The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 1058 Inspection
At the southern foot of the Himalayas, it is warm and rainy in summer because of the southwest monsoon blowing from the Indian Ocean with a lot of moisture and heat. Many tropical and subtropical crops can be grown here. This land, which covers an area of ​​30 square kilometers, is fertile and rich in products, and can be called another Jiangnan.

Through more than ten years of efforts, trains are connected to every county here, and national, provincial, county and township roads cover the entire southern slope. The "five-connection project" of water, electricity, roads, communications and the Internet has been realized in the southern slope area.

The entire southern slope is also China's frontier position facing South Asia, and its importance is self-evident.

By now, the entire southern slope has basically achieved self-sufficiency and no longer needs to transport supplies from the rear.

This place is also known as a land of miracles, and it has entered the era of modernization in just over a decade.

Liu Tao even saw tourists from other provinces here, and this place has become a tourist destination.

However, at the military training base, intensive training is being carried out, including training for machine gunners, snipers, and gunners.

At this point, Liu Tao had to change his thinking.

Even if the war in South Asia cannot be quelled in a short period of time, we will not hesitate to fight for ten or even twenty years.

This is a matter of geopolitical game and there is no room for retreat.

If you take a step back, your opponent will not stop but will only take one or even two steps forward.

This is a life-and-death struggle that does not allow for any compromise.

To be honest, Liu Tao did not expect that the Pakistani Navy won such a great victory this time. It was so unexpected.

Previously, the Pakistani Navy ranked higher than the Indian Navy in the world for many years, but in fact the gap in strength between the two is not that great.

In particular, the Indian Navy has purchased a large number of Polar Bear frigates and destroyers, and its strength has surpassed that of the Pakistani Navy.

However, in this naval battle, the Indian Navy suffered heavy losses, and the naval strength accumulated over decades was lost in one day.

Although the warships purchased from the polar bear have arrived in India, it will take time for the warships to be put into combat effectiveness, which may take one or two years at the shortest and three or four years at the longest.

During this period, the Pakistani Navy is in an absolute advantage and can launch attacks on any city in the Indian coastal area at will.

It was worth it that Liu Tao specially dispatched a Type 818 electronic reconnaissance ship to go to the Maldives for vacation.

Coupled with the radar positions in the Himalayas, it is possible to grasp every move of the enemy's air force, which can be said to have greatly weakened the advantages of the Indian Air Force.

After inspecting the southern foothills of the Himalayas, Liu Tao returned to Kunming. A few days later, on Friday evening, he picked up his children who had just finished school, and they came to the Maldives for vacation.

The Maldives has become a world-class resort.

Many people from all over the world come here for vacation every year.

There are many water villas built in the Maldives, and many people who come here live in the water villas.

This time, Liu Tao and his friends also stayed in a water house, where the sky was blue and the clouds were pure, and the sea was clear and blue, making it very suitable for traveling.

In recent years, the entire Maldives has been called "the necklace God has thrown into the world" and "the last paradise in the Indian Ocean" by the world.

Signs can be seen everywhere, with both Chinese and English written on them.

As a tourist destination, the population density here is quite high and most things have to be shipped in from outside, so the prices are not low.

Here, you can see Chinese people working and traveling everywhere, and of course you can also see people from other countries.

Zhu Lin took the two children out for fun, while Liu Tao took a helicopter to the Type 818 electronic reconnaissance ship.

Then we came to the command room, which was quite spacious.

Here, information about the entire battlefield can be continuously obtained through reconnaissance satellites, "Haidongqing" unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and its own electronic equipment.

In modern warfare, the importance of informationized combat capability is fully demonstrated. Whoever has stronger informationized combat capability will have an advantage on the battlefield.

"Commander, the Pakistani Navy is at this location now!" The commander pointed at 'Daman' on the ground.

Daman is a port city in India with a population of approximately 19.

This is also a material transit point, and a lot of materials are transported from here to the front line.

Once the Pakistani Navy attacks here, it will inevitably cause considerable trouble for the supply of materials and ammunition to the Indian front line.

The current fighting area between the two sides is actually in the Thar Desert.

It is true that the Thar Desert is a desert, but unlike the uninhabited desert in everyone’s impression, the Thar Desert is not only the smallest desert in the world, but also the most densely populated desert in the world.

In the entire Thar Desert, there are millions of Indians and Pakistanis combined.

In terms of logistical supply, India is relatively difficult.

Pakistan, on the other hand, has the Indus River Plain nearby for supplies, so logistical supply is relatively easy.

At this time, the port of Daman welcomed uninvited guests.

"Boom~~"

Pakistani naval ships are shelling the port of Dammam.

Daman is the sixth Indian coastal city attacked by Pakistani naval vessels since the shelling of Mumbai.

The importance of the navy was vividly demonstrated in the India-Pakistan war.

In the past, many people would think that with the development of aircraft and missiles, the navy was no longer important. After all, the combat radius of an aircraft is often hundreds or even thousands of kilometers, and the range of a missile is even longer.

In the face of aircraft and missiles, warships are sitting ducks.

But it turns out that not every country has a strong air force and missile force and can attack warships with missiles.

It should be said that the number of people in the world who can do this can be counted on one hand.

For more countries, when they do not have a navy, facing the navy of their opponents, they have to pay the price in blood.

Like the Pakistani naval formation, it did not capture the ports, but only bombarded bridges, ports, railways, and roads, paralyzing transportation facilities, which could have caused a great impact and even directly affected the supply of materials on the front battlefield.

Moreover, the war was not limited to the front-line battlefield, but also spread to the rear of India, causing extremely deadly impacts and blows.

Now India’s voice for a ceasefire can no longer be suppressed.

Many forces took advantage of this opportunity to launch an attack, oppose the policies of the ruling party, and even curse the ruling party for being used as a gun by others.

Some forces even want to establish their own territory or even establish an independent country.

After all, in the past, India was never a country, but a geographical concept.

This sentence is not only widely circulated in other countries and regions, but also in India. It is said that it was said by the famous Indian poet Tagore, and many Indians believe this statement.

And if you know a little bit, you will find that before the partition of India and Pakistan, India has always been a geographical concept, not a country like India.

If India was one country, there would be no partition of India and Pakistan.

In Pakistan and India, many people attribute the conflict between the two sides to the "Partition of India and Pakistan" created by the British.
