"Mr. President, the commander-in-chief of our visiting formation, Haziz, has given us the latest situation, and they have already communicated with the Chinese side on nuclear submarines." At the presidential palace in Islamabad, Mhammad, who was working at his desk, raised his head and looked at Mushaaf, who was talking next to him.

"How?"

"As a result of the investigation, the nuclear submarines of the Chinese Navy, the nuclear power system is very stable, and the overall structure is suitable, but there are still many aspects that need to be improved, and we cannot directly introduce them, and they must go through a large number of improvements." "The main improvements are: first, the propellers of the propulsion system and the main circulating water pump. Second, the combat system, including sonar, integrated command system, automatic torpedo loading system, and so on, all need to introduce advanced technology from the West. Thirdly, the pressure-resistant hulls of submarines, made of our own high-strength steel, make it possible to reach greater depths. At the same time, Huaxia also hopes to obtain these equally. ”

Mhammad rubbed his eyes with his hand and said: "Nuclear submarines, which are related to our maritime rights and interests, are a key project of our navy, and cooperation with the Chinese side is the most suitable choice, and I completely agree with these." Also, this matter must be kept secret, and the fewer people who know about it, the better. ”

"Yes." Musha'af said.

"Anything else?" Mhammad asked.

"This morning, when the oil tanker Sea Giant was passing through the Strait of Hormuz, it was attacked by bombs dropped by Iraqi warplanes, and when it was urgently evaded, it ran aground near Kak Island." Musha'af said.

Iran-Iraq war! Although it is not Pakistan's business, Pakistan also made a part of the wealth of the Iran-Iraq war, and Pakistan's initial source of wealth was to earn several times the profit by secretly smuggling parts of Tomcat fighters to Iran. Moreover, it later provided Iran with equipment such as TF30 engines, and supported Iran's air force to maintain more than 50 Tomcat fighters, which have been firmly occupying air supremacy between Iran and Iran.

Later, Iran carried out similar help, like: On the Afghan side, Iran and Pakistan had the same attitude, both were very disgusted by the actions of the Soviet Union, and even helped the Afghan partisans to intercept Soviet convoys on the territory of Iran. For another example, when they first received the Tomcat fighter, they even invited Iranian air force personnel to help quickly master the piloting and maintenance of this fighter.

On the surface, Pakistan is on Iraq's side, but in reality. Pakistan has a lot of cooperation with Iran, and this cooperation is very secretive, and if the United States knew about it, it would definitely be quite disgusted by Pakistan's behavior.

In the private sector, trade between the two sides has long begun, and Pakistan's industrialization has brought a large number of industrial products. Many of these industrial products are sold to Iran. Iran, which is under blockade, is in great need of various industrial goods. At the same time, Iran's oil resources were exported to Pakistan, which promoted the progress of Pakistan's industrialization.

The war between Iraq and Iraq has nothing to do with Pakistan. And now, even the oil tankers in Hong Kong have suffered a blow, and Mhammad's eyes narrowed into a line: "After this blow, the Hong Kong company of this ship is temporarily unable to take it back, and their company." Faced with a huge debt problem, he will definitely find a way to sell the boat. At this time, it is an opportunity for us. ”

Pakistan needs multiple channels to make money, in addition to developing its economy but also developing trade, and on the edge of the Persian Gulf, Pakistan also seems to have some geographical advantages.

"President Mhammad, you mean, we're also going to get involved in crude oil shipments?" Musha'f asked.

"yes, that's a pretty good opportunity." "This giant oil tanker, which can carry hundreds of thousands of tons of crude oil at a time, is now stranded, and we can sell it at a low price, and then send someone to salvage this ship, just enough to transport our crude oil," Mhammad said. By the way, taking advantage of the bad market, there will definitely be many ocean-going shipping companies that cannot operate, and we can buy a batch of oil tankers at a low price and set up our state-owned crude oil transportation fleet. ”

"But the situation in the Persian Gulf is not peaceful now." Musha'af said.

"We have a navy, we can send a navy to protect our tankers." Mhammad said: "The navy is raised to protect maritime rights and interests. ”

After a pause, Mhammad continued: "The Iran-Iraq war cannot be carried out indefinitely, and now, because of their ship raids, it has led to a shortage of crude oil supply in the world, and whoever can transport crude oil out will get a high return, and when their war is over, crude oil still needs a very large supply, which needs to be transported, and it is a good opportunity for us to insert it now." ”

The natural way of Mhammad from later generations, the Iran-Iraq war will end in 88, and now, Pakistan is completely different from history, but the relationship between Iran and Iraq has not been greatly affected, so if it is according to the historical process, it should end this year, at most, and later, that is, next year.

Now, the international crude oil will continue, and when the war is over, there will be no military threat, and the crude oil transportation trade at sea will be even more prosperous, and now is the most suitable time!

As for protecting its own fleet, Pakistan is no longer empty talk, and the British Type 82 destroyer has joined the Pakistan Navy, a large warship with a strong anti-aircraft attack capability. Moreover, what made Mhammad even happier was that he finally got two Kidd-class destroyers from the Americans!

After several rounds of negotiations, the United States finally agreed to sell two Kidd-class ships to Pakistan, and as for the standard anti-aircraft missiles above, after difficult discussions between the two sides, the final agreement reached was to provide 30 standard anti-aircraft missiles for each ship, you know, each ship can accommodate more than 60 missiles, so that even half of the missiles have not been obtained.

Pakistan ordered a total of 200 missiles, and the rest were stored in the American bases, and then shipped to Pakistan when Pakistan needed them.

It's almost a bully clause, and Pakistan gets the same treatment as Taiwan. However, after repeated consultations, the Pakistani side agreed.

After all, the Americans have regarded the standard missile as a treasure and have been hiding it and refusing to let it go, now. It would be very good for Pakistan to get these two, and thirty more standard missiles.

No matter how much you buy, it's useless, the important thing is the ability to develop yourself! By purchasing these two warships, Pakistan will be able to understand the technology of standard missiles and apply it to the Aegis system developed by itself, after all, that is the system that can finally support the umbrella of the Pakistan Navy!

Now, two Kidd-class. A Type 82 destroyer, all of which are air defense destroyers, escorting several civilian tankers in the Persian Gulf, does not dare to provoke itself too much even if Iraq is afraid.

As for escorting civilian ships, the whole world has begun, and the warships of the Americans, as early as a few years ago, began to enter the Persian Gulf to escort civilian ships. It was supposed to be directed against Iran, as a result. Iraq also did not appreciate it, and took advantage of the lack of defense of the Americans, and actually damaged a US frigate with Exocet missiles, and apologized afterwards, and the Americans also admitted this dumb loss.

Although Hong Kong has not yet officially returned to the motherland, but. The current Sea Giant still made the Huaxia Navy lose face once, and the strength of the Huaxia Navy is too weak to be able to escort ships in the Persian Gulf.

When Mhammad made the arrangements, Musha'f immediately accepted: "Yes." Then let's go and prepare immediately, and if we want to escort with warships, it is better to escort our friends, oil tankers from Saudi Arabia and other countries, what do you think? ”

Saudi Arabia and other countries are also miserable, especially Kuwait, where all crude oil is exported from the Persian Gulf, and they have suffered great losses in the ship raids here.

And Pakistan's naval escort can increase its influence here, and it can liaise with these countries, especially Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan's relationship with Saudi Arabia is also very friendly.

"Okay, that's for the best." "At the same time, we are secretly contacting Iran in the hope that they will not clash with us," Mhammad said. ”

Just like the ancient dart game, all the way over, if it all depends on fighting, then I don't know how many people the dart master will die, the dart game will not be able to operate at all, the dart game has its own route, and the mountain kings along the way are fed well, and will not come out to bite. Pakistan hopes that Iran will not attack when it sees the Pakistani flag, so that it can only defend against Iraq.

This will become a new source of profit for Pakistan! Moreover, this profit is quite lucrative, after formulating this policy, Mhammad continued to think for a long time, and then said: "There is another thing, we have to ask Osama to go to Iran, and discuss with Iran that an oil pipeline from Bandar Abbas to Karachi can be built, and I believe that the Iranians will see the benefits." ”

Build an oil pipeline!

Iran is also a big oil producer, but a large area of the east and north of the region, there is no crude oil, the Iranian oil fields are mainly distributed in the Persian Gulf coastal area, so Iran's crude oil, almost all of it is transported by oil tankers, Iran's major cities, Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz, all have oil pipelines, connecting these cities, the closest to Pakistan, is Bandar Abbas, which is also one of Iran's oil refining centers.

Although Bandar Abbas is already at the entrance to the Persian Gulf, it will still be patronized by Iraqi warplanes, and its capacity to transport oil to the outside world will be greatly reduced.

If an oil pipeline were built from Bandar Abbas to Karachi, Pakistan, the situation would be much different, far from the Persian Gulf, without being affected by the war, and the export of crude oil would be much easier.

At the same time, Pakistan's energy resources will not face a crisis, and the price of crude oil coming through the pipeline will be cheaper, which is good for Pakistan.

Of course, in Mhammad's mind, there are also more strategic considerations, as long as this crude oil reaches Pakistan, it can be built in Pakistan to the north of the crude oil pipeline, all the way to China, so as to avoid all kinds of problems of maritime transportation, this is a strategic consideration.

Hearing Mhammad's words, Musha'af paused: "We build a crude oil pipeline with Iran? Will this be internationally condemned? Especially the West? ”

Although the West is cursing Iran, it is still trading with Iran, and everyone likes crude oil. However, it is one thing to use oil tankers for transportation, and it is another thing to build oil pipelines directly, which is almost a suspicion of fornication with Iran.

"Don't worry." "We are only negotiating now, and when the negotiations are completed, the construction will take several years, and it can be carried out in secret, and when the construction is completed, the international environment may change, and the Iranians will not always be so open-minded and always stand on the opposite side of the people of the world," Mahmad said. ”

The Iranians are indeed eccentric, like France, which does not belong to the NATO camp, just to prove their abilities, is a kind of French glory in their hearts, while the Iranians, on the other hand, have a complete brain problem, scolding the United States and the Soviet Union on the other, no one pees, and dreams of spreading their doctrine to the entire Middle East.
