Between nations, there are only eternal interests. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 "Now, international oil prices are so low, except for oil exporters, other countries are very welcome, especially the United States, the United States does not want oil prices to climb at all, for them, the lower the oil price, the lower their cost of living."≦ Moreover, the United States has vigorously invested in the arms race with the Soviet Union, and the United States' national financial strength has now reached a low point, and now, the United States' fiscal deficit regularly reaches hundreds of billions of dollars, so the United States will not speak out at all. ”

Hearing Qusay's words, Prince Sultan smiled: "That is to say, no matter how Britain cries and shouts for Reagan, Reagan will not let go of his mouth to put pressure on us." ”

"That's right! Now that the price of oil has fallen to 25 yuan a barrel, I estimate that the British will come and put pressure on our oil-producing countries directly after the British are unable to get promises from the United States. Cusai continued.

British pressure? Now, when they look at the British, they no longer look up, but despise them. Since the British embezzled the advance payment of the Sky Flash, Prince Sultan felt that the British were not so easy to believe, and if it weren't for the Tornado fighters, they had already placed a deposit, I am afraid that the contract would have been canceled long ago.

"So, what we have to do now is—" Prince Sultan looked at Qusay, and before he could finish his words, Qusai took over the conversation again.

"Continue to keep down the price of oil, the price of oil is as low as 15 dollars, the attitude of the British, it is useless for Margaret Thatcher to cry and beg us, we want to let the oil price drop to less than ten dollars, we want the British, for every barrel of crude oil exported, they have to pay a few dollars, but the British still have to bite the bullet, continue to produce and export oil, continue to lose money." Qusay said.

"How is that possible. Oil prices are low, they can reduce production. Prince Sultan said.

"We can cut production, but they can't, because they're the British Empire." Qusay said.

Prince Sultan looked at Qusay in disbelief, expecting Qusay to continue.

However, Qusay didn't go on, although he knew why. But. It should be more interesting to leave it to Prince Sultan to guess. ≦≧

"By doing so, we can deal a blow to the relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom. Moreover, if the British want us to reduce production and raise prices, they must agree to our conditions. Qusay said.

"On what terms?" "We're going to buy shares in BP. In particular, they hold a part of the equity in the overseas oil fields in Canada and even the United States, and we want to let the UK open up our capital restrictions, so that our funds can flow into the UK, and we want to sell their overseas businesses to us in the case of debt. Qusay said. The agent on his side is coming back with a little bit, and this purpose is the main one.

In later generations, BP is one of the top five of the world's top 500 companies, and Kusai definitely doesn't want to see BP so powerful, so. Take this opportunity to cut off the tentacles of BP!

Listening to Qusay's words, Prince Sultan was shocked again, this Qusai is simply a devil. No, the gods of the Arab world. "Your Royal Highness. The tank factory we are going to is coming soon. Qusay said.

This time, Iraq's T-72 tank factory, the first batch of 50 tanks manufactured for the Saudi Army, has been produced, and the Saudi Army can receive it with a tank battalion, but Prince Sultan, who is in charge of national defense, learned about it and came to Baghdad uninvited.

Fortunately, the climate in the Middle East is already dry, and there has been no wind recently, and these freshly built tanks are neatly arranged, so new that you can see that the paint has not dried yet.

"Your Excellency the President, Your Royal Highness, these tanks that we exported to Saudi Arabia are modified according to the plan proposed by His Royal Highness the Prince last time." "We added a high-power air conditioner, the air conditioner was imported from Germany, and after experiments, it was completely possible to keep it within 20 degrees in the car in a desert area of more than 40 degrees, but we did not install a refrigerator, but set up a fixed position that can be used to place drinks at the location of an air conditioning outlet, so that as long as the air conditioner is turned on, these drinks are cold, and, in order to increase comfort, we have designed a new type of seat, which can reduce bumps during driving." ”

Because the internal space of the T-72 tank is originally small, so, after Kartsev's repeated design, it still cannot be integrated into the refrigerator, so it has to be abandoned, and when the air conditioner is started, the power of the engine will be consumed, resulting in a decrease in mobility, but because the new 6TD engine is used, which exceeds the original T-72 tank engine by more than 200 horsepower, the mobility is slightly higher than the original T-72, but the ammunition is reduced by two storage positions. ≦≧

Hearing this, Prince Sultan couldn't help nodding, these tanks are really suitable for Saudi improvement, and he was very interested in taking off his coat and getting into the tank, regardless of the weather of only a few degrees Celsius.

When Prince Sultan entered, Qusai asked: "Why can't you see the old comrade Kartsev?" ”

"He's leading almost all of our scientists in the development of a new main battle tank, so there's no time to meet you." Alad said.? Only then did Qusay remember that the last time he looked at the reports that had been pressed for a long time, one of them was about the pre-research of the new tank of the tank factory, and applied for a million dollars in research and development funds, because the development of the tank is a project that takes a long time, so Qusay didn't care too much, and always thought that these were still on the design drawings, so after happily allocating the funds, Qusay put this matter in his mind, and now, hearing what Alad said, It seems that there has been a lot of progress in the development of new tanks?

"To what extent has the development of our new tank progressed?" Qusay asked.

"The design is well underway, and if the right one is right, a prototype could be produced by the end of this year." Alad said. "The main performance, we have already determined, the use of a 6TD engine modification, up to 1200 horsepower, the total weight of 45 tons, the main gun with the same 125 mm caliber high-pressure smoothbore gun, but the possible length changed to 48 times the caliber, the use of the same automatic loader as the T-72, the use of German fire control system, and their own improvements."

When Qusay heard this, he was overjoyed, and with the Chobham armor already in place, it seemed that the era of Iraq's fully autonomous main battle tanks was coming.

As he spoke, Prince Sultan showed his big face and said, "This tank is good, but I want to drive it myself and feel it." ”

Prince Sultan also wanted to have a good time. ≦≧

Looking at the excited prince, Qusay left him here for a test drive, and he himself used the excuse of inspecting the production line to meet Kartsev, an old comrade who had exerted his residual enthusiasm and seemed to have a second spring of life in Iraq.

Arriving at the newly established tank design bureau in the open space on the side of the tank factory, Kusai met Kartsev discussing design problems with many designers, including Iraqis, Soviets, and some people from the eastern powers.

When Kartsev was brought from the Soviet Union, he took with him some of the technicians from Nizhny Tagil, and when they came here, they found that the salary was much higher than that of the original design bureau, so they worked very hard, and Iraq's own technicians were gradually growing. And those familiar faces of the East are the talents that Iraq recruited from many of the arms factories of the Eastern powers when they switched to production due to the reduction of armaments.

When Qusay came in, Kartsev stopped explaining and greeted Qusay.

Qusay motioned for him to continue without disrupting his normal work.

The other technicians have their backs to Qusay, they are all studying very carefully, and now, the overall plan is gradually being determined, and it must be cautious, otherwise, in the later stage, once there is a problem, it will be reversed, which will delay the progress and waste money.

Kusai saw the big picture that Kartsev was drawing, it was a tank design drawing, and when he saw the round cast turret on it, he felt a little dissatisfied, Kartsev's design thinking was still stuck in the traditional Soviet style, and the future development direction should be a welded turret. It would be nice if Western designers could join in and combine the advantages of the East and the West.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a voice say: "I think that on our tanks, we can add an active laser jamming and even suppression system, so that when the opponent uses the laser rangefinder, they can destroy their aiming at us." - This section has been updated—[email protected]/* */[email protected]/*
