Chapter 482 The first tank rolls off the assembly line
Ali struggled to climb the coast, he was exhausted. When he wanted to give up, it was a powerful belief that supported him and allowed him to continue swimming forward.
However, the others did not have such great spiritual power. In total, they followed Ali to the shore, but five of them looked pale.
Ali didn't have any strength at all and felt like he was exhausted. Fortunately, it was summer and the temperature was not very low. If it was winter, even if he didn't drown, he would have to be frozen to death.
Ali was lying on the shore, thinking about something in his mind: Where did the mines come from? Did they accidentally fall down when he was burying the mine?
Absolutely impossible.
So, was it set up by the Iraqis? How did their ships pass through the minefields they arranged to get here? It seems unlikely.
He closed his eyes.
There was a rumbling sound in the sea breeze. They already knew that the Iraqis were using helicopters to search the sea all night. Once their ships were dispatched, they would suddenly act and use airborne anti-ship missiles to strike.
However, Alibaba always feels something is wrong. If the other party’s helicopter patrols, they should be flying back and forth. Why is the rumbling sound always there?
The Super Hornet helicopter started the second mine-breaking process.
It was a busy night!
Because the night was too dark and the Iranian missile boats sank too fast, they did not find that a mine they had just laid out played a role and successfully hindered the Iranian mine-building operation.
The sky gradually became brighter, and the calm Strait of Hormuz ushered in another busy day.
In Baghdad, Kusai was in a very good mood today because he was going to attend a ceremony to celebrate the successful launch of the first t72 tank produced by Iraq on the tank production line!
In fact, when I went there, there were already some semi-finished products. Unfortunately, since the imported main armor has not arrived yet, the territory is still in the final assembly line.
After the main armor arrived, the first batch of tanks entered the final assembly stage. Just yesterday, the first tank had been fully assembled. Therefore, a grand celebration ceremony will be held today.
On such an important occasion, the Iraqi President Saddam must be present. Therefore, Mehel is ready today, especially the lines, which are memorized thoroughly.
Also attending the ceremony were Defense Minister Adnan, the commander of the Republic Guard Rashid, and the armored Ali who was responsible for guarding Baghdad at this time...
At the tank manufacturing plant, chief designer Kartsev and Iraqi chief Ellard are already ready.
Originally, the tank manufacturing plant was a military restricted area, but today, Ali's troops are responsible for protecting it, which can ensure safety.
"His Excellency President, are you ready?" Couse asked President Saddam next to him.
"Yes. All the lines have been memorized." Mehel said.
"Well, in our production line, we hired a group of Soviet workers. Although we have carefully screened, we still cannot ensure whether there are KGB people inside, so we must be cautious and not reveal any flaws." Kusai said.
Although Mehel has played the role of president many times, Kusai is still very cautious. Because there are many rumors about the president outside now, there must be no accidents in such public occasions.
"Of course, the horse is here." A voice came from the front.
Kusai looked out of the window and had entered the factory area of the tank manufacturing plant.
To celebrate this day, the roadsides on both sides of the factory were filled with flags, fluttering in the wind, and several large banners were pulled out, shaking in the wind. You can see that the slogans celebrating the first tank made by Iraq that was launched! Allah is with Iraq! Long live Iraq and other slogans.
At the door of the assembly workshop, Kartsev stood in a spirit. Although he was old, his figure was still tall and his spirit was still high.
Since coming to Iraq, Kartsev has received more advanced treatment than in the Soviet Union. With a private car, a driver, and a villa, his monthly salary is almost half a year since he was in the Soviet Union. Kartsev is quite satisfied with his current situation. In particular, the improved t72 fire control system proposed by Kusaici is also nervously. Seeing his proud work that he has been infusing his life, he is becoming stronger, Kartsev feels satisfied.
Staying here to make use of the remaining energy is much better than spending old age in the Soviet Union.
Elad, who was standing by, was also waiting nervously. Elad was a tank player whom Kusai began to reuse after he came to this world. He had a unique method of using tanks, especially the potential of fire control systems. He gradually became an instructor of the entire division. He was also constantly learning by himself and mastering more knowledge of world-class advanced tanks. After careful consideration, Kusai finally decided to transfer him to serve as the head of Iraq here.
Elard is well aware of the great responsibility and all technical problems. Although Kartsev solved it, his main task is to coordinate progress and do logistics work. Elard is also studying all the knowledge of the production line and enriching himself. People like Elard have rich practical experience when entering the production line and are good at using their brains, and will make progress very fast. Moreover, Elard seems to have a talent in this area.
The car stopped, and the great President of Iraq, His Excellency Saddam, walked out of the car.
Suddenly, there was a burst of joyful applause around.
Kusai also got out of the car and followed President Saddam.
Kusai followed President Saddam and became the first person under President Saddam. No one was surprised at all. Although His Excellency Kusai was young, his military achievements had already been very good and had won the trust of all Iraqi people. The future ruler of Iraq must be this Kusai.
Of course, those who know the inside story are very sure that, needless to mention the future, Your Excellency Kusai is the actual ruler now.
"Mr. President, welcome to visit the tank factory and attend the tank downstream ceremony." Kartsev said.
Listening to the translation next to him, President Saddam said: "The tanks we made ourselves have finally been removed from the help of the Soviet Union. On behalf of Iraq, I would like to thank the Soviet Union for their help, Comrade Kartsev, the chief designer who worked hard here, and all the Soviets."
Listening to the president's words, it was so pleasant to hear. Kartsev smiled, and the president's words were praising the friendship between the Soviet Union and Iraq.
At this time, Iraq's top leaders and other heavyweights gathered together.
This is the first time Ellad has seen so many big people. He shouted excitedly: "Report to His Excellency the President, and report to all the leaders, the first tank in our tank production plant is about to go off the production line!"
In fact, with Elard's current identity, there is no need to say that, but he still positioned himself in the army and used a report method, but this made the scene more grand.
President Saddam nodded, and he walked to the microphone and waved to the cheering crowd. The scene became quiet. They were all listening to President Saddam's speech.
"Today, we are here, we are the most exciting moment when Iraq's first tank was launched, which marks that Iraq's heavy industry has finally developed to a new level. Our front-line soldiers need to provide an advanced main battle tank. Now, we have done it! Although you did not participate in the battle in person, your work is equally important as the soldiers fighting bloody battles on the front. It is precisely because of your hard work that our soldiers can have the powerful weapons of Khomeini, who produces their own production, attempt to subvert our regime with the export revolution! Our struggle against Iran will never stop until the entire Iranian people are completely liberated!"
"At the same time, the production of tanks is just the beginning. We must continue to work hard. If Iraq wants to achieve industrialization, ground weapons must be serialized. Not only tanks, but also infantry fighting vehicles, armored vehicles, off-road vehicles, trucks, and cars. We must all produce ourselves! We must completely build Iraq into a prosperous and modern country and a paradise for the Iraqi people! Whether it is Shiites or Sunnis, whether it is Arabs or Kurds, as long as they support us, they are the great Iraqi people! We will feel proud to live in such a great country! Allah is with us! Allah will always bless the great Iraq to prosper!" Mehel has been the substitute for President Saddam many times. These words are passionate and more incitement than Saddam himself said.
After listening to his will, everyone cheered.
The workshop door opened, and a T72 tank inside, with a 125mm caliber cannon, slowly sailed down from the production line. The angular turret and the iconic V-shaped waveproof board in front all showed strength and confidence. This kind of tank with a mighty posture is the main battle tank produced by Iraq itself! Even if you look at the entire Middle East, this is the most advanced tank!
Hero tank master Kusa, listening to the roar of the high-power engine behind, felt that the tank was very maneuverable. You know, there was a thousand horsepower behind him! He exposed his head outside the hatch, operated the tank, drove out of the production workshop, and parked a few meters away from the president.
The next project is to the president personally pedal the tank.
"Comrade Kartsev." Kusai looked at the old Soviet comrade with joy in his eyes and said, "Our production line has finally sailed off the advanced tank. Thank you and the other Soviets for their hard work."
"The Soviet Union and Iraq have great international friendships," Kartsev said. He just answered politely, friendship is secondary, and high wages are the main ones.
However, Kusai was just asking a topic, and the following words were important, and these words shocked the old comrades.
"After the production line is normally produced, our Iraqi new generation of main battle tanks will also immediately enter the pre-research. I hope you can serve as the chief designer." Kusai said. To be continued.
