Chapter 22

The elite troops sent by the U.S. military entered Kashmir in the name of the third brother's 'foreign aid'.

Kashmir is not a large region compared to China as a whole, but its strategic location is particularly important to China and it is one of the most dangerous areas in the world. Because the countries involved in the dispute, whether India or Pakistan, have nuclear weapons, not to mention China, which is "the third in the world". There is a contradiction between the three nuclear-armed countries, and there are shadows of some foreign powers behind them.

But what has puzzled international public opinion led by the West is how it has been so quiet in recent years since several India-Pakistani wars in such a dangerous area.

Not scientific, this is definitely not scientific!

According to the ideas of Europe and the United States, Kashmir should be like the Middle East, where war is raging everywhere, and it should become a paradise for mercenaries and another weapons testing ground on the earth, which is in line with their perception of "science"! This is the meaning of the existence of Kashmir, which has plunged Asia into endless internal strife.

However, in recent years, the calm and close exchanges between China, India and Pakistan have completely excluded the role of Kashmir, which the United States and Europe do not want to see.

A peaceful Kashmir is not a good Kashmir.

When the unidentified militants burst into Pakistani-administered Kashmir and crossed the Siachen Glacier at breakneck speed, their destination was clearly revealed in front of Yuan Ziwei – the Karakoram Corridor.

The Karakoram Corridor is another symbol of China-Pakistan friendship, and the Karakoram Highway, which is planned to be built in cooperation with China and Pakistan, is currently under intense construction. There are huge construction teams sent by China and Pakistan, as well as many logistics support personnel, as well as many experts in scientific research and technology in the construction industry.

If the personnel here are attacked, it will bring a heavy psychological blow to the entire engineering team, and it will be difficult to ensure the quality of construction under the panic of the people. Taking a step back, even the destruction of the geology along the highway will greatly increase the difficulty of construction, and even more serious than the consequences caused by a direct attack on the engineering team!

At present, the roads in the Karakoram Corridor are often repaired in the morning, but are washed away by mudslides and flash floods in the afternoon, and some tunnels are flooded in the rubble piles not long after they are opened. All this is caused by the special natural environment here, so this road is also known as the Heavenly Road, and it is also regarded by Pakistan as another symbol of China-Pakistan friendship, which is a friendship formed by blood condensation.

"So, which one is more likely to be the target, the engineering team or the highway route?"

Due to the suddenness of the incident, there was no definite news about this armed force, which brought great difficulty to Yuan Ziwei's judgment, and a misjudgment could lead to serious consequences.

[Judging from the information provided by the Pakistani military, the shells used by this small armed force are all remnants of American-style equipment, and the bullet casings on the ground also confirm this, and it is basically certain that the Yankees did it. Even the Yankees, the current Yankees need to maintain a semblance of face with China, because the current China is no longer the China of 30 years ago. 】

"If this is analyzed, the Chinese and Pakistani engineering teams will not be in danger, and the areas along the Karakoram Highway with fragile geological environments will be their targets."

Yuan Ziwei's analysis is based on the fact that both China and the United States are currently avoiding direct opening of the film by both sides, and need to maintain a superficial harmony, so it is judged that the US military will not directly target the construction team.

With the Chinese government's short-term nature, if there is a problem with the construction team on the China-Pakistan border, it is very likely that the Chinese government will directly send troops into Kashmir in the name of 'anti-terrorism', and even not only Kashmir, and it is possible to take this opportunity to send troops to the Qinghai-Tibet region. This is something that neither Indo, Europe, nor the United States want to see.

"Found it, it's here, Daban-Sunset Ridge!" Correspondent Lu Rongxi's shout attracted crowds of onlookers.

The China-Pakistan Karakoram Highway has now been built to the Daban area, which is known as Sunset Ridge by the Chinese side. Sunset Ridge Mountain is a terrain similar to the proverbial 'Jedi', and the geological environment here is harsh, and it is extremely prone to collapse and various accidents.

Since the construction of the engineering team in Sunset Ridge every day, they can only move forward slowly at the speed of the old cow uphill, and sometimes it happens that the whole day of work has advanced ten meters, and the result is that the mountain collapsed after the end of the evening, not to mention the waste of a day's work, and it has to start from the beginning from a place dozens of meters back.

It can be said that in Sunset Territory, you only need to find a few hills along the highway, bury some explosives or directly bombard the mountain, and the road under the mountain can be properly scrapped, which can greatly delay the construction time of this road.

The reason why it is not to say that the construction of this highway will be canceled is because the Chinese government has made a promise to the Pakistani government that this highway, which symbolizes the friendship between China and Pakistan, will definitely be completed. (Of course, in addition to the factor of friendship between China and Pakistan, the Chinese government also has strategic considerations.) ）

There is a saying: people cannot stand without faith, industry cannot prosper without faith, and the country will decline without faith. The Chinese government has always been a responsible major country to the outside world, that is, I will definitely fulfill the promises I make, and I will not just talk about it.

Furthermore, if you think about 1989, when Pakistan stood up and was the first to oppose the UN General Assembly's sanctions against China, which led to the US imperialism's suppression of Pakistan in all aspects of politics, economy, and military, and Pakistan's economy directly regressed for 20 years, what could China give Pakistan at that time?

To quote someone once said: If you love China, then please love Pakistan too.

The friendship between China and Pakistan cannot be stopped by a single heavenly road, and the title of China's 'infrastructure madness' is not for nothing, and nothing can stop the determination of the 'infrastructure madness'!

"Oops!"

Yuan Ziwei's heart sank, and it was surmised from the traces exposed by the other party in the past two days that at most one day they would be able to reach Sunset Ridge, and Yuan Ziwei and they would need a day and a half to arrive when they set off immediately.

According to the most optimistic estimates, there is a half-day time difference in between, which is enough time for the other party to do a lot of things.

"Captain, Second Lieutenant Latif said that as long as he is within the power of Pakistan, they are willing to help us." Deputy Yu Yunping brought a second lieutenant from Pakistan, and Second Lieutenant Latif showed Yuan Ziwei Pakistan's attitude towards this matter.

"I thank the Pakistani government for its commitment, but the other side is coming for us, and we can't afford to miss it."

It's not that Yuan Ziwei doesn't want Pakistan's help, but that Pakistan has really had a hard time these years, and he can't provide the help that Yuan Ziwei urgently needs, so it's better to refuse directly and generously.

"Sharp Eagle Squad, target Sunset Ridge, set off immediately!"
