The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

From the perspective of its own interests, South Asia absolutely does not allow the existence of a hegemon.

In the end, they are mutually restrained, and no one can be the boss.

There can be major countries, but if hegemony emerges, it is absolutely unimaginable.

Besides, Liu Tao is actually worried about Sikkim.

The time slot in 1975 was just the time from chaos to rectification, and he had no energy to care about it.

Before, whether it was the Soviet Union or the United States, they were happy to see India expand its border connection with China.

At that time, China was in a state of siege and interception.

But it is different now. The situation has changed greatly. At least it is not the Soviet Union and the United States that are on the side of India.

In addition, the guerrillas who have been trained hard for several years also have the strength to fight.

The regrets of the previous life can be made up at this time.

Liu Tao really doesn't want to miss such a good opportunity.

If he misses this opportunity, it will be difficult to appear again in the future.

That is nearly 50,000 square kilometers of land, and it must not be given to the third brother for nothing.

There is also the Kashmir region, which is a strategic location. If you don't control it now, you may not have so many opportunities to control it in the future.

Soon, Liu Tao heard good news.

The United States is willing to give $3 billion to help Pakistan's just cause.

Although this money is far less than what the United States gave his old father, it is still an unexpected surprise.

At the same time, as Pakistan waved $3 billion in funds, it made purchases wantonly.

On the other side, the guerrillas in Bhutan and Sikkim frequently attacked, attacked convoys, and attacked outposts. For a time, the land of Bhutan and Sikkim was full of smoke.

Under the efforts of the guerrillas, in just one week, the guerrilla bases of Bhutan and Sikkim were connected.

At the same time, Kashmir became a meat grinder, and both India and Pakistan invested a lot of troops here.

And a mercenary set out, and after half a month of twists and turns, they finally arrived in Kashmir and began to perform their mission here.

Western Afghanistan.

The huge mountains disappeared here. Along the western border of Afghanistan, there appeared a rare plain area. The sun had already set, and the fiery afterglow illuminated the desolate Afghan region.

A convoy was walking on the flat ground. The road was bumpy, and the convoy could only slow down. These vehicles were very tall, and the tires were suitable for off-road mahjong block patterns. They were all all-wheel drive. As the convoy moved forward, it stirred up a cloud of dust.

In the middle of the convoy, there were also a small number of BMP infantry fighting vehicles and four-mounted Shilehe self-propelled anti-aircraft guns. Such a convoy was well armed.

In the sky, there were two female deer flying, monitoring the surrounding situation.

Because there were plains everywhere, the possibility of being attacked by the Afghan armed forces was very small. They walked carefully all the way here for hundreds of miles, and they were always safe.

"Boom!" At this moment, suddenly, an off-road truck in front of them crushed a mine. With the explosion of the mine, the entire off-road truck was blown upside down and burned in the air.

"Be careful! Watch out!" The Soviet commander of the convoy shouted immediately. He was in a BMP infantry fighting vehicle and looked outside.

There was nothing, and everything was bare.

It was just a roadside bomb.

The Hind helicopter flew over and searched around, but found nothing.

But at this moment, in a hidden place, two guerrillas were carrying portable air defense missiles with hatred in their eyes. If you are familiar with Chinese military equipment, you will recognize that this is the Chinese imitation of the Soviet Union's "Sam"-7 air defense missile.

The "Hongying"-5 air defense missile is China's first single-soldier portable air defense missile. Technically, it belongs to the first generation of products. Due to the limitations of technical conditions, the sensitivity of the infrared seeker of the "Hongying"-5 air defense missile is relatively low. It has a strong detection capability for the strong infrared radiation generated by the tail of the jet aircraft, but poor response to other parts. Therefore, it is only suitable for chasing the tail of the enemy aircraft and cannot effectively intercept it head-on.

After the emergence of the "Vanguard" portable air defense missile, the "Hongying"-5 air defense missile was eliminated.

Except for the one that appeared in Persia, the others flowed into Afghanistan.

Although the performance of the "Hongying"-5 is far inferior to the "Vanguard" portable air defense missile, it has one advantage, that is, it is cheap!

Two air defense missiles flew out and flew directly towards the Hind helicopter in the air.

"Quick, release the jamming bomb!" The pilot was terrified.

The jamming bomb was released, and the direction of the incoming missile was induced to deviate.

At the same time, the commander in the command vehicle was already commanding the armed personnel to attack the guerrillas.

More than an hour later, the gunfire and artillery sound stopped.

Twenty guerrilla bodies.

But the Soviet army also had one dead and three injured.

And several vehicles were lost.

"Damn guerrillas!" The Soviet commander looked at the loss statistics and gritted his teeth.

If it was a head-on battle, those guerrillas would have been crushed by the Soviet mechanized forces a hundred or eighty times.

But the guerrillas became more and more familiar with guerrilla warfare, and the more they fought, the more they became more and more adept.

The guerrillas never fought the Soviet army head-on, but specialized in fighting guerrillas, constantly ambushing Soviet camps or Soviet supply convoys.

If they could win, they would fight, and if they couldn't, they would run away.

Just like now, with more than a hundred guerrillas, the Soviet army took more than an hour to kill only twenty guerrillas.

Looking at those Type 56 semi-automatic rifles and even the Zhongzheng rifles, the Soviet commander was about to bite his teeth.

In the past few years, they have seized at least more than 100,000 Zhongzheng rifles, and even the Type 38 rifles.

What's more exaggerated is that they even have the Hanyang-made ones.

The government army they supported, with complete weapons and equipment, could not defeat the guerrillas.

In addition to anger, the Soviet commander's eyes were tired.

When he first entered Afghanistan, he was still an ordinary soldier. After a few years, he was promoted to a lieutenant, only one step away from a major.

But the endless guerrillas that seemed to be endless made him feel tired.

These guerrillas are like leeks, cut one crop and grow another.

Holding a military water bottle and drinking a sip of water, he began to command the trophies to be loaded onto the car and then continued on the road.

The two Gazelle helicopters in the air strengthened their aerial reconnaissance, but it was not easy to thoroughly reconnoitre the complex terrain in the air.

At a distance of only ten kilometers, a missile flew towards a ‘Gazelle’ helicopter in the air.

The pilot was very experienced and released jammers to jam the missiles and adjust the helicopter at the same time.

But this time, the missile was not jammed and hit the helicopter directly and accurately.

“It’s the ‘Vanguard’ air defense missile!” A panicked voice sounded.

The ‘Vanguard’ air defense missile is definitely a nightmare for helicopters, because this air defense missile has too strong anti-interference ability.

So far, they have not found a good way to deal with it.
