Chapter 821: A Great Harvest by Hand
After leaving Barreli Air Base, India's largest air base, Lin Daxin's whole person was extremely excited, he didn't expect the Indians to be so generous, just this one place, let himself harvest 460 fighters, as well as 8 electronic attack aircraft, 4 early warning aircraft, 10 air tankers, 26 armed helicopters and 48 transport helicopters, as well as 3 large ammunition depots of missiles, aerial bombs and airborne ammunition.
With so many fighters, comparable to all the strength of a medium-sized air force, it seems that this trip to India is the right one, but this is only a good start, Lin Daxin is not ready to let India go like this, he will continue to knock the bone from the Indian Air Force to continue to enhance the strength of the Free Corps Air Force.
In particular, Lin Daxin was able to find that there were gaps in the fence and iron fence at the Barreli Air Base, so Lin Daxin believed that other bases of the Indian Air Force would not be managed too well, and he still had a good chance to continue to perform his skillful skills.
Lin Daxin then rushed non-stop to the Indian Air Force to arrange another air base on the Sino-Indian border, known as the Harwara Air Base by the Indians, the scale of this air base is second only to the Barreli Air Base that has been patronized by Lin Daxin, it can be regarded as the second largest air base of the Indian Air Force at present, and the main task of this Harwara Air Base is used by India to guard against China.
After the disappearance of hundreds of warplanes at Barreli Air Base, the entire Indian top brass was immediately furious, and Indian Prime Minister Giralki Seid immediately sent Indian Defense Minister Chandra Shekhar to the Prime Minister's Office urgently.
The Prime Minister of India is the head of the Indian government and is appointed and dismissed by the President of India, but the President of India is only the symbolic head of state, and the Prime Minister actually assumes the responsibilities of the government, and it can be said that the Prime Minister is the core figure with the most real power in the Indian government.
Indian Prime Minister Girarki Seid asked Defense Minister Chandra Shekhar with a gloomy face: "Didn't your Ministry of Defense give the order to close the air bases?" Why is there still a situation where warplanes are still missing at Barreli Air Force Base? Didn't Barreli Air Force Base follow the precautions we told our U.S. allies were? ”
Defense Minister Chandra Shekhar said with a wry smile: "After the disappearance of warplanes in Britain, the Netherlands, Spain and Israel, our Ministry of Defense has been extremely careful, fearing that Huaxing will have such strange means to come to our India, not only ordered all air bases and naval bases to enter a closed state, but also let the navy's warships temporarily leave the port docks, and even ordered the supplies of each base to be airdropped by transport helicopters, requiring all the passages of each base to be closed down. But I didn't expect that there would be a disappearance of fighters at Barreli Air Base, and it seems that the people who have that kind of strange means in Huaxing have already entered our Indian territory, alas-"
Indian Prime Minister Giralki Said frowned and said: "Since we are all on guard in accordance with the requirements told by the United States, there should be no problem, many countries in Europe have escaped by relying on such a method of defense, and your Ministry of Defense will immediately send an investigation team to Barreli Air Base, and we must investigate clearly, is there someone who violated the order and casually entered and exited the gate of Barreli Air Base?" ”
Defense Minister Chandra Shekhar nodded and said, "Prime Minister, the Ministry of Defense has sent an investigation team, hoping to find out what is going on as soon as possible, but this time our Indian Air Force has suffered too heavy losses." ”
Listening to the words of Defense Minister Chandra Shekar, Prime Minister Giralki Said couldn't help but say gloomily: "The missing fighters and ammunition in the entire Barreli Air Base, with a total value of more than $30 billion, have really hurt our Indian Air Force, and we must let other air bases raise the level of security to the highest level, and we must not let our Air Force lose any more fighters." ”
Defense Minister Chandra Shekhar hesitated, to be honest, after the incident at Barreli Air Base, Chandra Shekhar was no longer so confident in the precautionary measures told by the United States, "Prime Minister, the precautionary measures of other air bases are the same as those of Barreli Air Base, do you want to let the fighters of each air base be transferred away?" ”
Indian Prime Minister Girarki Said sighed and said: "Although we in India have some airfields in the Andaman Islands and some other islands, our Indian Air Force has thousands of warplanes, and the airfields on those islands are just a drop in the bucket for thousands of warplanes. And we must also guard against China and Pakistan! ”
Defense Minister Chandra Shekhar said helplessly: "There is really no way to transfer all the fighters, those island airports can accommodate less than 200 fighters at most, I am ready to give priority to transferring fifth-generation fighters to the islands to ensure safety, I hope that other air bases will not have any more disappearances of fighters, and it is not easy for our Indian Air Force to save so much money!" The loss of Barreli Air Base is equivalent to the loss of the hidden strength of our Indian Air Force by more than half. ”
It turns out that the strength of the Indian Air Force is not as announced by India, the active fighters are only a little more than 2,000, in fact, the Indian government also secretly hides nearly 800 active fighters, that is to say, the real situation of the Indian Air Force is that it has more than 2,800 active fighters, and most of the hidden fighters are secretly imported from the United States and Russia, and some are manufactured by India itself, once a war breaks out with China or Pakistan, The Indian Air Force can unexpectedly use more fighters to join the battle.
If the Indian Air Force counts the hidden fighters, it is even about the same number of fighters on the surface of the Chinese Air Force, but the Chinese Air Force also has its own hole cards, and it is not only the Indian Air Force that hides the number of fighters in service, and the Chinese Air Force currently has all the fighters in service of the fourth generation or more, and the Indian Air Force also has some third-generation fighters.
Lin Daxin rushed to the Harwara Air Base on the way, suddenly found an unusually large military base, Lin Daxin saw that Song Keer's information did not mention this military base, he knew that this was a military base of the Indian Army, originally Lin Daxin had a lot of weapons and equipment in the army, enough to arm more than 100,000 Free Corps army troops, so this time Lin Daxin in European countries, in Israel, in order to save time, did not start on the bases of the armies of various countries, except for the Volkel Air Base in the Netherlands, led by the hand hundreds of tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and armored transport vehicles, Lin Daxin did not deliberately steal the army's weapons and equipment.
However, since he passed by, Lin Daxin didn't mind giving his troops of the Free Corps Army more weapons and equipment, especially getting more heavy weapons and equipment, as a hand, anyway, it couldn't be delayed for long, so Lin Daxin soon came to the gate of the military base of the Indian Army, and what made Lin Daxin happy was that the gate of this base was not closed, and then Lin Daxin easily entered the inside of this base.
Lin Daxin wandered around this Indian Army base for a long time, only to find that this Indian Army base with the sign of "Kar Nicobar Military Base" covers a very large area, and he has been walking around for so long, and he has not finished walking around, and the garrison in the base must have at least tens of thousands of people, and in the numerous warehouses in the base, a large number of heavy weapons and equipment of the army and infantry weapons and equipment are reserved, and all kinds of ammunition are piled up.
Lin Daxin's protagonist halo shines again, this Karnicobar military base is one of the strategic forward bases set up by India to guard against China, and it is the largest army base in India, of which there are more than 100,000 troops stationed, in addition to having a large number of heavy equipment in active service in the Indian Army, it also has a large number of heavy weapons and equipment sealed and stored by the Indian Army, in the event of a war with China, the weapons sealed and stored here can quickly arm hundreds of thousands of reserve troops of the Indian Army.
The Indian Ministry of Defense only issued an order to let the various air bases and naval bases enter a closed state, although the various army bases were also allowed to strengthen security, but the various army bases in India were not closed, if the various army bases were closed, it would be okay for a short time, and the Indian Army did not have so many helicopters to air supply supplies to more than 1 million Indian Army officers and soldiers in various army bases.
The Karnicobar military base is really too big, Lin Daxin is not ready to finish the entire base, he directly came to a row of large warehouses in the base, rubbed his hands and began to continue his own transportation business.
Indian Defense Minister Chandra Shekhar had not yet left the Prime Minister's Office when a phone call from the Ministry of Defense was made to the Prime Minister's Office, and then Indian Prime Minister Giralki Seid and Defense Minister Chandra Shekar's faces became even more gloomy, and they received the news that there was a disappearance at the Karnicobar Army Base, and then Defense Minister Chandra Shekhar immediately hurriedly left the Prime Minister's office and rushed to the Ministry of Defense building.
Nearly six hours later, with a haggard look on his face, Defence Minister Chandra Shekhar returned to the Prime Minister's office, and Indian Prime Minister Girarki Seid asked with a gloomy face: "What about the loss of the Karnicobar Army Base?" ”
Defense Minister Chandra Shekhar said gloomily: "The disappearance of the Karnicobar Army Base has lasted for nearly 3 hours, and there is only an approximate loss data at present, this time our Indian Army has also planted a big heel, losing 280 T-90 main battle tanks, 684 T-72 series main battle tanks, 322 Arjun MK2 main battle tanks, about 900 infantry fighting vehicles of various types, more than 500 armored transport vehicles, 256 self-propelled guns, More than 200 artillery pieces with a caliber of more than 100 mm, 14 helicopter gunships and 8 transport helicopters. ”
The T-90 main battle tank and the T-72 series main battle tank are both third-generation main battle tanks imported from Russia by India, and the Arjun MK2 main battle tank is the third-generation main battle tank developed by India itself, and it is also the first tank made in India.
Prime Minister Giralki Said couldn't help but shudder at the corners of his mouth when he listened to the loss figures at the Karnicobar Army Base, such a large loss was too big for the Indian Army, and the data reported by Defense Minister Chandra Shekar was not finished.
"The weapons and equipment that our Indian Army has mothballed and stockpiled at the Karnicobar Army Base have also suffered heavy losses, with 300 T-55 medium tanks, 300 T-54 medium tanks, 520 Victor main battle tanks, 940 assorted armored vehicles, 160 self-propelled guns and 120 large-caliber artillery pieces all lost, while the 600 Arjun MK2 main battle tanks, 800 various infantry fighting vehicles, 800 armored transporters, 200 self-propelled guns and 150 large-caliber guns did not escape, and the loss of mothballed and stockpiled single infantry weapons and equipment, enough to arm 400,000 infantry, in addition, the huge amount of ammunition at the Carnicobar Army Base also disappeared, and more than a dozen large ammunition depots with ammunition reserves were emptied. ”
The T-55 medium tank and the T-54 medium tank are both first-generation main battle tanks, which were originally imported by India from the Soviet Union, and the Winner main battle tank should belong to the second-generation main battle tank, which was originally imported by India from Britain to equip the army units.
The more Defense Minister Chandra Shekar spoke, the more his voice trembled, and although the Karnicobar Army Base was not looted like the Barreli Air Base, the amount of weapons and equipment lost was too great.
Not counting the weapons and equipment mothballed and stockpiled at the Karnikopa Army Base, the loss of heavy weapons in service alone is almost a quarter of the entire Indian Army.
After listening to the approximate loss data of the Karnicobar Army Base, Prime Minister Giralki Said's face suddenly turned from gloomy to pale, especially the loss of heavy weapons and equipment, which made Prime Minister Giralki Said's heart cut like a knife, and at the same time there was a trace of worry, this is most of the heavy weapons and equipment arranged by the Indian Army on the Sino-Indian border, and then Prime Minister Giralki Seid ordered Defense Minister Chandra Shekar: "Immediately block the news of the Karnicobar Army Base, In addition, the matter of the Barreli Air Base must also be blocked, and China and Pakistan must not be let know, otherwise there are likely to be problems at the border. ”
Defense Minister Chandra Shekhar nodded with a heavy expression, "Rest assured, President, I have ordered the blockade of any news of Barreli Air Base and Karnicobar Army Base, and all relevant personnel who know about it are not allowed to leave the above two bases, and I have also ordered all Army bases to be temporarily closed to prevent the disappearance from happening again." ”
Prime Minister Giralki Said shook his head helplessly, he now regrets it to the extreme, if only he did not agree to India to join the United Nations forces against Huaxing this time, the strange means that Huaxing will have are too rebellious, he even has the idea of letting India withdraw from the United Nations forces, otherwise in the face of Huaxinghui's almost irresistible means, India's army does not know how much strength it will have to lose.
