Chapter 340 1000-horsepower engine
The 6td engine is a 6-cylinder 1,000-horsepower tank engine developed by the Soviet Kharkov Engine Design Bureau in 1974-1979 in five years. This is a two-stroke, water-cooled, horizontal cylinder and opposite piston and using turbocharged technology. It is improved from the 5td diesel engine used on the T-55 tank. (Another commonly used type is the V-cylinder layout)
In 1979, the T-64a tank that installed the 6td engine successfully passed the test, and experiments proved that it had greatly improved its maneuverability. In October of that year, the 6td engine was recommended to enter mass production. Since the 6td engine and the 5tdf engine have quite a lot of similarities in design, it is relatively easy to establish a 6td engine mass production line, and it is very suitable in terms of technology and cost. Therefore, within a few years, all the Soviet T-64 tanks were upgraded and renovated to the 6td engine.
However, since the t-72 is a low-end tank, there is no plan to use the t-72 as such engine.
However, Zhang Feng was very interested in this kind of engine, because after improvement, this kind of engine could easily reach a power of 1,200 horsepower, which was the standard power of later main battle tanks.
Using this engine to drive the T-72 tank is a bit useless, but Zhang Feng knew that the T-72 tank must be modified when it comes to his own hands. The weight will increase and the maneuverability will decrease. In this way, it is very important to increase the horsepower. Although there are many advanced tank powers in this era. For example, the German Mtu, the power of Western countries is too expensive and very delicate, and the Russian engines are more powerful.
Moreover, when Iraq develops the next generation of main battle tanks on its own, it will not be stuck in power. After the production line of this tank engine is introduced together, it is definitely very cost-effective for us.
Therefore, this negotiation must be more firm, because this is also a relatively advanced motivation for the Russians. Will the Russians sell it?
The only good thing is that this kind of thing is not a main armor and tank gun that needs to be kept confidential, so there is still a lot of room for negotiation.
"His Excellency Kusai, this kind of engine is not yet mature. We just tested it and are undergoing testing." Nicholas began to take a sloppy eye.
"Is that true?" Zhang Feng said: "Can I visit your country's armored soldiers? I really want to see what the engine looks like in the belly of the t-64 tank."
Foreign Minister Goromiko saw that this time he had missed something. He knew everything, so how could he fool him?
Goromiko said: "His Excellency Kusai, this engine is definitely still very immature now. We have always supported friendly Iraq. However, this tank engine must not be qualified to export in the General Administration of Engineering, so I am very sorry..."
"Then we can wait until we can obtain export qualifications and introduce them together." Zhang Feng said.
As soon as he said this, it was equivalent to saying that this contract would probably be delayed, which made several Soviets present very dissatisfied.
The Soviet Union had always had the final say in its own way. Even if it was treated very generously this time, the other party would still make endless provisions. If it weren't for the fact that it was explained by Secretary Gorbachev and he was a celebrity around General Secretary Andropov, they wouldn't have been so polite.
At the current Soviet Union's top leaders, they are also very familiar with their background. Everyone wants to get Gorbachev's nepotism. Gorbachev brought back a large order last time when he visited Iraq. This is a very remarkable achievement. Even the General Secretary likes it very much. If it is screwed up in their hands, it will be difficult to deal with.
Finally, the old man next to him said, "Hisser Kousai, there is really no export license for this kind of engine. However, we can report it to our superiors. Maybe it will be approved soon. You will live in Moscow in the past few days. How about it?"
"Okay, but, I have long admired the reputation of the Lower Tagir Design Bureau of the great Soviet Republic. Can you visit your design bureau in these few days?" Zhang Feng asked.
Hearing this, Kartsev said, "No problem!" This way, you can promote your own design bureau's products. In addition to the t-72, there are other tracked vehicles.
During this talk, Zhang Feng did not mention buying a large computer because he was not sure. What excuses should be used to find? What kind of person does it require skills.
After the talks, Zhang Feng returned to the place that the embassy had prepared long ago. He did not choose the Moscow International Hotel prepared for the Soviet Union, but lived in the embassy.
The KGB in the Soviet Union was omnipresent, especially on its own territory. Zhang Feng could know that no matter which hotel he stayed in, there would be countless eavesdropping machines inside.
Therefore, he chose the embassy's own room. His reason was that Iraq still needed to save money during the war, and living in those luxurious rooms required money.
I thought it was very safe, but I also had my own personnel checked it. However, when the translator Ajelina took action personally, she found a wiretap device that had been arranged in a secret place.
It seems that the KGB is really giving face. If it weren't for this agent who came out of the KGB, he wouldn't have discovered it.
However, Zhang Feng also gave face to choose to remain silent and let the eavesdropping device stay here, so that the Soviet Union would feel more at ease.
Of course, you should pay more attention when speaking.
For example, now, Zhang Feng said with great emotion: "Ajelina, I really didn't expect that your Russian language would be so good!"
Of course, this is the native language. However, Ajelina's role is a reporter from AFP's Middle East. She is normal in Arabic and can also speak Russian proficiently. This is a science.
"As your translator, of course I have to know all kinds of languages. I will translate it for you wherever you go!" Ajielina said with affection.
"What if it was an indigenous language in Africa?" Zhang Feng asked.
"Then I do, too!"
"Then you marry a woman who is a chief in that place!"
"you!…"
Listening to the flirting voice, the KGB agents in charge of monitoring were finally relieved.
Putin was in a good mood. When he heard the conversation between the two translated by the monitor, it seemed that Sharapova's mission was completed very well.
…………
Southeast Iran, the port of Chahbahar.
This port, outside the Persian Gulf, is on the northern shore of the Arabian Sea.
Geographically speaking, it is very far away from Tehran, and this port at this time is not the large container port in later generations, it is just a small port with very limited transportation capacity.
So, Kauber was very surprised why Iran chose such a port to conduct transactions.
Originally, he planned to air-ship the goods to Tehran directly, which was very convenient, and in the past, he did this.
But this time, the Iranians firmly disagree.
Therefore, after transporting the cargo from the United States to Pakistan by plane, Kaube transported the cargo to the port of Chahbahar by ship.
Tehran is very cautious and of course he cannot agree with Kauber's plan.
At present, the hijacked passenger plane is still on the runway. If the American plane carrying cargo also lands at Tehran Airport, the plane is not full of cargo, but US special forces, then it will pose a great threat to the hijacked passenger plane.
Now, the United States has suffered such a big loss under the threat of Iran. Who knows whether the other party is true or false? After careful research, Khomeini finally decided to let the transaction place be here.
First, let the other party transport the cargo to this port by ship, and then use the Iranian Air Force's own transport plane to Tehran. Although it took a while, it reduced the danger to a minimum. Moreover, it was not on the front line of Iran and Iran and would not be disturbed.
They didn't know that doing this would actually have another unexpected benefit: they avoided the surveillance of His Excellency Satankusai in Iraq!
Since Zhang Feng learned that Iran was the real behind this hijacking, Zhang Feng began to let the Messiha Bureau turn his attention here, because Zhang Feng, who has grasped the pulse of history, knew that the only way for the United States to rescue the hostages was to exchange weapons, which was also Khomeini's wish.
If the United States provides weapons to Iran, Iraq will suffer a great loss!
Therefore, you must stop the other party’s transactions!
Zhang Feng also knew that in this incident, Israel would play a protagonist, and the United States could not directly contact Khomeini, and it was conveyed through Israel. The weapons and equipment were transported to Israel first and then transported by Israel. Therefore, the Messiha Bureau mobilized a large number of forces to monitor these places.
However, he absolutely did not expect that Iran was so cautious that he did not allow the other party's plane to enter its own airspace, but went thousands of miles and took the water route!
No matter how wide the Massica Bureau's vision is, it will never leave the Persian Gulf and run to the junction with Pakistan to monitor the sea and ports.
The goods delivered this time include 24 Iranians' much-needed Immortal Missiles, F-14 fighter parts, 200 Tau anti-tank missiles, and other weapons from the Bavire Dynasty seized by the United States.
With these goods, this hijacking incident will definitely be perfectly solved! Kauber thought.
Unexpectedly, his idea was too simple, and this was just the beginning.
Khomeini's appetite is also very big. With the first one, there will be a second and third time. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian() to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
