Chapter 1258: Hit it off

When I saw Tan Zhenhua again, Mahmoud was a little embarrassed.
Although within his scope of authority, he asked himself that he didn't do anything to apologize to Tan Zhenhua, the foreign brother, and tried his best to make Zia. President Huck’s cooperation with Tan Zhenhua’s participation in several major military-industrial projects, in his view, is the right way for the Pakistani iron country to maintain stability and move towards prosperity.
Unfortunately, some people in Pakistan do not think so.
They believe that it is important to maintain a good relationship with China, but only close to the United States, the world’s number one military and political power, can guarantee the safety of Pakistan Railways, and they also cited sufficient evidence to prove this. After the Soviet-Russian invasion of Afkhan, it was the United States that gave a large amount of military aid and obtained a large amount of assistance from the UN refugee agency and various non-governmental charities for Pakistan through its influence, which stabilized the border line. The tension has fed the millions of wailing mouths in the refugee camp.
These people are not a minority. They are influenced by the Western culture and way of thinking led by the United States. In Pakistan, they advocate full openness, free economy, freedom of speech, and referendum-style elections. The important international relationship is the relationship with the United States. In Mahmoud’s view, these people have completely forgotten why the Pakistani Railways almost perished in the second India-Pakistan war that year!
Ektat, Chairman of the Pakistan Railway Investment Joint Committee. Sharif is the representative of this group.
Ektat. Sharif, by looking at his surname, he was born in one of the two famous political giants in Pakistan, the Sharif family. The family’s home base and foundation is Punjab, the wealthiest province in Pakistan. Punjab is known as the
granary
of Pakistan. Its status in Pakistan is similar to Jiangnan Province in China.
The Itfak Group, controlled by the Sharif family, is the leading consortium in Pakistan. Its business covers steel, textile, sugar, agriculture and other industries. It controls almost all the advantageous industries in the entire Punjab Province and extends to the whole country.
Readers of this book know that economy and politics have always been two sides of the same body, and it is impossible to separate families. Therefore, the Sharif family has naturally become an important force in the Pakistani political arena, and even more than that. The Sharif family is The second largest party in Palestine and the leader of the Sharif faction, the largest faction in the Muslim League, the political leader of this faction is named Nawaz Sharif, the eldest son of the current head of the Sharif family, Mian Mohamed Sharif, and he I am also the elected Chief Minister of Punjab Province (similar to the post of Governor of China.)
And the current head of the Sharif family, Mian Mohamed Sharif, is Zia. President Huck’s guest and one of the most important political allies.
The reason for this situation is, of course, because they need to unite against the Bhutto family, another big political giant in Pakistan.
As mentioned in the previous article, President Huck came to power in a coup d’etat, and after taking office, despite the opposition at home and abroad, he insisted on executing the former head of government Ali. For this reason, Bhutto forged a feud with the Bhutto family.
In fact, if you go deeper, Huck is helpless, because the Bhutto family is too powerful. If you can’t deal with it with an iron hand, then, the president who has become a president, I am afraid that he will face the embarrassing situation of not leaving the presidential palace. .
The Bhutto family, the true largest political powerhouse in Pakistan, is based in Sindh, where Pakistan is more economically developed, and is the chief family of the largest tribe in the province. How big is this tribe? Well, there are hundreds of thousands of members of immediate family members alone!
The political history of this family can be traced back to the time before the partition of India and Pakistan. The then head of the family, Shah Nawaz Bhutto, was the predecessor of Sindh Province, the prime minister of Unagad, and was canonized by King George VI of Britain. Sir. In 1947, Palestine became independent, and Nawaz played a decisive role in it. From then on, the family entered the Palestine political arena. By December 1967, the son of Shah Nawaz Bhutto, Zolfikar Under the leadership of Ali Bhutto, the Pakistani People’s Party was founded, Ali. Bhutto was elected as the leader of the Pakistani People’s Party. The People’s Party under his leadership quickly grew into the largest party of the Pakistani Railway. Bhutto participated in the general election and was re-elected as President and Prime Minister of Pakistan until he was taken by Zia in 1977. Huck launched a coup to overthrow.
Although Ali﹒ The Bhutto regime was overthrown, and I was also hanged. However, the political forces formed by his family’s decades of operation in the Pakistani Railways are intertwined, and they have mastered countless key departments in the various levels of government, and from time to time they give Zia. Huck pushed the executive order to set up various obstacles. In desperation, President Huck had to seriously study Chinese culture and come to a joint vertical and horizontal, distant and close attack. Then the Sharif family ranked second naturally became his main target of alliance.
As it happens, the Sharif family still has an enmity with the Bhutto family...
Although he was born into a big landlord family, but Ali. Bhutto’s idea of ​​governing the country was actually quite idealistic. During his administration, he promulgated a new constitution, stipulating the basic human rights of citizens, and prohibiting racial and sectarian discrimination. At the same time, he was also an active promoter of the nationalization policy. I want to nationalize important industries such as banking, transportation, and steel, and plan to implement land reform in rural areas.
The implementation of these policies undoubtedly touched the fundamental interests of the Sharif family, who are big capitalists, in Ali. During the years when Bhutto was in power, he did cause great losses to the Sharif family. Therefore, Kia. As soon as Huck stretched out the olive branch of the union, Mian Mohammed Sharif took it without hesitation, and thanks to Sharif’s help, Zia. Huck can finally liquidate the remaining forces left by the Bhutto family in the Pakistani political system with confidence.
Of course, in return, President Huck must give certain benefits to the Sharif family both politically and economically.
Ektat. Sharif, the cousin of Sharif family patriarch Mian Mohamed Sharif, is one of the concrete manifestations of these benefits. He has been given the position of "Chairman of the Pakistan Railway Investment Joint Committee" and has taken charge of the communication and investment between Pakistan Railway and foreign capital. The specific affairs of management.
Obviously, this is a beautiful difference.
More obviously, the decision to develop such a major project as Gwadar Port will definitely go through full discussion among the main political and economic leaders and powerful figures within the Pakistan Railway. Zia. Even though President Huck is a de facto dictator, he will never be able to achieve his promises. As long as this plan is exposed, countless stakeholders will be coveted.
Because whenever this kind of nationwide project, it must contain great benefits and opportunities!
This is a piece of fat, how could the Sharif family not be tempted?
Ektat. Sharif acted and hit it off with the Western interest groups who came to the door.
