Chapter 90 The Curtain of the Era Opens

Pakistan's GDP last year was US$17.8 billion, its population was 80 million, and its per capita GDP was US$222.5.

Last year, China's GDP was US$367.87 billion, its population was one billion, and its per capita GDP was US$367.9!

It can be said that we are all brothers in distress, and we are all as poor as ghosts.

The two sides also established diplomatic relations in 1951, which can be said to be one of the earliest countries to establish diplomatic relations with China.

Since 1962, the relations between the two sides have greatly improved and become closer. The second India-Pakistan war that broke out in 1965 allowed the two sides to establish pragmatic and long-term diplomatic relations.

When the Pakistani army received no support from the United States, China provided more than 3,000 tanks and other combat vehicles and 40 to 60 MiG fighter jets in less than a year, which greatly enriched the Pakistani army's arsenal.

When Liu Tao arrived at No. 1 Dongzhimenwai Street, he immediately felt something was different.

The guard didn't look cold or confused, but enthusiastic, and he spoke Chinese.

Liu Tao took a brief look at the building. If it had been last year, he would have gone to the 'Yi Shoutang'.

Yunus looked at Liu Tao with slight surprise. When he heard that someone was coming to visit him, he was surprised. However, adhering to the friendly relationship between the two parties, he still received Liu Tao in person.

He could see that Liu Tao was still very young.

"Young man, I wonder why you want to see me?" Yunus asked.

Liu Tao also got straight to the point, "Mr. Yunus, as you know, China no longer provides free military assistance to foreign countries and has changed it to a paid method. I am an arms dealer. This visit is to seek cooperation."

"We can talk about guns and ammunition, artillery, tanks and armored vehicles," Liu Tao said with a smile.

Yunas eyes were even more surprised.

He naturally knew what Liu Tao said, because before, he had sought another free military aid from China. After all, Pakistan was too poor. It would be great to be able to get weapons and equipment without spending any money. Only his request was denied.

As for spending money to import weapons and equipment from China, Yunus has never thought about it, because China's weapons and equipment are too backward. If you have money, you can import advanced weapons from the United States or Europe.

No one wants to use outdated weapons and equipment unless the weapons and equipment cost no money.

Yunus said: "Young man, I think you will return in vain this time. Our weapons and equipment are too backward."

"But you used these weapons and equipment to repel the Indian army, and we used these weapons and equipment to teach Annan a lesson. The more advanced the performance of the weapons, the better. Maybe weapons that can kill the enemy are good weapons." Liu Tao shrugged: " The more advanced weapons cost a lot of money, and you don’t have to be rich to buy them. You have to agree to a lot of conditions, and I am a pure arms dealer.”

"Mr. Yunus, you might as well listen to my quotation. You may need it in the future!" Liu Tao said with a smile.

Later, Liu Tao talked about the prices of various weapons and ammunition.

Yunus' face was expressionless.

Although they are indeed very cheap, and he is very excited, there is nothing he can do, Pakistan is too poor and has no money!

Liu Tao left a contact number, but he didn't insist on it. There were plenty of opportunities.

In the next two days, Liu Tao walked around the capital to see if he could get some orders.

Not to mention, he got several orders. A single order was worth several million US dollars, and the five orders in total were only 27 million US dollars.

Just when Liu Tao was about to leave the capital, a world-shaking event happened.

The Soviets brazenly entered Afghanistan, and Afghanistan broke out.

Listening to the radio, even though he had expectations in his heart, when it really happened, he still couldn't believe his ears.

Afghanistan, that is the cemetery of the empire, a huge fire pit!

Back then, the Sun Never Sets Empire dominated the world. It made three expeditions to Afghanistan but never conquered this place. It was a great shame.

Well now, the arrogant polar bear actually jumped in!

If nothing else happens, polar bears may repeat the mistakes of history.

Of course, if the polar bear can retreat immediately after being devastated, it will definitely be an excellent show of force.

But based on Liu Tao's understanding of polar bears, polar bears are always greedy for land, and it is difficult to spit out the land they swallow. In addition, polar bears are now the most powerful in martial arts, and their military strength has reached its peak in history. How can they be so arrogant? Pull away.

Liu Tao began to learn more news. This time the Polar Bears mobilized hundreds of transport planes to directly deliver their most advanced Alpha special forces to Kabul International Airport and Baghlan Air Force Base in the capital of Afghanistan. Then they directly entered Kabul and occupied the Afghan leadership, Ministry of Defense, radio station, etc.

The five divisions assembled on the border launched a pincer offensive against Afghanistan from the east and west. The offensive was like a tide. It was definitely a textbook military operation.

The powerful military strength and advanced tactical attacks vividly demonstrated the power of the Soviet army.

To be honest, the only two countries in the world that can achieve this level are the United States and the Soviet Union.

No other country can do this.

As for China, it is completely preparing for guerrilla warfare, to plunge the enemy into the vast ocean of people's war.

This choice is cruel, but it is also the only choice that has to be made in the face of a powerful enemy. This choice can ensure that China can achieve final victory instead of annihilation of the country.

The eyes of the whole world were attracted at once.

Liu Tao's eyes sparkled, he saw a huge business opportunity.

He knew very well that the United States would never want to see the Soviets gain a foothold in Afghanistan, and would definitely pay to make trouble.

Because once the Soviets gain a foothold in Afghanistan, they can exert influence in the Middle East, affect the energy security of Europe and the United States, and it is very likely to take this opportunity to open up a channel to the Indian Ocean.

And this will be disastrous!

It is far to transport weapons from the United States or Europe, but it is very close to transport weapons from him.

One pays money, the other provides weapons, what a perfect plan!

More importantly, in Afghanistan, weapons that are too advanced are not easy to use, and it just so happens that the weapons, equipment and ammunition of China are the most suitable.

Liu Tao felt excited when he thought about it. The curtain has been opened for him, and it will be a huge stage.

Even if he only gets a share of the pie, he can make a lot of money.

The turbulent 1980s officially kicked off, and he will strive to be the trend-setter of the times.

He was determined to serve the country through military industry, manufacture advanced weapons and equipment to equip the soldiers, so that the soldiers could use advanced weapons and equipment. However, it should be noted that weapons and equipment cost money, and they had to export as much as possible to earn money to feed back to the domestic military industry and national defense construction.

Without money, even if Liu Tao had a system, he would not have it. The weapons he developed could only be small batches of equipment, and more as a technical reserve.

Because China is really too poor now, as poor as a ghost.
