"Put down the landing gear!"

"The underline is normal, push the head again!"

Hussein flew next to Bashar, just now Bashar's tail engine was damaged, and at the same time the debris injured the VHF antenna of the tail, Bashar had no ground guidance, and completely relied on the help of Hussein next to him.

Hussein flew back with Bashar and flew with him, but Bashar couldn't hear him when he spoke, and he mainly relied on gestures to command Bashar.

The rear wheels touched the ground steadily, Bashar used all his strength, lowered the nose, and the parachute cabin was also opened, and the parachute could not be released, so he flew until the end of the runway before he braked the wheels.

Several fire trucks quickly went up and extinguished the fire at the tail as soon as possible to prevent an explosion.

One turbojet engine was torn apart and the other engine was not injured, which is a blessing.

Hussein flew around once, made three turns, aimed at the runway, and landed.

Hussein just got off the plane and was surrounded by cheering ground crews, and this time in the air, he shot down three fighters, plus the last one, and will soon become an ace! After the fighter entered the jet age, there were not many ace pilots in total. His current record in the Pakistan Air Force is second only to that legendary Cunzài, Mohammed Ahmed Arslan.

"This battle once again exposed the backwardness of the performance of our fighters." In the conference room of the airbase, after listening to Hussein's report, Mhammad said.

When Mhammad had just discovered the hole in the north, the aerial confrontation began, and if it hadn't happened for Hussein's two Jian-6s cruising there, the Soviets might have taken advantage of the loophole this time.

The ground forces had already searched for the Soviet pilot who had parachuted out, and at the same time searched for the wreckage of the crashed warplanes, although the air battle ended in victory for their own side. However, at the last moment, it was heroic enough to rely on Hussein to ram the enemy plane to save his comrades.

"Our AIM-9P missiles can only tail chase attacks, and we need AIM-9L missiles that can be launched in all directions. We need advanced carrier aircraft capable of firing medium-range bombs to be able to compete with the Soviets! Mhammad said.

"I heard about our F-16 fighter jets, and they will return home soon." The commander of the air base said: "We sent a report requesting F-16 fighters to be stationed at our base. ”

F-16 fighters! For Pakistan, this fighter is advanced enough, and at the same time in line with Pakistan's financial situation, it is too expensive, Pakistan cannot afford to equip it, and at the same time the maintenance is astronomical.

But... In Mhammad's eyes. The Tomcat, which has been flashing that huge variable sweep wing, wants to dominate South Asia, Pakistan needs a heavy air superiority fighter!

It can carry six Immortal Bird missiles at a time, and in Pakistan, it can cross the border and shoot down a fighter plane taking off from Bagram Air Base!

"Report, Islamabad calling." Just then, an adjutant reported.

Picked up the phone and heard the voice inside. Muhammad suddenly looked stern.

Go to Islamabad and report to the president on this air battle! Mhammad didn't know why he picked himself. You must know that your profession is the Army, and your understanding of the Air Force is mainly backed by the knowledge of later generations.

Since it was a debriefing, Mhammad did not go alone, taking Hussein with him. Mhammad boarded a helicopter from the base and flew to Islamabad.

It is a new city with a great location in the middle of the Himalayas and the vast plains of the Indus River. To the east is the beautiful Lake Laval and to the west is an open river valley. Beautiful scenery and pleasant surroundings, less than a hundred kilometers from Peshawar.

When Pakistan was founded, the capital was originally in Karachi in the south of Pakistan, but the strategic depth here is shallow, and there is no room for development, so Pakistan re-established this new city, and it is only a dozen years of history now.

In some places, construction is still ongoing, high-rise buildings, construction is busy, and the streets are already full of traffic, painted with colorful caravans, which constitute a unique landscape of Islamabad.

The helicopter landed at the Nur Khan airfield on the outskirts of Islamabad, changed into a military off-road vehicle, and headed for the presidential palace.

This is the first time that Mhammad has arrived in Islamabad, the streets are almost all men, few women, most of them cover their faces with veils, but there are also a few who dress fashionably, and now that the Eastern and Western cultures continue to merge, the American way of thinking is also constantly influencing Pakistan.

Now is the short honeymoon period for the United States and Pakistan.

The presidential palace is in the eastern part of the city, which is relatively quiet, and after the car drove into the presidential palace, Mhammad and Hussein waited in a small conference room on the side.

Hussein was still wearing the uniform of the Air Force, and he had just come too suddenly, and at the same time, Hussein's heart was full of excitement to meet the great president.

"Hussein, let's eat something first." Mhammad looked at a plate of snacks brought to him by a secretary, took a piece, and handed it to Hussein.

Hussein was very restrained, he didn't know where to put his hand, he wanted to take it, and shook his head again: "No, I'm still waiting for the president here." After a while, the president found out that my beard was full of snacks, which was very rude. ”

"Eat, the president will not blame, you are our hero." "You were the first pilot in the entire Pakistan Air Force to shoot down four warplanes," Mhammad said. ”

Luck, two rattlesnakes, killed two Su-22s of the Afghan Air Force, just like shooting targets, Hussein kept summing up, these two air battles, in fact, he made a lot of mistakes, such as this time, when he hit the enemy plane, he was so excited that he shot all the shells in one go, and as a result, there were no shells later, or at least there was a record of injuries!

Mhammad took the pen to www.biquge.info his heart, he was really hungry.

After eating, I drank another bowl of milk tea and waited for more than three hours, and finally there was the sound of footsteps outside.

"Your Excellency, Mhammad has been ordered to come and report." Mhammad said to Zia-ul-Haq and saluted.

"Your Excellency the President, 15 Squadron Pilot Hussein salutes you." Hussein also raised his right hand in salute.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Zia-ul-Haq's words were very polite: "I just communicated with the American ambassador for a few hours and lost time. ”

As president, Zia-ul-Haq is not high-minded, and his approachable words are even more impressive.

But Mhammad grasped the key words, the president communicated with the American ambassador, or a few hours! What could it be? Moreover, the president's itinerary is secret, and now that he has told the two of himself, he must not be afraid of leaks, that is, it is related to the two of them!

"Your Excellency, your time is precious, and we are honored to be able to summon the two of us." "Hussein, report to His Excellency the President on this battle," Mhammad said. ”

What is the important thing for the president to come here by himself? Crossed the Ministry of Defense, the military district, and came directly to yourself?

Don't? As if he had guessed something, Mhammad felt a burst of joy in his heart.

After listening carefully to Hussein's report, Zia-ul-Haq said: "It seems that our Jian-6 is indeed powerless to fight against the Soviets' fighters. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, we are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the F-16 fighter jets, so that we can have the ability to completely confront the Soviets." Hussein said.

"Hussein, you are the elite of our Air Force, you should have more exchanges and cooperation with the West, this time, we plan to send people to the United States to test fly their F-14 fighters, are you willing to go?" Zia-Haq asked.

Sure enough, it's time to buy a tomcat! My last words completely impressed the president! Mhammad was suddenly very excited.

"I completely obey the president's orders!" Hussein said that Hussein was a little reluctant to leave the battlefield temporarily, but the soldiers took it as their duty to obey orders, and it was an order issued by the president himself, so of course he had to strictly implement it.

"Okay, you go down and rest first, and eat something." Zia-Haq said: "I've heard your stomach bark three times just now. ”

Hussein left, and Zia-ul-Haq's face gradually became stern.

"Mhammad, what you said last time really touched me." Zia-ul-Haq said to Mhammad: "You are absolutely right, we need a heavy air superiority fighter!" ”

"Your Excellency, the skies of Pakistan need powerful warplanes to protect them. Our air force must attack, attack, and attack again, and destroy the enemy's planes on the runway, so as to maintain our security! Mhammad also said excitedly, offensive air force! That's what a great power should be!

However, he still has a lot of questions in his mind, if the president really made up his mind to buy it, why did he come to himself? It is enough to negotiate directly with the U.S. side.

"However, there is a lot of resistance from us." "Except for me, no one else supports it, especially the Minister of Defense, who strongly supports the purchase of more F-16s, to make up for them with quantity, and the Minister of Finance is also against it, and our country does not have extra money to equip it," Zia-ul-Haq said. ”

As president, you can't do whatever you want, you have to consider the interests of the whole country comprehensively, and now, Zia-ul-Haq has put more energy into the country's economic construction, and the investment in national defense must be controlled, and the purchase of expensive F-14s will naturally meet with opposition from others.

"We can take out loans." Mhammad said that these days, thinking about it every day, Mhammad has gradually smoothed his mind: "Now that our righteous fight is supported by the whole world, especially our Islamic world, among which Saudi Arabia has the greatest support, we can send people to contact the Saudi side and ask them to lend us money." ”

"It may take more than a decade for our finances to be able to repay this fund." Zia-Haq said. (To be continued......)
