"The Iranians had already paid the full amount." Mhammad said.

The Americans should not talk about the original cost, just like the Tomcat fighters of the Iranians, they have already paid, the Americans played hooligans, did not give it to others, they used it themselves, and now, what do they say about the original cost.

The meaning of Mhammad's words is very clear, 50 million is definitely not a lot, and Pakistan can accept it, it must be the Standard-2 missile.

On the Kidd-class destroyers, there is a twin-mounted missile launcher in the front and rear, 24 spare bombs in the front and 44 spare bombs in the rear, adding up to almost 70 in the front and rear, and each ship has 100 spare bombs, which can be used for a period of time.

Moreover, with these missiles, the Pakistani side can comprehensively develop an anti-aircraft missile suitable for Pakistan by combining the advantages and disadvantages of the Patriot and the standard missile.

Mhammad's small abacus is quite good, but unfortunately, the Americans on the opposite side will obviously not let Mhammad's good wishes succeed.

"I'm sorry, we in the United States have no intention of exporting missiles, those missiles are very complicated to maintain, and we need a constant temperature warehouse, we in the United States will store them for you first, and when you need them, we will complete the testing for you and deliver them to you, so that you can use them at any time."

Hearing Arnold's words, Mhammad's eyes slowly turned cold, the Americans originally fought this idea!

"You only sell us guns, not bullets? No, or did we pay for the bullets, and you saved it for us first? Mhammad said.

"This is not a bullet, it is the most sophisticated anti-aircraft missile, especially sea-based, very afraid of the erosion of salt at sea. Frequently fails. Arnold said: "We propose this approach for your sake. ”

"Hmph." The expression on Mhammad's face was angry: "We in Pakistan have always been very sincere to our friends, and what we hate the most is deception. It's hard for us to accept! ”

Seeing the expression on Arnold's face that was red and white, he finally said goodbye and left, and Mushaaf on the side said: "President Mhammad, will they be angry and angry when we treat the Americans like this?" ”

"Of course not, they just didn't achieve their goal." "I'm curious," said Mhammad, "why did the Americans suddenly decide to sell us the Kidd class? ”

For this kind of initiative to send to the door, it is necessary to rip off the bamboo. Of course, Mhammad is not satisfied, and if they want to reach an agreement, it will definitely come again.

"Mr. President, the British Ambassador asks for a meeting." Just then, the secretary came in and reported.

Just sent off the American ambassador, and the British ambassador is here again? Mhammad has just returned from the Soviet Union, and the atmosphere has not yet taken a breath. It's just going to be busy.

Ambassador Edward slowly walked in, the pride of the British. made him have an inexplicable confidence, and he walked very calmly, but from between those eyebrows, a trace of sorrow seemed to reveal his inner apprehension at this time.

"President Hammad. I'm here to talk to you about our deal. Ambassador Edward said: "We, the Royal Navy, after careful consultation, have decided to accede to your request for $10 million at the price you have offered. Exported to you our Type 82 destroyers. ”

Ten million dollars! This is the bottom line proposed by Mhammad at the beginning, and now, the British actually agreed to the price proposed by the Pakistani side, which is almost the price of cabbage, and asked for the Type 82 destroyer!

What's going on? The British are not going to open their mouths anymore? Mhammad's mind was constantly thinking, and at the same time, he said: "Ten million dollars, this includes all the technical information of the sea javelin above, and enough ammunition." ”

"Yes, exactly as you wanted." Ambassador Edward said: "In this way, you already have two Type 42 destroyers that you have purchased from Argentina, plus our Type 82, three destroyers, which is just enough to form a scale." However, if you really have a demand, we can export a Sea Javelin production line to you at a price of 50 million US dollars. ”

Export sea javelin production line! It's something the British are proud of! Moreover, with 50 million US dollars, the asking price is indeed not high.

However, in Mhammad's considerations, the technology of the Sea Javelin has fallen behind, and now it is only a matter of solving the problem of whether there is or not, and it is indeed not cost-effective to spend 50 million US dollars to buy a production line, it is better to use 5 million US dollars to buy a large number of missiles as a stockpile, and if it is the standard missiles of the Americans, Mhammad will definitely ask for it unceremoniously.

"We just need the technical data." "We are very much looking forward to joining our navy as soon as possible," Mhammad said. ”

"Of course, as long as we make a deal, after you pay the bill, you can come to our Vice Admiral at any time to take over this warship." Edward said: "Unfortunately, we can't export our production line. ”

"Some of your country's other weapons, we are also interested." Now, the British lack of funds, and the Sea Javelin production line can be sold, and it just so happened that Mhammad remembered some other things from the British, and if the price was right, he could buy them.

"Okay, what do you need?"

"Supporter-class conventional submarines, we need to have four." "The first one is built at your shipyard, and the remaining three are built at our own shipyard," Mhammad said. ”

Supporter-class conventional submarines!

With the end of the war in Afghanistan, as India has begun to gradually weaken, and with the gradual increase of Pakistan's national strength, Pakistan has finally begun to shift the focus of national defense to the navy.

In the Navy, in addition to surface ships, underwater also needs to be developed, and now the Pakistani Navy is about to have two TR-1700 submarines.

For Pakistan, which has a large number of maritime interests to maintain, the submarine force is also a force that needs to be developed, although Mhammad wants to develop nuclear submarines more, but this is by no means an overnight achievement, in the current situation, the Pakistan Navy's conventional submarine force can only be expanded.

The British Supporter-class conventional submarines are a good choice for Pakistan, which is a large ocean-going submarine with an underwater displacement of about 2,500 tons, and adopts an elongated drop-shaped hull and cross-shaped stern rudder, which greatly reduces the underwater navigation resistance; The bow elevator adopts a folding type, all the devices on the submarine control tower can be automatically raised and retracted, and all openings and flow holes can be closed, and the boat has good maneuverability and maneuverability.

In later generations, with the end of the Cold War, the British decided to retain only the nuclear submarine force and sold all such submarines to Canada.

Hearing Mhammad's words, Edward scratched his head a little, after all, this is the most advanced conventional submarine in Britain! Moreover, unlike the Type 82, the Type 82 is an old ship of the British, which has been equipping the troops for almost a decade. And the Supporter-class submarine, that's the latest British submarine! Construction of the first Supporter began in November 1983 at the Barrow plant, it was launched in December 1986 and is still in the sea trials stage!

In later generations, in 93, the four Supporter-class submarines were considered to be complete, but unfortunately the times were not good, and in just a few years, the British decided to eliminate the conventional submarines and finally sell these submarines.

That was later, and now, the British side still treats this submarine as a treasure, and moreover, it is planned to build a twelve!

If Pakistan only bought submarines, Edward could have agreed, but now, the Pakistani side only buys one, and the last three, but they are built in Pakistan's own shipyards!

This made Edward hesitate for a moment.

Mhammad knew that he could not show how much he wanted to own such a submarine at this time, and if he expressed his desire to have it, the British would definitely open their mouths.

"We already have two TR-1700s, and, in addition to your country's submarines, we also look at submarines from other countries." Mhammad said.

Originally, Mhammad meant that the German submarine technology was also very good, and since the era of World War II, Germany's submarines have been very powerful, and Pakistan has many options.

However, hearing this sentence of Mhammad, Edward in front of him could not keep his composure, and he asked in surprise: "You also visited the flounder of the Soviets?" ”

Flounder of the Soviets? Flounder is a nickname, a more commonly used name in later generations, called the Kilo-class submarine, which is the NATO code name, and the Soviets themselves named it, the Type 877 submarine.

This is the Soviet Ruby Central Maritime Design Bureau designed in the 70s of the new diesel-electric submarine, the first boat in 82 years when the delivery, due to the use of many advanced technology of the Soviet Union, this underwater displacement of 3,000 tons of large submarine, the performance is also very good, in particular, this submarine after all aspects of careful design, the silent performance has been greatly improved, in later generations, but is called the ocean black hole.

When Mhammad said this, the other party actually mentioned the Kilo-class submarine, and Mhammad's eyes suddenly lit up, it turned out that this was the case!

I went to the USSR myself, and by the way, I looked at the shipbuilding industry of the other side, that's all, this is an exception for the Soviets to let themselves see, however, the Western world misunderstood, thinking that the Soviets, who lacked foreign exchange, even began to sell their warships to Pakistan, which is not in the interests of the West. Therefore, the Americans began to sell the Kidd class to themselves, and the British also agreed to the transaction price of the Type 82 for 10 million US dollars, after all, if they bought warships from the Soviet Union, the British Type 82 would hardly find a second buyer.
