Chapter 345: Marching into Bakhtaran
Mobile phone? When Gorbachev heard this, this is very easy, as a big country, there are countless pride in it, and every invention that is more advanced than the United States is something that makes them feel proud, for example, this mobile communication technology.
"This can be introduced, but don't underestimate this call, the initial investment is quite large, and the cost of use is also quite high, is it necessary for your country?" Gorbachev asked.
"Of course it's necessary." Zhang Feng said: "If your country can help China complete the construction of this mobile phone, China will be very grateful." ”
This mobile phone is purely civilian, and military communications are still in a conventional way, and this kind of mobile phone connected to the local phone has many shortcomings, for example, the signal is not encrypted, and it is easy to be eavesdropped. Therefore, the export of such civilian equipment, the USSR was very generous. What's more, the Soviet Union now needs a large amount of investment to develop its domestic economy, and the Soviet Union is desperate for such a profitable project.
"In order to better make this system run better, we also hope to buy a batch of computers from your country for program-controlled data exchange, in order to better upgrade our equipment, it is best to use large-scale computers." Zhang Feng said.
The introduction of mobile phones is a slight act, and through this, the introduction of mainframe computers is the main purpose, because Zhang Feng really can't find a better excuse.
Mainframe computers? Hearing this, Gorbachev knew something about this kind of thing, which belongs to the strategic nature, because this kind of thing is related to numerical calculations in the field of high precision. For example, nuclear weapons and missile development require large-frame computers.
Therefore, when he heard this, Gorbachev hesitated a little, and although he attached importance to improving relations in the Middle East and to exchanges with Iraq, this does not mean that he can give Iraq any assistance.
"I'm sorry, we can't export this kind of mainframe computer." Gorbachev said.
When Zhang Feng heard this, he also expected it: "If we have this kind of computer, our entire telephone network will be faster, and we need this kind of large-scale computer very much." It's a shame. Let's not want too advanced models, even the old BESM-6 will do. ”
The Soviet Union was not lagging behind in the field of large-scale computers, and the BESM-6 was the first supercomputer system in the Soviet Union to eliminate the tube. It was designed by the Lebedev Institute of Precision Instruments and Computer Engineering in 1965 and put into production in 1967. This mainframe is made up of transistors and does not use integrated circuits. In the 70s it was widely used in various fields by the Soviet Union.
The new "Elbrus" is a series of supercomputer systems developed by the Lebedev Institute of Precision Instruments and Computer Engineering from the 70s, which make extensive use of integrated circuits. The Elbrus-2 developed into a computer with 10 superscalar RISC processors, and it is considered the first real supercomputer in the Soviet Union. It is widely used in aerospace engineering, nuclear weapons research and defense systems.
What Zhang Feng wants most is this supercomputer, but he also knows that he will definitely not be able to buy it, unless it is a few years away.
"However, in order to support our friendly brothers, we can export some small computers to your country." Gorbachev said.
Zhang Feng heard that the gap between small computers and large computers is very large, and those data that need to be calculated can be calculated for one hour on a mainframe computer and a few days on a small computer, but it is better than nothing.
"Thank you so much!" Zhang Feng said.
This mission to the Soviet Union was basically completed.
Zhang Feng actually wants to stay for a few more days and have a more detailed understanding of this country, especially the navy, the Soviet Union has a strong navy and warship research and development capabilities, with Iraq occupying the port of Khomeini, Iraq's coastline has become much longer, Iraq's navy should also develop in recent years, if it is not for Iraq's current funds are not very abundant, he really wants to buy some corvettes to go back, the current equipment of the Iraqi navy is at most only some gunboats.
If Iraq wants to become a great power, a strong navy is necessary, and the navy needs time to accumulate, so it is necessary to start arranging it as soon as possible.
Let's wait until I return home.
After meeting with a Soviet heavyweight like Gorbachev, Zhang Feng also wanted to visit the Black Sea Fleet in Ukraine, and received news from China: the Northern Military District is already attacking Bakhtaran.
He knew that his trip to the Soviet Union might end there.
Every time I travel, I don't have a complete one, and in the end, there are always all kinds of things, which may be the helplessness of the superiors, who want to take a little time to sit by the pool in the villa, bask in the sun, and drink a glass of juice, which has become a luxury.
The attack of the Northern Military Region should not be in the way of the south, but Zhang Feng always felt intuitively, as if something was going to happen.
Because of Zhang Feng's crossing, the Iran-Iraq war is now one-sided, and at this time in history, Iran has concentrated 100,000 troops to launch a fierce attack on the Basra region in southern Iraq. It controls a narrow strip of about 200 square kilometres of territory in Iraq. In the north, Iran sent 50,000 troops to attack the Mandali region in northern Iraq, penetrating deep into Iraqi territory and posing a serious threat to Baghdad. The Iraqi army, which was in a hurry, organized seven counterattacks before blocking the Iranian army along the border.
And now, Iraq firmly has the upper hand, and the Iranian army, there is nothing decent to counterattack.
However, this is very abnormal, you must know that compared with Iraq, the biggest advantage of Iran is the huge population base and Khomeini's demagogy of people's hearts, in the beginning, even young soldiers were used.
Now, Iran's weakest aspect is the lack of weaponry, the Iranian air force is almost paralyzed, and the army's armored units are suffering heavy casualties, but the Iranians still have war potential.
Especially in the northern mountains, their own armor advantage will not be well played, and now that it has entered winter, on the Iranian plateau, the climate is very cold, can the soldiers of the Northern Military District adapt to this severe cold?
Although the current international situation is very favorable, the hostages of the hijacking incident have not yet been resolved, and the United States will certainly stand on the side of Iraq, it is still a bit reckless to launch an attack at this time.
Although Zhang Feng is in charge of the Southern Military Region, as long as he guards the land he occupies now, what he hates most about his stubborn father is that his command is said to be wrong, he is not very good at commanding wars, but he always likes to point fingers, especially the actions of the Air Force, and always interferes greatly.
Fortunately, the air force of the Iranians is almost crippled, as long as they do not provoke the other side in Tehran, they will generally not move, and they will not even be exempted from taking off.
Because even if it is a take-off, it will consume valuable parts, at present, the Messiah Bureau is closely monitoring, if the United States dares to repeat the Iran-Contra in history, what he needs to do is to expose this insider story and get Reagan down!
Zhang Feng didn't know that he couldn't accurately grasp the pulse of the times every time, and this time, he miscalculated.
……… Bakhtalan Province, Siys-Lanabad.
It is a small town located halfway between Naftshahr and Bakhtalan with a population of only a few tens of thousands, however, the strategic location is very important.
The mighty Northern Corps, personally led by Lieutenant General Hazraj of Iraq, finally arrived here after several days of trekking.
They, having set foot on Iranian soil!
The altitude here is 1,500 meters, and the tanks are also emitting black smoke due to lack of power, and the offensive has been very smooth in the past few days.
They guessed right, because of the war that has been going on for two years, Iran is under sanctions, and the Iranians' force is now at its lowest point.
Along the way, although they were resisted, the Iranians, who were only armed with light weapons, could not stop their torrent of steel at all, especially the capture of two important bridges on the way to attack, armored units, which had been successfully developed here.
At the head of the offensive sequence is the proud of the Iraqi army, the prestigious Medina Division.
This division was created in 1968 as the Iraqi Republican Guard, the most elite ace unit in the Iraqi army, and Medina is the second holiest city of Islam, second only to Mecca. Naming this division after this shows the importance of this division, they are the sword in the hands of President Saddam, and this time, when the sword is unsheathed, it will surely return with the blood of the Iranians.
The Medina Division is well-armed and has the most advanced weapons in Iraq, with a total of 270 T-72 tanks, 250 BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles and 60 artillery pieces, as well as SAM-7 anti-aircraft missiles. It consists of 3 armored brigades and 1 infantry brigade, with a total of more than 10,000 people.
Because of the slow movement of several other infantry divisions, the Medina division advanced very fast, and had already left the infantry far behind, they were here, waiting for a day, and at the same time, supplies from the rear were being transported.
From here, attacking forward, it will be easier to get closer, because, Bakhtalan is located in the valley of the Garre, and if they advance further, they will begin to descend the mountain.
As the troops advanced here, almost all of them believed that it would be easy to capture Bakhtalam, occupy this land on the Iranian plateau, and use it as a base to further threaten Tehran.
A gust of wind blew, but Lieutenant General Hazraj did not feel any cold, his heart was hot.
He will definitely become famous in one battle and make great achievements!
