"Our American friends helped us a lot in our fight against the Soviets." "We were given quite a lot of interest-free loans, and now that the war is over, it's time for us to pay off our American friends," Mhammad said. Sheikh, how much money can be taken out of our foreign exchange reserves and returned to our American friends? ”

Mhammad said solemnly, and Sheikh said: "Mr. President, now our foreign debt is $80 billion, and our annual gross national product is $50 billion, and we are actively trying to get out of this situation, but now that the war in Afghanistan has just ended, we need to continue to provide more food and more jobs in Afghanistan, and we are constantly investing money in our country." Now, our foreign exchange reserves are $300,000. I was just about to report to you that I need to borrow another foreign exchange from Saudi Arabia for emergencies. ”

Pakistan's external debt is 80 billion? Hearing this, even Robert frowned, how could Pakistan have so much foreign debt?

"How can it be $300,000?" Mhammad said: "I remember last month, there were still $800,000? ”

"We bought a batch of grain from Australia and spent $500,000." Sheikh said: "Our country has always been struggling to make ends meet. ”

Muhammad gritted his teeth, looked at Robert on the side, and said, "Mr. Ambassador, why don't we pay back $300,000 to your country first, and then we can find a way to do the rest?" ”

$300,000! You owe 20 billion! Hearing this number, and looking at the two people playing double reeds in front of him, Robert finally remembered the domestic evaluation, this Mhammad is really a profiteer!

"Your country is a big country in South Asia, with foreign exchange reserves. How could it be only three hundred thousand dollars? Robert said, "What about your gold reserves?" You can also use gold reserves to offset it! ”

Fool whom? With such a small amount of foreign exchange reserves, if there is a financial turmoil, your country's economy will not collapse? Robert, of course, will not be fooled, and immediately retorted, since there is no foreign exchange reserves, then just settle it with gold! Don't say that your country doesn't even have gold reserves! Otherwise. The rupee you issue is a piece of waste paper!

"Alas, it's dragged on the burden of Afghanistan, there is no way." "We have been fighting the Soviet Union for eight years, and our national strength has long been lost, and we all rely on outside aid," Mhammad said. Foreign exchange reserves are almost exhausted, and there is still so much foreign debt, and this little gold reserve is ready to be used to deal with inflation. If it is given to you, then our economy will collapse at any time. So be it. We have just discovered a gold mine in Afghanistan, and the annual gold production is half a ton! What do you think about us using this gold mine to pay off your debts? ”

Half a ton of gold? That's less than five million dollars, so that's one hundred or eight billion dollars. How many years will it take? The expression on Robert's face was getting uglier and uglier, and he knew it. Today is definitely going to be in vain!

$30,000, do you want to eat? Seeing Robert leave with a very ugly face, the sheikh forcibly held back a smile until the other party left the presidential palace and the sheikh couldn't help but laugh at the same time. Xiang Hamad asked: "Mr. President, will the Americans be annoyed and angry if we do this?" ”

Debts to pay back, that's a matter of course, now. Pakistan has always been in debt, and now Pakistan has enough ability to repay its debts, and Mhammad still does this, so that the Sheikh can't guess.

"We can delay the Americans' debts, and when they do, maybe the Americans will forgive our debts." "If we pay off all the debts of the Americans, it will make the Americans wary of us, thinking that our rapid economic development will threaten the hegemony of the Americans," Mhammad said. ”

Drag it out later! Mhammad, who came from later generations, of course, knew about the major events that happened in later generations, Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, and the intervention of the US-led multinational forces, only by controlling oil, can the world's dollar system be protected. Moreover, with the end of the Cold War, the ambitions of the Americans began to expand gradually. Mhammad has long had a litany of plans for Americans to forgive their debts. If you can get rid of it, why pay it back now? This 18 billion yuan, used in domestic economic construction, can make the country's economic development faster!

And now, Pakistan is paying off all its debts without saying a word, which can only make the Americans realize that Pakistan is already an economic power, which the United States does not allow.

So, you can drag it out!

However, the arrival of the American ambassador today has sent a bad signal, the Americans did not urge before, but now they come to collect debts because they have seen Pakistan's achievements in aviation! Pakistan can already make its own fighters, and the Americans will definitely try to strangle Pakistan's aviation industry in the cradle!

Mhammad knows that he must be firm, even if he is at a standoff with the Americans, he must unswervingly develop his own industry!

The urine nature of the Americans is like this, when you don't have it, they will monopolize you, interfere with your independent research and development in every possible way, use all kinds of means to obstruct it, and throw bait while suppressing it. Only when you have it, will you immediately change your face and realize that you already have the capital to fight against him.

Back then, wasn't that the Yunshi of Huaxia like this? When the Yun 10 has successfully taken off, the United States is anxious, the president of the McDonnell Douglas company personally came to Huaxia, vowed to jointly produce the latest McDonnell Douglas aircraft with Huaxia, as a result, the Yun 10 project was stifled, since then, the dream of large aircraft ended, in the sky of China, flying civil airliners, are the United States and Europe.

Of course, Mhammad will not make such a mistake, independently developed and unswervingly identified, especially for national defense!

With the end of the war in Afghanistan, his eyes have been more long-term, and the future of Pakistan is to dominate South Asia!

Spring has come, this is a thriving season, the capital of China, the international airport, a sea of jubilation.

Countless Young Pioneers, holding flowers, watched the plane slowly glide to the tarmac, this plane is the United States Air Force One!

The cabin door opened, the ramp car had already driven over, the red carpet was laid, and in the midst of the welcome fever, US President Bush and his wife Barbara appeared in front of everyone.

This is not the first time, the elder Bush is quite familiar with China, in the 70s, the elder Bush served as the director of the US liaison office in China, and in his spare time, he often rode a bicycle and shuttled through the streets and alleys of the capital.

Therefore, the elder Bush can be regarded as a Chinese expert, and this time, he has become the president of the United States, and when he comes to China again, he has a feeling of revisiting his old place.

Huaxia sent a foreign minister and a premier of the State Council to the airport to greet the US president and his entourage, and the scene was lively and grand.

At this time, China was still very close to the West in terms of political position, after all, the two sides were still in the honeymoon period, and there was the common enemy of the Soviet Union, but unfortunately, this honeymoon period was about to end.

At the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, Chairman Huaxia and chief architect of reform and opening up had a cordial meeting with Bush Sr., and the scene was still in a friendly atmosphere.

After greeting the friendship between the two sides for a long time, finally, it began to get to the point.

"We have always been very worried about China's armaments." Bush Sr. said: "Especially the Air Force, your equipment is not good; in the past, we mentioned the plan of joint cooperation, but unfortunately it died, but now, we, the United States, are willing to improve the fighters for your Air Force and upgrade the most advanced Jian-8 fighters in your country." ”

In the past, the United States hoped to arm the PLA with a full set of American equipment, including first-line F-15 fighters, various advanced ground combat vehicles, and so on, but it needed to be commanded by the staff of the United States in the event of a war, which was equivalent to depriving China of its independent national defense, and Huaxia would certainly not agree.

After that, even if the military cooperation between the two sides was temporarily cold, now, the elder Bush mentioned the military cooperation between the two sides, this time to help China upgrade its fighters, and did not attach more political factors.

Hearing this, the minister of the Third Machine Department, who was sitting in a corner, was immediately overjoyed, this is good news!

At the beginning, Grumman intended to upgrade their fighters, and if the J-8 improved the fire control system, it would definitely become the most important fighter in China! Unfortunately, at that time, it was said that the country could already produce advanced radars, especially the president of Pakistan who swore that even Pakistani fighters would use this radar, and as a result, the project was abandoned.

After that, the supporting radar was developed and equipped with the J-8 fighter, which did give the J-8 the ability to look down and shoot down, but the lack of supporting missiles still made the performance of the fighter not be effectively played. Now, Shen Fei has completely lagged behind Cheng Fei, Cheng Fei's new project has begun to test flights, and Shen Fei still only has a high-altitude and high-speed J-8 support façade, if this phenomenon is not changed, then Shen Fei will gradually lose the trust of the military, and Cheng Fei will have a greater say in the army!

This is what he doesn't want to see, and it's also what many supervisors and leaders don't want to see, after all, he came out of Shen Fei in the first place!

"We don't make any additional requirements, it's all about helping your aviation industry progress." Bush Sr. said: "General Dynamics is very willing to retrofit your fighter jets, and they have come up with a new plan. (To be continued......)
