After a two-hour agreement signing and press conference, Hussein invited Li Lan to admire the beautiful and vibrant atmosphere of Islamabad at the beginning of spring.

Perched on top of the flowers, the South Garden Windward Pavilion is almost flush with the top floor of the Presidential Palace, with views of the magnificent Lake Laval, the rolling hills of Mount Margara to the north, and the towering Islamabad buildings to the east.

Sitting in the gazebo, Li Lan is very appreciative of Islamabad in early spring, while Hussein seems to be a little preoccupied.

The atmosphere was quiet from the beginning, and after the staff in the distance took a few photos, they left, and there were only the two of them in the entire South Garden.

Hussein's silence was expected by Li Lan, and by the time they finished their Q&A, the results of Obama's visit to India were already in front of their eyes. Like his visit to Pakistan, Obama's visit to India revealed many details of the talks.

Following his cooperation with Pakistan in the construction of shipbuilding bases, India also reached an agreement with the United States to donate aircraft carriers, and it also donated two aircraft carriers at once, one Kitty Hawk and the other Constellation.

The two diplomatic battles directly turned into a confrontational play, and it seemed to be angry, with a somewhat vindictive appearance.

Compared with Hussein, Li Lan was very calm, because since his visit to India was fruitless, he had been mentally prepared in this regard, and it was only a matter of time for India to agree to the Americans' request. The United States will continue to increase its bargaining chips to win over India in order to win greater strategic space.

This move has been planned by the Americans for too long. Successfully winning over India can be a good way to dismantle Russia's diplomacy, and it can also form a new strategic encirclement of China and Somalia at the same time. Even if the United States really directly gave an aircraft carrier battle group to India. As long as such a strategy can be achieved, the Americans will not lose money.

Indians can't resist temptation. No matter how the Indians consider the choice they make and accept the Americans' conditions, the camp is already doomed, because the Americans have always been indispensable in selling weapons. The United States and India, which have successfully reached an agreement on the gift of aircraft carriers, the revision of the contract for the purchase and training of carrier-based aircraft, have nothing to say about their political position.

Therefore, Hussein has the current silence, India is already stronger than Pakistan. Whether it is in terms of national strength or military, it is overpowering Pakistan. Despite the fact that Pakistan has the world's seventh-largest army, India's forces are much larger, and like Russia, they are all focused on fighting in armored groups.

It has more than 3,500 tanks in active service, and at least a thousand more in stock, more than half of which are T-72s, a small number of T-55s, and hundreds of T-90s. More than a dozen Thorn Arjun main battle tanks. More than 2,000 armored vehicles, tens of thousands of artillery pieces of various kinds. There are 1.1 million soldiers in the active army and 1.9 million in the second-line reserve and militia units.

On the Pakistani side, there are 520,000 active military personnel and 300,000 reserves. The total number of tanks of all kinds is almost two thousand, and more than sixty percent of the tanks are T-59s, and there are thousands of armored vehicles. There are no more than three or four thousand pieces of artillery.

If the army can rely on tactics to influence the tide of the war, Pakistan has the strength to fight India. But the navy is much worse, and this is the biggest headache for Pakistanis.

Originally, there was a huge disparity in naval strength. Now that India has two aircraft carriers of more than 80,000 tons, the gap in strength between Pakistan and India will be even farther.

Two aircraft carrier battle groups, with more than a hundred carrier-based aircraft, is a force that Pakistan can barely defend against.

Although India has obtained US aircraft carriers, the main target is Somalia, but Pakistan, which has always been at odds with India, is the most concerned country.

After being silent for a long time, Hussein looked up at Li Lan, who was looking at the city in the distance, and said: "India still made a choice, since the new government of India came to power, I have already thought about it, I know India too well. They will not really be obedient and will target Somalia in an all-round way, and according to India's potential, it will inevitably rise to become a real power in the next few decades. At this time, India's core strategy is to stay out of the matter, so India must find something to do for itself, in the face of China and Somalia, at the request of the Americans, India will set its sights on Pakistan, so that India has an excuse to deal with the Americans. If there are people in the world who want the United States to fall, India is one of them. ”

When Li Lan heard this, he nodded, and there was no need to inquire about the political conditions of the Americans, but they could be heard from the media and official statements of the United States and India. In his opinion, the Americans are playing loudly, but I am afraid that the truth will not be as the Americans expected.

The reason why he insisted on a temporary sovereign lease when he visited India was to prevent the Indians from taking money and not doing things, and he took into account the ideas of the Indians from that time.

The United States has succeeded in wooing India, but India is a neutral country that will never align, and this is definitely not a casual talk, let alone a national strategy that can be overthrown lightly. No matter how much benefit the United States gives, once the time comes, the Indians will absolutely hang up and watch the United States and its opponents stumble.

An opponent who can compete with the United States must also be something that the Indians cannot afford to provoke, so this method is the best choice for the Indians.

Of course, if you succeed in standing with the Americans, the Indians can also pull the tiger skin as a banner, and there are many benefits in the international community.

However, the Americans are not easy to deceive, behind Obama, there is a large group of aides to help him advise, and the twists and turns in the hearts of Indians are impossible for Americans to ignore. But it is precisely for this reason that Li Lan can understand Hussein's anxious mood now.

The easiest country to deal with on India's side is Pakistan, which has long had border problems, and Indians can find excuses to deliberately create trouble for themselves at a critical time to prevaricate the United States.

"Are you worried that when the time comes, the Indians will use Pakistan as a pawn and make a phenomenon that India has no time to take care of?" Li Lan asked.

"Hmm." Hussein nodded and continued: "I know the Indians very well, and I am afraid that it will not be a small trouble for Pakistan at that time, and with two aircraft carrier battle groups joining India, it is very likely that it will really start a war against Pakistan." Although Pakistan has nuclear weapons, they are not numerous and do not have a very effective means of delivery. This will make India have a lot less to worry about, and the addition of two aircraft carriers has made Indians self-confident that there is no shortage of high-ranking generals who want to annex Pakistan at the top of the Indian army. ”

"Don't worry, with the shipbuilding base, when the time comes, the strength of the Pakistani Navy will increase greatly, and you will have the strength to balance the Indian Navy." Li Lan said.

"Maybe I'm worried, but I have to guard against it." Hussein still can't let go, although Li Lan's words are very reasonable, but in his opinion, India will not see Pakistan grow to the point where it can compete with him.

Seeing Hussein's reaction, Li Lan's previous idea slowly became firm, and said: "If you are really worried, I will give the aircraft carrier Carlin to Pakistan in three years." ”

Hearing this, Hussein was shocked and stammered, "I didn't ...... Misheard it! Can you ...... again Say it again. ”

Hussein's reaction made Li Lan very satisfied, and he nodded firmly and said: "You heard it right, so you should send the future aircraft carrier soldiers to Somalia for training now." ”

"This ......" Hussein was so surprised that he was a little speechless, in his opinion, Li Lan's decision is simply incomprehensible, you must know that the reason why the United States gave the aircraft carrier to India is not only because the aircraft carrier has been decommissioned, but more importantly, the Americans also have ten aircraft carrier battle groups, so it is possible to send out the aircraft carrier that was rusty there.

However, although Somalia has four aircraft carrier battle groups and is also building a new class of aircraft carriers, there are only four aircraft carrier battle groups, and if one aircraft carrier is sent out, the strength of the navy will be much less at once, which really makes him unable to figure it out. Could it be that Soba's friendship has reached that point?

"There's no need for you to be surprised, I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I'm not joking with you." Li Lan emphasized a sentence and continued: "Of course, what is given away is only the aircraft carrier itself, and the carrier-based aircraft and other warships on it need to be purchased by you, and the money that needs to be spent may exceed 300 billion Pakistani rupees. ”

"Of course." Hussein nodded, he suppressed a question in his heart, and said: "If it is really to give us aircraft carriers, carrier-based aircraft and other supporting warships, I will persuade the whole country to buy all from Somalia." ”

Although Hussein knew very well that this was a huge expense for Pakistan, he did not hesitate at all, the Carlin, which is an aircraft carrier more powerful than the Kitty Hawk and the Constellation, and has only been in service for less than five years, is when the hardware of a warship is running in to its strongest combat effectiveness. And an 80,000-ton aircraft carrier, even if it is a rich country, can't buy it if you want to.

There is no leader of any country who is unwilling to make his country stronger, and 300 billion rupees is not impossible for Pakistan, Pakistan's annual fiscal revenue has exceeded 2 trillion rupees last year, and the annual growth rate is more than 20 percent, and in the next three years, 300 billion rupees in exchange for an aircraft carrier battle group, Hussein really has no reason to hesitate.

Even if he thought that the maintenance of the aircraft carrier would be a huge expense in the future, he also agreed very decisively, and Pakistan is worth fighting for in the future when the international situation changes. (To be continued......)
