I-S-Lamborg. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info{{}}
This is the capital of Pakistan and the political center of the country. It is located in the northeast of the country on the foothill plain at an altitude of 540 meters, bordering Mount Margara to the north, Lake Laval to the east, and 11 kilometers to the southwest of Rawalpin. With beautiful scenery, an accessible climate, and the absence of a single polluting factory in the city, Pakistan's vibrant and uplifting city is well laid out.
It is a young city, and after the proclamation of Duli in Pakistan in 1947, the capital was originally located in Karachi, the largest city. Located in southern Pakistan and bordering the Arabian Sea, it is a commercial port city with easy access to transportation, but it is not easily connected to the mainland and is not safe for national defense. It was not until February 1959 that a new capital was built on the Portval plateau, 10,000 meters northeast of Rawalpin, which began in 1961 and was basically completed in 1970. Although there are many traditional buildings in the city, there are still many modern buildings, four-story apartments, two-storey villas, and buildings in various areas, with clear functions, this is a beautiful and rich modern city.
I-S-Lambourg International Airport. {{}}
Flags are waving, colorful flags are fluttering, this airport is mainly for the capital, and has welcomed many international friends, but this is the first time to welcome such a large-scale event.
Pakistani Prime Minister Mohammad Khan Günedyu, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Akhtar Abdul Rahman, Presidential Press Secretary Shaliq and other senior officials were at the airport, ready to greet one of the proud heroes of the Arab world.
All kinds of journalists, news media, are also waiting at the airport to grab the headlines.
Under the plane, it is already Pakistani land, and since I-S-Langburg is inland, Qusay's special plane has to fly over Pakistani soil for a period of time after passing over Iran.
Qusay has visited many countries, but this is the first time he has been to Pakistan.
However, an inseparable and strong relationship has long been formed between Iraq and Pakistan, the two sides share the same beliefs, and the Super 7 fighter planes exported by Iraq to Pakistan fully meet the needs of Pakistan, which is shy of money, and this time, Qusay is also here to help resolve the border dispute between Pakistan and the Soviet Union. {{}}
How do you find a suitable entry point? Kusai shook his head at the memory of the Soviet ambassador's words, and the Soviet Union demanded that Pakistan apologize for this incident and at the same time guarantee that such incidents would not happen again.
Historically, although there have been some conflicts between the two sides on the border, they have not happened to such a complicated extent, and the Soviet military must have fanned the flames, remembering the photos taken by its own reconnaissance satellites when it swept over Afghanistan, and in order to deal with Pakistan, the Soviet Union sent all the MiG-29s to Afghanistan, obviously wanting to expand the dispute.
There is no need for Pakistan to engage in a large-scale conflict with the Soviet Union in this regard, and India on the Eastern Front is their mortal enemy, for the sake of a Soviet army that is about to retreat, Pakistan cannot be tricked, and it is used by some members of the Soviet Union to become a bulwark to hinder Gorbachev's withdrawal plan. {{}}
Of course, Qusay's visit this time is not entirely for the border conflict between the two sides, otherwise, he would have only let Tariq come, and he came this time also to deepen relations between Iraq and Pakistan.
The current situation in Iraq is already very delicate, and in this fierce international environment, before the coming turbulent nineties, Iraq is sailing against the current, and if it does not advance, it will retreat. To the west, Iraq has inserted its forces into North Africa, and to the east, all of Persia. And further east, is Pakistan.
Pakistan's southern proximity to the Arabian Sea is also of great benefit to Iraq's future naval development, and furthermore, to the east, it is the great power of the East, which has a great position in the strategy of Qusay, and in order to deal with the only superpower in later generations, Iraq must win over a strategic alliance of sufficient weight.
Moreover, the big country in the East is a big country in imports, and there are many entrances, which means that the consumer group is large, for example, even if it is an average of two into a mobile phone, this is a shocking market, not to mention, the phenomenon of starting with multiple machines, it is more common, laptops, various electronic products, cars and other products, the big country in the East, after the economic take-off, is also an important consumer market. {{}}
Therefore, Qusay's visit this time has another purpose, to negotiate with Pakistan to build a railway from Baghdad in Iraq, through Persia, Pakistan, and finally to the eastern powers.
The railway is the main artery of the national economy, and the construction of this railway line will drive the economic development along the line, increase Iraq's ability to control all parts of Persia, and make the trade between Iraq, Persia, Pakistan, and the eastern powers more convenient, and greatly facilitate the transportation of materials between them.
With the gradual resolution of the problems in southern Persia, the construction of this railway line has gradually become a reality.
Kusai glanced out the window, several Super Seven fighters were flying not far away, shouldering the task of escorting.
This time, from Baghdad, four Mirage 4000s took off from Basra Air Base, which had been on escort duty, passed through Persian airspace, and after entering Pakistan, they were replaced by Pakistan Air Force aircraft. Although it is far from the border of Afghanistan, it is still necessary to prevent possible accidents, so after entering Pakistani airspace, four Super Seven fighters took on the task of escorting.
After the Super 7 fighters entered the Pakistan Air Force, the Pakistan Air Force gave a very high evaluation, especially in the last air battle, although the medium-range bombs fired shè were finally off target because the opponent's flight altitude was too low, but it still gave them the ability to destroy the enemy's entry at a long distance.
The Pakistan Air Force is actively preparing to buy the latest Sparrow missiles from the United States, which have the ability to descend under complex ground clutter, but Qusay knows that the honeymoon period between Pakistan and the United States is coming to an end.
In the United States, there are many forces that oppose good relations with Pakistan, and they believe that India is more worthy of the support of the United States. Only now, during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the United States, in the interests of its own country, had to actively support Pakistan against Soviet expansion.
Through Pakistan, the United States sent a large amount of equipment to the Afghan guerrillas to support their white-spoon struggle, and in order to help the Pakistani Air Force against the Soviet Air Force, the United States provided them with advanced F-16 fighter jets. However, when the last Soviet Union withdrew from Afghanistan, the United States began to suppress Pakistan, and one of the important problems was that Pakistan was secretly researching nuclear weapons.
In 1990, U.S. Senator Pressler urged Congress to enact a bill to impose an arms embargo on Pakistan on the grounds that Pakistan was secretly conducting nuclear weapons research, which is also a common tactic used by the United States.
According to the agreement between Pakistan and the United States, Pakistan paid the United States $685 million for the purchase of the second batch of 28 F-16s, but because of the US arms embargo, Pakistan could not get a single fighter. Moreover, the United States also very shamelessly does not return these funds, blocking the way for Pakistan to buy French aircraft. Pakistan has limited funds, $685 million, which is not a small amount.
Only now, the situation has changed a lot, and if the United States embargoes Pakistan, Pakistan has a new option, Iraq, which can export weapons to Pakistan.
After Iraq solved the problem of avionics, it no longer relied on the United States to produce its own fighters.
While Qusay was thinking about it, he heard the secretary say, "President, I-Ranburg is about to arrive." ”
In the early air, a large passenger plane appeared in the sight of the white spoon and slowly landed on the runway.
This kind of passenger aircraft of the same level as Boeing 707, many people have seen this kind of aircraft more than once, more familiar, this is Iraq and the eastern powers jointly developed and developed the Yun-10 passenger aircraft, at present, this kind of aircraft has not obtained the airworthiness certificate in the West, because the noise is not up to standard, so when the West has not allowed this aircraft to be put into commercial operation, it is mainly between the Middle East and Asian and African countries, began to enter the civil aviation sector, put into the operation of these lines.
The cabin door opened, and Cusai looked at the blue sky, looked at the welcoming group below, and took his own steps firmly.
Behind him, Foreign Minister Tariq waited for him to enter, and he also stepped off the plane.
"President Qusay is welcome to visit our country." Prime Minister Günejiu said.
In the current tense situation, the visit of the President of Iraq to Pakistan is undoubtedly of great significance.
Seeing that the Prime Minister of Pakistan actually came to the airport to greet him, which is a high enough standard, Qusay shook Gunejiu's hand and said: "I am very happy to have come to this great country, we Iraq, and Pakistan, are both developing countries, we all have the same beliefs, and we also have common interests, this time, on behalf of the people of Iraq, on behalf of Iraq, I hope to promote peace in Pakistan, and hope to continue the great friendship between our two countries." ”
Qusay's speech made the reporters around him excited, and sure enough, it was very consistent with their guess, and the focus of Qusay's visit this time was on the recent Afghan border issue.
At the airport, after reviewing the Pakistani guard of honor, Qusay took a car and began to march towards I-S-Langburg.
