The 6TD engine is a six-cylinder 1000 horsepower tank engine developed by the Kharkov Engine Design Bureau of the Soviet Union in a period of five years from 1974 to 1979. It was a two-stroke, water-cooled, horizontally cylinder and opposing piston diesel engine that used turbocharging technology, an improvement on the 55TD diesel engine used on the T-5 tank. In 79, the T-6A tank with a 6TD engine successfully passed the tests, and experiments showed that it was greatly improved in terms of maneuverability. In October of that year, the 6TD engine was recommended for mass production. Due to the considerable similarities in the design of the 6TD engine and the 5TDF engine, it was relatively easy to establish a mass production line of the 6TD engine, which was very suitable in terms of technology and cost, so within a few years, the Soviet T-64 tanks were all upgraded to 6TD engines.

However, since the T-72 is a low-end tank, there are no plans to use the T-72 with this engine.

However, Zhang Feng was very interested in this kind of engine, because this kind of engine, after improvement, is very easy to reach 1200 horsepower, which is the standard power of the main battle tank in later generations.

With this kind of engine, driving the T-72 tank, it is a bit overkill, but Zhang Feng knows that the T-72 tank in his own hands must be modified, the weight rises, and the mobility surname will fall, so that the increase in horsepower will be very important, although there are many advanced tank power in this era, such as the German MTU, but the power of Western countries is too valuable, and it is also very squeamish, or the engine of Lao Maozi is more powerful.

Moreover, when Iraq develops the next generation of main battle tanks on its own, it will not be stuck in terms of power, and after the production line of this tank engine is introduced back, it is definitely very cost-effective for its own side.

Therefore, in this negotiation, we must be resolute, because, for Lao Maozi, it can be regarded as a relatively advanced driving force, will Lao Maozi sell?

The only good thing is that this kind of thing is not the main armor and tank guns that need to be kept secret, so there is still a lot of room for negotiation.

"Your Excellency Qusay, this engine is not yet mature, we have just tested it, and we are testing it." Nikolai began to play sloppy.

"Really?" Zhang Feng said: "Can I visit your country's armored forces?" I really want to see what the engine looks like inside the belly of the T-64 tank. ”

When Foreign Minister Goromiko saw it, he knew that this time he had leaked his mouth, and people knew everything, and how they could fool people.

Goromiko said: "Your Excellency Qusay, this kind of engine is definitely still very immature, we have always been very supportive of friendly Iraq, but this tank engine must not be qualified for export in the General Administration of Engineering, so I am very sorry..."

"Then we can wait until we can obtain the export qualification, and then we can introduce it together." Zhang Feng said.

As soon as he said this, it was equivalent to saying that this contract was probably going to be delayed, which made several Soviets present very dissatisfied.

The Soviet Union has always had the final say in exporting weapons, and this time it was a very generous treatment for Iraq, but I didn't expect that the other party would still put forward conditions endlessly, if it weren't for Secretary Gorbachev's personal explanation, and he was a celebrity next to General Secretary Andropov, they would not have been so polite.

At the top level of the Soviet Union, they are also very well-born, and everyone wants to get involved in Gorbachev's nepotism, and Gorbachev's last visit to Iraq also brought back a large order, which is a very remarkable achievement, and even the general secretary likes it very much, if it is messed up in their hands, it will be difficult to do.

In the end, the old man next to him, Kartsev, said: "Your Excellency Cusay, this kind of engine really does not have an export license, but we can report it to our superiors, maybe, it will be approved soon, you will live in Moscow for a few days, how about it?" ”

"Well, but the prestige of the Nizhny Tagil Design Bureau, which has long admired the great Soviet Republic, can you visit your design bureau in the next few days?" Zhang Feng asked.

Hearing this, Kartsev said: "No problem! "This is just the right way to advertise the products of their own design bureau, in addition to the T-72, there are other tracked vehicles.

In this meeting, Zhang Feng did not mention the purchase of mainframe computers, because he was not sure, under what pretext? What kind of people to find? It's all about skill.

After the talks, Zhang Feng returned to the place where the embassy had been prepared, and he did not choose the Moscow International Hotel, which was prepared by the Soviet side, but stayed in the embassy.

The KGB of the Soviet Union was pervasive, especially on his own turf, and Zhang Feng could know that no matter which hotel he stayed in, there would be countless bugs inside.

Therefore, he chose the embassy's own room, his reason, that is, Iraq is still during the war, and it needs to save money, and it costs money to live in those luxurious rooms.

I thought it was very safe, and I was checked by my own personnel, but when the interpreter Ajelina went out in person, she still found a bugging device that had been arranged in a hidden place.

It seems that the KGB still really gave face, and if it weren't for this agent who came out of the KGB, he really wouldn't have found out.

However, Zhang Feng also chose to remain silent and let the eavesdropping device stay here like that, so that the Soviet side would be more at ease.

Of course, when you speak, you have to pay more attention.

For example, now, Zhang Feng said with great feeling: "Ajelina, I really didn't expect you to speak Russian so well!" ”

Well, of course, this is a native language, but Ajelina's role is that of an AFP correspondent for the Middle East, who knows Arabic normally and is fluent in Russian, which is a science.

"As your translator, of course I have to know all kinds of languages, and I will translate for you wherever you go!" Ajelina's words were full of affection.

"What if it's an indigenous language in Africa?" Zhang Feng asked.

"Then I'm willing!"

"Then you will marry a woman who will be a chief in that kind of place!"

"You! …”

Listening to the flirting voice, the KGB agents in charge of the surveillance were finally relieved.

Putin was also in a good mood, and after hearing the conversation between the two translated by the monitors, it seemed that Sharapova's task was completed very well.

………… Southeastern Iran, Chakhbahar port.

This port, on the outer part of the Persian Gulf, borders the northern shore of the Arabian Sea.

Geographically, it is very far away from Tehran, and at this time, this port is not the big container port of later generations, but a small port with very limited transportation capacity.

Therefore, Cooper was very surprised why Iran chose such a port to trade.

Originally, he planned to fly the goods directly to Tehran, which was very convenient, and in the past, he did the same.

But this time, the Iranians categorically disagreed.

So, after transporting the goods from the United States to Pakistan by plane, Cowper transported the goods by ship to the port of Chakhbahar.

Tehran is very cautious and certainly cannot agree with Cooper's plan.

At present, the hijacked passenger plane is still staying on the runway, and if the American plane carrying the cargo also lands at Tehran airport, however, the plane is not full of cargo, but American special forces, then there will be a great threat to the hijacked passenger plane.

Now, the United States, under the coercion of Iran, has suffered such a big loss, who knows whether the other side is sincere or false? After careful research, Khomeini finally decided: let the trading place be here.

Let the other side transport the goods to this port by ship, check that there are no mistakes, and then use the Iranian Air Force's own transport planes to transport them back to Tehran, so that although it has been detoured, the danger is minimized, and this place is not on the Iran-Iraq front line, so it will not be disturbed.

They don't know that by doing this, they actually have another unexpected benefit: avoiding the surveillance of His Excellency Satan Qusai in Iraq!

Since Zhang Feng knew that the real background of the hijacking was Iran, Zhang Feng began to let the Messiah Bureau shift its attention here, because Zhang Feng, who had the pulse of history, knew that the only way for the United States to rescue the hostages was to exchange weapons, which was also Khomeini's wish.

If the United States supplies Iran with weapons, then, Iraq will suffer a big loss!

So, be sure to block the other party's transaction!

Zhang Feng also knew that in this incident, Israel would play a leading role, and the United States could not have direct contact with Khomeini, but it was conveyed through Israel, and those weapons and equipment were also transported to Israel first, and then transported by Israel. Therefore, the Messiah Bureau mobilized a large number of forces to conduct surveillance in these places.

However, he absolutely did not expect that Iran would be so cautious that it did not let the other side's planes enter its own airspace at all, but traveled thousands of miles and took the waterway!

No matter how wide the line of sight of the Messiah Bureau is, it will never go out of the Persian Gulf and run to the border with Pakistan to monitor the sea and ports.

The delivery included 24 much-needed Immortal Bird missiles for the Iranians, parts for F-14 fighter jets, 200 Tao anti-tank missiles, and a number of other weapons seized by the United States from the Bavilie dynasty.

With these goods, this hijacking incident will definitely be solved perfectly! Cowper thought.

Who knows, his idea is too simple, and this is just the beginning.

Khomeini's appetite is also very large, with the first time, there will be a second time, a third time.
