Iraqi President Kusai visited the Soviet Union, which is also an international major event. Journalists from all countries are paying attention to Iraq's actions this time. When President Kusai inspected the nuclear power plant built by the Soviet Union, he was kindly invited by the Soviet ambassador to Iraq to visit the Soviet Union. So, he just promised the nuclear power plant provided by the Soviet Union? There must be other projects!

Sure enough, the official news surprised them very much. Iraq will invest 500 million US dollars to participate in the Soviet satellite navigation project. Iraq hopes to use this navigation project to improve Iraq's domestic scientific and technological level, because Iraq will independently develop satellite navigation products suitable for civilian use to help the Soviet Union promote this global navigation project, which will be a win-win strategy.

The Soviet satellite navigation project has been widely discussed internationally. If this project is completed, it will give full play to its huge advantages in the civilian field. For example, field survey resources need to determine specific locations, such as transportation and in the wilderness, all need positioning functions. In particular, Iraq claims that after reducing the volume, navigation terminal products that can be installed on cars, or even handheld equipment, combined with digital maps, can bring great convenience to people.

However, more discerning people see that the Soviet system was developed for the military and serves military interests. What does this mean? Did the Soviet Union's huge military-industrial enterprises want to transform into civilians? Did the Soviet Union finally want to change the domestic economic structure under the leadership of Gorbachev? Joke. The Soviet Union had such a huge army and so many military forces. Gorbachev still had a firm foothold, so where could he sell the interests of the military?

The senior American leaders analyzed this conclusion at the first time. This is because the Soviet Union was short of money, so it absorbed Iraq's funds, but it was unwilling to export more technology to Iraq, so it limited Iraq's use in civilian use. Now, the US GPS satellite navigation project is also a dual-purpose military and civilian use. The accuracy of civilian use is one level lower, so they speculate that the Soviet Union must have done the same.

Even so, this news is explosive, and people outside don’t know that the news released by Iraq this time is only a small part of the agreement signed by the two sides. Iraq and the Soviet Union reached an agreement that will greatly damage the interests of the United States and threaten the strategic balance of the Middle East.

After another round of negotiations, an agreement was finally reached. Iraq will order three warships from the Soviet Union, one Hyundai, one Fearless Class, and one heavy aircraft cruiser.

If the greedy Red Navy agrees to let Iraq equip these warships, they must get enough benefits. The conditions offered by Kusai are beyond their control.

Iraq agreed. In order to help train Iraqi naval personnel, the Soviet Union will send more than 8,000 Soviet naval personnel to Iraq in batches after the warships are built to help Iraq master the operation, maintenance and maintenance of the three warships. Because Iraq does not have the ability to operate large warships and the navy has no experience, the Soviet Navy will stay at its base in Iraq for at least five to ten years, because it is impossible for Iraq to fully master the heavy-duty aircraft cruisers ordered by Iraq to have more than five years of time.

Originally, the navy was extremely reluctant, but removed the high-end granite anti-ship missiles and Su-27k carrier-based aircraft. Although the Soviet Union had just started developing such carrier aircraft, it was actually equivalent to selling a carrier to Iraq. The Soviet Navy's combat effectiveness of this warship was not as good as half of the Brezhnev built by the Soviet Union now, so they agreed.

Kusai proposed that because there are no anti-ship missiles and the specific design of the aircraft carrier, he needed to put forward a series of requirements to allow the Neva Design Bureau to make a slight improvement based on the prototype drawings. If there are insufficient designers, Iraq is willing to send the best engineers in the country to help for its aircraft carrier plan. Moreover, because there are too few Iraqi naval pilots and no technical reserves, Iraq hopes to send pilots to the Air Force Education and Training Center of the New Federovka Airport in Ukraine to train Iraq's own carrier-based aircraft pilots. There is a full-scale deck structure of the Brezhnev aircraft carrier, including the jump deck, which can also simulate the shaking of the ship to train carrier-based aircraft pilots.

The Soviet Union agreed to Kusai’s proposal. What designers can Iraq have? Even when they arrive at the Neva Design Bureau, they cannot get in touch with any confidential things. At most, they can design beds for sailors?

Of course, they didn't know that the so-called involvement of designers by Kusai is not really involved in real design. Even if Iraq is sincere, the Soviet Union will reserve it. It is impossible to let the Soviets teach the Iraqis how to design aircraft carriers step by step.

The most important role of Kusai in letting his own personnel is to communicate. For example, he will understand all the people in the design bureau, those who are capable and those who are talented, and then communicate well to prepare for the future. Therefore, these talents must not only have sufficient technical knowledge, but also have sufficient communication skills. It is difficult to find such talents, because most designers, that is, intellectuals, have a mentality that they cannot communicate or are not deliberately artificial under the education model. However, Iraq now has many talents, and such talents can definitely be found.

Talent and talent are always the most important. President Kusai is far-sighted and eager to seek talents. In later generations, most of the people from Neva Design Bureau went to the Eastern powers, and their contributions were also made to the modification of the Liaoning.

This contract is top secret. During the construction of the warship, during the sea trial and before it finally drove to the Iraqi military port, the Soviet Union would have claimed that it was built for itself, especially the heavy-carrying cruiser. If the news leaked, the United States would definitely interfere and let the contract be ruined. In particular, the United States would definitely manipulate Turkey to prevent the warship from passing through the Bosphorus.

The Soviet Union would finally make these warships permanently stationed in Iraq's naval bases gradually become fait accompli.

Both sides were very satisfied, especially the Soviet Union. Iraq agreed to the Soviet naval consultant's command power on these three warships, especially on aircraft carriers. In this way, the Soviet Navy finally made important progress in its strategy of going south to the Indian Ocean, which was equivalent to obtaining a reliable naval base.

Before this, the Soviet army had had similar experiences. When it was sold to Iraq's MiG-25, a large number of Soviet advisers were stationed in Iraq, and at most, nearly 10,000 people were flying many MiG-25s. However, after the Kurdistan came to power, the number of Soviet personnel was gradually reduced. So far, only a small number of Soviet people were at the H-3 Air Force Base.

On the third day of Kusai's arrival in Moscow, he began to arrive at the Neva Design Bureau accompanied by Marshal Gorshkov, the Soviet Deputy Minister of Defense and Navy Commander.

The Neva Design Bureau was established on January 18, 1931. At that time, according to the order of the Central Bureau of the All-Soviet Shipbuilding Industry Federation, the Special Shipbuilding Bureau of Economic Accounting was established: the Central Shipbuilding Design Bureau, which is responsible for centralizing the design of military shipbuilding and accelerating the revitalization and further developing the navy of the Workers and Peasants' Red Army. The first project of the Design Bureau was the "Leningrad" class destroyer with a displacement of 2,700 tons.

After being renamed to the 17th Design Bureau, it was changed back to the name of the Neva Design Bureau. After the location was relocated due to the war, it returned to Leningrad where it was originally located.

After decades of development, the Neva Design Bureau has become the oldest surface ship design bureau in the Soviet Union. All the main warships of the Soviet Union, including aircraft carrier cruisers, are products of this design bureau.

Marshal Gorshkov, who accompanied Kusai, was a famous figure in the Soviet Union. He was born in 1910 and joined the navy in 1927. Since then, he has devoted all his life to the Soviet Union's naval cause.

Gorshkov, who graduated from the Advanced Training Class of the Senior Chief of the Fulongzhi Naval School and Naval Academy, served as the captain of the Pacific Fleet frigate, destroyer, and detachment captain. During World War II, he served as the commander of the fleet, deputy commander of the Novorossiysk Defense Zone, acting commander of the 47th Army, commander of the 56th Army, commander of the Danube District of the Navy, and commander of the Black Sea Fleet. He participated in many battles and had rich combat experience. After the war, he served as the chief of staff, commander of the Black Connect Fleet, and the first deputy commander-in-chief of the Navy. In 1956, he served as the deputy minister of the Ministry of National Defense and commander-in-chief of the Navy. He has been serving as the deputy minister of the Ministry of National Defense and commander-in-chief of the Navy for thirty years.

Gorshkov experienced four Soviet leaders, Khrushchev, Brezhnev, Andropov and Chernek, and now he came down under the orders of Gorbachev. Marshal Gorshkov had a huge impact on the Soviet Navy. He advocated ocean attacks and competed for maritime hegemony with the United States, which was in line with the current Cold War mentality of the Soviet Union.

Moreover, Gorshkov was a firm aircraft carrier faction. Even during the Khrushchev period, who admired ballistic missiles the most, Gorshkov also passed the plan to build the first Moscow-class helicopter mothership with a large rear deck with the rhetoric of better searching for American nuclear submarines.

Gorshkov was very satisfied with the ordering plan of Iraq, so after taking him to visit the Neva Design Bureau this time, he would also take him to visit the Black Sea Shipyard.
