Dominate South Asia

"The value of this wealth is simply immeasurable!" Zia-ul-Haq's eyes widened when he saw these things shipped to Islamabad.

These days, Zia-ul-Haq is full of expectations every day. Now, when all this wealth is in front of his eyes, he is still surprised. He thought that the amount is huge, but it is so huge that in comparison , Pakistan’s treasury is too shabby.

"Mr. President, we have fulfilled our mission and finally completed it." Mhamad said: "Many of this wealth has collection value and can get a better price through auction, but we cannot display it to the outside world for the time being. , all we can use now is this gold.”

The amount of gold is very large, hundreds of tons. In the future, when making external settlements, it will be enough to use gold as a hard currency, and all countries are willing to ask for it.

"Yes, the rest should be sealed in the treasury first, Mhamad, you have made a great contribution this time." Zia-Haq said.

"Mr. President, our tasks are still very heavy. We have to negotiate with all parties, especially Western Europe, to introduce their industries, and to establish a government in Afghanistan. We cannot delay any longer. By the way, you have proposed our proposal to the United States. Got an idea?"

"It has been proposed and the Americans are considering it," Zia-ul-Haq said.

Although it is an affair in Afghanistan at this time, it must have strong support from the United States before this matter can be implemented. Otherwise, with Pakistan's military strength, it will really offend the Soviets, and the consequences will be very unhappy.

Hamad nodded: "I believe that the Americans will definitely agree. After they agree, we can apply for some good things."

If you want to completely control the airspace in the mountainous areas of northern Afghanistan, just relying on the two E-2 early warning aircraft is completely insufficient. Whether the Americans are willing or not, they have to use the E-3 early warning aircraft, even if they are leasing them. Have to be sent to Pakistan. There are also electronic jammers. Only one of them is not enough. At least four are needed. After all, now we are grabbing meat from the Soviets.

"Yes, Hamad, the Americans will definitely agree. We now need to work hard to introduce industry. We need someone to go to Western Europe and start a series of negotiations." Zia-ul-Haq said: "This time The task is also very difficult.”

The basic industries of Eastern countries are relatively sound, including metallurgy, chemical industry, and machinery manufacturing. In the late 1970s, as China-Pakistan friendship continued to develop, Eastern countries helped Pakistan establish heavy machinery factories and heavy electrical factories. , Taxila Heavy Industrial Plant, Pakistan Aviation Industry Complex, Pakistan Engineering Corporation, Karachi Shipyard, Pakistan Machine Tool Factory, Pakistan Ordnance Factory, Pakistan Steel Mill and a series of factories. The aid and construction of these factories has allowed Pakistan to enter the ranks of industrialized countries. However, Eastern countries are not good at high technology, while Western Europe has advantages in high technology.

"Yes, in addition to introducing basic industries, we should also introduce advanced technology. Mr. President, I think we should introduce a production line for heavy trucks and more nuclear power plants."

With industries such as metallurgy and chemical industry, heavy trucks can be produced. The automobile industry is the basic industry of a country. Only by producing qualified automobiles can the success of industrialization be proved. Of course, Mhamad would like to introduce aircraft production lines. Unfortunately, Western countries will not export these production lines, and China, the only ally that can be relied on, is still relatively backward in this regard.

In the process of industrial development in Pakistan, it will face the problem of energy shortage. The introduction of nuclear power plants can alleviate the power shortage. Now, Pakistan already has a 137 MWe Canadian pressurized water reactor, which was operated under international safety supervision in 1971. However, the fuel for this nuclear reactor was purchased. When Pakistan has more nuclear power plants, it will need its own to produce enough nuclear fuel. Pakistan is not a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and is not subject to the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

"Yes, this matter is very important." Nur-Khan said: "Mhammad, I think you are the best representative to negotiate this time."

Hamad was stunned for a moment, go by yourself?

………

United States, White House.

"This is a good move." Reagan said to the person in front of him, holding a cigar in his mouth: "I just wonder, how can Pakistan have the courage to do this?"

Supporting Afghanistan, establishing a government, and also being responsible for protecting the security of Afghanistan's airspace will make the Soviets' lungs explode. This is what the United States wants to see most.

"They don't have the courage, so they need our support." Vice President Bush said: "They informed us that they can only do this if we support them. And we need more than just verbal support."

The Pakistanis also seem to be becoming more slick. When the United States agrees, they will definitely start asking for various things. There is almost no doubt about this.

"Even so, it is beneficial to us." Reagan said: "Afghanistan should have established a new regime long ago. As long as they dare to establish it, the entire Western world will fully support it."

Looking at the president's attitude, Bush did not continue. He knew that the president's determination had been made. However, Bush had a strong premonition that the Afghan Free Army was becoming more and more powerful, and that it would become a united country. Does such a powerful force really serve the interests of the United States?

The people there have always been unruly.

"Inform our ambassadors and we will fully support it," Reagan said.

When the U.S. Ambassador met with President Zia-ul-Haq again, he saw Lieutenant General Mhammad sitting aside, who had not been seen for a long time. His heart suddenly skipped a beat. The presence of this guy meant that Pakistan really wanted to take advantage of this situation. When the opportunity came, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "General Hamad, I'm glad to see you."

"I am also very happy." Mhamad said: "Do our friends in the United States support our new plan?"

"We in the United States provide full support." Lord said: "The Afghan people are finally going to establish their own country. Our Western support has not been in vain."

"However, we will face pressure from the Soviets." Mhamad said: "Especially the Soviet air force will increase the pressure on our air force. Therefore, we hope to obtain E-3 early warning aircraft and three EC- 130H electronic jammer.”

Mhammad put it bluntly.

"I'm sorry, the E-3 early warning aircraft is our strategic early warning aircraft and can only be sold to the NATO alliance group. Your country is still not up to it. Haven't we already leased two additional E-2 early warning aircraft to your country?" Lord He said that before coming, Lord had guessed about the early warning aircraft. Pakistan was simply persistent in this regard.

"But it's different now. The continuous mountainous areas in northern Afghanistan are all our defense areas." Mhamad said: "The detection range of the E-2 early warning aircraft is not far enough, so we must fly over northern Afghanistan to monitor all Air situation, when the Soviets launch an attack, they will probably shoot down our early warning aircraft first. Anyway, these two are leased by us, and the operators on them are your naval personnel. If they are shot down, the loss will not be ours. of."

Mhammad put it bluntly. Although Pakistan had prepared air police personnel at the beginning, the two E-2 early warning aircraft that flew directly from the U.S. aircraft carrier contained U.S. Navy secrets. The United States prohibited Pakistani personnel from boarding the aircraft, and they were completely operated.

Mhamad's attitude is very simple. If we don't support him now, we will be shot down later, and all the Americans will die.

Lord's face suddenly trembled, so vicious!

"I will report this matter to the president. If the president agrees, it will only be on loan at most." Lord said. The United States will never sell E-3 early warning aircraft to Pakistan.

"As for the electronic jammer, we can consider exporting it. I wonder if you have enough funds?" Lord asked Zia-ul-Haq.

The United States has too much military aid, and no matter how free the support is, the United States will indeed be unable to bear it. Now, Pakistan supports the establishment of a government in Afghanistan, and the United States is ready to provide Pakistan with some free missiles. This is already the greatest support.

"For the cause of Afghanistan, our Pakistani government will fully support it. Although our foreign exchange reserves are quite small and our economy is not developed, we are duty-bound for our Afghan compatriots." Zia-ul-Haq said: "Our government has decided to Use our gold reserves to buy directly from you.”

Dipping into gold reserves? In a country, gold reserves are the most important, which directly determines a country's economy. When the financial crisis comes, gold reserves can calm prices and stabilize the economy. Unexpectedly, Pakistan really fought hard for Afghanistan, even gold All reserves can be used.

Zia-ul-Haq looked at the surprised expression on Lord's face and felt very proud, gold reserve! As the president of a poor country, I worry about money every day. Now, I can finally stop worrying about it! Those piles of gold bars are Pakistan’s solid backing!

"In this case, we can export." Lord agreed immediately.

"Mr. Lord, now, free and democratic Afghanistan will finally be established." Mhammad said: "Should we jointly make some non-governmental contributions to Afghanistan?"

Lord nodded and watched as Mhammad took out a thick document: "This is the material that the Afghan People's Government has initially drawn up to support. I hope your country can support it."

Lord looked at the thing and became more vigilant. He took it and saw the first page. It said that Afghanistan needs to mine ores to develop its economy. Below are some mining equipment... Although the unit price is not high, the quantity is too much. Added up, it’s a considerable investment.
