Chapter 322 Military Parade

After leaving the conference hall and sitting in the car, Zhang Feng's thoughts kept fluctuating. When he came back this time, his father asked him to attend the military parade and stood next to his father. That is to say, his father was indeed determined to make himself the successor.

It can be said that over the past year, I have been fighting on the front line and made various contributions to Iraq. It is also worthwhile to have the current status. However, will my brother really be willing to give up? Will he do something to deal with him?

When he came back this time, his protection measures were stricter than last time. In addition to the last incident, Uday had been monitored for a long time. It was impossible to plan an assassination incident against him.

Also, why did my father mention the Soviet Union several times? He was so happy when he said he was introduced from the Soviet Union?

"Uncle, am I a little closer to the United States?" Zhang Feng said to Izart beside him.

Izart was there for this meeting and attending the military parade, so he followed Zhang Feng back to Baghdad.

Although Zhang Feng is very good at military affairs, he sometimes cannot see the essence of the problem clearly in politics, and he is also working hard to improve his abilities.

"It's not that we are getting closer to the United States, but that we are getting far away from the Soviet Union." Izart said.

Are you far away from the Soviet Union? Zhang Feng is puzzled.

"His Excellency the President is a person with great ambitions. If we want to rise, we must take advantage of the situation." Izart said: "We have a very close relationship with the Soviet Union. We have imported a large number of weapons from the Soviet Union. In fact, His Excellency the President also wants to get closer to the United States, but we can't find too many opportunities. Khomeini gave us this opportunity, and you have played a very important role. With your efforts, our relationship with the United States has further developed."

Zhang Feng understood it. It turned out that his father was very strong in political skills, and his ideas were also good at both sides of the two powerful countries!

"But, since you made your mark, you have been approaching the West, Europe, the United States, you are in contact with them, and even China in the East, you have shown greater enthusiasm, but you are indifferent to the Soviet Union. Therefore, I am afraid that the President will think that you, like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, are completely close to the West. However, the President has no obvious evidence, so it is inconvenient to say that you have brought weapons from the Soviet Union. Now, you naturally value the relationship with the Soviet Union. The President is naturally very happy."

Those who are in high positions must take the lead and find their own direction in the international tide.

Zhang Feng understood that in fact, he had never considered so much. The weapons of Western countries are more suitable for modern warfare, so he naturally bought a larger number of weapons from the West. Moreover, he knew that the development of history would eventually collapse. Perhaps, subconsciously, he already felt that the Soviet Union was a bit unreliable, so he did not become too interested in the Soviet Union.

If Iraq wants to develop in the gap between the two empires, it is indeed necessary to accurately grasp the pulse of the times, to establish good relations with the United States, and to establish good relations with the Soviet Union. In this world, there is only the Soviet Union, which is now a giant, dares to confront the United States head-on.

With Iraq's victory over Iran, the United States will eventually become alert to Iraq and may even put pressure on Iraq. In that case, it can rely on the power of the Soviet Union.

You can see from Iran now that if Khomeini was not a stubborn mind, he could have completely relied on the power of the Soviet Union. You should know that after the pro-American Bavi sided, the Soviet Union was very interested in Iran, and from the Iranian side, it could completely contain Afghanistan.

The Soviet Union has not yet shown its decline. The huge military-industrial enterprises are still moving forward at full speed. The criticized electronic technology backward is because the Soviet military experts have always been staring at their survivability in the nuclear war. Those integrated circuits cannot withstand too much electromagnetic impact. Only electron tubes can survive in the nuclear war.

Soviet tanks were pretty good.

After hearing Izart's words, Zhang Feng suddenly realized his eyes. It seemed that he really had to have some friendly exchanges with the Soviet Union.

October 3, Baghdad city center.

The morning sun shines on the ancient Middle East, and the Tigris and Euphrates rivers are shining with shimmering waves in the morning glow. At this time, the central square is already full of people.

Behind the distance is the six-story palace of believers, one of President Saddam's official residences. Not far away, the newly erected sculpture of Saddam is standing on a huge column, waving to everyone, never tireless.

On the rostrum in the center of the square, President Saddam, wearing military uniform, had already stood there.

Saddam also likes to wear military uniforms. Military uniforms make him look more heroic and majestic, and he is the image that a leader of a great power should have.

On Saddam's right hand, there is a young man who looks very young. Although he is young, he has experienced many battles and is already a well-known hero in Iraq. The God of War in Iraq, Lord Kusai!

On Saddam's left is Defense Minister Adnan, and he organized the military parade.

The person responsible for maintaining the order on the spot and protecting the president's security is the Iraqi Republic Guard, the most loyal to the president, who is from Tikrit, the hometown of the president.

In a stand in the rear, there were journalists from all over the world who were invited to attend the event.

President Saddam is full of energy today.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the military parade officially began.

The first thing that came was an infantry platoon.

When Zhang Feng looked at the walking posture of the soldiers carrying guns like shovels and swinging their arms high, he wanted to laugh. Can this be called a military parade?

Although it seemed like the formation was neat, it was actually very messy, the leather shoes were not raised as high, the head was not collapsed as straight, and the cuffs were not on the same line. However, they were indeed not required to do so. They were just temporarily pulled from the field troops and did not undergo professional training for half a year.

Next was a square formation composed of several T-72 tanks. They were a tank company of the Republic Guard. They once went to the front line in the battle of Horamshahr and were a tough-style force.

The t-72 tank is holding its muzzle high, as if showing off its force to the world. The t-72 tank is the trump card in the Iraqi army.

The reporter behind raised his camera and took pictures of these scenes. After returning, he exaggerated that Khomeini, who was like a madman in the eyes of the Western world, could not compete with a powerful army like Iraq.

Then, some chariots came, making everyone's eyes look straight over.

A large field truck driven by four axle, with huge wheels rolling and the front windshield tilting downward, which is the unique rough Soviet style. The most eye-catching thing is the round thing on the upper part of the car body, which is a ground-to-ground missile!

Scud!

All the reporters in the stands were sensational. They did not expect that President Saddam was so confident that in the grand occasion of the military parade, Iraq's national weapon, tactical ground-based missiles would appear!

The "Scud" missile (Soviet No. R-11, Scud is named by NATO) is a short-range ground-based tactical ballistic missile developed by the Soviet Union in the 1950s. It is a copy of the German V-2 missile. It has two types: A and B, which can be equipped with conventional warheads and nuclear warheads, and is launched using vehicle-mounted maneuvering. Type A was put into service in 1957, and Type B is an improved type of Type A, and it was put into service in 1965.

The "Scud B" missile has a length of 11.37 meters, a diameter of 0.885 meters, and a take-off weight of 5.9 tons. The propellant uses 3.7 tons of dimethylhydrazine and red smoke nitric acid. The warhead weighs 1 ton and can hold 860 kilograms. The killing radius is about 150 meters. The missile adopts inertial guidance, with a maximum range of 300 kilometers and a circular probability error of 300 meters.

Since 1980, the Soviet Union has replaced the "Scud B missile with a new generation of solid-motor medium-range missile SS-23. At the same time, it has pushed this missile into the international market in large quantities. Egypt, Syria, North Korea and other countries have all equipped this missile.

This kind of missile was equipped to the Northern Military Region.

Ballistic missiles refer to missiles that fly according to predetermined procedures under the action of rocket engine thrust, and fly according to the trajectory of free throwing objects after shutdown. The biggest advantage of this missile is its indefensibility. When the warhead falls at an extremely high end speed, there are great technical problems to intercept. In later generations, the United States spent countless money to develop NMD and TMD defense ballistic missiles, but the effect is still very limited.

This weapon exported to Iraq is naturally an offensive weapon that Saddam values ​​the most. This time, taking advantage of the military parade and showing it to the world can put strong pressure on Iran.

In Saddam's eyes, this is naturally the most powerful weapon, but Zhang Feng doesn't think so.

The range is only 300 kilometers, and it cannot cover Tehran, Iran at all on the Iraqi border line. Moreover, the error is too large, with an error of 300 meters! The ground attack cruise missile that he is developing, the Red Bird 2, has an error of at most only more than ten meters, which is an order of magnitude difference!

Moreover, the cost of Red Bird II is only one-tenth of that of this Scud. After improving the engine, the range will be greatly improved.

Military parades are a means to show one's own force. However, will the display of such an offensive weapon be excessively stimulated by other countries, such as making the United States more alert to Iraq?

This Scud missile became the focus of this military parade, so that when the Iraqi Air Force's most advanced MiG-25 passed through the sky, the reporter's eyes were still staring at the missiles that disappeared from their sight.

The next day, the headlines of all newspapers in various countries were the Scud missiles installed in the launch vehicle. In contrast, AFP's newspapers were not so outstanding. Their headlines were the person on the rostrum. Next to President Saddam who frequently waved his hands, there was Iraq's No. 2 person: Kusai Abdullah.
