"Our Tomcat fighters are all engaged in air battles with the Soviets, and now, the Soviets have improved the Su-27 fighters, giving us the biggest threat, we must improve the performance of our fighters in order to be able to fight with the Soviets." "All of this is for Afghanistan, for the glory of the entire Western world," Mhammad said. ”

Hmph, if it weren't for our continuous support, Pakistan would have perished a long time ago! Even Arnold couldn't help but have such an idea.

"Our avionics are already very advanced, and they are all dragged down by backward engines, but we don't have enough money to buy all the engines, so we can only use the existing conditions in Pakistan to save money." "We now have an overhaul line for our F100 engines to repair our F-16 fighter engines," Mhammad said. This overhaul line, after improvement, should be able to produce the F110 engine simultaneously. ”

Pakistan wants to produce such an engine on its own! Impossible, how is this possible! "This is against our export regulations, and the F110 engine has never been produced in any country," Arnold said. ”

"Germany's 1,500 horsepower engine has never had a production line in another country, so didn't we set up a production line here to support our army? Now, we can produce this engine completely autonomously, and all the raw materials are produced domestically. "Since we can overhaul the F100 engine, we can produce the F110 engine, and only then will we be able to save costs, and we in Pakistan have the advantage of human resources," Mhammad said. Our minerals are also quite cheap, and we also have a variety of metal manufacturing industries, based on our existing industries, where we are not up to standard, we can introduce new equipment. To produce qualified metal blanks, I believe that the engines produced in our country can be at least one-fifth cheaper than those produced in your country, and when the time comes, maybe your country's air force will like to import engines from us, because of our cheapness. ”

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, this involves a lot of our top-secret technology. It can't be exported to your country, the F110 engine, which was developed by General Motors for decades, how can it be exported so lightly, if your country needs it, we can only provide the whole machine. Arnold said.

"It seems that we have a big disagreement again." "Maybe, we can do it the other way," Mhammad said. For example, let General Motors. Do you think it's okay to set up an engine manufacturing plant in a joint venture with us in China? ”

Joint venture! It's not that the other party exports all the technology, but just comes here to put into production and build a factory.

Just the production of engines, and not the design, and. The whole process of production is supervised by the people of the general company, and the main technology is still in the hands of the people of the general company.

In this case, it seems to be a little more acceptable.

"We both invest in each of our shares. Establish this engine manufacturing plant, the engines produced in the initial stage, all of them will be replaced with our Tomcat fighters, and when more engines are produced in the later stage, they can also be returned to your country to assemble new fighters, or provided to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other countries to upgrade their engines. Mhammad said: "I hope that you can accept this proposal, otherwise, we will lose the need to continue the exchange." ”

Arnold pondered for a moment, in this way, only building factories and building engines, it seems that there is no technical leakage, and it can allow General Motors and Grumman to make a profit, and it seems that it should be able to get through.

"Do you have any other requirements?" Arnold asked, if it was just this condition, it could be considered.

"The rest is the same application we have made before," Mr. Muhamad said, "and we want your country to give us those four Kidd-class destroyers." ”

Kidd? No, this one definitely doesn't work! The Navy has long denied it, and these four can't be sent out, the Navy has to use it for its own use! Didn't Pakistan get a broken aircraft carrier in the first place? Modified like a baby, now, why do you want it again?

"I'm sorry, but this really can't be." Arnold said: "We've already discussed it earlier. ”

"Alas, your country is so stingy." "It seems that we can only rely on ourselves, we build our own warships, and your country provides us with some subsystems for ships, there should be no problem with this, right?" ”

Subsystem? Arnold took the text drafted by Mhammad and looked at it, LM2500-30 gas turbine, 127 mm MK.45/54 times caliber high-level dual-purpose naval gun, ship-based air-to-air, sea-to-sea warning radar...

Arnold suddenly gasped, is Pakistan going to build its own warships? At the level of Pakistan, even if these things are sent to Pakistan, they will not be able to integrate together!

Arnold went out, and Mushaaf, who had not spoken all this time, asked Mhammad: "President, we want so many things this time, what if the Americans don't agree?" ”

"Of course it's easy to solve." "We put that Su-27 fighter on our runway and let the Soviets' reconnaissance satellites detect it," Mhammad said. ”

Space has no borders, and when the Soviets' reconnaissance satellites fly over, they will find this plane on their own runway, and when the time comes, the Soviets will know what happened, and the fighter plane they lost has already appeared at the air base in Pakistan!

In this way, the Soviets knew that their fighter plane had defected, and the Soviet Union would be very angry to protest to itself and demand the return of the fighter plane, and they would transfer the pressure to the Americans synchronously to see what the Americans would do, and if the Americans did not agree to their request, they would send the fighter back to the Soviets, after all, Belikov defected at that time, and the MiG-25 was asked to go back by the Soviets, and it was the same this time.

"Okay, I got it." Musha'af said: "We also dismantled a complete engine, this engine, are we going to send it to the Eastern countries for study?" ”

Su-27 is a good thing, in later generations, when the Soviet Union collapsed, Eastern countries imported a large number of Su-27, and developed into the J-11 family of Eastern countries, and now, the Su-27 was handed over to the United States, in exchange for a large amount of benefits with the Americans, and at the same time, it almost blocked the road of later generations of Eastern countries, and Eastern countries will not use a fighter that has been completely understood by the United States.

Thinking of this, Mhammad has some regrets, according to history, Zuyev defected in a MiG-29, who knows, he changed to a more advanced Su-27, and he has no other way but to use it to exchange benefits with the United States, and use the Su-27 to get the production technology of the F110, which is absolutely worth it.

Although the technology seems to be in the hands of the Americans, there are more opportunities for the Americans to spit it out step by step, and Pakistani technicians will gradually have more say in the matter, until finally, this engine will completely become their own engine.

TF-41 is the foundation, relying on this engine to further increase the strength, solve the heart problem, and copy the Tomcat fighter together with the Eastern countries, the progress will be more rapid.

As for the AL-31 engine, it is different from the American engine idea, and there is no need to spend effort on this, first continue to work on the additional model of TF41, and at the same time study the technology of F110, and finally understand F110 thoroughly is the key.

Therefore, this engine naturally has other uses, and Mhammad has long thought about it, and when he secretly dismantled it, he gave it to another country that needed it the most.

Germany! Relying on the RD33, Pakistan has established a close military cooperation relationship with Germany, and then using this AL31 engine, it can get the technology of the Leopard 2 tank's more main fire control system! The core components of the fire control system such as infrared thermal imaging devices can be independently produced in Pakistan, which will further improve the level of armor development in Pakistan!

Karachi.

Although the weather is already very cold, the work of the shipyard here has not stopped, and it has been carried out in an intense and orderly manner, in fact, even when the Indian aircraft carrier formation is moving and the Indian ground forces are trying to rush over, the engineers here are still working.

In their eyes, there is only this aircraft carrier!

After saying goodbye to Arnold, Mhammad returned to Karachi to check on the progress.

Every time he saw the aircraft carrier in the dock, Mhammad had infinite expectations, and now, the aircraft carrier has completed the rust removal work at the bottom and has come down from the dock.

The dock is mainly used to build the ship, when the hull is built, you can get down from the dock, pull aside for outfitting, and save the dock to the greatest extent, after all, the dock is also quite valuable and limited resources.

After the dock is vacated, it will build oil tankers for Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan's shipbuilding industry has also embarked on a healthy development track.

This aircraft carrier, in addition to the exterior rust, painting and other work, the interior was also operated on, the back deck was cut, a new boiler was put in, and the re-welding was completed.

And what Mhammad needed most, the bow of the ship was equipped with a jumping deck, but it never started. Mhammad came over this time, mainly because the shipyard reported that after many studies, equipped with the jumping deck, it is impossible to use the catapult, and the two cannot be used at the same time!

Mahmad frowned suddenly, in fact, there is really no aircraft carrier doing this, he just put it up on a whim, and now, it has been denied by the engineers! (To be continued......)
