Chapter 127: Kashmir
"Your Excellency, what's going on?"
On a Humvee military vehicle that he carried, Yang Feng looked out the window at a large number of Pakistanis who seemed to be very angry and said.
"The Tianzhu cultists in Kashmir are killing Muslims, and these young people are asking us to send troops to save their compatriots."
Ali sitting next to him. Khan said that he was the first prime minister of Pakistan and was not well known in later generations because he was assassinated in 51, but he was actually the most important founder of Pakistan, Jinnah's closest comrade-in-arms, and his political heir.
Because the constitution of Pakistan has not yet been formulated, it is still considered a dominion within the framework of the British Commonwealth, similar to Canada or Australia, the legal head of state is still the governor-general, Jinnah is the first governor of Pakistan, and the governor of Tianzhu is still temporarily held by Mountbatten, but the power is handed over to Prime Minister Nehru.
In fact, in the first years of separation, the relationship between the two countries and Britain was still very special, not only did the civilian system have a large number of British, but even the main commanders of the army were British, and the command of the air force did not gradually pass into the hands of their respective countries until the early fifties.
"It's outrageous, these Tianzhu disciples are becoming more and more disagreeable, some time ago they killed Assamese, and now they are killing Muslims, is there no justice and justice in their eyes? We must not allow them to continue to run rampant like this, and if your country sends troops to Kashmir to save its compatriots, I am willing to give away a division of arms! β
Yang Feng said indignantly.
"But what's going on in Kashmir? You know, I don't know much about the geography and history of the subcontinent. β
Then he added.
Ali. Khan suppressed the ecstasy of pie falling from the sky, and hurriedly explained to him: "Your Excellency, Kashmir is a princely state in our north, and the vast majority of its inhabitants are Muslims, so it should be included in Pakistan. Singh colluded and tried to expel all our compatriots by means of cunning, and then join Tianzhu, which we absolutely cannot allow. β
"Yes, this is absolutely not good, whoever is whomever belongs to whom, how can the land of Pakistan be robbed by the Tianzhu people, I will help with this favor, I will have someone send you 10,000 Garand rifles when I go back, but your country also has to do me a favor."
Yang Feng said.
"FΓΌhrer, please."
Ali. Khan said hurriedly.
Of course, he knew that Yang Feng could not give them arms for nothing, but this batch of arms was too precious, as long as it was not too excessive, Pakistan had no reason to refuse, and now their army lacked arms the most. According to the partition plan, Pakistan should have shared 170,000 tons of materials and equipment for the former Tianzhu royal army, but the Tianzhu people only sent them 5,000 pairs of shoes, 5,000 scrapped rifles, a batch of nurses' overalls and shelters.
"It's nothing special, I just want to build an airport in Karachi, and you know that my planes fly a lot to and from Europe, and it's a place where they have to refuel on their way."
Yang Feng said.
"That's no problem, if you want, we can directly sell the management rights of Karachi Airport to Daming Empire Airlines, you can expand it."
Ali. Khan said with a smile, this is really not worth mentioning, originally the Ming Imperial Aviation is the main user of this airport, and even Pakistanis are used to taking those large constellations when they go to Europe or Southeast Asia, and they are just a favor for Yang Feng.
Yang Feng nodded with satisfaction.
Little did he know that the Pakistani government was far less innocent than they said it would be when it came to Kashmir.
The official name of the place should be Jammu and Kashmir, originally a Turkish state of British Tianzhu, ruled by a feudal lord who was subordinate to the king of Britain. Singh. Although his 5 million citizens were Muslims, he himself was a Tianzhu follower, and in this chaotic division, he actually wanted to stand up, but later he was somewhat self-aware, and finally chose to fall to Tianzhu.
As for the vendetta against the Muslims, it has nothing to do with him, the whole Northern Tianzhu is killing each other everywhere, Lord Mountbatten's huge army can't control it, just his little guard mercenary has a fart, he likes to kill as much as he wants, and he can't kill him in the royal palace in Srinagar.
Just as Yang Feng and Jinnah were shaking hands sincerely at the Governor's House in Karachi, in the basement of an adobe house in the old city of Peshawar, a group of old men with bandanas and white beards were smoking hookahs and drinking tea, listening to a Pakistani military major in the middle describe the brutal persecution of the Muslim brothers in Kashmir.
These people come from an important tribe in northern Pakistan.
Tampa Tribe.
Muslims, rugged, savage, and belligerent, and, more importantly, they do not like their Muslim brethren in Karachi, on the contrary, they have a good relationship with the neighboring king of Afghanistan.
"St. Zhan! We need a holy zhan, and we want to let the filthy Tianzhu people know that the majesty of Allah is inviolable, the people of Allah are not harmed, and the glory of Allah is not defiled! β
As the major spoke of Gao Chao, a tribal elder yelled as he viciously smashed his teacup.
"Honorable Elder, the army of Karachi is your strongest backing, you can do it without worrying about the intervention of the Tianzhu people, if they dare to send troops to help Harry. Singh, Governor Jinnah will also order the army to fight, and your enemy is only Harry. Singh's guards, I think those cowardly Tianzhu people, must be vulnerable to the Tampa fighters. β
The major said solemnly.
The elder nodded with satisfaction, and shouted at the tribal leaders around him, "Go back, call all our men out, it's time to hunt." β
The tribal leaders immediately got up one after another, and couldn't wait to gather the tribal warriors, and looking at their backs, the elders smiled happily, like an old farmer watching a good harvest.
Of course, they are not here to save some Muslim brothers, how can they be so stupid these days, what is the life and death of Muslims in Kashmir to the people of Tampa? It's just a loot under the guise of St. Zhan, Harry. Singh's royal palace is like a treasure trove, opening its doors to them!
And the major beside him, laughing equally happily, for Karachi, the Tampas are no less good thing, using the sacking of Kashmir as bait to lure them to and Harry. Singh and even the Tianzhu people are desperate, no matter what the final result is, it is a harvest for Karachi, what is this called?
It's called killing two birds with one stone.
It's called politics.
