Super military empire

"...I was chasing the rout of Iran, and then a group of weird tanks suddenly appeared... Many of the exploded tanks were a weird armor-piercing projectile nailed to the turret. In about a second, the tank happened. Explosion..." The Iraqi soldiers who were fortunate enough to witness it introduced to the engineers of the Lower Tajik Group and officials of the Logistics Equipment Division of the Soviet Planning Commission.

Many officers and soldiers who participated in that battle basically said this.

"I heard that our high-explosive shells can't penetrate the opponent's armor? Even if our armor-piercing shells hit the opponent, it is of no use? With the armor-piercing shells nailed, those tanks still have combat effectiveness?" the engineer gritted his teeth and asked.

They came to Basra. Judging from the information gathered, the situation is not optimistic.

The opponent's armor-piercing projectile can kill their powerful defensive armor, which is unimaginable.And the armor-piercing projectile they studied, even if it hits the opponent, the high temperature generated by the armor-piercing projectile when it breaks through the metal will not destroy the internal facilities of the opponent's tank and still has the combat capability.

This shows that the opponent's tank armor is much thicker than they expected.

Hearing this, it seemed that something terrifying had happened, and the soldier who was questioned looked terrified.

Finally, under the commander’s scolding, he understood, and tremblingly replied: “At the time when we chased our tank, the main armor was hit by two armor-piercing shells, and the side armor also hit three, even on the back of the turret. We were hit, and we still destroyed the two tanks around us in succession, and finally retreated intact..."

"This is impossible! The back of the tank turret, that is the weakest part of the entire turret armor!" An engineer from the Lower Tajik Group jumped directly.

Their armor-piercing bullets can penetrate even the more defensive t64, and they are still frontal armor!

Iraq’s hegemony in the Persian Gulf will be of great benefit to the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union can completely wipe off the oil wealth of the Persian Gulf. At the same time, it can also obtain a warm water port that the Soviet Union lacks.

The tanks they provided to Iraq were not simplified versions of the Vietnamese monkeys and India.

The Chinese used anti-armor missiles to destroy many T72s in Vietnam. The relationship between Iran and China is not very good, but the relationship with Pakistan is good.The relationship between Pakistan and China is very strong.Worried that the Iranians would obtain China’s anti-armor missiles through Pakistan, which would cause a serious blow to the entire export of T72.

Similarly, it will also cause an immeasurable blow to the continued production of this main station tank for the entire Soviet Union and the Union Republics.

"Chekov, the facts are in front of us!" After investigating the situation, the Tajik Group & the person in charge sent here, also the Deputy General Secretary of Tajik Kiravsky, said with a gloomy face.

"But who made these tanks! Are they Americans?"

"It should not be Americans. If Americans have such equipment, they will give priority to equipping themselves! Any country that produces such tanks will give priority to equipping themselves..." Kilavsky said, shaking his head.

The Americans have been studying new tanks under pressure from the Soviet Union.

Their new tank has just finished testing and started small batch trial production. The appearance is similar to that of Iran, but the American tank is a heavy tank.

"Is it Iran's own research? This is even more impossible! If it is from China, China should give priority to equipping their Northern Army rather than exporting. I have never heard of Chinese exporting weapons and equipment to Iran!" Xie Liping, who is in charge of intelligence, also It's here too.

The intelligence in his hands has collected a lot of Chinese intelligence since the special forces contest with China in 1979.

The Northern Army did not equip new tanks. It just added an unknown number of cloud bombs to the warhead’s 130 rockets, which even performed very well on the southwest battlefield. They did not have any anti-tank missiles that destroyed the Vietnamese army’s t72 tanks. equipment.

China’s pressure is greater than that of the Americans.

The Soviet Union deployed nearly 10,000 tanks of various types on the northern border to suppress China.

The whole world is very clear.

It can resist the blow of t72 and easily penetrate t72. It is impossible to export any good things that Chinese have a hidden character.

"All intelligence personnel must be mobilized to fully understand this aspect. The performance parameters and sources of these tanks." Kiravsky ordered through gritted teeth.

"Needless to say, not only this tank, but also the source parameters of the anti-aircraft missiles in the hands of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards must also be figured out! If the Iranian country can manufacture these weapons and equipment itself, it must destroy their research units and production units!" Xie Liping knows these issues better than anyone else.

Whether the Chinese have played a disgraceful role here will affect the policy direction of the entire Soviet Union.

If these tanks are from the Soviet Union, this will increase the pressure on the Soviet Union.

If these tanks come from the United States, it will also make the pressure on the Soviet Union even greater.

The Soviets have always had a bad relationship with Iran. Even if Khomeini is opposed to the Americans, it is not easy for the Soviets to reach out.

The American intelligence agency in Iran is far stronger than the Soviet Union.

After the overthrow of the Pahlavi dynasty, the CIA’s intelligence agencies were destroyed. With the outbreak of the hostage incident in Tehran, the CIA again injected a large amount of funds to rebuild Iran’s intelligence agencies.

However, nothing was achieved.

In this world, nothing is invisible.

US intelligence agencies quickly turned their attention to Pakistan.

The United States is not worried about the impact of these tanks on them, but learned through Pakistani intelligence personnel that Iran’s tanks are mostly the same as the xm1 project, and even many things surpass xm1. Pakistan and the United States are not as caring as before. They are not willing to hand over this new tank-related technology to the United States.

Such a thing means that the most confidential research institution in the United States has leaked secrets!

Such a major leak is very shocking to the United States.

"China provided us with an improvement plan for the xm1 tank under study at the beginning. This shape is the same as our xm1 tank. What does this show?" Evik despised the inquiries of the bureaucrats of the Ministry of Defense. Asked, "In the beginning we were suggesting to strengthen the investigation of this aspect of China..."

"It's still our fault to say that? Everyone knows the basics of the Chinese. How did they come up with such advanced tanks? Electronic systems, computer systems, and even hydraulic suspension systems! These tanks were not sold by China to Iran, but Pakistan sold it to Iran!" As an adviser to the president, Mist never expected that the Chinese would know the details of their xm1 project.

At the very beginning, they were suspicious, but they couldn't believe it.

The Chinese intelligence department cannot have such a powerful capability.

In the xm1 project, no Chinese are involved in any link.Not even the surrounding links.

"Mist, you know this thing best. You have been with Ye Suwen for a long time!" As a senior technical consultant of the Ministry of Defense, Jim is also an expert in charge of some key technologies of the xm1 project. He is here to set aside his own Suspect, and Mist is the most suspicious.

Ye Suwen, who is next to Mist, has very close ties with China, but there has been no evidence to prove it.

"This matter must be thoroughly investigated!" Even if Carter does not want to express too much concern about these matters, he still has to perform his duties as president seriously.

In their seriousness, this was a leak. The xm1 project invested a huge amount of manpower and material resources. When the Ministry of Defense gave a trial production order for 110 vehicles, a reduced version of this tank appeared on the Iran-Iraq battlefield, and its performance seemed to be M1a1 is more powerful than xm1's upcoming finalization.Even if this tank is only a medium tank of less than 40 tons, relevant US companies have suffered heavy losses in this regard.

"Whether the Chinese have stolen our military secrets or the information leaked out for other reasons, the relevant person in charge must be held responsible. Mr. Avic, I hope you can give us a satisfactory account. You consume a lot of money every year. So far, things like this have to be contained at the source. The Chinese can sell us related technologies. If these technologies are obtained by the Soviets, it will be a huge disaster for us!” Defense Secretary Gates is very serious. To say.

"Mr. Minister, the Chinese do not have all kinds of basic strengths. Now that they have successfully studied this kind of tank and it has appeared on the battlefield in the Middle East, will it be because they have obtained relevant technology from the Soviets and then integrated our technology... …" Jim frowned and put forward his thoughts.

The performance of the Chinese was beyond everyone's expectations.

There should be a lot of things unknown.

"Impossible. Our technology system is very far from the Soviet Union's technology system. The Chinese people's microcomputer technology should be obtained from our country, especially some advanced chips, which are most likely to be lost from our country!" In the last transaction with China, although the Americans took a big advantage, Mist and Jim lobbied from it, so that the Chinese people could not understand the 1500-horsepower compressed diesel engine technology and 1500-horsepower of gas they desperately wanted. Turbine engine technology.

This is a hurdle in the hearts of many people.

Gates was very opposed to this matter from the beginning, but the US Department of Defense could not refuse the new artillery steel technology provided by China, which would reduce US military expenditure by a large part.At the same time, the power of the cloud explosive bomb, whether it is on the battlefield in Vietnam or the experimental products they produced after they obtained it, further confirmed the power of this technology.

"Since the chips in their hands are spread from our country, stop it from the source!" Carter said lightly.

He knows the face of the capital predators who control the United States better than anyone else.

Since World War II, many presidents have not planned to fight anyone during his term of office. This has made many consortia that control the national military industry very upset.

Even the confrontation with the Soviet Union became relatively lax under his leadership.

He wants to be re-elected, the possibility is not too great.

If the dirty business between those consortiums and China is discovered, someone will eventually come out to bear the responsibility for this leak.

"About their missile..."

"Those missiles are also from Chinese?" Carter looked surprised.

Evik nodded, saying nothing.

"In fact, we should put pressure on Pakistan to stop them from supplying Iran with weapons and equipment!"

"Pakistan's Zia Haq was ousted by the warlord Hari Yak in the coup d'etat. In the end, our control over Pakistan weakened. If we put pressure on them, who will bear the consequences? In addition, Iran and us Diplomatic relations have been severed, and Western countries are still providing them with weapons and ammunition. If they are completely eliminated, will they give them a chance? If we lose Iran, if we lose Pakistan again, who will protect our interests in the Persian Gulf and in the Indian Ocean?" Vic immediately asked everyone with contempt.

The United States is not monolithic.

When it comes to interests, especially the interests of major companies and the interests of the country, it is impossible to solve them easily.

A discussion has no results at all.

Finally, such discussions will continue.

The only consensus is that the United States must, on the basis of cooperating with the Chinese now, ensure the interests of the United States, while also controlling the flow of advanced technology into China.

Not only the United States, but also the entire European countries.

The paradigm of peace is terminated. This is the correct national policy.The Chinese imitation of technology is too worrying.

While controlling it, it can also cause China's backlash to prevent them from thinking about the Soviet Union completely.

If the Americans are not so proud, or China has not always been too rubbish, and the equipment used by the military is their technical level in the 1950s and 1960s, there is no Liu Yijiu who accidentally appeared, so there is no need to worry about these problems.

Even if they knew Liu Yijiu, they would not believe that such a young man would play such a great role in promoting China's military industry.

Under Carter's instruction, the CIA personnel in the Middle East revealed the intelligence to Iraq and forwarded the intelligence to the Soviet Union through Iraq.

They could not put pressure on China, which would disrupt many of their previous plans, but the Soviet Union was different.

The Soviet Union can put pressure on China from public opinion to actual actions.

Whether it was the attitude of the United States or the reaction of the Soviet Union, Comrade Liu Yijiu, the emissary, did not know at all.The face of the Chinese people is not too easy to obtain intelligence in foreign countries.China's intelligence agencies also do not have enough funds to buy some officials to obtain intelligence.

When Liu Yijiu knew these things, the whole world knew the information.
