"After this incident, we realized that our navy is too weak, so we want to buy some missile boats from your country...... Qusay said. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info≦≧

Missile boats? The Minister of Defense thought that he had misheard, that Iraq had always made a big deal, and that if Iraq wanted to buy it, it would have to be frigates at worst, and Iraq could still see those small missile boats? However, in the current country, there are really no frigates or destroyers that can be used.

"We can fully meet your needs, what kind of missile boats does Iraq need? Is it a wasp class, or a river valley class? The Minister of Defense asked.

Wasp-class, Rivervalley-class, that's their workhorse missile boat.

However, Qusay doesn't like it, those are all products before the seventies, and the displacement is too small, what he wants to buy missile boats and training ships in Chapter 585 is a slightly larger "Red Star" class (Type 037ig) large missile frigate.

Iraq's current naval capability is not even stretched for cruising in the Persian Gulf, so Iraq urgently needs a missile boat, and in the Persian Gulf, missile boats are sufficient.

And the red star, which is the country's second-generation missile boat, has a displacement of 500 tons, which not only improves the living space of the crew, but also provides better conditions for the modification of this missile boat. ≦≧

Moreover, this missile boat, using C801 anti-ship missiles, Iraq can produce independently, and can also be modified with an extended-range type, or modified Iraq's improved ground attack missiles on the basis of C801, Red Bird 1 or Red Bird 2, so that this missile boat, with the support of its own C3I data link, can carry out ground attacks.

The only thing that makes Cusai a little uncertain. In later generations, this missile boat entered service at the end of the eighties, and now, this missile boat, has it begun to be built?

"We need a missile boat with a displacement of about five hundred tons, moreover, it can hold four C801 anti-ship missiles. Two twin 37mm cannons were also required at bow and stern for anti-aircraft fire. Chapter 585 Buying Missile Boats and Training Ship Kusai said: "Wasp-class and River Valley class, the displacement is too small......"

The Minister of Defense has a clever mind in his heart, he has a missile boat on the design drawings, which can meet this need, and the construction has not yet started, because the funds have not yet been paid, since the other side has proposed it, it is better to build it for them first!

"We have a Red Star missile boat. ≦≧ perfectly suited to your needs, if we sign a contract, we can start construction now, and the construction period of this dinghy will not exceed half a year. The Minister of Defense said: "I wonder how many ships you need?" ”

Sure enough, there is a red star! "We need ten, but we can deliver them in batches, five in the early stage, in your production, and five in the later stage. We hope that Iraq can produce itself. ”

Do you produce it yourself? The Minister of Defense asked: "Your Excellency Qusay, do you have a shipyard?" ”

"No, but, soon." Qusay said.

After listening to Qusay's words, everyone present laughed, and on such an occasion, His Excellency Qusay actually told such a joke.

"We are willing to help your country build a shipyard for the production of such missile boats as long as your country needs it." The Minister of Defense said that the creation of a shipyard. That is also a lot of investment, so that the country can also get a part of the foreign exchange.

"We need this shipyard to be larger, and in addition to building these missile boats, we can also build civilian ships of several thousand tons. ≦≧," Cusai said.

"No problem at all, it's a tanker of tens of thousands of tons, as long as you want. We can also help you set up such a large shipyard. Said the Minister of Defense.

"In addition to the missile boats, we also need to customize several large training ships for naval training from you." Qusay said.

Now, the Naval Academy in Basra is gradually beginning to train talents. However, up to now, they have only talked on paper, at most they are using civilian ships to go to sea for training, which is very unreasonable, if the Iraqi Navy wants to be strong, it has to start with basic talents, and when it comes to capturing talents, in addition to educating them, training is also very important, so that professional training ships are needed......

Large training ships? The Minister of Defense asked solemnly: "What kind of scale and what form of training ships do you need?" ”

Because at this time, the country's navy did not have a professional naval training ship, and it had always rented merchant ships and fishing boats for naval cadet training, and the first professional ocean-going navigation training ship "Zheng He" designed by the country was still on the drawing board.

"With a length of more than 100 meters and a displacement of tens of thousands of tons, the front is a tiled deck on which several helicopters can take off and land, and can also carry standard containers. ≦≧" Qusay said: "The ship needs to have a variety of functions such as nautical training, helicopter training, medical training, national defense mobilization exercises, and carrying 300 TEUs. By adding various container modules, a civilian transport ship can be quickly converted into a military auxiliary for various wartime uses. In the Falklands War the year before last, the British could quickly modify many civilian ships to achieve military purposes in the process of navigation, and they could also be converted into rescue ships by loading different container modules, such as loading medical module containers. ”

What Qusay said was the idea of the "Shichang" of later generations, that Iraq needs a professional ship trained by the navy, and since it needs it, it needs a big ship, which can be used for training in peacetime, and can also provide other uses in wartime, and will not become obsolete in the future. Moreover, the large deck in front can take off and land several helicopters at the same time, and if it really comes to wartime, anti-submarine will be of great use.

The idea put forward by Qusay moved these people, and none of them thought that a layman, who could almost be said to have no navy, would actually put forward these ideas, and in this case, this ship would be of great use.

"Your Excellency Qusay, these ideas of yours are very interesting, such a ship, we need to design, from design to construction to service, I'm afraid it will take two to three years." said the Minister of Defense. ≦≧

"We can wait, however, this ship must meet our requirements." Qusay said.

"Your Excellency Qusay, we invite you to visit the Shanghai Qiuxin Shipyard and explain your ideas to our designers in detail." said the Minister of Defense.

One of Qusay's trips was to visit Shanghai, so the defense minister asked him to visit the Shanghai shipyard, and Qusay agreed.

After the meeting, it was almost dark, and after a friendly banquet between the two sides, Qusay checked into the hotel.

The sky in the capital is still very clear at the moment, looking at the stars in the sky, Qusay suddenly became interested and wanted to go out, ride a bicycle, and go for a spin.

……

Western Iran, Bakhtaran region.

It was originally a barren mountainous area on the Iranian plateau, where crops could not be grown, and only in the valley of the Garre, a tributary of the upper Karhei River, did there be some grain, mainly wheat and sugar cane.

But now, in the tall and silent mountains, there is a sudden uproar, because geological surveyors from Austria have discovered minerals here.

In addition to iron ore, there are mainly copper ores, and even rare earth minerals have been found in a special place.

A simple mountain road has been built, and the Steyr 91 series and Mercedes-Benz NG-80 series 66 off-road heavy trucks that entered Iraq in advance rushed here to transport the ore dug out of the cave to the west of Iraq, where the metal smelting base under construction was turned into a metal resource for Iraq.

These transport tasks were carried out by the transport units of the Iraqi second-line reserves, and when they replaced these trucks, they immediately realized that they were very different from the dilapidated Soviet-style trucks they had been driving.

These cars have strong horsepower, especially the application of turbocharging technology, even in the plateau area, there is enough power to support the car to climb the hill with heavy loads, although the rated load is only 15 tons, but in order to complete the task, these transport companies in Iraq often pull to 30 tons, or even 40 tons, which is a serious overload, and Steyr and Mercedes-Benz have shown the ability to adapt to overload.

One of the convoys was very curious about the minerals they were transporting, because the stones they were transporting looked no different from ordinary stones, but they were told that it was a rare ore, and in order to avoid being discovered, they needed to have strict secrecy measures, and the entire convoy of people could not talk to the outside world, and there were personnel from the intelligence service from Baghdad to escort them, and they would change to other insiders to drive before entering the cave.

So, although they were very curious, they knew that they had an important responsibility, and they did not dare to say a word.

They don't know that what they are doing is indeed a very secret thing, because what is being excavated there is the site of an underground nuclear test.

Because a large number of Iraqi cars are now transporting ore here, even if it is discovered by satellites in the sky, they will only think that it is ordinary ore transportation, and they will not know what other secrets will be in it.

At this time, inside the cave, Haidar Hamza, who has been the head of the physics department of the research center of the Iraqi Ministry of Nuclear Energy since the seventies, and who was all involved in the nuclear program, is now in the cave, directing the final battle.

Underground nuclear tests are divided into shallow and deep, and after the shallow explosion is completed, it will still leave a large pit on the surface, so it is mainly a deep nuclear test, and there are two ways to dig a hole underground, mainly a flat hole and a vertical hole.

Now, they have excavated the tangent direction of the horizontal tunnel under the mountain according to the geological situation, and there are several roadways in each horizontal tunnel, with a depth of 150 meters and a cross-sectional area of 12 square meters, which is convenient for transporting equipment and devices, and then, it is to place the monitoring device at a distance of several meters to 10 meters from the center of the explosion, and at the exit of each horizontal tunnel, there is a distribution platform for test equipment, and it is distributed into corresponding communities, so as to place various equipment with different performance. The final automatic explosion console and detection instrument console were located 5 km from the exit of the tunnel.

Now that the hole has been dug and they are waiting for the equipment to arrive!!
