Babylonian Empire

But now, the Soviet Union is shrinking across the board. Gorbachev has no interest in the expansion of the Red Empire. The newly appointed Minister of Defense completely obeys Gorbachev's strategy. The so-called assimilation of the Iraqi Navy is actually gone now. It's over.Sergey also accepted this status quo.

In this case, all the conditions are met. Iraq's carrier-based aircraft must not only have the Su-25, but the Su-27K.

However, the current Sukhoi Design Bureau has not invested any energy in strengthening the front landing gear of the Su-27K and re-calculating the stress so that it can meet the requirements for missile launch. Not only the Su-27K, but even the Su-25K -[-], the Sukhoi Design Bureau did not improve it.

They are still arguing with each other. The shipyard has leaned towards the opinion of the aircraft carrier design bureau, hoping to equip it with catapults. Moreover, the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier has already started construction, and it needs catapults to take off.However, the designers of the aircraft design bureau were resisting.They are not interested in making their own planes able to catapult and take off.

When the Soviet Union disintegrated, Qusay recruited a large number of engineers to research supporting ammunition for his own aircraft carrier. At that time, the day lily was cold, so he had to start working now. The carrier-based aircraft that took off received it back!

"We need forty Su-27Ks." Qusay said, looking at these old guys.

Among these people, Sergei and Bugayev are the clearest.With an aircraft carrier in Iraq, it is obvious that it will not be satisfied with only the Su-25 fighter, but it was unexpected that Iraq would propose it in this way.

Su-27K!

Even if it is only the Su-27, it was only in 85 that the troops were gradually equipped. Up to now, it has only been more than three years. It is almost impossible to export this kind of fighter jet to Iraq.The Su-27K is a carrier-based aircraft modified on the basis of the Su-27. Since the first 11435 has not yet entered service, this modified fighter has not landed on the deck of an aircraft carrier.In other words, the Soviet Navy has no equipment now.

It is simply impossible for Iraq to want this kind of fighter plane, and to return [-] of them at once.

However, if Qusay's request is not agreed to, then it is impossible to get the funds from Iraq. Maybe Qusay will turn to Gorbachev, that guy Gorbachev is thinking Funding, on the contrary, may agree.

If you don't agree, then Gromyko just stated that in the Soviet Union, their group is omnipotent, and it will be in vain.

Chapter 22 Guidance

"President Qusay..." Sergey was about to say, but was interrupted by Gromyko: "Forty Su-27Ks, we can still do it. Let the Komsomolsk Aircraft Factory manufacture a batch of Su-27Ks." -[-]K, there is no problem at all, we have to equip it to the front-line aviation unit before it can be transferred to the Iraqi Air Force."

Most of this heavy-duty air superiority fighters are produced at the Komsomolsk Aircraft Factory. Because of the large number of military orders, they were also handed over to the Irkutsk Aircraft Factory.

At the same time, Qusay also knew that in later generations, the Komsomolsk Aircraft Factory produced more than 20 Su-27K fighter jets for the Soviet Navy, all of which were in the Ukrainian Nitka Training Center. As a result, when the Soviet Union disintegrated, these aircraft became Ukrainian property, not to mention aircraft, even the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier was almost left in the Black Sea. If the deputy commander of the Russian Navy at the time hadn't personally escorted it, it must have belonged to Ukraine.

Although the aircraft carrier was snatched, there was no carrier-based aircraft. As a result, this huge warship stayed alone in the port for several years, and occasionally went out. It was not until 94 that Russia fully equipped their aircraft carrier. The carrier aircraft, these new Su-27Ks, are also produced by the Komsomolsk Aircraft Factory.

Gromyko promised to produce a batch for Iraq at this aircraft factory. As long as it is arranged, there is no problem. The Komsomolsk Aircraft Factory has a large production capacity, and the annual output of Su-27 is 60 to 80 Therefore, it is more realistic to produce a batch of Su-27K for Iraq in a few years.

After hearing Gromyko's answer, Sergey couldn't help but said: "We haven't completed the finalized test flight of this fighter yet."

Now, the Su-27K has not taken off and landed on the aircraft carrier, so it cannot be regarded as having completed the finalized test flight. Therefore, the formal production has not yet started.However, it has repeatedly taken off and landed on the Nitka simulation deck, and it is far from being practical, so there are not many technical problems to be solved.

Gromyko is not in charge of the military, and is not familiar with these specific situations.

Hearing what Sergey said, he realized that he had just bluffed.Gromyko was about to explain with this reason when Qusay spoke again.

"We don't want this kind of fighter right now. We just need to start receiving it one after another after 90 years. At the same time, we can also improve the Su-27K during this period of time so that it can adapt to missile launch. , Sukhoi Design Bureau should be able to do this," Qusay said.

It is useless to ask for Iraq now. Taking advantage of this period of time, it is a key point to let the Sukhoi Design Bureau work hard to solve the problem of projectile take-off.Iraq can't want a fighter plane that can only take off with a ski jump. It is too uneconomical to invest in a huge equipment catapult launcher that can only launch a few pre-warning aircraft.

After receiving it in the 90s, there are still two years to go, and the Sukhoi Design Bureau, Gromyko is sure that his influence is not bad, there is no problem that the Soviet military industry cannot solve, and, if this condition is agreed, it has already It is enough to explain their energy in the Soviet Union.

Smuggling new fighter jets, the Su-27, the main force of the Soviet Air Force, is probably only possible for them.

Thinking of the Iraqi Navy, there will be a brand-new Su-27K carrier-based aircraft. As the main force of the carrier-based aviation force, the powerful naval power that Iraq has always dreamed of building has become a reality step by step. Qusay feels very satisfied for this trip. .

200 billion, for Iraq, this is a huge amount of money. If this huge amount of money is used to purchase carrier-based aircraft, the life-time cost of introducing Rafale from France will not be so much. However, this cannot be considered only in terms of funds. .

For the benefit of Iraq, the Soviet Union must postpone the disintegration, and the way to postpone the disintegration of the Soviet Union is to prevent Gorbachev's immature political reforms that will cause turmoil in the Soviet Union. In this regard, only these elders have Enough energy to stop Gorbachev's actions.

As long as the Soviet Union exists, Iraq is not the main enemy of the United States. If the Soviet Union disintegrates and the United States dominates, Iraq's external situation will greatly deteriorate.For example, this time the Arab countries have thrown out a plan for a joint currency. If it is a unipolar world in later generations, I am afraid that this maritime conflict will evolve into a real war.

It is undoubtedly very worthwhile to use the 200 billion U.S. dollars to exchange for Iraq's international environment for several years.

Moreover, after working with these people from the Elders, it will be easier for Iraq to obtain the weapons it needs from the Soviet Union. Even the Su-27K, they are willing to provide it to them. Then, Sam-10, large ground effect aircraft, etc. All kinds of weapons will be obtained continuously.It is difficult for Iraq to smuggle these things over.

"To help my old friend from the Soviet Union, we in Iraq are willing to provide an interest-free loan with an unlimited repayment period," Qusay said.

An interest-free loan with an unlimited repayment period is the same as a free gift. In the future, if they have it, they will return it to Iraq. If they don't, the repayment will be postponed indefinitely.The others were delighted to hear Qusay say that, with enough money, they could take on Gorbachev.

"The first billion dollars of funds will arrive within a few days." Qu Sai said: "However, I would like to ask, how do you plan to deal with the current problem?"

It is impossible for Qusay to say that all 200 billion U.S. dollars will be handed over to these old guys. At that time, it is possible for these old guys to shake Qusay away.Only transfer them in batches.Moreover, many good things from the Soviet Union still need the help of these veterans to get them to Iraq.Iraq can smuggle weapons that are already equipped with troops, but they can't do anything with those that are not in production, for example, Caspian sea monsters!

Moreover, Qu Sai really wanted to know how these old guys planned to arrange it. Now that he is considered as the main partner, he should have the right to know the inside story, right?

The old guys looked at each other, and after a long time, Gromyko spoke up: "We need to use this fund to make government officials at all levels follow our command and completely evade Gorbachev's power. .”

Gromyko could neither tell the whole story nor deceive Qusay, so he only told a small part.

Taking the bottom line, Qusay knew that these veterans had great energy, and now Gorbachev's reforms would obviously hurt the interests of these officials, so Gromyko's plan should be realized.

However, Gromyko forgot an important point, people's hearts!

In the current Soviet Union, the people have been bewitched, the society is turbulent, and the factors of restlessness are gradually increasing. Sometimes, these situations are even more dangerous.

"Everyone, I would like to make a suggestion to everyone. If you think it is more feasible, you can try it." Qu Sai said.

Old people have rich experience, but it doesn't mean they can have the best plan. Don't they know that political ideas come from the barrel of a gun?

"President Qusay, please speak," Gromyko said.

"Now, the people of the Soviet Union have begun to feel dissatisfied. Under such circumstances, there may also be ideological surges within the army. Since you have a large number of people in zhèngfǔ institutions, then in the army, you must also With good personnel, let them firmly control the army and play a key role when necessary." Qusay said: "The main problem is to carry out ideological education within the army and not be influenced by outsiders. "

"President Qusay, what do you mean?" Sergey asked. Obviously, Qusay meant that at critical times, they could even use force to force Gorbachev to step down?

"I don't mean anything." These guys are old fritters, and they are unwilling to let themselves be blamed. They must have their own ideas about what they can do.

What Qusay said made Gromyko very interested. This newcomer who rose from the Middle East really had a sophisticated look. In fact, he also had this idea in his heart.

"There is one more crucial point." Qu Sai continued: "Right now, various trends are surging in the society, among them, some people's malicious provocations, including the support of foreign forces, are among them. The ulterior purpose of inciting the emotions of the ignorant people should be firmly stopped."

Hearing this, Gromyko's heart visibly moved. He hadn't thought of this!

If things go on like this, the Soviet Union may experience turmoil, and this is certainly not simple. The support of foreign forces, of course, refers to the United States. The United States took advantage of Gorbachev's blindly weak policy and began to gradually erode the Soviet Union.

"President Qusay, you are very right, so how should we deal with it?" Gromyko asked.

With decades of experience, Gromyko is definitely not someone who asks others how to do it and then executes it himself. He already has a whole set of ideas. Now, asking Qusay how to do it is already very important to Qusay. .

"How should we deal with maliciously inciting people and provoking incidents?" Qusay asked rhetorically.

"Prisoner, but Gorbachev also encouraged these behaviors," Morgin said.

"Besides going to jail, there are other ways." Qusay said, wouldn't it be better to let those people disappear?Don't they even see that?

"The public needs to be guided by public opinion. Controlling several media outlets, especially newspapers within the party, can play a key role in positive publicity," Qusay continued.

Gorbachev is advocating freedom of speech, which will stimulate all kinds of thoughts, and positive publicity is also necessary.Especially within oneself.Win enough popular support to suppress the flow of various heresy theories.

Gromyko felt that in his mind, the train of thought began to become clearer.A more detailed plan gradually formed.
