Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 296 The Mystery of Weather Reconnaissance
After Kahan slowly woke up from the nightmare, he saw a big blurry face shaking in front of his eyes. He knew it was Singh's face. He hoped that the Minister of Defense could bring him some good news.

"Prime Minister, you are finally awake. The doctor said you will be fine, and I have good news," Singer said, sure enough.

"Oh?" Kahan struggled to get up with the help of a doctor.

"It's the United States, and the Americans are willing to help us."

This sentence was like a panacea, and Khan almost stood up. He reached out and grabbed Singer, waiting for him to speak; of course, he couldn't help but wonder why the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not deliver such good news.

"Tell me?"

"They are willing to restore the secret information sharing platform with us, and simultaneously provide information about the CCP's Chinese Air Force on the Afghan border. Especially the early warning aircraft. And we provide them with other information about the CCP."

"Is that so?"

Kahan was a little disappointed. The original intention of the United States to use India as cannon fodder and consume China has not changed much. They are not even willing to openly help.Due to his ignorance of the military, he is not interested in these sneaky help. If the United States can issue a statement condemning China, that is what he wants most at the moment.Now the whole free world is watching, watching and the attitude of the United States, while the United States seems to care about India taking a chestnut from the fire, but clings to its old South Asian geopolitical theory. In their logic, India is just a big chess game Any westward expansion would be wrong to check and balance part of China.

"Yes, militarily significant. If we can shoot down their AWACS, their air defense will be over. I guarantee that."

"I hope so." Kahan said, he did not hear the great significance of Singh's words. Singh promised more victories with empty words, and now only a part of it has been fulfilled.It's hard to say that this was not deliberately exaggerated by Singer to comfort himself, but since the United States is willing to restore this platform, it is better than dragging it.They have been asking India to share its electronic monitoring system in the eastern foothills of the Himalayas. It is not new for the CIA to intervene in the special forces formed by Tibetans. They even want to get their hands on the monitoring stations in the Andaman Islands. Khan has been ambiguous about these demands, but now it's time to take the long view.

"Their air force has been operating close to the border, not only the early warning aircraft, but also their transport aircraft. It's time to cut off this corridor." Singer still said unsatisfactorily.

"Then you just let go and do it."

"In addition, the Americans are willing to relax some arms sales, including Apache helicopters and P8 anti-submarine aircraft. Of course, some payments will be increased. Some aircraft parts will also be paid at the new exchange rate."

Kahan snorted. He knew that these were things that had been ordered many years ago and most of the money had been paid for. Anyway, in terms of diplomacy, India is still more popular than China. After all, things can still be bought.

After walking out of the prime minister's ward, Singh bumped into the chief intelligence officer, Charmain, who was one of the eight people who knew about the prime minister's condition. Greatly boost the morale of the opponent.After all, the whole incident was too dramatic-the Indian Prime Minister fainted and became unconscious immediately after hearing that the army was destroyed. Once it was spread, it would definitely make the enemy make a big fuss.Now this matter must be treated as top secret.

"What news from you?" Singer asked absently.

"I'm afraid that's exactly what you're worried about, our enemies are spreading 'rumors', China's Global Times article in the morning, they say that Prime Minister Khan may have suffered a stroke due to the loss of the war, and has passed out, they are trying to confuse Audiovisually, portray this setback as a major turning point."

"It's nonsense. The prime minister didn't have a stroke at all. I knew there was an insider in the top management, and they knew everything immediately." Singer looked at his watch. The prime minister had fainted for four hours, and the news had obviously spread. Go out and be used by the opponent.

"Today, the prime minister must speak on TV, otherwise, they will pre-emptively spread rumors inside New Delhi, and the common people love to believe them," Charman said.

"It is very necessary. I see that the domestic situation is a bit abnormal recently, and the lurking enemy is just around the corner."

"If you're referring to the separatist guerrillas in the southeast, it's been quiet recently. It's been almost three months since they last attacked the police station."

"This is exactly what I'm worried about. Their actions seem to have become unpredictable. Are they planning some bigger conspiracy?"

"BJ will not not play this card. After all, we have been playing the Dharamshala card for many years. However, we have been closely monitoring the ports in Bangladesh and have not found any suspicious ships that may be reloading weapons. .”

"From Assam..."

"It's absolutely impossible. The Ministry of Internal Affairs' strict and efficient control can completely rule out this possibility." Charmain rushed to say, and his eagerness to express his opinion made Singer feel that it was actually possible.

"I'm planning to assign part of the special forces of Luosang Tashi to the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Singer said slowly.Charmain didn't know whether Singer was testing his ambitions, so he decided not to talk about it.

"The people of Luosang Zhaxi are still very effective, maybe they can be expanded into a brigade." Singer said to himself.The military has always been wary of Tibetans, so they don’t want these troops to have a large establishment, so the highest military rank of Luosang Tashi and his like is captain. In fact, only the Tibetan troops of Luosang Tashi are already small and large. up.The battle situation is pressing now, and Singer is planning to get rid of prejudices.

"That's right." Charmain responded cautiously, he didn't want to get involved in such a thing.

"By the way, how's your...inside line?"

Charmain looked around. They were alone in the corridor at the moment.

"They have a hard-line south war plan, possibly bringing in new heavy fighter units to Peshawar, plus they have 6 regiments of air force throughout the XZ, more units at airfields on the second tier, several sets have been drawn up There is a plan to attack Srinagar, but the final decision is still at the highest level and nothing will happen."

"Didn't they... formulate... an air strike plan against New Delhi?" Singh asked hesitantly.

"There is no information in this regard, but logically speaking, there will always be some air strike plans aimed at New Delhi, but political factors will definitely be considered whether they are implemented or not."

"This country is really terrible." Singer sighed sincerely. For the first time, he clearly realized that if he broke away from political restrictions, China could use more means than India, no matter in terms of war potential, industrialization degree, Or geographically, the advantage is not on India's side.He couldn't help but start to feel a little scared, if the Chinese army suddenly attacked from the condescending north like it did in 1962.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General Meneam has been monitoring the enemy's ground troops in Aksai Chin. For the time being, they are still the same and have not exceeded the size of a brigade. However, supplies have been hoarding continuously."

"Speaking of which, only the direction of Assam is quiet." Singer said.

"Oh, by the way, this morning, the antiaircraft artillery unit at the front of Assam shot down a Chinese drone. Recently, they have been wandering around the hills in the upper reaches of the Brahmaputra River. They seem to be taking pictures or they may be Mapping the terrain. So far, we have shot down six drones of the same model, and they are still coming.”

"Hell, can you figure out their real purpose?"

"It's very difficult. These planes use encryption to transmit image signals and have self-destruct devices, so it's hard to figure out the situation. The unmanned plane that was shot down in the morning also carried a radiosonde, and it seems that it is still performing some kind of weather observation mission. .”

"Weather observation?"

"Yes, specifically, physical observations of cloud conditions, but I haven't figured out why they care about that?"

Singer thought about it for a while, but he also had no idea. If the other party just wanted to launch an air strike, there was obviously no need to observe the clouds and fog on the river.

"In addition, our team in Myanmar found out that the Chinese Communist Party's helicopters have been operating in the northeast of Gaoligong Mountain on the Myanmar border recently. They are dispatched sooner or later, mainly Mi-17 transport aircraft."

"What the hell are you doing?"

"Maybe not for us," said Charmain, shrugging. "Flying over Burma is a stupid way to smuggle weapons into Assam."

"Send more people to watch?" Singer said helplessly, his heart was overdrawn, and he couldn't think more about things other than war.

According to the last air strike, just a few hours later, Srinagar has been shrouded in the shadow of the Chinese Air Force's stand-off electronic jammers. On most of the old models of radar screens, there are always noise interference fans with a large angle. This makes it difficult for the ground to keep track of the movements of the enemy air force.Even the F16 of the Pakistan Air Force took advantage of the interference and launched a counterattack. Several bombs fell near the headquarters of the 7th Mountain Division Artillery Regiment.It has been almost a month since the Pakistani air force over Kashmir disappeared.

"They're doing electronic jamming again, maybe they'll hit here with penetrating bombs?" the lieutenant general thought wildly.

"43 Squadron has taken off 4 Tejas fighter jets from New Delhi, and they will arrive soon. I hope their radars can see something."

"Singh is an idiot who left all his planes in New Delhi. God knows how long Kohui can stay here. One day, he will find out how stupid it is to drive Pasad away."

Lieutenant General Meneam could only complain in the underground command room.Neither the advanced fighter squadron nor the S300 missile unit he asked for was given to him. He was only given a squadron of glorious MKI fighter jets. This kind of fighter jet needs a long runway when landing, so it cannot be stationed at the front-line airport in Leh.

The Ministry of National Defense has been planning a new air force transfer plan. In the plan, some third-generation aircraft squadrons that originally belonged to the south will be transferred to the north, mainly MiG-29s that cannot continue to play a role in the south due to range problems. to defend the north.But these planes were finally mobilized around New Delhi, which inevitably made the lieutenant general angry.

The operation to pull out the ground radar is still going on, and the fighter-bomber unit of the Chinese Air Force, under the cover of powerful electronic interference, attacked again.This time the target is a large number of fixed strongholds and artillery positions, the most important of which is the FH77 howitzer position.Since these towed howitzers have a certain degree of maneuverability, satellite-guided bombs appear powerless. This attack must be carried out with laser-guided bombs.And such an attack cannot be launched outside the enemy's defense zone, so the electronic interference outside the area and the electronic interference with the team become extremely important.
