Volume 8 A Hundred Years of Grudge Chapter 35 Desperate Situation

After the news of "Sunflower", Li Cunxun and Liu Xiaobin immediately rushed to:

When the two arrived, Prime Minister Zong Yingren, Defense Minister Ye Zhisheng, and Major General Lu Chengwen, commander of the special forces directly under the General Staff Department, had already arrived. [Full text reading]

"Is the intelligence certain?"

"It's been confirmed." Li Cunxun did not hesitate, lit a cigarette, and said, "At the just-concluded meeting of the cabinet and the military department, all officials and generals agreed that we should take action to prevent us from sending troops to recover southern Tibet and help India tide over the difficulties by taking advantage of the 'Kashmir conflict'. ”

"Murakami didn't make a decision?" Zong Yingren asked.

Li Cunxun nodded and said, "Murakami Sadamasa did not make a decision at the meeting, probably with concerns, or worries. Judging by the current situation, Japan has no choice. After parting ways with the United States, to be precise, after developing nuclear weapons, Murakami Sadamasa has been trying to avoid a conflict with our country. Japan does not have many strategic options, and in recent years, Japan has been strengthening cooperation with India, hoping to join forces with India to deal with us. If India loses again, India will not be able to pose a threat to us for the next decade to twenty, except that the Congress Party will lose the upcoming general election. Not to mention ten years, it only takes five years for us to solve the Japanese nuclear issue. Murakami must help India through this, and the only option is to cause trouble in Taiwan. ”

Zong Yingren nodded, affirming Xun's analysis.

Compared with Gu Weimin, Zong Yingren has the same views as Wang Yuanqing in foreign policy, and basically will not oppose Wang Yuanqing's strategic decision. In other words, Zong Yingren lacks assertiveness on strategic issues.

"In that case, what else does Murakami have to hesitate?" Xiang Linghui extinguished the cigarette butt and looked at Li Cunxun.

Li Cunxun smiled and didn't rush to speak.

"There's nothing wrong with meta-ground analysis. Murakami is indeed always cautious. Ye Zhisheng answered Xiang Linghui's question. Judging from the current situation. What worries Murakami most is that we will use the 'Kashmir conflict' and the 'southern Tibet issue' to paralyze Japan. Let him make the wrong strategic decisions. Give us a casus belli. In this way, we are not doing something in South Asia. Or that war with India would be inevitable. Otherwise, Murakami Sadamasa would not have taken a crucial step rashly. ”

"In addition, the internal situation has to be developed." Li Cunxun added.

Ye Zhisheng nodded. Say more.

"So to speak. We should act as soon as possible in accordance with the meta-ground deployment. Xiang Linghui picked up another cigarette. The special forces are ready. Take action at any time. ”

"The deployment of the MIA has also been completed."

Everyone turned their attention to Zong Yingren. When Wang Yuanqing visited other countries, Zong Yingren held the strategic decision-making power.

Zong Yingren glanced at Ye Zhisheng, nodded and said: "In this case, I will contact Yuan as soon as possible, and after receiving a positive reply, the General Staff and the Military Intelligence Bureau will take immediate action." ”

This is the end of the meeting, and several participants know that Ye Zhisheng's voice is above Zong Yingren.

At this time, Wang Yuanqing had just arrived in Islamabad.

Pakistani President Al-Qardari not only personally greeted Wang Yuanqing at the airport, but also accompanied the Republic of China to review the guard of honor of the three Pakistani armed forces, and organized the Republic's non-governmental representatives in Pakistan to the airport to greet Wang Yuanqing.

According to the usual practice, Wang Yuanqing will hold an official meeting with the President of Pakistan after meeting with non-governmental representatives.

On the morning of 5 July, Wang Yuanqing had a telephone conversation with Zong Yingren at the Embassy of the Republic in Islamabad and approved the actions of the General Staff and the Military Intelligence Bureau as planned.

Receiving Yuan's instructions, the action immediately began.

A storm is coming!

On the afternoon of the 5th, Wang Yuanqing held a formal meeting with Pakistani President Qaddari.

During the two-hour talks, Wang Yuanqing not only reaffirmed the "traditional friendship" between the Republic of China and Pakistan, but also pledged to earnestly fulfill the "China-Pakistan Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance" and promised to provide Pakistan with "strategic security guarantees" on the basis of jointly maintaining peace and stability in the South Asian region.

As soon as the news was announced, the global news media was in an uproar.

"Strategic security" is higher than "national security".

In all military-political alliance treaties, "national security guarantee" mainly refers to the obligation of the Norwegian side to provide all assistance, including military assistance, to help the allies defend their territory and sovereignty, or to adopt the strategy of advancing and retreating with the allies to jointly deal with a third party. "Strategic security assurance" mainly refers to providing all-round national basic security guarantees for allies and resisting strategic attacks by third parties through the joint construction of a "strategic defense system."

To put it simply, "strategic security" is the highest level of alliance obligation.

There are only two countries capable of providing "strategic security guarantees" to their allies, the United States and the Republic.

To date, the United States has not made "strategic security assurances" commitments to any of its allies.

The Republic's provision of "strategic security guarantees" to Pakistan is by no means as simple as a single sentence, and practical and effective action must be taken, and it will be fought

Strategically balanced action.

According to the speculation of the Western news media, the republic will fulfill its commitments in two stages.

First, Pakistan will be provided with a limited "strategic defense" to enable it to resist India's strategic attack, and second, Pakistan will be included in the Republic's "national strategic defense system" to provide it with a comprehensive "strategic defense" capability. After completing these two steps, Pakistan will establish a "common defense system" with the republic. Although the entire construction process will take years, if not decades, during which the two sides will have to resolve legislative and financial issues, it will have a decisive impact on the strategic balance in South Asia.

According to outside estimates, India will not have more than 200 strategic nuclear warheads.

Because India lost its only strategic nuclear submarine in the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War, failed to make a breakthrough in the "Sea-based Strategic Strike Platform" project launched in 20177, and lacked a strategic bomber with a long enough range, India's strategic deterrent force is mainly composed of "Agni". medium- and long-range ballistic missiles with 120 "Agni" ||medium-range ballistic missiles.

Both missiles can only carry one nuclear warhead, and although the range is enough to cover the entire Pakistan and most of the Republic, they lack the ability to penetrate defenses, and it is difficult to break through the Republic's "national strategic defense system". And most importantly, the "Agni" that poses the greatest threat to the republic |||medium- and long-range ballistic missiles are deployed in underground silos and lack survivability.

In general, India's "fire" |||A large city of a quasi-republic, "Agni" ||is aimed at Pakistan.

In order to equip Pastan with a limited strategic defense capability, the Republic is likely to deploy an "air-based laser interception system" using Y15 aircraft as a carrier platform at air bases in Pakistan. According to the data published by the Western media, the "air-based laser interception system" is capable of intercepting ballistic missiles at a range of 500 kilometers in the booster and ascent stages, and the "Agni" ||The maximum range of ballistic missiles is only 1,500 kilometers, and the ballistic altitude does not exceed 250 kilometers. Only 6 "air-based laser interception systems" are needed to ensure the security of Pakistan's homeland, so that "Agni" ||ballistic missiles became ornaments. In order to strengthen its interception capability, the Republic also has the possibility of providing Pakistan with a "ground-based missile interception system" with a range of up to 150 kilometres capable of effectively intercepting ballistic missiles in the re-entry phase. Combining the two interception systems, even if India launches 120 ballistic missiles at the same time, it will not pose a substantial threat to Pakistan.

As far as the Republic is concerned, it will not be difficult for Pakistan to provide six sets of "air-laser interception systems" and "ground-based missile interception systems," nor will it have a major impact on the Republic's own "national strategic defense system." Since Pakistan's main armament is provided by the Republic and the infrastructure is quite complete, all deployments can be completed within one week if necessary.

The reality is very harsh.

Although Pakistan's strategic deterrence capability is not strong, with less than one nuclear warhead and less than 50 ballistic missiles capable of striking the entire territory of India, will Pakistan still take India seriously when it has a "Chinese shield" that is sufficient to resist the "Indian spear" and India does not have a strategic defense capability?

India has no choice but to make concessions on the "Kashmir issue" and the "southern Tibet issue."

It can be seen from this that Wang Yuanqing Islamabad did not resolve the conflict between India and Pakistan, but instigated Pakistan to start war in disguise.

According to Western media, after Wang Yuanqing concludes his visit to five South Asian countries, if India still takes a tough stance on key issues, Pakistan will take the lead in launching a ground offensive in Kashmir and fully occupy Kashmir, while China will send troops to southern Tibet at an appropriate time.

War has reached the point of being touch-and-drop.

On the night of the 5th, Rurajapani had a hotline call with US President Westwood.

The two talked on the phone for nearly two hours, and according to speculation from the outside world, Rurajapani would definitely ask the United States to sell strategic defense systems to India as soon as possible to maintain the strategic balance in South Asia.

The key issue is that even if Westwood makes a commitment, it must be approved by Congress; Even if the president's proposal passes Congress, it will take more than a month. Unless the United States sends military personnel to help India master the relevant advanced equipment, it will take months, if not years, for India to have a basic strategic defense capability.

Will the Republic and Pakistan give India such a long time to prepare?

If the Republic is determined to take advantage of this opportunity to recover southern Tibet, not to mention giving India a few years of preparation time, I am afraid that dozens of days will not be wasted.

Subsequently, Rurajapani had a hotline with Japanese Prime Minister Samadamasa Murakami.

It can be seen from this that India has been cornered.

In the early morning of the 6th, Murakami Sadamasa called Ryohei Taniki and asked the director of the National Security Bureau to report the situation to him immediately.

India was cornered, and Japan lost its turnaroundU leeway, Murakami Sadamasa must make a decision as soon as possible! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next.) More chapters,! )
