Gong Shuangqin and Qin Wentong knew that Ali went to the East Sichuan manufacturer to discuss the cooperation of Type 037 ships, but they did not know that Meng Jianye had inspected the Pakistani submarine force in exchange.

Because of this, when the two of them listened to Meng Jianye's words, they both looked shocked.

It is important to know that the Chinese side has long wanted to communicate with Pakistan's submarine force, not only because the equipment of Pakistan's submarine force is more advanced than China's, but more importantly, Pakistan's submarine force is a rare elite force with actual combat experience in the world today.

Because in the third Indo-Pakistani war, the French-powered "Guishushen"-class submarine "Hanguoer" was equipped with the sinking of an Indian missile frigate in the Indian Ocean, and then successfully escaped the encirclement of the Indian Navy and returned home safely, becoming the most legendary submarine combat example after World War II.

By this measure, even superpowers such as the United States and the Soviet Union do not have the unique advantage of Pakistan's submarine forces.

From the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China to the coastal defense strategy during the period of reform and opening up, submarines are the pillar force of the Chinese Navy.

Because of this, learning from foreign military units with actual combat experience has always been a dream expectation of the navy.

However, the attitude of the Pakistan Navy towards the Chinese Navy's ardent expectations is very ambiguous, which does not mean that Pakistan's relations with China are not good, and it is guarding against China.

However, the international environment in which Pakistan finds itself today is somewhat unique, so there are some sensitive issues that have to be avoided.

After all, at the juncture of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Pakistan, as an important channel for assisting Afghan resistance groups, received support and assistance from the United States, Saudi Arabia and other foreign powers.

After all, China can give dry goods, and the United States and Saudi Arabia also have a lot of dollars, in this case, Pakistan simply does not offend both sides, just maintain normal exchanges, and we will not involve sensitive things.

Because of this, the matter of the Chinese Navy's exchange of submarine forces has never taken shape.

Thinking about what the navy has not done for so many years, Meng Jianye said that he wanted to arrange someone to go to Pakistan for an investigation, and he also wanted to inspect Pakistan's most advanced Agosta-70 submarine.

Gong Shuangqin and Qin Wentong are both old foxes, and they still don't understand what the so-called "investigation" means, so Qin Tongwen immediately asked, "What is the nature of your investigation?"

"It's a technical exchange between companies. ”

Meng Jianye was also a little confused, he didn't know how the two old men reacted more than the supply ship, but he didn't hide it, and he told him and Ali about the submarine investigation in detail.

In the end, I didn't forget to give the bottom line: "Didn't Egypt sign a contract with the East Sichuan Plant for submarine upgrading, the new domestic technology is really lackluster, even if we are fooled, we have to have a name for fooling, so I thought about going to Pakistan to learn the advanced experience of French submarines, and come back to paint a scoop for Egypt's 033 submarine, and even if our 100 million dollar upgrade fee was not in vain." ”

"Oh, you Meng Jianye, why are your eyes fixed on money? ”

As soon as he heard Meng Jianye say this, Gong Shuangqin's old face turned red, and he stomped his feet with a bang, and Qin Wentong on the side also said eagerly: "Xiao Meng, don't call anyone else, immediately pack up your things and go to the capital with us, this matter can't be delayed." ”

Gong Shuangqin also reacted when he heard this: "Indeed, there is no need to pack up things, the Beijing Navy Guest House has everything, leave now." ”

Before Meng Jianye could figure out what was going on, he was stuffed into the car by the arms of the two old men, and an hour later he was stuffed into the military plane to the capital in the same posture.

However, at this moment, Meng Jianye can be regarded as accepting his fate, and he can't do it if he doesn't accept his fate, his inspection of Pakistani submarines is mainly to make money, at most it is just a small step to improve China's submarine technology.

Na Cheng thought that in addition to technology, the navy also needed other people's combat experience, which made Meng Jianye think about it.

However, when he arrived in the capital, he didn't expect one thing after another, but most of them had nothing to do with him, because the "investigation" of the Pakistani submarine force had been completely taken over by the navy.

Previously, the Navy proposed to Pakistan the issue of "investigating" submarines, but because of Pakistan's ambiguous attitude, many people felt that the United States and other foreign countries might be behind the bad work and undermine the traditional friendship between China and Pakistan.

However, the success of Meng Jianye made the navy suddenly discover that it was not that there was anything wrong with Sino-Pakistani relations, but that the actual benefits were not in place.

Yes, the previous navy only held the banner of China-Pakistan friendship and stood on the moral high ground to make extremely formal requests, but everyone knew that no matter how good the relationship between countries was, it also needed to exchange interests, otherwise how could it be willing to follow you behind your ass.

Therefore, this time, the Navy followed Meng Jianye's idea to give the Pakistani side an expanded and upgraded version, not only the Type 037 ships can cooperate, but we will not cover up the matter of the submarine production line, and sell it directly to you, not to mention, and even you don't need to pay the money, but to fund you in the form of low-interest loans, and then slowly repay it in the form of port transit, agricultural products and other compensation trade.

Ali was already excited about Meng Jianye's hint, but now that he received an official reply, he was even more ecstatic and immediately informed China of the situation, so that the high-level Pakistani military delegation, which was supposed to leave a week later, set off early.

The two sides discussed for three days at a hotel on the outskirts of Beijing, and finally decided on a series of naval cooperation agreements worth more than $500 million, including the construction of a 20,000-ton supply ship, cooperation on Type 037 ships, and the transfer of submarine production lines.

At the same time, the Pakistani side agreed to China's request to go to Pakistan to inspect submarines in the name of Endeavor Shipbuilding Joint Stock Company in the name of building a submarine production line.

The reason why this is the case is also because Pakistan wants to take care of the attitude of the United States and other foreign powers, we are purely commercial cooperation, and do not mix other intentions.

What? Don't sell it? Then don't force it, otherwise don't use us Pakistan to trap the Soviets in Afghanistan.

The United States and other foreign powers knew that this was not the case, but they had to turn a blind eye, and even India, which was so angry, was pressed down by those extraterritorial powers.

In this way, after some pretentiousness in Pakistan, the naval cooperation between China and Pakistan began in such a way as selling dog meat on the head of a sheep.
