According to the practice of the Soviet Union, the export of weapons always wanted to attach some conditions, for example, the MiG-25 exported to Iraq went into a large number of Soviet advisers to exert influence in this way.

However, things like the export production line are different, especially since some of the T-72 tanks have already been exported to Iraq, so Iraq does not need Soviet advisers to guide them in the use of tanks, and on the production line, it definitely needs Soviet specialists to guide.

In this case, Zhang Feng proposed that hiring a designer from them is very reasonable from a logical point of view.

However, there are some problems, because if you just help them manage the production line, you don't need a person like a designer at all.

Zhang Feng naturally has his own intentions, now there are almost no talents in tank design in Iraq, the only thing that can be done is to introduce, from the Soviet Union, to introduce a person who understands the entire T-72 structure, and when he arrives in Iraq, after being won over, he can improve the T-72.

As for how to win over this person, Zhang Feng is very confident, because history will give him a great opportunity, and in a few years, he will win more people.

The introduction of the tank production line is only the first step, and the next step will be to build up the entire accompanying products on the introduction of this project, and on the basis of this project, it is necessary to train Iraq's own talents, and finally let Iraq itself have the ability to develop new tanks.

These Soviet designers were also tempted, because they knew that at home, there was only a fixed salary to be paid, and when they arrived in Iraq, not only could they get a salary at home, but Iraq would also give them an additional salary, which was higher than his basic salary. (In the later period, when the Soviet personnel responsible for maintaining the MiG-25 were ordered to return home, many were reluctant to leave, and some even stayed in Iraq altogether.) "I've been in the country for a long time, I haven't traveled abroad, and I would love to go to Iraq. Kartsev said.

Zhang Feng was happy in his heart, this old guy seems to be old-hearted!

"Thank you very much for your support of our Iraq, and on behalf of Iraq, I thank the great Soviet for its selfless assistance to us!" Zhang Feng said.

Zhang Feng couldn't believe his luck, the former chief designer of the T-72, was actually poached by himself so easily? With this old designer, then, all technical problems are not a problem, and then hire him to give lectures to technical personnel, and cultivate some talents from his own personnel, Zhang Feng's brain, thinking is beating rapidly.

Kartsev's experience was wonderful: in 1942 he graduated from the Soviet Tank School with honors, when World War II was still going on, he served as a tank mechanic at the front, after the war, Kartsev went to the Academy of Armored Forces and continued to graduate with honors, in 1949 he was assigned to work at the Nizhny Tagil Plant, with strong work ability and excellent grades, which was quickly appreciated by everyone. In just 4 years, he crossed several positions and became the chief designer, moreover, this person did not have a very good relationship with the party representatives of the design bureau, but he was not cleaned, because he was very capable of working!

Although Kartsev retired from the position of chief designer, he was still in very good health, full of energy, and spent a while at home, living an unrestrained life, but not at ease.

The other designers of the design bureau, there is nothing else to say, who can fight with this former chief designer?

In the years that followed, the veteran Kartsev devoted himself almost entirely to the development of Iraqi tanks, because he finally found what he had always dreamed of: the most powerful tank that could defeat all the tanks in the world! Moreover, he helped the Iraqis and raised the entire team of tank designers.

………… After all the parts had been transferred, Cooper looked at Muhammad, who had come to meet him, and suddenly felt ominous in his heart.

"Dear brother." "Now that the weapons have been delivered to you, it's time for the hijackers to release the hostages, right?" ”

"Our guys are currently having a difficult conversation with the hijackers, however, not much progress has been made so far." Muhammad said.? How can this be! Cowpaer has a feeling that the hijackers are in the same group as you, this kind of thing, do you need to talk about it? If this deal fails, Cooper knows that his business here in the Middle East will not be carried out in the future, and the Israelis will never let him go.

"However, the weapon has been given to you, and you cannot be untrustworthy!" Cooper said.

If it is to negotiate with other militants and be tricked by the other party like this, Cooper will never let the other party go, and if he can smuggle arms, which one is easy to deal with?

However, he lost his temper when he traded with Iran's political axe, no matter how big his own power was, it couldn't be as big as the other party's political axe, and in the previous transactions, both sides were very friendly, what happened this time?

"Brother." Muhammad said: "Allah, believe me, we will do our best to find a way to rescue the hostages." ”

Looking at the other party's sincere eyes, the only thing Cooper thought about now was to blow the other party's head with a pistol!

Suddenly, another Iranian ran towards Mohammed with a happy expression on his face and said: "Report, news has come from Tehran airport that the hijackers are finally willing to release the hostages!" ”

Cooper was relieved, brother, isn't this playing with me? Thankfully, I was mentally able to bear it.

"Brother, do you hear that? We have been working hard to resolve this hostage crisis. Muhammad said.

"Yes, yes, or is it transported to Turkey by car, like last time?" Cooper said.

"Well, in order for them to be able to reunite with their families as soon as possible, we can send them back by plane." Muhammad said.

"That's even better!" Cooper was completely relieved.

"Also, can those two hijackers be extradited to the United States for trial?" Cooper was in a good mood and asked, even though he knew it was almost impossible, he wanted to ask again.

Then he heard something he never wanted to hear again.

"Report, we have not captured the hijackers, who only released about 30 women hostages on the plane. Our personnel are still in the midst of a confrontation with the hijackers. ”

Cooper's eyes were dark, and he almost fainted, it turned out that the other party was really playing tricks!

………… Baghdad.

"Your Excellency, after several months of preparation, the Northern Military District of our armed forces, is fully prepared for war." Defense Minister Adnan said.

At present, the Southern Military Region has made great progress in the fighting, while in comparison, the Northern Military Region has hardly achieved anything.

The reason is simple, the southwest of Iran, a plain with a flat river, is very conducive to the assault of armored forces, and since Qusay arrived in the Southern Military District, he skillfully used various tactics and laid down large areas of land.

The north is different, the northern part of Iran is on the famous Iranian plateau, full of mountains, in this case, Iraq's mechanized forces can not be used, so, at the beginning of the Iran-Iraq war, the north and center roads are auxiliary, and the offensive on the south road is the focus.

And now, the southern route has achieved the predetermined goal, so the battle in the north has been planned for a long time.

In terms of weaponry and personnel quality, the Northern Military Region is the most elite, and now, the Southern Military Region has won several victories, and Iran's main vital force has also been consumed in those major wars, although Iran is constantly expanding its army, but the quality of personnel has obviously declined, so the Northern Military Region has finally drawn up a huge battle plan.

Adnan has mobilized six infantry divisions, two armored divisions, starting from Naft Shahr (originally a small Iranian city on the Iranian border, which has already been occupied) in Diyala province in eastern Baghdad, along the road to Bakhtaran, the capital of Bakhtaran province, to storm Bakhtalan!

Bakhtalan is located in the valley of the Garre, an upper tributary of the Karhei River, at an altitude of 1,358 meters above sea level. It is located on the main road from Tehran to Baghdad, and there are highways leading to Azerbaijan in the north and Khuzestan in the south, which is the main road intersection in western Iran.

If you take this place and expand it to the south, you can connect it with the land occupied by the Southern Military District, and this is a major transportation route, and it is very easy to enter Tehran in the east or Azerbaijan in the north.

Saddam Hussein has been giving orders to the Northern Military District for several months, and although he has only made proper preparations until now, the more fully prepared he is, the smoother the fight will be.

"We will advance step by step, with the armoured units moving along the several roads that have been surveyed, and at the same time, the infantry will occupy the high ground in advance and control everything around, and the air force will take off fighters and bomb Bakhtaran and Ilam, to prevent reinforcements, and if we go well, within a week, we will be able to reach Bakhtalam, and then we will gradually expand south." Adnan said.

Looking at everything on the map, Saddam Hussein nodded in agreement, cut this land from the Iranians, and set foot on the Iranian plateau, so that he would not always have to watch out for the Iranians to kill from here in the future.

The timing chosen now is also the best, Iran took the planes and hostages of the Americans, and the Americans were very angry, so the Americans secretly provided Baghdad with a clear satellite map of Iran, the Iranians were here, and did not deploy heavy troops, so the success rate of this attack in the Northern Military District was very large.

If in the past, Saddam would never have had so many ideas, but the successive victories of the Southern Military Region made his ** bigger and bigger, and the territory of the big Babylonian Empire in his heart would definitely be realized!
