At the end of 1984, it was a turbulent time, not militarily, politically, but economically, in the black sè gold that is indispensable for the development of human civilization. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ≦≧

Just before the arrival of the new year, I had already seen that the high oil prices could fall, but I didn't expect that it was just the moon in the water, and the flowers in the mirror. The exports of several major oil-producing countries have been affected by various unpredictable influences, and as a result, oil prices have only been low for a day or two, and they have begun to continue to rise, and there is no end in sight.

The price of oil has risen to 70 dollars a barrel! Many factories around the world have fallen into a state of shutdown, and the factory is losing money anyway, so it is better to take an annual leave early.

At this moment, Iraq in the Middle East, a country that has become very famous this year, once again happened to attract the attention of the world.

In the past, Iraq, Arabia, and all kinds of conflicts could only be a topic of conversation after tea and dinner for the people of other countries, and the number of casualties was only a number.

But now, it's completely different, Iraq's move will affect the whole world, because Iraq has announced that it will increase oil production!

This time it was not thunder and rain, but it was not the last time when production was increased by 100,000 barrels, but this time on the day Iraq announced it, it increased production by 1 million barrels. ≦≧Moreover, Iraq announced that it would stabilize its production increase at around 3 million barrels at the beginning of next year, that is, in a dozen days.

On the same day, the price in the international oil futures market stabilized at $70 and did not continue to rise, which was a good start.

People who have just bought futures beat their chests and feet, they were originally buying at a high level. Right now. They want to sell, and there are no buyers.

Just one day later, in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. At a new OPEC meeting organized by Saudi Arabia, the proposal of the OPEC Secretary-General, Iraq, was adopted. OPEC members need to increase oil production and reduce oil prices, otherwise the world economy will collapse.

At the same time, the Saudi side also said that its oil equipment will be repaired as soon as possible and oil exports will be resumed. ≦≧

It's like sending charcoal in the snow, after a series of measures. Oil prices have finally fallen.

What the United States is looking forward to most is the decline in oil prices, so. Just after Iraq paid the deposit. The United States took the lead in delivering the Sparrow missiles in its warehouses to the Iraqi Air Force. Now that the Sparrow missiles have been developed to the new AIM-7M, these stocks of the AIM-7-E2 model, which can be equipped with the Iraqi Air Force and also earn a lot of income by the way.

Qusay's face bloomed at the airfield when he watched the American planes fly to Baghdad and unload these things, so that the temporary shortage of ammunition for the Iraqi Air Force would be solved, and it would be time for the Iraqi Air Force to produce its own missiles. The arrival of the next batch of Maverick missiles and Paveway laser-guided bombs will increase their own ability to strike at the ground, and if the Yankees later find out that the bombs they produced are falling from their heads, I really don't know how they should feel.

It is really very useful to use oil as a weapon to achieve its own goals, and now Iraq has not only solved the problem of funding, but also solved the problem of insufficient ammunition reserves, and now, Iraq is left to continue to use oil weapons to fight the British!

In his spare time, Qusay came to Basra, which is already an important industrial city, in particular, there is the largest iron-making plant in Iraq, and at the beginning of the year, the steel plant updated its equipment, which can produce the smelting equipment of special wear-resistant metals in the production of heavy trucks introduced by Iraq, and the transmission shafts and gears of heavy trucks need to withstand a lot of torque. ≦≧

In addition to these, Iraq has also updated a new set of equipment here so that it can produce the marine steel needed by the shipyard. After a year of construction, Iraq's shipyard has begun to take shape, and next year, it will be able to start construction, and when the time comes, this shipyard will not only build several Iraqi missile boats, but will also gradually have the ability to build civilian ships.

In these projects, the people brought in from the big countries in the East have played a very good role, they are the mainstay of the factory, they have the technology, the drive, and the willingness to endure hardships, just enough to make up for the extreme shortage of Iraqi talents.

Moreover, Iraq has established a new metal research institute in the city of Basra to study the various metals needed by Iraq, which, of course, is limited to various factors, and is now mainly used to test the qualifications of the various alloys smelted in the steel mills. ≦≧

This metal research institute brings together almost all the talents of Iraq in this field, including professors who have returned from abroad, graduate students from Iraq, and experts invited from the big countries of the East. The head of the institute was a well-known Iraqi metallurgist, Jamil. (I checked it for a long time, but I didn't find the full name, a pity, you can tell me if you know.) ）

The Institute of Metals, in turn, is divided into two research institutes, one for civilian and one for military projects.

The civilian research institute is very close to the steel mill, but the other research institute is in another suburb of the city, far from here.

Moreover, the guards there are very tight, especially recently, and there are intelligence officers from the Messiah Bureau who are monitoring the surroundings.

Qusay's convoy, without entering the city of Basra, went around to the Military Research Institute of the Institute of Metals.

When Qusay's convoy arrived, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun in the west stretched the shadows of their group very long. ≦≧

"The President is welcome to come and inspect him." Jameel was already waiting outside.

With a figure of 1.8 meters, Jamil stands out even in the crowd in Europe, and here, he is even taller than Qusay, who is only 1.7 meters tall, he wears a pair of glasses, and he is a little Sven.

"Professor, it's hard work, I'm just here to see, how are we doing?" Qusay was very eager.

Of course, Qusay was very anxious, because the information that had taken countless people's efforts, one of the agents was still imprisoned in the United Kingdom, the Chowbham 2 armor, was all put here, and Iraq needed its own efforts to try out the main armor of its future main battle tank.

The agent was still trying his best to ask the British for it, and, with Qusay's subsequent oil production increase, he believed that he would let the British obediently send them back. And this information must bear fruit!

Although Iraq has more and more scientific research talents, it is absolutely not qualified to study the main armor of tanks, and Iraq still has a long way to go.

However, now it is only a matter of converting the obtained information into actual products, so it is much less difficult. Although it is much smaller, it is also a difficult problem for Iraqis. And this difficulty must be overcome by the Iraqis themselves.

Qusay had thought about handing it over to the Soviet personnel he had hired to follow Kartsev, several of whom specialized in composite armor. But, in the end, he still denied his idea. The main armor, which is the core secret of the tank, is extremely secret from all countries, and even Iraq has spent a lot of money to introduce a full set of T-72 production lines, and the main armor is still imported from the Soviet Union.

If the Soviets had seen their own information, who knew if they would have secretly returned to the Soviet Union? Qusay didn't want to make wedding clothes for someone else.

Fortunately, the information obtained, not only the design information of the Chobham 2 armor, but also the metalworking process, which simply made Jamil, who was in charge, overjoyed, with the processing technology, they only needed to paint the gourd according to the scoop.

So, after getting the technical information, Jamil immediately led his most outstanding personnel to start tackling the problem.

It's just that the specific processing process is also extremely troublesome, and they have just started now, and President Qusay has come, which shows that President Qusay attaches great importance to this project.

Leads Qusay into the conference room, where Jameel gives him a debriefing.

"We are now studying the data, and we need to recalculate all the data on the data, and verify all the contents of the data, so that we can digest and absorb the data." Jamil said.

Kusai nodded: "Yes, it should be like this, our steps must be steady, and we must study these materials thoroughly." ”

"Now, according to the processing technology, we are preparing to start trial production, although we have not officially targeted, but we expect that we should be able to achieve those protection data, this armor, to exceed the main armor of the T-72 main battle tank we are equipped with, and even more than the main armor of any tank in service in the world." Jameel is very confident.

At this time, the depleted uranium armor of the United States was still under development, so the Chopper 2 armor and its protective capabilities were absolutely first-class.

"Hopefully, we can meet our needs, so that we have an advanced armor, and our chief designer has already begun to design our next generation of main battle tanks, which need to use our own armor." "Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and the scientific and technological workers who are struggling on the front line of science and technology are outstanding talents who have changed the world, and I hope that everyone will make persistent efforts to realize that our self-produced main armor can be put into production and use as soon as possible, which is related to the lives of our army brothers," said Qusay. ”

Qusay's speech was both an encouragement and a urge, and those present were deeply encouraged, and their research was something that President Qusay attached great importance to, and they needed to produce this advanced armor to repay President Qusay!
