The rise of a great power: starting with military industry
Chapter 1377: 2 Earth Storms
On New Year’s Eve, we were having a reunion dinner.
The secretary came over hurriedly and whispered something in Liu Tao's ear.
Liu Tao stood up and followed the secretary out.
Snowflakes were floating in the sky, but Liu Tao didn't care. He let the snowflakes fall on him and went straight to the bird watching house. It was very quiet there and no one disturbed him.
He took the phone from the secretary and made a call.
A few minutes later, after hanging up the phone, Liu Tao still couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes.
He did not expect that when war broke out in Australia, the United States's maneuvers were not able to suppress the warlords. These warlords actually openly declared independence and established their own countries, and even divided their territories.
No one can predict what chain reaction this will trigger.
You know, the United States has more than 50,000 troops stationed in Oceania. Will the Americans become angry and choose to intervene directly?
Americans played a crucial role in enabling so many people to come to Australia and live in Australia.
As a result, these forces now want to establish an independent country. Isn't this a slap in the face of the Americans?
You know, it's not just Australia that accepts refugees. European countries have also accepted refugees from Africa and the Middle East to varying degrees. Will these European countries have a stress response?
And just now, Bharat launched a military strike against Eastern India and took the lead in initiating a war.
Bharat has been hit hard in this round of world economic crisis, and its internal conflicts have become increasingly acute. Whether Bharat will choose to launch a foreign war to divert internal conflicts has been studied long ago, and the intelligence forces around Bharat are also paying close attention to this area.
It was previously judged that Bharat might attack the Indus Delta again to seize the Indus Delta, or attack northward to regain control of the plains on both sides of the Ganges.
These are fertile lands and grain-producing areas. The annual grain output is enough to free Bharat from food shortage and reduce hunger.
However, Bharat turned out to launch an attack on Eastern India.
You know, there is only a corridor between East India and South India controlled by Bharat, and the military strength of both sides is still quite strong.
Although the two sides had huge conflicts and even accused each other of being traitors, their interests were the same when facing Bharat.
Now that Bharat has launched a military operation against East India, South India will inevitably launch a war against Bharat in accordance with the agreement between the two parties, thereby easing the pressure on East India.
Whether it is East India or South India, they are no match for Bharat if they face it alone.
But if the two sides join forces, they will be able to stop Barat.
The intelligence system obtained intelligence as soon as the war broke out.
To be honest, in a war of this scale, military movements should have been detected early on.
But it is not surprising that such a thing happened to Bharat.
The fuse of the war was that a company of Bharat entered eastern India to steal things, thus igniting the war.
Outrageous?
And the truth is so outrageous!
The war was hasty and chaotic, but that was the reality!
Liu Tao even doubted whether this war would trigger a new round of war in South Asia.
Of course, like everyone else, Liu Tao was wondering if there were Americans behind this.
The Americans already have two naval bases and one air force base in Bharat, and have a strong influence on both the east and west coasts of Bharat.
As for that air force base, there are more than 70 fighter jets, and they are all equipped with F16 fighter jets and F15 fighter jets. This is a powerful force in Bharat.
It is an indisputable fact that the influence of Americans in Balat has been expanding rapidly in recent years.
If the Americans are behind this, everyone knows what their purpose is.
Americans are very good at fanning the flames.
Moreover, the Americans are withdrawing their troops from the Iraqi battlefield. Now the third batch of US troops has withdrawn from Iraq and is heading to the Palestinian-Israeli border to deploy defenses.
Even though Saddam's army was testing and beginning to retake towns around the mountains, it did not change the US's decision to withdraw its troops.
With such a big change happening, related news soon appeared on the Internet.
Even on New Year's Eve, these two pieces of news were considered major international news.
This night is destined to be a sleepless night.
As more and more news came in, Liu Tao learned more and more.
He was somewhat surprised that the Americans would mobilize U.S. troops in Australia and New Zealand so quickly and would personally go to help the Australian army.
You have to know that these warlord forces were armed with money and weapons by the Americans, and they were supported by the Americans themselves.
Moreover, these warlords were so numerous and powerful that the Americans actually resorted to direct military action.
As for Bharat, in just a few hours, South India responded by opening fire on the border.
It is obvious that South India also knows the principle that the lips and teeth are interdependent.
Even South India and East India sent delegations to Pakistan, Khalistan, Nepal, and even Bangladesh was excluded from the delegation.
To date, there is no evidence that the Americans are behind this war.
Instead, Bharat urgently ordered a batch of weapons and ammunition from Russia.
The next day, which was the first day of the Lunar New Year, CCTV4, Hong Kong Satellite TV and other programs launched a series of special programs such as Australian Storm and South Asian Storm, inviting experts as guests so that the audience could better understand the two wars.
Reconnaissance satellites detected large-scale military movements of all parties from space.
Nowadays, it is difficult for wars to be sudden. One important reason for this is that it is very difficult for the reconnaissance satellites in space and the intelligence systems of various countries to mobilize large numbers of troops while concealing their presence.
It is absolutely true that modern warfare is high-tech warfare.
Countries have formed military observation groups to go to the battlefields and learn about the war up close.
Barack held a press conference and his attitude showed a clear change. Regarding the outbreak of war in Australia, Barack condemned those who provoked the war, believing that it was a violation of human rights and Australia's sovereignty. His attitude was very tough. He also stated that the US troops stationed in Australia and New Zealand would help the Australian army to quell the rebellion and restore peace in Australia, and warned the Japanese.
As for the war that broke out in South Asia, Barack did not condemn Bharat at all, nor did he condemn Bharat's war against East India as a violation of East India's sovereignty. Instead, he called for any conflicts between the two sides to be resolved through political negotiations rather than war, and expressed that the United States was willing to mediate the war between the two sides and that the two sides could hold a peace negotiation meeting in the United States.
On this day, Sittwe Port has become a large seaport, with ships arriving here every day to unload goods, or to load goods and export them to all parts of the country.
At this time, a ship was loading and unloading weapons and ammunition.
This was an emergency purchase by East India and South India last night, and it can be loaded on the ship today. At the dock, there were mercenaries on guard.
By shipping, it takes less than a day to reach the ports in East India and South India for loading and unloading.
The cost of war is extremely terrifying.
Whether it is weapons, equipment and ammunition, or daily necessities.
Since ancient times, the law of war has always been that food and fodder must be sent ahead before the army moves.
Modern warfare is a high-tech war, but nothing has changed: wars are fought with logistics.
Now the world's attention is turned to Australia and South Asia. After all, it is hard not to pay attention to such a large war.
Just as the ship sounded its whistle and set sail, a high-level meeting was being held in the capital.
This meeting, however, was discussing the situation in Australia and South Asia.
As the world's factory, any disturbance anywhere in the world will affect the world's factory.
After all, a reality in today's world is that China has trade relations with every country.
Take Australia for example. Chinese goods are exported to Australia, and Chinese import minerals, wool, aquatic products, red wine, etc. from Australia.
Now that such a big thing has happened in Australia, trade is naturally affected.
There is also trade between the two countries in Barat. However, because the reputation of the people of Barat is not very good, if you want to import goods, you often have to pay more Dingjun before the merchants in China will ship the goods, and the balance must be paid before unloading at the dock.
There is no other way. Bharat’s credibility is so bad that everyone is afraid of being cheated, so they have to resort to this method.
Look at the European, American and Japanese companies that invested in Bharat, and they all ended up getting cheated and crying.
Japan gave Bharat a loan to build a railway, but ended up being cheated. They helped plan the railway, select the route, conduct feasibility analysis, and design everything, and even gave India a large amount of ultra-low-interest loans with a repayment period of 50 years. However, when it came time to start land acquisition, the people of Bharat told the Japanese that this piece of land could not be acquired and the route had to be changed, and that piece of land could not be acquired and the route had to be changed.
Even the small section of railway that had just been built, including the tracks, was stolen by the Bharat people.
According to the current progress, it will be impossible to complete the construction even in twenty or even thirty years, let alone ten years.
As a result, when the world financial crisis broke out, the Japanese discovered that all the ultra-low-interest loans had been spent by Bharat.
The Japanese are miserable, and the Americans are not much better. The Americans put their telephone services and Internet services in Bharat, but the result is that every year Americans are defrauded of hundreds of billions of dollars by the people of Bharat, and sometimes even hundreds of billions of dollars a year. Some Americans have even been deceived into Bharat, raped, and then the women were sold and the men had their organs removed.
The Americans have so many military bases all over the world, but only the soldiers at the American military base in Barat are raped by the locals. What's more terrifying is that the Barat people not only rape the female soldiers, they also don't let the male soldiers go.
There is a consensus about Bharat that one cannot see Bharat or understand what Bharat people are talking about with normal thinking.
Otherwise, even the smartest person would not be able to figure it out even if he thought about it for ten days and ten nights.
At present, what we need to consider is not stopping the war. It is easy to start a war, but it is not so easy to stop it, because only one party can start a war, but both parties are needed to stop it.
The war can only be stopped when the war reaches a certain extent, both sides are exhausted and do not want to fight anymore, and other countries want to mediate the war.
What we need to consider now is to control the scale and boundaries of the war!
Bharat, there are no nuclear weapons, no intercontinental ballistic missiles, and no medium-range ballistic missiles. The only thing it has is short-range ballistic missiles.
This also means that wars over border control are very likely in South Asia.
In addition, everyone needs to have some expectations and be mentally prepared about what role the United States will play in this.
The United States and the Soviet Union have extensive experience in fighting proxy wars.
No one can predict whether the United States will take advantage of this opportunity to start a proxy war in South Asia, thereby triggering a reshuffle in South Asia.
In addition to the United States, the Russian factor must also be considered.
Since the Soviet Union, the relationship between the Soviet Union and Bharat has always been good. The two sides have a lot of cooperation. Even Bharat's space research organization was built with Soviet aid. And this friendship has continued to Russia. The arms trade between the two sides has never been interrupted. Bharat is definitely an important customer of Russian arms.
In this regard, Russia has cheated Barat of a lot of money.
On the other hand, there is the United Kingdom. After all, Barat is a Commonwealth country after all.
"The agreement between Pakistan and the Americans is about to expire. Can they consider not renewing it?" someone suggested.
Pakistan and the Americans signed the agreement in 2001. It was a five-year agreement and was later renewed once, which means that the agreement between the two parties expired in 2011.
If Pakistan no longer renews the agreement with the Americans, it means that the Americans will have to withdraw from the Afghan battlefield.
After all, there is no land route, and even no air route at that time, so it is impossible to fight a war.
Ever since the fallout with Russia, the Americans’ supplies for the Afghan battlefield have been entering the battlefield through Pakistan.
"This is a good suggestion, you can consider it!"
Liu Tao's eyes also lit up.
Originally, in his opinion, it would be best if the Americans fought in Afghanistan and Iraq for at least 20 years.
But it is obvious that Americans can no longer bear it.
Even the Iraq War is about to end!
It is obvious that the battlefield in Afghanistan will not last long.
However, some people also suggested that now is not the time.
The longer the Americans fight in Afghanistan, the better. After all, as long as the war continues, the Americans will have to continue to invest.
This is also obvious and the benefits are self-evident.
For China, the current focus is still on promoting regional integration, which is truly creating a large market.
After so many years of hard work, the results achieved are gratifying.
Although there are many difficulties and setbacks in this process, the process of solving difficulties and overcoming setbacks is also a training exercise.
China is not interested in war at all, because China truly loves peace and does not like war.
Therefore, it will not be easily involved in any war.
In any war, bloodshed must be avoided. In modern wars, the cost of such wars is staggering.
Not to mention, the Chinese have been pursuing the highest realm of military tactics since ancient times - defeating the enemy without fighting! (End of this chapter)
