Dominate South Asia

Submarines are an important underwater force. If Argentina had these two submarines in the Falklands War, the outcome of the Falklands War might have been rewritten. German-made submarines are technologically advanced and have excellent underwater silent performance. If Taiwan had obtained these two submarines, they would have an outstanding underwater advantage.

Now, Taiwan has only a few backward submarines and almost no combat capability, while the mainland has only old Soviet-designed submarines, and the mainland's anti-submarine forces are also quite weak. Anti-submarine weapons are almost dominated by anti-submarine rockets, and there is no advanced sonar equipment. If Taiwan has an underwater advantage, it will bring serious consequences.

Therefore, after hearing what Muhammad said, the expressions of several military generals present immediately became serious.

"We must not let Taiwan get these two submarines! Put pressure on Argentina through diplomatic channels." Deng Gong said.

After all, China is also one of the five permanent members of the Security Council, and exerting pressure through diplomacy can play a role.

"It's not just Argentina, the important one is Germany." Muhammad said.

Although the two submarines were built in Argentina, all the equipment was imported from Germany, which is the main supplier. As long as Germany issued a statement that if Taiwan gets the two submarines, Germany will not provide the remaining equipment and refuse to perform subsequent maintenance on these equipment, then even if Taiwan gets the submarines, it will be useless.

Germany now has a good relationship with Pakistan, and the two sides have carried out a lot of military cooperation, including the engine that Pakistan secretly provided to Germany. The AL-31F on the Su-27 fighter is a high-thrust engine. The afterburner thrust exceeds 100 kilonewtons. Germany can gain a lot of experience with the RD33 it obtained before.

Pakistan and China put pressure on Germany together, and Germany will definitely agree. In this way, the two submarines will have no buyers, Argentina will be forced to lower the price, and Pakistan can buy the two submarines at the most favorable price.

Pakistan also needs submarines! Muhammad has long been eyeing the two submarines, but now is not the right time. He needs to ruin the business between Taiwan and Argentina first, and then he can come on stage.

"Yes, we need to make our position clear to Germany at the same time. We don't want to see Taiwan have Germany's most advanced submarines." Deng Gong continued.

Now, except for France, which can sell arms wantonly without worrying about various influences, other countries have to be cautious. After all, France is not a member of NATO and is not subject to NATO control.

"We will also lodge a serious protest with Germany." Muhammad said: "With our common opposition, Germany will make their choice."

This matter is not difficult, and it was solved in this way in history. Under the diplomatic efforts of the mainland, Argentina had to give up exports, and Germany would not provide subsequent maintenance, and Taiwan's dream of advanced submarines was broken.

"Our two countries have common interests. We can only continue to make progress if we work together to develop together." Muhammad said: "Now, our roads have been built. We plan to build a road to Iran in northern Afghanistan. When this road is built, our exchanges with Central Asia and the Middle East will be smoother."

Deng Gong's eyes suddenly lit up. Now. The country is undergoing reforms and developing the economy, which requires a huge consumer market. Iran seems to be a good choice!

Moreover, from land. Through Pakistan, it will be transferred to the Middle Eastern countries. It will also greatly shorten the transportation distance, which is of great significance!

The last time Muhammad came, the two sides decided to build a road, and now, two years have passed, and this road has been built!

The road in northern Afghanistan is difficult to travel, but there are many mines there. If Pakistan's industry is to develop, it needs the mineral deposits in northern Afghanistan. Therefore, it is necessary to build a road that runs from east to west. At the same time, it can also solve Pakistan's most important energy shortage problem. In the future, an oil pipeline can be built in southern Afghanistan.

This road can also facilitate the transportation of materials in China.

"President Muhammad, you have a long-term vision. You are a versatile person in military, politics, and economy. Pakistan is lucky to have you as president." Deng Gong said.

Other families have become history. Now Muhammad is the most suitable ruler of Pakistan.

"Mr. Deng, thank you for your praise. We are now mainly engaged in military exchanges." Muhammad said, "I want to visit Chengdu Aircraft Corporation and Xi'an Aircraft Corporation this time to see how the fighter jet development there is going."

Historically, because the country has invested most of its energy in economic construction, many national defense projects have been discontinued, and the development of fighter jets, which require high investment, has progressed slowly. But now, the situation has changed a lot. With the help of Pakistan, the Spey engine has finally completed all localization and improved advanced models.

By exporting these engines to South Africa and Iran, the country has obtained sufficient research and development funds. Even if the country does not allocate funds, the development of fighter jets is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Moreover, by comparing with the Pakistani air force, the senior military officials in China have seen what modern air combat is, realized the huge gap between themselves and foreign countries, and gradually strengthened their attention to air force equipment. The development of fighter jets of Xi'an Aircraft and Chengdu Aircraft has made rapid progress.

When he heard Muhammad say that he wanted to go down to have a look, Mr. Deng was also happy: "I will go with you to have a look. I also hope to see our fighter jets take off as soon as possible."

Mr. Deng knew that Xi'an Aircraft and Chengdu Aircraft were both carrying out key projects, and he was very concerned about them. The original JH-7 project was also approved by him, but there were many national affairs, and he had never had time to go around. Now, meeting Muhammad, he can take time out.

The next day, Mr. Deng and Muhammad came to Xi'an Aircraft.

When he learned that the Chairman and Pakistan were coming, Chen Yijian was very excited. He welcomed the arrival of the motorcade at the gate. When he saw the Chairman and President Muhammad get off the car, Chen Yijian was even more excited.

"Chairman, President, welcome to Xi'an Aircraft for inspection!" Chen Yijian said.

"Mr. Chen, how is the development of the Flying Leopard going?" Muhammad asked.

"It has already started flight tests. During the first flight test, some problems occurred, but now they have been overcome." Chen Yiqian said.

It has already started flight tests! Historically, this type of military aircraft only started flight tests in 1988, and in 1986, it was facing the risk of being discontinued again. Now, due to the intervention of Pakistan, the development progress of this fighter has been greatly accelerated, and now, it has begun to test flights in an orderly manner!

It has already started flight tests? Muhammad was excited when he heard this: "Then let's go to the test flight site first to see the Flying Leopard."

Muhammad was very interested, so he did not enter the 603 Institute, but went to the airport first.

At the end of the runway, there was a twin-engine fighter plane parked, with a single vertical tail, two seats, normal aerodynamic layout, and air intakes on both sides. When Muhammad saw this plane, he immediately thought of the fighter planes that equipped the troops and guarded the sea in the future, and couldn't help but say: "Great, the Flying Leopard finally flew!"

Flight testing is to test various data during design and detect various possible faults and hidden dangers of the aircraft, which is very dangerous.

"The fighter plane we developed ourselves has already started flight testing." Mr. Deng was also very excited.

"Report, today's test flight subject is the high-altitude maximum speed subject." Test pilot Huang Bingxin and navigator Yang Buxin, holding helmets, said to Mr. Deng and Muhammad who came to the end of the runway.

"Captain Huang, I'm here, waiting for you to complete the test flight and come back." Mr. Deng said.

High-altitude maximum speed subject? Muhammad seemed to remember the information he had read before, but he couldn't remember the details. He watched the two salute and walk onto the plane.

Flames spewed out of the tail of the Flying Leopard fighter, and the two Spey engines ignited smoothly. The fighter taxied on the runway and then rushed into the blue sky.

Since they suddenly proposed to come here, there was no parasol, so they put a few chairs on the ground, and Mr. Deng and Muhammad and others sat down.

"This fighter looks really beautiful." Muhammad said: "This is the first fighter designed by you, abandoning the appearance of Soviet fighters."

Although it still retains the wing blades and even the three-piece windshield, this is a great progress after all.

"Yes, we have been greatly inspired by your fighter planes. Unfortunately, due to the limitations of our technology, we are still using hydraulic transmission and counterweights for the fire control system. We are waiting to share technology with Chengfei and wait for Chengfei to successfully develop and replace it with an integrated fire control system and a digital telex system."

To launch a missile on a Soviet fighter plane, you need to flip multiple switches, while on an American fighter plane, it is very easy and convenient, because the American fighter plane uses an integrated fire control system, which integrates various fire control systems through the B data bus technology, while the Soviet fighter planes are still separate. Every time a weapon is added, the corresponding control system must be added, which is extremely cumbersome.

Therefore, the integrated fire control system is the trend. Xi'an Aircraft Corporation has limited power. Now it is working on the fuselage. After Chengfei's development is successful, it can be directly taken over.

Chengfei has successfully copied the flat slot radar. When designing, it has already decided to use an integrated fire control system. Now, they are overcoming various technical difficulties, while Xi'an Aircraft is conducting a comprehensive development of the airframe. Most countries are like this. When the Su-27 was tested, the radar and other things also used counterweights. (To be continued ~^~)
