Chapter 125: Tension [Ask for Recommendation]
When the plane landed, Li Yue found that the arcade was actually Pakistan's deputy foreign minister and education minister. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Welcome brothers from China." Pakistani Deputy Foreign Minister Imran Abbas stretched out his hand from afar to welcome Li Yue and his entourage.
"Long live the friendship between China and Pakistan!" When shaking hands with Imran Abbas, Li Yue said stiffly.
Li Yue still feels very good about Pakistan, especially after 2008. At that time, netizens gave Pakistan a kind name - Pakistan Railway.
Why is Pakistan so close to its own country?
In 1965, the international environment of the Second Indo-Pakistani War was a breakdown in Sino-Soviet relations, and Sino-American relations were not thawed and were competing with China in Vietnam, while the Sino-Indian War had just broken out in 1962 and ended in the defeat of India. At this time, China and Pakistan have very good relations and have formed a de facto alliance. At that time, Pakistan's main allies were China and the United States, and Pakistan's military equipment was mainly American-style.
The second Indo-Pakistani war arose from the issue of undefined borders, which led to a major fight between the two sides. During the Pakistani President's visit to China in March 1965, Chinese President Liu Shaoqi made a clear promise to Pakistan that if India invaded Pakistan and sent its troops into Pakistan, China would support you. In addition, he also said that if India enters China, China can also enter India, and if India fights Pakistan, China can copy India's back road to Delhi (for related content, see "China's Support for Pakistan in the Second Indo-Pakistani War" in the third issue of the Foreign Affairs Review, by Cheng Xiaohe).
By making such a clear commitment to Pakistan, China is in fact ready to intervene in the war at any time. After that, the war between India and Pakistan really became more and more intense, and the Pakistani side was at a serious disadvantage. At first, China was mainly in diplomatic and public opinion support, and later the Chinese side was determined by Chairman Mao to intervene militarily.
In this war, the United States is ostensibly neutral, but in fact it is supporting India, and its political purpose is to try to push pro-American regimes to power and thus further contain China. At that time, because Pakistan's equipment was basically American-style equipment, the result of the United States' "neutrality" (military embargo on Pakistan) was to support India, and Pakistan, which was already weaker than India, actually reached a situation of life and death.
At this time, China was worried that Pakistan would have a coup d'état by pro-American forces due to huge external pressure, so it decided to change the past diplomatic support strategy and start military support. China's military support is very strong, China not only provides assistance to ordinary equipment, but even Pakistan including T-59 tanks and MiG-19 fighters, and a lot of military equipment is directly transferred from our army's equipment.
At a time when Pakistan was in danger and the military fortress of Lahore was on the verge of being lost, China took decisive action and pulled out the Indian-controlled fortifications on the Sino-Indian border, and then issued an ultimatum to India, that is, India had three days to dismantle all the fortifications on the Sino-Indian border and immediately stop all intrusive activities on the Sino-Indian border. China's ultimatum and series of actions shook the United States and the Soviet Union, which feared that China's involvement would trigger a larger war that would affect their own strategic interests. As a result, the Security Council adopted a resolution the day after the ultimatum, limiting India and Pakistan to cease fire within three days. As a result, India quickly dismantled the fortifications on the Sino-Tibetan border and went home, and the Second Indo-Pakistani War ended.
For China's strong support, Pakistan has been very grateful for the handling of bilateral relations since then.
"We arranged a welcome banquet for our brothers in China!" When everyone got into the car, Imran Abbas said to Li Yue and the others.
"I'm sorry to trouble the minister. This is the best tea I brought from China. Li Yue said and gave the gift he had prepared early in the morning. This kind of gift is just for coping with the scene, the ceremonial stuff. The real gift was something else that Li Yue had prepared.
"Thank you, thank you! The fact that the Chinese brothers can come to support Pakistan's education is already the best gift that the Chinese brothers have brought. Imran Abbas glanced at the Minister of Education on the side and said sincerely.
Liu Jian and others have never been to Pakistan, but have only learned about the country in newspapers, magazines and TV programs. When they saw the buildings on both sides of the street, everyone was quite surprised.
"I didn't expect the country to be so poor." Liu Jian's comrades-in-arms said.
"It's normal that the country has to go through the process! The atmosphere here is a bit tense though. See? There are a lot of armed roadblocks along the way, and if we hadn't had their deputy foreign minister leading the way, we would probably have been delayed for a long time to get to the station. Liu Jian said as he looked at the AK-47 in the hands of another armed Lukana Pakistani soldier.
However, as soon as Liu Jian's words fell, a loud noise suddenly sounded in the distant urban area, and as the loud noise came, a huge smoke and dust rose up.
"What's going on?" The occupants of the car were looking out of the window on one side.
"Terrorist attack?" Li Yue also saw the armed roadblocks all the way from the airport to the city, and Li Yue also felt the tension before, but after arriving in the city, Li Yue saw the campaign advertisement and realized that Pakistan was electing district councilors. It seems that this time period is very troublesome!
The airport where Li Yue landed this time is the international airport in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. This airport is too crowded to be used as a landing site for the Tu 160. It's too dazzling, it's easy to be targeted, and as long as the opponent's warp weapon in his hand can turn the Tu-160 into a pile of scrap metal.
"Go check it out and ask what's going on with the military?" The foreign minister was a little embarrassed, he had just received a Chinese brother who had come to donate, but something like this happened. At this time, the Minister of Education also looked out the window helplessly, and at this time he was worried in his heart, worried that Li Yue and them would be frightened, and gave up donating to the Ministry of Education. The rise and fall of the country, education-oriented, this is the most reasonable saying in that country, the country's economy is not good, the investment in education is very limited, and finally look forward to an education fund, but I didn't expect that the guests have not yet arrived at the hotel, but such a thing happened.
"I'm really sorry to frighten my brothers in China! It was a gas explosion in the back kitchen of a restaurant. "Within a few minutes, the Deputy Foreign Minister received a message from the military. Thankfully, it wasn't an attack, but an explosion in a restaurant's gas canister.
Li Yue didn't wonder if the explosion in the back kitchen was real, it wasn't something he cared about. Even if it's a terrorist attack, it's nothing. After all, what Li Yue will face in the future is even more terrifying than this. And before Li Yue came, he was mentally prepared for this.
After arriving at the hotel, everyone returned to their rooms to rest for the evening dinner.
"The situation here is tense, are you mentally prepared?" Li Yue asked after calling Liu Jian to his room.
"We'll do our best when your gear is in place, but the longer your plane stays, the more dangerous it becomes. We can't be foolproof without heavy firepower and reinforcements. Liu Jian said calmly.
"Rest assured, the equipment will be in place soon." Li Yue said this, but he was still worried about the situation here, and hoped that the vicinity of the airport he was going to tomorrow would ease up.
