Chapter 267: Meddling in Angola

Under pressure from home and abroad, apartheid was abolished in South Africa in the 90s, and De Clark was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize along with Nelson Mandela.

Later, in an election, blacks, who make up the majority of the population, naturally elected Nelson Mandela as president, and whites in South Africa have since become a vulnerable group.

If the blacks can stick to their previous policy of domination and go step by step, then South Africa will still be a developed country. But, as it turned out, they simply did not have the ability to govern the country.

Under black rule, South Africa's economy deteriorated, with government deficits, unemployment, crime rates, brain drain, reduced foreign investment, and electricity shortages. The greatest contribution of these black presidents to South Africa was the de-whiteization. The national flag and anthem were all changed, and cities, airports, and roads were replaced with black names. The efficient and powerful South African government has become corrupt and incompetent, and corruption pervades every branch of government. The welfare and treatment of blacks are getting higher and higher, and the political and social status of blacks is getting higher and higher. Whites have become a vulnerable group, and their greatest desire is to work abroad. Johannesburg, South Africa's largest city, was once the country's financial and economic center, but eventually became the homicide capital, and South Africa, like other African countries, has retreated from developed to developing countries thanks to the tireless efforts of black people, and perhaps even to become a poor country.

The same is true of Zimbabwe, a country once ruled by whites, who drove whites out of the country after the blacks became independent, and as a result, their economic situation began to deteriorate, and the currency began to depreciate, and the Zimbabwean currency became the largest denomination in the world. They didn't even have food, the land that had been snatched from the whites. They don't go farming at all.

These are not for Mhammad to consider, what Mhammad needs now is how to get more money, and the way is to get it from the fighting in Angola!

South Africa is still under white domination, meanwhile. South Africa is also a strong country because of its gold and diamond production, and at the same time it does not watch a pro-Soviet country look around it. And the United States, even if it condemns apartheid in South Africa, must join South Africa in supporting UNITA's fight.

South Africa sent its troops, but the United States did not, after all, the United States was afraid of the second Vietnam theater. And now, the shape shì is not very favorable to South Africa, the sky is still Cuban, and the Cubans have completely seized air supremacy by piloting the warplanes brought by the Soviet Union.

Just send a mercenary army from Pakistan to make some extra money!

"Ask me to come over to the American ambassador." Thinking of this, Mhammad picked up the phone and said to the assistant outside.

Soon. U.S. Ambassador Arnold Raphael arrived, after Lord was killed. He took over the post of U.S. ambassador to Pakistan.

In recent months, Pakistan has smoothly navigated a period of transition of power, which the United States would like to see the most, and they believe that a strong-blooded man from the military can lead Pakistan and Afghanistan. Beat the Soviets to the ground.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. President." Arnold said.

"I'm happy too." "In recent months, the Soviets have not moved much, and our Afghan regime has passed the initial period," Mhammad said. It has also won the support of the Western world, and we tell the Soviets with hard facts that their vain attempt to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries is doomed to failure! ”

"Yes, the Soviets tried in vain to plant the red flag everywhere in the world, and they were doomed!" Arnold also said, feeling a little strange, what does Mhammad want to do when he says this?

Sure enough, Mhammad continued: "However, in other places, the world is still not peaceful, for example, in Africa, the Soviets support the SPLM and have occupied most of Angola, and the Cubans, and even send troops directly to Angola, which is simply too much!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Arnold echoed that the Americans hated Cuba, a country that had always held high the red flag at the doorstep of the United States, and that the only military operation carried out by the United States against Cuba had failed, which had brought shame to the American army, and that Cuba had allowed the Soviets to deploy ballistic missiles had made the Americans even more indignant.

For the United States, Cuba is a rogue state.

"We, the United States, have wanted to send troops directly several times, but we are forced by the shape of the world, and if we send troops, it will make the situation there more complicated." Arnold said.

"I have a building yì." "What do you think of the fighter planes you provide, and the pilots we provide to beat the Soviets in the Angolan skies?" ”

The United States provides fighter jets? The United States has long been preparing military assistance to UNITA, but in fact, those infantry weapons have been secretly supporting all along, but large-scale weapons have not yet dared to use them.

After all, the United States and the Soviet Union are two big countries, and now is the time when the Cold War is at its most intense.

If it were to be done by a third country, it would be different.

"What do you need?" Arnold said he knew that when the plan was presented to the president, the president would agree.

"A squadron of Tomcat fighters, a squadron of A-7 attack aircraft, enough ammunition, spare parts, as long as we have these, we can beat the Soviets to the ground with teeth." Mhammad said.

It would be very good if Mhammad could mobilize his own pilots over, and the fighters would definitely not be able to come out, and the Americans had to provide them.

"However, these fighters that we do not have mothballed now, and it will take time to transfer them from the production line." Arnold said.

"This is very simple, you can fly the planes on the aircraft carrier directly to the South African Air Force Base." Mhammad said.

Fighters on aircraft carriers? Arnold shook his head suddenly: "No, how can this be?" ”

The armament of the fighters on the aircraft carriers is proportionate, and if these aircraft are transferred to South Africa, the US aircraft carriers will become toothless tigers.

"In order to help UNITA, we have to pay the price, our soldiers pay for their blood and lives, you only pay for fighter planes, if you can't even agree to this request, our arrangement can only be abandoned." Mhammad said.

"I'm afraid that air assistance alone will not be enough to reverse the decline." Arnold said: "If Pakistan's elite army, if it can be dispatched, it will be the best, South Africa's army, really not fighting." ”

Army? Muhammad shook his head: "We are still guarding against a sneak attack by the Indians, and the army cannot be dispatched, at most, it will be a battalion." ”

"A battalion will do." Arnold said.

"We need a battalion of equipment." With a smile on Mhammad's face: "Preferably an M1 tank." ”

M1 tank! At present, South Africa is using its self-developed Horn tank, which is an improvement on the basis of the Captain of the Hundred, and the T55 tank equipped with the Cubans will form an overwhelming advantage.

Of course, there is another purpose for Mhammad's request to equip such tanks, which is to thoroughly find out the performance of such tanks, and when they come, one day, maybe they will become enemies, they can find their weaknesses.

"That's the best tank in our America." Arnold said.

"Yes, do you want to provide backward armored fighting vehicles so that our fighters will be slaughtered on the battlefields of Angola?" "We did this program solely to contain the Soviets," Mhammad said. Is your support for UNITA only lip service? ”

"Of course not." "It's just that this plan was unexpected, and we need to consult the president before we can decide," Arnold said. ”

"I'm waiting for your reply." Mhammad smiled and sent off the new American ambassador, this guy is much easier to deal with than the previous Lord.

When the apartheid policy in South Africa ended, a large number of military workers could not stay still, and they left South Africa and went to the world.

And now, Mhammad has reached out to Angola, of course, not only to make some money, but also to achieve good relations with South Africa, and then, when South Africa's apartheid policy is over, he can bring those scientific researchers back to Pakistan, so that Pakistan's military research can be brought to a higher level again.

The Horn tank, which is a great help to the Pakistani copycat Leopard 2, the Tea Falcon gunship, which is a special gunship! G6 self-propelled howitzer, this is one of the few self-propelled howitzers in the world with a wheeled chassis! The RSA-3 ballistic missile, a three-stage ballistic missile jointly developed by South Africa and Israel, and a heavy carver fighter...

At the beginning, after these developers ran away, Huaxia also took a large number of them, and Mhammad took precautions to get all these people to Pakistan, and now it is the first contact between the two sides.

This matter cannot be rushed, and it must be supported by the United States, after all, it is the United States that provides the equipment and South Africa pays for it, and it is only then that it can be a real mercenary.

No one dares to underestimate the level of Pakistani mercenaries, after all, the Pakistani Air Force is a formidable force capable of resisting the Soviet Air Force.

This matter was arranged first, and for Mhammad, while waiting for the Americans to answer, the next thing Mhammad did was to go around the rich neighboring countries, and the first destination was Saudi Arabia. (To be continued......)
