Dominate South Asia

Both Afghanistan and Pakistan have broad borders with Iran. The relationship between the two sides is at least relatively harmonious, and all kinds of cooperation are very pleasant. Iran has Iraq as its biggest enemy, and its attitude towards Pakistan is very friendly.

Iran also has abundant oil resources, which is what Muhammad values ​​most. The construction of oil pipelines will be of great benefit to Pakistan's economy.

This year is 1988. Generally speaking, the situation this year is relatively optimistic. Muhammad's current task is still mainly to develop Pakistan's economy.

"President, there is another thing." Mushaaf said to Muhammad: "Our tractor factory has been built in Asadabad. Do you want to go and see it?"

Tractor! This tractor is of course more than just an ordinary tractor!

Hearing Mushaaf's words, Muhammad immediately stood up from his chair: "Go, let's go and see it tomorrow!"

Pakistan's industry is constantly developing, and agriculture is also developing rapidly, so Pakistan needs a large number of agricultural machinery, including tractors! This very legitimate reason allowed Pakistan to introduce a full set of tractor production lines from the Soviet Union.

What puzzles many people is that this tractor production line is not built in the industrial cities of Islamabad and Karachi. Now, these two cities are almost all industrial centers of Pakistan, but in a city in the northern mountains.

It is claimed that it is of course to develop the economy in the north and create more jobs. After the workers sign the contract, they will stay in this tractor factory to engage in production and sign a strict confidentiality agreement.

This tractor factory has already started production!

President Muhammad is very interested. He took a group of people to Asadabad by helicopter. The factory is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and there are people checking at each mountain pass.

The person in charge of the factory got the news and came out to greet him in advance. When Muhammad came down from inside, the first sentence he saw was: "Our tractors. When can they be produced?"

"Report to Mr. President, the tractors we produced in advance are mainly four-axle to eight-axle tractors, all-wheel drive, and the first few axles can be turned. Now, the production line is being adjusted and it is expected to enter pre-production soon." The person in charge of the factory said.

It is not so fast to build a factory. There is a lot of work to do in the early stage.

Muhammad knew. He was still early. Looking at the machines in the factory, all the staff were working. It seemed that it would take a long time to see the factory put into production.

Suddenly, Muhammad's eyes looked at the test site in the distance. Wasn't there an eight-axle monster there?

"What is that?" Muhammad asked.

"When we introduced it, we also introduced several complete vehicles as a reference for our technicians." The person in charge of the factory said.

"Let's go. Go and take a look." Looking at the big guy, Muhammad immediately became interested.

Tractor, this is definitely a tractor, just the most powerful tractor!

"These tractors of the Minsk Tractor Factory are all developed based on the 547 model." The person in charge of the factory said: "The design of the chassis, especially the axle, is exactly the same. As long as the axle is added, the length and load capacity of the vehicle can be increased."

Muhammad looked at the seven-axle vehicle in front of him, his eyes full of joy. At this time, this vehicle is still a chassis vehicle with a front cab. There is one on each side, and underneath are thick and powerful wheels. All of them are off-road tires with a central deflation system, and the back is flat. It looks like a Dongfeng-3 missile can be placed on it!

Yes, the first purpose of Muhammad's introduction of these tractors is to carry Dongfeng-3!

A few years ago, Muhammad's trip to China brought a huge Dongfeng-3 ballistic missile! Pakistan's secret ballistic missile industry started with Dongfeng-3. Now, Pakistan can imitate this ballistic missile and even improve it with its own mature electronic technology.

However, Pakistan lacks the means of transport for this ballistic missile. China uses a tractor with a trailer frame at the back to drag this missile all over the ground. This method seriously limits the transportation capacity of the missile. It can only be mobile on the road and has no off-road capability.

This is of course not possible! Pakistan must have a truck chassis with off-road capabilities!

Although advanced Mercedes-Benz chassis were introduced from Germany and off-road trucks were available, those vehicles were OK for transporting goods, but they were definitely not qualified for ballistic missiles with a length of 24 meters.

In later generations, Pakistan's "Shaheen" medium-range missile used the 7916 model derived from the 547 model, which appeared repeatedly in military parades, but at that time it was purchased directly from abroad.

Now, Pakistan has to produce it by itself! Although this type of vehicle is niche and expensive, it is still a must-have choice for Pakistan. Moreover, when it is produced and exported to Saudi Arabia, it can make a lot of money.

The eight-axle vehicle can directly transport intercontinental ballistic missiles. The Russian Topol in later generations is an eight-axle launch vehicle, and the seven-axle vehicle is enough to transport the Dongfeng-3.

Muhammad looked at the vehicle in front of him with interest.

"This car uses a V-58 V-type opposed 12-cylinder diesel engine with a power of 710 horsepower." The person in charge continued: "We are studying the use of our own engine to replace this engine."

Own engine! Pakistan also has its own engine! Of course, it is not the engines used in Mercedes-Benz trucks and Steyr trucks. Those engines have a maximum of more than 300 horsepower, which is not enough, but the 1500 horsepower engine used by the Leopard 2!

Through debugging and reducing power, the engine life can be extended, and the fuel consumption will also be greatly increased. Moreover, the performance of this engine is far more advanced than that of the Soviet engine.

There are more Pakistani technicians on this car who are conducting research.

When Muhammad came over, these technicians were very excited. They looked at Muhammad and were so excited that they couldn't speak.

"How is it?" Muhammad asked.

"Mr. President. This chassis is perfect. We are planning to add hydraulic devices to this chassis and directly change it into an erection and launch vehicle. Our Dongfeng-3 missiles can be deployed and launched more quickly."

These personnel are from the missile developers. They came here when they learned that there was a more suitable launch vehicle.

The original one was a trailer. It was only used for transfer. It needed a special launch site and launch platform to launch the Dongfeng-3 missile. Now, this car has solved all the problems.

"Yes, this chassis is tailor-made for us. We are confident that we can transfer our missiles to this car." Another designer said.

"In this way, our missiles have off-road capabilities. Unfortunately, ours are liquid missiles. It takes too long to refuel. It would be better if it was a solid missile."

The scene was full of senior military personnel. They were not afraid of leaking secrets when they said these words.

"Everything will be there." Muhammad said: "It won't be long before we have a sample of solid missiles. At that time, you have to reverse map it for me."

We will soon have a sample of solid missiles? Hearing this, all the technicians. There was an incredible light in their eyes, no way? Where did it come from?

Of course it was stolen from the Russians! Muhammad went to Moscow last time, but he gained a lot!

………

Soviet Union.

At this time, the Soviet Union was still very cold. The cold wind was blowing on the plateau of East Siberia.

The tall Soviets, wearing military coats and big leather boots. Standing on the high hill, looking at the position below.

One after another, multi-axle vehicles are moving forward, where there is a flat launch position.

There is a special feeling in the eyes of the Soviets. These missiles are a strong guarantee for the Soviet Union. Looking at the cylinder above the vehicle body, a strong power is revealed.

These are the Soviet Union's most powerful medium-range missiles, SS-20!

This is a solid ballistic missile. At the launch site, it only takes 30 seconds to prepare to launch a missile. The range is up to 5,000 kilometers and the hit accuracy is 300 meters. It is the backbone of the Soviet Union's ballistic missiles!

And what the Americans fear most is this kind of ballistic missile. Western Europe doesn't even have time to react!

Therefore, under Gorbachev's proposal, the two sides negotiated repeatedly and finally signed the Intermediate-Range Missile Treaty. The goal of this treaty is to eliminate all medium-range and short-range ballistic missiles of the two countries!

Now, it is the destruction of the most important SS-20 medium-range missiles. This missile is destroyed by launching.

Next to the Soviets are several Americans. They look at the missiles erected in the distance with complicated expressions in their eyes.

According to the original agreement, the destruction must be supervised by the presence of the other party.

"Mr. Oaks, please go down and check one by one." The representative of the Soviet side said to the American side, with a certain helplessness in his tone.

These are the pride of the Soviet Union, but now they have to be destroyed abruptly!

"No need to check." Oaks was very polite: "Let's get started!"

There are many kinds of destruction, such as dismantling and destruction, using huge equipment such as road rollers to crush all missiles.

And the way to destroy these SS-20 missiles is to launch! Just launch the missiles and they will be destroyed.

Since they are to be launched and destroyed, there is no need to check them, they will be launched anyway.

Compared with the discouraged Soviets, the American representatives are very excited. Now, the Cold War has not ended yet. What Western Europe fears most is these ballistic missiles of the Soviets. Now, the Soviets are going to destroy them all. It's really self-destructive!

They are pleasing to the eye.

These Soviet fighting machines exude a wild and rough sense of power. It looks like a terrifying sense of power. (To be continued ~^~)
