Chapter 246: A Visit to Germany

The country's economic strength determines the country's army building, and in later generations, Pakistan has always been at a disadvantage in the confrontation between Pakistan and India, precisely because Pakistan's comprehensive national strength is too poor.

Now, Mhammad is trying to find a way to improve Pakistan's economic strength, which is a difficult process, but no matter what, Mhammad will continue to move forward.

After consulting with the president, Mhammad set off for Europe.

Mhammad's first stop was Germany.

After the end of World War II, Germany, as the defeated country of World War II, was divided into east and west according to the agreement, and the Berlin Wall divided the whole of Germany. Since then, the Germans have endured endless suffering, and the economy of West Germany has been advancing in great strides, while East Germany, under the control of the Soviet Union, has not improved much.

In Europe, the Germans have always been known for their rigor, and this is fully applied to their industry, and Germany's mechanical technology is known all over the world.

Helmut Kohl, born in 1930, has experienced world wars, although he is now fifty years old, he is still a high-spirited man, with a height of more than 1.9 meters, which shows his majesty and uprightness, he is the new chancellor of Germany.

In later generations, when the Berlin Wall fell, he actively campaigned and finally achieved the reunification of Germany, which also made him gain huge political influence and became a celebrity at that time.

When Mhammad got off the plane, he saw that the German chancellor was the leader of the welcoming crowd, and he was immediately overjoyed that the chancellor was able to greet him in his busy schedule, showing that he valued himself.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, and I'm so honored." Mhammad shook Cole's hand. The two stood together, and Cole was a little taller than Mhammad.

"Pakistan is holding high the banner of resistance against the Soviets and helping the Afghan people rebuild their homeland, and we, the whole West, are very supportive." Cole said, "Madame is so beautiful. ”

Following Mahmad, Lilith came down with him. On this visit, Mhammad brought his wife with him.

Maybe other countries are just symbolically supporting the Americans, but Germany has a painful skin, how many families cannot be reunited because of the Berlin Wall, and Germany is also because of the Berlin Wall. As the chancellor of Germany, he always wants the merger of East and West Germany, and naturally hates the Soviet Union to the core.

And now, Pakistan is supporting Afghanistan and has fought countless air wars with the Soviet Union, which is a just war. Cole was very supportive. Moreover, he also had a hunch. Mhammad's current visit is of great significance.

Who is Mhammad? A high-ranking military officer who came out of the battlefield in Afghanistan, he personally founded the Free Army of Afghanistan and gave independence to northern Afghanistan, while in Pakistan, Mhammad defeated India. The capture of the Kashmir Valley was a brilliant operation under the auspices of Mhammad.

Even, the separatist activities that are being staged everywhere on the land of India are full of conspiracy, and the people in front of them. It's definitely inseparable!

Such a capable person, in the future, may become the president of Pakistan and hold the power of Pakistan, which Cole values very much, even now, Mhammad is the deputy general staff of the army, and he is already the first person under Zia-ul-ulk.

It can be said that Mhammad, that is on behalf of Zia-ul-Haq.

During the welcome ceremony at the airport, Mhammad got into the car and headed straight for the city hall in the center of Bonn.

It is a beautiful city with the Rhine flowing gently at the edge of the city, and the rolling hills on the east and west sides of the Rhine are covered with large areas of forest, and Prussian palace-like buildings can be seen everywhere.

The Bonn Town Hall is a Baroque building, built 700 years ago, with gilded walls, glittering reliefs, and simple floors, which have hosted many celebrities such as Charles de Gaulle, Kennedy, Annan, Queen Elizabeth and many others.

Now, Mhammad is stepping on the red carpet, and Lilith on the side is happily walking next to Mhammad, at this time, she is as noble as a princess.

In the past, Lilith only wanted to follow Mhammad, because he was a hero, and whether he was poor or rich, noble or humble, Lilith liked Mhammad.

And now, Mhammad has become the number two man in Pakistan, and Lilith is even happier.

"What your country is doing in Afghanistan is admired by the whole Western world." Cole said to Mhammad, who was seated.

"Afghanistan is a sovereign country, but it has been brutally invaded, and as a messenger of justice, we must correct this mistake," said Mhamad. ”

There is no so-called justice in the world at all, there is only power, and whoever has a hard fist is just, which is an eternal truth.

Again, the two sides praised each other for a few words, and finally got to the point.

"We want to help Afghanistan and drive out the Soviet aggressors, but on our eastern front, we have been deterred by India, India's armored forces, just on the border of our western front, can attack our territory at any time, India has been tied to the Soviet Union's chariot, and we are under a lot of pressure to invade us in the east while we are fighting on the western front." Mhammad said.

What Mhammad said is the truth, even now, when the Indian Prime Minister was assassinated and riots began in the country, the Indian army is still assembling according to the original order, but there is no longer that tough leader, and they cannot invade at will without receiving orders.

"Yes, the Indians are short-sighted and are making enemies of our entire West." Cole also said. Anyway, Germany has little to do with India, and when Indians buy weapons, they mainly buy France, and France, which is not a member of NATO, is not controlled by the United States.

"Our army needs a modern tank to deal with the problems of the border." "I'm here to accept your country's help to make our armor stronger," Muhammad said. ”

Hearing Mhammad's words, Cole felt his eyelids begin to beat, help, this guy's skin is really as thick as the legend!

Pakistan doesn't have much money at all, but now, Pakistan's air force is already equipped with advanced fighters, and there are quite a few of them, and even early warning planes are there. If this guy borrows tanks from Germany again, should Germany lend him them? Or give them those mothballed tanks? It seems that this guy in front of him is the master of the goods.

Sure enough, Cole's hunch soon came true, and Mhammad continued: "Your country's Leopard 2 tanks have excellent performance, especially the second batch, which is equipped with infrared imaging night vision devices, and its night combat capabilities are even more prominent, and we hope to be able to equip 500 such tanks and deploy them on our eastern front to prepare for the Indian attack." ”

Five hundred, or Leopard 2! Cole looked at the unashamed man in front of him, and with this mouth, he asked him for billions of marks of equipment!

Even the German Army is only equipped with more than 200 Leopard 2s a year!

"Don't know how you've decided to pay?" "We have to talk to Krupp-Mark and Klaus-Maffei for specific negotiations, and their companies are not profitable right now, so rest assured, I will inform them that the ex-factory price will be the same as the price for our army," Kohl said. ”

Cole immediately blocked the words, the aid is impossible, that is, the factory price is sold to you, their company has to make a profit, and it can't be given in vain.

"In the air battle with the Soviet Union, we shot down their most advanced MiG-29 fighters, and our search crews found a fighter plane that failed to make a forced landing in the mountains of Afghanistan, and the fighter plane was almost intact, and we dismantled two of the engines and transported them back to Islamabad, one of which was taken by the Americans, and one of them was kept as a memorial." Mhammad said.

The voice was not loud, and when the translation passed, Kohl swallowed and foamed, and it was obvious that the other party knew what Germany lacked.

In World War II, Germany had a comprehensive industry, whether it was flying in the sky, running on the ground, or in the sea, Germany could build it, but Hitler's short-sightedness, Germany did not develop large aircraft carriers.

Now, the performance of German-made army weapons far exceeds that of American-made ones, but in aviation, the gap between Germany is widening, which is a limitation as a defeated country.

Now, as a model of international cooperation, the Tornado fighter-bomber has been successfully developed, and Germany, Italy and Britain have jointly developed the project, but the German side is nothing more than the simplest parts of the fuselage girder and aircraft gun, and the most critical engine is made by the British, and the fire control radar is made by Italy and Spain, and there is nothing to do with Germany.

For the later Eurofighter EF2000, although Germany invested a lot, it still did not come up with any core technology.

Although in World War II, German fighter jets were very famous, however, it is now the jet age, and Germany has completely lagged behind. The RD33 engine of the MiG-29 is also a good turbofan engine, with the rigor and industrial foundation of the Germans, you can understand the technology inside, and then derive your own technology, which is of great significance to Germany.

Any country has needs, as long as it can find what the other side needs, that is the weakness of the other side! Looking at the expressions of the Germans opposite, Mhammad knew that they could not refuse. (To be continued......)
