Kandahar Command, Afghanistan. General Joseph, the commander of the Afghan front-line garrison in charge of the US army's war against Pakistan, was on the verge of going berserk, and for the poor performance and huge casualties of the 10th Mountain Division, Admiral Joseph angrily scolded Major General Smith of the 10th Mountain Division for a while, so when Major General Hawke asked to retreat, Admiral Joseph was still angry, and also scolded Major General Hawke, who was not timely enough to rescue.

At this moment, hundreds of fighters of the US Air Force are coming at the same time, and they will soon be able to gain air superiority, according to Admiral Joseph's vision, at least the Pakistani army's heavy armored units in the Ataq area must be eliminated in order to recover a little of the impact of the 10th Mountain Division's fiasco, and the loss of 2 M1A2SEP tank battalions and 2 Bradley tank battalions in World War I, plus an Avenger anti-aircraft missile battalion, this loss can almost make Admiral Joseph a laughing stock among his colleagues, let alone promoted to army chief of staff, If you don't have a good record, it's hard to keep your current position.

Before launching the campaign against Pakistan, Admiral Joseph was full of ambition, thinking that this would be the peak of his military career, and once he won the battle against Pakistan, there was no doubt that he would be above the commander in Iraq who commanded the Persian war, and at the same time, he would also overwhelm the commander in Europe, who had no military achievements, and become the chief of staff of the US Army.

Who knows that as soon as the war began, the air did not take advantage of the fighters of the Pakistani army, so that it was impossible to obtain air supremacy in Pakistan's airspace, but fortunately, in the battle of Peshawar, the ground troops under his command were quite powerful, and in one fell swoop took down two divisions and one armored brigade of the Pakistani army, and it seems that the ground advance is much smoother than that in the air.

Who knew that when it came to the Ataq area, it was so fierce that the results achieved in front of it were almost meaningless, and the 10th Mountain Division, which was about to be scrapped, proved that the strength of the Pakistani ground forces far exceeded everyone's expectations, and General Joseph was even more afraid when he thought of this, but fortunately he did not listen to the battle plan of some staff officers at the beginning, and rashly threw the 82nd Airborne Division in his hands near Islamabad to seize Islamabad.

Otherwise, Admiral Joseph is estimated to have received the news of the annihilation of the 82nd Airborne Division, which is definitely an unprecedented and huge shame in the history of modern warfare of the US military. And General Joseph, as the commander, will also become a rare defeated general in the history of the U.S. Army because of this huge defeat.

Fortunately, the Pakistani army, which had a closer relationship with the PLA, was indeed more difficult than the Persian army. But now, Admiral Joseph saw that the air force group from the Gulf region was constantly approaching Attaq, and he was ruthless in his heart that he must take down the Pakistani army's armored brigade with extremely powerful attack ability in front of him, otherwise this battle will be a big failure in his military career according to the current results.

In Beijing, on the large curtain wall of the General Staff Operational Command Center, the current situation of important battles in the battlefields of North Korea and Pakistan is displayed in real time, and the land-based radar early warning system in Pakistan has already transmitted back the dynamics of US fighters, but in the face of this situation, the General Staff is also helpless, and now there is only one J-20 flight regiment left in the air force reserve that can resist US fighters, and at this moment the Pakistani army is facing a two-sided attack by the US and Indian air forces.

"Our Air Force of the Northwest Military District will no longer have troops to send?" Vice Chairman Liu's face sank like water, and he asked Major General Shi Shaolai, director of the General Staff Operations Department on the side.

"Chairman Liu, now our army is close to several air bases on the Pakistani side, only three J-10 flight regiments remain, but the airspace that needs to be defended has to be from the south of Xinjiang to the southwest of Tibet, which has reached the limit, and now the war in the northeast Korean battlefield has not started, but it may be facing the air forces of the United States, South Korea and Japan, and the air pressure is also very large, although the US military in the southeast has not yet moved, there are five US aircraft carrier battle groups eyeing each other, plus the US military has assembled more than 500 third-generation and fourth-generation fighters, The pressure on our Air Force in the Southeastern Theater is not small; In the southern Tibetan direction, the Southwestern Military Region has already sent two mountain divisions, which also need air force support to gain a foothold. Major General Shi Shaolai introduced.

With regard to the situation that the PLA is now facing, Vice Chairman Liu is of course also aware that the PLA is now embattled on all sides, with battlefields and defense lines stretching for thousands of kilometers, and the total number of fighters of various types in the PLA's main force is less than 2,000.

However, the situation facing the Pakistani army is extremely critical, and if it is unable to entangle the Indian and American air forces in the air battle and let them pose a threat to the Pakistani ground forces, then once the elite armored forces of the Pakistani army in the Ataq area are lost, Islamabad, which has lost the 1st Independent Armored Brigade and the 3rd Independent Armored Division, will be quite dangerous.

"Chairman Liu, I do have an immature opinion," Major General Zhu Shaolai, chief officer of the Intelligence Department of the General Staff, interjected, "The Persian Air Force still has more than 80 Thunder fighters that cannot be hidden, and if it can be said that the Persians can be mobilized this time, then with the addition of our PLA J-20 flight regiment, it should be enough to compete with the US fighters from the Persian Gulf." ”

"No, let's not say whether the Persians will agree to participate in the war, now even if they are willing to participate in the war, due to our design limitations, the Pakistani army's land-based radar early warning system is the same as that used by the PLA, but the Persian Air Force's Thunder Dragon fighter can not be seamlessly connected with the Pakistani army's ground-based land-based radar to exchange data, and its fighter combat system must be modified to be able to access the Pakistani army's ground-based radar early warning system, and if you rely solely on the Thunder native radar fire control system, the Persian military's Thunder Dragon fighter is simply not able to communicate with the U.S. military's F\/ The A-18 Super Hornet is up against it, let alone the F-15E/F. Lieutenant General Cai Junkai, deputy commander of the Air Force, shook his head and said.

As one of the leading members of the negotiation team for the sale of the Persian Thunder Dragon fighter at the beginning, Cai Junkai is of course very clear about the transaction between the PLA and the Persian Air Force, and the Thunder Dragon fighter combat system owned by the Persian military is also a simplified version of the theater joint combat system, and the number of cluster combat fighters that can be formed is much less than that adopted by the Pakistani army, of course, this is not too much of a problem in the face of fighters like the F\/A-18 Super Hornet or F-15E\/F. If it is possible to form a group of more than 4 to 1 in the local airspace, the Thunder Dragon group will be able to win.

After listening to Zhu Shaolai's suggestion, Vice Chairman Liu's eyes just lit up, and he was immediately poured a basin of cold water on Cai Junkai's head.

"Regarding the problem that Deputy Commander Cai said, I have a solution," General Yang Jianguo, the general assembly, suddenly interjected, "The ground radar early warning system is unlikely to transform the Persian Air Force's Thunder Dragon fighters one by one to adapt to it in a short period of time, but we can change the Pakistani Army's existing Air Police-2000 air early warning aircraft interface, and allow the Persian Air Force's Thunder Dragon fighters to access to solve the problem of radar early warning and command." Because the Persian Air Force's Thunder Dragon fighter originally used our Air Police-200 air early warning aircraft and ground radar system, there will be no problem between the Air Police-200 and the Air Police-2000 in terms of interface compatibility. ”

Hearing this, the generals present were all excited, an originally whimsical idea, it seems that there is a complete possibility of implementation in technology, and now as long as the Persian military agrees to send its own precious fighters to participate in the battle, it is very likely that the current Pakistani army will survive this difficulty.

Thinking of this, Vice Chairman Liu made up his mind.

The request of the People's Liberation Army was quickly transmitted to the Persian military high command, and in response to this unexpected request of the People's Liberation Army, the Persian military was quickly divided into two factions, one faction agreed to immediately send Thunder fighters to help in the war.

The reasons for the main battle faction are also very sufficient: now Persia and the Pakistani army are already quite closely connected, and both sides are suffering from the poison of the US military, and Persia and Pakistan are now bitter lips and teeth, which is a natural alliance relationship, not to mention that in order to improve the combat strength of the air force faster, the Persian military has sent a large number of pilots to Islamabad to conduct combat training on the new Thunder and J-10P fighters, and not long ago they also participated in the air battle of the Pakistani army against the US army, although the Persians rarely sacrificed some pilots. However, the surviving Persian pilots have become new seeds of hope for the Persian Air Force, and their experience of piloting the new Thunder or J-10P with the most advanced fighters of the US military has already dispelled the myth of the invincibility of the US military. So helping the Pakistani army now is actually helping yourself.

But the opposition also has a good reason: now the Persians only have this batch of Thunder fighters left to maintain the last dignity in the air, if once this Thunder Dragon fighters are exhausted, the Persian airspace will be left to the US military, in terms of the current situation of the Pakistani army, it has no time to take care of itself, although the new Thunder Dragon and J-10P fighters are powerful, but the Pakistani army will never be able to provide new fighters on time in accordance with the contract in the case of their own attacks, so this is the last bit of the Persian air force in recent years, and it must be kept and used on the blade.

In the face of the differences within the Persians, Vice Chairman Liu saw the inner entanglement of the Persians in the vague reply sent back by their military attaché in China, and after on-the-spot consultations with several bigwigs of the Military Commission, Vice Chairman Liu promised the Persians that the security of Persian airspace would be protected by the PLA Air Force in the same way as the security of Pakistan's airspace! This promise was almost like a new military alliance with the Persians.

Although the two sides have not yet signed a written agreement, the Persian president finally made up his mind that now is the best opportunity to attach the PLA, although Persia is also difficult to protect itself, but this especially shows the sincerity of the Persians to send charcoal in the snow, this battle regardless of victory or defeat, can win the protection of the Persians in the future, then it is worth everything.

To tell the truth, if the People's Liberation Army (PLA) fails to resist the US military this time, it will be difficult for the current Persian regime to continue, and as long as we look at the most effective weapons on the Persian side, almost all of which are provided by the PLA, we will know that there is no third party in the world that has the ability and the will to save the current Persian regime except the PLA. As a statesman, the Persian president knows better than anyone that there is only one answer to this multiple-choice question.
