If you want to open the Pakistani market, why bother with this kind of? Don't you have a tall M1 main battle tank?

In this era, if you want to say that the most powerful tank, it is either the Leopard-2 or the M1, in short, everyone thinks that their tank is the most powerful.

As for the tanks of the Soviets? The performance of their individual tanks may not be the most advanced, they pay attention to group operations, rely on the entire sea of tanks, and rely on this armored torrent.

In this era, Pakistan is still very hard, the Indians opposite them have begun to equip a large number of T-72 tanks, and even the Indians themselves have begun to produce this tank, and at the same time, they have also designed and manufactured the Arjun main battle tank themselves, and now it is also dry and lively.

Look again, what is there in Pakistan opposite?

The main force in their arsenal is still 59 tanks, 69 tanks, and even old goods like the M48.

If you want to say the most advanced, it should be the Type 85 main battle tank in your hand, and Lao Ba has already placed an order on this. It is developing steadily according to the three-step strategy.

However, the 85 tank is not particularly advanced, and it is almost the same as abusing the Jaguar, and the gap between it and other people's M1 main battle tanks is still quite large.

Therefore, the other party wanted to sell the Jaguar to Pakistan, Qin Zhenhua had no denial, but put forward another plan, why not sell your M1 tank?

Especially, in this period, there is another outstanding advantage, that is, military aid!

Because of the war in the cemetery of empires, the United States and Pakistan are also very close, and even F-16 fighters can be exported to Pakistan, which was unimaginable before, compared with the J-7 fighters provided by the eastern powers, it is a whole generation ahead.

In terms of tanks, the same is true, even if the 85 tank is heavily equipped with Lao Ba and uses a 125 mm cannon barrel, on the whole, it cannot be compared with the M1.

Moreover, it is still military aid, the US government contributes funds, purchases from domestic arms dealers, and then sends weapons to Lao Ba, this kind of good opportunity, everyone is happy, the US government pays, arms dealers and Lao Ba, they are all happy.

Now, Qin Zhenhua gave the other party an idea, if he wants to sell it, he will sell the M1 tank, and people like this.

Now, it is the contradiction between Thomas and Dr. Wright, and it has nothing to do with himself.

Sure enough, hearing this suggestion, Thomas looked at Dr. Wright, and Dr. Wright at this time had an embarrassed expression on his face: "Well, Congress has not yet agreed." ”

Of course they wanted to sell.

After designing and manufacturing the M1 tank, they not only equipped it themselves, but also wanted to export it to Europe in large quantities, after all, the arms business has never been a separate arms business, it is tied to politics, on the one hand, they can sell weapons to make money, and on the other hand, they can firmly tie those little brothers to the big ship of the United States, why not?

However, the sales of the M1 tank are not optimistic, and in the process of promotion, it has always been in competition with the Leopard-2, and every time the competition will fail!

The reason is also very simple, the M1 tank uses a gas turbine engine, and the customer is actually more reluctant to this kind of engine, and after comparison, the customer will choose the Leopard-2 tank.

The export of M1 tanks was blocked, and they also wanted to open up new markets. However, it is not easy to sell it to Lao Ba, after all, this is a purely offensive weapon, and it is powerful.

The Americans export weapons in a principled manner, and they have no scruples about selling F-16s, anyway, they are low-grade products, and they can even be set up in the fire control system so that they cannot throw some precision-guided weapons, but when they sell F-15s, they have to weigh and weigh.

This is still a third-generation aircraft, and when it comes to the fourth-generation aircraft, the F-22 is not sold at all, but a group of people are recruited to develop a four-different F-35. ）

The M1 tank has not yet been approved for export.

"Then you'll have to hurry." Qin Zhenhua said: "After all, looking at the current situation, the Soviet Union may withdraw its troops, and once it withdraws, the US military aid will definitely decrease, and when the time comes, if you want to sell it, it will be even more difficult." ”

Dr. Wright nodded repeatedly: "You're right, we need to hurry up on this matter." ”

Thomas was left to dry.

This day ended in a cordial and friendly atmosphere, on the evening of this day, Zhao Guodong finally came back, and after coming back, he was a little curious when he heard about the things here.

"Zhenhua, why do you want to help them come up with ideas?" Zhao Guodong asked.

Now, in the factory, Qin Zhenhua is the absolute authority, no one wants to question Qin Zhenhua's decision, the plan he put forward has finally been verified to be correct, and only Zhao Guodong is not questioning at this time, just puzzled.

The reason is obvious, the market is so big, others go in, you have to come out, Lao Ba is our traditional market, you are like this, you want to let the traditional market out, that is not good for us.

This kind of thing shouldn't be something that Qin Zhenhua can do.

Qin Zhenhua smiled: "If you support them to sell the Jaguar tank, maybe they can really succeed, and I support them to sell the M1 tank, then there is no possibility of success, but you can let them fight among themselves first." ”

They all represent the interests of the United States, and if their side vigorously opposes it, it will be absolutely bad, and if the Jaguar tank passes, then maybe it will really win the welcome of Lao Ba, especially now that there is still a banner of military aid, the price problem will not be too big.

Therefore, Qin Zhenhua got involved in the M1 tank and instigated them to sell the M1 tank, so that they had internal contradictions, and they could just stand by and watch.

The performance of the M1 tank is advanced enough, but there is a reason why it has repeatedly failed to sell to the outside world.

"Although Lao Ba's economic situation is not good, if he takes the channel of military aid, I am afraid there is still hope, right?" Zhao Guodong asked.

The economic situation of Laoba is not good, so it is impossible to buy it, but the Americans can now provide military aid.

"Military aid, it's just a tank, even if there are tanks, so what, Lao Ba can't afford to burn oil." Qin Zhenhua explained.

Gas turbines, look at them, in addition to the two hegemons of the United States and the Soviet Union, is there a third country in the world that uses it? That's just a monster that drinks oil, and Lao Ba himself doesn't produce oil, how can he withstand this kind of consumption.
