Chapter 334: Kashmir
Of course, as for whether he can find a qualified sapphire mine, Tang Feng is actually not sure. For such a thing as searching for mineral deposits in the vast mountains, Tang Feng can only use the star core survey to complete, and he can't use the deformation survey, so he can only rely on the current eighteen-kilometer survey radius of the star core to search.
However, Tang Feng is not worried, even if he can't find a sapphire mine that meets the standards, Tang Feng will collect some scattered deposits, and then go to Sri Lanka, Thailand and Myanmar, who makes those places also have a lot of sapphires.
In the past, my brother was not interested in tinkering with gem mines, so it is not a problem for you to keep those mines, but now that my brother is going to engage in gem mines, then I'm sorry, the gem mines I found are naturally mine, and if your mines are in good condition, they will also become mine
For these countries, to be honest, Tang Feng has no good feelings in his heart, and he got some mines from their land to return to China, in Tang Feng's opinion, this is a natural thing, who let Lao Tzu have a star core!
Of course, if you find a qualified sapphire mine in Kashmir, then you who are treasures are too lazy to move. So, you'd better pray that you can find a good vein in Kashmir, so that you can avoid a big loss!
The former cornflower sapphire mine is located near the most controversial line of actual control (LAC) in Kashmir, on the upper reaches of the Neelum River on the India-Pakistan dividing line. Landing at Beto International Airport.
Heading east from Islamabad, along the Neelum River, into the Himalayas, and a few hundred kilometres further to the defunct mine. And Tang Feng's destination is around the abandoned mine.
From Islamabad, drive more than 100 kilometres northeast on Highway 75. We came to the banks of the Jehelum River. This largest tributary of the Indus River is also the de facto dividing line between India and Pakistan in the Kashmir region. In the disputed region of Kashmir, which has been the scene of three major wars, the river was eventually ruled to be the demarcation line between India and Pakistan under their de facto control.
Continue north for more than 100 kilometres along the Jehrum River to Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
This city is the northernmost city of the Indian subcontinent with a population of more than half a million, and it is also the largest city that Tang could call a "city" before entering the Himalayas this time. Because after this city, the town that you will encounter in the future. At best, it can only be described as a town, so the city is still bustling despite being close to the India-Pakistan ceasefire line.
The Jehelum River from the city to the north, it becomes the Neelum River, which is actually the upper reaches of the Jehrum River, and the whole journey is in the lofty mountains of the Himalayas, and it is also a section of road that Tang Feng and his group of five must pass through.
In fact, in Muzaffarabad, the atmosphere here is still quite tense, and you can see soldiers with loaded guns everywhere. After all, as a disputed land for nearly 70 years, Kashmir is an out-and-out fuse, and as the capital of Pakistan-administered Kashmir, Muzaffarabad is a top priority.
When it comes to it, the Kashmir problem is far more serious than the problems of the small countries in the Middle East. Those countries in the Middle East who dig for oil don't look at you today if you hit me, tomorrow I will fight yours, but it is not good, compared with the Kashmir issue. The mess in the Middle East is like a child's play.
At best, the countries in the Middle East would have invaded with tanks, or bombed each other with artillery, surface-to-surface missiles, and airplanes. This is already the limit of those countries in the Middle East fighting each other, and the Palestinian Nagada is the happiest, but in fact it is just my rocket artillery sneaking up on your place of residence today, and tomorrow you retaliate against me with missiles.
But in Kashmir, because of the control of this region, even the "Big Five. "China, the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France. Because he has a mushroom bomb, he is not allowed to have it by others, although it is the right behavior, but in terms of feelings, it is a bit flowy. Hooliganism) and the other two major nuclear weapons possessors. Look at how tall India and Pakistan are. Because a small area of Kashmir was built without a sound, the atomic bomb was built quietly. In contrast, what are those countries in the Middle East that are not playing tricks?
After Pakistan declared its independence on August 14, 1947, India and Pakistan began to fight over the ownership of Kashmir, and in 1948, 1965 and 1971, Pakistan fought three Indo-Pakistani wars with India. The Third Indo-Pakistani War was an eternal pain in the hearts of Pakistanis, as it directly led to the independence of East Pakistan as Bangladesh. Although in July 1972, the two sides signed the Simla Agreement, a ceasefire was achieved, and there were many talks between the two sides, but no agreement was reached.
Later, since 1989, the India-Pakistan border, which has been in constant conflict, has been rekindled, and in the Kashmir region, there have been continuous exchanges of fire. And the scale is further expanding. In 1998, the two sides finally opened up with a frank relationship, and India and Pakistan successively released "big balloons" or planted "big mushrooms", and in May of that year alone, Pakistan conducted a number of underground nuclear tests.
The world was stunned, and the two countries became nuclear powers in this way, and these two countries were "five streams. "Countries that have been kept out of the threshold of the 'nuclear club' have been in conflict one after another.
The world has reason to believe that the leaders of these two countries can behave irrationally at any time. Don't get it to the end, the world is not finished because of the Cold War confrontation between the two superpowers, the Soviet Union and the United States, but is planted in the hands of two South Asian countries, which is really unjust.
This shows how ferocious the Kashmir region is. The bag of explosives is so ferocious that it could even cause the destruction of humanity.
However, although India and Pakistan still have more than 27 divisions deployed in this small disputed area, the last two years of gaffes have generally been peaceful, unlike in the past, when you can hear the sound of artillery attacks between the two sides from time to time.
Now Muzaffarabad is quite peaceful, and Tang Feng and his group of five are all American citizens, plus Hansen They have been on the battlefield in Afghanistan for several years, so they naturally know how to deal with this situation.
After Muzafarabad had replenished the supplies, the five men drove two GL65s along the Neelham Path, a small road on the west bank of the Nielm River, into the vast Himalayan mountains. (To be continued......)
