Dominate South Asia

Although it is only one percent more, it shows that Pakistan will dominate. Hamad’s principle is that Pakistan must have the final say, so that when the car is built, all If the other party wants to set a high price and make a large amount of money from the country, Pakistan also has a say. A car is just a tool, and a certain profit is necessary. However, if the selling price far exceeds the price in Europe, it cannot be justified. That is The Germans are using this method to continuously plunder Pakistan's wealth.

"Okay, you can go down." Hamad said, not giving the other party any chance at all.

Leonard looked sad, the person in front of him was indeed difficult to deal with!

A few days later, at the Ministry of Industry, the German Volkswagen Company signed an agreement with Pakistan to officially introduce national cars. At the same time, in response to the hot climate in South Asia, this model will be improved with more powerful air conditioners and engines.

Seeing that Volkswagen was also building a factory in Pakistan, Mercedes-Benz finally couldn't sit still.

Following the example of Volkswagen, Hubert, the president of Mercedes-Benz, brought their most proud NG-80 heavy truck, the Umonik off-road vehicle, to see President Hamad.

However, he was rejected. One day ago, President Hamad went to the front line to inspect the troops. It took him five days to come back.

Five days later, President Hamad was still busy and had no intention of meeting him. When he recommended it to the industrial sector, the attitude of those people was also very cold. In short, they already had an idea. For trucks, expensive trucks like the NG80 are no longer needed.

Hubert couldn't help but feel depressed in his heart. What is Steyr? Backward technology! Where can Mercedes-Benz be so advanced?

He was a little envious of Volkswagen. They had the Beetle, which attracted the president's wife. They even sold it to the president's wife for one mark. And the president's wife definitely didn't like these iron bumps.

what to do? Hubert wanted to pay a bribe, but no one dared to accept it.

Just like that, I waited for half a month. Finally, President Hamad took a few minutes to meet him.

Although he suffered slights, President Hamad's attitude was very friendly.

"It's so kind of you to come all the way. It's just that I've been busy these days and have been neglectful." Mhammad said with a smile.

"President Hamad, I am very honored that you can take time out of your busy schedule." Hubert said: "We are here this time to promote our two military trucks."

"I'm sorry, we already have Steyr heavy trucks. These trucks will be used as military vehicles. There seems to be no need for us to introduce another type of truck." Mhammad said.

"Of course not." Hubert said: "If it is on a flat road, the difference between the two heavy trucks may not be very big. However, military heavy trucks are not just for walking on paved roads. They will go deep into the front line and many places. Even There is no way to go. At this time, our off-road heavy trucks will play a major role. For example, in the mountainous areas of Kashmir, our heavy trucks are definitely more suitable than Steyr.”

Hubert had to convince Mhamad if Mercedes-Benz lost the project to a small Austrian company. It will have a great negative impact.

"In those mountainous areas, our soldiers should walk." Mhamad said: "The trucks are slow and have no protection capabilities, so they will become easy targets for the enemy."

"Of course it has protection capabilities!" Hubert said: "Our NG-80 heavy truck also has 6*6 and 8*8 all-wheel drive models. The chassis of these vehicles remains the same, just change the upper part. It is easy Turning it into a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle is enough to provide soldiers with a certain degree of protection, and it consumes a lot less fuel than the tracked one. It is the most suitable choice for you! "

Wheeled infantry fighting vehicle! This is what Mhammad values ​​too! The NG-80 heavy truck chassis is advanced and has strong off-road capabilities. The all-wheel drive heavy truck chassis can also be converted into a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle!

Compared with the crawler type, the most important thing is that it saves fuel! As long as it has tracks, whether it's an armored vehicle or a tank, it's a monster that drinks oil!

"In this case, we can introduce 500 vehicles in advance and test them in our mountainous area. If the performance can meet the military requirements, we will consider introducing them for production." Mhammad said.

Is this still a test? Have you tested Steyr? It’s just making things difficult! Hubert knew it, but he had no choice. He knew that this was all because the other party wanted to deliberately lower the price. It would be a good idea to let the Pakistani military see that the performance of the NG-80 heavy truck far exceeded that of the other party. Shabby Steyr!

After sending Robert away, Hamad crossed his legs on the table and leaned back. The arrogant Germans also know what it means to deliberately make things difficult, right? In this hard-to-get trick, Hamad found that he was playing it too well.

"Dong dong." At this moment, there was another knock on the door outside.

"Come in," said Mhamad.

Finance Minister Aziz walked in and said to Mhamad: "Mr. President, I am here to report to you on our financial situation."

Aziz was promoted by Mhamad after the incident. He also came from the army and won the trust of President Zia-ul-Haq and the complete trust of Mhamad.

After listening to Aziz's report, Muhammad frowned: "So, our current situation will not last until the end of this year, and we will be out of money?"

Pakistan has invested too much in all aspects. Industry, education, health, and all aspects are constantly developing. In terms of military, cooperation with China and Europe is also like a gold-eating monster, constantly devouring Pakistan's funds.

Pakistan is not a wealthy oil-producing country in the Middle East. So far, Pakistan is still a backward agricultural country. The industrialization transformation has not been completed, and the national economy has not yet embarked on a healthy development track.

"In accordance with your instructions, we have also opened textile factories and carpet factories in the border area of ​​Afghanistan." Aziz continued.

In Muhammad's plan, Afghanistan is an important mineral base and light industrial base. Afghan carpets are also very famous. In the Afghan refugee camps in Pakistan, many people with manual skills have been organized to start weaving carpets.

These are also additional investments.

If it weren't for the gold that Muhammad robbed from India last time, and if it weren't for the investment in the international financial market, they would have no money now. Moreover, it is impossible to get back all the funds invested in the international financial market, so half of them are still circulating overseas. The funds they can get are only the profits, which can only support until the end of this year at most.

Industrial development requires a large amount of investment. Building Pakistan into an industrial country requires huge investment. Muhammad looked at Aziz who came to collect the debt and said: "Construction in all aspects cannot lag behind. Only when we have established industrialization can the national economy enter a healthy development. Now, we can have other ways to obtain later funds."

"We have borrowed money from Saudi Arabia several times. We can't borrow from Saudi Arabia again. We can consider borrowing from Kuwait and other countries." Aziz said.

"We don't need a loan." Muhammad said: "I will handle this matter. You just need to continue to invest boldly."

Aziz left, and Muhammad's hand poked the desk. He didn't catch up with the Hong Kong dollar crisis. He was busy suppressing the rebellion at the time. There was still more than a year before the Plaza Accord. During this time, he had to think of other ways to make money.

How can I make money? Mhamad looked at the large-scale map hanging on the wall, and finally, his eyes looked at the bottom of the map, where a fierce battle was going on at this time.

Angolan Civil War!

This is a country in southwestern Africa, bordering the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the north and northeast, Namibia to the south, and Zambia to the southeast. There is also an exclave, Cabinda Province, which is adjacent to the Republic of the Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

In the 1970s, when the country became independent, the Angolan People's Liberation Movement, MPLA, supported by the Soviet Union, and the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola, UNITA, supported by the United States and the South African government, triggered conflicts and later evolved into a nationwide civil war.

After that, large-scale battles broke out in Mavinga and Cuito Cuanavale, and the Cuban and South African armies directly participated in the war. As a result, both sides suffered heavy losses.

After fighting for many years, in February of this year, the two sides finally began negotiations and prepared to sign the "Disengagement Agreement". However, the United States and South Africa insisted on linking the withdrawal of troops with the issue of Namibian independence, and the negotiations between the two sides reached a deadlock.

In these stages of the battle, the MPLA had the advantage in the sky with the help of the fighter planes provided by the Soviets, while the UNITA had the advantage on the ground, but without air superiority, the South African army had a hard time fighting.

But now, South Africa has fallen into an isolated situation in the international community, and this situation is South Africa's apartheid policy.

There are five million white people and 40 million black people living on the land of South Africa. South Africa is now ruled by white people. It is a country where a minority rules the majority, and black people have no right to vote.

Therefore, it has also won the sympathy of some human rights organizations, who began to criticize South Africa's policy. Western human rights organizations have also changed national policies. Even the United States cannot openly support South Africa. Although South Africa is still the main force in the fight against the Soviet Union, the United States also criticizes South Africa's policy on the surface.

At this time, South Africa is still the only developed country in Africa, with perfect industry, agriculture, advanced scientific research level, weapons research, and a place in the world. It even secretly developed nuclear weapons. It is the most dazzling pearl on the African continent and is known as the Rainbow Country. (To be continued ~^~)
