318 The Five Nations sent troops
At dawn on January 24, fierce fighting raged on Pakistani soil. The three cities of Karachi, Norgondi, and Quetta, plus a Gwadar port, went to war almost at the same time.
The port of Karachi is surrounded by steep plateaus and mountains to the north, the sea to the southwest, and dozens of kilometers of rivers and marshy areas to the east. The port of Karachi is surrounded by these natural and dangerous geographical environments, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The Pakistani army guarding the port of Karachi, with the support of the Chinese side, already has 400,000 arquebus infantry, 50,000 artillery, and nearly 2,000 large and small cannons. There are more than 2 million Indian front-line troops besieging the port of Karachi, with various cold weapon corps, including war elephant corps, crossbow corps, and armor shield corps.
However, although the Indian side has a large number of troops, it has not been able to exert itself in the special geographical environment of Karachi, and it has been unable to attack the city of Karachi for the past six months. Now Karachi is guarded by heavy artillery and arquebuses, which is even more difficult to attack.
The Indian Corps made a tentative assault on the port of Karachi, which was suppressed by heavy fire from the defending artillery. Eventually, they abandoned their intention to storm the city and instead deployed defensive lines on the periphery to prevent the Pakistani army from breaking out of the port of Karachi and onto the eastern plains.
However, the Pakistani army in Karachi had no intention of rushing out. The Indian corps did not force the siege, and they did not intend to fight. According to the strategic deployment of the Chinese side and the Pakistani military, a counteroffensive is not opened from Karachi, but from Gwadar.
The port of Karachi is a strategic hub for China, India and Pakistan, with the largest number of defensive and offensive forces, but the slightest fighting.
Norgondi City, a city on the western plateau of Pakistan, is bordered by the Kingdom of Afghanistan to the north and the Kingdom of Iran to the west. To the east is an endless plateau, far from the Indian mainland. India's mobilization of troops to recruit Nogondi is an extremely difficult task in terms of troop strength and material transportation. The city of Norgondi, which was supported by Iranian military supplies, took advantage of it.
The city of Norgondi had five or six hundred thousand Pakistani defenders. All of them are cold weapon classes. The 500,000 Indian regiments that attacked the city of Norgondi were also cold weapons. As soon as the armistice ended, the siege battle broke out, and the two sides fought very fiercely.
Quetta, a city in the middle of plateaus and mountains, just over 100 kilometers from the plains of Afghanistan, is one of the most precipitous cities in Pakistan. The distance from the eastern plains to the plateau where Quetta is located is only 130 kilometers, but the altitude soars from 200 meters to 1,800 meters. There is only one precipitous road that leads to Quetta from the eastern plains. The incomparably large Indian legion. In the midst of the treacherous mountains, there is no room for manoeuvre. Quetta City can be said to be a very difficult bone to gnaw.
In the above three places, the battle situation is either extremely fierce. It's either prosaic, but it's almost deadlocked. The Indian Corps could not eat these three cities in one bite, and it was difficult for the Pakistani army to launch an effective counterattack.
Breakthrough in the battle situation. Landed on the western port of Sweet Potato Dar.
The Chinese fleet dispatched a thousand warships. 100,000 of the most elite flint infantry and bronze artillery were transported to the port of Gwadar, hundreds of miles away. In one fell swoop, the Indian regiment defending the Gwadar port was defeated. The fourth local battlefield in the Indo-Pakistani War was opened.
This battlefield. It is also the only one in which China, India, and Pakistan have all been put into the battlefield of the army.
Flint guns. It is an Arquebus Earth Evolution rifle. Harquebus. Ignition shot. Shoot for 1/1 minute. It cannot be used in rainy weather. Flint guns. Percussive shots. Shoot for 2/1 minute. Can be used on rainy days.
As can be seen from the comparison of the above data. The flint ground is far more powerful than the arquebus. The Chinese fleet will be 100,000 elite Pakistani flint infantry. Transportation to the port of Gwadar. Easily broke through the ground defense line of the Indian Corps.
But. This unit is arguably the most well-equipped infantry unit in the Empire at the moment. Can easily defeat any other infantry. But the number is too small. It is not enough to recover all the cities and territories in western Pakistan occupied by the Indian army.
To solve this problem, the Chinese side has resorted to the most assertive diplomatic means. , a day destined to go down in the history of Empire.
Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Sudan and other five major countries in the Middle East and Africa also made a declaration to send troops to Pakistan and expel the Indian legions that invaded Pakistan.
As soon as this manifesto came out. Immediately shocked the entire Middle East and the countries of the Indian Ocean. These five countries can be called the most powerful Islamic countries in the Middle East at present. They joined forces and represented the voice of the entire Islamic world.
Indian players were stunned. They did not expect that the countries of the Middle East would suddenly send troops at this time.
Speaking of India's invasion of Pakistan, which began as early as half a year ago, these countries in the Middle East have not said a word for such a long period of time, as if they had not seen it.
Persian and Arab merchants did business with India. Although a small number of Middle Eastern countries have secretly "colluded" with Pakistan to provide material support to Pakistani players, they have never dared to get along with India on the surface.
Indian players know very well that the reason why Middle Eastern countries dare not speak up is also very simple, India is the most powerful power in the entire Indian Ocean. Whether it is the 40,000 Indian Navy fleet or the tens of millions of Indian 6th Army Corps, it is not only a strong pervert, but also a large number of perverts.
If the Indian fleet blockaded the Gulf of Oman and the Gulf of Aden, both Persian and Arab merchants would suffer heavy losses.
India's pressure on Middle Eastern countries is even stronger than that of Western European countries. On the issue of India's invasion of Pakistan, players in the Middle East countries have remained silent, and they will not risk offending India to help Pakistani players as long as they do not seriously harm their interests.
Moreover, players in the Middle East are not united, and there is constant fighting between Iranian and Iraqi players. The Egyptians were busy dealing with Western European warships coming from the Mediterranean. It was a bit reluctant to ask them to join forces to help Pakistan fight the Indians.
So while Indian players were busy cleaning up Pakistan, players from all over the Middle East were also busy with their own things and didn't say anything.
The arrival of the Chinese fleet, which was stationed at the port of Hambantota in Sri Lanka, immediately changed the strong position of the Indian fleet in the Indian Ocean, although the Indian fleet was still very numerous. But the arrogance has subsided a lot. A large number of advanced Chinese firearms have equipped the Pakistani army, so that the Pakistani army has a certain degree of self-protection and temporarily escaped the danger of losing the country, but it is still far from recovering all the territory.
Although China has provided Pakistan's most sophisticated weapons and equipment, it has been supplied for tens of thousands of kilometers. The risk of replenishment is high, and the quantity is limited after all.
For Pakistan to regain its territory, it must resort to neighboring countries.
The Indian Ocean countries are too weak to be sure.
Only the countries of the Middle East have the strength to come to Pakistan's rescue. Moreover, most Pakistani players are Muslims, and they have the same beliefs as players from Middle Eastern countries.
Therefore, the Chinese side sent envoys to the countries of the Middle East and asked them to send troops. Persian and Arab players are hesitant to openly offend Indian players, who are too close to them.
In order to send troops to the countries of the Middle East. The Chinese side offered the most attractive condition -- to provide black powder technology to the five Middle Eastern countries in exchange for the five countries to send troops.
It has to be said that this condition is extremely attractive.
all over the world. Apart from China, there are not many countries that have black powder technology, only a few countries in Europe and North America have mastered it. European arquebus infantry has begun to march to the battlefields of Jerusalem in Palestine, putting enormous military pressure on the countries of the Middle East.
Under a strong diplomatic offensive and an exchange of interests, the Iranian player first agreed to the request to send troops.
Iran is a neighbor of Pakistan and has long been very indignant and dissatisfied with India's invasion of Pakistan. After India has completed its mission of annexing Pakistan, it may launch an attack on Iran at any time, posing a huge military threat to Iran's eastern territory. Moreover, after the capture of the port of Gwadar by the Indian fleet. In disguise, the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf are blocked, and Iran's sea access is blocked. This is a real threat to Iran's maritime security. Iranian players have been secretly supporting Pakistani players in Norgondi City, just not wanting to see Pakistan completely occupied by India. It's just that the strength of Iranian players is far inferior to that of Indian players, so they don't dare to openly argue with India, so they can only swallow their anger and make some small moves.
The Chinese envoy offered to use black powder technology in exchange for Iranian troops, and the Iranians agreed without much consideration. They believe that although China has come from afar, it has an excellent technological lead. Iran has the advantage of geographical proximity, and the two countries can join forces to ensure that Pakistan will not be annihilated to a minimum. Mitigating India's threat to the Iranian border.
Egypt was the second country to decide to send troops. Egypt is farther away from India and feels less of a threat to the Indian fleet. But they sensed the horror of the Western European firearms corps, the aggressive Frankish artillery warships in the Suez Canal, and the Egyptians' desperate desire to acquire black powder and firearms technology to defuse the threat from Western Europe.
Iraq is the third country to agree to send troops. Iran has acquired black powder technology, and they do not want to be left behind.
Then Saudi Arabia promised to send troops. As a regional power in the Middle East. They could not be left unrepresented in such a large-scale military operation. For black powder technology. They are also interested.
Sudan, which sent troops on behalf of African countries.
So far. Five Islamic countries in the Middle East and Africa have agreed to join forces in Pakistan to help Pakistani players regain their territory.
The fleet of the five nations boarded the Gwadar port in the same port.
The 6 armies, supplies, and NPC craftsmen of various countries have been continuously transported to the port of Gwadar. The Pakistani flintlock infantry corps conquered the recovered cities and lands, and the first teams took over the defense, which greatly solved the problem of Pakistan's short-term shortage of troops.
The seemingly insignificant port of Gwadar, originally located on Pakistan's western border coast, has suddenly shown its extreme strategic importance as the most important port for countries in the Middle East and Africa to support Pakistani players in regaining territory.
