Dominate South Asia

When the United States announced sanctions against Pakistan and stopped exporting high-tech equipment, Pakistan conducted such a test launch. This is clearly a slap in the face, a slap in the face of the Americans. Didn’t you stop exporting high-tech equipment? America, America, Pakistan can still develop high-tech equipment on its own!

Bush looked at his think tank. When the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, the United States had always supported Pakistan. As a result, Pakistan has become quite powerful now. They are becoming a modern and creative industrial country. This is what the United States does not want to see. Moreover, this country will not only have a strong influence in South Asia, but also in the Middle East. After all, they have the same beliefs.

"Our little brother Pakistan is giving us a hard time." Bush couldn't help but express his feelings.

"Pakistan's ballistic missile project is very secretive." CIA Director William said: "We have spies in all industries in Pakistan, but we have not found Pakistan's secret ballistic missile project. At the same time, we have never found Pakistan's nuclear weapons program."

Talking about launch vehicles and exploring outer space is all bluffing, even if it is true, it won't work. After all, ballistic missiles and launch vehicles are almost exactly the same, except that one is launched and does not return, and the other is launched and then returns.

However, Pakistan keeps saying that it is a launch vehicle, and the United States cannot directly interfere with this peaceful use of space.

Moreover, with the ballistic missile project, will they develop nuclear weapons simultaneously? This is what the United States is more concerned about. If Pakistan still carries out nuclear programs, then the United States will have enough excuses. Implement all-round sanctions.

"However, we found this." William continued, handing some photos to Bush and others.

After receiving the photo, Defense Secretary Cheney couldn't help but say, "Isn't this our Kidd-class destroyer? What are the Pakistanis doing?"

When this destroyer was exported to Pakistan, the air defense missiles on it were almost all stored in the United States. This is a means for the United States. If Pakistan doesn't obey, then they won't give them air defense missiles!

But now. This destroyer is undergoing a major operation on the slipway. You can see that a square hole has been cut on one side of the bridge, and the standard air defense missile launchers in the front and back have also been removed. The bottom has been marked with paint. It seems that these decks are also going to be cut off.

Doesn't Pakistan regard this warship as a magic weapon? Only standard air defense missiles can provide their aircraft carrier formation with the most important regional air defense capabilities? What are they going to do?

"We speculate that Pakistan will open four holes in the bridge, just to install four phased array radars, and the positions of standard air defense missiles in the front and back will become vertical launch devices for air defense missiles." William continued to explain.

"Aegis? Are the Pakistanis going to add the Aegis system to this warship?" Cheney was stunned: "When did the Pakistanis have this technology?"

Four-sided phased array radar, ship-borne vertical launch, isn't this the Aegis system? Now, only Americans have it in the world! Even the Soviet Union, although it also has the Sky Sentinel phased array radar on its aircraft carrier, their electronic system is backward and cannot achieve functions similar to the American Aegis system.

"Pakistan's domestic industries have developed rapidly in recent years, especially with China's industrial departments, and the cooperation is very close. Hasn't our Tomcat fighter been copied by them?" Secretary of State Baker, who understood, said: "Since Pakistan can copy our Tomcat fighter, it can naturally copy our Aegis system."

"Impossible, Pakistan has no chance of getting in touch with our Aegis warships." Cheney said. Now, the Aegis warships in the US Navy are also treasures. Pakistan cannot get them.

"But they have obtained our Patriot system." Baker said, "They are all phased array radars and regional air defense missiles. The Pakistanis must have copied this air defense system."

Copycat! This is the most hateful thing. These were originally patented. As a result, they were copied by others. The United States cannot even ask for patent fees.

Aegis! This is the most proud system of the US Navy. It is believed that it can counter the saturation attack of the Soviet Union's powerful anti-ship missiles. It is unique in the world. Even European allies have not equipped it. At this time, Pakistan has come up with something similar.

Bush Sr. looked serious. The problem of Pakistan is the emergence of a regional power. Although the United States is unwilling to admit it, Pakistan has developed to a strong enough level, especially with its close relationship with China.

"Now, what we need to discuss is how to deal with this problem." Bush said.

How to deal with the increasingly powerful Pakistan? In fact, if it weren't for the particularly good relationship between Pakistan and China, it would be a good choice for the United States and Pakistan to develop into strategic allies. But now... Pakistan has become stronger and has more high-tech weapons. China will get the same technology, and China has never been in the same camp as the United States because of different systems.

The United States must use India to counter China and Pakistan. This is the only option, but now, India is really too disappointing.

"We have two solutions." Secretary of State Baker said: "Now, Pakistan is making every effort to develop aerospace engineering. We can exchange technology, for example, use our Patriot missile technology to exchange Pakistan's development of aerospace engineering, so that they can stop in this regard."

Anyway, Pakistan has already copied the technology of Patriot missiles, so it is better to export these technologies to Pakistan and then reach an agreement with Pakistan in exchange for Pakistan's no longer developing aerospace engineering. In some areas, the United States does this. For example, the rogue country North Korea has been developing nuclear weapons. The attitude of the United States is to exchange food for nuclear weapons, and to provide food to North Korea in exchange for North Korea's promise not to develop nuclear weapons.

However, this plan does not seem to be very good.

"Pakistan will not only ask for our Patriot missile technology, but also our Standard Missile and our Aegis system. Pakistan will ask for them. Pakistan is greedy. If we adopt this method this time, there will be a next time, and the next time. We cannot indulge Pakistan." Defense Secretary Cheney said firmly.

"Then there is only another plan." Baker continued: "We will impose a tighter blockade on Pakistan to prevent Pakistan from obtaining more advanced technology from us in the West. For example, Pakistan's electronic technology is developing rapidly, and it has close technical exchanges with island countries. We can impose further sanctions on Pakistan to prevent them from obtaining all technologies that may be used in aerospace, electronics, military and other aspects from our Western world."

Pakistan's electronic technology is developing rapidly, and electronic technology is the foundation of modern high technology. The Soviets suffered in this regard.

Now, hearing what Baker said, Bush nodded: "Yes, we should increase the intensity of sanctions against Pakistan to prevent Pakistan from obtaining more electronic technology, especially from island countries!"

Sanctions! Pakistan's development has seriously threatened the interests of the United States, and sanctions must be imposed!

"We are very sorry to see that Pakistan has conducted a ballistic missile test. We are very shocked that Pakistan has obtained medium-range ballistic missiles. There is no doubt that Pakistan's ballistic missiles are closely related to a certain country. We solemnly declare that in order to maintain stability in South Asia and oppose the arms race in South Asia, Pakistan is requested to give up the development of ballistic missiles! At the same time, we will limit the export of more high-tech technologies to Pakistan, including various electronic technologies." Later, Baker made this statement in front of the journalists.

Looking at the guy in the TV, Muhammad couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Are these the only means that Americans have? Are there no other tricks?

"Many countries in Western Europe have set up technical barriers for us, and some exchanges with us have also been suspended." The Minister of Industry said to Muhammad.

"Don't worry." Muhammad said: "Some countries in Western Europe are not members of NATO, so there is no need to listen to the United States. For example, France and Sweden, as long as we have money, we can buy the technology we need. Those countries that stop technical exchanges with us and set up technical barriers will soon realize their mistakes."

Not all countries listen to the United States, especially France, which feels good about itself. It often plays against the United States in some international affairs to show its presence. It's just that the French are too black, the price is high, and the relationship with India is too close, so Pakistan rarely cooperates with France. Now, it doesn't matter if it temporarily turns to France.

"Yes." Mushaaf said: "The United Kingdom stopped supplying some of our submarine parts. We can get them from France, but the price is a little higher. There are also countries such as Sweden, which will not be affected by the United States. However, we are afraid that we can no longer obtain more advanced electronic technology from the island countries."

The island countries are absolute lackeys of the United States. They listen to the United States in everything. If the United States wants the island countries to ban high-tech exports to Pakistan, the island countries will definitely do it. (To be continued ~^~)
