"We started construction ourselves and built an aircraft carrier, which required four catapults," Mhamad said.

This cannot be denied. After all, catapults are used for the use of new aircraft carriers. Moreover, after the ship's body is closed, the Americans will definitely find that this ship is not an oil tanker, but an aircraft carrier.

In fact, it is not that the Americans' reconnaissance equipment is behind, but that Americans would never have imagined that with Pakistan's own national strength, they would actually dare to get involved in the manufacturing of aircraft carriers!

This is only possible for old imperialist countries to build aircraft carriers, and if they want to build tens of thousands of tons of aircraft carriers, only four or five countries in the world can produce them. It is absolutely impossible for Pakistan to have such technology.

Therefore, even if Pakistan has built an aircraft carrier, it is only at the level of oil tanker building. Such aircraft carriers cannot withstand strong winds and waves at sea and cannot withstand the take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft.

After all, Pakistan had to buy a batch of steel for aircraft carriers from the United States when it was modified, which was the second-hand Encyclopedia aircraft carrier.

Now, hearing Mhamad solemnly say that Pakistan needs four catapults to build an aircraft carrier, Baker felt ridiculed in his heart. Can Pakistan's own aircraft carrier be sailed?

The aircraft carrier reacted to the overall industrial level of a country! When the Soviet Union collapsed, Ukraine wanted to complete the Varyag aircraft carrier alone. The Ukrainian President once asked Makarov whether the aircraft carrier could be completed with the financial support of Ukraine. The old captain at that time just said a frustrating sentence: it was necessary for the Soviet Union, the Party Central Committee, the National Planning Commission, the Military Industry Commission and nine Ministry of Defense Industry, 600 related majors, and 8,000 supporting manufacturers. It needed a great country to complete it, but this powerful country no longer exists.

It can be said that an aircraft carrier condenses all the industrial technology of a country, but Pakistan has only been industrialized for many years? Pakistan has no ability to complete the construction of an aircraft carrier!

It's so ridiculous!

He didn't know how much effort Pakistan has made to build an aircraft carrier. Since the introduction of Tomcat fighter jets, Mhamad had an aircraft carrier dream! The carrier-based aircraft first possessed it. Then, it purchased this second-hand aircraft carrier from the United States, allowing the Pakistani Navy to have the operational capabilities of aircraft carriers. Over the past few years, it has accumulated a lot of experience. Thus, Pakistan has obtained the production capacity of steel for aircraft carriers, and has cooperated with China to conduct surveying, mapping and design of aircraft carriers. The boiler needed for aircraft carriers also uses China's TB-8 boiler. This boiler is used in the brigade level, which has made the brigade level an astonishing speed of 38 knots. The Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier used is also the tB-12 improved by the tB-8, and all the technologies are being accumulated. Until now, the main lack of catapults!

According to Mhamad's plan at that time, even if the catapult was empty, the aircraft carrier would have to be built. Now, with this opportunity, we must not let it go!

"Your side wants to build an aircraft carrier yourself?" Baker asked.

"Yes, we are going to build an aircraft carrier ourselves," Mhamad said. "We plan to build a 60,000-ton aircraft carrier, which requires four catapults. We hope to introduce it from your country, which is the condition for your use of our base."

"I'm sorry. I need to report to the president." Baker said: "I can't decide on exporting your catapult. What else do you need besides your catapult?"

Five billion US dollars of military aid can't be worth these four catapults, right? When Mhamad heard Baker's words, he continued without hesitation: "We need four e-2 early warning aircraft, for the latest model, two e-3 early warning aircraft, -130 transport aircraft and Blackhawk helicopter..."

"Mr. President, it seems we need to conduct further negotiations." Baker was so angry that he heard it. Hell, when he came, didn't he just agree to exempt Pakistan's debt?

Baker ended his visit to the Pakistani president and the agreement was reached in principle, but further negotiations still require special personnel. Baker met Jabir and others who established a temporary government here in Islamabad.

Facing the Emir of Kuwait, Baker reiterated the United States' position and would definitely help Kuwait and drive away the invading Iraq!

Jabir was in a heavy mood. At the beginning, the Americans patted their chests and said that Saddam did not dare to invade. Now, they patted their chests and said that they wanted to help Kuwait restore the country. Is this true or false?

After Baker appeased Kuwait's invasive government officials, the next stop was Saudi Arabia.

The United States wants to use force against Iraq and drive away Iraqis in Kuwait. Saudi Arabia's attitude is crucial because only Saudi Arabia is their neighbor!

Therefore, if the United States wants to engage in ground war, it must deploy troops in Saudi Arabia and attack from Saudi Arabia's borders. This is the best choice.

With such a mission, Baker came to Saudi Arabia and met King Fahd.

Saudi Arabia belongs to the royal family, and the Saudi royal family also has a good tradition, which is to pass it on to its own position, not to its son, but to its brothers, that is, the sons of the founders of Saudi Arabia.

Fahd bin Abdul Aziz, born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in 19, is the sixth son of former king Abdul Aziz. In terms of foreign policy, King Fahd pursues a neutral and non-aligned policy, advocates strengthening the unity of Arab and Islamic countries, politically resolving the Middle East issues, and maintaining security and stability in the Gulf region.

Although Saudi Arabia's position is inclined to the United States, at some point, Saudi Arabia will also say no to the United States, such as Saudi Arabia has ballistic missiles! It almost turned against the United States for this.

At this time, King Fahd was already seventy years old, with some wrinkles on his plump face and still flashing in his eyes.

"His Majesty the King, the Iraqi army invaded Kuwait, which is absolutely intolerable to us in the United States. We hope to rent Saudi military bases and launch a military strike against Iraq." Baker explained his purpose.

"Mr. Baker, just before you came, I just called Hussein, the king of Jordan. Hussein will go to Baghdad in the near future to clarify our views to Saddam. I hope that Saddam will take the initiative to withdraw their troops and resolve this dispute through political means." King Fahd said.

As the largest country in the Middle East, although Iraq has already used force, King Fahd still wants to solve the problem through politics, which is the best way.

Hearing King Fahd's words, Baker couldn't help but frown. If it was resolved through political means, what's the use of the United States? President Bush's meaning was very clear, that is, to use force in the Middle East and station troops in the Middle East! Not only will he fight Saddam now, but he will also have to station troops for a long time in the future!

This is not just a war, but the United States' strategic deployment. As the Soviet Union continues to become weak, the United States must use its own force to protect energy security!

As the largest oil exporter, if Saudi Arabia has a US military station, the United States will be at ease.

"His Majesty the King, Saddam has done this now and will not accept a political solution. This person has great ambitions." Baker said: "We have made an analysis. After invading Kuwait, Saddam's ambitions will continue to expand. He will not meet the existing achievements. Iraq's next goal is to invade Saudi Arabia!"

Don’t want the US to station troops? Then you have to put pressure on Saudi Arabia. This pressure is not given by the United States, but by Iraq!

"Saddam invaded Kuwait for the sake of Kuwait's oil, and Saudi Arabia's oil resources far exceed that of Kuwait." Baker continued: "Saddam controlled Saudi Arabia and controlled nearly 50% of the world's oil resources. He will definitely take this risk. Saddam's army exceeds one million, and they are all veterans who have fought the Iraqi war. IMHO, Kuwait's army cannot resist Iraq's army, and Saudi Arabia's army cannot resist. Once Saddam launches an attack, Saudi territory will soon be lost. Only the United States can help Saudi Arabia resist Iraq's army."

King Fahd shook his head: "So far, we have not seen any signs of Iraq attacking us, and our Saudi Arabia is vast and not comparable to that of Kuwait. Our army is ready for battle, Mr. Baker, we are confident that we can solve the problem ourselves."

The old king was still so stubborn, Baker couldn't help but say, "His Majesty, are you rejecting us in your heart? If it is because of the previous Dongfeng-3 missile, I can apologize to you on behalf of our United States."

When Saudi Arabia introduced Dongfeng-3, it was discovered by the United States, and it was sanctioned and put pressure on it. In the end, Saudi Arabia was disobedient and the Americans had no choice. Now, Baker thought it was this incident that made King Fahd in front of him unhappy, so he proposed this method.

Hearing the words of the US Secretary of State, the old king stood up from his chair, took a few steps, came to Baker, and said, "Mr. Baker, as the king of Saudi Arabia, the burden on my shoulders is also heavy. I have to bear the pressure and dreams of all Saudis. You should know that because of those Jewish things, for decades, the people on our land have not had a good impression of the United States. If I agree to your country's army and step onto Saudi land, there will be riots among the people."
