Chapter 450: Tractor
Ordinary basic industries can be brought in a large number of them, such as petrochemical industry, machinery manufacturing, and metal smelting, all of which can be discussed by the people below, and what Mhammad proposed is some industries with sufficient weight, which must be said by Mhammad himself.
Originally, Mhammad's hopes were not very great, after all, this was used to build aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines, and the Soviets would sell this steel technology for money?
Now, let him be very satisfied, as long as he gives enough price, he can take it, after all, the Soviets can even sell Su-27 fighters for money.
Moreover, it doesn't matter if this steel-making technology is obtained by the United States even through Pakistan, the United States has the same technology, and this technology will not give the other side any countermeasures, this is just a steel plate, and it is not a high-precision weapon.
After talking about this, Mhammad was very happy, and he continued to say to Gorbachev: "We in Pakistan, now agriculture is also developing rapidly, so we want to introduce a tractor production line from the Soviet Union. ”
Tractor! Pakistan is now even able to produce medium trucks, Mercedes-Benz NG-80 series heavy trucks and Steyr heavy trucks, high and low matching, countless vehicles, shuttle on the domestic highway, but, Pakistan can produce heavy trucks, this agricultural tractor, but still blank.
Now Mhamad proposed to introduce a tractor production line, this reason is too normal, and the USSR exported a tractor production line without any problems.
"Okay, we can say yes." Gorbachev said: "What tractors do you need to bring in? ”
Unlike others, Gorbachev came from the field of agriculture, and when he did not enter the central government, the localities were mainly engaged in agricultural production and had rich experience, which is also the reason why Andropov valued it.
"We need to bring in a variety of tractors." Mhammad said: "High, medium and low-end tractors. There are all kinds of models, so we want to build a large tractor airport that can produce various models of tractors, and we also want to produce some deformed tractors. ”
A deformed tractor? Marshal Ogarkov heard this. I have a bad premonition in my head, right?
"What deformed tractor?" Gorbachev asked.
"It's just some multi-axle self-propelled vehicles." "From four-axle to eight-axle, we have an urgent need for such vehicles in industries such as field oil surveying," Mhammad said. ”
Multi-axle self-propelled vehicles? Ogarkov asked: "What kind of multi-axle vehicle?" ”
"The front cab, all-wheel drive, uses off-road tires, has a central bleed system, several axles in front, and preferably can be steered at the same time. The horsepower of the car should be high, so that it can adapt to the road in the wild. "We have an urgent need for such vehicles," Mhammad said. ”
Cut, isn't this a ballistic missile launcher? Ogarkov immediately became vigilant in his heart, are the Pakistanis going to develop ballistic missiles? However, it doesn't seem like any news is coming out.
"We need to introduce this chassis technology and deform it on the basis of the chassis, such as developing heavy cranes for use in the field and developing survey vehicles. Develop a variety of products required by the field industry. Mhammad said: "We know that your Minsk Automobile Plant. There are such off-road vehicles, we are very interested. ”
Minsk Automobile Plant! This is a Soviet-era secret car factory, because there are no less than 12 wheels of cars manufactured in this car factory, and all kinds of Soviet military off-road vehicles. Including important ballistic missile launchers, they are produced from this plant.
For example, the car used to pull the Scud missile, the sturdy four-axle all-wheel drive vehicle, is produced by this car factory. Very perverted, the engine used the engine of the T62 tank.
Of course, there are even more perverted ones, in order to pull ICBMs, the Minsk Vehicle Plant also created a 24-wheeled heavy chassis car, the MAZ-7907 type! The length of such a car is more than 28 meters, and the width is 4.7 meters. The curb weight is 65.8 tons, and it can be loaded up to 150 tons. The densely packed 24 wheels under the chassis have a diameter of more than two meters. The information of this kind of car is top secret, and Mhammad only obtained the information about this kind of car by virtue of the information of later generations, and in order to pull this car, the Soviets actually equipped it with a gas turbine! The noise was so loud that the driver had to wear earplugs to be free from the noise.
This kind of car, Mhammad will definitely not come, and with such a wide vehicle, Pakistan's roads are also limited, so Mhammad only needs the technology of an off-road chassis with four to eight axles, which is enough for Pakistan to use.
"We need this tractor very badly." "However, we have limited domestic funds, so if you can agree, we hope to exchange our domestic agricultural products," Mhammad said. In the past two years, we have had a bumper harvest of agricultural products in our country, and we can export agricultural products in exchange for this production line. ”
Swap it for produce! This is also a solution that Mhammad came up with, for the Soviets, what did they lack the most? In addition to money, it is food!
The Soviet Union had so much fertile black soil, but unfortunately, the form of farms and the system of big pot rice limited the development of their agriculture, and their agricultural production efficiency was very low, which could not meet domestic needs at all, and as a result, the supply of goods was incomplete, and it was necessary to queue for a long time to buy bread in the country.
By exporting these technologies, you can get enough food, which is even more attractive to the Soviets!
Sure enough, after hearing Mhammad's words, Gorbachev's eyes lit up.
The Soviet Union and the West have already borrowed a lot of debts, but now, they can't get out on credit, and if the Soviet Union wants to buy grain, it needs to pay off old debts first, so it is very difficult to trade with the West.
Pakistan was also short of food at home, but later, with the acquisition of the Kashmir Valley and the West Plains of India, these places are rich granaries, so that Pakistan not only achieved food self-sufficiency, but also had a large surplus. In recent years, Pakistan has continued to carry out reforms and increase the peasants' enthusiasm for production, and in this way, grain production has continued to increase.
Now, Mhammad is using grain as a weapon to get the Soviets to agree to export this tractor line, and the Soviets have no possibility of refusing.
Tractor! In the eyes of Mhammad, these things are tractors!
Sure enough, after hearing the grain, Gorbachev finally nodded: "We can accept it." ”
On his first day in Moscow, Mhammad gained a lot, in addition to agreeing with the Soviets about the withdrawal of troops, he also introduced some basic industries from the Soviet Union, which would greatly improve the industrial level of Pakistan.
Staying in the hotel, Mhammad looked at Lilith on the side, and at this time, Lilith's eyes were full of fascination.
"Lilith, I've finally brought you to Moscow this time." Mhammad said.
"Yes, since childhood, I have been very interested in the Soviet Union." Lilith said, "Now, at last, the opportunity has come. ”
Thinking about everything she saw during the day, Lilith was very excited, and the architecture here made Lilith very interested.
It's a pity that I came this time, but as the president's wife, Lilith couldn't make a request and wandered around the streets and alleys of Moscow.
The Soviet Union, this is a mysterious place, how do the people here, exactly? Is everything they have for free? Lilith was also curious about these.
"Lilith, go to bed early today, we're going out to visit tomorrow." Mhammad said.
Visit? Lilith suddenly looked excited: "Where are we going to visit tomorrow?" ”
"Black Sea Shipyard." Mhammad said.
Black Sea Shipyard! This is the largest shipyard in the USSR! Moreover, the aircraft carrier of the Soviets, it was here that it was built! The fact that the Soviets were able to allow Mhammad to visit here was simply a great opportunity to show the friendship between the two sides!
The Black Sea Shipyard, also known as the Nikolaev Shipyard, was the fifth largest shipyard in the Soviet Union, however, in terms of building aircraft carriers, it was the first shipyard in the Soviet Union, because all the aircraft carriers of the Soviet Union, including the original helicopter carriers, to the Kiev-class four-different heavy aircraft-carrying cruisers, to the third generation of real straight-deck aircraft carriers, came out of the Black Sea Shipyard!
This is an old plant with a long history, created in 1897 in the era of Tsarist Russia, in the process of building aircraft carriers, the Nikolaev shipyard gradually accumulated rich experience in production, technology, technology and management, shipbuilding equipment has been greatly improved, in order to build a new aircraft carrier, they also introduced a giant crane with a lifting capacity of nine hundred tons. Now, the construction of aircraft carriers, like the United States, has entered a period of stability. Every 3 years, 1 aircraft carrier is put on the slipway, 1 aircraft carrier is launched every 3 years, and it takes another three years to outfit, so that under normal circumstances, the factory can deliver 1 aircraft carrier every 3 years.
In addition to the friendship between the two sides, more importantly, Mhammad came here to inspect and hope to learn from the experience here, and at the same time hire some engineers from here to work in the shipyards of Pakistan, and as for the salary, of course, it is very generous.
So, the USSR invited Mhammad to visit the Black Sea shipyard, anyway, just a few glances, and the secrets of the Soviet Navy would not be revealed.
If it were not for the fear that the United States would obtain Soviet technology through Pakistan, Soviet warships would have been exported to Pakistan. It's a pity that now, this can only be a pipe dream.
Of course, Mhammad also has a deeper intention, this is a good opportunity to put pressure on the British, the British Type 82 destroyer, is it still going to be sold to Pakistan? Pakistan can't look at it anymore! (To be continued......)
