Dominate South Asia

In order to bring back good things from the US Navy, Hamad took the initiative to undertake such a difficult task to help Reagan fish out those people.

It would be very difficult to contact the extremist organizations in Lebanon directly. Fortunately, Mhamad, who comes from later generations, naturally knows that the final big boss behind these hostage-taking action plans is Iran.

Therefore, as long as the negotiations with Iran are completed, those people can be fished out. At the same time, as a middleman, Mhamad will benefit from some benefits during the negotiation process.

Historically, this matter was led by Israel, with National Security Assistant McFarland running back and forth, and finally reaching these agreements. The United States exported a large number of weapons to Iran, and exchanged weapons for hostages, so that the kidnapped hostages could Returned to the United States safely.

Unfortunately, this incident was later exposed. The always tough government actually made such a deal with a rogue country. Immediately, the Reagan administration fell into a serious crisis of trust, which constituted the famous Iran-Contra incident in history, which almost killed Reagan. Step down.

Now, this matter is completely under the secret control of Pakistan.

After receiving Mhamad's order, the dusty Osama left Islamabad and went directly to Tehran.

In many transactions with Iran, Osama has always appeared as a middleman. This time when he came to Tehran, he was also an acquaintance of Iran's top officials.

Tomcat fighter parts from Pakistan have allowed Iran to resume flying at least a dozen Tomcats, and cooperation between the two parties has expanded. For example, Iran provided funds to improve the Spey engine. Then it was installed on the Tomcat fighter jet. Now, the project has progressed to a critical stage. As long as the engine can be successfully developed, Iran will have at least ten more Tomcat fighter jets flying into the sky because of the engine.

Osama has become a good friend of the Iranians.

"Dear Mr. Osama, do you have anything important to do when you come to Tehran this time?" Iranian Speaker Rafsanjani asked Osama.

Everyone was looking at him, waiting for his answer. I thought the most needed Tomcat engine was about to arrive.

"Good news." Osama said: "The time has come to slaughter Americans. We have reached an agreement with the United States. We will lead the way to release the Americans who were kidnapped in Lebanon. Then, what do the Americans need to do? "It depends on what you need."

Osama is still half a businessman at heart. This time, he naturally treats it as a business.

"Cooperate with the Americans?" Mohsin, the captain of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, frowned: "We will never cooperate with the Big Satan."

"Brother. What's the point of kidnapping those Americans? Kill them for fun?" Osama said to Mohsin: "Those hostages must maximize their interests. With one person, Would you like to replace it with a Tomcat fighter jet?”

"Change, of course." Muhsin said: "With one more Tomcat fighter, we can kill more enemies."

"That's right." Osama said: "Use these hostages to exchange weapons with the Americans. You are now fighting fiercely with Iraq. These weapons can help you gain an advantage on the battlefield."

"We need to report this matter to the great leader." Rafsanjani said.

Watching Rafsanjani leave, Osama quietly drank milk tea. He knew that the wily Khomeini would never give up this opportunity.

Sure enough, Khomeini's instructions came quickly: "If we take one step, the Great Satan will take a hundred steps."

This deal. It is good for Iran. How could Iran disagree?

"We need TOW anti-tank missiles, spare parts for Tomcats, Phoenix missiles, and other munitions." Soon. The people in the room determined the number.

Take this densely written paper. Osama stuffed it into his pocket: "In order to prevent the Americans from causing trouble, we need to proceed step by step. The United States will first provide one-fifth of these weapons and put them in our bases, and then let the Lebanese organizations release them." One person, at the same time, we will bring the weapons. Then the Americans will provide the weapons, and the Lebanese organization will release the people. What do you think?"

"Of course that's good," Rafsanjani said.

It is definitely not possible to pay with one hand and deliver the goods like the underworld. Iran still needs to negotiate with the organizations below to let them release the hostages. Once released, the Americans are unwilling to give these weapons, and Iran has nothing to do.

So Osama offered a compromise.

Iran agrees with this and Osama's plan is very suitable.

After leaving Tehran, Osama was in a good mood. The weapons shipped from the United States must be stored in Pakistan first, so that Pakistan can withhold part of them. It is too simple.

For example, for those Phoenix missiles, Iran's request is to return all 430 Phoenix missiles detained by Iran to Iran. In this way, they will be divided into five parts, requiring 86 missiles each time. In the list provided to the United States, each missile is required. One hundred and fifty are required at the first time, then all the rest will be received in Pakistan's air force arsenal.

Iran originally ordered a total of more than 700 Phoenix missiles and paid for them all. As a result, a revolution occurred in Iran. Except for the more than 200 missiles that arrived in advance, the rest were all given to the Americans by the Americans. Buttoned down.

This is a really good deal! Even Osama had an idea in his mind, to rob a group of Americans all over the world, and then ask them for things!

Osama secretly returned to Islamabad and reported to Muhammad that this matter must be done very secretly. Once discovered, Pakistan's position will be very embarrassing.

After receiving the news, Muhammad was very happy and immediately summoned Arnold, the US ambassador to Pakistan.

He handed the request of the Iranians with the changed number to Arnold. Although Arnold frowned, he was still somewhat satisfied. He frowned because he wanted too much. The Iranians were really greedy, and he was satisfied because this matter still had a clue.

"I will ask the president for instructions. After the president discusses it, I will convey it to the Iranian side through you." Arnold said.

"Mr. Ambassador, there is another thing." Muhammad said: "When I visited the United States, President Reagan promised us to sublease two Kidd-class destroyers. Our navy is ready. When can we go to your country to receive them?"

At that time, Muhammad was responsible for contacting Lebanese extremists and releasing American hostages. Of course, there was a condition, that is, the United States gave two Kidd-class destroyers to Pakistan. This was Pakistan's main purpose.

What Muhammad valued most about these two destroyers was the standard air defense missiles on them, with a range of more than 40 kilometers, which could provide effective medium-range air defense protection for the fleet. This is its greatest role.

Based on these missiles, through mapping and imitation of new air defense missiles, the strength of the overall fleet can be effectively improved.

After hearing what Muhammad said, Arnold said, "I'm sorry, Mr. President, we have made new changes on this matter. The Navy is unwilling to decommission the Kidd-class destroyers and equip them to you. These destroyers are responsible for important combat readiness tasks."

Mhammad's eyes suddenly changed: "What do you mean?"

The Americans are not so stupid. If they don't provide destroyers, they won't be pimps. American hostages can do whatever they want.

Moreover, according to the American nature, this matter should be dragged on before the hostages are released. After it is completed, they will tell their side that the destroyers cannot be provided. Give you a few gunboats. That should be it.

Now, why do Americans change their minds at this time? It's not right.

"After you left, we discussed and decided to give the USS Oriskany to your country according to the first plan you proposed in order to make our allies have more maritime combat capabilities than the Indians!"

Give it to your own aircraft carrier? What do the Americans think? It changes too fast, right?

Arnold looked at Muhammad and admired Muhammad's negotiation wisdom very much. He actually fooled the US President and others at that time.

He said that he wanted an aircraft carrier and a nuclear submarine, which was pure nonsense. With Pakistan's national strength, how could it support such advanced weapons? Once an aircraft carrier is deployed, it will cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars. After all, an aircraft carrier is of little use. It must be a fleet to be more useful.

What Muhammad wanted at that time was the Kidd-class destroyer! This kind of destroyer with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons was originally developed for Iran. The air conditioning power was increased and it can sail in the South Asian waters.

Moreover, the ship has complete anti-submarine, air defense, and anti-ship weapons and strong combat capabilities. Pakistan wants this destroyer!

After careful research, the US Navy felt that it was still impossible for Pakistan to obtain such an advanced destroyer. After re-evaluation, they suddenly realized that giving the unwanted retired aircraft carrier to Pakistan was a real pit.

The most powerful thing about the United States is their aircraft carriers. No matter where in the world something that damages the interests of the United States happens, the first question the president of the United States asks is where are our aircraft carriers?

Aircraft carriers are powerful, but it is not just the aircraft carriers themselves that are powerful, but the entire aircraft carrier fleet! The outer layer is the frigate, the middle layer is the air defense destroyer, the inner layer is the aircraft carrier, and underwater, there are nuclear submarines, which form a steel Great Wall on the sea to exert the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier.

With only one aircraft carrier, it is an iron coffin on the sea. (To be continued ~^~)
