Dominate South Asia

Faced with the Soviet Union's wooing, the United States also began to lower its status and provide Pakistan with a nuclear power plant at a preferential price, planned to be located in the east of Peshawar. In this way, in addition to providing power to the industrial areas in northern Pakistan, it can also provide Northern Afghanistan, close to Pakistan, supplies enough electricity.

If this nuclear power plant operates stably, Pakistan will also build a second nuclear power plant in the south, near Karachi, to meet the power demand in the south.

Pakistan's economic development is inseparable from the guarantee of electricity. These two sets of power stations will make Pakistan's economic development faster.

Pakistan's industry has developed vigorously. The ore mined from northern Afghanistan is transported to Pakistan via roads and smelted in factories in Pakistan. Through this, the construction of the land transportation artery between Pakistan and China will soon be completed. , This will greatly promote cooperation between Pakistan and China.

Active in the mountainous areas of northern Afghanistan are not only local Afghans, but also some other companies. For example, the American Lawn Industries Company contracted one of the mines.

When the Afghan free government lacks sufficient sources of funds, contracting mines to others to obtain sufficient funds is also a necessary measure for various governments in the early stages of development.

Moreover, this can also help the Afghan free government and influence the attitude of the United States. When Americans are also mining in northern Afghanistan, the US president will naturally consider the interests of these Americans.

Compared with mining in other places, the scale here is larger. The high-power mining equipment imported from the United States is several people tall and can fill a dump truck with only one shovel. Americans also use the most direct method. The ordinary sand and gravel in the upper part of the mine is peeled off, which can be used to widen the road, and then the ore inside is mined, eliminating the need to dig a mining hole.

These are copper mines, and along with them, there is a rare metal.

The ore here is mined and sent to a joint venture between the United States and Pakistan in the north of Peshawar. It is smelted into copper, and those rare metals are continued to be transported to Karachi, loaded on freighters, and shipped back to the United States for smelting.

There are some Americans who are in charge of the mines.

Huge electric shovels dug up the mines and shoveled them onto large dump trucks. The entire construction site was bustling with activity.

Osama uses a telescope. Observing this place carefully, after receiving the order from President Hamad, they have thoroughly investigated the surrounding area. Those in his own government had no direct access to the United States, so Osama finally set his sights on the Americans here.

Especially the mine here is located on the border with Turkmenistan, and is only ten kilometers away from the wooden house where President Hamad met. On a clear day, if you set up a high-magnification military telescope here, you can completely see the situation over there.

Therefore, Osama finally focused his suspicion here.

Looking at the busy construction site here, Osama spat hard on the ground and said, "Let's go down and take a look."

Osama and his party. We took a pickup truck and walked towards the construction site. The number plate hanging in front was the Afghan government's number plate.

Seeing this car coming, the person in charge of the construction site. Bill immediately came to greet him.

"Minister Osama, you are welcome to come here for inspection." Bill said to Osama.

Except for the war. Osama also has a status in the Afghan free government. He is the economic minister of the Afghan free government. These Americans came to mine the mines and negotiated contracts with Osama.

"Well, some people responded and said that you are illegally mining here. I came to take a look." Osama said.

Illegal mining? Bill was stunned for a moment. Now, the economy of the free government has begun to improve. Could it be that they want to take back the mining rights of the mine? Bill's face instantly turned into a smile: "How is that possible? We all mined according to the original agreement."

"We will launch a month-long management operation here. During this period, please temporarily stop mining." Osama said.

"How is this possible!" Bill said: "This is a power that infringes on our freedom. Since we have signed the contract, we have the right to mine here!"

"You can go and protest to us through the diplomatic service, always, we have to check." Osama said, turning away.

Watching Osama leave, Bill had anger on his face. These Afghan bumpkins used to rely solely on the support of the United States to prevent them from falling behind in the fight against the Soviet Union. But now, the situation has just improved. , they started to deal with the Americans, damn it!

Wait, they ordered the closure of the mines here for no reason, is there any special situation? Thinking of this, Bill immediately made up his mind.

Three days later, late at night.

The construction site has stopped working, and most of the workers have returned to Peshawar, Pakistan, to stay in the city. There are only a few guards left here.

"Rumble, rumble." In the distant valley, there was a roar, the sound of an engine! A car is passing!

There is only one mine nearby here, and there is no other fleet at all! Could this sound be coming from the direction of Turkmenistan?

The Pakistanis must be colluding with the Soviets!

Thinking of the situation observed last time, the leaders of the two countries were meeting in secret, and they must have reached some secret agreement! Bill quietly came out of the mine dormitory where he lived and went in the direction of the roar.

After climbing up the hill on this side, Bill took out something like a telescope. This is the most advanced night vision device in the country. Through this thing, you can see clearly in the dark night. In the dark green fluorescence, you can see that it is a Scud missile launcher! Although the opponent's vehicle body is covered with camouflage nets, the night vision device can easily penetrate the camouflage nets and see what is inside.

A large four-axle vehicle with wide tires is a typical military vehicle, and there is a cylindrical thing on the top, which must be a missile! Looking at the length, there is no other type except Scud. The four corners of the car, and the hydraulic legs, further confirmed Bill's judgment.

The Soviets proposed to destroy medium-range ballistic missiles with the United States, but in fact, they were secretly selling their medium- and short-range missiles! This Scud missile launcher must have been sold to Pakistan by the Soviets!

No wonder they had to stop working in their mines! The mountain roads here are wide enough to allow multi-axle missile launchers to come over!

What is Pakistan going to do? They actually want to have ballistic missiles! This is something the United States absolutely cannot allow. Report to the country immediately!

Bill picked up the satellite communication terminal and contacted the country directly. At the same time, he asked the flight squadron here to go out immediately to intercept the missile vehicle!

"That Bill is indeed an American spy!" A man next to Osama said, "The last time the news was leaked, it must have been him who notified it. I think we might as well kill him!"

"Why kill him? The Americans are still our friends for the time being. We can't touch him. Let us know that he leaked the secret. Maybe it will be useful in the future." Osama said.

Air Force Base in the north of Jalalabad.

A large MH-53 helicopter took off from the airport. All the people on the plane were Americans.

These helicopters were originally donated by the Americans to search for the wreckage of Soviet fighter planes. After that, the Afghan Free Army had its own pilots, and the Americans mainly served as instructors. It was the first time that an American personally took off a fighter plane, and the Americans did not notify the Afghan side. They almost came out of the dormitory and started the helicopter directly.

Amid the roar, the helicopter quickly drove towards the northern mountainous area. They wanted to get there immediately and not let the car slip away!

The Scud missile launcher started from the Turkmenistan base and came all the way to Pakistan. What does this represent? The Soviet Union wanted to develop its economy, so it had to rely on funds. Where did the funds come from? In addition to the agreement to compete for nuclear power plants, there was also the sale of arms!

Scud missiles have been sold to many countries and have long been spread around the world. Even if Pakistan has Scud missiles, it cannot be said that they were sold by the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union can still make a lot of money from it!

So, the Americans were dispatched quickly. Under their noses, Pakistan dared to do this. It was really too much!

When the helicopter flew over, the east was already white. The car drove to a remote valley and stopped there. It seemed that it was trying to avoid the reconnaissance satellites that might appear during the day and continue to move at night.

Stop this car!

The American pilot operated the bulky MH-53 and landed on the open space at one end of the valley. At the same time, several American soldiers holding M16 ran out of the cabin.

They are responsible for the safety of these pilots. They are all from the US special forces. At critical times, they can even perform tasks like this.

Four axles and large off-road tires, this is definitely a Scud missile launcher! Moreover, from a distance, the top of the car is carrying such a large cylinder, and the front is pointed, it is definitely a Scud!

Several bearded Afghans got off the car. They were about to get off to rest, and they were greeted by the Americans.

"What are you doing?" The Afghan asked.

"Hold your heads and squat down!" The American soldiers were on full alert and controlled the Afghans.

Then, they quickly stepped forward and lifted the camouflage net on the car body. Suddenly, everyone was stunned.

Damn, this is not a Scud missile! It's a pile driver! Damn, who brought this information? (To be continued ~^~)
