"Now Iraq's economy is developing rapidly, and the level of development makes us envious." Gromiko said: "Iraq is not just about exporting oil. Iraq is undergoing earth-shaking changes in other aspects, industry, economy, etc. Therefore, these 20 billion US dollars are nothing to Iraq. Especially, hasn't Iraq just increased its holdings of US 20 billion US dollars in government bonds recently?"

It's not a big deal? US Treasury bonds? Kusai said: "We in Iraq have relatively large investments in all aspects. It is a last resort to increase our holdings of US Treasury bonds. These 20 billion US dollars are not a small amount for us."

Everyone else was a little disappointed when he heard Kusai say this.

But then, Kusai said: "However, we Iraq and our Soviet friends maintain great friendship. If the Soviet friends need it, we Iraq will do our best to help the Soviet friends. But we have to know where you plan to use this fund?"

Two hundred billion US dollars is not a small amount. Kusai needs to know what these guys are doing. Because only these guys can stop Gorbachev's actions.

"President Kusai, as long as you can agree, we will not treat our friends unfairly." Bugaev said.

"What can I get?" Kusai asked.

"As far as we know, now in our country, there is an unidentified activity of people who export some of our scrap metals to help our economy develop," said Mortin.

When Kusai heard Mortin say this, his heart tightened, but there was no expression on his face. He knew that although the former KGB leader had already left the KGB, there were still many sources of intelligence. They knew about some of the smuggling activities carried out in the Soviet Union now.

Almost all of these are semi-public. Even the KGB is using its own system to quietly smuggle caviar to Europe for high prices, and smuggle European daily necessities back to the Soviet Union to seek huge profits.

There are more people smuggling weapons, and many people in the army are rushing, and some of them flow to the Middle East and Africa. The KGB must have known this, but Gorbachev is probably still kept in the dark.

Seeing that Kusai did not respond, Gromiko said: "We in the Soviet Union are now disarmament everywhere, and there are many kinds of scrap metals. Unfortunately, there is no sales channel. We are very willing to sell these useless scrap metals."

Gromiko's hint is enough, and they agree with Iraq's smuggling activities. If Iraq does not get the benefits, how can we be willing to invest huge sums of money in them?

Hearing Gromiko's words, Kusai's face slowly stretched out. If he could reach an agreement with these guys in front of him, then it would be much more convenient for Iraq to do anything from the Soviet Union. These people are still very powerful.

However, only these are the only ones, Kusai is not satisfied. He needs to test how much energy these people are.

“We are not interested in scrap metal,” Kusai said. “We are only interested in brand new metal.”

For those old guys, Kusai believed that it would be possible to do it with his own ability, and it would be even more troublesome to get these old guys involved. However, there are many things that Iraq cannot do and cannot be placed on the surface of the Soviet Union. This is the time to show the energy of these old guys.

Gromiko was very smart and understood what Kusai meant at once, and said, "President Kusai, in the Soviet Union, we can do what Gorbachev can do, but we can do what Gorbachev cannot do. As long as it is not a nuclear weapon, everything else is easy to say."

Kusai and Gorbachev have a very good relationship. If Kusai wants to enter their camp, they have to show their energy. This country is definitely not Gorbachev has the final say. Although Gorbachev is having a lot of fun now, their energy is definitely not worse than Gorbachev.

Because they control the vast middle and lower-level officials of the Soviet Union, and now, in various aspects, Gorbachev's goal is to continue to engage them and let those "democrats" outside the party join in, which will threaten their interests. Therefore, as long as they win over these people, Gorbachev's plan will not be implemented at all.

They all need funds to do all this, but now, Iraq is probably the only one who can provide them with enough funds.

In addition to this plan, they also have a more careful plan. From the 500,000 troops cut by Gorbachev, they secretly organized a special force of about 100 people, which would be a sufficient force to influence the political situation when necessary.

Although Gorbachev changed all the military high-level officials, the middle and lower-level officers were still under their control, especially the laid-off officers were very unwilling. At this time, it was not difficult to stand up and organize them. Gorbachev definitely didn't know about their actions below.

They did this for the Soviets! Gromiko had experienced so many ups and downs and knew how serious the situation in the Soviet Union was now. Gorbachev wanted to mobilize the power of the people, and he was playing with fire and self-harm. The entire Soviet Union is full of ambitious people.

These plans all require large amounts of funds. It is reasonable to make certain transactions with Iraq in order to obtain this funds. After all, Iraq is a friendly country of the Soviet Union and has deep conflicts with the United States. This time it is an example.

With the help of Iraq's funds, we will survive this Soviet crisis!

However, the price to achieve their goals is definitely not small, because Iraq will definitely not give them 20 billion US dollars in vain unless they pay enough.

Originally, they planned to give the extra equipment from the laid-off troops to Iraq at a low price, but now it seems that this obviously did not impress Kusai.

What does he want?

Of course, Kusai has something to want, and this time, it is a great opportunity.

Carrier-based fighter jets!

So far, although Iraq has provided huge funds to the Soviet Union and the aircraft carriers built by the Soviet Union for Iraq are progressing smoothly, the carrier-based aircraft that are equipped with aircraft carriers are progressing slowly.

Of course, it cannot be considered slow. With the full support of Iraqi funds, Iraq's aircraft carriers are progressing smoothly. Moreover, at the Nitka Training Center, the development of Soviet catapults is also being accelerated. However, Iraq still has a key problem, and the carrier-based aircraft has not solved it.

Now, the people from the Sukhoi Design Bureau have been working hard to solve the problem of taking off from the ski jump deck, and they have not put any effort into the catapult takeoff project.

At the beginning, in order to make the strategy of voyage to Southeast Asia, the Soviet Union made assimilation of the Iraqi Navy a key direction and agreed to export it to the Iraqi Navy. At that time, Defense Minister Sergei, strongly agreed.

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

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

However, the current Sukhoi Design Bureau has not invested any effort to strengthen the Su-27K's front landing gear and re-calculate the stress calculation so that it can meet the requirements of ejection takeoff. Not only the Su-27K, but even the Su-25 and Sukhoi Design Bureau have not made any improvements.

They are still quarreling with each other. The shipyards have already tended to be the opinion of the aircraft carrier design bureau, hoping to be equipped with catapults. Moreover, nuclear-powered aircraft carriers have begun to be built and need to be ejected and taken off. However, designers from the aircraft design bureau are resisting. They are not interested in allowing their own aircraft to be ejected and taken off.

When the Soviet Union collapsed, Kusai dug back a large number of engineers to research supporting catapults for his aircraft carriers. At that time, the daylily was cold. He had to start now. Before the Soviet Union collapsed, he could take back the carrier-based aircraft that satisfies the catapult and takeoff!

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

Among these people, Sergei and Bugaev were the ones who knew the most. With an aircraft carrier, Iraq would obviously not be satisfied with the only one Su-25 fighter. However, I didn’t expect that Iraq would propose it in this way.

Su-27K!

Even the Su-27 was only equipped with troops in 1985. So far, it has only been more than three years, so it is almost impossible to export this fighter to Iraq. The Su-27K is a carrier-based aircraft modified based on the Su-27. Since the first 11435 has not yet been in service, this modified fighter has not landed on the aircraft carrier deck. In other words, the Soviet Navy is not equipped now.

Iraq actually wants such fighter jets, and it is simply impossible for it to take forty one at a time.

However, if you don’t agree to Kusai’s request, then you won’t be able to get the Iraqi funds. Maybe Kusai will turn to Gorbachev. Gorbachev, that guy, is thinking about funds in his mind, and he may agree.

If you don't agree, then Gromiko just stated that in the Soviet Union, their group could do everything, which would be in vain. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe to (this site) and give me rewards. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
