Chapter 326: Star Wars Project
Ajelina walked the streets of Baghdad and always had a strange feeling.
This time I came with His Excellency Qusay, and lived in His Excellency Qusay's villa on the outskirts of Baghdad, and together with Ghazal, took care of His Excellency Qusay's daily life, and when His Excellency Qusay was doing business, she also did a big thing just now, stabilizing the restless guy, as for what to do in the future, I have to listen to His Excellency Qusay's arrangement, whether to set up a bureau and let that Uday jump in, or deliberately disclose Uday's actions to the intelligence department in Baghdad, are all later stories.
However, Ajelina always has an inexplicable feeling that behind her, it seems that someone is following her!
Is it the Udayites? That brainless guy shouldn't have that kind of thought, right? What's the use of him letting people follow him? Or someone from the CIA? Know your true identity as a KGB swallow?
Ajelina walked slowly, with a small pistol in her bag, but in such a place, if a shot was fired, it would alarm the people of Watban (Iraq's Minister of Internal Security).
She walked into a remote path, as a swallow of the KGB, in addition to seducing people in bed, her combat quality is also very high, here, solve the people who follow her!
However, there is nothing behind him, is it because he feels wrong?
Hassar was finally sure that the woman who came out of Uday's house was the life secretary next to His Excellency Qusay!
Since Kerman returned with that squad, Hasar has received further attention from Yurid and given a higher position, just as His Excellency Qusai returned to Baghdad, for the safety of His Excellency Qusay, the Masiha Bureau dispatched a certain amount of manpower to monitor various people who may be in danger, and Uday was naturally the focus.
Hasar disguised himself as an ordinary citizen of Baghdad and watched from outside this dacha in Uday.
As a result, she found a person who she was very familiar with, because she had studied His Excellency Qusay a lot, so this woman, Hassal could see from the back that she was not ordinary.
She is the woman next to His Excellency Qusay! Hassal felt that his discovery was very important.
After following for a while, after being convinced, Hassal did not choose to continue to follow, so as not to be exposed, what she needed to do was to report to Director Yurid, this is a very important thing, if the people around His Excellency Qusai are in collusion with Uday, then His Excellency Qusai will definitely die a miserable death.
Although Hassar's motives for coming to Iraq were not pure, and it was also for His Excellency Qusay, now, as if she had forgotten her mission, as if she was doing her duty as an intelligence officer of the Messiah Bureau, she had completely forgotten that she was the head of the Middle East branch of "Assasin", she was a killer!
.................. "Your Excellency. Zhang Feng said: "This time, we were able to import a tank production line from the Soviet Union, which is a great progress. ”
Saddam shrugged his eyebrows and said, "Qusay, why do you always like to introduce production lines?" Now we have foreign exchange reserves, but the cost of the war is still very large, and we had a meeting that day, and I just agreed with you to import Soviet tanks. ”
"Your Excellency President, I think you agree with my intention to introduce a production line, aren't the F-20 fighters and C-801s we introduced a production line?" Zhang Feng asked puzzledly, pretending to be innocent, and then explained: "The introduction of the production line is of great benefit to our national defense, and only in this way will we not be controlled by others in future wars." ”
"Well, we have already negotiated with the Soviets, and the introduction of the production line will be like this for the time being!" Saddam said: "However, this time we have invested heavily in the production of tanks, and priority must be given to equipping the Republican Guard." ”
"Yes, Your Excellency." Zhang Feng knew that Daddy was the idea of the Continental Army, and the most elite and loyal force in his hands would of course use the most advanced weapons, which he didn't want to fight for, otherwise it would cause Daddy's dissatisfaction, and when the output came up in the future, there would always be a chance to equip it himself.
Although Zhang Feng wants to have the German Leopard 2 tank more, the excessively high price makes him dare not have any special thoughts, although Iraq has rich oil resources, but it is still unable to equip a large number of high-cost, very sophisticated tanks.
"Your Excellency, if I have time, I would like to go to the Soviet Union, and although the agreement with their production line has been signed, I would like to go to the Soviet tank factories to take a thorough look at the details." Zhang Feng said.
Saddam Hussein nodded: "This time Gorbachev visited our country, we should also pay a return visit, so as to show our good image." ”
…………… On the other side of the world, the sudden visit of the Soviet Union to Iraq brought a huge arms sales order, and it was even more mixed.
"Gorbachev was only in charge of agriculture, and he didn't seem to be studying whether grain could be grown in the desert when he went to Iraq, right?" President Ronald Reagan said humorously.
"The Soviet Union went against the norm this time and took the initiative to dispatch a secretary of the Central Committee to go around that Middle Eastern country, and it must have a plan, definitely not just to sell his castrated version of the tank." Poyndexter said.
"Any news from the CIA?" Vice President Bush asked.
"Although Gorbachev was in charge of agriculture, in the Soviet Union, he was a capable officer under Andropov, although he was not old enough, only 50 years old, but his power in the Central Committee of the CPSU was increasing, and according to reliable information, Gorbachev was likely to be appointed as his successor by Andropov." CIA Director William? Casey said.
What the? Now everyone else is not so laid-back, although they laughed a lot when they said that Gorbachev was not old enough, but as soon as they heard that this man might become the number two man in the Soviet Union, they cheered up, because this news was the first time they had heard of it.
"Andropov was carrying out reforms, which made the economy of the Soviet Union better, and although the Soviet industry was developed and capable of producing advanced weapons, agricultural production was very backward, and in the event of a famine, it was actually hungry. Therefore, agriculture was also Andropov's focus, so Gorbachev's status became higher and higher, and he also supported Andropov's reforms all the time. William continued.
The Soviet Union was carrying out reforms, and the vast empire was finally in decline, which made them feel very satisfied.
However, the USSR stretched out a big hand in Afghanistan, and now, again, wants to make an idea in Iraq?
"We must prevent Iraq from moving closer to the Soviet Union, which is not in our American interests!" "If Iraq were to fall completely to the Soviet Union, our previous efforts would be in vain," Reagan said. ”
"Mr. President, I have an idea." "Right now, the Soviet Union is carrying out economic reforms in a vain attempt to restore their economy, and we all know that the Soviet Union is now completely dependent on selling oil, and if Andropov really gets the Soviet economy up, it will definitely be a big threat to us," Poindexter said. Now that we are considering the question of Iraq, it is better to consider a more essential one, that is, how to drag down the economy of the Soviet Union! ”
This is a very divergent idea, and now the biggest threat to the United States is still the Soviet Union, and if the Soviet Union collapses, how can the United States take a small Iraq to heart.
"You want to talk about your Star Wars plans again, right?" Weinberg said.
This plan has been proposed several times by Poindexter, but the president has always disagreed, but he is still working on it.
"We are now in the midst of the Cold War, and the Soviet Union's thousands of nuclear warheads are aimed at us day and night, and the reason why no one dares to launch them now is because once launched, both sides will be the result of the same end, and because the Soviet Union has a more powerful nuclear attack force and missile defense breaking capability, our "nuclear balance" situation is easily broken, so we need to establish an effective anti-missile system to ensure the survivability and reliable deterrence of our strategic nuclear forces, and maintain nuclear superiority, Wouldn't it be great if we built it and would never again be afraid of Soviet nuclear warheads? At the same time, this is a project that costs a lot of money, and we have strong economic and scientific strength, and we can make limited investments to deceive the Soviets, and if they compete with us in outer space, they will definitely bring down their economy completely. ”
Everyone here has heard the argument of Star Wars, and they are already familiar with this theory, but today, it always feels that the feasible surname is much greater.
In particular, there was great temptation to bring down the economy of the Soviet Union.
"Even if we don't achieve the goal of this project in the end, we will benefit a lot from the progress of many of these subsystems." Poyndexter said.
Star Wars is a multi-layered space defense program based on space and consisting of a global surveillance, early warning and identification system, an interception system, and a command, control, and communications system. It is a high-tech group that includes rocket technology, aerospace technology, high-energy laser technology, microelectronics technology, computer technology, etc.
One of the advantages of the United States over the Soviet Union is its superiority in high technology, and this project, with a budget of nearly $1 trillion yuan, will greatly boost the economy and promote the development of a large number of high-tech clusters, so as to maintain the leading position of the United States in the economic, military, scientific, and technological fields.
Reagan nodded, and finally affirmed the plan, and the idea of dragging down the economy of the USSR and letting the USSR collapse itself was too tempting for now.
At this time, neither the Soviet Union, nor the United States, nor His Excellency Qusay, who flapped his wings and changed history, did not know that a sudden and far-reaching event that no one was prepared against, had happened.
