Even Mhamad did not expect it to be so smooth. When the people from Klaus company came to him again, Mhamad originally planned to go to the next stop and the negotiations began again. This time, Prime Minister Cole did not come forward, he was completely from Klaus company. ←,

"In order to show our sincerity, we decided to sell the production line of the 1500 horsepower engine to you, and the body can also be welded on you. As for other aspects, including fire control, suspension, gun barrels, and other things, you need to import them from our company." Luoyit said, this was the final result, and no bargaining is allowed. If it fails, Luoyit can only express regret.

1500 horsepower engine! At least it can be considered a useful thing. Germany's machinery is very developed, especially this engine, which is really good! It has low fuel consumption and high power, which is very suitable for advanced Pakistani tanks.

"Okay, we can accept it," Mhamad said. "Let's talk about the specific details."

The negotiations took several hours and finally agreed that Pakistan purchased 200 Leopard 2 vehicles in advance, all of which belonged to the second batch and had been equipped with infrared imaging devices. At the same time, Klaus-Mafi will improve Pakistan's tank overhaul plant so that this overhaul plant has the ability to produce 1,500 horsepower engines. At the same time, it is also necessary to ensure that Pakistan can independently produce all parts of the engine, and the special alloys required also need to be provided by Klaus, so that Pakistan can produce blanks by itself.

The last three hundred tanks were produced in this way, including ammunition, with a total contract amount of 700 million marks.

At the same time, Pakistan needs to provide bra composite armor with bulletproof capabilities equivalent to 500 mm homogeneous armor, and provide technical information on this composite armor.

The negotiations were completed. Raut was very happy and said to Mhamad: "General Mhamad, our Mercedes-Benz Motor Company has many products. I believe you must be very interested, including the ng80 military vehicles and Umonica off-road vehicles. You will also be very interested. Where our Leopard 2 can go, Umonica off-road vehicles can go."

Everyone makes money together. Although Pakistan is very poor, they have the vision to buy things from the outside world and choose first-class things, Pakistan's army. In addition to the need for armor, these off-road vehicles and military trucks must also have a lot of needs. Moreover, if a factory is built, Mercedes-Benz will make a lot of money, and Raut took the initiative to propose it.

Mercedes-Benz? In fact, Mhamad's main goal is to cheap Steyr heavy trucks, and Mercedes-Benz has advanced technology. However, it is too expensive and not suitable for large amounts of equipment, and it is even less suitable for civilian production.

The best one meets the national conditions.

However, it is difficult to let go of the kindness. Since there is Raut's recommendation, I'd rather go to Mercedes-Benz to check it out by myself.

At this time, it was already noon, after dinner, I headed straight to Stuttgart, a city in southern Germany.

Daimler-Benz Automobile Company. It was formerly the Mercedes-Benz Automobile Factory and the Daimler Automobile Factory established in 1886. The founders were Carl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler. In 1926, after the two factories merged, they became a current multinational company.

In addition to the world-class quality in the field of passenger cars, in the field of commercial vehicles, they have invested billions of marks and successfully developed the ng-80 series heavy trucks, advanced transformed beams, good matching of engines and transmission systems, and continuous improvement in processing quality, which has given this vehicle good performance.

Umonica is an off-road vehicle with a ground clearance of up to half a meter on the gate axle. The performance of this vehicle is comparable to that of a tank, and its service life can exceed fifty years. Even if it is fifty years later, the off-road performance of this off-road vehicle is still no more than other vehicles.

Mercedes-Benz Automobile Company's R&D capabilities are evident.

Mercedes-Benz Motor Company warmly welcomed the arrival of the Pakistani delegation. Company President Hubert personally paid tribute to the visiting Pakistani personnel at the door of the company.

Welcoming the company's reception room, Mercedes-Benz played a video, and the ng-80 heavy truck inside was running quickly in the mountains, especially when passing through a narrow road, the driver reached out and folded the reflector back. The speed did not decrease at all. After passing, he broke the reflector out.

"This is the advanced heavy truck developed by our company in more than ten years." Hubert said: "The land of Pakistan is mainly used in donkey carts. With the advancement of the times, you need a truck to serve the national economy. In the army, this demand is even more urgent. For example, if there is a large number of military trucks in your infantry division, then once there is war on the border, the army can quickly move over."

Mhamad nodded: "Yes, this heavy truck has very advanced performance."

"So, are you interested in purchasing our heavy truck?" Hubert asked.

"Interested." Mhamad said solemnly: "But we have no money."

Hubert felt that a mouthful of blood was about to be spit out. He had no money, so he said nothing.

Ordinary leaders are very good-looking and have no money in the country, so this kind of thing cannot be easily said. However, this person in power from the lower-level army is very real and just said it directly.

"If you are willing to use the National Bank and Commercial Bank to lend us a loan to us and ask us to buy 500 complete vehicles and a complete set of process technology, we can consider it." Mhamad said: "The battlefield is the most qualified standard for testing your military vehicles. We can deploy these military vehicles in the Kashmir Valley on the frontline, and also test the performance of your Umonica off-road vehicles in the mountains of Afghanistan. This is equivalent to advertising to you."

This is simply a waste of money. It is said that this general is good at this. Hubert didn't believe it before, but now he really believes it. Pakistan's national strength is limited, and so many advanced fighter jets are said to be bought with loans, and they have a lot of foreign debts. At that time, how can they repay the loan? Maybe in a few years, it will be left alone.

This is absolutely not possible!

"Sorry, if this is the case, our cooperation will really not be able to go through." Hubert said.

"Yes, it's a pity that we can only choose a heavy truck that is economical and willing to lend us. We have evaluated that the army needs about 2,000 vehicles, and the civilian market. With the prosperity of the mining industry, there is at least 100,000 vehicles." Mhamad stood up, reached out to the opposite side, and held Hubert's hand: "I hope there is a chance, we can cooperate next time."

The demand for 100,000 vehicles is definitely a big market! In fact, they have already evaluated that one of the important reasons why Pakistan supports Afghanistan so much is that it is attracted to Afghan minerals. It is said that after the Afghan Liberal Party established a government, they immediately signed a mining agreement, and many Afghans began to dig minerals in the mountains.

However, Mercedes-Benz felt that doing this business was a bit too unrestrained and did not fully comply with the company's regulations.

So, I could only watch Mhamad and others leave Mercedes-Benz, shook hands with them friendly, got in the car, and headed straight to the airport.

"Mercedes-Benz trucks have advanced technology. If we can achieve domestic production, it will not only be used in our civilian market. After simple improvements, we can transform wheeled infantry fighting vehicles." On the plane, the deputy team leader in charge of this procurement and Pakistan's Army Logistics Minister Torik said.

Torik was a little puzzled. He was Zia Hak's confidant. When Zia Hak was on the front line of the India-Pakistan conflict, Torik was Zia Hak's guard.

This time, Zia Hack gave them a very large budget. This is a package of introduction agreements. It is also completely possible to take out part of it from the middle and introduce Mercedes-Benz trucks. There is no need to force the Germans to borrow money like this, and they will not lose a penny.

"Yes, but our funds are limited." Mhamad said: "We still have a lot of things to be introduced. All kinds of places need money. Negotiations with Mercedes-Benz are not necessary. Moreover, I believe that they will not give up a huge market like ours and will definitely negotiate with us again. At that time, the initiative is in our hands."

"What if they don't come then?" said Torik. "If we can achieve the independent production of a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle, we can completely mechanize our army. Our military expenditure cannot support a large number of tanks. Wheeled infantry fighting vehicle is a good alternative."

"Press the Germans first, and finally, we can negotiate later." Mhamad said: "Whoever is anxious will take the initiative, especially after we negotiate with the Austrian company, the Germans will definitely come to us."

Mhamad has a lot to buy, especially Austria. At the same time, the Steyr project is an important project for Pakistan's industrial development and drives other related industrial growth.

Although Austria is a small country with a high degree of industrialization, in addition to Steyr, there is also the patented 155mm 45-caliber g-45 artillery that Mhamad values ​​the most.
