Since the end of June, Lu Jiadong has been very busy with the issue of arms sales, and after some planning, he and Blomberg and others have set off huge waves in the international arms market, repelling all obstacles and competitors from all walks of life, and causing the entire international arms community to pay attention to it.

The war between Iran and Iraq has intensified, and the war between the two oil-producing countries has directly led to violent shocks in the entire oil market, and the major oil-producing countries led by Saudi Arabia have their own evil intentions, resulting in the ineffective response of the OPEC organization under its control, resulting in a sharp rise in oil prices, once even breaking through $30 a barrel to a long-lasting high of $34 a barrel, directly causing the most serious oil crisis since 1973, and then making the recovery of the Western economy even worse.

However, the soaring oil prices have made oil importing countries cry without tears, but oil exporting countries have made a lot of money, especially the Soviet Union, which is rich in oil and gas reserves, has taken this opportunity to make a lot of money.

First, it stepped up its clean-up operations in Afghanistan and prepared to stabilize the situation in Afghanistan once and for all in preparation for the next step of approaching the Indian Ocean; then it actively intervened in Middle East affairs, not only providing huge military aid and loans to the Saddam regime in Iraq, but also actively arming Syria to continue its hostile attitude toward Israel, while weakening US influence in the Middle East.

As for Europe, which was at the forefront of the US-Soviet struggle for hegemony, the Soviet Union made frequent moves, using various methods and means to strike at the Western world led by the United States, and military deterrence was naturally the most indispensable major event, and for this reason, since April, the headquarters exercises of the Soviet military districts, conventional joint naval and land exercises, and the nuclear ~ assault exercises of the Strategic Rocket Forces have been frequently staged.

In view of this, the Western countries are very frightened and have stepped up their preparations for war. In response to the unexpected, it is just that these frequent exercises are just an appetizer for the Western world in the eyes of the Soviets, and they do not have a deterrent effect at all, and the dinner party that has been prepared for nearly a year is a luxurious feast that keeps Westerners awake at night.

On September 4, 1981, the Soviet Union launched the massive "Western 81" exercise on the vast Eastern European Plain, and it invested a large number of troops. The breadth of weapons and equipment, the complexity of the arms and services involved, and the vastness of the exercise area can be called the largest in history; when the television screen is constantly showing thousands of Soviet tanks rolling over the endless Eastern European Plain; when missile silos in Ukraine and missiles from strategic nuclear submarines under the Arctic Ocean are taking off into the sky; when Soviet soldiers with high morale shouting "Ula" When the mountains and fields were charged, every Westerner changed color, every Western country was shocked, and the entire Western world trembled!

Seeing such a reaction from the Western world, the leaders of the Soviet Party~Government~Army were all overjoyed, and as the traditional allies of the Soviet Union. India, which has always taken "being a big country with a strong voice" as its motto, has also doubled its confidence, and looking at the aggressive offensive posture of its backers, India, which was originally silent, is inevitably a little ready to move.

Now that the Western world is being forced by the Soviet offensive to raise its head, India feels that its opportunity has finally come, and the Soviet Union, which is mired in Afghanistan, has always hoped that this ambitious little brother can help in the east in order to relieve its own pressure. India began to create frequent incidents on its western border to test its old rival Pakistan, with which it had territorial disputes.

And Pakistan naturally cannot sit idly by in the face of provocations from its sworn enemies. At the same time, the territorial disputed Kashmir region was on alert, and there were several skirmishes with Indian troops disguised as tribal forces in several valleys, and the two sides gradually faced each other with each other's victories and defeats.

For India. Such a confrontation is nothing, just send more people and send more food, but Pakistan cannot withstand such a high-intensity military confrontation, you must know that the Soviet Union is still carrying out a large-scale clearance in the Hindu Kush Mountains to the west. The Pakistani army deployed on the western border will inevitably be ready for battle, and now that the eastern border is facing a real military confrontation between India and the enemy, Pakistan, which is poor and weak, is somewhat unable to support it, so it has sent a note to China, the United States, and other countries requesting urgent assistance.

Needless to say, whether it is to lead the world to compete for global hegemony or to safeguard the existing vested interests, the United States needs to trap the Soviet Union, a giant beast, in Afghanistan.

Not to mention China, it can be described as an all-weather friendship with Pakistan, the second and third Indo-Pakistani wars, China has given selfless help to Pakistan, not to mention the fact that in the face of the ambitious India in Tibet ~ the southern border is about to move, China also needs Pakistan's strong backup to contain it.

Therefore, after receiving Pakistan's note requesting help, China immediately made a decision to carry out live-fire exercises in Tibet's high-altitude areas, so as to deter India and contain India's troops.

After a series of mediation and operations by the parties concerned, India's provocations on the border did not escalate further, but gradually stopped, and the India-Pakistan border returned to its former calm on the surface, but both Pakistan and India know that this is only temporary, once the international situation changes abruptly, the tension on the India-Pakistan border will return, and even a more fierce war will break out!

In addition to India's substantial deterrence of Pakistan against Pakistan, Musharraf, who is a soldier, is even more intolerable because of India's border provocation that he almost lost the black hat on his head.

Musharraf originally thought that with his many years of contacts in the intelligence community, Musharraf would be able to make some achievements on the Afghan issue and then be promoted to army chief of staff, paving a broad road for entering the political arena in the future.

Not long after he was transferred to the army staff, India provoked an incident on the border, and then let him, the newly arrived deputy chief of staff of the army, be sent to the eastern border to participate in the command of the military confrontation against India before his ass was hot.

Therefore, when he faced the aggressive Indian army on the eastern front, he was a little panicked for a while, and the operational command was even more anxious; if it were not for his deep connections in the military and political circles, it is estimated that Musharraf would have been kicked off from the position of deputy chief of staff of the army!

Now that the border situation has calmed down, Musharraf still hates it when he thinks about it, even if Lu Jiadong, a foreign guest, is sitting in front of him, he does not forget to scold India twice, in order to express his unhappiness:

"These bunges of Indian dogs will take advantage of the fire to rob, relying on the Soviet Union to support them behind their backs, thinking about dominating the Indian Ocean, and they are not afraid of crashing into the ocean and drowning" After scolding India, Musharraf's mood was also much more relaxed, and then he raised his eyes and looked at Lu Jiadong, who was sitting opposite, and said in a soothing tone:

"Fortunately, with the selfless help of Chinese friends, these dog mongrels can put away their fangs and return to the nest with peace of mind, and I would like to thank our Chinese friends on behalf of the Pakistani government and army!"

"This is what we should do!" Lu Jiadong replied with a smile, he immediately set off to Pakistan after receiving Liu Haotian's assignment, because the military aid to Pakistan is carried out secretly, so it is necessary to hide all official colors, so it is most appropriate to transfer it to Pakistan only through the newly established China Hanli Technology Company.

Therefore, Lu Jiadong was urgently transferred to Pakistan to carry out a secret military assistance mission, so that this mission was nearing the end and the situation on the India-Pakistan border was gradually stabilized, so Lu Jiadong accepted the invitation of his old acquaintance Musharraf to have dinner at his temporary residence:

"In any case, with the unbreakable friendship between our two countries, it is impossible to sit idly by and watch the other side be threatened under any circumstances, so my esteemed Mr. Chief of Staff, what you just said is really too polite!"

"That's not a diplomatic courtesy, but a sincere thanks!" Musharraf said to Lu Jiadong with rare earnest words, and in fact, it is true, if it were not for China's strong support at the most critical moment, the India-Pakistan border would not have calmed down so quickly, and Musharraf would not have kept the position of deputy chief of staff of the army.

"If it weren't for the timely supply of weapons and equipment provided by China to terrify the Indian army in the conflict, India would not have retreated so quickly!"

"Oh, is it?" Hearing Musharraf's words, Lu Jiadong suddenly came to his senses (to be continued......
