Chapter 628: Invitation to observe the exercise

"Saddam Port is an excellent water port, which is very suitable for ships to berth, and also suitable for ships to be launched after they are built, so the shipyard is built here, and the geographical location and climatic conditions are very suitable," Cheng Yu lifted the frame of his glasses and said: "Now, in Saddam Port, the central part is the main commercial port, the east is a military port, and on the west side, it is more appropriate to establish a shipyard." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info≦≧"

Cheng Yu said as he handed the drawings he had surveyed to Kusai's eyes.

Kusai glanced at it, and it had already marked the general distribution of the shipyard, such as the slipway, such as the gantry crane, such as the workshop, and the distribution of rails in the shipyard.

Looking at the drawings, Qusay seems to have seen that earth-shaking changes will take place here, all kinds of buildings will rise from the ground, and Iraq will build a large shipyard, which will start with the manufacture of a few small missile boats, to warships of several thousand tons, ships of tens of thousands of tons, and even finally, giant aircraft carriers!

It is a complex, slow process, but Iraq is firmly taking the first step in this direction!

"So, now that the survey is complete, our shipyard should be able to start construction immediately, right?" Qusay asked. ≦≧

"Yes, we can start when we have your approval for our report and report it back to the new shipyard for review." Cheng Yu said.

"Then please start as soon as possible." "Hopefully, by the end of the year, our shipyard will be able to start building our own ships," Qusay said. ”

End? Cheng Yu glanced up at Qusay: "Your Excellency Qusay, shipbuilding is not to build cars, nor to build airplanes, shipbuilding is different from theirs, that is, the volume is much larger than theirs, and this kind of large ship cannot achieve streamlined production." Even if we can rush to build the shipyard at the end of the year, you can't start manufacturing ships immediately, because many times shipbuilding is purely manual, and those welds are manually welded by workers. So, you want to have shipbuilding capacity and skilled shipbuilders as soon as possible. More important. ”

With a few words, Qusay suddenly realized that he would make such a big mistake: he forgot to start training boatmen at the same time!

Cheng Yu is right, many places in shipbuilding are purely manual labor. ≦≧ a good shipyard, skilled shipwrights, even more important!

"We will immediately organize a group of people to learn from the new shipyard." "We'll pay you for it," Qusay said. ”

"That's free, you provide us with labor for free, as long as you don't let us pay our salaries." That's all that is said and done. Cheng Yu smiled.

"I thought the sun was too violent and the wind was a bit strong in the Middle East. You won't laugh anymore. "The last time I went to France, I brought back a couple of bottles of sunscreen, and when I got back, I asked my secretary to bring them to you," Cusay said. ”

"I don't need all that bourgeois rotten." Cheng Yu said.

This cold sentence. It made Cusai regret what he had just said, and thought that this woman's temperament had changed. As a result, it is still like this, I can't speak, even if I reject people, I can't!

………

By the time Qusay began his inspection, Iraq's armored units participating in the exercise had already crossed the Hijara Desert in western Iraq and entered Saudi territory. ≦≧

At this time, some changes have taken place, on the road from Khuzestan Province to the Hijara Desert, Iraq's main battle tanks are all loaded on trailers and brought over, and the trailers are all Steyr 6*4 tractors, pulling the main battle tanks on the trailers behind, which is also a spectacular scene.

However, when they arrived in Saudi Arabia, the tank got off the trailer and drove directly into Saudi territory.

The T-72 tanks of one armored regiment and the Type 69 tanks of two regiments of the 60th Armored Division advanced into Saudi Arabia in battle sequence, and they drove their tanks majestically and vigorously in the Nefud desert, and they held back for a while in Khuzestan Province and never fought. ≦≧

Only the Saudi Arabian logistics supply vehicles that followed them, some of them couldn't parry, brother, step on the accelerator lightly, although Saudi Arabia is a big oil producer, it can't stand your fuel consumption, right?

After entering the territory of Saudi Arabia, in addition to the need to bring their own ammunition, the supply of food and oil is provided by the host Saudi Arabia, in Iraq, they use trailers, which can save four-fifths of the fuel, and those tanks are definitely oil tigers when they start! Now, provided by Saudi Arabia, they are naturally not afraid, because there has been no war to fight recently, they are already a little suffocated, a brave army, it is necessary to have a catharsis once in a while, such as now!

So, on the reconnaissance satellite of the United States, such a scene was discovered, in the yellow sand where smoke and dust were billowing and the sky was stirring, it could be seen that it was not a sandstorm, it was an army attacking! Judging by the course of the other side's actions, it is either Iraqi or Kuwaiti.

Kuwait's army was not so in high spirits, but it was the end of June, when the climate was hot, and it was a fool to drive a tank in the desert with a temperature of 60 degrees. ≦≧

While the Iraqi army was raging in the desert, the Kuwaiti armored battalion that was preparing to come to the exercise was also heading for the exercise area, their tanks were all loaded on trailers, and their personnel were sitting in luxury air-conditioned buses and heading northwest.

When it was time for the exercise, it was not too late to get into the tank, there was only a fan in the tank, and no matter how the wind was blown, it was not as cool as in the bus.

"Now, this exercise of Arab countries is entering the final stage of preparation." CIA Director Casey said: "This is the picture we have taken, Iraq's armored forces, are advancing towards the exercise area, they have advanced 400 kilometers in a combat sequence, day and night, which is simply unimaginable speed, the exercise has not even started, they want to use this kind of action, to show their power, to show their combat effectiveness." ”

Show combat effectiveness? Just this kind of desert madness? Weinberg said: "When it really starts, their attack in such a dense formation is simply looking for death, and our air force can kill them all." ”

"In any case, this is a very bad sign." Bush said: "We must now put pressure on the Arab countries to let them know that the exercises are okay, but if they make any special moves in the name of the exercises, such as the Lost warplanes entering Israeli airspace, then they will be punished." ”

If it were not for the influence of the Soviets, I am afraid that the United States would have begun to threaten various Arab countries with sanctions, but even the Soviet Union's Black Sea Fleet has come out, and the biggest threat to the United States is the Soviet Union, so they need to make a careful choice regarding the attitude of the Arab countries.

In doing so, Iraq is demonstrating its strength to the outside world and is a threat to Israel. Although the current situation in the Middle East is largely caused by Israel, if they had not conducted a nuclear test, or had it not been for the leaks of that damn Vanunu, there would not have been these things now. However, the United States has an important principle in its grasp. Although at the beginning, the United States exerted strong pressure on Israel in a vain attempt to force Israel to abandon its nuclear program, and now, it is preparing for a second inspection. However, this is a matter between them and has nothing to do with the outside world.

If other forces threaten Israel, then the United States will definitely protect Israel's interests, because Israel has always been an ally of the United States. At such a moment, Israel's interests are the interests of the United States, and what the United States values most is its interests.

Therefore, the attitude of the United States has now begun to change, to help Israel through this crisis, the United States still has to force Israel to abandon its nuclear program, but before that, to ensure that Israel will not be attacked by Arab countries or the Soviet Union!

"According to the report, our ambassador to Saudi Arabia was received by the Saudi defense minister, and I hope that our country can send a military attache to observe their exercise." While they were deliberating, the White House chief of staff urgently sent the news.

They want us to observe the exercise? President Reagan was somewhat surprised.

At this time, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the exercise of the Arab countries is aimed at Israel, and the Arabs actually want to invite the US military attache to observe their exercise?

"Did they invite people from other countries?" Bush asked.

"Allegedly, there were also British and French military attachés, as well as Chinese military attachés, however, the Soviet ones were not invited." George said.

This time, the actions of the Arab countries were very unusual, and everyone thought of it in their hearts.

The five permanent members of the Security Council, except for the Soviet Union, have all invited, I am afraid that they are more of an attitude, their exercise is just a bluff, the Arab countries, they do not dare to challenge Israel at all, nor do they dare to provoke the United States, in order to put pressure on Israel, they held exercises, but for fear of angering the United States, they invited personnel from various countries to observe.

"I think we're going to send a heavyweight team out there." Bush said.

Reagan's eyes lit up: "Yes, send our General William Taft to Saudi Arabia to observe this exercise." ”

William Taft is the Deputy Secretary of Defense of the United States.
