Dominate South Asia

Southern Saudi Arabia, desert area.

Several large vehicles with seven- and eight-axle drives were galloping quickly on the desert. The high sand dunes and soft sand did not hinder their progress at all. Along with the roar of the engine, and the continuous smoke coming from the exhaust pipe. There was black smoke, and the convoy was moving forward according to the predetermined plan.

Finally, we came to a launch site. Although the outside was still covered by desert, under the sand was a solid reinforced concrete base. Moreover, the coordinates here had been determined long ago, so we could quickly complete the pre-launch mission. work.

The convoy stopped here. The shiny rocket on the top of one of the vehicles was pushed up by a hydraulic cylinder and became vertical. Another fuel refueling vehicle drove nearby. Officers and soldiers wearing gas masks , and began to quickly refuel the rocket.

Almost at the same time, Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister delivered a speech in Riyadh that shocked the whole world: “We in Saudi Arabia are peace-loving, but we are absolutely not afraid of war, and we in Saudi Arabia have the ability to protect our country from all attacks. In response to the invasion of foreign enemies, today we will test-fire one of our own missiles from our southern desert area, and the impact point will be 60 degrees east longitude, on the sea near the equator."

From Saudi Arabia, all the way to the equator! The range exceeds two thousand kilometers! The whole world was shocked when they heard the news. Although in the past, because of the uproar over Saudi missiles, the United States even put a lot of pressure on Saudi Arabia, but after Saudi Arabia protested, the matter was dismissed. No one knew that Saudi Arabia actually had Medium range ballistic missile!

Almost ten minutes after the Foreign Secretary delivered his speech, the countdown to ballistic missile firing in the desert began.

"Ignite!" Since joining this force, all Saudi soldiers have been anonymous. Even their families couldn't tell them, and their wives even became suspicious, thinking that if they didn't come home all year round, they must have had another woman.

Now, several years of hard work will declare their value with the launch of this ballistic missile. Ballistic missiles are the weapons of the country!

A puff of white smoke rose from the bottom of the missile, followed by blazing flames. The ground trembled, and the Dongfeng-3, which was more than 20 meters long, soared up on the launch base!

Success! After so many years of operation, simulated launches have been carried out countless times. This launch was successful and everyone couldn't help but cheer.

After receiving the news, an American reconnaissance satellite hurriedly changed its orbit and flew over the desert, accurately capturing the missile being launched.

Both the United States and the Soviet Union have destroyed intermediate-range ballistic missiles in accordance with the agreement. However, China has spread this kind of weapon and must reach an agreement with China. It can no longer spread to more countries!

Although Saudi Arabia is a traditionally friendly country to the United States, and the United States does not want to see Saudi Arabia possess ballistic missiles, now, this thing can really bluff people!

After flying for more than twenty minutes, the ballistic missile accurately splashed down into the predetermined sea area. This gorgeous performance was a warning from Saudi Arabia to Iraq!

Americans have complex emotions, with mixed feelings. US Secretary of State Baker stepped off the plane and stood on the ground of Pakistan.

In order to persuade Pakistan to agree to lease the port to the United States, and to persuade Saudi Arabia and other countries to agree to the stationing of U.S. troops, the U.S. Secretary of State flew here in person to lobby. The first stop was Pakistan.

At this time, the American aircraft carrier formation was already on its way.

The Foreign Minister of Pakistan cordially welcomed the visiting Americans at the airport. He took them to the Presidential Palace.

"Mr. Baker, welcome to Pakistan." Mhamad said to the visiting US Secretary of State at the Presidential Palace.

"President Hamad, we are very honored to hear that you have rescued Jaber in Kuwait. We are also very happy," Baker said.

This happiness is said very reluctantly, but in fact, this time Pakistan stole the limelight from the Americans. Americans are quite unhappy.

"We are all brothers, and this is what we should do." Mhammad said: "At this time, we must unite and discuss the Gulf's countermeasures."

"We in the United States will never turn a blind eye to Saddam's barbaric aggression." Baker said: "Now, our American aircraft carrier formation is heading here. We hope that your country will be like the war in Afghanistan. , firmly support us.”

support? Hammad shook his head: "During the war in Afghanistan, we were very grateful for your support. However, when the war in Afghanistan ended, we did not see our relations continue to develop. On the contrary, your country, for some purpose, "You are constantly creating obstacles for us, and the most intolerable thing is your attitude towards India."

At this time, since the United States needs Pakistan, Mhamad will of course negotiate the price without hesitation. In the past few years, Mhamad has been very unhappy, and even had to tuck his tail between his legs. Sanctions against the United States, etc., are only You can tolerate it by keeping a low profile and biding your time. Now, it's time!

In particular, the United States continues to support India in order to check and balance Pakistan, and the subsequent war compensation owed by India has also been ignored.

Now, Mhamad has brought it up again.

"There may have been some unpleasantness between us before, but now, I believe that we will become close allies again. Our president has signed an order to return your F-16 fighter jets to your country," Baker said. : "As for India, we in the United States have also stopped lending to them."

Pakistan originally ordered a new batch of F-16 fighter jets, but before they were delivered, the war in Afghanistan ended. After that, the United States began to seize this batch of fighter jets under various excuses. The two sides continued to quarrel, but it was of no use. . Now, the United States automatically released these fighter jets without Mhamadhe mentioning it.

"What kind of support do you want?" Mhamad asked, obviously very satisfied with the friendly expression of the United States.

"We want to lease your port as a forward base for the navy." Baker said: "For example, your Karachi port is deep enough to dock our aircraft carrier. If it can be leased to us, we will have a very good logistics base."

Karachi port? Hammad shook his head: "No, Karachi port is too small to accommodate your aircraft carrier formation."

Just kidding, the Port of Karachi is the most modern port in Pakistan. Countless cargo ships come in and out every day. It is the throat of Pakistan's foreign economy. If it is leased by the United States, it will definitely affect its overseas trade. More importantly, Karachi is still a military port of Pakistan. , Pakistan's advanced warships are stationed in this port. If Americans frequently enter and exit, the secrets of our own warships will be mastered by the other side, such as the radar signal characteristics of the advanced Friendship Shield and so on.

What's more, next to the Karachi port is Pakistan's largest shipyard. Pakistan's own aircraft carrier is currently being built in the largest shipyard. These are Pakistan's military secrets.

Hamad could not say these things directly, so he directly rejected the American request on the grounds that Karachi port was too small.

Baker was stunned. His main purpose for coming this time was to convince Pakistan to provide a reliable logistics base to the United States. Compared with other Gulf countries, Pakistan has a geographical advantage. Saddam’s Scud missiles are Don’t come to Pakistan! So, this is the safest place.

"However, we are currently developing Gwadar Port and have just completed the initial development. If you really want to rent it, we can lease Gwadar Port to you." Mhamad said.

Port Gwadar! This is an important port newly developed in Pakistan! Also called Gwadar Port.

Gwadar is located in the Balochistan Province of Pakistan, bordering Afghanistan to the north, Iran to the west, only 72 kilometers away, about 460 kilometers east to Karachi, Pakistan’s current important port, and the Arabian Sea of ​​the Indian Ocean to the south, located in Hormuz. At the mouth of the Strait, that is, next to the Persian Gulf. It is about 400 kilometers away from the Strait of Hormuz, the main channel for global oil supply, and can be said to be located near the throat of the Persian Gulf.

The geographical location of this place is so special that Pakistan has long wanted to develop it. As early as 1964, the then Pakistani government wanted to develop this port. However, at this time, this was just a very inconspicuous small fishing village in the Markland area. It was far away from the mainland, with inconvenient transportation and barren land. The fishermen living here lived a very poor life. It would take a huge amount of money to develop it. funds.

Therefore, successive governments looked at this place and reluctantly allowed it to continue on its original track. In later generations, until the 21st century, with the help of China, this port was developed, and oil pipelines and railway lines were directly connected here. , constituting the exit of a strategically important transportation artery in China.

But now, under the governance of Mhamad, Pakistan, which defeated the Soviets, has begun economic construction that shocked the world. Relying on the leading role of the military industry and the innovation capabilities of private enterprises, Pakistan's industry has developed rapidly. , and industrial products are not only sold to nearby Gulf countries, Iran and other countries, but also exported to Western countries.

Pakistan already has sufficient economic strength, and the development of Gwadar Port has been carried out a long time ago. Now, the first phase of the project has been completed, and a railway has directly connected here.

Pakistan has not yet put this port into use. Now that the Americans have requested it, Mhammad had an idea and simply leased it to the Americans for use. (To be continued ~^~)
