Chapter 402: Talks

There are doors on both sides of the wooden house. When Hamad entered from this side, a figure happened to come in from the opposite side.

"General Secretary Gorbachev?"

"President Mhamad?"

The two held hands together: "I'm very happy that we can meet here."

The wooden house has been carefully protected and cleaned. There is a fireplace and it is very warm inside.

He took off his coat and sat down.

"In the past few years, a lot of unpleasantness has occurred between our two countries, but we were not the ones making the decisions at that time." Gorbachev said: "Those decision-makers are no longer here. Now, we have realized that The horror of war.”

Gorbachev's meaning is very obvious. The war in Afghanistan was originally a mistake. This mistake was not made by him, but now he is asked to wipe his ass.

"We hope that we can withdraw our troops from Afghanistan." Gorbachev said: "This damn war should end now."

This was Gorbachev's original intention to come to Mhamad. The Soviet Union did not want to continue this war.

Next to Gorbachev is Marshal Olgakov, who is still in charge of the war in Afghanistan.

In fact, there is no longer a war here, the two sides have reached a secret agreement, and the battlefield in Afghanistan has calmed down. However, as long as the Soviet troops continue to be stationed here, they will need to continuously transport supplies. Since the channel is monopolized by Afghanistan, Afghanistan has to pay tolls to transport supplies back and forth. This is almost a disguised irony.

There is no war anyway, just withdraw your troops. This is Gorbachev's idea, and now. Of course, we have to ask Pakistan 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 break up, and the weapons that should be given must continue to be returned. Mhamad hopes to maintain this situation.

However, the Soviets were impatient, and there was a huge whirlpool here. They're going to kick their legs.

Of course, Mhamad would not say this reason. Mhammad just said lightly: "We also very much hope that this damn war will end and that you can withdraw troops from Afghanistan. That is the best for the future of Afghanistan." , let the Afghans make their own choice.”

Gorbachev was very satisfied after hearing Mhamad's words. He very much hoped to end the war here, and that was the only way. Only then can Ogarkov be transferred back to Moscow to confront Defense Minister Sokolov, now. In the military, many people still listen to Sokolov. They don't dare to do it openly, but they are secretly holding back Gorbachev.

Gorbachev wanted to prevent this from happening.

"However," Mhammad said, "Your domestic situation is complicated, and Marshal Sokolov is the main battler. If you want peace talks, I'm afraid he will obstruct it."

By saying this, Hamad is seriously interfering in the other party's internal affairs. If it were a tougher Brezhnev, I am afraid he would be furious immediately.

However, Gorbachev did not. He knew that the other party was telling the truth. Sokolov would not agree to withdraw troops from Afghanistan. Although Gorbachev used his status as general secretary to order and even deprive Marshal Sokolov's position as Defense Minister did not make the old marshal surrender. We insist that the war in Afghanistan must be carried out and that we must never withdraw our troops.

Seeing that Gorbachev remained silent, Mhamad said: "Actually, I have an idea that can help you solve this problem. When this problem is solved, you can start peace talks with us."

The General Secretary of the most powerful Red Empire actually needs the other party's advice. This was embarrassing enough, but when Hamad finished speaking, Gorbachev's eyes lit up.

This is indeed a good idea!

"Can it succeed?" Marshal Ogarkov said on the side.

"Then it depends on the cooperation of both of us." Mhamad said: "I believe that you can take advantage of this opportunity to clean out those hateful guys. This war is wrong in the first place. If not In this war, the Soviet Union will still be the most powerful and will not have these problems. Ending this war is the first step for your country. Developing your country's economy is the second step."

What Mhamad said next was pure nonsense, but it was very useful to the other party. Thinking of Mhamad's clever plan, everyone present was thinking, this is indeed a solution to the problem!

However, after hearing Mhamad's words, Gorbachev continued: "Yes, the second problem we face is economic development. Our country needs reform and cooperation with foreign countries. We Our country’s advanced technologies, such as nuclear power plants, can be exported.”

Gorbachev said it very seriously.

nuclear power plant! Pakistan decided to build commercial nuclear power plants to provide more electricity for its country. This almost attracted not only the United States, France, and Japan, but also the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union also has huge nuclear power technology. The Soviet Union's huge military industry includes nuclear technology. Their nuclear technology is very advanced. With a little transformation, it can become a nuclear power plant.

In fact, from the mid-1960s to the 1980s, due to the impact of the oil crisis and the optimistic economic performance of nuclear power, nuclear power experienced a large-scale and rapid development stage. A total of 242 nuclear power units were put into operation in the world. During the heyday, a new nuclear power plant was put into operation every 17 days on average. The United States built a batch of 500 to 1100MW pressurized water reactors and boiling water reactors and exported them to other countries; the Soviet Union built 1000MW graphite reactors and 440MW and 1000MW VVER pressurized water reactors; Japan and France introduced and digested the American pressurized water machine and boiling water reactor technology, and became nuclear power powers.

Nuclear power is a civilian technology, and there will not be too many restrictions on export. By exporting nuclear power technology, it can also obtain funds urgently needed for economic development. Therefore, the Soviet Union can also export this technology to Pakistan.

Although the Soviet Union still thinks Pakistan is an enemy, for Gorbachev, it doesn’t matter whether it is an enemy or not. The interests are the most important.

Nuclear power in the Soviet Union? Muhammad didn't think the Soviet Union's nuclear power technology was that advanced. Didn't they have an important nuclear power plant accident?

Muhammad clearly remembered that it was a disaster for the whole world. A major accident occurred at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant on April 26, 1986.

Thinking of this, Muhammad's eyelids suddenly jumped. Now, it was April 20, 1986!

Chernobyl, a small town 110 kilometers north of the Ukrainian capital of Kiev, is a beautiful place, but in just a few days, it will become a hell on earth because of a nuclear power plant accident.

The accident caused 80,000 tons of radioactive materials to fly into the sky, with a radiation level 400 times that of Hiroshima. More than 50 people died on the spot, and the radioactivity caused hundreds of thousands of cancers, including nearly 100,000 deaths.

This is not just a matter for the Soviet Union, but a disaster for the whole world. The Soviet Union spent 18 billion US dollars to deal with the accident, which made the Soviet economy worse. At the same time, innocent civilians died. This is a disaster.

Muhammad's crossing has caused many things to change, but in areas that Muhammad has not affected, history is still continuing as before. This nuclear power plant far away in Ukraine has nothing to do with Muhammad, and has not been affected by Pakistan, so history will definitely develop as before!

What should I do to prevent this human catastrophe from happening? Muhammad made various plans in his mind. It's not that Muhammad suddenly became kind. He killed the enemy on the battlefield without blinking an eye. Now, the dead are innocent civilians, and they are Ukrainians. In the future, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Ukraine has a lot of good things. We must maintain a good relationship with Ukraine.

What should I do? While Muhammad was still thinking in his mind, he heard Gorbachev next to him say: "President Muhammad, what do you think about this? We can give you the most favorable price, one-tenth of the American price!"

The Americans quoted a price more than ten times higher, and the Soviet Union only quoted one-tenth of the American price, which was still profitable. At the same time, the subsequent new nuclear power plant projects would also make the Soviet Union a lot of money.

Unexpectedly, after he made this suggestion, the other party did not speak, and Gorbachev could not help but continue to ask questions. Is the other party afraid of obstruction from the United States? This is pure commercial competition.

"If you feel there is a problem, then we can transfer through a third party." Gorbachev said.

"I want to send someone to inspect your nuclear power plant, especially your Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Now there are four reactors working normally, and two reactors are under construction. We can conduct a comprehensive inspection." Muhammad said.

It turns out that the other party knows so much! Gorbachev was immediately happy in his heart. It seems that there is no big problem in reaching this cooperation!

"Okay, we totally agree." Gorbachev said, "We have a third proposal. Your current Kashmir and Punjab regions are both major grain-producing areas. We hope to use part of the funds from exporting nuclear power plants to directly exchange for your grain and transport it to our Soviet Union."

In the Soviet Union, food was extremely scarce and almost became a rationed supply during the war. In order to obtain more food, the government tried every possible way. Now, Pakistan has two granaries, and the grain production is enough for its own use. The excess can be sold to the Soviet Union at a slightly cheaper price. The food in Western Europe is too expensive. (To be continued ~^~)
