799 I knew why I had Iraq today
"And, according to information from the Saudi side, it is quite possible that the Iranians received such strategic missiles as the DF-3 from China. If this is the case, they should have the same heavy cloudburst bombs in their hands as Saudi Arabia, and if they fire a few bombs at Baghdad...... "As the commander-in-chief of the Iran-Iraq war, Sultan Hashim Ahmed naturally cannot be left behind in terms of intelligence.
If it weren't for the fact that they knew that Iran had a good chance of getting the DF-3, they would have launched a ship attack on Iranian ships, and at the same time would have used the Scud missiles they purchased from the Soviet Union in large quantities to launch attacks on cities in Iran.
The Dongfeng-3 on the Saudi side has a large number of technicians from China to carry out operation control.
And the other missiles are not given to Iraq now.
Because the Saudis fear that the Iranian side will retaliate against them.
"Are you sure?" Saddam's face changed suddenly.
Iran has in its hands the DF-3 with a range of up to 2800 km, which is an absolute nightmare for them.
Even if Khomeini's grandson cannot win a conventional war, he will be able to use these missiles to directly bomb the Iraqi presidential palace with long-range attacks, and then it will be much easier for Iran to attack Iraq again without Saddam.
"The possibilities are high. When Liu Yijiu was selling weapons in our country, we gave up purchasing their rocket artillery and the armed transport helicopters that we were trying to sell, and this hateful Chinese must have held a grudge, so they carried their domestic pressure to get the Chinese government to agree to sell a lot of sophisticated weapons to Iran...... It's from the Americans, "The CIA has been looking after this." It's just that the other side is very secretive, and it is very likely that the DF-3 provided by China to Iran is drawn from their current weapons and equipment......"
Hashem for this matter. Although there is a lot of anger in his heart, he doesn't show it too much.
If he had purchased armed transport helicopters from Liu Yijiu, he would not only have been able to reduce the losses of his Longwei tanks, but also prevent the Chinese from selling cloud burst bombs to Iran.
"Even the Americans and the Soviets imported the technology from China to produce cloudburst bombs. People on the American side say that this is the most powerful conventional bomb under nuclear weapons! "There is no way to prevent a cloudburst bomb unless it is killed when the other side launches it at the beginning, and Kamal, who is in charge of military production, very much hopes that Iraq will have it.
The United States gave them the recipe for the production of mustard gas. But this thing is a bit of a madness.
Even, Kamal felt that the United States had given Iraq the technology to produce this neurotoxin because it was simply uneasy and kind.
This is a weapon of mass destruction. But it's not of much use on the battlefield.
"What we're talking about now is, what should we do!" Saddam Hussein didn't want to hear these words like an afterthought.
If there was a regret medicine, he would rather not be as arrogant as Liu Yijiu at the beginning. Spend more money to buy more weapons and equipment from China. Nor is it willing to allow Khomeini's enemies of the entire Arab world to acquire such a weapon of destruction.
The problem is something that has already passed, and regret is useless.
"Perhaps the best thing we should do now is to get the same weapons from China as they do."
"The Chinese will sell it to us? Now China is not as serious as it was at the beginning, and how can the United States explain to the Soviet Union? "Saddam Hussein was not a fool." Especially the relationship between the Chinese and Iran is more than we imagined......"
"Your Excellency, there are only eternal interests between nations, not eternal friendship. Even if the Chinese agree to sell the DF-3 to us, it will not be possible to transport it to the country. The Americans and the Soviets have now stepped up their surveillance of China. Conventional weapons and equipment are difficult to procure from them. Even if we are willing to buy. The Chinese are also willing to sell, it is said. Liu Yijiu, the young man, is very resentful...... "It is not easy to purchase the same cloud burst bomb from China, or even the production technology of cloud burst bombs.
The most important thing is to convince Liu Yijiu.
"Then let Khalam lower his posture and ask what kind of advanced weapons and manufacturing technology can be procured from China. Chinese machinery and equipment can also be purchased...... Don't they want our oil fields? Don't you want to export oilfield equipment? We can give them all of these! As long as you can buy advanced weapons and equipment from China, as long as the performance is not much worse than that of the Soviet Union, and the price is cheap, buy it from them, and it is best to be able to buy production technology from their domestic ......" Saddam Hussein was a little helpless.
He is suspicious by nature, so he naturally speculates on Liu Yijiu's behavior and habits based on his own style of behavior.
He also understands that Liu Yijiu's export of cloud burst bombs to Iran did not allow Iran to obtain them for so long before, but instead exported these weapons and equipment to Iran after his trip to the Middle East, so he can naturally understand that this is to retaliate against Iraq.
The world's top five ...... In the past, China was very close to the countries of the third world in the international community, and the United States and the Soviet Union both had their own spheres of influence when it came to the export of weapons and equipment.
Iraq initially followed the Soviet Union, but what the Soviet Union did in the Middle East made Saddam see danger.
Afghanistan was originally mixed with the Soviet Union, and in the end, didn't the Soviet Union invade Afghanistan?
In order to strengthen the Soviet presence in the Middle East, now Iran has begun to oppose the United States, and the United States, in order to maintain their interests in the region, has begun to desperately make overtures to Iraq.
Saddam Hussein naturally knew that the Americans were unreliable, and so were the Soviets.
Hell-bent on developing Iraq's entire industry and giving Iraq the ability to independently produce all kinds of weapons and equipment, neither the Soviet Union nor the Americans agreed.
It is no problem for them to buy any weapons and equipment, but if they want to buy production technology, they should not think about it at all.
Iran has acquired a lot of production equipment and machinery production technology in the hands of the Chinese, why can't Iraq?
Therefore, Saddam Hussein hopes to be able to buy production technology from China.
Comprehensive industrial strength is the most important indicator to measure a country's war potential. Of course, the war is only a small aspect.
Iraq has an inadequate industrial system and a huge foreign exchange.
In the current situation, in the face of war, once the shells and bullets run out, they have little chance of letting the war continue, is it possible that the Iraqi soldiers will finally go to the battlefield with big knives and spears?
Faced with the news from Iraq, Liu Yijiu was a little dumbfounded.
What stimulated Saddam's goods?
In particular, Kanlam's attitude towards him instantly improved a lot, and hinted that Liu Yijiu could even let Liu Yijiu personally own a small oil field in Iraq as long as they could get what they wanted.
"General, can you tell me why your attitude has changed so much now? There is an old saying in China that there is no such thing as a free lunch...... "In the face of the change in Iraq, Director Liu felt that it was too sudden.
In particular, Iraq wants to import a full set of production technology and equipment for key military industries from China, which Liu Yijiu really did not expect.
In fact, Iraq's military industry still has a certain foundation.
Otherwise, they would not have drifted further down the path of developing weapons of mass destruction.
"At present, your country has very good relations with the Soviet Union, and almost all kinds of weapons can be bought, and at the same time, the United States is also showing goodwill to you, and the technology and equipment of the United States are much better than ours in China......" This is something that Liu Yijiu cannot figure out.
The Soviet Union and the United States should also be more concerned about this matter.
What Iraq wants is nothing more than a production line for tanks, a production line for fighter planes, and of course, if it can get some missile production lines, this is the best thing.
Shipbuilding or something, they don't have to.
What Liu Yijiu can't figure out is why Iraq is currently following the same path as Iran.
Could it be that both countries are preparing to fight to the death at the moment?
"Director Liu, although many weapons from the Soviet Union will not be banned from being exported to us, there are extremely serious restrictions in many aspects, and the most advanced weapons and equipment, whether it is the Soviet Union, the United States, or even your country, will be exported? This is not to mention the problem of having production technology, which every sovereign country wants to have. Only if you can be self-sufficient, can you ensure the security of national defense, weapons and equipment, not the most advanced is the best...... This time, whether it is Iran or us, on the eve of the war, some weapons and equipment have been detained, and the Soviet Union has even forced us to help them test new weapons......" Kanram explained to Liu Yijiu.
This reason, as it sounds on the surface, is very reasonable.
But if you take a closer look, there is no such thing.
Liu Yijiu does not recognize such a reason.
"Director Liu, the Iraqis aren't going to be playing with us, are they? At the beginning, even the core equipment you promoted, such as the Zhijiuyi, 8208 missiles, etc., were all refused, but now they directly ask us what kind of equipment we can provide them! Zhou Jun didn't understand.
He really couldn't figure it out.
"Some production lines, even if they buy them back, they will be in vain!"
"They're trying to get me! It's not that they need our ordinary production lines so much, but they want to calm the anger in my heart and prevent me from making a move against them on the next arms sales order! Liu Yijiu shook his head and said.
"Why are they doing this? You know, you sold them all kinds of weapons in the first place! Zhou Jun was a little puzzled.
"If you knew today, why bother in the first place?" Liu Yijiu sneered, "Let's see how much money they are going to use to buy how much equipment." ”
