At the same time, the Saudi side also stated that its own oil equipment will be repaired as soon as possible to resume oil exports.

Like sending charcoal in the snow, after a series of measures, oil prices finally dropped.

What the United States is looking forward to most is the drop in oil prices. Therefore, after Iraq paid the deposit, the United States first delivered the Sparrow missiles in its warehouse to the Iraqi Air Force. Now, the Sparrow missiles have developed to the new AIM-7M , these AIM-7-E2 models in stock can just be equipped to the Iraqi Air Force, and also earn a fortune by the way.

Qusay was at the airport, watching the American planes fly to Baghdad. After unloading these things, his face was full of joy. In this way, the temporary shortage of ammunition for the Iraqi Air Force will be solved, and it will be able to be produced by our own side. Time for missiles.The arrival of the next batch of Maverick missiles and Paveway laser-guided bombs will increase our own precision ground strike capabilities. If the Yankees find out in the future that the bombs that fell on their heads were made by themselves, I really don’t know what to do. What do you think.

Using oil as a weapon to achieve your goals is really very useful. Now Iraq has not only solved the problem of funds, but also solved the problem of insufficient ammunition reserves. Now, Iraq can only continue to use oil weapons to attack British again!

In his free time, Qusay came to Basra, which is already an important industrial city. In particular, it has the largest ironworks in Iraq. Moreover, at the beginning of the year, the steelworks updated their equipment to produce Iraqi The special wear-resistant metal smelting equipment used in the production of imported heavy trucks, the drive shafts, gears and other components of heavy trucks all need to withstand a lot of torque. If Iraq wants to completely localize heavy trucks, it needs to produce All kinds of metal raw materials can be produced by ourselves.

In addition to these, Iraq has also updated a new set of equipment here so that it can produce marine steel required by the shipyard.After a year of construction, the Iraqi shipyard has begun to take shape, and construction can start next year. By then, this shipyard will not only build a few Iraqi missile boats, but will gradually have the ability to build civilian ships , Therefore, Iraq also needs to produce ship steel products by itself.

In these projects, those people brought from the big eastern countries played a very good role. They are the mainstay of the factory. They are skilled, motivated, and willing to endure hardships, which can just make up for the extreme shortage of talents in Iraq.

Moreover, Iraq has newly established a metal research institute in the city of Basra to study various metals that Iraq needs. Whether the alloy is qualified.

This institute of metals has brought together almost all talents in this field in Iraq, including professors who have returned from abroad, local graduate students from Iraq, and experts invited from major eastern countries.The leader of the institute is Jamil, a famous Iraqi metallurgist. (After searching for a long time, I couldn't find the full name. It's a pity. If anyone knows, please let me know.) The Metal Research Institute is divided into two research institutes, which are responsible for civilian and military projects respectively.

The civilian research institute is very close to the steelmaking plant, but the other research institute is in another suburb of the city, far away from here.

Moreover, the guards there are very tight, especially recently, and intelligence personnel from the Messiah Bureau are monitoring the surrounding situation.

Qusay's convoy did not enter the city of Basra, but detoured into the military research institute of the Metal Research Institute from outside.

When Qusai's convoy arrived, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun in the west cast a long shadow on them.

"The president is welcome to come and inspect." Jamil was already waiting outside.

With a height of 1.8 meters, Jamil stands out from the crowd even in Europe, and here, he is even taller than Qusay, who is only 1.7 meters tall. He wears a pair of glasses and looks a little gentle.

"Professor, thank you for your hard work. I just came to see how our progress is?" Qu Sai was very anxious.

Qusay is of course very anxious, because the information on the Chobham 2-generation armor, which took countless people's efforts and one of the agents is still imprisoned in the UK, has all been put here. Iraq needs its own efforts to come Prototype the main armor of your own futuristic main battle tank.

That agent, Iraq is still trying its best to ask the British side for it, and, with Qusay's follow-up oil production increase, he believes that he will let the British obediently send him back.And these materials must bear fruit!

Although Iraq has more and more scientific research talents, it is absolutely not qualified to study the main armor of tanks. Iraq still has a long way to go.

However, now it is just to transform the obtained information into actual products, so the difficulty will be much smaller.Although it is much smaller, it is also a difficulty facing the Iraqis.And this kind of difficulty must be overcome by the Iraqis themselves.

Qusay once thought about handing it over to the Soviet personnel he hired to study with Kartsev. Among those personnel, several were specialized in composite armor.However, in the end, he still denied his idea.The main armor is the core secret of the tank, which is kept extremely secret by all countries. Even Iraq has spent huge sums of money to introduce a full set of T-72 production lines, and the main armor is still imported from the Soviet Union.

If the Soviets saw their materials, who knows if they would sneak back to the Soviet Union?Qusay didn't want to make wedding dresses for other people.

Fortunately, the information obtained not only includes the design information of the Chobham 2 armor, but also comes with metal processing technology, which makes the responsible Jamil overjoyed. With the processing technology, they only need to follow suit. up.

So, after getting the technical information, Jamil immediately led his most outstanding personnel to start tackling key problems.

However, the specific processing process is also extremely troublesome. They have just started to work, and President Qusay has come, which shows that President Qusay attaches great importance to this project.

Leading Qusay to the conference room, Jamil gave Qusay a report.

"We are now studying the data. We need to recalculate all the data on the data and verify all the content on the data. In this way, we can digest and absorb the data." Jamil said.

Qu Sai nodded: "That's right, that's how it should be. Our pace must be steady, and we must study these materials thoroughly."

"Now, according to the processing technology, we are preparing to start trial production. Although we haven't officially shot the target yet, we expect that we should be able to achieve those protection data. This kind of armor should exceed the main armor of the T-72 main battle tank we are equipped with. , even surpassing the main armor of any tank currently in service in the world." Jamil is very confident.

At this time, the U.S. depleted uranium armor is still under development, so the Chobham 2 armor has absolutely top-notch protection capabilities.

"I hope it can meet our needs. In this way, we will have an advanced armor. Our chief designer has already begun to design our next-generation main battle tank. This kind of main battle tank needs to use our own armor. Armor." Qusay said: "Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and the scientific and technological workers who are struggling on the front line of science and technology are outstanding talents who change the world. I hope everyone will continue to work hard and strive to realize our self-produced armor as soon as possible And use, the lives of our Army brothers are at stake."

Qusay's speech was both encouragement and urging. The people present were all deeply encouraged. Their research is highly valued by President Qusay. They need to produce this advanced armor to give back to President Qusay!

Chapter 749

After leaving the secret metal research institute, Qusay came to the artillery production plant in northern Baghdad, where another world-class talent was working hard for him.

Dr. Bull, who had no ambitions in the Western world, is now working diligently in the Middle East, which he never thought of, helping Iraq's artillery industry develop from scratch and from small to large.

Originally, this was just an artillery repair factory. With the support of Qusai and led by Dr. Bull, Iraq's own artillery production began here.

Qusay promised to help Dr. Bull realize his dream of a super cannon, but before that, Dr. Bull needs to develop Iraq's own artillery industry and help Iraq realize its own powerful tank gun design.

Now, a long time has passed, and Qusay really wants to know how far Dr. Bull's work has progressed.

When I came to the artillery production plant, it was almost dark. In the winter in Baghdad, the temperature had dropped to zero degrees.

However, Dr. Bull's enthusiasm was high. When Qusay saw Dr. Bull, he was wearing an ordinary shirt and working in the newly established workshop in the artillery factory.

"Dr. Bull, you have worked hard." Qusay said.

After Qusay finished speaking, the translator immediately translated the words to Dr. Bull.

However, Dr. Bull ignored him, and continued to work at his workstation. He was fascinated by the large equipment.

Seeing the cold scene, the translator next to him was a little angry and wanted to step forward to pull him, but Qu Sai stopped him.

You know, scientists are a little weird, and Dr. Bull's temper is even weirder. Otherwise, why did he offend so many Americans in the first place, and finally made his own research projects unable to get the support and funding of high-level American officials.

Although Qusay is the president, once Dr. Bull's temper comes up, he still won't pee on you. As a president, you must have a big heart.

After a long time, Dr. Bull turned his head and said, "President Qusay, are you here?"

"Yes, Dr. Bull, how is our project going?"

"Very bad, very bad." Dr. Bull shook his head.

I knew that there must be a reason for Dr. Bull to ignore me. Qusay looked at Dr. Bull who turned his head away again, and knew that this old guy who was almost 60 years old, like a six-year-old child, was having a temper tantrum .

This is also easy to solve, the right medicine.

"What's going on?" Qusay said: "Dr. Bull, you are the best scientist we have invited from Iraq. We are very supportive of your work. Your work is related to the future of our Iraqi Army and is very important. Yes, what's going on now?"

"Important?" Dr. Bull said: "Since my place is the most important, why can't even the electricity I need be guaranteed on time?"

Hearing this, Qusay was also annoyed: "What? Our important artillery factory can't even supply electricity? How can this be possible! Someone, call me the director of the Baghdad Electricity Bureau immediately, and I will let him Explain it to Dr. Bull face to face."

After hearing this, Dr. Bull was finally happy: "President Qusay, as long as the power problem can be solved, our production line can be put into production. Iraq will have its own complete 155mm howitzer just like South Africa. , and become the army's main fire suppression weapon."

Before coming to Iraq, Dr. Bull’s company exported advanced military technologies such as the GC-45 155mm plus howitzer to South Africa in order to raise sufficient funds, helping South Africa establish a complete production line for 155mm artillery. However, at this time South Africa is a country subject to an arms embargo by the United Nations because of the apartheid system. In an accident, Dr. Bull's company was found to have links with South Africa. He was imprisoned and his company went bankrupt.

However, South Africa has since become one of only a few producers of advanced 155mm howitzers in the world.

Now, Dr. Bull is very convinced that this production line can also produce advanced artillery, as long as the problem of power shortage is solved.Originally, when he came here, President Qusay had vowed to fully support his work, but now, even a basic electricity supply is insufficient, how can this make Dr. Bull not angry.

Now that President Qusay agreed, Dr. Bull also changed his attitude. After all, he still has a good impression of President Qusay.
