Welcome to:.          In terms of global automobile manufacturing, the first choice is Mercedes-Benz. As a German company, Mercedes-Benz has consistently rigorous work style and strong R&D capabilities. At this time, the Mercedes-Benz ng80 series trucks were launched in the late 1960s by Mercedes-Benz Automobile Company. After ten years, it spent billions of marks to develop and finally launched the latest model in the late 1970s. In later generations, this car was eventually introduced by China and produced in Baotou, called Northern Mercedes-Benz. Although China had heavy-duty semi-trailers such as Jiefang, Dongfeng, Ouman, and Delong, all the performances of Northern Mercedes-Benz still exceeded these models. This is Germany's technology in the late 1970s!

Now, the ng80 series trucks have a global technical level. For example, as the basis of the whole vehicle, the frame of the vehicle chassis is not a structure that is as wide as the front and rear made of ordinary channel steel, but is not equally wide, variable cross-section, and side beam-type fish belly-type structure frame. This is Mercedes-Benz's unique frame technology. It can not only reduce weight, reduce volume, but also greatly improve the frame's bending strength, torsional elasticity and ability to withstand asymmetric cyclic alternating impact loads. In other words, when passing through difficult road sections, it can also maintain a certain speed without worrying about the impact of the frame being too large and deformed.

The working and survivability of this Mercedes-Benz truck has been greatly improved in harsh environments, especially in terms of logistics transportation support under wartime conditions.

However, its disadvantage is also very obvious, that is, this kind of car is too expensive!

Although Iraq has rich oil resources buried under its land, if Kusai had not deliberately developed Iraq's industrial and military power, these funds would be distributed to every Iraqi person, which would be enough for each of them to become an enviable rich man. However, Kusai tightened his belt and took the Iraqi people to build an industrialized country.

Iraq's large amount of funds are used to invest, including aircraft, missiles, and tanks. It is already very good that Kusai did not lend money to his Arab brothers like President Saddam in history.

Although Mr. Kusai is very generous at some point, for example, fighter jets, Phantom 4,000 worth tens of millions of dollars per Phantom, Mr. Kusai is also generous with his air force equipment and a warning aircraft of hundreds of millions of dollars. However, at some point, Mr. Kusai is also very stingy. For example, when he visited France last time, he did not stay in a high-level hotel. As a result, others who went abroad had to lower their standards. After entering Baghdad, they often went to the homes of senior Iraqi figures for free. In theory, they were concerned about the lives of these senior figures and brought them closer together. But in private, they were all guessing whether Mr. Kusai wanted to save the expense of eating at home.

Cars, unlike fighter jets, require large-scale equipment. In addition to military use, there is also a large market for civil use. Kusai estimates that there will be a demand for 10,000 vehicles in Iraq in at least five years, so Iraq needs to be able to afford such cars.

Another consideration is that the German ng-80 car has excellent performance and many conditions for maintenance. It is a bit delicate.

What Iraq needs is to take into account performance while being strong and durable. Just like the Chinese-made Type 69 tank, it adapts to the savage and rough treatment of operators. In this case, Steyer is also a very good choice. Although Steyer's products are not as high as Mercedes-Benz in various performance indicators, they are already sufficient for Iraq to use, and the cost of production and maintenance is very low. In addition, there are actual tests in China by later generations. Kusai has set his sights on the Truck Branch of Steyer-Damler-Puch Co., Ltd. in Austria.

Just as the New Year was approaching in 1984 AD, Kusai sent a delegation to the Austrian company to focus on the company's 91 series heavy trucks.

North, Red Empire, Soviet Union.

"At present, the situation in Iran is very complicated." Yasuk, who is in charge of Middle East affairs of the First General Administration of the KGB, personally reported to the highest-level figures in the Soviet Union, seemed a little excited.

After pacifying the words, Yasuk said: "At present, Tehran, the capital of Iran, has been taken down by Iraq. After pacifying the situation in Tehran, Iraq has withdrawn most of the troops. At present, the Iranian National Liberation Army is mainly responsible for the security work in Tehran. At the same time, the current nominal president of Iran, Rajavi, is the leader of this army. However, there are many Iraqi instructors in the grassroots of this army who are responsible for training, that is to say, this army is also in the hands of Iraq."

"Have the current government in Tehran gained recognition from other regions of Iran?" asked Defense Minister Ustinov.

"No, now, except for the occupied areas in Iraq, in other provinces and regions, no remarks have been made. The troops loyal to the original government are still maintaining their armed forces. Among them, in the Yazd region, the six newly established infantry divisions in Iran are currently in the process of starting a series of training, and the atmosphere of combat readiness is very strong. In northwestern Iran, the original Iranian garrison did not respond at all."

"In other words, although Iran is very calm on the surface, this battle will start soon?" Ustinov asked.

"With this possibility, Iran has no movement for the time being, because Iraq has always been the main attacker. After Iraq conquered Tehran, their northern military region has been exhausted after a long battle. They are currently mainly resting. It is estimated that within a few months, Iran will not have any greater war, and both sides are accumulating strength."

"What a pity, the little guy from Iraq's Kusai should take advantage of the victory and liberate the entire Iran." Ustinov said: "Since Kusai does not have that great ability, we, the Soviet Union, are very willing to help them maintain Iran's stability."

Compared to Kusai who is less than 20 years old, the youngest one is over fifty years old. The person named Iraq is naturally called the little guy.

Gorbachev looked at the defense minister with golden light in his eyes, and knew what the other party was thinking, and he began to regret what he said at the time.

Iraq is a key exporter of military equipment in the Soviet Union. By selling weapons to Iraq, the Soviet Union made great profits and invested in the domestic economy, especially improving agricultural levels. Gorbachev had great hope for Iraq.

However, in order to promote weapons exports to Iraq last time, Gorbachev had to come up with sufficient reasons. Therefore, he said that if we have good relations with Iraq, the Soviet Union could obtain a channel to go south. As a result, these old guys successfully passed the weapons exports.

However, Gorbachev only mentioned that, he opposed the war. Now, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan is already a quagmire, dragging the Soviet economy heavily. If Gorbachev was the top leader of the Soviet Union, he would immediately order to withdraw the army and the Soviet Union could invest the funds into the construction of the country!

On the market, even the supply of bread was a headache for him, but at the same time, the military was a bottomless pit that consumed money.

Today's meeting is very important. General Secretary Andropov's health is getting worse and worse, but he still attended the meeting in person.

Although General Secretary Andropov has been committed to internal reforms, he still has the same idea in his heart as other Soviet leaders in his external expansion. Being able to reach the Indian Ocean is a temptation that no master of the Great Soviet Union can overcome.

Now, the Minister of Defense finally proposed that it was time for the Soviet Union to take action!

"Gorbachev, what do you think about our problem of helping Iraq?" At this time, Andropov spoke.

Gorbachev felt nervous, and the General Secretary asked this because, first, this proposal was first proposed by him, and second, he had become one of the people the General Secretary trusted the most.

Moreover, Gorbachev knew that he could never say that he was joking last time, which was a very serious issue. Moreover, he could not say that the Soviet Union's economy is no longer enough to support the Soviet Union in opening up a second battlefield. The Soviet Union must focus its main energy on domestic reforms.

That was Gorbachev's idea, but these ideas will definitely be opposed by the military. Before gaining the greatest power, he must endure it and gain the trust and support of these people!

Gorbachev said: "Now, from the situation, it is very beneficial to us. We can gradually mobilize our troops, but the action cannot be too big. At the same time, in diplomacy, we can establish relations with the new Iranian government. When the time is right, we can dispatch troops and move south quickly."

Gorbachev could only agree, but the statement he put forward could delay the attack and delay it first.

"It doesn't have to be so slow. We can establish diplomatic relations with the new Iranian government while putting pressure on them to help them solve the power of the old Iranian government in the east. Whether they agree or not, we will take action. Moreover, we will resolve the battle quickly. Our armored troops can set off from Zarandhi in Afghanistan and fight to Chah Bahar in three days." The minister of defense had already begun to show a flame.

"In that way, we will be condemned by the international community, and diplomatically, we will be very passive," Gorbachev said.

"When did we, the Soviet Union, have we ever been afraid of Western social opinion?" Ustinov said.
