he still followed the original plan and introduced to the visitors: "On April 1970, 4, we successfully launched Dongfanghong-24 into a man-made space with the Long March-7 carrier rocket developed by ourselves. Satellites are sent into space. After more than ten years of hard work, our Long March [-] and Long March [-] rockets can meet the requirements for launching spacecraft in different orbits, and their technical performance and quality reliability have reached the international advanced level. Just before In a few days, we successfully launched the seventh returnable remote sensing satellite with the Long March [-]C carrier rocket. It is our honor that you can use our carrier rocket to launch the satellite. We will definitely launch the satellite with reliability and high quality Into orbit. May I ask how much mass the satellite you need to carry and what kind of orbit it will be launched into?"

"In a sun-synchronous orbit of 200 kilometers, the mass of the satellite is about one ton." Amir said, this is their pre-estimated situation.

"Our Long March-[-] is fully capable of this kind of launch mission." Huang Zuoyi said: "When will your satellite arrive? We coordinate the launch window and the factory produces rockets. It will also take a certain amount of time. "

Now, the well-known Long March [-] bundled rocket has not yet been born, and there are no four additional boosters. In this kind of low-earth orbit, it only has a carrying capacity of about one ton, which is exactly in line with the carrying capacity of existing rockets. It's just that rockets are not cars. They can be sold at any time after production. Rockets are temporarily produced after receiving orders. Moreover, the production of rockets is definitely not mass-produced. There can be ten launch missions a year. It is already very high frequency.

"Our satellite has not been developed yet," Amir said. ?Hearing this, Huang Zuoyi was a little stunned. He felt that he didn't receive the order, so he came to comfort him?Without satellites, what are you talking about launching rockets?

"We need a resource survey satellite, but our current technical reserves are not enough, so we need your technical assistance to jointly develop and develop our satellite, and then use your rocket to launch it." Amir explained .

Hearing what he said, Huang Zuoyi realized that the other party's order not only included the rental of rockets, but also the development of satellites?
