East United and West Germany have joined forces to invest and build factories in Iraq, which is of course a great blessing for Iraq, which has a weak industrial base. ¡÷,
However, Saddam knows that there is never a free lunch. Compared with what Iraq will get in the future, it will definitely be much more than what it pays.
However, regardless of whether the Eastern Alliance really has the intention to colonize Iraq, it is not what Saddam needs to consider now. The only thing he has to do is how to help Iraq defeat Iran by increasing the assistance of the Eastern Alliance, thereby winning this damn war!
The Middle East is the Arab Middle East. If the Jews can be expelled from Jerusalem after defeating the Iranians, even if Iraq has to pay a huge price in the future, he, the president of Iraq, will accept it.
Although it is not yet known what the specific contents of the investment plans of the Eastern Alliance and the Federal Republic of Germany in Iraq are, Uday said on the phone that there will be at least one tank manufacturing plant, one aircraft manufacturing plant, and one submarine manufacturing plant. This type of factory is what Iraq needs most right now. Obviously, the young head of the Eastern Alliance hopes that Iraq can win this war.
Under the situation where the Soviet Union suddenly proposed to dig a grand canal in Syria connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Euphrates River, the Eastern Alliance planned to increase investment in Iraq again, which made Saddam have to think about it again and again.
The Soviet Union no longer conceals its colonial intentions by exporting the Red Revolution as it did in the past, but follows the example of the Eastern Alliance to achieve economic control by investing in infrastructure construction. This proves from the side that the youngest heads of state in the Eastern Alliance are not interested in the Soviet Union. The economic and institutional reforms carried out have far-reaching consequences.
The United States has been plotting oil resources in the Middle East since the end of World War II, and Saddam had a very clear understanding of this.
Relying on its world¡¯s largest territory and abundant resources, the Soviet Union has always been a major exporter of oil and natural gas. It seems that we have never heard of the Soviet Union trying to seize other countries¡¯ oil and natural gas resources. Doesn¡¯t the Soviet Union intend to carry out a socialist revolution and instead learn from the Western capitalist world to use capital to control resources?
If this conjecture is true. Doesn¡¯t that mean that the Soviet Union¡¯s socialist system reform was transforming towards a capitalist free market economic system?
From this point of view, the overall pattern of this world will soon undergo earth-shaking changes!
Saddam couldn¡¯t help but feel extremely shocked by his bold assumption.
It¡¯s time for Iraq to seriously consider whether to follow China¡¯s example, open its doors and warmly welcome foreign capital to invest and build factories in Iraq. Perhaps, this joint investment between Eastern United and the Federal Republic of Germany. And the Syria-Iraq canal project led by the Soviet Union is the biggest opportunity.

Munich, KraussMaffei Wegmann Group Proving Ground.
In the drizzle, an improved main battle tank of the Leopard 2 family was galloping across the complex pitted terrain, stirring up a sky full of mud, at a speed of no less than fifty kilometers per hour.
On the observation platform of the test site, Yang Weiping, wearing a black leather windbreaker, held a telescope in both hands. Carefully observe every tactical movement such as gear change, steering, start, acceleration, stop, and shooting of the huge main battle tank that is undergoing rigorous testing.
As early as when he cooperated with Mercedes to produce the avr-1790-1a air-cooled diesel engine and jointly modified and produced the "Siberian Tiger" medium main battle tank, Yang Weiping had already cooperated with Krauss Maffei Wegmann. In-depth cooperation was carried out on the further improvement plan of the Leopard II main battle tank.
During this process, while Tiangong & Mercedes Heavy Diesel Group increased the production of avr-1790-1a air-cooled diesel engines, they also did not forget to optimize and improve the production process of mb873ka-501 water-cooled diesel engines.
After the TK85 main battle tank of the Eastern Alliance Defense Force achieved industrial mass production, Yang Weiping still did not abandon the cooperation with KraussMaffei Wegmann.
Because Yang Weiping knew very well that relying solely on Donglian¡¯s industrial and technical strength, he wanted to create the most powerful and practical Leopard 2a6m of the Leopard II family. Without the cooperation of the Germans, Eastern United would have to fumble for at least ten more years.
Hard work pays off.
After seven years of technical cooperation. Tiangong & Mercedes and Krauss-Maffei Wegmann finally successfully finalized the Leopard 2a6m main battle tank thirteen years in advance.
It can be said that without the support of Donglian in computer and information transmission technology, it would be impossible for KraussMaffei Wegmann to complete the design of Leopard 2a6 now.
The fire control system of this Leopard 2A6 is even more advanced than the TK85 currently in service in Eastern United. Its commander and gunner¡¯s sights and gun control devices have redundant devices to ensure that it can operate in various weather conditions. Respond quickly during combat operations??. Moreover, its fire control system is closely connected with the command system. Even if it encounters a numerically superior enemy tank in a decisive battle, its reaction time of only six seconds can put the tank into optimal combat condition.
In terms of informatization, that is, in terms of communication, this Leopard 2a6 main battle tank can also integrate the intelligence of each vehicle through a data link, and match it with a navigation system and electronic map. The LCD color display clearly indicates the surrounding enemy and friend positions, battlefield information and supply locations, and then plans the route of travel, organizes attack or defense, and even formulates combat plans in advance, etc. This system allows each vehicle to obtain clear and complete battlefield information in the first time, making it easy for troops to assemble and deploy, advance on the best route, and deploy in the shortest time.
It can be said that the Leopard 2a6 main battle tank successfully developed jointly by Eastern Alliance and West Germany has greatly surpassed the M1A2 main battle tank still under development in the United States in terms of informatization. For this reason, it was classified as a top state secret by the Federal Republic of Germany, and it was strictly forbidden to disclose even half of the information to any country. Otherwise, Eastern Union has the right to disclose all technical secrets of Leopard 2a6 to countries around the world.
Returning from the observation platform to the information command platform in the observation room, Yang Weiping and Cole watched the various battlefield information transmitted from inside the test tank. The fast and efficient real-time battlefield information transmission made Cole, the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, Occasionally exclaimed.
"It's too advanced! It's too powerful! It's simply too invincible! This is the most powerful land weapon! This is the tank that Germany needs most!"
"When the German Air Force is equipped with the 22 tactical fighter jets in the new ea plan, I can guarantee that the Bundeswehr will be invincible on the land battlefield!" Yang Weiping pointed to the large LCD screen in front of him and said with a smile: "This set of military data links The most critical thing is that it can realize air-ground information sharing and command."
"But as far as I know, your country's military data link is shared by the navy, army and air force!" Cole pretended to be incomprehensible and asked seriously: "Why can our data link only achieve this? What about open space sharing?¡±
"If your country wants to have a powerful and modern navy, you should wait until the reunification of East and West Germany!" Yang Weiping sighed with regret.
"Mr. F¨¹hrer, do you think Germany can be reunified?" Cole asked, looking at Yang Weiping with a particularly solemn expression.
"If the United States, Britain and France can all support the reunification of Germany, perhaps I can help your country to communicate with the Soviet Union." Yang Weiping replied seriously and seriously: "The Soviet Union is seeking to reintegrate into Europe. If possible, Andre Lobov will not let the GDR become an obstacle to the Soviet Union's return to Europe!"
"Regardless of whether Germany can be reunified in the future, I am very grateful to Mr. F¨¹hrer for having such a heart for the German people." Cole nodded solemnly and said: "The prerequisite for European integration is the reunification of Germany! I believe that Mrs. Thatcher will support German reunification!"
"Perhaps the day when the new EA plan is successful will be the time for Germany to unify." Yang Weiping looked at Cole meaningfully and said with a smile: "Only with strong military strength as a guarantee, will the people of the Democratic Republic of Germany be willing to return to Germany?" To have a sense of security.¡±
Cole could naturally understand the inner meaning of Yang Weiping's words, so he nodded solemnly and said: "Mr. President, please rest assured that our government will definitely make every effort to accelerate the process of the new EA plan!"
After watching the comprehensive performance test of the Leopard 2a6, another equally large wheeled armored vehicle soon appeared in the proving ground.
This "Boxer" armored personnel carrier proposed by Yang Weiping is also an advanced and powerful wheeled armored vehicle that Donglian began to invest in the development of Leopard 2a6 while cooperating with Germany.
As early as when Yang Weiping helped China develop the Type 92 wheeled armored personnel carrier, Yang Weiping proposed a new multi-purpose wheeled armored vehicle tactical concept. However, due to China's lack of funds at the time, this plan has been shelved. In the end, Yang Weiping could only develop it through cooperation between Northern Myanmar and the Federal Republic of Germany at the time, sharing the risks.
What Yang Weiping likes most about this "Boxer" wheeled armored personnel carrier, which has been hailed as "the world's first armored vehicle" by various countries in later generations, is the combination of its unchanged body and modular design.
The car body is welded with high-hardness armor, and the modular design includes a driving module and a mission module. The car body can be kept unchanged, and the rear compartment is divided into groups of modules. The rear space is 14 cubic meters, which is also easy to modify and adjust the modules according to needs. The original personnel transport vehicle can be turned into an armored ambulance, a logistics supply vehicle or an armored command vehicle. Replacing the rear compartment module only takes an hour to complete.
This wheeled armored vehicle with an obvious German style and named "Boxer" has been pursued by KraussMaffei Wegmann and Mercedes as soon as it was proposed. It can be said that it is closely related toBoss Yang hit it off immediately.
After more than six years of continuous design and improvement, it was finally finalized a month ago. The armored vehicle can be transformed into ten models, fully demonstrating its outstanding combination of speed change and multi-purpose performance. Once again, a powerful battlefield weapon was added to the Federal German Army, which was highly praised by the Federal German officers and soldiers who participated in the test. (To be continued)
