When Ding Zhennan arrived with several principal staff officers, the special plane for military dignitaries was already ready to take off, and Shi Zhiliang and others had already boarded the plane.

After Ding Zhennan and they went up, the special plane immediately closed the hatch and slid onto the runway.

At the beginning, Shi Zhiliang approved Ding Zhennan's request, and Major General Lu Liaoyuan concurrently served as the acting commander of the Poshawan coalition forces, and Ding Zhennan went to the southern subcontinent to serve as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces in that direction.

Formal appointments can only be made after the approval of the first assistant.

As expected, General Ding Zhennan sat in the position of "Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Coalition Army".

This so-called "commander-in-chief" is mainly responsible for joint combat operations with Pakistan Railway.

In peacetime, the "Southern Coalition Army" is only a shelf body, and there is only a chief of staff, usually held by a major general of the Pakistani Railway. It was only in wartime that the Southern Coalition Army Group was formally formed, and the generals of the Imperial Army served as commander-in-chief.

After the third military reform, the Southern coalition army group was expanded to the entire southern subcontinent and was responsible for combat operations in this direction.

The implication is that the navy and air force fighting in the southern subcontinent are under the command of the group army headquarters and must at least actively cooperate.

It can be seen that this "commander" is not simple.

Shi Zhiliang did this, not to overstep his bounds, but to make a decision immediately!

The reason is simple: Tigara is not dead.

On the morning of the 4th local time, Tigara delivered a war speech at the National Assembly, and judging from his complexion, he was not injured at all!

Here he officially declared war on Pakistan and the Railways.

The reason for this was that the assassination of him was planned by the Pakistani Railways intelligence agency.

There is no doubt that the assassination of the leader of the country is an absolute act of war.

Although the National Assembly is still debating, it will not vote on the war bill proposed by Tigara until the afternoon local time at the earliest, the key is whether to declare war on the Liangxia Empire at the same time, but according to the information provided by the Military Intelligence Agency, unless it can be proved that the assassination of Tigara has nothing to do with Pakistan and Rail, then in the next vote, the National Assembly will pass 100% of the war bill he proposed.

Because Pakistan is an ally of the Empire, when Pakistan declares war on Van Luo, the Empire will declare war on Van Luo at the same time according to the alliance treaty.

According to de jure, the relationship between the empire and the Van Luo Kingdom will directly enter a state of war, and there will be no need to declare war at all.

It's a conspiracy!

When receiving the news, Ding Zhennan immediately thought that the assassination of Tigara was actually a bitter ploy, or whether he wrote, directed and acted by himself.

Otherwise, it would never have been possible to survive such a violent explosion unscathed.

If I want to say it, I am afraid that he was his stand-in in the car at the time.

To prove this judgment, Ding Zhennan also questioned intelligence officials.

Before that, because he had to command the battle on the side of Poshawan, Ding Zhennan didn't care much about the affairs of Van Luoguo, at least he didn't take the initiative to ask.

The intelligence provided by the Military Intelligence Agency confirmed his fears.

After the "assassination" of Tigara, the capital garrison quickly took control of the scene, and subsequently took control of almost all opposition politicians under the pretext of capturing the assassins. In just a few days, the young Zhuang officers loyal to Tigara not only took control of the situation, but also purged most of the senior generals who disagreed with Tigara. Those who were not purged also handed over military power and withdrew from the inner circle of power.

Obviously, if Tigara had died, it would have been the young Zhuang officers who had been purged who had been loyal to him.

It was precisely because of this that Ding Zhennan immediately called Shi Zhiliang, and after explaining the situation, he proposed to go to Pakistan Railway immediately and take charge of the combat operations there.

Shi Zhiliang did not delay and immediately arranged a special plane.

What Ding Zhennan didn't expect was that Shi Zhiliang would leave Shawudi with him.

However, Shi Zhuliang did not go to Batie, but returned to the imperial capital to meet Shoufu.

After the plane took off, Ding Zhennan roughly analyzed the current situation.

The conclusion is obvious, the Van Luo Kingdom did not declare war, and invested almost all the troops in one go, in order to force the Liang Xia Empire to send troops.

To put it simply, open a third front.

Although the Pakistani Iron Army showed great courage, not only did it not lose after the war, but instead seized the initiative, which made the Van Luo Air Force taste defeat, but looking at the overall strategy, Pakistan and the Iron Army could not rely on their own strength to turn defeat into victory, and even could not withstand the repeated attacks of the Van Luo army.

That's a front of more than 1,000 kilometers!

Even on this front, there are only three main battlefields in total, the northern battlefield around Ipo, the central battlefield mainly on the east bank of the Sutlej River, and the southern battlefield with troops directly facing Karachi, but such a wide front is enough to make the Pakistani army unbearable.

Shortly after the plane took off, the staff officer delivered the latest battle report.

Van Roe's army has made a breakthrough in the eastern part of Sindh, crushing the defenders of Koklobar and is advancing west along the railway line.

It is expected that there will be an encounter with the outlying forces of the 24th Mechanized Infantry Division during the night.

That's not a good thing.

In order to reduce defense spending and concentrate limited financial resources on industrialization, after formally joining the Eastern Bloc, Pakistan handed over the defense of the southern region to its allies, that is, the Liangxia Empire. For more than 20 years, the number one task of the 24th Infantry Division has been to hold Karachi.

Pakistan is the only one with this large deep-water port!

Of course, the empire also needed this port.

It is precisely in this way that the Pakistani Railway Army has been able to reduce its standing strength to 600,000 and deploy its main armored forces in the central and northern regions.

This arrangement is also related to the geographical environment of Pakistan Railway.

Isolated by the Thar Desert, the southern region with Karachi as the core is not very closely related to the central region.

Because there is only one railway, and the road capacity is mediocre, it is difficult for armored forces to maneuver back and forth between the two areas.

All in all, the main force guarding Karachi was the 24th Mechanized Infantry Division.

The question now is that there is a good chance that the Van Rowe Army will focus on the south.

Not only to defeat Karachi, but also to defeat the 24th Mechanized Infantry Division, or to put pressure on the Liangxia Empire by dealing with the 24th Mechanized Infantry Division.

In fact, just storming Karachi was enough for the Liangxia Empire to send troops to the war.

Although after Zhou Yongtao served as the first assistant of the empire, the empire increased its investment in Pakistan Railway, including using a lot of resources to expand the Gwadar port, but in just a few years, even if the Gwadar port has the ability to support the fleet's operations, it is not of much value.

The point is, without a railway to Gwadar Port, the only ground transportation is a desert road.

The main thing is Karachi.

It can be seen that as long as the Van Luo Kingdom invests heavy troops in this direction, the empire must send troops and transport the main force over as quickly as possible.

Faster than sea freight, there is only strategic air freight.

There's a lot of issues involved.

First of all, should you focus on strengthening the 24th Mechanized Infantry Division?

Although there are three combat brigades in Karachi, these three brigades belong to the Western Theater of Operations, and according to the plan, they are to be reinforced by the 17th Armored Division, while the 24th Mechanized Infantry Division belongs to the Southern Theater.

Then, it is necessary to consider sending the 17th Panzer Division to Pakistan.

If there are enough transport planes, especially the "Y-10A" strategic transport planes, it will theoretically only take one week to send all the officers and men and equipment of the 17th Panzer Division to the vicinity of Karachi, and then it will take two to three days to get the combat units into the state.

It is a pity that the Imperial Air Force simply did not have enough strategic transport aircraft.

At present, almost all the "Y-10A" are performing tasks on the mainland battlefield, and they are very important tasks, and there is no way to separate them.

In addition, even if there are enough strategic transport aircraft, it is equivalent to reducing the investment of troops in Posha Bay.

From this point of view, the Van Luo Kingdom entered the war at this time to save Iraq, which was about to be defeated.

Looking at the long term, it is also to cheer up the Boi country, so that the Boi country can send troops to participate in the war as soon as possible, so as to turn defeat into victory in the direction of Posha Bay.

So, is that really the case?

Ding Zhennan did not completely agree with this analysis made by Shi Zhiliang.

The first is, will Iraq be spared defeat because of the entry of the Van Luo state into the war?

The answer is clearly no.

Even if the 17th Panzer Division is sent to Pakistan immediately, if the 7th Panzer Division has completed its expansion and can continue to expand into a field army, the Hussein regime will be able to survive for a longer period of time, as long as a month, or even a week.

In addition, whether Iraq is defeated or not will have a negligible impact on the war.

There is no doubt that no matter which aspect is considered, the participation of the Van Luo country in the war has nothing to do with Iraq.

As for cheering up the country of Boi, it is even more unreliable.

It is no secret that the Boi authorities are vacillating, and the Bosa Bay area is full of coalition forces, including the 7th Panzer Division, which is about to be expanded into a field army, and the 14th Mechanized Infantry Division in the Western Theater, so the Bosa leaders may not have the courage to enter the war at this time.

Taking a step back, even if Poland and Iran enter the war, it will not necessarily face Iraq, and it is more likely to deal with Pakistan and the railway.

To put it simply, it is to attack Pakistan from the west.

If this is the case, it is not only the Van Luo Kingdom that has not declared war in the early hours of this morning!

If you really want to convince the leaders of the Boi country, then whether it is the Nuland Republic in the center or the Van Luo country, the Boi country will be dealt with first.

In other words, the Van Luo Kingdom and the Poi-I Congress went to war against Pakistan at the same time.

Since the Boi did not attack at the first time and did not declare war on Pakistan, it is unlikely that they would enter the war before the decisive victory of the Van Luo Kingdom.

In this way, the undeclared war of the Van Luo Kingdom has nothing to do with instigating the Boi Kingdom to participate in the war.

In addition, the country of Boi and the country of Van Luo have never dealt with each other.

Before the official alliance between the Van Luo Kingdom and the Nuland Republic, the Boi State was the number one ally of the Nuland Republic, and the relationship between the two countries can be said to be like glue. After the establishment of the Van Luo State, the Nuland Republic gradually alienated the Boi State, or rather, lowered the importance of the Boi State. A lot of the aid that should have been provided to the Boi country fell into the hands of the Van Luo country, and the modernization process of the Boi country was greatly affected.

So, why did the kingdom of Brahma go to war without declaring it?

Since Tigara is not dead, he should not have waged war in such a despicable way that would make his opponents feel the same hatred for the enemy without a special reason.

Historically, none of the countries that went to war without a declaration of war ended well.

If the participation of the Van Luo Kingdom in the war has nothing to do with the war on this side of Posha Bay, is it related to the war on the mainland?

Obviously, this speculation also does not stand up to scrutiny.

Although after independence, the Van Luo Kingdom relied on the identity of the former colony of the Bran Kingdom, and was left and right between the two major groups in the West, the most representative thing is that as long as money is not a problem, the Van Luo Kingdom can buy any weapons and equipment they want from these two groups, and it is rarely troubled, but fundamentally speaking, the Van Luo Kingdom still mainly relies on the Beigu Group, and the relationship with the Xilu Group is not close.

This is especially true when it comes to economic exchanges.

The Nuland Republic has always been the number one trading partner of the Van Luo Kingdom, and the trade volume between the Manman Empire and the Van Luo Kingdom is not even comparable to that of the Liang Xia Empire.

As for geopolitics, even if there are some powerful relationships, they are not close.

To put it bluntly, because it is separated from the next door by the Pamew Plateau and the desert in the hinterland of the world island, no matter what the outcome of the continental war is, the impact on the Van Luo Kingdom is minimal, and even if the Western Continent Group is defeated, the Van Luo Kingdom may not be adversely affected.

The one who can save the Empire is actually and can only be the Republic of Nuland.

The Republic of Nuland has not said anything, so what is the urgency of the Van Luo Kingdom?

Even if the Van Luo Kingdom can mobilize tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of fighters, it will not be able to cross the Pamew Mountains, let alone rush to the aid of the Western Continent Group.

"Anyway, Van Luo has to rely on the Nuland Republic, so we don't need to think so much, just keep an eye on the Nuland Republic......"

"The Republic of Nuland?" Before Shi Zhiliang finished speaking, Ding Zhennan suddenly came out.

Shi Zhiliang nodded, originally planned to answer, but after noticing Ding Zhennan's serious expression, he immediately knew that he was talking to himself.

When Ding Zhennan was thinking about problems, he had a habit of unconsciously locking his brows.

People who don't know him will think that he has a bitter grudge against anyone.

"We got the cause and effect wrong," Ding Zhennan raised his head before noticing Shi Zhiliang staring at him, "What Van Luo Guo did has something to do with the Nuland Republic, but it is not a show of loyalty to the Nuland Republic. If so, there would be no need for Tigara to play a bitter trick. ”

"Why is that?"

"The Fourth Guia Fleet, is Bai Huawei in command?"

Shi Zhiliang was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and understood what Ding Zhennan meant.

Van Luo suddenly launched a surprise attack on Pakistan and Railway, and it was an undeclared war, which was to cover for the Nuland Republic and create a sneak attack opportunity for the Nuland Navy.

As long as the empire focuses on the southern subcontinent, it will inevitably ignore other directions.

"He shouldn't have any problems over there, right?" Shi Zhiliang was obviously not very sure, or a little worried.

Faced with Shi Zhiliang's question, Ding Zhen didn't know how to answer at that moment.

Both of them were army generals, and even if Ding Zhennan was a rare all-rounder, he did not dare to make conclusions about the naval fleet operations.

What's more, the Nuland Republic has not yet entered the war.

However, Ding Zhennan was also using Shi Zhiliang to remind Bai Huawei, who was far away on the other side of the world, that is, Shi Zhiliang came forward to send a warning to the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff, reminding the Guia that there might be drastic changes and prepare for a sudden attack as soon as possible.

The most important thing is to let Task Force 41 leave the port, and not stay in the Treasure Harbor waiting to be bombed.

The fleet is the key, as long as the fleet is there, there is still hope!
