On July 18, Prime Minister Santos of the interim government of India announced a de facto curfew in major cities such as New Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata from now on. From 8 p.m. to 5 a.m., no one is allowed to go out of the country, except for the military and police who maintain law and order and those with special passes.

The unrest was quickly quelled, and all that remained in the hearts of Indians was the national hatred that had nowhere to vent.

On the same day, the US Secretary of State openly stated at an event of the Indian Chamber of Commerce in the United States that India has earnestly fulfilled the Security Council's ceasefire resolution and that the United States will not impose sanctions on India.

On the 19th, a delegation led by the US National Security Adviser arrived in New Delhi.

In addition to Eric and three other members of the US Government, the other 28 members of the delegation were representatives of the US business and business circles, such as the marketing president of Lockheed Martin, the president of the military products branch of Boeing, the marketing president of Northrop, and the marketing president of General Electric.

On the same day, the United States and India signed a letter of intent for investment cooperation worth hundreds of millions of yuan.

According to the agreement, 25 large US enterprises will provide India with reconstruction funds worth a total of $25 billion in the form of India's transfer of domestic markets such as telecommunications, electricity, transportation, and water resources, guaranteed by the US Government, to help India recover from the wounds of war and develop its national economy.

The United States has long expected "strategic assistance" to provide to India, and the outside world is most concerned about US-Indian military cooperation.

According to some information released by the Indian Government one after another, the focus of US assistance is to help India rebuild its armaments, but the two sides have not reached an agreement on some key issues. For example, the United States wants to sell F-35 and F-22I fighters and other advanced weapons and equipment to India in the form of complete aircraft exports, while India hopes to reduce procurement costs and master core technologies by purchasing production licenses.

On the 20th, N TV reported a major news.

India will purchase the US Navy's decommissioned and mothballed aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk at the expense of refurbishment, and purchase nearly 80 carrier-based aircraft, including the F/A-18E/F, F-35C, E-2D, and SH-60.

Forthwith. The information was denied by the US Department of Defense.

As early as six years ago. The USS Kitty Hawk had just been decommissioned from the U.S. Navy. There is news that India is ready to purchase the ship and supporting carrier-based aircraft. Later the aircraft carrier "Vikrant" was launched. The rumor vanished.

It is widely believed that the outside world will be. It is unlikely that India will purchase the Kitty Hawk.

Construction of the Kitty Hawk began in the fifties of the last century. Launched into service in the early sixties. It is now 54 years old. The U.S. military decommissioned the Kitty Hawk. It is precisely because the maintenance cost of the ship is seriously exceeded. For the overstretched Indian Navy. Even if the United States gave away the "Kitty Hawk" free of charge. It may not be able to afford it. Kitty Hawk is a large aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of more than 80,000 tons. Strategically positioned as an Indian naval territory. There is no need for such a huge aircraft carrier. Considering that more than 80 supporting carrier-based aircraft, the cost of land procurement is as high as $12 billion. The Indian Navy is even more powerless.

Judging by the majority. India mainly wants to acquire a group of slightly younger American warships.

Take the actual situation in India. Even if Santos takes advantage of the people's revenge to play the armament card. Invest huge military spending to revive armaments. It will also build its own medium-sized aircraft carrier carrying F-35 fighters on the basis of the "Vikrant". Escort warships are then acquired through procurement or gratuitous land acquisition. Build an aircraft carrier battle group as fast as you can.

The U.S. Navy has a number of cruisers and destroyers that have just been decommissioned, or are about to be decommissioned, that need to be disposed of.

By selling them half-for-away, selling them together, or bundling them for improvement, the United States will certainly be more than happy to "give" these warships to India.

While the outside world was still speculating about which warships the United States would "give" to India for free, the Russian diplomatic mission arrived in New Delhi on the 22nd. Compared to the "VIP" treatment received by the American mission, the hospitality received by the Russian mission was much more shabby.

As most expected, Russia has pledged less than $200 million worth of reconstruction aid to India, and the two sides have not signed any letters of intent for large-scale economic cooperation. In terms of arms procurement, India has only purchased spare parts worth less than $500 million from Russia, and has not purchased weapons and equipment in large quantities.

On the same day, China-Pakistan economic and trade cooperation talks concluded in Islamabad.

According to the results of the negotiations announced by the two sides, China will provide Pakistan with $7 billion in reconstruction funds in the form of government guarantees and no strings attached, to help Pakistan improve its domestic infrastructure, improve public education and health security, and improve the living standards of its citizens.

Comparatively speaking, China-Pakistan non-governmental economic and trade cooperation is more influential.

Pakistan will establish a free trade area with China and gradually achieve zero tariffs within five years; Provide preferential policies to Chinese capital and vigorously introduce Chinese capital. China encourages private capital to invest in Pakistan in the form of government guarantees; commit to increasing investment from less than $500 million to $25 billion within five years; Within five years, China has provided 5,500 places for Pakistan to study abroad in the form of scholarships to encourage Pakistani students to study in China.

Immediately after the announcement, it aroused the interest of several other South Asian countries.

At the end of July, the Nepalese government publicly stated that it wanted to join the China-Pakistan Free Trade Area. The Chinese government immediately responded by saying that it could expand the China-South Asia Free Trade Area (CPFTA) and give all member countries the most preferential trade and investment policies.

Subsequently, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka also expressed their intention to join the free trade area.

In the end, even Myanmar and the Maldives expressed the same will.

So far, the pattern of Sino-US hegemony in South Asia has taken shape. The outside world generally believes that the "economic and trade card" played by China is more long-term and strategic, while the United States is more eager for quick success. However, the vast majority of commentators are still not very optimistic about China, first of all, the influence of the United States far exceeds that of China, secondly, the "China-South Asia Free Trade Area" without India is incomplete and does not have much impact on the South Asian region, and finally, India has not been completely defeated, and still has great influence on Sri Lanka and other countries, which will have a great impact on China's South Asia policy.

The disturbances in South Asia have attracted so much attention that many people have not noticed the changes in China and the United States.

By July 25, hundreds of high-ranking officials in China had been arrested for corruption, resigned on the grounds of ill health, or died in car accidents and other accidents.

According to some outside commentators, Ji Youguo took advantage of the prestige of the first published text version of the 16k novel wàp. that had just been established, and threw up a storm of "anti-corruption and clean government" in China. Some people also believe that Ji Youguo is using "anti-corruption and clean government" to crack down on domestic opposition forces and consolidate his ruling position. Some people believe that Ji Youguo wants to use this to rectify officialdom discipline, crack down on first-class officials, enhance national cohesion, and gain more support and recognition from the people.

None of them linked China's domestic "clean government storm" to spies.

Two major events have also taken place in the United States.

On July 24, the U.S. Coast Guard found former CIA Director Jonathan dead in a private yacht in the waters north of the Chesapeake Bay, and preliminarily concluded that Jonathan had died in homicide. Because hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of valuables were lost, the FBI believed that the yacht had been robbed and that Jonathan was killed by the robbers while resisting.

Two days later, Senator Myers of New York died of a heart attack at his private villa on Long Island.

On the same day, the U.S. Senate voted 81 to 18 to approve President Jappel's nomination of Wesley for the post of director of the CIA.

At this time, a counterintelligence storm had just blown.

According to the information provided by Palmer, the Military Intelligence Agency, the Foreign Intelligence Agency, and the National Security Bureau conducted a joint operation, dispatched more than 1,000 agents on the night of 26 July, and coordinated with hundreds of special forces sent by the General Staff to eliminate in one fell swoop more than 10 spy networks set up by the US Central Intelligence Agency and the Indian Joint Investigation Bureau in the territory of the Republic, and captured and killed hundreds of spy personnel.

On the 27th, the CIA and the Joint Investigation Bureau of India launched "countermeasures".

In this war, which saw no smoke of gunpowder, the CIA and the Joint Investigation Bureau, which had rushed to the battle, lost even more. In Wesley's words: Overnight, the United States not only completely lost its access to intelligence from China, but the damage was not measurable in monetary terms.

Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, because according to Pan Yunsheng's meaning, the military intelligence agency deliberately left several CIA intelligence networks, preparing to use them to provide false information to the CIA in the future. For example, after the elimination of a high-ranking "mole" who had been lurking in the CIA for more than 30 years and was about to come into contact with the "Yanhuang Project", it will be difficult for CIA spies to penetrate the top of the MIA in the next 30 years.

As with all shady things, the intelligence war between the two sides has not been made public.

Ji Youguo fully trusts Pan Yunsheng, and he is not an intelligence officer. At that time, Ji Youguo didn't even pay much attention to China-Pakistan economic and trade cooperation, and left all the relevant work to Premier Pang Xinglong.

On the evening of the 27th, Pan Yunsheng sent the first report.

Regarding the final result, Ji Youguo was satisfied. Pan Yunsheng did not disappoint him, whether it was dealing with defective officials or eradicating the enemy's spy network, Pan Yunsheng chose the right time. What is commendable is that Pan Yunsheng also used several important channels provided by Palmer to deliberately leak the list of a group of defectors, so that the CIA executed these traitors on behalf of the military intelligence agency.

Just like the intelligence war five years ago, Pan Yunsheng has added a strong touch to his legendary experience.

It's just that this intelligence war will soon be overshadowed by a major incident.

On 31 July, Ji Youguo summoned Peng Maobang, chief of the General Staff, Pang Xinglong, premier of the State Council, and others to inform them of the upcoming military reform.

Ji Youguo did not ask for advice, but only informed in advance and received a preventive shot.

Damn it*

On the shelves on October 1st, I hope for an October monthly pass, and I beg for a recommended collection!.
