As for this project, if it weren't for the excessive unrealistic demands put forward by the British government, it would have been very close to success.

In this case, why not let it bear fruit in the sky of the Middle East, Qusay finally made up his mind.

After Sarah received the news, she immediately started making arrangements. After several investigations, she finally found out that one of her subordinates was actually a college classmate with the person in charge of the early warning machine project given by Qu Sai!In this way, Sarah naturally began to let this Bruce contact John, and then waited for the time when the project that Qusay said was terminated.

Qusay, the prophet, spoke very accurately every time, and Sarah never doubted Qusay's vision.

Chapter 482 The first tank rolls off the production line

Ali struggled to climb up to the shore. He was exhausted. When he wanted to give up, it was a strong belief that supported him and allowed him to continue swimming.

However, the other people did not have such great mental strength. There were no more than five people who followed Ali to the shore, and their faces were pale.

Ali didn't have any strength in his body and felt like he was going to collapse. Fortunately, it was summer and the temperature was not very low. If it was winter, even if he didn't drown, he would have to freeze to death.

Ali lay on the shore, thinking about one thing: where did the mine come from?Was it accidentally dropped by one's side when laying mines?

It is absolutely impossible.

So, was it laid by the Iraqis?How did their ship get here through the minefield set up by their own side?It seems unlikely.

He closed his eyes.

In the sea breeze, there was a rumbling sound. They already knew that the Iraqis were using helicopters to search the sea all night. Once their own ships were dispatched, they would take sudden action and use airborne anti-ship missiles to strike.

However, Ali always felt that something was wrong. If the opponent's helicopter was patrolling, it should be flying back and forth. Why is this rumbling sound always there?

The Super Hornet helicopter started the second mine-laying.

It's been a busy night!

Because the night was too dark, and because the Iranian missile boat sank too fast, they didn't realize that a mine they had just laid had played a role and successfully prevented a mine-laying operation by the Iranians.

The sky gradually brightened, and the calm Strait of Hormuz ushered in another busy day.

In Baghdad, Qusay was in a very good mood today, because he was going to attend a ceremony to celebrate the smooth roll-off of the first T-72 tank produced by Iraq on the tank production line!

In fact, when I went there last time, there were already some semi-finished products, but unfortunately, because the imported main armor has not arrived, those sites are still on the final assembly line.

After the main armor arrived, the first batch of tanks entered the final assembly process. Just yesterday, the first tank was fully assembled, so a grand celebration ceremony will be held today.

On such an important occasion, Saddam Hussein, the president of Iraq, must be present. Therefore, today's Mekhail is well prepared, especially his lines, which he has memorized thoroughly.

Also present at the ceremony were Defense Minister Adnan, Republican Guard Commander Rashid, and armored Ali who was in charge of guarding Baghdad at this time.

In the tank factory, Kartsev, the chief designer, and Ailad, the chief in charge of Iraq, have already made preparations.

Originally, the tank factory was a military restricted zone, but today, Ali's troops are in charge of protecting it, which can ensure safety.

"Your Excellency, are you ready?" Qusay asked President Saddam next to him in the car.

"Yes, the lines have been memorized." Mekhail said.

"Well, on our production line, we have hired a group of Soviet workers. Although we have carefully screened them, we still cannot ensure whether there are KGB people in them. Therefore, we must be careful not to reveal any flaws." Sai said.

Although Mekhail has played the role of the president many times, Qusay is still very cautious, because there are many rumors about the president outside, and there must be no surprises in this kind of public occasion.

"Your Excellency Qu Sai, we will be here soon." A voice came from the front.

Kusai looked out of the car window and had already entered the factory area of ​​the tank factory.

In order to celebrate this day, the roadsides on both sides of the factory area were filled with banners, fluttering in the wind, and several large banners were also pulled out, shaking in the wind. You can see that it says "Celebrate the First Day of Iraq" A self-made tank rolled off the production line!Allah is with Iraq!Slogans like Long Live Iraq.

At the door of the assembly workshop, Kartsev stood in high spirits. Although he was old, his figure was still tall and his spirit was still high.

Since coming to Iraq, Kartsev has received more advanced treatment than in the Soviet Union. He has a special car, a driver, and a villa. His monthly salary is almost equal to half a year in the Soviet Union. Karl Tsev is quite satisfied with the current situation, especially, the improvement of the T-72 fire control system that Qusay proposed last time is also being carried out nervously, watching his proud work that he has poured into his life is becoming stronger , Kartsev has a sense of satisfaction.

It is much better to stay here to play the rest of my life than to spend my old age in the Soviet Union.

Ailad on the side is also waiting nervously. Ailad is a tanker who has been reused by Qusay since he came to this world. He has a unique way of using tanks, especially in tapping the potential of the fire control system. , Gradually promoted and became the instructor of the whole division. He is also constantly studying by himself to master more knowledge of the world's advanced tanks. After careful consideration, Qusay finally decided to transfer him here to be the person in charge of the Iraqi side here. .

Elad is well aware of the heavy responsibility and all technical problems. Although Kartsev solves them, his main task is to coordinate the progress and do logistics work. However, Elard is also working hard to learn all the knowledge on the production line. Enrich yourself, a person like Elard who has rich practical experience, and then enters the production line, and is good at using his brain, will improve quite quickly.Moreover, Elad seems to be very talented in this area.

The car stopped, and the great Iraqi President, His Excellency Saddam Hussein, stepped out of the car.

Suddenly, there was a burst of joyful applause all around.

Qusay also got out of the car and followed President Saddam.

Qusay followed President Saddam and faintly became the No.1 of President Saddam's subordinates. This is no surprise to everyone. Although His Excellency Qusay is young, he has already made great military achievements and won all The trust of the Iraqi people and the future ruler of Iraq must be His Excellency Qusay.

Of course, those who know the inside story are even more certain that His Excellency Qusay is the actual ruler now, not to mention the future.

"Mr. President, you are welcome to inspect the tank factory and attend the tank roll-off ceremony." Kartsev said.

Listening to the translator next to him, President Saddam said: "Our self-made tanks have finally come off the assembly line. This is inseparable from the help of the Soviet Union. On behalf of Iraq, I would like to thank the Soviet Union for their help and thank you for your hard work. Comrade Kartsev, the chief designer here, and friends from the Soviet Union."

Listening to the president's words, it was very pleasing to the ears. Kartsev had a smile on his face, and what the president said was to praise the friendship between the Soviet Union and Iraq.

At this time, the top leaders of Iraq and other heavyweights also gathered together.

It was the first time Elard had seen so many big people, and he shouted excitedly: "Report to His Excellency the President, and to all the heads, the first tank of our tank factory is about to roll off the production line!"

In fact, with Elard's current status, there is no need to say that at all, but he still positioned himself in the army, so he used the method of reporting, but this made the scene more grand.

President Saddam nodded. He walked to the front of the microphone and waved to the cheering crowd. The scene fell silent, and they were all listening to President Saddam's speech.

"Today, we are here, ushering in the most exciting moment of the roll-off of the first tank produced by Iraq itself. This marks that Iraq's heavy industry has finally developed to a new height. Our front-line fighters need the rear Provide an advanced main battle tank, and now we have done it! Although you did not personally participate in the battle, your work is as important as the soldiers who fought bloody battles on the front line. It is because of your hard work that our soldiers We have our own powerful weapon against Khomeini, who is trying to overthrow our regime by exporting revolution! Our struggle against Iran will never stop until the Iranian people are completely liberated!"

"At the same time, the current production of tanks is just the beginning, and we will continue to work hard. To achieve industrialization in Iraq, ground weapons must be serialized. Not only tanks, but also infantry fighting vehicles, armored vehicles, off-road vehicles, trucks, We want to produce all the cars by ourselves! We want to completely build Iraq into a rich and modern country and a paradise for the Iraqi people! Whether they are Shiites or Sunnis, whether they are Arabs or Kurds, as long as they are Those who support us are the great Iraqi people! We will be proud to live in such a great country! Allah is with us! Allah will always bless the great Iraq and prosper!" Mehael has done many times The stand-in of President Saddam Hussein said these words with impassioned enthusiasm, even more provocative than what Saddam himself said.

After hearing his will, all the people cheered.

The door of the workshop was opened, and a T-72 tank inside, with a 125mm caliber gun held high, slowly drove down the production line. Confident, this mighty and majestic tank is the main battle tank produced by Iraq itself!Even if you look at the entire Middle East, this is the most advanced tank!

Heroic tanker Kusa, listening to the roar of the high-horsepower engine at the back, felt that the maneuverability of this tank was very good. You know, the back has a thousand horsepower!He put his head out of the hatch, operated the tank, drove out of the production workshop, and stopped a few meters away from the president.

The next project is for the president to step on the tank himself.

"Comrade Kartsev." Qusay looked at the old Soviet comrade with joy in his eyes, and said, "Our production line has finally rolled off advanced tanks. Thank you and other Soviet friends for your hard work. .”

"The Soviet Union and Iraq originally had a great international friendship." Kartsev said, he just answered politely, friendship is secondary, and high wages are the main one.

However, Qusay was just raising a topic, the following words were the most important, and these words made the old comrade stunned.

"After the normal production of the production line, our own new generation of main battle tanks in Iraq will also enter pre-research immediately. I hope you can be the chief designer." Qu Sai said.
