"...I am chasing the Iranian defeated soldiers, and then a group of strange tanks suddenly appeared... Many of the explosive tanks were a strange armor-piercing bomb, nailed to the turret. In about a second, the tank exploded..." Iraqi soldiers who were fortunate to witness it with their own eyes introduced to the engineers of the Lower Tajik Group and officials of the Logistics and Equipment Department of the Soviet Planning Commission.

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

"I heard that our high-explosive bombs cannot penetrate the opponent's armor? Even if our armor-piercing bombs hit the opponent, it is useless? The tanks still have combat power on the armor-piercing bombs?" the engineer asked gritted his teeth.

They came to Basra, and judging from the information they collected, the situation was not optimistic.

It is unimaginable that the opponent's armor-piercing bombs can kill their powerful defensive armor. Even if the armor-piercing bombs they studied hit the opponent, the high temperature generated by the armor-piercing bombs when breaking through the metal will not be able to destroy the internal facilities of the opponent's tank and still have combat capabilities.

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

Hearing this, it seemed as if he had encountered something extremely terrifying. The soldier who was questioned looked frightened.

Finally, after the chief scolded, he understood and replied tremblingly: "When the tank that was chasing us, two armor-piercing bombs were hit in the position of the main armor, and three armors on the side were hit. Even the back of the turret was hit, and the two tanks around us were still knocked down continuously. Finally, he 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 Tajik Group jumped up directly.

Their armor-piercing bombs, even the T64 with stronger defense, can penetrate, or frontal armor!

Iraq's hegemony in the Persian Gulf will have great benefits for the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union could completely wipe out the oil wealth of the Persian Gulf, and at the same time, it could also obtain a warm water port that the Soviet Union lacked.

The tanks they provide to Iraq are not simplified versions for Vietnamese monkeys and India.

The Chinese used anti-armored missiles to destroy a lot of Vietnam's T72s. The relationship between Iran and China is not very good, but it has a good relationship with Pakistan. The relationship between Pakistan and China is very strong. I am worried that the Iranians obtain China's anti-armored missiles through Pakistan, which will cause a serious blow to the export of the entire T72.

Similarly, it will also cause an immeasurable blow to the continued production of such main station tanks in the entire Soviet Union and the Franchise Republic.

"Chekov, the facts are in front of us!" After investigating the situation, Kiravsky, the person in charge sent here, who was also the deputy general secretary of Tajik, said with a gloomy face.

"But who produced these tanks? Are they Americans?"

"It should not be an American. If Americans have such equipment, they will give priority to equip themselves! Any country that produces such tanks will give priority to equip themselves..." Kiravsky said, shook his head.

Under pressure from the Soviet Union, the Americans have been studying new tanks.

Their new tank has just been tested and has begun small batch trial production. Its appearance is similar to that of Iranians, but the United States has heavy tanks.

"Is it because Iran itself studied it? This is even more impossible! If it comes from China, China should give priority to equip their northern legions rather than exporting. I have never heard of Chinese exporting weapons and equipment to Iran!" Xie Lieping, who was in charge of intelligence, also came here.

The information in his hands. After the special forces battle with China in 1979, he has collected a lot of Chinese intelligence.

The Northern Legion was not equipped with new tanks, but only increased the number of unknown number of cloud explosion bombs to the 130 rockets in the warhead. Even the anti-tank missiles that destroyed the Vietnamese T72 tanks were not equipped.

China is under greater pressure than Americans.

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

The whole world is very clear.

It can withstand the blow of t72 and easily penetrate t72. With the Chinese people's character of hiding any good things, it is impossible to export them.

"All intelligence personnel must be mobilized to fully understand the problem in this regard. The performance parameters of these tanks, the source." Kiravsky gritted his teeth and ordered.

"No need to say. Not only this kind of tank, but also the source parameters of air defense missiles in the hands of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps must also be clarified! If the Iranian country can make these weapons and equipment themselves, it must destroy their research and production units!" Xie Lieping knew these problems better than anyone else.

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

If these tanks were from the Soviet Union, it would have increased the pressure on the Soviet Union.

If these tanks came from the United States, it would also put more pressure on the Soviet Union.

The Soviets have always had bad relations with Iran. Even if Khomeini opposes the Americans now, it is not easy for the Soviet Union to reach out.

Americans' intelligence agencies in Iran are far more powerful than the Soviet Union.

The CIA's forces, after the overthrow of the Pahlavi dynasty, were destroyed some of the intelligence agencies. With the outbreak of the hostage incident in Tehran, the CIA once again injected a large amount of funds to rebuild Iran's intelligence agencies.

However, there is no achievements.

In this world, nothing is beyond trace.

The US intelligence agencies quickly turned their attention to Pakistan.

The United States is not worried about the impact of these tanks on them, but through Pakistan's intelligence personnel, it learned that most of the tanks in Iran are the same as the XM1 project, and even many things surpass XM1. Pakistan and the United States are not as caring as before, and 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 leaks the secret!

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

"China provided us with an improvement plan for the xm1 tank being studied at the beginning. This shape is consistent with our xm1 tank. What does this mean?" Evik asked with contempt from the bureaucrats of the Ministry of Defense, "We were suggesting to strengthen our investigation into this regard in China..."

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

At the beginning, they doubted, but they couldn't believe it.

The Chinese intelligence department cannot have such powerful capabilities.

No Chinese people participated in any link in the xm1 project. Even the surrounding links are not included.

"Mister, you know the most about this. You have been with Ye Suwen for a long time!" Jim, as a senior technical consultant of the Ministry of Defense and an expert in some key technologies in the XM1 project, is here to put aside his suspicion, and Mister is the most questionable.

Ye Suwen, who is beside Mister, has a very close relationship with China, but there has been no evidence.

"This matter must be thoroughly investigated!" Even though Carter did not want to show too much concern about these matters, he still had to conscientiously perform his duties as president.

In their seriousness, this is a leak. The xm1 project invested huge manpower and material resources. When the Ministry of Defense gave a trial production order of 110 vehicles, a reduced version of this tank appeared on the battlefield between Iran and Iran, and even the performance seemed to be even more powerful than the m1a1 that is about to be finalized by the xm1. Even if this tank is only a medium-sized tank of less than 40 tons, it caused heavy losses to related American companies in this regard.

"Whether the Chinese steal our military secrets or other reasons caused the intelligence to be leaked, the relevant person in charge must be responsible. Mr. Ivek, I hope you can give us a satisfactory explanation. You consume a lot of funds every year, and this kind of thing has happened now. It must be curbed from 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!" Minister of Defense Gates said very seriously.

"Mr. Minister, the Chinese have no basic strength at all. Now they have successfully studied this kind of tank and appeared on the battlefield in the Middle East. Could it be that they obtained relevant technology from the Soviets and then combined our technology..." Jim frowned and put forward his own ideas.

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

There should be many things that are unknown to everyone.

"Impossible, our technical system is very different from that of the Soviet Union. The Chinese microcomputer technology should be obtained from our country, especially some advanced chips, which are very likely to be lost from our country!" Although the Americans took a lot of advantage in the last transaction with China, Mister and Jim lobbled it, let the Chinese people tell the 1,500 horsepower compressed diesel engine technology and 1,500 horsepower gas turbine engine technology that they urgently want to obtain.

This is the hurdle in the hearts of many people.

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

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

He knows better than anyone else what the capital tycoons who control the United States are.

Since World War II, many presidents have not planned to fight anyone during his term, which has made many consortiums that control the national military industry very unhappy.

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

It is unlikely that he wants to be re-elected.

If the dirty activities between the consortium and China are found, there will always be someone who will come out to bear the responsibility for this leak.

"About their missiles..."

"Those missiles also come from the Chinese?" Carter looked surprised.

Evik nodded and said nothing.

"Actually, we should put pressure on Pakistan to prevent them from providing weapons and equipment to Iran!"

"In the end, our control over Pakistan was weakened by the warlord Hali Yak coup. If we put pressure on them again, who will bear the consequences? In addition, Iran has cut off diplomatic relations with us, and Western countries are still providing them with weapons and ammunition. If all of them are eliminated, will we give them the opportunity? If Iran loses Iran, if Pakistan is lost again, who will guarantee our interests in the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean?" Evik immediately asked everyone with contempt.

The United States is not a monolithic part.

It is impossible to solve the interests involved, especially the interests of major companies and the interests of the country.

There was no result in a discussion at all.

Finally, such discussion will continue.

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

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

The peace model was terminated, which is the correct national policy. The Chinese imitation technology is too worrying.

While controlling it, it can also cause China to rebound and prevent them from completely thinking about the Soviet Union.

If the Americans were not so proud, or if China had always been too trash in its foundation, the equipment used by the army was all their technical level in the 1950s and 1960s. Liu Yijiu, who did not appear unexpectedly, would not have to worry about these problems at all.

Even if they knew Liu Yijiu, they would not believe that such a young man would have such a great effect on China's military industry.

At Carter's instruction, CIA personnel in the Middle East disclosed the information to Iraq and transferred the information to the Soviet Union through Iraq.

They could not put pressure on China, as this would disrupt the many plans they had arranged ahead, but the Soviet Union was different.

The Soviet Union could completely put pressure on China, and from public opinion to practical actions.

Whether it was the attitude of the United States or the reaction of the Soviet Union, Comrade Liu Yijiu, the messenger, was not aware of it. It is not too easy for Chinese people to obtain intelligence in foreign countries. China's intelligence departments do not have enough funds to buy some officials to obtain intelligence.

When Liu Yijiu learned about these things, the whole world knew about this information. (To be continued.)
