Chapter 1554                                                            �

"The Soviets provide the combat capabilities of anti-aircraft carrier fleets to the world? This has nothing to do with our Asian Strategic Analysis Office? The intelligence agencies rarely provide us with Soviet intelligence..."

Alex looked at his boss incredibly.

Tell yourself, what does this mean?

What's more, the Soviets themselves were also building aircraft carriers.

"Isn't the Soviet Union starting to build a large aircraft carrier fleet because it was unable to fight against our huge aircraft carrier fleet and the Kirov-class missile cruiser did not fight back in front of our aircraft carrier fleet?"

Alex was even more confused.

His superiors did not explain or ask more questions.

The Soviets have been very proud these days.

Since the beginning of the Cold War, the US Department of Defense has never been as passive as it is now.

The huge aircraft carrier fleet that has always made Americans proud has always been the capital for Americans to show off their power.

Now, the Soviet Union has taken countermeasures against these invincible aircraft carrier fleets.

It is still a countermeasure using conventional weapons. During the Gulf War, the countermeasures actually allowed the incompetent Iraqi army to attack the powerful dual-aircraft carrier formation of the United States, causing unacceptable huge losses.

The reality is cruel.

The spread of news is now impossible in the United States.

If the president does not come up with a response, the president may be impeached by Congress.

Moscow.

These days are the happiest days for the Soviet military in the past two years.

In the past, unless mushroom eggs were used, the Soviet Union had no rival power in the face of the huge US aircraft carrier fleet.

The Soviet Union lacked large surface ships.

Previous Defense Ministers and other senior military officials all felt that the Soviet Union should develop nuclear submarines with stronger survivability and have secondary nuclear counterattack capabilities with strong survivability.

If a large surface combat ship develops, once a nuclear war breaks out, its survivability is too poor, and such a large target will be difficult not to be discovered.

Therefore, the Soviet Union lags far behind the United States in terms of large surface combat ships.

Compared with the huge fleet of aircraft carriers in the United States that was about to cover the world's oceans, the Soviet Union's aircraft carriers were only carrier cruisers, carrying a small number of vertical takeoff fighter jets and did not have too strong combat capabilities.

During the "Western-81 Military Exercise", Navy Commander Gorshkov pointed to their fierce landing troops and deceived the Minister of Defense Marshal Ustinov. The Marshal also felt that having a stronger surface combat ship could effectively improve their combat effectiveness. After the Marshal agreed to build a carrier cruiser with a larger displacement, several modifications were made to the final plan for the USS Kuznetsov aircraft carrier.

Marshal Ustinov's principle has always been that weapons are cheap and easy to use.

In large-scale wars, weapons and equipment must be produced quickly and costly, otherwise the economy will not be able to withstand it at all.

During World War II, although the quality and performance of the Soviet T-34 tank were not good, this kind of tank was easy to produce and had low manufacturing cost.

The Soviet army used the T-34 to use wolf pack tactics to siege the German tiger-type heavy tank to death.

Since then, the Soviet marshals prefer quantity!

After all, the Soviet Union's economic strength was not as strong as that of Western countries.

It was only since the Kuznetsov that the Soviet Union had a truly large aircraft carrier.

Now, the first Kuznetsov aircraft carrier that took off with a ski jump has not yet fully developed combat capabilities and is still in a sea test...

The carrier-based aircraft are still conducting various experiments.

People all over the world couldn't believe that the Soviets had not even figured out how to fight the aircraft carrier fleet. How could they have the combat capability to counter the aircraft carrier fleet?

The facts are right in front of us. The Soviets have electromagnetic bomb technology, coupled with the extremely coquettish anti-ship missiles from China, combined with technical advantages, the anti-aircraft carrier fleet's combat capabilities are naturally stronger.

"Sir, Iraq claims that these weapons are from China. What does the Soviet government say?"

A reporter asked an official spokesperson for the Soviet Union.

Is it the weapons developed by the Soviets that pose such a great threat to US aircraft carriers, or is it the technology-lagging China?

The whole world is confused.

The whole world knows that China's technology is backward.

The Soviets kept proclaiming to the world that everyone could purchase these weapons from the Soviet Union and that the U.S. aircraft carrier fleet would no longer be a threat.

Until now, no country has come to the Soviet Union to purchase.

There wasn't even a question.

Western journalists were happy to watch the Soviets suffer.

Iraq officially announced that the weapons were from China, not the Soviet Union.

It is obvious that the Soviet government was slapped in the face by the Iraqi government.

The official Soviet spokesperson looked at the reporter asking questions and sneered.

"Technology comes from China? How backward China's technology is, the whole world knows... China's weapons and equipment technology lags behind the world's advanced level for at least 30 years... Their army has not even completed mechanization. How could it be possible to research equipment and kill weapons in such an advanced combat mode? What's more, China's electronic technology is worse than that of the Soviet Union. Who do you think should have developed these weapons?"

The official spokesman of the Soviet Union said without shame.

As a spokesperson, he did not know that the technology of weapons was obtained from China at a huge cost by the military.

Even if you know, it is related to the dignity and face of the Soviet state.

We must firmly say that technology belongs to the Soviet Union.

"In addition, if it comes from China, would the Chinese government not express its opinion? This is an opportunity for their military industry to be famous, and they are all defensive weapons! Why don't they stand up?"

The Soviet Union first positioned this thing as a defensive weapon.

All reporters felt that this explanation was reasonable.

"Maybe it is because Chinese officials are unwilling to bear pressure from the West, and these weapons pose too much threat to the aircraft carrier fleet..."

A reporter expressed his opinion.

If the weapons come from China, China will be under pressure from the entire Western countries, which will affect the heating up technological cooperation relationship between China and Western countries.

"Yes, maybe China does not affect its technological cooperation with the West!"

Other journalists also think this statement is reliable.

China and Western countries are conducting comprehensive technical cooperation.

The Soviets sneered directly.

"Why are we subject to Western pressure? Whether it is electromagnetic bombs or graphite bombs, they are all defenses against equipment, not personnel killing... Weapons in the traditional sense cannot be considered as traditional weapons. Could it be considered by Western countries because of advanced technology? They are inhumane? Why do the United States and the West develop their weapons with huge lethality?"

The Soviets' rhetorical questions left all reporters speechless.

All reporters who report these news naturally understand the international regulations on weapons restrictions.

Electromagnetic weapons and graphite dust bombs are both emerging weapons. Although they are called bombs, they are not mainly used for human killing.

The object of action is the electronic system of advanced equipment, which allows the electronic system to be paralyzed to achieve the purpose of paralyzing the entire equipment.

In terms of lethality, it is even less powerful than an ordinary bomb.

"The Soviets are too shameless! All the weapons we used to attack the US aircraft carrier fleet came from China... Not only graphite bombs, electromagnetic bombs, and anti-ship missiles came from China, but even the Flying Shield-359 of the US F-117 stealth aircraft, and the 359 tanks we equipped a large number of them all came from China..."

The Iraqis disregarded the Soviets' faces at all.

After the Soviet Union declared that the weapons came from the Soviet Union, at Saddam's instruction, Aziz, the Iraqi Foreign Minister, personally declared to the world that the weapons came from China.

The shameless Soviets wanted to put light on their faces.

"Your Majesty, if you continue like this, it will not only anger the Soviets, but also the Chinese... We will no longer be able to buy any weapons and equipment from them..."

Ibrahim was very dissatisfied with the president's destruction.

He obviously wanted to drag China and the Soviet Union into the water.

It is unlikely that it will be dragged into the water, but Iraq will offend two powerful countries when it is fighting with multiple countries. Not to mention continuing to buy weapons and equipment, there will be no countries that Iraq does not want to continue to fight and help speak.

Xie Kai is very stingy.

Moreover, China has not made any statement on this matter.

Saddam looked at Ibrahim with a cold face.

"How much profit did China make when it provides weapons? In the most dangerous moment, it actually refused to provide weapons supply. It obviously hopes that we will lose the war, and its intentions are to be punished... The damn Soviets betrayed us from the beginning..."

The president now blames the unfavorable reasons for Iraq, which are all the unwillingness of China and the Soviet Union to continue to provide weapons and equipment to Iraq.

"If there are more flying shield-359, our air defense capabilities will be stronger. How dare the air forces of multinational forces bomb our various targets? But they are unwilling to provide them and stand with the evil Western countries..."

Ibrahim lowered his head and remained silent.

Xie Kai originally proposed to buy more Feidun-359. The president felt that the price was too high and even suspected that Ibrahim had sold out national interests to benefit himself.

Until now, Ibrahim has not yet resumed his post.

Ibrahim had no choice.

You can't say in front of the president, Your Majesty, China and the Soviet Union advised us to maintain peace, but you didn't listen to it and had to start a war. But now you can't defeat it, and your weapons and equipment cannot be replenished...
