319 Balance of power
The port of Gwadar, a border seaport on Pakistan just a few dozen kilometers from Iran, quickly became busy. The fleet of Middle Eastern players from Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Sudan arrived in Gwadar with millions of NPC soldiers, craftsmen, and aid supplies to counter the invasion of Indian players.
With the port of Gwadar as the center, Pakistan's western coastline and cities and towns along the coast quickly fell into the hands of the Pakistani army and coalition forces.
The vanguard of 100,000 elite Pakistani flint infantry and artillery attacked the towns occupied by the Indian army with swiftness and ferocity. The coalition forces then took over the defenses and re-established themselves as towns in Pakistan.
The Indian Army has a number of ordinary 6th Army troops stationed in these towns along the Pakistani coastline, which exerts control over these towns. There were also a large number of Pakistani PC slaves in these towns, either brought back to India or left in Pakistan for various forced production. After a massive counter-offensive by the Pakistani army, these NPC slaves returned to the Pakistani player.
These Indian 6 armies quickly collapsed under the strong counterattack of Pakistani muskets and artillery. After recovering a large number of towns along the western coastline, the Pakistani army soon moved north and attacked the western highlands, opening roads to the towns of Nogondi and Quetta.
The tribal armies scattered throughout Pakistan and the remnants of the once defeated Pakistani players in the deep jungles of the mountains, these armies may seem small in strength, but they add up to a lot of total, and they are active again, harassing and destroying the supply lines of the Indian 6th Army.
The sea route was blocked by the Chinese fleet. Having lost its supply advantage at sea, the Indian 6th Army in western Pakistan could only obtain all kinds of munitions from the long six-way transportation, and if the supply line went wrong, it was in an even worse situation than the Pakistani army.
The fighting has rekindled in the western part of Pakistan.
The Chinese army is not directly involved in the war between India and Pakistan in the six places, but is constantly providing armaments to Pakistan and actively increasing the naval fleet stationed in the Indian Ocean.
The Chinese side was initially stationed at the port of Hambantota in Sri Lanka with a fleet of 1,000 gunboats and 5,000 ordinary war sailboats. Although this puts great military pressure on the Indian Navy, it is not enough to control the security of the vast Indian Ocean.
Escort supply fleets to and from the Indian Ocean, and protect the ports of Hambantota, Karachi and Gwadar. ^^^^ need a large number of gunboats.
During the fifteen-day armistice, 2,000 new gunboats were transferred from China and placed under the jurisdiction of the Chinese Indian Ocean Naval Command. A total of three Chinese gunboats of 1,000 specifications are stationed in the ports of Hambantota and Karachi, maintaining the security of the Chinese fleet in the Indian Ocean and deterring the remaining Indian fleets. Port of Hambantota.
As the number of gunboats increases, the voices of naval battles with Indian players in China's Indian Ocean Command are also getting louder. A large number of mid- and high-level player generals strongly demanded a direct war with the Indian Navy fleet. Wipe out all the Indian fleet and completely eradicate the troubles.
The Indian Navy's fleet originally consisted of more than 40,000 old sailing warships at the military ports of Mumbai, Kochi, Chennai and Visakhapatnam. The Chennai fleet was killed by a surprise attack by Chinese gunboats, and the remaining three fleets remained in their respective ports. Although these three fleets are backward warships, they are still a huge threat to Chinese warships.
Both the Chinese and Indian ships were wooden sailing ships, with the only difference being that the Chinese ships were equipped with bronze cannons and covered with a thin layer of iron. Therefore, in terms of range, attack and defense, Indian warships are much stronger. But that doesn't mean you're invincible. ===In some special cases, such as storms, the combat effectiveness may be similar to that of Indian warships.
Even the adjutant of Sea Soul was worried about the safety of the Chinese fleet. At the end of the armistice, one of Sea Soul's close lieutenants asked to take the initiative to fight. Destroy the Indian fleet.
Sea Soul smiled: "You want to lead the fleet into battle? ”
The adjutant hurriedly said, "Yes, now is the best time." We now have three new naval fleets, and the new warships of the Indian Ground have not yet been built. Now that the war begins, there is every certainty that the remaining three Indian fleets can be wiped out together. As a result, there will be no warships in the entire Indian Ocean that can threaten us. ”
Sea Soul was silent for a moment, patted the adjutant on the shoulder, and said, "Such an idea is too simple. India is not Japan, India has enough forests, minerals, and human resources to make warships, even if the Indian fleet is exhausted. They will also be able to build a large number of new ships very quickly. As long as we can't get to India on the mainland, we can't really let the Indian fleet disappear from the Indian Ocean. In fact, we don't have the time and energy to conquer India itself, we have some more important things to do. And, how long do you think it will take India to build our new gunboats? ”
The adjutant thought for a moment and said, "Even if they master all the relevant ground artillery techniques now, it will probably take half a month to a month." ****”
Sea Soul said: "That is to say, at the latest, India will be able to mass-produce gunboats." Even if we run out of the Indian fleet now, in a month we will still have to face a more formidable war opponent who will have the same long-range artillery as we do. ”
The adjutant was puzzled, "Boss." I still don't get it. What does this have to do with our current destruction of their fleets? Is it because they will produce new gunboats in a month, so we can't fight their fleet now? ”
Sea Soul laughed and said, "There is indeed some connection between the two. There are 30,000 old-fashioned sailing boats in India. These warships need to be maintained regularly, occupy a lot of materials, occupy port berths, which limits the number of their new warships, with these 30,000 old warships, their subconscious will think that there is not too much need for new warships, although these old warships are backward but can also come in handy, which will unconsciously limit India's display of new warships. If all these 30,000 old warships are wiped out, then Indian players will definitely be seriously stimulated and will be crazy to build new warships, and I can guarantee that in a month, every Indian port will be filled with new warships. ^^^^ know, our biggest advantage now is that we have new gunboats, while the Indians only have old ships. If the situation reverses in a month's time, we will most likely not be able to master the Indian Ocean, or even be forced to withdraw from it, and we will fall short. ”
The adjutant was stunned for a moment, he was clearly unaware of the problem. "But even if the Indian players make the gunboats, we can also build more advanced gunboats!"
Sea Soul said: "Hot weapons and cold weapons are a watershed, and the flintlock regiment can easily destroy one of the enemy's cold weapon legions. If the same flint gun is used, then the combat effect between friend and foe will not be much different. Of course, this is only a small reason, and there is an even more important reason, we cannot go to war with the Indian Navy. ”
The adjutant said, "Oh, what is it? ”
Sea Soul smiled and said, "The most important reason is that the General Headquarters does not allow us to go to war with the Indian fleet. I won't let you go to war unless you can get the Commander-in-Chief to agree. ”
The Great Zhou Dynasty Navy Command in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, did give an order to the Indian Ocean Navy Command: Unless the Indian fleet takes the initiative to provoke, the Chinese fleet will not be allowed to take the initiative to start a war with the Indian fleet.
Of course, the reason for this is not as simple as Sea Soul told his adjutant.
Sea Soul knows this.
In fact, the combat strategy of the entire navy was formulated by a very small number of high-ranking leaders. Qin Xiaobai, Sword King, Sea Soul, and Crazy Dragon are not only the nine prince-level players, but also have another identity - the arms dealer of the Wolf Smoke Organization.
They control almost all of the main naval fleets in the hands of Chinese players. Every step they take is to better promote the production, sales and sales of in-game arms.
It is their arms that are produced, and they are also their arms that are sold. These two points are where the interests of the thunderbolt lie, and it is impossible for them to make the slightest mistake in this regard. And in order to sell arms, there must be battlefields and wars.
Under their dominance. One of the purposes of the Chinese fleet in the Indian Ocean is to save Pakistan and prop up a staunch ally and proxy in the Indian Ocean; The second purpose was to open maritime trade routes between China and Persia, Arabia, Africa, Europe, and India, and neither of them was aimed at destroying the Indian fleet. The initial war with the Indian Navy was not an end in itself, but a forced decision to save Pakistan.
Now Pakistan has received a lot of assistance from China and the players of the five major countries in the Middle East, and is quickly subduing the territory, and will be able to recover at least half of the territory within half a month, and the entire territory within a few months.
If this can be achieved, then the Chinese fleet does not need to destroy all the Indian fleets. An overly weakened Indian fleet is not in the interests of these big arms dealers.
Because in the Indian Ocean there are not only a large number of Indian fleets, a small number of Chinese fleets, but also a number of Arab and Persian fleets. Destroying the Indian fleet will only cheapen Arab and Persian players for nothing, giving them a chance to expand. At present, many islands in the Indian Ocean are occupied by the Indian Navy, and the Chinese fleet simply cannot spare warships and troops to occupy them.
This kind of thing that they do their own efforts and others pick up cheap things in the back, they will not do. Maintaining a certain balance between the Arab fleet and the Indian fleet would be more conducive to the Chinese fleet crisscrossing the Indian Ocean.
For all these reasons, the Navy General Command issued an order not to take the initiative to start a naval war, and constantly strengthened the presence of the Chinese fleet in the Indian Ocean. It would be great if you could get the 6th Army and Navy of the Arab and Persian players to fight the 6th Army and Navy of the Indian players.
For arms dealers, the happiest thing to see is undoubtedly to see others pinching each other, rather than rushing up to confront others.
