Babylonian Empire

The core input here is Makarov. Makarov is an indispensable input in the later stage outfitting process of the aircraft carrier. Therefore, another purpose of Adelina's visit this time is to persuade Makarov Husband went to Iraq to serve as the honorary director of their shipyard, and was fully responsible for the later stage outfitting of this aircraft carrier!

"Mr. Makarov." Adelina said: "We were able to cooperate successfully this time, and you played a major role in it. We in Iraq have already deposited 500 million US dollars into your Swiss bank account. However, We know that you can help us in Iraq, not just for money."

After Adelina finished speaking, she looked at Makarov with her eyes. From his eyes, Adelina saw a kind of desire.Of course, this kind of desire is not the ordinary desire to get more money, but a desire for career.

"Two days ago, Russia boarded the Varyag. For this 80.00% completed aircraft carrier, they are not capable of building it. You said that only the most powerful country can build it." Adelina said: "But now, Ukraine is not, and neither is Russia. Now the CIS countries are facing the most serious problems. However, we in Iraq have sufficient capabilities to complete the follow-up projects. We just lack someone who can take care of the overall situation like you. For you, building an aircraft carrier is your life's work. At one of the most glorious times in your lifetime, under your hands, you built a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier! Let it finally break out of the ground and sail on the world's oceans."

Build this aircraft carrier yourself and let it sail on the oceans of the world!This is Makarov's lifelong wish. Now, the conditions proposed by the Iraqi side make him very excited, because if he wants to realize his dream, he can only go to the emerging Middle East.

"Mr. Makarov, our Iraqi shipyard needs an experienced boatman like you. If you come to our Iraq, you will receive the highest treatment. The current Ukrainian Black Sea shipyard has no room for your ambitions. ’” said another Amir.

Makarov thought about it, and finally nodded: "Okay, I'm willing to go."

Hearing this sentence, the two were overjoyed.

"Mr. Makarov, we have another matter this time. There are several warships in the North Plant of the Black Sea Shipyard, which are about to be completed. These warships are now in a state of suspension. We in Iraq also want to send The purchase of these warships will enable Ukraine to obtain a large amount of funds for economic development, and at the same time, it will also give these warships a good outlet, isn’t it the best of both worlds?” Amir said.

The North Factory of the Black Sea Shipyard, also known as the Liuyi Shipyard, is the only place where the Soviet Glory-class cruisers are built.Iraq has tackled key problems several times, but failed to take them down. Now, the fourth Glory-class cruiser Komsomolets is about to complete all the construction work, and it has reached 90.00% six!

And Iraq is now ordering Glory-class cruisers, which is obviously much cheaper than the original price. At that time, there was a powerful Soviet empire, and when selling things, the asking price would be quite high, but now, they are just collecting junk, even if they give this Ukraine is very happy at half the cost of the ship. After all, the Russian Navy, at most, pays the final payment, and then clamors that these warships were originally built for the Russian Navy.

The first thousand and 120 chapters and five naval strides forward

For the meaning of Iraq, the most important thing about the Glory class is the powerful vertically launched anti-air missiles on it, which are the necessary guarantee for the aircraft carrier formation to defend against the opponent's saturation attack.

Only with enough escort ships can an aircraft carrier battle group be powerful.

Therefore, in addition to Iraq's great enthusiasm for nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, it is also very concerned about other supporting ships.

In the Soviet Navy, except for the aircraft carrier that attracted Qusay the most, the rest were the Glory-class cruisers.

The Glory-class cruiser with a displacement of more than [-] tons has excellent anti-ship, anti-submarine, and air defense performances. This warship is assigned to the Iraqi Navy, which can make them a world-class navy!

Even Ah San in the east would be envious.

The Communist Youth League started construction in 84 and was launched in 90, and the construction period is coming to an end now.Its construction period is no shorter than that of an aircraft carrier.The main reason is that the energy of the shipyard is spent on the construction of the aircraft carrier, and all departments in the country are also mainly based on the support of the aircraft carrier.

As for the fifth Russian ship, construction was started in 88, and the progress of this ship is currently only at 40.00%.

That glorious class, when the Russian Navy was still focusing on the aircraft carrier, got it done and drove back to Iraq first!

Hearing Amir's words, Makarov said: "The warship is almost finished, but the anti-ship missiles on it cannot be exported to Iraq, otherwise, Russia will definitely protest strongly."

For the Soviet Union, the key task of the Glory class.It is anti-ship, so.It is equipped with the swan song of the red navy anti-ship missiles, that is, the granite anti-ship missiles, and these anti-ship missiles are the killer weapons of the current Russian navy, and they will never allow a second country to possess them and reveal their secrets.

"The anti-ship missiles on it can be dismantled, and those missiles are of no use to us in Iraq," Amir said.Iraqi aircraft carriers are not equipped with such missiles, and other warships do not need to be equipped with such missiles. It does not mean that such missiles are bad, but that Iraq lacks the entire system.

Remove anti-ship missiles, those spaces.Iraq will use it to install something new, namely Iraqi cruise missiles!

Using warships to carry out ground attacks is a trend in later generations. Don't Americans often launch Tomahawk missiles on cruisers?

In this way, this kind of warship.will be more threatening. "In that case, there should be no problem. Our shipyard can report it, or you can directly contact our superiors. The Russian Navy will never pay for the entire ship." Makarov said .

"Also. The fifth ship of the Glory class, if we invest in Iraq, how long will it take to complete the construction?" Amir continued to ask.

Makarov thought for a while: "If the funds are sufficient, it will take two years. Moreover, if no one invests in this warship, it will definitely be dismantled. Therefore, the superiors should be very satisfied and can export it."

After the meeting with Makarov ended, Adelina reported to President Qusay in the fastest time that a big project in Ukraine had finally reached its final stage!

This is a critical moment for the century-old development of the Iraqi Navy!At this time, the Iraqi Navy will achieve a leapfrog development!

After Qusay got the news, he couldn't keep his mouth shut for several days. The era of Iraq's large navy is finally coming.

Now, the first aircraft carrier, the USS Baghdad, is undergoing training, and Iraq's carrier-based air force is slowly growing up from its infancy.After the arrival of the second aircraft carrier, Iraq will have two aircraft carrier battle groups.

In addition to the aircraft carrier, the most powerful of these two aircraft carrier battle groups is the Glory-class cruiser. The number of Iraqi final acquisitions will be two to three.

In addition to the cruiser, Ajelina is also negotiating with the shipbuilder about the introduction of the unfinished Dreadnought III. This kind of specialized air defense destroyer will turn the Iraqi aircraft carrier formation into an iron wall.

In addition to these large warships, the Modern Class and the Dreadnought Class will be the outer protection force of the formation.Although there are only two such warships in the Iraqi Navy at present, in Iraq's future plans, at least four of each are needed.

Coupled with Iraq's own frigates and aircraft carrier formations, it will be very powerful.

In order to meet this moment, Iraq began to train its own naval personnel in the mid-80s. Through the Naval Academy in Basra, a large number of high-level naval personnel with modern knowledge took up their posts. They took turns Practiced on several warships and mastered the essentials of operation.The disintegration of the Soviet Union will quickly reduce its once powerful navy to a second-rate army. Within a few years, a large number of warships will face the fate of being eliminated. Iraq can buy enough warships at extremely low prices. Difficult thing, many warships are actually not major failures, but they just don't have the money to repair them.

For example, before the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Black Sea Fleet was the second largest naval fleet of the Soviet Union. It had more than 800 warships, including two helicopter carriers, seven cruisers, including one Glorious class, nine destroyers, etc. large warship.Because it is the only ice-free port, it is a powerful force of the Soviet Union in the Mediterranean Sea.

But now, the fate of the Black Sea Fleet is full of unknowns. It still hangs the flag of the Soviet Union's sickle and axe!

Facing this second largest fleet, Russia will naturally not give up. Therefore, Russia has always claimed that the Black Sea Fleet is Russia's maritime component.

But Ukraine will definitely not agree with this. For them, the Black Sea Fleet stationed in Ukraine is completely the property of Ukraine.

The two sides had a big dispute over this.Soldiers cannot interfere in politics. The commander of the Black Sea Fleet, when unable to draw a conclusion whether the Black Sea Fleet belongs to Ukraine or Russia, has no choice but to have a plan: temporarily hang the Soviet flag first, and wait until the two sides have finished wrangling. After belonging, they fly the corresponding national flag again.

In later generations, in August 92, Russia and Ukraine reached an agreement in Yalta to turn the Black Sea Fleet into a joint Russian-Ukrainian fleet under the joint command of the two countries. In June 8, the two countries formally decided to split the fleet into two.Due to the disrepair of most ships in the fleet, Ukraine only received 95% of the ships, and sold the rest to Russia at a discount.

Of course, for Qusay, he would not watch these ships just waiting in the Black Sea. Instead of letting those ships rot, it is better to buy them from Ukraine! As long as they are given enough price, Ukraine will develop itself The economy, absolutely dare to sell.At that time, they will ignore each other's dogs and dogs, and they will pay for it anyway.

Iraq’s current treasury is abundant, and the annual oil revenue alone is enough for Iraq to become the richest country in the world. Moreover, Iraq’s current oil revenue only accounts for about half of theirs. Iraq’s various manufacturing industries have begun to In the midst of vigorous development, in Iraq's economy, foreign exchange earnings from exports also accounted for a very important part.

Even if these things are put aside, Iraq has already made enough money in the previous few times of world economic speculation, so Qusay has already prepared funds to devote himself to the current crazy big acquisition.

Because, it is not just Qusay who is doing the work now, the big eastern countries have already reached out, and the United States and Western Europe have also reached out to dig talents, technology, and equipment!

This is not a friendly match. Qusay has made up his mind. As long as he likes something, he must strike first, and no one can take it away.

However, the first to send back the news was another inspection team led by Hikmat. After inspecting the Nitka Training Center in Ukraine, they asked President Qusay for instructions and made a deposit for Ukraine. The 25 Su-27k fighter jets at the Nitka Training Center were bought back at a price of 3000 million US dollars each.

These fighters are fighters attached to the Kuznetsov.

Although the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier has been sent back, the fighter planes produced for it have not been found. The Soviet Union lacks funds. It was not until two years ago that the funds were allocated and these fighter planes were produced.

However, after the fighter planes were produced, they did not fly directly to the aircraft carrier because the Soviet Union lacked enough carrier-based pilots. Therefore, these fighter planes first flew to the Nitka Training Center. The Soviet aviation forces will practice on the simulated deck. takeoff and landing on.

As a result, the Ukrainians were benefited in vain, and the Soviet Union was separated. Ukraine would not give these fighters to Russia unless they bought them with money.

The Russians naturally disagreed. After the two former brothers separated, they started arguing with each other because of inheritance issues.

So, Ukraine finally started to be ruthless. Since it is on my land, it is mine. If you don’t give money, you want to take it for nothing?Then I'll just sell it to someone else!

The price given by Iraq is not low, 3000 million US dollars per plane, which is slightly higher than the cost price.

As a result, after the Iraqi Navy's carrier-based aviation had forty Su-27k, it had 25 again, which is enough for two carrier-based air wings. Of course, if there is another rotation, then it is best to continue Thirty to forty of these fighters are ordered.

With the Su-27k agreement reached, it began to fly from Ukraine to Qeshm Island Naval Base, Iraqi Navy, began another take-off.
