"The Air Force Base in Tehran, have we almost repaired it?" Qusay asked.

"Yes, the runway has been completely cleared, all the hangars that were not seriously damaged have been refurbished, and the tower has been rebuilt, but most of the fighter planes left by Iran can no longer be used." Abed said .

"Transfer the Mirage 4000 fleet of our northern military region and the pre-warning aircraft to the Tehran Air Force Base. They will conduct a month-long patrol mission in the no-fly zone." Qu Sai said.

No-fly zone?patrol?All the people did not understand.

"Yes, we now have trouble with the armored division, but in the sky, our fighter planes can already protect the entire sky of Iran. Our Mirage 4000 heavy-duty air superiority fighter jets need to protect the sky in eastern Iran. During our no-fly zone patrol mission, any aircraft flying in this airspace is illegal and will be shot down mercilessly by us," Qusay said.

In later generations, Qusay felt extremely indignant at the Western countries' artificially setting up a no-fly zone in northern Iraq. This is the bullying of a small country by a big country!Iraq completely lost control of the northern region, allowing the Kurds to gradually become stronger, and finally, with the support of the United States, they took power in Iraq.

Now, Qusay is naturally doing the same. In the northeast of Iran, although their ground troops cannot reach it, there is no restriction in the air. Using the Mirage 4000 fighter jets with a long range, under the command of the hunter pre-alert plane, completely block Iran's The northeast shows that Tehran zhèngfǔ has the ability to control this area!

The so-called no-fly zone is to prohibit other aircraft from flying except one's own aircraft. Once found, it will be shot down. This is a barbaric but effective way to show that one's own side can control this area.

"What if a Soviet plane flies over?" Abed asked.

"I'm talking about any aircraft," Qusay said. "We don't know which country it is from."

After thinking for a while, Qusay then asked: "In Mashhad in the north of Khorasan, there seems to be a second-line armored company of the old Iranian government?"

"Yes." Adnan said, "However, the second-line armored company is still equipped with old-fashioned M48A5 tanks. It is still unknown how many of them can be activated."

"That's enough. Two squadrons of F-20 fighter jets will be mobilized into the Tehran Air Force Base, armed with Maverick air-to-ground missiles, and quickly attack the second-line armored company of the Iranians during the first day's no-fly zone flight mission. Completely blow them up to ashes! At the same time, publicize the results of this strike to the outside world in a high-profile manner," Qusay said.

That kind of old-fashioned tank, a tank is not as expensive as a Maverick air-to-surface missile, but Qusay must do this. In the ancient East, there is a proverb called killing a chicken to show a monkey!

Chapter 5 Seventy: Nuclear Weapons Are Coming

Hearing His Excellency Qusay's words, there was a wave of fluctuation in the eyes of all the people present. They knew that the reason why they were able to follow His Excellency Qusay faithfully was because he was like a god in everyone's heart. , On the battlefield, he is the god of war, and in the development of the economy, he is also a strong man. He is still fearless in the face of the strength of the two poles of the world.

Of course, Your Excellency Qusay is also very smart. Not being afraid is psychological, but on the surface, you still have to leave enough steps for the other party, clamoring that the United States is the big Satan and the Soviet Union is the little Satan like Iran’s former zhèngfǔ era , Annoying both parties is of no benefit.

Until now, Iraq still needs the Soviet Union. In Iraq, there are at least a few hundred Soviets working in Iraq, on the T-72 production line, in the maintenance of newly introduced Soviet-made equipment such as the Su-25 attack aircraft, All are active with the figure of the Soviets.Now the Soviet Union's vain attempt to invade eastern Iran is just their wishful thinking. Your Excellency Qusay will let them retreat.

Following the order of His Excellency Qusay, the Air Force of Iraq's Northern Military Region began to transition, using Tehran as an important base to help the friendly Tehran zhèngfǔ against the imminent crisis of being invaded by the Soviet Union.

Qusay's mood today is a bit complicated. From the heart, regarding the United States and the Soviet Union, Qusay wants to move closer to the Soviet Union, because the United States is very arrogant in later generations. If Iraq wants to grow and develop, it will eventually conflict with the United States, while the Soviet Union , In later generations, it has already disintegrated. When the Soviet Union disintegrated, Iraq had a lot of benefits to gain. A good relationship with the Soviet Union now will be of great benefit to the future.

It's a pity that the Red Empire at this time is still a trembling existence, and when they are keenly aware of the benefits, they still inevitably want to make a move. They really don't know that what they need to do most now is How to solve domestic problems?Even the supply of bread will be interrupted at any time, they still want to expand abroad?is that useful?

Under such circumstances, Iraq must show enough will to let the Soviet Union know that they need to pay a price for invading eastern Iran. Whether this price makes them worth continuing to do that, as long as they are deterred first, After a few days, it's easy to say.

If you don't want to be bullied arbitrarily by powerful countries like later generations, then the only way is to keep getting stronger!The way not to be bullied by gangsters is to become a big gangster yourself!

After coming out of the Palace of the Republic, the sky had already darkened, and the night sky in Baghdad became so bright, Qusay said to the secretary: "Change to the backup vehicle, let's go to Harris."

"Yes," replied the secretary, turning to get ready.

Harris, Qusay hasn't been there for a long time, but Qusay has always been concerned about the No. 13 project there. Now, this project has become more urgent.

It is very important whether a country can become a big country, gain a say in the world, cross the nuclear threshold, and become a member of the nuclear weapons club.

Therefore, Project No. 13 has always been a key project among Iraq's key projects. Whatever is needed will be met immediately, such as a large computer for simulation. One is provided.

If, in the most extreme case, Iraq really clashes with the Soviet Union, then Iraq will announce to the world in due course that Iraq will conduct a nuclear test!

If the Soviet Union really dares to do something, then the OTP-23 equipped by Iraq, which is a solid missile with a higher range imported from the Soviet Union, will conduct a test launch of a warhead carrying a nuclear warhead, and the target is Iran. Desert zone!

At critical times, Iraq also has a trump card!Qusay clenched his fists in the car.

Using things imported from the Soviet Union to prevent the Soviet Union from aggressing itself, I don’t know if this is a kind of satire on the Soviet Union.

Entered Harris, put on the guards of the base, the car continued to move forward, and finally came to the No. 13 engineering base.

Zia Jaafar heard that His Majesty Qusay was coming, so he ran down from his job. From a distance, he saw the young man and got off the car.

"Your Excellency Qusay, I'm very sorry that I'm late to welcome you." Zia said a little out of breath, and then he glanced into the car: "Why, didn't President Saddam come with you?"

"The president has been feeling unwell recently. He has been in Baghdad all the time and rarely comes out for activities." Qusay said that he is very satisfied with the secrecy work here.

In order for the scientific researchers here to carry out this most important nuclear weapon research program for Iraq without any interference, it can be said that it is almost isolated from the outside world. I know that even the chief person in charge of this project doesn't know that the real President Saddam is lying in the hospital, and he doesn't know that Iraq has liberated Tehran at this time.

Speaking of Saddam, Qusay felt a little guilty in his heart. Although he already knew that Hassar could detoxify President Saddam, Qusay seemed to have forgotten this matter and let President Saddam Still in a coma like that, because Qusay knows that a country can only have one ruler. Although he is not greedy for power and position, if he handed over the power to his father, there is no guarantee that he will develop according to his own ideas Going on, my father can't compare with me in some aspects, such as vision, such as thinking, he is already out of date, what Iraq needs is me!

Sometimes, when you step up to a high position, you can't help yourself...

"Zia, I'm here, I hope to hear good news from you." Qu Sai said.

"Yes, Your Excellency Qusay, I have some good news for you this time." Zia was full of excitement, and said as he walked: "First of all, our centrifuges are all in operation, until now, finally Enriched enough uranium to make a nuclear weapon," Zia said.

So far, only one is enough, Qu Sai doesn't think so, this is good news: "So, how long will it take for us to build the second one?"

"We are working at full speed now, and we can make up the second one in five months."

That is to say, in one year, Iraq can produce at most two bombs?Although Qusay knew that building nuclear weapons was a waste of time, the progress still made him very dissatisfied.

It's just that nuclear weapons are for deterrence, and it's useless to build too many. Except for the power of two tested in Japan at the end of World War II, several major countries have nuclear weapons. Now, both the United States and the Soviet Union have Thousands of them are aiming at each other, but what's the use?The ones that are actually used in wars are all extremely insane people. Even in later generations, there has never been such a thing. Except for real terrorists, I am afraid that no leader of any country dares to order the use of nuclear weapons.

Whether it is solved or not, how much is secondary, and if there are too many, it will also cost a lot of money to maintain.Thinking of this, Qusay began to feel a little relieved.

"So, what's the good news?" Qusay asked.

Just as he was speaking, Zia had brought Qusay to the main computer room of the base, where a computer imported from the Soviet Union was placed. The "Elbrus-1K2" large-scale computer is an updated version of the BE**-1965 designed in 6. The biggest advantage is that it has begun to use integrated circuits and has an operating system. , you can use the FORTRAN language compiler.

After obtaining this kind of large-scale computer, Ziya felt like a precious treasure. The effect of the simulation on the two medium-sized computers was very poor, and it took a lot of time, but on this large-scale computer, the speed was obviously much faster.

The most important thing to use a large computer is to simulate the design of nuclear weapons and the process of nuclear explosions. Now, this process is coming to an end!

Qu Sai walked into the computer room and saw the computer placed in the center.

Compared with the first computer ENIAC occupying a building, the volume of the current large-scale computer is already very small. Due to the use of integrated circuits, this large-scale computer only needs a few cabinets to complete the task. The zhōngyāng computer room is similar.

At this time, the personnel in the computer room were still working nervously, and rows of data were constantly beating on the monitor of a terminal.

"Your Excellency Qusay, the second good news is that we have completed several simulations of the final plan of our nuclear weapon design, and now we have completely determined the internal structure data of our nuclear weapon, that is to say, our research and development The job is pretty much done," Zia said.

The research and development has been completed, and the raw materials needed to manufacture nuclear weapons have also been completed. Qusay knows what this means.

"So we could have our first nuclear weapon at any moment?" Qusay asked.

"Yes, we are now preparing for manufacturing. We can complete the manufacturing of our first nuclear weapon within a month and prepare for experiments at the same time," Zia said.

within a month!With just enough time, Qusay asked, "If we speed things up, can we do it in 20 days?"

"Okay, we will definitely complete the task on time!" Zia said. He knew that His Excellency Qusay's request must be because of a problem. His Excellency Qusay has always supported them with all his strength, but he never urged them.

"The location of our nuclear explosion was chosen in the Hijara Desert in the south. Now, construction has started there half a year ago. Our nuclear test will be conducted underground." Qusay said: "We will, within a month, Detonate our own nuclear weapons in Iraq!"
