"If we can develop this engine and install it on our Tomcat fighter, I believe that someone can't wait to buy it. I can even believe that as long as we have this project, we can operate the funds. We Pakistan and you work together to do technology, find third parties to invest, and adopt international cooperation methods. What do you think?" Mhamad said.

Third party! Is this third party even more necessary?

Iran!

Now, the war between Iran and Iraq is still going on. At the beginning of the war, Iran's majestic Tomcat fighter jets have now fallen by one-third.

Iran originally had the most advanced fighter jets in the United States, but they themselves lacked the corresponding maintenance capabilities. The heart of the Tomcat fighter jets, the reliability of the TF30 engine is not high. Now, a large part of the ones that are stuck are engine problems, so that Iran purchased the J-7 fighter jets from China to supplement their fleet losses. If the TF30 replacement engine can be manufactured in China, Iran will definitely invest.

There is flowing gold underground, and Iran is not short of money. They will definitely agree to let them provide tens of millions of dollars in R&D expenses to restore their Tomcat fighter jets to combat effectiveness!

Why didn’t I expect it? Anyway, the engine has been dismantled in China, and I will look for third-party investment, and my superiors will not object.

Yes, that's it! Chen Yijian was even more excited when he thought that the Spey engine would continue to revive and would also have an increased pushing type, in the future, maybe Shen Fei would have to ask Xifei to use this engine to improve their aircraft.

"We are very interested in your plan." Chen Yijian said: "We need to go back and do further research, confirm with our superiors, and then reply to you."

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was coming. After continuing to use supper, Chinese personnel were sent to the guesthouse to rest.

"Chief of Staff Mhamad, what's going on with the Sbe you mentioned today?" After only his own personnel were left, Nur Khan asked Mhamad.

"The British engine was exported to the United States and to the Eastern countries. The A-7 we are going to buy this time is this TF-41 engine that has been improved by Spey." Mhamad said to Nur Khan.

"I know all this," said Nur Khan. When negotiations started, Nur Khan understood a lot of the performance of the A-7 and knew this engine: "What's going on with that Tomcat's engine?"

"The Tomcat we introduced uses the TF30 engine. The performance of this engine is limited. We must find a suitable engine to replace it. Moreover, we cannot be stuck in the neck by the Americans. We must fully understand the engine so that our aviation industry can take a big step forward. Our current air force is established with the support of the Americans. Once one day, if we have any changes, the Americans will jamm our necks at any time." Mhamad said: "Didn't the previous India-Pakistan wars confirm this?"

Nur Khan nodded. At that time, it was because of the betrayal of the Americans that Pakistan and the Eastern countries became closer, and both sides became reliable allies. Otherwise, how could Pakistan allow Eastern countries to visit their advanced fighter jets? In fact, after the president agreed to the Eastern countries' visiting delegation, he had some new plans.

What Mhamad did coincided with what the president thought, and even went further.

"Sorry, I haven't had time to report this to my superiors." Mhamad said: "It's so sudden, and I suddenly remembered it at the meeting."

Before the A-7 attack aircraft arrived, it was impossible to improve the imitation of SBE by relying solely on those materials. Now, everything is complete.

"Mhamad, you're welcome. It's because of your unremitting efforts that our air force has made great progress." Nur Khan said: "And, your idea this time is quite clever. We can use Iranian funds to complete the development of this engine, and we will also master all the technology."

What Pakistan lacks is funds. Otherwise, how could it buy light F-16 fighter jets? And just forty aircraft have exhausted Pakistan's national strength. However, Mhamad can imagine and use various other methods to solve the source of funds.

The transaction with Iran is the highest secret, especially by selling a batch of spare parts from Tomcats in exchange for huge amounts of funds. It is even more secret. Only a few people at the top know that Nur Khan is one. Now, the normal operation of the Peshawar Air Force Base is almost entirely maintained by that amount of funds.

"Well, we don't have to come forward to avoid our embarrassment." Musha Af said: "Anyway, the Eastern countries have sold a large number of weapons to Iran, and they have to come forward to solve the problem of R&D funding, which has nothing to do with us."

When he heard Mhamad mention third-party investment, everyone knew that he was referring to Iran, but Mhamad did not make it clear, which gave Pakistan a lot of room for maneuver. While Pakistan still received assistance from Saudi Arabia and other countries, it was obviously not a good choice to cooperate with their hostile country Iran. When he heard Mhamad's words, even Musha Af secretly applauded in his heart. If Iran heard that it could build an engine installed on a Tomcat fighter jet, it would definitely be willing to invest. They could do anything for those Tomcats.

"Okay, the engine is not controlled by people, and our tomcats will fly freely in the sky of South Asia." Nur Khan said: "Mhamad, you Panjhir lion are not only on the earth, but also on the sky, but also so good. I am old, and the future belongs to you young people."

When Nur Khan said this, Musha Af's eyelids jumped. The hint from the Air Force Commander was too obvious.

"Mhamad, if you have any plans, please report to the commander." Musha Af said to Mhamad.

Now is the opportunity. The package of plans in Mhamad's mind has gradually matured. He has even thought about it decades later. Now, when he heard Musha Af's words, Mhamad couldn't help but briefly said: "Modern warfare is mainly air supremacy. Only with air supremacy can we win battles. Our current air force is only imported products. No matter how powerful it is, it is still a fighter jet of the United States. We must have the ability to make fighter jets ourselves."

Mhamad's thinking surpasses everyone. Even Nur Khan never thought that Pakistan could build fighter jets by itself. In terms of Pakistan's current industry, it was too backward and even cars were assembled. Is it a bit too advanced to talk about making fighter jets by itself? However, Mhamad is a person who is good at creating miracles. Just a year ago, who could have thought that Pakistan could have advanced Tomcat fighter jets?

"What we need to overcome now is mainly engines and avionics." Mhamad said: "We cooperate with Eastern countries to develop the TF41 engine and cultivate a technical team. When Eastern countries start production of such engines, we also opened an engine manufacturing plant in Pakistan. With our relationship with Eastern countries, we can do this. For example, to transform the current J-6 engine overhaul factory, first use the rough from Eastern countries.

Gradually improve our manufacturing capabilities. As for avionics, we have jointly studied Tomcat's advanced avionics and F-16 avionics and Eastern countries, and gradually understood, imitated and improved new avionics. I believe that after more than ten years, we can fully understand the technology of Tomcat and F-16. On this basis, we have imitated and transformed new fighter jets based on Tomcat and F-16. When our research team gradually matures, we can design more advanced military aircraft."

The vision must be long-term. In more than ten years, I just understand these subsystems thoroughly, and then on this basis, imitate these two fighter jets. Judging from the total sales of the F-16, it can be seen that this fighter jet is very successful. Tomcat was retired in later generations because the US Navy dominated the world and no one could threaten the United States. This heavy fighter jet has very great potential for modification.

Moreover, there is one thing Mhamad has not said. When the storm that swept the Soviet Union came, the Soviet Union's building would collapse. At that time, many experts in military aircraft manufacturing could be found, and Pakistan's aviation industry would take a big step.

Nur Khan was very excited when he heard this. Mhamad described a very glorious prospect to Nur Khan, which made Nur Khan immersed himself in it and could not extricate himself.

"However, this requires the country to invest huge amounts of money in the aviation industry." Arslan said at the back. Arslan was also very excited when he heard what Mhamad talked about. However, the aviation industry is money-burning. Only the wealthy United States has the most advanced aviation strength. They compete with two companies.

"Yes, so we must also develop our country's economy." Mhamad said: "We must develop into an industrialized country in order to achieve good economic development. These also require the help of Eastern countries."

"Mhamad, let's be here today. Look at the commander who comes over and attends the greeting. It's another meeting. It's already late at night." Musha Af said: "Let's let the commander get off early."

"Okay." Nur Khan said: "Let's get here today. Everyone should rest early and negotiate with our friends tomorrow. Note that today's meeting is top secret, and no one can disclose it."
