Dominate South Asia

Fear comes from ignorance. Even if the Soviets equip the Su-27, Mhammad is not worried because he has already known the weaknesses of this fighter aircraft due to declassified information from later generations. However, this Mirage 4000 has never been put into service. It is not that its performance is backward, but that it was born at the wrong time.

Now, this kind of fighter will be equipped with the Indian Air Force. The inherent characteristics of the canard layout will give this kind of fighter an advantage in air combat. Pakistan must find ways to remove this advantage!

Of course, even if the Indians are really equipped with this kind of fighter, Hamad is also aware of some of its disadvantages. In addition to the supporting medium-range air-to-air missiles that are too bad and the range is too short, another shortcoming is its engine.

Among all third-generation aircraft, the M53 engine equipped with the Mirage 2000 is the only single-rotor engine. This engine has only one rotating shaft, while the engines of the other third-generation aircraft are all dual-rotor structures, with two rotating shafts sleeved together. , the speeds of the high-pressure machine and the low-pressure machine are different, so as to achieve a good operating performance.

Therefore, no matter how beautiful it is, the anti-surge performance of the M53 engine is definitely the worst. Even if it is turned into a dual-engine and installed on the Mirage 4000, this performance is also the worst. In real air combat, You can still take it into the ditch.

While Mhammad was analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the Mirage 4000, he began to make arrangements to deal with the threat of the French Mirage 4000. On the other hand, there was also the important issue of aircraft carrier modification.

The next day, Mhamad met with the U.S. ambassador to Pakistan.

"We are very happy to see that just two days ago, the Lebanese extremist organization released the young man Jansen. He seems to be in good condition." Mhamad told Arnold.

As a result of the first deal, the youngster was released.

"Yes. Thanks to your help." Arnold said: "We are now very much looking forward to the rest of the people being released as well."

"Then we need both of us to show more sincerity." Mhammad said: "We will continue to send people to contact Iran."

"The one we most hope to release is Barkley. Next time, we hope Barkley is released first," Arnold said.

"These are beyond my control," Mhammad said. "We can only say that we tried our best."

"We want to solve these problems as soon as possible." Arnold said: "President Reagan decided to send Lieutenant Colonel North, deputy assistant for national security affairs, to personally go to Iran to negotiate with Khomeini."

Originally, Pakistan acted as a middleman so that Pakistan could get some of the money from the middle. But now, the United States actually wants to negotiate directly with Iran!

Hamad frowned immediately.

"What, are you having any difficulties?" Arnold asked.

"We don't have any difficulties." Mhamad said: "It's just that we are worried that if this matter is leaked, it will cause a lot of trouble to President Reagan. Now, we in Pakistan can take all the responsibility on ourselves. , If your country directly sends people to negotiate with Khomeini, then President Reagan will probably not be more popular than President Carter once it is known by the media."

The United States will not compromise with terrorists. This is a firm position. If the American people knew that the government actually used weapons to exchange hostages with the Iranian government, it would mean a crisis of confidence for President Reagan.

"So, we want to be more stealthy," Arnold said. They are very determined on this matter.

"Okay, I can send someone to contact you." Hamad could not express any objection.

"There is another thing." Mhamad said: "According to the contract, your shipyard will send people to help us repair the warship. However, until now, we have not seen your personnel. We hope that your shipyard will send people to help us repair the warship." Fang will send someone to help us repair it as soon as possible. At the same time, we still need three things."

C-11 catapults, welding equipment, and more steel plates needed for aircraft carriers. Looking at these requirements, Arnold couldn't help but said: "President Mhamad. At the beginning, we hoped that these equipment would be more suitable for modification in our shipyard."

"Now that we have started back, we very much hope that you can provide it as soon as possible." Mhamad said.

"We're going to push the shipyards," Arnold said.

Watching Arnold leave, Mhamad knew that the Americans had also deeply learned the ability to delay in the international community, and they definitely wanted to delay this matter this time.

It seems that it’s time to give Americans some more eye drops.

Within a few days, news came from Iran that Iran refused to have direct contact with the Americans. For them, the United States is still the devil and the big Satan.

Faced with the uncooperative attitude of the Iranians, the United States seems to have begun to change its attitude and is no longer so interested in continuing to trade weapons for hostages with Iran.

Hamad deduced the behavior of the Americans for a long time, and finally felt that the Americans should want to solve these hostage problems once and for all, so as not to use a large number of weapons each time to exchange only one hostage, which would be a huge loss.

The Americans seem to have calculated correctly that the Iranians want to go to war and are in great need of American weapons, especially spare parts for Tomcat fighter jets. The United States wants to pinch Khomeini's neck in this regard and make Iran agree to give them plan.

It's a pity that Americans underestimate Iran. Iran made the decision to cooperate with the Big Satan with great determination. Now, it is absolutely impossible for the United States to use this method to hold Iran back. of.

Soon, a picture appeared in front of everyone on TV.

A masked terrorist spoke in front of the camera: "Because the United States has not agreed to our demands, we have lost patience. Now, we will kill the first hostage."

Next to him, the hostage who was tied to a chair had his hood removed, revealing the face of a Westerner, none other than Buckley, the CIA Beirut station chief!

At this time, Buckley's eyes were swollen with fear as he watched the person in front of him speak in Arabic, and then showed a long scimitar.

"No!" Buckley exclaimed.

"Whoa!" The terrorist swung his machete and slashed at Buckley's neck.

Blood spattered and the head flew off. Due to the high pressure of the heart, blood sprayed several meters high from the neck. Even the camera lens was scarlet.

"Damn!" Turning off the TV, Reagan stood up and walked back and forth in the room.

"Obviously, they are challenging us." CIA Director William said: "These terrorists released such a video as a demonstration that we will not continue to deal with Iran."

It was his men who died, and William immediately started investigating.

"After all this time, we still can't find their hiding place?" Reagan said.

Reagan doesn't mind using force when necessary. That's the case now. Reagan doesn't actually want to make more deals with Iran. He wants to solve it through force.

"I don't know, they are too cunning, and the people there reject us Westerners, so they can't start their work," William said.

Although the CIA claims to be all-pervasive, it cannot go everywhere. For example, in Iran, Americans absolutely cannot get in. People there hate Americans. It is also difficult for the United States to carry out its work in war-torn areas in the Middle East.

Without intelligence, they could not organize a rescue operation.

"We have no choice." Vice President Bush said: "After this video is broadcast, it will bring great pressure to us. If we do not rescue the remaining hostages, we will not be able to explain to the people."

Bush can see the effect after the video is broadcast. The American people will be very angry, and at the same time, it will also evolve into dissatisfaction with the government.

"Can we only continue to trade with Iran through Pakistan?" Reagan said.

"We have no choice." The Secretary of State also expressed the same opinion.

"Report, there is another emergency." At this moment, the deputy director of the CIA rushed in: "In Egypt, a bus carrying more than 20 tourists was hijacked, including five of our citizens."

Appeared again? Reagan was stunned for a moment, and the cigar in his mouth fell to the ground.

Needless to say, this must be an Iranian demonstration! Damn it!

American citizens cannot always stay on American soil. They like freedom and can travel to various countries. However, the United States must ensure the safety of every citizen. This is a sign of the strength of the United States.

Now, what to do?

"Who else is in the car?" William asked.

"There are also 16 Frenchmen, two Italians, and three Middle Easterners. We suspect that these three Middle Easterners are insiders."

"Ignore others, we have to rescue our citizens first," Reagan said.

Pakistan.

After receiving the order, Arnold once again asked to see Pakistan Vice President Mhammad. However, he came several times in a row but failed to see Mhamad. He was not in Islamabad.

"I have important things." Arnold said, "Excuse me, where is the president of your country?"

"He went to Karachi," the person in charge said to Arnold.

Karachi? What to do in Karachi? Arnold quickly figured it out. There was a big ship docked in Karachi.

If the United States wants to get Pakistan to pull the strings again, I'm afraid it has to agree to Pakistan's request. This time, the United States did not get any benefits. It gave Pakistan a decommissioned aircraft carrier in vain. There was not much benefit. Now it is forced by the situation and has to take the initiative to help Pakistan's own shipyards to repair their aircraft carriers. , This is simply a slap in the face to them. Will the Navy regret it at this time?

After pondering for a while outside the presidential palace, Arnold decided to go back to the embassy first and report the current situation to the president, and then go to President Hamad. (To be continued ~^~)
