No one spoke. If the senior officials in the military region were punished, it would make the soldiers feel disappointed. If they were rewarded, similar incidents would continue to happen. Pakistan was not ready to fight the Soviet air force.

Now, it depends on the president's meaning.

Zia Hack turned his head out the window again. The two J-6s had already flew to the side of the helicopter and began to escort the helicopter. Only this J-6 with excellent mid- and low-altitude combat performance can escort the helicopter. Other aircraft were too fast.

Seeing the president not speaking, calm in the cockpit returned to peace, with only the roar of the engine.

In the distance, the Peshawar Air Force Base is clearly visible.

When the helicopter landed on the apron, senior officials from the Peshawar Military Region were waiting at the airport.

In the distance, there are closely guarded airport guards.

"Welcome to the President to inspect the Peshawar Military Region." Mushaaff said: "All the soldiers of our Peshawar Military Region will express their gratitude to the President."

"I just won a victory, I'll celebrate the warriors." Zia Hack's mouth moved, and his beard then turned to both sides. This action was indescribable.

The scene was serious. Mhamad tried hard to hold back his smile and watched Zia Hak deliver an impromptu speech to the soldiers at the airport to celebrate the victory. The pilots, ground staff, and guards present couldn't help but shout.

Zia Hakk seized power through coups, and the army was his reliance. At the same time, he also knew the importance of controlling the army. No matter when, he firmly grasped the military power, and would also be supported by the lower-level soldiers.

Listening to the soldiers around him shouting long live the president, Mhamad finally realized Zia Hak's intention. This method is really suitable to control the army.

Zia Hak walked up to everyone and shook hands one by one. When he held it next to Mhamad, he was not unfamiliar and said, "Mhamad. You are the pride of our Pakistan, Panjhir lion!"

Even the president knows his name! Mhamad was indeed infected: "Afghanistan is related to the strategic security of our Pakistan. It is appropriate for me to fight in Afghanistan. For our Pakistan, I will move forward!"

Zia Hak patted Mhamad on the shoulder: "Try hard, I'm optimistic about you, young man, the young military chief! When I was like you, I was still fighting in the jungle of Myanmar, and I was just a small company commander."

"I will definitely work hard." Mhamad stood at attention. At this moment, he admired the president from the bottom of his heart. Only those from the army can control a country like Pakistan. Therefore, Pakistan's civilian regime will always be seized by military coups, that's it.

Zia Hak continued to shake hands with the next person. The Minister of Defense who followed behind me cordially shook Mhamad's hand. The president's performance just now showed his attitude, and Murweif knew what to do.

"Please ask the President to go to the Military Region Command, where dinner is prepared for the President." Musha Af said. The President must have come to ask about the past of this air confrontation. Musha Af has prepared a report and returned to the headquarters to prepare lunch first and eat. Then report.

"It's here, have a meal with our soldiers." Zia Hak said: "No need to go back to the headquarters, it's a waste. Our Pakistan's economy is still far from that, and our government agencies must practice thrift."

Zia Hack's words and deeds reflect the behavior that a sober national decision-maker should do. Every soldier looked at him with respect and touch.

Zia Hack brought senior government officials to the pilot's restaurant.

In the Air Force, pilots are soldiers who fight directly, ground staff, base officers and soldiers, all rear personnel. At the same time, pilots, as the pride of heaven, have high requirements, so pilots are also specialized restaurants, and their daily meals are matched by nutrition experts.

After entering the pilot's restaurant, Zia Hack, like an ordinary pilot, held a stainless steel plate for self-service and served a few foods by himself. The senior officials of the Ministry of Defense behind followed suit.

Sitting in the seat, Zia Hack smiled and stopped the pilots around him from giving up their seats, and had a meal with them, while asking about their condition.

"Did you go up today's air battle?" Zia Hack said.

"We went up. We all went up except for two J-6, which were stuck in the house. Fortunately, we made preparations in advance and each aircraft was equipped with missiles. If we were preparing now, it would be too late." said a pilot.

Prepare in advance? Zia Hak continued to ask: "How do you know that the Soviet plane is coming?"

"The order from the Chief of Staff, when the Soviet fighter jets were shot down in the first air battle, in order to prevent the Soviets' revenge, the Chief of Staff ordered all fighter jets to be prepared, even if it was air training, they had to be hung with live ammunition. Sure enough, a few hours later, the Soviet planes came. We were training and arrived at the battlefield first. At that time, I heard the sound of Soviet missile locking in my headphones." The pilot said.

The Chief of Staff’s order? Hearing this, Zia Hak raised his head and responded to the lower part. The rest of the people also sat in the restaurant for dinner. Mhamad sat in a corner, but clearly heard the voice of the pilot, not only him, but everyone heard it.

He looked up again and happened to meet Zia Hakk's eyes. Zia Hakk nodded and expressed his affirmation to Mhamad. Helit, who was familiar with the president, knew that the president was very satisfied with this young man and would have a bright future in the army in the future.

After dinner, in the conference room of the air force base, Zia Hack listened to the air combat report of the squadron leader of the 15th Squadron. At this time, it was already dark outside.

"This air confrontation has brought about the majesty of our Pakistani Air Force." Zia Hak said: "In the past, the Soviets invaded our airspace several times, and we blindly gave in, making the Soviets proud. Now, they dare to use fighter jets to bomb our land. We must firmly defend our airspace and defeat the invading Soviet fighter jets!"

Zia Hak said, clenching his fists, forgetting at all that he was the one who made the decision to avoid overstimulating the Soviet Air Force. At that time, he was worried that the Soviets would go south, and even more worried that India would take the blame and invade together.

Now, the Soviet side's attitude has been tried, and they are also afraid of clashes with Pakistan. The resistance organizations within Afghanistan have already made the Soviets overwhelmed.

The Soviets cross-border bombing was limited to Afghan refugee camps and other places, which shows that the Soviets were also trying hard to control the scale of the war and prevent expansion.

"Our Peshawar Military Region will firmly complete the tasks assigned by the President," Mushaav said: "We will do our best to protect our sky."

"Are there any difficulties?" Zia Hack asked.

"No!" Musha Af answered firmly.

"Yes!" At this moment, a voice came from below.

Hearing this voice, Musha Af suddenly complained in his heart. He had already heard it, and it was Mhamad who was speaking.

This is not the time to raise difficulties at all, but the time to express one's opinion. The president must see his determination to firmly defend his territorial sovereignty. As for those difficulties, he can apply to the Cabinet Defense Committee after he comes down.

Now, in front of so many people, saying that there are difficulties is embarrassing everyone. Mhamad really won’t do anything! Musha Af couldn’t help but feel worried about him.

"So it's our Panjshir lion." Zia Hack said: "What's the difficulty?"

Zia Hack acted very patiently.

"The Soviet Air Force is equipped with air superiority fighters such as MiG-21 and MiG-23. Among them, the MiG-21 is a fighter with twice the speed of sound, and the MiG-23 is a variable sweep wing fighter that can also fire medium-range bombs. Our J-6 can only fight at close range. In today's confrontation, our pilots were at a disadvantage. If there is a fire exchange, we will be completely beaten at a distance of 30 kilometers." Mhamad stood up and said, with a loud voice.

"Mhamad, the Cabinet Defense Committee will carefully study the equipment matters. The F-16 fighter jets we ordered from the United States are about to return to China. At that time, we can consider changing the fighter jets at the Peshawar base." Defense Minister Murvev said: "However, our Pakistani Air Force has always defeated the strong with the weak. In the Third India-Pakistan War, our equipment was at a disadvantage and still showed its majesty. I believe that the Peshawar Military Region will not disappoint us."

Mulvev came to rescue the situation. If he said this, he could change it later. If it was said from the president, it would be difficult to change. He could hardly guess it with his brain. Mhamad made such a statement to win the most advanced F-16 fighter jets and good equipment for the Peshawar base. It is understandable that every base wants it.

"Yes, Chief of Staff, we will report to the Cabinet Defense Committee for this matter." Musha Af also said.

Zia Hak looked at Mhamad. At this time, this young man dared to stand up and make requests. He was indeed a general. He had his own style back then. The more he looked at him, the more he liked him.

If it is difficult for officials of the military chief of staff to talk directly with the president in normal times, Zia Hak came to inspect today, giving Mhamad a chance to stand out among the crowd.
