Thinking of this, Mhammad suddenly decided to make a mistake, anyway, the other party thinks so, and he will continue to make it up to fool them, anyway, it is impossible for them to go to the Soviets for verification.

"Yes, a double-hull submarine with a reserve buoyancy of 30 percent and a maximum depth of 300 meters." Mhammad said: "All the statistics are not lower than those of supporters. In particular, their achievements in silence are very outstanding, and the noise of this new diesel-electric submarine is less than ninety decibels. ”

The biggest difference between Soviet submarines and Western submarines is that the Soviet Union uses a double-hull structure, the outside is a non-pressure-resistant shell, and the inside is a pressure-resistant shell. However, another advantage is that this submarine is very strong. After all, the outside is a non-pressure-resistant shell, and it's okay to hit it, so the Soviet nuclear submarine with a double-hull structure, during the Cold War, often played underwater hide and seek with American submarines, and from time to time a crazy Ivan came, if the two sides really collided, it was the American submarine that was injured, and the single-hull submarine was a pressure-resistant shell, as long as it hit it, once it cracked, it was a major accident.

Until now, Mhammad has not said that it is a Soviet submarine, and he said it casually.

"How much money are you going to make?" Ambassador Edward asked Mhammad.

Until now, all the ships that Pakistan has bought are second-hand and cheap, and these supporters are class. It's completely new, and the price is definitely going to go up a bit. Although it is not certain whether it is sold in China or not, let's listen to the price given by Pakistan first. If the price is right, you can negotiate, if it is not suitable, then forget it.

"We were going to invest 200 million to buy four such submarines." Mhammad said.

Two hundred million! That's 50 million each, which is a good price! It seems that President Muhammad is still self-aware on this point! Edward thought in his heart that if it was 200 million for Britain to build four. The British side would definitely agree.

"Still." Mhammad changed his tone and said, "We decided to buy only one and build the remaining three ourselves." In this way, we could save a lot of money, so we decided to buy the first one for 50 million dollars. Three ships in the back. Only importing the necessary equipment, $30 million per ship is enough, so the total amount of these four ships cannot exceed $140 million. ”

At this price, Mhammad has already said very realistically, after all, Mhammad's asking price is too high. The British feel that there is no profit, so they will quit. At that time, Mhammad will no longer be able to go to the Soviets to buy submarines.

Just kidding, the Soviets sell the Su-27, that's no secret, buy their modern class, dreadnought, don't even think about it, the underwater steel monster, that is even more classified by them.

Perhaps, visiting the Soviet shipyards yourself, shocked the Western world, right? Mhammad could not resent the Western world and wanted to give Pakistan the most favorable opportunity, and even Mhammad felt that he was misfired.

"Mr. President, maybe you don't know." Ambassador Edward said: "The steel of the hull is very important for submarines to sail underwater, although your country's industry is progressing very rapidly, but I am afraid that it is impossible to produce qualified steel for submarines, which must withstand huge pressure and prevent the corrosion of seawater, and if you want to build your own submarines, even the steel needed for submarines needs to be purchased from our British and then transported, so that the cost will probably be higher." ”

Edward is not lying, the Supporter-class submarines are a high-strength steel developed by Britain itself, and Pakistan really cannot produce it on its own.

"We believe we can overcome these difficulties." "We will buy up to one, and the remaining three, and only buy the equipment inside the submarines," Mhammad said. ”

If before, Mhammad knew that he would definitely have to buy steel, but now that he has negotiated with the Soviet side, Pakistan can produce qualified high-strength steel by itself, and it is absolutely no problem to build a submarine that can dive to a depth of 300 meters!

"If you insist, then after the construction is made, we in the UK will not be responsible for the navigation accident caused by the poor performance of the pressure-resistant shell." Edward said.

"Your seriousness, our industry in Pakistan is fully capable of providing qualified steel." Mhammad said.

Looking at this stubborn president, Ambassador Edward shook his head again and again, but said nothing, the significance of this project is far more than the Type 82 destroyer, since the Pakistanis think so, then let them go, the project should be able to be achieved.

Originally, Ambassador Edward thought that this project would be enough to satisfy Britain, and in the face of a deteriorating financial situation, exporting a few submarines would earn a good foreign exchange, and the Royal Navy would definitely agree. However, Edward did not expect that the projects proposed by the Pakistani side would far exceed these.

"For your SC-5 Belfast heavy transport aircraft, we would like to purchase the entire production line and technology for production in Pakistan. "We can negotiate with SCHOTT on the specific amount of the contract, there is no market for this heavy transport aircraft in your country, but if we produce it, we are sure to sell it to many countries, and at the same time, we have a certain demand," Mhammad said. ”

Mhammad's words shocked Edward.

Heavy transport aircraft! This is a strategic force, and with heavy transport aircraft, equipment can be quickly transported to where it is needed.

The United States and the Soviet Union have their own specialized transport aircraft, for example, the An-124 transport aircraft of the Soviets has a take-off weight of more than 400 tons and a transport capacity of more than 150 tons, while the An-255 transport aircraft, which was improved by the An-124, has a carrying capacity of more than 200 tons!

The American C-5 transport aircraft of the same era was also capable of carrying more than a hundred tons.

In terms of transport capacity, fifty tons is a dividing line, which is the weight of a common tank, more than fifty tons, it is possible to transport tanks, and less than fifty tons, like the most common C-130, can transport a maximum of thirty tons, and it is impossible to transport main battle tanks.

As the empire on which the sun never sets, the British are also very proud, and Schott Brothers, based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, is also a giant in the aviation industry, it produces Britain's own military transport aircraft, the SC-5 "Belfast" heavy transport aircraft.

This transport aircraft, born after the Cold War, is the masterpiece of SCHOTT, which has been continuously improved since the prototype. For example, the first improved SC-5.10, which began production in 59, has a carrying capacity of 22 tons and a flight range of 5,000 kilometers.

Encouraged by SCHOTT, SCHOTT made new improvements with the use of large-diameter propellers, which allowed the aircraft to carry more fuel while carrying the same cargo weight, and the maximum take-off weight of the aircraft reached more than 113 tons. Designation SC-5.13.

Both of these are medium-sized transport aircraft, after all, there has been no breakthrough in the carrying capacity.

SCHOTT's improvements continued, with the last model being more powerful, with a newly designed wing combined with the RB178 and a T-shaped vertical tail with a maximum take-off weight of 190 tonnes and a maximum payload of 54 tonnes. This model, aimed entirely at the C-141, is also called SC-5.41 under the designation SC-5.41.

Unfortunately, this kind of strategic transport aircraft is closely related to the domestic political environment, in the domestic political competition, the dream of the Schott company was shattered, the British Royal Air Force only symbolically purchased ten planes, but spent most of the funds on the purchase of American transport planes, Britain's own dream of large jet transport aircraft buried in the hands of the domestic comprador class.

When the Falklands War began, the British suddenly discovered that they simply did not have transport aircraft that could transport main battle tanks.

The technology of the year is there, but the UK has no funds to continue to develop this heavy transport aircraft, if Pakistan can take over, maybe, this strategic transport aircraft can fly again in the blue sky!

Mhammad looked at the British ambassador in front of him, knowing that his proposal had no possibility for the other party to refuse.

Pakistan needs strategic transport aircraft, which is related to the projection of troops at a critical moment, in later generations, Huaxia is because the heavy transport aircraft was stuck in the neck, as a result, there are only a few large early warning aircraft, and Russia wants to order a batch, as a result, the Russian lion opened his mouth widely, and wanted to come a few knives as ruthlessly as Zai Asan, but unfortunately, Huaxia was not fooled, and when Russia wanted to raise prices, Huaxia canceled the contract.

This SC-5 "Belfast" heavy transport aircraft, if it continues to develop, has great potential. What Mhammad hopes to introduce is the SC-5.41 model, and it can continue to be developed to get a larger load.

Moreover, there are new engines that can be used in Pakistan, and the engine production line of F100 has begun to be put into production.

"Okay, this project, we can convey it to SCHOTT, if the project can be carried out, it will be beneficial for both of us." Edward said.

Of course, there are benefits, the company is taxed, and if the project is completed, some jobs may be arranged. (To be continued......)
