Chapter 402: Talks
There were doors on both sides of the hut, and when Mhammad entered from this side, a figure happened to come in from the opposite side.
"General Secretary Gorbachev?"
"President Mhammad?"
The two shook hands together: "It's a great pleasure that we can meet here." ”
The hut had been well guarded and cleaned, with a fireplace and a warm interior.
took off their coats and sat down.
"In the past few years, there have been a lot of unpleasant things between our two countries, but it was not our decision at that time." Gorbachev said: "Those decision-makers are no longer there, and now we are aware of the horror of war." ”
What Gorbachev meant was obvious, the war in Afghanistan was a mistake in the first place, and this mistake was not made by him, but now he is allowed to wipe his ass.
"We hope that the troops can be withdrawn from Afghanistan." Gorbachev said: "This damned war, it's time to end now." ”
This is the original intention of Gorbachev to come to Mkhamad, this war, the USSR did not want to continue.
Next to Gorbachev is Marshal Olgakov, who is still in charge of the war in Afghanistan here.
In fact, there is no longer a war on this side, the two sides have reached a secret agreement, and the battlefield in Afghanistan has calmed down. It's just that as long as the Soviet army continues to be stationed here, it will be necessary to constantly transport supplies, and since the passage is monopolized by Afghanistan, it is almost a disguised irony that the transportation of supplies back and forth has to pay Afghan tolls.
Anyway, there will be no more wars, it is better to simply withdraw their own troops, this is Gorbachev's idea, and now. Of course, we have to ask the Pakistani side for its opinion.
For Pakistan, it is best to maintain the status quo, as long as the Soviets do not leave, the Americans will not tear their faces, and the weapons that should be given must continue to be returned. Mhammad wants to maintain this state of affairs.
However, the Soviets are getting impatient, and here is a huge whirlpool, and they are going to pump their feet.
Of course, Mhammad will not say this reason, Mhammad just said lightly: "We also very much hope that this damn war is over, and you can withdraw the troops in Afghanistan, that is the best, the future of Afghanistan." Let the Afghans choose for themselves. ”
Hearing Mkhamad's words, Gorbachev was very satisfied, and he very much wanted to end the war here, and only then could Ogarkov be transferred back to Moscow to confront Defense Minister Sokolov, and now, on the side of the army. Many people still listen to Sokolov, but they don't dare. Secretly, he was holding Gorbachev back.
Gorbachev wanted to prevent this from happening.
"Still." Mhammad said: "Your country's situation is complicated, Marshal Sokolov is the main battle, you want to negotiate peace, I am afraid that he will obstruct it." ”
When Mhammad said this, he was already seriously interfering in the internal affairs of the other side, if he was replaced by a tougher Brezhnev. I'm afraid I'll be angry at once.
However, Gorbachev did not, he knew that the other side was telling the truth, and Sokolov would not agree to withdraw troops from Afghanistan, although Gorbachev ordered it in his capacity as general secretary. Even the deprivation of the post of Minister of Defense of Marshal Sokolov did not bring this old marshal to its knees, insisting that the war in Afghanistan must be carried out and that troops must not be withdrawn.
Seeing that Gorbachev did not speak, Mhammad said: "Actually, I have an idea that can help you solve this problem. When this problem is solved, you can negotiate peace with us. ”
It is shameful that the general secretary of the most powerful red empire actually needs the other party to come up with an idea, but when Mhammad's idea was finished, Gorbachev's eyes lit up.
That's a great idea!
"Will it work?" Marshal Ogarkov on the side said.
"Then it's up to both of us to cooperate." Mhammad said: "I believe that you will be able to take advantage of this opportunity to clean up those hateful guys, this war is wrong, if there is no war, the Soviet Union will still be the most powerful, and there will be no such problems as now, ending this war is the first step for your country." Developing your country's economy is the second step. ”
Mhammad's following words are pure nonsense, but these words make the other party very useful, thinking of Mhammad's clever plan, everyone present is thinking, this is indeed the solution to the problem!
However, hearing Mhammad's words, Gorbachev continued: "Yes, the second problem we face is economic development, our country, we need reforms, we need cooperation with foreign countries, we can export our country's advanced technology, for example, nuclear power plants. ”
Gorbachev said it seriously.
Nuclear power plant! Pakistan's decision to build commercial nuclear power plants to provide more electricity for its own country has attracted not only the United States, France, Japan, but also the Soviet Union.
The Soviet Union also had a huge nuclear power technology, and the Soviet Union's huge military industry, including nuclear technology, was very developed in nuclear technology, and with a little transformation, it became a nuclear power plant.
In fact, from the mid-60s to the 80s, due to the impact of the oil crisis and the promising economics of nuclear power, nuclear power experienced a large-scale and high-speed development stage, with a total of 242 nuclear power units in operation in the world, and a new nuclear power plant was put into operation every 17 days on average in its heyday. The United States has built 500 to 1,100 MW of pressurized water reactors and boiling water reactors in batches and exported them to other countries; The Soviet Union built 1000MW graphite reactors and 440MW, 1000MWVVER pressurized water reactors; Japan and France have introduced and digested the water presses and boiling water reactor technologies of the United States, and have become major nuclear power countries.
Nuclear power is a civilian technology, and there will not be too many restrictions on export, and the export of nuclear power technology can also get the funds urgently needed for economic development, so the Soviet Union can export this technology to Pakistan as well.
Although the Soviet Union still felt that Pakistan was an enemy, for Gorbachev, it did not matter what enemy was or not, and interests were the most important thing.
Nuclear power in the USSR? Mhammad didn't think the Soviet Union's nuclear power technology was very high, didn't there be a major nuclear power plant accident in the first place?
Mhammad clearly remembers that it was a catastrophe for the whole world, and there was a serious accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant on April 26, 86.
Thinking of this, Mhammad's eyelids suddenly jumped wildly, and now, it is April 20 of 86!
Chernobyl, a small city 110 kilometers north of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, is a scenic place that just days later turned into a living hell by a nuclear power plant accident.
The accident sent 80,000 tons of radioactive material into the sky, 400 times the amount of radiation in Hiroshima, and killed more than 50 people on the spot, and radioactivity caused hundreds of thousands of cancers, including nearly 100,000 deaths.
This is not a matter of the Soviet Union alone, but a catastrophe for the whole world. The Soviet Union spent $18 billion to deal with the accident, which made the Soviet economy worse and killed innocent civilians, a disaster.
And Mhammad's crossing has led to a lot of changes, but in the areas that Mhammad has not affected, history is still continuing according to the previous progress, and this nuclear power plant in Ukraine has nothing to do with Mhammad and has not received the influence of Pakistan, so history will definitely follow the previous development!
What can you do to prevent this human catastrophe? Mhammad had all sorts of plans in mind. It's not that Hammad suddenly became kind, he killed the enemy on the battlefield, he didn't blink, and now, it is innocent civilians who are dying, and they are Ukrainians, in later generations, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, there are really a lot of good things in Ukraine, and you have to maintain good relations with Ukraine.
What should I do? While Mhammad was still thinking in his head, he heard Gorbachev next to him say: "President Mhammad, what do you think of this?" We can give you the best price, one-tenth of the price quoted by the Americans! ”
The Americans overquoted the price more than ten times, and the Soviet Union only quoted one-tenth of the price of the Americans, which still made a profit, and at the same time, the follow-up project of a new nuclear power plant would also make the Soviet Union make a lot of money.
Unexpectedly, after he proposed this proposal, the other party actually stopped talking, and Gorbachev couldn't help but continue to ask. Could it be that the other side is afraid of obstruction by the United States? It's pure commercial competition.
"If you find it difficult, then we can use a third party to transfer it." Gorbachev said.
"I would like to send someone to inspect your nuclear power plants, especially your Chernobyl nuclear power plant, which already has four reactors in normal operation and two more reactors under construction, and we can look at it comprehensively." Mhammad said.
It turns out that the other party knows so clearly! Gorbachev was immediately overjoyed in his heart, and it seems that there is no big problem with the conclusion of this cooperation!
"Okay, we couldn't agree more." Gorbachev said: "We have a third mentions, your current Kashmir region and Punjab region are the main grain-producing areas, and we hope that we can use part of the funds from the export of nuclear power plants to exchange directly for your grain and transfer it to our Soviet Union." ”
In the Soviet Union, food was extremely scarce, and it was almost about to become a rationed supply of food during the war, and the government tried all kinds of ways in order to get more grain, and now, Pakistan has two granaries, and the grain output is enough for its own use, and the excess is sold to the Soviet Union, and the price can be appropriately cheaper, and the grain in Western Europe is too expensive.
