Chapter 68 Meiyi's Honeymoon (1)

I am particularly proud that bilateral relations have achieved remarkable results in my eight years as president. ———Ronard Reagan.

******************************************************************************************

The 29th Mechanized Infantry Division of the Third Army of the Iraqi Southern Legion crossed the border and crossed the border along the road from Rutbai to Amman and entered the Kingdom of Jordan. They entered the Karaben Reprinting Literature Network Base stationed in Jordan under the order of the command of the Iraqi Armed Forces, Kusai Abdullah, to defend the security of the central and southern regions of the Kingdom of Jordan.

All the officers and soldiers of the 29th Division knew that they would face the invincible Israeli army that had won five wars in the Middle East, so they were more careful. The confrontation was the Ancestral Brigade of the Southern Israeli Military Region, and the brigade commander was Brigadier General Uzidayan, the son of legendary general Moses Dayan.

In order to fight against the Israelis, the Mechanized Infantry Division carried a considerable amount of air defense equipment, an air defense regiment advanced with the division's main force. They carried a large number of Sam 6 mobile air defense missile launch systems and Soviet-made self-propelled anti-aircraft guns. In addition, the Iraqi troops were also equipped with the latest US-made spike-type portable air defense missiles.

Just as the 29th Division drove into Jordan, the Iraqi Air Force Mountain High School and the Jungle Squadron's 48 Mirage fighters arrived at four airports on the front line of Nahiye in western Iraq to Rutbai to provide air cover for the advance troops. The Iraqi Strategic Missile Force "a spider" "the ground-to-ground tactical ballistic missile regiment also maneuvered to the mountainous areas on the border between Iraq and Jordan, and the armed forces were on standby.

Iraq's postures were to reassure Jordan and demonstrate to Israel. Liu Ming was not worried about angering Israel. Now the Israeli government is busy eliminating the aftermath of the air strike against Tunisia, and cannot respond strongly to the change of Jordan's military situation. Under such circumstances, the Iraqi 29th Division successfully arrived at its destination and launched its own troops and air defense systems.

Now they are no longer afraid of Israel's threat, because the long-range rocket launcher equipped by the 29th Division can already include Israel's two cities, Jerusalem and Jaffa. If Israel wants to attack them, they must carefully consider the consequences of their city being covered by rocket launchers. It was not until this news came out that King Hussein breathed a sigh of relief. The entry of this powerful Iraqi army would maintain the security of the kingdom. His long-standing heart was finally let go.

What made him happy was that all the costs of stationing in Jordan that Liu Mingyan, which he said was necessary, was borne by the Iraqi government itself, and Jordan did not have to pay a penny. The Jordanian government only needed to bear the water and electricity bills of their bases, and the cost of maintaining a huge force was almost negligible. King Hussein was happy and told Liu Ming that Jordan would strongly support Iraq on international political issues.

More than 50,000 veterans recruited from China have arrived in Iraq to form the first construction army. Their task is to build the highway from Rutbai to Amman. Under the arrangement of the national construction company organized by Iraq, the construction company under the European Dongfeng Trade Group contracted the Luangao Highway project. This Chinese construction army is working under the guidance of home and technicians.

At this time, Liu Ming was inspecting several important factories with satisfaction. First, the artillery and ground weapons and equipment production factory located in Nasirier. This factory was an early arsenal in Iraq, with advanced equipment. Several overseas weapons were introduced for imitation and production. Later, Liu Ming invested further to transform it and produced 45 times the caliber farm-torn howitzer under the guidance of Dr. Gillardpur. This was a very advanced weapon in the world at that time, and even better than the equipment of the US 6th Army during the same period.

Looking at the rows of brand new heavy howitzers of Manon, Liu Ming could not suppress his excitement. He nodded and approached Dr. Buer beside him and whispered: "Doctor, you should just join the Iraqi nationality! I will give you the best treatment and the best scientific research conditions. Your children will also become the future nobles of this country. Your family will become famous families with the strength of Iraq. Think carefully..."

Dr. Gillardpur was moved when he heard this. Because his security in Europe and the United States was threatened, he also had the idea of ​​naturalization in Iraq. He smiled and said, "Thank you for your attention to me so much. I will consider it seriously. Please rest assured that the Nasiriya Heavy Artillery Factory will definitely create the world's first-class artillery for you!"

"Haha Ming said happily: "I support you with all my strength, I want money, things, and people. As long as you can build advanced cannons, I will remember you. Artillery is the god of war. Without advanced cannons, our troops cannot win the war. Doctor, you not only need to build towed cannons, but also self-propelled cannons. Now the army has begun to mechanize, self-propelled cannons can keep up with the offensive level of mechanized troops, and should be the main equipment in the future."

Dr. Gillardpur nodded quickly and said, in fact, the Nasiriya Heavy Artillery Factory is now jointly developing an advanced self-propelled artillery system with the Semawo Locomotive Factory. It uses a chassis-caliber Mannon howitzer based on the Mercedes-Benz chassis of the Viper chariot as its main weapon, and is equipped with a variety of new equipment such as automatic loaders and ballistic computers.

Liu Ming also knew this kind of equipment, but he hoped that the Nasirier Factory could manufacture a self-propelled cannon with a tracked chassis. After all, the wheeled cannon has its limitations. But he didn't say much. As a leader, he remembered one thing - experts decide on specific matters in a certain aspect, and leaders cannot command over the level, and manage experts with outsiders. He believed that the needs of the army and Dr. Boer's vision would not be wrong.

He smiled and asked, "How many artillery have been delivered now? What other models are there in addition to the caliber of the artillery made here?"

Dr. Girardpur said: "The No. 1 workshop is made of Manon howitzers. Because of their stable performance, the army has a high demand for it. In addition to equipping the 6th Army of the country, Saudi Arabia and Jordanian 6th Army have all come to order. The remaining artillery of each caliber are manufactured in the workshop, but the No. 4 workshop is now being renovated and production is suspended."

What transformation is carried out?" Liu Ming asked.

Gillardpur said in surprise: "General, isn't it part of the American arsenal plan you personally approved to introduce? The technology was introduced from the US Rock Island Arsenal to transform the Nasirier plant."

"So it's this, I almost forgot!" Liu Ming remembered that he and the US government are still in their honeymoon period, and this arsenal plan seems to be well implemented!

"Although we have introduced the chrome plating technology of gunbore alloy from Austria and Switzerland, there are still shortcomings in many aspects. For example, the new independent tube cooling technology can greatly improve the service life of the artillery; there are also the auxiliary navigation devices of the artillery and the automated fire control system, which we did not have before. This time, the Iron Island Arsenal did a good job and transferred all the technology that should be available to us." Girardpur said.

Liu Ming nodded and should go out, bring in, and learn from the strengths of many families. Americans may have no advantages in artillery ballistics than Europe and Russia, but in artillery integration and system modernization, it is difficult for the world to have a country comparable to it. Using the honeymoon period between the two countries to learn more is very beneficial to Iraq.

"Captain Kusai, what should I do with these equipment?" Alio Hamari, the director of the Nasirier Factory, asked, pointing to the rows of self-propelled artillery in the square.

When Liu Ming saw that it was American-made artillery, he asked, "Where did these come from?" Alio Hamari replied, "These are shipped from the South Afghan region recently, including American and Soviet. We have already revised the book and transferred the Literature Network for the Literature Network for use for the troops. But these books have been seized from Iranian equipment. Although the appearance is broken, the internal parts are all very good. The Ministry of Military Industry asked us to renovate it, but there is a problem that our army is now mainly equipped with Soviet-made American artillery. You see..."

Liu Ming pondered for a moment and said to Alio Hamari: "Fix these equipment and apply new paint, and I will be useful to me!"

After killing Aliohamali, Liu Ming secretly thought that his submarine was parked in Pakistan, and now Pakistan's financial situation is not optimistic. Iraq should also give some gifts. A self-propelled artillery was placed in the international market. It was $40 to 50 million, which can be regarded as a generous gift...
