Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 201
"You mean we still have a tacit agreement with India on the issue of oil transportation lines?"

"That's right. Their foreign minister just left yesterday. They made a new round of threats against us. Of course, their threats do have some confidence. The main reason is that the Indian Navy can go to Malacca in the Arabian Sea at any time. capacity. Minister Chandra said harsh words and asked us to confirm the reality and stop aid to Pakistan immediately."

"The route in the Indian Ocean is indeed a weakness of ours. It would be incredible if they didn't take advantage of it," Lin Huaisheng said.He has studied Indian leaders thoroughly over the years, but he couldn't imagine what Chandra would look like when he was furious.

"Our Air Force Expeditionary Group (JH7) has conducted several near-arrival flights to Indian cargo ships, demonstrating our intelligence capabilities and combat capabilities in the Arabian Sea. However, the analysis of the General Staff shows that our mere dozen or so aircraft are capable of The threat posed by Indian tankers on this route is only a few tenths of the threat that the Indian navy and air force may pose to us."

"Yeah, it's really out of proportion." Lin Huaisheng suddenly laughed.

"What's so funny about that."

"I just think this is a good move, and it is very cost-effective in terms of return rate. At least now India is still very afraid of our planes."

"So, this is the scary part. The main fighters in the Indian cabinet will definitely use similar data to overwhelm other opinions and gain the upper hand. There is also the assessment of the General Staff that the navy is more operable to interfere with the transportation line than the bomber. If the other party exercises the right of the navy to board the ship for inspection, but we rashly launch missiles at non-military targets, how will the international public opinion react? Obviously, this is also a big problem above.”

"It is indeed a trouble. So what do you think of the above?"

"It's still under discussion, but some opinions tend to reach a minimum deterrent balance with India, such as preventing the dispatch of the Pakistani Navy and Air Force in the Arabian Sea."

"In war, such an agreement is meaningless whether it is reached or not. Only equal threats can prevent the other party from taking risks." Lin Huaisheng said bluntly.He didn't believe that the face had already been torn apart, and the two sides could still scruple about the severity of the shot.

"Hehe, so the superior still wants to hear your opinion." Xu Jingzhe said after taking a sip of tea.

"If you want to ask my opinion, it is better to let go and support Pakistan's operation. It is the best if it is successful, and it will be a shock if it is not successful."

"Support?" The old man frowned, obviously this argument was beyond his expectation, and he didn't find any internal logic in Lin Huaisheng's conclusive words for the time being.

"I think if you look at the current war situation, you should support Pakistan to attack the naval bases off the coast of India. Attack their fleet."

Xu Jingzhe nodded reluctantly. According to his temper, if Lin Huaisheng murmured silently and didn't get to the point, he would scold him.

"The current situation is allowed to develop. The reality is that Pakistan is about to die. This is only because the Indian Army has a strong-willed commander. He acts completely in accordance with reason. He has not taken any action to rescue a besieged entire division. It is strong, which is different from the impulsive Singh. I must say that if the fight is carried out according to his established plan, in a few weeks this war will be over soon, and Pakistan will become several parts. "

"So what?" the major general asked, suppressing Huo.Lin Huaisheng's persuasive performance made him very unaccustomed. He couldn't imagine this student who was not very active in the back of the classroom 10 years ago.Now he is putting eye medicine on himself in front of him with a high spirit.

"If the surprise attack on the Cochin slipway is successful, it will undoubtedly be an earthquake in the Indian political circle. At that time, it is very likely to change their established combat plan. This will undoubtedly save Pakistan."

The major general nodded, and he began to understand what Lin Huaisheng meant.For many years, he had never gotten to know Lin Huaisheng seriously. He felt that Lin Huaisheng's qualifications were mid-level and his personality was weird, so he wasn't worth spending more time cultivating.However, he recently discovered that Lin Huaisheng not only made up for his weakness with hard work, but also revealed some unique insight. With a strange mind, he can see details that others cannot see through.However, if there is any weakness in him, Xu Jingzhe saw a gambler's temperament in him, just like Lin Huaisheng saw in Singer.This is a typical reckless impulse of junior officers. Sometimes this impulse is the source of victory, but it can easily lead to the opposite.So Xu Jingzhe tends to think that Lin Huaisheng is just an excellent staff member rather than a general.

"Teacher, Cochin has always been the safest base for the Indian Navy on the west coast. It is 1800 kilometers away from the nearest Pakistani base, the Mesur base. So they entrusted the task of repairing and manufacturing aircraft carriers there. If Cochin What will the Indian government do if it is hit?" Lin Huaisheng asked in a nonchalant manner.

The major general sat there calmly, so he would not answer Lin Huaisheng's simple questions like a subordinate, so he just waited for Lin Huaisheng to speak.

"Obviously, the answer is yes," Lin Huaisheng himself replied, "The Indian Ministry of Defense will strictly order Spanga's troops to abandon their westward offensive and turn southward, completely smashing Karachi's air force and naval base. Pakistan's chaotic ground deployment will To get a brief respite, they can take a few steps back from the brink."

"Are you so sure?"

"No, sir, but at the moment we can only gamble. If there is one thing in this game of value that can force Spanga to turn back, it is obviously the aircraft carrier. I believe that will overthrow the entire decision-making of the Indian government The final weight"

"There is an old saying in China that you will not accept the orders of your ruler abroad. Spanga may be able to withstand the pressure from above."

"However, in the history of wars in ancient and modern China and abroad, is there any general who is truly free from the constraints of his superiors?"

"Have you ever thought about the negative issues? Like the possible consequences of Kahan's government becoming angry."

"Since they can send ambassadors to threaten us instead of directly sending warships to mess around in the Indian Ocean, it shows that they are still afraid. According to my guess, even if they dare to take the last step, they have to wait until the army is level. After pushing the air force base in the whole of southern Brazil, our few bombers are enough to check and balance them before that."

"Are you really that optimistic?"

"Yes, if their armored forces turn around and head south, it will have a very positive effect on the situation of the battle. The Pakistani troops in the north can seize the opportunity of the flood retreat and go south. This is how I calculate the account. "

"Okay, I will report your opinion. However, it is too late for weapon support. If they do something tonight, the only weapons they can use are 2 J-11BS and a few Eagle Strike missiles. I am afraid they will not succeed. " said the major general.

"If you ask me, it will never succeed." Lin Huaisheng said without hesitation.

"You think it won't succeed?" The major general waved his hand to let Lin Huaisheng continue. He could hardly stand Lin Huaisheng's inconsistent statements.

"I studied the port of Cochin. The Indians did not take precautions. Recently, two 290-meter-long Panamax-class freighters have been parked next to the aircraft carrier at any time. This is a long-distance attack without relay guidance and only by inertial navigation. It’s an insurmountable identification problem for the missiles. You know the missiles are always heading for bigger targets. And the Villant is only 230 meters long. She’s actually not that big in profile.”

"Maybe it will hit one."

"If it doesn't hit the nail on the head, it can only delay the maintenance of the Villant for a few weeks at most."

"Maybe."

"However, in my opinion, even if it hits an ordinary ship in the port, the military and political effects will gradually emerge. We can expect the Indian Ministry of Defense to put pressure on Spanga to change him. Lines of attack. Singh is a headstrong, hands-on guy, and once he loses his patience with Spanga, I think things will work out for the better."

"If everything is as you expected, then we can only hope that they can gamble on the fortune of the country." The major general shook his head and said.

"By the way, what kind of technical support are they asking us for?"

"If you want long-range airborne cruise missiles, the higher authorities have not yet decided whether to grant them. The area we are currently assisting is limited to the land borders of Pakistan. This has also been communicated to their foreign minister. If cruise missiles are used The horse's feet are a bit big. Speaking of which, this war is really strange. On the one hand, it is a big fight, but on the other hand, it is still talking about proportion."

"Speaking of stealthy attacks, I think that if we have an attack nuclear submarine in the Indian Ocean, it might help a lot. It is a covert method, and it is difficult for the other party to find out who did it." Lin Huaisheng said lightly. said.

Xu Jingzhe glanced at him and sneered noncommittally: "Don't think about these far-fetched things. If the Indian fleet is really torpedoed, it will also be the record of the Pakistan Navy."

"Yes."

"Okay, within two hours, write your thoughts into a report and give it to my confidential officer, he will handle it properly. I will go to RKZ immediately."

"The higher-ups want the assessment report of the new armored mixed force?" Lin Huaisheng tried again without knowing the depth, and this time he finally pissed off the major general.

"What's wrong with you? Is this something you inquired about?" Xu Jingzhe was really angry. It's not that Lin Huaisheng guessed something. He said these words to imply Lin Huaisheng on purpose.The kid who really made him dissatisfied has been getting carried away recently, and such signs must be suppressed.
