Dominate South Asia

U.S. Ambassador Price came to Mhammad again, and at the same time, he also brought the American commander in Pakistan, Brigadier General Cruz.

"President Hamad, we are here this time to ask for help from you." Pulis said: "We are about to launch a large-scale military operation and need the support of your ground-effect aircraft."

Pulis has grasped the right balance very well, maintaining the dignity of the United States without causing unpleasantness with Mhammad. Now, his words are full of friendly goodwill, and it is difficult for Mhammad not to agree. .

This was originally what US Secretary of State Baker was talking about when he came to Pakistan. Now, the United States has ordered a large number of joint attack munitions from Pakistan and has also completed the fire control system matching the F-16 and A-7 attack aircraft. Improvements, after several tests, proved that Pakistan has not shrunk, the accuracy is as high as ever, and can fully meet the United States' requirements for low-cost precision weapons.

Now, another aspect that was discussed at the time was that Pakistan would dispatch ground-effect aircraft to help the United States transport troops. To this, Mhamad also agreed.

"Okay, there is no problem at all." Mhamad said: "Our factory has newly started construction of six ground-effect aircraft, which have passed factory inspection. Now, we can provide you with ten ground-effect aircraft at any time."

Ten ground-effect aircraft, each of which can transport eight main battle tanks, can deliver eighty main battle tanks in one wave. This is the number of an armored regiment!

Moreover, inspired by the success of these ground-effect aircraft, experts invited from the Soviet Union, together with experts from Pakistan, began to develop larger super-large ground-effect aircraft with a take-off weight of more than one thousand tons! Such one can transport more than twenty main battle tanks. With certain auxiliary equipment, it becomes an incredibly powerful transportation tool.

"We need to verify that this aircraft, in addition to flying on the sea, can also fly on the river." This is when Cruz, the military attache stationed in Pakistan, spoke.

In the original agreement, Pakistan leased these aircraft to the US military, and even the pilots had to be Pakistanis, in order to prevent the United States from obtaining the secrets of these ground-effect aircraft.

And now. It was reasonable for the other party to make this request. Mhammad said calmly: "Of course, not just on the river, but also in desert areas and hilly areas. You can also sail normally, as long as it is not mountainous."

The principle of ground effect aircraft is ground effect, which means that when the aircraft is very close to the ground or water surface, the upper and lower pressure difference of the entire aircraft body increases. The lift will be greatly increased, thereby improving the efficiency of the wings, allowing the ground-effect aircraft to have a transportation capacity similar to that of a ship. There is also the speed of the aircraft.

As long as the bottom is flat, it will be fine, whether it is the water or the ground. However, when the Americans asked this, they obviously meant something else.

Originally, Hamad promised to transport US troops from Gwadar Port to Kuwait and land suddenly. To attack the Iraqi army in Kuwait, but now that the Americans have proposed to verify that they can navigate normally on the river, there must be other purposes!

What do Americans want to do? With just one look at the large-scale map on the wall, Hamad knew what the Americans were up to.

victory! The Americans must use a complete victory to prove to the whole world that the Americans have the most powerful force in the world. Who has pissed off the Americans? Then there is only one end!

Last time, the Americans failed miserably, and they were defeated by Scud missiles. When the American troops were stationed in the range of Scud missiles, they would face the threat of death at any time. This risk cannot be overestimated!

And after Iraq drove away the Americans again. In order to defend themselves against the Americans, like last time, they deployed their heavily armed army and the prestigious Republican Guard to Kuwait to be on guard against American landing operations at any time.

If the Americans want to fight a conventional war, they will have to face Iraq's Scud missiles. This has made the Americans take no action even though they have declared a state of war.

Now, after waiting for so long, they have come up with a new action plan. This plan is to attack the rear. The Iraqi Baghdad is now almost an undefended city!

The heavily armed troops arrived in Kuwait, and only the Presidential Guard was left in Baghdad. If the American armored troops arrived directly in Baghdad and surrounded Baghdad, Saddam would be a turtle in the urn.

If there is no Pakistan, the only thing the Americans can use is the airborne army! If this kind of military service cannot carry heavy equipment and parachute directly to Baghdad, it will only be captured by the heroic Iraqi people. It must be a heavily armed force!

Where are the heavy troops? Right in Port Gwadar! How to get to Baghdad? Take Pakistan’s ground-effect aircraft directly and fly to Baghdad! It only takes a few hours to deliver nearly a hundred main battle tanks and tens of thousands of troops! There is no suspense in such a battle!

Iraq is located in a two-river basin, with both the Euphrates and Tigris rivers flowing through Iraq. Baghdad straddles both banks of the Tigris River and is only more than 30 kilometers away from the Euphrates River. No matter which river it rushes into, it can achieve its strategic intentions.

With such a rapid advance, all of Iraq's Scud missiles became decorations!

Americans must have this idea! Directly across the river from the Persian Gulf and close to Baghdad! Strike hard and hit the vital point!

Thinking of this, Liam Hamad admired these Americans. The country has been in this state due to terrorist attacks, and the U.S. military has been under tremendous pressure. There is such a whimsical but easy-to-implement method!

If you fly directly there, you are unlikely to be discovered by the Iraqis along the coast. However, the speed of the ground-effect aircraft is more than 500 kilometers per hour, which makes it impossible for the Iraqis to react. Moreover, the United States also has air superiority and can bomb along the way. Block the sight of Iraqis!

Mhamad, who has extraordinary fighting talent, guessed the movements of the American soldier in front of him just by asking a question. Then, Mhamad continued to smile and said: "I have an idea, please." From Gwadar Port, we took our ground-effect aircraft across the Persian Gulf and landed in Saudi Arabia. Landing near Dhahran, flying directly on land, heading north, crossing the desert, entering Iraq in the Hijra Desert of Najaf Province, continuing forward, reaching the Euphrates River Basin, continuing upstream, 30 miles west of Baghdad Landing at a distance of 10 kilometers, heading straight for Baghdad!”

Mhamad's words made Cruz's eyes suddenly light up.

Originally, the plan prepared domestically was to go straight from Kuwait to Baghdad along the Tigris River. However, along the river are the most densely populated places. The Iraqis will definitely find them along this way, even with the help of ground-effect aircraft. The high speed, coupled with the air force's blockade, allows for safe arrival, but there is still the risk of leaking information.

Although the route mentioned by President Hamad seems more tortuous and long, it lands ashore when it is not close to Kuwait and has been flying over the desert. It is almost an uninhabited land and there is no way. You will find that there is a risk of exposure only during the last section of sailing along the Euphrates River, but you are already close to your destination.

President Hamad, who has experienced many years of war, has a more vicious view of the problem!

This can’t be blamed on those who made the plan. They just knew that this kind of ground-effect aircraft could sail on the sea, so it should be able to sail on wide rivers. They really didn’t know that this thing was deserts, swamps, hills, almost They are all one-size-fits-all.

Dhahran! Every time this word is mentioned, it is like a shame to American soldiers. Now, it is finally time to wash away the shame!

"Okay, we will definitely pass on Mr. President Mhamad's suggestions to the country," Cruz said.

"Mr. Pulis, we in Pakistan fully support your country's war, and you will definitely treat our war in the east in accordance with the agreement reached in advance, right?" Mhamad asked.

Pakistan's full support is actually to earn American military expenditures, and the United States' commitment to Pakistan is not to interfere in wars on the South Asian continent.

Now, hearing Mhamad's words, Pulis nodded solemnly: "Yes, we will definitely stick to the plan we made before overthrowing Saddam's regime."

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Pulis felt something was wrong. Sure enough, Mhamad then asked: "So, what do you mean, are you going to regret it after the war in Iraq is over?"

"President Hamad, you have misunderstood. Your support this time is a strong support for us to quickly pacify Iraq. Our US attitude towards Pakistan will never change. President Bush is very grateful to you for your support in this Iraq war." attitude," Pulis said.

At least President Bush will not change. After all, after fighting this war, it will be time for President Bush to leave office. Now he needs Pakistan’s support and urgently needs those ground-effect aircraft to help the Americans transport troops. As for Pakistan’s sit What Dacheng will look like and whether it will become a new threat to the United States in the future will be a headache for the new president after he takes office.

President Bush needed a complete victory to add color to his presidential career.

Hamad nodded: "Let us handle our own affairs in South Asia."

After the Americans left, Musharraf said sadly: "If the Americans really do this, it will hit Saddam's weakness."

"Of course, but the Americans will not succeed." Hamad said: "Now, contact Xiao immediately." (To be continued ~^~)
