Chapter 267 Intervening in Angola
Under pressure from home and abroad, in the 1990s, the apartheid system in South Africa was abolished, and Declark was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize with Mandela for this.
Afterwards, in an election, the black people who accounted for the majority of the population naturally elected Mandela, the black people, as president, and the whites in South Africa, and since then they became a vulnerable group.
If blacks can stick to their previous rule and move forward step by step, then South Africa is still a developed country. However, it turns out that they have no ability to govern the country at all.
Under the rule of blacks, South Africa's economy is deteriorating, with a series of problems such as government deficits, unemployment, crime rates, talent loss, foreign investment reduction, and power shortages becoming more and more serious. The greatest contribution of these black presidents to South Africa is to de-whiteness. The national flag and national anthem are all changed, and cities, airports, and roads are replaced with black names. The efficient and powerful South African government has become corrupt and incompetent, and corruption is flooding every government authority department. The welfare and treatment of blacks are getting higher and higher, and the political and social status of blacks are getting higher and higher. Whites have become a vulnerable group, and their greatest wish is to work abroad. Johannesburg, the largest city in South Africa, was once the country's financial and economic center, but finally became a capital of murder. Like other African countries, with the unremitting efforts of blacks, they have retreated from developed countries to developing countries, and may eventually retire into poor countries.
In the same case, there is Zimbabwe, a country that was once ruled by whites. After the blacks made independence, they drove the whites out of the country. As a result, their economic conditions began to deteriorate and their currency began to depreciate. Zimbabwean coins became the largest denomination currency in the world. They didn't even have food, and they didn't farm the land they stolen from the whites.
These are not what Mhamad needs to consider. What Mhamad needs now is how to obtain more funds. The solution is to obtain them from the battle in Angola!
South Africa is still under white rule. At the same time, due to its production of gold and diamonds, South Africa's countries are also very strong, and they will not watch a pro-Soviet country eyeing its own side. The United States, even if it condemns South Africa's apartheid, must join South Africa in supporting UNITA's battle.
South Africa dispatched its troops, but the United States did not. After all, the United States was very afraid of the second Vietnam battlefield. Now, the situation is not very beneficial to South Africa, and the sky is still owned by Cubans. The Cubans drove fighter jets transported by the Soviet Union and completely seized air supremacy.
Pakistan simply sends a mercenary to earn some extra money!
"Come to me the American ambassador." Thinking of this, Mhamad picked up the phone and said to the assistant outside.
Soon, American Ambassador Arnold Raphael arrived, and after Lorde died, he took over as the US ambassador to Pakistan.
In recent months, Pakistan has smoothly passed the period of power transfer, which is what the United States is most willing to see. They also believe that iron-blooded figures from the army can lead Pakistan and Afghanistan and beat the Soviets to the point of urination.
"Mr. President, it's great to see you," said Arnold.
"I'm very happy, too." Mhamad said: "The Soviets have not made much noise in recent months. Our Afghan regime has gone through the initial period and has also gained support from the Western world. We use iron facts to tell the Soviets that their attempts to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries are doomed to fail!"
"Yes, the Soviets tried to insert the red flag into every part of the world, and they were doomed to fail!" Arnold said, feeling a little strange. What did Mhamad want to do when he said this?
Sure enough, Mhamad continued: "However, in other places, the world is still not peaceful. For example, in Africa, the Soviets supported the Angolan fortune and had occupied most of the places in Angola. There were also Cubans who sent troops directly to Angola, which was simply too much!"
"Yes, that's it!" Arnold followed suit. Americans hated Cuba. This country at the doorstep of the United States always held a red flag. Moreover, the only military operation carried out by the United States against Cuba was failed, which shamed the US military. Cuba actually allowed the Soviets to deploy ballistic missiles, which made the Americans even more indignant.
To the United States, Cuba is even more a rogue country.
"We, the United States, have wanted to send troops directly several times, but due to the world situation, if we send troops, it will make the situation there even more complicated." Arnold said.
"I have a suggestion," said Mhamad. "You provide the fighter planes, we provide the pilots, and in the sky of Angola, how do you think?"
The United States provides fighter jets? The United States has long prepared military assistance to UNITA. In fact, the weapons of those infantry have been secretly supporting them, but they are not afraid to use large-scale weapons.
After all, the United States and the Soviet Union are two major countries. Now is the most intense time of the Cold War. If a fire breaks out and a nuclear war is triggered, it will be troublesome.
And if it is done by a third country, it would be different.
"What do you need?" Arnold said, knowing that when the plan is reported to the president, the president should agree.
"A squadron's Tomcat fighter, a squadron's A-7 attack aircraft, enough ammunition and spare parts. As long as we have these, we can beat the Soviet planes all over the ground," said Mhamad.
It would be great if Mhamad could mobilize his pilots over. The fighter planes must not be released and must be provided by the Americans.
"However, the fighter jets we do not have sealed now will take time to allocate from the production line," said Arnold.
"This is very simple. Just fly the aircraft on the aircraft carrier directly to the South African Air Force Base." Mhamad said.
The fighter plane on the aircraft carrier? Arnold shook his head: "No, how can this be done?"
The equipment of fighter jets on aircraft carriers is arranged in proportion. If these aircraft are allocated to South Africa, the US aircraft carrier will become a toothless tiger.
"In order to help UNITA, we have to pay a price. Our soldiers pay their blood and life. You only pay the opportunity to fight. If you cannot even agree to this request, we will have to give up our arrangements." Mhamad said.
"Only air assistance is not enough to reverse the decline," Arnold said. "If Pakistan's elite army could be deployed, it would be best. South African army is really ineffective."
Army? Mhamad shook his head: "We are still guarding against Indian attacks. The army cannot be dispatched. At most, it will only be able to even out a battalion."
"One camp is OK," said Arnold.
"We need a battalion equipment." Mhamad smiled on his face: "It's better to be an m1 tank."
M1 tank! Now, South Africa uses self-developed horn tanks, which are improved on the basis of the captain of the 100 people. It will have an overwhelming advantage over the t55 tanks equipped by the Cubans.
Of course, Mhamad requires the equipment of this kind of tank, and another purpose is to thoroughly understand the performance of this tank. In the future, one day, when it may become an enemy, you can find the weaknesses of these tanks.
"That's the best tank in our America," Arnold said.
"Yes, is it that your side will provide backward armored combat vehicles so that our soldiers can be slaughtered on the battlefield in Angola?" Mhamad said: "We are going to carry out this plan entirely to curb the Soviets. Is your support for UNITA just verbally?"
"Of course not." Arnold said: "It's just that this plan was beyond our expectations. We need to ask the president before we can decide."
"I'm waiting for your reply." Mhamad smiled and sent away the new American ambassador. This guy was much easier to deal with than the previous Lord.
Mhamad is well aware of the history of later generations. When the apartheid policy in South Africa ended, a large number of military workers could not stay there. They left South Africa and went all over the world.
Now, Mhamad reached out to Angola, of course, not just to make some money, but to gain good relations with South Africa. Later, when South Africa's apartheid policy was over, all the researchers could be brought back to Pakistan, so that Pakistan's military research could take another step forward.
The horn tank is of great help to Pakistani Copyright Leopard 2. The kestral armed helicopter is a special armed helicopter! The g6 self-propelled howitzer, which is one of the few self-propelled howitzers in the world that use wheeled chassis! A-3 ballistic missiles, a third-class ballistic missile jointly developed by South Africa and Israel, and a heavy carving fighter...
After these developers ran away, China also took away a large number of people. Mhamad planned to bring all of these people to Pakistan. Now, this is the first time that the two sides have contacted each other.
This matter cannot be urgent. It must be supported by the United States. After all, the United States provides equipment and South Africa provides money, and its own side is a real mercenary.
No one dares to underestimate the level of Pakistan's mercenaries. After all, the Pakistan Air Force is able to resist a powerful force of the Soviet Air Force.
This was arranged in advance, and for Mhamad, while waiting for the Americans to answer, the next thing for Mhamad is to go to the wealthy neighbors around him, and the first destination is Saudi Arabia. (To be continued)
