In fact, the West has always been blockading the Soviet Union and has never exported any high-tech products to the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union has always been developing and has always been strong, the United States has it, the Soviet Union will have it, artificial satellites, spaceships, aircraft carriers, all the things that the Soviet Union has. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info≦≧

The Soviet Union has never taken Western public opinion seriously, and because of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Western countries boycotted the XXII Olympic Games held in Moscow, and the Soviet Union will retaliate by boycotting the XXIII Olympic Games held in Los Angeles, USA.

At this time, the Soviet Union, although the treasury was barely able to maintain normal expenditures and was in deficit, the Soviet Union was still a trembling and powerful presence on this earth.

Now, this powerful country, which would make the world tremble with a stomp of its feet, has begun another round of expansion for what it is, and even moderate leaders, who have been vigorously pushing forward domestic reforms and promoting the economic development of the Soviet Union, do not want to miss this opportunity. ≦≧

"The military is starting to move troops, make combat deployments, and the diplomatic department is engaging with the current Iranian government while testing Iraq's attitude." Andropov listened to it for so long, and his sleepiness had come up, and his kidney disease was getting worse and worse.

However, after weighing it, he was really unwilling to let go of such a good opportunity.

Hearing this news, Gorbachev was anxious in his heart, if the Soviet army really sent troops, then, unless the Soviet government sold the gold in the treasury, it would not be able to maintain the expenses of the army at all, how could Comrade Andropov become so hasty!

……… When it comes to Austria, almost everyone thinks of Vienna, the capital of music, where the blue Danube River flows slowly, creating a special cultural atmosphere. Several music masters. Both have settled in Vienna.

Steyr City, one of the only few administrative regions in Austria, is a 1,000-year-old town in Upper Austria, located at the confluence of the Steyr and En rivers. ≦≧ it is the center of Austrian manufacturing and has a long history, as early as the 14th century, Steyr was already a famous metalworking center and began to cast weapons.

Today, Steyr-Daimler-Puch AG is based here. It covers all aspects of weapons manufacturing, truck manufacturing and automobile manufacturing.

(It's a pity in the Hereafter.) In '87, the small arms manufacturing division was spun off from Steyr-Daimler-Puch AG to form the 60xs company "Steyr-Manlisha". And the commercial vehicle part, because of blind expansion, caught up with the economic depression of the 90s. All of them were acquired by the German company AN, and only the military vehicle part was on the verge of it. Now, the Steyr company in Steyr City has welcomed a group of guests from the Middle East.

At this time, Steyr's agreement with China had just been signed to transfer the complete production line of Steyr trucks to China, which made Steyr very excited, and the Middle Eastern guests who followed were naturally more warmly received. ≦≧

"Our Steyr 91 series heavy-duty vehicles n our company began to develop a new generation of heavy-duty vehicles in 75 years to meet the needs of the last two decades. Our car is a serialized product, with a total of seven tonnage models: three varieties of two-axle vehicles 991, 1291 and 1391, three varieties of three-axle vehicles 1491, 2591 and 2891, and one variety of four-axle vehicles 1891. Steyr's commentator said while showing the slides: "Our full range of models have adopted modular design, consisting of 5 different power engines, 4 gearboxes, 3 drive rear axles, 2 front axles, 2 clutches, 2 steering gearboxes and a set of air circuit modules to combine 7 levels of dozens of models, with the world's advanced level." In addition, in order to adapt our cars to large-scale production, we use a simple production process. Like what. The chassis of our car adopts the common grooved girder, which is composed of two straight beams with the same height before and after the inside and outside. ≦≧ for example. Our military 1491 model, when installing the superstructure. It is necessary to attach a secondary longitudinal beam with a certain cross-sectional size to meet the needs of chassis strength. "Mohammad Mahdi al-Saleh, who became Iraq's trade minister under Saddam's promotion, was taken seriously by His Excellency Qusay and sent to Austria to negotiate the introduction of the project.

"We need more." Mohammed said: "First, your D615 engine, which can only output 310 horsepower at present, can use turbocharging technology to output 370 horsepower, or even 400 horsepower, and second, we need to bring in, mainly 10-ton and 16-ton wheel side reduction axles, and we can get the complete production technology of these equipment, including all the equipment for the production of special alloy steel required for high-strength gears from smelting." ”

Muhammad's statement is that Qusay based on China's later main production of models, that is, to adapt to China's overloaded and complex road conditions, after nearly 20 years of testing, at the same time, will also withstand the test of Iraq, although after Muhammad took over the project, began to study the Steyr project, but still admire the knowledge of His Excellency Qusay, His Excellency Qusay, is definitely the reincarnation of the true god!

One of the important things about Steyr's ability to sign a final agreement with China is that the company is very patient, especially for big projects from the Middle East. ≦≧

"These can be satisfied, we will export a full set of technology to your country, not only the latest 16-ton wheel reducer we have just developed, but also our D615 engine, all components of the double intermediate shaft gearbox, will be independently produced in Iraq." said the deputy general manager of Steyr.

Just when the Iraqi delegation inspected the Steyr company in Austria, Baghdad, Iraq, ushered in a new guest from Europe, and the sales team of the German Mercedes-Benz Motor Company, led by the deputy general manager of Mercedes-Benz Commercial Vehicle, came to Iraq in person!

Mercedes-Benz is in a hurry, really anxious, in the Chinese project, because of the arrogance of Mercedes-Benz, they have lost the opportunity to enter China, they don't want to lose the huge market in the Middle East!

It's a huge irony that they have the best cars, but they don't export them to the market that they are confident in.

The export to China is mainly because Mercedes-Benz has settled on China's market, and they think that China will obediently spend huge foreign exchange to use their advanced cars, so when exporting technology to China, they put forward conditions requiring China to buy at least 1,000 NG-80 series cars before considering exporting technology.

Therefore, it is a pity that the Germans, or rather, because of their arrogance, let them lose this opportunity to enter the huge market of the East, but they still did not give up, a special team, in the planning of new programs, to eliminate their own cars, to be able to enter the Chinese market.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that Steyr Motors, a car company that is not worth mentioning in Europe at all, actually lost their luck, and even the Middle Easterners took a fancy to their cars!

At the end of World War II, as a defeated country, the entire machinery industry of the Federal Republic of Germany almost became a ruin, but the Germans at the forefront of the Cold War were hard at the end of the war in just 10 years, they created an amazing performance of 1 million cars per year, in the early 70s, the Federal Republic of Germany has surpassed the United Kingdom to become the world's second largest car producer, to now, Mercedes-Benz's NG-80 series cars, It has gained a good reputation all over the world.

They did not expect that China, which was poor and could not afford foreign exchange, chose Austria's Steyr project, for which Austria provided China with a low-interest loan of 500 million US dollars, and promised that China could use its own Steyr cars to pay off its debts, but rich Iraq actually chose Steyr!

Kusay didn't know that he was just buying things with the money in his pocket, and he could buy whatever he could, but he deeply stimulated the proud Germans, who made up their minds: they must open the market in the Middle East!

Because, the countries of the Middle East are rich countries with rich oil, and, from now on, Iraq has been in the Middle East countries, gradually replacing Egypt's former status, Iraq's own production line has successfully entered other Middle Eastern countries, such as Saudi Arabia, the choice of Iraqi production of Mirage 4000 fighters and T-72 tanks, if Mercedes-Benz cars can successfully open the Iraqi market, then, the entire Middle East, there will be the shadow of Mercedes-Benz trucks everywhere!

Therefore, Mercedes-Benz has been paying close attention to the situation in Iraq, and when they saw that the Iraqi delegation visited Steyr Motors, they finally couldn't bear it, and the delegation came to Iraq in person to promote it.

They absolutely do not believe that Iraq, which can be equipped with even a Mirage 4000 for tens of millions of dollars, will be reluctant to introduce their best cars, and Iraq must not know the excellent performance of their own cars!
