Ukraine is one of the Soviet republics, connecting Russia to the east, the Black Sea to the south, Belarus to the north, and Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Moldova to the west. Its land location is very important and it is also a key area of ​​the Soviet Union.

Moreover, Ukraine has a relatively superior geographical environment. Affected by the warm and humid airflow of the Atlantic Ocean, most areas have temperate continental climates, which are in sharp contrast with the severe cold in the eastern Soviet Union. Near Kiev is a famous granary in the Soviet Union. The climate conditions are suitable and rich in minerals. Thirty percent of the Soviet Union's military-industrial enterprises are all set up in Ukraine, mainly concentrated in the machine manufacturing industry, metallurgy, fuel power industry and high-tech sectors, and mainly produces rocket devices, aerospace devices, military ships, aircraft and missiles and other military products.

In terms of aviation, the largest large aircraft in Ukraine are Antonov Design Bureau, An-70, An-124, and other large aircraft, which are the Soviet Union's proud strategic transportation forces. The two missile-producing factories in Pavlovsk Oblast and the Pavlograd Machinery Manufacturing Factory in Dnepropetrovsk Oblast are the largest ballistic missile production sites in the Soviet Union. The ss-18 strategic missiles, ss-24 missiles, railway carriage maneuverable SS-25 missiles, etc., which can carry 10 sub-guided nuclear warheads, all come from these two missile production plants. Moreover, the aerospace technology of the "Southern Machinery Manufacturing Factory" is also very advanced, and several large Soviet launch vehicles are produced here. Ukraine also has the best space launch center in the Soviet Union: Baikonur Space Center.

In terms of shipbuilding capabilities, three of the six Soviet shipyards that built large surface ships were located along the Black Sea coast of Ukraine. The Black Sea Shipyard in the Port of Nikolayev was the only Soviet shipyard that could manufacture aircraft carriers. The largest aircraft carrier with a displacement of 67,000 tons is being built, and another giant aircraft carrier with a larger displacement has also started construction. The other two shipyards, the "June 1 Shipyard", are also located in the Port of Nikolayev, mainly build cruisers and destroyers, and the famous "Glory" class missile cruiser comes from here. The "Bront Shipyard" is located in Kerch, the Crimean Peninsula, mainly builds destroyers and frigates.

In terms of army equipment, there is Kharkov Molozov Mechanical Design Bureau, one of the two major tank design bureaus in the Soviet Union. It is famous for Kartsev's design bureau in Lower Tagil. There were t-34s that were famous during World War II, as well as t-64 and t-80 tanks that are now trembling in Western countries.

In addition to these famous ones, the other "Magnit Electric Factory" located in Kanne City, "Radio Instrument Factory" located in Smera, etc. Various military-industrial enterprises are established in Ukraine.

Kusai has already salivated himself with such a hot land. Now that the time is ripe, he can finally take his hands out and start from Ukraine!

Being far-sighted. What can be predicted within the next ten years is one of the biggest advantages of Kusai coming to this world. He knew what the future of the Soviet Union would be. He was deeply saddened by the decline of Ukrainian military-industrial enterprises in later generations. He also felt sorry for the fate of the two aircraft carriers that were disintegrated on the ship. In this historical tide, Kusai could make the choice that converts various international events into Iraq's interests!

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine simply did not have enough ability to solve various crises it faced. There have even been many painful experiences of important military facilities being powered outages because they could not afford electricity bills, and even important air defense bases. The famous design bureaus were struggling to endure their own lives.

Kusai is not a savior, but Kusai can save them, for example, move them from Ukraine to the thriving Iraq!

Although Kusai knew that if the Soviet Union did not disintegrate, then the unipolar world of the United States would not come, and Iraq would not have the fate of becoming a puppet of the United States in the future. However, what he could do was to delay the disintegration of the Soviet Union and could not avoid the disintegration of the Soviet Union. He could invest millions or even tens of millions of dollars to help the Soviet Union. However, it was impossible for him to use all Iraq's income to invest in the bottomless hole of the Soviet Union. Even so, it would not be possible to save the Soviet Union. Gorbachev would be on the stage soon. Kusai is not omnipotent and cannot stop this historical trend. So what he can do is to get more benefits in this huge historical change.

Although it has been five years, from now on, we must start preparing. Kusai gave his main Amir, who was responsible for the introduction of equipment, and reminded us of the new main direction: Ukraine!

Although the current Soviet Union is still as powerful as it appears, various problems have begun to arise inside it. From now on, those middle-level and high-level personnel are willing to dig out the Soviet Union's corners for their own interests. Iraq secretly carried out military purchases from the Soviet Union, which was actually smuggling, which kicked off.

Amir received the order from Kusai and also understood the meaning of President Kusai. He is actually good at this kind of activity.

Mrs. Thatcher no longer had the calmness and calmness she used to be. She looked at her aide and asked, "Now, are we facing a very serious crisis?"

No one answered that they felt a little tricky about the current situation.

The Energy Minister had no choice but to explain: "Now, the international oil price has dropped to ten dollars per barrel. We have started selling at a loss. Every time we sell a barrel of oil, we will lose two to three dollars. And now, the oil price still has no trend of turning around and we still want to continue to fall."

"Since that's the case, then we will temporarily stop mining crude oil, which can reduce our financial subsidies. Wouldn't it be better?" said an aide.

"No, that would never work. If we stop mining crude oil, it means that we have lost in this battle, and Iraq has successfully defeated us with their means. We have invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the North Sea oil fields. If mining is stopped, then those oil workers will be unemployed and the employment situation in our country will worsen." Mrs. Thatcher said.

"But if we don't stop mining oil, then we can't invest in the oil industry any longer. Our only way is to sell our oil industry stocks, which are just cheaper Iraqis. Iraq is deliberately destroying our oil industry."

Mrs. Thatcher was very disappointed. The guy in the Middle East was deliberately trying to completely destroy the British oil industry. Britain has been losing money to mine oil and competing with them, but this is simply impossible to compete. Could it be that Britain compromises like this?

The conditions proposed by Iraq are too abominable. No matter which condition, Mrs. Thatcher felt that it was unwilling to agree, but the current situation is very unoptimistic.

She only encountered such a thing once, when she was discussing the issue of Hong Kong's ownership with the Eastern country, she felt the first time she felt a sense of powerlessness as the leader of the British Empire. This time, this feeling emerged again.

"Perhaps we can ask the Soviets for help." At this time, an aide suggested.

If this proposal is in normal times, it will be considered nonsense immediately. How is this possible? As a major Western country, Britain has been engaged in a cold war with the Soviet Union. Britain wants to ask the Soviets for help? That is simply unimaginable.

However, Mrs. Thatcher opened her eyes wide and looked at the staff member: "Continue to talk."

"Middle Eastern countries have joined forces to reduce prices, and our British oil industry has suffered a great damage because our oil fields are offshore oil fields and the cost of mining is high. You should know that in this world, there are not only us who have high oil costs. The cost of mining oil fields in the Soviet Union is also quite high. Moreover, unlike us, now the Soviet Union almost relies on selling oil and natural gas to maintain their economy. The Soviet Union has borrowed many debts from the Paris Club. Faced with the increase in oil production in the Middle East, the sharp drop in oil prices, the Soviets will never sit idly by."

This sentence made everyone's eyes lit up. None of them expected that the United States, which they trust the most, had been sloppy in this matter and did not want to use this matter to put pressure on countries in the Middle East. In fact, it was to ensure that they could enjoy the various benefits brought by low oil prices. However, the Soviet Union would never sit idly by and watch this happen. The Soviet Union now made money by selling energy, and now energy is no longer making money. What did the Soviet Union use to maintain their economy?

"The Soviet Union put pressure on Iraq to reduce production, and at the same time, our crisis will be lifted accordingly. Is this what it means?" Weber asked.

"Yes."

"But, Prime Minister, it's very difficult for us to implement this plan now." Weber said: "Because, the top leaders of the Soviet Union are not focusing on energy at all. They are all fighting for power and fighting for power."

For the Soviet Union, energy issues are very important, but when it comes to new power issues, it is even more important. They have already received news that Chernenko has been hospitalized for more than a month, and I am afraid he will be almost out of business. However, this old man is very stubborn and has never designated an heir.

They fought very hard.

"Their power struggle may last for a month or a year, but we can't wait that long, and our North Sea oil fields can no longer be delayed," Webber said.
