For the great powers of the East, this is a special. Because, 35 years ago, a great figure announced from the tower of that city symbolizing power: The Chinese people have stood up from now on! This ancient nation has since turned a new page.

Now, in this special year of the year, it is in this special place that a new ** is ushered in again.

At this time, the city tower and the square are colorful and magnificent, and the viewing platform and the square are crowded with people.

Tens of thousands of PLA soldiers, dressed in crisp uniforms, have been waiting here for hours. They were waiting for the most solemn moment: the National Day parade.

In the majestic national anthem, the National Day military parade officially began. As the parade car slowly drove by, with the cordial words of the comrades who are good and the comrades have worked hard, the parade slowly kicked off.

After the infantry platoon walked in unison, the chariot platoon appeared. ≦≧ the military attaches of various countries on the tower of the ** city are also pointing, tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored vehicles, howitzers, smoothbore guns, howitzers, rocket artillery, self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, command vehicles...

"Flying Fish, China's Flying Fish!" Suddenly, a military attache saw a square team coming over, and the missile on it was no longer a big man like a silkworm baby, but a missile with the same shape as the French Exocet missile, and couldn't help but exclaim, when did the big country in the East also be equipped with this kind of weapon?

However, at this time, the announcer's words made him lose face among his accomplices.

"What we are seeing now is the efforts of our scientific researchers. China's first land-attack cruise missile was successfully developed. Its appearance has given China an additional weapon that can strike at the enemy's important land targets outside the enemy's air defense zone in its air and ground strikes. ”

The layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway, and the military attaches of various countries immediately think that this air-to-ground missile is in the strait. ≦≧ can completely attack military installations on the treasure island in the East China Sea outside the center line of the strait. In the recent war in the Middle East, the attack of cruise missiles showed great power. Now, this missile. Does it have the same power?

They don't know that this missile is a cruise missile jointly developed by Iraq and the eastern powers on the basis of the C801. In Iraq, it was numbered Redbird I. and Redbird II, while in the eastern powers the numbers are Blu-ray I and Blu-ray II. The same corresponds to the use of solid rocket engines and the use of small turbojet engines. However, the Eastern powers do not have the extra money to import advanced navigation systems from the West, and they are reversely copying the inertial navigation systems supplied by Iraq, which has already been successful, but with a reduced degree of jing. The terrain matching system still uses the same Iraqi electronic equipment based on the civilian 286 chip.

Later, the huge surface-to-surface missile, as the final finale, finally appeared. This unit supports the backbone of the great powers in the East, and they are the Strategic Missile Forces! If you want to be able to stand up in this world, then you need to have enough confidence. ≦≧ is also its own missile nuclear weapons!

When the huge Dongfeng-5 missile, which was consigned in three sections, slowly drove over, it aroused the exclamation of almost all foreign military attachés, and this was the first time that China itself had displayed a long-range intercontinental missile in front of the world. This kind of missile, with a range of 10,000 kilometers, is enough to hit any country in the world!

The military parade scenes of the great powers of the East were broadcast to many countries around the world.

"Only when we achieve independent production and research and development of advanced weapons can we be called a real military power." Qusay said: "Advanced national defense, relying on buying is absolutely not possible. We in Iraq are now on a thorny path. He said this during an inspection of the Third Design Bureau of the Iraqi Military Vehicle Research located next to the production base of Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks in Kazimein, north of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.

After returning from Amman, Qusay began to deal with a large number of unhurried accumulated affairs in the Palace of the Republic, although Adnan took over them temporarily during his absence, but Qusay had to check them again for himself. ≦≧

When Qusay, in a dizzy state, opened the report of the newly established design bureau, his eyes immediately lit up. Iraq's first wheeled infantry fighting vehicle based on the Mercedes-Benz NG-80 series of off-road heavy trucks designed by the Third Design Bureau has now been built, and final tests are being prepared for subsequent appropriations.

Seeing this report, Kusai immediately became interested, and he temporarily decided to go to this design bureau to see how things were going.

When the introduction of Mercedes-Benz NG-80 series heavy trucks and efforts to achieve complete localization including the rear axle of the engine and gearbox, Cusai intended to develop a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle suitable for operations in the Middle East on this excellent chassis. This was also a very impressive proposal by the Mercedes-Benz company when it lobbied Iraq to buy a second line after the Steyr line.

At present, Iraq has achieved the ability to produce its own main battle tanks, but the infantry fighting vehicles that accompany the advance of the main battle tanks are still blank. ≦≧ Iraq is mainly equipped with two kinds of infantry fighting vehicles, the Russian-made BMP-1, which is advanced and expensive, and is only equipped with ace armored divisions, and the Type 63 of the Eastern powers, which is rough and thick-skinned, strong and durable, and cheap to build, but the Xing energy is not high, and both of these are tracked.

In accordance with the original agreement, after the introduction of the production line, the Iraqi zhèngfu next to the vehicle plant, a new design bureau was built, mainly from the Italian Otto? An Arab engineer from Melera, Feduen Sindy, who had been involved in the development of the Italian VCC-80 infantry fighting vehicle, and Iraq's own specialists, a dozen senior engineers sent by Mercedes-Benz Motors, worked on the infantry fighting vehicle.

Mercedes-Benz Automobile Company has always wanted to get involved in the development of wheeled infantry fighting vehicles again, but because the German zhèngfu did not have a project, and the headquarters did not have research and development funds, when it lobbied Iraq to buy NG-80 heavy trucks, it promised that if Iraq was willing to develop on the basis of this chassis, they were willing to provide technical support to Iraq, and the salaries of the experts sent were also paid by Mercedes-Benz Motor Company itself. You know, it is not easy to get their chassis technology thoroughly, in later generations, the eastern powers introduced Steyr technology, it took more than ten years, until the new century, those technologies were fully mastered. All kinds of heavy trucks flocked out and even began to be exported overseas.

And those German specialists, mainly help to use the existing civilian components, to improve and meet the design needs of the new chassis.

The difficulty of developing infantry fighting vehicles is relatively small, and there are mature off-road heavy trucks for reference, the difficulty is not very large, and the investment will not be particularly high, which is a research project in Iraq. However, it is definitely not on the chassis of off-road heavy trucks, welding some steel plate protection is finished, such is called an armored truck, not a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle.

6*6 or 8*8 off-road trucks, are front double or rear double axles close together, the front steering (and drive wheels) and the rear drive wheels are far apart, so that you can place fuel tanks, batteries and other peripherals in the middle. However, this is not the case with wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, which need to have equal wheelbases in the front and rear in order to give full play to the off-road advantages, so that the corresponding girders and suspension need to be redesigned. In this regard, specialists from Mercedes-Benz will play a big role in the design of the new chassis using proven universal components as much as possible.

The above hull, mainly led by Ferdouen, is very similar to the VCC-80 infantry fighting vehicle he participated in, although the chassis of the latter is tracked, they need to take into account the general and reasonable Xing, need to facilitate the ride and combat of a combat crew, can adapt to the weather in the Middle East, and can be modified into a variety of other vehicles on this basis, to develop a car family.

Now, in front of Cusay, it is such a powerful-looking armored combat vehicle.

Under the foot are eight large steel wire lined bulletproof tires, larger than ordinary off-road heavy trucks, four on each side, almost the side is blocked tightly, the shape of the body is front pointed rear, the front deck is sloping, the area is small, and the main thing is to reduce the resistance when floating on the water, the front has both bulletproof glass, as well as the top hatch and periscope, in low intensity and road maneuvering, you can open the armor cover in front of the bulletproof glass, drive like a truck, and after entering the war zone, use the periscope, Drive like a tank. The back is square, and a relatively large hatch is opened, which is convenient for the accompanying infantry to get on and off the tank at any time. On the sides of the rear, there are two propellers, which are convenient for sailing on the water. The top turret is low, with a 30 mm high-level dual-purpose cannon and a 12.7 mm machine gun, and a SEG anti-tank missile launch track in front.

In later generations, when Qusay was on duty, although the most common means of transportation was helicopters, and he often took infantry fighting vehicles, he felt that the infantry fighting vehicle in front of him was more powerful.

"President Qusay, you are very welcome to visit our Third Design Bureau, and what you see now is a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle with an 8*8 chassis from our design bureau, and in another workshop, there is also a 6*6 wheeled infantry fighting vehicle." Mr. Ferdouen, a middle-aged man in his forties, who was the chief designer of the car, said as he pushed the glasses on his nose.
