As Reyer returned from the Black Sea, another modern-class destroyer ordered by the Iraqi Navy has also embarked on the road to return home.

Faced with the changing situation in the world, Kusai knew that he could not wait any longer and had to speed up. Therefore, in 1987, another modern-class unforgettable ship abandoned by the Soviet Navy was additionally funded by Iraq to complete the subsequent construction plan.

The ship's cycle was a bit long because, during the construction process, Iraq modified the warship according to its own standards, just like the ones currently used by the Iraqi Navy, and added electronic equipment, resulting in a longer cycle.

After this warship enters the Iraqi Navy, it will continue to improve their naval level.

At the same time, another brand new Iraq-ordered large anti-submarine ship was also launched this year and is expected to be put into service within two years.

Moreover, Iraq is negotiating with the Soviet Union about the import of the Fearless 3 destroyer. This special air defense destroyer equipped with four-sided phased array radar is the most urgently needed by Iraq now. However, on this issue, the Soviet Union is still somewhat conservative, and Iraq is working hard to tackle key problems.

For the larger Glorious Class, Iraq also made a purchase request, but it was still under the consideration of the Soviet senior management.

At the same time, in Iraq, a frigate with a full load displacement of nearly 4,000 tons is being started. This frigate is a warship that Iraq has absorbed the expertise of the East and the West, summarized the advantages and disadvantages of its own ships, and hired technicians from the Soviet Union, China, France and other countries. After nearly a year and a half of design, it finally started to build a warship.

This warship uses diesel-fuel combined power, diesel engines come from Germany, and gas turbines come from the Soviet Union, which allows this warship to sail at a maximum speed of 33 knots. In terms of carrier-based firepower, the SA-N-9 vertically launched ship-to-air missiles on the Fearless Class. There are 6 missile launching compartments on the ship, each cabin, and 8 missiles are available in the entire ship, with a range of 15 kilometers and a speed of Mach 2. The two "Cross Sword" radars can guide 8 missiles against 4 air targets at the same time, and have a certain anti-saturation attack capability. They use the same roof three-coordinate radar as the Modern Class to search for air. There are also 4 AK-630 6-barrel 30mm guns in the short range.

In terms of ships, anti-ship missiles made by Iraq are adopted, which absorbs modern-class ultra-visual radar systems and provides missiles with better guidance capabilities.

In terms of subsea, France's ship shell sonar, towed sonar and other equipment are mainly used, making its anti-submarine performance equally excellent, carrying an anti-submarine helicopter.

The entire warship adopts stealth design and adopts certain design ideas of the stealth missile boat built by Iraq itself.

This is Iraq's first bold attempt, and the risks are very high. However, once successful, it can allow Iraq to have a frigate with moderate air defense, anti-submarine and anti-ship performance. If it is successfully built, it will make Iraq's shipbuilding industry leap forward and develop again. The process will definitely be very difficult. However, Iraq has no way out and must face the difficulties.

Now, since the aircraft carrier body built by the Black Sea Shipyard for Iraq has been completed and only the final assembly stage is left, many workers with experience in large ship manufacturing have returned to Iraq again. Through this project, although Iraq has invested a lot of money, the benefits are also huge. For example, these experienced shipbuilders are a valuable asset.

Iraq has absorbed excellent subsystems of Soviet ships, such as air defense radars, air defense missiles and other subsystems, which has made Iraq's technology great progress.

If this warship is built smoothly, Iraq will continue to start construction, build four warships of the same level, and then consider building destroyers with larger displacement.

As the aviation industry has developed greatly in Iraq, Iraq's shipbuilding industry is about to usher in a peak moment.

April 4, 1991, the capital of Iraq, Baghdad.

In a large conference room on the second floor of the Republic Palace, a group of men in traditional Arabic costumes are holding an important meeting.

The meeting was attended by the core personnel of Arab countries. King Sultan of Saudi Arabia, Emir Jabir of Kuwait, King Hussein of Jordan, President Bashar of Syria, and the host, Iraqi President Kusai Abdullah.

"The United States is ready, and the first troops will soon be stationed in Yotvata Army Base in a few days." King Hussein said: "We must have a solution to it. This is the act of Americans who seriously interfere in the internal affairs of our Arab world."

It would be fine if the Americans secretly supported Israel in the backstage. Now, they are actually garrisoning troops in Israel openly, so the nature has completely changed.

This means that once wars occur, such as the previous Middle East wars, they were all fighting between Arabs and Jews, but now, it is a direct confrontation with the Americans.

In this world, Americans are undoubtedly very powerful, so powerful that they almost dare not imagine the possibility of confronting Americans head-on.

"Yes, we must make a difference. We must let the Americans know that we are definitely not bullied by them at will." Bashar also said: "This is our Arab world. The Jews should get out long ago!"

Jordan felt the personal threat, and Bashar was young and energetic. Both of them had to respond strongly to this matter.

Sultan and Jabir are more cautious. If, in terms of international principles, Israel agrees to the US military and the United States enters Israel, this is all a matter between the two countries. Even if they protest, they will not have any effect.

Using this as a reason to start a war? The three of them knew very well that the reason for doing so was not enough.

In the world today, the United States is still a hegemonic country and still has strong force. Needless to say, it is necessary to completely defeat the United States. Even if they fight a local war with the US troops in the Middle East, they have to put all their energy into dealing with it.

In previous Middle East wars, Arab countries beat one Israel and suffered repeated defeats. Is it possible if the US team is added?

The time is not yet.

"The Americans stationed troops in Israel seriously damaged our interests and increased the instability factors in our Arab region. We must have a correct way to deal with this." Kusai finally spoke.

"Yes, Abdullah, you led us, fought Tel Aviv, and drove all the Israelites into the sea." Bashar said.

Kusai shook his head: "Victory is always for those who are prepared. Our time is not yet here. If a full-scale conflict breaks out now, then our chances of winning are very small."

"Even if we have a chance of winning, we have to do our best to score nine points," said Bashar.

"Our reason is not very sufficient. Our actions need to stand on a just standpoint. The situation we have worked hard to achieve cannot be destroyed. For example, the United States wants to impose sanctions on our Iraq now, but Western European countries do not buy it. This is a welcome change." Kusai said: "If we launch a war because the Americans are stationed, then there is no doubt that Western Europe will definitely stand in the US camp. We must not confront the entire Western world. We want to disintegrate the US and Western European camps."

Just like the Americans’ thinking, the right way for Americans to disrupt the Arab union and defeat each one is to defeat it. Facing a unified Arab world, Americans also have headaches.

And for Kusai, the same is true. In the battle between the Arabs and the Israelites, the Americans will definitely get involved. At this time, if the Western Europeans can stand by and watch, it is the most appropriate. If the Western Europeans stand together with the United States, then it is definitely not what Kusai wants to see. Iraq's entire industrialization process is still inseparable from Western Europe. Moreover, if the entire Western world imposes sanctions on the Arabs, the consequences will be very terrible.

Before the Gulf War, Iraq had a lot of foreign debt, but it was still one of the richest countries in the world. However, under the leadership of the United States, all Western European countries imposed economic sanctions on Iraq. In the end, Iraq fell into the ranks of poor countries.

At the same time, Western Europe is also inseparable from crude oil from the Middle East and Iraq. Therefore, the US call this time does not work, and it is also the result of the final integration and balance of these interests.

As long as they did not do anything shocking, such as the 9/11 in later generations, which did not arouse the public outrage of the world, many countries in Western Europe would not buy American accounts. After all, the Soviet Union has declined now, which will give Europeans more self-esteem and self-confidence.

In order to fight against the powerful Red Empire, Western Europe had to be protected by the Americans and had a very good relationship with the Americans. However, after the decline and disintegration of the Soviet Union, Western Europe also began to rise. In many matters, it was no longer possible to look at the Americans' faces. Western Europe knew that relying solely on one country, they could not compete with the United States, so they tended to unite and form the Great Europe they dreamed of.

Imperialism is not a monolithic one. Kusai’s idea is to keep Western European countries neutral in the war with the Americans.

Therefore, in future wars, we must stand from the perspective of justice and at the highest peak of morality.

"Then let's just stand by and watch the Americans show their power on our land?" asked King Hussein. He was older and Jordan was under the greatest pressure, so he asked this question.

"Of course not." Kusai said: "Now, war is not limited to military, political, and economic wars, which is more important. When we cannot make a breakthrough in the military, economic wars are one of our weapons!" (To be continued.
