Chapter 450 Tractor

Some basic industries can be introduced in large quantities, such as petrochemicals, machinery manufacturing, and metal smelting. These can be discussed by the people below. Muhammad proposed some industries with sufficient weight, which must be proposed by Muhammad himself.

Originally, Muhammad's hope was not very high. After all, this is used to build aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines. Will the Soviets sell this steel technology for funds?

Now, he is very satisfied. As long as the price is enough, he can get it. After all, the Soviets can even sell Su-27 fighters for money.

Moreover, it doesn't matter if this steel-making technology is obtained by the United States through Pakistan. The United States has the same technology, and this technology will not give the other party any countermeasures. This is just a steel plate, not a high-precision weapon.

After discussing this matter, Muhammad was very happy. He continued to say to Gorbachev: "Our agriculture in Pakistan is also developing rapidly, so we hope to introduce a tractor production line from the Soviet Union."

Tractor! Pakistan can now even produce medium-duty trucks, Mercedes-Benz NG-80 series heavy trucks and Steyr heavy trucks, high and low combinations, countless vehicles, shuttling on domestic roads, but Pakistan can produce heavy trucks, but there is still a blank in agricultural tractors.

Now, Muhammad proposed to introduce a tractor production line. This reason is too normal. There is no problem for the Soviet Union to export a tractor production line.

"Okay, we can agree to it." Gorbachev said: "What tractors do you need to introduce?"

Unlike others, Gorbachev came from the agricultural field. Before he entered the central government, the local government was responsible for agricultural production. He was experienced, which is why Andropov valued him.

"We need to introduce a variety of tractors." Muhammad said: "High, medium and low-end tractors. There are all kinds of models, so we have to build a large tractor farm that can produce various models of tractors, and we also hope to produce some deformed tractors."

Deformed tractors? Marshal Ogarkov heard this and thought of a bad premonition in his mind. Could it be?

"What deformed tractors?" Gorbachev asked.

"They are some multi-axle self-propelled vehicles." Muhammad said, "From four to eight axles, our field oil survey and other industries are in urgent need of such vehicles."

Multi-axle self-propelled vehicles? Ogarkov asked, "What kind of multi-axle vehicles?"

"Front cab, all-wheel drive, off-road tires, central deflation system, the front axles, preferably can turn at the same time, the horsepower of the car should be large, so that it can adapt to the roads in the field." Muhammad said, "We have an urgent need for such vehicles."

Tsk, isn't this a ballistic missile launcher? Ogarkov immediately became alert in his heart. Are the Pakistanis going to develop ballistic missiles? However. It seems that no news has leaked out.

"We need to introduce this chassis technology and transform it based on the chassis, such as developing heavy cranes for field use. Develop survey vehicles and various products needed by field industries." Muhammad said, "We know that your Minsk Automobile Plant has such off-road vehicles, and we are very interested."

Minsk Automobile Plant! This was a secret automobile factory in the Soviet era, because the cars manufactured in this automobile factory had no fewer than twelve wheels. Various Soviet military off-road vehicles, including important ballistic missile launchers, were all produced in this factory.

For example, the car used to pull the Scud missile, the sturdy four-axle all-wheel drive vehicle, was produced by this car factory. It was very abnormal, and the engine used was the engine of the T62 tank.

Of course. There are even more abnormal ones. In order to pull intercontinental ballistic missiles, the Minsk Vehicle Factory also manufactured a 24-wheeled heavy chassis vehicle, the MAZ-7907 model! This vehicle is more than 28 meters long and 4.7 meters wide. The curb weight is 65.8 tons. It can load up to 150 tons. The diameter of the densely packed 24 wheels under the chassis is more than two meters. The information of this vehicle is top secret, and Muhammad only obtained the information of this vehicle based on the information of later generations. In order to pull this vehicle, the Soviets actually equipped it with a gas turbine! The noise was so loud that the driver had to wear earplugs to avoid being bothered by the noise.

Muhammad certainly couldn't get this kind of vehicle, and Pakistan's roads were limited for such a wide vehicle, so Muhammad only needed the technology of a four-axle to eight-axle off-road chassis, which was enough for Pakistan.

"We really need this kind of tractor." Muhammad said: "However, our domestic funds are limited, so if you can agree, we hope to exchange it with our domestic agricultural products. In the past two years, our domestic agricultural products have achieved a bumper harvest, and we can export agricultural products in exchange for this production line."

Exchange with agricultural products! This is also a solution Muhammad came up with. For the Soviets, what do they lack most? In addition to funds, it is food!

The Soviet Union has so much fertile black soil, but unfortunately, the form of farms and the system of big pots have restricted the development of their agriculture. Their agricultural production efficiency is very low and cannot meet domestic needs at all. As a result, the supply of goods is incomplete. To buy a piece of bread in China, you have to queue for a long time.

Exporting these technologies can get enough food, which is more attractive to the Soviets!

Sure enough, after hearing what Muhammad said, Gorbachev's eyes lit up.

The Soviet Union has borrowed a lot of debts from the West. Now, it can't even borrow on credit. If the Soviet Union wants to buy food, it needs to pay off the old debts first, so it is difficult to trade with the West.

Pakistan originally had insufficient domestic food, but later, with the acquisition of the Kashmir Valley and the western plains of India, these places are rich granaries, allowing Pakistan to not only achieve self-sufficiency in food, but also have a large surplus. Pakistan has been constantly reforming over the years to improve farmers' enthusiasm for production, and in this way, the output of food has been continuously increasing.

Now, Muhammad uses food as a weapon to get the Soviets to agree to export this tractor production line, and the Soviets have no chance of refusing.

Tractor! In Muhammad's eyes, these things are tractors!

Sure enough, after hearing about the food, Gorbachev finally nodded: "We can accept it."

On the first day in Moscow, Muhammad had a lot of gains. In addition to agreeing with the Soviets on the withdrawal of troops, he also introduced some basic industries from the Soviet Union, which would greatly advance Pakistan's industrial level.

Staying in the hotel, Muhammad looked at Lilith beside him. At this time, Lilith's eyes were full of fascination.

"Lilith, I finally brought you to Moscow this time." Muhammad said.

"Yes, since childhood, I have been very interested in the Soviet Union." Lilith said: "Now, I finally have the opportunity to come."

Thinking about everything she saw during the day, Lilith was very excited. The architecture here made Lilith very interested.

It's a pity that this time, as the wife of the president, Lilith couldn't make a request to wander around the streets and alleys of Moscow.

The Soviet Union is a mysterious place. How do people here live? Is everything they have free? Lilith is also full of curiosity about these.

"Lilith, go to bed early today. We are going to go out for a visit tomorrow." Muhammad said.

Visit? Lilith was immediately excited: "Where are we going to visit tomorrow?"

"Black Sea Shipyard." Muhammad said.

Black Sea Shipyard! This is the largest shipyard in the Soviet Union! Moreover, the Soviet aircraft carrier was built here! The Soviets allowed Muhammad to visit here, which is simply a good opportunity to show the friendship between the two sides!

The Black Sea Shipyard, also known as the Nikolayev Shipyard, is the fifth largest shipyard in the Soviet Union, but in terms of building aircraft carriers, it is the largest shipyard in the Soviet Union, because all Soviet aircraft carriers, including the original helicopter carriers, to the Kiev-class heavy aircraft carrier cruiser, and then to the third-generation real straight-deck aircraft carrier, are from the Black Sea Shipyard!

This is an old factory with a long history. It was founded in 1897 during the Tsarist Russia era. In the process of building aircraft carriers, the Nikolayev Shipyard gradually accumulated rich experience in production, process, technology and management. The shipbuilding equipment has been greatly improved. In order to build new aircraft carriers, they also introduced a giant crane with a lifting capacity of 900 tons. Now, the construction of aircraft carriers has entered a stable period, just like the United States. Every three years, one aircraft carrier is put on the slipway, and every three years, one aircraft carrier is launched. It takes another three years to outfit. In this way, under normal circumstances, the factory can deliver one aircraft carrier every three years.

In addition to the friendship between the two sides, Muhammad came here to inspect. More importantly, he hoped to learn from the experience here and hire some engineers from here to work in Pakistan's shipyards. As for the salary, it is of course very generous.

So, the Soviet Union invited Muhammad to visit the Black Sea Shipyard. Anyway, just a few glances would not leak the secrets of the Soviet Navy.

If it were not for the fear that the United States would obtain Soviet technology through Pakistan, Soviet warships could be exported to Pakistan. Unfortunately, this is just a fantasy now.

Muhammad certainly has a deeper intention. This is a good opportunity to put pressure on the British. Do they still plan to sell the British Type 82 destroyers to Pakistan? Pakistan already doesn't like them! (To be continued ~^~)
