More cooperation intentions! Hearing Mhammad's words, everyone's eyes lit up.

At present, what the Soviet Union lacked most was foreign exchange, and if there had been sufficient foreign exchange, the reform in the Soviet Union would have been smoothly carried out long ago, and for the sake of foreign exchange, the Soviets could be regarded as trying all kinds of ways to borrow a lot from Western Europe, and in the end, they were almost caught in a vicious circle of borrowing and repaying interest.

If Pakistan can have some trade contacts with the Soviet Union, it will be of great benefit to the Soviet Union, even if the two sides are still in a confrontation last time, the Soviet Union hopes to sell nuclear reactors to Pakistan, but unfortunately in the end it is fruitless, if there is some economic cooperation between the two sides now, it will be beneficial to both sides.

Ogarkov frowned, now, what is there to show on the Soviet side? There are only arms. Pakistan does not look down on low-level arms, high-level ones, fearing Pakistan and disdains them, and the Soviet Union cannot export them.

The Su-27 fighter, which is almost the highest-end weapon that the Soviet Union can come up with, is of high value, but Pakistan is already equipped with Tomcat fighters, which must not be eye-catching.

"What do you want?" Marshal Ogarkov asked.

"It's mainly some basic industries." "For example, metallurgy, chemical industry, mechanical engineering. We hope to introduce your country's technology from your country and improve our domestic industrial level. ”

Pakistan's domestic industry, all aided by China, has completed a comprehensive industrialization project.

But now, a few years have passed, and many of these projects are beginning to show backwardness, after all, Huaxia's technology. It's all the technology of the 60s.

As long as it does not involve projects classified by the USSR, this ordinary basic industry, the Soviet side, of course, can provide.

"We are very willing to help Pakistan develop its industry." Gorbachev said: "What do you need? ”

"For specific projects, we will leave some people to discuss with you in detail." "For example, alloy steels with a yield strength of 850 MPa. ”

Mhammad spoke casually. It seems to be just an ordinary industrial steel, but Marshal Ogarkov's eyelids jumped wildly, is this still an ordinary industry?

If you want to have advanced national defense, you need to have advanced industry, why is the United States strong? That's because the U.S. has the highest industrial capacity in the world.

Although it is just an ordinary steel, there is a lot of knowledge in it, and the steel used on the ship has to travel in the waves. The hull of the ship is subjected to tremendous pressure, and this property of marine special steel, called yield strength, is mainly expressed in MPa (megapascals). General ships, such as oil tankers, bulk carriers, container ships and other civilian ships, use about 250MPa of steel is enough, and ordinary military ships also need about 300MPa. However, like aircraft carriers, submarines use steel. Among them, especially the steel used for the flight deck of the aircraft carrier, then very strong steel is required. At least 850MPa or more.

After all, the flight deck of an aircraft carrier, which has to constantly withstand the take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft, especially landing, is simply a hit! And when it takes off, that hot current. It's also a test.

At the same time, submarines need to sail underwater, and for every ten meters of descent, the pressure will increase by one atmosphere, even if it is three hundred meters. That's equivalent to thirty atmospheres, and ordinary steel will be squeezed flat.

Pakistan wants to rebuild its aircraft carrier, but it still has to import steel from the United States, which Mhammad spent a lot of effort to get.

Looking at the world, there are not many countries that can manufacture steel for aircraft carriers, and the best quality is the United States. The two types of steel HY-100 and HY-80 in the United States are the best steel for making aircraft carriers or nuclear submarines. In later generations, even the proud Gallic chicken, when building its own Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier, faced with the best steel in China, the yield strength is about 550MPa, and in desperation, HY-80 special steel was imported from the United States.

And the steel of the Soviets is also quite good, the Soviets are the best at it, is a special alloy steel with nickel, chromium and titanium high-temperature synthesis, the yield strength of this steel is the first in the world, up to 1000MPa!

Mhammad's deep impression, in later generations, Huaxia bought back the empty shell of the Varyag from Ukraine, this aircraft carrier in Ukraine, has been alone on the slipway for several years, did not do rust treatment at all, after getting back, and put it in Dalian for more than ten years, but there has been no rust, this aircraft carrier with steel, can naturally resist seawater corrosion! Moreover, military ships, in order to prevent being worried about magnetic torpedoes and mines, are to be demagnetized, ordinary warships need to be demagnetized before leaving the factory, and this warship, there is no such step at all, there is no magnetism, this kind of steel, is originally absolutely magnetic!

Of course, Mhammad knows the importance of this kind of steel, Pakistan wants to develop in the future, it will not work without this kind of high-strength steel, in the future grand plan of Mhammad, there will be nuclear submarines, aircraft carriers will also have, Pakistan has vast maritime rights and interests to protect, it is necessary to have this kind of high-strength steel.

"What do you want this steel for?" Ogarkov asked.

"Our industry needs." "If we want to build an oil pipeline, if we want to increase the oil pressure, we need high-strength steel, and we want to make all kinds of machinery and equipment, and we need high-strength steel," Mhammad said. ”

Muhammad just casually said that no matter how high the pressure of the oil pipeline is, it is impossible to have a pressure of several hundred atmospheres, this is just an excuse, after all, the real situation, both sides just know it.

Marshal Ogarkov frowned, this kind of steel, but top secret, if Pakistan directly imports steel, forget it, if you want to build such a steel industry in Pakistan, it will bring a lot of chain reactions.

"We in Pakistan have spared no effort to improve our industrial level." "We in Pakistan plan to invest tens of billions of dollars," Mhammad said. ”

Tens of billions of dollars! This amount of funds, although the huge red empire seems to be insignificant, but this amount is definitely not small.

Mhammad is focused, and he is reluctant to spend tens of millions of dollars on the British, and plans to buy the British's Type 82 destroyers with more than 10 million US dollars, and also use Argentina to suppress them. However, towards the USSR, Mhammad was generous.

It's not okay to be generous, this kind of thing, it can't be stolen, in later generations, Huaxia spent a lot of money to buy it from Russia in order to modify the aircraft carrier and build the aircraft carrier itself.

For example, Zhang Zhaozhong, director of the Strategic Fool Bureau, once introduced a situation: We want to build an aircraft carrier, so we will allocate the money to build an aircraft carrier. First of all, more than 40 million US dollars were used to start the shipyard, build roads, build docks, and build workshops, and when all these infrastructure facilities were completed, we found that we did not have the steel to build aircraft carriers!

(The style of the bureau has always been that the words are not shocking and endless.) At the beginning of the Gulf War, Baghdad had been hollowed out and the US military would have been caught in the vast sea of the Iraqi People's War. He also said that China does not have a fourth-generation aircraft, and it is a J-10 change, but as a result, as if it was a slap in the face, the J20 test flight took place a few days later. Everyone is welcome to watch the show. ）

Mhammad has been preparing all along, he has taken an unusual path, first has a carrier-based aircraft, then an aircraft carrier, first a scrapped aircraft carrier for training, and then accumulates strength, and slowly prepares to build his own aircraft carrier.

Although this road will be very difficult, but Mhammad has been preparing, and now, it is a reserve in advance, first buy the technology of steel for aircraft carriers!

"How much do you plan to invest in this high-strength alloy steel project?" Marshal Ogarkov asked.

In the final analysis, steel is only a basic industry, only steel, nothing can be done, whether it is an aircraft carrier or a nuclear submarine, it is a huge system engineering, so Ogarkov wants to know how sincere the Pakistani side is, if the price is enough, the technology can also be exchanged.

The Soviet Union was very short of money, and military reform and digital construction all required large investments, and it was worth it to export a steel technology in exchange for sufficient funds.

"We can pay about $300 million." "The alloy steel had to be high enough to yield and diamagnetic, and we needed to weld it," Mhammad said. If we can export all the equipment and open a factory in our Pakistan to manufacture it, we intend to invest about 500 million US dollars. Of course, in terms of price, we can also negotiate in detail. ”

Five billion dollars! Mhammad is enough to buy several advanced warships, and now, buying a kind of steel seems to be a loss, only Mhammad knows the absolute value! The price he bears is within a billion dollars!

After all, this is the only one, buy it with the United States? Wake up, Americans will never sell this technology. Wait for the collapse of the Soviet Union in the future? Mhammad is afraid that he will not be able to wait, because of the crossing of Mhammad and the disintegration of the Soviet Union, I am afraid that it will be delayed, and the manufacture of a warship will take several years, and Pakistan must prepare as soon as possible.

In the world financial market, Mhammad has already made a lot of money, and in the subsequent island countries, Mhammad will make another profit, and now, Pakistan will definitely not have a headache for money.

If the United States, which is on the other half of the world, knew about it, I don't know if it would scold Mhammad too much, and the United States would still have a butt of accounts waiting for Pakistan to pay back.

Five billion dollars! Hearing this price, sure enough, Gorbachev and Marshal Ogarkov glanced at each other, this price is already high enough, Pakistan is very sincere, this project, it can be signed completely! (To be continued......)
