Chapter 557: Extraordinary Means
Lu Jiadong really does not know what to do, Pakistan's rapidly changing domestic political situation has not only far exceeded his worst plan, but the most important thing is that Lu Jiadong is unable to do anything to stop it, because the current Pakistani government has not regressed in its relations with China, but is gradually strengthening.
In particular, in the past six months, the new Pakistani government has opened up a number of secret channels to China for the acquisition and transshipment of special precision machinery and parts that China urgently needs, and the new government has also provided China with copies of the technical data of the F-16A fighter planes that have just been imported from the United States.
As a result, the new tank project, which was suspended due to factional struggles within Pakistan, is very insignificant among many important cooperation projects between China and Pakistan, so the Chinese high-level and military will not be too entangled with Pakistan on this issue, after all, those sophisticated equipment that promotes the development of the national economy, as well as advanced aviation aircraft, play a greater role in the future of a country.
For this point, Lu Jiadong knows better than anyone that to be honest, if he were from the perspective of a decision-maker, he would definitely adopt a posture of seeking common ground while reserving differences, and deepen cooperation with Pakistan in areas that the country needs more.
Lu Jiadong is not a decision-maker, but the head of a large military-industrial production complex, carrying on his shoulders several important projects that need to be replenished by funds. Behind him stood nearly 10,000 workers who dragged their families and needed to eat, perhaps after the termination of the China-PNG tank project,
Because of financial problems. The state will allocate special funds to maintain the existing situation of the Wanshan military industrial production complex, so that the projects will not be suspended and the workers will go hungry, but in this way, in the context of military spending cuts, the development of all projects will be extremely slow, and the production enthusiasm of the Wanshan military industrial production complex will also be greatly reduced. Because of this, Lu Jiadong, who was disrupted, was neither helpless nor reconciled
Lu Jiadong is not the only one who is unwilling. The same is true of Musharraf, who sat across from him, who was originally the successor of the former president of Pakistan and who had been in the post of chief of the general staff for a few more years according to the normal development model. can smoothly succeed the former president. Officially took over the power of the country.
But people are not as good as heaven, the opposition's sudden force, so that Musharraf was very caught off guard, not only the biggest backstage collapsed, even he was barely surviving, although he was not completely driven out of the Pakistani military leadership, but the new government's investigation of him has been launched, and the breakthrough is the Sino-Pakistan New Tank Cooperation Project led by him.
Originally, Musharraf was still thinking of retreating as advancing. He spent several years in the position of commander of the Southern Military District, relying on the increased military strength, the creation of jobs and the economy stimulated by the China-Pakistan tank project. made a comeback again, made a comeback, and where did he think that his political enemies would be so ruthless.
Just a phrase "Infinite Termination" , let him rely on all the political capital swept away, which is equivalent to digging out the hope of Musharraf rising again from the root, not to mention that his own hands are not clean, during the Sino-Pakistani cooperation, he has not reaped any benefits from it, once convicted, waiting for him will no longer be the coveted presidential throne, but the dark prison seat, because of this, Musharraf can not sit still, and it is precisely because of this that he will hurriedly find Lu Jiadong over, and discuss what to do next
"Mr. Lu, so I came to you this time to discuss and discuss, what should I do about this matter!" Musharraf gradually calmed down after scolding resentfully for a while, and his body once again exuded the coldness and treachery of when he was the head of Pakistan's armed forces intelligence chief, especially those gray-black eyes, constantly flashing with an elusive shrewd look:
"I know that Mr. Lu has put a lot of effort into the new tank project, and so do I, so neither you, Mr. Lu, nor myself, want to see this project ended like this by those bastards with bad intentions."
Listening to Musharraf's words, Lu Jiadong just raised his eyes and looked, but still did not speak, his head was also trying to think about how to deal with it, but in the face of sudden changes and the space that Pakistan could not exert at this stage, Lu Jiadong's mind was indeed in chaos, and Musharraf knew that Lu Jiadong was thinking about miscellaneous things, looking at the young man opposite whom he rarely admired, his expression was still solemn, and he thought that he had listened to his words, so he continued to speak:
"Of course, according to the current situation, it is very difficult to change the decision of the current government of Pakistan from within, so we need to take some extraordinary measures to adjust"
"Extraordinary means?"
Lu Jiadong, who was in a state of confusion, heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the so-called authorities were confused, and under unprepared circumstances, the new tank project was forcibly terminated by the Pakistani side, which really caught Lu Jiadong off guard, and his mind was disturbed, so that his thinking and vision were also bound to Pakistan.
Musharraf's "extraordinary means" is like opening a skylight in Lu Jiadong's heart, sweeping away all the complicated thoughts, and then a gentle breeze makes Lu Jiadong's mind clear again
"That's right, it's going to be an extraordinary thing, and in that case, we're only looking at what we're doing inside Pakistan, so why don't we start from the outside?"
"Mr. Lu, you may not understand what I mean, I mean wait"
Musharraf's so-called "extraordinary measures" meant something else, he thought that Lu Jiadong didn't understand, and wanted to explain in detail, but then he reacted, Lu Jiadong didn't understand what he meant, but had something else, so he looked at Lu Jiadong suspiciously:
"What do you mean by working from the outside?"
"It's very simple! It's to make the name of the new tank!"
Lu Jiadong smiled indifferently and said what he thought. He did understand what the "extraordinary means" of the former intelligence chief in front of him were, and he was here to do business, not to take risks. Lu Jiadong is not interested in Pakistan's internal affairs at all, what he wants to do is to let the current Pakistani government continue to carry out the cooperation project of new tanks, but Musharraf frowned when he heard Lu Jiadong's words:
"That's what I thought, after all, the previous decision was to bid on the new tank as an alternative to the tanks of other countries, in this case. Our new tank was able to show unrivalled performance in competitive tests, giving the current government no reason to refuse, but now the current government has put the entire tank upgrade program on hold. We"
"I'm talking about fighting, not on the test site, but on the real battlefield, just like the C801 anti-ship missile not long ago!"
"You mean"
Musharraf woke up slightly. But before he could speak. Lu Jiadong's words rang in his ears again: "You must know that the current government of Pakistan uses the phrase 'temporarily terminated for economic reasons' in the new tank project, this very open sentence is full of associations, especially for your country's sworn enemy India, if our new tank achieves proud results on the battlefield."
"Then India will inevitably strengthen its armaments, especially its ground armor forces, which will force Pakistan to review whether its own armor forces need to be updated in time!"
Musharraf can stand tall in the stormy political situation in Pakistan, and his mind and eyesight will naturally not be bad, before Lu Jiadong can finish speaking. reacted immediately, followed by a cold and treacherous look in his eyes. was replaced by a strong strange look, to be honest, he didn't want to get blood on his hands until he had to,
In addition to accumulating a certain good reputation, the most important thing is that the current government's strength is too strong, so strong that even he, a former intelligence chief, has no chance of winning, because of this, after listening to Lu Jiadong's other version of "extraordinary measures", his mind spun slightly, and the corners of his mouth with a thick mustache turned up slightly, showing an irrepressible smile:
"I remember there is an old Chinese saying that says, 'Flowers bloom in the wall, red outside the wall', Mr. Lu, your brain is comparable to Einstein!"
Listening to Musharraf's words, Lu Jiadong only smiled, and then continued intriguingly: "I only believe in one creed, that is, the battlefield is the best advertisement for weapons and equipment, and it is also an excellent performance field for deterring the enemy, of course, as for where our new tanks are advertised and performed, I think Musharraf should know much more than me!"
"Haha~~~ Mr. Lu, you are still so modest!" Musharraf laughed at first, but then said with a straight face: "I will visit Saudi Arabia in two days, if Mr. Lu doesn't mind, you can go with me to have a look, I believe Prince Khalid will be very happy to see you!"
Lu Jiadong nodded and responded with a smile:
"Me too"
A few days later, in the royal estate in the eastern suburbs of Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, a private helicopter slowly landed on the green grass tarmac, Lu Jiadong and Musharraf stepped off the helicopter and followed the waiters into the luxurious hall.
"My Lu, I've finally seen you again, I'll introduce you to a new friend!"
As he spoke, he pulled a sturdy middle-aged Arab man beside him to his side, smiled at Lu Jiadong and introduced: "This is Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Aziz" (to be continued.) )
