Chapter 1033 The Hand Behind the Scenes
January 8, the 14th day of the 12th lunar month.
Panshan Group headquarters welcomed the Pakistani plenipotentiary envoy ‘Salman Bashir’!
Liu Tao met Salman Bashir in the reception room, and he personally boiled water to make tea.
“Salman, my friend, I feel very sympathetic about your experience. The Indian side is militaristic and has provoked the war without authorization, which should be condemned by all parties.” Liu Tao expressed his attitude.
The two sides have a friendship of more than 20 years and are close friends.
As for the Indian side, both sides have been dirty.
Liu Tao naturally knows which side to stand on.
Moreover, they have held a meeting for this India-Pakistan war and reached a consensus.
The balance in South Asia should not be broken, and peace should be cherished rather than destroyed.
Salman Bashir was happy, and he felt Liu Tao’s attitude.
In the past few days, Pakistani representatives have been working separately, visiting major oil-producing countries in the Middle East to beg for alms, contacting countries around India, and Salman Bashir has come to China.
It was very smooth to go to the Middle East, and a total of 5 billion US dollars was begged from various Islamic brothers. This is only the first batch of donations. Now Pakistan is hoping to obtain interest-free loans or low-interest loans from several countries.
It was also very smooth to go to countries around India. Khalistan, Nepal, West Bengal, East India, South India, etc. have already begun to mobilize troops and conduct military exercises on the front line, but when they start the war is not Pakistan's business. Everyone is a sovereign state and has its own interests to consider.
This time when he came to China, Salman Bashir chose to come to China as his first stop.
Salman Bashir asked for the purchase of weapons and ammunition. Liu Tao was a little surprised and said, "Can't you support this war with your current military strength?"
The Pakistani Army is now equipped with more than 3,700 tanks, including more than 2,000 Type 59 tanks, more than 500 Type 59 modified tanks, and some Type 80 main battle tanks, Type 81 medium tanks and Type 81 light tanks, plus more than 600 tanks such as T54/T55, T69, T70, 2,000 armored transport vehicles, 4,400 field artillery, mortars and rocket salvo devices, 1,200 anti-tank missile launchers, 3,500 portable air defense missile systems, 2,500 anti-aircraft guns, and more than 160 helicopters.
It can be said that the Pakistani army is quite powerful.
The Pakistani Air Force has more than a thousand aircraft of various types, which should not be underestimated. Pakistan's navy is the first navy in South Asia, and it is much better than the Indian navy.
Moreover, unlike other Middle Eastern countries, Pakistan has certain military production capacity.
For example, J-6, J-7, Xiaolong, Type 59 tanks, etc., Pakistan at least has repair shops, can repair equipment by itself, and even has production lines for many of them.
In terms of missiles, although medium-range missiles are restricted, Pakistan has short-range missiles, and its missiles are not worse than those of the Indian army.
Before this, Liu Tao felt that the result of this battle was evenly divided between the two sides, and the Indian army chose to cease fire because it could not get an advantage.
There was no disparity in the strength of the two sides.
The Indian army has a larger number of troops, but the Indian army needs to deal with the east, south, west and north. India has not developed well in recent years and cannot support a long war.
Salman Bashir had to tell Liu Tao about the current situation between the two sides, and Liu Tao couldn't help but frowned slightly.
Originally, he thought that there was a polar bear behind India. After all, the two sides have a deep friendship, and the Indian procurement team will inevitably drink a few bottles of Volga when they go to the polar bear.
India now has two aircraft carriers, all from Polar Bear, a helicopter carrier, and a Riga aircraft carrier.
In this case, the advantage of the Pakistani Navy is no longer very obvious.
What's more, there is the CIA behind this, which also means that the Americans are making trouble. At this time of handover, the Americans are already ready to move.
If this allows India to return to its previous situation, it will not be good.
After all, that direction is not the main direction of China, not even the secondary direction.
The current situation in South Asia is that Liu Tao has spent a lot of effort and invested huge manpower, material and financial resources to have this pattern.
South Asia is balanced, maintains peace, and then develops separately.
South Asia does not need a hegemonic existence to gain hegemony in South Asia!
The next day, Liu Tao promised Salman Bashir to provide a batch of weapons and ammunition at a 40% discount.
That afternoon, the first train was already loaded with weapons and ammunition and set off along the railway.
The India-Pakistan war is in full swing.
Khalistan, since its founding, has been an enemy of India. Indians will never forget the Sikhs' betrayal of India, and Sikhs will never forget India's enslavement of them and the Indians' desecration of the Sikh temples.
Although Khalistan's conventional military force is only 100,000 people, it actually maintains a national military. So far, 30 million Sikhs, even primary school students, have to receive military training every year to respond to possible Indian invasions at any time.
The Khalistan army is organized into brigades, regiments, battalions, companies, platoons, and squads. A squad has 10 people, a platoon is divided into three squads with a total of 35 people, a company consists of three platoons with about 120 people, and a battalion is equipped with four companies with about 500 people, a regiment is equipped with three battalions with about 1,500 people, and a brigade is equipped with four regiments, which is about 6,000 people.
The Khalistan army is brave and good at fighting, and has never lost the upper hand in all the frictions.
This time, the Khalistan army began to bombard the Indian army on the opposite side along the river defense line. The two sides used the river as the boundary, and the boundary was located in the middle of the river.
In recent years, the two sides have fought over water sources, and it is common for one or two hundred people to die every year.
All 100,000 troops of Khalistan are deployed along the river defense line. In recent years, air force bases, air defense positions, and radar positions have been built.
As a major grain-producing country, Khalistan has become a rich country in South Asia by exporting grain, and its per capita income is the highest among all countries in South Asia.
Khalistan's soldiers are also fully armed, and the infantry even have bulletproof vests and bulletproof helmets, and tanks and armored vehicles are also available.
In order to guard against Khalistan, the Indian army has deployed more than 200,000 troops along the river all year round, and is in a defensive posture.
It once happened that an infantry regiment of Khalistan fought against the same army of the Indian army, and the Indian army was beaten to pieces.
The two sides began to bombard, and the Indian army immediately blew up the bridges along the river and took a defensive posture to prevent the Khalistan army from killing them.
At the same time, the Indian army immediately reported the situation to the upper level and requested air force reinforcements.
There is no way, the Sikhs are brave and good at fighting, and they are too brutal.
What's more, at this time they are also worried that Nepal will launch an attack from the flank, thus being attacked from both sides!
The Sikhs are brave and good at fighting, and the Nepalese soldiers are also very brutal.
