Dominate South Asia

General Zhang was also excited. As the Minister of Defense, he naturally knew what this meant.

Looking at the Mercedes-Benz Type 80 tank again, he suddenly felt that it was nothing. No wonder the Pakistani army looked down on it!

"Germany's 1,500 horsepower engine technology, will it be exported to you?" asked the one-armed chief designer.

"Yes, this is what we exchanged for technology." Muhammad said, "We exchanged it with them for composite armor technology."

Composite armor technology? The one-armed chief designer was stunned: "Do you have composite armor technology?"

Mhammad shook his head: "Of course not, but I have promised them to use composite armor to make auxiliary tenon armor and install it on the turret of their Leopard 2 tank to increase the protection capability of 500 mm homogeneous armor."

The turret bra is just a figurative term. In front of these rigorous Chinese people, Muhammad did not mention the special term.

In fact, from the 99 improvement to the 99 modification, the domestic turret also added a bra, which is the same idea.

"President Muhammad, do you mean to exchange our composite armor technology?" General Zhang asked.

For any country, armor technology is top secret. For example, Germany cannot get the British Chobham armor as they are all NATO countries, and the Soviet Union's exported tanks are all monkey versions. The important thing is the armor technology. It is said that the T-72 provided to Iraq is to fill the place where the composite armor should be placed with sand.

Is it worth using our own composite armor technology to exchange for Pakistan's production line with 1,500 horsepower engines?

The Republic's composite armor technology is also at the forefront. The Type 80 tanks that are now speeding on the test field have composite armor lined on the body.

"Yes. Otherwise, why would the Germans export engine technology to us?" Muhammad said, "I promised them 500 mm homogeneous armor resistance, but I didn't say how thick the additional armor module should be, so you don't have to provide the most advanced composite armor technology, the previous composite armor will do."

When negotiating, Muhammad kept a hand, if he was a hooligan. He would give the Germans 500 mm thick steel plates, and it would not be considered a breach of contract.

He knew that China had developed many types of composite armor, and as long as he took out one of them and gave it to the Germans, it would be fine.

Sure enough, the one-armed chief designer spoke: "In this case, our new tank has three armor schemes. We have eliminated one of them, and we can export this eliminated composite armor technology to Germany."

Western industry is powerful. China can have an industrial technology that is stronger than the West, which is also worthy of pride.

"Do you have research on new tanks?" Muhammad asked, although he had known it for a long time, that is, the Type 99, he still had to pretend that he had just learned about it.

"Yes, we are developing the third-generation tank, and the project has just been launched." General Zhang said.

In terms of fighter jets. The top leaders are discussing the joint development plan, and the project of the No. 10 machine has also let the people in front know that the development of new tanks is no secret.

"If so, we Pakistan can provide one of the Leopard 2 tanks to you for research after we are equipped with it." Muhammad said.

"Thank you very much." The one-armed chief designer said immediately. This is really an unexpected gift!

Muhammad knew that the domestically produced Type 99 tank had too many shadows of the T-72. In fact, the entire chassis was almost a copy of the T-72. Letting tank designers see Western tanks will be very inspiring to them. For example, the excellent acceleration performance of the Leopard 2 and the powerful ability to shoot while moving will open their eyes, and the excellent ergonomics is also something they should consider. People cannot adapt to weapons, but should consider letting weapons meet people's needs.

"We have obtained the electroslag remelting steel technology from Austria, and we can also provide it to you at the same time." Muhammad said.

Electroslag remelting steel! This is the most critical technology for tank gun barrels. Combined with the self-tightening of the gun body, it can effectively improve the life and pressure resistance of the gun barrel. With this technology, the performance of tank guns can be more effectively improved!

It is completely worthwhile to exchange these technologies for the obsolete composite armor technology! At the beginning of the new tank project, the one-armed chief designer saw hope, surpassing the world's first-class tanks and completely defeating the opponent in a head-on confrontation!

In history, the Republic also introduced Steyr trucks from Austria, and then successively introduced electroslag remelting steel and other technologies to improve its own tank guns. It's just that now Pakistan has to start earlier.

"I heard that you already have a 120mm tank gun. We want to use this gun and install it on our Type 59 tank." Muhammad said.

Since the Leopard 2 is also a 120mm gun, the use of a 120mm gun in the improvement of the 59 tank can simplify logistics support. Muhammad is very familiar with the performance of this gun, which is the Type 89 self-propelled anti-tank gun in later generations. In the comparison between the two calibers of 120mm and 125mm, China chose the 125mm caliber gun, and this 120mm caliber gun was developed into a self-propelled anti-tank gun.

"Of course." said the person in charge of the 617 factory.

"Thank you very much to our friends." General Zhang said: "Our two countries are true friends."

"Yes, we will never forget that your country has firmly supported us in several Indo-Pakistani wars. Even in the last conflict between us and India, your country was ready to contain the Indians. We are strategic allies, and we will continue to deepen cooperation in all aspects." Muhammad said: "We have another important purpose for this visit."

Another important purpose! Muhammad opened the water cup in an indecent manner, dipped his finger in it, and then wrote a line of letters on the dusty table.

DF-3!

General Zhang was stunned. This was exactly the area he had been in charge of. He knew clearly what this belonged to.

In 1975, General Zhang served as the director of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission, leading the formulation and organization of the development plan of cutting-edge weapons and equipment such as intercontinental missiles, submarine-to-ground missiles and communication satellites.

And what Muhammad wrote. It is one of the country's ballistic missile arsenal, the Dongfeng-3 missile!

This is the first generation of medium-range ground-to-ground ballistic missiles developed by the Republic. It was tested in December 1966 and put into service in May 1971.

This missile is 24 meters long, 2.25 meters in diameter, and weighs 64 tons at takeoff. It uses a first-stage liquid-fuel rocket engine and is placed on a mobile launch vehicle for mobile launch. The maximum range is 2,800 kilometers. The hit accuracy is 3,000 meters.

Now, this missile is being improved and is preparing to increase its range to 4,000 kilometers. At the same time, a new type of Dongfeng 21 solid ballistic missile is also under development.

The intercontinental missile Dongfeng-5 has also been successfully developed.

In later generations, Saudi Arabia obtained Dongfeng-3 from an Eastern country, but that was in 1987, and now it is only 1984. This missile is still kept secret.

Muhammad made it clear that Pakistan wanted to buy this ballistic missile. How could this not shock General Zhang?

"We need a weapon that can deter India and show it at a critical moment. Now, Rajiv is reorganizing the Indian army. When he regains control of all the forces in India, he will definitely start to retaliate. We Pakistan will have a large-scale conflict with India." Muhammad said: "We are in urgent need of this weapon."

Eastern countries are short of money. As long as they are paid, they are willing to sell anything. At the beginning, Saudi Arabia spent a sky-high price of $100 million per missile to buy dozens of Dongfeng 3 missiles.

Pakistan is certainly not a big dog family and is not that rich. However, if you want Eastern countries to sell this kind of weapon, you must show a certain sincerity.

"We are willing to spend $100 million to buy five such missiles, a set of launch vehicles and related equipment, including the production of propellants." Muhammad said.

Pakistan does not need too much. After they get it back, they will mainly disassemble and imitate it, using this missile as a blueprint. Develop Pakistan's own ballistic missile technology.

$100 million! This is already a big number.

"We need to report this to the chairman." General Zhang said.

The trip to Baotou was over, and Muhammad returned to the capital, looking at the bright lights and feasting outside. Although it was only the 1980s, there was already a vibrant life here.

The main mission of coming to the Eastern countries was considered to be over. Muhammad quietly drank a cup of strong tea, looking at the scene outside in front of the large French window.

"Dear, should we go back?" Lilith asked Muhammad.

"Yes, our trip to the East is about to end." Muhammad said.

"But I still have a lot of places to go." Lilith said to Muhammad: "These days, I always run back and forth. I really want to be alone and walk around freely."

This is like going out for a trip, self-driving tour, go wherever you want, and follow a tour group, then you will be urged all the time, here and there, it's just a quick visit.

Listening to Lilith's infatuation, Muhammad held her hand and said: "Then I'll take you out tonight."

"Great!" Lilith said happily.

A bicycle with Lilith on the back. Muhammad was no longer the president of a country, but an ordinary tourist.

Coming out of the back door of the hotel, Muhammad did not bring any guards. The security here was very good, and there was no need to worry about assassinations.

After walking around the alleys of the capital and taking Lilith to taste various roadside delicacies, Muhammad seemed to have returned to his past.

When the hurried guards found Muhammad, it was two hours later. At this time, Muhammad was taking Lilith to eat at a stinky tofu stall and enjoying it. (To be continued ~^~)
