The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 1030 Peace and War

"Come, let's toast to our senior brothers Huang Qiang and Zhao Xing for their successful election as academicians!" Li Yuemin stood up and raised his glass.

Lin Xing also echoed: "It is a great joy that the two brothers were elected as academicians, and it should be made public!"

Li Yuemin and Lin Xing were also students of Liu Tao. They were in the same class as Liu Ziyu and Chen Nianzhen, and one class later than Huang Qiang and Zhao Hua.

Li Yuemin majored in engine at Beijing University of Technology, and later studied for a master's and doctoral degree under Liu Tao. After graduation, he went to the Automotive Research Institute and has participated in the development of three engines, one of which he was the general manager. He is now the director of the Engine Research Institute of the Automotive Research Institute.

Lin Xing was born in a poor family. By the time he took the college entrance examination, his family was heavily in debt and had no place to borrow money. They were unable to support him to go to college, and could not even afford the travel expenses. In the end, everyone in the village and town chipped in some money and eventually raised a sum of money for him to go to college. After graduating with a doctorate, he chose to stay at Panshan Research Institute to engage in automation research. He is now the director of the Institute of Automation, a professor at Southwest Associated University, and the head of the Automation Department.

Li Yuemin and Lin Xing have both married and had children. They got married and had children in the last year of their doctoral studies. Both of them are now National Outstanding Young Scientists and are on the candidate list for academician.

Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate Huang Qiang and Zhao Hua on their election as academicians.

The New Year fireworks show at this time seemed to be congratulating the two on becoming academicians.

The others all had envy in their eyes.

But they are still quite far away from becoming academicians.

Over the years, Liu Tao has taught a total of 14 students, and including Chen Weihong, there are 15 in total.

Except for Liu Ziyu and Chen Nianzhen who chose to start their own businesses, everyone else is either in research institutes or universities. Except for Chen Weihong who has not yet graduated, the others at least have the title of professor or researcher.

Among the 15 people, there are 5 academicians, 4 national outstanding young scientists and 5 provincial outstanding young scientists.

Although Liu Ziyu and Chen Nianzhen are entrepreneurs and academicians, they are also professors at Southwest Associated University and teach at the School of Software, with one class every week.

Although Yang Wei also drank, he did not drink too much. As the chief designer of the J-20, he would remain rational even when drinking to avoid saying something he shouldn't say after drinking too much, which would lead to leaks.

While the students were having a meal together, Liu Tao and his family were enjoying the fireworks show of Southwest Associated University.

This year's fireworks show at Southwest Associated University was particularly grand. Not only students from Southwest Associated University, but also students from surrounding universities came to watch the fireworks show.

The two little kids clapped their hands excitedly. Although they are already in the first grade, they still seem to be playful.

Liu Tao and Zhu Lin held hands and watched the fireworks show together.

A prosperous and splendid scene.

It was almost 10 o'clock before they went back.

Just after returning home, Liu Tao's cell phone rang. Liu Tao answered the call and then went to the study.

Open the notebook, open the mailbox, and look at the detailed information.

"India and Pakistan are fighting again!" Liu Tao raised his eyebrows.

As the two largest countries in the South Asian subcontinent, the two sides maintain a balance of power. Although there are constant frictions, there has not been a war in more than ten years.

India maintains a large-scale conventional army to deal with its neighboring countries, but it does not have good relations with its neighbors. It also wants to bully others, but its strength is relatively weak, which makes it seem like it is both green and playful.

Now, a new round of war has broken out.

The Indus River is the main river in Pakistan and an important source of agricultural irrigation water in Pakistan. Before the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947, the Indus River was second only to the Ganges River and was the greeting and commercial center of the region. The total length of the river is 2900 to 3200 kilometers. Indian civilization is also one of the earliest major civilizations in the world to enter agricultural civilization and settled society. The entire Indus River basin covers an area of ​​116.55 million square kilometers, of which 45.325 square kilometers are located in the Himalayas and its foothills, and the rest are in the semi-arid plains of Pakistan. The Indus River originates from the Shiquan River in Huaxia in the west of the Himalayas. After flowing from southeast to northwest through Kashmir, it turns southwest and runs through the entire territory of Pakistan, and flows into the Arabian Sea near Karachi.

India is named after the Indus River, but the Indus River is not located in India. This is also very strange.

Since losing Kashmir and the left bank of the Ganges, India has been unwilling to accept this.

If you want to expand your power, you must have territory, especially fertile land!

To the northwest is the Kashmir region and Khalistan. Khalistan maintains a standing army of 10 armies all year round, which is brave and good at fighting. In addition, the Sikhs account for more than 95% of the population there, and all of them believe in Sikhism, so they are not easy to mess with. To the south is the Deccan Plateau, which is a barren land. To the east is the East Indian Republic. The East Indian Republic and the South Indian Republic are brother countries and allies. One move will affect the whole body, and they are not rich either.

India's options are to go north across the Ganges, occupy the Ganges Plain, and drive Nepal back to its original place, or to advance westward to the Ganges Plain, or even cross the Ganges and take the Ganges for itself.

India chose to move westward, even though the Pakistani army had the advantage of terrain.

In order to implement this strategy, the Indian Army deployed a total of 40 ground forces, not just hundreds of aircraft.

The first to launch the attack were the planes!

As soon as the Indian planes took off and flew over, the Pakistani radar positions detected them and the air force base was dispatched urgently.

巴空军目前装备有77架F16、30架歼10、100架枭龙200架幻影III/V、177架歼7、50架歼8、280架歼6、7架预警机。

Except for a part deployed in the west, most of the air force is aimed at India.

At the first moment, a fierce air battle broke out between the two sides over the Ganges Plain.

The air force strength of both sides is about the same, and they know each other well and their levels are similar.

As the air battle broke out, balls of fire could be seen from time to time over the Gangetic Plain.

However, this sudden war did not attract any attention. Being on the fringe of geopolitics, it is always difficult to attract attention.

However, once the war between India and Pakistan reignited, the east, north, northeast, northwest and south became unstable, which can be said to be a chain reaction.

After all, India’s relations with its neighboring countries are very bad, and frictions often occur. No one wants to see the return of that great India.

As always, India chose to take a tough stance, sending large armies in all directions to compete, as if it was going to open up six fronts of battlefield at the same time.

The war on the other five fronts has not yet broken out, but friction has become more frequent.

But the war in the West was burning in full swing.

The air forces and armies of both sides have already engaged in a firefight.

Various modern weapons such as airplanes and tanks were put into the battlefield.

The Indian army is aggressive and determined to win; the Pakistani army is not a pushover either. The hatred accumulated over the years, coupled with religious conflicts between the two sides, can be said to be deep-seated. The Pakistani army has been very restrained by not taking the initiative to attack. If they retreat in the face of the Indian army's attack, they will have no chance of staying in Pakistan.

The air forces of both sides fought fiercely, and the armies were also extremely jealous of each other as they met their enemies.
