Chapter 512: So Arrogant (Additional Update, Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket)

Bandar Abbas.

It is an important port in southern Iran, close to the mouth of the Persian Gulf. It is a key seaport, but now it is temporarily controlled by the Soviet army.

In order to accommodate more ships, the port is constantly expanding, and various military equipment are also being installed.

For example, now on the shore of Abbas Port, some large four-axle drive off-road chassis are being deployed. The thick and powerful off-road tires have the unique violent beauty of the Soviet Union. On top of these off-road chassis are two huge tubular objects, with a command cabin in front and a radar antenna erected high on the top.

"We transported this from the Black Sea Fleet. This is the 4K51 shore-to-ship missile system. It has an effective range of one hundred kilometers and can effectively block the entire Strait of Hormuz." A naval lieutenant said to the general who was approaching.

Andre has been here the whole time. After discussing with Saddam and letting Saddam return to Baghdad with satisfaction, Andre checked the deployment here. After all, Andre knew that although this move of his was a good one, it was too much of a stimulus to the West. He didn't know what choice the Americans would make, or even whether they would do something desperate. Therefore, everything must be deployed well!

To block the Strait of Hormuz, missiles from shore ships are enough, and there is no need to dispatch our own warships! Occupying such a precious place, Andre must of course maximize its effectiveness.

For example, now.

After setting up checkpoints here and intercepting the oil tankers transporting crude oil abroad, the world crude oil price began to soar instantly. So far, it has risen to US$45 a barrel, and this is just the beginning!

Andre knew that the Iranians had done this in history. Although they were not so arrogant as to set up checkpoints for direct inspection, they also drove speedboats to intercept crude oil ships here at will, and even hijacked the tankers directly.

The result was that the United States joined in. The U.S. Navy participated in the escort and even deliberately created several accidental attacks to deter the Iranians from going too far! At the same time, the United States also began to support Iraq in a big way.

It can be seen that the United States attaches great importance to its energy security. The Middle East is the United States's precious meat! And now, this piece of meat is being ravaged by Andre.

If the Americans want to use force, we are absolutely not afraid, this is interfering in Iran's internal affairs! The Soviet Union has enough excuses to fight back! Moreover, now the Soviet Union has built a copper wall and iron wall here. If the Americans really dare to come, they will also be beaten to a pulp!

Now, the US election is just coming to an end. Carter, this loser, doesn't even have one-tenth of the support of the nation. His biggest wish now is to spend the last period of his administration quietly. At this time, if he dares to take the initiative to provoke the next world war? Congress will definitely not agree!

Therefore, these few months are the time for us to do whatever we want. This period of time is enough to raise the world crude oil price back to the high price of US$80 a barrel!

Of course, the deployment is necessary to let the Americans know that there is no hope of interfering at this time. These shore-to-ship missiles are meant for the American reconnaissance satellites to see!

"Yes, that's right." Andre said, "However, we must also pay attention to air defense threats and prevent possible sneak attacks."

What if the Americans come over at a very low altitude and blow up our shore-to-ship missiles?

"Yes, we have deployed a SAM-11 air defense missile battalion and a self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery battalion here. If we find an enemy invasion, we will launch an attack immediately." The lieutenant continued.

Andre nodded: "Yes, that's right. Although Iran is now at peace, we must never forget the war, especially we must not forget that there are still evil countries in the world eyeing us covetously."

"Yes," said the lieutenant.

"The repair shop is just ahead, right?" Andre said, looking into the distance.

"Yes, our nuclear submarine is currently undergoing maintenance there."

"Let's go and take a look," Andrei said to his Cossack bodyguards.

949-class nuclear submarine! Because of the last collision, almost all of its cards were exposed. However, after the incident, Captain Nilgayev was not punished. Instead, he was awarded a Lenin Medal for his heroic combat.

At this time, the Soviet Union should show its sword! Let the Americans know that they have advanced nuclear submarines that can freely swing under the belly of the US fleet! Moreover, the anti-ship missiles they carry are enough to bury the entire US fleet to the bottom of the sea!

Right after the incident, Moscow Pravda published a lengthy report and analysis, and also "leaked" some of the Type 949's technical data. According to these analyses, only one Type 949 was needed to destroy an American aircraft carrier fleet!

After the incident, the American aircraft carrier fleet withdrew to the Pakistani port and did not continue to follow, which shows that they were also afraid.

For the Soviet Union, moderate "leaks" would not cause the Soviet Union to completely lose its secrets, because a series of problems were found in the first two Type 949 submarines after they were put into service. Therefore, in addition to the first two submarines, this class of submarines will undergo a large-scale improvement. For example, the length will be increased by 9 meters, and the displacement will also be increased by about one thousand tons.

Thus, even if the Americans have now recorded the sound characteristics of the 949 class, the improved model has changed! For the United States, it is still impossible to grasp the characteristics of the most advanced Soviet submarines.

At the same time, the Soviet Union was able to master the American submarines, because the Oscar class also brought back a prisoner! It was also because of this contribution that Nilgayev was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

There were already maintenance equipment in the port of Abbas. After the accident here, a batch of machinery and personnel were mobilized from the Black Sea Shipyard and rushed to the port of Abbas to repair the two submarines.

The Soviet Union did not have any super-large submarine transport ships, so the Oscar-class was brought back to the Soviet shipyard for repairs, and now it can only be repaired here.

When Andre arrived, he found that the huge Oscar-class submarine was being padded and slowly towed to the shore, which was almost the reverse process of launching a submarine.

And at the back, the collision site is so obvious, the outer shell is damaged, the silencer tiles have fallen off, and at this time, there is something mixed in this part, the Los Angeles-class control tower?

"We were afraid that if the two were separated directly, it would cause further damage to the structure of our submarine, so we worked underwater to cut off this part of the Los Angeles-class conning tower and tow it ashore together," said Beyaznev, the Soviet submarine engineer in charge.

Hearing this, Andre was stunned. This guy did a great job!
