Chapter 215 Finally rich
"The value of this wealth is incalculable!" Seeing these things shipped to Islamabad, Zia Hak's eyes were already straight.
These days, Zia Hak is full of expectations every day. Now, when all these wealth is in front of him, he is still surprised. He thinks of the huge amount, but, to such a large extent, the treasury of Pakistan is too shabby.
"Mr. President, we fulfilled our mission and finally completed the task." Mhamad said: "Many of this wealth has collection value. You can get better prices through auctions, but we cannot display it to the public for the time being. What we can use now is this gold."
The amount of gold is very large, counted in hundreds of tons. In the future, when it is settled externally, it is enough to use a hard currency like gold, which is what all countries are willing to ask for.
"Yes, the rest, first seal it up to the national treasury, Mhamad, you have made great contributions this time," said Zia Hak.
"Mr. President, our task is still very heavy. We have to negotiate with all parties, especially Western Europe, to introduce their industries and establish a government in Afghanistan. We can't delay any longer. By the way, have you put forward our ideas to the United States?"
"It has been proposed, Americans are considering it." Zia Hack said.
Although the incident in Afghanistan at this time, now, it must be strongly supported by the United States to continue to be implemented. Otherwise, with Pakistan's military strength, it will really annoy the Soviets and the consequences will be very unoptimistic.
Mhamad nodded: "I believe that the Americans will agree. After they agree, we can apply for some good things."
It is not enough to completely control the airspace in the mountainous areas of northern Afghanistan. Whether the Americans want to or not, they have to use the e-3 early warning aircraft, and even if they are rented, they have to send them to Pakistan. There are also electronic jammers, and only one is not enough, at least four. After all, they are now snatching meat from the mouths of the Soviets.
"Yes, Mhamad, the Americans will definitely agree. Now we need to make efforts to introduce industry. We need someone to go to Western Europe and start a series of negotiations." Zia Hak said: "This task is also very difficult."
The basic industries of Eastern countries are relatively sound. Metallurgy, chemical industry, and mechanical manufacturing are all very comprehensive. In the late 1970s, with the continued development of China-Pakistan friendship, Eastern countries helped Pakistan establish heavy machinery factories, heavy electric factories, Taksirah heavy industrial factory, Pakistan Aviation Industry Comprehensive Factory, Pakistan Engineering Company, Karachi Shipyard, Pakistan Machine Tool Factory, Pakistan Arsenal, Pakistan Steel Factory and other series of factories. The aid of these factories has brought Pakistan into the ranks of industrialized countries, but Eastern countries are not good at high technology, and Western Europe has advantages in high technology.
"Yes, in addition to introducing basic industries, we should also introduce advanced technology. Mr. President, I think. We should introduce a heavy truck production line and introduce more nuclear power plants."
With metallurgy and chemical industries, heavy trucks can be produced. The automobile industry is a country's basic industry. Only by producing qualified cars can the success of industrialization be proved. Of course, Mhamad wants to introduce aircraft production lines, but unfortunately, Western countries will not export these production lines, and China is still relatively backward in this regard.
In the process of industrial development in Pakistan, it will face the problem of energy shortage. The introduction of nuclear power plants can alleviate the power shortage. Now, Pakistan already owns a 137mwe Canadian pressurized water reactor, which was operated under international safety supervision in 1971. However, the fuel of this nuclear reactor was purchased. When Pakistan has more nuclear power plants, it needs to produce enough nuclear fuel by itself. Pakistan is not a contracted country of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and can be free from supervision by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
"Yes, this matter is very important," said Nur Khan. "Mhamad, I think you are the best representative of the negotiations this time."
Mhamad was stunned and went there by himself?
………
The White House, the United States.
"This is a good move." Reagan said to the person in front of him with a cigar in his mouth. "I'm just wondering, how can Pakistan have the courage to do this?"
Supporting Afghanistan, establishing a government, and also being responsible for protecting the security of Afghan airspace, will make the Soviets' lungs irritate. This is the situation that the United States is most willing to see.
"They don't have the courage, so they need our support." Vice President Bush said: "They informed us that only when we support them can they dare to do this. And what we need is not just verbal support."
Pakistanis also seem to be starting to get slicker, and when the United States promises, they will definitely start asking for all kinds of things, which is almost unquestionable.
"Even so, it's good for us," Reagan said. "Afghanistan should have established a new regime long ago. As long as they dare to establish it, our entire Western world will fully support it."
Looking at the president's attitude, Bush did not continue to speak. He knew that the president's determination had been made, but Bush had a strong premonition that the Afghan Free Army was becoming increasingly powerful, and it would faintly become a united country. Is such a powerful force really in the interests of the United States?
The people there have always been rebellious.
"Notify our ambassador and we will support it with all our strength," Reagan said.
When the US ambassador met with President Zia Hak again, he saw Lieutenant General Mhamad who had not appeared on the side for a long time and felt a sudden slap in his heart. With this guy here, it means that Pakistan really wanted to take this opportunity to rob him again. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "General Mhamad, I'm very happy to see you."
“I’m very happy too,” Mhamad said. “Are our American friends, support our new plan?”
"We in the United States have full support," Lord said: "The people of Afghanistan are finally going to build their own country, and our Western support has not been in vain."
"But we will face suppression from the Soviets," Mhamad said. "Especially the Soviet air force will increase the pressure on our air force, so we hope to obtain e-3 early warning aircraft and three ec-130h electronic jammers."
Mhamad said it very directly.
"Sorry, the e-3 early warning aircraft is our strategic early warning aircraft and can only be sold to NATO allies. Your country cannot reach it for the time being. Haven't we already leased two additional e-2 early warning aircraft to your country?" Lord said. Before coming, Lord guessed about the early warning aircraft. Pakistan was simply persevering in this regard.
"But now it's different. The continuous mountainous areas in northern Afghanistan are our defense zones." Mhamad said: "The detection distance of the e-2 early warning aircraft is not far enough, so we must fly over northern Afghanistan to monitor all air situations. When the Soviets launch an attack, it is likely that our early warning aircraft will be shot down first. Anyway, these two planes were loaned to us, and the operators above are your naval personnel. If they are shot down, the losses will not be ours."
Mhamad said it very directly. Although Pakistan prepared air police personnel, these two e-2 early warning aircraft flying directly from the US aircraft carrier were completely operated by them because they contained U.S. Navy secrets.
Mhamad's attitude is very simple. If he does not support him now, he will be shot down by then and all the Americans will die.
The flesh on Lord's face trembled, so vicious!
"I will report this to the president. If the president agrees, it will be a rental method at most." Lord said. The United States will never sell the e-3 early warning aircraft to Pakistan.
"As for electronic jammers, we can consider exporting. I wonder if you have enough funds?" Lord asked Zia Hack.
The United States has too much military aid, and no matter how free support is, the United States can't stand it. Now that Pakistan supports Afghanistan's establishment of a government, the United States is ready to provide Pakistan with some missiles for free, which is already the greatest support.
"For the cause of Afghanistan, our Pakistani government will fully support it. Although our foreign exchange reserves are quite small and the economy is not developed, we have no choice but to do our Afghan compatriots." Zia Hak said: "Our government has decided to use our gold reserves and buy them directly from you with gold."
Use gold reserves? A country's gold reserves are the most important, which directly determines a country's economy. When a financial crisis comes, gold reserves can calm prices and stabilize the economy. Unexpectedly, Pakistan is really fighting for Afghanistan, and even gold reserves can be used.
Zia Hack looked at the surprised expression on Lord's face and felt very proud. Gold reserves! As the president of a poor country, he is worried about money every day. Now, he can finally not worry! Those gold bars piled up are Pakistan's solid backing!
"Since that's the case, we can export." Lord agreed immediately.
"Mr. Lord, now, a free and democratic Afghanistan is finally set up," Mhamad said. "Are we going to make some civil contributions to Afghanistan together?"
Lord nodded and watched Mhamad take out a good document: "This is a preliminarily formulated by the Afghan People's Government to need support. Please support your country."
Lord looked at the thing and became more vigilant. He took it and saw the first page, which was written that Afghanistan needs to develop its economy and mine ore. Below are some mining equipment... Although the unit price is not high, the quantity is too large. This adds up to a considerable investment. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
