Chapter 627: Iraqi Shipyards

readx;

The Red Bird No. 3 missile, with a total length of less than six meters, is only about seven meters long after being loaded into the launch canister, and the chassis of the Mercedes-Benz series of 8*8 off-road heavy trucks can just place this kind of missile loaded into the launch canister, and two meters of equipment can be set aside in front of the equipment compartment. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info≦≧

After the introduction of two kinds of heavy trucks in Iraq, the Mercedes-Benz series of heavy trucks have excellent performance, but the price is still a little high, so they are only equipped with key projects in the Iraqi army, while Steyr heavy trucks, strong and durable, moderate price, a large number of them have entered the Iraqi army and undertaken logistics and other tasks.

Based on the chassis of the Mercedes-Benz, the Iraqi personnel modified it to complete the development of cruise missile launchers, each of which can carry four missiles.

As the range of cruise missiles will become larger and larger in the future, the way of launching on land and ground is the most economical, and all the data can be installed before launch, and the data of the selected launch site can be entered in advance to achieve the purpose of rapid launch.

Qusay secretly inspected the Red Bird missile base in Zubayer and was very happy that the military production here is being carried out intensively, and here is the beginning of the great revival of Iraq!

However, when inspecting the F-20 production line, Qusay frowned a little, the production of the F-20 is now being carried out intensively, however, some of the raw materials that still need to be imported from the United States until now, began to show signs of shortage, but, for some reason, the raw materials that should have arrived, such as the titanium alloy used in the F404 engine, and avionics equipment, are now starting to run out of stock. ≦≧

Qusay knew that the United States was warning Iraq that although the United States exported to Iraq's production lines, the United States could still be at a critical moment because these things still needed to be imported. Stuck in Iraq's neck.

Want sanctions? Qusay sneered, there are two results of sanctions, one is to make the country slump from now on, and the other is to make the country stronger!

Iraq's industrial system is still imperfect, for example, titanium alloys are blanks imported from abroad, if the United States does not provide them, then. It can be obtained from Europe, such as France, and can also be applied for from the Soviet Union. ≦≧ can even get titanium alloy smelting equipment, and as for raw materials, Qusay believes that in the eastern Iranian plateau, minerals are still very abundant.

Unlike the Hereafter. This sanction is at most a sanction imposed by the United States, and Western countries will not respond, even if Western countries do, then there is another superpower, which will be the case in the future. It's not going to happen.

Right now, for example, the superpowers are cheering up Iraq.

And now, the United States has not officially imposed sanctions. It's just doing things in secret. As for electronic equipment, Qusay is confident that the United States does not provide it, and it can be started from the West, you know. Now he has a domestic R&D team. There is also a powerful electronics company: Ousheng Electronics Company, which has grown into a large international company, and no one will know that the president of this company is his own cronies, and now this company has taken a stake in the British Aerospace Corporation, and British electronic technology, especially radar, is also relatively advanced.

Sarah has grown into a successful woman through her own training! Qusay thought to himself. ≦≧

If the United States does not provide it, then, Iraq will find its own way to overcome various difficulties in the production of F-20, and finally realize the domestic production of all components, in this way, it is also a great progress for Iraq, but I don't know when the time comes, Northrop and General Dynamics, what kind of face should it be, Qusay remembered the eastern powers in the future, after assembling dozens of Su-27SKs, they stopped importing, and after several years of work, the J-11 came out in large quantities.

In addition to inspecting his own major military production bases and checking the progress of these projects, another purpose of Qusay was to see how the technical experts from the big eastern countries were doing with the site selection and design of their shipyards. Qusay is well aware of his goal, Iraq wants to be strong, and the ultimate development is the power of the sea! Iraq started from scratch, gradually developed its industry, and now, at last, began to develop its own shipbuilding industry.

Returning from the big eastern powers, dropping off those technicians, Qusay left them to "fend for themselves" and never took care of them, and now, before the upcoming exercise, Qusay took time to inspect Port Saddam.

Port Saddam, the port named after the great leader of Iraq, is in the southwest of a small island in the Musabar Gulf in the northwest of the Persian Gulf, about 80 kilometers away from the port of Abadan in the west, the port area was originally on both sides of the railway terminal, there are east and west wharves, as well as the barge port pool and grain import wharf and fertilizer plant wharf in the east of the east wharf, the wharf line is 3,374 meters, and the water depth is ...... Rice. ≦≧At the end of the 70s, the Iranian government expanded the new port area on a large scale on the banks of the Dorak River northwest of the old port, completing a total of 28 deep-water berths, including 4 container berths, 2 grain berths and 1 ro-ro ore berth, and the rest are general cargo berths. The quay line is 5,285 meters long and has a water depth of ...... meters, so that the port of deep-water berths up to more than 40, as a result, all cheaper for Iraq. This port has become an important port in Iraq, among which, in the east port, there are Iraq's newly built naval bases, and Iraq's secret submarine bases are also among them.

After some investigation, Cheng Yu is very satisfied with this place, Sabar Bay is an excellent deep water bay, the water surface is open, the geographical location is suitable, the climatic conditions are also very good, and there is a direct railway, which is convenient for the transportation of materials in the future. Further west along the shores of the bay, on that flat terrain, it was fitting to break ground and build a shipyard.

These days, Cheng Yu and several of his colleagues have been surveying the terrain in order to determine the construction plan of the shipyard, the location of the slipway, the location of the gantry crane, the workshop of prefabricated parts, and how to store various materials to make the scheduling reasonable. ≦≧

These days, running outside every day, Cheng Yu's white skin has been tanned by the Middle East sun, she already knows why the custom here is to wear a scarf and cover her whole body, but fortunately there are no sandstorms here.

If you go to the desert area, you can't really move without those equipment.

Carrying the equipment, when they finished their day's work, Cheng Yu and his colleagues began to return, and they looked up and saw a helicopter flying in the sky. "This time there is a lot of movement in the Middle East, do you say that Iraq will launch a blow to Israel like Operation Babylon? The code name for their exercise this time was Babylonian Fury. A male colleague looked at the sign on the helicopter in the sky and knew it belonged to the Iraqi military, he said guessingly.

"I haven't been to Iraq before, I thought it had gone through the war and it had become very dilapidated, but I didn't expect that it was so orderly here, and I couldn't see that it had experienced the war, it seems that these oil countries are rich!" Another young man said that the monthly subsidy given by Iraq is enough to work in the country for half a year, which gives them a new impression of the country.

"We're here to work, remember your mission, everything about here, and don't comment on it." Cheng Yu said.

They are engineers, and before they came here, they had been warned that they must not participate in all kinds of political and military activities here, and they were only helping Iraq to build shipyards.

Returning to the station, a small building in the downtown area of Port Saddam, Cheng Yu had just put down his equipment when he was told by the Iraqi personnel that His Excellency Qusay had asked their person in charge to go to the port office. Lord Qusay is here? Unexpectedly, when the situation in the Middle East is so tense now, he still has the leisure to come here? He's so calm!

The demeanor of a general, as a superior, this is a kind of calmness that must be had, Cheng Yu thought in his heart.

"Cheng Yu, here is all the information." An officer said.

"Why give it to me?"

"Because you're going to make a report!"

"Why am I going?"

"Because you know your Excellency Cusay best, so it's easy to talk."

Qusayian was briefed by some of the port chiefs that after the end of the war, the port of Saddam Hussein had resumed its original functions and had become a very important port for international trade. In addition to a secret submarine base, which can accommodate more than a dozen conventional submarines, a wharf capable of berthing warships of less than 10,000 tons has also been built, and it will be an important military port in Iraq.

The Iraqi Navy, although it is still an offshore navy, will lay a solid foundation for the take-off of the Iraqi Navy from now on! Qusay has already sent personnel to Italy to urge the other side to build two Artiglier-class frigates for his side, which was originally ordered by President Saddam Hussein, and by now, it should have been built, right?

If Iraq wants to develop its navy, it is not enough to buy it alone, so when Qusay came to inspect it, he was even more concerned about its own shipbuilding industry and its own shipyards, which needed to develop rapidly.

"Report, representatives from the shipyard side are here." The secretary reported.

"Ask him to come in." Qusay said.

When the other party came in, Cusai glanced up and saw Cheng Yu.

At this time, Cheng Yu is different from the last time I saw it on the plane, except that his skin was a little blackened by the Middle East sun, and more importantly, his temperament has been sublimated and he has become more mature.

"Your Excellency Qusay, after this period of investigation, our Chinese personnel have completed the rough design of the shipyard in the early stage, and now, I will give you a report." Cheng Yu said very calmly.
