Chapter 345: Marching into Bakhtaran
Mobile phone? When Gorbachev heard this, it was very easy. As a big country, there was countless pride in it. Every invention that was advanced than the United States was something that made them feel proud, such as this mobile communication technology.
"This can be introduced, but don't underestimate this phone number. The initial investment is quite large and the cost of use is also quite high. Is this necessary for your country?" Gorbachev asked.
"Of course it is necessary." Zhang Feng said: "If your country can help our country complete the construction of this mobile phone, our country will be very grateful."
This mobile phone is purely civilian, and military communication is still a conventional method. This mobile phone that connects to the municipal phone has many shortcomings. For example, the signal is not encrypted and can easily be eavesdropped. Therefore, the Soviet Union was very generous in exporting this kind of civilian equipment. What's more, now the Soviet Union needs a large amount of investment to develop its domestic economy, and the Soviet Union is looking for such profitable projects.
"In order to better enable this system to operate better, we also hope to purchase a batch of computers from your country to use for programmatically-controlled exchange of data. In order to better upgrade our equipment, it is best to be a large computer." Zhang Feng said.
The introduction of mobile phones is a little bit of behavior. Through this, the introduction of large computers is the main purpose, because Zhang Feng really can't find a better excuse.
Mainframe computers? When Gorbachev heard this, he knew that this kind of thing was strategic because it was related to numerical calculations in high-precision fields. For example, nuclear weapons and missile development all require mainframe computers.
So, after hearing this, Gorbachev hesitated. Although he attached importance to improving relations between the Middle East and contacts with Iraq, it did not mean that he could give any assistance to Iraq.
"Sorry, we cannot export this kind of mainframe computer," Gorbachev said.
When Zhang Feng heard this, he also expected it: "If we had this kind of computer, our entire telephone network would be faster, and we need this kind of large computer very much. It's a pity. We don't want to have too advanced models, even the old-fashioned besm-6 can do it."
The Soviet Union was not actually behind in the field of main computers. The besm-6 was the first supercomputer system in the Soviet Union to eliminate electronic tubes. It was designed by the Lebedev Institute of Precision Instruments and Computer Engineering in 1965 and put into production in 1967. This mainframe is composed of transistors and does not use integrated circuits. It was widely used in various fields by the Soviet Union in the 1970s.
The new "Elbrus" is a series of supercomputer systems developed by the Lebedev Institute of Precision Instruments and Computer Engineering since the 1970s. It uses a large number of integrated circuits and develops to the "Elbrus-2" to become a computer with 10 superscalar risc processors. It is considered to be the first supercomputer in the true sense of the Soviet Union. It is widely used in aerospace engineering, nuclear weapons research and defense systems.
What Zhang Feng wanted most was this supercomputer, but he knew that he would definitely not be able to buy it unless it was in a few more years.
"However, in order to support our friendly brothers, we can export to your country some small computers," Gorbachev said.
When Zhang Feng heard that the gap between small computers and large computers is very large. On the mainframe, it takes an hour to calculate the data, but on the small computer, it takes several days. However, it is better than not.
"That's so thankful!" Zhang Feng said.
The mission to the Soviet Union this time was basically completed.
Zhang Feng actually wanted to stay for a few more days to get a better understanding of this country, especially the navy. The Soviet Union had strong naval and warship research and development capabilities. As Iraq occupied the Port of Khomeini, Iraq's coastline had gradually grown a lot. Iraq's navy should have developed in recent years. If Iraq had not had enough funds at present, he really wanted to buy some light frigates and go back. The current equipment of the Iraqi Navy was only some gunboats at most.
If Iraq wants to become a strong country, a strong navy is necessary, and the navy requires time to accumulate, so it must be arranged as soon as possible.
Wait until you return home.
After meeting with a heavyweight Soviet figure like Gorbachev, Zhang Feng also thought of visiting the Black Sea Fleet in Ukraine, and received news from the country: the Northern Military Region was already attacking Bakhtaran.
He knew that his trip to the Soviet Union might end.
Every time I travel, I never had a complete one. In the end, there are always all kinds of things. This may be the helplessness of the superiors. It has become a luxury to take some time to sit by the swimming pool in the villa, bask in the sun, and drink a glass of juice.
The attack of the northern military region should not be in the way of the south, but Zhang Feng intuitively always felt as if something was about to happen.
Because of Zhang Feng's crossing and the Iraq-Iran War, it has now become one-sided. At this time in history, Iran has concentrated 100,000 troops to launch a fierce attack on the Basra area in southern Iraq. It has controlled the narrow zone with an area of about 200 square kilometers in Iraq. In the north, Iran dispatched 50,000 troops to launch an attack on the Mandali area in northern Iraq, penetrated deep into Iraq, and posed a serious threat to Baghdad. The Iraqi army, who was beaten up, organized seven counterattacks in front and after that, blocked the Iranian army in the border area.
Now, Iraq firmly has the advantage, and the Iranian army has no decent counterattack.
However, this is very abnormal. You should know that the biggest advantage of Iran and Iraq is the huge population base and Khomeini's bewitching people's hearts. At the beginning, even young soldiers were used.
Now, the weakest aspect of Iran is its lack of weapons and equipment. Iran's air force is almost paralyzed, and the army's armored forces are also suffering a lot of casualties. However, the Iranians still have the potential for war.
Especially when you go to the mountainous areas in the north, your armor advantages will not be well played. Moreover, it is now winter, and the climate on the Iranian plateau is very cold. Can the soldiers of the northern military region adapt to this severe cold?
Although the current international situation is very favorable, the hostages of the hijacking incident have not been resolved, and the United States will definitely stand on Iraq's side, but it is still a bit rash to launch an attack at this time.
Although Zhang Feng was in charge of the Southern Military Region, he only needed to guard the land he occupied now, what his stubborn father hated the most was that his command was said to be wrong. He was not very good at commanding wars, but he always liked to point fingers, especially the actions of the Air Force, who always interfered heavily.
Fortunately, the Iranian air force is almost disabled. As long as they don’t go to Tehran to provoke the other party, they usually won’t do anything, and they even avoid taking off.
Because even if it takes off, it will consume precious parts. At present, the Messiha Bureau is closely monitoring it. If the United States dares to repeat the Iranian gate in history, all he needs to do is expose this inside story and continue Reagan!
Zhang Feng didn't know that he could accurately grasp the pulse of the times every time, but this time, he miscalculated.
………
Bakhtaran Province, West Islamabad.
This is a small town located between Naft Shahl and Bakhtaran, with a population of only tens of thousands, but its strategic location is very important.
The powerful Northern Legion, led by Lieutenant General Hazraj of Iraq, finally arrived here after several days of trekking.
They have set foot on the land of Iran!
The altitude here is 1,500 meters, and the tank is also emitting black smoke due to insufficient power. The attacks in the past few days have been very smooth.
They guessed correctly that due to the war that has lasted for two years and Iran is under sanctions, the Iranian force has now weakened to its lowest point.
Although they were resisted along the way, the Iranians who only held light weapons could not stop their steel torrents, especially occupying two important bridges on the way to attack, and the armored forces had been successfully developed here.
At the forefront of the offensive sequence is the proud and famous Medina Division of the Iraqi army.
This division was founded in 1968. It is the most elite ace force in the Iraqi army. Medina is the second holy city of Islam, second only to Mecca. Name this division after this name shows the importance of this division. They are the sword in the hands of President Saddam. This time, if the sword is unsheathed, it will surely return with the blood of the Iranians.
The Medina Division is well-equipped and has the most advanced weapons in Iraq, with a total of 270 T-72 tanks, 250 BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles and 60 artillery pieces, as well as Sam-7 air defense missiles. It consists of three armored brigades and one infantry brigade, with a total of more than 10,000 people.
Because the other infantry divisions were slow to move, the Medina Division was advancing very fast, and they had already left the infantry behind far away. They had to wait for a day here, and at the same time, the supplies from the rear were also transported.
From here, attacking forward will become closer and easier, because Bahtalan is located in the Gare Valley, and they move forward and start going down the mountain.
As the troops advanced here, almost everyone believed that it was very easy to conquer Bakhtaran, occupy this land on the Iranian plateau, and use this as a base to further threaten Tehran.
A gust of wind blew, but Lieutenant General Hazraji did not feel any cold, and his heart was hot.
He will surely become famous in one battle and make great achievements! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian() to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
