Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 193 Awakening
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, please allow me to speak." Intelligence Chief Charmain raised his head and asked to speak.Kahan tilted his head slightly and nodded in agreement.

"According to the information we have learned, Pakistan is secretly discussing with the Kabul government to use a local road to transport the No.11 Army to the south."

"The Prime Minister and I have heard about this conspiracy." Singh replied before the Prime Minister. Recently, he was very dissatisfied with Charmain's intelligence, which was always slow. There is a set.

"That's right, that's right. I think this time the Americans should also be a blow to the Kabul government. Since NATO can decisively declare the airspace of Afghanistan, it also has the right to decide the right to use the road built with the money of the United States, so I think the current Afghan government should feel the pressure, so the talks will definitely fail, and it is impossible for Pakistan to use that road to transport a few heavy troops southward. This is undoubtedly good news for General Spanga.” Director of Intelligence As he spoke, he glanced flatteringly at Spanga.But Spangayu was in a daze and didn't make any response. His attention was completely on the front line. Being brought back from the front line to attend such a boring meeting made the lieutenant general feel very helpless. A small half of the troops of the Indus.There is also the situation that the northern flank has been breached. The latest intelligence shows that the smart ammunition dropped by the enemy has completely wiped out the most ferocious 50th Tank Regiment under his command.And to make matters worse, now that the 16th Infantry Division was divided, Janaguri was crying for help every hour.

"Hmm. Very wise judgment." The Prime Minister nodded again feebly. "But folks, the meteorological geologists at the University of Delhi told me that this year the upper Jhelum River is not as full of water as in previous years, and the flood near Multan will gradually subside at the beginning of this month, a week earlier than we expected. That is Said they still have a chance to fight back."

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. I have also received similar information. The Israeli intelligence agency also gave the same judgment. They have made several observations with the synthetic aperture radar satellite over the Indian Ocean, and they have seen a trend of narrowing of the riverbed. Pakistani The diversion in the upstream is also doing well."

"Does that mean their army can go south soon?" the Prime Minister asked worriedly.

"It's useless, isn't it, General?" Singer hurriedly asked Spanga beside him.

"I don't think so." Spanga, who had been silent all this time, spoke up.

"It depends on the extent of China's involvement. If they regain part of the air supremacy, the counterattack may still be successful. Your Excellency, I wonder what kind of reply the Foreign Minister got in BJ?"

"It's not the same old way." Singh replied in front of the prime minister. "BJ hypocritically asked both sides to restrain, and then wantonly favored Fort ***. Humph, but their excessive involvement in this war has caused dissatisfaction in the United States."

"I don't see any positive value for the dissatisfaction of the Americans to our current battle." Spanga pushed the minister back rudely.Singer didn't take it seriously, he had always admired the lieutenant general's style, at least he was merciless to the enemy, much better than the former chief of staff who was doing bad things in the dark.

"Please allow me to add one more sentence," Charman said, "Pakistan forcibly took back the US military's Shamsi base and handed it over to the Chinese JH-7 troops. regime, it will also lead to an eventual rupture between the United States and China, which is the greatest benefit we can hope for.”

No sooner had he finished than the weary prime minister smiled again.The Foreign Office always brought him bad news and bad judgment, while Charmain and Singer could turn things around.Even if China places an air force in the south of Pakistan near the Arabian Sea that threatens India's transportation lines, it would be a good thing in Chamain's view.

"Okay, speaking of which, I have to mention that these bombers threatened our air route this morning. And where is our aircraft carrier?" Kahan asked.

"Uh... The Villant is currently undergoing maintenance on the berth in Cochin." Singer replied cautiously.

"Didn't it be overhauled last month?"

"There is something wrong with the propulsion system again. One of the gas turbines is abnormal, but there is currently a lack of parts. Because of the incompetence of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it is very troublesome to obtain parts from General Motors."

"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about your way of coping?"

"It's very simple. We should follow the original plan and immediately retaliate against them. Dispatching warships will also cause trouble for their routes." Singer immediately said seriously. He had held this idea in his stomach for a long time. Diplomacy He never dared to speak out when the minister was present.What he hated most was that Chandra glanced up and down at him every time, like looking at an illiterate fool.

"I think it's better to wait for Chandra to come back before discussing military means. The Chinese's approach is obviously to show that they have an equivalent strike capability in the Indian Ocean. We have to prepare for the worst. Oh, yes, Mr. Director, How's the investigation I asked you to do?" The Prime Minister suddenly changed the subject again.

"What investigation?" Singer asked blankly. He didn't even know about the investigation that the Prime Minister explained, which made him feel out of favor.

"It's like this. Last month, the Prime Minister asked our intelligence agency to investigate China's oil reserves. In order to compare with our situation." Charmain said and opened his notebook. "The investigation conclusion of the intelligence bureau is this. As of the first half of this year, China's strategic reserves have exceeded 7500 million tons. They started the strategic oil reserve plan a few years ago, and the efficiency is very high. This has not counted them. Our own oil fields can be over-exploited. And our reserves are much less, the current accurate figure is 570 million tons. This is the case. In addition, our oil is completely dependent on the Persian Gulf and Africa, and their import structure , It’s better geographically, they have oil pipelines from Russia, and direct flights to Venezuelan supertankers.” Charmain closed the blank notebook again after speaking.

"Look, we can't break with them too soon in the Indian Ocean. We can't afford the consequences either," the prime minister said.

"Just because they secretly deployed a few insignificant fighter-bombers, we have to change our established policy?" Singer shouted.

"If our two aircraft carriers can take on the responsibility of defense, of course I will support your established plan. Or, you can let the air force completely destroy the Shamsi base."

Singer stopped resentfully. The Air Force is still unable to penetrate that far to destroy this damn base on the side of the Iranian border.The Chinese almost used the smallest cost to threaten India's overall plan, and turned passive into active, which made him very annoyed.He planned to go back and find the commander of the tactical missile force to discuss the possibility of using missiles to solve the problem.

"Okay, let the general speak about the specific progress of the war." The prime minister finally remembered the original purpose of this meeting.

"Yes, Prime Minister."

Spanga stood up and walked to the map. This kind of verbal thing can be done by sending a staff officer from the army headquarters, but Singh Fei pulled him away from the front line, which made him very reluctant and wanted to curry favor with the prime minister. It's not his desire nor his strong suit.

"Before I left the front line. Our army has crushed the enemy's counterattack in several directions. Engineers have completed 8 pontoon bridges in Sukkur. Our mechanized troops have crossed the geographical barrier of the Indus River in an organized way .There will soon be a decisive ground battle with the enemy in the South."

"Great." Singer said excitedly.

"Well, the enemy has no other choice. Their remaining forces in the south will be forced to fight us. They cannot match us in terms of strength and firepower. And the Giltel Mountains behind them will cut off their retreat. , at least their heavy equipment has no escape."

"If this battle is won, the whole war will be won?" the Prime Minister asked urgently.

"It's almost like this. Our sharp point is the narrowest bee waist in Pakistan. If we win, our army will cut off the enemy's territory as quickly as possible and extend the assault arrows to the border of Afghanistan. Thus making Baluchistan Sindh and Sindh are de facto separated from the control of the Fortress. And you have been worried about the Chinese Air Force base in Balochistan and the threat posed by those tactical bombers to the Indian Ocean routes will also be lifted together.”

"Well, very good." Kahan nodded very seriously. "But I wonder what they're going to do? Is there a chance?"

"They have a chance now, this morning, my flank was breached by their northern armored units. Their 190st Armored Division vanguard cut off one of my infantry divisions," Spanga said, gesturing with his hand on the map. All of a sudden, it roughly pointed out the area where the heartless teacher caused him great passivity. "Now their tank units have the initiative to maneuver in all directions, and it is likely to form some echoes with the enemy's collapse in the south. There is a distance of 31 kilometers. Once I return to the former enemy, I will send the most powerful White Tiger Armored Division of the 20st Army and all the air forces to fight against it. I will try to defeat it within [-] hours to eliminate future troubles.”

"It will definitely work, hit them hard." Singer said fiercely from the side.

"It's all delivered to you, my general." The Prime Minister stood up suddenly, walked slowly to the map, and shook hands with Spanga.

"Your Excellency, I will do my best." Spanga replied calmly, without seeming overly flattered.Nor has a firm commitment been given to the prime minister.

10 kilometers north of Alipur.Yahini's consciousness is still very vague, he vaguely felt that there was a figure shaking in front of his eyes, but he couldn't see clearly and couldn't remember who this figure was.

"There is still a heartbeat, we have to give him artificial respiration quickly. Otherwise he will suffocate to death." A voice said.

"Okay, you lay him down and I'll do it," replied another.It was Sergeant Tasim with the beard.

Yahini desperately opened his eyes, startling Tasim.

"What happened, we were hit?"

"Thank God you're alright," the driver said.

Axiyou struggled to get up, checked his body, and found that no arms or legs were missing. He found it incredible that once the tank was penetrated, someone would always be injured.
