If a country wants to increase its influence, it is not advisable to occupy other countries to expand its land area if it wants to increase its influence quickly. The only thing that can increase its influence quickly is to improve its economic strength, scientific and technological strength, etc....

The land area cannot be increased. Let’s have culture. Egypt has thousands of years of history and culture have unique advantages in the entire Arab world and Africa. What is the strength of science and technology?

Relatively speaking, Egypt is pretty good in the entire Arab world. The population accounts for nearly 1/4 of the entire Arab world. But their economy is not good, so they have to buy their own equipment and other things. The resources are not comparable to Saudi Arabia and other countries...

The only thing that can accelerate development is to develop industry and achieve industrialization.

Americans only hope that Egypt will become their market. Even if they relax their weapons and equipment exports to Egypt, because of the relationship between Israel and the United States, the fighter jets they provide to Arab countries, even the same type, will be more than half a generation behind; tank armor is not as thick as those provided to Israel by the United States, and the attack firepower is worse...

In the five consecutive Middle East wars, the powerful Arab coalition became more and more abolished as it fought, while Israel became stronger and stronger, and its land area expanded a lot.

Everything was lost in every war.

Why lose?

The equipment provided by Americans to Israel is more advanced.

"In such a situation, why don't we believe in the Chinese, cooperate with them and develop together? Look at Pakistan, which first developed with the Chinese, has even been inferior to ours. In recent years, both weapons manufacturing technology and ordinary machinery industry have been developing rapidly..." No one can refute what Aryaf said.

In addition to the population, when Egypt was the leader of the Arab world before, Pakistan was not as good as Egypt in other aspects except for the larger population.

Nasser, the second president in Egypt, was called the Communist Lord by the entire Arab world.

It is obvious that his strength is strong.

However, Egypt has just returned to the Arab League last month. You know, Egypt has been expelled from the Arab League for ten years because it was finally imposed political and economic sanctions by the entire Arab world.

Since then, Egypt has declined.

If the Persians had not fought with the Iraqis, the rich Saudi Arabia would have been worried that they would not be able to fight the Persians and the domestic army would not have good combat effectiveness. They hired many mercenaries from Egypt to help them defend, and Egypt would have a harder life.

"Returning to the Arab League, the entire Arab world will be our market. What we need is manufacturing power. For this reason, I think we can send a negotiation team to China to negotiate technical cooperation..." Seeing that no one objected, the president looked around and said.

I haven't been to China for several years.

Go to China to learn some experience in reform and opening up, and then invest in and aid from China.

Compared with the United States, Soviet Union, or even Britain and France, China is very poor; it is still much stronger than Egypt.

"Your Excellency, China has been attracting investment all over the world, and they are short of investment..." Ariyaf reminded the president.

The President does not understand the Chinese.

China, which once tightened its belt and had to help the third world brother countries in Africa, had to help without eating or drinking, was lured by the colorful US dollar bills during the reform and opening up process and was degenerated by the colorful US dollar bills, and there was no free aid anymore.

"Your Excellency, it is very difficult to talk to the Chinese government. When Tanzania went to China to invest, there was no result." Muhanard also felt that the president's idea was too naive.

Now expect China's assistance to provide various technologies for free?

There is no possibility.

Look at the bastards in Hongqi Group, they all seemed to be in a dilemma and wanted money.

Mubarak was a little disbelief, "Isn't their cooperation with Burundi and Tanzania very good?"

"His Excellency the President, that was not an investment from the Chinese government, but a company led by their company. Tanzania has no money, owed equipment from China and used various resources to mortgage it... And what we want to cooperate with China is not a resource, but manufacturing..." Muhanard reminded the president. "In addition, Argentina has also proposed such a cooperation method. They are preparing to purchase two light aircraft carriers and other equipment from China and mortgage it with mines, and the Chinese have refused..."

Muhanard still hears about Argentina in China from the Pakistani population.

"Then how do we cooperate with them?" asked the Minister of Industry.

After finally seeing an opportunity, they were all moved, but they told them that they were unwilling.

"We can only provide funds ourselves and China provides technology. Otherwise, it will be difficult to obtain their consent." Muhanard's tone was full of helplessness. "The best way is to expand some equipment procurement and other cooperation as additional technical cooperation contracts."

It is not easy to take advantage of the Chinese people, but it is not easy for the Chinese to get any benefits.

That night, the discussion at the Presidential Palace continued until one o'clock in the morning.

After the discussion, Muhanard, the Minister of War and Products, took their Minister of Industry, toward Luxor again.

The Chinese exhibition team stayed in Egypt for three days. These three days will not provide any flight performances, but will use Egyptian equipment to provide detailed and comprehensive inspections of the fighter jets.

The Super-7a flew for hundreds of hours. It was originally the first batch of small-scale products and also undertakes many experimental tasks. Even the daily flight was not just ordinary training like ordinary fighter jets. It was almost every day full of large maneuvering actions that were strict with performance.

Just so happens that there is a production line in Egypt.

Each assembled fighter must undergo test flights and will only be delivered to the Air Force for use when it is confirmed that there is no problem.

The testing equipment, etc. are all in one go.

"Their fighter aircraft assembly line is not next to the tank factory in the suburbs of Cairo?" Xie Kai was a little puzzled, as if the Super-7 had not gone there at all.

"Who told you? These guys, the real assembly line is here, do you see the building on the other side of the airport?" Ge Minglang pointed to the other side of the airport and looked like an area of ​​the warehouse.

Xie Kai looked over with a puzzled look on his face.

Apart from the lights revealed inside, nothing was found.

Luxor was not a big city in Egypt. Although it was once an ancient capital, it had abundant tourism resources and did not have very good industrial conditions.

"This is the real Super-7 production line. I don't know what the Egyptians thought. The original factory was here, but later I felt it was not good, so I built the factory there..." Bai Yanjun explained to Xie Kai.

Anyway, I can't see that there is a fighter jet manufacturing factory here. If no one says it, I will only think it is an airport warehouse.

Xie Kai got in the car and found that inside and outside were completely different.

"This is learning about our factory construction... It's too close to Israel to the north, and borders Libya to the west..." Bai Yanjun said with a smile.

Before, this was the Egyptian fighter repair center.

Luxor is located between the two major deserts in the east and west of Egypt. From a military perspective, it is indeed relatively secret, and it is in the hinterland of Egypt.

"Where did the production line outside Cairo come from?" Xie Kai was puzzled.

“We also provide it.”

"It seems that the Egyptians' plot is really not small." Xie Kai sighed.

In the workshop, there is no difference from the domestic fighter assembly line. Even a large number of Arab slogans and documents are rarely seen in factories in suburban Cairo.

There are more eastern holes in the workshop.

"Director Bai, why are you here so late?" A fat middle-aged man in his forties, wearing glasses and sweating, hurriedly ran over when he saw several people coming.

Although the living conditions in China have improved over the years and the number of fat people has increased, it is still rare to see such fat people.

When this guy ran, his flesh was trembling.

"This is the person in charge here, Comrade Ren Zhiyuan." Bai Yanjun introduced when he saw Xie Kai beat the fat man.

Xie Kai suddenly widened his eyes, "Is this Ren Gong?"

It’s not that he didn’t know Ren Zhiyuan, he was a skinny guy who gave people the feeling that the wind could blow away. At this moment, his body size was at least as big as the original two!

Ren Zhiyuan nodded with a wry smile, "Yes, when you get here, you will get fat... This place is so hot that it's so hot, full of fat, and even more afraid of heat!"

"The Egyptians are very well treated by technicians from China. Their food is high in calories, they exercise less often, and they sweat as soon as they move... Many technicians from China have gained weight..." Seeing that Xie Kai was a little disbelief, Ren Zhiyuan explained again. "The Egyptians are now just like when we learned technology from the Soviet Union..."

When China was learning technology from the Soviet Union, the Soviet technicians were in China, but they were serving all kinds of delicious food and drinks. Whatever they had, the Chinese students rushed to do, and the teacher guided them.

Now Ren Zhiyuan told Xie Kai that the Egyptians treated Chinese technicians like this.

"These guys' plans are really pretty good."

"No matter what his plan is, they have given the money anyway. Since we agree to sell the technology, we have to follow the contract, right? We can end it early, and we can transfer the technicians back early." Bai Yanjun didn't care.

There is a shortage of people in China, especially experienced technicians.

If a fighter aircraft assembly factory is built in Pakistan and Argentina, more technicians will be needed.

It is not enough to send out some ordinary technicians, and they must have many technical backbones, otherwise it will take a long time.

"Indeed, as long as we can provide us with more market orders and more profits, it is not a problem." Xie Kai nodded.
Chapter completed!
