As a subordinate organ, it can only passively wait for the decision from above, and can make a report and ask for instructions, but it is a basic principle that subordinates cannot interfere with the actions of the above.

Now, Mhammad's suggestion that a heavy fighter jet is needed is a very disrespectful act that can even lead to unnecessary trouble, such as the defense minister, who is strongly advocating the use of F-16 fighters, will feel that this is saying that his decision was inappropriate.

Musha'af's head suddenly became big, after all, Muhammad didn't know the upper circles, and he would annoy many people if he brought it up like this.

Sure enough, when Defense Minister Murwav heard Mhammad's words, he immediately said coldly: "Mhammad, you said that even if the F-16 is equipped with our country, it will not be able to protect our airspace?" This is a complete fallacy! Even if there is no F-16, even if there is only the old J-6, our Air Force can protect our airspace, and today's air battle, our J-6, didn't it shoot down the Su-24? ”

"Yes, our Air Force is heroic." Mhammad didn't know where the courage came from, and he still insisted on his own principles when he saw that the Minister of Defense was already unhappy: "The gap in equipment can be made up with the bravery and technology of our pilots, but if we don't develop and the gap is getting bigger and bigger, then what we will pay in the future may be more sacrifices of pilots, and we can't afford such a price." ”

"In that case, the F-16 will be enough to assume the role of replacing the J-6." Murvev said: "Advanced turbofan engines, advanced cockpit and airborne radar, missiles are also very advanced, it is very appropriate to use it instead of the J-6, what do you think?" ”

Mhammad only returned from the mountains of Afghanistan. Because of too many military exploits, he will be promoted to the chief of staff of the military region, he is at most familiar with the army, and his knowledge of the air force is almost zero, can he identify the models of those aircraft? Does he know how advanced the F-16 is? Also heavy fighters. Does he know what a heavy fighter is? At the final question, Murwav was almost half-mocking.

"The F-14 Tomcat, which is the main air supremacy fighter of the US aircraft carrier formation, has a twin-engine, computer-controlled fully variable sweep wing, which can fully adapt to all kinds of air combat at medium and low altitudes, and carries immortal bird missiles, which can even attack targets a hundred kilometers away." "We in Pakistan need this kind of heavy air superiority fighter!" ”

"Chief of Staff Mhammad. Do you know a lot, we have a long and narrow territory, and the huge flight radius of this fighter is useful to us? ”

"It works!" "It may not be useful to just intercept the Soviet air force stationed in Afghanistan, but deep into the heart of India, escort bombers to bomb cities in eastern India," Mhammad said. The range advantage of such a fighter is reflected! Moreover, it is possible to go around in circles over the Indian Ocean. Go and attack the aircraft carrier formations of the Indians! ”

As soon as Mhammad's words were spoken, President Zia-ul-Haq, who had been silent, suddenly lit up.

Pakistan's old enemy will always be India! Even now facing the threat of the Soviets on the western border, Pakistan's main defense force is still deployed in the east. Even if those F-16 fighters returned home, Zia-ul-Haq's idea was to deploy these fighters to the Eastern Military District first.

For a military president who has fought in two Indo-Pakistani wars, fighting the Indian army is a situation that could happen at any time.

India is several times the size of Pakistan. The national defense force is also very strong, and the number of fighters is several times that of Pakistan, especially now, in order to contain Pakistan, the Soviet Union has exported a large number of MiG-21 and MiG-23 fighters to India, and the advantage of the generation gap is still increasing.

"That's the main air superiority fighter of the American Navy, and the Americans probably won't sell it to us." Secretary General of the Ministry of Defense Mizar said: "After all, although the Americans have supported us, they are still wary of us, and heavy fighters, at the same time, are not something that our national strength can afford, and we do not have enough funds to equip these fighters." ”

"Grumman has 80 Tomcat fighters, which were originally for Iran, but now there are no buyers, Grumman is very anxious, selling around, but we can't find a successor, as long as we express our will, Grumman will be very willing, and at the same time they can lobby those parliamentarians to give us the green light." Mhammad said: "As for the funding, the United States has been aiding us militarily, so that the United States can subsidize us part, and at the same time, we can also find some Muslim brothers, such as Saudi Arabia, to borrow some funds, as long as we work hard, we will definitely be able to equip our air force with heavy fighters, defeat India, dominate South Asia, we need a heavy fighter!" ”

Defeat India and dominate South Asia! This sentence made Zia-ul-ulk's body violently, this is what almost all the rulers of Pakistan aspire to, for them, defeating India can bring permanent peace to Pakistan!

"We'll discuss this later." "Now, let's talk about how to deal with the Soviets' air strikes, and I think we should deploy some surface-to-air missiles in key areas," Zia-ul-Haq said. ”

Mhammad suddenly felt a disappointment in his heart, he just took the risk of offending these senior officials of the Ministry of Defense, just wanted to move the president, after all, it was too difficult to meet with the president, and moreover, Mhammad had the memory of his previous life, and his analysis of the shape was naturally in place, these words definitely moved the president, but the president actually changed his words and avoided his own topic, didn't he just fool the successful president?

Therefore, Mhammad can only listen to the following words, no longer speak, the deployment of surface-to-air missiles, it is not a good choice, it is surrounded by mountainous areas, and the ground-to-air missile units only have a very short reaction time, in order to prevent accidental damage, the air force must reduce its activities in these areas, passive defense, it is never better to take the initiative to attack!

Mhammad didn't listen to what the meeting was about, he was disappointed all the time, and the large fighter plane kept appearing in front of his eyes, flying through the sky in a graceful manner.

Heavy fighters, for a country, is a strategic position, large range, large bomb load, is the main force and trump card in the air force, although the cost is high, but, the quality of the advantage, can not be made up by quantity, later generations have proved this, even the land of the projectile Israel, are equipped with a large number of F-15 heavy fighters.

Pakistan needs heavy fighters, its relationship with the Soviet Union is hostile, it is impossible to obtain it from the Soviet side, and it can only rely on this short honeymoon period to obtain it from the United States.

Moreover, if Pakistan wants to become a great power, it cannot do without aircraft carriers! Tomcat fighters are born carrier-based fighters, once Pakistan has an aircraft carrier in the future, it can easily deploy this kind of fighter on a warship, and later China, for the carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier, I don't know how many plans and how much effort it took to decide to modify the J-11.

When the meeting was over, everyone stood up, sent the president and the others away, and got into the helicopter.

The sky around him had long since darkened, and standing on the empty airport, the cold wind was blowing, and Mhammad's heart was still not good.

"Mhammad, there are many things, and it is not okay to be in a hurry." Just then, a voice came from beside me.

Mhammad, who is already the chief of staff, is called by his first name, and only one person can, and that is Commander Mushaaf.

"I offended the Minister of Defense today." "Obviously I see that the president is very interested," Mhammad said. ”

"The president is very wise, and it is impossible to make a decision right now." Musha'af said: "The president must do a detailed investigation, but once the president decides, he will do his best to complete it, Mhammad, you wait, there will be news within half a month at the earliest." ”

Also, this is a major event in national defense, the state invests in the purchase of fighter planes, this is a big project, if he fools around, the president says that he wants to buy this kind of fighter plane, then the president is too irrational.

Thinking of this, Mhammad finally relaxed: "Commander, I was too anxious just now. ”

"Defeat India, dominate South Asia, Mhammad, your words are really arrogant, you know, when you said this, everyone was stunned." Musha'af said.

This sentence really pierced the president's soft underbelly, and defeating the old enemy India is something that Pakistan has been looking forward to. It's just that in every war, almost Pakistan is inferior, especially the last time, the third Indo-Pakistani war in 71, this war led to the division of East Pakistan into Bangladesh, and all Pakistanis are regarded as humiliated.

Pakistan has lost the land of East Pakistan, and in the past in the Indo-Pakistani war, Pakistan could use East Pakistan to attack India from two directions, but now, Pakistan has only one territory.

"Actually, it's not that hard to defeat India." "Last time we failed, it was because of internal divisions, and against India, we can also dismember them in the same way!" ”

The night sky is still dark, but Mhammad's gaze is extremely deep, when he is in Afghanistan, he thinks about the overall situation of Afghanistan, and when he becomes a soldier of Pakistan again, he thinks more about the situation in Pakistan, and if he wants to fight for a safe environment for Pakistan, it is necessary to dismember India!

I don't know what happened to the Free Afghan Army, although Mhammad left there, but his heart has always stayed there, after all, it is the place where he fought, and there is the army he pulled up single-handedly.

Unbeknownst to him, the dusty Gulbuddin had finally found the Second Regiment of the Free Army in the Panjshir Valley after five or six days of trekking. (To be continued......)
