The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 454 The situation is turbulent

There has been a ceasefire in the Kashmir region for several months.

Because after October, the bad weather in Kashmir is no longer suitable for fighting.

After October, all parties gradually entered a period of rest and recuperation.

India is naturally unwilling to accept this, but the severe weather in Kashmir is really not suitable for further war. Otherwise, no matter how many troops there are, they will suffer from large areas of frostbite before the battle even starts, or even be frozen to death.

With the ceasefire in the Kashmir region, the pressure is shifted to Sikkim and Bhutan.

Almost all the casualties among special forces were caused in the past few months.

Although disrupting transportation, destroying bridges, and conducting guerrilla warfare blocked the Indian army's eastward advance, the special forces also suffered heavy casualties.

"We have half-sold and half-given them 56 Type 10 semi-automatic rifles, hundreds of millions of bullets, thousands of machine guns, as well as artillery, mountain cannons and other cannons and artillery shells, and have earned a total of 15 billion US dollars and tons of gold." Zhao Guoping introduced the transactions with several newly established countries.

Of course, this transaction was not based on the Southwest Ordnance Industry Group, but through the Burmese guerrillas, and had nothing to do with the Southwest Ordnance Industry Group.

After being connected together, transportation and support of weapons and equipment becomes much easier.

"Is the coalition they formed combat-ready?" Liu Tao couldn't help but ask.

Four hundred thousand allied forces still sounds scary.

However, Liu Tao was very skeptical about the combat effectiveness of the 400,000-strong coalition force.

Li Fuguo said: "It is not clear in this regard, but the people in this area are relatively brave and good at fighting, and the red regimes in Kerala, West Bengal and Tripura have already taken action."

India has a communist party. The first red regime appeared in Kerala in 1957. In 1977, it successfully seized power in West Bengal and Tripura. The red regime has bases in three states.

This reflects the complexity of India. There are more than one hundred ethnic groups, of which the largest ethnic group, the Hindustani, accounts for less than half of the population.

It can be said that a lot has happened in the South Asian subcontinent in the past year.

The biggest role of the special forces there is to blow up bridges and roads, carry out surprise decapitations, blow up arsenals, and blow up material warehouses.

This has meant that the Indian army has not been able to gather on a large scale and launch an attack as it had desired so far.

As for small-scale attacks, they could not break through the defensive positions at all.

"What about the 'Vanguard' air defense missiles, anti-aircraft machine guns and the 'Aegis' air defense missile system? Have they been delivered to the Democratic Independence Alliance?" Liu Tao asked.

Zhao Guoping nodded and said, "We have transported 600 Vanguard air defense missile launchers and 3000 Vanguard air defense missiles, 100 anti-aircraft machine guns and 100 million rounds of anti-aircraft machine gun bullets. The Aegis air defense missile system is expected to arrive in Sikkim in half a month."

The Indian army has absolute air superiority. Bhutan and Sikkim have very few fighter jets, while the Democratic Independence Alliance has only about 100 aircraft in total, and none of them are advanced aircraft.

If we want to offset the Indian army’s air advantage, we must strengthen our air defense capabilities.

This makes that area an air restricted area, forming a no-fly zone.

Now that it has become a no-fly zone, it doesn't matter how many planes the Indian army has, because it will be difficult to achieve results and they will suffer heavy losses.

Liu Tao will definitely support the Democratic Independence Alliance.

It has nothing to do with ideology, it’s all about interests. The entire 20 square kilometers of the Democratic Independence Alliance will eventually form a federal state, or a confederation, or a red regime. Liu Tao is happy to see it, as long as it doesn’t belong to the third brother.

South Asia does not need a hegemon!
Hegemony is not a good thing. It is best for everyone to live in harmony.

And just when Liu Tao stayed at the Panshan Group headquarters to deal with things.

Punjab, Indian subcontinent.

It is located in northwest India, bordering Pakistan and south of the Kashmir region.

Punjab means the land of five rivers. Looking from the sky, there are five rivers here: Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas and Sutlej, all converging here. The winding rivers and abundant water sources have brought prosperity here.

The huge irrigation canal network and numerous tube wells have made the irrigated area account for more than half of the cultivated land. Wheat, corn, rice, millet, barley, beans, cotton, sugarcane, potatoes and oil crops are grown here. It is India's largest commercial grain base and high-quality cotton producing area.

The people living here are mainly Sikhs.

There is also Punjab in Pakistan. It is the product of the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947. The entire Punjab was divided into two, and large-scale riots broke out at that time.

Later, the people here settled down temporarily. They lived on their own land, adhered to their own beliefs, and continued to integrate.

The Sikhs have their own beliefs. Those towering temples constantly tell their history. They started in the 15th century. Punjab is their birthplace. They once fought against the British army and drove out the colonists. They are also a glorious people.

Since the outbreak of the fourth Indo-Pakistani war last year, Punjab has begun to show signs of instability.

The conflict between Sikhs and Indians is getting bigger and bigger, because this is already the front line. As an important agricultural production area in the South Asian subcontinent, the food here is of great importance to the whole of India, and most of the food is supplied to the Indian army to support their food, drink, defecation and urination in Kashmir.

The Indian army suffered a series of heavy losses in the Kashmir region. The Sikkim and Bhutan guerrillas and the Democratic Independence League were established, and the Indian Communist Party's red regime also captured a state. The Indian government gradually lost its authority.

Add to that the activities of Sikh democratic and liberal activists, and there is already unrest here.

In 1984, India's mother was killed by her bodyguard. It turned out that the bodyguard was a Sikh. The origin of the incident was that in 1984, India's mother ordered the army to attack and destroy the Sikhs' holy place, the Golden Temple. The bodyguard was a Sikh. The bodyguard assassinated India's mother in order to avenge her own holy place.

Last year, the Indian army brazenly launched a war. This was not only because its foundation was not stable, but it also wanted to shift the conflict outward in order to rally people’s hearts and gather reputation. However, it did not expect that the plan would not be as good as the changes, which caused a chain reaction.

After more than a year of drastic changes, the entire Punjab has become a powder keg.

Unknowingly, democratic and liberal activists have formed an armed force of 20,000 people.

They have realized that it is impossible to gain independence through negotiations, and the only way to achieve national independence is to establish power through the barrel of a gun.

At this moment, a very important meeting is being held in a building.

They want to take advantage of the fact that the Indian army is moving large forces to the south and east and seize this opportunity to achieve national independence.

The Sikhs have a population of 13 million. Most of their land is plain and fertile, suitable for growing food. They should not be exploited, but should establish an independent nation and have their own country.

Since the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947, the Sikhs have never given up their beliefs or their pursuit of national independence.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance!

The oppressed Sikhs decided to launch an armed resistance and establish their own country.
