Dominate South Asia

Chapter 562 Ballistic Missile Engineering

American-style democracy treats countries differently. The United States will accuse countries that are not good with the United States of being autocracy. However, the United States will not mention countries that are friendly to the United States. Countries like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are very important to the energy security of the United States. The relationship between the United States and these countries is also very friendly, so Americans will never accuse these countries of being undemocratic.

Hamad pointed out clearly that the United States is not exporting democracy, it is simply hegemony and should be treated differently!

Mhammad's words made Robert very depressed. Robert said: "If your government insists on going its own way, isn't it afraid that we in the United States will contact the entire Western world and impose sanctions on you?"

"Mr. Robert, your thinking is really confusing. Now we are discussing the issue of Bangladesh. If you want to impose sanctions, it should be sanctions against Bangladesh. What does it have to do with us, Pakistan?" Mhammad couldn't help but ask. I laughed at this guy in my heart, he is really not a qualified diplomat!

"Pakistan is also ruled by a dictatorial military government!" Perhaps Robert was too angry. This sentence really did not pass through his mind, and he said to the president of Pakistan's military government, Hamad: "We in the United States do not want to see An authoritarian Pakistan! We hope that Pakistan will remain democratic and free! Pakistan’s presidential election should be an election in which everyone has the right to vote!”

Hearing this, Hamad's eyes suddenly showed murderous intent. What is Robert? He is just a big capitalist, relying on Bush to get some sponsorship during the election. Bush rewarded him for his merits and sent him to South Asia. As for Mhammad, he climbed up to his current position step by step, stepping on the corpses of countless enemies.

Seen by the eyes of Hamad. Robert immediately felt a cold feeling on his back. At this moment, he even had a feeling that the person in front of him seemed to want to kill him!

If this guy was not the American ambassador, Mhamad really wanted to kill him now, but Mhamad could only clenched his fists and said word by word: "Ambassador Robert, I really want to know, what happened just now?" Did you mean this by yourself or by the US government? Is it the US government’s intention to overthrow our Pakistani government?”

Robert was speechless for a while. Subvert the Pakistani government? Bush Sr. would never give him such a task! Just now he was just angry, but now, asking him to admit it was his idea in person would be a slap in the face, so he could only remain silent, his face terrifyingly gloomy. However, he didn't dare to face Mhammad's eyes, so. All he could do was turn his head and walk away.

Anyway, the purpose of coming here is to protest against the Pakistani government, demanding that Pakistan withdraw its troops from Bangladesh, and demanding that the military government in Bangladesh collapse. And now, these protests are demanding. Obviously of no use.

What the hell does it have to do with America? In fact, it really has nothing to do with the United States, but it does have to do with India. If Pakistan stationed troops in Bangladesh, and if the government of Bangladesh fell to Pakistan, India's international environment would be even worse. Therefore, the United States must engage in diplomacy. Put pressure on.

Put pressure on Bangladesh? Bangladesh is a poor country to begin with. Sanctions against Bangladesh have no effect. On the contrary, Pakistan is different, now Pakistan. The economy is developing rapidly and has close ties with the West. If sanctions are imposed on Pakistan, their economy will be greatly affected.

This time, it is also a test for Pakistan to see if Pakistan is still as obedient as before. If Pakistan is still not obedient, it must let Pakistan know that the United States is angry, and the consequences will be serious.

Watching the arrogant American ambassador leave, Mhamad's face was still gloomy. In the past, Americans were just talking about it, but now, Americans are afraid that they are going to take action.

"Americans are so overbearing. Do they think they are the world's police?" Old Arslan pounded the table angrily and said. Although old Arslan had stayed in the United States for several years, it was just a place of residence. His home has always been Pakistan.

"This time, we cannot compromise." Mushaaf said: "The Americans want to subvert the regime in Bangladesh, and even more want to subvert the regime in Pakistan. They actually accuse us of being a dictatorship. This is absolutely intolerable to us! We last year ,Didn’t we just hold an election?”

There are elections in Pakistan, but there is no doubt about the results of the elections. Every time, Hamad was unanimously elected as the president, because the other presidential candidate has never appeared in front of the people. , there were no speeches, and I had never even heard of the party. This party was only established a few days before the election. This kind of election is actually just a formality.

However, the Pakistani people sincerely support Mhamad. Over the years when Mhamad has been in power, Pakistan has undergone earth-shaking changes. Militarily, it has defeated its old enemy India without the power to fight back. Economically, the people's living standards have improved. It has doubled several times. The people don't care whether there is a dictatorship or not, as long as it can bring tangible benefits to the people.

However, from the perspective of foreign countries, Pakistan is indeed suspected of being a dictatorship.

The Americans want to interfere in Pakistan's internal affairs, which no one can agree to. Now Pakistan's top leaders share weal and woe with Mhamad.

"The premise of our close relationship with the United States is the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan." Muhammad said: "Now, this premise has disappeared. The Americans will definitely support India. As we become stronger, the Americans will gradually regard us as a threat. Today's situation, even if it does not happen now, will still happen in the future."

Similar events in history have happened. The United States wants to impose sanctions on Pakistan! Muhammad knew that after Robert exaggerated the report to Bush Sr., the tough Bush Sr. would definitely agree to sanction Pakistan. This old guy is also a guy who has come through the war.

And Pakistan has long been prepared for all this.

"And during the period of US sanctions, we must continue to develop our economy and our military strength." Muhammad said: "By the way, how is our ballistic missile project going?"

Ballistic missiles! This is a national weapon. Only when ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons are combined can they be the spear and sword of a country.

The original source of Pakistan's ballistic missile technology was the Dongfeng-3 ballistic missile introduced from China. This is a liquid ballistic missile with a range of 3,000 kilometers. Later, Pakistan secretly introduced some Scud missiles. However, the research on these missiles was only for Pakistan to master more ballistic missile technology. Muhammad's eyes were still on solid ballistic missiles. Solid ballistic missiles save the process of fuel filling and can achieve the goal of hit and run. Pakistan has also introduced a special tractor production line.

In order to prevent the outside world, especially the West, from being disgusted with Pakistan, these studies have been carried out in secret. Pakistan has not announced it to the public and has not conducted any test launches. Now, since the United States is going to impose sanctions anyway, Pakistan can take this opportunity to test some equipment.

"The imitation of DF-3 is going smoothly. We have secretly imitated more than a dozen DF-3 missiles, but we have not conducted test firings. At the same time, we have also fully mastered the imitation technology of the Scud missile with a shorter range, but we have not carried out large-scale production. The main objects we are imitating now are the SS-23 and SS-20 solid ballistic missiles secretly obtained from the Soviet Union." Mushaaf said.

At the beginning, Muhammad had put a lot of effort into getting these missiles. The Scud missile technology was backward and was an obsolete product of the Soviet Union. It was replaced by the SS-23 ballistic missile. After the INF Treaty, both SS-20 and SS-23 missiles had to be destroyed. Pakistan finally got back the sample missile and imitated it.

"At the same time, our technicians are still planning to make improvements. On the basis of the DF-3 missile, four boosters are tied below and a first-stage SS-23 is added above as the second-stage rocket. In this way, the goal of sending more than 300 kilograms of payload into space can be achieved." Mushaaf said.

Launch vehicle! Missiles and launch vehicles are inseparable. China's famous Long March 2 launch vehicle is actually the Dongfeng 5 intercontinental ballistic missile. In the early days of production in the workshop, or even after production, it was decided whether to label it as Long March 2 or Dongfeng 5.

In fact, Dongfeng-3 is not suitable as a launch vehicle. It has a diameter of only 2.5 meters. When another stage is added to it, the body will be too long, prone to various resonances, and the carrying capacity is also limited. If another stage is added to it, the payload is only 300 kilograms, while the Long March 2 body is 3.35 meters, with a carrying capacity of 1,800 kilograms in low-Earth orbit. The subsequent models that continue to be developed will even exceed six tons and can hit spacecraft.

However, this is a huge breakthrough, indicating that Pakistan has the ability to develop launch vehicles!

"We Pakistan have the right to explore the universe." Muhammad said: "We fully support our space program and let them prepare for the test launch. We will officially announce to the outside world that our space base will be located in Quetta, where we will build a space city to become a base for our space exploration." (To be continued ~^~)
