Dominate South Asia

When Israel wanted to develop the Cub, the United States immediately put pressure on Israel to abandon the development of this fighter. However, the United States cannot rely solely on exerting pressure on China and Pakistan. The defense of these countries is independent. If they are annoyed, they may turn to the arms of the Soviet Union.

As for how to contain them, Reagan does not need to think about it. Reagan is about to step down. Such a difficult problem is obviously given to Bush.

Bush looked into Reagan's eyes and saw that Reagan was also looking at him. He knew how to contain them. Bush had to think about it himself.

"It should be easier to deal with China." Bush said: "They are now developing their economy. In order to develop their economy, they have cut their military twice. The military has completely given way to economic construction. Therefore, their military expenditure must be pitifully small, and their investment in military research and development is also quite small. Many military factories have been converted to civilian use. As long as we export a batch of fighter jets to them at a preferential price, we can kill their self-developed fighter jets in the cradle."

China has no money, and developing fighter jets requires huge investment, so as long as we provide them with a batch at a preferential price, or even provide them with loans, they should accept it in this case.

"Export fighter jets?" Reagan asked.

"Yes, it's F-16/79." Bush said.

Generally speaking, the Soviets like to use monkey versions of their exported weapons, and the Americans also made such an export model with "American characteristics": F-16/J79. This aircraft maintains the overall design, aerodynamics, avionics and other features of the F-16A/B, while downgrading the original third-generation high-thrust turbofan engine to the J79 turbojet engine. As a result, the aircraft's transonic interception and combat capabilities have been greatly reduced, and the range has also been severely reduced. It is completely to fool the exporter. As a result, the model has been in development for several years, but not a single one has been sold. The buyer is not a fool.

Now, Bush proposed this plan and plans to continue to fool China. In fact, it is not a big deal. China's current fighters, such as the J-7 and J-8, are all turbojet. Now give them a turbojet F-16, what's wrong with that?

"I'm afraid they won't like it." Weinberg said, "Look at the new aircraft they developed, the maneuverability should be good."

"I have another suggestion." Secretary of State George, who had been silent, spoke up: "China's military aircraft development is also divided into many research institutes. The competition between the two research institutes in the north and south is very fierce. Now, the research institute in the north has been guarding the J-8-2. There is no progress. Watching the research institute in the south develop new fighters, it has long been jealous. We can cooperate with the research institute in the north. Improve their fighters."

"That can't stop the research institute in the south, right?" Bush asked.

"But their funds are limited." George said, "If their improvement plan is approved, the funds of the southern research institute may not be allocated. Without funds, how can they develop?"

Sure enough, George is more shrewd. These two methods are carried out at the same time, which will definitely suppress the development of fighters in the southern research institute!

"After I take office, I will make a trip to the East. I must promote this cooperation." Bush said.

After Bush takes office, he will definitely visit various countries. This is a convention and also a statement of his own policies. Bush's personal visit to China will definitely promote these cooperations.

China's affairs can be handled in this way, but Pakistan is more complicated.

"From a long-term perspective, Pakistan's dominance will have an impact on the stability of South Asia. Our American policy is to check and balance." Bush continued to analyze: "So, we must support India. Only India can fight against Pakistan and China."

In the past, in order to fight against the Soviet Union, the United States had to support Pakistan, export various weapons to Pakistan, and even export various production lines to Pakistan in order to obtain Soviet equipment seized by Pakistan. Now, Pakistan has finally become big, and the United States has to come back to clean up Pakistan!

Everything cannot be said openly, and the knife must be moved behind the back, so supporting India has become a necessary step for the United States.

This is a long-term major policy, and in the near future, it is still how to solve the problem of Pakistan's self-developed fighter jets.

"We also need to suppress and appease Pakistan at the same time. We can export a batch of Tomcat fighters to them at preferential prices." Bush said: "At the same time, the Soviet Union has gradually withdrawn its troops from Afghanistan, and our equipment should also be withdrawn from Pakistan."

In the past, many equipment were exported to Pakistan in the name of borrowing, such as the Patriot air defense missile system and the E-3 early warning aircraft. Now, I am afraid that Pakistan has already used it as its own equipment. Now that the war is over, Pakistan should return it.

"Also, during the war, Pakistan borrowed a lot of debts from us, and now it is time to pay it back." Bush continued.

Selling them fighters at preferential prices is appeasement, while withdrawing our own equipment and urging them to repay the debt is suppression. If Pakistan does not know what is good for it, we will have to go to our door every day to collect the debt!

Pakistan has no money now? Who are they trying to fool? Pakistan has extended its hands to the Middle East. The largest oil tanker is owned by Pakistan and is now continuously transporting crude oil. Pakistan has many ways to make money!

"Bush has long been an old hand in handling international affairs. Dealing with these things in South Asia is not difficult for Bush." ​​Reagan said: "I believe that during Bush's term, we can see a democratic and free Soviet Union!"

These are all small matters. Now, the big international affairs are of course the Soviet Union! A democratic and free Soviet Union? When that time comes, the red Soviet Union will no longer exist!

Gorbachev is really a good friend of the United States!

Everyone looked at Bush. Bush's victory in the election this time was the glory of their entire party.

Time quickly entered 1989, and Muhammad was still busy. His eyes were mainly on Afghanistan in the west.

Although Afghanistan was different from the history due to Muhammad's time travel, the result was still similar. In 1988, the Soviet Union finally began to withdraw its troops in an orderly manner. If Muhammad's idea was followed, he would rather let the Soviet Union withdraw its troops a few years later, but Gorbachev could not hold on. After all, the daily expenses of this army of tens of thousands of people in Afghanistan were astronomical. Now, after more than a year, even if the Soviets acted slowly, most of the troops had already withdrawn from Afghanistan.

With the withdrawal of the Soviet Union, the issue of post-war reconstruction in Afghanistan was gradually put on the agenda.

In later generations, when the Soviets left, warlords were everywhere in Afghanistan, and a civil war soon broke out, causing the country to suffer from the ravages of war. Now, with Muhammad's crossing, everything is different. The Afghan Free Government has integrated all the forces in the north and has become an absolute force in Afghanistan. The Afghan puppet government is simply unable to confront the Afghan Free Government.

At this time, the seat of the Afghan Free Government is still in Jalalabad, and the city has long been out of its original appearance.

Factories are springing up one after another. The processing of agricultural products that used to be done by handicraft workshops has now become industrialized factories, especially the carpets produced by machines, which are exported overseas.

In the government building, a capable woman is picking up the documents on the last table. She has short hair, a suit, and a full chest. Although she is over 30 years old, she exudes that unique charm.

"Dana, how come I never found out that you are really good-looking in all these years." Osama suddenly said.

"Go, go away." Dana looked at Osama, who was clean-shaven and tall and straight in the uniform of an Afghan Free Army officer. In her heart, she secretly thought that Osama was handsome and unrestrained, but now was not the time to say these things: "Osama, are you sure that we will go to Kabul with a platoon of guards?"

Go to Kabul! This time, it is the last negotiation with the Afghan puppet government. This negotiation will finally determine the personnel placement of both sides in the newly established government.

Last time, the other party came to Jalalabad for talks. This time, the officials of the Free Government went to Kabul. The main members of the Free Government, including President Durrani, Prime Minister Dana, Economic Minister Osama and others, will go. Except for Defense Minister Khawaja, almost all of them are here. In the past, Dana was not good at taking care of her appearance. This time, she represented the Free Government and could not lose face.

If they play tricks, we will only bring a platoon of people, and I am afraid we will not be able to cope with it.

So, Dana is still a little worried.

"Don't worry." Osama said: "If those idiots dare to plot, we can just clean them up."

Osama said it easily.

As long as they are not idiots, they should think that these negotiations are just to let them step down decently. The puppet government is completely supported by the Soviets. If there were no Soviets, they would have been finished long ago.

If they dare to plot, the Afghan Free Army can have enough excuses to kill them all. At that time, the Soviet army, which was in the final stage of withdrawal, would not come to help.

Moreover, Osama had already prepared a response plan.

Looking at Dana's graceful figure, Osama suddenly said: "Dana, do you want to be my fourth wife?"

Dana turned her head and said one word to Osama: "Get lost!" (To be continued ~^~)
