If you want to open up the Pakistani market, why use this kind of junk? Don’t you have the high-end M1 main battle tank?
In this era, the most powerful tank is either Leopard-2 or M1. In short, everyone thinks that their tank is the most powerful.
As for the Soviet tanks? The performance of their individual tanks may not be the most advanced. They focus on group operations, relying on the entire sea of tanks and the armored torrent.
In this era, Pakistan is still very miserable. The Indians opposite them have already started to equip a large number of T-72 tanks. Even the Indians have started to produce this tank themselves. At the same time, they have designed and built Arjun Master himself.
The battle tanks are now lively.
Let’s take a look, what is in the opposite Pakistan?
The main force in their arsenal are 59 tanks, 69 tanks, and even many old-fashioned guys like the M48.
The most advanced one should be the Type 85 main battle tank in his own hands. Lao Ba has already placed an order on this and is developing steadily according to the three-step strategy.
However, the 85 tank is not particularly advanced. It is almost the same to abuse the Jaguar. The gap with the M1 main battle tank is still quite large.
Therefore, the other party wanted to sell the Jaguar to Pakistan, but Qin Zhenhua had no choice but to propose another solution, why not sell your M1 tank?
Especially, at this time, there is another outstanding advantage, which is military aid!
Because of the war at the Imperial Cemetery, the United States and Pakistan are very close. Even the F-16 fighter jets can be exported to Laos and Pakistan. This was something I never dared to imagine before. It was similar to the J-7 fighter jets provided by the Eastern powers.
Compared to, it is a whole generation ahead.
The same is true for tanks. Even if the 85 tank is equipped with a large number of Lao Ba and uses a 125mm cannon barrel, overall, it cannot be compared with the M1.
Moreover, it is military aid. The US government provides funds to purchase domestic arms dealers and then gives weapons to Lao Ba. This is a great opportunity. The US government pays the bill, and the arms dealers and Lao Ba are all happy.
Yes.
Now, Qin Zhenhua has given the other party an idea and to sell it, he will sell the M1 tank. This is what people like.
Now, it is the conflict between Thomas and Dr. Wright, and it has nothing to do with us.
Sure enough, after hearing this suggestion, Thomas looked at Dr. Wright, and Dr. Wright's expression on his face was a little embarrassed: "Well, Congress has not agreed yet."
Of course they wanted to sell it.
After they designed and manufactured the M1 tank, they not only equipped themselves, but also wanted to export them to Europe in large quantities. After all, the arms business has never been a separate arms business, but is tied to politics. On the one hand, they can sell weapons
Making money, on the other hand, can tie those little brothers firmly on the big ship in the United States, why not do it?
However, the sales of M1 tanks are not optimistic. During the sales process, they have always been in a competitive relationship with Leopard-2, and every competition will fail!
The reason is also very simple. The M1 tank uses a gas turbine engine. Customers are actually quite repulsive of this kind of engine. After comparison, customers will choose the Leopard-2 tank.
The export of M1 tanks has been blocked, and they also want to open up new markets. However, it is not easy to sell them to Lao Ba. After all, this is a pure offensive weapon and is powerful.
Americans export weapons with principles. They sell F-16 without any scruples. Anyway, they are low-end products and can even be set up in the fire control system, so that it cannot throw some precisely guided weapons. However, if you sell F-15, then
You have to think about it.
This is still a third-generation aircraft. On the fourth-generation aircraft, the F-22 is not sold at all. It just attracted a group of people to develop a four-dimensional F-35. (The heroes of East China are still used to using the original generational method, and this one cannot be changed.)
The M1 tank has not yet obtained an export license.
"Then you have to hurry up." Qin Zhenhua said: "After all, judging by the current situation, the Soviet Union may withdraw its troops. Once the troops are withdrawn, the US military aid will definitely decrease. At that time, you want to sell it.
But it's even harder."
Dr. Wright nodded repeatedly: "You are right, we must hurry up on this matter."
Thomas was left aside.
The day ended in a friendly and friendly atmosphere. On this evening, Zhao Guodong finally came back. After returning, he heard about what happened here and became a little curious.
"Zhenhua, why do you want to help them come up with ideas?" Zhao Guodong asked.
Now, in the factory, Qin Zhenhua is absolutely authoritative. No one wants to question Qin Zhenhua's decision. The plans he proposed were eventually verified to be correct. Only Zhao Guodong. At this time, he was not questioning, but just doubting.
It's just unsolvable.
The reason is very obvious. The market is so big. Once others enter, they will have to come out. Lao Ba is our traditional market. If you do this, you want to give up the traditional market, which will not benefit us.
This kind of thing shouldn't be something Qin Zhenhua can do.
Qin Zhenhua smiled: "If I support them in promoting the Jaguar tank, maybe it will be successful. If I support them in promoting the M1 tank, then there is no possibility of success. Instead, they can start to have internal conflicts first."
They all represent the interests of the United States. If our side strongly opposes it, it will definitely not be good. If the Jaguar tank passes, it may really win the welcome of Lao Ba, especially now there is a flag of military aid.
, the price problem will not be too big.
So, Qin Zhenhua got involved in the M1 tank and encouraged them to sell the M1 tank. In this way, they were internal conflicts, and they could just stand by and watch.
The performance of the M1 tank is advanced enough, but there is a reason why external sales fail repeatedly.
"Although Lao Ba's economic situation is not good, if he goes through the channels of military aid, there is probably hope, right?" Zhao Guodong asked.
Laos and Pakistan are in poor economic conditions, so they can’t afford it. However, Americans can now provide military assistance.
"Military aid is just for tanks. Even if there are tanks, so what? Lao Ba can't burn oil." Qin Zhenhua explained.
Let’s take a look at the gas turbine. Is there a third country in the world that is not only the United States and the Soviet Union? It’s just a monster that drinks oil. Lao Ba himself does not produce oil, so how can he withstand this consumption?
