521 No one takes a strong country seriously
Saddam's grandson is now more and more prepared, and his army is moving more and more. Elite troops have begun to mobilize towards Iraq's southeastern border. What this means, the entire Iranian top is very clear.
The biggest problem now is that the production capacity here is too low, and it has not reached the amount that Liu Yijiu reported to them at the beginning.
How can Iranian officials not be in a hurry?
Deliveries to Pakistan will begin only after the Chinese side fulfills the Iranian order, although the tanks are now in Pakistan and in the name of the Pakistani military, in fact, the Iranian army is training.
Under such circumstances, the managers of the 541 base, which has low production capacity, naturally have a hard time.
"It's not okay to agree, you should go to Director Liu, that's it on my side!" Yan Pingyuan felt that he couldn't communicate with the two of them, and Liu Yijiu agreed, because Liu Yijiu didn't understand the situation. Although the production capacity of engines in the base is limited every month, many key core components such as electronic systems and fire control systems provided in the main base of the Ninth Academy also limit their production capacity.
Seeing that the two of them were dissatisfied, worried that they would really go to Liu Yijiu, as a subordinate, if they couldn't even deal with some simple little things, Yan Pingyuan knew that he would definitely not be able to continue to stay in his position. Therefore, he hurriedly said to the two: "Two, it's not that we don't want to, you can rest assured, from today onwards, all our relevant units will be working at full speed to complete the delivery of the order as soon as possible!" ”
Yan Pingyuan finally sent these two guys who seemed to be urging their lives, and hurriedly ran to find Lin Fulin.
Lin Fulin was transferred here from the base to be in charge of technology, and at the same time, he was also responsible for scheduling.
Chen Shuhao of the Ninth Academy's management office could not meddle in military projects at all. This surprised Yan Pingyuan. At the same time, he was also relieved, otherwise, he didn't know how Jeremy Chen would disgust himself.
"Lao Lin, you have to tell Director Liu about this. The Iranians and Pakistanis follow my ass every day and urge for tanks, and our engine production is simply not available! Also, some of the electronic systems and computers that are provided there. You've got to add a lot of it......"
Lin Fulin looked at Yan Pingyuan and said coldly, "You should find Director Xie Heping who is in charge of scheduling for this matter, I am only in charge of technology." Last time, Director Liu warned you, why the specific production capacity cannot meet the standard, you yourself know better than me! ”
The corners of Yan Pingyuan's mouth twitched suddenly.
He didn't dare to say anything to anyone anymore, but turned his fire on his men.
541 accepted the overall management system of the Ninth Academy, but the production was not like the workshop of the Ninth Academy. Even the busiest civilian units. In order to increase the income of workers, the managers of each branch also arrange overtime every day instead of working shifts.
At the beginning, the 541 base was idle with a large number of personnel, but I didn't expect that now whether it is military or civilian production, there is a lack of a large number of skilled workers, or senior skilled workers. As long as part of the civilian production is abandoned. The production of tanks will be much faster.
It's not that the Ninth Academy base can't provide more electronic systems, but that it can't produce more engines here.
Yan Plain is clear. The people of the Ninth Academy also knew it.
Liu Yijiu no longer has the patience to play these games with him.
"Anyone who stands in the way of the development of the Ninth Academy will eventually be ruthlessly kicked out. Secretary Yan, I hope you can understand. Although the production of military products cannot bring you political achievements, its importance is far greater than that of civilian products, and you are a smart person. Director Liu's background. You should have counted them too, so you can do it yourself! Lin Fulin saw Yan Pingyuan's face tangled, as if he didn't know how to choose, and took the initiative to find him.
The people of the Ninth Academy have no political consciousness. Most people are serious about their work.
Lin Fulin shouldn't have said this, but Yan Pingyuan did too much. Now he is not doing his best to schedule production, or he is not familiar with this aspect at all, but he is building a cadre building in the base.
The Ninth Courtyard has made so much money, and the inside of the mountain is still like that.
If the base is known, the fate of Yan Plain can be imagined. As long as Liu Yijiu says a word, he doesn't want to mix in the system anymore.
Canon kept urging at home, and the production of tanks did not see much improvement. There's no way he's going to stay here for long.
On the border between Pakistan and Iran, due to the contradictions and conflicts between the two countries, both sides are beginning to build up troops on a large scale, and Iran's newly formed Revolutionary Guard armored forces are conducting exercises on the border, while Pakistan has not shown weakness in sending troops to confront each other at the border.
This has surprised the international community.
In particular, many people in the US intelligence services are following the development of the situation.
The relationship between Pakistan and Iran, they always felt that it was not so simple, especially when Khomeini overthrew the Pahlavi dynasty.
"Mr. President, the Pakistanis are thinking about the border with Iran in the southwest, and their elite troops are moving towards Kashmir...... "As the head of the special department, Colonel Avik is very puzzled by these things in front of him.
He always felt that there was a problem here, and the news was reported to the Ministry of Defense, but the bureaucrats in the Ministry of Defense did not take it seriously at all, and now they can only report it to the president.
Carter is now reeling from the presidential election, knowing that he is not being treated well by some conglomerates because he did not have the same significant track record as Nixon and others during his presidency, nor did he invest more in the military. He clearly saw that if the United States continued to compete with the Soviet Union, the powerful American economy would eventually be dragged down.
Therefore, it is impossible for many conglomerates that have made a fortune by war to support him.
It was hard to think that improving relations with China would give him prestige, but that was what Nixon pioneered. The only chance to win over the consortium was to export weapons and technology to China, but in the end it was stillborn because of the opposition of the Ministry of Defense and the parliament.
He no longer has the heart to pay attention to international affairs.
"Intelligence shows that Iran and Iraq are not preparing for war? Pakistan is preparing revenge on India, there is no hatred between the two countries, oil pipelines are being built, in fact there is a standoff on the border...... "There is no interest in meeting the president." Avik couldn't help but be a little speechless, and hurriedly said the suspicious place.
"This kind of thing should be left to the Department of Defense......" Carter shook his head. Winning the election is the most important thing I should do now! ”
Carter knew there was a chance to win the election, but he didn't dare. That is to openly declare the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union. Shift the battle from the shadows to the open. In order to change his image in the minds of the Chinese people.
Therefore, he does not have much ambition for the military expansion of the US government.
Even military aid to Khmer and other countries is not much.
After all, that's not in the national interest of the United States!
"Officials in the Ministry of Defense are now having a headache about the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Now the USSR is stepping up the delivery of military equipment to India. At the same time, Pakistan is taking our huge loan to buy a large number of weapons and equipment from China......" Avik shook his head.
Many lawmakers are unhappy with this matter.
China has grabbed too many orders from the United States, which has not been heard at all before.
That is, Carter, for anyone, if he gets the news in the morning, he will do Harry. Jacques pressed. Let them abandon purchases from China and return the money to the domestic military industry in the United States.
"The Ministry of Defense doesn't care, do we care about it? Even if there are any decisions, the parliament will pass? Carter didn't want to worry about that.
The United States is very dissatisfied with Pakistan's purchase of Chinese weapons and equipment, but for various reasons, it has not invested too much energy in investigating the truth! And it is simply impossible for the intelligence officers of the Americans to get close to the barracks of weapons and equipment purchased by the Pakistanis from China. Just as Pakistan will not open its American-equipped barracks to China.
They wanted to use Pakistan to contain India and curb the expansion of the Soviet Union's influence in South Asia. You can't suppress Pakistan too much.
Not to mention that Pakistan's Air Force equipment is now being procured from the United States. Especially now that the Americans are in contact with the United States, hoping to purchase some decommissioned second-hand battleships from the US government to strengthen their navy.
This is enough to make the people of the council smile. The reluctance to sell new warships does not mean that the battleships that were decommissioned during World War II are not good.
The end of World War II proved that huge battleships were only targets for powerful fighters! Americans don't sell. The British and French had a lot of second-hand battleships in their hands. Rather than let them rot, it is better to sell them for some money, at least save the cost of dismantling.
And the Soviet Union, for Pakistan's desperate purchase of Chinese weapons and equipment, the entire Soviet top brass laughed.
"As for those backward weapons and equipment of the Chinese? Can you compare with us? But it's also a good thing. Only in this way will India continue to increase its investment in the procurement of weapons and equipment for us! Get the intelligence community to pay attention to a comprehensive investigation into Pakistan's arms dealings with the Chinese. On the side of the Indians, the scale of arms exports of all kinds has increased...... "Brezhnev was not at all impressed by Pakistan's purchase of cheap weapons from China.
This will in turn strengthen their arms exports to India.
This was a good thing for the Soviet Union. Only by exporting more weapons would the USSR be able to guarantee India its interests in the South Asian region.
"General Secretary, after our analysis, I always feel that there are too many strange things in this matter!" Xie Lepin said with a frown.
This old thing doesn't have a few days to live, but he has a tighter grip on everything.
"There is nothing at all! Saddam Hussein was ready to take action against Iran, taking advantage of Khomeini's lack of domestic stability. And now the Americans have interrupted arms exports to Iran. The volume of weapons and equipment purchased by Iraq is accelerating! Once the Iran-Iraq war breaks out, Pakistan will definitely stab the Iranians in the back. Harry. Ark is currently using the loans that the Pahlavi dynasty once gave them to buy cheap weapons and equipment from China! Chuikov shook his head.
This transfer is normal.
Whether Iran is going to war with Iraq or Pakistan is going to war with India, both countries are stockpiling heavy troops on their borders.
The relationship between the two countries was very good in the past, but it does not mean that now, especially after Khomeini came to power, he is very uninterested in the Americans, and the Tehran hostage incident has not been resolved until now. The Soviet Union wanted to intervene in Iran, but it had to take into account Saddam's attitude.
Every year, Saddam Hussein has a lot of arms purchase orders, and the number of purchases has increased even more.
The original Pahlavi dynasty, they would still be worried about whether there would be a problem here, but now they don't have to worry at all. The USSR supported Saddam Hussein, supported India.
And Khomeini has lost the support of the Americans, and the two countries will definitely go to war over the disputed territories.
The question of Kashmir, the Americans behaved more toughly, especially after the massive purchase of weapons and equipment by the Indian government from the USSR!
"Just like us, if we want to compete with Western countries, we have to guard against the Chinese!" By the way, what is the connection with China? Do we have any hope of getting their cloudburst bombs and new cannon steel technology? As soon as he thought of this, Brezhnev suddenly became a little uncomfortable.
The Chinese actually took shit luck and developed a weapon of mass destruction.
The monkeys suffered greatly under this weapon, and the Soviets did not find a way to deal with it.
"Chinese don't sell us the technology of cloud burst bombs, but there is news from them that the new tank gun steel technology is available, but they want our aircraft engine technology to be exchanged...... "Podgorny was as disgusted as eating a fly.
"The Chinese are not small in ambition, let them dream!" From the very beginning, Chuikov showed his strength against China, and if it were not for the disagreement of the Presidium, which was worried about completely pushing China to the United States, he would have taken action against China long ago.
"Perhaps, this is an opportunity for us. There is no fundamental conflict between us and China. And the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, China is desperately trying to import various technologies from the United States...... "Alexey . Nikolaevich. Kosygin said with a frown.
Brezhnev suddenly turned cold, "The Chinese are ungrateful white-eyed wolves!" Trade with them, absolutely not! ”
It was not that there was no conflict of interest between the Soviet Union and China, but that the conflict of interest was very large.
Otherwise, the long border standoff would have ended long ago.
If China joins the Soviet Union, the West will have no chance of winning at all!
Few countries, whether it is the top level of the United States, the Soviet Union, or even the entire Western world, are concerned about the situation in Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, and India.
After all, the main confrontation between the two sides is still in Europe. (To be continued......)
