Chapter 575: Countermeasures on
"Your Excellency, the current situation is very serious for us," Admiral Jaswar, the newly appointed Admiral of Asan, reported to the president, adding that the total annihilation of the army that invaded the Pakistan-controlled area on the north and south lines of Asan's army directly led to the dismissal of Admiral K.J. Singh, the former chief of staff of the Asan, who was replaced by Lieutenant General Jaswar, commander of the Southern Military Region, and was promoted to general by the firing line.
"Our main forces stationed in Jammu and Kashmir have been lost, and we have lost three elite divisions such as the 8th and 19th Mountain Infantry Divisions, the 31st Armored Division, two whole divisions of the 10th Infantry Division and the 25th Infantry Division, as well as three armored brigades of the 2nd, 3rd and 16th Independent Armored Brigades.
"Judging from the intelligence obtained by our intelligence officers and the satellite reconnaissance information provided by the US military, the Pakistani army has not stopped its intention to be at the Line of Actual Control, and they are preparing to launch a round of war against the whole of Kashmir. Now the Chinese side is providing them with all kinds of weapons and equipment, including a whole division of 99A2 main battle tanks and a whole division of new wheeled armored fighting vehicles, plus a whole division of wheeled armored fighting vehicles provided by Saudi Arabia, the Pakistani army will soon have three whole divisions with rapid combat capabilities, and it is not surprising that the main force of the future offensive will be dominated by these three divisions. ”
Jaswar reported with a blank face that he had always been known as a cold-faced general in the three armies of Afghanistan, and he would not change his true colors when facing the president.
"What needs to be paid attention to is the new 99A2 armored division of the Pakistani army, in the previous battle, the main force of the Pakistani army's assault Kabul was the 99A2 armored brigade, and they also resisted the attack of our fast reaction division armored brigade and army aviation regiment one by one, we note that they are doing this with almost no air support, that is, compared to the Khalid armored brigade of the Pakistani army, this 99A2 tank combat power is more amazing. With equal strength, our T-90S main battle tank is no match at all. ”
"According to the report of our army's rapid response division participating in Kabule, the 99A2 armored brigade of the Pakistani army adopts a very strange and efficient tactic, they often attack one of our T-90S tanks with 2-3 main battle tanks, and the hit rate of this tactic is as high as 90 percent, that is to say, this tactic is exactly the same as the tactics of their air force, and it is basically a new fire control system developed by the Chinese side."
Ignoring the fact that the president's face was getting paler and paler, Jaswar continued: These are the actual situations facing the Indian army, and as the chief of staff of the army who has accepted the line of fire, he has to tell the truth in front of him, so that he can create the best conditions for the army to strive for new equipment.
Not to mention Kashmir, even if the Pakistani army wants to attack New Delhi, Jaswar will not be able to conjure up a heavenly general who can resist the Pakistani army.
"Our T-90S main battle tank is obviously not competent to fight against the new tank of the Pakistani army, so we must now ask the US military for help, and strive to obtain their M1A2SEP main battle tank, the army needs to have 2-3 M1A2SEP armored divisions, in order to have the ability to fight against the new tank of the Pakistani army, to solve the current precarious situation. As for the Air Force, I think we must also ask the US military to provide F-35 fighters as soon as possible, and we need 6-8 F-35 squadrons to be able to reverse the situation in which the Air Force is passively attacked and regain air supremacy. ”
These last few sentences are Jaswal's ultimate goal. It's just that he said it easily, 2-3 armored divisions, that is, 700-1000 main battle tanks are needed, with the high price that the US military is famous for, this batch of tanks cannot be taken at all without 10 billion US dollars, not to mention that it is still an extraordinary period, presumably the Americans will take advantage of this opportunity very well. Where is the government now spending so much money to cope with this big purchase?
What's more, even if the money is obtained by borrowing, in the face of such a large-scale purchase, even if the Americans are willing to sell, there is not so much inventory that can arrive at once, which is too inoperable for what Jaswal said. The F-6 of 8-35 squadrons is even more fantastical, and now the 2 squadrons of the Americans F-35 have not yet arrived?
Ah San's general unification time is a little annoyed, what does this Jaswar mean, don't do it if you can't do it, don't chirp and talk crookedly for a long time, the last idea is all unreliable nonsense, Kashmir is now under the pressure of soldiers, it's useless to talk about these now, do you want Kashmir?
Thinking of this, he glanced at Defense Minister Anthony, "What is Mr. Anthony's opinion on General Jaswar's opinion?" ”
Anthony was looking at Jaswar with an incredulous expression, hearing the president say this, he couldn't help but almost vomit blood in his heart, this kind of unreliable suggestion Jaswal can put forward, what do you ask me to say? But thinking that this time the president tried to protect himself in the position of defense minister, Anthony had to bite the bullet, the president's meaning was very clear, that is, he wanted the military to provide a decent plan to negotiate a ceasefire, this is the way to cure the root cause, what to expand armaments or war or something is all floating clouds?
But it's not appropriate for him to say this, once it is rumored that the initiator of the alliance under the city with the Pakistani army is he Anthony, and he is not eaten raw by the angry people? It's just that at this point, if he doesn't say it, he may be eaten raw by His Excellency the President in the blink of an eye.
Before the war, the generals said that the Pakistani army was like a sheep, and the Indian army could slaughter it as much as it wanted.
But who knew that it was actually a trap for the Pakistani army In the president's view, the strength that the Pakistani army now has is the real strength, and the previous is just a show of weakness for the Indian army, and its purpose is to put the responsibility for provoking the war on the Indian army, so as to find an excellent excuse for them to attack Kashmir.
Don't blame President A San for having a special mind, judging from the very different performance of the Pakistani army in the past few days, His Excellency the President, who is good at looking at problems from the strategic level, is easier to see the essence through the phenomenon, although he nodded and agreed to the initiation of this war, but the president also has times when he was deceived, not to mention that this time he was fooled by his own people One by one SU-30MKI fighters are comparable to the American F-22, and they can have the upper hand during the exercise, and there is almost no suspense for the Air Force to win the Pakistani Air Force, and the T-90S tank ranks among the top three in the world, It can definitely beat the Pakistani army Khalid everywhere.
Although the words were not so rough, the impression given to the President was that at the beginning of the war, such a drama was indeed staged with the Pakistani army, and the Pakistani army was defeated one by one, and the air force was beaten even more miserably.
