Chapter 407: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole

In the face of the Soviet Union's co-optation, the United States also began to lower its price and provide Pakistan with a nuclear power plant at a preferential price, planned in the east of Peshawar, so that in addition to supplying power to the industrial areas in northern Pakistan, it can also supply enough electricity to northern Afghanistan, which is close to Pakistan.

If the plant is stable, Pakistan will build a second nuclear power plant in the south, near Karachi, to meet the demand for electricity in the south.

The development of Pakistan's economy is inseparable from the guarantee of electricity, and these two sets of power stations will make Pakistan's economic development more rapid.

Pakistan's industry has developed vigorously, and the ore mined from northern Afghanistan has been transported to Pakistan by road, smelted in factories in Pakistan, and the land communication arteries between Pakistan and China will soon be completed, which will greatly promote the cooperation between Pakistan and China.

Active in the mountains of northern Afghanistan are not only Afghans, but also other companies, such as the American company Lawn Industries, which has contracted one of the mines.

When the Afghan Liberal Government lacks sufficient sources of funding, contracting out mines to others in order to obtain sufficient funds is also a necessary measure for various governments in the early stages of development.

Moreover, it could help the Afghan Liberal Government and sway the attitude of the United States, and when the Americans are also mining in northern Afghanistan, the American president naturally has to consider the interests of these Americans.

Compared to mining elsewhere, the scale here is larger, and the high-powered mining equipment imported from the United States is several people tall and can fill a dump truck with just one shovel. The Americans also took the most direct approach. The ordinary sand and gravel in the upper part of the mine are stripped away, just enough to be used to bridge the road, and then the ore inside is mined again, eliminating the need for mining holes.

These are copper mines, and at the same time, are accompanied by copper mines. There is also a rare metal.

The ore is mined and sent to a joint venture U.S.-Pakistani plant in northern Peshawar to be smelted into copper, while the rare metals are shipped to Karachi, loaded onto freighters, and shipped back to the U.S. for smelting.

In charge of the mines, there are some Americans.

Huge electric shovel. The mine was dug up, shoveled onto a large dump truck, and the whole construction site was bustling.

Osama used a telescope to observe the place carefully, and after receiving the order of President Muhammad, they had already thoroughly investigated the surrounding area, the people in their own government. There is no direct channel for communication with the United States at all, so. Osama finally set his sights on the Americans here.

In particular, the mine is located on the border with Turkmenistan, and the wooden house where President Muhammad met is only 10 kilometers away, in clear weather. Set up a high-magnification military telescope on this side, and you can see the situation over there.

So, Osama finally locked his suspicious gaze here.

Looking at the bustling construction site, Osama spat at the ground fiercely. said, "Let's go, go down and have a look." ”

Osama and his entourage, riding in a pickup truck, walked towards the construction site, and the number plate hanging in front of them was the number plate of the Afghan government.

Seeing the car coming, the person in charge of the construction site, Bill, immediately greeted him.

"Minister Osama, welcome to this visit." Bill said to Osama.

In addition to fighting, Osama also has an identity in the Afghan Free Government, the Minister of Economy of the Afghan Free Government, and these Americans came to mine the mine, which was a contract negotiated with Osama.

"Well, someone reacted, saying that you are illegally mining here, I'll come and take a look." Osama said.

Illegal mining? Bilton was stunned for a moment, now that the economy of the free government is starting to improve, is it because they want to take back the mining rights of the mines? Bill's face instantly turned into a smile again: "How is that possible, we all mined according to the original agreement." ”

"We're going to start a month-long clean-up operation here, and during that time, please stop mining for the time being." Osama said.

"How can this be!" "It's a violation of our freedom," Bill said. Now that we have a contract, we have the right to mine here! ”

"You can go through the diplomatic department and protest to us, always, we have to check." Osama said, turning around and leaving.

Watching Osama go, Bill had anger on his face, these Afghan buns, in the past, they relied on the support of the United States to keep them from falling behind in the battle against the Soviet Union, and now, as soon as the situation has improved, they have begun to deal with the Americans, damn it!

Wait, is there any special circumstance that they ordered the closure of the mines here for no reason? Thinking of this, Bill immediately made up his mind.

Three days later, late at night.

The construction site has been stopped, and most of the workers have returned to Peshawar, Pakistan, to stay in the city, where only a few guards remain.

"Boom, boom." In the valley in the distance, there was a roar, the sound of an engine! There are cars to pass!

There is only their own mining near here, and there is no other fleet at all! Could this voice be coming from the direction of Turkmenistan?

Pakistanis, there must be collusion with the Soviets!

Remembering what was observed last time, the leaders of the two countries are meeting in secret, and some ulterior agreement must have been reached! Bill quietly came out of the mine dormitory where he was staying, and headed in the direction where the roar was coming from.

After climbing the hill here, Bill took out a telescope and something similar, which is the most advanced night vision device in China, through this thing, you can see very clearly in the dark night, in the dark green fluorescence, you can see, it is a Scud missile launcher! Although the other party's car body is covered with a camouflage net, the night vision device can easily penetrate the camouflage net and see what it looks like inside.

A large four-axle vehicle with wide tires, this is a typical army car, and on top, there is such a cylindrical thing, it must be a missile! Looking at the length, there is no second type except for the Scud. The four corners, as well as the hydraulic outriggers, confirmed Bill's judgment even more.

The Soviets proposed to destroy their medium-range ballistic missiles with the United States, but in fact, they were secretly selling their own medium- and short-range missiles! This Scud missile launcher must have been sold to Pakistan by the Soviets!

No wonder you want to shut down your own mines! The mountain road on this side is paved very wide, and you can let that kind of multi-axle missile launcher come over!

What is Pakistan going to do? I actually want to have my own ballistic missiles! This is absolutely not allowed by the United States, report it to the country immediately!

Bill picked up the satellite communication terminal and contacted the country directly, and at the same time, begged the flight squadron here to immediately dispatch and intercept this missile vehicle!

"That Bill, sure enough, is an American spy!" Osama's side, a person said: "The last time the news was leaked, he must have notified him, I think, let's just kill him!" ”

"Kill him? The American is still our friend for the time being, and we can't touch him, let us know that it was he who leaked the secret, and in the future, maybe it will be useful. Osama said.

North of Jalalabad, airbase.

A large MH-53 helicopter took off from the airfield, and all the people on the plane were Americans.

These helicopters were given by the Americans in order to search for the wreckage of Soviet fighters, and after that, the Free Army of Afghanistan had its own pilots, and the Americans mainly served as instructors, and like now, the Americans personally flew the fighters to take off, and moreover, the Americans did not notify the Afghan side, almost just came out of the dormitory, and directly started the helicopter.

With the roar, the helicopter drove quickly towards the northern mountains, and they couldn't wait to get there at once, so that the car could not slip away!

What does the Scud missile launcher, which departed from the base in Turkmenistan and came all the way in the direction of Pakistan, represent? If the USSR wants to develop its economy, it has to be financed, and where will the money come from? In addition to agreements to compete for nuclear power plants, there is also the sale of arms!

Scud missiles, which have been sold to many countries, have long been spread around the world, even if Pakistan has Scud missiles, it cannot be said that the Soviet Union sold them, and the Soviet Union can still make a lot of money from them!

So, the Americans moved very quickly, and under their noses, Pakistan dared to do this, it was too much!

By the time the helicopter flew over, the east had turned white, and the car had driven to a remote valley, where it stopped to avoid possible reconnaissance satellites during the day, and then continued at night.

Stop this car!

The American pilot, operating the bulky MH-53, landed in an open field at one end of the valley. At the same time, in the cabin, several American soldiers with M16s ran out.

They are responsible for the safety of these pilots, all from the special forces of the United States, and at critical times, they can even carry out such tasks as they are now.

With four axles, large off-road tires, this is definitely a Scud missile launcher! Moreover, from a distance, the top of this car, still carrying such a large cylinder, the front part is pointed, it is definitely a Scud!

Several bearded Afghans got out of the car, and they were just about to get down to rest, when they were greeted by the encirclement of the Americans.

"What are you doing?" The Afghan asked.

"Hold your head and squat down!" The U.S. GIs were on the lookout to take the Afghans under control.

Then, they walked forward quickly, lifted the camouflage net on the car, and everyone was stunned.

Damn, where is this what Scud missiles! It's a piledriver! Damn, who brought this intelligence? (To be continued......)
