Dominate South Asia

The deployment of Dongfeng missiles is a turning point in Saudi Arabia’s defense strategy. In addition to strengthening Saudi Arabia’s defense, it also allows the Kingdom to assume increasingly important responsibilities in the Middle East and on the world stage.

The biggest enemy of Saudi Arabia and the entire Arab world is Israel. Since the first Middle East War, Israel has tried to impose its will on the region. It has brutally suppressed the Palestinian people in the occupied territories and launched attacks on Arab countries. numerous invasions. Israel has acquired nuclear weapons and the long-range attack aircraft and ballistic missiles that can deliver nuclear weapons. It has a clear military advantage. Not only that, but once they discover that surrounding countries are purchasing Western weapons to improve their defense capabilities, they will be no exception. Make a lot of noise. In order to reduce this kind of incident, Saudi Arabia must need new sources of weapons. Pakistan, which shares the same beliefs with Saudi Arabia and defeated the Soviet Union, is Saudi Arabia's best choice. The weapons systems developed by Pakistan are already very advanced and among the best in the world. This time Prince Sultan came here hoping to sign various agreements and purchase large quantities of weapons from Pakistan.

When the Americans find out, they will definitely continue to shout that Saudi Arabia is ready. Diversified arms imports, not just relying on the United States, are very important to Saudi Arabia.

Prince Sultan stayed in Pakistan for a total of five days and signed tens of billions of dollars in contracts with Pakistan. In addition to secret ballistic missiles, there were also large contracts for fighter planes and warships, as well as the army's main battle weapons. Tanks and armored vehicles.

After sending Saudi Arabia away, Hamad was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth for several days. Who invented the word militarism? That's just incapable of utilization. The huge military industry can also bring a steady stream of economic benefits. A small country like Sweden, doesn't it rely on military industry to maintain the country's economic development?

By exporting these weapons to Saudi Arabia, Pakistan's military industry will enter a healthy development track, not to mention that in the future, Pakistan will dump more weapons to the third world in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

"President Mhamad, we have received another request to visit." Mhamad was sitting in his office, still calculating how much money he made this time, so that the national defense industry would have more financial resources. I received a report from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Another one?" Mhammad asked, "Which country is it?"

"Iraq, President Saddam is coming to visit in person."

Saddam? Mhamad was stunned for a moment. This powerful figure in the Gulf region was coming to Pakistan?

Perhaps in most people's minds, Saddam is just the Saddam of later generations who was chased and hid by the Americans. In the end, he was betrayed by his men, caught by the Americans, and then executed. He was a complete loser.

But, that’s all for later. Due to Mhamad's crossing, the Iran-Iraq war lasted longer and is now about to enter 1992. Iraq has no plans to invade Kuwait, and Saddam is still a powerful figure in the Arab world, with a vague tendency to replace Nasser.

Saddam's life was full of twists and turns. He was born on April 28, 1937, in a small village near Tikrit, a desert town north of Baghdad. When he was young, he actively participated in political activities. In 1957, he joined the underground Baath Party. Two years later, he participated in an assassination attempt on then-Iraqi powerful figure Qassem, wounding him. At the same time, Saddam was injured in the leg during this operation and fled first to Syria and then to Egypt. In 1963, Iraq's Baath Party launched a coup and killed Qassem. However, a few days later, Abdul Salam Arif went back on his words, launched a coup and overthrew the Baath Party government, and ruled as a dictator himself. A few years later, in 1968, the Baath Party and army officers once again launched a coup to overthrow the authoritarian Arif regime. Bakker was president at the time. Saddam was in charge of internal security affairs. In 1979, Bakr resigned due to physical reasons, and Saddam became the president of Iraq. began his era.

A year after taking office, Saddam launched a violent attack on Iran next to him. The two countries shed blood and fought for ten years.

Unlike Gaddafi, Colonel Gaddafi seized power with little effort, while Saddam succeeded after many failures. Such a person is perseverant and at the same time , and belligerent. If it had been another person, there might not have been an Iran-Iraq war or a Gulf War.

History chose Saddam for Iraq. Under Saddam's leadership, Iraq became stronger and eventually perished. Looking at future generations, the United States occupied Iraq and brought so-called democracy to Iraq. What was the result? Iraq under Saddam's dictatorship was at least safe and its people were prosperous. In the 1980s, every household in Iraq had cars and televisions. But what about future generations? There is unrest everywhere in Iraq, and its people are suffering deeply.

Only a country has a home. When the country is in turmoil, the people can only live a poor life in exile. Iraq is obviously a big oil country, but in later generations, Iraq cannot even supply enough oil for cars.

"President Mhamad?" The voice in Mhamad's ear brought him back to reality from his thoughts. Looking at the doubtful eyes of his assistant, Mhamad said: "Welcome President Saddam to come to us. Pakistan."

What did Saddam come to Pakistan for? He must have come to buy weapons. Of course, Muhammad welcomed those who came to give money.

Saddam's visit was delayed for a few days. Time has entered 1992. After New Year's Day, Saddam and his party took a special plane and landed at the airport in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan.

After getting off the plane, Saddam and his party directly asked to go to the Aviation Industry Corporation of Pakistan to see the Tomcat fighter jets produced by Pakistan.

So, Muhammad, who was waiting at the Presidential Palace to welcome Saddam and his party, could only go to the Aviation Industry Corporation to meet Saddam and his party there.

Muhammad knew in his heart that the main purpose of Saddam and his party coming here was probably to buy Tomcat fighter jets produced by Pakistan!

In the Iran-Iraq War, the Iraqi army fought bravely, but the sky was always occupied by the Iranians. The powerful Iranian Tomcat fighters were an absolute nightmare for the Iraqi Air Force. No matter what fighters the Iraqi Air Force used, including the MiG-25 imported from the Soviet Union, they could not fight against the Iranian Tomcat fighters. So after the Soviets opened the sales license for the Su-27, Iraq bought a batch of Su-27 fighters as soon as possible.

However, on the battlefield in Afghanistan, the Soviet Su-27, the most advanced fighter, was also beaten down by Pakistan's Tomcat.

Saddam wanted to buy Tomcat fighters from the United States, but because Iraq was very close to the Soviet Union, the Americans had great concerns, fearing that after Iraq bought this fighter, the Soviets would master all the parameters, so they did not open the purchase license. The Iraqis had money, but they could not buy this fighter.

So, after hearing that Pakistan could produce this powerful fighter by itself, Saddam immediately ran over, got off the plane, and didn't even go to the presidential palace, but ran here directly.

"President Saddam, welcome to Pakistan." At the entrance of the Aviation Industry Corporation, Muhammad stood on the newly laid red carpet and said to Saddam.

Saddam, who was in his fifties, still looked the same, with a small mustache, and his body had become a little fat, but his eyes were very sharp on his fat face.

Because of his anger, he fought a protracted war with Iran. Although the country became poor, Iraq had the most powerful military force in the Gulf region. At this time, this person's temperament was solemn.

"President Muhammad, I'm very sorry. I was going to the presidential palace, but I was really eager to see the Tomcat fighter jets produced by your country, so I came here." Saddam said to Muhammad: "Your air force won a decisive victory in the Afghan war, which made all of us pay close attention."

"Very welcome, this is the pride of our Pakistan." Muhammad said.

Behind Saddam were Ibrahim, the chief of staff of the Iraqi armed forces, and Hamid, the commander-in-chief of the air force. Their eyes stayed on the factory in the distance. It was obvious that they were quite interested in the fighter jets produced by Pakistan.

After the greetings, accompanied by Muhammad, the senior officials from Iraq visited the production line of the Aviation Industry Corporation.

Different countries must be treated differently. Saudi Arabia has no ambitions now. At the same time, in order to obtain Saudi investment, Muhammad told Saudi Arabia many secrets of weapons. Iraq is not a particularly reliable friend. Muhammad did not reveal to them Pakistan’s current huge funds to develop fourth-generation aircraft plans, but only led them to visit the current production of Tomcat fighters.

In the battlefield, Iraq suffered a lot from this Tomcat fighter. There was even a saying in the Iraqi Air Force that as long as the radar signal of the Tomcat fighter AWG-9 was found, it must run away quickly!

"Yes, it is indeed a new fighter plane!" Saddam was very straightforward: "Brother Muhammad, we hope to order 100 Tomcat fighter planes!"

At this time, Saddam's expression was full of big money. In fact, after the Iran-Iraq War, Iraq's foreign exchange reserves had long been gone, and it owed tens of billions. Now, when it comes to ordering, it is very generous. (To be continued ~^~)
