The total budget of the smart factory is 400 million US dollars, and NB Electric is not enough to sell iron even if it smashes the pot, and there are still 300 million yuan waiting for the charter to earn.

Arriving at King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, Saudi Arabia late at night, planes laden with bombs, like monsters prostrate on their heads, may suddenly pounce at any time. Two long rows of lights next to the runway resemble two bloodthirsty fangs stretched out by a giant beast.

When the war began, the security checks were much stricter than the previous two times, and the customs officials repeatedly interrogated them for nearly 10 minutes before they were allowed to enter the country.

Every time I come to Saudi Arabia, I always feel that I have come to be poor with Lao Shabi.

As soon as I got out of the airport, I saw a former East German diplomat, NB Electric Europe sales logistics Leo and a strange German standing in front of a Land Rover, and it was not necessary to know that the road car belonged to Mohammed.

"Heiko. Major Laufenberg, former KPA General Staff in Iraq, sent by Dr. Klinsmann as your military adviser and liaison. ”

"Military advisors?" The charter was laughed at by Leo's introduction, and subconsciously glanced back.

"Yes," Leo confirmed, starting his engine and slowly driving the car out of the parking lot as he leaned on the steering wheel, "the Doctor and his friends believe that the course of the war will directly affect their plans, so they ask the Major, a professional, to come and serve as a staff officer for you." ”

Iraq has more than one million soldiers, the coalition forces are only more than 500,000, and the number of tanks and armored vehicles is several times that of the coalition forces. Dr. Klinsmann begged his grandfather and grandmother, and used almost all the connections and resources he could muster, so how could he not care about what the battle would be?

"Mr. Zhang. It's my pleasure to serve you. ”

Major Heiko was respectful. In fluent English, he said: "Providing you with a war analysis is just one of my jobs. In addition, he is responsible for liaising with Dr. Hall's fleet and is also responsible for your safety while in the Middle East. ”

The staff officer, secretary and bodyguard, the charter was happy, and secretly thought that Dr. Klinsmann was a quick learner, and that he actually exploited the surplus value of others in this way.

As he expected, NB Industrial Manufacturing did not offer a high salary, but Major Heiko cherished this hard-won job.

After German reunification, less than 5 percent of former East German People's Army officers like him were taken in by the federal army. None of the generals will be retained, and even if individual officers are retained, they will be demoted. For example, a technical officer, who was a lieutenant colonel in East Germany, could only be a captain in the West German army, and was always strongly discriminated against.

For example, pensions have been reduced to 86 per cent, for example, they are classified as a category of people who have served in foreign countries, for example, retirement with the original military rank is not permitted, and even the qualifications obtained in the KPA are not recognized.

An army disappears without firing a single shot, and perhaps the Russian musician Tchaikovsky's Sixth Symphony in B minor is a better way to express the mood for the fate of this army, because that piece of music also has a name - pathos.

Think of those former East German military items that Daniel collected. Thinking of the choice made by this unit at the most critical moment, the charter was filled with emotion. There are no further doubts about his presence here.

"Major, welcome to the big family of NB Electric, I think our next cooperation will be very pleasant."

Although the new boss was very young and didn't seem to be so difficult to get along with, Major Heiko finally breathed a sigh of relief, took out a stack of materials from his briefcase, and said very professionally: "Mr. Zhang, if I can, I would like to introduce the battle situation first. ”

"Absolutely, it's your job."

"At 3 o'clock in the morning the day before yesterday, the coalition forces launched the first round of air strikes, 11 hours and 25 hours earlier, B-52 bombers carrying AGM-86C cruise missiles had taken off from Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, the continental United States. Seven hours before the attack, the B-52, stationed on the island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, took off. Subsequently, F-117, F-15, F-16 and other planes stationed at various bases in Saudi Arabia also took off one after another. One hour and 29 minutes before the attack, a batch of Tomahawk cruise missiles was launched from a US Navy cruiser cruising in the Red Sea......

Almost at the same time as the 'Apache' helicopter attacked the Yin army's radar position, an F-117 stealth fighter-bomber burst into the sky over Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, and accurately dropped a 2,000-pound precision-guided bomb on the roof of the telephone and telegraph company building in downtown Baghdad. ”

Despite a clear understanding of what the outcome of the war would be, the charter listened attentively because it was a sign of respect for him, for it was not easy for him to collect information through television and newspapers.

Seeing that the charter nodded slightly, Major Heiko continued: "According to a friend of the Yemeni embassy in Baghdad, the government buildings, military barracks and oil refineries in Baghdad were hit one after another in the first round of air strikes, and some other important strategic targets distributed in Iraq were also heavily bombed.

It took 90 minutes for the Iraqi air defense forces to respond, and all anti-aircraft firearms in the city opened fire in unison, due to the heavy air strikes by the coalition forces and the strong electronic interference. Iraqi air defense radars and surface-to-air missiles were quickly suppressed. The remaining anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns had to fight on their own, firing blindly into the air.

After daybreak, the coalition forces increased the intensity of air strikes. As of midnight yesterday, coalition planes had carried out three rounds of high-intensity bombing of targets in Iraq and Kuwait, making more than 2,000 sorties and dropping more than 10,000 tons of bombs. In addition, US warships anchored at sea also fired more than 100 Tomahawk cruise missiles at command and communications centers, radar and anti-aircraft missile positions, and some airfields in the hinterland of Iraq......"

The "Desert Storm" was blowing fiercely, and the main purpose of the strategic air strikes at the beginning was to weaken Iraq's war potential and seize and maintain strategic air supremacy. All kinds of planes took turns day and night to continuously maintain strong air pressure on Iraq.

Under the wanton and indiscriminate bombing of coalition planes, the Iraqi army was neither able to parry nor fight back, and the hundreds of planes equipped by the Iraqi air force either fled abroad or hid deep underground. The few Iraqi planes that barely took to the skies immediately became live targets for the multinational force, and some Iraqi pilots were hit by air-to-air missiles launched before they could spot the multinational force's planes. The soul returns to the West.

Saddam's Republican Guard, the "army within the army," was also on the "blacklist." It is listed as a key target. Because the leaders of the coalition know it in their hearts. If Saddam's elite division cannot be effectively consumed, it will cause great trouble for future ground offensives.

Listening to professionals is much more interesting than watching TV.

The charter nodded meaningfully, and asked curiously, "Major, has Dr. Hall's fleet set sail?" ”

"Yes, they're fast."

Major Heiko pulled out a list and said, "Seven decommissioned P-13-300 turbojet engines, three decommissioned T-34 tank chassis. Four heavy-duty trucks, three excavators, six bulldozers and twelve RVs, as well as water pumps, generators, maintenance machinery, and raw materials such as steel pipes and steel plates, were all loaded onto the ship and modified while sailing.

The last time I made a Maritime Satellite phone call was at 3 p.m., and Dr. Hall asked me to tell you that all seven engines were operational, with more than 10,000 kW of injection power. They are adding mesh protection to the air intakes to prevent inhalation of foreign objects. And in front of the mesh protection device, a fire sprinkler control room is installed, which is operated by one person.

Directly above the engine nozzle, two water jet pipes are also installed, and the seawater drawn by the pipes is used for fire extinguishing spraying. At that time, a single turbojet engine will shoot a high-speed gas jet of 60 kilograms per second at a rate of 500 meters per second.

When seawater shoots out of two water pipes. It is strongly impacted by a jet of high-velocity gas ejected from a turbojet engine, forming a fine water mist. It becomes a two-phase jet of exhaust gas and water mist. He believed that it was perfectly possible to cut and cool the flame with a high-speed water mist jet, disrupt its stable combustion, and quickly extinguish the flame. ”

That's what the Hungarians did, and the idea was their own, there's no doubt about that.

The charter nodded with satisfaction, and asked again: "Major, with so many vehicles and equipment, how did the two nanny ships fit?" ”

Major Heiko shook his head and patiently explained: "Mr. Zhang, these are not two nanny ships, but two floating bases of the former East German Navy speedboat unit. It is 70.4 meters long, 12 meters wide, 1.6 meters draft, 30 crew members, and consists of 3 decks. The lower deck was originally equipped with a torpedo warehouse, an artillery and light weapons ammunition depot, a power compartment to accommodate three diesel engines, a boiler room, a galley and a crew canteen. In addition to the cooking equipment, there are several cold rooms in the kitchen. In addition, shower rooms and laundry rooms with semi-automatic washing machines are also on this deck;

On the middle deck is the sailor's quartering quarters, adjacent to the medical room. The torpedo maintenance workshop is also on this floor, with electrical equipment, gas compression equipment for torpedoes; On the top deck are the quarters for non-commissioned officers and officers, which are equipped with a small arms hangroom, as well as the ship's broadcasting room and the ship's backup power facilities.

Two three-ton cranes were installed on deck to transfer torpedoes and other equipment to the speedboat, as well as two lifeboats and other life-saving equipment. Although it can carry 180 tons of marine diesel, 10 tons of engine oil, 100 tons of boiler water, 100 tons of drinking water, and food for 30 days, it has no power and needs to be towed for sailing.

Because of this, the Trusteeship Bureau, at the strong request of the doctor, gave another engineering ship that was about to be scrapped. The engineering vessel had been used for offshore platform maintenance, and the rear deck was large enough to accommodate two helicopters, so it was perfectly fine to fit those vehicles and equipment. ”

The charter was made to cry and laugh, and couldn't help but ask: "Major, when will a broken boat tow two unpowered nanny boats to the bay?" ”

Major Heike smiled helplessly and said: "The speed of the voyage is seven knots, the speed is indeed unsatisfactory, but it can't be faster, counting the supplies along the way, it is expected to take a month and a half." ”

A month and a half, the battle was just over, and the charter breathed a sigh of relief. (To be continued......)
