559 Coup d'état in Bangladesh
"Bai Xue, you've worked hard." Mhammad stood next to him, looking at Bai Xue, who had lost a lot of weight, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
In the past few years, Bai Xue has dedicated all her youth to the cause of Pakistan's national defense, and in the best time for a girl, she did not fall in love, but came here and paid in obscurity.
"It's not hard." Bai Xue said: "This system has now been developed, and the next step is to install it on a warship for testing." When this system is perfected, if the financial conditions allow, we may build a few ships in the country. ”
For Bai Xue, all this, not only for Pakistan, but also for his own motherland, the navy's shipborne air defense system, has always been a difficulty, now, the domestic 112 destroyer has been put into service, the use of the sea Sidewinder point defense system, the last time there was a dispute in the South China Sea, or Pakistan's aircraft carrier formation dispatched, it can be regarded as a fight for the field.
The Aegis system is also urgently needed by Huaxia, but if it is only carried out by Huaxia, it will involve a lot of financial support, and now, Huaxia is not able to take into account so many aspects, the economic capacity is limited, and only by relying on Pakistani investment can the project progress.
This is an international cooperation project, Huaxia has provided a lot of technical experts to Pakistan to jointly assist in the development, and when the development is successful, the two sides are sharing technology.
Now that the most complex signal processing has been completed, it's time to load it on the warship and put it to the test.
Now the Karachi shipyard in Pakistan is building Pakistan's own destroyers, which are mainly designed to resemble the 052-class destroyers of the Huaxia. Part of the design has been changed, and the displacement of this destroyer is still relatively small, and if it wants to become an advanced vertical launch ship-to-air missile Aegis system, the displacement must be increased, preferably to more than 8,000 tons. in order to achieve a higher cost-effectiveness ratio.
And now, when Bai Xue mentioned sea trials, Mhammad immediately thought that the hull of the ship could be built and loaded into it for testing, but the design of this large destroyer was a serious challenge.
"A test ship can be built first." Bai Xue said: "All kinds of new equipment of the navy can be tested on the test ship first. ”
Test ship! Advanced countries all have test ships. This is a necessary equipment for the development of naval equipment.
Hearing Bai Xue's words, Mhammad nodded: "Okay, then let's start a test ship first, and on the test ship, test our Aegis system!" ”
The test ship must have an adequate power supply, after all, the power consumption of the Aegis system is huge, and. There must also be enough space, except for the antenna. electronic equipment, but also transmitters.
However, the construction of the test ship will also take a long time, and the testing of this air defense system should be carried out as soon as possible. Muhammad suddenly remembered something and said, "Simply, let's refit a Kidd-class and become an Aegis battleship!" ”
The Kidd-class destroyer is now the largest destroyer in the Pakistan Navy. The full load displacement exceeded nine thousand tons! Although the United States put forward harsh conditions, such as the above standard anti-aircraft missiles are only equipped with a few and most of the missiles ordered by Pakistan are stored in the United States, Pakistan still agreed.
After all, the performance of this warship is still relatively modest, moreover, the potential for modification is very large, although Pakistan has only obtained a small number of standard missiles, it will still be of great help to the development of Pakistan's anti-aircraft missiles.
Now, the conversion into an Aegis warship is the fastest test and the means to put into service as soon as possible, and after the successful refit, the other three can be converted into two, leaving only one to use the original standard missile, and there is no fear that the United States will impose sanctions on itself in the future and will not be able to obtain new missiles.
The Kidd-class destroyers have a lot of reserve power and can also provide more power.
"That's for the best. In addition, the domestic imitation of missiles, the progress is also very smooth, now there is only the multi-assembly of the silo launch method, the West uses the hot launch, this launch method, the need to arrange a complex wake channel, but also to prevent the missile in the launch of the explosion and damage to other missiles, triggering a chain reaction, so, we think it is better to use the cold launch method. Bai Xue continued.
Four-sided phased array radar, plus a large number of vertically launched missiles, is the basis of anti-saturation attack, the United States Mk41 launcher is very advanced, almost all the naval equipment in service, standard missiles, Sea Sparrow missiles, Harpoon missiles, can be launched from the inside, the versatility is very high, however, this device is also dangerous, once the missile has been energized, but not launched, it will be a time bomb, and in case of explosion, it will hurt the surrounding missiles, triggering a chain of explosions, the whole ship may sink.
So, the American MK41 device is very complex, and in comparison, the cold launch is simpler.
A cold launch, like a torpedo, uses high-pressure air to eject the missile and wait until it leaves the launch tube before igniting.
In this way, even if the missile fails, it will not affect the launcher, and the missile launch tube is not placed vertically, and there is an inclination, so that when the missile is ejected, even if it is not successfully ignited, it will fall into the sea and will not affect the warship.
Mhammad nodded, the current Bai Xue is not only the electronic engineer of the Aegis system, but also the chief engineer of the entire air defense system.
"Bai Xue, you are the mother of our shipborne air defense systems." Mhammad said.
"Really?" Bai Xue said: "Then you are the father of the shipborne air defense system?" After speaking, Bai Xue blinked, unspeakably naughty, and at this moment, it seemed that she had become a girl again.
"So we're exactly a couple?" Seeing Bai Xue so happy, Mhammad couldn't help but make a joke, as soon as he finished the joke, he felt that something was inappropriate, but she was a pure girl, and she was not married yet, this joke was a bit big.
Just after Mhammad finished saying this, Bai Xue suddenly leaned on Mhammad's body, and she couldn't say why she was so bold, and her ears felt a little hot.
Mhammad was stunned, what's going on? Worst! Mhammad's heart sank, this girl took it seriously.
Smelling the smell of the man in Mhammad's body, feeling the broad chest, at this moment, Bai Xue was intoxicated.
"Hold me, okay?" Bai Xue said.
Mhammad's hand, waving a few times in the air, slowly rested on the girl's back.
"Boom." Just then, the door suddenly opened, and Mhammad's adjutant walked in and hurriedly said to Mhammad: "President, there is an emergency in Bangladesh. ”
He suddenly stood up and watched President Muhammad put his arms around Chief Engineer Bai, how sweet it was... Oops, you bumped into someone you shouldn't have seen, right?
Naturally, Muhammad let go of Bai Xue and said, "Bai Xue, I would love to have a sister like you like this. ”
After saying that, Mhammad turned his head and walked away, he didn't dare to look at the disappointment in Bai Xue's eyes, and his mood was also chaotic.
Walking up to the adjutant, the adjutant reacted and said, "Mr. President, there has been a coup d'état in Bangladesh, and President Al Shad has been assassinated. ”
Coup! Mhammad's face changed: "Let's go, go back to the presidential palace." ”
Coup! In backward countries, whoever controls the army has absolute power, and coups are often controlled by the military, for example, in Pakistan, where Zia-ul-ulk, as chief of the army staff, staged a military coup and came to power himself.
But now, Bangladeshi President Al Shad originally came to power through a military coup, and although the wave of opposition to him in the country has been rising higher and higher, he has always been firmly in control of the army, so it is very difficult to overthrow his rule.
And now, Elshad has been assassinated!
Who did this to you? As long as you see who can get the most benefit after Elshad dies, Mhammad sat in the car, constantly thinking.
The biggest beneficiaries must be those politicians who are now not listening to the Elshad junta, among them, Sheikh Hasina, the eldest daughter of the separatist force in East Pakistan and the future president of Bangladesh, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, has been jumping the most.
In 75, Hasina's father and 15 relatives died in a military coup, and Hasina was on vacation in Germany and survived. After that, she and her husband lived in India for 6 years with 2 children. In February '81, Hasina returned to China as the chairman of the Bangladesh Awami League and began to enter the political arena of Bangladesh.
His father, the founding leader of Bangladesh, was not a good bird, and even wanted to have a president for life, and this kind of family politics is also the tradition of these underdeveloped countries, and the so-called democratic elections are just a joke, and they now keep talking about democracy, just to oust political opponents from power.
Now that Hasina has formed the "15-Party Alliance" headed by the People's League and is the leader, it can be said that the current demonstrations and opposition waves are all caused by her.
Thinking of this, Mhammad suddenly thought of another possibility, Hasina had lived in India for six years and had a close relationship with India's high-level officials, and now, the assassination of Arshad, could it be done by India? Hasina has come together with India, just like the East Pakistan split in the past, India supported East Pakistan, and now, the Indian government supports Hasina? (To be continued......)
