Babylonian Empire

In this case, Israel, the US military base in Turkey, and even Europe are all within their strike range.

If the Americans want to do something to them, they have to weigh it.

"Moreover, the miniaturization of our own special warheads has been basically completed. When necessary, we can also export such special warheads to Saudi Arabia, but we need to have a key in Iraq at that time." Ku Sai said.

Although Qusay still did not directly say those words, King Fahd and Prince Sultan both knew what Qusay was referring to.

After a nuclear explosion, there are still many steps to take to the practical stage, the most important of which is to miniaturize the warhead so that it can be stuffed into the head of a ballistic missile.

Iraq, all technical problems have been solved.

Moreover, nuclear weapons don't really matter how many they have, as long as they have them, Iraq's production of nuclear weapons cannot be too high, but as long as there is one, it can also have a great deterrent effect.

"We have now set up a base on Qeshm Island and take off fighter jets to monitor the Arabian Sea and protect our coastline. In the Mediterranean Sea, we will use Syria and Libya as bases. In this way, in the Mediterranean Sea, the Arabian Sea, and the Indian Ocean, There will be our military presence, and within ten years, the Iraqi Navy will have two aircraft carrier battle groups, which are deployed in the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean respectively. Although they are not very powerful, they will defend our Middle East and deal with possible hostile forces , We will definitely do our best, but these are the worst-case scenarios, and we are fully prepared for the future, but we will still try our best to resolve disputes peacefully," Qusay said.

There will definitely be conflicts with the United States in the future. The various efforts made by Iraq are not only to solve the Israeli problem. In Qusay’s eyes, the Israeli problem is not a big problem. is the biggest threat.

After hearing these words from Qusay, King Fahd finally knew that Qusay was actually ready.

"Of course, the military strength of the United States is strong, but we jointly use our own currency and use our own currency to settle oil. This is very normal in the world. The United States wants to start a war against us because of this, an excuse It is not enough, so even if they launch a war, it is illegal. At that time, what they will face is our unified Arab world, in order to maintain our own oil interests, in order to make our Middle East, and eventually the entire world respected and powerful institutions in the world, and the wars we are forced to fight for it, are also necessary. Let each of us Arabs walk in the world with our heads held high, respected by others, and let us, here, be the We will never turn back to the paradise of immigrants from the world," Qusay said.

"We have a splendid civilization. Here we are bound to usher in a new peak of development. Will we live forever under the protection of the United States and rely on exporting oil, or become the most advanced and developed in the world? The most beautiful country, this is our chance." Qusay's words, although not loud, resounded in everyone's heart: "We are not for the delusion of world hegemony, we are just to make our oil truly benefit Our own people. As long as we take the first step firmly, we will be one step closer to success. Otherwise, we will always have to live under the coercion of the United States, oppression and enslavement by the United States."

Qusay’s last words were a bit sharp. However, King Fahd thought of the behavior of the Americans just now. In order to help the Americans escape the economic crisis, Saudi Arabia will buy US treasury bonds. This is a way for the US to pass on domestic conflicts. Way.

"Of course, there are many ways to fight. We don't necessarily need to use force. Economic war is more important." Qusay said: "Perhaps, the US military threat we are worried about will not If it really happens, what we are more worried about should be the economic impact. Saudi Arabia is still a complete oil exporting country without much industry. I suggest that His Majesty the King invest a lot in industry, and send Saudi Arabia to industrialized countries. In this way, when we have no oil in the future, we can still stand at the head of the world nation.”

In later generations, Saudi Arabia is also vigorously developing its industry. Everyone knows that oil cannot last forever, and it is a non-renewable resource.

Let the Arab nation stand tall at the head of the nations of the world!Qusay's words deeply moved King Fahd. Their decision now will affect the fate of their entire Arab world.

Although the three countries are now planning to promote the unified currency, these countries are the most developed countries in the Arab world. The oil reserves of the three countries account for about 50.00% of the world's total oil reserves. (Of course, Iraq's oil reserves are counted in Khuzestan province, offshore oil platforms along the Persian Gulf, etc.) Among the world's top five countries with reserves, they account for four.

When their currency begins to promote and gradually achieve results, other countries will definitely join in gradually, forming the currency of the Arab world, and then developing into a global currency.

Compared with the loss of the country's own right to make currency, this benefit is even greater.

"President Qusay, then do you think it is more appropriate for our Arab central bank to be established?" King Fahd asked.

Qusay has already made up his mind: "It is more appropriate to set up in Riyadh."

Countries unite and use a unified currency. The European Union has provided Qusay with a good template. Although there are still more than ten years before the introduction of the euro, their model is still quite suitable.

"Our Arab zhōngyāng banks are responsible for formulating monetary policy, and zhōngyāng banks in various countries participate in the printing, casting, and distribution of our banknotes and silver coins." Qusai continued.

Where the headquarters is located is actually not very meaningful. Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Kuwait are already the countries with the closest relationship. Therefore, setting up in Saudi Arabia can also show that Iraq does not have too many ambitions to prevent The three countries are suspicious of each other.Iraq's armed force is the most powerful, and it has strong armed force. When some changes happen in Saudi Arabia, Iraq can also respond in time.

"Okay, then we, Saudi Arabia, are willing to join this unified currency operation." King Fahd said.

He finally made up his mind, and he also knew that with this as a symbol, he would drift away from the United States.Saudi Arabia will no longer pay for the huge fiscal deficit of the United States.

"The Americans want us to increase their national debt. It seems that we should refuse." Prince Sultan said.

500 billion U.S. dollars, the Americans are simply robbing, Prince Sultan scoffed at the proposal of the American ambassador.

"I think this is a good opportunity for us," Qusay said.

good chance?King Fahd looked at Qusay and knew he had ideas.

"At this time, we are sending out the signal of our unified currency, so that even if the Americans want to oppose us, they need our help to tide over the difficulties." Qusay said.

Americans are not fools. When the three countries take the first step, the United States can foresee what will happen next. Therefore, the Americans will strongly oppose this first step.

However, under the current circumstances, Americans cannot object. If they object, then the three countries will definitely not give the United States a dime. It is impossible for the United States to survive this crisis. Americans weigh the pros and cons , there must be a correct choice.

"Our current power is not strong enough, so we must pay attention to strategy." Qu Sai said: "However, we do not necessarily have to buy US treasury bonds. During this crisis, the stocks of many US companies are It is worthless, we invest money, directly rescue the market, and increase the stock holdings of those big companies, which is also a way to help Americans."

Hearing Qusay's words, both King Fahd and Prince Sultan showed smiles. Abdullah's suggestion is really good. Saudi Arabia wants to develop industry and change the economic structure. is a good start.

Qusay was relieved that Kuwait would definitely agree, so this time his plan was finally going to take a firm step.

Chapter One Thousand and Six

Qeshm base.

A main runway several kilometers long looks particularly conspicuous from the air, like an unsinkable aircraft carrier. Here is the base of the Iraqi Naval Air Force.

In the sky, several silver fighter planes soared lightly, and below them was the blue Arabian Sea.

From the appearance, these fighters are different from any existing fighters in the world. They are quite satisfactory, with a medium aspect ratio swept-back upper single wing, a large-swept single vertical tail, and a single ventral fin.Air intake on both sides, bee waist shape fuselage.

In the cockpit, the Iraqi pilot in the front cabin said in the radio: "Attention, the front is about to reach the base, maintain formation, first pass over the base, and then land in order."

They need to show off first over the base.

Under the leadership of President Qusay, the Iraqi air force has become a brave and westernized force, which is completely different from the dogmatic eastern army. The captain adopted such a method to express their condolences to those who were greeted below.

Because, their fighter plane this time is another powerful attack aircraft newly equipped by the Iraqi Naval Air Force, the JH-[-]!

After nearly three years of test flight, the JH-38 has finally completed all the flight test items, including subjects such as stall and spin. During the entire test flight of the JH-39, test pilots Lu Jun, Yang Xiaobin, and navigator Tang Chunwen successively contributed Young lives, the ages when they sacrificed were 45, [-] and [-] years old.

In the development of fighter jets, crashes and sacrifices of test pilots are unavoidable accidents. They sacrificed their precious lives for the advent of this powerful fighter jet and for the national defense cause.Their sacrifices brought about the final maturity of the JH-[-].

Due to the strong capital injection from Iraq, this fighter is several years ahead of the history of later generations.

In the production process of Feibao, the engine has always been a big problem. With the capital investment from Iraq, this engine has been able to be independently developed on the production line in Xi'an.

The Spey engine was a completely delayed model. At that time, the country invested funds, and the introduction of the military Spey contract cost a total of 7679 million pounds.In order to establish the Spey production line, the State Council allocated 1 million pounds to carry out technical transformation of Xi'an Engine Company and related auxiliary machinery factories.According to the foreign exchange system at that time, the money was equivalent to 12 billion yuan.

A full set of drawings, special equipment, and special materials imitate the Spey engine, but in the 80s, nothing happened.As a result, when the Flying Leopards became an army, they used engines that had been in stock for more than ten years. Afterwards, they actually purchased decommissioned engines that were sealed up in the UK and were used after maintenance.

Qusay absolutely does not allow such a situation to happen. After repeated negotiations with the Iraqi side, the imitation of this engine is on the right track. Finally, a qualified engine can be produced with domestic blanks, and it has passed various strict requirements. The experiment was carried out on the newly manufactured J-H-[-] fighter jets.

Not only that, in the process of producing the JH-[-], many of the JH-[-]'s avionics equipment used Iraqi products, especially the components such as the fire control radar, which have made great progress compared with the JH-[-] in history. Progress, not only attacking the sea, but also attacking the land, has great performance.

For sea attacks, you can use C801 and C802 anti-ship missiles. These Iraq have corresponding models. For land attacks, Iraq can use its own Red Bird series cruise missiles, laser-guided bombs, air-to-ground missiles, ordinary zìyóu drop bombs, etc. , You can also mount a navigation targeting pod to achieve more functions, such as ultra-low altitude penetration.

This kind of aircraft has surpassed the JH-[-] in history and reached the level of the improved A-type, most of which are obtained due to the advancement of electronic technology.

During the continuous test flight of the aircraft, the Iraqi Naval Air Force sent some excellent pilots to Xi'an Aircraft to learn the full set of technology of this aircraft. Therefore, after the JH-[-] was produced on the production line, they flew more than a dozen aircraft in Xi'an. After one sortie, he has fully mastered the flying technology, and can fly the plane by himself, from Xi'an to Pakistan, and then return to his own base from Pakistan.

In the distance, Qeshm Island is getting closer and closer, and the long runway can already be seen clearly.

"Lower the altitude to 300 meters," Imad said on the radio.

At this time, the voice of the ground guidance came from the earphone: "Pay attention to keep the slide line and land in order.

On the runway, Major General Saad Dean, commander of the Iraqi Naval Air Force, raised his binoculars and looked at the fighter planes that were about to return. This meant that the number of fighter planes under him would increase again.
