Dominate South Asia

E-3 early warning aircraft! Hearing this, John almost jumped up, this was like a lion's mouth!

The E-3 early warning aircraft is an all-weather long-range airborne early warning and control aircraft developed by Boeing Company based on the U.S. Air Force's "Air Warning and Control System" program. It has the ability to look down and monitor manned and unmanned aircraft over various terrains. Ability, alias E-3 "Watchtower".

This is a large early warning aircraft, using a Boeing 707 as its body. It is supported by two pillars and has a nine-meter-diameter disk at a height of 3.3 meters from the fuselage. A radar antenna system is installed inside. When the radar is moved to the sky, it can be used to monitor the ground. It can provide radar monitoring capabilities for the atmosphere, ground, and water surfaces. Especially for low-altitude flying targets, the detection range is more than 320 kilometers, and the detection distance for mid-altitude and high-altitude targets is even longer. This early warning aircraft has advanced performance and high cost. The unit price of the E-3 is as high as 270 million US dollars.

I want to trade a Backfire that has been damaged and needs to be repaired before it can fly, in exchange for an American E-3 early warning aircraft! This is simply unbearable for the United States. This is not a sign of friendship, it is just taking advantage of others!

In addition to the high cost, this kind of early warning aircraft also has strategic significance. For the United States, only its first-tier allies, such as NATO and Israel, are eligible to purchase this kind of early warning aircraft. In the past, the United States actually had a negative attitude toward Pakistan. Containment, because the United States needs to use India's balancing role in South Asia. Now, because the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, the United States regards Pakistan as its little brother, but it will never assist Pakistan with such fighter jets!

Absolutely cannot agree!

"Mr. Brigadier General, we cannot agree to this request." John said, this is no longer Grumman's own business, it is related to the policies and interests of the entire United States.

"With early warning aircraft, we can effectively hold on to the western mountainous areas and give us the ability to fight against the brutal invasion of the Soviets. Mr. John, I am very sorry." Mhamad said.

Seeing John shrugging and leaving, the elder Arslan had questions: "Chief of Staff, when we reported to the president, we did not mention the E-3 early warning aircraft."

There was no E-3 early warning aircraft in last night's plan. Pakistan knew that the Americans would never provide such an early warning aircraft to itself, so they would not even think about it.

"Of course not, I was just teasing John just now." Mhammad said.

Teasing John? Old Arslan suddenly became anxious: "Chief of Staff, if we do this, will they give up? Then our plan..."

"Don't worry." Mhamad said: "Backfire can break through the American aircraft carrier formation. They have worked hard to study Aegis just to prevent the Soviets from saturating the attack. They can get such a flying Backfire." Fire, for them, is a dream, and they will come again."

This is the art of negotiation. Old Arslan still needs some time. We ask for E-3 early warning aircraft, but the Americans cannot agree. As compensation, it is natural to export some low-tech early warning aircraft.

After a tiring night, it was better to rest first. Hamad remembered that he had been at the base since he came back from the United States and had not gone home yet, so he couldn't help but take a car to the family home.

After Mhamad was promoted to chief of staff, a house was reserved for Mhamad in the military compound. In addition, Mhamad wanted to marry Lilith, so there was no refusal.

In the car, Mhammad had fallen asleep.

"Chief of Staff, we're home." The driver in front said to Mhamad.

Hamad opened his eyes and opened the car door, and a girl rushed towards him.

"My dear, you are finally back." Lilith came out of the house when she heard the sound of the car. She was extremely happy to see Mhamad back.

"Well, I'm so busy these days." Hamad said, "When we're done, we'll get married."

Although the wedding has not yet been held, the open-minded Lilith has already lived with Mhamad. However, although Lilith stayed here, Mhamad rarely came back.

"My dear, I know you are busy. It seems like there is a war again these days. I am very worried about you." Lilith said, "I want to work as a medical soldier at your base so that I can see you every day."

Lilith originally had a nursing license and worked in a hospital in the Panjshir Valley. After hearing Lilith's words, Mhammad said, "Okay, when the recent incident is over, I will report to the superiors."

Anyway, there are Americans in the base helping to maintain the Tomcat fighter jets. It’s not a big deal to have one more Lilith. Moreover, Lilith also changed her religion after marrying him, and she also joined her own nationality.

Back in the room, Lilith wanted to woo Mhamad. She hadn't been intimate with him for a long time, but when she saw that Mhamad had returned home and fell asleep on the sofa, she had no choice but to do so. Shaking her head, she felt even more sorry for Hamad.

This time, Mhamad slept soundly. When he came to this world, Mhamad was finally no longer alone. He had a woman to take care of him and give birth to many offspring for him.

Lilith looked at Mhamad like this, quietly staring at the sleeping Mhamad, so manly.

In the afternoon, Lilith heard a knock on the door outside.

When she opened the door, she saw two Americans standing at the door. Lilith knew both of them. One was John from Grumman Company, and the other was Lord, the ambassador of the U.S. Embassy in Pakistan.

"Miss Lilith, is Mr. Hamad here?" John asked.

"Of course he is, he fell asleep when he came back." Lilith said, "I'll wake him up."

"No, let's wait." Lord said: "Chief of Staff Hamad must be very tired to fall asleep."

The two were welcomed into the study, and Lilith prepared a cup of coffee for each of them. They waited until the sun went down before Mhammad woke up.

When he heard that the ambassador and John were coming, Hamad washed his face, asked Lilith to prepare dinner, and came to see the two of them with a smile.

At this time, both of them looked anxious.

"I'm very sorry to keep you two waiting for so long. Now that you're here, let's try Lilith's craftsmanship." Mhamad said, "Please come to the restaurant for a meal."

The host and guest were seated. Lilith had already grilled the steak and opened a bottle of wine, while Mhammad used water.

"Welcome both of you to my home." Mhamad said, "Especially the Ambassador, it is a great honor for you to come here."

Watching Mhammad pick up the knife and fork and eat the beef skillfully, John couldn't help but speak several times, but was stopped by Lord with his eyes. The two sides began to talk about Pakistan's customs and customs, and the relationship between the United States and Pakistan. Friendship, several toasts, and a harmonious atmosphere.

It wasn't until the steak was finished and he was still unsatisfied that Hamad asked: "Do you have anything else to do when you are here this time?"

"It's about that Backfire." John said: "We must get that Backfire. Our president has personally ordered it. We must get it. This is related to our national defense."

Of course, the two of them came here for the Backfire. When John faced the E-3 early warning aircraft issue raised by Hammad, John knew that this was not something that Grumman could solve, but had to be solved by the United States. The government has come forward, and as long as Grumman is the middleman, it will get more benefits.

So, John immediately returned to Islamabad and met with the ambassador. The ambassador immediately went to ask for a meeting with the President of Pakistan. Zia-ul-Haq met them. Moreover, when mentioning this matter, Zia-ul-Haq was also very generous and said that this was a rebellion. Fire is the trophy of the frontline soldiers. As long as the frontline soldiers have no objection, he will definitely support it.

After going around in a circle, they returned to Muhamad. Ambassador Lord knew that this was Zia-ul-Haq's evil idea. He hid in the back and pushed Muhamad to the front to negotiate. Hamad is another guy with a big mouth!

There is no other way but to check out Hammad's words first.

"We also need E-3 early warning aircraft very much." Mhammad said: "The Soviets have repeatedly invaded from ultra-low altitudes in the mountains. Our defense line will be breached at any time. We must have early warning aircraft. Otherwise, once the Soviets attack us without us paying attention, At that time, they came in from the mountains and bombed our Peshawar Air Force Base, and the entire west would be under the cover of Soviet air strikes. "

"I'm sorry, we know that the west is facing an invasion by the Soviets. However, the E-3 early warning aircraft takes a long time to manufacture. The U.S. Air Force only equips more than 20 aircraft, so it is impossible to mobilize them. If we make them specially for you, we will have to "Two or three years," Lord said: "As compensation, we have an alternative."

"Yes, we are willing to provide two E-2 early warning aircraft to fill the gaps in the radar network in western Pakistan." John said: "The operation of the E-3 is too complicated and it is difficult for you to master it at once. The operation of the E-2 is simple and completely possible. Let you master it quickly and improve your combat effectiveness.”

E-2! In fact, what Pakistan originally wanted to own was the E-2 early warning aircraft! E-3 is absolutely impossible, but if Hamad proposed the E-2 as soon as he came up, the United States would never agree. Now, let the Americans take the initiative to propose it. They have compared it with the E-2. -3 Compared with E-2, the difficulty is much lower.

Hamad shook his head: "No, I heard that the E-2 early warning aircraft can only be used by your navy. It can detect low-altitude flying objects on the sea. But in our mountains, there is a lot of clutter, and the E-2 cannot detect them at all. Besides, the E-2 is only available for more than four hours, and two early warning aircraft cannot guarantee that we can monitor it continuously for 24 hours. "

Hamad's attitude was very firm.
