Chapter 437 Silkworm Missile
Kusai returned to his villa in Baghdad. During this period, he spent almost all of his time in the Ministry of Defense...
It is not that easy to become a country leader. Kusai lamented some of God's injustice. If he wanted to travel through time and become a member of the royal family in Saudi or Kuwait, the most worrying thing every day is how to spend money, how good it would be!
It was a powder barrel Iraq.
It was during the Iran-Iraq War, and my father was inexplicably poisoned and was still in a coma.
Although Kusai was very upset when he saw some of Saddam's actions, Kusai is now holding on to power and also feels the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
At the same time, he became more enterprising, taking down the land of the Iranians, completely defeating Iran, weakening their potential for war, and turning Iran into a tamed little lamb. This is what he must do and is also the first step for Iraq to become a world power.
Now, the situation of war is finally developing in the predetermined direction. After sending off Prince Fahd, Kusai finally got time to go home and have some rest.
"His Excellency Kusai." At this time, Yurid came to report.
As the secret power of Kusai, Yurid does not often appear in the Palace of Republic. He usually comes to Kusai’s official residence to report.
Kusai saw Yurid and said, "Is there anything wrong with it?"
"Our people have gained something in Japan."
Japan? Kusai then remembered an activity he ordered Yurid to carry out a few months ago.
"How is it?" asked Kusai.
"The other party has agreed. We pay $4 million to buy two sets of processing equipment and two mainframe computers." Yurid replied.
Kusai nodded with satisfaction, good! What a great start!
"The equipment will arrive within one month. Toshiba will arrange technicians to help us install and debug," said Yurid.
"Okay, this thing is done well!" Kusai was very satisfied. Now, the development of nuclear weapons is because there is no large computer. It can only be tweaked on medium-sized machines. The progress is slow. With the arrival of these two computers, they can speed up.
And those two processing equipment will greatly promote Iraq's industrial level, which is a five-axis linked machine tool! Think about the F20 production line purchased by the United States, which is still using the old-fashioned lathe controlled by electronic tube computers. With these two lathes, many parts can be processed more accurately and quickly, and the production line of the f404 engine is even more so.
Unexpectedly, Toshiba was caught by itself and got it so easily.
If there are ten years left, Kusai will not be relieved. The development of electronic technology will lead to many new technologies. For example, the other party will install an additional part to its machine tool. Now it works normally. They will operate this thing remotely to greatly reduce the accuracy of the machine tool, and the mainframe will continuously leak secrets.
Unfortunately, electronic technology is just beginning to be a period of vigorous development and has not reached that height. Kusai is standing at this starting line and preparing to compete for this technological commanding height.
Toshiba Company, don’t think you will develop as quickly as you will be in your infancy. I will definitely kill you! Kusai made up his mind.
"There is another thing," Yurid said: "The intelligence personnel who are operating in Iran have collected enough evidence that Iran has introduced J-7 fighter jets, 69 tanks, and an anti-ship missile from China. There are very few J-7 fighter jets and 69 tanks left, but the anti-ship missiles have not been hit."
Anti-ship missile? Kusai asked: "Can you know what model it is?"
"The specific model is unknown, but our personnel have observed that the volume is relatively swollen and should not be the model we equipped with." Yurid said.
If it is relatively swollen, it is naturally a Chinese silkworm. Kusai finally knew that due to his own travel, the progress of the Iranian War was obviously very different from history. This kind of missile has arrived in the hands of the Iranians several years in advance.
In the historical Iran-Iraq War, Iran and Iraq both purchased large quantities of weapons from China, including J-7 fighter jets, 69 tanks, and anti-ship missiles. However, the difference is that Iraq did not choose silkworm missiles because Iraq already has advanced legal flying fish missiles and looks down on this thing. On the contrary, Iran was deceived and purchased a large number of such missiles.
The silkworm anti-ship missile is a Soviet 544 missile imitated by China, with the domestic number Seahawk 2 (c201, improved type c601). In the world's anti-ship missile has long entered the stage of solid engines. This missile that uses Soviet technology in the 1950s still uses a liquid engine, resulting in huge size and short appearance, like a chubby silkworm, so it was named the silkworm missile by NATO.
This kind of missile guide is backward, large in size and complex in launch, and Kusai doesn't like it at all, so it has the process of introducing c801.
However, if this kind of missile is not powerful, it would be a big mistake. The missile weighs 3,000 kilograms and the warhead is 513 kilograms. With just one round, it can sink a 100-ton ship with a range of 100 kilometers. As long as the Iranians use it on the shore, they can completely block the Strait of Hormuz.
Unexpectedly, the Eastern powers achieved a balance in foreign arms sales and also sold anti-ship missiles to Iran! So, will the Iranians do the thing that shocks the world?
In later generations, in the late stage of the Iran-Iraq War, in order to offset the war potential of both sides, they both made the important goal of attacking each other's economic power, that is, the ship attack war!
In the Iran-Iraq War, the ship attack war was a shock and shame to all countries around the world, because they were not only attacking each other's ships, but also not even letting go of neutral countries. In the initial 1984 alone, 69 merchant ships and tankers were attacked, 53 in 1985, 106 in 1986, and 178 merchant ships and tankers were attacked at the highest peak in 1987.
Both sides have their own support. At that time, since the Faudo Peninsula had been occupied by Iran, Iraq lost its oil outlet and had to rely on pipeline transportation, using Jordan to travel to the Mediterranean, while Iran mainly transported oil tankers; but Iran itself is in the Persian Gulf export and has geographical advantages.
The ship attack war between the two countries caused other countries, especially Kuwait, to suffer a lot, because Kuwait is at the innermost part of the Persian Gulf and can only rely on oil tankers in the Persian Gulf. In the later stage, when Iran attacked civilian ships, whether it was an Iraqi or a ship transported to Iraq, civilian ships from countries supporting Iraq, such as Kuwait, were also listed as targets of civilian ships in countries that supported Iraq, and even attacked neutral oil tankers. Especially after September 1986, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps often dispatched armed speedboats, used machine guns and rocket launchers to fire on the bridges of passing civilian ships, with the main purpose of killing crew members, creating a terrifying atmosphere, and intimidating civilian ships. Their biggest gain was that the bulk cargo ship "Atlantic Norman" with a load of 42,000 tons sank. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps also hijacked cargo ships to Iraq, Kuwait and other countries in the name of boarding and inspecting ships.
After the attack on the ship expanded, the United States and other major powers eventually intervened. The United States began to interfere with Iran by force and mobilized a large number of warships to escort. The two sides eventually had a conflict. The United States bombed Iranian military and economic targets, and the United States shot down Iranian passenger planes. An Iranian Airlines Airbus A300 Flight 655 took off from the Port of Abbas, Iran, and was claimed to be shot down by the US Navy's missile cruiser, the USS Vincent, which claimed that it was a F14 fighter jet, killing hundreds of people on board.
If it weren't for the lessons of the quagmire of the Vietnam War, the United States would have sent ground troops to fight.
Kusai knows history, so he must not let the ship attack begin, and Iranian silkworm babies be dispatched.
As for Iran's successive acquisition of weapons from China, Kusai is even more troubled. How to deal with the sale of weapons to Iran by major Eastern powers to Iran, Kusai has been considering what kind of approach is the most appropriate one. But now it seems that it is necessary to cut the mess quickly. If even the Dongfeng three missiles are sold in the future, Iraq will be in trouble.
From the perspective of a country's leaders, Kusai should make a strong protest and accuse China of such behavior, which is a violation of the United Nations resolution on not providing weapons to both warring parties. However, this kind of protest will not play any role at all. Moreover, due to the relationship between previous lives and in that huge strategic relationship, the Eastern power will be the powerful shoulders of Iraq, and Kusai cannot have a stiff relationship with China.
"Please ask the Chinese Ambassador to Iraq to go to the Palace of the Republic tomorrow." Kusai finally made up his mind.
We cannot delay any further. We must let China know its interests and cut off the export of Iran's weapons.
Tehran.
The Ministry of Defense building has collapsed, and Rafsanjani has moved to another relatively inconspicuous building, temporarily serving as the Ministry of Defense.
Now Iran's air defense force is very empty, and Iraq will come to air strikes at any time, so he must be careful.
Two reports were placed at his desk, one about the delivery of China's J-7 aircraft that would be delayed by several days, and China has actually delayed the construction period.
The other one is the silkworm missile imported from China, which has been deployed to Port Delham and Port Abbas.
The Supreme Spiritual Leader has issued an order to destroy Iraq's economic sources and attack their tankers! Not only Iraqi, but even Kuwait, which supports Iraq, will be hit!
Rafsanjani never carried out the orders of the Supreme Leader without any discount, but he hesitated for this action because he knew what that would mean once the war began...
