294 Laying the groundwork for the Gulf War pit of US imperialism
"General, although this matter is wrong on our side, it also falls under the category of force majeure factors...... At this point, continuing to dwell on the established facts will not change...... I don't think you're here for this. Wang Guilin saw that the Iraqis were not as angry as they thought, and knew that they could not be too entangled.
"Didn't you ask about the plan for army building before? Xie Kai also hurried to help.
This kind of thing, if it can be troublesome, it will not be troublesome.
None of us have time to dwell on this.
"This can't just end here...... Ibrahim still doesn't let go.
It's obviously the fault of the 404 people, and it can't be left as it is.
Wang Guilin looked at Ibrahim without retreating, turned his head and looked at Xie Kai helplessly, Xie Kai had no choice.
All that can be said is said that the Iraqis are determined to trouble them on this, and no one can do anything about it.
As for whether the Iraqis forced them to give up some benefits through follow-up orders, Xie Kai is also uncertain.
Don't let the chickens fly and the eggs will fight, give up the benefits, and offend the Iranians to give priority to Iraq, and in the end there will not even be orders from the Iraqis.
"We can talk about something else first, and we'll talk about that later. What you need, it's already on the high seas outside China's waters...... As long as an agreement is reached, those things are yours. Isad frowned.
He didn't understand why Ibrahim kept biting on it.
Wang Guilin was relieved to see that someone on the other party finally relented, and it happened that the off-duty number sounded outside, and when he saw that the time was about the same, he was still talking about a fart at this time, and he would eat first.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to eat, let's eat first, and then continue talking. Wang Guilin knows that if he continues to talk like this now, he will not be able to talk about a result.
The atmosphere was a little stiff just now, but after a meal, the atmosphere changed.
Just introducing the plan, naturally, is not a problem, and the plan does not introduce much, the important thing is about the procurement negotiation of equipment.
From the beginning, there was a contradiction in the hearts of both parties, and it was strange that the negotiation on the price did not quarrel.
The Iraqis also agreed to their arrangement.
Lunch was solved in the canteen of the headquarters, and the people of the 404 base really showed sincerity this time, and the whole sheep was roasted.
Eating made Xie Kai's heart flutter.
The Iraqis are naturally satisfied with the food provided at the base, and the food alone cannot make up for the loss they have suffered in the delivery of missiles.
"Why do you want to dwell on this all the time, no matter what, nothing will change, right?" Isaad asked Ibrahim secretly on the way to dinner.
Ibrahim looked around and saw that no one heard him, so he whispered, "The Chinese of this unit is completely different from that in other places, shameless, slamming the door, and greedy to the extreme...... If we don't catch their mistakes at the beginning, we will have less leverage in the negotiations later......"
"Just a little bit, how much leverage can you make?" Issad didn't understand.
"Formally talk about specific cooperation, and you will know. We need equipment, if we are not in a hurry, the Chinese will not be in a hurry. Ibrahim looked at Issad with a helpless expression.
At lunchtime, neither side was entangled in anything about avant-garde anti-aircraft missiles, but only talked about unrelated matters.
After a short break after lunch, the two sides went directly to the conference room of the headquarters.
Xie Kai briefed the Iraqis on the plan.
The entire construction plan, the Issad people had already understood very well before, after all, on the way here, Long Yaohua personally introduced it to them.
Hearing Xie Kai's introduction, although it was more detailed, there was no difference.
The only difference is that in Xie Kai's introduction, the troop configuration is more abundant.
"In a small establishment, equipped with such a variety of weapons, how can the logistics supply be guaranteed?" After listening to Xie Kai's introduction, Issad raised the first question.
According to Xie Kai, there are several arms in a brigade, air support, rear support, missiles, artillery, tanks, armored vehicles...... Even the armament of combat units differs from almost every battalion.
The Iraqis are logistically confused, and the war with the Iranians has made them aware of the problem.
According to the Chinese's approach, how huge is the logistics supply support system for equipping a division?
"General, if it is to carry out a foreign war, this kind of logistics is really very difficult...... Our country's national defense is to implement a defensive strategy and fight on the mainland when there is an invasion by foreign enemies, so our domestic logistics support system can be fully incorporated into it......," Xie Kai said calmly.
Iraqis are not small.
Even if their logistics system is perfect, it is impossible to reach the level of logistics perfection that China has, not that Iraq cannot transfer materials, but that they cannot produce most of the ammunition themselves, and everything has to be purchased.
Originally, Iraq only used Soviet weapons and equipment, and the logistics were relatively easy.
Now, it is beginning to introduce NATO-standard weapons and equipment on a large scale.
"Whether it is self-propelled artillery, tanks, etc., in the station, there is naturally no need to think about it, there are special ammunition vehicles for the transfer, and each unit is equipped with an exclusive logistics support system......" Xie Kai considered these issues when he put it forward.
In future wars, the dependence on logistics is too high.
Iraq is not big in the first place, and if it is only a domestic war, the requirements are naturally not as high as China's.
China travels thousands of kilometers from one side to the other, and logistical support is even more difficult.
"At the same time, there is absolutely no need for the Air Force and others to be deployed in this unit!" "Joint operations cannot be accomplished by a certain organization."
That is the integration of resources of the whole army.
"In this way, the logistics support system of a unit is too bloated. ”
"If all armies were built like this, there would not be much of a problem. Xie Kai remained calm, "The entire force fights as a complete system, and before entering the battlefield, reconnaissance is carried out from the ground, from the air, and even the air force conducts air strikes on the enemy's area......"
Whether or not the Iraqis can withstand the bombardment from the air by the US-led UN forces will have a great impact on the entire course of the Gulf War.
Xie Kai will certainly not let the Gulf War happen as it has done in history, and the Iraqis do not even have the strength to fight back.
Saddam Hussein should have been thinking about an invasion of Kuwait by now.
Dozens of days of aerial bombardment by UN forces made the ground war in the Gulf War last only 100 hours.
The Iraqis had barely organized an effective offensive and were beaten by the United Nations forces.
In fact, Xie Kai also knows that no matter how the Iraqis prepare, the outcome of the Gulf War is doomed, and Iraq has no chance of winning.
Isad fell silent.
He was weighing in his heart whether building the Tikrit Division according to Xie Kai's construction plan would eventually change the status quo.
"We don't need a brigade as a combat unit, at least a division, according to this ......model," Issad thought about for a while before asking.
"According to the establishment of divisions, there are two plans, one is to base on the mixed brigades that were proposed at the beginning, and the other is to upgrade the original battalions into regiments according to the regimental establishment. As a result, the requirements for the division command are even higher. It also makes the command system of the subordinate brigades a little thin......" Xie Kai looked at Issad and said.
The Tikrit Division, Saddam's most elite unit, was also the most loyal.
All the people in this unit are from Saddam's hometown.
"If it is a division, it is easier to do it, especially in the context of remote support in the rear. Once the entire force is deployed, it is equipped with a ground-to-ground tactical missile battalion with a range of 200 kilometers, and the entire 200-kilometer radius can be effectively supported, and as long as there are no problems in the construction of the air defense system, I think you should know very well the combat capability of this unit. ”
"A tactical ground-to-ground missile with a range of two hundred kilometers?" the eyes of the Iraqis lit up.
They have Scuds with a range of 300 kilometers in their hands, and in order to get a higher range, there are not many such missiles.
"Yes, we just developed one of these missiles...... Although the range of strike accuracy is not too high, the circumferential error is about 100~150 meters, which is used for tactical support and equipped with high-power warheads, which is not a problem at all. Xie Kai began to sell tactical missiles modified from Hongqi-2 anti-aircraft missiles to the Iraqis.
Now Zheng Yucheng is negotiating cooperation with astronauts, and as long as an agreement is reached, samples can be produced within half a year.
Tactical missiles take much less time than tanks, etc.
"Can you provide it?" said Ibrahim's eyes with surprise.
What is most lacking in Iraq?
It's a missile with a long enough range.
"Not a problem at all. As long as we have money, we can sell as much as we need. This kind of missile is a tactical missile modified from our Hongqi-2 anti-aircraft missile, and your country has a large number of SA-2s, and it is completely possible to use our technology to transform it on its own...... "Xie Kai did not hide it.
The Iraqis were not satisfied with the SAM series of anti-aircraft missiles that they had placed in fixed positions.
Let them withdraw this kind of missile from their positions as soon as possible and develop more advanced air defense missiles, and then the Gulf War will not be so easy to fight.
"SA-2: That's an anti-aircraft missile! We need to use it for air defense. Ibrahim smiled helplessly and shook his head, "How much can your country provide for this kind of missile, and how much can it cost?"
"The price of each piece will not exceed $650,000. "Xie Kai is not prepared to pit the Iraqis in this matter.
At that time, it was sold for $600,000 a piece in China, and he was able to sell it at this price.
Iraqis' eyes lit up.
On this trip to China, they really didn't expect to have unexpected surprises.
The firing range is only 200 km?
Change it, three bullets and two bullets, the range can also be doubled.
