Chapter 528: Additional Purchase of Il-76

... After inspecting the recent battle situation within the Ministry of Defense, Kusai made major arrangements to plan a surprise attack when the Iranians were most relaxed in defense, and to defeat Tehran with extraordinary means.

After the inspection, the advance preparations were carried out around the battle in an orderly manner...

When Kusai returned to the Palace of the Republic, he received a request from the Soviet ambassador to Iraq to meet.

Unexpectedly, the Soviet Union had a reply so soon this time? Kusai was suddenly full of confidence in the arms sales, and he had to add another one to buy a cross Il-76 transport aircraft!

Kusai originally wanted to wait for Yunshen to be fully finalized and equipped with a transport aircraft converted into a passenger aircraft, but now, it is no longer possible to wait for that time. Iraq urgently needs strategic transportation forces to buy a cross Il-76 transport aircraft first to solve the urgent problem.

"Mr. Balkovsky, has your country replied?" Kusai asked.

"Yes, our Soviet Union and Iraq are countries with great friendship. We attach great importance to our relationship with Iraq. Therefore, under the kind care of our General Secretary, we finally agreed to the agreement on exporting these things to your country in principle." Balkovsky said.

After receiving the agreement handed over by the other party, Kusai looked carefully and said that in addition to requesting the Mi24 armed helicopter production line and improving the avionics equipment of the Su-25 attack aircraft, the Soviet Union agreed to export the others, especially when he saw the large computer, the Soviet Union also passed the P-23 ground-based missile that he had been looking forward to for a long time. The other party also agreed to export twenty. You should know that this was improved, and the final range could reach 900 kilometers. The accuracy and range were far greater than that of the Scud missile. More importantly, it was a solid-engine missile!

Using solid fuel means gaining the ability to strike quickly. After the development of our own nuclear weapons, with this missile, it will have the ability to deter the entire Middle East. Israel, Turkey's US troops, and these potential enemies are all within their own strike range.

Although Kusai has been spared no effort to develop cruise missiles, which is the darling on the battlefield in the future. However, ballistic missiles are the killer weapon and a national weapon that Iraq needs! With this kind of ground-based missile, and then reverse mapping and imitation, Iraq's ballistic missile engineering will develop from scratch.

Compared with fighter jets, the technology of ballistic missiles is actually much simpler. All North Korea's ballistic missiles were developed from the Scud missiles imported from Syria, and in less than a year, the corresponding model was imitated. Kusai was even more confident because Iraq's electronic technology had already come far ahead. There are too many such things, but they must be equipped. This is nuclear deterrence. For example, the United States and the Soviet Union have thousands of nuclear warheads, but they have never been launched in actual combat, and they are simply burning money.

Future wars are still conventional wars, with high-tech wars as the main focus, and Kusai accurately grasps the pulse of history. This is his advantage.

However, the Soviets were also very smart. They actually raised the price. However, Kusai knew that the Soviet Union was short of money now, and this transaction could be reached, which is probably a very important aspect.

"His Excellency Kusai, has the investigation result come out about the survivor on the UFO?" asked Balkovsky. For him, this is the most important thing, and this matter is of great importance.

"After our investigation, one of our cargo ships did rescue a man of unknown nationality and also recovered two bodies." Kusai said: "We have a great friendship with the Soviet Union. Since the Soviet Union needs this man, we are willing to give it to the Soviet Union for free. However, I also know that this matter cannot be involved in Iraq. I hope that when the news is announced in the future, it will show that this person was fished out by the cargo ship of the people. At that time, Iraq will not bear any responsibility and will not admit to any contact with the man."

They are all shrewd people, so they can push themselves completely and donate free of charge. How much did the Soviet Union spend? Even the Soviet Union's own army that is prohibited for sale internationally are very advanced ground-based missiles, and they are sold to Iraq. However, the other party is quite helpful. Not only did they hand over the living people, but they also brought two dead people.

Chen Bingyong did not expect that although he was alive, he was sadder than death. He was transported to a certain country like a prisoner on a cargo ship. After being interrogated, he was shamelessly betrayed by the other party again. This time he was to go to the Soviet Union. When he was flying a passenger plane and flew tremblingly over Sakhalin Island, he was afraid of being captured by the Soviet Union. Now, after walking around, he reached the most terrifying ending.

After hearing these words from Kusai, Balkovsky knew that this deal had been basically reached, so he had done a big thing with enough weight during his term. Unexpectedly, Kusai's words made him even more happy.

"In addition to these projects, we also want to import several Il-76 transport aircraft from the Soviet Union to meet our needs for front-line transportation materials." Kusai continued.

The Il76 transport aircraft is a large transport aircraft with a total take-off weight of 170 tons. Under normal circumstances, it can transport forty tons of cargo or 150 fully armed soldiers. Only with such large transport aircraft can a country's army have the ability to send troops from a long distance.

Since this aircraft was equipped with the Soviet army in 1975, the Soviet Union did have plans to export such transport aircraft.

"Your country is our friendly country, and there is no problem in purchasing this kind of transport aircraft," said Balkovsky.

"We hope to be delivered as soon as possible," said Kusai. This transport aircraft, now in the prime of the Soviet Union, only produced 50 aircraft a year, and now he is very eager to find such transport aircraft.

"We will convey it to the country, and if it is convenient, the first batch will be delivered by the end of the year," said Balkovsky.

Hope this is the case, Kusai said in his heart that it would be a bit hasty this time, but now the Soviet Union's industry is still very sound, Kusai is not very worried. In later generations, Russia lost a lot of talents, and often there was a deposit, but it was found that it could not be completed at all. Not only that, there would be a large amount of additional funds due to the extension of the construction period. Ah San often became the sucker.

This incident can almost be said to be a complete task. After sending off the Soviet ambassador to Iraq, Kusai knew that the rest was to wait and see their fun. Unfortunately, the Soviet Union did not use social public opinion methods. Do you need to add some information to them at the right time?

And another thing should be passed on to the Soviet Union at the right time.

In 1983, one more thing happened in history: the United States invaded Grenada!

Grenada is a Caribbean island country located 160 kilometers north of Venezuela and a population of only more than 100,000. Here, the United States has always regarded it as their own back garden, and Grenada is still on the main channel.

In 1974, the island country was under the control of Britain. In 1979, the New Gem Movement Party, which advocated Marxism-Leninism, launched a revolution to abolish the country's constitution and established a new government led by Bishop. From then on, Grenada's relations with Cuba began to become closer, which attracted the attention of the United States. For some reasons, on October 12, 1983, a coup occurred in Grenada and Bishop was under house arrest. On the 19th, a faction supporting Bishop organized a thousand people demonstrations in the capital and clashed with the army. Bishop and three cabinet ministers were beaten to death by the military. At the same time, the new military committee established by the military took over all the power in Grenada.

The United States believed that this was a very good opportunity, so on October 25, the United States used the excuse of "protecting" expatriates to jointly send troops to Grenada with seven Caribbean countries including Jamaica, Dominic, and Barbados to occupy most of Grenada's territory.

This war is a very important war for the United States, because it was the first time that it tried to use force to solve the problem after the United States suffered a heavy defeat in Vietnam. The US military won the battle without any effort. The United States' military strength was tested in this war, and the military's self-confidence began to rise again, and since then it has been trying to use force to resolve various local disputes.

If we give the Americans a head-on blow in this war and let them know that the war cannot be launched at will, it will have great significance. Therefore, Kusai had decided to intervene in this matter and not allow the Americans to achieve their goals so easily.

Although Kusai decided to intervene, it is very particular about how to intervene. Iraq directly sent troops to snipe American soldiers in the front battlefield? Iraq does not have that kind of strength yet, and Kusai will not let its soldiers engage in that kind of war.

Although Kusai did not do it himself, he knew that if a country received the news, he would definitely not be able to help it. In history, that country did not take action because the United States acted too quickly, and that country did not have a global fleet, so it did not react at all. As long as they were given enough time, they would definitely help their friends!

However, how to pass this news to the Soviet Union requires some brains and a reasonable excuse. We can't let Ajelina tell the KGB superiors that this was what she thought of? To be continued...
