Babylonian Empire

Now, in the Department of Computer Science, several professors are busy on their computers, one by one instructions are input into the interior, and then they wait for the response from the other end of the computer.

Soon, there was a response on the computer, and the response came from Germany!Iraq's first e-mail, sent successfully, got a reply from the other side.

This is a clarion call for Iraq's beginning to enter the Internet.

While popularizing computer education in Iraq, the Internet construction in Iraq is also developing rapidly.In fact, this era cannot be called the Internet, because the TCP/IP protocol has not yet appeared. However, in addition to the personal computer business department established by Ousheng Company, another network department has been established, which has been researching key problems. With the products of Ousheng Company, the two major cities of Baghdad and Basra are the core main nodes, connected by optical fiber, and other cities have also carried out network interconnection.

At present, this is still an education and scientific research network, and those connected to the network are mainly educational and scientific research institutions. However, as the network gradually matures, this network will become the backbone network of Iraq in the future.

In later generations, Iraq has always been very rare in terms of network applications, but now, Iraq has come far to the forefront of the world in this regard.

Qusay has never been stingy about these major technological products that can change the quality of people's lives and improve the overall national quality.

Computers will soon enter the homes of ordinary citizens, because thanks to Iraq's rich oil resources and Iraq's investment in the country's economic development, the living standards of Iraqi citizens are very high in the world For example, mobile phones, which were still a cosmetic project for a few high-level people abroad, were gradually used by ordinary people in Iraq. Of course, this is related to the low cost and low phone prices in China.

"President Qusay, Ousheng Company, thank you very much for your strong support." Sarah said to Qusay while walking. At this time, they were inspecting Ousheng Company's high-tech industrial park in the north of Baghdad.

"This also solves the employment problem of some of our Iraqi personnel. We very much welcome a multinational company like Ousheng Company to build a factory in Iraq." Qusay said.

Since the establishment of the factory here, President Sarah has often come here for inspections. With the encouragement of the president, the production line here has always had the highest product yield rate, which has continuously brought economic benefits to Ousheng Company. Moreover, due to the There are very few taxes and their production costs are low.

Just as they were talking, the two walked to another production workshop. In these workshops, all female workers were skillfully operating and carrying out their own work.

It was clean and tidy, Qu Sai praised it, and then, through the passage, came to the secret workshop.

Here, Qusay saw many familiar people, including Minister Joseph, an important leader in Iraq's electronic technology.

Seeing Qu Sailai, Joseph was very happy: "President Qu Sailai, we are going to make a systematic report to you. After our efforts, we can finally produce the main chips of advanced avionics and radar systems by ourselves."

Ousheng's factory here, this secret workshop, produces chips for various military electronic equipment that Iraq urgently needs.

Chapter 987 Gorbachev wants to withdraw troops

"Now, all aspects of our country need to be changed. We need to invest in production and construction. However, we have been fighting in Afghanistan for nine years. What is the result now? We have lost more than 400 soldiers, and we have consumed With [-] billion rubles in funds, who can tell me how much money we need to invest in Afghanistan, and how many soldiers we need to be casualties before we can calm down?" Gorbachev said sternly.

"Afghanistan, which is related to our national strategy, is the only channel for our development to the south. Only when we occupy Afghanistan can we open the channel for us to go south." At this time, Marshal Nikolai Ogarkov said.

The meeting was extremely cold, except for a few words of defense from Nikolai, no one else dared to speak, even the newly appointed Minister of Defense, General Yazov, did not say a word.

"Really? Then we go there, what are we going to do? Swimming in the Indian Ocean? Exhausting the last drop of blood in our country, turning our last piece of iron into a bomb, just for a reason to go south to the Indian Ocean?" Gorba Qiao Fu said, his face was ashen.

Hearing what Gorbachev said, no one else dared to speak. General Gromov, who came back from Afghanistan, also kept silent, not even the Minister of Defense. Who dared to speak?Nicholas contradicted the general secretary today, maybe in a few days, he will be dispatched.

"We need a detailed report, whether our war in Afghanistan should continue, and when will our withdrawal begin." Gorbachev said: "General Yazov, I hope the Ministry of Defense can Complete this plan as soon as possible.”

"Yes, General Secretary," Yazov said.

When they left the conference room, all the faces were ugly. They were the main leaders of the military, and they knew what Afghanistan meant to them. However, the new general secretary was no longer willing to continue on Afghanistan.

More than [-] soldiers were killed or injured. Could it be that they just retreated like this?

"This is simply a betrayal of our great Soviet!" Sergey said: "That Gorbachev didn't understand military affairs at all. Did he think that we invaded Afghanistan just for the purpose of aggression and expansion? That is our Soviet Union. The only way to develop!"

In front of Sergey, Gromyko's face was still very calm. Now that Gorbachev's wings are growing, he finally wants to get rid of his influence.

This time, Gorbachev held a meeting of the military. The content of the meeting did not disclose any information to Gromyko. After the meeting, Gromyko knew that Gorbachev wanted to withdraw his troops from Afghanistan!

"We can't let Gorbachev do whatever he wants. His power is getting stronger and stronger. He dismissed the Air Defense Commander and Minister of Defense. He dismissed it with just one word. Now he wants to withdraw troops from Afghanistan again. General Secretary Brerìnev personally set a big task. We need to continue to invest in troops to pacify Afghanistan. However, in Gorbachev's eyes now, only our military is spending too much, and we just want to reduce Military spending, he is committing suicide to our army, and we need to let Gorbachev know that he is wrong to do so!" said Konstantinovich Morgin, the former head of the KGB.

After saying this, he was a little taken aback by his own words, but then he strengthened his mind, and Gromyko gave him a supportive look.

Without the support of Gromyko, Gorbachev could not have become the general secretary at all. After the death of one of his supporters, General Ustinov, Minister of Defense, Gorbachev gradually became dissatisfied with the military. , With the help of the last incident, he finally mobilized the high-level military to his own people. He thought that in this way, the Soviet army could be controlled?

Gorbachev was still too naive. He didn't know that the Soviet Union was really controlled by them. Although they didn't show it on the surface, those grassroots personnel and the bottom of the army were all controlled by them. .

In the Soviet Union, there was a special class called the Elders. Ever since Brerìnev announced the lifelong tenure of cadres, they began to flourish and develop gradually. The dissatisfaction with Gorbachev is only one aspect. A more important reason is that Gorbachev's reforms have touched their interests!

"Gorbachev wants to withdraw our troops from Afghanistan. This is absolutely impossible. We must let Gorbachev know that Afghanistan is very important." Air Marshal Boris Pavlovich - Bugayev said.

"What do you think?" Gromyko asked.

"We are on the battlefield in Afghanistan. Although there will always be guerrilla attacks on the ground, the sky is completely ours." Bugayev said that although he is now in charge of the civil aviation department, he is, after all, an Air Marshal and is familiar with air operations . "And when we are cruising in the air, we often encounter surprise attacks from the Pakistani air force."

Speaking of Pakistan’s sneak attack, Sergey laughed. Although he has only been the Minister of Defense for more than a year, he is still very clear about Pakistan’s sneak attack. In the first few years of entering Afghanistan, because Pakistan always smuggled The weapons were given to the Afghan guerrillas. Therefore, the Soviet air force invaded the airspace of Pakistan on a large scale several times to strike targets supporting the guerrillas there, and then engaged in several engagements with the Pakistani air force. , Therefore, it is always at a disadvantage in the air battle with Pakistan.

"When we encountered a sneak attack by the Pakistan Air Force, we had to launch a counterattack against them, which could even include bombing their bases. Under such circumstances, our conflict with Pakistan would be serious. Gorbachev at this time , announced the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, then our Soviet army will be ridiculed by the whole world." Sergey continued.

Gromyko frowned slightly, yes, this is a good idea, especially, in the original strategy, Pakistan, which is pro-American, was actually their next target after they invaded Afghanistan, otherwise, how would they get through it? The passage to Nanyang?However, the problem in Afghanistan has not been resolved, and this next goal cannot be achieved at all.

Now, stimulate Pakistan a bit, provoke some conflicts, make Gorbachev difficult to get off, if you don't fight, you have to fight!

"Okay, we can do that," Gromyko agreed.

Next, things are very easy to handle, say hello to the head of the 120th Aviation Regiment stationed at Bagram Air Force Base in the north of Kabul of the Soviet Fourth Army headquartered in Temez, Turkmenistan Soviet Republic, and tell him what to do. Just do what you want.

Unexpectedly, their opportunity came very quickly.

However, this is not their active provocation.

June 1987, 10.

A twin-engine turboprop transport plane was flying near the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. It was an An-26 transport plane of the Afghan Air Force flying in the direction of Khorst. There were 39 people on board, all of whom were Afghan military personnel. party personnel.

The pilot has flown this route many times. This is just an ordinary mainline flight. However, he didn't know that his inertial navigation system failed. Palachina radar station.

In the other direction, two F-16 fighter jets were cruising at an altitude of 3000 meters.

In order to prevent Afghan planes from flying into its own airspace, the Pakistani Air Force has been patrolling the border. Since these areas are mountainous and the Pakistani Air Force has no early warning aircraft, it is very important to establish a ground radar station on a high mountain. , In the mountains, these deployments are very difficult. Finally, Pakistan established two early warning radar stations numbered 4084 and 4102 in the Randikota area and the Aravari area, and established in the area between Swat and Miransha. A number of fixed radar stations were established, as well as active low-altitude radar systems and some mobile observation posts.These radars are not only responsible for monitoring the actions of the Soviet Air Force and the Afghan Air Force, but are also responsible for guiding the Pakistani fighters at the two air bases of Peshawar and Salmon Gerry.

"Attention, at the direction of three o'clock, a slow plane, suspected to be an electronic reconnaissance plane, is flying in the direction of Palachina, go immediately to intercept it." The radio said.

In the direction of Palachina, there is a radar station.

Hearing the voice on the radio, Lieutenant Abdul Razak and Lieutenant Sikander Hayat, driving the F-16 fighter, immediately turned to the direction of three o'clock, and then turned on their own radar.

At this time, the ground warning target was thirty to forty miles away from them.

On the radar screen, after a circle of bright lines rotated, a target appeared on the screen.

"Target found," Abdul said.

It's a pity that the driver is not a Super Seven. If it is a Super Seven, they can use the medium-range Sparrow missiles. Now they can enter the final preparations and launch the missiles. Now, they still need to continue flying, enter the line of sight, and use the short-range missiles. missile attack.

Abdul felt his adrenaline secretion began to increase, turned on the afterburner, and the two F-16s began to quickly approach the target.

After the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, the Pakistani Air Force could only use J-[-] fighter jets equipped with Sidewinder missiles. The performance of this fighter jet was already very outdated and could not be effectively intercepted. Therefore, the initial few interceptions were very unsuccessful.

It was not until later that the F-16 of the United States and the Super Seven of Iraq were introduced, and the situation changed greatly. Especially the Super Seven, which can fire medium-range bombs, can intercept the opponent with great confidence at a distance of [-] kilometers. , the Afghan Air Force's invasion of Pakistan's airspace has been greatly reduced.
