Chapter 565: Two Plans

When the United States announced sanctions against Pakistan and stopped exporting high-tech equipment, Pakistan conducted such a test launch, which clearly showed that it was a slap in the face. The United States, the United States, and Pakistan can still develop their own high-tech equipment!

Bush Sr. looked at his think tank, when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, the United States has always supported Pakistan, but now, Pakistan has become quite powerful, they are becoming a modern and creative industrial country, which the United States does not want to see, and this country will gradually have a strong influence not only in South Asia, but also in the Middle East, after all, they have the same beliefs.

"Our little brother in Pakistan is making us look good." Bush Sr. couldn't help but express his feelings.

"Pakistan's ballistic missile program is being carried out in a very secretive way." "We have spies in all sectors of Pakistan, but we have not found that Pakistan is secretly engaged in a ballistic missile program, and we have never found out about Pakistan's nuclear weapons program," CIA Director William said. ”

After all, ballistic missiles and launch vehicles are almost identical, except that one is hit and cannot come back, and the other is shot out and then returned.

However, the United States cannot directly interfere with Pakistan's peaceful use of space, which Pakistan keeps saying is a carrier rocket.

And, with ballistic missile projects, will they be synchronized with the development of nuclear weapons? This is what the United States is more concerned about, and if Pakistan still has a nuclear program, then the United States has enough excuses. We carried out all-round sanctions.

"But we found this." William continued, handing Bush Sr. and others some photos.

Having the photo, Defense Secretary Cheney couldn't help but say: "Isn't this our Kidd-class destroyer?" What are the Pakistanis doing? ”

When it was exported to the Pakistani destroyer, almost all of the anti-aircraft missiles on it were stored in the United States. This is a means of the United States, in case Pakistan is not obedient, then do not give them anti-aircraft missiles!

But now, this destroyer is undergoing major surgery on the slipway, and it can be seen that a large square hole has been cut on the bridge on one side, and the standard anti-aircraft missile launchers in the front and rear have also been dismantled. The underneath has been marked with paint, and it looks like these decks are going to be cut off as well.

Isn't Pakistan using this warship as a magic weapon? Only standard anti-aircraft missiles will be able to provide their aircraft carrier formations with the most important regional air defense capabilities? What are they doing here?

"We speculate that Pakistan will make four holes in the bridge and install a four-sided phased array radar, and the front and rear positions where standard anti-aircraft missiles were originally placed will become vertical launchers for anti-aircraft missiles." William went on to explain.

"Aegis? Are the Pakistanis going to add the Aegis system to this warship? Cheney was stunned: "When did the Pakistanis have this kind of technology?" ”

Four-sided phased array radar. Isn't this the Aegis system? Right now. Americans are the only ones in the world! Even the Soviet Union, although it also had a phased array radar for the Sky Sentinel on its aircraft carriers, its electronic systems were backward and could not achieve similar functions as the American Aegis system.

"Pakistan's domestic industries have developed rapidly in recent years. Especially with the industrial sector of Huaxia, the cooperation is very close, and our Tomcat fighter has already been copied by them? Secretary of State Baker, who understood, said: "Since Pakistan can copy our Tomcat fighters, it can naturally copy our Aegis system." ”

"No way. Pakistan simply does not have access to our Aegis warships. Cheney said. Now the Aegis warships in the US Navy are also treasures, which Pakistan is impossible to obtain.

"However, they have access to our Patriot system." Baker said: "It's all phased array radar, area anti-aircraft missiles, and the Pakistanis must have copied this air defense system." ”

Cottage! This is the most hateful, these were originally patented, but as a result, they were copied by others, and the United States could not ask for patent fees.

Aegis! This is the US Navy is most proud of a system that can resist the saturation attack of the Soviet Union's powerful anti-ship missiles, which is unique in the world, and even European allies have not yet equipped it.

Bush Sr. said with a serious face, Pakistan's problem is the emergence of a regional power, although the United States is unwilling to admit that Pakistan has developed to the point of being strong enough, and in particular, it has a close relationship with China.

"Now, what we need to discuss is how to deal with this kind of problem." Bush Sr. said.

How to face the problem of an increasingly powerful Pakistan, in fact, if it were not for the particularly good relationship between Pakistan and China, the United States and Pakistan would have developed into strategic allies, which is also a good choice, but now... When Pakistan is strong and has more high-tech weapons, China will get the same technology, and China will never be in the same camp as the United States, because the system is different.

India must be used to counter China and Pakistan, which is the only option for the United States, but now, India is too incomprehensible.

"We have two solutions." "Right now, Pakistan is going to great lengths to develop its space program, and we can do a technology exchange, for example, with our Patriot missile technology, for Pakistan's space program, to stop them from doing that," Baker said. ”

Anyway, Pakistan has now copied the technology of the Patriot missile, and simply exported these technologies to Pakistan, and then reached an agreement with Pakistan in exchange for Pakistan not to develop space engineering. In some areas, the United States has done just that, for example, the rogue state of North Korea, which has been developing nuclear weapons, and the attitude of the United States is to exchange food for nuclear weapons, by providing food to North Korea, in exchange for North Korea's commitment not to develop nuclear weapons.

However, this does not seem to be a very good solution.

"Pakistan will not just ask for our Patriot missile technology, our standard missiles, our Aegis system, Pakistan will bring it up, Pakistan is insatiable, this time we adopt this way, there will be a next time, next time, we cannot condone Pakistan." Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney was unequivocal.

"Then there's only one other option." Baker continued: "We are imposing a tighter blockade on Pakistan to prevent Pakistan from getting more advanced technology from our West, for example, Pakistan's electronic technology is making rapid progress, and it has close technical exchanges with the island countries, and we can impose further sanctions on Pakistan to prevent them from obtaining all the technologies that can be used in aerospace, electronics, military and other aspects from our Western world." ”

Pakistan's electronic technology has developed rapidly, and electronic technology is the foundation of modern high technology, and the Soviets suffered in this regard.

Now, hearing Baker say this, Bush nodded: "Yes, we should increase the sanctions against Pakistan and prevent Pakistan from gaining more electronic technology, especially from the island nation!" ”

Sanction! The development of Pakistan has seriously threatened the interests of the United States, and sanctions must be imposed!

"We are very sorry to see that Pakistan has conducted a ballistic missile test, we are very shocked that Pakistan has obtained intermediate-range ballistic missiles, there is no doubt that Pakistan's ballistic missiles have a close relationship with a certain country, we solemnly declare that we will maintain stability in South Asia, oppose the arms race in South Asia, and ask Pakistan to give up the development of ballistic missiles! At the same time, we will restrict the export of more high-tech technologies to Pakistan, including various electronic technologies. Later, Baker faced the reporters and released the remarks.

Looking at the guy in the TV, Mhammad couldn't help but laugh in his heart, are the Americans all these means? There is no other trick?

"Many countries in Western Europe have set up technical barriers for us, and some exchanges with us have also been suspended." The Minister of Industry said to Mhammad.

"Don't worry." "Some countries in Western Europe, which are not members of NATO, don't need to listen to the United States, such as France and Sweden, as long as we have the money, we can buy the technology we need," Mhammad said. Countries that stop technical exchanges with us and erect technical barriers will soon realize their mistakes. ”

Not all countries listen to the United States, especially France, which feels good about itself, often plays against the United States in some international affairs and has a sense of existence, but the French are too dark, the asking price is high, and the relationship with India is too close, so Pakistan rarely cooperates with France, and now, it doesn't matter if it is temporarily transformed into France.

"Yes." Musha'af said: "Britain stopped supplying some of our submarine parts, we can get it from France, that is, the price is a little higher, and Sweden and other countries will not be affected by the United States, but we get more advanced electronic technology from the island countries, I am afraid that we will not be able to do it anymore." ”

The island countries are absolute lackeys of the United States, and they listen to the United States in everything, and if the United States wants the island countries to ban high-tech exports to Pakistan, the island countries will absolutely do the same. (To be continued......)
