Chapter 554: Pakistan Sends Troops
The best option is to turn to Pakistan, which has more force than India and is an old enemy. But now, licking your face and going to Pakistan again? Go to the president who is not yet thirty years old? Where to put the old face of fifty-year-old Elshad?
However, after receiving Huaxia's reply, Elshad sat down in his chair all of a sudden, and his face instantly turned very pale.
Huaxia had no reason to send troops.
It doesn't have a border with China at all, and if China wants to send troops, it has to cross one of Sikkim, Bhutan, or Nepal, and then it has to cross a narrow stretch of territory in India to reach Bangladesh.
Although China's influence in East Asia and South Asia has become more and more great, China's main focus now is to develop its economy, and it is impossible for the righteous act of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea to happen a second time.
"We don't want Huaxia to send troops to directly help us fight against India, Huaxia only needs to support us with some weapons, and then create some incidents on the border between China and India to contain India's troops, just like in the past when India and Pakistan were in the war." Elshad said, "Isn't it possible that we can't meet this request? ”
In the past when there was a war between India and Pakistan, China did this.
"Between nations, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests." "Pakistan can threaten India, and we, with India, are not a threat at all, and China has no need to risk war for us," Ranard said. ”
"So what are we going to do?" Lanard said. India's forwards are already approaching Tangail, which is the gateway to Dhaka, and if Tangail is lost, the Indians will drive straight to Dhaka.
"We have no other choice." "President," Ranard said. Now, Pakistan is the only one who can help us. Even the Chinese side is hinting that we are asking for help from Pakistan, and the Chinese side can provide some rear support, for example. Pakistani warplanes are allowed to fly over China's airspace, and even air bases can be opened. ”
Only Pakistan left! Elshad said with a somewhat hollow look in his eyes: "We invite Pakistan to send troops, what conditions will Pakistan propose?" Will it make us a province of Pakistan again? ”
If the other side does not negotiate the conditions, it will be impossible, and the worst plan is that the other side will demand that Bangladesh be reincorporated into Pakistan. Can you say yes? If you say yes, you will become a sinner in Bangladesh!
"Let's test it first, see what conditions Pakistan has, if the conditions are too harsh, then we will rely on ourselves and meet the Indian army in Dhaka!" Elshad's words, no matter what, also seem to have no confidence.
Bangladesh is a populous country. But it is not an economic powerhouse, and Bangladesh simply cannot withstand the toss of war. But now, they also have no choice, if Pakistan asks too much, then let the Indians come in, and Ershad resisted, and he did his duty. Whether Bangladesh will be considered a state of India or a province of Pakistan in the future has nothing to do with him, at that time. He may not be there anymore.
At the behest of Al Shad, the Consul General of the Bangladeshi Consulate in Pakistan hurried to the presidential palace in the hope of meeting the President of Pakistan.
Due to the historical ties between the two countries, after the end of the Third Indo-Pakistani War, the two countries did not interact with each other for a long time. It was only in the eighties that the two sides opened consulates in each other's countries, and it was impossible to establish a relationship at a higher level of ambassadorial.
Moreover, the diplomatic relations between the two countries have always been at a low point, and even this consulate is deserted, dealing with some non-governmental affairs, as for meeting the President of Pakistan, even Consul General Aziz, it is the first time.
When he told the guards what he meant, he thought he would be left aside by the Pakistani government, but after the guards informed him, he was immediately received.
The hallway was crowded with people coming and going, and there was a special atmosphere before the war, and Aziz, guided by a secretary, came to an office on the second floor.
Pushing open the hidden door, a man sitting at a table raised his head, and at the first sight of him, he would feel the youthfulness of this person, no matter in any country, there is hardly such a young president, but his eyes are extremely deep, revealing maturity and wisdom that does not match his age.
This president is more like a businessman, no matter what he does, he likes to measure it by interests! This is how the West says about him.
Suddenly, Aziz was not so optimistic about the purpose of his visit this time, what conditions would the other party propose? Bangladesh will almost certainly be called upon to rejoin Pakistan! And this demand is something that Bangladesh cannot agree, and Bangladesh would rather die than agree to such a request! This is President Elshad's bottom line.
"Hello, Mr. President, on behalf of the Government of Bangladesh, I have come to request your support." "We are now suffering from a brutal invasion by the Indian army," Aziz said. ”
"I know." "The Indian forward, having taken Tagher, where one of your infantry brigades has surrendered, but there has been a brief interruption in the logistics of the Indians, and they are now waiting for fuel supplies from the rear, and it is expected that they will have a rest tonight, and after dawn tomorrow, they will rush to Dhaka in one go," Mhammad said. ”
"Mr. President, we in Bangladesh are at a critical juncture, and we need your support very much." Aziz said.
"And how do you need our support?" Mhammad said, "We can't reach it." ”
With a helpless expression on his face, Mhammad was very proud in his heart, and the last problem was solved, and the Bengalis took the initiative to ask for help! Elshard's noble head was finally lowered! That guy, when East Pakistan was divided, he also had a share, but now, it is not the time to mention this, the past has passed, now we must focus on the future, and finally pull Bangladesh into the warm family of Pakistan.
"We hope that you can launch a military operation in western India and threaten Islamabad, the capital of the Indians, so that the Indians should come back and can relieve us." Aziz said.
Siege Wei to save Zhao! Elshad could have come up with such an idea! Mhammad shook his head: "No, if you ask us for help two days in advance, it may be possible for us to send troops, but now, even if we send troops immediately, it will be too late." We can't hit New Delhi, at most by the time we get to Ludhiana, the Indian armored forces have already occupied Dhaka. ”
The distance from Pakistan to New Delhi is very far, while the armored forces of the Indians are very close to Dhaka.
Mhammad's words are very certain, he has come from the war and has a lot of combat experience, since he said no, then it must not work.
"So what are we going to do?" "Once the Indians capture our capital, then..."
That is the death of the country, Mhammad automatically added this answer to him in his heart, in fact, these East Bengalis are already scared stupid, why can't they see that now the main armored force of the Indians has crossed the Jamuna River, but the logistics troops have not followed? At this time, blowing up the bridge can trap the Indian armored troops in eastern Bengal.
Bangladesh's military strength is almost inferior to that of a weak African country, they have never fought any war at all, and they did not play a role in the third Indo-Pakistani war that year, mainly fought by the Pakistani army and the Indian army.
"It was simple to crush the armored forces of the Indians." "First of all, we must obtain air supremacy for Bangladesh!" If you can give Chittagong to us, we can station troops there, take off warplanes, as long as there are our Pakistani eagles in the sky over Bangladesh, the Indian armored forces, it will be paper. ”
The original plan was to land at Chittagong, but now the battle plan has changed, and the stable rear is still Chittagong.
Chittagong is the largest port city and the second most populous city in Bangladesh, 16 km from the mouth of the Hida Gonda Hilly Ridge on the northeastern shore of the Bay of Bengal, on the right bank of the lower Gornopuri River. It is a natural harbour, Chittagong has been a harbour since ancient times, and it was originally just a fishing village. The Arakanese, Arabs, Persians and Portuguese came to trade here. Since the 9th century, the Arabs have been trading with Chittagong. The city has a long history, Bangladesh's declaration of independence was proclaimed in Chittagong, and now, it is the main industrial base of Bangladesh, an agricultural country, where cotton spinning, hemp spinning, tea processing, oil refining, steel, papermaking, man-made fiber, glass, fertilizer and hydropower stations are set up.
At the same time, Chittagong also has a Zarul-Haq airbase, where the main force of the Bangladeshi Air Force is stationed. Those old J-6 and A-5 are simply not capable of taking off for combat.
If Pakistan's air force is stationed there, there is no need to fly long distances to fight, and it can take off at any time to meet the enemy, no more, a squadron of Tomcat fighters and a squadron of F-16 fighters are enough to suppress the Indian Air Force.
"In order to prevent subsequent provocations by the Indians, we hope that after the war is over, Bangladesh can keep Chittagong available to us." Mhammad continued. (To be continued......)
