At the beginning, Iraq, due to the situation, the most needed to strengthen was the Iraqi Air Force. They need to surpass Iran's Tomcats, they need to seize air supremacy from the Middle East sky, and they need to face the Israeli Air Force one day, or even finally face the United States.

Therefore, from various considerations, Iraq has given priority to developing the air force. Starting from the F-20, to the Phantom 4000, to the International Cooperation of the Super Seven, and finally to the Investment Y-10, Turbofan 6, J-H-7, and Iraq's investment in the air force can be said to be the largest. Iraqi personnel are also constantly improving in these projects. Especially after following the J-H-7, they will have certain independent research and development capabilities. When the Soviet Union collapses, they will dig up a large number of outstanding personnel from the Soviet Union and finally fiddle with a stealth fighter jet earlier than the US F-22. This is Kusai's greatest hope for its aviation industry.

Subsequently, the army's industry was also underway, especially the introduction of the T-72 production line and improved it, and two heavy trucks were introduced. On this basis, Iraq's own wheeled combat vehicles were developed. Moreover, talents like Dr. Boer were also obtained to improve the performance of the Iraqi Army's artillery. Iraq is preparing to replace its pure infantry with mechanized infantry to improve their assault capabilities and maneuverability.

However, Iraq is still very backward in the navy. At first, it was because Iraq only had a very short coastline and Iraq did not have any demand for sea, so it was only equipped with a small number of speedboats, which was at most a nearshore garrison.

Now, if Iraq wants to become a big power, its vision is not only limited to the Faora Peninsula, nor the Persian Gulf. The Iraqi Navy must at least cruise across the entire Indian Ocean. All coasts of Iran are Iraq's coastline.

The navy is a difficult-to-fly military branch. It is not like infantry, which can fight after three months of training, nor is it like tank soldiers. It can also go to the battlefield after training for a year. The navy of a big country needs to be accumulated over hundreds of years of history.

If you want to become a great navy, the personnel training has begun. However, the equipment is still unknown. If you are temporarily in emergency, purchasing warships is an option. However, in the long run, only by making it yourself can you meet the needs.

Later generations A San bought a retired second-hand aircraft carrier and modified it, and the price was even higher than building a new aircraft carrier. Moreover, he had to break his teeth and swallow it, accepting the price increase proposed by the other party. In the end, it not only delayed the service for a few years, but also cost a large amount of money.

Therefore, Kusai hopes to establish Iraq's first shipyard in the Port of Saddam with the technical assistance of the Eastern powers!

Starting from the production of civilian ships and small military speedboats, Iraq first needs to achieve a leap from scratch.

Because it is only the basic shipbuilding industry, there will be no technical backwardness in introducing supporting shipyards from major Eastern countries, and the cost is the lowest.

In May 1984, the Kusai special plane slowly landed at Capital International Airport.

As a delegation from the Middle East, Kusai's visit mainly included Baath Party Vice Chairman Taha Yasin, Economy Minister Hikmat, Foreign Minister Tarik, Industry Minister Amir Rushdi, Southern Military Region Commander Izart, and some entourage members.

Every time I ride this special plane provided by Kuwait, Kusai can always remember that pretty face. Unconsciously, he has not met Princess Sarah for more than a year. I wonder if she is doing well?

The cabin door opened, and Kusai took a breath of the air here, and felt a complicated feeling in his heart, because, in his previous life, this was the land where he grew up, and the old saying goes, fallen leaves return to their roots, but now, Kusai's roots are already in Iraq and in the hot land of the Middle East.

The loud national anthem sounded from the airport. When Kusai heard that it was the military band playing the national anthem of Iraq, Kusai's mind suddenly became rippling.

"The holy earth spreading its wings on the earth,

Your clothes are brilliant civilization,

Bless the holy land of the two rivers,

This contains glorious determination and broad mind.

This hometown created with the glorious sacred fire,

This is a better hometown than heaven.

Its mountains and rivers surpass the peak of the world,

There is also a plain that we are proud of.

We are the successors of Babylon and Assyria,

Because of our glorious history,

History radiates its light,

We have the sword of anger,

And the teachings of the prophets.

Oh, revolutionary warrior, you are the proud lion,

Oh, glorious peak and glorious legacy,

Move forward, fearlessly towards victory,

Let the glorious era reappear our holy land!

Our generation devotes everything without fear of hardships.

Oh, incredible glory, we have re-created

A country we build with firm determination.

The martyrs went on one after another.

Our great country is full of pride and vitality,

Comrades build a shining fortress.

Oh, Iraq, may you always be the holy land of the Arabs,

It's like letting the night have the sun of day!"

Every time I hear this song, Kusai always feels that there will be infinite power. Iraq has a splendid history and culture. Iraq now has rich oil. Iraq needs to restore its former history and become a great power in the world!

This was a solemn moment. Amid the welcome applause of the people who were greeting, Kusai walked off the plane and walked towards the welcome crowd on the ground covered with the red carpet.

After taking a few steps, Kusai saw that the person who came to greet him was the Minister of Defense of the Eastern Power!

Kusai's current identity is still not the head of state in Iraq. Although Kusai has grasped more and more power, now the other party has sent the Minister of Defense to greet him, showing his great importance to him.

Kusai is very familiar with this Minister of Defense because he is a Minister of Defense who has been engaged in the leadership of the national defense science and technology and defense industrial front for a long time. He is an outstanding leader in the defense science and technology industry of the Eastern powers. For example, he organized and led the "Two Bombs and One Satellite" project and was the executive commander-in-chief. He led the establishment of the Second Artillery Force, and he led the development of intercontinental missiles, submarine-launched missiles, Galaxy computers, etc.

"Friends from the Middle East are welcome," said the Minister of Defense.

"Iraq and your country are both ancient civilizations with a long history. This time, I came to your country with the friendship of Iraq, hoping to deepen cooperation with each other." Kusai said.

The two hands were tightly held together.

After the greetings at the airport, the Iraqi delegation took a car to the capital city.

At this time, the Eastern powers had entered the stage of economic development. Looking out from the window, new buildings were also being built in buildings with the characteristics of this era. There were not many cars on the streets, and large 28 bicycles were still the main means of transportation.

Afterwards, the two sides held a reception.

In the spacious conference room, Kusai looked at the yellow-skinned people across the table, feeling very friendly.

"My country and Iraq have a long history of friendship. As early as the ancient Silk Road, we had been to the Mesopotamia." said the Minister of Defense.

"Yes, I also hope that our friendship will last forever. Your country is a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council and an influential power. Moreover, your country's economy is about to enter an era of rapid development. We attach great importance to the development of bilateral friendly relations with you." Kusai said.

The Minister of Defense is very familiar with this person in Iraq, because after the decision to invest the country's main force in economic construction, many national defense projects have not been invested and developed slowly. The army has to make way for the economy. Only by developing the economy first can the army invest greater investment. This is a very wise decision. Therefore, many important scientific research projects are facing problems now.

Under such circumstances, many projects were developing slowly. At this time, suddenly, investment came from the Middle East and saved many projects, such as Y-10, Turbofan Six, and J-H-7. They also brought a lot of benefits to some projects, such as the Super Seven. This fighter has been successfully exported to Pakistan. The Pakistan Air Force responded very well, with high maneuverability, advanced avionics, and its comprehensive performance reached 80% of the f-16, and the price was less than half of the f-16. After the domestic air force sent personnel to test flights, they praised it and its performance was higher than any domestic fighter. Unfortunately, since the modification of avionics was carried out in Iraq, the United States was very strict in this regard, and it could not get this fighter in China, so it was only envious. Although the body was produced in China, the avionics belonged to the United States.

After more than two years of further exchanges, the country has realized that maintaining good relations with Iraq is very important for the country, and the relationship between the two sides has been deepening. Therefore, with the arrival of Kusai, heavyweights were sent to receive the country.

Hearing Kusai say this, the Minister of Defense said: "Yes, we also attach equal importance to our relations with Iraq. Iraq has made many investments in our country, and both of us have gained real benefits. We are an ancient cultural country with a long history of 5,000 years. We are a country of etiquette. For our friendly country, Iraq, we also attach great importance to our friendly relations with your country."

After the two sides said some scenes again, they finally got to the point.

"His Excellency Minister of Defense, do you remember the last time the Persian Gulf was dropped by the Iranians and blocked the waterway?" Kusai asked.

"Yes, our oil tankers have also been affected. Fortunately, several countries in the Middle East have joined forces to reopen the waterways. Otherwise, the world economy will be affected." The Minister of Defense said, he was very curious. His Excellency Kusai's thinking is too jumpy, right?
