"President Qusay, in the Mediterranean, the American aircraft carrier group, stopped west of Crete and did not continue eastward. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info{{}} "In Baghdad, Qusay heard what he wanted most.

"Now, the Americans have discovered that there are spies in ambush in the United States, and it seems that this time the United States will be very angry." Taha's eyes flashed, he didn't expect that Qusay's methods this time would be so clever.

"Yes, Perez personally went to Washington to explain to Reagan, and it is said that as soon as he got off the plane, he was attacked by a leather shoe." Tariq said.

"The so-called alliance between the United States and Israel is actually the needs of the interests of both sides, and the United States needs to safeguard its interests in the Middle East, and the United States needs the support of the United States in order to be able to have a strong force to consolidate its national defense. Qusay said.

"Yes, the loss of such a column is greater than the loss of several of our attacks." Taha said: "If there can be a few more espionage incidents, then, I am afraid the relationship between the two sides will really be completely deadlocked." {{}}”

"Yes, there is not only Jay who is listed as a spy in the United States, this time, the Americans need to dig deep in the afternoon and find out all the spies listed in the sè, and it is best to put all the American Jews into the cold palace." Qusay said.

"President Qusay, the first phase of our shipyard has been successfully completed, and the first missile boat of our own construction, which has completed construction on the slipway, is about to be launched for outfitting." Industry Minister Amir said.

"Really?" Qusai suddenly became interested: "Then today, let's go to the shipyard and have a look." ”

The slipway is used to build ships, the steel plate of the ship is cut and pressed into various required shapes, and then, welded on the slipway, it becomes the outline of the ship, and there are cranes and scaffolding on both sides of the slipway. It is used for construction. After the main body of the ship is built, it needs to pass through the inclined plane on the slipway and enter the water, which is a spectacular moment of splashing waves, and it is also the moment to test the ship's xing energy, if there is a problem during welding, maybe, in the process of launching. It will collapse because it can't withstand the instantaneous water pressure.

After getting into the water. {{}} is sent to the outfitting dock by tugboat, and then various small works are carried out.

So why not build a complete ship straight on the slipway. Can it be delivered after it enters the water? Because the construction of a slipway is very costly, the slipway is also a very valuable resource. The empty slipway is freed up to make it easier to carry out the construction below. The outfitting dock next to it is much simpler. Moreover, when the ship is launched, because many parts are not installed, the weight is lighter, the water pressure when launching is smaller, and the impact when launching is also small. This may cause some electronic devices to malfunction.

The Red Star Missile Boat is a small ship selected by Qusay for the Iraqi Navy to sail in the Persian Gulf region, and the Iraqi Navy still has limited combat capability, but the future development of the Iraqi Navy has been planned by Qusay. What the Navy needs most is time, and with time, there will be enough well-trained combat personnel and time. In order to have the construction of all kinds of warships, Iraq needs. Rather than just buying a few warships from a foreign country, Iraq needs to have its own shipbuilding capabilities.

Therefore, the establishment of a shipyard is a big move by Qusay, which accounts for a large part of Iraq's defense spending, and now, the huge investment is finally about to bear fruit, and Iraq's own construction, which is also the first ship with a displacement of more than 500 tons manufactured by the entire Middle East region, ushered in the launching ceremony. {{}}

The launch of the ship is very ceremonious, because it can almost be regarded as the beginning of the life of a warship, in the swaddling clothes of the shipyard, thriving.

This ceremony is second only to the final delivery ceremony, and in this launching ceremony, it is necessary to name the ship.

It takes a long time for a warship to go from construction to launch to service, for example, the U.S. Navy's aircraft carrier, from laying the keel to finally entering service at sea, takes a decade of arduous work.

However, it is easier for such a small missile boat with a displacement of only more than 500 tons, especially since Iraq hired many employees who used to work in the shipyard from the eastern powers with high salaries, and when the first phase of the shipyard project was completed, it began to cut the first steel plate.

The steel for the first missile boat was imported from the big eastern countries, and the second one was made by Iraq itself. {{

Sabal Bay, west of Port Saddam.

Just two years ago, it was a deserted riverbank, but now it is a modern shipbuilding enterprise, an Iraqi state-run shipyard!

The first phase of infrastructure construction here has been completed, the second phase of the project is still ongoing, and in the midst of the flying arc sparks, a behemoth tens of meters long has gradually taken shape.

When President Qusay arrived, the launching ceremony was about to begin, and the red-star missile boat, which had already completed its mission on the slipway, was already flying bright flags to welcome its arrival.

The hull is no longer slender, but somewhat full, the length-to-width ratio is less than ten, such a ship, can improve the seakeeping xing and comfort xing, the upper two floors of the ship, have begun to take shape, however, the front of the naval guns, various radar equipment, and the rear missile equipment, have not yet been on the ship, the two propellers and tail rudder in the back, clearly visible, are facing the sea, ready to throw into its arms. {{}}

Inside the ship, four diesel engines with a total power of 13,000 horsepower have been placed in place, which can theoretically provide the ship with a speed of more than 32 knots, but how much it can reach remains to be tested at the final sea trial.

In the makeshift platform next to the slipway, Cheng Yu, the head of the Chinese side, picked up the microphone very excitedly and was about to make an announcement, but found a sāo movement below, and when she looked up again, that person, the person she had recalled countless times in her mind, was slowly walking to her place.

The President of Iraq, Qusay-Abdullah!

Countless times, Cheng Yu thought about the scene when he saw Cusai again, and this time, he finally saw it, or on such a grand and commemorative occasion!

"Chief Engineer Cheng, I heard that our ship is about to be launched, did you miss this ceremony?" Qusay said with a smile, looking at this woman who was still wearing a green military uniform even though she had arrived in Iraq.

When she first arrived in Iraq, Cheng Yu often surveyed outside, causing her skin to be tanned by the sun, and now, as if she has adapted to this place, she has regained her fair skin again, and she doesn't know the effect of the few bottles of sunscreen she gave her, although her temperament is more mature, but looking at her eyes, she is clearly full of an inexplicable naughtiness, as if the two have been old friends for many years.

"President Qusay, now, this ceremony is about to begin, and you are very welcome to come and participate in this ceremony," Cheng Yu said with a little excitement: "Since you are here, it is most suitable for you to carry out the bottle striking ceremony." ”

Bottle striking ritual? Qusay was a little puzzled, and the person in charge of the Iraqi side next to him had already begun to explain: "When a new ship is launched, according to international practice, it is necessary to have a naming ceremony and a bottle striking ceremony, and the bottle striking ceremony is to smash a bottle of champagne at the bow of the ship, but we do not have this kind of ceremony in the Arab world, and it was introduced by Chief Engineer Cheng." ”

Today, there are no shipyards in Arabia at all, only the Arab shipyard built by the State of Bahrain in 1973 and put into operation in 1978, specializing in giant oil tankers. Therefore, this is the first time that this kind of ritual has been introduced to Iraq.

The tradition of smashing glass bottles with ships in the water has a long history, but in the beginning, this ritual called for the death of a boy: he was slammed into the side of the launching ship as a blood sacrifice to the god of the sea. Fortunately, during the ceremony of launching the ship, champagne was finally used instead of the boy.

In all countries with developed shipbuilding industries, this ceremony is very solemn.

Hearing that it was an international practice, Qusay readily agreed, boarded the warship that was about to be launched, shook the bottle of champagne a few times, and then threw it against the deck at the bow.

This ceremony is very solemn, if the bottle is not broken, I am afraid it will make everyone ugly, in a loud bang, on the bow of the ship, foam splashing, the ceremony of smashing the bottle, carried out very successfully.

At this ceremony, the first Iraqi-produced missile boat was named Enterprise, symbolizing the god of the entire Iraqi nation, constantly moving upwards and forging ahead!

Amid the cheers of the surrounding crowd, the hull of the Enterprise began to slowly ground, and because it was a dinghy, it was launched on the side in the most spectacular way.

The moment the entire hull entered the water, the waves of the hull flew up more than ten meters high, and even wet the clothes of the surrounding people, and then the Enterprise stayed firmly in the water.

For example, if there is a problem with the design, such as insufficient buoyancy in the reserve, then after launching, it will sink directly into the water, and if the lower plate is unstable, then serious rollover when entering the water may lead to the capsizing of the ship, which will cause accidents.

The launching of the Iraqi ship went smoothly, the flashing lights kept flashing, and the shutter of the reporters was pressed vigorously, and today can be said to be a day of celebration for the whole of Iraq. It is also a new stage in the development of the Iraqi state, from a country that even needs to import cars, to a country that can produce its own warships! This is just the beginning!

But on the other side of the ocean, there's a different atmosphere.
