Seeing off Prince Sultan, Qusay returned to the Palace of the Republic, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, another busy day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info≦≧

However, when Cusay was about to go home from work, his plan was interrupted by the secretary's words.

"Your Excellency the President, the British Chargé d'Affaires in Iraq and the British Secretary of State for Energy have requested to see you."

Because of the expulsion of the other side's ambassador, the largest British official in Iraq was the chargé d'affaires, and the relationship between the two countries fell by one level.

The British energy secretary actually came to Iraq when Qusay sent Prince Sultan's plane away, and the Iraqi side did not send anyone to greet him, on the one hand, because the other party came suddenly, and on the other hand, the responsible agency believed that the current relationship between the two sides was no longer necessary to send officials of the same level to greet him so amicably.

And the other party came in a hurry, and as soon as he got off the plane, he came to the Palace of the Republic to ask to see Qusay.

"How much has the price of oil fallen now?" Qusay asked. ≦≧

"The price an hour ago was nineteen dollars a barrel." The secretary said.

It seems that the British are in a hurry, but the people who hold on to themselves still want to see themselves during non-working hours?

"It's off work today, let them come back tomorrow." Qusay said.

This sentence made the secretary feel very happy, but the secretary continued: "Tomorrow is Saturday." ”

"Then let them come back next Monday." "Do you have any plans for my trip next Monday?" ”

"Next Monday, you need to go to Saddam Hussein Port to inspect the two Hedden-class frigates that we ordered from Italy, and we are about to return to our naval base east of Saddam Hussein, and after receiving the warships, you will also need to go to the shipyard on the west side of Saddam Hussein, where the first phase of construction has been completed, and the construction of the first ship is about to begin." The secretary said.

"Our arrangements can't be changed like this. ≦≧ let them meet with them on Tuesday, and I'll take half an hour to meet with them. Qusay said.

To his friends, Qusay is very polite, even if he disrupts all the schedule, he must take care of his friends, such as the visit of Prince Sultan this time. However, treat those countries that are not friendly. For example, the United Kingdom. Qusay will not be so polite, otherwise, it will only make the other party more arrogant. Let's release his pigeons first.

Actually, as a national leader, Qusay is very busy. There is no such thing as a job or a rest, but this is just a rhetoric to make the British stay a few more days, or at least a few more days to the hotels in Baghdad. I heard that the British are very relaxed, and the Secretary of State for Energy does not stay at home when he has nothing to do, and likes to go to the Middle East to see the scenery.

When the request was denied, Webb was a little angry: "I, as the British energy secretary. Every day, I have come to meet with the president of your country with sincerity, and I have important matters to discuss, but you have to wait until next Tuesday to meet you? ”

"Our President Qusay is even more reasonable. Originally, I didn't have time until next Friday, and this is because I think you came all the way from the UK, so you took the time to meet you, or you should go back to the UK first. ≦≧ wait until Tuesday to come back? The secretary replied neither softly nor firmly, which made Weber even more depressed.

The British chargé d'affaires was very knowledgeable. With the Minister of Energy, he left the Palace of the Republic, these days, it is the time for him to have a relationship with this powerful person, and it is much better to have a good relationship in the past few days and get himself back to China. Everyone here seems to be hostile to the British, as if the British are worse than the Jews.

"Dual-axis linkage, forward four." Abdur shouted loudly from the bridge.

Out of the damned Gulf of Aden, the sea is finally wide, blowing the cháo wet sea breeze from the sea, and the young Iraqi navy, riding the wind and waves, returns to the heart like an arrow....

It's not on the main route, so there's less chance of encountering cargo ships, and they can take advantage of the rush compared to the busy Mediterranean, the narrow Suez Canal and the Red Sea.

Moreover, they also have a good reason, that is, there is a delay in the front, and they must catch up and move forward at full speed, which is a must.

Hearing the captain's order, the engineer immediately took action and began to activate the two LM2500 gas turbines with a power of 55,000 horsepower in the main engine room, as if it was the sound of a jet plane taking off, and the vibration and noise became even louder. ≦≧

Originally, when cruising at economic speed just now, two GMA230-20M diesel engines with a power of 7900 horsepower arranged in the rear auxiliary engine compartment were used, and next to them, there were also 2 diesel generator sets.

With the start of the gas turbine, the four main engines are synchronized by means of a special shaft, and the two four-bladed controllable pitch propellers are propelled by means of reduction gears.

The speed of the battleship, which is more than 2,000 tons, began to increase, although it did not have the feeling of pushing back when the car accelerated, and it also made all the Iraqi naval personnel on the warship excited, because the behemoth under their feet will reach the design speed of this ship, thirty-five knots!

In order to propel this huge warship, diesel engines and gas turbines are working at full strength.

This form of power is the CODOG method (diesel-fired combined power) that has just begun to become popular, and it is also an advanced driving method until later generations, except for the nuclear-powered one, of course. ≦≧

In marine engines, there have always been steam turbines, diesel engines, and gas turbines The main power mode, steam turbine technology is backward, especially if you want to start the boiler before you want to preheat the boiler, it is said that it should be eliminated long ago, but the steam turbine technology is mature, and it can burn low-quality heavy oil, and the cost is low, so there are still many applications (such as the modern destroyer that we are familiar with in later generations, it makes everyone surprised that the steam turbine is used, and someone needs to burn the boiler!). ）。 Therefore, the latter two are gradually used for marine power.

In these two, the diesel engine has a relatively low power density, low speed, high vibration and noise at high speed, and the volume is also large, but the fuel consumption is low, and the intake and exhaust design is simple. The gas turbine is just the opposite, small in size, light in weight and large in power, but the fuel consumption is relatively high, especially at low speed, the efficiency is very low, and there are strict requirements for the intake and exhaust.

In order to combine the advantages of the two to a certain extent, under the condition of satisfying the use of power, there is a situation of diesel fuel alternation and diesel fuel combined power. Alternately, the diesel engine is responsible for the power of the warship at low speed, and the high-power gas turbine must be started at high speed, and the diesel engine is not involved in the driving work at this time. The diesel engine is also used when the joint is sailing at low speed, and the gas turbine is added at high speed, and the diesel engine continues to work.

Due to early technical limitations, it was difficult for a low-speed diesel engine to work with a high-speed gas turbine on the same drive shaft, so there was a helplessness to alternate drive. Now the technical problems are basically solved, and the joint power mode is widely used.

Moreover, this kind of ship uses the American-made LM2500 gas turbine, which is an excellent marine engine and is used on a variety of warships in many countries. (For example, China's Harbin, this gas turbine was unanimously praised by naval officers and sailors, but unfortunately the Yankees did not sell it later.) ）

Abdur did this, and the Italians who came with the ship were reluctant: "Captain, the crew is not yet fully proficient in the ship's cāo ability, and you have not reached a complete level of familiarity with this warship, in order to avoid danger, please reduce the speed." ”

Unlike the Germans, when the Germans returned home with the R-1700 submarine, they trained the people on board as if they were going to hell, and treated them as if they were trained in the war of World War II, because the Germans were sea wolves. But the Italians were different, the Italians were more conservative, so they only wanted to sail the warships back to Iraq in peace, and when the time came, slowly train their naval personnel, and gradually master the ship's cāo capabilities.

After all, none of the largest surface ships of the Iraqi Navy before exceeded 500 tons, but now they are nearly 3,000 tons! The Italian personnel were very careful.

Driving a warship is different from driving a car, the car stops when it presses the brakes, while the warship does not have brakes, at most it is a two-axis reversal, and it takes a long distance to stop.

If you don't do it properly, it's tragic to hit other ships.

Abdur replied: "Our president is waiting for us to return home, but because of the delay ahead, we have to speed up so that we can return to Port Saddam Hussein at the scheduled time to be inspected by our president." The shipping lanes here are all fully aware of us, and we will definitely do it safely. ”

Taking out the president as a shield, the Italians lost their temper, and then he heard these voices that had to be fiddled with as if a child had got a new toy: "Turn on the SPS-774 air-to-sea search radar and scan the surrounding sea and airspace." ”

"To be on the safe side, we had to turn on the radar and search." Abdul and the Italians said.

Who knows, as soon as Abdur finished saying this, a voice came from the radar room: "Report, there is a suspicious plane in the sky." ”

"Turn on the SPG-70 fire control radar, activate a Pit Viper (Aspide) ship-to-air missile seeker, and prepare for combat at the first level." Abdur said in a calm tone.

Now, on the missile launch frame, it is just a training bomb, and it is also a level of combat readiness, and the Italian face is very ugly: "Captain Abdur, I repeat again, you are not conducting exercises or training now, it is just an ordinary voyage for the warship to return home smoothly, these items need to be trained slowly!" ”
