Dominate South Asia

Chapter 615: Barter

"Our country is facing serious problems. The economy is stagnant and the government is inefficient. Especially our government, it is time to reform!" At seven o'clock that night, Venezuela's national television broadcast this picture. The serious middle-aged man appeared on TV: "I am Chavez, the commander of the airborne battalion. Now, I control our government. Our action is caused by the government! Our government must be reformed! Our president Perez can no longer perform the duties of the president due to physical reasons. Now, our country is temporarily replaced by Vice President McHonma until the next general election. We will strive to maintain the stability of the country. Anyone who dares to undermine the stability of our country will be severely punished by law. Now, please let our President Mike speak to everyone."

The national power of Venezuela has been changed! This man named Chavez is the mastermind of this rebellion! But now, the position of the president of the country is temporarily taken over by the vice president.

This is a chess move. If Chavez directly announces his succession to the new president and reorganizes the country, he will face greater resistance. After all, he is just the commander of a small airborne battalion. Therefore, it is in line with the country's laws for the vice president to temporarily take over the president's position. In fact, it means to hold the emperor hostage to command the princes.

This vice president is a survivor and has been completely controlled by Chavez, including his family. If he does not cooperate, he will be killed immediately, including his family. Under Chavez's coercion and inducement, the vice president can only choose to cooperate with Chavez and obey Chavez completely.

One order after another was passed down, and Chavez was quickly controlling the country, and those who did not cooperate would be solved by Osama with fierce means.

Faced with the new situation in Venezuela. The United States responded quickly, claiming that the rebellion in Venezuela was not in Venezuela's own interests. The United States was very dissatisfied with the current situation in Venezuela and hoped that they could recognize the situation and restore the country to normal track. Otherwise, the United States would impose sanctions on Venezuela!

Venezuela is not Panama, and it has the interests of the Panama Canal. The United States still has a large number of troops stationed in the Panama Canal Zone. Venezuela is a large land country and is relatively far from the United States. Moreover, without vital interests, the United States has no need to start a war. Although Venezuela has oil resources, they are far less important than those in the Middle East.

Now, the Middle East has begun to talk nonsense. Iraq has begun to clamor for Kuwait to maliciously exploit their underground oil. It requires Kuwait to stop such actions and compensate Iraq for its losses. This behavior makes the United States feel that Saddam is simply a mad dog. He will bite whoever he wants to bite.

Of course, Chavez will not compromise. He has finally gained state power and started to transform the country. Chavez's revolutionary career has just begun and he will never stop.

After the deadline of the US ultimatum arrived, the United States announced sanctions against Venezuela. All US-made equipment in Venezuela will not receive any parts supply.

Because of the good relationship with the United States in the past. Venezuela's weapons can be said to be all US-made. Now, the US sanctions will completely disarm the Venezuelan army.

"We will never compromise with the United States." Chavez said in his office. Next to him is Venezuela's President Mike.

Hearing his words, Mike followed up and said, "Yes. We will not compromise, but what about our weapons?"

"At worst, we can sell all these weapons. The world is not the only one willing to sell weapons to us. France, the Soviet Union, or China can all sell weapons to us." Chavez said.

Sell! Chavez's words were too absolute. If the Americans wanted to impose sanctions, Chavez's approach would be to sell all these weapons. Anyway, Venezuela has oil, and the United States is trying to restrict Venezuela through economic sanctions, which is absolutely impossible. Selling American weapons will make the American sanctions become a piece of waste paper.

"Mr. President, the Pakistani ambassador wants to see you." At this time, a secretary came in and reported.

Pakistani ambassador? What are they doing here? Mike had doubts in his heart, but Chavez had a smile on his face: "Please ask them to come in immediately."

The Pakistani ambassador came in soon, and behind him, there was a Pakistani military attaché in Venezuela. The military attaché smiled at Chavez, and Chavez immediately recognized that this guy was Mr. Ben!

"Mr. President, the United States has imposed sanctions on your country. Your advanced fighter jets will become a pile of scrap metal. We are very dissatisfied with this. Although we cannot express it publicly, we will support Venezuela's revolutionary cause in practical actions. Therefore, we can provide Venezuela with a fighter jet made by ourselves." The President of Pakistan said.

Fighter jets made in Pakistan? McHonma was stunned. When will Pakistan be able to manufacture fighter jets? Fighter jets cannot be made just by saying so. Only advanced industrial countries can manufacture them. It seems that Pakistan's fighter jets are mainly bought from the United States, right?

"Okay, okay." Without waiting for Mike to speak, Chavez nodded repeatedly: "Sure enough, Pakistan is our good friend. What does your self-made fighter jet look like?"

"It is a third-generation fighter jet developed by ourselves. We have all the production capabilities." Osama said from behind: "We can't bring you the fighter jet now, but we have brought the information. Please turn on your computer."

Osama took out a computer floppy disk in his hand. This is an important mobile storage device in this era. Although the capacity is limited, it is enough to store fighter data.

After inserting the floppy disk into the computer and pushing Mike aside, Chavez looked at the contents of the floppy disk and the outline of a fighter jet appeared on the screen.

"This is a fighter jet we made ourselves. It has air intake in the belly, side fins, fly-by-wire operation, and a high-thrust turbofan engine at the tail. It has excellent maneuverability and strong mounting capacity. The airborne radar is also produced by Pakistan. Yes, you can use medium-range air-to-air missiles. As far as I know, your F-16 fighter jets, like ours in Pakistan, can only fire combat missiles. "

Looking at this fighter, which is almost the same as an F-16, Chavez nodded: "Yes, we can order it after our Air Force officially inspects it. When can we go for inspection?"

"We will arrange with the country to ask you to inspect it as soon as possible," Osama said.

The fighter jet he introduced was, of course, the purely export-oriented Xiaolong fighter jet. After deceiving Saddam Hussein, he used it to deceive Chavez again.

Since there are already hundreds of potential orders, the development of this fighter is progressing rapidly. Chengdu Aircraft has begun manufacturing the first prototype. Once it is manufactured, representatives from Venezuela can naturally be arranged to inspect it.

"How much does this fighter cost?" President Mike asked cautiously.

"It's not expensive, probably about 20 to 30 million US dollars." Osama said: "With your financial capacity, you can purchase hundreds of them."

With Venezuela’s current financial capabilities! Now Mike is forced to implement one measure after another by Chavez. The country's investment is very large, the national treasury is almost empty, and there is simply not enough funds to purchase more fighters.

"I'm afraid we don't have enough funds." Mike said. Chavez next to him was already eager to try. Mike had to explain the current situation clearly.

"If you don't have enough funds, we can also use other payment methods, such as barter." Osama said: "As far as I know, you have 23 F16A/B fighter jets and 8 C-130 Transport aircraft and 20 UH-60C Black Hawk utility helicopters. Due to US sanctions, these aircraft have lost their parts supply. I am afraid they will all rot in the hangar. Why don't you hand over these aircraft to us and we will use new fighters? What do you think of the exchange?”

Using those dilapidated aircraft and exchanging them with Pakistan for new ones, Venezuela took advantage. After all, these aircraft lacked spare parts and were about to lose their ability to fly.

"Of course, that would be great," Chavez said.

Venezuela cannot serve these aircraft, but Pakistan is different. After all, Pakistan owns all three types of aircraft. Although the number of F-16 fighters is small, after all, they were all purchased from 1985 to 1988. At least the good ones are there. More than 90% of them are shipped to Pakistan and can join the army for active service as long as they are re-maintained.

As for the C-130 transport aircraft, it is an excellent transport aircraft. Pakistan has dozens of them in its army. The other Black Hawk helicopters are also excellent general-purpose helicopters.

Venezuela can no longer operate, so it is better to package it and hand it over to Pakistan. This is one of the reasons why Osama came here to help Chavez. He made Chavez's coup successful and sold himself some rags. What else can he say? Words?

Sure enough, Chavez agreed. Mike on the side looked ugly. Who knows whether this Pakistani fighter jet is reliable or not? It just took away all the good things in the Venezuelan Air Force. Although the United States imposed sanctions, but In the international arms smuggling market, we can still get some accessories.

However, seeing Chavez's excitement, he still chose to remain silent with great self-knowledge.

"In that case, let's go back and find someone to receive it." Osama said with a smile on his face, and drove the equipment back first! By then, will Venezuela have any other choice besides choosing its own fighter jets? (To be continued ~^~)
