"Okay, this time it went very well." Qusay said, five tons of gold, it can be said that it is a windfall this time, nearly [-] million US dollars of funds, Qusay is very satisfied, this will not only increase Iraq's The funds will deal a heavy blow to the other party. Without this fund, the other party's economy will definitely be in trouble. Let's see how long they can last!

"This time, Hades made a great contribution. The new combat mission I assigned to him is to put our flag on all the oil drilling platforms north of Datongpu Island." Qu Sai continued.

An agreement has been negotiated with the United Arab Emirates. Now, those oil rigs will naturally be seized first.

"Our engineering troops stepped up to Qeshm Island to carry out construction. Within half a month, I need our fighter planes, which can take off and land there." Qusay said.

"President Qusay, are we really going to set up a naval aviation unit?" Adnan asked.

According to Qusay's plan, after capturing Qeshm Island and building an airport, this military airport is for the naval aviation, and the naval aviation will also be established. Now, it is planned to transfer eight aircraft from the air force. Mirage F1 fighters, the first batch of fixed-wing fighters other than helicopters to form the Naval Air Force.

The expensive Phantom 4000 and the main F-20 fleet did not move, only the Phantom F1 aircraft was dispatched, which made the Air Force Commander not too heartbroken. However, thinking of transferring to the Navy, he was still a little reluctant. Serving in the Air Force is different. Do you support the sea?

Chapter 945 The Cold War Continues, Partially in the Hot War

In 1986, this is destined to be an unusual year. On the first day of this year, another local battle broke out in the Middle East, which has always been called the powder keg. A one-sided battle.

At present, the world has recognized that the Rajawi zhèngfǔ is the legal zhèngfǔ of the Persians, but they only control a few provinces, and the rest of the area is still on the sidelines and has no allegiance.In this case, the zhèngfǔ did not choose to use force, but used the method of probation to get several major northern provinces into his arms. This method has also been praised by countries all over the world.Called by the Secretary-General of the United Nations as a great test of human friendship, it is the best choice to resolve conflicts.

However, since the south has not made any moves, in order to put pressure on the south and at the same time for the safety of the waterway, the Rajawi zhèngfǔ invited Iraq to dispatch a force to recover Qeshm Island and other islands.This action is to put realistic pressure on the south.It will greatly promote their understanding of the situation and return to the embrace of the north.This also reflects the peace-loving sincerity of Iraqi President Qusay and the friendly spirit of unity and cooperation with the Rajawi government.

Of course, the above statements are all the rhetoric of the official Iraqi government, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it at a glance.Occupying those islands, for Iraq, has sealed off the entrance to the Persian Gulf, completely using the Persian Gulf as their back garden.

However, neither the United States nor the Soviet Union, the two superpowers, responded to this incident.As a result, all countries in the world have given a piece of public opinion of praise.It seems that even Iraq started building an airfield on the island to deter the south, without the slightest intention of patrolling the Arabian Sea.

The American side was annoyed.Originally intended to provoke conflicts between the United Arab Emirates and Iraq, this is the only card they can play.Iraq not only occupied Qeshm Island, but also occupied the Datongpu Islands. However, I don’t know what method Qusay used, or the president of the United Arab Emirates was too cowardly, and he actually acquiesced in Iraq’s control of Datongpu Island. The occupation of Bu Island did not even have the most basic protest, and it seemed that the two sides had reached an agreement. The United Arab Emirates suddenly sent troops to seize the Abu Musa Island in the south of the channel. Now, soldiers from both sides are stationed on those islands , they can look at each other across the main channel, and the atmosphere between them is actually relatively harmonious!

For the purpose of increasing income, the US government still chose to export F-16 fighter jets to the UAE.

The war in the Persian Gulf only lasted for a few days, and then calmed down again. On the other side of the earth, in Angola in the southern corner of Africa, the war intensified again.

Angola is located in southwestern Africa, with the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Republic of Congo to the north and northeast, Namibia to the south, and Zambia to the southeast. Another enclave, Cabinda Province, is adjacent to the Republic of Congo and the Republic of Congo.This is a country full of disasters, because this country is also rich in resources. Angola's economy is mainly based on agriculture and minerals. Famous for producing diamonds.

Originally, if this country can be stabilized, its economic potential will be very high, and it will even become the richest country in Africa in the future.It's a pity that these resources are a disaster for countries that are unable to protect them.

Historically, Angola was a colony of Portugal, but after the 20s, the People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola, the National Liberation Front of Angola, and the National League for the Complete Independence of Angola were successively established.However, after Portugal was driven away, Angola became independent, but it did not stabilize. The latter two factions united and waged a civil war against the Angola Liberation People's Movement, which had already organized a zhèngfǔ.

The People's Republic of Angola organized by the People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola has been recognized by many countries around the world.But the remaining two factions, backed by the United States and South Africa, have been at war.

In order to eliminate the domestic opposition, the Angolan government began to contact the Soviet Union and Cuba to win their support.As a result, the civil war in Angola turned into a war between the zhèngfǔ army supported by the Soviet Union and Cuba and the opposition supported by South Africa and the United States.

The United States and the Soviet Union are fighting for hegemony and the Cold War continues. This is the biggest problem facing world security. In order to avoid direct confrontation and trigger unmanageable conflicts, both sides are very restrained and only support agents to fight. On the surface, they are relatively harmonious .

Moreover, under the current situation, the Soviet Union does not have the aggressive posture of the Brerenev period, and the United States has also fallen into the biggest economic problem. Under this situation, for the sake of world peace, the two sides extended the hands of friendship .

On April 1984, 4, General Secretary Gorbachev visited the United States for the first time as the helm of the Soviet Union. After three days of formal talks, the two sides finally reached a "principle" agreement on the conclusion of the INF Treaty, and The treaty will be formally signed when President Reagan visits the Soviet Union at the end of this year.This treaty was drafted as the "Treaty on the Total Destruction of Intermediate-Range Nuclear Missiles between the Two Countries." This treaty stipulates that within three years after the treaty takes effect, the United States and the Soviet Union will completely destroy and completely ban medium- and short-range missiles and missiles with a range of 18 to 3 kilometers. It is a medium-range missile with a range of 500 to 1000 kilometers.This includes deployed missiles as well as produced but not yet deployed missiles.

如果这个条约签署了的话，那么，苏联将销毁部署在欧洲和亚洲的441枚SS－20导弹和112枚SS－4导弹，以及130枚部署在东欧的SS－12和SS－23导弹；而美国将销毁部署在西欧的332枚潘兴2导弹。双方将销毁这些导弹的全部生产线，以后就无法再继续生产这种短程和中程弹道导弹了。

In terms of quantity, it seems that the Soviet Union has suffered. However, the Soviet Union's medium-range and short-range ballistic missiles far exceed that of the United States, which is fair.Moreover, the United States will propose at the Paris Club to provide the Soviet Union with a low-interest loan totaling 3000 billion U.S. dollars to help the Soviet Union make up for its huge financial loopholes.

When this statement was released, the world was shocked, because it was the first agreement in the history of disarmament negotiations between the United States and the Soviet Union to actually reduce nuclear weapons, rather than to set a limit for each to continue to increase such weapons.

The photo of Gorbachev and Reagan shaking hands in front of the White House appeared on the covers of major newspapers in the world. This is the contribution of the two great men to world peace!There is a lot of praise in the world public opinion, but it seems that they have forgotten, can this reduction really play a role?The number of nuclear warheads to be destroyed under the treaty only accounts for [-] percent of the total number of nuclear warheads owned by the two countries. Moreover, the reduction of medium-range and short-range missiles has kept the original number of strategic missiles.This reduction is just a reluctance to continue investing in medium-range and short-range missiles. The number of missiles aimed at the opponent has not actually decreased.

The two superpowers do not need to have medium-range missiles. However, there are still many countries in the world that need medium-range missiles, such as Iraq!

With the signing of the final agreement between the two parties, these two types of missiles are already useless to the Soviet Union. Since they are useless, it is better to give them to Iraq than to waste them.

Short course?Qusay doesn't dislike it, as long as he can have it, besides, the two types he aimed at, OTP-23 and RSD-10, although the range is not very high, for example, the RSD-10 is "only" [-] kilometers, but , he will never despise it.

At this time, through the efforts of the Iraqi weapons procurement personnel, the director of the Southern Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Shelov, has been completely conquered. Adelina is very meticulous in her work. The organization is very familiar with the situation here, so under her personal supervision, everything has been arranged. When the formal agreement is signed and both parties start to destroy it, this operation will go quietly. Do it silently.Not only that, a group of engineers from the Southern Machinery Factory were willing to leave the current factory and go to Iraq, where the treatment was too rich.

Now before Qusay, there are two plans. The first is not to disturb Gorbachev, and the people below will carry out secret activities to complete this plan of stealing the sky and changing the sun. Although the scale of this operation Larger is not out of the question.Ever since Amir got back more than 100 Soviet T-72 tanks from the Soviet Union last time, Qusay has seen that, just like in history, the Soviet Union has been completely corrupted. Next, the people below can evacuate the entire Soviet Union for the sake of money. This plan has great success.

The other is to secretly propose to Gorbachev that since the Soviet Union is going to be destroyed, it is better to pay a high price and secretly buy these production lines. Anyway, the Soviet Union is also short of money, and Gorbachev is very Maybe he will agree, and if he does this, the top leader will nod, and the next action will be more confident, and the possibility of success is the greatest.

One is the underworld, the other is the white way, how to get there?Just when Qu Sai was still hesitating, a major event that shocked the world suddenly happened when everyone in the world was defenseless.

A demon, when human beings were not prepared, was released into the human world due to some people's negligence and operational errors, bringing about a huge disaster.

9Chapter 16 Violations

In Kiev Oblast, Ukraine, not far from the border of Belarus, there is a neat and beautiful small city, Pripyat.

This small town was built in the 70s to accommodate the construction workers and staff of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

In the early morning, a ray of golden sunlight pierces through the dense forest, the silver birch trees stand tall and graceful, the leaves rustle with the wind, the rows of pine trees are lush and green, and the air is fresh, making people linger and forget to return.Looking up again, the always pure and transparent blue sky is dotted with white clouds.This kind of beautiful natural scenery cannot be seen in big cities.Therefore, attracted by the scenery, more and more people came to this small city. Up to now, there have been more than [-] people.

Three kilometers away from the small town, among the birch trees, stands a huge building, the pride of the Soviet people and the Ukrainian people, the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

The nuclear power plant, consisting of four reactors, each capable of producing 1 gigawatt of electricity, together provides 70 percent of Ukraine's electricity.Construction began in the 1s, with reactor No. 1977 commissioned in 1978, followed by three more reactors in 1981, 1983 and 1000.Two more reactors are under construction, both of the same type, the same RBMK-[-] model that was aided to Iraq.

The night of April 1986, 4 was an ordinary night.

Reactor No. [-] had been shut down in previous days for scheduled maintenance.And it was decided to test the reactor's turbine generator capability at this time to verify whether sufficient power can be generated to supply the reactor's safety systems, especially the water pumps, in the event of a power shortage.This is of great significance to shut down the reactor normally and safely when the reactor is under attack.

"Why hasn't the chief engineer come yet?" A technician in the control room of the No. [-] nuclear reactor complained that they had been waiting for a long time.

"Stop complaining, be careful and send you to Siberia to feed mosquitoes," said another technician.

Being able to work here is something that everyone is very envious of. The natural conditions here are excellent, better than Moscow and other places.

However, the chief engineer is also very domineering, although they all know that the chief engineer Kiatlov did not graduate from nuclear power at all, but was transferred from an ordinary thermal power station, and he has a very hard background, so They dare not refute Kiatlov's remarks, even in the field of professional operations. A few days ago, a technician was transferred by Kiatrov because he made an opinion. After arriving here, it is said that he was transferred to Siberia.

Therefore, this experiment must wait until the chief engineer arrives before they can proceed.

In addition to more than a dozen people on night shift in the control room, there are more than 100 people working on this No. [-] reactor, and they are all on today's night shift.

The hour hand has already pointed, and the 26th has arrived. It was not until thirty minutes before Kyatlov came to the scene.

"Start the experiment." Kyatlov ordered.

For this experiment, the reactor needs to be operated at a lower power, so that the energy of the reactor is reduced from the normal power of 3200 megawatts to 700 megawatts.

However, because the time has been delayed now, if the normal operation is carried out, the experiment cannot be completed on time.

Hearing the chief engineer's order, the reactor controller sensibly did not refute the chief engineer's order, and started to operate according to his instructions.Kiatlov also knew that he was late, so he issued several orders in a row and began to quickly reduce the power of the reactor.

In the huge reactor, with the operation of the controller, the control rods were continuously inserted, and the power of the nuclear reactor dropped rapidly, and soon dropped to 30 million watts.

Looking at the data displayed on the instrument, Kiatlov was very dissatisfied. In this case, the nuclear reactor should be shut down before the experiment.

"Report, the xenon-135 in the nuclear reactor is increasing rapidly." A monitor reported.

This is a product of nuclear fission where neutrons are attracted, that is, the rapid increase of this element is caused by the control rods being inserted too quickly.

"What's going on?" Kyatlov asked.
