Lai Zhenping and Zhao Jinsong glanced at each other, saw the intentions of Farouk and other Pakistani officials, and knew that there was hope for this matter. Lai Zhenping also explained: "As for the issue of China's entry into the Indian Ocean, well, China has gradually begun to assume more international responsibilities and assume the obligation to maintain peace in the world, the Middle East is one of the largest powder kegs in the world, and India may threaten the security of Pakistan at any time, in order to take care of the peace and stability of the Indian Ocean region, China hopes to be able to obtain a strategic fulcrum on the coast of the Indian Ocean, and can provide effective assistance to friendly countries in the region, such as Pakistan. It has also made positive contributions to regional peace and stability. ”

A Pakistani general excitedly asked, "Are Chinese friends willing to help us fight India?" ”

Lai Zhenping is like a treacherous ghost, of course, it is impossible for him to agree to it, but it is impossible for him to say not to help, so he changed his expression, and said with a smile: "If India has carried out any provocative acts, especially on the sea, such as blockading the coast and plundering Pakistani merchant ships, our navy is naturally obliged to help you." ”

His words seem to make a lot of sense, but there is a lot of room for manoeuvre. If the two countries go to war, will only the navy help? If Pakistan provokes trouble first, will China still help? If the navies of the two countries fought fairly and did not undermine the principle of humanitarianism, then would China still help?

None of this was made clear, but what Lai Zhenping said seemed to be a defense commitment to Pakistan.

In the view of Qi Yiming, the bigwig behind the scenes, it is not impossible to give a defense agreement, but it is by no means now, but he will do so when Pakistan determines that it is already a pawn in China's strategic chess.

Looking at the jubilant appearance of the Pakistani officials on the side, Lai Zhenping and Zhao Jinsong also watched with a smile, and the invisible fox tail wagged behind their backs.

Farouk hurriedly said: "The development of friendly bilateral relations with China has always been the most important part of China's foreign policy, and the suggestions put forward by Chinese friends are of great constructive significance and are helpful to the development of our friendly relations and the interests of the two countries." I will report in detail to our President and Prime Minister on the development of the Gwadar port and the opening of the Gwadar port to your navy, and I will persuade the project to be signed and commenced at an early date. ”

Lai Zhenping nodded, opened another document and took out a list, and handed it to Farouk, which was his heaviest bargaining chip in the negotiation and a killer weapon.

"Similarly, China also attaches great importance to friendly relations with Pakistan and hopes that the two countries can carry out exchanges and cooperation at more levels. In light of the ongoing turmoil in your northern region and Afghanistan, we see the need to step up more tilt and support for Pakistan, well, this is the next step in deepening our relationship with your country. Lai Zhenping focused on the next step.

When the Pakistani officials saw the list of results, their heartbeats accelerated by several points. Military aid MBT-1000 tanks, MBT-2000 tanks 50, MIFV multi-purpose infantry vehicles 400, PLZ-45 self-propelled artillery 60, WM-80 self-propelled rocket launchers 60. Two second-hand 054A frigates, several auxiliary military vessels. The lease of the original J-8 early fin whale interceptor was transferred free of charge, the entire production line of the J-8 fin whale interceptor was transferred to Pakistan, and the PL-5E combat missile technology was transferred to Pakistan. Military aid 24 Z-19 helicopter gunships and 1,000 Red Arrow 73 anti-armor missiles.

This list of military aid is absolutely extravagant, and even shocked the group of Pakistani officials to gasp, they have not received military aid, the Americans have given them a lot of military aid, but compared to the Chinese brothers' generosity, it is simply too cold.

Looking at the numbers, it is absolutely extravagant, and except for the two frigates and those fin whale interceptors that have been delivered to the Pakistani army, which are old, the other products are basically new, and the total value is clearly written below: 31. $6.6 billion.

Naturally, this price is very inflated, first of all, China's arms exports are amazingly large, and then Qi Yiming also reported to Gaoli on the quotation of military aid, which is not surprising that it has increased by three billion US dollars. But even so, Pakistan's acquisition of these things is self-evident in its benefits for the growth of its military strength. China's military aid of $3.1 billion may not be something that Pakistan can buy for $10 billion on its own.

Qi Yiming gave this list of military aid in a big way, and he was going to donate 500 million US dollars to a military industrial enterprise for them to produce, and the rest of the part was really painful for him to let the base OEM. Military aid with a large amount of money and then choose domestic enterprises, that is a typical American route, the meat is rotten in the pot, Qi Yiming also followed suit, so that many enterprises that are basically unable to obtain domestic orders can take a breath.

After many rounds of integration and reengineering, the military industrial complex is now much leaner than before, and it is almost fattening up with foreign orders. Especially the round that passed through Saudi Arabia? Yamaha agreement, several military enterprises have since successfully transformed into local tycoons. Because of the compulsory streamlining work, the number of military industrial enterprises and the number of employees may now be less than one-tenth of that of the eighty-five years, and a large number of factories have been stripped away from the manufacture of civilian products, and now the military industrial enterprises only retain some very relevant dual-use or highly specialized civilian products for production.

After the professionalism and limitations came out, although the profits increased significantly, the state also chased the profits and taxes fiercely. The few orders eaten before will basically be eaten within next year, and it is obviously not a way to eat the mountain short, but to open up new customers.

Qi Yiming gave PLA too many things a while ago, resulting in the fact that PLA may not spend much money in the next few years, which made the military smile and show its front teeth, and also made the military enterprises cry a lot, Qi Yiming is bound to find a way for them to live. On the one hand, he asked these enterprises to find customers by themselves, and on the other hand, he also hoped to use this model of military aid purchasing to give blood transfusions to military enterprises.

It seems silly to pay for others to buy things, but the implicit interests and future benefits behind it are what Qi Yiming values. He has a lot of money in his hands, and he himself is not a person who is poor and extravagant, so he is not comfortable without spending a little money.

Fortunately, this kind of military aid does not need to be done too much, because in Qi Yiming's blueprint, high-precision and cutting-edge military enterprises will become real large enterprises with small and large appearance, rather than the kind of tens of thousands of employees in an enterprise in the future, which originally did not earn much, and it was the level of subsistence after being diluted. In the absence of a reliable domestic market, as long as companies are guaranteed to receive more than $3 billion in orders a year, they can remain healthy.

Qi Yiming's military aid to Pakistan of 500 million (counting the real money to enterprises) has been completed one-sixth, plus orders from other countries such as Thailand, this task is actually not difficult to complete. Don't forget that Qi Yiming has created a Nanyang republic in Southeast Asia, and he will purchase at least $1 billion a year from China, which is the most stable source of income.

In addition, those countries in the Middle East Qi Yiming will never give up, the Al Yamaha agreement is not polite to say, just the 7.8 billion US dollar contract, enough for China's military enterprises to collectively eat for 10 years without doing anything else, if it is not for the country's lack of money to take the lion's share of this profit, enterprises do not need to desperately find new customers. Saudi Arabia's follow-up arms purchases, Qi Yiming also continued to follow up, although Saudi Arabia is not as stable as Nanyang, but a sum is enough to eat for ten years. Al? There are still the second and third phases of the Yamaha agreement, and Qi Yiming stuffed a lot of things into Saudi Arabia at one time, but he couldn't stand it and Saudi Arabia felt that it was cheap and wanted to ask for it again.

It is worth mentioning that more than a year ago, Saudi Arabia acquired the DF-3 ballistic missile from China for a high price of $3.5 billion, and the country took away the main profits.

What can I do, such a big country wants to develop its economy, and there is a shortage of money everywhere.

Let's go back to Pakistan and get this list of military aid, but Farouk and others understand the meaning behind Lai Zhenping, if the Gwadar port cannot be implemented, then this list is just a piece of waste paper, don't expect China to honor it.

Hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles, two naval warships, access to the coveted space industry, these are **** that Pakistan can hardly refuse. In particular, the transfer of the J-8 fin whale production line has made Pakistani officials want to take a bite to come. At this time, the Pakistani Air Force has the Thunder Dragon and F-16, and it has an advantage in the face of India's MiG-29, but after all, it is controlled by China and the United States and cannot be autonomous. The J-8 has been in service with the Pakistani Air Force for some time, and although the overall evaluation cannot be compared with the Thunder and F-16, it is still very advantageous compared to the Indian MiG-21 fighters at this level.

The reason is that when it was leased to Pakistan, Shen Fei modified these fin whale interceptors to a certain extent, and the rigid aerodynamic shape could not be changed, but the avionics inside were still modified to a level beyond the general second-generation aircraft, plus high-altitude and high-speed, so as an air defense interceptor, especially in a small country area such as Pakistan, fin whales are particularly suitable. In addition, because it belongs to the second-generation aircraft, it is relatively simple in terms of technology, so if the Chinese do not hide their own secrets and strive to absorb the ground, Pakistan can almost make this fighter on its own. In the future, if they do a good job, they can ask China to transfer the technology of the Thunder Dragon to them, so that the aviation industry can continue to develop from generation to generation.

This wonderful blueprint is drawn up in the minds of many people, and even for some military figures, it is more attractive than the construction of the Gwadar port. The Air Force Colonel naturally imagined a fleet that they could compete with India in the future, with 40 F-16s, 100 FC-1s, and 200 J-8s complementing each other, and it would be even more difficult for India to gain superiority over the Pakistani Air Force.

Even if there is war damage, because it can be made itself, Pakistan can continue to replenish the J-8 operation.

Under such ambition, the proposal for the Gwadar port to be developed and built by China was passed by the government at an unimaginable speed, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Pakistan wants to understand this matter early and obtain a large amount of military aid from China.

Qi Yiming and China have also achieved an extremely important strategic fulcrum on the periphery of the Persian Gulf and on the side of the Indian Ocean.
