Pakistan is a long and narrow country, and the choice of space bases must be cautious, because the earth rotates from west to east, so if Pakistan wants to launch satellites, it must also launch eastward, and the whole world is the same. However, to the east of Pakistan, it is India's old enemy. Quetta is in the west of Pakistan, with convenient transportation, and the east is a desert area, and after the first stage of the launch vehicle completes the separation, it will fall into the territory of its own country.

Of course, this will also cause great tension in India, who knows whether Pakistan will launch a launch vehicle or a ballistic missile? The initial ballistic characteristics are exactly the same, one goes to the sky and does not come back, and the other is that after going to the sky, it will come down again!

Of course, Mhammad will not care about the protests of the Indian side, and no one can stop Pakistan's exploration of space, even if it is not a carrier rocket launched for the first time, but just a single-stage Dongfeng-3 ballistic missile!

Bangladesh calmed down for the time being, and just ten days later, Western countries, led by the United States, began a carrot and stick policy.

The military junta in Bangladesh is not in line with the will of the people, and the existing military junta in Bangladesh must be dissolved, the head of the country resigns, and then the people of Bangladesh themselves elect a government that conforms to the will of the people! After the dissolution of the existing government, an interim government can be formed, which can be formed with the help of neighboring India.

If Bangladesh does not do this, the United States will impose all-round sanctions on Bangladesh, especially food!

Bangladesh has a large population and limited arable land, and in normal years, people will starve to death, and if there is a flood or something, it will be a serious famine. People are displaced, so the US sanctions against Bangladesh are mainly food! If the Bangladeshi government does not accept the US arrangement, then wait to starve!

At the same time, the United States has also expressed strong dissatisfaction with Pakistan. The United States hopes that Pakistan's troops can withdraw from Bangladesh and that the United Nations can send observers to observe Bangladesh. If Pakistan continues to have troops in Bangladesh, the United States will impose sanctions on Pakistan.

Getting the news, Mhammad couldn't help but shake his head, the Americans are quite smart. There are very few politicians as stupid as Robert, and the United States has not directly accused Pakistan of being ruled by a military junta. What the United States is demanding now is that Pakistan withdraws its troops, and as long as Pakistan withdraws its troops, then everything can still be as before, and the United States will not investigate it in depth, if Pakistan does not withdraw its troops. Then there will be US sanctions!

Bush thought that this would make Pakistan compromise. Later, however, Pakistan issued a statement.

Pakistan has discovered some mineral resources along the coastline of Chittagong, including titanium concentrate, zircon powder and red lazuli, etc., and now Bangladesh has handed over all these minerals to Pakistan. At the same time, in return, Pakistan will export grain for Bangladesh.

With granaries in places like Kashmir and Amritsar, Pakistan has long since achieved food self-sufficiency with Afghanistan, and there is still enough surplus. Therefore, it is entirely possible to export a part of it to Bangladesh, and the two sides will directly barter in kind, and will not use the international currency, the US dollar, at all.

At the same time, Pakistan also stated that in history, Pakistan and Bangladesh used to be one country, and there was a brotherly friendship between the two sides, and now Pakistan is stationing troops in Bangladesh, which is completely a matter for the people of the two countries, reflecting the great friendship of the two peoples, and has nothing to do with other countries! By wielding the big stick of liberal democracy, brutal interference in the regimes of other countries is a complete act of hegemonism!

Originally, Mhammad was ready to push Ranad out to his death if necessary, and then put in place a new government, which had to be friendly to Pakistan. However, the condition set by the United States is that Pakistan withdraw its troops, which Pakistan absolutely cannot tolerate.

If a certain amount of force is not maintained on the territory of Bangladesh, then the situation in Bangladesh will not be under Pakistan's control, and Pakistan can support it today, and the United States and India can support it tomorrow. In the past, Pakistan did not touch here, so forget it, and now, since Pakistan has stationed troops here, it must not be compromised!

Pakistan's statement can be regarded as a resounding slap in the face to the United States, and the Americans are annoyed and angry, and finally decided to impose sanctions on Pakistan: stop high-tech exports to Pakistan! Stop cooperation with Pakistan in military technology, and temporarily detain the F-16 fighters ordered by Pakistan!

After getting the news, Mhammad breathed a sigh of relief, grandma's, the Yankees are also thundering loudly and raining little.

Originally, what Mhammad was most frightened about was that the United States froze all Pakistan's assets! After all, a large part of Pakistan's national income is based on speculation in the international financial market to obtain profits, in order to cope with US sanctions, Pakistan has withdrawn a lot of money, but after all, this will be a lot less gains.

Now, the United States has at least stopped high-tech exports, and this most effective and direct way of freezing assets has not been carried out!

I'm afraid that Mhammad can guess some of the reasons, and the Americans are also a rat trap.

Pakistan has assets in the United States, and the United States also has assets in Pakistan! Especially in Afghanistan!

At the beginning, when consolidating the northern part of Afghanistan, Mhammad internationalized the Afghan issue and found many Western companies to jointly develop the mines there, so that their interests could be combined, and later, when Pakistan was vigorously developing industry, there were also many Western companies in Pakistan.

If the United States freezes Pakistan's assets abroad, then Mhammad will be unceremoniously nationalized all these Westerners' enterprises!

This kind of struggle between the two sides is also within a certain bottom line, and since the Americans have not done a desperate job, Mhammad will not do anything particularly excessive.

As for the US ban on the export of high technology to Pakistan, including military equipment, Mhammad also has a plan to deal with it; over the past few years, Pakistan has been introducing all kinds of advanced Western industries, and the military industry has begun to develop rapidly.

What makes Hammad feel painful is that there are only a dozen F-16 fighters.

This is still a contract five or six years ago, Pakistan ordered the second batch of F-16 fighters from the United States, as a low-grade aircraft with the highlands, because Pakistan has been pressing the Soviet Air Force, the delivery of this second batch of fighters, it was delayed, the United States F-16 is too popular, there are too many orders, the company can not produce, it has been scheduled to 94 years.

At Pakistan's repeated urging, the United States has not yet delivered less than 20 F-16 fighters, and now the Americans want to detain these fighters.

This is much better than in history, at the beginning, Pakistan used the F-16 fighter as the main force, but the Americans deducted it, resulting in a long time, Pakistan did not even have a decent fighter, until the Thunder entered service, Pakistan's chief of air force general staff, will shed tears.

And now, Pakistan has a large number of Tomcat fighters, and it has begun to produce new Tomcat fighters on its own, and the United States has detained these twenty aircraft, and Pakistan can solve it through negotiations later, which is not very urgent.

"And the Americans did." "In that case, let's not hold back, let's announce Pakistan's space program," Mhammad said. ”

"The earth is the cradle of mankind, but human beings will not stay in this cradle forever." Pakistan's spokesman also had a rare philosophical time: "The mystery of space exploration is what everyone wants, and we in Pakistan should also contribute our own strength to space exploration, and we in Pakistan will carry out a series of space exploration activities, we will launch Pakistan's own artificial earth satellite within five years, send a probe to land on the moon within ten years, realize manned spaceflight within 15 years, and launch a manned space station." ”

Pakistan has shown its ambitions in outer space, which is obviously in response to US sanctions, and the United States wants to stop the export of high-tech to Pakistan, so Pakistan must show that they themselves also have the ability to carry out high-tech research and development, such as aerospace!

When they heard about Pakistan's space program, the United States scoffed, did the Pakistanis think that building rockets was building trains? Where is it so easy? Especially in manned spaceflight, only two countries in the world, the United States and the Soviet Union, have this kind of technology!

The United States did not think that Pakistan really wanted to explore space, but only thought that it was just a ploy, until a month later, when the hour hand had pointed to the New Year of 90, Pakistan's space exploration activities finally began!

North of Quetta, Bostan.

Pakistan's Sky City stands here, and in just one month, the basic construction has been erected, Pakistan's industry has made great progress, and the construction capacity is also very strong.

Three kilometers from the space city, a brand new launch pad has been built, the iron tower is high, there is a buffer device under the launch pad, and there are rails next to it to communicate with the assembly plant of the space city, which is a standard space launch pad.

However, the rocket standing on the launch pad at this time looks very small. (To be continued......)
