After watching Gaddafi get into the car, the two female bodyguards also followed into the car, and the rest, getting into the car next to him, Taha really envied this guy who was not yet forty years old. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ{{}}

Taha knew that Colonel Gaddafi advocated the emancipation of women and that the status of women in Arab countries should be promoted, rather than being veiled and not being able to talk to casual men, which was the same as President Qusay's proposal. However, Qaddafi did it more quickly and in a very different way, not first putting women on an equal footing with men in other positions, but first establishing women in the military. In 1978, Gaddafi approved the establishment of the Tripoli Women's Military Academy, and in September 1981, Gaddafi personally attended the graduation ceremony of the first batch of graduates, and since then, Gaddafi's guards have begun to use female bodyguards, and then this phenomenon has become more and more, and now, Colonel Gaddafi's bodyguards are all women, and it has become a beautiful scenery.

When President Saddam Hussein was in power, Qusay liked to go to the airport to greet those important people, such as Arafat, such as Gorbachev and others, but now, Qusay has become the president, so Qusay's identity can no longer go to the airport to greet him in person, and he can meet visitors on the same day, which is already very sympathetic. {{}}

After the convoy arrived at the Palace of the Republic, Gaddafi's female bodyguard had already gotten out of the car to protect Gaddafi's safety, and then Gaddafi slowly got out of the car and entered the Palace of the Republic accompanied by Taha.

"Welcome Colonel Gaddafi to Iraq." In a large conference room. Qusay said.

Looking at the few female bodyguards behind Gaddafi, Qusai really wanted to ask. He was in Iraq, was he still afraid of being assassinated? Naturally, Iraq will protect his security. Especially here, those bodyguards are really useless, of course, this may be Gaddafi's signature.

"It is a great pleasure to be here, Iraq under the leadership of President Qusay. Now it is getting stronger and stronger, and it is an example for our Arab countries! Gaddafi said.

Listening to Qaddafi's words, Qusay knew that this was an attitude he was expressing himself. They also recognized Iraq's status as an Arab power, even surpassing Egypt?

After talking for more than an hour, from the friendship of Arab countries to the general trend of the international situation, Qaddafi felt that the time was almost up, and finally began his intention: "President Qusay, your country's military industry is developing very fast. {{}}(.) It has surpassed Egypt to become the number one industrial country in our Arab world. ”

"Yes, we in the Arab world, if we want to change the current appearance, then we have to start with industry, we have to rely not only on oil, but also on industry, a country. Only when the industry is developed can it be a promising country. Qusay said.

"Your army is equipped with a new type of wheeled combat vehicle, and in the process of helping Syria stabilize domestic order, that combat vehicle arrived in Syria by air as soon as possible, and we in Libya are also very interested." Gaddafi said.

Hearing Gaddafi's words, Qusay knew that this Arab brother was really here to send money to himself.

Qusay frowned: "That kind of infantry fighting vehicle, we only successfully developed it at the end of last year, finalized to equip the troops, in order to transform our motorized infantry division into a mechanized infantry division, we need a large number of desert leopard infantry fighting vehicles, now, our factory has been operating at full capacity, still can not meet our needs, the last time King Fahd and I spoke, I did not agree." {{}}”

This kind of infantry fighting vehicle, Kusai is to be equipped in large quantities, but to open up the market, it is definitely a step to be carried out after Kusai, the engine, gearbox and other main components, completely the same as the civilian one, so, the production capacity will not become too big a problem, at most is to slow down the production of trucks, anyway, Mercedes-Benz heavy truck is a high-end product, the demand is not as large as Steyr heavy truck.

As for King Fahd's request, it was completely said casually by Qusay, this Gaddafi brother will never go to King Fahd for Qusay's words?

Although Libya is also an Arab brother, there is still a difference between Saudi Arabia and other countries, especially that Libya has rich oil resources and is very rich in the country, so he wants this kind of infantry fighting vehicle, then, the asking price of Iraq cannot be too low, otherwise, it will be difficult to get over the face!

Libya took the initiative to order this infantry fighting vehicle, which shows that this infantry fighting vehicle developed by Iraq is completely in line with the needs of actual combat and has a large foreign trade market. {{}}

"We in Libya and Iraq are Arab brothers, and we should help each other, and we have firmly supported the actions advocated by Iraq in the previous times, whether it is to reduce oil production or increase production, because, I think, President Qusay, you are a friend, worthy of our relationship with Syria." Gaddafi said.

Gaddafi, a Bedouin born in the desert, takes friendship very seriously, and he opposes the West and the United States, mainly because of his support for his Palestinian brothers, and he has always been generous to African countries that ask him for assistance.

Therefore, when Gaddafi said that, Libya's support for Iraq is enough, and Libya has also suffered a certain loss from the last oil production increase, and this situation needs to be repaid by Iraq. {{}}

"Yes, we are Arab brothers, so even if we in Iraq do not equip ourselves, we will meet your needs first." "This infantry fighting vehicle, as long as Libya needs it, we can sell it to our Arab brothers at cost price," Qusay said. ”

Hearing Qusay's answer, Gaddafi was finally satisfied, how to say, Libya can be regarded as a country that supports Iraq, and Iraq should also repay Libya.

"We in Libya need to order 200 vehicles in advance, and if it is appropriate, our final order quantity is about 1,000 vehicles." Gaddafi said.

A thousand! This is exactly the number of BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles that Libya was equipped with in later generations, and now, Iraq can be regarded as robbing all the business of the Soviet Union.

"Okay, then we will export 200 Desert Leopard basic infantry fighting vehicles to you first according to 500,000 US dollars each." Qusay said. Two hundred, $500,000 each, that's a $100 million project, and it's a big business.

"Thank you very much to my Arab brothers," Gaddafi said: "Most of our Syria is desert areas, there are no mountainous areas, and the use of tracked infantry battlefields is somewhat wasteful, and wheeled infantry fighting vehicles are a good choice for us." ”

"In addition to infantry fighting vehicles, you actually need to update other weapons and equipment, Colonel, I have to mention the opinion, you only pay attention to the construction of the army, and you are too neglectful of the air force and navy!" Qusay said.

Hearing Qusay's words, Taha's heart tightened, Qusay is more than a dozen years younger than Gaddafi, educate Gaddafi in such a critical tone, should Gaddafi be angry? Even Sadat in Egypt once tactfully hinted that Gaddafi's character was a bit eccentric.

Who knows, hearing Qusay's words, Gaddafi smiled instead: "President Qusay, you are the god of war in the Middle East, and your knowledge must be very high, we have a large area of land in Libya, shouldn't we pay attention to the construction of the army?" ”

"Yes, Libya has a large area of land, but there are also infinite skies and long coastlines to protect, and you have also seen that in the recent wars in our Middle East, the struggle for air supremacy is necessary, for example, for the possible hostile forces in Libya, if they want to strike at Libya, will it be from the land or the sky?" Qusay asked.

Gaddafi, like Saddam Hussein, was also deeply influenced by the Continental Armyism, ignoring the construction of the Air Force, although there are a large number of fighters in Libya, but they are all backward second-generation fighters, Mirage 5, MiG-21, and MiG-23.

The Libyan Air Force was the first overseas user of the Mirage F1, before Iraq ordered the Mirage F1. In 1974, 20 "Mirage F1AD" and 6 "Mirage F1BD", as well as a large number of spare parts for the "Mirage" series, were ordered by Libya. However, deliveries of these "Mirage F1s" were delayed until 1978. At this time, this Mirage F1 is already lagging behind, much more backward than the Mirage F1 ordered by Iraq, especially in terms of radar, only the next batch of "Mirage F1ED" ordered by Libya is equipped with Celaeno IV-I radar, which is the same model as the one used by Iraq, but the total number is only a dozen.

Moreover, in the early eighties, because of Libya's intervention in Chad, which led to the reversal of France, these fighters have lost the maintenance of the French side, fortunately, Libya has stored a large number of spare parts, otherwise, these fighters will definitely not be able to take off.

Therefore, Qusay began to lobby Gaddafi, the Libyan Air Force, the equipment is outdated, and advanced fighters are needed to have enough advantages to defend Libya's airspace!

Libya's biggest enemy is probably the United States, and Gaddafi heard Qusay's words and knew what he was referring to, if the United States' powerful aircraft carrier group launched an attack on Libya, he really did not have the ability to resist the threat from the sky.

"We, Iraq, have a fighter that is very suitable for the Libyan Air Force." Qusay said. rq
