Due to design reasons, the resistance of submarines underwater is smaller than that of water, and the efficiency of the propellers underwater is higher, so the underwater speed is higher than that of water.

"Lean the horizontal rudder 30 degrees forward, and dive to a depth of [-] meters." Yezhov commanded the Oscar submarine calmly. They hoped to gain something from this voyage.

west Pacific.

The sun shone hotly on the sea in the northeast of the Philippines. The aircraft carrier battle group centered on a large aircraft carrier and supplemented by several destroyers and cruisers was conducting a routine training.

This aircraft carrier is the Kitty Hawk.

Since the Kitty Hawk entered service in the 60s, it has been a battle-tested aircraft carrier. It has almost fought on the front lines in the Western Pacific, the Vietnam War, and the Iranian hostage incident... The Ninth Carrier Air Wing on the aircraft carrier already has He has flown 18 hours and has taken off and landed on aircraft carriers more than 7000 times.

The aircraft carrier is the most proud maritime power of the United States.

The temperature on the deck is very high. An F-14 fighter jet is already on the take-off line. The ejector hook in front of the nose wheel of the fighter jet has been put down and is connecting with the ejector. The rear tension rod has been connected to the nose wheel. The deflector has been folded, and the elastic shooter in the yellow uniform is ready.

After all the preparations are completed, he shoots a long lunge, puts his right hand behind his back, and points forward with his left hand.

Immediately, the flame spewed out by the engine at the rear of the F-14 turned into a bright color, and the steam bomb cylinder at the lower part, nearly a ton of fresh water steam, pushed the piston, producing an acceleration of four Gs.

Immediately, the pilot felt that his body was completely pressed against the flight seat, and the muscles of his face were pulled up. With a huge push back, the F-14 fighter left the deck.

The aircraft carrier itself does not have any attack capabilities. The power of the aircraft carrier lies in the carrier-based aircraft it carries.

Under the sea, two Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarines were searching about [-] nautical miles ahead of the formation.They are responsible for underwater protection to prevent encountering enemy nuclear submarines.

Chapter 869 The Kremlin Meets Again

June 1985, 7.

Moscow International Airport.

A four-engine airliner similar to a Boeing 707 airliner slowly landed on the runway. This is an airport specially built for the Moscow Olympics. At the beginning, colorful flags were displayed here to welcome athletes from all over the world. Now, here, again A new guest has been welcomed.

The cabin door opened, and a young Iraqi leader, Qusay Abdullah, waved his hand. Immediately, there was a jubilant applause from below.

The Foreign Minister of the Soviet Union, Shevardnadze, personally came to pick up the plane, looked at Qusay who got off the plane, and said, "President Qusay is very welcome to come to the Soviet Union!"

"It's a great honor to be in this great country," Qusay said.

When Qusay came last time, he only came as a representative of an advisory group of President Saddam Hussein, but this time, he has become the real leader of Iraq and an impressive Middle East legend in the world This time, the leader's visit to the Soviet Union is even more meaningful.

Correspondingly, Gorbachev, who had a cordial conversation with Qusay last time, has now become the leader of the country and the leader of the Red Empire, a trembling existence in this world.

Less than half a year after Gorbachev took over the power of the Soviet Union, he invited the President of Iraq to visit the Soviet Union. This represented the leaders of the new Red Empire, who attached great importance to that country in the Middle East. What kind of agreement will be reached at the meeting?

These are questions that journalists from all over the world are very curious about.

At the same time, they were also very curious, what kind of plane was President Qusay's special plane?

"Is that a Boeing 707?" a reporter asked.

"No, that's just a model of the Boeing 707, a Y-[-] passenger plane jointly produced by Iraq and China!" Another reporter with knowledge of the matter said.

"What? Iraq and China can still jointly produce airliners? Isn't Iraq only able to assemble a few F-20 fighter jets?"

"Dozens of this kind of passenger plane have been sold. In the Middle East, this kind of plane is everywhere." Another "informed" reporter said with confidence: "I have been to the Middle East several times. All of them are this kind of airliner.”

Qu Sai regards Yunshi as his own special plane, which naturally has a deep meaning. Wherever he goes, he will take this passenger plane. Invisibly, he will make a publicity for Yunshi and become the leader's special plane. It has enough performance, which is enough to show that this kind of aircraft is very mature, and it is worth buying and using by the civil aviation departments of various countries. It is much lower than the same type of passenger planes in the Western world, and it can be described as high quality and low price.

The Yun-707 appeared at the Moscow airport and was photographed by many reporters, especially the scene of Qu Sai coming down from the Yun-707, which was regarded as headline news by many newspapers. Of course, for this model, some newspapers actually I mistakenly thought it was a Boeing [-], and my ignorance would be ridiculed. The reporters who wrote these press releases were scolded by the editor-in-chief. At the same time, this aircraft was widely publicized. Look, that aircraft is very similar to the Boeing [-]. , In fact, it is luck ten!

Afterwards, Boeing, which produced the Boeing 707 passenger plane, couldn't help jumping out and launched a legal lawsuit against China's malicious imitation and infringement, but the result came to nothing, because there was no such law in China at that time !

Qusay boarded his own car and arrived at the Kremlin, where a welcome party was held for him.

Qusay attached great importance to this meeting, because he came with a package of arms purchase plan.

At the same time, Gorbachev also attaches great importance to it, because he has a plan to sell more arms to Iraq and bring profits to the Soviet Union. At present, the "Gronass" global navigation satellite project can already be passed Since Iraq is interested, we will cooperate with Iraq on this navigation project and use the funds provided by Iraq to achieve leapfrog development.

The Kremlin has been the seat of Russian power since the Tsarist era. When the October Revolution led by Lenin overthrew the old system, it ushered in a new era.

There used to be farmers who turned themselves into masters and wanted to set fire to this place, but Lenin stopped it because, from now on, this place is the property of the people!

This is indeed a great property of the Soviet Union. It has various buildings with Russian characteristics and is an important cultural heritage of Russia.

The Georgiev Hall, the most famous hall in the Kremlin, is an architectural masterpiece of Russian craftsmen.The hall is oval in shape, and six gilded two-shaped chandeliers hang on the dome.The dome and surrounding walls are painted with giant murals of various battles won by the Russian army from the 6th to the 15th centuries.There are 19 columns on the front of the hall, and the tops of the columns are all molded with statues symbolizing victory.

Such a place full of Russian characteristics, coupled with the newly added sickle and ax flags on the top, as a spacious enough place, has always been the traditional place for the Soviet zhèngfǔ to hold welcome ceremonies.

Qusay came here and met Gorbachev.

At this time, Gorbachev exudes a kind of vitality that seems to be only available to young people. Compared with the previous elders, Gorbachev is young enough. The great Soviet Union seems to be contaminated with Young style.

"General Secretary, I am very happy to see you again," Qusay said.

"I am very much looking forward to our meeting again. Today, we finally meet again in Moscow. After two years, Your Excellency Qusay has become the leader of Iraq and the youngest country in the world." Gorbachev expressed his gratitude Said with emotion.

"The same is true for your country. Under the leadership of the general secretary, the Soviet Union will stand in a more prosperous and powerful posture in the world." Qusay said.

There are many people from both sides. Members of almost all the political bureaus of the Soviet Union and various high-level leaders have come. In Iraq, Hikmat, Tariq, and the deputy commander of the navy, Karim, visited with Qusay. and others.

However, this kind of meeting with enough people is symbolic, because big things are always decided by a few people.

After two hours of mutually friendly exchanges in the Georgiev Hall, a friendly exchange took place in the adjacent Ekaterina Hall.

This time, fewer people attended the meeting. On the Soviet side, there were only General Secretary Gorbachev, Defense Minister Sergey, KGB Chairman Chebrikov and Ligachev.

In Iraq, there are only Iraqi President Qusay, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Hikmat, Foreign Minister Tariq, and Deputy Minister of General Assembly of the Army Amir.

This is an important meeting between the two sides, and a series of major issues will be discussed.

"President Qusay, the world's oil prices are still hovering in a very low range, which has a great impact on our oil exporting countries." Ligachev said first.

The Soviet Union’s main economic income now is still energy exports. Therefore, it is natural that it is very concerned about the world oil price. Now, the international oil price is hovering around 21 US dollars per barrel, which is still far from the highest level in history. Although this It is already much higher than the stable $[-] per barrel before the Iran-Iraq War, but the Soviet Union still feels dissatisfied. If it can reach $[-], or even $[-] per barrel, then the profits of the Soviet Union will be even greater. Taller.

"Yes, the current international oil price is still a little low. We OPEC members are preparing to gradually reduce production to restore the crude oil market to a reasonable level. However, many non-OPEC oil-producing countries have increased oil production and exports. capacity, while some OPEC members are quietly increasing oil exports and breaking quotas, resulting in weak oil prices.” Qusay said: “The low oil price is not in our interests, and we in Iraq will do our best to raise oil prices. "

What Qusay said is actually true. With the United Kingdom, the United States and other countries increasing their efforts in oil exploration, OPEC’s days of calling for wind and rain are over. In later generations, throughout the late 80s, oil prices have always been very weak. Now, you can It is already very good to stabilize such a price. However, Qusay stated that he will do his best to help raise oil prices. Now that Iraq has large oil fields including the oil fields in Khuzestan Province, it still has a great say.

"Energy export is related to the income of all our oil-producing countries." Gorbachev took the words. He didn't know that Ligachev would say that when he came up. Fortunately, Qusay's answer was reasonable. They all There is nothing wrong with it: "Stable and appropriate oil prices are of great benefit to both the Soviet Union and Iraq. As a friendly country of the Soviet Union, our relationship with Iraq has always been very friendly. This time we invited Qusay The president came here to hope that we can deepen the cooperation between each other. Last time, President Qusay proposed that he want to participate in our GLONASS satellite navigation project. Through our repeated research, we finally decided to invite your country to join our project."

Although Qusay already had a big plan before coming here, but before he mentioned it, Gorbachev gave him such a big gift, which really made him feel a little overjoyed, but, Now, although he is very young, he has already passed that restless age.

"I wonder what kind of cooperation your country intends for us to adopt?" Qusay asked.

If Iraq only provided money and the Soviet Union provided technology, and the two sides used it together at that time, only Asan in South Asia could do this kind of thing, and Qusay would never be fooled.

What Qusay needs is the technology of navigation satellites. Only in this way can he make technical reserves for receiving this huge system in the future.
