This is a return visit to the Pakistan Navy to China.

The traditional friendship between China and Pakistan was formed in the 60s of the last century, tested by war, and cemented with blood.

Before the withdrawal of the colonists from the Indian subcontinent, the colonizers of country Y divided their control into two countries, India and Bagistan, according to their religious beliefs.

Among them, most of the regions that believe in Hinduism, the founding of the country, called India, the capital of Deri. The area where Islam is profess and the country that was founded is called Badistan and its capital is Islamabad.

Kashmir, located between India and Badkistan, originally planned to join Badgystan, but the upper echelons of Kashmir were co-opted by India and announced their accession to India.

Of course, Bagistan does not agree, how can you say that something good can be changed?

Thus, a war broke out between the two countries for the battle for Kashmir, and as a result, each actually controlled a part of it and had to cease fighting.

Later, India used its means to dismember Bagistan, split the eastern part of Bagistan, and established a new state called the Monjala State.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend". Because India went to war with China in the early sixties and was defeated, the two countries also became mortal enemies.

The common enemy and the common situation have brought China and Pakistan together to jointly oppose India's hegemonism, support each other, and form a fighting friendship.

The coastline of Bagistan is about 700 kilometers long, and there are two important military ports: the port of Kolachi and the port of Gudar.

Koraci is on the east coast, near the Indian side. Gudal is on the west coast, near the Iranian side of the Middle Eastern power.

Originally a small fishing village in the Makolan region of Balochio province in western Bagistan, Gudar was then a small and obscure wharf on the coast of the Arabian Sea. Due to its remoteness from the interior, inaccessibility, and barren land, the fishermen in the area still live in a very poor life, no different from the Middle Ages.

It is about 460 kilometers from Kolachi in the east, about 120 kilometers from the Bagistan-Iranian border in the west, and the Arabian Sea in the Indian Ocean in the south, at the mouth of the Strait of Hormuz.

The port is the third largest port in Badgystan and can be used as an entrepot trade for East Asian countries and an outlet for landlocked countries in Central Asia.

It is located near the choke point of the strategically important Persian Gulf, and is close to the throat of several important maritime routes from Africa and Europe through the Red Sea, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Persian Gulf to East Asia and the Pacific.

Bagistan recognized its strategic importance when it bought back Gudal from Oman in 1958. In particular, Gudal has received attention as the only candidate to replace Kolachi, the largest port city in Baggystan.

Due to its proximity to the Indian border, Koraci is vulnerable to an Indian naval blockade in the event of an emergency. Therefore, it is necessary to decentralize the logistics of Bagistan in one place.

But for the government of Bagistan, which was not strong enough at the time, the development of Gudar was too large a project. Moreover, Gudal belonged to the Baluchistan region where the independence movement was carried out, so it was difficult to control.

In the sixties of the last century, Bajistan decided to build Gudar into a port. However, it was not until six years ago that China agreed to participate in the construction and development of the deep-water port, that the project entered the implementation phase.

Six years ago, after the new president of Badistan took office, he decided to embark on the Magudar deep-water port project and asked the Chinese government to help build it. He paid a goodwill visit to China the following year, and the two countries reached broad consensus on a range of issues.

China made the decision to aid the construction four years ago. In August of that year, the Chinese and Pakistani governments signed a financing agreement for the first phase of the Gudar Port project in Beijing, China. The project has been hailed as a new milestone in the friendship between China and Pakistan.

Three years ago, the then Vice Premier of the State Council of China and the President of Badgystan jointly presided over the groundbreaking ceremony of the first phase of the China-aided Bagudar Port Project, which was a historic day for Balochistan and the whole of Baggystan.

After China's accession, the Gudar development project began to be fully promoted. At that time, the president of Bagistan agreed to build a deep-sea port in Gudar with the help of China, where large ships could berth. China has invested US$200 million and the first phase of the project is nearing completion. Subsequently, China began to build its own naval base here.

Exactly three years have passed, and today, as the Chinese Navy ship formation is about to make an official visit to Baggystan, this milestone of China-Pakistan friendship stands majestically on the coast of the Arabian Sea.

In fact, Yang Wenbin believes that China's establishment of ports on the Arabian Sea coast can effectively avoid the politically unstable Persian Gulf region. Traditionally, the Persian Gulf is the sphere of influence of country M and does not relax its high vigilance there. China's abandonment of the Persian Gulf is also to circumvent the danger of a conflict of interests with country M.

In order to obtain a stable energy supply, China has made great efforts to Gudar. Under the overwhelming influence of country M, the western Pacific and the South China Sea are at risk of being blocked in the event of an emergency, and the Strait of Malacca, the main shipping route, is notorious for piracy. As a result, China is trying to secure the supply of resources through the oil pipeline connecting Gudar to China's Xinjiang and better control the Indian Ocean through the Gudar military port.

After the completion of Gudar Port, it will not only drive the economic development of the poor and backward Balochistan Province and even the whole of Baggystan, but also become the nearest outlet to the sea for Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and other landlocked countries in Central Asia, and undertake the shipping tasks of these countries connecting Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Iran and Iraq, and even the western provinces such as Xinjiang in China, and become a maritime transit station for regional transshipment, warehousing and transportation.

It is believed that in the near future, the port of Gudar will be born as a modern coastal city, with an airport and flights connected to the rest of the world, and will no longer be isolated from the world.

In short, as far as China is concerned, the construction of the Gudar port will break the blockade of country M, build another energy channel for China, and continuously deliver black oil blood to China's economic development.

Now the first phase of the Gudar port project is nearing completion, while the project of the naval base has already been completed.

The Chinese North Sea Fleet formation will be the first naval formation to enter port at the Gudar naval base.

----With a long roar, the naval formation slowly sailed into the port of Gudar after receiving permission to enter the port.

Unexpectedly, the commander of the Pakistani Navy actually led a team to greet him, which was of a high standard.

And all the crew members of the Chinese Navy fleet also wore regular clothes and lined up on the side of the ship to pay tribute to the Pakistani people who have formed friendship with blood!

Yang Wenbin also put on a sailor uniform, and in the team, he felt the friendship of the Pakistani people and paid tribute to the Pakistani greeting personnel.

The salute soldiers on the shore played a welcome song, and the cheerful atmosphere filled the sky, and the sailors who sailed for two days and two nights relaxed their tense mood.
