Babylonian Empire

The production line is the production line, but will the Soviets agree?

Zhang Feng knew that he just seized the opportunity this time, and all he had to do was to confess to his father again. That's how you promised me back then, why didn't you let me finish my sentence!

The Soviets were also very surprised, because the other party's request was a bit too big!

As he was in charge of agriculture, Gorbachev didn't know much about these things. He glanced at Lekovich, who understood and said, "We have already offered T- 72 tanks, our country has never exported an example of a tank production line, so I am very sorry."

Have you ever exported a tank production line?What a good reason!

Zhang Feng said: "Really? How did I hear that your country is negotiating with India on the issue of exporting production lines?"

The purpose of the Soviet Union was to fight against that big eastern country, and it took great care of India in the South Asian subcontinent. Not only did the opponent give priority to equipping T-72 tanks, but it also exported a tank production line to the opponent.

Although the contract has not been negotiated yet, Zhang Feng from later generations is naturally very clear about these matters.

When this was said, the Soviets were shocked.

"No, absolutely impossible." Lekovich said: "It's just an overhaul line exported to India, not a production line."

Hearing Lekovich's words, Saddam was upset.Saddam attached great importance to the relationship with the Soviet Union, but if the other party fooled himself, Saddam was also very dissatisfied. He always thought that his relationship with the Soviet Union was very strong, but he did not expect that even India had Things that the Soviet Union is unwilling to provide to itself?

It seems that this production line really has to come over with the other party!

Saddam didn't understand the overhaul of the line or the production line. He only knew that the Soviets set two standards for Iraq and India in arms sales.

After Gorbachev heard about it, he also felt that this incident was a bit unreasonable. In his eyes, Iraq was more important than India.

In the strategy of the Soviet Union, it relied on India to check and balance a certain country in the east, because in the process of the Soviet Union’s external expansion, this eastern country did not buy it. However, Gorbachev did not agree with Khrushchev, Brerì Nev, etc. These people’s practices, they do well, but the economy of the Soviet Union has been dragged down by this kind of arms race, and the economy of the Soviet Union also has its own problems, and the economy of this country in the East has undergone reforms and is now glowing. With new vitality, he knows that if the Soviet Union wants to develop, it must reform, and it is very important to learn from that country in the East.

As for Iraq, it is related to the Soviet Union's Middle East strategy. If Iraq falls to the United States, it will be a disaster for the Soviet Union. If his trip this time is not a complete success, he will not add new things to his political resume A lot of money.

"Since your country can sell to India to overhaul the line, why can't you sell our production line? Are we not even as good as India? We have always attached importance to the relationship with your country, and hope that your country will not have two sets of standards." Zhang Feng continued To add fuel to the flames, he is a young man anyway, to put it harshly, he is called Lengtouqing, or to put it nicely, he can't speak, and he also pretends to be stupid, just say it like this, don't put any pressure on the other party, the matter It's not easy.

"Furthermore, your country has already begun to equip advanced T-80 tanks, which can surpass the T-72 by a large margin. This kind of T-72, originally in your country's plan, has already been prepared to export in large quantities. The quantity that our country needs More, the introduction of production lines can facilitate better and faster equipment, and our war requires us to have advanced tanks." Zhang Feng continued.

A series of words, there is a certain pressure, but also a certain flattery, so that the people in the Soviet Union were speechless and could only nod.

Gorbachev signaled to Lekovich again that he really didn't understand this aspect, otherwise, he would have agreed.

"The production line can be discussed, but tank guns and main armor have to be exported directly from our country." Lekovich said.

Tank guns and main armor are the main technology of a tank. The high chamber pressure required by tank guns determines the complexity of the production process of tank guns, and the main armor is the core secret of tanks. Tank armor developed by various countries is now a composite Armors are kept secret from each other.

However, the T-72's armor is not advanced. Although it is also a sandwich biscuit (a layer of non-metallic material is added between two layers of steel plates), the middle is not ceramic material, some say it is carbon fiber. Some say it's sand.

As for tank guns, it must be impossible to even think about it. This must be imported. After [-] years, a large number of technical experts can be hired to come over, and even talents and equipment are needed. Now, we can only use the other party first. that's it.

Now, it is to put up the shelf and gradually improve it later.

"Thank you very much for your country's help." Zhang Feng said: "Your country's tanks are very suitable for our country's environment, even more suitable than tanks from Western countries."

Chapter 325 Great Wisdom Is Foolish

After hearing His Excellency Qusay's praise of Soviet weapons, and the decision to introduce the production line without selling artillery and armor technology, Gorbachev smiled on his face.

Zhang Feng's words are naturally compliments. The Soviet T-72 is most criticized for its backward fire control system. Therefore, when he can introduce a production line, he must replace it with a full set of fire control system. The fire control system introduced by the German Krauss-Maffei company was installed on the 69 tank and achieved good results. Based on the previous relationship, it is completely possible to re-introduce and modify the T-72.

Although it was a little unpleasant just now, the preliminary finalization of this matter made the atmosphere of both parties warm up again.

Gorbachev reiterated his full support for Iraq's just war against Iran, and support for the Arab countries' struggle against Israel.

Saddam also expressed his gratitude to the Soviet Union, especially for taking care of Iraq in this arms sale.

There shouldn't be any other questions, but at the end of the meeting, Zhang Feng still couldn't help asking: "Mr. Gorbachev, what do you think about the reform of the General Secretary of your country?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was stopped by Saddam's stern gaze. This question was raised too sharply. This is the Soviets' own business. What are they doing?

It was even more so on the Soviet side, and several personnel showed displeasure.

Gorbachev was fine. Instead, he felt happy. The future leader of Iraq has poor political ability. It seems that it will not be difficult to control this guy in the future.

"All of us Bolsheviks support the correct line of General Secretary Andropov. Under his leadership, the Soviet Union will definitely become more prosperous." Gorbachev said.

Nonsense, what else can I say other than that!In fact, Gorbachev himself did not agree with Andropov's reforms very much, and his steps were too small!In his eyes, the Soviet system is already in great danger, and it is necessary to make big strides and make drastic reforms!

Gorbachev had already seen the shortcomings of the Soviet Union very thoroughly, and he also knew that he had to support the current general secretary and firmly maintain his line before he could have a chance to take office.

This Qusay boy, is he just asking casually, or does it have a deeper meaning?At this time, Gorbachev didn't have any other ideas. It wasn't until later that he realized that his resume, which was over half a century old, still didn't see through that young man.

After the meeting, the two sides held a press conference. In the cameras of Western reporters, a large photo of Saddam and Gorbachev shaking hands became the headline content of their newspapers.

But the smiling young man next to Saddam was rarely noticed.

"Bah, ah." Uday tore up the newspaper vigorously and threw it aside.

No!Absolutely can't go on like this!Uday stomped the head of the person in the newspaper on the ground to pieces with his feet.

That profile picture is not only of Qusay, but also of Saddam Hussein.

Uday's secretary Yatham?Ali's face turned pale. Seeing all this, His Excellency Uday's temper became more and more violent.

In particular, Yatham was even more terrified when he saw Uday trampling the head of the great leader President Saddam on the ground.

Nowadays, in China, whoever dares to make such a move will probably be arrested by the police long ago.

But now, His Excellency Uday is doing this, is it a normal reaction under rage, or does he have other ideas?

If it's just rage, it's okay. If you have other ideas, then Arthur can't imagine the consequences. President Saddam loves his son, and no matter how much he messes around, he won't do anything to him. At least he won't kill him!However, for these people around him, I'm afraid it's not so easy to say.

"Your Excellency Uday, the person you want is here." At this moment, Arthur saw the beautiful woman in the monitor and said.

Soon, the woman who was very beautiful but not at all enchanting walked in.

"Dear teacher, the bath water has been put away." Asham said, he backed out.

Arthurm only thought that this was a woman that Uday had found to vent his beastly desires, especially since His Excellency Uday was in a bad mood today. Made another look.

For some reason, God bless, Arthur had thought that way, whether it was about this woman, or because of the terrible possibility he had just thought of.

He didn't see that after he went out, His Excellency Uday's angry expression just now suddenly became very happy.

"You are here." Uday said, "I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"It's not easy for me to come out. You know, I'm always under surveillance," the woman said.

"Then let's make a long story short, 1000 million, buy that person's life." Uday said.

"I'm sorry, but if it takes that person's life, I'm afraid I'll die as well."
