Babylonian Empire

Later generations commented on Bush Sr. There is a classic saying that Bush Sr. was elated when he faced military policy, but he yawned when he dealt with the economy.

Now, the U.S. economy is not very optimistic, but Bush seems to be deliberately forgetting all of this. One of the most urgent things for him now is to deal with the problems in the Middle East. When the threat of the Soviet Union has gradually faded away, the U.S. energy problem , has become the biggest problem in the United States.

Bush firmly believes that he is doing the right thing.

However, how to subvert Saudi Arabia is not an easy task.

The Saudi royal family has been able to rule in Saudi Arabia for decades, and it has already been deeply rooted, especially the army, which is firmly in the hands of its own family.It is definitely not that easy for the CIA to infiltrate.

William's mind was thinking rapidly, if they could not control the army, their plan would definitely be aborted.However, the Saudi army cannot be controlled by them, which is unsolvable.

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility.

Now, the war in Afghanistan is over. In the war in Afghanistan, in order to oppose the Soviet Union, many Arabs went to the battlefield. In Saudi Arabia, there were also many young boys who were very indignant at the aggression of the Soviet Union and went to the battlefield in Afghanistan.

Now, with the withdrawal of the Soviet Union, they have also left Afghanistan one after another and returned to Saudi Arabia.

Since the United States has always supported the cause of the liberation of the Afghan people, the American personnel have maintained a good relationship with these guerrillas, and many of them are Saudis.

And these people, after returning to Saudi Arabia, received a heroic welcome. They have a very high image in the hearts of the Saudis. Many of them returned with weapons and have not turned them in. It is said that the Saudi government intends to incorporate them into the army. Fang, these people have been on the battlefield and are very effective.

Among these people, there must be people that the United States wants!

Chapter 28 Developing Military Strength

The external environment has become increasingly unstable, especially the performance of the Soviet Union, which made Qusay feel a sense of crisis. Therefore, Iraq's military power, which he is most concerned about, has been rapidly improving.

In future wars, naval battles will be the most important. In this regard, Iraq has also begun to make great progress. After a period of application, Iraq is very satisfied with the performance of the AIP system developed by Sweden. Although the maximum power is insufficient, but, It has been possible to allow the TR-1700 submarine to sail quietly underwater for more than ten days without needing to surface for ventilation.

Therefore, after converting four TR-1700 submarines into AIP submarines, Iraq ordered four new submarines from Sweden, eight submarines, which will allow the Iraqi Navy's underwater power to reach a new height.

In addition to these submarines, Adelina tried her best to prepare a real nuclear submarine from the Soviet Union.

As for the water power, the main force of Iraq now is the two modern-class and fearless-class ships with a displacement of more than [-] tons.With these two warships as the core, four Hedden-class escorts, plus a dozen advanced missile boats, and naval aviation.Such a force can already patrol the Arabian Sea under the protection of naval aviation.

Iraqi naval personnel, on the other hand, took turns to intern on two Soviet-made warships. Iraq has trained a large number of naval personnel, and many personnel have also gone to Western European countries for training to gain first-class sailing experience.After Iraq has trained enough personnel, it is waiting to receive a large number of Soviet warships later.

Although Iraq has only ordered these two warships and the aircraft carrier now, Qusay has already planned for the Iraqi Navy. Ships, forming one or two aircraft carrier formations.

Although Iraq has not ordered it now, when the Soviet Union disintegrates, a large number of their warships will face the fate of being eliminated, and that is the best chance for the Iraqi Navy to grow.

Therefore, Iraq now needs to train enough naval personnel, which is the most important thing.

Iraq's economy is also developing rapidly. With the construction and improvement of various industries, Iraq began to export various industrial products to the surrounding Arab brother countries.

The railway from Iraq, passing through Iran, and reaching Palestine also began to be built during the [-]th period. At the same time, Qusay also began to contact the eastern powers to discuss the railway from Islamabad to Lanzhou. , From Iraq, you can take a train to the great eastern country.

As the ties between Iraq and the eastern powers are getting closer, the J-[-] project will greatly shorten the close relationship between the two countries, including defense projects. When the Soviet Union collapses, one of the potential enemies of the United States will be the Middle East , and the other is the big eastern country, which uses the Taiwan issue to suppress the big eastern country.

Therefore, the construction of this railway will allow the exchanges between the two countries to avoid sea routes, and it can avoid the attention of the Americans when transporting certain secret materials.

It's a pity that private capital is not allowed to enter the railways of the big eastern countries. Otherwise, Qusay would really like to be funded by Iraq, and then use the profits after the operation of the railways to pay off the debts.

Time is running out for Iraq, and every second must be raced.

Iraq now has great scientific research capabilities. One of the key points of their scientific research work is the research on how to discover and eliminate stealth aircraft.

Qusay knows that at present, the F-117 of the United States has begun to complete the equipment of troops and has combat capability.In the later Gulf War, the sky of Iraq was first opened by F-117.

Afterwards, the F-117's battle example created a myth that it seemed to come and go without a trace, fly through the enemy's sky without anyone noticing, and drop bombs.Until later in the Yugoslavia, the halberd fell into the sand, and a fight was laid down.

Stealth aircraft is not invulnerable. It is only designed for stealth in a specific band, that is, the microwave band commonly used by radar. For meter wave radar, it is impossible to conceal its whereabouts.

However, because the wavelength of the meter wave radar is too long, the equipment is bulky, and the accuracy is not high, so it cannot be precisely positioned.

Therefore, the current research direction of Iraq is to place multiple meter wave radars in corresponding positions, and then, through the computer network, synthesize the signals detected by each radar, so that the influence of insufficient precision can be eliminated. It is very difficult, because the precision is high enough to guide the Sam-11 air defense missiles equipped in Iraq.What they need is not only to be able to detect the stealth aircraft, but also to kill it!

Two months ago, the F-117A was publicly unveiled at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada, USA. Almost everyone who saw the shape of this aircraft would be amazed at this sci-fi aircraft.The U.S. Air Force claims that any place in the world is the airspace it can fly into.

Another piece of news that made Qusay happy was that Sweden's active sky flash missile had finally completed its research and development and was successfully finalized.

In later generations, after several twists and turns, this missile was finally reborn from Nirvana and became the famous Meteor missile. However, it was already more than ten years later.

Originally, according to history, this missile was jointly developed by the United Kingdom and Sweden. However, the United Kingdom withdrew from the development of the missile due to lack of funds, and Sweden still appreciated this missile. However, in * * years, their main force After the fighter jet, the Gripen prototype crashed because of the problem of the fly-by-wire system, they had to spend a lot of effort to solve the problem of the Gripen. The Swedish Ministry of Defense canceled the investment in this missile and turned it into an independent project of Saab. To the market, it attracted funds from Germany, France, Italy, Spain and other countries, and finally became a Meteor missile that uses a ramjet engine and has a range of more than [-] kilometers.

Due to Qusay's crossing, the fate of this missile has also changed. This active sky flash missile has been released and has become the main equipment of the Swedish Air Force and the Iraqi Air Force.

Iraq's own sky flash missile production line has begun to improve. When the contract was signed, Iraq needed to produce independently, including internal electronic equipment. Now, Iraq already has a chip factory, which can be used as an OEM to let Europe Sheng company to help produce these key equipment.

From then on, Iraq began to stop the production of passive sky flash missiles, and invested in this active sky flash missile at full speed.The equipment of the Iraqi Air Force has reached a world-class advanced level. The medium-range active sky flash missile and the short-range R-73 missile fired off the axis allow them to start fighting against the advanced fighter jets of the United States. There are enough advantages.

After completing the finalization of this missile, Saab hopes to continue to carry out the "agile active sky flash" program, adopting a wingless layout and "tail control" technology, that is, only using the tail to control the maneuvering of the rudder surface, which can greatly improve The Iraqi side continued to participate in the development of these projects and invested a certain amount of funds for the mobility of the missiles and the long-range missile program using ramjet engines.

However, when Sweden invited Iraq to participate in their Gripen project, it was politely rejected by Iraq, and Iraq did not need to repeat the development of a light fighter.

And the other one, Iraq provided the Il-76 airframe, and the modified Ericsson God Eye early warning aircraft has undergone rigorous tests and overcome various technical problems. This aircraft will finally end its test flight and finally enter the Iraqi Air Force service.

After the test by the Iraqi Air Force, the other several early warning aircraft will be partially refitted in Sweden and partially in Iraq to complete the replacement of Iraq's early warning aircraft. If this type of early warning aircraft can meet the needs of Iraq, Iraq will In the end, about ten such early warning machines will be equipped.

In addition to large-scale equipment, Qusay is also very concerned about the main equipment.

The current individual weapons in Iraq are mainly the domestically-made Tabuk assault rifle, which is produced by a full set of M70 gun family production lines introduced by Iraq from Yugoslavia, which is the Yugoslav version of the AKM.

Including 7.62mm assault rifles, 5.56mm assault rifles, 7.62mm sniper rifles, etc., produced by the Iraqi National Arsenal.

However, Qusay is not very satisfied with the performance of this rifle. Although Soviet rifles have advantages such as durability and powerful firepower, they also have many weaknesses. They are bulky, equipped with infrared sights, grenade launchers, and tactical flashlights. It is difficult to wait for the attachments of firearms, the accuracy is poor, and so on.

Regardless of the army of any country, the army is still the largest in number, and it is also the one that faces the greatest threat of death on the battlefield. Reliable individual weapons are very necessary for soldiers who go to the battlefield.

After careful screening, Qusay decided to upgrade his own small arms production line and introduce a new assault rifle: the M940 series assault rifle developed by East Germany.

This rifle was developed by the East German military on the basis of the Soviet-made AK74. Thanks to the continuous development of new materials, compared with the original assault rifle, it uses a large number of lightweight non-metal engineering composite materials without reducing the AK. The series of rifles are sturdy and durable, and the accuracy is greatly improved; and it is a universal modular design, including standard type, short burst type, sniper type, light machine gun type and other series; it can also be installed lightly and add Picatinny rails , infrared sight, tactical flashlight, grenade launcher and other firearm accessories.

After negotiations between Iraq and East Germany, the production line of this rifle was finally introduced to Iraq, and the main force of the Iraqi army will gradually replace it with this world-advanced first-class assault rifle.

In 19**, it was always calm on the surface, but there were constant turmoil and conspiracy in the interior.With the rapid development of its own military power, Iraq stands on the land of the Middle East with an attitude of unchanging and adapting to all changes.A turbulent dark wave is slowly attacking.

Chapter One Thousand and Twenty-nine

In September 1989, in Jeddah, a city along the Red Sea, in a luxurious villa.

On the leather sofa, a man wearing an Arabian towel and an Arabian robe was smiling at his guests.He has already grown a beard, and due to long-term exposure to the sun and wind, his complexion has already become very pale, and there are still crumbs of dry and cracked skin on it, but he looks more energetic.

"Mr. Osama, I am very glad that we meet again." His guest, an American with a high nose, said, "Now, the hateful Soviet invaders have finally withdrawn from Afghanistan, and you have a lot of credit here."

"Yes," Osama said with great emotion upon hearing this sentence, "After ten years, our Afghan compatriots have finally won the victory against the invaders."

If the Soviet Union hadn't invaded Afghanistan, then Osama's life trajectory would definitely have been different.On the battlefield in Afghanistan where death is always threatened at any time, he has escaped several times and has rich combat experience, which makes him different from ordinary Saudis. His eyes are clear and sharp. Only those who crawled out of the dead can have eyes. At the age of 30, he now exudes the charm of a mature man.
