Great Power Industry: You're a private company building an aircraft carrier?

Er Mao, Malyshev Factory.

Kucherenko held the brand-new turbocharger in his hand, his expression complex.

“Mr. Kucherenko, since we said we would, we will definitely do it.” Najesta looked at the old man with respect in her eyes, as if she were seeing her own grandfather.

“Yes, you did it,” Kucherenko said. “Next, once the funds from the two countries arrive, we will purchase a large quantity of these turbochargers. In fact, we can even have you produce some other tank parts.”

Najestad nodded: "Okay."

If it can earn Qin some extra profit, that would be good too.

"Mr. Kucherenko, Mr. Kucherenko!" Just then, a middle-aged man ran over: "We have just received news that the Pakistani army has received a huge sum of money, which is enough to purchase a large number of tanks!"

"Really?" Kucherenko looked at Nikolai Belov, the head of the Malyshev factory, with excitement in his eyes.

"Yes, that's right! We'll receive the deposit soon and send over the first batch of tanks! But..."

Belov looked at Najesta, but there were some things he couldn't say directly.

"Just what? Tell me, Nadya isn't an outsider."

“However, our factory is not yet able to produce brand new tanks. After all, many parts are produced by Russia, especially the tank guns. Russia has rejected our procurement requests.” Belov looked very nervous.

That's right, they already have orders, and the factory has recovered from the crisis. But what about the parts? Without parts, it's impossible to produce modern tanks!

"Yes, that's a big problem."

“Pakistan’s timeframe is very tight. Should we…” Belov said, looking towards the tank graveyard in the distance.

"No, absolutely not! We can't fool Pakistan with secondhand tanks, otherwise... it will seriously damage our reputation!" Belov said, then looked at Najesta.

"Nadya, I believe you can help us solve the parts problem. On behalf of the Malyshev Plant and the Morozov Design Bureau, I thank you in advance for your help!"

Najesda frowned.

She is not omnipotent, especially since she had not had much experience with military products like tanks before.

"Can't we produce it ourselves? Is it because we lack the equipment, or the technology?"

"During the Soviet era, many parts were manufactured separately. For example, the tank gun was designed by the OKB-9 design bureau in Yekaterinburg and then handed over to the No. 9 Artillery Plant in Motovelika for production. Although we in Russia also have steel mills, we do not have the technology to manufacture this kind of gun."

“Then let’s go to this No. 9 artillery factory and poach a few people!” Najesta said. “As long as the money is right, someone will definitely be willing to come!”

“Hmm, that’s a good idea…” Kucherenko looked at Belov: “Belov, once we get the funds, give some to Nadya and ask her to help bring over artillery craftsmen from the No. 9 Artillery Factory!”

"Oh."

“This deal is of utmost importance; we absolutely cannot use secondhand parts!” Kucherenko continued to emphasize.

Belov nodded heavily, then returned to his office to find his assistant bringing him a fax: "Director, Director, Pakistan has requested that the first batch of tanks be delivered within two weeks!"

Half a month?

Belov gritted his teeth: "Go over there, pick out some that are in good condition, paint them with fresh paint, and send them over to them first!"

Needless to say, it will take at least half a month for them to resume production. It would be good if they could build new tanks within six months!

The lack of parts isn't just about the gun barrel; there are many other things too! This isn't something that can be resolved quickly! That damned Russia actually claims the intellectual property rights to the T-80 and won't allow Russia to export tanks to Pakistan!

For now, let's use the old tanks from the tank graveyard to make up the numbers!

Belov ignored Kucherenko's words, unaware that he would soon pay the price: Pakistan returned the goods, and the Malyshev factory was forced to close down in the face of huge claims!

Of course, he had no idea that all of this was a trap set by Qin Chuan. Once Pakistan received the second-hand tanks, they would have a legitimate reason to terminate the contract!

The money for American military aid comes from our Eastern friends, so of course it should be spent on Eastern people!

Pakistan, Taxila Tank Factory.

"President Qin, your 1200-horsepower engine is excellent, even better quality than those produced by Er Mao!" Bajwa exclaimed, his mouth full of praise. The 6TD engine on the test bench in front of him was truly impressive!

"Well, in that case, we can officially start production for you. Your army is in dire need of advanced third-generation tanks and can't wait any longer! Our tank factory can also start production simultaneously!"

“That’s right, we are also full of expectations!” Said nodded. This money was hard-earned; he had to swallow his pride to get it!

However, even if he had to choose again, between saving face and money, he would still choose money! Trading his face for hundreds of millions of dollars, which could then be turned into hundreds of tanks, would be worth it!

"General Sayyid, General Sayyid! Something's happened, something's happened!" Just then, a subordinate rushed over, shouting as he ran.

"What's wrong?" Said frowned. "Did the Americans go back on their word and refuse to give us the money?"

"No, it is, it is..."

His men ran so fast that he couldn't keep up for a moment.

"Don't be in a hurry, drink some water first."

After a dozen seconds or so, once he had caught his breath and taken a few sips of water, he continued to speak.

"It's an Indian!"

If the Americans want to conquer the graveyard of empires, they need to maintain good relations with Pakistan and provide it with substantial military aid. Looking at the world, India is definitely the last country that wants to see this.

At times like these, it's quite normal for the Indians to jump out and cause some trouble.

"What happened to Ah San?"

At a time like this, do you think they could still launch an attack? If they did, they would be jeopardizing the United States!

"India has announced that it will conduct five underground nuclear tests in the Pokhran region. They want to use this action to announce to the world that they are about to become a nuclear-armed state!"

Qin Chuan's expression also changed: "Is the Indian going to break through this barrier?"

This incident occurred in the late 1990s, but Qin Chuan was unaware that it would actually happen this year.

India has surpassed Pakistan by many times in conventional weapons. No matter how hard Pakistan tries, it will never catch up with India. However, India is still extremely dissatisfied and, in order to show its power as a major South Asian country, it actually wants to break through this barrier!
