Volume Eight, Hundred Years of Resentment, Chapter 37, Storms and Storms

Afternoon, Wang Yuanqing ended his visit early and returned to China...

The head of state special plane transformed by the clk-9350 aircraft (a 350-class large electric passenger aircraft manufactured by Shanghai Aircraft Company) has not yet arrived over Beijing, and news of the Republic and Indian border troops fighting fire in southern Tibet have spread all over the world, and Western news media have conducted concentrated reports on this.

What exactly does the Republic want to do?

Although Western news media concluded that the Republic took the initiative to create border friction and was preparing to take the opportunity to start war with India, regain the southern Tibet region that had been controlled by India for decades, and completely regain the last piece of lost land, there are still news media in many countries that believe that even if the head of state just made a promise to the Indian Prime Minister in New Delhi, even if the Republic intends to regain the southern Tibet region controlled by India, there is no need to create border conflict.

On 130 Beijing time, the Foreign Minister of the Republic held a press conference.

After expressing his consistent position to resolve border disputes through peaceful negotiations, the Foreign Minister announced the relevant news about the border conflict in the Yarlung Zangbo River Valley area from the night of the 5th to the early morning of the 6th local time. Due to traffic congestion and poor communication, Yan Shanglong did not announce much substantial news.

Almost at the same time, Indian diplomacy also announced relevant news to the press.

Unlike the news from the Duke of the Republic, the news released by the Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is more specific. At around 11:30 on the night of the 5th local time, the Indian Border Patrol troops affiliated to the Division encountered and exchanged fire with the Chinese Border Patrol while patrolling in the Dawang area. The battle lasted until around 3:30 am on the 6th. Indian soldiers were killed and 7 were injured. The casualties of the Chinese Border Patrol were unknown.

Because neither side used heavy weapons and did not call for reinforcements, the battle was not fierce.

Comparing the news released by both sides, it is not difficult to find that India is the one with the advantage, not the Republic.

In fact, India has always occupied an advantageous position in southern Tibet.

Before the India-Pakistan War, India deployed at least mountain infantry divisions in southern Tibet. After the Fourth India-Pakistan War, during the BJP rule, India, despite domestic resource difficulties, not only built highways in southern Tibet and improved the ground transportation network. It also built several air bases in nearby areas that could accommodate hundreds of combat aircraft. After Rurajapani came to power, it worked hard to build a mountain infantry division. By June 2027, the total Indian force in southern Tibet exceeded 150,000. In addition to deploying mountain infantry divisions in Assam (Dawang area), it also deployed a mechanized infantry division in adjacent areas, and established a logistics support base in Bihar.

It is completely contrary to India's vigorously strengthening military strength in southern Tibet. Until 2027, the Republic had only three infantry brigades deployed in the valley area (the Republic's Army had only three infantry brigades). Due to geographical restrictions, the country not only did not strengthen ground troops construction, nor did it carry out infrastructure construction with great fanfare. Even according to Western news media estimates that the non-Republics used airborne troops and air assault troops on a large scale. Otherwise, it would be difficult to defeat the Indian army in ground combat in southern Tibet.

If you don’t look at the comparison of troops, you can see who has the advantage.

If the logistics cannot keep up, no matter how many combat troops are, it will be useless. India has established a complete logistics support network in the eastern region. However, the Republic does not have corresponding logistics infrastructure. It is precisely because of this. Western countries unanimously agree that the Republic will not hesitate to strengthen the airborne troops and air assault troops locally. It is precisely because it is intended to use it to regain southern Tibet.

Because the airborne troops and air assault forces lack armored forces and are not suitable for regular combat operations, the Republic will definitely not issue any warnings if it wants to regain southern Tibet. It should seize the Indian air base and airport by surprise attacks. Cut off the Indian army's ground-based transportation routes and gain the initiative on the battlefield as soon as possible.

Is it necessary for the Republic to provoke border conflicts?

When there were many different opinions from the outside world, Wang Yuanqing returned to Beijing.

The head of state did not return to the head of state, but went directly to the General Staff.

The foreign journalist guarding the airport immediately discovered the situation and made bold speculation again.

The head of republic ended his visit in the middle of the journey. After returning to the country, he did not return to the head of state, but went directly to the General Staff. Does it mean that the republic is ready for war?

According to common sense, if the Republic does not intend to start a war with India, Wang Yuanqing should first resolve diplomatic issues.

The situation suddenly became tense, and even Al Jazeera mentioned in a comment published at noon that day that if the Indian government cannot give a reply that satisfies the Republic on the "South Tibet issue" in time, at least it can accept, the war will break out within a few days.

Although journalists cannot enter the Republic's military command center, they can stay outside and wait for news.

Until the night of the 6th, Wang Yuanqing did not leave the General Staff.

Signs of war are becoming more and more obvious, and journalists from various countries are also becoming more and more frequent.

On the 6th, 211:30, NN took the lead in reporting on Lanzhou, Xining and Chengdu Railway Stations implemented martial law, and a large number of military standards were painted.

The car is driving out of the station and enters Tibet along the Qinghai-Tibet and Sichuan-Tibet Railway (completed and connected in 20211 |: The power is twice that of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway).

Half an hour later, the news channel of Columbia Radio and Television reported a similar news: Kashgar Railway Station was fully martial law, and trains loaded with military supplies entered Tibet along the Xin-Tibet Railway (completed and opened to traffic in 2022, with a freight capacity equivalent to the Sichuan-Tibet Railway).

The most clear preparations for war.

By the morning of the 7th, Beijing time (night of the 6th, Eastern Time), the signs of the Republic preparing for war became increasingly obvious.

The three infantry brigades deployed in the Yarlung Zangbo River Valley area entered combat readiness in the early morning of the 7th, and the size of the border patrol increased by more than 2 times. The first batch of 12c transport helicopters arrived at the Linzhi Air Force Base before 1. Because the output power of the motor is not affected by the air, the maximum ceiling of the fully electric helicopter is far beyond that of ordinary helicopters using vortex engines. Taking the z-199 as an example, with a load of 5,500 kg, the ground-free ceiling reached 5,500 meters, and the ground-effective ceiling exceeded 6,000 meters, and it was able to fly over the Himalayas pass. Therefore, when the ground traffic was poor and there was no airport for tactical transport aircraft to land, the transportation helicopter became the main transportation tool for front-line combat troops.

In just one morning, several air force bases near Dalinzhi had more than helicopters.

When the transport helicopters entered Tibet, more than 1c0 tactical transport aircraft and large transport aircraft affiliated to the Air Force sent combat supplies and combat equipment to the front-line airport day and night. According to the news disclosed by CIA to NN, within only 12 hours from the early morning of the 6th to the 7th, the Republic's Air Force's transport aircraft dispatched more than 300 orders of transport aircraft and transported at least three air assault brigades to the front line.

The real decision incident occurred on the afternoon of the 7th.

The first batch of 12y-15b large transport aircraft reached the Rawalpindi Air Force Base south of Islamabad, and sent three sets of ground support and support equipment from the "air-based laser interception system" to the front line. Subsequently, three zly--16 "air-based laser defense system carriers" arrived at the Rawalpindi Air Force Base.

The ju was immediately discovered by the US reconnaissance satellite and was later confirmed by the intelligence system.

However, the "air-based laser interception system" cannot form a "strategic defense system" alone, but it can minimize the threat posed by Indian strategic ballistic missiles to Pakistan. Because the "air-based laser interception system" of the Republic was designed with "deployability" in consideration, all support and support equipment can be airlifted through large transport aircraft, and combat capabilities can be formed within an hour after arriving at the destination. Therefore, according to CIA's assessment, if the Republic is willing, Pakistan can become one of the few countries in the world with strategic defense capabilities overnight. Even according to Wang Yuanqing's commitment to the Pakistani President in Islamabad, the Republic will provide Pakistan with a "perfect strategic defense system" and need to deploy a "ground-based missile interception system" to Pakistan, and the entire deployment can be completed within a few days.

The Republic helps Pakistan at any cost, with the goal of launching a war!

On the morning of the 8th, the 24y-15b of three aircraft groups arrived in Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi Airport, and moved the main support and support equipment of the "ground-based missile interception system" into place. At the same time, the 12 Y-15b transport aircraft carrying long-range warning radar arrived at the Quetta Air Base.

In the next hour, dozens of y-15bs flew to Pakistan's air force bases one after another.

Although there are only 3 sets of "ground-based missile interception systems", the system can effectively intercept ballistic missiles within a range of 250 kilometers, so it is enough to protect more than 90% of the areas including all large and medium-sized cities in Pakistan. With the "air-based laser interception system", India's strategic strike force will be completely offset.

On the night of the 8th, the Pakistani President issued the highest combat readiness order.

Just when the whole world believed that the Republic and Pakistan would join forces to launch a war, the Pakistani Ministry of Defense and Foreign Affairs suddenly announced that they would hold a "Joint Military Exercise of the Navy, Land and Air" with the Republican Team in the southern region of Pakistan centered on Karachi from the 9th to the 11th.

Military exercises, or war?

On the morning of the 9th, the news was confirmed that it was indeed a military exercise, but it was not an ordinary military exercise.

At noon that day, the Republic Air Force, which participated in the exercise, successively launched three medium-range ballistic missiles with a range of more than 1,500 kilometers to the shooting range in southern Pakistan, and intercepted them by the "air-based laser interception system" and the "ground-based missile interception system" deployed in Pakistan.

The result was not unexpected. One missile was destroyed by a laser when it was about to enter the atmosphere, and two missiles were shot down by the interceptor missile when it entered the atmosphere.

Within the next two days, the two sides conducted multiple missile interception tests.

In everyone's opinion, the Republic has cheered Pakistan through missile interception tests and allowed Pakistan to make a decision to launch a war against India! (To be continued,)
