"Have you dealt with China and India diplomatically?" I asked.

The least costly and risky thing to do is to have a diplomatic dialogue first.

"Why not?!" Division Commander Wu replied: "But the Indian side seems to be intent on provoking a war......

After being silent for a while, Division Commander Wu frowned and said: "This matter has to start at the beginning of this year, a few months ago, India carried out the largest exercise on the India-Pakistan border at that time, and there were even a few artillery shells that did not know whether they fell into Pakistan intentionally or unintentionally. Although India said at the time that this was an unintentional move by its subordinates, we believe it...... This is India forcing Pakistan to intervene. ”

I nodded, this analysis certainly makes sense, and Pakistan is also at a very sensitive and extremely dangerous time at this time.

On the one hand, Pakistan can be said to be India's old enemy, especially after China and Pakistan have strengthened military cooperation, they have formed a two-sided attack on India.

On the other hand, although India is a non-aligned country, it was relatively close to the Soviet Union during this period, such as the Third Indo-Pakistani War more than ten years ago, India successfully dismembered Pakistan with the help of the Soviet Union and made Bangladesh independent from Pakistan.

This is actually what happened in politics, and although India's "non-alignment" affirmed that it would not take sides between the United States and the Soviet Union, it was driven by common interests to move it to the Soviet Union...... India and the Soviet Union have common interests, you must know that the Soviet Union was deep in the quagmire of Afghanistan at this time, and the reason why the Soviet Union was mired in the quagmire and could not extricate itself was partly because of Pakistan's covert support for Afghanistan. For example, both our country and the United States have established military bases on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border to supply Afghan guerrillas with weapons, supplies, and training personnel.

As a result, the Soviet Union also regarded Pakistan as a thorn in the side.

In other words. The Soviet Union and India had at least two common or potential enemies during this period: Pakistan and China.

Connect all of these qiē...... The Mi-26 will appear over the Sino-Indian border at this time. It is not surprising that India will be playing tricks on the Sino-Indian border at this time, and that India will hold large-scale military exercises on the India-Pakistan border at this time.

To put it simply, it was a mutual use between India and the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union wanted to use India's hand to cause chaos in China and Pakistan in order to reduce the pressure on the Soviet Union in Afghanistan and Vietnam. India, on the other hand, hopes to break the pattern of being caught between China and Pakistan by the hands of the Soviet Union, and even wants to annex Pakistan.

"But to India's surprise, it was ......," Commander Wu continued: "Pakistan was very calm about India's provocative behavior in the military exercise, and the Pakistani side did nothing except make a few protests, and even restrained the angry soldiers and civilians on the border so that they did not act aggressively, and in the end, India's military exercise had to end hastily." ”

I agree with Pakistan's reaction. There is a saying in China that "if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan", and it is obvious that the two big countries, India and the Soviet Union, are preparing to find an excuse to attack Pakistan, and if Pakistan does not swallow this breath, then even if China and the United States support it, it will not be justified.

However, Pakistan's reaction is now very calm, and if India continues to be arrogant or even forcibly start a war under such circumstances, then international public opinion will soon condemn India one-sidedly, and then China and the United States will be able to stand on the commanding heights of public opinion and calmly deal with it.

But Pakistan's trick sounds so familiar to me.

After thinking about it, it quickly became clear that "protesting", "restraining one's own soldiers and domestic people", and even blocking the news from the country...... Isn't this something that is often done in our country?!

So I have every reason to believe that the Pakistani government is actually doing this under the construction of China. And for a long time to come, China itself will have to do the same...... In response to other countries' provocations, they can only express protest but do not take substantive action. If the strength is insufficient, you can only keep it quiet, and only when you really grow to the point that your fists are hard enough can you "make a difference", otherwise it is very likely that you will be strangled by others with various excuses, and this is the reality between countries.

"In this case, India has set its sights on China." "As I said before, they have made some moves on the Sino-Indian border, and when we protest them diplomatically, the answer we get is that India has the right to patrol the area north of the McMahon Line," Commander Wu said. ”

I just drank a sip of tea in my mouth, and I almost squirted out...... There are also excuses for such nonsense.

You must know that even the McMahon Line is not recognized by China in China, this is just a line unilaterally drawn by the British when they colonized India, and even the British colonial that is, the masters of India, are not capable of actually controlling this line...... The line was drawn by a British expedition, and it was still "undemarcated" on the map because the Chinese government did not recognize it.

In other words, it would be nice for India to get the area south of the McMahon Line, and they shamelessly say that they have the right to patrol the area north of the McMahon Line, knowing that most of China's territory is north of the McMahon Line...... Does this mean that the Indian army has the right to patrol China at will?!

"Of course." Commander Wu continued: "This does not mean that India wants to fight with us, the superiors mean ...... It is very likely that India wants to fish in troubled waters, and they have seen the shape of China's current internal and external troubles, thinking that we will swallow our anger like Pakistan, so they will try by all means to take advantage of the border. ”

I couldn't help but nodded, this analysis of Division Commander Wu is also reasonable, if the Indian side really wants to fight with us and launch a provocation, then it should use the method of dealing with Pakistan, that is, holding a large-scale military exercise on the Sino-Indian border, and then "accidentally" hitting a few shells into China.

But now India is not doing this, he is just using indiscriminate means and some obviously untenable nonsense to fool people.

"It's a difficult situation for us." After taking a sip of tea, Division Commander Wu sighed: "On the one hand, due to ten years of reasons, the transportation environment of our army in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has not improved much compared with the 62, but the Indian side has established a special service bureau, several divisions of mountain troops, and a relatively complete logistics supply line with it, and introduced a large number of advanced equipment from the United States and the Soviet Union, and now there is the support of the Mi-26, and its strength is also about ten times ours...... Especially at this time, our main force is basically fighting along the Sino-Vietnamese border, and if the war starts lightly on the Sino-Indian border, the shape is not optimistic! ”

I couldn't help but smile when I heard this.

What Division Commander Wu said I partially agreed with was that at this time, the main force of our army was fighting fiercely with the Vietnamese devils on the Sino-Vietnamese border, and various reforms were still being carried out in the country and a severe crackdown on criminals, and it was by no means a good thing to start a war lightly.

What disagrees is that Division Commander Wu imagines the Indian army to be too strong.

However, this does not seem to blame the division commander, at least on the surface, the Indian army is indeed like this, advanced equipment such as the current India has a variety of advanced fighters purchased from Britain and France and other countries, there are tanks, armored vehicles and helicopters purchased from the Soviet Union, etc., its individual equipment is also rapidly updated after 62 years, equipped with the British FN automatic rifle (that is, the standard rifle used by the Argentine and British armies in the Falklands War, India was originally a British colony, and it still maintains close ties with Britain after independence, Militarily, naturally, it is no exception).

It can even be said that India has been fighting Pakistan for decades and has a wealth of combat experience.

But the problem is that India's army is not a force capable of fighting, and its problems come from its internal contradictions and fragmented equipment.

Take the fighter as an example, its fighters have Britain, France, and the Soviet Union, these fighters are very different in design style, and even the standard of ammunition and parts used is different, which brings a lot of pressure to the maintenance and logistics of the fighter, and the Indians are born optimists, no matter what happens, it is almost on the line, so these fighters lack maintenance at all, even if there is no war, half of these high-priced fighters can fly into the sky, Those who can fly into the sky also fall down every once in a while......

Its individual weapons are still made in all countries, including the British FN, the Soviet AK, the American M16, and even the Enfield rifle during World War II.

One thing that is well known is that if this rifle is not standardized, it will definitely be a nightmare once a war starts, because it is difficult to know which type of bullet the front-line troops need during logistics supply, and because of this, there will be an emergency situation where the wrong bullet guide is sent to the front-line troops and there are no bullets available.

On the contrary, our army is much better than the Indian army in these aspects, and the 56 and a half, 56 punch and 81 bar all use the same type of bullets, and only two types of ammunition are sent to fight, rifle and machine gun cartridges. Of course, pistol cartridges are needed if necessary.

What's more, the Indian army has low morale and insufficient cohesion because of caste and corruption...... The high-caste soldiers can rise to the position without much effort, and the low-caste soldiers still crawl in the lower ranks even if they are killed and killed, and there is basically no hope of promotion. As for corruption, the Indian police are blatantly accepting bribes on the streets, and most of the funds allocated by the state to the army fall into the hands of corrupt officials.
