Chapter 611 Arms Sales to Iraq

"Yes, our Hussein-type sounding rocket." Saddam said: "The guidance system of our sounding rocket is very primitive, and I hope that Pakistan can improve it with advanced electronic technology." ”

"Okay." "We can make improvements for you, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, our improvements must be made in secret, so that other countries, especially the United States, do not know about it," Mhammad said. ”

"Of course." Saddam Hussein replied: "For the sake of secrecy, I hope that your country can send technical personnel to our Iraq to make improvements, and all kinds of expenses will be paid by our Iraqi side." ”

Although Iraq has long since become poor after the Iran-Iraq war, Iraq is still an important oil exporter in the Gulf, and as long as it can extract crude oil, it will have new income, and Saddam Hussein spared no effort in the military, especially ballistic missiles!

If the guidance system of the Hussein-type missile is improved and the accuracy is obtained within 50 meters, it will be a big killer feature!

"We now have a hundred Hussein missiles in our country, and we hope that they can be improved as soon as possible." Saddam said: "Hopefully we will be able to sign this improvement agreement." ”

At Saddam's insistence, the two sides signed an agreement on the same day, at a cost of $50,000 for each missile to be improved, for a total of $5 million in contracts, and that Pakistani technicians who went to work in Iraq would receive an additional remuneration.

In fact, the unit price of the Scud missile is only $150,000 now, and the cost of improving it is $50,000, which is already quite a lot, but now electronic technology is very expensive, and ballistic missiles only have a high enough accuracy to hit. in order to be able to compensate for the lack of a nuclear warhead.

After negotiating this contract, Saddam Hussein was very satisfied, and he was quite appreciative of Pakistan's defense industry, and the next day, he visited Pakistan's tank factory. Seeing Pakistan's latest main battle tank, those advanced tanks with welded turrets, Saddam continued: "I don't know how this tank performs compared to our T-72 tank. ”

Now, the most advanced tank equipped by the Iraqi army, the T-72, is all equipped in the Republican Guard in Iraq and is the sharp knife of the Iraqi armed forces.

But. The performance of this tank is not advanced, originally, the T-72 tank is a simplified model of the Soviets, and after being exported to Iraq, it is the monkey version of the monkey version, it is said that between the two layers of armor, where the composite armor was originally installed, it was all sand. Such a tank is okay in a duel with the Iranian chieftain tank. Fighting against the Americans' M1 tanks, there is only a share of beatings.

And the Pakistani tank, which was different, had the overall design of the Leopard tank, again with a low turret and a powerful engine. The fire control system is advanced, the armor is a high secret of Pakistan, and the overall ability far exceeds that of the T-72 tank, which can confront the M1 tank head-on!

Should we export advanced armor to Iraq? In his mind, after just a little comparison, Mhammad had already made a decision: the Iraqi army must be made stronger!

The reason is simple. According to Saddam's urine nature, after the Iran-Iraq war was over, he wanted to repay his debts, and the invasion of Kuwait would not only be able to rely on Kuwait's huge loans, but also be able to take all the wealth of Kuwait for himself, so the Gulf War was almost indispensable.

Mhammad is not a saint, and although he can predict what is happening in the Middle East, he cannot prevent it, and since he cannot stop it, he must try to push it in a direction that is beneficial to him.

When Iraq invades Kuwait, even with the entire Middle East, it will also turn against the entire Western world, and the United States will quickly make a decision to send troops to the Middle East to help Kuwait restore its regime!

The war in history was a battle to restore the self-confidence of the United States, and all kinds of high-tech weapons of the United States appeared on the scene, so that Iraq had no power to fight back, and soon drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait's territory, moreover, the Americans began to be full of confidence in their own combat effectiveness, and the haze of the Vietnam War was all gone, and the Americans began to point fingers and interfere in the internal affairs of other countries around the world, which was a very bad start! Especially after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States became a unipolar power, which was very detrimental to Pakistan. Now Pakistan has a vague hegemony in South Asia and good relations with China, and when the Soviet Union collapses, the Americans will have to find new enemies to use as an excuse to continue to maintain their huge military spending and maintain their globally deployed troops.

When the time comes, the United States will definitely balance China and Pakistan, and Pakistan's life will be even more difficult, which Mhammad absolutely does not want to see.

So, Pakistan should help Iraq and turn the Gulf War into a bloody war for the Americans, so that they can continue the defeat of the Vietnam War!

It's best to let the Americans suffer trauma in this war, so that the Americans will not be so proud in future generations! And if we want to do that, we have to make Iraq stronger.

And in war, the way to die the most is, of course, to fight on the ground! Exporting to Iraq some main battle tanks that can defeat M1 tanks is also beneficial to Pakistan.

And later, in the battle, the Americans found this tank difficult to deal with, and they would not blame Pakistan for anything. Because now, Saddam Hussein is still a hero in the Western world, and as for the devil, it is Khomeini.

It was only when Saddam Hussein made a move against Kuwait that the United States began to vilify Saddam.

Thinking of this, Mhammad said: "Of course you can, our tank, as well as models specially improved for desert areas, are exported to Iraq, which are very suitable for the terrain of Iraq, how many do you need?" ”

"Two hundred." Saddam Hussein said: "We need to order 200 vehicles first, and then we will continue to order them, and the total number may remain at about 500 vehicles." ”

"Our ex-factory price for each car is three million dollars, including all kinds of ammunition, four million dollars per car, can you accept it?" Mhammad said.

Four million dollars! Although ammunition is included, this price is not cheap, you must know that the 69 tanks ordered by Iraq from Huaxia are only a few hundred thousand dollars each.

"Our main battle tank with a 1500 hp engine." Mhammad said: "The maneuverability is excellent, the fire control system can support shooting on the move, the shooting accuracy of the dynamic is as high as 80 percent, and the 120 mm high-power gun can ensure the first hit at a distance of two thousand meters, these are the most advanced technologies, and the future war is not an era of winning by numbers." ”

"The price is not high, and we can fully accept it." Saddam said.

"In addition to the main battle tank, your wheeled infantry fighting vehicle is a weapon that should be equipped in large quantities." "You have a lot of desert areas, ordinary cars are not adapted to the harsh environment of desert areas, the army should develop to mechanization, a large number of wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, so that the army has a more rapid response capability, especially equipped with anti-tank missiles wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, our own development of 8 * 8 series wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, is very suitable for your needs, moreover, the Red Arrow-8 anti-tank missiles equipped on it, can penetrate the armor of any kind of main battle tank in the West."

Red Arrow-8 is an excellent anti-tank missile, Pakistan has introduced a full set of production lines for production, but also installed on a variety of vehicles, such as wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, there is a special anti-tank missile launcher, in the desert area, elusive, behind the dunes to fight tanks, a dozen accurate!

Now all this equipment is sold to Iraq! When the time comes, the Americans will be in big trouble.

"Yes, we have to equip wheeled infantry fighting vehicles." Saddam Hussein said: "The number of such infantry fighting vehicles should be large, at least a thousand!" ”

Wheeled infantry fighting vehicles are cheap to build and expensive to use, and after negotiations, the two sides signed a contract for 1,000 units at a price of $500,000 each, which Pakistan will gradually deliver over the next five years.

"President Hammad, we have gained a lot from this visit to Pakistan." Before returning home, Saddam Hussein said to Mahmad: "The friendship between Iraq and Pakistan will last forever." ”

"Mr. President Saddam, our beliefs are the same, and you are a hero of our world in the past 10 years, when Iraq has waged an arduous struggle against Iran in order to counter its export revolution." "No matter what happens in the future, we in Pakistan will stand firmly on the same front with your country," Mhammad said. ”

"Whatever happened?" Saddam's eyes lit up: "President Muhammad? ”

"Yes." "Whatever happens," Mhammad said. ”

If Mahmad directly said, "Brother Saddam, go on, my brother will give you moral support in the back and dig a good pit for the Americans," then Saddam Hussein will definitely be aware of it, how do you know that I am going to invade Kuwait?

Arms dealers are shameful, and Mhammad must support Saddam Hussein for the continued healthy development of the country's military-industrial complex, and in Mhammad's mind, a series of plans have begun to brew.

Pakistan needs to rise, and the United States should fall! Now, history has entered a turning point, and how to grasp it depends on how we can grasp the pulse of the times and promote the development of history in the direction that is favorable to Pakistan. (To be continued......)
