"Have China and India ever dealt with each other diplomatically?" I asked.:3w.
For something like this, the lowest cost and risk is to have a diplomatic dialogue first.
"Why not?!" Commander Wu replied: "But the Indian side seems to intend to provoke a war..."
After being silent for a while, Commander Wu frowned and said: "This matter has to start from the beginning of this year. A few months ago, India carried out the largest exercise at the time on the India-Pakistan border, which even included several artillery shells.
We don’t know whether it fell into Pakistan intentionally or accidentally. Although India said at the time that it was an unintentional act by its subordinates, we believe...this was India forcing Pakistan to take action."
I nodded. This analysis certainly made sense. At this time, Pakistan was also at a very sensitive and extremely dangerous moment.
On the one hand, Pakistan can be said to be India's old enemy. Especially after China and Pakistan strengthened military cooperation, they formed a two-sided attack on India. India is even more eager to remove it like a thorn in its back.
On the other hand, although India is a non-aligned country, it was closer to the Soviet Union during this period. For example, in the third India-Pakistan War more than ten years ago, India relied on the help of the Soviet Union to successfully dismember Pakistan and make Bangladesh
Independence from Pakistan.
Political things are actually like this. Although India's "non-alignment" stated that it would not take sides between the United States and the Soviet Union, driven by common interests, it still relied on the Soviet Union's methods... India and the Soviet Union had common interests.
You must know that the Soviet Union was deeply mired in Afghanistan at this time, and
A considerable part of the reason why the Soviet Union was stuck in the quagmire and unable to extricate itself was because of Pakistan's covert support to Afghanistan. For example, our country and the United States have established military bases on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border to provide weapons to the Afghan guerrillas.
Supplies and trains personnel.
Therefore, the Soviet Union also regarded Pakistan as a thorn in its side.
In other words, the Soviet Union and India during this period had at least two common enemies or potential enemies: Pakistan and China.
Connecting all this... The Mi-26 will appear over the Sino-Indian border at this time. India will do tricks on the Sino-Indian border at this time and India will hold a large-scale military exercise at the India-Pakistan border at this time.
No wonder.
To put it simply, India and the Soviet Union are actually using each other. The Soviet Union wants to use India's hands to cause chaos to China and Pakistan, so as to reduce the pressure on the Soviet Union in Afghanistan and Vietnam. India hopes to use the Soviet Union's hands to break the conflict between China and Pakistan.
Pakistan is in a pincer attack pattern, and even wants to annex Pakistan.
"But to India's surprise..." Commander Wu continued: "Pakistan acted very calmly regarding the provocative behavior of India's military exercises. Apart from issuing a few protests, Pakistan did not take any action and even restrained
The angry soldiers and people on the border prevented them from taking drastic actions, and in the end, India's military exercise had to end hastily."
I still agree with Pakistan's reaction. There is a saying in China that "a small impatience will mess up a big plan." The current situation is obviously that the two major powers India and the Soviet Union are ready to find excuses to attack Pakistan. If Pakistan does not swallow this tone,
, then even if China and the United States support it, it is unfair.
But now Pakistan's reaction is very calm. If India continues to be arrogant or even launches a war forcefully under such circumstances, then international public opinion will soon condemn India one-sidedly. By then, China and the United States will be able to stand on the commanding heights of public opinion.
Taken it calmly.
But why does this move from Pakistan sound so familiar to me?
After thinking about it, I quickly understood that "to express protest", "to restrain our own soldiers and domestic people", and even to block domestic news... Isn't this what our country often does?!
So I have every reason to believe that the Pakistani government actually did this on the advice of China. And for a long time in the future, China itself will have to do the same... It can only protest against other countries' provocations but not
Substantial actions. If you lack strength, you can only hide your capabilities and bide your time. Only when you have truly grown to the point where your fists are strong enough can you "make a difference". Otherwise, you will most likely be strangled by others under various excuses.
, this is the reality between countries.
"Under this situation, India has set its sights on China." Commander Wu said: "As I said before, they made some moves on the Sino-Indian border. When we protested against it diplomatically,
When asked, the answer was that India has the right to patrol areas north of the McMahon Line."
Hearing this, I almost spit out the sip of tea I just took into my mouth... There is such a nonsense excuse.
You must know that even the McMahon Line is not recognized by China. It is just a line drawn unilaterally by the British when they colonized India. Even the British colonists, the masters of India, have no ability to actually control it.
This line... was drawn by a British expedition, and it has always been "undemarcated" on the map because the Chinese government has not recognized it.
In other words, it would be good if India can get the area south of the McMahon Line. They also shamelessly said that they "have the right to patrol the area north of the McMahon Line." You must know that most of China's land is in the McMahon Line.
North of the flood 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 a war with us. What the superiors mean is... India is probably trying to fish in troubled waters. They have taken a good look at China's current situation of internal and external troubles.
They thought we would tolerate it like Pakistan, so we tried every means to gain more advantages on the border."
I couldn't help but nodded. Commander Wu's analysis was reasonable. If India really wanted to fight with us and initiate a provocation, it should use the same method as Pakistan, which is to hold a large-scale military campaign on the Sino-Indian border.
Then he "accidentally" fired several artillery shells into China.
But now India is not doing this. It is just using dirty tricks and some obviously untenable lies to fool people.
"This situation makes us very embarrassed." Commander Wu sighed after taking a sip of tea: "On the one hand, due to ten years, the transportation environment of our army on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has not improved much compared with 62.
However, India has established a special service bureau and several divisions of mountain troops, with supporting
We also have a relatively complete logistics supply line, and have introduced a large amount of advanced equipment from the United States and the Soviet Union. Now we have the support of the Mi-26, and its troop strength is about ten times that of ours... Especially at this time, our main force is basically along the Sino-Vietnamese border.
If we start a war lightly on the Sino-Indian border, the situation will not be optimistic!"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but smile.
I partially agree with what Commander Wu said. What I agree with is that at this time, the main force of our army was fighting fiercely with the Vietnamese on the Sino-Vietnamese border. Various reforms were still being carried out in the country and severe crackdowns on criminals were carried out. It is definitely not a good thing to start a war lightly.
.
What I disagree with is that Commander Wu imagined the Indian army to be too powerful.
However, this does not seem to be the fault of Commander Wu. At least on the surface, this is indeed the case for the Indian army. For example, India now has various advanced fighter jets purchased from Britain, France and other countries, as well as tanks, armored vehicles and helicopters purchased from the Soviet Union.
etc., its individual equipment was also rapidly updated after 1962, and was equipped with the British fn automatic rifle (that is, the standard rifle used by the Argentine and British troops in the Falklands War. India was originally a British colony, and after independence, it still used
Britain maintains close ties, and the military is no exception).
It can even be said that India has been fighting Pakistan for decades and has rich practical experience.
But the problem is that the Indian army is not a force capable of fighting. Its problems come from its internal contradictions and unsystematic equipment.
Take fighter planes as an example. There are British, French, and Soviet fighter planes. These fighter planes are very different in design style, and even the ammunition and parts used are different. This gives the fighter planes
Maintenance and logistics bring great pressure, and Indians
He is also a born optimist. No matter what happens, he will just be alright. Therefore, these fighter planes lack maintenance at all. Even if there is no war, half of these fighters bought at high prices can fly into the sky. It is good, and the ones that can fly into the sky are also good.
It falls down every once in a while...
Its individual weapons are still made by all countries, including the British fn, the Soviet ak, the American m16, and even the Enfield rifle is still in use during World War II.
One thing we all know is that if this rifle does not form a standard, it will definitely be a nightmare once a war breaks out, because it is difficult to know what type of bullets the frontline troops need during logistics supply, and that is why it is
There will be an emergency situation where the wrong bullets are sent and the frontline troops have no bullets available.
On the contrary, our army is much better than the Indian army in these aspects. The 56 semi, 56 punch and 81 barrel all use the same type of bullets. When fighting a war, we only need to send two kinds of ammunition: rifle bullets and machine gun bullets. Of course, if
If necessary, pistol ammunition is also needed.
More importantly, due to issues of caste and corruption, the Indian army's morale is seriously low and its cohesion is seriously lacking...High-caste soldiers can rise to the top without any effort, while low-caste soldiers are still at the lower levels even if they are beaten to death.
There is basically no hope of promotion. As for the issue of corruption, India
The Indian police blatantly accepted bribes on the streets. Most of the funds allocated to the army by the state fell into the hands of corrupt officials. Some Indian soldiers even lived on livestock feed, and their superiors nicknamed them "
"Devil Training". (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
